Chapter 359 Explorers in the End Times
"It turns out that there are not only domesticated stone statues, but most of them are wild. If there is not enough strength to capture and restrain the stone statues, then they have to migrate with the stone statues, otherwise they will be swallowed by the black mist?"
After searching through the memory, Chen Xiyi stood under the stone statue and looked up at the stone statue.

He can clearly perceive the distortion in the stone statue, and the radiance emitted all the time is maliciously corrupting the human spirit.
Passed down from generation to generation, all people will have serious problems in their spirits, and eventually become soul monsters.
From the current point of view, everything seems to have not reached that moment. Although everyone's spirit has been polluted by corruption, it doesn't seem to be serious, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"It's really big, from the explorer in the black mist." An old voice said.
Chen Xiyi didn't turn his head to look at the other party. He knew who it was. He was the head of this village, the oldest person in the whole village.
"Indeed, it's just that he is bound here." Chen Xiyi said, the village head knew a lot, for example, his identity was appointed.
The explorer mentioned by the other party is a special profession, going to the black mist to find new stone statues or exploring various unknowns in the world.
This kind of people usually wear special protective clothing to go deep into the black mist to resist the erosion of the black mist, but most of them actually get no good.
Like this small village, there are no explorers. They are almost unable to support themselves. How could there be enough people to be explorers.
Explorers are generally young and middle-aged, because they have no extraordinary power, so they are also ordinary people, which is equivalent to fighting with their lives.
But not everyone is willing to go, many people would rather eat and die under the stone statue than go out to explore.
"Because it is bound here, our village can recuperate here. This is the first time we meet. Welcome to Yiyue Village. We have prepared some food. I hope you don't dislike it." Like Chen Xiyi staying next to the stone statue.
It's normal to think about it. An outsider stands on your lifeline, and it's pretty good if there is no bad word.
Chen Xiyi smiled slightly, he had an entry point.
"Then I would like to thank the village chief. I am just curious about the stone statues. Before, other people refused to let me get close to observe them." Chen Xiyi said.
The village chief's tone was a little strange: "The stone statue is dangerous, even if it is suppressed here, but once it breaks free from the chain, the power of the stone statue is enough to destroy the entire village."
"I know, but I'm still curious. After all, this is a magical life that can dispel the black mist." Chen Xiyi's tone was calm.
The village head suddenly realized: "You are an explorer of the stone statues, but the stone statues are not so easy to grasp."
The explorers of the Stone Statue School not only want to find stone statues to build more villages, but also explore the origin of the stone statues. They believe that the stone statues can end the era of black mist and bring back the sun that has disappeared for an unknown amount of time.
What's more, some people think that the stone statues are broken suns, so they can drive away the black mist and bring light to people, so as long as the origin of the stone statues is found, the sun may be able to reappear.
Explorers of this type have a very deep understanding of stone statues, and even most of the capture and suppression of stone statues are inseparable from the explorers of this stone statue school, which is also the largest number of explorers.
"That's right, has there been any movement recently?" Chen Xiyi asked casually, he naturally knew if there was any movement, but he just asked as usual.
The village head thought for a while before saying: "No, everything is still so dark."
"That's such a pity, I..." Chen Xiyi was about to say something when a heavily armed figure pierced through the fog.

Not only Chen Xiyi was attracted by the other party, but also the village head, which made the village head a little surprised: "It's really lucky that two explorers came today."
This surprised the village chief even more.
The black scars on the face represent the degree of erosion by the black mist, and also represent the time the opponent entered the black mist. The more black scars, the longer the time in the black mist.
"I need supplies." The other party said as soon as he came.
This look is different from a fake explorer like Chen Xiyi. Chen Xiyi is here looking at the stone statue leisurely, and the other party will eat it when he comes.
Don't look at the impoliteness of the other party, in fact, the other party is a normal explorer, and every village and city is obliged to replenish supplies for the explorer. This is a rule that has been developed for an unknown number of years. Otherwise, there will be no supplies and you will enter the black mist It's no different from sending to death, no matter how passionate people are, they won't go.
"Okay, this explorer, please come with me, and this one, I have already prepared the food, and the supplies you need will be prepared for you soon." After the village chief finished speaking, he motioned for Chen Xiyi to follow he goes.
Chen Xiyi has no dark scars on his face, so in the eyes of the village chief, he is a fledgling explorer, while Hu Huai is a seasoned explorer.
The sophistication of an explorer does not lie in age, but in black scars.
Hu Huai glanced at Chen Xiyi, didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he knew each other.
