Chapter 45: A Strange Town

After running for three days in a row, Lin Hao came to a small town called Wumias.

Three hundred miles further north from this town is the border of the Donglan Kingdom.

After a few days of traveling, Lin Hao's body and mind were a little tired, and he needed to rest in the town.

As it was nearly night, there were only three or three people walking along the town's paths, but they all seemed to be hurrying towards their homes.

Lin Hao led the horses to an inn, although the lights were still bright, but the inn was closed, and in front of the inn there was a wooden basin, in which there were some remnants of the dead coins that had not yet been burned.

Lin Hao was a little strange, could it be that the relatives of this inn had died.

He knocked on the door anyway and said, "Is there anyone?"

There was silence, and no sound could be heard from the inn.

Seeing that no one responded, Lin Hao couldn't break in directly, so he led the horse and walked out.

"Young man~"

The old man's voice came from the side, Lin Hao looked sideways, and saw an old man standing in front of a room looking at Lin Hao with a smile.

"Old man, is there anything wrong with you?" Lin Hao stopped and asked with some confusion.

"Young man, I think you are a foreigner, the owner of the inn is sick and died today, so he will not open the door, if it is late today, it is better for you to stay at my house." The old man waved his hand at Lin Hao enthusiastically and motioned for Lin Hao to come over.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the inn was closed again, and seeing that the old man invited him, Lin Hao nodded slightly apologetically: "Then disturb the old man." ”

Lin Hao tied the horse to the tree in front of the house, and then followed the old man into the house.

Lin Hao sat on the chair beside him, stroking the Qingyun wolf in his hand, he looked at the old man, and asked a little strangely: "Old man, why did the residents of the town walk in a hurry when I came in just now?"

"Because in our case, when someone dies, you must return home at night, otherwise the deceased will drag you to the Yellow Spring. ”

Lin Hao smiled helplessly, he didn't believe in these things, after a person dies, his body and spirit are destroyed, and only a strong person can leave a wisp of soul to pin on other things before he dies.

"I've always been alone, and today I have you to relieve my boredom with this bad old man, thank you so much, young man. The old man took out a pot of white wine and drank it with Lin Hao.

After thirty years of drinking, the sky has darkened, the old man's face is a little red because of the upsurge of wine, he said to Lin Hao: "Young man, no one has been drinking with me for a long time, today is really happy, it's late, you rest early, old man, I'll go to bed first." ”

After packing up the wine utensils, the old man opened the door of the room, and he turned back and said, "In the middle of the night, no matter what sound you hear outside, don't check it, and sleep well." With that, he went into the house.

Lin Hao was a little strange, but he still lay down, and he fell asleep in less than a moment after three days of hard work.

In the middle of the night, gusts of wind whistled, and the sound of windows lapping on the eaves kept ringing.

"Woo~"

Outside, strange howls kept coming, and messy footsteps walked outside the house, as if there were many people walking in the street.

Baa~

Outside the house there was a sudden cry of the horses, followed by the sound of the ropes being pulled violently on the tree, and the sound of the horses falling silent as there was a tearing sound.

Lin Hao, who was asleep, was awakened by the cry of the horse, he rubbed his confused eyes, he wanted to get up and watch, but his heart remembered what the old man said to him.

"What the hell is weird about this town. ”

The more Lin Hao thought about it, the more strange it became, the unknown things can promote the desire to see in people's hearts, driven by curiosity, Lin Hao opened a crack in the window and looked out.

The sight of his steed falling to the ground surrounded by a group of hideous-looking men tearing at the flesh of the horses and shoving them into their mouths.

The group was not alive, and their flesh had rotted, some of them even showing bones, just like some of the corpses in the graves.

Lin Hao's eyes were shocked, his face was a little pale, it was the first time he had seen a dead person who could act.

"I told you not to pay attention to things outside in the middle of the night, why didn't you listen. A gloomy voice came from behind.

Lin Hao turned his head and saw that the old man was standing behind him, his face a little pale under the faint moonlight.

Before Lin Hao could react, a black aura emanated from the old man's body, and his palm grabbed towards Lin Hao.

The spiritual energy in the Spirit Lake erupted, and the blood-colored aura gathered on the palm, and Lin Hao blasted towards the attacking palm.

Bang!

Lin Hao was smashed directly out of the house, the wall was stepped on in an instant, and the Qingyun Wolf was woken up by this sound, and when he saw Lin Hao being blown away, its claws grabbed towards the old man.

The old man didn't even look at Qingyun Wolf, his palm slapped quickly, and a wave of air blew out, and Qingyun Wolf was directly slapped out.

When the corpses heard this loud noise, they turned their heads one by one, and when they saw Lin Hao, they were like hungry wolves seeing food, and they pounced on Lin Hao fiercely.

Lin Hao's inner shock was surging like a wave, and at the moment of confrontation with the old man, he sensed an aura that was not weaker than Dong Lancang, and it was obvious that this old man was also in the realm of blood.

There was a strange scream in his ears, and the corpse had already pounced towards him, Lin Hao raised his hand and punched a corpse away, and then grabbed it with his right hand and quickly retreated backwards with the Qingyun wolf.

The body that was knocked away was not broken by him as Lin Hao imagined, it only struggled on the ground a few times, and then got up again as if it had not been hurt in any way.

The look of shock on Lin Hao's face was a little stronger, he was very confident in his strength, this punch was not a physical body, even a huge stone he could shatter, but that corpse was unharmed.

didn't have time to think about it, Lin Hao quickly retreated, although he was very strong, but he was not the opponent of the old man, in the face of the old man, he had to escape.

"Want to go?"

There was a hint of mockery in the old man's eyes, the strength of the Blood Refining Realm wanted to escape from him was tantamount to whimsy, he jumped in his footsteps, and chased after Lin Hao who was ten meters away at an extremely fast speed, and with the wave of his palm, he brought up a black qi and grabbed Lin Hao again.

Feeling the dangerous aura coming from behind him, Lin Hao didn't say a word, and the aura in his body converged and his fist turned blood-red, and he punched out towards the back.

"Sweep through a thousand armies!"

The first blow that swept through the thousand armies collided with the old man's palm, and a force passed into his palm, and under the impetus of this force, Lin Hao jumped forward dozens of meters.

The old man only felt a pain coming from the palm of his hand, and when he raised his hand, his fingers were slightly bent, and it was obvious that the bones of his hand had been broken.

He didn't expect that he would actually be injured by a person in the middle level of the Blood Refining Realm, his face was furious, and the black qi around him condensed into a black arrow in midair.

The sharp arrows spun rapidly in the air, bringing a huge wind around them.

"Whoosh"

The arrow shot out quickly!

Sensing the sound of breaking the sky behind him, a strong sense of crisis came to Lin Hao's heart, and the hair on his back instantly stood up.

"Am I going to die here?"

The speed of the sharp arrow was too fast, Lin Hao's eyes showed a look of despair, and he didn't have time to dodge at all.

Seeing that the sharp arrow was about to pierce Lin Hao's back, the old man was already fantasizing about the scene of Lin Hao being penetrated.

At this critical moment, a green shield flew quickly from a distance and blocked behind Lin Hao.

The sharp arrow hit the shield with a loud roar, and the huge wave that blew the tiles on the surrounding roofs to the ground, the roar dissipated, and there was a click sound from the shield, and after a while, the energy was exhausted and dissipated into the air.

"Saved!"

Lin Hao let out a sigh of relief, that was the closest moment he was to death just now.
