Everyone's faces turned ugly. There were twelve coffins placed across the main room, which was different from the scene they had seen before leaving. The coffins' placements had shifted as well.
The most terrifying aspect was that the four empty coffins contained corpses!

Lin Xi hurriedly squeezed over, attempting to find a corpse in the coffin he was responsible for. Soon, he was relieved because he found it. Before Lin Xi left, he had been on alert and marked the coffin. As long as he found the coffin, this corpse must be the right one——
Lin Xi's expression suddenly froze. His hands clasping on the coffin slightly trembled. nEGPpB
Why, why did the body in the coffin seem to have changed?
The cinnabar that Lin Xi had personally dabbed on the body, as well as the ribbon that he had personally tied around the corpse, were obviously still in the same place as they had been in his memories. But he just knew that something was amiss with the body!
"Yes, it's resentment."
A low voice, without much confidence, blurted. It was a middle-aged man who had always acted submissively, and he was someone who did not even dare to look at others.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, he shrunk much more, like a mouse hiding in the dark. He stutteringly said:
"Resentment, illusion, something that could bewitch the eyes. We must break free from the illusion."
"Yu Hean used cow tears to view the surroundings. These corpses are covered with a thick layer of black resentment."
Miao Fangfei gravely informed. YZCp6c
[Name: Tears of the old yellow cattle]
[Quality: Special]
[Function: After dropping the tears of cattle into your eyes, you can see another "world"]
[Note: You can't use this as eye drops. If you drop too much into your eyes, you will become an old yellow cattle] pMeIi4
"The power of any prop will be weakened in Intoxicating Xiangxi. Only special props can be used."
Hearing Miao Fangfei mention him, Yu Hean lowered his head and his rough fingers grasped onto his trousers uneasily.
[Reward of old yellow cattle (Blue Title): You once prevented an old yellow cattle from being killed and carefully raised it until it grew old. Good people are rewarded. The soul of the old yellow cattle has come to repay you!]
With this title, Yu Hean could obtain a small bottle of old cattle tears every week. Because of how high quality the prop was, it could be used in Intoxicating Xiangxi tours. 6oyvLk
"To get rid of the illusion caused by resentment, we must find the core of the illusion."
Xu Chen's eyes were tightly knitted, trying to do some ocular gymnastics. But as he tried doing so, he hissed out in pain. Today, he used his eyes too much and saw too much resentment. The resentment in this room was so heavy that he almost lost his sight temporarily. Because of this, the group of people could only ask Yu Hean to confirm the presence of resentment.

"We've got to hurry up and find out which corpses are the real corpses."
Hou Feihu said seriously, "It's going to be twelve o'clock soon. We have to depart at 9 p.m. tonight."
His comments made every tourist feel as if they were submerged in a suffocating ambiance, yet no one experienced an emotional collapse. Everyone realized that they had to remain calm in the face of such adversity. They hadn't completed processing the corpses yet, so they had to find some spare time to do it.
"Five o'clock."
Miao Fangfei set the final time, "Before five o'clock, we need to confirm the corpses."
"Because we were met with such a predicament, we need to work together."
Miao Fangfei's eyes flitted over everyone. She had the spirit of a leader. She solemnly said, "We are grasshoppers on the same rope now. We can only be prosperous together or die together."
Yeah, although what she said was true, it wasn't easy to confirm the corpse. Everyone actually marked their coffins, but now, the problem was that they couldn't confirm whether the corpse in the coffin was the one they handled.
They couldn't get rid of that subtle sense of peculiarity they felt, so everyone was unable to make a decision.
"If we really can't find a solution in time, we can only deal with all twelve corpses and drive them all." 2iLdQ4
They had no other solutions.
"These extra corpses need to be driven too."
After a few rounds of searching, the fat man couldn't find a clue and went to the door to smoke. Xu Chen came to him, sighing.
Yu Hean only had three drops of cow tears left in the bottle. When he ran out of cow tears, the group could only rely on Xu Chen's title [Resentment Perception]. Because Xu Chen had always kept his alert up, he expended a lot of energy. 5gP1dV
"Yes, who doesn't want to leave this place."
The fatty pouted, unwilling to throw the cigarette butt away, as it was held between his lips.
"Maybe that group of evil things had deliberately tried to attract us over."
They were talking about the rotten corpses in the yard. Although Lin Xi and company went over willingly, from the time they were affected by the illusion to when the screams attracted all the tourists over to the yard, no one was guarding the main room. Then, there were suddenly four more corpses in the room. It was impossible to claim that there was no connection between these incidents. 37HiOw
The corpses in the yard had been suffering from the battering of the wind and rain for a long time. They also wanted to leave, to get out.
The only way out was to get rid of the tourists' corpses that were meant to be driven!

