Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Shen Ye casually sheathed the broken sword in Lu Linxuan's hand, swept the corpses on the ground to both sides with one palm, and spoke to the people beside him.

……

After dealing with the chief of Jiuli Village, the group didn't linger for long. They ignored the Jiuli Village elders kneeling at the village gate and returned directly to Qianshan Village. This time, the chief of Qianshan Village was much more sincere. He even arranged for more than a dozen of the prettiest Miao girls in the village to serve them. Of course, Shen Ye was assigned the most, with seven or eight, but Shi Yao and Miao Xuan used their eyes to scare them away. After all, they were Shen Ye's personal maids.

After resting for a night, the group set off for Gui City.

Guishi, as the most mysterious and bustling market in Miao territory, could not possibly appear openly in the world. Instead, it was hidden deep in a mountain in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Without the guidance of locals, outsiders would probably never find it in their entire lives.

It just so happens that Chi Meng is a local, that she is very familiar with Gui City, and that Shen Ye is rich.

After traversing through one jungle after another, the group arrived near an inconspicuous hill. In a clearing near the hill, several strangely shaped stone statues were irregularly arranged.

Aside from Chi Meng, everyone was curious about the stone statues. The older sister even took out a small iron pickaxe from her huge backpack, intending to knock off a piece as a souvenir. Fortunately, Shen Ye stopped her, but she gave him a disapproving glare.

The group then passed through the stone statues and arrived at the front of the inconspicuous hill. There they saw a deep, dark cave entrance on the hill, and Miao people carrying bamboo baskets could be seen going in from time to time.

"This is the entrance to Gui City," Chi Meng proudly introduced. Although Miao Jiang has its own civilization, it is far behind the Central Plains. However, it still has many things to offer, such as Gui City, where you can buy many rare items that you can't even see in the Central Plains.

As she said this, the Miao girl looked up at the sky. Because of the rugged road, they had walked all the way here, which naturally took a long time. But it was only afternoon, and the sun would set much earlier.

Then she added, "The opening of Guishi has nothing to do with the time of day. As long as the sun has not set and it is not dark, it will not open even if it is the hour of Xu (7-9 PM)."

"It's still a long way off." Lu Linxuan calculated with his fingers and said dejectedly, "It's still a long time before dusk. Aren't we going to have to wait a long time? Sister Chi Meng, you are the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang. Can you ask the person in charge here to make an exception?"

"There's nothing I can do. Gui City has its own rules, and even if I'm a Holy Maiden, I can't break them," Chi Meng said helplessly. She always felt that her status as a Holy Maiden didn't seem to serve much purpose other than making people more polite.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while. We've been traveling all afternoon, and everyone must be tired." Shen Ye didn't intend to break the rules here by force. Although he had considered it at first, it wouldn't be very interesting to explore Gui City if just the few of them went in.

Since they needed to rest, they naturally wanted a good place, especially since the sun was blazing down. So Shen Ye and his group quickly found a towering tree to provide shade.

The towering tree had an enormous canopy, with intertwined branches and dense, opaque leaves that blocked out all light. The group, who had just finished their journey, immediately felt cool and comfortable sitting under its canopy.

Shen Ye waved away the older sister who was leaning over, and then enjoyed Shi Yao's plump thighs all to himself. He comfortably rested his head on them, crossed his legs, and chatted casually with Miao Xuan and the other two women sitting on either side of him, who were chasing away mosquitoes for him.

"Stingy." The older sister looked at Shen Ye's comfortable appearance and her eyes narrowed with envy. However, when she remembered that she hadn't given him the osmanthus cake yesterday, she regretted it a little. But she was very playful and soon started chatting with Chi Meng and Lu Linxuan again.

Hou Qing, however, picked up the flute carved from some unknown bone and began to play it slowly.

Yes, his skill level is much better than when he first started learning; the flute music is melodious and no longer so harsh.

……

Chapter 456! Gui City

……

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

A gong rang out, interrupting the conversation and the flute music that had been playing all afternoon.

