Chapter 276: Tricky
This village is not big, there are only about 100 households, the streets are very clean, and even the dust outside is a little different, especially in the houses on both sides, there are many lights.
It's just that Chen Fan's face sank at this moment, and his divine sense had already dispersed, covering this small village, but he didn't notice that there was any breath of life around him.
Even Xiao Mingyue directly pushed open a few lit houses, which were empty, and there was no half of the figure, especially in one of them, there were some simple half-eaten meals on the table, but there was no one around.
If it was just that, the little girl's cheerful laughter had not dissipated until now, it had always echoed, and even as Chen Fan and Xiao Mingyue entered the village, the laughter could no longer tell where it came from, as if it was coming from all the places around.
What frightened Chen Fan the most was that his divine consciousness was always spreading out, enveloping all around, but he still couldn't find the place where the laughter came from, let alone the little girl who came out of the laughter.
Especially the sense of uneasiness in his heart, at this moment, with the echo of laughter, it is also climbing rapidly, faintly giving Chen Fan a sense of crisis, at this moment, suddenly, the laughter disappeared violently!
After the sudden disappearance, before Chen Fan and Xiao Mingyue could check it, the voice that also belonged to the little girl once again echoed throughout the village, but at this moment it was no longer laughter, but became a ...... Cry!
The cry and whimper, implying poignant, despair, and helpless madness, echoed more strongly than the previous laughter around them, and there was actually a strong wind in this Yangtze County, which had no wind!
There was a faint roar from heaven and earth, as if a muffled thunder exploded, and countless flying ashes on the ground were blown up, covering the sky and the sun at the same time, a creepy feeling rose in Chen Fan's heart.
"Xiao Mingyue, you are a Mahayana master, hurry up and find out what kind of gods and demons this is?" Chen Fan was short of breath, looked around, and when he spoke quickly, his face suddenly changed again, and he turned his head sharply to look at the place where Xiao Mingyue was before.
Xiao Mingyue, who was originally standing there and looking around, actually disappeared at this moment!
Chen Fan suddenly sighed in his heart, with his cultivation, Xiao Mingyue was at such a close distance, if he left, he would definitely be able to detect it, but now, ...... The other party is gone.
"It's so weird here!"
"It's impossible for Xiao Mingyue to leave, so there's only one possibility!"
"There is a secret array here, which can form a magic body similar to overlapping space!" Chen Fan's eyes froze, and his right hand suddenly raised, and on it was a blazing sun essence fire, and the next moment he pressed it towards the earth.
The roar immediately burst into the sky, and the Sun Essence Fire exploded directly, and the power of the Sun Essence Fire contained in it suddenly exploded as if it was dripping into the oil pot at this moment.
With the spread of the flames, it seemed to lift a veil that could not be seen, and after sweeping in all directions, Xiao Mingyue's figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
She was also shocked, and when she saw Chen Fan at this moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the outbreak of the Sun Essence Fire, this already small village, immediately fell into flames, and the buildings everywhere became ashes in an instant, and soon, when Chen Fan and Xiao Mingyue rose into the air, the village below them had turned into a sea of fire.
Under the burning of this flame, the cry still echoed, and when one of the two-story attics in the more than 100 houses was also burned, Chen Fan immediately saw that on the second floor of the attic, there was a small bed, and there was a puppet on the bed...... It was the terrible cry.
Listening to the terrible cry echoing in his ears, and looking at the puppet that was gradually engulfed by the flames, an indescribable chill rose in Chen Fan's heart.
Maybe it's because of the living environment since he was a child, or maybe it's because he was born sensitive to crises, and when he has a premonition of a crisis, he has an unusually sensitive sense of crisis.
At this moment, his intuition told him that the problem in Yangzi County was huge!
"There's not the slightest hint of ghost there, the puppet...... It's definitely not a ghost!" Just when Chen Fan's heart was low here, Xiao Mingyue on the side spoke hoarsely.
