Chapter 102: The Village Called Hope

"Whew!"

Zhu Lao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead, obviously opening this secret realm of time and space, which was also a lot of consumption for him.

And the rest of the old men also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Come to think of it, it should also consume a lot.

And many contestants looked at the blood-red entrance of the secret realm and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

This strange dark red made them feel a touch of fear in their hearts.

"Okay, the secret realm of time and space is about to open, I think you have already participated in similar secret realm competitions in various sub-divisions, so I won't talk nonsense if there are more, now, please enter the secret realm, the competition begins!"

As Zhu Lao's voice fell, many contestants who believed that their strength was good took the lead in rushing in.

However, in the next second, before those hesitant contestants could react, a scream came from the secret realm.

"What's wrong? What happened..."

"I don't know, but listening to this voice, I don't think it's a good thing."

Yang Chen also frowned and looked at the secret realm, because of the relationship between time and space tunnels, the spiritual sense could not enter to investigate, and he could not make a judgment on the situation inside.

However, what made him wonder was that from the entrance of the secret realm to the complete entry into the tunnel, there was still a short time and space tunnel, but these people just entered and encountered accidents, and nine times out of ten it was not the danger in the secret realm, but that there was a problem with the space-time tunnel.

However, what made Yang Chen most depressed was that he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but he still wanted to go to Tiger Mountain.

Looking at Wei Weiwei's expectant eyes beside him, Yang Chen chuckled lightly and slowly walked to the entrance of the secret realm.

"I'll go, is this guy going to die? Didn't he hear the screams of those men just now? ”

"Who knows, anyway, I always feel a little uneasy, this kid doesn't end well when he goes in."

"Hmph, I really don't know if I should praise him for not being afraid, or if the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, what is the difference between going in like this and sending him to death?"

For a while, everyone looked at Yang Chen's back and began to discuss.

Yang Chen had no intention of paying attention to these remarks at all, supported the edge of the secret realm with one hand, and jumped directly into the secret realm of time and space.

"Damn, Childe is in."

Zhang Jinsong and Jian Yi naturally saw it really on the viewing platform, especially the figure of Yang Chen jumping into the secret realm just now, which exploded everyone present.

For Zhang Jinsong's surprise, Jian Yi smiled disapprovingly, and then said: "Don't worry, your son-in-law's ability is great, and he can't trap Brother Yang in a mere predicament." ”

"I hope so..."

Looking at the blood-red cave entrance, Zhang Jinsong couldn't bear to murmur, as a mysterious beast, he had a more acute sense than a human being, and this blood-red secret realm brought him a threat of death.

For a second...

Two seconds...

Ten seconds...

It wasn't until Yang Chen entered a quarter of an hour that everyone saw that there was no scream from Yang Chen, and the originally hanging heart was relaxed.

"There shouldn't be any problems."

In the crowd, I don't know who whispered, and then many contestants reacted and jumped into the entrance of the secret realm one after another.

It wasn't until the last contestant entered the secret realm that the entrance to the secret realm suddenly closed, and a huge screen was formed in mid-air.

Through the screen, everyone can see the things in the secret realm, but now on the screen, except for a blood moon, there is no other person or living being......

After Yang Chen entered the entrance of the secret realm, he was directly wrapped in a stream of energy and teleported towards the secret realm, but in the next second, his face changed.

Sure enough, there is a problem in this space-time tunnel!

I saw that not far from him, a lot of red lightning was gradually approaching him, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds of them, and the first batch of contestants should have encountered this wave of lightning, so they were buried in this long river of time and space.

"No, with the protection of this power of time and space, these lightning bolts shouldn't be able to hurt them."

Yang Chen looked at the energy barrier around him and said with some surprise.

But in the next second, reality gave him the answer.

Just when the red lightning was less than a kilometer away from him, the red barrier that had originally wrapped around him began to gradually disintegrate.

"I'll go!"

Yang Chen was shocked when he saw this, in this space-time tunnel, if there was no protection from the power of space-time, let alone these red lightning bolts in front of him, even the most basic space-time storm could easily tear him to pieces.

Looking around, Yang Chen did not hesitate at all, and jumped directly towards the nearest exit.

I don't know where I'll be teleported, but at least it's a lot better than being space-time garbage.

At the same time as his body entered the exit, Yang Chen felt a distance rushing directly into his spiritual sea, because he did not enter the secret realm according to the set route, so the backlash of time and space was inevitable.

Yang Chen only felt that his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

When Yang Chen opened his eyes again, a blood moon shone in the sky, and with the help of the moonlight, he could vaguely see that he was in a village.

Slowly getting up, walking through each room in turn, when Yang Chen pushed open the twelfth door, he finally determined that he had come to an empty village.

