Speaking of his grandfather, Zhou Tao's expression darkened, his grandfather had fought against the abyss monsters with his grandfather, and finally his grandfather turned into a formation spirit, but his grandfather finally returned with the broken sword dragon yuan,

But then it is unknown whether the old man really died or faked his death, if grandpa really did not die, then where did grandpa go now?

After a meal, the sand hunters went to their respective houses to rest.

Zhou Tao called all nine of them to his room.

"We'll sleep in three rooms tonight, and each of us will be on guard for an hour and a half at night, mainly keeping an eye on the sand diggers, and when they move, we'll follow them."

Everyone nodded.

"I want to share a room with the shopkeeper." Tang Can hurriedly said.

After everyone divided the room, Zhou Tao said again: "Then this first shift, I will guard, I am tired for a day, you go and rest." ”

Hearing that Zhou Tao was going to be a sentry, Tang Can was immediately unhappy, and immediately said: "Young shopkeeper, I'll come, you go to sleep, you broke into the Heavenly Dao Tower yesterday, and you are still injured." ”。

"That little injury is nothing." Zhou Tao shook his head and said it was okay.

"That's not good, if you're injured, you're injured, so you'd better go and rest." Tang Can said in a firm tone.

"That's right, young shopkeeper, it's enough for us to keep vigil, so you can rest assured." Tang Ming and the others also echoed and said.

Helpless, Zhou Tao had to agree: "That's okay, then there are Lao brothers, call me at any time if you have something." ”

Due to his injuries, coupled with the fact that he had been in the car for so long and had walked for a day on the mountain road, Zhou Tao was indeed tired, and fell asleep on the bed.

I don't know how long I slept, I was dazed, and I heard someone calling me.

"Young shopkeeper, wake up, those people have already set off."

Zhou Tao overcame sleepiness, opened his eyes with difficulty, saw that it was not yet dawn outside, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only half past four in the morning.

"These people got up really early." Zhou Tao yawned and sat up.

"Then let's hurry up and go, don't be too late to catch up."

"Shall we find a local guide?" Tang Can had already sorted out his equipment and was waiting for Zhou Tao at the door.

"No need, listen to the conversation of the sand hunters, they seem to be familiar with this place, we will follow them, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries." Putting on his coat, Zhou Tao walked outside the house.

Outside, everyone was ready to go.

"Let's go." Zhou Tao waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard.

As time went by, the sky gradually became brighter, and Zhou Tao had been hanging about 500 meters behind Taosha Ke with his superb hearing.

"Young shopkeeper, look, there's a stone tablet."

Looking in the direction Tang Ming pointed, a broken stone tablet was diagonally inserted on the side of the road.

Walking closer, Zhou Tao saw some blurred handwriting on the stele, "Phoenix Village".

"Phoenix Village? We're finally here. Tang Can said with some excitement.

"Next, we all cheered up, I don't know what caused that kind of water thirst, everyone should be careful." Zhou Tao looked at the stele and said with a serious face.

"Yes, less shopkeeper." Everyone responded in unison.

"Then let's go into the village."

Stepping over the stone stele, Zhou Tao and his party officially entered the boundary of Phoenix Village.

"Huh?" As soon as he stepped over the stele, Zhou Tao hummed softly in some confusion.

"What's wrong? Less shopkeepers. Tang Can asked.

"This Phoenix Village is really weird, just now my ears are buzzing, and I can't hear the movement of the sand diggers." Zhou Tao poked his ear and said.

"The spiritual power in my body also fluctuated a little just now." Tang Ming on the side also frowned, sensing the spiritual power in his body.

"Less shopkeeper, come and see." In the team, a man named Chang Yuan was lying on the window of a half-collapsed earthen house at the entrance of the village, looking at something.

Zhou Tao walked over quickly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Less shopkeeper, you better see for yourself." Chang Yuan saw Zhou Tao coming over, and let go of the body blocked in front of the window.

Seeing Chang Yuan's appearance, Zhou Tao leaned to the window, wanting to see what was inside, which was worth Chang Yuan's fuss.

Through the already broken window, Zhou Tao saw that there was a shriveled humanoid creature with a large belly lying on his stomach in the collapsed room.

Hearing movement outside, the humanoid turned its head to look at the window.

I saw that the humanoid creature's hair was extremely long, which had already covered half of its face, and coupled with the dirt on its face, it was difficult to see what it looked like.

After seeing Zhou Tao outside the window, the monster let out a roar, then turned around and fled on all fours behind the collapsed house.

"Chase." Seeing that the monster was about to run, Zhou Tao hurriedly beckoned the big guy and chased after him.

After chasing after the house, Zhou Tao only saw the monster disappear into the woods of the mountain at a very fast speed.

"Young shopkeeper, what kind of monster is that?" Tang Can also stopped chasing and asked.