"Guishi Market is open."

Chi Meng leaped up from the ground and looked at the crowd that was beginning to surge toward the entrance of the small cave. In the distance, she could vaguely see the Miao people she had met in the temple a few days ago.

"Let's go and see the mystery of Gui City."

Reluctantly leaving Shi Yao's plump thighs, Shen Ye followed the Miao people into the cave with the others, swaying slightly.

The group traversed a winding and incredibly deep mountain passage, and soon arrived at a stone chamber that was several tens of meters in diameter.

Although it was a stone chamber, the scene inside was surprisingly beautiful. Under the candlelight, some unknown stones embedded in the surrounding walls shone like stars, making everyone feel as if they were standing under a galaxy.

"It looks simple, but it's decorated with great taste."

Hou Qing's old habit kicked in again. After looking around, he couldn't help but praise him.

Shen Ye's gaze, however, fell on the huge bronze statue in the stone chamber that looked like the mythical beast Pixiu.

At this moment, Chi Meng flipped her wrist, and a handful of coins appeared in her hand. She casually threw them into the mouth of what appeared to be a bronze statue of the mythical beast Pixiu. Then, a hidden door suddenly opened on a stone wall in front of everyone, revealing a winding staircase path.

"Let's go."

Chi Meng was the first to walk down.

"Let me show you the largest market in our Miao region, Gui Market."

Immediately, the group followed Chi Meng and stepped into the extremely dark passage.

After walking down the steps for an unknown amount of time and distance, about three or four minutes later, the view suddenly opened up before them.

Chi Meng jumped down from the last step, turned around, opened her arms and said to everyone, "This is Gui City. Here, you can buy all kinds of strange and wonderful treasures from Miao territory, as well as various techniques for controlling Gu and repelling insects, and all kinds of mysterious magical artifacts. Of course, here we also have the poison-avoiding beads that we need the most."

At this moment, the Miao holy maiden regained her former lively personality, and her bouncy movements made her look incredibly innocent and cute.

However, the girl's cute appearance did not attract everyone's attention. Everyone's attention, including Shen Ye's, was drawn to the unexpected and wonderful scene in Gui City.

"I wonder how much manpower and resources the owner of Gui City spent to hollow out a mountain." Even Shen Ye, who has modern knowledge, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He saw traces of artificial excavation on the surrounding walls. Obviously, this cave world was not naturally formed, or rather, even if there were natural elements, they were artificially assisted.

"I don't know about that, but Gui City has existed since the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was first discovered."

Chi Meng had no idea of ​​the secrets behind this. After she finished speaking, she led the way, guiding everyone to stroll around Gui City.

Although buying the antidote beads is of utmost importance, it would be a shame not to take a look around since we've come all this way.

However, since only Chi Meng was wearing Miao clothing, many Miao people doing business there would cast strange glances at them as they strolled around. Some were friendly, some were malicious, and of course, some looked at them as if they were easy targets.

Even though he was already thick-skinned, Shen Ye couldn't stand being stared at wherever he went, so he immediately told Chi Meng to find a place that sold clothes so that everyone could change into local attire.

After all, being in Gui City was different from being outside; these Han Chinese were far too conspicuous and eye-catching.

Fortunately, Gui City sells almost everything, including clothes, and the styles and materials are much better than outside. Shen Ye simply waved his hand and threw down a gold ingot, buying a set for everyone.

Then, while the others were being taken away by Chi Meng to change clothes, he bought dozens more items, had them packed up and delivered to a secluded corner, and then stored them all in his system space.

When he watched the anime, Ji Ruxue's Miao ethnic costume really captivated him. Although she wasn't here now, he could buy it and have her wear it for him when he got back. Of course, not only Ji Ruxue, but the Empress and the other Holy Maidens also got their share, and even the women in his family didn't miss out.

Imagining them in Miao costumes, Shen Ye's heart fluttered, and he couldn't wait. Unfortunately, that day would have to wait a while longer.

Shaking his head regretfully, Shen Ye took his own set of clothes and went to the room where people could change.