The unlocked door creaked and shook in the blood-colored moonlight, and the breeze blew, bringing a hint of blood.

"Anyone?"

Yang Chen first knocked on the door of the thirteenth house, but when he didn't see anyone inside, Yang Chen simply pushed the door and walked in.

As expected, the dilapidated room was empty, and after reaching out and flicking a wisp of flames, after looking around for a moment, Yang Chen decided to rest here for a while.

Just resisted the storm of time and space, and consumed too much of his Xuan Qi.

I walked down the narrow corridor towards the back room, but after taking two steps, I suddenly stood still.

The firelight reflected the dim spots on the wall, Yang Chen frowned, leaned in and sniffed lightly for a moment, but his face changed slightly.

"Is it blood again..."

The old blood stains on the walls, like the twelve houses in front of them, and the signs of sword battles in the houses, were signs that there had been a massacre, even a one-sided massacre, in the village, so that the whole village was abandoned.

Suddenly, Yang Chen seemed to think of something, and his memory gradually drifted to thousands of years ago, judging from the furnishings of this place, this village should have been called the Village of Hope, and he had come to this place because he had traveled around.

"Impossible, how can this be?"

Yang Chen shook his head in disbelief, the Village of Hope belongs to the affiliated village of Nine Immortal Mountain, the top force of the Kaos Empire in Beizhou, and the Nine Immortal Mountain belongs to the Holy Land of the Immortal Realm, and the masters are like clouds, and its strength is not at all something that a sect like Jianmen Mountain can contend with. But how long has it been? Could it be that Nine Immortal Mountain has been wiped out?

Impossible, you must know that even if the Netherworld River attacked in a big way, it was repelled by the Nine Immortals Mountain, and taking stock of the current martial arts forces, it is impossible for any force to destroy the Nine Immortals Mountain in just a thousand years.

Moreover, as a holy land in the immortal realm, if anything happens, it will definitely be a sensational event in the world, and it will inevitably shake all the top strengths, and as a top figure in the continent at that time, he naturally will not be ignorant.

Yang Chen frowned and continued to walk towards the inner room.

Along the way, there were mottled blood stains everywhere, and there were dense splatters of blood on both sides of the wall, and what made Yang Chen wonder was that these old blood stains actually emitted a strange smell.

But these blood stains are obviously very old, why can they still emit such a strong smell? You must know that many things have long been scattered with the wind after the erosion of time.

And, most importantly, even if the Land of Hope was slaughtered, what about the corpses?

There will always be corpses left, don't tell him that the gang of people who slaughtered the village kindly cleaned up the battlefield, this is absolutely impossible.

Along the way, Yang Chen not only saw not a single corpse, but also a grave.

A lot of questions flooded into his mind, and his head actually hurt slightly.

However, Yang Chen's footsteps did not stop because of this, but continued to walk in the direction of the inner room.

He had planned to rest here for a while, and instead of thinking about these messy problems, it was better to recover more of the consumed Xuan Qi.

I'll set off tomorrow to see if I can find a few contestants who will come in with me, after all, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and it is easier to deal with emergencies.

After walking all the way to the bedroom of the inner room, Yang Chen stopped, and after looking around, he found that this house was exactly the same as the layout of other houses in the village, but the dust was accumulated a little seriously, and it was obviously unoccupied for a long time.

Gently pushing the door open, a creaking sound came into my ears.

Looking at the neatly folded quilt on the bed, Yang Chen sighed helplessly, thinking that it was because the disaster came too quickly, so the furnishings here still maintained their original appearance.

"Excuse me."

In a polite attitude towards the owner of the room, Yang Chen still murmured softly.

Lifting the dusty tablecloth, Yang Chen sat on the stool, but the flame in his hand was slowly extinguished, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"Nine Immortal Mountain......

Yang Chen's thoughts went back to a thousand years ago, speaking of which he still has some relationship with Jiuxian Mountain, thinking about the girl who was full of stars and made him all excited, I don't know if he is doing well now......

Is it to become an immortal elsewhere, or to die with this land of hope?

And just as Yang Chen was recalling the past, he suddenly heard a "click" sound from somewhere in the room, as if someone was tapping the wall with his knuckles.

"Who?"

Yang Chen Huo Ran turned his head, and his fingers touched the hilt of the Falling Dust Sword at the same time.

The Falling Dust Sword seemed to feel Yang Chen's emotions at this time, and gently let out a sword groan.

The night wind blew, and the bed curtain in the room shook slightly, rolling up a layer of dust, but Yang Chen didn't feel the slightest breath of a living person from the wind, only the doors and windows creaked softly.

A glimmer of light flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, and after a long time, he finally slowly put down the long sword in his hand, looked for the direction from which the voice came, and walked towards the backyard......
