Chapter 458: One Less

Outside the northern suburbs.

People are gearing up.

The exploration force was led by Yang Yu, the fourth master of the Yang family, plus more than a dozen guards, as well as three members from the Xuanmen Association, and Lin Chen naturally went with him.

With all preparations made, the people marched towards the shattered city ahead.

Everyone's face was extremely solemn.

As I got closer, I could clearly perceive the thick chill surging from the front, but as the distance between the two sides continued to close, I found that this feeling was disappearing.

Lin Chen had already experienced the same situation before, so he was still able to deal with the situation in front of him calmly, but the others were completely different.

I could clearly feel the intense tension that was surging from them.

Not only that, Lin Chen could also feel that a lot of eyes fell on him.

It was as if there was someone else here besides them.

Turning his head and looking around, there was no one around, and the distance between him and the camp was only a few dozen meters, but it seemed to be separated from the whole world.

Walking on the empty road, the feeling of loneliness comes naturally.

However, if you look closely, you can also detect an unusually small sound around you.

The grass and trees on both sides of the road were bent, and someone was following them.

Interesting.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, Lin Chen did not speak, and still followed Yang Yu and the others forward.

When the distance between him and that line was only a dozen meters, Yang Yu stopped, and his gaze fell on the people of the Xuanmen Association on the side.

"How?"

"There's not much of a problem yet, but if we go into the northern suburbs, we can't tell."

"Fourth Master, shall we continue?"

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yu glanced at the bent grass and trees around him, and snorted coldly and said, "Go on." ”

People moved forward again, slower than before, and before they knew it, the sky around them seemed to become strange, and the blazing light of the sun in the sky fell on them, not only did not bring the slightest warmth, but made people feel like they were in winter.

That feeling has made people's faces more and more ugly.

They had reached the edge of the shattered city.

The collapsed building in front of you cut off the way forward, and if you want to get around, you have to go into the dense forest on the side.

The woods were so deep that it was impossible to make out any passages, and when I looked over there, I had the feeling that it had turned into an abyss, waiting to swallow them up at any time and place.

People's expressions have been difficult to see to the extreme.

However, everyone also knows in their hearts that the more time they come, the more they can't give up.

The ultimate goal of their quest this time was to find a path to travel, if they couldn't even complete such a simple task, let alone enter the northern suburbs to find the tomb of King Gunna.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Yu's gaze fell on Lin Chen's body.

"Mr. Lin, you have rashly approached the northern suburbs before, have you ever found the way forward?"

Yang Yu's face was gloomy, and he could clearly perceive his heartfelt resistance to Lin Chen.

If he hadn't been too resistant to that dense forest in his heart, he would never have asked Lin Chen a question.

Lin Chen, who was in the corner of the team, smiled before he spoke: "There is also a way to enter the city ahead without passing through the dense forest, but are you sure you can trust me?" ”

There was even a hint of playfulness in the calm voice, and the moment the words fell, everyone's faces changed color.

There is no doubt that the two sides have been taking advantage of each other, and the trust between them is naturally very weak, especially under the premise of entering such a dangerous place, the slightest small problem may cause the collapse of trust between each other.

They didn't expect Lin Chen to say such a sentence at such a time.

Yang Yu's face was already gloomy to the extreme.

The feeling of oppression that wafted through the air had become thicker and thicker.

Invisibly, there was a cold wind fluttering in this midsummer season, and goosebumps rose at the same time for everyone present.

Yang Yu paused word by word, and his voice was gloomy: "What does Mr. Lin mean by this?" ”

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's just a casual remark, why is the fourth master so nervous." ”

There was still a smile in his eyes, and Yang Yu couldn't catch any abnormality from Lin Chen's face at all, as if it was just a harmless joke.

But in Yang Yu's heart, he never thought so.

The entire Yang family felt that Lin Chen was indeed a little smart, but in the face of the Yang family, his little caution had already been revealed, but in Yang Yu's opinion, the seemingly harmless man in front of him had always been very dangerous.

It's not just his strength, it's his mind.

Between the Yang family and Lin Chen, it is still unknown who is the hunter and who is the prey.

can see this, not that Yang Yu's scheming is deeper than Yang Yun, on the contrary, in this Yang family, Yang Yun has always sat behind the scenes to guide the country, and they are fighting on the battlefield outside.

And the reason why Yang Yu was able to see something different from others was because of his own strength.