"Would you like one?"
The fat man offered Xu Chen a cigarette. Xu Chen said his thanks and took one over. When he took the cigarette, the fat man lit it for him. M28wbH
The nicotine relaxed his taut nerves. Xu Chen seldom smoked and coughed due to the smoke. The fat man patted his back.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
A cigarette that signifies friendship allowed Xu Chen to develop a much better relationship with Wang Pengpai. The fat man was forthright and enthusiastic, causing Xu Chen to trust him subconsciously. Wang Pengpai was hesitating, and as he was being entangled about the matters he was troubled over, Xu Chen subconsciously came to the door side.
"What's on Little Chen's mind?" dhIgsZ
The fat man patted his back, handed him a bottle of water, and said, "I, your brother, likes to nag. Don't be annoyed, Little Chen. As Leader Miao said, we are grasshoppers on the same rope now. We can only hop and die together. If you have any problems, I, your Brother Wang, won't ignore it!"
The fat man patted his chest to ensure the truth of his words. Xu Chen somehow thought he was trustworthy.
He really couldn't take the suffocating feeling he felt in his chest. Other than Fatty, Xu Chen also didn't know who he should confide in.
"If, I mean if, I have a way to find the core of resentment." iHOCve
Xu Chen lowered his voice and uttered hesitantly. But once he had spilled the beans, the more he spilled, the more fluent his utterances were.
"But if I use this, my whole body won't be able to move."
Xu Chen took out something and quickly showed it to Wang Pengpai.
"I won't use it unless someone can help process my corpse and help me out before I recover." LnyxMm
"Darling, you actually have this!"
One could tell that the fatty was experienced and knowledgeable. He almost screamed when he saw what Xu Chen took out.

"This, this this this, do you want to use this?"
The fat man was stuttering. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and his little eyes were wide open. His fat fingers were shaking, appearing like little radishes. He acted as if he saw a cow chewing on a peony. "You, you want to use this?" WPb1LK
"Ah, yes."
Xu Chen was also a bit reluctant to give this up, but he didn't realize the fat man's unusual excitement. "I went to the Travel Services to have this appraised and found that it can even bond and fuse titles… I have two similar titles, one blue and one green, and the title can be advanced once they are bonded together."
[Resentment Perception (Green Title): You are suffering from some type of eye disease, and you can see inexplicable malicious energies. Be careful. People who know more will always be the people who die the fastest~]
[Death Perception (Blue Title): You are suffering from some kind of eye disease, and you can see the air of the dead and the living! Be careful. Perhaps, people with thicker air of the dead may conversely be stronger than others!] dwcPam
"If these two titles are combined, they should become the purple title "Perceiver." Maybe, with this, I could see the source of resentment. Maybe we could even tell which corpses are ours by how thick the resentment of the corpses is."
Xu Chen nervously smiled. "But my actual strength isn't great, and using the first two titles would cause me to have a headache. If I leaped through the levels and used a purple title, I will definitely faint after using it."
"Wait a minute. I'll get Leader Miao. I have to tell her about this."
The fat man said weakly and waved his hand. He tried to hold it in, but he wasn't able to bear it, so he asked, "How did you get this prop?" ICmW93
"Is it precious?"
Xu Chen could also perceive the change in the fat man's attitude. He wasn't afraid, and he generously placed the "double-sided tape" out. "This is what I got when I opened a mystery box from the Travel Services. It was something I got unexpectedly."
If a tourist visited all of the attractions on a tour, he would be rewarded with a "mystery box" at the end of the tour. It may offer a treasure, or it could offer rubbish worthless to the tourist.
No matter what it was, the props from the Travel Services' mystery box couldn't be traded or robbed by someone. Xu Chen was not afraid of the fat man robbing him. This item couldn't be sold anyway. In any case, this item must still be used by him, and he decided that he should use the item when he was required to use it at the most critical time. rZm3 4
"You, me, ah, Little Xu, I, this fat brother, will not hide the truth from you. This thing is very precious, very precious, and it could even bind two purple titles together!"
The fat man became serious and said, "If you have two purple titles, 'Perceiver' and 'Observer,' in the future, you can glue them together. This way, you can even obtain the orange title, 'Heavenly Eye,' temporarily. And that's, that's..."
"Brother Wang sure knows a lot."
Xu Chen sighed, but his expression had gotten calmer, and he shook his head with a smile. "An orange title is something that is far beyond me. Even the purple title is something beyond my abilities. I think I will die before that." lUb0q4
A good prop would only be a good prop when he could use it when he was alive. It was worthless to him when he was dead.
Xu Chen was clear on his abilities. He knew that he might not even survive in the Intoxicating Xiangxi tour. So, how would he dare to think about his future? But the fat man's words stirred Xu Chen's heartstrings.

