Chapter 41: The Law of the Dark Forest

After all, they are all monks, and they are the ones in a thousand. Once you find a shortcut to your cultivation, you will be left behind all the dangers, and if you really succeed in your cultivation, it will not be too difficult to cross the star field, so you naturally don't have to worry about not being able to go back.

Fang Xiaotang understood, perhaps, this may be the nature of the monk, in order to become stronger, fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fight with people, the fun is endless!

However, after all, they are light-oriented creatures, and if they can't see their fingers, they won't have any desire to explore, but now it is a good opportunity to get in touch with the outside world and understand the outside world.

"There must be no more crises." Someone whispered that it was hard for them to muster up the courage to take the first step, and if they were really in danger, it would cause many people to retreat.

However, at the moment they had no choice but to challenge the darkness.

"In any case, I still hope to overcome the darkness and find an opportunity to leave."

Everyone went up the cliff, and in front of them was a vast plain, and they followed here, stepping into the distant realm.

"I don't know much about the things in this place, but there is a point in the New Book of the World-Honored One, that in a strange world, there is always a law of the dark forest. As long as we don't expose ourselves, the danger will always be against the creatures on the surface. Even if there is light in the distance, we should be cautious, not to reveal our identity, and to integrate into the world as soon as possible. ā€

Dian Qicang is the most cautious among all the people, and it is not unreasonable for him to put forward the statement.

Dian Reincarnation was also very calm, and nodded affirmatively: "You're right, since that direction is not far from us." Then we can let two people explore the way for us first, and we can sweep the formation from the side, just in case, this is the safest way. ā€

Several others agreed with him, after all, darkness and the unknown were the greatest danger to them, and in such a situation, it was impossible to be too cautious.

However, who to send there is a big question. No one treats their lives as child's play, so naturally they will not use others as guns.

"Sneer......"

Suddenly, a violent vibration sounded, and the nine-story demon tower behind him rumbled and shook, looking at the posture, it seemed that he was going to leave at any time.

If the nine-story demon tower rises from the ground, all of them will be left behind in this ancient star, how can this not make everyone panic?

"What's going on? What's wrong with the good nine-story demon tower!" Many people were terrified, and their faces changed.

"I seem to hear the rustle of the relief falling to the ground, no...... I—I may have actually seen it, the relief came alive. A man on the side of the nine-story demon tower, whose hands were trembling, suddenly said this.

"It's the bone relief!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they had to understand that the relief had existed for two eras of lacquered copper buildings, and there was no such technique in this era.

Once the antiquities are transformed into demons like this, it is a huge threat to everyone, and it is very terrifying.

"Don't speculate, the relief fell to the ground, most likely because of the collision just now that caused the nine-story demon tower to be unstable, and the collision with the relief will cause it to fall off, which is not a strange force at all. It must have changed at first, not a demon, yes. Que Sichen was able to say this calmly at first, but from the corners of his beating eyes, it could be seen that his heart was obviously not so calm, but these words comforted the panic of everyone present.

Nine-story high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, like palaces, not less than a thousand feet high, and the position where they were trapped just now is only the lowest level, it is hard to imagine what kind of situation the top floor will have.

"Wow!"

At this time, a large black bird one foot high suddenly flew down from the sky, which was naturally not a crow.

But its feathers were like arrows, exuding bursts of calm aura, and there was a little black light on it, and it fell to the top of the nine-story demon tower.

For some reason, the blackbird's pupils were full of solemnity, as if a king was watching everyone present.

And the white bone relief fell on the ground of the first layer of the nine-story demon tower, just pressing the core position of the Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram, as if the wind had cut life and death. And the hideous lines, as well as the bare bones, are very disturbing and even more frightening.

"I don't think we'd better stay here. It's better to explore the distant region, maybe we can find some clues, and it will also be of some help for us to leave this place. ā€

"In such a dangerous and unknown situation, I also think we can deal with it together."

Most of the people put forward such a suggestion, and it can be seen that they are very scared and want to choose to compromise, even if the strength is not weak, they did not stubbornly speak at this time, and they echoed it one after another.

After all, no one wants to stay here for long. As for who will be expected to explore alone, it is even more improbable.

In the end, after their deliberations, they decided to go all out and look for a way out in a distant land.

However, not everyone has the idea of leaving, and more hopes to gain something here, after all, there are never many opportunities to increase their strength in this way.

If you miss this time, you don't know how long it will take to come to such a treasure place next time, and some people don't even think about leaving here in the first place. Naturally, they do not have any hopes or expectations for finding a way out.

Surprisingly, though, not a single person objected to finding a path out. After all, it's safe to work together right now.

