Chapter 49: The Origin of the Ruins
Su Shuang, Cao Fei, and Mo Xiaoxiao also drew their swords one after another. If they want to go deep into the center of the incident, they will encounter ruins at any time, and it will be too late to draw their swords by then.
Seeing this, Xu Shen also pulled out his sword and held it in his hand.
Although he practices drawing swords and slashing every day, his own strength concentration is not weak even with ordinary sword swings, not to mention that he can take care of himself even if he is in the team.
If you carry a sword on your back, it will look a bit pretentious and attract attention.
Xu Shen stood in the center of the team, with Mo Xiaoxiao on the left and Su Shuang on the right. They all knew that Xu Shen was a newcomer with little experience in slaying. Even if he had strong Xu skills, it would be useless if he could not react when attacked.
Cao Fei muttered something about Xu Shen's treatment, feeling deeply jealous.
Zhou Ye cut off the messy strange grass and branches of ruin trees along the way to avoid touching the people behind, and looked for the nearest route. From here, he can see that in the illusory reality, he has crossed the street and shuttled through an old
In a low building.
You can also see the fog people in the building resting, and some of them kissing me.
In the entertainment-poor world of fog people, basic desires are the only way to find happiness.
Xu Shen saw some indecent scenes and blushed a little.
He thought the same was true for the two girls beside him, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Su Shuang's expression was as usual, as if she was used to it, while Mo Xiaoxiao just frowned.
Sure enough, my experience in destroying ruins is still too lacking... Xu Shen secretly sighed in his heart.
He soon regained his composure and looked focused.
The forest is extremely deep, and as it goes deeper, there are more and more trees. Several people gradually join the road-opening team to clear a passage.
More than ten minutes later, stepping out of the dense forest, there was a cave in front of everyone.
Compared with the ruins cave we encountered last time in the Jackal and Tiger Gang, the entrance of the cave in front of us is obviously larger, but the surrounding area of the cave seems to have been taken care of and there are no weeds.
The most bizarre thing is that there are several pairs of blood-stained shoes at the entrance of the cave.
There is a word engraved on the side of the cave entrance:
Home.
Zhou Ye frowned slightly when he saw the scene in front of him. He looked at the pairs of shoes and found that they were not combat boots worn by Han Yu and the others, but ordinary civilian shoes stained with xuli.
"These ruins actually think of themselves as human beings." Cao Fei saw the appearance in front of him and said with a contemptuous smile.
Xu Shen was secretly surprised and asked, "Can Xu know how to write?"
"Some do." Su Shuang frowned and looked around, and answered Xu Shen: "Some people regard themselves as human beings, so they will imitate human life."
Xu Shen couldn't help but think of "mother". At this time, a question emerged in his heart: "What exactly is the ruins?"
Maeve, who was wandering around the entrance of the cave, looked over after hearing this and said with a smile: "Do you really want to know?"
"Xu is Xu, a monster that has invaded from the depths of the world." Su Shuang said coldly, with murderous intent in her eyes. She obviously did not want to give Xu any other definition. Only monsters that must be 'killed' are the only destination for Xu.
!
Xu Shen could feel her hatred. The members of the Zhanxu were all involved in the Xu incident and most of them lost their loved ones. They themselves also suffered from the pain of Zhanxu, so they all hated Xu extremely.
"This issue has always been studied by professors in the inner city. Currently, there are four theories and four schools of thought. The first one comes from the depths of the Ruin Realm, the second one comes from the distortion of souls after human death, and the third one comes from the soul distortion after human death.
, is the accumulation of negative emotions from human beings, and the fourth type is the unknown, which is assumed to be created by some kind of terrifying thing."
Mo Xiaoxiao gave a deep answer, saying: "The current performance of the Xu is indeed in line with the first three characteristics. Most of the Xu we see have some human characteristics, and even disguise themselves as a certain person. This is like that person dying.
It’s the same thing that changed afterwards.”
"So the situation in front of us can also be understood to mean that the ruins in this cave are still imitating the habits of their lifetime, but they don't know that they have died and transformed into ruins."
Su Shuang looked unhappy and snorted coldly: "Then when they eat people, they should realize what they are doing. It is absolutely impossible for Xu to transform after death."
Mo Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If you transform into a Xu, some of your cognitions will be distorted. Just like when we eat, do you think it is a crime? If you eat pork and vegetables, do you think it is a crime to kill? Can eating people in the Xu?
There is no difference between us eating vegetables, but of course, for us Xu Zhanxu, it may be very delicious beef."
