Chapter 55: No one has stopped all the way
As far as the eye can see, the whole town is gray, ruins abound, many buildings are in a collapsed state, half-collapsed, and the walls and the ground are everywhere showing dark black dried blood.
Everywhere, the shriveled corpses of mortals who had not cultivated could be seen lying messily on the ground. I think I've been dead for a long time.
"Just this apocalyptic scene happened in a small town not far from the Dark City, don't the people in the Dark City care?" asked Feng Ling'er with some indignation to Xiang Yi.
Yi's face was a little ugly, and he replied to Chu Tian: "Maybe the Dark City side is also a doppelganger, so they can't take care of these surrounding towns." ”
Feng Ling'er was still a little unwilling, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Tian.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but it stands to reason that even if these people die, there should be animals like insects and ants to devour carrion and carcasses. But since we've been here, we haven't seen even a sign of life. ”
Chu Tian said and pointed to the ground again, "Look at the plants on the ground. ”
Several people followed Chu Tian's fingers and looked at the crack of a bluestone in front of the pharmacy. I saw only a few withered plants, pulling their heads and sticking to the bluestone as if they had been crushed by something.
Chu Tian said eloquently: "This is the most common plant called evening primrose in the Western world, which has no other effect, that is, it is known as tenacious, not to mention that it grows from the cracks in the stone, or it can sprout and grow when planted in the stone." ”
"Even the weed's vitality has dissipated, and you can imagine what happened to the other living species in the city. ”
Chu Tian didn't stop while talking, he walked past a corpse and was about to turn the corpse over, several people didn't know Chu Tian's intentions, and they didn't dare to disturb Chu Tian, so they stood and watched Chu Tian look at the corpses one by one.
After looking at dozens of corpses one after another, Chu Tian came to another conclusion: "These are the corpses of ordinary people, and anyone who has a little cultivation or even a cultivator who cultivates one or two levels of qi has not seen it. "I think there is some kind of inexplicable force that forced the monks in Ziyang Town to leave. ”
Master Jin suddenly spoke, "Do you feel a very uncomfortable aura here?" ”
Yi "wow" and said, "Yes, as soon as I arrived here, I felt uncomfortable, as if there was something very unpleasant in the air." ”
Feng Ling'er also said: "Yes, I also felt a burst of discomfort, at first I thought it was the environment here that was uncomfortable, but after a long time, I found an irrepressible sense of depression, which made people very uneasy. ”
"Do you feel the silence of death, or the breath of death?" Chu Tian said to a few people.
When several people heard Chu Tian's words, they all nodded and agreed.
The four of Chutian, every word you say and I say, all find uneasiness and fear in the eyes of the other party, this kind of unknown weirdness is the most unacceptable to people, even if they know that the opponent's strength is so strong that they can't resist a few of them, it is much stronger than this inexplicable danger lurking.
Feng Ling'er whispered, "Why don't we go back first and find some people before we go?"
Chu Tian straightened his chest and said, "This is okay, it's all here, how can I go back!"
Master Jin also nodded in agreement, after all, this is related to the assessment of Yi Sanxing's killer, and it is such an opportunity once a year, and there may not be this opportunity for several people to get together in the next year.
Yi saw that the two brothers were so supportive of themselves, knowing that this trip was dangerous and willing to stay with them, their hearts couldn't help but be moved, and they just came out and wanted to let others go first, and they also held back stiffly.
Since the brothers are willing to accompany them, if they are saying something like that, they will look down on their brothers too much.
Yi hammered his chest and said: "Good brother, since you all support me so strongly, it's too boring for me to refuse!"
Chu Tian laughed, "What's the point of being weird, no matter what his corpse is a mountain of blood, as long as our brothers are here, what is there to fear." ”
Master Jin also nodded, not talking.
Seeing that the three men had already decided on the direction and goal, Feng Ling'er was not talking, since their men had set the goal, even if they knew that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, what reason would I have to stop them, it was better to follow him silently, whether it was in the clouds or in the fog, life and death would go hand in hand, and never give up, Feng Ling'er secretly clenched his fists.
The three of them decided that they naturally didn't have any fear, but that their steps towards the rockfall valley were lighter and more careful.
Chu Tian saw Feng Ling'er looking at him with apologetic eyes, smiled knowingly, blew Feng Ling'er's nose, and said with a smile: "Fool, I blame you so much! You are also a very good piece of advice, but the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, this is what must be done." ”
Yi Ye next to him echoed and said: "Yes, Miss Ling'er, I will not go to your girl's family so much! I am very grateful that you are willing to help me come this time!"
Master Jin next to Yi slapped Yi's head: "How do you speak, what words of gratitude do you have to say between brothers, don't you treat us as brothers!"
Yi saw that Chutian and Master Jin both looked at him a little unkindly, and hurriedly changed his words: "I don't want to comfort and comfort Miss Ling'er, how do I know that I have offended you!" said with an aggrieved look.
Seeing this, several people laughed, and Feng Ling'er also pursed her lips and laughed.
The somewhat dull atmosphere along the way finally dissipated, and with the laughter of several people, there was no more lifelessness around them, and finally there was a hint of the breath of a living person.
A few people walked out of Ziyang Town, and when they arrived at the entrance of the next village, it was still as miserable as Ziyang Town, without even the slightest sign of life, even a few big locust trees at the entrance of the village were even more unbearable than the old man in the twilight, and there was no trace of greenery on the whole tree, where did it die.
"Look what I've found. Master Jin's eyes glowed with gold, and he walked towards the big locust tree.
There was a small wormhole in an inconspicuous place of the big locust tree, and Master Jin stroked the bark around the wormhole, closed his eyes, and said, "The vitality of this big locust tree flows out through here.
Chu Tian said: "Doesn't this mean that these are all our targets, damn evil mage, it's really intolerable if this kind of person is not killed."
Master Jin said with a bit of a heavy face: "I'm afraid that the enemy's strength is even stronger than ours, so we must be ready to meet it at any time."
The faces of several people sank at the same time, I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight.
After passing through a few more villages, the faces of several people became more and more ugly, more and more heavy, not far from the Troubled Stone Valley, the Yang Spirit on Chu Tian's body suddenly began to shake violently, and a picture appeared in Chu Tian's mind, in the Troubled Stone Mountain Range, there were people who tried their best to hide the huge blood and qi inside, but there was nothing to hide under the perception of the Yang Spirit.
It shows a blond man sitting cross-legged on an altar surrounded by several haggard-looking monks, and in front of the blonde man is a pit of insects and monks, from which the monstrous blood emanates from it.
