Chapter 5 I'm such a good person
Ding Yi was overjoyed at this moment, because once a way to extend lifespan was found, the usability of this enhancement system would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
But now was clearly not the time to study this. Ding Yi gritted his teeth, held up the lamp, and continued walking forward.
Although those things called Shadow Turtle could no longer harm Ding Yi, he still felt cold all over, and his blood seemed to be congealing. Clearly, his body was too weak, which forced him to give up the idea of continuing to collect lifespan.
Soon, Ding Yi arrived at the window, picked up the broken wooden plank from the ground, placed it on the plank, and stared intently at the window. When he saw the prompt that it could be strengthened, he immediately chose to strengthen it.
The next moment, the previously empty window was instantly covered by a thick wooden board, and the buzzing noise inside the room was instantly cleared, returning to normal.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Looking at the scene before him, Ding Yi let out a heavy sigh of relief, then plopped down on the ground as a strong sense of fear washed over him.
If I hadn't reacted quickly, the whole village could have had a feast tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he looked at the old woman who was pinned to the wall by arrows, and was horrified to find that the old woman had become skin and bones, and all the flesh and blood in her body had dried up, like a dried corpse that had been dried for decades.
"My grass!"
Startled, Ding Yi jumped up again and couldn't help but back away.
"No wonder the blood in my body had started to congeal just now. If it weren't for the protection of the oil lamp, I'm afraid I would be in the same situation as that old woman."
Thinking of this, Ding Yi couldn't help but look at the lamp in his hand, and then carefully placed it on the table.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi nervously walked to the window, listened to the sounds outside through the wall, and after finding nothing unusual, carefully sat back down at the table.
"Damn it, what kind of place is this? It's too dangerous, too dangerous!"
At this moment, Ding Yi felt a little panicked. Then, he remembered something and quickly got up and walked towards his small room.
Arriving at the door of the small room, Ding Yi stuck his head out and looked down into the pit. He saw that Old Man Wei's eyes were wide open, and his body was lying in the pit in a strange position. Several sharp wooden splinters had pierced through his chest and pinned him firmly to the ground.
"vomit!"
Ding Yi was instantly nauseated by the disgusting scene, and a wave of dizziness washed over him. He instinctively grabbed the door frame to avoid falling to the ground.
Those who frequently commit murder in front of the screen must know that during the first act of passion, the brain releases dopamine, putting the person in an excited state and thus avoiding the fear of death.
But once this hormone level drops, the person will fall into a state of panic.
Before his transmigration, Ding Yi was just an ordinary young man who had never seen such a scene up close. He was immediately deprived of oxygen and felt as if all his strength had been drained away, as if he had ascended to heaven.
After a while, Ding Yi realized that he had traveled through time. At least in this place, Uncle Hat wouldn't come looking for him. He then calmed down a bit and leaned against the door frame to start thinking about his current situation.
It was obvious that the world was very different from what Ding Yi had imagined.
Not only are the people here very strange, but like Old Man Wei and Old Woman Wei, they also display agility and strength that are inconsistent with their age. This makes Ding Yi wonder if the younger people in this world are stronger and faster?
Most importantly, there are things here that I have never seen before, such as those things that the system called the Shadow Turtle.
All signs indicate that surviving here is not an easy task.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi clenched his fist, and then his gaze became resolute.
"My life is my own. Anyone who wants my life, don't blame me!!"
Ding Yi took a deep breath, then forced himself to look at Old Man Wei in the pit again. After a moment, he turned around and walked toward the old woman's corpse hanging in the living room.
The crossbow was extremely powerful; the last arrow pierced through the old woman's body and still had enough force to penetrate more than half of the earthen wall.
Fortunately, the old woman had been drained of her life essence by the eerie creature, leaving her a dried-up corpse. This allowed Ding Yi to pull her off the wall without much effort.
Despite his intense discomfort, Ding Yi dragged the old woman to the front of his hut and then threw her into the deep pit.
"Now you two can be reunited down there. Ah, I'm such a good person."
Ding Yi clapped his hands after hearing the muffled sounds coming from the pit, and then began to search around the house.
There was nothing of value in Old Wei's house, and more importantly, food was scarce.
Ding Yi did find a clay pot of the black rice porridge he had been fed before in the corner of the kitchen, but he didn't dare to eat it anymore.
However, Ding Yi seemed to have thought of something, and still moved the earthenware pot to the living room, and then continued to search around the house.
A dozen minutes later, Ding Yi sat down at the table in the hall, looked at the items on the table, and began to experiment.
First, there's a small piece of dried meat.
This dried meat, of unknown origin, is now black and has a pungent, foul odor after being dried.
But Ding Yi knew that this kind of dried meat was indeed edible, because he had seen Old Man Wei eat it once in the past few days.
The second thing they found was a picture book.
Ding Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that the picture book depicted some biological illustrations.
This picture book not only marks what things are edible, but also indicates the locations. It is obvious that this picture book was made by Old Man Wei, since the map in the picture book is drawn with Old Man Wei's house as the center and outwards.
The third item was a rusty sickle.
This sickle was probably carried by Old Man Wei when he went out to find food or herbs, but because it was so old, it was covered in rust. Ding Yi was more afraid of its tetanus-inducing properties than its sharpness.
The fourth item was a bluish paste-like substance in a small box.
To Ding Yi's surprise, even though the small box was not opened, he still smelled the fragrance of herbs and guessed that it might be the medicine box that Old Man Wei used to store ointment.
There were some other miscellaneous items, which Ding Yi felt were of little value, so he didn't pay much attention to them. And then came the moment Ding Yi was most looking forward to.
"Let me see what surprises these things can bring me."
Ding Yi muttered to himself, then took the black rice paste into his hand.
[Enhancement can be done by consuming lifespan. This enhancement will consume 28 days of lifespan. Enhance now?]
Seeing the prompt appear on the earthenware pot, Ding Yi silently said "yes" in his mind, and then the earthenware pot in his hand emitted a light.
When the light faded, Ding Yi discovered that the earthenware pot in his hand had changed, and at the same time, a prompt appeared next to the pot.
Black Death Porridge
[The rice porridge, laced with a potent poison, smelled incredibly tempting, making it hard for most people to resist.]
"My grass!"
Ding Yi quickly put the earthenware pot back on the table. He regretted not carving the words "non-toxic" on the pot with his sickle; otherwise, he might have gotten a pot of safe and edible rice porridge.
However, items that have been enhanced cannot be enhanced again. Ding Yi had already tried this, and although he regretted it a little, he didn't dwell on it too much and turned his attention to another line of prompts.
[Enhancement successful, remaining lifespan: 8 years and 11 days]
My lifespan has increased back to 8 years. So, in that short time, I gained several months of lifespan from those eerie shadows.
It has to be said that if his body hadn't been unable to withstand the chilling aura brought by the swarm of eerie shadows, Ding Yi would have thought that simply opening the window at night to extend his lifespan would have been a good idea.
