C122 Disappearance.

After everyone finished their lunch, they immediately set out for the Origin Village.

On the way, Zhang Ping asked curiously, "Zhu Zhu, you didn't seem to be surprised at all that we came here to hunt the Mourning Bird. Could it be that someone else came here before?"

"Yes, there has always been such a legend in our village. Every time the Mourning Bird appears, a warrior will come to kill it. It is said that my grandfather had also met a warrior who hunted the Mourning Bird before." Zhu Zhu nodded.

Zhang Ping felt that something was amiss after hearing that. Why would there be a warrior every time the Mourning Bird appeared?

Could it be that it was a misunderstanding?

For example, it was because a warrior came to hunt the Mourning Bird that the Mourning Bird appeared!

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Ping felt that something was amiss. Could it be that in order to test them, some mysterious power had released the Mourning Bird?

"Old Mr. Situ, could it be that every special scene's mission is the same?" Zhang Ping thought for a moment and asked.

Situ Shibai replied, "Yes, every special scene's mission is a fixed mission. When I came here, I was also hunting the Mourning Bird, but there was no Origin Village at that time."

"Wait, what's going on with the Origin Village?" Zhang Ping asked in surprise.

Situ Shibai thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe some people entered the rainforest after me, and then... they simply settled down here."

"Then the people in the Origin Village should also have Awakened?" Zhang Ping asked doubtfully.

Situ Shibai did not answer, because he did not know the answer to this question either.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the Origin Village.

The houses in the Origin Village were all still standing on the trees. After generations of expansion, they had already become a large cluster of buildings that were connected together. It looked like a bunch of mushrooms growing on the trunk of a giant tree.

"Zhu Zhu, which room does the Mourning Bird live in?"

Looking at the densely packed houses on the tree, Zhang Ping asked.

Zhu Zhu pointed to the house closest to the edge and Zhang Ping and the others all looked over, but they did not see the Mourning Bird.

"I'll go up and take a look first."

Zhang Ping thought for a moment and said.

However, Lu Han objected, "Wait, let me do it."

There were only two of them present who could fly, so they could quietly go up.

Lu Han knew how important Zhang Ping was, so he naturally would not allow Zhang Ping to take the risk. Even if he had to die, it should be him who died first.

After saying that, he did not give Zhang Ping the chance to object and directly flew towards the house where the Mourning Bird lived on his flying sword.

"Ahhh!"

After about half a minute, a sharp cry suddenly came from the house.

Apart from Zhang Ping, everyone was holding their heads in pain. Zhang Ping quickly put the small Theron into the Repository Contract, and then flew towards the tree tower with the Nether Fog wrapped around him.

When he came up, he saw Lu Han rolling on the ground, and a woman was opening her arms and letting out a sharp cry.

There was another face under the woman's face. The two faces overlapped, but one was young and the other was old.

Zhang Ping quickly circled behind it and slashed its neck with his knife. The scream immediately stopped.

"Huff … Huff …"

After surviving the disaster, Lu Han was drenched in sweat. He laid on the ground and gasped for breath.

Zhang Ping went forward and asked, "Senior Lu Han, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. That sound was not an attack of sound but a mental attack. I'll be fine after resting for a while." Lu Han replied.

Zhang Ping was surprised, "So this is a mental attack!"

"Zhang Ping, although your main attribute is mental, don't you have physical strength? How come your mental defense is higher than mine?" Lu Han asked in surprise.

Zhang Ping laughed, "I guess my nerves are more brawny."

Actually, after purifying countless undead, his mental toughness had already reached a level that was inhuman.

He was probably immune to all mental attacks under the King Level.

Although he had just defeated the Mourning Bird, it was not because the Mourning Bird was too weak, but because he was too strong.

Furthermore, his mental strength was more 'valuable' than before.

If his mental strength could be quantified, then he could use one point of mental strength as ten points of flower. This was equivalent to ten times his mental strength.

"Forget it. Since we have already hunted the Mourning Bird, let's go back." Seeing that Zhang Ping was unwilling to say anything, Lu Han did not force him. He looked at the unconscious Mourning Bird and stood up with difficulty.

"Alright!"

Zhang Ping was also worried about the others below, so he agreed and grabbed the Mourning Bird and flew out of the room.

After getting off the tree, he placed the Mourning Bird on the ground. Seeing that everyone had gotten up from the ground and leaned against the tree to rest, he went up and asked with concern, "Are you all alright?"

"It feels like I was drunk." Bai De rubbed his temples and replied.

Chung Xuejie replied miserably, "I feel like my brain was hit by a big iron hammer more than ten times."

"My feeling is like someone had poked my head with a small needle a lot." Feng Laixian said in surprise when she saw everyone's different feelings.

Liu Sishan's face was slightly pale as she said calmly, "This is a mental attack. Because everyone's mental strength is different, their feelings are also different."

"This little guy is the most miserable." Zhang Shouzhong looked at Zhu Zhu.

Only then did Zhang Ping realize that Zhu Zhu was still unconscious and was still leaning against the tree.

"Then you guys rest first. I'll go see if there are any other survivors in the village." Zhang Ping thought of the villagers in Origin Village and said.

Liu Sishan stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Is there a problem?" Zhang Ping asked with concern.

Liu Sishan nodded and said, "Yes, my mental defense is quite high. I'll be fine after a while."

"Then let's go." Zhang Ping laughed.

This time, the two of them climbed up the tree tower using the rope ladder.

They checked the rooms one by one. Some of the rooms had dried corpses, while some of the rooms were empty. After the inspection, the two of them frowned.

"There is no survivor at all. This Mourning Bird really deserves to die." Zhang Ping said angrily.

Liu Sishan was a little puzzled. "Did you notice that the deceased here are all males, with only a few females and no children?"

"That's right. It can't be that Zhu Zhu is the only child in the entire Origin Village." Zhang Ping reacted and realized that something was wrong after thinking about it.

He thought about it and guessed, "Could it be that Zhu Zhu sensed the Mourning Bird and ran away?"

"It's hard to say. Let's take a look again." Liu Sishan said, but it was obvious that she did not approve of Zhang Ping's guess.

Zhang Ping also felt that he had thought too much about it. With so many people running away, the Mourning Bird would definitely chase after them, so the possibility of it running away was very low.

The two of them walked around a few more times and were sure that at least half of the people were not here.

The traces of their lives could not be faked.

Liu Sishan walked out of the house and said lightly, "When Zhu Zhu wakes up, maybe she can find out something. Let's go."

"Yes."

Zhang Ping nodded his head with a heavy heart.

He really hoped that those missing people were still alive, but from the current situation, those missing people were probably in a very bad situation.

Down to the ground, Zhang Ping directly used the appraisal on the Mourning Bird, obtaining all kinds of information about the Mourning Bird.

He didn't expect that this Mourning Bird was actually a male!