Chen Xiyi didn't say too much, but just followed the village head to the village head's house.
After arriving, Hu Huai didn't say anything, and directly ate the food provided by the village head.
There are meat, vegetables, soup, and staple food, which is already considered very luxurious, and only when entertaining explorers will there be so much food, otherwise, even the village chief would eat poorly.
The reason is also very simple, in addition to the reason of the black fog, there is also the loss of the sun in this world, which caused the plants to lose the sun and cannot survive, so a large number of them became extinct, leaving only some strong plants, and after cultivation, this ability Formed a new recipe today.
The taste of the entrance is actually not delicious, but in order to live, you have to eat it.
Fortunately, most people are already used to this taste. Hu Huai has been hungry for a lot of days, so he naturally gobbled it up. No matter why Chen Xiyi didn't eat it, he should fill his stomach first.
He ate for half an hour, his face was full of greasy and residue, and then he untied the belt around his waist and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been hungry for three days, if I can't find a village or It's the relocation of the tribe, and I'm going to starve to death."
After the other party explained his situation to Chen Xiyi, he asked Chen Xiyi: "Which city are you an explorer from?"
Generally speaking, villages cannot afford explorers, and only cities have explorers.
"How about you, look at the black scars on your face, it's unusual to have such an achievement at such a young age." Chen Xiyi didn't speak immediately, but instead asked the other party.
"The explorers who came out of the Expedition and Exploration Academy of Qingyi City have only experienced three black mist explorations not long after graduation." Hu Huai said with a proud tone.
This pride is not arrogance, but a sincere pride in what you have done.
"It turned out to be an explorer from Qingyi City, and also a top student of the Expedition and Exploration Academy. No wonder I was able to experience the black mist exploration three times at such a young age. It's amazing." The village chief also heard Hu Huai's words, holding two glasses The drink that was like paste came up, and each of them shared a glass.
Naturally, the village chief knows about Qingyi City. He was the village chief appointed by Qingyi City. Although he has never been there, he talked with the stone statue explorer who came to Qingyi City to appoint him and help to check the stone statue. , I also know a little about the situation of Qingyi City. This explorer of the Stone Statue School is from the Expedition and Exploration Academy of Qingyi City.
Stone statues naturally need to be stabilized and inspected regularly, otherwise, once they wake up or the chains are not secure, accidents are prone to occur, and many villages have become extinct because of this.
"Excuse me, are you an explorer of the Stone Statue School?" The village head seemed to be more emotional towards Hu Huai, and seemed to be begging him.
Hu Huai also understood what the village chief meant, and wanted him to help check and stabilize the stone statue, he said a little embarrassedly: "I am an explorer of the stone statue school, but I am not specialized in stone statues, but in pursuit. "
Hearing this, the village chief was also a little disappointed. There are two types of Stone Statue School. One is specialized in studying stone statues. This category helps people capture stone statues, suppress them, and check their stability. They are called specialized stone statues.
The other type is to search for stone statues, that is, to find the origin of stone statues and stone statues, on the one hand to help build more villages and cities, and on the other hand to end this era of black mist.
It can be regarded as a kind of division in the stone statue school.
"It turned out to be like this. Then when you return to Qingyi City, can you please help to inform the academy to send someone to our Yueyi Village to fix and repair the stone statue." The village chief said pleadingly, after all, this is related to his own village. Although it is not good to rely on others for their safety, they cannot leave the place shrouded by the brilliance of the stone statue at all.
Once they enter the black mist, they won't last long at all, and they will be corrupted into lost people.
"Okay, if I can return to Qingyi City to complete my fourth exploration, I will let you know." Hu Huai did not refuse, of course, the premise is that he can go back alive.
If he can't go back alive, then he has nothing to do.
Every time you go out to explore and return to the city where you are, it is considered a successful exploration, and if you can bring back some weird things, it can be regarded as a merit, regardless of whether it is useful or not. After all, it is explorers risking their lives. Danger brought back.
"Then I will trouble you, explorer." The village chief said hastily.
"You're welcome, village chief, when will the supplies I need be replenished?" Hu Huai asked.
"The supplies for the two explorers will probably take some time to get together, after all." The village chief said hesitantly, after all, this is not a small amount.
Chen Xiyi said directly: "I don't need to replenish my supplies, they are very sufficient, just enough for this little brother."
These words made the village head more and more confused. They can say that Yueyi Village has no store in front of the village or back. How can you have enough supplies?
Even if they come from Qingyi City, there will be a lot of loss in supplies.
But he didn't force it. He said that enough is enough. If one person's supplies are missing, the people in the village will be better off.
