Chapter 736: Dead City and Dead People
When the large circulation in the body was slowly repaired, Yuling also woke up.
After all, his subconscious was still very tight, how could he fall into a coma with peace of mind.
According to his own vague senses, he had been unconscious for a few minutes at most, but the scene before him had become completely different.
What had been a dark and gloomy forest a moment ago had now become a simple thatched hut.
"Are you awake?" a hoarse voice came from beside him, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing.
Yu Ling immediately sat up, and the wooden bed underneath seemed to have rotted for a long time, making a piercing creaking sound, as if it could not bear his weight.
At the bedside stood an old and decrepit woman, whose face was full of wrinkles and spots that almost obscured her true appearance, as if she were eighty or ninety years old and about to be laid to rest.
She grinned and showed a kind smile, but for some reason it made people feel a little creepy, perhaps because this smile was too dull and stiff, coupled with that empty and stunned gaze, anyone would be cold.
If this old woman appeared on the road in the middle of the night, it was very likely that she would be taken as a ghost.
"May I ask ...... you are" Yuling looked at the old woman carefully, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this person.
But she didn't have any murderous intent or malice on her, so Yu Ling didn't rush to act rashly, and planned to observe and observe first.
Nian Yubai is not there, Nian Yufeng is not there, and the little fox is not there, could it be that the special space node is also randomly disrupted?
However, they were all cultivators above the Phantom God, and Yu Ling was not particularly anxious and worried.
As if she hadn't heard his question, the old woman turned around stiffly and brought a bowl of black medicinal soup, exuding a slightly bitter smell of herbs and trees.
She still had that stiff smile on her face, like a puppeteer: "You're hurt, drink this." ”
"Thank you, no, I'm almost healed. "Of course, Yu Ling can't drink anything here, besides, his recovery power has always been strong, and a few minutes is enough to heal the injuries he suffered before.
"You're hurt, drink this. The old woman still repeated mechanically one by one, and even the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.
Yu Ling felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, and he thought it was the old woman's ear, so he raised his voice and repeated what he had just said.
"You're hurt, drink this. Who knew that the old woman completely ignored it and still said persistently.
Yu Ling gently got off the bed and walked to the door, and the old woman also moved her steps to follow him, like a wisp of mechanical ghost.
When the old woman repeated that sentence for the Nth time, Yuling was really helpless, and reached out to take the medicine bowl.
The old woman's state changed at this time, and she smiled stiffly and kindly: "Drink slowly, be careful not to burn." ”
Yuling held the cold porcelain bowl, only silent for a while.
But strange to say, when he took the porcelain bowl into his hand, the medicinal soup in the bowl suddenly changed greatly, the original bitter smell of plants and trees instantly turned into a rancid smell, and even countless disgusting black insects could be seen wriggling in the water.
Even if this thing is not poisoned, normal people will have to drink it, right?
Yu Ling sniffed lightly and barely recognized the smell of several spirit grasses, such as spirit lavender and Tianyu flower, which did have a certain effect on recovering from injuries, but ......
But you can imagine the consequences of a certain serving of food being exposed to the air and expired for several years.
Yu Ling looked around the humble room again, just as a gust of wind blew from the window, blowing the bed he had just lain into a cloud of dust and powder.
Yu Ling couldn't help but move in his heart, how did he feel...... Everything here looks like it's been rotting for thousands of years?
"Drink it slowly, be careful not to burn it. The old woman in front of her was still repeating rigidly.
Yu Ling finally realized what his strange feeling was.
This old woman is like an NPC who has been programmed in advance, and the program is very rudimentary, and she will only repeat those few words step by step.
Yuling opened the door and threw the medicine bowl out, but there was no "clang" cracking sound.
Because the porcelain bowl had turned to ashes after it left his hand, only the foul-smelling black soup with wriggling worms spilled on the ground.
The old woman's expression changed again, and she asked stiffly, "Why don't you drink it?"
Yu Ling didn't have the heart to entangle with her anymore, and came directly to the courtyard outside the door in a flash.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back, and the wooden door also decayed in an instant, turning into countless flying debris.
It seems that as long as he touches something, it will come to the end of his life in a very short time.
"Why don't you drink?" the old woman appeared in front of him like a ghost, and the breeze lifted her trouser legs, revealing her white bones.
Looking at her thin and thin body, Yu Ling's heart was awe-struck for a while, could it be that this old woman's two legs were already white bones, or that she was originally a dead person?
Yes, death, she was shrouded in an incomparably rich death.
Yu Ling already knew why he felt very uncomfortable when he saw this old woman for the first time, because he was a living person, and the old woman was a dead person.
When anger meets death, there is naturally fierce rejection.
After realizing this, Yu Ling only felt that the whole world was filled with a dead air.
The sky is gray, the earth is gray, and even the people are dull and mechanical like zombies, this is an undoubted dead city.
Yuling is an outlier here.
He sank his mind and looked inwardly at his body, faintly feeling that the vitality in his body was slowly being assimilated, or absorbed, by this dead city.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, maybe if he stays here for ten years or decades, all his anger will disappear, and he will become a dead man in ignorance.
It's just that Yuling can't believe it, this is the lost ancient city that the bonus task says?
What is the significance of the competition committee asking everyone to look for this place?
"Why don't you drink it?" the old woman's faint voice pulled back Yuling's thoughts.
She didn't have any impatience or anger, just repeated the same words over and over again, as if she would never get tired of it.
Dead people certainly don't get tired of it.
Yu Ling pinched out the seal and wrapped the old woman in place with the curtain of the cocoon, and he also took the opportunity to get out and came to the street outside the dead city.
Deserted and empty.
This is Yuling's deepest impression of this city.
Even if there were some figures walking around the streets, they were just dead people.
"I can't find it, I can't find it......" a ghost-like woman floated past Yu Ling, her eyes glazed over.
Yu Ling couldn't help but glance at her more, but she didn't expect the woman to immediately turn her face and stare at him, her expression instantly became extremely resentful, and she screamed: "You return my child!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Ling frowned, and with a flash of blue light from the domain spirit technique, he knocked the woman away.
She fell to the ground with a thud, her body weathering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a wisp of gray mist drifted into the air.
Yu Ling only felt a chill all over his body, and the scattered death and resentment seemed to be associated with him, even if he quickly dispersed all foreign objects under the purification of his blood qi, it was undeniable that he was still quite affected.
It seems that it is better not to have too much contact with these "dead people" unless necessary.
Yu Ling was thinking about it, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure turning around the corner.
Although it was only a glimpse, he still vaguely felt that the figure was very familiar.
