Chapter Seventy-One: The Barren Ladder
Xiaochen didn't know what the mist he saw was, and he couldn't figure out what the mist was, but out of caution, he still didn't want to try it himself, let alone let Huang Cheng try it, but fortunately, someone had already rushed in regardless of it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Wuchen, who had already entered earlier, was walking towards Xiaochen and the others, and Xiaochen shouted, "Did you find anything?" ”
"It's strange that the village doesn't look like it's deserted, but there's no one in it." Wuchen was also strange, he walked most of the village, and he didn't see anyone, he was afraid that Xiaochen and Huang Cheng would be in a hurry, so he returned to the entrance of the village.
"No matter, let's go and see, maybe people have any customs, and they all gather in one place at night." Xiaochen has seen in the classics that the residents of some places have very strange customs and habits, why do they gather together at night, this possibility is not impossible.
Xiaochen and his entourage slowly walked into the village with vigilance, as Wuchen said, the whole village does not look old and barren, and there are still fresh vegetables and fruits growing in a small vegetable field in front of some doors, which are obviously often taken care of, but I don't know why, but there is no one.
"No, I'll have to go inside and have a look." As he walked, Xiaochen suddenly stopped and said.
"So, isn't it okay?" Wuchen and Huang Cheng also stopped, and it was Huang Cheng who spoke.
"It's okay, I'm not going to grab anything." Saying that, Xiaochen didn't care so much, he directly found a family and pushed the door in.
Huang Cheng and Wuchen stood in place and did not go in with Xiaochen.
After a while, Xiaochen walked out of the house, muttering something without knowing what to do.
"How's it going, is there anyone in the house?" Waiting for Xiaochen to come to the front, Wuchen spoke.
"There wasn't a single one in there, but the water in the pot on the stove was still hot." Xiaochen spread his hands and said helplessly.
"So these villagers only came to Xiaochen not long ago, but where have they gone?" Wuchen couldn't imagine what was going on for a while.
"You wait here for me, I'll fly up and have a look." After saying that, Xiaochen took out the blue stream, first ran quickly outside the village, and then the sword went straight into the sky, he didn't want to plunge into the fog.
Before, I was afraid of alarming the local residents, all of them walked all the way, and at this moment I found that there was no one in the village, Xiaochen was naturally not afraid of being seen by mortals, and when he flew into the sky and looked down, Xiaochen found that the entire village from the appearance to the arrangement of the houses, there was nothing surprising, but the people of this village have been determined that they disappeared mysteriously not long ago.
After looking at this direction for a while, Xiaochen still didn't find anything special, and at the moment, he had to look at the star pupil again.
As far as the eye could see, the village could no longer be seen, because Xiaochen looked down from the height, all he saw was a thick black fog, and there was no law to follow, so Xiaochen had no choice but to accept the star pupil, and the sword descended.
"Still can't see anything." Xiaochen shook his head, saying that he couldn't explain all this in front of him.
"Could it be that they are out of the village?" Huang Cheng asked.
"I don't know, maybe there are any activities in this village today, and the whole village of men, women and children needs to participate." So far, Xiaochen has no better explanation, if he said that he saw the black fog, it is no different from not saying it, after all, as a person who can see the black fog, he has not found anything, let alone two people who can't see it.
"Then let's get out of here now." Wuchen opened his mouth and said, after listening to Xiaochen's words, it seems that he really can't find any other explanation, and it's not impossible for monsters to make monsters haunt, but the monsters that can make the people of the entire village disappear without leaving a trace can't look down on the people of this village.
"No, there are undoubtedly people here, how can we leave like this." Xiaochen vetoed it.
"And what do you want?" Wuchen frowned.
"At the very least, we have to investigate where these people have gone, and what the black fog in the sky is." Xiaochen didn't have a smile on his face at the moment, obviously, he was serious when he said this.
"What black fog?" Huang Cheng looked at Xiaochen suspiciously and said.
"You can't see it, I also opened the star pupil just now, and what I can see is my left eye, which you also saw just now." Since he wants to solve the problem, Xiaochen will naturally tell all the clues that may be used.
"The black fog that can't be seen...... That's probably a monster. "It's weird, I'm afraid this kind of thing is only done by the people, or some monsters who do the way.
"Then what to do next, you saw the black fog at the beginning, and now you still don't know where the villagers went, I'm afraid it's useless to see it." Huang Cheng's guess was not bad at all, Xiaochen really didn't see anything from the black fog.
"There's only one way, I'll go in and see in this fog." Xiaochen said resolutely.
"Nope." Huang Cheng vetoed, "You don't even know what it is, why do you little qi cultivators probe." After speaking, Huang Cheng didn't wait for Xiaochen to refute, and rushed to the sky with a retreat.
"Damn, that's all I have to say." Xiaochen lifted his star pupils and watched Huang Cheng rush towards the black mist, and he himself hurriedly flew up.
With my world, how can it be your turn to take risks. Flying to catch up with Xiaochen, this move was indeed reckless, and it was also a decision made by Xiaochen without even thinking about it.
"Two madmen." Wuchen smiled bitterly and wanted to follow, but Xiaochen's voice came from the sky, "You stay here, in case we have something, there is someone to ask for help." ”
Wuchen was right to think about it, so he stopped his movements and looked at the sky, he had no star pupils, he couldn't see the black fog, he only saw the clear transparent sky, but Huang Cheng flew and suddenly disappeared, and then Xiaochen also disappeared, after seeing that Xiaochen and Huang Cheng had disappeared, Wuchen quickly left the village and returned to the woods to sit cross-legged.
Huang Cheng heard Xiaochen say that when the sky above the village was shrouded in fog, she released the True Yuan shield as soon as she took off, just now she suddenly felt that the True Yuan of the protective body had friction with something, and in just a moment, that feeling disappeared, but at this time it was completely dark in front of her eyes, it was just twilight at the moment, it couldn't be so dark, the only explanation was that she had entered the fog.
But Xiaochen was different from Huang Cheng, he had already activated the star pupil before he took off, and he could clearly see everything in front of him, including how he entered this black fog.
Strictly speaking, the two of them did not enter the so-called fog, Xiaochen just saw clearly that this fog was just a medium, equivalent to a door, and they entered the world inside the door.
The darkness disappeared, and Huang Cheng stood between a large road, and deep ruts could be seen on the road, and the sides of the road were very clean, and all signs indicated that this was a road with frequent pedestrians.
After Huang Cheng looked around, he walked forward, the straight road didn't know where it led, and he didn't know where it started, so Huang Cheng kept walking forward.
After Xiaochen entered the black fog in Huang Cheng, he quickly rushed in, but after Xiaochen came in, what he saw was a piece of corruption, dead branches and leaves, the sky was filled with a rotten atmosphere, the black oppressive clouds, as if heavy rain could pour at any time, under his feet was a white stone paved path, in front of which were stone steps, all the way up, and then far away, Xiaochen couldn't see any farther, but he didn't see Huang Cheng, and his heart was full of strong uneasiness.
"Hades Gate, Barren Sky Ladder, Stinky Boy, how did you get to this place." Han's voice carried a trace of extremely rare shock, and the figure appeared behind Xiaochen.
"What is this place?" Wuchen is not here, Xiaochen just wanted to ask, but Han came out by himself.
"Between life and death, when you go and stay, you live in one step, die in one step, and when you reach the end of this ladder, you become an underworld, that is, you die." The words are not shocking, Han just appeared, and after some words, Xiaochen's face was pale, he was not only afraid of dying, but also afraid that Huang Cheng, who had not seen it now, would have walked up the stone steps.
