Chapter 48: The Courtyard

On the side peaks, Wang Ember cautiously walked through the corrupt buildings with fangs and claws.

The ruins of the Thousand Yang Sect, in addition to the main peak, there are as many as eight other side peaks.

Nine is extremely numerous, and the main peak and side peaks of the Thousand Yang Sect add up to exactly nine.

This time, Wang Yan still chose the side peak where he was when he died in his last dream, and explored along the route that he had already walked once last time.

There are eight side peaks, and only this side peak is slightly familiar to Wang Yan.

Although this side peak is just as dangerous, it was here that Ember first died in the dream world.

But after thinking about it, Wang Yan still chose to continue to explore this side peak.

After all, before he died last time, he had already explored this side peak for a distance, and he had already felt the situation on the side peak, compared to other side peaks, this time to continue to explore this side peak, at least his eyes would not be black.

Narrow or wide gray roads connected the temples and pavilions that barely stood in an extremely strange and distorted shape in the gray mist.

The dense road is like a gray spider web, and the dilapidated buildings that stand on it are like twisted insects tightly bound by gray spider webs, exuding a cold, deep dead silence.

The gray mist receded, and Wang Ember walked between the buildings, using the fangs and claws of the buildings to hide his figure, so as not to be spotted by the zombies that appeared on the road from time to time.

There was a burst of noise and softness under the feet, layers of thick gray sticky things covered the road under the feet tightly, without any gaps, I don't know what it was, when the feet stepped on it, there would be a slight "chirping" sound, and a little elasticity, as if stepping on a mass of rotten flesh, which made Wang Yan have a heartfelt nausea.

Forcibly enduring the disgust, Wang Ember went all the way, and from time to time there were zombies on the road that appeared in the gray mist, and there were not a few of them, but fortunately, with the lesson of the first death, Wang Ember was very careful along the way, and tried his best to minimize all traces of his actions.

Along the way, each zombie exuded a powerful aura, making Wang Yan give up decisively just by looking at it, without any certainty of victory.

After all, this is the Thousand Yang Sect, and there are I don't know how many powerful zombies.

Hunting zombies on this side peak, once it drags on for too long, the movement of the fight will definitely attract all the zombies around.

Wang Yan's current true qi cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and in this Thousand Yang Sect, which was once as mastery, it is completely impossible to get on the stage.

Once surrounded by zombies, it is bound to be a dead end.

Whoop!

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind in the sky, and Wang Ember shrank almost reflexively, hiding in the distorted shadows on one side.

Several decaying figures exuding a powerful aura flew through the sky, surrounded by invisible air currents.

Wang Yan held his breath and remained motionless until the sound of the breaking wind completely disappeared into the distance, and then he dared to lean out cautiously.

Along the way, it was not the first time he had seen this kind of zombie cruising through the sky like a fighter-bomber.

Flying in the sky, the aura was so powerful, Wang Yan didn't even dare to guess how profound the realm of these zombies should be.

When you see this kind of zombie, just hide.

Call!

A zombie appeared on the road, surrounded by gray flames, scorching and twisting the void, and some zombies that were a little closer to it were directly burned to ashes.

Although Wang Yan was dozens of meters away, when he saw such a scene, he was still secretly speechless, and subconsciously stayed away from that area.

After walking aimlessly for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable zombie to hunt.

After walking forward for a long time, many dilapidated buildings in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a courtyard appeared in front of Wang Yan.

Unlike other buildings, this courtyard is the first relatively intact building that Wang Ember has seen since he traveled for so long.

Surrounded by a one-man high wall, a path extends into it, and looking through the half-open and closing, decaying portals, several tall halls stand quietly in the courtyard, which, unlike the rest of the buildings outside, are still intact and unmistakably distorted like the others.

Although the interior of the courtyard is also decayed, barren and a pure gray, compared to the other buildings, the courtyard is much more normal.

What's even more peculiar is that around this courtyard, there are no zombies wandering around, the neighborhood is empty, there is no shadow, and there seems to be a pure land cut off near this courtyard.

Wang Yan stopped, looked at the courtyard in front of him, and didn't dare to approach it for a while.

On top of this side peak full of twisted buildings, this relatively normal looking courtyard is the most abnormal!

This courtyard stood quietly, and the gauzy gray mist shrouded it, without the slightest sound, but Wang Shen felt that the courtyard in front of him was like a long-abandoned ghost house in the deep mountains and old forests, and there were devouring devils hiding in it, quietly waiting for him to step into the trap.

Wang Shen even noticed that the gray slime that covered all the roads had strangely disappeared when they reached the outside of the courtyard, as if they had been erased by a big hand, revealing the gray stone road underneath.

In the deep mountains and old forests, where poisonous snakes and beasts suddenly disappear, there must be something more terrifying.

There are many signs, all on the surface, this seemingly normal courtyard, but the inside is by no means simple.

Wang Shen had already retreated, and he dared to conclude that there must be unimaginable dangers lurking in this unusual courtyard.

But at the same time, a strange intuition inexplicably appeared in his mind.

His intuition told him that there was some kind of big secret hidden in this courtyard.

Something extremely important!

This intuition came extremely suddenly, as if it appeared in Wang Yan's mind out of thin air, and it was extremely strong.

made Wang Yan hesitate all of a sudden.

He was at war with heaven and man, vacillating between retreat and advance, unable to choose, a great sense of crisis and a desire for the secrets of the courtyard, two equally strong feelings colliding fiercely, making him hesitate.

"Damn, fight! Anyway, dying in the dream world is not really death, at most, it is just five days to not be able to enter this dream world, wealth and danger are sought! ”

After struggling for a long time, Wang Yan finally gritted his teeth and decided to enter the courtyard to explore.

Anyway, the price of dying in the dream world is only a few days of not being able to enter it.

He decided to follow his instincts and explore it!

"It is said that curiosity kills cats, and this time, I'm afraid I'm going to be killed by my curiosity again...... Fortunately, I died in the dream, and I didn't have to bear the same heavy price in the real world, but I couldn't sleep for a few days......"

Wang Ember took a deep breath, ready to die in the dream world again.

When I reached the entrance to the courtyard, the unappetizing stickiness that had always been under my feet suddenly disappeared, replaced by the stiffness of the solid ground.

Looking at the towering attics that stood silently in the courtyard, Wang Yan took a deep breath and stepped into it.

Passing through the half-hidden broken wooden door, the strong smell of rot and dampness made Wang Yan subconsciously frown.

In front of you is a courtyard in the style of an ancient garden, with a rockery stacked of rocks in the center and a fountain pool dug out by hand.

It's a pity that everything has long been barren, the pool is dry, covered with gray dust, the rockeries with strange rocks have also been weathered, and the surface of the strange rocks has peeled off, and the scene is no longer the same as it was then.

Rows of neatly arranged medicine fields surround the rockery fountains, and their arrangement is so dense that it is exactly the same as what you saw at the bottom of the valley.

Unlike the valley below, there was nothing left in the neatly stacked medicine fields, nothing but gray soil.

It's like it's just been carved out, and it hasn't had time to sow those so-called spiritual plants.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing, blowing through the weathered holes on the surface of the strange rockery, and the sound of the wind immediately became sharp, like a piercing ghost cry, which was extremely permeable in this silent courtyard.

Wang Yan's face was expressionless, and his vigilance had reached the highest level, and he crossed the rockery and walked towards the buildings behind him.
