Thriller Tour Group

Everyone took this rare opportunity to rest, supplement their water and energy reserves and discuss countermeasures.

“The beating three dynasties banquet is at six in the evening. If we go an hour late, we’ll arrive at seven.”

 

 

“The beating three dynasties banquet is the last attraction of the second scenic spot. It will surely be a very difficult attraction. If we are late, we can’t meet and discuss the plan with Leader Miao.”

“The most important thing is figuring out how we can get rid of the things in our stomachs.” 

Yu Hean looked worried as he said, “We can’t attend the banquet with these monsters, and we certainly can’t eat the medicinal egg.”

 

Having said that, Yu Hean still swallowed his saliva uncontrollably. He had just eaten two energy bars, but they didn’t alleviate his hunger at all. The others felt the same –  no matter what kind of high calorie things they ate, they didn’t feel full at all.

“We have to find out what the medicinal eggs do to the fetuses.”

Xu Chen said calmly, “I saw a special gray Yin energy on the eggs. Only the medicinal eggs, or something of the same nature as the medicinal eggs, can satisfy the babies.”

 

It was in order to observe the medicinal eggs that Xu Chen had taken so long to escape. In his eyes, the medicinal egg was a ball of grayish-brown resentment. This color was actually very similar to the color of the resentment on the fetuses.

After listening to him, everyone was lost in their thoughts.

“Let’s grab our own fetuses and stew them?”

Zhao Hongtu’s face was pale with pain. He couldn’t eat anything, and had just drank some water while his hand was clenched so tightly that protruding blue veins could be seen. He spoke a word at a time, evidently in deep pain. 

“Maybe.”

Xu Chen shook his head and supported Zhao Hongtu to switch the direction he was leaning towards, so that he could lean his back against the animals and feel better.

“The beating three dynasties banquet attraction has not started yet. It should be impossible to kill the babies now.”

It would be nice to know Leader Miao’s situation now. 

Xu Chen couldn’t help sighing. Their two sides should be mirror images of each other. If the ghost babies hadn’t dissipated after the washing on the third day custom on Miao Fangfei’s side, their babies might still be useful.

But now they were trapped in Baby Bamboo Miao Village, while Miao Fangfei was far away in Cordoned-off Village. Only tour guide III-9 could travel freely between the two places.

Soon, III-9 would return soon.

Wang Pengpai said, “We’ll have to look at what the next attraction is first.” 

The attraction after the washing on the third day custom was the beating three dynasties banquet. III-9 was bound to return and inform them about the new attraction.

“Yes, Guide III is coming back!”

 

Yu Hean was overjoyed. He got excited and rubbed his hands. He even ignored the hunger in his stomach and spoke urgently.

“We have to quickly find a solution. If we let Guide III see that we are in this animal coop, it would be too shameful.” 

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The tips of Xu Chen’s lips twitched. Unexpectedly, Yu Hean was thinking about this sort of thing instead of something serious. But following his line of thought, thinking of the scene of III-9 seeing them in the coop, Xu Chen couldn’t bear for it to happen.

Wei Xun stood on the bamboo steps of the stilted building which overlooked the animal coop. He gazed at his miserable tourists, who smiled at him in a flattering manner.

They were separated by the distance from the bamboo steps to the animal coop, and there were more than a dozen big white animals between them. In accordance with the regulations of the Travel Services, the tour guide’s explanation of the attraction should be done face-to-face. However, even if Wei Xun was to be killed, it was absolutely impossible for him to stand in the animal coop. 

Moreover, this animal coop was in the basement of Wu Laoliu’s stilted building. Wei Xun didn’t know how many insects were hidden in there, and he felt suffocated whenever he thought about it.

When he was done explaining the rules of the beating three dynasties banquet, it was Wang Pengpai and the other’s turn to feel suffocated.

“We’ll have to take the babies to attend the beating three dynasties banquet……sigh.”

To them, this wasn’t any good news. 

At present, Wang Pengpai and the others now had two urgent problems to be resolved instead of one.

1、如何在不吃药蛋的前提下，把肚子里的东西弄掉。

How should they get rid of the things in their stomachs without eating the medicinal eggs?

2、怎么在不吃药蛋的情况下，把婴儿带到丧魂涧。

How should they bring the babies to the Mourning Stream without eating the medicinal eggs?

