I Have Something Here to Give You
I'm afraid they might have some backup plan.
Furthermore, this deal is beneficial to both parties.
It had no grudge against these funeral masters, so it could accept this condition in exchange for their lives.
After careful consideration, it still chose to make a deal with the reincarnator.
The deal involved the reincarnator, acting as a burial master, finding a way to bring all the remains from the mountain stream out for burial.
Once this is done, the monsters will stop attacking them.
The freak agreed to the deal out of a sense of unease.
The newcomers watched the veteran make the bizarre deal with an expression that seemed to say, "Is this even possible?"
It seems I've learned something.
I have this persistent feeling that my brain is itchy, like it's about to grow a brain.
Seeing their state, a veteran player kindly advised, "Don't assume that you can avoid trouble by trading with monsters you encounter in Dungeon. Most monsters aren't that easy to deal with."
"Unless you possess strength comparable to theirs, the monsters will ignore you."
Only when forces are equal will the pros and cons be weighed, and only then will compromises be reached.
But this depends on the situation.
The monster they encountered had a clear goal: to take revenge on those who had harmed it.
Some monsters are extremely wicked, attacking everyone indiscriminately; it is impossible to communicate with these monsters.
If newcomers think that all monsters are so easy to deal with, they might suffer significant losses in the next Dungeon.
"We understand."
"Is it because of the One Daoist priest? The monster must have agreed to the deal because it was afraid of his power, right?"
Li Yue understood it very well.
Tang Ping gave her an approving look.
Intelligent people tend to live longer.
"Let's go to town and find some tools. Getting in through this narrow entrance will be a difficult task."
Fortunately, one of the experienced individuals was a woman, and Li Yue was also a woman; they were both quite slim, so entering the cave shouldn't be a problem.
However, precautions should be taken.
A large group of people returned to the town.
When Li Eldest saw them return, he assumed they had completed their mission and went to greet them.
"My dad has already been buried. When can we go over to burn incense?"
Xiao Lai and the others felt a little guilty when they thought of the coffin that had turned to ashes, Old Master Li, and the two large pits that had never been filled.
They could only offer a perfunctory reply, "Wait a little longer. Your family's situation is rather special. The sun is blazing right now, so we need to let it dry properly to dispel any bad luck. We'll go to offer sacrifices tonight."
Li Eldest, without suspecting anything, listened to the professional's advice and quickly prepared a good meal so that the funeral directors could have enough to eat.
Xiao Lai and the others, who had been busy for a long time, were indeed hungry.
They then sat down at the table and began to eat.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they asked Li Eldest if he had any sturdy ropes for the funeral arrangements.
Li Eldest did indeed have some. He went and found the rope, handed it to the group of funeral directors, and kept thanking them.
"Thank you for your help with my father's matter, and also with my two younger brothers."
The newcomers, feeling indebted to Li for his hospitality, were somewhat guilty, but the seasoned veterans accepted Li Eldest's thanks without batting an eye.
Anyway, the monster will definitely move again at night, and when things get chaotic, it won't be able to take care of the graveyard on the other side of the desolate mountain.
They weren't panicked at all.
They took ropes and went into the mountains.
Before it got dark, I wanted to go inside and explore.
The experienced woman and Li Yue, bound by ropes, entered the cave.
Upon seeing the bones scattered all over the floor, they couldn't help but curse, "What a tragedy!"
The number of bones in this pile could not possibly have been created by the Li Family family alone.
It's likely that people throughout the entire Small Town were involved.
This Small Town is a den of iniquity.
They took out a piece of cloth, wrapped some of the bones in it, tied it to a rope, and had the people above pull it out.
Because the cave entrance was too small, the remains had to be transported out in batches. It took quite a while to move all the remains from the cave to the top.
Finally, they were tied with ropes and pulled up.
"There are over a hundred people here. Apart from a few dozen women, the rest are probably babies."
"No wonder it harbors such resentment. If it were me, no one in this town would have a good time."
They collected the remains and took them to the barren mountain, where the large pit they had dug earlier became their burial place.
However, perhaps they didn't want to be buried here, deep in the mountains where they lost their lives.
Xiao Lai and the others dug soil to fill the pit, and this time it went very smoothly.
The earth slowly buried these bones.
"Alright, now we have a lifesaver."
The deal is done; the monsters won't touch them anymore.
That night, Li Eldest wanted to find the funeral masters, but on the way, he saw a figure standing quietly ahead. The figure seemed somewhat familiar...
He took a few steps forward, and when he saw the person's face clearly, he yelled and tried to turn and run away.
But in an instant, the figure appeared behind him and climbed onto his back. "I died a terrible death."
"It hurts..."
Li Eldest's neck was being strangled, so tightly that his eyes rolled back in his head.
The cold, heavy body pressed down on him, making every step he took feel like carrying a heavy mountain.
He fled in terror, but could not shake off the monster on his back.
A scream shattered the tranquility of the Small Town.
The experienced individuals stood at the room's window.
They listened to the screams coming from outside.
Throughout the entire Small Town, heart-wrenching cries for help echoed everywhere.
They didn't dare step out of the room at all.
"Wow, is this Dungeon really that difficult?"
"If the second night is this difficult, I don't think even we seasoned veterans would be able to get through tonight."
"It's because you completed some hidden side quest, which triggered a special event."
The next day.
The entire Small Town fell into a deathly silence.
The newlyweds spent seven days peacefully in the Small Town, and the monsters kept their promise and did not harm them.
However, the other newcomers who didn't participate weren't so lucky. They were mistaken for Small Town and killed by the bloodthirsty monsters.
"We have one hour left. Oh, right, we still need to find that special NPC."
Xiao Lai and his group found the special NPC outside the town.
He stood at the crossroads of the Small Town, looking at the sky above Small Town, silent.
Seeing these people approaching, Shen Yu said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. This is karma, and retribution is inevitable. I have something to give you."
Shen Yu took out several wrapped talismans and gave them to them.
Xiao Lai and the others accepted the gifts with delight.
These talismans are often used to ward off attacks from monsters, and those from special NPCs are definitely more effective.