Looking at the direction in which the monster disappeared, Zhou Tao said, "That monster should be a human." ”

"People? How is it possible, it doesn't look like a human being. Tang Can was a little incredulous.

"To be exact, it's a person with thirst." Zhou Tao added.

"Thirst?" Tang Can's voice couldn't help but be a little louder: "What kind of disease is this thirsty disease?" How can you make people like this?"

Zhou Tao shook his head: "I don't know, but depending on the situation, the person who got thirsty water just now may no longer be able to be called a human, he has lost his mind, and is more like a beast." ”

Tang Can nodded, agreeing with Zhou Tao's statement.

"Let's go, let's go inside." Zhou Tao had a hunch, and soon they would be able to know what this thirsty water disease was.

After walking for a while, Zhou Tao looked at the scattered earthen houses on both sides of the mountain road, and couldn't help but have some doubts.

Doesn't it mean that this place is targeted by real estate companies to develop tourist attractions? Why did you not see what it looked like to build a tourist resort here?

Even if there is an unexpected stoppage in the middle of the way, but now there is no sign of construction, not to mention the rest, take this road as an example, if you want to get rich, first build the road.

But here, even the car can't get in, how can tourists still come to travel, Zhou Tao thought that the tourist spot has not been repaired, so the road has not yet been repaired, but when he came to Phoenix Village, there was no road repair here, and even excavators and other mechanical equipment were not seen.

This makes it seem that everything is not normal, what is the construction of a tourist resort, there is definitely a cat in it.

Walking along the village path, there were dilapidated and rotten houses on both sides, and there was no one left, and I didn't see the monster with thirst anymore.

Suddenly, Tang Ming seemed to have discovered something: "Young shopkeeper, look, why is there a coffin parked in this family's house?"

"Less shopkeeper, I also have a coffin here."

"I have that here."

Several voices rang out, and coffins were found in different courtyards.

Zhou Tao walked to the courtyard where Tang Ming was located and saw a miserable white coffin parked in the middle of the courtyard.

This coffin is a log color, unpainted, and looks like elm, so it is the kind of miserable white color, which looks extremely strange and penetrating.

Tang Can and the others also came over at this time, looked at the coffin and said, "Young shopkeeper, why does every family here have a coffin?" Is there a death in every family? ”

Zhou Tao stared at the coffin in the middle of the courtyard and said, "Just open it and take a look." ”

"I'll do it." Tang Ming stepped forward and slapped it out with one palm, and the old coffin lid was directly slapped out.

Zhou Tao stepped forward and looked at a set of clothes that had been torn in the empty coffin, and he was also a little curious, since these coffins did not put dead people, but put a set of clothes, what did they mean?

"Let's go to the next one." Several people surveyed the yard, except for some tattered and old furniture, there was no one, Zhou Tao decided to go to the next one, he wanted to know, what the empty coffin was used for.

Walked to another courtyard where the coffin was placed, this one was larger than the one just now, and it looked like it was richer than the previous family, but the coffin placed in the center of the courtyard was exactly the same.

This time, before Zhou Tao could speak, Tang Ming had already stepped forward and opened the coffin.

Not surprisingly, this coffin is also empty, and there is also an old shroud inside.

Just as Zhou Tao was looking at the coffin carefully, suddenly, he heard someone shouting outside the courtyard: "Who is it?" Hold it. ”

Zhou Tao and the others hurriedly ran outside the hospital.

I saw that the tall thin man named Zhao Qilong in their team turned back from a distance.

Tang Ming asked, "What did you just find?" ”

Zhao Qilong pointed to a big tree not far away and said: "Just now you all went in to check the coffin, I was standing at the door, and suddenly I saw that there seemed to be a person hiding behind the tree, who was spying on us, so I hurriedly chased after it." ”

"Then do you see what that person looks like?" Zhou Tao asked with a serious expression.

: Zhao Qilong shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly, that person's speed is very fast, look at the figure, it should be an old man, wearing a somewhat tattered clothes." ”

"Is it a thirsty person again?" Tang Can guessed.

"No, that person is different from the monster we saw at the beginning, this old man is sensible, and he doesn't have the monster's big belly." Zhao Qilong carefully recalled what he had just seen.

"Forget it, don't guess, since that person dares to come and peep at us, there must be some purpose, we should meet him again in the future, everyone be vigilant, it seems that there are a lot of people here."

"It's really getting interesting." Zhou Tao muttered to himself.

Walking out of this courtyard, Zhou Tao and the others investigated a few more, without exception, all the coffins were empty, and they were just shabby shrouded shrouds.

At the same time, they also found something, two white lanterns hung in the yards of these people's houses.

At first, Zhou Tao didn't care, but later, he found that every house was hung with white lanterns, which was a little abnormal.
