Chapter 46: The Villagers Are Missing
At this moment, his heart was somewhat happy.
It turns out that his talent rodent is indeed effective in improving his strength.
Regardless of how ghostly the martial arts achieved in this way were for the time being, he knew that he had found another way to improve his strength.
Thinking of this, he looked over his shoulder, where the Blood Baby had been.
He hadn't seen it since he was born, and he once thought it was gone, but as his strength improved, he gradually realized that the blood baby was still there, but he just needed to digest the fruits of the previous world, so he fell into a deep sleep.
After all, the blood sacrifice of a city is a great gain for the blood infant of the newborn.
For the next stretch of the road, the road was as calm as water, and nothing unusual happened.
It wasn't until I entered the village that I found that all the places were as quiet as water, and the doors of every house were closed, and at the same time, the darkness was pressing, and there was no light revealed.
"Something is wrong!"
Along the way, everyone who was already nervous instantly sensed that something was wrong.
It's too quiet here, and even though it's the middle of the night, it shouldn't be.
"It won't be...."
Suddenly, someone trembled and wanted to say something.
but was interrupted by a small stone.
"Shut up!"
His eyes were also red, and he grabbed the weapon in his hand and walked towards the nearest house.
"I'll do it."
At this time, Li Mu rushed forward from the end of the line and stopped the small stone that was about to knock on the door.
It's so quiet, it's scary.
Stopping the little stone, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock-"
"Knock-"
One, two, three later.
Several people looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Li Mu's face turned cold, regardless of whether there was someone inside or not, and whether he heard his knock on the door.
Lift your foot and break in the door.
"Bang!"
A loud bang rang out in the empty village.
Everyone subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
At this time, there was still cold rain drifting in the sky, and the cold wind was biting.
But it can't compare to the coldness of the heart at the moment.
The house was empty!
There seemed to be residual warmth on the messy bedding, witnessing that their owners had been here to keep warm.
But now everyone is gone.
Seeing that there was no danger, Li Mu and the others pried open the doors of each room in turn.
But the result is the same, it is empty.
"The people of the village...."
Some people couldn't accept this result, and their voices trembled and suppressed their cries.
The remaining few were silent.
Only Li Mu and Xiao Shi were still calm.
But when I saw these people, they all began to feel depressed, and they looked at each other with Xiaoshi.
In the end, it was Li Mu who stood up.
"Don't think about it, you also saw that there were no signs of fighting in the various rooms, which means that it is likely that nothing happened to them, but they were just hiding for the time being."
At this time, Xiaoshi also stepped forward to interject.
"Don't you see that there are traces of tidying up in many houses, I guess during our absence, whatever happened in the village we hid for the time being."
The more the two talked, the more they felt that this was more likely.
The only place where the villagers can hide and get shelter is near the totem pole.
Come up with the idea.
Everyone is eager to get ready to go again.
But, suddenly.
An evil aura that seemed to be intertwined with countless resentments and hatreds was fleeting.
The whole process was only discovered by Li Mu.
The rest of the people still look like they can't wait.
Li Mu frowned and glanced around, but the evil aura was fleeting, and then nothing abnormal happened.
Obviously, this kind of thing that knows how to hide himself, but secretly makes something bad is very disgusting to him.
It's a lot tougher than those that can go head-to-head.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be nothing, and didn't even remind the rest of the people, just restrained his qi and blood, became like an ordinary person, and walked towards the totem pole again with a few people.
In the open space of the square where the totem pole was built, the firewood was piled up at the moment, and the torches were burning around it, but it could not withstand the cold that penetrated into the bones.
Many women and children were crying quietly.
A cold wind blew, causing everyone to shrink their heads.
"It can't go on like this!"
The wild old man looked at the bright square at the moment with a dove cane.
But the strange thing is that the fire does not penetrate the darkness, but is strangely shrouded in an area.
Beyond that, there is still bottomless darkness.
"Let's burn more firewood, and spend tonight first, no matter what."
The patriarch's fist fell, and at this moment, his eyes were covered with bloodshots, and at the same time, his body was wrapped with a layer of white cloth, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Hearing the order, a group of barbarian men came to the square, took out torches, poured a layer of black oil on the firewood, and then threw it down, and fell on the pyre.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
The fire expanded, and the sound of firewood being burned and bursting sounded like firecrackers.
This crackling movement drove many people, kneeling beside the fire with red eyes, kowtowing and praying: "Totem bless, totem bless, don't let those evil spirits enter my ......"
As he spoke, several people suddenly burst into tears, looking at a few corpses falling on the edge of the square, and couldn't stop crying.
Black smoke from the burning firewood billowed up just as everyone was exhausted but had to endure the freezing rain that could fall from the sky at any moment and the biting cold wind.
Suddenly, someone pointed outside the square, saw several twisted figures under the billowing black smoke, and shouted in horror: "The evil is coming, the evil is coming...."
In an instant, the entire square instantly panicked.
But they were all organized and did not shout loudly, but just got up in fear while looking for the weapons on their bodies and preparing to fight.
Fortunately, at this time, Da Wuzhu stood up and comforted loudly: "This is the place where the totem pole is located, the totem will protect us, and these evil spirits can't get in!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was a little relieved.
The patriarch was holding a huge sharp axe in his hand at this moment, his face was a little pale, and he stood up and said, "I'll take someone to see what the situation is first." ”