Speaking of this, she seemed to have whetted her appetite and licked her lips: "I also want to eat roast beef when I get back."
Several people saw her appearance and secretly thought that this guy was really not normal. While they were cutting down the ruins, they still had time to think about what to eat back home.
Zhou Ye stared at the cave in front of him for a while and said: "Okay, cheer up, Han Yu is still waiting for our reinforcements."
"We have been chatting here for so long, they must be dead." Cao Fei couldn't help but complain, but his words were full of dissatisfaction with Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao.
"Before we go in, why don't we deal with the ruins at the entrance of the cave first?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked.
Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat, but Maeve was the only one standing at the entrance of the cave.
Maeve was still smiling and seemed not to be affected by these words.
The faces of Zhou Ye and others changed a bit. Su Shuang stared at the entrance of the cave, but found that she could not sense any ruins. She couldn't help but turn to look at Mo Xiaoxiao: "Are you kidding or are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious," Mo Xiaoxiao said firmly.
Xu Shen was speechless, she was sick again.
Seeing Captain Zhou and others' nervous expressions, he didn't know how to remind her. At this moment, he finally understood why the Ruins Slayer Team in the inner city kicked her out.
Just kidding, lying about information during Operation Ruin Removal is like telling a ghost story in hell.
Zhou Ye's expression changed, and in the end he still felt that it was better to believe it or not. He gathered all his strength and asked Mo Xiaoxiao: "In which direction?"
"Above the cave." Mo Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Zhou Ye's figure rushed out with a whoosh, slashing instantly, and the sword blade struck the rock at the entrance of the cave. The force of the ruins stirred up, splitting a groove, and a large amount of dust fell down.
But obviously, he did not cut down the middle ruins, or in other words, there was no ruins here at all.
Zhou Ye understood immediately and looked at Mo Xiaoxiao with some annoyance.
"The ruins were chopped into pieces." Mo Xiaoxiao said.
Anger surged in Zhou Ye's chest, but he suppressed it in the end. After all, his superiors informed him when he was assigned that the other party was in some mental condition.
There's no use getting angry with a mentally ill person.
"Let's go!" Zhou Ye said suppressing his anger.
Su Shuang and Cao Fei were both speechless. They rolled their eyes at Mo Xiaoxiao and followed Team Zhou in.
Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao also quickly followed.
Not long after going deeper, Mo Xiaoxiao reminded again: "There is a ruin on the left."
Several people's hearts jumped, but then there was nameless anger. Zhou Ye looked at Su Shuang and said, "Is there any?"
Su Shuang glanced twice and shook her head slightly: "I didn't sense it."
"good."
Zhou Ye went straight forward. He decided to follow the way he performed the mission before, using Su Shuang as his only eyes. As for Mo Xiaoxiao, no matter how powerful she was, just treat everything she said as farts.
"Isn't it solved?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.
Xu Shen saw that the place was empty, and also saw Captain Zhou and the others' suppressed anger towards Mo Xiaoxiao. He immediately whispered in his ear: "Captain and the others will handle it themselves. We just need to help the captain and the others deal with those who attack us."
.”
"But we clearly saw it..."
"Then just pretend you didn't see it."
"Then what if we are attacked?"
"It's okay, Captain and the others responded quickly."
"Um, really?" Mo Xiaoxiao expressed doubt.
Xu Shen almost choked.
As the cave continued to go deeper, the light in the cave became darker and darker. Several people took out flashlights to shine, and the light was blurred in the ruins. However, the strong light of several flashlights together could still illuminate the cave.
They walked cautiously for seven or eight minutes. The cave was extremely deep, but they did not encounter any ruins. However, Mo Xiaoxiao was frightened a lot on the way.
Soon, everyone saw the end of the cave entrance.
The tip of Xu Shen's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled waves of familiar and friendly smell.
"What a strong smell, like accumulated fermented fish offal and rotten meat!" Su Shuang couldn't help but cover her nose. Even though she had experienced many ruin-cutting incidents, she was almost vomited by the smell, and her stomach was churning.
Perhaps because of the poor ventilation environment in the cave, the smell accumulated and was extremely pungent.
"Is it Captain Zhou Ye? Come and help!"
Han Yu's panicked screams came from the cave.
Zhou Ye's face became stern and he immediately said: "Hurry!"
Several people quickly rushed to the end of the cave entrance and shined their flashlights. In the dark cave, a scene like a dark cave appeared. After several people saw it clearly, their eyes widened with horror.
