"Isn't it supposed to be like this?"

The lord smiled, picked up a deer leg, and chewed the bones together with a crunching sound.

"Little girl, don't be so impatient, you haven't seen what I am like."

The lord clicked and ate a lot of meat, making Liang Erni's teeth itchy with anger.

She picked up a brick from the ground and prepared to throw it.

This time is different from the table just now. If it is smashed firmly, it will at least have the power of a cannonball.

"There are changes, let's take a look first." Li Zhi stopped her little hand.

The lord ate more and more, and the food piled on the table became less and less. His stomach was stretched like a balloon, and then two women came over and took off his clothes.

Because he is too fat, even if he takes off his coat, there is nothing inappropriate for children. In addition to the accumulated fat, there is a circle of holes the size of coins around his belly.

These small holes kept squirming, as if something was trying to come out of them.

One second, two seconds...Pfft, tsk!

All the holes were opened, and dark red things spurted out from inside. These things had solidified and agglomerated before they fell to the ground.

After spraying for a full two minutes, the lord stopped. His plump figure had suddenly turned into a normal human figure, and dark red strips like hills were piled up around him.

The waiter in the castle picked up the red strip and put it in a bag.

Carry them out one bag at a time.

Li Zhi picked up a piece, squeezed it with a little force, and turned it into powder: "This smell... this is life soil."

Life soil is the staple food of village residents. Every once in a while, the lord will distribute a certain amount of life soil to prevent most village residents from starving to death.

The lord changed his clothes and looked more pleasing to the eye: "Yes, it is life soil. Only if I eat enough delicious food can I secrete this life soil. If my appetite cannot be satisfied, the residents here will also be hungry.

Death, so, little girl, do you still think I did something wrong?"

Liang Erni put down the stone and looked at Li Zhi.

Among the patients in the welfare hospital, she has never been very smart, so now she is confused.

Li Zhi took over the conversation: "You are a demon."

The lord sneered: "Because I am a demon, you regard me as an enemy?

joke!

If I hadn't protected these tens of thousands of humans, they would have been eaten up by the monsters outside.

If it weren't for my protection, do you think those hunting teams would have come back alive after going out to the village?

I'm afraid you have already realized in your heart that I am the savior of this village, and they can only exist because of my protection."

Li Zhi was silent for a while: "The outside world is already a human world. If you really think about these villagers, you should let them return to human civilization."

The lord sneered: "The outside must be better than here. The war is about to start. They can still survive if they stay here, otherwise when the war breaks out...and I have protected them for so many years, can't I keep them here and enjoy themselves now?"

"

Li Zhi was speechless. In the face of the facts, he had nothing to say.

The lord's words were impeccable. Facts spoke louder than words. At least from the outside, there was no reason for him to become an enemy of this lord.

In the end, Li Zhi and Liang Erni left the lord's castle in despair.

Before leaving, Li Zhi suggested that the castle should be searched thoroughly, but the lord refused. It was Li Zhi's fault, and he could not use force to search.

Liang Erni asked: "What should we do now? Should we leave?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "How can we leave without getting the secret box? Besides... I don't think things here are that simple."

After that, Li Zhi and Liang Erni stayed at Qi Dazhu's house.

He would bring out a large amount of food every day, making Qi Dazhu's family feel like they were living in paradise. Occasionally, they would bring some food cooked by Li Zhi and give it to those who were about to starve to death, so that they could remember the taste of the outside world.

Apart from cooking, Li Zhi did not do anything these days.

He has been observing, observing the people in the village, and collecting various legends and history here.

As a result he made many new discoveries.

First, there are the people in the village.

Most men in their prime are not satisfied with their current life, but they can only accept it passively. Their hearts are full of anger, but for the sake of their families and their lives, they can only endure it.

Especially for the members of the hunting team, most of the prey is taken away every time they hunt. Although they can only endure it, they are not willing to do so.

Secondly, there is the history of this village.

Outside the village, Li Zhi saw the remains of the wall that had been demolished. It was obvious that the original village was several times larger than it is now, which meant that the population of the village was gradually decreasing.

According to the lord, he would leave at least enough food to ensure survival for everyone in the village. Under such conditions, the village has flourished for at least a hundred years, and the population should be increasing.

In addition, villages have no history, only word of mouth passed down by the old people. According to their words, Li Zhi compiled a timeline.

However, there are some problems with this timeline. Every ten years, there is always a period of time that is blurry. If it is the fault of one or two people, it can be explained as forgetfulness, but almost all old people are like this, which means there is something wrong with their memory.

.

Another important point is that the old people in the village have been living in the village since they can remember. They have no memory of the war, so their memories have not been erased.

Finally, there is the legend.

Here are some widely circulated stories used to scare children. Most of them will disappear after doing something wrong...

The research had not lasted long, and Li Zhi had not seen the truth yet, but he could be sure that the structure of this village was not as simple as the lord said.

On the fifth day, Li Zhi did not continue the investigation because he was taking Liang Erni out.

Qi Dazhu's hunting team is going out hunting again.

Li Zhi has been supplying a large amount of food these days, and the wild beasts he caught on the road are no longer enough, so this time, he plans to follow the hunting team and catch some more food.

By the way, you can also catch a few monsters and ask them what they think of the village.

…

The hunting team had been traveling for half a day. Li Zhi looked at the sky with an unclear expression: "Hey, I wanted to catch two monsters, but there seemed to be too many."

I saw dozens of monsters floating in the sky.

These demons are all of the same race, roughly humanoid in shape, with two thick tentacles on each arm, and bat wings full of holes on their backs.
