Chapter 724: Inexplicable Trap
Two hours, just two hours.
Qiu Wuyi's chest rose and fell rapidly and violently, running back and forth in the village like crazy, running silently.
No one, no one anywhere.
Walking through the rock-shaped houses that had only been built for a few months, all you could see was a mess.
Knock -
A door was forcibly opened in a manner that was rough enough to be mistaken for a robber, and there was not a single child in the closed door, the children were treasures of the village, and several of them were quite young, and were to be cared for in this house every day.
All that greeted Qiu Wuyi's eyes was the empty wooden cradle and the cushion that seemed to have been sitting a few minutes agoβthere were still dent marks on it.
A delicate pair of bows and arrows are placed casually next to the cushions, and the women of the village take turns to take care of the children here.
"There's a man's breath around the corner in front. β
The cold voice gently blew on the back of Qiu Wuyi's neck, instantly making him shudder.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
Qiu Wuyi knew who was behind it, but now he could only apologize. "As long as the souls are not plundered, the Yaksha people have no concept of death. β
The heavily armed Yoyo replied indifferently, and some muffled voices drifted out of the cracks in the closed metal helmet.
"I ...... Let's go!"
Although he knew that Yoyo was cheering himself up, Qiu Wuyi couldn't say thank you calmly, and seeing that the three people behind him had already chased after him, he immediately ran to the coordinates indicated by Yoyo first.
Survivor?
Whether it's one, or even just one, what's going on here, and what's the culprit?
"Hey, wake up, what's going on!"
Ling Qi, who was flying in the air, looked at it fixedly, but suddenly swept down from a low altitude and hugged the person who knelt on the ground without trembling from behind.
"Meng Lian?"
Qiu Wuyi climbed over a high wall and saw the faces of the survivors at the same time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
As long as she's safe, she should be able to explain to everyone what happened.
"Gone...... Everyone...... It's all gone......"
Meng Lian, who had never had anything to do with the word timidity, stared straight at the ground with nothing, and didn't even notice the reality that he was now in Ling Qi's arms, and he didn't even notice her existence, still talking to himself wildly.
"Hey, hey, how did it disappear, when did it happen, tell me!"
Ling Qi couldn't stop shaking Meng Lian's arms, almost treating her like a doll that could be wrecklessly destroyed, and her movements were so rough that she was different from her at any time.
"Ah Ling, stop it, her arm is about to be dislocated!"
Fan Lingyu rushed forward with an arrow step, opened Ling Qi's hands with a snap, and dodged to protect Meng Lian behind him.
"No...... None ......."
was shaken vigorously by Ling Qi, Meng Lian didn't know that his body was in pain, and he fell directly to the ground weakly.
"Miscalculation!
Qiu Wuyi secretly slapped himself in the face, but even if he regretted his negligence now, it didn't seem to help, think about it in another direction, even if he left someone two hours ago, I'm afraid he might not be able to resolve this flying disaster.
Now there is at least one clue, and that is that everything happened within two hours, or even ten minutes.
And the murderer is also quite clear.
In another murder incident, when the time of the murder is clear and the murderer is clear, there will be nothing to do next.
But this murder was completely different.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wuyi hurriedly looked at Cheng Tiexuan, who had just rushed over, his light body technique had not become stronger because of evolution.
"Brother, her soul!"
The colorful mask flashed on Cheng Tiexuan's face, although he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart, he had already made all the preparations, and he was showing a rare calmness at this time.
"I see, worthy of the boss. β
Qiu Wuyi took a step back, trying to use the ability of reversing his soul and soul, just as Cheng Tiexuan said, Meng Lian's soul was obviously wrong.
The enemy was a shadow demon, and it was reasonable to use such a trick, and then Qiu Wuyi calmed down a little.
"What's out of the ordinary?"
Yoyo was a hunter by training, and she was an extremely good hunter, and she was a true expert in tracking, but now she couldn't see any clues, but Qiu Wuyi seemed to be thinking, which made her quite puzzled.
"There is nothing abnormal in the body, the problem is in the soul, there is a long line connected to her soul, I can't see the other end of the line from here, but this should be a clue left by the enemy on purpose. β
Qiu Wuyi didn't immediately withdraw his strength, he reached out and took the invisible thread in his hand with a light sweep.
"Traps?"
Fan Lingyu couldn't see anything, and she didn't have any real sense of the line, so she was a little skeptical.
"Why leave one person as a trap, wouldn't it be better to leave no one behind?"
