Chapter Forty-Six: A Strange Village

The morning glow is brilliant, and the mountain gate of Xuanyuan Peak is dyed golden by the morning light projected from the clouds.

A huge square with several snowwinged eagles ready to go. The dozen or so disciples who were selected in the Purple Peak Hall yesterday gathered here early.

Li Meng stared solemnly at Hua Yuncheng, Han Chen, Shen Yu and other disciples, his voice was like thunder, "This is your first time going out on a mission, I don't dare to guarantee that you will encounter danger." But I will do everything I can to protect you. If you don't want to go, you will be out of the queue immediately. ”

Naturally, no one will be a shrunken turtle at this time, this is a rare opportunity.

Li Meng nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand, and shouted, "Climb on the back of the snow-winged eagle, come out now!"

With the loud roar of the eagle, several snow-winged eagles flew into the sky in an orderly manner. The black shadows on the ground moved, and most of the disciples around the square who came to see each other off showed envious expressions.

"Hanchen is really amazing, he is a newcomer who has just come to the inner door. ”

"He's a monster. ”

"When he used to be at the outer gate, he was scolded every day for being a waste! I think those people in the past were blind. ”

Wu Jun, Xinlan, and Dawei watched Hanchen leave while exchanging their thoughts. Recalling the first time they looked at each other, Hanchen was like them, quenching his body sevenfold. But one was not careful, and they left him far away, and no one even saw how he advanced.

Outside the Purple Peak Hall, the Second Sect Leader Xuan Yingzi, the Great Elder, and several other high-level elders raised their eyes to look at the few snow-winged eagles that were fading away.

"Sect Master, that disciple named Hanchen, can you see what's different about him?" the Great Elder muttered as his lips moved slightly.

"Nope. Xuan Yingzi replied lightly, "He is very ordinary, I am still wondering, how could Elder Mu recommend him to me?"

"Hehe, not only Elder Mu, but even Elder Songhe, also asked me to pay more attention to that kid. ”

"Oh, yes?"

"I forgot to tell you that he was just a newcomer who had just entered the inner door. ”......

Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters. Riding on a snowfinch eagle and looking down on the mountains below is a real treat.

Hanchen naturally rode a snow-winged eagle with Shenyu, and the two talked and laughed, but they also seemed happy and satisfied. However, this is somewhat surprising to the other fellow students. Everyone thought to themselves, how did Hanchen deceive Shenyu. Since that kid entered the inner door, he has beaten his senior brother and soaked his senior sister, and it is difficult not to get people's attention.

"Deep Rain, do you know the situation in the Psychedelic Forest?" Han Chen asked.

"I know a little, but I don't know much. ”

"Tell me about it, then. ”

"Hmm!" Shen Yu nodded, his big eyes rolled slightly, organized his words, and replied, "There are many magical beasts living in the psychedelic forest. It is almost isolated from the outside world, and in the outlying areas, there are a small number of local residents. I've also heard that there are quite a few natives in the interior of the forest!"

"Oh, living with Warcraft, those natives must be very strong?"

"It's not!" Shen Yu smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, "If they are very strong, how can the Great Elder send us over?" I think their strongest strength will not pass the Martial Realm. ”

Hanchen couldn't help but be stunned, indeed, the strongest in the team was the fierce of the three divisions of the martial realm. On the surface, it is equivalent to the combat power of a seventh-level demonic beast. It can be seen that the psychedelic forest is not very dangerous in the eyes of outsiders.

However, will the innate vision, the Shaking Star, really be free of danger?

The snowfinch eagle is extremely fast and flies day and night. And all the rest was on the back of the eagle. At night, the deep rain snuggled in Hanchen's arms, sleeping like a cute kitten. A faint smile rose at the corner of Hanchen's mouth, and his heart was filled with simple happiness.

Li Meng guided the correct route on the snow-winged eagle at the front, and some of the other disciples were chatting, while others were closing their eyes and recuperating.

The bright night sky, the starry sky! The shaking star, scattered with a reddish light, like the eyes of a fierce beast, through the clouds, coldly scanned everyone.

After nearly a month of flying, the psychedelic forest finally appeared in everyone's sight. From afar, the towering trees are black and oppressive. The roars and roars of the monsters came one after another.

"Everyone, pay attention, it's going to fall. Li Meng reminded everyone loudly.

With the sharp chirping of the eagle, the snow-winged eagle lowered to a place about seven or eight meters on the ground, and took the lead and jumped down first, and the others followed suit.

