Soon, the underground world was dark again.

Lin Yi and his party arrived at the wooden house where the sacrifice was held before the moss completely dimmed.

The wooden house was located in the most remote corner of the village. Although it was remote, to reach it, one had to pass through the village and many households.

In a sense, this was also a line of defense set up by the villagers to guard the sacrifice.

Once someone continued to move forward, the people in the village would definitely notice it.

Not only that, there were villagers guarding outside the wooden house, which Zhu Lai also told Lin Yi and his party in advance.

Zhang Cheng originally wanted to try the effect of moss making people sleepy and knock out the villagers guarding the wooden house.

However, Zhu Lai told them not to worry, because at night, these villagers would leave on their own because of the preparations before the sacrifice.

This was something Lin Yi and his party had not expected. Obviously, sacrifice was an extremely important thing for the village, but the people guarding the sacrifice would leave the night before the sacrifice.

This behavior was really unreasonable, which made Zhang Cheng very curious.

However, as long as it did not affect their plan, it would be fine.

"The lock on the door is completely different from the locks I've touched before." Zhou Kai touched the lock hanging on the wooden door.

The heavy lock felt like the old Citibank lock.

"Can it be opened?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.

Zhou Kai fumbled and put the copper wire prepared in advance into the keyhole, and used the enhanced hearing to feel it for a while, and then answered: "No big problem."

"Compared with the lock on the anti-theft door, this lock is much simpler to open, but I have to get familiar with it a little bit."

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

While Zhou Kai was unlocking the door, Lin Yi used Zhou Kai's ability to carefully feel the movements around him.

Just like before, the people in the village came out.

They walked slowly, and stood there after a while.

Lin Yi couldn't figure out what this motionless way had to do with the preparations before the sacrifice.

Moreover, this time, because he was outside the house, Lin Yi seemed to hear some other sounds.

The sound was very small, like a bug crawling slowly on the ground, digging up the soil, and then drilling in.

With a light "click", Zhou Kai opened the lock.

"You are really good." Zhang Cheng reached out to pat Zhou Kai's shoulder to show encouragement, but because he couldn't see, he patted Lin Yi's face.

There were many breathing and heartbeat sounds in the wooden house, which Lin Yi and his team had confirmed before.

It was because of the sounds in the wooden house that they believed that someone was locked up inside.

But after the wooden door was opened, the people inside remained motionless.

Maybe because they couldn't see, they didn't know that the door was open.

So Lin Yi whispered: "Run, you are free."

The people in the wooden house still didn't move, and the only response to Lin Yi was the breathing and heartbeat he heard.

They seemed to have not heard Lin Yi speak, which made Lin Yi feel strange for a moment.

"Don't shout, they won't pay attention to you." Zhu Lai on the side spoke.

"Why?" Lin Yi frowned, thinking, in order to prevent these sacrifices from making noise, the village poisoned and deafened these people?

"It's the parasites that are causing the trouble, right?" Zhang Cheng seemed to have expected it and whispered.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lin Yi understood immediately.

These people ate the fruits given to them by the villagers, and the parasites went down their throats and lived in their bodies.

So, these people are not deaf, but they are too lazy to pay attention.

The hormones secreted by the parasites make them lazy, so even if they are locked up here, they have remained quiet and stayed in the wooden house without moving.

"Yes." Zhu Lai replied.

"If I'm not mistaken, these people should be hopeless, right?" Zhang Cheng continued to ask.

So far, Lin Yi and his friends have not found a way to get rid of the parasites in their bodies, and in this world full of aliens, if they want to use medical means, they have to go to the ranch where aliens are raised.

So, no matter what they do, the result of these people is death.

Zhu Lai did not speak, but his silence was the best answer.

"Then what can you do to make them run away?" Zhou Kai didn't care about these people, and he had no obligation to care about them. At this moment, he just wanted to ensure that the plan went smoothly, and he could leave here and return to Zhou Yun.

"Don't worry, I've been prepared."

Before coming here, Zhu Lai deliberately carried a wooden basket full of egg fruits.

Lin Yi heard a noise, and Zhu Lai poured out all the egg fruits in the wooden basket.

With a "pop", one of the egg fruits seemed to be crushed by Zhu Lai.

The unique smell of egg fruit spread, and the people in the wooden house smelled it and moved instantly.

"It's okay." After hearing the sound in the wooden house, Zhu Lai hurriedly said, "Quickly retreat and make way."

Nothing can be seen in the dark, but from the sound heard, it is not difficult to guess that these people are starting to fight for the egg fruit on the ground.

They groped the ground randomly based on the smell they smelled, and they didn't care whether they touched egg fruits or not, they just grabbed them and bit them.

In this dark environment, Lin Yi soon smelled a faint smell of blood.

People who are parasitized by parasites will eventually only retain their appetite.

The egg fruit stimulated their appetite, turning them from their original laziness to their current greed and madness for things.

"Want to eat?" Zhu Lai's voice sounded from the darkness, with a hint of hatred in his tone.

"Go outside, eat as much as you want. There is still a lot of food outside, all yours, eat whatever you want."

"Go, go eat, eat everything you see and those who stop you!"

Zhu Lai's words were like the whispers of a demon in the middle of the night, luring ignorant people into the abyss.

The noise became louder and louder, and the appetite of the prisoners was stimulated. After eating the egg fruit, they began to run out of the wooden house.

They ran very fast, but because they couldn't see anything, Lin Yi heard a series of noises, as if someone fell down the stairs.

However, they seemed to feel no pain, and Lin Yi never heard the wailing of pain, even when fighting for food.

At this moment, they only had one word in their minds - eat.

The noise quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. The villagers who were standing still began to move. There was a fire in the distance. The villagers holding torches found the sacrifices that had escaped.

"Oh no! Something happened in the house where the sacrifices were kept!"

Some villagers noticed that something was wrong and shouted to others.

The guards reacted immediately and rushed to the wooden house.

"Let's go, we should go to the underground palace." Zhu Lai turned his head to look at the location of the underground palace, and the determination in his eyes emerged again, as if he was going to do something earth-shattering.
