Chapter 202: Death
The sudden appearance of footprints on the ground made them think that just when they had fallen into a state of slumber in the illusion, some monster approached them, and that monster was probably a giant crow.
But fortunately, the monster should have been driven away by Zhang Chen's aura man, so they didn't lose their lives at the hands of the monster.
The rest of the sober people will help wake up those who have not yet escaped the illusion.
Glancing at the direction of the footprints on the ground, the footprints were one foot deep and one foot shallow, spreading towards the end of the dead trees in the distance.
"I'll go over and see the situation first, you guys wait for me here." Zhang Chen said, commanded the two aura people to follow him, let the rest of the aura people continue to guard everyone, and he plus two aura people, and looked for him in the direction of the footprints.
Soon came to the end of the footprints, and Zhang Chen saw that there was nothing where the footprints finally ended.
Did the monster that made the footprints disappear out of thin air here?
Zhang Chen's footsteps stopped, he thought of hearing the crow cry but not seeing the crow before, if it was a soul body, it should be hidden.
The blood claw in his hand condensed and swung towards the place where the footprints disappeared, the blood blade cut through the ground and did not hit anything, maybe the blood claw could not hurt the target, or the thing had already spread its wings and flew away from here.
The Reiki people also didn't show offensive or defensive reactions, so it's more likely that the monster left the place.
Zhang Chen turned back.
"What did you find?" Zheng Dai asked Zhang Chen.
"The footprints disappeared when they got there, the monster should have run away, but it should have been the illusion of the ghost hitting the wall created by the monster, and the monster ran away, and the illusion should not appear again."
In the midst of the dead woods, a dilapidated wooden house appeared.
Behind the hut, there are not many roads to get out of the dead woods, and behind them is the endless desert, and the area where the desert is located is one of the danger areas marked on the map of the underworld.
"Let's wait outside first, Zheng Dai, let's go inside and investigate the situation." Zhang Chen pointed to the wooden house in front of him and said.
Xuanyin could see that Zhang Chen and this Zheng Dai seemed to have a good relationship, and after the two entered the wooden house, she asked the rest of the members of the mountaineering enthusiasts organization, "Our Zhuang is elder, is he familiar with your boss?" ”
A young man with a green algae head said, "There used to be a relationship, and we cooperated, but our boss is more friendly to those with multiple abilities, and Brother Zhuang Cheng is a person with multiple abilities, and he has a good relationship with our boss." ”
"I see." Xuanyin understands the situation.
After Zhang Chen and Zheng Dai entered the wooden house, they found that the inside was not as small as it seemed from the outside, and the space inside was quite vast, about fifty square meters, so it was no problem for everyone to spend the night for the time being.
In the living room area, Zhang Chen found a blood-stained silk cloth in the trash can on the ground in front of the sofa, picked it up and observed, and found that it should be part of the white stockings, which were torn off.
"Bao Da heard before that there are people in Elder Li Ranran's team who are seriously injured, so they must have been here." Zhang Chen immediately thought of it.
And to enter the dangerous area not far away, there is a high probability that they will pass through this place, so it is also very likely that they have spent the night here.
Zhang Chen found some medicines for treating wounds, disinfectants and the like on the sofa.
There should be no such thing in the underworld, then, it is left by the people who come in from outside.
"Let's look for it separately first, and rule out possible dangers as much as possible." Zhang Chen said to Zheng Dai.
The two searched the hut and eventually returned to the living room, where they found no danger.
"There are only two rooms on the second floor, which are very empty and have no furniture, like a makeshift wooden house, perhaps created by a practitioner using the wood attribute exercise." Zhang Chen said.
Zheng Dai also said, "I also searched the first floor, but I didn't find any danger. ”
"Well, let everyone in." Zhang Chen said to Zheng Dai.
After a while, Zheng Dai went out to call for someone, and everyone entered the wooden house.
"We may have to spend two days in this place, I hope that within these two days, Elder Li Ranran and the others will appear, and then we will meet up and plan what to do next." If Elder Li Ranran and the others don't show up two days later, then we can only venture into the danger area and look for them. ”
Zhang Chen said to everyone, then looked at Zheng Dai and said, "If you feel dangerous, you can wait for us here, there is no need to reluctantly follow us to take risks, your target is not the Flower of the Underworld, but the Mutated Fruit." ”
"Since we are going to join the Yuanying Cultivator Alliance, then we should also treat ourselves as members of the alliance, and if we want to enter, we will enter together, how can there be any reason to stay alone?" Zheng Dai said.
"Okay, let's all go into the danger zone in two days if we need to." Zhang Chen, out of consideration of his identity as an alliance elder, must have led his own people into the danger area and joined Elder Li Ranran, as for the mountaineering enthusiast organization, they have not yet joined the alliance, and Zhang Chen did not force them to follow.
But Zheng Dai obviously wanted to follow Zhang Chen's route.
The strength of the population is greater, and it is easy to deal with danger when encountered.
In the underworld, there is no diurnal change, only night, and the sleep time of the supernatural is only three hours, which is equivalent to the sleep time of a lion.
Zhang Chen adjusted the alarm clock for three hours, found a corner, sat down with his back against the wall, closed his eyes, and cultivated a clear heart.
In a state of pure determination, it is easy to enter a half-asleep state, which can replenish mental energy and dispel fatigue.
Unconsciously in the Pure Heart Determination cultivation, two hours have passed.
Before the alarm clock on his mobile phone rang, Zhang Chen opened his eyes.
The aura people exiled outside the wooden house seemed to be on alert, gathering together and facing in one direction.
Through the induction of the aura, Zhang Chen was able to clearly understand the location of the reiki person.
Also, I heard the crow cry in my ears.
It's just that this voice came from all directions, and Zhang Chen himself couldn't tell where the danger came from through the sound.
Under the bloody eye and ultrasound detection, the target could not be found either, and there was no doubt that the target should be a soul or something, without heat or form.
But it must be an existential form, which can be judged from the direction of the Reiki person. The aura man is vigilant against the soul body that cannot be seen or touched in a certain direction.
And the soul body, at this moment, condensed into a crow's head, the form of a human body, holding a sickle in his hand, looked in the direction of the wooden house where everyone was.
He took a sudden step towards where the group was.
One more step.
But it seems to feel the presence of the aura man in the distance, and the monster with the crow's head and the body of the man stops.
As if a projection, his body fell downward, falling to the ground as an irregular circular shadow.
