Chapter 239: The Corpse Picker

Xia Yu followed the village chief to the mill in Heishi Village, and in the open space outside the mill, a slightly decomposed corpse lay there, covered with a linen shroud, emitting the smell of corpses.

"It's this corpse, you have to bury it quickly, it will stink if you put it down, and the corpse of the stranger on the fire, when the fire is extinguished, you must send it all away, it must be done before dark, I don't want to see the corpse in the village at night."

"Willing to serve the village elder for you." Xia Yu took off his hat and saluted.

Although the skill of being a weirdo is not easy to be suspected by the villagers, Xia Yu still feels that there is nothing wrong with being careful, after all, it is a full set of acting, and it is always right to have a good relationship with the village chief.

"But I'll have to go back and get some tools before I can get to work."

"Of course, that's up to you."

After saying goodbye to the village chief, Xia Yu walked towards the place where he lived.

Turn on the watch in your hand, call up the game map, the location of the residence has been marked on the map, it turned out to be near the cemetery outside the village, the cemetery is not far from the village, surrounded by a thorn bush, the stone monuments and crosses tell the history of the black stone village, the scale of the black stone village is not large, but the cemetery is not small, just look at the number of tombstones, the corpses buried here are afraid that there must be more than a hundred people.

Xia Yu's residence is in a small stone house at the end of the cemetery, I don't know if it's because of the bad weather, or for some other reason, the whole cemetery looks gloomy, the messy grass is filled with a faint mist, the afternoon sun shines through the fog, revealing a gloomy feeling, a very ominous atmosphere, but walking in this gloomy cemetery, Xia Yu not only did not feel uneasy, but also gave birth to an inexplicable feeling of ease.

It wasn't until he walked to the door of the stone house that Xia Yu realized that it should be because he was a vampire.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Yu seized the time to move his body, jumped, trotted, and even came to a flying kick, and gradually mastered the attributes of this body, the physical fitness of vampires is obviously much stronger than ordinary people, the movements are extremely light, and the speed is even more amazing, but it is not strong enough to be unparalleled ordinary people.

Xia Yu felt that this was mostly because of the daytime, the sun shining on his body would not burn him to ashes, but there would be a feeling of weakness, wait until the evening to transform and try again, as for now, it is still important to work.

Xia Yu pushed open the door of the stone house, and the furnishings in the room were very simple, a coffin, a grave digging shovel, a wooden bed, a wheelbarrow, and a bunch of processed wooden boards, some scattered household items, it seems that he, the gravedigger, is still working part-time to make coffins.

Xia Yu pushed the cart, put a roll of shroud on it, and walked towards the village, when he came to the square, the players had already dispersed, he wrapped the charred corpse in a shroud, and put it on the wheelbarrow, and then went to the mill to load the body of old Jack, and then pushed the wheelbarrow all the way back to the cemetery.

The next thing is to dig a pit, this job is not as simple as Xia Yu imagined, the tomb must be dug very deep, at least two meters, the scarlet valley is full of beasts, if it is buried shallowly, it is easy to be dug out by wild beasts, and when the time comes, it will be ugly to make the ground full of bones.

Two meters long, one meter five wide, and two meters deep, it really takes a little time for such two big pits.

Xia Yu picked up the production and began to dig it, the first pit was dug to the general, and the direction of the entrance to the cemetery sounded a slight footstep, Xia Yu looked up vigilantly, it was a black cat.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yu was vigilant in his heart, but a friendly smile appeared on his face.

The black cat said: "I heard that there is a body of the victim here, so come and take a look, I think there may be some clues from the corpse." ”

Xia Yuxin said that this black cat is really professional, and everything has to be investigated.

He pointed to Old Jack's corpse, "It's over there, see for yourself." ”

The black cat went over to check it out, and suddenly exclaimed—"Huh! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Come on, I've found some clues." Xia Yuxin said that there was something beautiful about the corpse, but he still climbed out of the pit, looked in the direction of the black cat's finger, and there was a huge bite mark on Old Jack's neck, and a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off, and the blood was very disgusting.

This black cat was really bold, and there was no fear at all, and it kept pulling old Jack's wound with a dead branch.

Xia Yu said: "It looks like it was bitten by some kind of beast." ”

The black cat shook his head: "It's not a beast, if it's a beast, it will definitely eat the corpse, at least part of it, I think it should be a werewolf, the village said that Old Jack was killed two days ago, do you know what that means?" ”

Xia Yu's heart moved, and he also reacted, the players only entered the game today, and this corpse died two days ago, that is to say, in addition to the player's three dark creatures in the village, it is likely that there are other dark creatures, and most of them seem to be werewolves.