Women find changing clothes just as troublesome as taking a bath. Even if they choose clothes they like and want to be satisfied, it takes just as much time as putting on makeup. After all, every woman has a person inside her who wants to show her most beautiful side... Of course, my sister is not included in this. She is the fastest at changing clothes among all the women.

When Sister came out of the changing room, Shen Ye had already been chatting with Hou Qing for a while. When he saw Sister, who was wearing Miao-style silver ornaments, a crop top, and bare white legs, hopping and skipping in front of him, he had a strange smile on his face. It wasn't that he thought she was ugly, but that she was extremely beautiful. He thought she would look even better if she could take that big backpack off her body.

"Hey kid, little brother, don't I look good?" Even with her girlish heart and the ability to change clothes the fastest, the older sister couldn't help but twirl around in front of the two of them, showing off her clothes.

"It looks good," Shen Ye and Hou Qing said in unison.

Then Hou Qing added, "Sister has excellent taste. This outfit suits you perfectly; it's very stylish."

"Having good taste" is the highest praise one can give to Hou Qing.

Then the older sister smiled smugly.

However, with the appearance of several other women, the older sister began to become unhappy.

Whether it was the equally innocent and lively Lu Linxuan, the mature and beautiful Shi Yao, or the alluring Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian, their charm was amplified several times over after they put on Miao costumes. Their appearance even made the dark underground world seem much brighter.

Perhaps influenced by her mindset, a flash of bloodlust appeared in the older sister's eyes, and countless emotions surfaced one after another before settling on two emotions.

Jealousy, envy.

But soon, both emotions disappeared, and the older sister seemed to be the same older sister again, but no matter how you looked at her, there was still some loss in her bloodshot eyes.

As the younger brother, Hou Qing cared most about his older sister. He walked to her side and whispered, "Sister, once you recover, none of them will be as good as you."

……

Chapter 457! Poison-Avoiding Beads

……

The Han and Miao people look no different from each other. After everyone changed into Miao costumes, the curious gazes around them quickly disappeared.

Although Shen Ye, who had watched the anime, knew where the auctions were in Gui City, it was his first time there, so he pretended not to know and asked Chi Meng to inquire about the whereabouts of the Poison-Avoiding Pearl from the clothing shop owner. That's how everyone learned that such a precious treasure as the Poison-Avoiding Pearl could only be bought at the auctions held in Gui City.

Having just made a big sale, the clothing shop owner enthusiastically pointed to the south of Gui City: "Do you see that row of wooden houses over there? The auction will be held in the largest one of them. It will be presided over by Xiao Weng, the manager of Gui City. However, there is still more than half an hour before the auction starts. If you are not in a hurry, you can find a place to sit for a while and taste some of our Miao specialties."

As he spoke, he pointed to several food stalls not far away, where many people were sitting and waiting for the auction to begin. Some of them spoke fluent Mandarin, clearly merchants from the Central Plains.

"Thank you very much." Shen Ye clasped his hands in a fist salute to the shop owner and then walked over with the others.

They asked the food stall owner to set up two tables and put them together. After ordering some snacks they hadn't tried before, everyone sat down together, eating and waiting.

Soon, half an hour had passed. Shen Ye tossed down a small silver ingot and, together with the others, followed the crowd who had gotten up at the same time to the largest wooden house.

In front of the wooden house, seven or eight strong Miao men with bare arms stood guard at the door. In addition to maintaining order and preventing accidents, they also had the important task of collecting entrance fees.

Shen Ye and his group waited in line for a while. When it was their turn, a burly Miao man glanced at him and asked, "How many people are there?"

"Eight."

"The entrance fee is eight taels of gold," the burly man said, gesturing with his hand.

Shen Ye didn't complain about the high entrance fee. He casually tossed the burly man a gold ingot weighing about ten taels and said generously, "Keep the change."

"So dashing." Hou Qing tapped his palm with his bone flute behind him and said involuntarily.

The group then entered the auction house.
