Chapter Eighty-Four: The Second Man

The atmosphere in Yefu was not very harmonious, it was eerie, and the sound of heavy rain could not hide the creaking of bones.

Standing in the courtyard, Ye Feifei obviously felt that things were a little beyond his expectations.

There are small rocky hills (rockeries) all around the courtyard, except for a few weeds, like larger plants and shrubs. Between the small rock mountain and the small stone mountain is a thick spider web, and many water droplets hang on the web, and it can be seen that the courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time.

Through the spider web, Ye Feifei saw the gray spiders hiding in the potholes on Xiaoshishan's body, which were about the size of a soybean, but they gave people a strange feeling, as if they were sapient.

"Not a poisonous spider...... They may have lived here for so long, perhaps because they have some specialty, otherwise those ominous ones would not have left their lives. Ye Feifei muttered to himself, realizing that the existence of spiders was a little abnormal, he knew that no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat, and those who were ominous would not understand this truth.

Spiders may be useful to them, is it by the spider web to judge the intruder?

Since Lanxing came over, Ye Feifei naturally remembered a lot of things about chatting about strange things, and he estimated in his heart that the little spider might be their eyeliner, and he was better not to startle the snake.

The brief description of the side quest suggests that there will be bone sounds, and with the sound that has been echoing in his ears, Ye Feifei speculates about what kind of creature is chewing on bones, or grinding teeth with bones.

The quest hints that the biggest danger is underground, Ye Fu is just a bewilderment smoke bomb on the surface, and he needs to find the entrance to the secret passage.

"There may be a group of imprisoned people underground." Thinking of the 'Do you believe some people are still alive' in the mission, Ye Feifei had a bold assumption.

Those who broke the taboo were suppressed underground and then lied to the outside that they were missing......

In the rain, Ye Feifei still walked without sound, the effect of the silent boots was too rebellious, and he used the fusion coupons obtained by the lottery to fuse some special props...... Even if you walk in the room soaking wet, you won't make any sound.

After wandering around Xiaoshishan for a while, Ye Feifei found that his left foot had fallen into a pothole.

Lifting his feet, Ye Feifei squatted on the ground to check, the pothole was actually a deep mark, the mark was recessed, and it was also filled with water, and it couldn't be seen if you didn't pay special attention.

"It's footprints!"

The outline of the imprint is large, as if it was left by some kind of sole, a little larger than the sole of his own shoe, and the depth of the footprint is also five centimeters, and the other party's body is very heavy.

Fatso? Or is it a muscular man?

Following the direction of the shoe print, Ye Feifei saw another footprint that was not too large.

Gradually following the direction of the footprints, Ye Feifei came to a pond one or two acres large, and the shoe prints disappeared by the pond.

Diving?

The pond is green, the bottom of the pond is invisible, Ye Feifei has no intention of going down, and most of the ponds on thunderstorms are not very safe, so this matter can only be explored during the day.

The thunderstorm nights in Tianzi City were extremely frequent, Ye Feifei hesitated and put his hand into the shoe prints on the ground and groped, and the bottom mud was not very soft...... The shoe prints were recent, and the friction between the fingers and the bottom had a sandy roughness.

Ye Feifei's mood began to get nervous, he had some bad premonitions in his heart, but the touch of his hand on the bottom of the shoe print showed that the footprint would not appear for more than half an hour.

It rained at ten o'clock tonight, and it had been an hour by about midnight, and the earthy texture of the courtyard was sandy...... After more than an hour of soaking, some silt has formed at the bottom, but there is no silt texture in the water-filled footprints.

Someone infiltrated the Ye Mansion before Ye Feifei, and it is likely that they have been in the Ye Mansion all along.

Is there something under the water that attracts him?

Has your whereabouts been revealed?

Today's decision to come to Yefu was made temporarily, and even the shopkeeper didn't know his plan, and the other forces wouldn't know about it, and the possibility of the footprints being attracted was very low.

The man is still underwater!

Where did he come from?

With curiosity, Ye Feifei had the motivation to retreat silently following the footprints from where he came, while still squinting at the pond...... He always felt an eye on him, perhaps from the pond.

The shoe prints began to appear in front of a room with a broken lock and a patina, but the door was ajar.

Carefully pushing open the door, Ye Feifei walked in.

The room was an offering table and a futon, surrounded by dense cobwebs, and there were several holes in the roof from which water was dripping, and the stone brick floor of the house was wet.

There was no hole on the top of the table, but there were some water stains on the table, and there was even a drop of dried blood on it.

There was a candlestick on each side of the offering table, and the solidified candle liquid was large enough to cover the base, but the candle oil around the wick was semi-solidified.

Reaching out and touching the candle liquid, it was soft inside, and there was a little residual warmth.

What did he do here? Is it some kind of ritual?

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feifei touched the dried blood with his hand and sniffed it in front of his nose.

The smell of rust was mixed with a hint of blood, and the origin of this drop of blood was very strange.

Seeing that there were no other clues in the house, Ye Feifei thought for a while, and planned to withdraw slowly, but out of the corner of his eye, he unexpectedly saw a corner of red fluttering in the wind on the spider web.

What is that?

Walked over and took down the red thing, judging from the texture that it was a piece of rag, he leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it, Ye Feifei's face suddenly changed.

Familiar taste!

The smell of blood!

The people of the Liu family!

Offering tables, heavy footprints, pieces of bloody cloth...... Connecting the clues, Ye Feifei suspected that there was a Buddha statue enshrined on the offering table, and the rags were the heavenly blood clothes worn by the Buddha statue.

The weight of the Buddha statue Ye Feifei has been touched, and it is completely impossible for ordinary people to feel the weight of the labor, and the deep footprints that are pressed out of the ground are in a sense more than the weight of three or four Buddha statues...... In other words, in order to achieve such conditions, the volume and density of the Buddha statue must be very large, and there are no storage treasures such as space bags, so it is extremely difficult to carry them.

There is no space bag, and it is so difficult to carry a Buddha statue, and the doubts of people who come without companions Ye Feifei probably have the bottom......

An ordinary person!

The cultivators of the One Tribulation Realm are already capable of carrying hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects without panting, and a Buddha statue is not more than a hundred kilograms, and the person who comes in must be an ordinary person...... He started walking out of the house after it had rained for a while, when the ground was soaked by the rain, which made it easy to leave footprints.

The back hand of the shopkeeper is really unguardable!

Ye Feifei felt that he might be able to catch this person and ask one or two, there was only one person in the footprints, he was not in the same party, and if he had, he didn't have to work so hard to carry the Buddha statue.

Having made up his mind, Ye Feifei followed the footprints back to the pond and found a place to hide.

It was still very early before dawn, and Ye Feifei was fully capable of catching the other party and interrogating him, even if he couldn't complete the side quest, the news he got was definitely worth the trip.

The crunching sound of the bones kept ringing, and the rhythm was different every time, and Ye Feifei was very suspicious that there was a mountain of bones and a vicious dog buried under the Ye Mansion.

Just as Ye Feifei was about to do something, there was a fluctuation on the surface of the water, and a head poked out of the water.

The Lord has appeared!