"You're saying there are dark creatures in NPCs, too?"

"Yes, since there are NPC villagers, it is not impossible to have NPC dark creatures, of course, it is also possible that the background setting is bitten to death by the dark creatures played by the player, if that's the case, it means that there is a werewolf in the player, in short, I think it's worth investigating, if there are really werewolves in the village, there will definitely be some clues."

After saying that, the black cat left in a hurry.

Xia Yu looked at the back of the black cat leaving and touched his chin, no, this girl can't stay, it's a scourge to investigate like this sooner or later, sorry black cat, you have to die too.

But there's no need to rush it for the time being, let's see what she can investigate first.

Xia Yu thought, turned around and continued to dig a pit.

It took an hour to dig a hole.

Xia Yu found a few wooden planks from the stone house, clanked and knocked them, and soon knocked out a simple coffin, threw Old Jack's body into it, and didn't forget to use the skill of 'picking up corpses' on Old Jack's corpse before nailing the lid.

System Prompt: You've got stinking boots.

【Stinky Boots (Equipment)

Item description: A pair of cowhide boots, well-made, but for some reason, contaminated with the smell of corpses, disgusting. 】

Garbage, although it can be worn, there is no need to be so picky as a gravedigger, but Xia Yu feels that he has not fallen to that extent, so go back and give it to the villagers to add favor.

Then Xia Yu used the 'corpse picking' skill on the corpse of the stranger.

System Prompt: You have been awarded a Black Gem.

【Black Jewel (Material)

Item description: The black gem produced in Blackstone Village, this gem is in excellent condition and is a rare treasure. 】

This gem should have been hidden by the stranger before his death, it was the size of a pigeon's egg, dark and faint, it looked quite good, it was good, but it was useless, and there was no way to bring it back to reality, but it could be sold for some money, but it didn't seem to be worth much money in this village, so let's keep it for now.

Xia Yu put the gem in his pocket, and said in his heart that this corpse picker's skill is really easy to use, and there will only be more and more dead people in the village in the future, maybe when he will be able to touch something good.

He dug another pit for the stranger, nailed a coffin to the same coffin, threw the body into it, nailed it to the lid, and buried it in the pit of earth.

The two bodies were quickly buried.

Xia Yu leveled the ground and made a simple tombstone with two wooden boards, one writing [Poor Old Jack's Tomb] and the other [Tomb of a Despicable Outlander].

With all that done, today's work is done.

Xia Yu instinctively wiped his sweat, but found that there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead, this vampire's physical strength is really strong, after working for so long, he is not tired at all, and he is still full of vitality.

The only problem is that my stomach seems to be a little hungry.

Xia Yu wondered if the vampire could eat, and when he returned to the stone house, he opened the mysterious coffin.

The things inside made Xia Yu a little speechless, a large number of copper coins of different denominations, a small number of silver coins, some old jewelry that was very cheap at first glance, some shabby clothes, and even some of them were stained with dried blood, and several old money bags, all of which were shriveled, it seemed that these were all picked up by picking up corpses in the past.

Xia Yu swept aside all the useless coins, and only picked out the coins, a total of thirteen silver coins and 74 copper coins.

Looking at these money, Xia Yu was interested, just took it to buy some food, and got two weapons, although the vampire has strong combat power, but he can't transform during the day, he still has to have a weapon for self-defense, the prodigal son is right, who said that dark creatures must wait until night to start, and if there is a good opportunity during the day, they can also start.

And getting two weapons can also confuse other players, otherwise it would be suspicious not to even use weapons.

Xia Yu came to the village, went to the tavern first, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Ye serving food to two miners with a plate, this woman's profession turned out to be a waitress, I don't know what to think.

Xia Yu said hello to Bai Ye and bought a piece of black bread and a bottle of wine.

Then he went to the blacksmith's shop, where the blacksmith turned out to be a dragoon, wielding a hammer and striking a two-handed heavy sword that was about to take shape.

"Hey, Dragoon, you're a blacksmith by profession?"

Dragoon said proudly, "Yes, the blacksmith profession comes with forging skills, which can be used to build equipment, hehe, how about it, do you need my help?" For the sake of past friendships, I can give you a 20% discount. ”

Xia Yu nodded, "Okay, I want two daggers, a little longer, and they are made of steel, how much does it cost?" ”

"Ten silver coins, for the sake of your friends, you just give eight."