Ling Qi hugged Meng Lian's neck from behind, this appearance meant that she had already regarded Meng Lian as her own.
"Yes, it's better for it in that regard, but it's not good for the other. β
Cheng Tiexuan's cold face hooked up a stiff smile, and his voice was ten times harder than a smile.
"That's ......"
"Right, let's catch it all in one go, it's very unfavorable. β
Youyou, who had already understood the subtext of the two in an instant, took the initiative to answer the question that Fan Lingyu was about to blurt out.
"How can it be justified? β
Fan Lingyu was so angry that he stomped hard, and Meng Lian, who had still regained his senses, was suddenly startled, screamed and fell into Ling Qi's arms, crying incessantly.
Looking at all this, Qiu Wuyi's heart felt as if it had been pierced.
A strong girl who is unmoved even in the face of threats to her life, but now she is as weak as a newborn guinea pig, so I am afraid that the people who have disappeared are now more than lucky.
"Let's go. β
Cheng Tiexuan suddenly raised his head and said.
"Yo-yo, you go with us to your sister's island first, I'm sorry to drag you all into such a dangerous situation. β
Qiu Wuyi bowed his head deeply to Yoyo, the shelter that he thought was safe was invaded from within because of an accident, even if Yoyo was dissatisfied, it seemed to be a matter of course.
And it was himself who caused all this tragedy, and Qiu Wuyi felt that he had the obligation to make amends.
"Don't do this, if it weren't for your help, she might have died in the wanderings, tell me where the island is, and I can do it alone. β
Yoyo is still as cold as ever, but at this time, this kind of indifference without emotional ups and downs is reassuring.
"Although there is a portal here, you are ...... alone"
"You have more important things to do, you shouldn't waste precious time for our sisters, and the sooner you act, the safer we will be. I can't answer you anything else, at least there's a place for me. I'm not going to watch any catastrophe happen. β
The sharp blade that oozes a slight chill bounces up from Youyou's wrist and gestures towards Qiu Wuyi from a distance.
"I'm sorry, I see. β
Knowing the resoluteness in Youyou's heart, Qiu Wuyi took her to the portal that had already been placed, and briefly explained to her the general situation of the islands over there.
After swearing again, Yoyo turned around and entered the portal under Qiu Wuyi's gaze.
"Let's go!"
With Meng Lian, who was finally drowsy and sleeping, the group returned to the disc and turned to the island of the overlord.
Since there is no reliable device that can make the disc go to Overlord Island immediately, the three masters have repeatedly told this matter, and they can't throw away the disc and transfer from the portal alone, and the worse thing is that the portal from here to Overlord Island disappeared for no reason, so the only means of transportation is the disc.
The speed of the disc is quite reliable, and the island of Overlord is not that far, so it will not take a lot of time.
Along the way, Cheng Tiexuan has always observed the changes in the silk thread connected to Meng Lian's soul, it seems that this string is endless, just like a trap in winter that uses a tree branch to support a basket, and then sprinkles grain and rice and ties it to the branch with a rope, as long as you follow this line, you will definitely be able to go to the place where the shadow demon is.
I don't know what happened to Xie Ning's body in the past few hours, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the power of the shadow demon has tilted to the side of the scale, and Xie Ning's consciousness has also been dormant, or disappeared.
Despite this, Cheng Tiexuan still held a glimmer of light and waited for the moment of confrontation with the Shadow Demon.
He doesn't choose to die.
In front of Xie Ning, who laughed at countless deaths, the little thing of martyrdom could not move her in the slightest, which Cheng Tiexuan had long understood.
If Xie Ning is really gone, the only thing he has to do is revenge.
"The town below is normal, there is no chaos, it seems that the other party is really targeting us. β
Xie Ning used the disk's exploration ability to inspect several passing towns, and the people in these towns were still living their lives, not knowing what was happening in distant places.
"Well, if Shadow Fiend really had this will, at least fewer people would be killed. β
Qiu Wuyi's fingertips knocked on the window in front of him and said with a wry smile.
Indeed, the Shadow Demon may also have some of Xie Ning's personality traits, such as efficiency, such as coldness.
Since there is no clear purpose in the first place, there is no need to be polite on your side, just go to war.
"What time is it?"
Fan Lingyu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly asked in a daze.
"It's noon. β
Ling Qi said without thinking.
"Yes, I always feel like it's a little dark. β
Thinking that he was probably mistaken, Fan Lingyu touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Noon ......"
Qiu Wuyi felt as if something unusual was happening silently.