There was a solemnity in her eyes, obviously although she did not have the same intuition as Chen Fan, but with the identity of a Mahayana master and the degree of understanding of this world, she also had some judgments.
"Or rather, not all of them are ghosts...... Because I felt a trace of soul attraction in that puppet, this attraction ...... It's in that direction!" Xiao Mingyue raised her hand, pointed into the distance, and when she turned around, she looked at Chen Fan and did not continue to speak, but the meaning was already very clear.
There were two choices in front of them, one was to leave now and wait for the arrival of the other Heavenly Venerables of the two major temples, or the demigod powerhouses in retreat, and the second option was ...... Go check it out and try to resolve it!
The former is the safest, but neither Xiao Mingyue nor Chen Fan can afford to wait for that time, unless they give up their respective territories, otherwise, they can only choose the second path.
Chen Fan didn't know if Xiao Mingyue would give up the Prayer God Temple, but he knew very well that unless it was a moment when it was really unsolvable, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to give up Zongshan Prefecture, which had already seen hope and become a banner!
In silence, Chen Fan took a deep breath, shook his body, went straight to the direction Xiao Mingyue pointed, and roared away.
Xiao Mingyue hesitated, although she was the lord of a hall, she knew that if the Temple of Prayer was destroyed because of the ominousness of this place, she would not end well, and the Fire God Temple would definitely not let her live well.
At this moment, he also had no choice, his body unfolded his speed, and Chen Fan rushed forward and backward, galloping towards the distance.
As they moved forward, their faces became more and more ugly, they had been flying for so long, they had not seen half a living person, the whole land was gray, there were no plants, no mountains, nothing.
Even the towns and villages seem to have been erased, and the occasional few places will come from all kinds of strange sounds when the two of them pass by.
As you can imagine, they are all as weird as the first village.
In this way, under this silent gallop, in this increasingly vigilant situation, in Chen Fan's eyes, a city appeared!
This city is the county seat of Yangtze County!
"The soul guide is here, but I can't feel the specific location. Xiao Mingyue immediately spoke, but the moment she saw this city and her divine consciousness passed by, whether it was Chen Fan or Xiao Mingyue, their expressions changed again!
In their divine sense, this city is different from the village they have seen before, there are still monks here, but these monks are like walking corpses, and they are moving forward in the streets and alleys of this city one by one.
Not only that, but what is even more strange is that everyone in this city is holding all kinds of food in their hands and constantly eating it while moving forward at this moment.
What's even more terrifying is that there are quite a few, who seem to have eaten all the food, and are actually eating their own hands, and some of them, as if they are hungry to the extreme, gnawing at each other!
This scene made Chen Fan and Xiao Mingyue even faster after noticing it, and they arrived in the middle of the city in an instant, and when they looked at it, the scenes they saw were even clearer.
Chen Fan's body shook, and in an instant, he landed on a street in the city, walked a few steps quickly, and came to a monk who was a female cultivator, who was constantly eating her fingers at the moment, drenched in blood, but she didn't seem to know it, and what appeared on her face was a kind of hunger madness that seemed to never be able to eat.
All this made Chen Fan's heart shake, but he still raised his right hand and pressed it directly on the woman's forehead, his divine sense dispersed, and he checked it, and the reason why he wanted to contact and see it was because Chen Fan wanted to make sure that his judgment would not be affected in the slightest.
As he looked at it, Chen Fan's face became even more gloomy.
At the same time, Xiao Mingyue also came down, and like Chen Fan, after checking it, the two glanced at each other.
"There is nothing out of the ordinary!"
"The mind is still there, but the confusion is not clear!"
"There is no trace of the body being manipulated, it seems that all these states are caused by instinct!"
"And their vitality is constantly withering and passing!" Chen Fan and Xiao Mingyue immediately spoke one after another, and after saying their judgments, both of them had a sense of trickiness.
It's really everything here, it's too weird.