The soft soil and the moist smell of the mountains and forests greet you. Li Meng first asked the snowwing eagles to go to forage for food, and then came back after receiving his order.

Fourth- and fifth-level demonic beasts have a high IQ that is not low! Especially after being domesticated by the sect, it is easier to accept the information conveyed by humans. Under the fierce signal, the snowfinch eagle 66 continued to leave. The crowd also arrived at the outskirts of the psychedelic forest smoothly.

Towering trees shade the sun, and the forest reveals an oppressive atmosphere.

"Fierce Dharma Protector, where are we going now?" asked a young female disciple, dressed in pink and holding a beautiful sword studded with red gems in her hand. Her name is Li Yun, and she is also a well-known and excellent person in the inner gate.

Li Meng glanced at Li Yun, and then swept around, "First find a village nearby to find out about the recent situation in the psychedelic forest." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

A team of more than a dozen people, stretching in one direction. On the way, they encountered some small first- and second-level demonic beasts, and everyone was not interested in hunting them. After nearly a month of traveling, I wanted to find a place to take a good rest.

"Look, there's a village there. A sharp-eyed disciple showed the situation and cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked at the past, and sure enough, they saw that hundreds of meters ahead, an earthy yellow village was located there, and a moving figure could be vaguely seen.

Without much thought, Li Meng led everyone towards that side. Looking closer, it is now a small village with about 30 families. The simple earthen house shows the local atmosphere.

Many disciples frowned, Li Yunxiu frowned, and muttered in a dissatisfied voice, "It's just this kind of place!

"It's just that I've been tired for a month, and I can't find a better place to rest. Another young man chimed in.

Hearing their complaints, Li fiercely glared at each other, and reprimanded, "What are you doing? It's a mission, and it's too late to regret it. ”

The few people who spoke just now almost jumped up without being frightened, and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

Hanchen shook his head secretly in his heart, and looked sideways at the deep rain next to him. To his surprise, Shenyu's face did not show any complaint, but there was still a little expectation, smart big eyes, looking around.

Everyone walked towards the village, and the villagers who were active at this time stopped their movements one after another and turned their eyes to this side one by one.

"It's fierce, from Xuanyuan Peak. I don't know where the manager of your village is?" asked a middle-aged man in his forties. However, what puzzled him was that the other party did not answer, but just looked at Hanchen and his party coldly.

"This big brother, I wonder if you can answer the next question?"

Li Meng tried to say it again. But the result was still the same, and no one in the nearly 30 or so villagers in front of him spoke. Keep your eyes on them.

This is the first time I have seen this situation. Behind him, Li Yun, Hua Yuncheng and other disciples were all confused. Even if the people of this village don't welcome them, they should say something. But now they are standing in place like wooden people, which is really incomprehensible.

"They're so weird, do they want to scare us to death with their eyes?" said Shen Yu in a low voice.

Hanchen furrowed his brows, carefully observing the villagers, and couldn't help but see that they all looked dull, their eyes were empty and lackluster. Each wooden one is like a sculpture puppet.

"Could it be that they,"

Just as Li Meng was about to make the next round of inspection, an old man with staggering, hunched back, and a wrinkled face walked towards this side. And behind him, there was a boy about seven or eight years old. The boy was thin, pale, and his big eyes were full of panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, but I'm the head of this village. The old man's voice was hoarse, but the words were quite clear.

Finally saw a normal person, his brows stretched out, and he walked over and saluted with his fists, "I have inadvertently disturbed your village, and I hope the village chief will forgive me." ”

"My lord's words are serious, there are guests coming, and the village is naturally full of splendor, where is there any reason to disturb. ”

Hanchen, Shenyu and the others secretly thought to themselves, this village chief is quite good at talking. But seeing that Li Meng nodded politely, he immediately pointed to the surrounding villagers and said, "Village chief, don't you know them?"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The old village chief waved his hand, and the surrounding villagers were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were expressionless, and they turned back and started to busy themselves again. It's as if what happened just now doesn't exist.

"Everyone, if there's anything going on, let's go to the humble house first! I'm a small village, I haven't had a guest for a long time, please inside, please inside. ”

Seeing the village chief's hospitable appearance, Li Meng was embarrassed to refuse. Immediately took the disciples behind him and accompanied the village chief to the other party's residence.

A moment later, in a relatively wide living room, the old village chief beckoned him to sit down violently, his movements trembling and his steps staggering, as if the wind could blow him down with a gentle blow.

Hanchen, deep rain, Huayun City, Li Yun and others stood on both sides. And the little boy who followed the old village chief was curled up at the foot of a wall, as if he didn't want to communicate with others.

