After swallowing the Life Soul Fruit, the effect was surprisingly good. After all the energy was digested, Zi Chen found that he could move more freely.
If he has a sufficient number of Life Soul Fruits, I believe he can solve the trouble of being excluded by the rules in a very short time and successfully adapt to this world.
"How about it?"
Shanya looked at him with expectation in his eyes.
Zi Chen nodded and said, "It's much better."
Through the previous dialogue between Shan Ya and Han Rui, Zi Chen no longer expected to get more Life Soul Crystals, so he still had to rely on himself to adapt to this place.
"Then you have a good rest and I will come back to you tomorrow."
Zi Chen nodded.
Shan Ya left and closed the door again.
Zi Chen began to practice the ghost soul-eating method again, and the pain that had been relieved before became worse again.
But in order not to continue being called an idiot, Zi Chen must persevere.
Wisps of soul power enter the body and become part of one's own body.
It's just that these soul powers from the outside world seem to be composed of countless fine needles, densely packed, and the process of integrating into oneself is the process of piercing the body.
The pain is unbearable.
But still have to endure it.
…
…
On this day, the group of four still had no harvest.
"Shanya, if you hadn't saved that boy last time, we would have hunted a soul-eating beast long ago."
Han Rui was scolding Shanya dissatisfiedly along the way, "It's good now, but we have gained nothing. How will the people in the village survive next? You are going to watch everyone starve to death!"
Shan Ya was silent, wondering if he knew he was in the wrong.
…
…
The day after Zi Chensu woke up, he finally left the room, but his movements were still slow and he needed to hold on to a wooden stick to move forward.
A group of sallow-looking children enthusiastically led him to the entrance of the village. They were here every time, waiting for the return of the hunting team.
It was said to be a hunting team, but in fact there were only four people.
"My name is Liangbao, what's your name?"
A little boy, about ten years old, tilted his head and looked at Zi Chen.
"Zi Chen."
Zi Chen said, his voice was a little hoarse, which was caused by the constant pain of his soul.
"Which village did you come from before?" Liangbao asked again.
Zi Chen shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
Liangbao mistakenly thought that Zichen had forgotten his identity, and said in surprise: "Did they use you as bait?"
"What bait?" Zi Chen asked curiously.
"When hunting soul-eating beasts, if there is a bait, the success rate will be greater. I heard from the village chief that in other villages, those who have not awakened their soul power will be used as bait.
Liangbao's eyes widened and he said, "You must have been used as bait, right?"
But then, Liangbao shook his head again and said, "That's not right. Looking at your outfit, you should be from a big tribe, so you shouldn't be used as bait."
After hearing what Liangbao said, Zi Chen felt even more grateful to Shan Ya. The timing of his appearance was completely a natural bait, but Shan Ya rescued him.
In a place like this, this kind of character is extremely valuable.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
The voices of other children rang out, followed by cheers.
Zi Chen raised his head and saw four people returning empty-handed from a distance. It was obvious that they had gained nothing today.
A group of children cheered and ran forward.
Zi Chen let out a sigh.
"We have disappointed everyone. We have no harvest today. It was that damn idiot who made us unlucky and have no harvest for several days."
While speaking, Han Rui was looking towards Zi Chen. With his extraordinary eyesight, he saw Zi Chen standing at the door to greet him.
"Han Rui, shut up, what does this have to do with Zi Chen?"
Shan Ya said dissatisfiedly that in the morning, she went to Zi Chen's room again, had a conversation with Zi Chen, and learned his name.
"If it weren't for him, we would have harvested a few days ago, why would we have to wait until now?"
Han Rui said coldly: "It's better now. We have gained nothing in the past few days. In the next few days, I don't know how many people will starve to death."
Glancing at Zi Chen, Han Rui said unceremoniously: "I asked you not to save him, but you refused to listen. Now it's better. I don't know how many people in our village will starve to death because of him!"
At this time, the group of people was approaching the entrance of the village. Han Rui glanced at Zi Chen, snorted coldly, and said "idiot", and then turned around and entered the small village.
Shan Ya walked to Zi Chen and said sheepishly: "Don't mind it, Han Rui is such a person. In fact, he has no intention of targeting you."
Zi Chen nodded, as he was living under someone else's roof, he didn't seem to be qualified to express his opinion at the moment.
A group of children welcomed the four people into the village. For them, no matter whether these people gained something or not, as long as they came back alive every day, it should be the greatest comfort.
Zi Chen stayed there alone, looking at the gradually darkening sky, looking at the end of the field of vision, the dense forest that looked like a dark giant beast, he said secretly: "What kind of place is this?"
A feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.
"cough!"
There was a slight coughing sound coming from behind.
Zi Chen retracted his thoughts and immediately turned around to see an old man with a cane standing behind him.
Zi Chen saluted the old man.
The old man walked up to Zi Chen, a light flashed in his hand, and a Life Soul Fruit appeared, and he handed it to Zi Chen.
Zi Chen glanced at the old man. He had a stooped back and wrinkles on his face, as if he was running out of time.
He shook his head and did not accept it.
Although I know deep down in my heart that this Life Soul Fruit is a good thing.
"How does it taste?"
The old man said again, his voice even hoarse and weak.
Zi Chen shook his head again. He had been in this village for several days and knew the value of the Life Soul Fruit very well.
It can be said that this is something that can truly save lives.
All lives!
The old man did not force himself. After putting away the Life Soul Fruit, he walked to Zi Chen and said, "No one can survive in this place without the Life Soul Fruit."
Zi Chen listened quietly without interrupting.
The old man continued: "The Life Soul Fruit is the only thing that maintains the continuation of life. If you want to survive, you need to continue to obtain the Life Soul Fruit."
Zi Chen asked: "How to obtain the Life Soul Fruit?"
The old man said: "Catch a soul-eating beast and go to the tribes that have the divine soul mill to exchange it for the corresponding life soul fruit."
"Shenhun Tianmo, what is that?" Zi Chen asked again.
The old man smiled slightly and said bitterly but mysteriously: "It is a very precious thing. It is so precious that we in Kata Village cannot get it no matter what."
Zi Chen fell silent.
The old man glanced at Zi Chen, leaned on crutches, and walked towards the distance, "Young man, if you need the Life Soul Fruit, you can come to me."
