"Sigan League...... Sigan League...... Don't you feel like staying in Drift City...... It feels like a long walk now!!Why doesn't there be a means of transportation in the Phantom World!?" Black and White Boy's wail echoed in the wilderness, Lin Ziyue patted her shoulder, it had been nearly two hours since the group left Jack City and bid farewell to the Sky Pirates, but it was at least half an hour before they walked to the town between Xigan League and Jack City, except for Black and White Boy who continued to move forward with Lin Ziyue, Jack and Shadow Dance, Gray Meng and the others all set off to go back to the market in the Sky Sea.

"It's really a long time...... Jack wiped the sweat from his head, his face became more and more pale, he was different from Lin Ziyue and others, he was affected by his own physical strength and fatigue.

Lin Ziyue thought at first that he was sick and couldn't walk for long, but after walking for two hours, Jack didn't seem to have any special reaction except for sweating and being a little unenergetic, but thinking that he was almost there, she decided that everyone would go to the next town first and then have a good rest.

"Hmm...... It's so annoying, it's not a game at all!" Black and White Boy shook his head at Jack's back fiercely, and the way Black and White Boy vented along the way, making Lin Ziyue feel that it looked very painful, is this really venting instead of masochism?

Shadow pulled a hydration bag from his waist and handed it to Jack, who took it in surprise and said, "You...... Well, thank you, kind sir. ”

The shadow didn't even look at him, but looked straight ahead and said, "Wait until we get to the next town...... We have to be very careful. ”

"What's wrong with that place?" Lin Ziyue asked.

Black and White Tsai frowned: "En...... Speaking of which, why haven't I heard of the 'Balloon Town' that Brother Shadow talked about before? Even if Driftlust doesn't stop there, at least there will be players ......."

"There's no player in that town, wait a minute, over there...... No matter what we see, we must not interfere, once we do, it will be endless. The shadow's gaze was a little evasive.

After Lin Ziyue noticed his abnormality, she frowned, but she didn't ask more, but opened the chat box and typed as she walked.

Moon Shadow in the Forest: Xuanyuan, what's wrong with that Balloon Town? Can you tell me what you're hiding from those two people?

Shadow Dance: Yes, but there is a prerequisite

Shadow Dance: You'll have to promise me not to interfere

Moon Shadow in the Forest: This ...... It's a little hard, you have to tell me what it is first

Shadow Dance: Tsk

Shadow Dance: Okay, okay, I'll just say that

Then the shadow didn't speak in the private chat box between the two, but said directly: "There are balloons in that balloon town, but it's not an ordinary balloon, but something like a horror comic...... Human head balloons. ”

Lin Ziyue's back stood on end in an instant, that classic horror comic, she had also seen it when she was hanging around on the Internet, the atmosphere created by the comic from beginning to end, the creepy sense of despair, just thinking about it made her hands tremble a little.

Hei Baizai tilted his head sideways, and was also startled when he saw Lin Ziyue's face: "Sister Yue...... You don't have a problem, right? It seems to be just a special balloon, maybe the balloon is in the shape of a human head, do you want to?"

"A town with a human head balloon...... Isn't that just a vanished legend?" interjected Jack, causing everyone else to turn their eyes to him, rubbing his neck a little unnaturally, before explaining, "Haven't you heard the raven's nursery rhyme?"

The three shook their heads together, and Jack sighed and spoke.

"That's the story that Maria used to scare me when I was disobedient as a child, and I don't know where she heard it, it's all very scary and dark things, and now I think about it, it's really because of the relationship of being a witch...... Those stories aren't for kids at all.

Ah, it's far away, let's continue to talk about the crow's nursery rhyme, although it is a nursery rhyme, but it is a collection of stories that have little relevance, consisting of many scattered stories, one of which is that in this nut continent, there is a small town full of balloons, and the tragedy that happened in the town.

Balloon Town was not originally called Balloon Town, just an ordinary town, the mine in the town accidentally found a well, the gas in it has an abnormal magic density, poured into a leather bag or sphere, you can fly with things, so the people in the town immediately began to sell this gas as a commodity, and sold it to the surrounding cities after a large number of developments, but soon people became more and more greedy, wanting to develop more uses for these gases, so they used the money they earned to invite a lot of magicians to the town to help them study this gas。

As a result, I think you also understood...... There was an accident in the research room, and some of the gas in the research escaped, and then after burrowing into the balloon bag, it turned into a terrible monster that plundered human life, and then the whole town was attacked. The monsters will show the face of the target and then chase after the target, more and more balloons appear in the town, and people flee in a panic, thankfully the monsters seem to be limited by the town's mine roots and cannot leave the town, so the people who escaped survived, but the history of the town is gradually forgotten, leaving only a tale of vigilance against greed, and in the end no one knows where it is.

Now that I'm almost done with the story, I have a question I'd like to ask...... Why would Mr. Shadow know where that town is?"

The corners of the shadow's mouth were raised, and the look of smiling flesh without smiling looked a little weird: "You ask me, hehe...... Why do I know?"

Lin Ziyue slapped him on the arm: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, don't say it if you don't want to say it, what's the trouble." ”

The shadow watched her actions and smiled, although Jack still had questions, but he also stopped the topic, but the black and white boy said with a worried face: "The place we are going to is so dangerous, isn't there no way to go in and rest?"

"That's why I've told you not to meddle with whatever you see, if you don't provoke the balloons, we should be able to ...... Well, the protection of the gods of the illusory world. ”

Black and White glanced at Jack and muttered softly, "You want to talk about the system...... Is Jack okay?"