"That's my grandson, who had a serious illness when he was a child, and as a result, he was delirious, and now he is afraid when he sees the living. The old village chief muttered.

Everyone was moved, and immediately retracted their gaze and turned to the old village chief again. Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the point, "Village Chief, we are from Xuanyuan Peak, and we want to know a little about the situation from you." ”

The old village chief didn't seem to have any concept of Xuan Yuanfeng, and his complexion didn't change very much, so he just nodded, "Just ask, if you have anything, as long as I know, I will sue you." ”

The other party's cooperation made Li Meng's heart slightly happy, "May I ask the village chief, has there been any major incident in the psychedelic forest recently?"

"Nope. The village chief shook his head, "Our village has always been peaceful. ”

"Are there any other weird things?"

"Hehe, that's even more so. ”

Just these two answers, I couldn't help but make Li Meng's heart sink a little, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought. And Hua Yuncheng, who was behind him, suddenly spoke, "Village Chief, forgive me. Outside, the villagers didn't seem to welcome us. ”

Hua Yuncheng had something to say, and everyone heard it, and their attention was focused on the village chief. The latter sighed, and a little grief welled up in his cloudy old eyes.

"Well, all outsiders think our village is very strange. In fact, living in this isolated place, no matter how normal a person is, will become abnormal. It's that we've been cut off from the outside world for so long that their minds have become numb. That's why I don't want to communicate with people. ”

After listening to the words of the old village chief, everyone present was moved. When I think about it, I really think their fate is quite sad.

Next, Li Meng asked some other questions. The village chief also answered one by one, but there was almost no useful information. In desperation, Li Meng only planned to stay in the village temporarily and make plans for the next step.

For everyone to live here, the village chief is also very enthusiastic, there are more vacant rooms, and there is not enough place.

In the middle of the night, a crescent moon shrouded thick dark clouds. The night in the village was as silent as death. Not even a single bark. All you can hear is the roar of the monsters in the depths of the jungle. In a place like ZΓ i, the spirit is in a state of tension all the time.

On the sleepless night, Hanchen stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bleak sky, and a trace of sadness hit his heart.

"Hanchen, why haven't you slept yet?"

There was a hint of surprise in the soft voice, and the deep rain in the hazy night was even more beautiful. The long show was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a white evening dress, like a fairy in the sky.

Hanchen smiled, "Aren't you too?"

"Hmm!" Shenyu pouted and said helplessly, "I don't dare to sleep, there are cockroaches and rats in the room." ”

Rural earthen houses are naturally indispensable to these "evil" creatures. At first, I could hear the screams of several female disciples from time to time.

"What about you, why haven't you slept, are you also afraid of mice?"

"It's not. Hanchen shook his head, his dark eyes showing depth, "I'm thinking about that little boy I saw during the day." ”

"What's wrong with him, little boy?"

His eyes were full of screams and distress signals. ”

Shen Yu couldn't help but be stunned, his red lips pursed lightly, and he looked at each other in surprise. Hanchen's expression was a little complicated, "He's very pitiful, and don't you think the village chief is very strange?"

"What's strange?

"What he said today is really full of loopholes. He would say that all outsiders thought the village was strange. After a while, he said that this place was isolated from the world, and everyone's thinking was numb. This obviously doesn't make sense, the people who live here deal with Warcraft every day, and it stands to reason that they should be very cautious and strong. Here, however, the opposite is true. ”

Hearing Hanchen's explanation, Shenyu fell silent, and things began to get confusing again. It's only the first day of coming, and I have encountered this kind of annoyance, and I don't know what to expect later.

"Who is it?" Han Chen shouted in a deep voice, his eyes swept around a corner in front of him, only to see a black shadow running out quickly.

"It's that kid. Shenyu said in surprise.

Hanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a decision in an instant, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

The two followed, and the night was dark, and soon they saw a child in front of them running away in a panic, staggering, and it was really worrying that he might fall at any time.

However, his foot strength is obviously not as good as Hanchen and Shenyu, and in just a few blinks of an eye, Hanchen is in front of him. The boy shrank back in fright, and as soon as he turned around, he wanted to run back. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the deep rain again, and his frightened expression covered the pale little face, and his feet accidentally slipped, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Don't, don't come, don't come. The boy held his head in his hands and curled it up like an ugly lobster.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Shen Yu comforted softly, trying to help the other party up, but he seemed to be even more frightened.