They had already completed the washing on the third day custom experience, but the remaining problems had not been solved. The information about the beating three dynasties banquet shared by Guide III was the greatest help to them, but the remaining problems had to be solved by the tourists themselves. 

In particular, when III-9 was explaining the attraction, the stilted building squeaked and the door to the building opened. Wu Laoliu walked down with a gloomy expression while carrying a bamboo dustpan and broom, as if he was about to clean the animal coop. At this moment, everyone felt their hearts quicken with nervousness. Wang Pengpai and the few others quickly carried their backpacks and were prepared to run out of the animal coop. Compared with the babies, Wu Laoliu was undoubtedly a stronger monster.

They didn’t want to annoy Wu Laoliu at all.

But what no one expected was that when Wu Laoliu saw III-9, from his saggy lower jaw, a cold snort was emitted. Afterwards, he turned back to reenter the house!

God bless! 

Although they don’t know how Guide III did it, it bought them valuable time. Even Wang Pengpai subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Time was precious. No one knew when Wu Laoliu would come back, so they immediately gathered together to discuss again.

 

“The color of the resentment on the medicine egg is similar to that of the baby’s resentment?”

“Yes.” 

Xu Chen affirmed, “I haven’t seen this color of resentment in any other place except for Baby Bamboo Miao Village.”

“That’s strange.”

Wang Pengpai touched his chin and asked, “Could these two resentments be the same?”

“The same resentment?” 

Yu Hean frowned. “That, that is to say, the medicinal egg is also a missing limb of the baby?”

“That’s not what I mean.”

Xu Chen shook his head and thought, “Brother Wang, you mean…”

“This is just an example. I’m just making a hypothesis.” 

Wang Pengpai said, “If the medicinal egg really represents fetal flesh broth,’ what exactly would be something which corresponds to the fetus?”

“Fetal flesh!”

Yu Hean exclaimed, and immediately covered his mouth. Although the midwives disappeared, the babies were still there, holding the medicinal eggs and wandering outside the animal coop. Several pairs of dark eyes looked towards them quietly. They were as evil and gloomy as if they were ghosts, and they had long lost the loveliness a baby would have. However, in the end, the babies didn’t dare to get close to the animal coop. It was safe here for the time being.

Yu Hean immediately lowered his voice and hurriedly spoke. 

“But, but, the baby that was eaten shouldn’t be here……”

Shouldn’t the fetal flesh have come from the ghost baby that was eaten? Where did these babies come from?

“The clan leader in the stockaded village was seriously ill and in urgent need of treatment. It was said that he ate fetal flesh that could prolong his life…… He lied about the fetal flesh and held a big banquet, and invited guests from the nearby stockaded villages around their village in an attempt to suppress the resentment of the fetus with Yang energy……”

Xu Chen muttered to himself, “The ghost attached to the Leader Miao said that the clan leader of the stockaded village wanted to eat fetal flesh to treat his illness, and those who drank the fetal flesh broth died……” 

“The fetus was so small. Do you guys think that there was fetal flesh from other babies at the banquet? Maybe it was the clan leader who ate Pingping’s child, while the others drank broth from the flesh of other babies? I saw several other graves when I looked at the fetal flesh grave.”

“But if there was fetal flesh from other babies, the clan leader wouldn’t have to commit a sin and eat his own daughter’s child.”

 

Wang Pengpai said, “His daughter’s child may have been special.”

“There is another problem.” 

Xu Chen frowned and said, “The ghost babies and human babies are different choices. This means that choosing these two options should have an opposing result.”

“If both the ghost babies and human babies on our side were eaten as fetal flesh, they shouldn’t have an antagonistic relationship. They should hate people who ate them instead.”

As Yu Hean listened to what was discussed, his mind was in a mess. After listening for a long time, he simply took a stick and drew a diagram on the ground.

Ghost baby (fetal flesh)—Clan leader—Villagers + visitors (?) 

Human baby (fetal flesh)—Villagers + visitors

The former had a grudge against the latter.

“The group of rotten corpses in Little Dragon Farmstead should be the villagers of Cordoned-off Village.”

Yu Hean said uncertainly, “The rotten corpses were from the first scenic spot. They wouldn’t travel to the second scenic spot, right?” 

“The story told by the ghost possessing Miao Fangfei must be related to this scenic spot.”

Zhao Hongtu could barely lift his spirits to grab the stick from Yu Hean and draw a circle around the words Yu Hean wrote.