When they went to look for Miao Fangfei, Xu Chen couldn't help thinking that he had never heard of orange titles. One should know that purple titles were already something mysterious and elusive. Only the bigwig tourists and tour guides at the top of the pyramid could have them.
Xu Chen only heard that the captain of the strongest tour party in the legends seemed to possess a pair of eyes that could see through everything. ArbS1c
Were those the Heavenly Eyes?

[You have observed the resentment of the zombified flying fox commander, resentment level: C class]
[Task progress: 1.75%] z u7AE
"Why do they have to be so stingy? The task progress only grew 0.25%!"
Wei Xun complained as he agilely avoided the attack of the zombified flying fox. At this moment, his eyes closed, and two lines of blood tears slipped down from the corner of his eyes.
Just now, Wei Xun stole a little resentment from the zombified flying fox. He used the same old technique to lead the resentment to his eyes, but he didn't think that his eyes couldn't bear this sort of black resentment!
On the edge of being blind, Wei Xun led the resentment away in time. Before he could figure out how to throw the resentment away, a force bursted out from the front of the two nubs on his forehead to restrain the black resentment and trap it in Wei Xun's forehead. TLkJXG
Although his SAN Value dropped a little, Wei Xun found that he could see it again, as if he had an eye in his forehead. Wei Xun could easily see through how the zombified flying fox was going to attack him and avoided it in advance.
His brain was swelling, like a basin of hot water was splashed on it. If Wei Xun could feel pain, he would have fainted moments ago.
But Wei Xun couldn't feel it. He could even calmy deliberate.
This zombified flying fox was much stronger than the one on the mountain road. Now, because no tourists had lagged behind the tour group, the Tour Guide's Flag was much weaker than it was on the mountain road. Wei Xun reluctantly dealt with the zombified flying fox only by relying on Tour Guide's Flag feature, stating that it wouldn't be damaged. AzSMC5
If it weren't for the previous task given out to him, Wei Xun would have already figured out his escape plan.
It was exciting to battle, but it was also exciting to escape successfully under the strong enemy's pursuit!
But he couldn't!
[Random task: Vengeful zombified flying fox commander] Yf2oGl

[Task description: Heavens, in order to avenge the death of the foxes of the fox clan, the flying fox commander chased you to Little Dragon Farmstead! The most important thing is that it has "that thing"! Please retrieve "Pingping's blood grudge dagger" from it as soon as possible. If you let it stay in Little Dragon Farmstead, your tour group will face the danger of being extinguished!]

[Reward: Pingping's blood grudge dagger]
The deep resentment on the zombified corpse flying fox commander was not its own. Wei Xun could clearly see it. There was a deep red and black resentment on the left side of its abdomen. bxs7i0
That was the spot!
