Chapter Fifty-Four: A Hidden Village

The two said some innocuous words again, and after that, Han Xuelian vaguely revealed a little information.

"It's been a little strange in the village lately!" Han Xuelian said inadvertently with light steps.

Tianlan asked, "What's strange?"

Han Xuelian tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "I can't say it well, I just feel that the village has become deserted." Moreover, many of my childhood friends who are about my age have gone out for adventures, and Snow Lotus wants to go too. I told my grandfather, but my grandfather wouldn't let me. Now there are only the drums left in the village, and they often stay at home and don't play with me!"

She complained about a few childhood friends, and said: "The village is so boring, Xuelian wants to go out to play, and it took a long time for her grandfather to agree! Tianlan, do you know any fun places, take me next time!"

Tianlan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "There are man-eating monsters outside, and it's not fun at all. Isn't it good to be at home with grandpa?"

Han Xuelian lowered her head and said, "Grandpa is very good, but sometimes he is too strict and doesn't let him do this, don't let him do that." ”

Tianlan didn't speak this time, and shook his head silently.

"It's here!" Han Xuelian led everyone to a stone cave.

This cave is a natural formation, the stone walls are dark blue, and there is a little moss, so you can't see any difference. The mercenaries looked around, but they didn't see the reason, they all stared at Han Xuelian, waiting for her next move.

"Blinding method?" The silver light in Tianlan's eyes flashed, and he found that this place was just a low-level blinding method that had been arranged. It's just that this trick is used very cleverly, if it weren't for Han Xuelian pointing out that there is something wrong here, it would really not be easy to notice.

Han Xuelian walked to a stone wall and groped for a long time, when suddenly there was a click, the stone wall disappeared, and a new path appeared. She greeted everyone and was the first to walk in.

Everyone drew their swords, took a stance, and marched behind her with 120,000 spirits. However, this time there were no traps, and everyone walked out smoothly, and suddenly, there was an open field in front of them.

What catches your eye is a wide world, like a paradise. On the whole, it is a secluded valley, with high mountain walls on all sides, and the top of it is not visible, and the sky is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sun and moon are not visible.

There are large farmland ponds with green bamboo, green vegetable leaves, and fruit trees and tea trees everywhere, enough to be self-sufficient, no wonder you only need to buy some condiments.

Surrounded by mulberry fields and green bamboos, it is a small village, which should be Xiaoyao Village. The small village is not large, there are only about 20 families, wooden houses and small courtyards, surrounded by fences, very quiet. Several of the huts were dilapidated and deserted, apparently abandoned. The most striking thing is the big house in the easternmost part of the village, which is much more magnificent than the other wooden houses, although it is still not on the same level as the outside world.

Han Xuelian said to Tianlan: "That, I'm back, I have to go and talk to my grandfather first." My grandfather was the village chief and lived in the biggest house over there. You...... You can take a look first, don't go too far, I'll come back to you!I'll go first!" With that, she ran to the village, stopping and waving to Tianlan on the way before running into the largest house.

The crowd also walked towards the village, and finally arrived at Xiaoyao Village. Although this place seems to be peaceful, after a thrilling journey, no one thinks that it will really be so peaceful, so they still dare not relax.

They walked past several houses, and when several villagers saw them, they ran back to their houses in terror without waiting for them to speak, locked the doors in a panic, and then closed the windows and locked the houses tightly. Lock the doors and close the windows, and don't even give them a chance to speak. These villagers were panicked, and they were afraid that they would be touched by outsiders, so they would dare to speak, and at most they would dare to look at them secretly through the window.

I walked half the village in a row, and I was treated like this. There are a lot of living people, but unfortunately they talk less than the dead, which is very strange.

Ye Yi scratched his head and said, "Are we that scary?"

Nangong Mingjing frowned, looked troubled, and said, "Don't you think it's so strange here?

Ye Yi replied: "It's very strange, the people here are too afraid of life! We are not man-eating monsters!"

Nangong Mingjing shook his head and said, "No, I mean the voice, don't you think, even if it's quiet, it's too quiet?"

I didn't mention it, but I didn't think that when he said this, everyone listened attentively, and indeed, there was no sound except for the wind. The mulberry fields and green bamboos here are very lush, and it stands to reason that there are many associated flowers, birds, insects and fish. But they passed through the pond all the way, and they didn't see a single flying insect or hear a bird's song!

Well, even if there are few species here. So why don't even chickens and dogs bark?

They saw a lot of chicken coops and cowsheds along the road, and it can be seen that the people here raise chickens and ducks, but why is it so quiet? They can't even hear a dog barking, is this still a normal village?

When everyone thought of this, their faces became ugly. I don't even think something is right when I look at those green dishes! This dish is so beautiful, but it can't attract birds and insects, it can't be a poisonous weed, right?

Everyone was silent, and in this way, the atmosphere was even more eerie, and a strong uneasiness spread in the hearts of everyone. A few of the mercenaries even had the idea of turning around and running away. They are not afraid of ugly monsters, but this seemingly normal, but in fact weird place really tests people's nerves.

And the most timid Nangong Kui was already so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he really regretted not staying outside now. It's scary here......

Nangong Mingjing saw that everyone's mood was unstable, which was a precursor to the dissipation of morale, and found that he had said the wrong thing and made a big mistake. How could they shake everyone's will in such a way? They were already nervous after a series of fierce battles, and the slightest accident would make their hearts fluctuate. The heartstrings were too tight to break, and now they were on the verge of breaking.

"I said ......," Nangong Mingjing said as he tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Actually, this is normal!" Tianlan interrupted Nangong Mingjing's words and said, "Think about it, there are so many rotting corpses buried around here, and the corpse qi leaks out, how can ordinary birds and beasts live? ”

"As for these plants," he continued, "there will always be some plants that can adapt to corpse qi and absorb the flesh and blood nutrients from the ground, and naturally grow better. Don't think too much about it. ”

After he said this, they felt justified and nodded in agreement. After finding a suitable reason, everything didn't seem so weird, although there was still uneasiness, but the tendency of that person's heart to be distracted was invisibly destroyed. Only Nangong Kui was still scared, as if no matter how legitimate the reason was, as long as he was scared, he wouldn't listen.

Nangong Mingjing glanced at Tianlan gratefully, if it weren't for his words, I'm afraid there would be trouble next.