"It's okay, that curse has faded after all these years, and it's ......" Shadow paused and chuckled, "Heh, isn't there still one?"

Lin Ziyue glared at him dissatisfiedly: "What are you thinking again? Don't touch my summoning creatures! I panic when I see your strange fanatical eyes, stay away from her!!"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to beat her up. The shadow shrugged casually, walked briskly in front, and put that signature smile on his face, looking at the shadow's appearance, which made Lin Ziyue feel even more uneasy.

Ten minutes later, as far as the eye can see, you can catch a glimpse of some irregular balls floating in the sky, like huge hot air balloons, large and small, as if they are still moving slowly.

Seeing this scene, Jack's face immediately changed, Lin Ziyue also grabbed the hand of the black and white boy tightly, usually the black and white boy held her, this time the roles seemed to be reversed.

"Sister Yue, isn't it just a murderous balloon...... That's it......"

At the end of Black and White's words, it turned into an almost mumble as she stared straight at a balloon floating in the sky towards several people, her eyes fixed on the rope that had been caught in the balloon's mouth below.

On the rope was tied a corpse that was hung high, the corpse had rotted so much that it could not see the shape, basically only bones and scattered strands of hair remained, but on the balloon floating above, there was a laughing woman's face, as if the human head had been blown up, the huge head was floating in the air like a balloon and shaking back and forth, the expression was distorted and exaggerated to make people fearful, but the shape of the facial features could still be recognized, the hair hung down scatteredly, and the bloodshot eyes bulged outward, and at this time it was turning diagonally downward, as if looking at Lin Ziyue and a few people。

"Good, disgusting...... It's disgusting to watch...... Woo-ah......" The black and white boy tugged at Lin Ziyue's sleeve and pointed to the bones under the balloon tremblingly, "That thing is ...... What?"

The shadow took out the dagger from his waist, but Lin Ziyue noticed his fingers and trembled slightly when he stopped on the handle, it seemed that the shadow himself didn't have much confidence in facing this kind of human head balloon, and Jack also noticed the strangeness of the shadow, and couldn't help but laugh...... Isn't it just a balloon......

The balloon above their heads let out a shrill laugh, as if mocking Jack's words, and Jack lowered his head with a straight face, and his already paper-like face became more and more pale.

"Let's go, it's just curious, it won't attack us. Lin Ziyue was already the calmest of the few people relatively speaking, but she also summoned the staff and held it in her hand, and after forcibly suppressing the urge to look overhead, she continued to move in the direction of more balloons floating, and several people moved forward together, but they all remained silent, and they no longer had the mood to chat all the way before.

After all, the thing above them was still following them towards the town.

The shadow walked forward a few times quickly, and after standing side by side with Lin Ziyue, he asked her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Weren't you still scared just now?" ”

Lin Ziyue raised her head and looked at the balloon and replied, "It's okay...... That balloon also has a killing rule, and it's because I know this that I'm relieved, but we have to be careful of the balloon with our appearance. ”

"You mean they're only going to kill the people they show up above?" the shadow looked up, and the huge balloons floating in the air cast shadows on several people in the hot afternoon sun.

"Yes...... And even according to the version of Jack's story, since we are not townspeople, the possibility of being cursed should be very small, because the root cause of this balloon is their bad retribution...... Although I would love to let those poor people be buried in the ground, rather than dry the skeletons......"

"Sister Yue, the ghost balloon incident in that town...... Let's not meddle, this town is a multiplayer dungeon in terms of its danger level. The black and white boy came over and followed Lin Ziyue closely, stalking his neck and looking ahead.

Jack also said, "I'm in favor of...... We must not get involved in it, this kind of legendary thing will often become more terrifying because of the relationship between legends. ”

Lin Ziyue didn't say anything, just stared at each other with the balloon above her head.

Shadow noticed that something was wrong with her expression, but looking at her silence, she was probably thinking about something that she couldn't say.

By the time they reached the edge of town, dozens of welcome balloons had gathered overhead, some of them crowded together, and when they bumped into each other, they would open their chapped lips wide, let out a piercing scream at each other, or gnaw at each other's hair like wild beasts, forming a beastly race.

Lin Ziyue had been observing the human head balloons above her head all the way, feeling that this scene seemed to have been seen in some animal worlds, and she didn't know whether their actions such a follow were out of curiosity, territorial awareness, or hunting mentality.

The shadow also raised his head and glanced at the somewhat chaotic balloons in the sky.

"It's like some kind of wild animal...... Do you say they still have memories of being killed and killed?" Shadow patted Lin Ziyue on the shoulder and asked her.

Lin Ziyue shook her head: "I think maybe even the species has changed, it feels like a new form, even if there are dead people's faces, they are not the same people." ”

A voice suddenly came from Lin Ziyue's cane: "Those balloons have souls in them. ”

Lin Ziyue put the cane in front of her eyes in confusion and asked, "None of them, can you see the soul?"

"I can only say that it is induction, I can feel that those balloons contain people's souls, and they are self-conscious...... But looking at their state, it seems that only the instincts of beasts are left, and there must be something that imprisons the sanity of the soul itself. ”

The shadow sighed, "Well, you won't be the same as I think......"

Lin Ziyue was a little embarrassed: "No, no...... It's just that if the curse can be solved easily, the people who have died in this town ...... I guess I can be relieved, right?"

"Don't do too much, it's scary to think about dealing with that kind of thing!!" Black and White's voice trembled.

Lin Ziyue nodded: "I said try not to interfere...... Let's go to the skill guild in the town to register first, but how can we register if there is no one?"

"It doesn't matter, there is a self-service platform. The shadow said casually, and walked ahead to lead the way.