“The words that you wrote on top are related to the ghost babies. What you are writing below is the situation on our side.”

The tour group was divided, and the monsters they faced would naturally be different. Without thinking about the ghost baby, Pingping, and the clan leader, the rest of the clues could be connected, and everyone’s mind was clear regarding the current predicament. 

“Why do the babies want to drink the fetal flesh broth?”

Xu Chen said, “They want to find their missing limbs and reincarnate as a whole?”

“Brother Wang said that the ghost babies are in opposition to the babies.”

Yu Hean drew lines randomly with the stick on the ground and muttered to himself, “The human babies want to drink fetal flesh broth, and they stand in opposition to the ghost babies. The human babies want to drink fetal flesh broth, and they stand in opposition to the ghost babies……hiss!” 

His eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked up and spoke hurriedly, “Is, is it those visiting villagers——Zhao, Zhao Hongtu, where are you going?”

“Fetal flesh broth, fetal flesh broth.”

 

Yu Hean’s exclamation made everyone subconsciously look at Zhao Hongtu and their hearts shuddered. While their attention had been diverted, Zhao Hongtu had walked to the edge of the animal coop.

“Hongtu, what are you doing!” Wang Pengpai roared and directly grabbed Zhao Hongtu. However, Zhao Hongtu, who was caught, struggled desperately, covering his pained stomach as he sweated and his muscles spasmed. “I want to drink fetal flesh broth, I want to drink fetal flesh broth!” 

“He is trapped in a ghost illusion!”

Wang Pengpai clamped Zhao Hongtu under his arm, swiped a knife across his finger, and pressed the blood on Zhao Hongtu’s forehead. This immediately burned Zhao Hongtu, and he let out a painful wail. On the other side, Xu Chen quickly covered Zhao Hongtu’s mouth. For a while, Zhao Hongtu struggled like a fish out of the water and called out in pain, and the sound of it caused everyone’s heart to jump. Then, the green veins on his forehead bulged out and his originally confused eyes gradually recovered their clarity.

“You’re awake. How are you now?”

Zhao Hongtu gasped and nodded hard. He shook his head slightly, and Xu Chen withdrew his hands, and gave Wang Pengpai a worried look. 

Sure enough, the Travel Services wouldn’t give them an easy time. Zhao Hongtu was bewitched by his desire for fetal flesh broth just now. As long as they didn’t take out the things in their stomachs, they couldn’t completely return to normal. Now, with the combined efforts of Wang Pengpai and the others, they were able to wake him up in time, but it could be imagined that with the passage of time, Xu Chen and Yu Hean would soon face this problem.

Then they would all be wiped out!

Zhao Hongtu also understood that. He recalled that he was in a trance just now and had completely lost his mind because of his desire for fetal flesh broth. He was soaked in cold sweat. And he knew that this desire had only been temporarily suppressed. It was still hidden in the deepest part of his body and would soon make a comeback in a more extreme manner.

This couldn’t go on. 

It couldn’t, it couldn’t happen again——

Zhao Hongtu clenched his teeth, grabbed Wang Pengpai’s hand, and said, “Bow, my, bow……”

“Calm down, let’s calm down. The situation is not that bad.”

Wang Pengpai comforted Zhao Hongtu and grabbed his bow, passing it to him as he kept an eye on Zhao Hongtu. Seeing that his hands were trembling and he was shaking a bottle of medicine in his hand to knock a pill out, Xu Chen and the others were relieved. 

There was indeed a type of space pockets that could store special items like weapons and props bought from the Travel Services.

Zhao Hongtu swallowed an intermediate blood tonic, which was the most expensive medicine on him. Props basically didn’t work on Intoxicating Xiangxi tours. Zhao Hongtu could only pray that his luck was good and the prop he drank worked.

When a warm current poured into his belly, Zhao Hongtu also recovered some strength. His hand stroked his bulging stomach for a long time, as if he was looking for something. A moment later, Zhao Hongtu took a deep breath. While Wang Pengpai and the others continued their discussion, Zhao Hongtu’s eyes lit up.

He clenched his teeth, turning his bow upside down, and unhesitatingly stabbed the sharp bow arm into his lower abdomen! 

“Ow!”

Zhao Hongtu’s face turned pale and he suddenly pulled out his bow. Blood splattered out, and the tip of the bow’s arm had dragged out a small bluish-gray hand from his abdomen!
