Chapter 183 Suspicious Points Regarding Fang Xu's Life

Shi Qian returned to Fang Xu's side and sat down, waiting for dawn.

Now that we've found the Shadow Sand Pool, exploring other things in this area isn't so important anymore.

However, what puzzled Shi Qian was...

Why did I have such a strong emotional reaction at dusk within the dimension before officially meeting the native beings of the dimension?

His mind was filled with violent, murderous, and bloody emotions.

He initially thought it was the sandy soil that was causing the problem.

After all, it was said in Carter's past that this place was the gathering place of all resentment.

But after they came in, none of them seemed to be affected at all.

Moreover, the bad moods I used to need peppermint water to suppress disappeared after I arrived here...

This puzzled Shi Qian; it was just too strange.

How could something that consistently led to war simply disappear...?

But Shi Qian was genuinely unsure about the origin of this item.

To be honest, Shi Qian is now even starting to suspect that it is Carter, who is standing next to him.

It wasn't entirely without reason that it was pointed out, but if you had to give a reason, it's actually a bit far-fetched...

One of them is "the burial of the wicked".

The reaction of this group of Fangxu beings was a bit too much. He didn't say a word when he saw Lingjiuxu. Logically, he should know Lingjiuxu, but he didn't say anything.

He only spoke out twice in total. The first time was because of the crystal, but that thing was probably just a hint to him and to broaden his horizons. He also explained the usage of "The Past Beyond Time" by chance.

After all, that book was closely related to him, so it wasn't surprising that he gave him a hint. Moreover, after speaking, he immediately muted his microphone.

Unlike when he encountered Fangxu Life, he didn't reveal a lot of information...

This doesn't quite fit the character of Lian E...

Although I didn't contact him often, and his presence was somewhat like that of an "old man" in an old fantasy novel, that conversation was indeed a bit strange.

The spirit of the clown talked about the structure of life in the Fangxu, what its food sources were, and even mentioned the previous incident. Finally, it used the phrase "times have changed".

Shi Qian didn't think much of it at the time, assuming that Lian E was just surprised and touched to see an acquaintance.

but...

Based on that prophecy, Shi Qian felt like his brain was about to explode.

Who is Lian'e?

A villager suffering from disaster, and also the team leader.

What do the villagers in the disaster area do?

War, plunder, burning, killing and looting.

When Doppelganger No. 1 was chatting with the Enemy, he asked him how he became the captain.

The answer I received at the time seemed to be that several villages had been plundered, and there was some kind of rating system involved, but I won't go into details here.

Is it really that good to be able to mingle with this kind of creature?

Moreover, when Shi Qian first encountered the other two types of people in the oasis, he called out to Lian E, but Lian E did not appear to answer his questions.

Why is it that they are relatively enthusiastic when they encounter Fangxu Life?

Secondly, it was the first time I visited Fangxu's home at night, in that empty, underground level.

In that empty space, the radar did detect signs of life.

Since the underground was all brick, he just crawled through. The group of people were surrounding a large machine.

That must be where they convert energy, because Shi Qian saw them putting severed limbs into that machine.

I didn't stay long at the time, initially thinking they were just dealing with corpses, only to later find out that it was their food source.

but...

Why use this as a reason?

The reason is that they also threw blocks into the machine...

And it's a mineral.

Although it's unknown where the surrounding mines are completely untouched, or where anyone goes to mine, and where their ore comes from, it is ore...

Combining this with the device that Carter carried on his back when I took him to the edge of the sand biome a couple of days ago, which could analyze the energy within the blocks.

Does that mean they can extract energy from the blocks for their own use?

In a typical tech tree development, the progression usually starts from inanimate to animate.

However, what Fangxu Life was talking about at the time, which seems to have been promoted from the very beginning, was the transformation of life energy.

The other two races didn't have any tech trees, so naturally they couldn't modify those energy converters to consume blocks.

Only the Fangxu Lifeforms themselves are using those machines that convert cube energy.

On this point, they are completely secretive.

Transforming ores is clearly much better than transforming organisms, but they still rely on the other two races to consume population.

The idea of ​​war was also proposed by them, but in the battles that Shi Qian observed, the Fangxu beings took away far fewer corpses than the other two races...

Thirdly, Fang Xu's attitude towards life itself...

Some were too friendly, too respectful.

This wasn't even the kind of friendliness that Zero Nine and Hibiscus shared.

Instead, they firmly believed in something, and that they knew that it was something they absolutely needed to do.

That's how it was from the very first moment we met.

They used the formal "you" repeatedly and tried their best to steer the conversation towards prophecy...

However, the prophecy should be true, at least the reactions of the other two tribes don't seem fake.

And these past few days, whenever I've gone there, I've been treated to a very grand reception...

To reiterate, Shi Qian would never trust anyone to trust outsiders who are not of his own race.

He had been on guard for the past few days, but hadn't noticed anything wrong.

But it is precisely because there is no problem that the problem seems even bigger.

Before arriving at the sandy soil system, Shi Qian had not brought them any real benefits.

Aside from clearing land and planting barley, which showed them that they were making some effort, Shi Qian hadn't given them anything else.

No one expressed any dissatisfaction with him; they were always very respectful...

Shi Qian truly didn't understand their actions, because at that time even he himself wasn't sure if he could be considered a savior.

Despite the numerous suspicious points, Shi Qian still couldn't figure it out and didn't intend to directly include them among the suspects.

Because of "motivation".

He couldn't understand what Fangxu Life's motives were, let alone how they managed to control their emotions.

I don't know why this dimension, which was originally a farming-themed story, suddenly turned into a puzzle-solving style.

However, from the very beginning, he never fully believed the history as told by Carter.

after all...

The two fish next door don't have the same mouth size, so it's impossible for this dimension to tell all the truth about the past.

I just don't know how much of the truth in those past accounts is...

Shi Qian shifted to a more comfortable position and waited until the sky began to lighten and the horizon turned a pale white.
