Chapter 176 Different Eternal Villagers
"Am I not dead?"

Hong Ming examined his body in confusion, then looked at Liu Hen and the others: "What exactly happened before? Liu Hen, am I a human or a ghost now?"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Xiao Heishi, thinking that he should ask this question to him.

Now he has realized that the person in front of him is the real boss, and perhaps only this person knows whether he is a human or a ghost.

Unlike normal eternal villagers, Hong Ming did not need Liu Hen to summon him, he walked out of the campfire by himself.

His memory didn't seem to have been modified either, which was completely different from the situation at the copper mine.

Liu Hen guessed that this should be related to the protection of the will of heaven and earth.

Although the rules of the Journey Village suppressed the protection rules of the will of heaven and earth, judging from the word "conflict", this suppression should not be comprehensive.

Regarding [Resurrection], the rules of the Journey Village should be the main ones.

But Hong Ming's memory was not modified, which should be the interference of the will of heaven and earth.

"You now……"

Xiao Heishi glanced at Hong Ming, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly looked at Liu Hen, as if hesitating whether to say it.

"Is there a problem?"

Liu Hen asked: "There are no outsiders here, you can speak directly."

Little Black Stone then said, "He is a ghost now, but he seems to be a ghost from the Journey Village. There is a transparent chain connecting him to the fire in front of him."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows slightly because he didn't see the so-called chain.

"I... I really turned into a ghost?" Hong Ming couldn't accept it.

Zong Ni, Hu Jinshi and others on the side also looked at Hong Ming in surprise.

"Why does it feel like Lord Hongming is no different from a normal person?" Hu Jinshi asked in a low voice.

Liu Hen looked at Hong Ming and said, "Go outside and see where you can go."

He always felt that Hong Ming was different from the normal Eternal Villagers. Not only was his memory not modified, but there should be differences in other aspects as well.

Anyway, Tong Kun can never be as "intelligent" as Hong Ming. Tong Kun is still hidden by him. Although Tong Kun has his own ideas, he will definitely carry out his words.

Hong Ming was obviously different, his memory remained exactly the same as before.

"Let me try……"

Hong Ming didn't feel any difference from before, nor did he see any chains.

Although he felt that what Xiao Heishi said should be true, he still wanted to verify it personally.

So when he heard Liu Hen's words, he immediately strode towards the village entrance.

Liu Hen hurried to follow.

The others followed curiously.

Soon, Hong Ming arrived at the entrance of the village. He took a step forward and did not encounter any obstacles. He arrived outside the village smoothly.

Liu Hen looked at Xiao Heishi suspiciously.

Little Black Stone shook his head slightly: "The chain is still there."

"Keep moving forward." Liu Hen said.

Hong Ming immediately continued to move forward.

Because Liu Hen followed, the strong wind did not approach them.

The few of them walked forward, getting farther and farther away from the village, and gradually came to the edge of the campfire's radiation range.

The next moment, Hong Ming's whole body shook, as if he was pulled by something and his body was stretched straight.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at the bonfire at the source of the village with an expression of disbelief.

"The chains on him are stretched," said Little Black Stone. "He can only go so far."

"The fire restricted me. I couldn't leave the range of the fire's power." Hong Ming looked grim.

Liu Hen understood that although Hong Ming would not be restricted by the Journey Village and could leave the village, he only had one more permission to leave the village than normal eternal villagers.

The other party will still be restricted, but the restriction is much smaller. They can leave the village, but cannot leave the protection range of the bonfire at the source of the village.

"Are you still able to use your abilities?" he asked.

"Yes." Hong Ming nodded. He was very sure of this. Apart from being restricted within a fixed range, there was no change.

"That's fine."

Liu Hen comforted him, "The radiation range of the bonfire at the source of the village can be continuously expanded as the village is upgraded. You can go further in the future."

"and……"

After a pause, he added, "Don't you dislike walking far? Now, even if I want you to go far, you can't. It's just right for you to lie down and retire in this travel village."

Hong Ming couldn't help but ask, "If I destroy that fire, can I regain my freedom?"

Liu Hen smiled and said, "You are now in a symbiotic state with the bonfire, the source of the village. Theoretically, you cannot die even if you want to. You will be resurrected from the bonfire. If the bonfire is destroyed, you will disappear with it."

Suddenly, Hong Ming showed a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"immortal?!"

Zong Ni and Hu Jinshi were both shocked and felt it was unbelievable.

"You can if you want."

Liu Hen looked at the two with a half-smile. "When someone who has made a contribution to the village dies, their body is transformed by the village's source bonfire. There are two possible outcomes: one is becoming a mindless village guard, and the other is becoming a special villager like Hong Ming. However, Hong Ming's situation is special; he can leave the village, but normal special villagers can't even leave the village."

"Forget it then." Hu Jinshi replied quickly.

Although immortality is attractive, what's the point of being confined to a village forever?
He also wanted to form a caravan and travel around as a caravan of the Travel Village to see the world.

In particular, he was not sure whether his contribution was enough. What if he was unable to become this special villager in the end? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Zong Ni never thought about dying now. She was very satisfied with her current situation.

"By the way, Wu Yuanming, take some people to Qiulong Mountain."

At this time, Liu Hen looked at the Wu brothers and sisters who had followed him and said, "The Dragon-Seeking Temple has been destroyed. You should select a group of people and go to the Dragon-Seeking Mountain to take a look. If you find anything precious, bring it back."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Yuanming answered respectfully, then took his three brothers and sisters to do the work.

This is a rare opportunity. They were like invisible people before, but now they finally have a mission. He decided to do it beautifully.

The earth suits worn by the four of them were upgraded to bronze level by Liu Hen. All four of them had at least 500 kilograms of pure strength and unlimited physical strength.

They are the only ones who can do this kind of odd jobs.

"Just go and do what you are supposed to do."

Liu Hen looked at Hong Ming and the others: "The threat from Qiulong Mountain is gone, and we don't need to relocate anymore. You can focus on doing your own things."

"Where's my carbohydrate porridge?"

Hong Ming quickly asked, "Look, I've made such a huge sacrifice this time, can you give me a little more?"

Although he was confined to the Journey Village, he could still practice normally and become stronger. Carbohydrate porridge was his practice resource.

"I'll give you 20,000 kilograms."

Liu Hen said, "Ask Zong Ni for it. From now on, you can get 20 kilograms of carbohydrate porridge every day."

"Okay." Hong Ming was delighted, and he also realized in his heart that Liu Hen now seemed to have less prejudice against him.