As Lin Chen guessed, this one had already set foot in the Xiaoyao Mirror a year ago. happy

Now, although he is only based on the first realm of freedom, he can already have an almost instinctive intuition about some dangers.

In Yang Yu's eyes, Lin Chen was such a person who he instinctively felt dangerous.

Therefore, Yang Yu did not agree with the joke in his mouth.

However, Yang Yu was not a fool, he did not tear his face with Lin Chen at such a time, but slowly said: "Now is not the time to joke, if there is a way to avoid the dense forest and enter the northern suburbs, please ask Mr. Lin for some advice." ”

Lin Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to point forward.

Between the towering ancient trees, you can vaguely see the broken road, and the strange rocks bulge, blocking the road ahead, but between the collapsed stone pillars, there is a hole that Rong can pass through, and behind that is the square that originally belonged to the collapsed building, through that place, you can really enter the broken city.

The entrance was so hidden that it would have been impossible to spot unless it was very close.

It is understandable that everyone ignores it.

Yang Yu's eyes flashed, and then his gaze fell on the Xuanmen master on the side.

Several people looked at each other, and then nodded to Yang Yu.

"Come with me."

Yang Yu waved his hand and took the lead forward.

Lin Chen followed behind, bypassing the ancient wood, and everyone came to the front of the cave entrance.

Stopped, Yang Yu's gaze fell on Lin Chen again, "Mr. Lin, you should have seen that map, as far as we know, that map contains a detailed record of the route in the northern suburbs, although I am the leader of this exploration, but you still need to rely on your strength to really find the way to the tomb of King Guna." ”

"So, you'd better ask first."

Standing in front of the narrow and cramped hole, Yang Yu smiled and made a gesture of please.

Lin Chen was naturally able to understand Yang Yu's meaning, and what he said was high-sounding, but in essence, he was not afraid that he would have any conspiracy.

This Yang Yu is cautious.

Lin Chen didn't shirk, and went straight forward, entering the northern suburbs through the hole in Naxi Village.

Passing through the hole and into the broken square, the feeling of standing there is completely different from observing the northern suburbs from the outside.

At this moment, Lin Chen could clearly sense that intense weirdness.

Obviously, everything around me is very normal, but there is a kind of feeling as if it is not in the same world as before.

It's as if those legends are true.

At this moment, they have reached the realm of the dead.

There seemed to be a gloomy murderous intent wafting in the air, and if there was nothing, it could not be dissipated in the heart, and people came to the square, standing in the broken city, as if abandoned by the whole world.

The air was viscous, as if it was dripping all the time, and you could feel the suffocation feeling when you stood here.

People's eyes have already fallen on Yang Yu, and they are waiting for the decision of the fourth master of the Yang family.

Yang Yu looked at Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, what should I do next, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, Yang Yu realized that Lin Chen's brows were already furrowed, he looked around, and then said, "I suggest, turn around and go back immediately, your preparations are too simple." ”

When these words fell, everyone's faces already showed puzzled looks.

Yang Yu frowned and said, "What does Mr. Lin mean by this?" ”

Lin Chen didn't speak, just looked at the broken bar in the distance.

Between the dilapidated houses, figures flickered away.

The sudden change made the faces of everyone present change at the same time, and Yang Yu suddenly looked at the Xuanmen master on the side.

found that the faces of several people had become extremely ugly.

One of them took out his compass and said, "No, it's so wrong." ”

"The stars are displaced, we are now facing the Tai Sui Star, this is a great omen!"

As soon as these words fell, people's faces instantly became extremely gloomy.

An invisible fear enveloped everyone present.

No one spoke, and they could clearly perceive the thick and extremely oppressive feeling that permeated the air.

The air was getting thicker, and they could smell a faint sweet to greasy smell.

Except for a few masters from the Xuanmen, the rest are the elites of the Yang family, they have really seen blood, and they know better what it tastes like.

"This smell only comes from corpses when they begin to decompose, and someone has already entered the northern suburbs before we do."

Yang Yu's voice was extremely gloomy, and his face had become extremely gloomy.

The northern suburbs have always been the forbidden land of the Heavenly Province, even if the big names in several other urban districts have already started to act, they will definitely not enter the northern suburbs earlier than them, and it is too strange for this smell to appear.

Unless it's ......

Suddenly, Yang Yu turned his head to look at the people who had entered with him.

After carefully counting the number of people, Yang Yu's face instantly turned extremely pale.

One less.