Hanchen squatted down and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we really won't hurt you." ”

The two persuaded for a long time, and the other party stabilized their relationship a little. But his eyes were still full of fear. It was as if the cold and the deep rain were monsters that could eat people, making them tremble.

"What's your name?" Hanchen asked.

The boy didn't answer, still panicking. In this case, Hanchen suddenly felt a headache, and originally wanted to seek a breakthrough from the child, but now it seems that it is not very good.

At this moment, Shenyu flipped through his palm and took out a small paper bag. When you open it, you get a strong smell of pastry. Hanchen couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this the pastry of Linxing City's "Piaoxiang Building"?

"Kid, do you want to eat it?" Shen Yu put the pastry in front of the boy.

The boy swallowed visibly and nodded timidly. Shen Yu smiled slightly, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in the other party's hand. "Quick, try it. ”

The boy shrunk down, put the pastry in his mouth, first tasted it in a small bite, then stuffed it all into his mouth, and ate it in large gulps.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Hmm!"

"Do you still want to eat it?" said Shen Yu with a shallow smile, his big eyes crooked as cute as a crescent moon. The boy nodded.

"Well, you just have to answer some questions from my sister. I'll give you all these pastries, okay?"

It was easy for the child to be coaxed, and after a brief distraction, the boy nodded again. A hint of naughtiness flashed between Shen Yuxiu's eyebrows, and Chong Hanchen blinked proudly. Hanchen was secretly amused, thinking that when Shenyu was a child, Patriarch Pu Yuelin probably used this trick to coax her.

"You tell Sister SΓΉ first, what's your name?"

"Shi, Shi Lei. The boy replied quietly.

"Shi Lei. Well, yes, this pastry is yours. Shenyu encouraged him and gave him a piece of mung bean cake.

Shi Lei didn't expect to get the delicious food so easily, and there was a rare expression of joy on his face. The gloomy eyes are also a little more shiny. Shen Yu didn't ask again immediately, but waited for the other party to finish the pastry.

At this time, Shi Lei also understood that the two of them were not bad people, and they were not as scared as they were just now.

"Okay, Shi Lei, let's continue to ask, answer the questions, and have something to eat. Okay, okay?"

"Good. ”

Hanchen admired the five-body throw to the ground and quietly gave a thumbs up. A smile flashed between Shen Yuxiu's eyebrows, and then said to Shi Lei, "Xiao Shi Lei, is there something going on in the village, why have everyone else become like that?"

Hearing this, horror appeared on Shi Lei's face again. Hanchen hurriedly patted the other party's back lightly, and comforted him, "It's okay, with my brothers and sisters, we will protect you." ”

With the encouragement of the two, Shi Lei's lips moved slightly, and he finally began to tell the truth. "The village, the uncles and aunts in the village, all, all of them are dead, dead. I saw them all dead. ”

Dead?Hanchen, Shenyu's face changed, and those villagers who saw it during the day?

Shi Lei continued, "Later, then somehow. Again, again, alive, alive again. I'm scared, I'm so scared. ”

Dead and alive again? This sentence made the two confused, could it be that someone used some method to make the dead look like that?

"Who did it, who killed them?" asked Hanchen nervously.

"Blame, monster. A scary monster. Shi Lei grabbed Hanchen's arm tightly in fright, and his nails were about to sink into his flesh. Hanchen clearly felt the fear in the other party's body.

"The monster killed the whole village, and Grandpa and I hid under the bed and hid. Grandpa told me that the monster would come back, only stay in the village honestly, and don't tell anyone else about it, and the monster won't kill us. ”

Xiao Shi Lei's words are a little incoherent, but the general meaning can still be clearly distinguished. I think the old village chief was afraid of the monster and didn't dare to tell about it.

But what kind of monster could it be, bringing disaster to a village! In the outer area of this psychedelic forest, the highest-level magical beast will not pass the third level.

Moreover, during the day, there were no obvious scars on the bodies of those villagers, and the cause of death was not to be bitten to death by fierce beasts.

"What does that monster look like?"

"It's, it's scary. I, I can't remember, I can't remember. Shi Lei hugged his head with a painful look.

"Okay, okay, Shi Lei is good, don't be afraid, there are brothers and sisters here, it's okay. Deep rain gave all the pastries to the other party, "These are all for you." ”

Looking at the colorful pastries in front of him, Shi Lei's feelings relaxed slightly, "Thank you, thank you, sister." I, I want to leave it for grandpa to eat. ”

The child's most sincere emotion, the deep rain and the cold are all sour noses. The people in this village are so pitiful. What could that monster be that killing?
