Chapter 736: The Small World of Hanging Coffin City - Pork Shop?! Unknown Area Exploration Ended
Fu Jiu thought about this question.
He stood on a small mound, with his arms folded, his head slightly raised, looking at the boundless sky and wasteland, as if thinking.
"Mr. Jiu, I'll keep watch for you. Why don't you take a rest for a while?" Xie Wuyi walked over.
Four years later, Xie Wuyi has entered the ninth level.
Fu Jiu turned his head and glanced.
Behind him, Jing Yuyan, Xue Wuwang and Ma Yuanhong were the most seriously injured and were adjusting their breathing. Huan Bo and Xue Cheng had just made breakthroughs and were now adjusting to stabilize their unstable cultivation after experiencing the battle.
"No need." Fu Jiu withdrew his gaze.
Xie Wuyi glanced at his bloodstained clothes and saw that his complexion was indeed not too bad, so he said nothing more.
Fu Jiu took the initiative to speak: "Little girl, what do you think these coffins are used for?"
Xie Wuyi was stunned by his address. After all, she was already in her thirties and could not be called a little girl. However, out of admiration for Yu Fujiu's strong ability and high prestige, Xie Wuyi did not correct the address.
She looked up at the coffins for a moment:
“It’s like a punishment.
This small world has thin oxygen, but gravity is five times that of our world, and it is extremely scarce in living resources, mineral resources, supernatural powers, and other energy resources. It is completely unsuitable for carbon-based organisms to survive, and even the various species and life forms we have seen before are not suitable for long-term survival here.
So I think this place is not a place for living things to survive, but a cemetery, a place of execution.”
She pointed at the hanging coffins again and said, “The ghosts that fell out of them that we encountered were all extremely ferocious, but these hanging coffins can control them and lock them up. I guess this is a cruel punishment that slowly tortures them to death.
I just don’t know how people in this world could create a world like this specifically for use as a place of execution.”
Fu Jiu listened with great interest and asked, "If it is a punishment, why doesn't it drop at regular intervals? After it drops, why do those who attack us and those who don't attack us disappear?"
Xie Wuyi was stunned and couldn't think of an answer for a moment.
Fu Jiu continued, "Since we entered the Hanging Coffin City, we have destroyed 12 black monsters in total, opened 18 hanging coffins in the sky, and 18 monsters fell, but we did not succeed in killing any of them.
Logically, there should be 6 more monsters in this wasteland. But I flew to the bottom of the hanging coffin twice to observe and count, and found that the number of monsters in the whole wasteland was still the same as the last time I observed.
So the question is, where did the extra six go?"
One more thing to add is that the wasteland is not like on a planet, it has no curvature, so after taking off you can see the wasteland shrouded in fog at the edge, but in actual search you cannot reach the edge of the fog.
Xie Wuyi felt extremely strange: "Could it be that these monsters can go beyond the border of the wasteland, but we can't find them?"
But after she said it, she felt that something was wrong. Was it just a coincidence that exactly 6 people walked out?
At this time, a voice came from behind. The five people woke up one after another and just heard the conversation between the two.
Huan Bo habitually turned into a snake's tail and slid over with a whooshing sound. However, when facing Fu Jiu, he would not wrap around him like he did with Chang Le. Instead, he coiled his snake tail around Fu Jiu's feet and stood beside him.
"Then Fujiu, can you give me a more reasonable explanation?"
Fu Jiu suddenly curled his lips, and his smile seemed a little eerie and strange:
"Look at this hanging monster, a monster roaming in the wasteland, and the lighting, a narrow space that is only suitable for dead things. Don't you think that this place is more like... a 'pork stall' than a place of execution?"
All six of them were silent.
Huan Bo's pupils trembled. He looked up and subconsciously followed Fu Jiu's thoughts.
If the hanging coffins in the sky and the monsters inside them are equivalent to the "meat" hung up to dry, then the monsters in the wasteland are the ones that are spread out on the stalls after being dried.
The lighting makes it easier for the "guests" to choose, and the wasteland squeezed in the middle, which is suitable for these monsters to exist, is the meat stall. The monsters that disappear are the "meat" that has been picked and eaten.
Pork stall...
Several people suddenly felt creepy.
Xuecheng and Xie Wuyi frowned and subconsciously took a half step towards Jing Yuyan at the same time.
Huan Bo stuck directly to Fu Jiu's arm: "Jiu, don't scare us! Oh my god, we won't be captured and eaten too, right?"
At this moment, several people were so scared that they were about to have hallucinations, as if in the next second, a pair of big hands would appear above them, grab them all and throw them into the pot.
Chang Le felt physically uncomfortable despite what she heard, but she admitted that her guess was the same as Fu Jiu's.
Moreover, compared to her shock at this small world, she was even more surprised at its creator, Jiufang Gui.
It’s hard to imagine how Jiufang Gui created these 36,000 simulated small worlds!
Fu Jiu was very calm. He raised his hand and patted Huan Bo's head: "If that's the case, do you think that guy who is used to eating those monsters will eat you?"
Huan Bo was stunned and thought: "That makes sense! Who would eat stones after being used to eating pork?"
Fu Jiu added calmly: "But if he has pica, it's hard to say."
The scales on Huan Bo's lower body were about to explode, but Fu Jiu wouldn't let him hug him. He turned around and entangled Xue Wuwang.
Xue Wuwang originally felt that the danger was scary, but when he was suddenly entangled, he was filled with disgust and forgot about his fear.
"No." Fu Jiu said, "This is just a simulated world. There is a controller. The simulated 'guests' will not suddenly change to eating flies on the meat stall."
Jing Yuyan had a complicated expression: "Mr. Jiu, although the description is very vivid, there is no need for you to scold yourself as well, right?"
Fu Jiu calmly replied: "I just think that stones are not as suitable as flies to fit our image in this world."
Huan Bo wailed, "OK, OK, don't worry about whether it's a fly or a stone, let's get out first. I've had enough of this place. Every day it feels like I'm standing on top of the Kunlun Snowfield and carrying the Kunlun Mountain. I'm so depressed that I'm going crazy!"
Xue Cheng, who came from the Kunlun Snow Plain and had practiced sword in the mountains for ten years, also nodded.
She could adapt to the oxygen concentration here, but she couldn't adapt to these things above her head.
No one can bear it, there are a bunch of coffins in the sky above their heads! What's more, these coffins are dropping things!
Seeing that they were all fine, Fu Jiu decided to head for the exit and leave.
The controller of this small world opened an exit for them, and they left together.
After returning to the outside of Yanhui Pagoda, they only felt the incomparable beauty of the sun, even though it was a dazzling white light at noon.
"Huh..." Xie Wuyi, who was always cold and emotionless, let out a long sigh and sighed, "I'm finally back to the world of the living."
Ma Yuanhong also had a lingering fear: "That is definitely not a place for human beings to stay."
Fu Jiu looked at them and said, "All unknown areas have been explored. Four years outside the Secret Realm means nine years according to the speed of time inside the Secret Realm. Thank you all for your help in exploring. Now that the mission has been completed, you don't have to come here on time tomorrow."