Even if you have some ideas, there is no need to expose your careful thoughts so early, but mix in the team, spend a period of calm time first, and then make your own plans.

The soil here is very fertile, mostly black and red humusy soil, with many bands of rocks, which looks desolate, and there are actually many lush plants, but most of them are thorns. If ordinary people want to cross this territory, it is really very difficult.

Right now, it's empty, very deserted, and not a bit popular. Except for the occasional encounter with a small number of fierce beasts, they don't need to be afraid of anything.

In the mountains and forests, apes and tigers roar, and the night is another world.

Many jackals, which do not seem to be very fierce in the daytime, are truly terrifying when their eyes light up in the night, in the infinite darkness.

Because of the darkness of the night, people cannot obtain reliable information through their normal senses, but the beasts have no such concerns. Due to the asymmetry of information, even monks do not dare to walk alone in the dark, which should be avoided as much as possible.

However, today is different, Fang Xiaotang and other people chose to attack in the dark, it is not unreasonable, if they stay where they are, nothing may happen, and they may not encounter any danger.

However, after all, the best time to explore was missed. What's more, the white bone relief inside the nine-story demon tower, who dares to be sure that it will not wake up? Is it really tranquility that waits in place?

Perhaps, death!

When he stepped on the boulder that he was looking at in the distance, Mo Guming suddenly exclaimed: "Come here, there seems to be a real light source in the distance, it seems that it is really a village, we are saved." ā€

"Don't be happy so early, don't make a noise. If you die, don't take us with you. Another old friar's words were unpleasant, but they were telling everyone that he was more experienced and knew what would be most helpful for the present situation.

After leaving a tall mound, one did see a small village ahead.

In the deserted village, it is very peaceful, and there is no movement at all. Different from the architectural style of the city, the construction of the village is high and low, some are in groups of three or five, and some are single-handed.

And the closer it is to the entrance of the village, the denser it is; The closer you get to the forest, the more sparse it becomes.

However, it is very quiet at the moment, and it seems that the reason for the night is that there is no popularity here, and it is very deserted.

Seven or eight scattered earthen huts were built on both sides of the fields, and a one-zhang wide stream ran through the village, all the way to the north, and I don't know where it flowed into the distance.

All of them are sparse and sparse, located in all directions, all of them, and there is no particular attention at all.

However, in the middle of the north and south, it is divided by a regular cross-shaped mountain road. On weekends, farmers set up stalls here, and this is the simplest street market.

Fang Xiaotang and the others quietly slipped into this deserted village, but their so-called "quietly" still made a lot of noise in this small village, especially at the moment, it was so quiet, it was even clearer.

The strange thing is that after such an obvious sound, no one came out to greet the visitors from afar.

"Is there no one here? No......" One stepped into the house in front of the village, reached out and knocked on the door and window, and yelled a few words at the inside.

The words were heard far and wide under the night sky, but for half an hour, there was no response.

"Is there no one here?" Seeing that no one responded, she spoke again, and the abrupt echo startled herself.

"Woo~Woo~"

However, the deserted village was still silent, without any sound, as if the echo just now was just her illusion.

"Did you hear that?"

"Alright, it looks like a deserted village, don't stand in the way here."

The man who followed him also turned cold, ignored her, and walked straight into the village.

The others followed his gesture and broke into pieces, sneaking into the village to take a look.

Every place was checked, and all the residential areas were not spared, and the search was very careful.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, a girl inadvertently bumped into a stone shelf where bacon was hung, and the two handles of the stone shelf broke directly and landed with a crisp sound.

All of a sudden, seven or eight eyes quickly glanced at this place, Fang Xiaotang walked up, picked up the stone handle and looked at it again, his face was solemn.

He carefully touched the fractured position, and there was a little more thin milky white stone powder in his palm, and it could be seen that the stone frame had been decaying for a long time.

"It seems that this deserted village has been around for a long time, something is wrong, have you found any traces here? It stands to reason that this is located on the avenue, and it can't be uninhabited, but ......"

Speaking of which, Fang Xiaotang didn't continue, it turned out that she felt that she had no way to justify herself.

The cultivators who had gathered looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, they just shook their heads blindly, obviously not finding anything.

"There really isn't a single person in this deserted village." One of the monks raised his head and glanced up and down a few times, "You go back and search for a while, if there is no problem here, we can stay here for a few days, after all, in the middle of the night, it is too dangerous to go out further." ā€

At this time, people also suddenly realized that such a desolate village is more likely to be due to a messy accident, and all the people in the deserted village have left here, and there is nothing abnormal about choosing to relocate or even flee.
