What you see is a ruined old house.

Most of the houses are masonry with green tile roofs.

Some houses are even decorated with hanging fish and grass.

But now, all the houses are quiet.

The front and back yards of the door are overgrown with grass.

The wind blows through the doors and windows, and even makes a low whining sound.

It seems more and more desolate here.

Su Mo quietly looked at the surrounding environment, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

This place is very different from the Chenjia Village he imagined.

Logically speaking, it is quite good that this ordinary village can afford to build a large area of adobe houses.

But now, just looking at the size and structure of these houses, no one will doubt that they are the mansions of the rich in the city.

If only there were one or two, it would be fine.

This is true of dozens of them at a glance.

Is Chenjiacun so rich?

Where did they make so much money?

Su Mo thought as he walked forward.

The sound of footsteps on the bluestone slab was empty and spread around.

Although there is no one around here, and there are no demons and monsters to detect.

But Su Mo's keen perception told him that the situation here was quite wrong.

There was an extremely faint smell of evil in the air.

But when he used his mental power to catch it.

The breath vanished again.

It seems to be a complete illusion.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Su Mo pinched a red sticker that was blown by the wind.

Looking at the ancient seal "Feng" written on the sticker, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of crisp footsteps ahead.

He looked up and saw a familiar figure suddenly running forward.

The half-curly hair dyed gray, the neat black suit, and the gold-rimmed glasses he wore on his face.

There is no doubt that this person is the same bar owner with whom he had traded Cloud Breaker in the first place.

Chen Shuo, who is also one of the three class leaders of the House of Peace.

"Master Su, you're here too!"

Chen Shuo ran forward with a look of surprise on his face.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and a big air hand suddenly condensed in front of him, grabbing him.

Abruptly restrained, Chen Shuo looked stunned, and asked anxiously:

"Master Su, what are you doing here? I'm Chen Shuo! ”

Su Mo swept his whole body at a glance, and a strange look appeared in his eyes:

"When I first heard about the Mirror Man, I wanted to see it.

Looking at it now, it is indeed unique.

Whether it is the body or the breath, it is all imitated vividly.

Even the tone and expression of the response seem to have no loopholes at first glance.

What makes me curious is, how did you come to know me?

Could it be that you can reproduce some of the original owner's memories? ”

The anxious expression on Chen Shuo's face slowly converged, and he became cold and dull, like a wax man.

Su Mo clapped his hands and said:

"Looks like I guessed right.

It's no wonder that when I came in just now, I noticed a wave of scanning.

It's a pity that the fluctuation can't break through my mental barrier at all.

I'm afraid that the mirror image you created based on me is just an idiot with an empty appearance.

Anyone who bumps into it can immediately see that something is wrong.

In this way, I can also be considered to have made a contribution to the explorers. ”

Su Mo stopped talking, looked at Chen Shuo, and asked:

"Can you tell me how you came to be?

I'm interested in the reasons and mechanisms behind this.

If you can be honest, maybe I can spare your life. ”

In the face of Su Mo's suggestion, Chen Shuo tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free from the big hand.

He seemed to realize that he had no possibility of escape.

In the next second, Chen Shuo's whole person exploded and turned into a cloud of jet-black aura.

Su Mo used the Red Yang Gong to disperse the clouds, but he didn't have much real feeling.

He realized that this cloud qi was only an external appearance, and did not involve the essence of the formation of the mirror man.

If you want to find out the root of this, you have to go deep into the core area of the foreign land.

"Core?"

Su Mo thought of the plan that had been defined externally.

Because it is a random drop, the first thing to do after the parties enter the foreign land is to find a way to converge.

As for the method of convergence, it has been prepared for a long time.

Su Mo casually took out a thumb-thick reddish-brown short incense.

When the short incense is lit, the hazy red smoke immediately spreads in all directions.

This soul-seeking incense has already recorded the breath of Song Ruyuan and Xue Lansu.

If you can perceive the position of the other party, the smoke will condense into a guiding thread.

But now, there is no corresponding indication.

Su Mo then took out the treasures that should be pursued by seeking qi dispersion and concentrating on the guidance.

But either way, the whereabouts of the other two were not discovered.

"It seems that it is either interfered with by the Exotic Land itself.

Either the distance is too far away and exceeds the sensing range. ”

Su Mo's eyes showed a look of thought:

"From any point of view, the convergence is very difficult to achieve, so you have to take a backup plan."

As early as the outside world, they have already made relevant plans.

In the event that they are unable to meet, the parties will travel to the nearest three families to prepare for the festival.

Theoretically, the arrival of the three of them in each of the three families is the best result.

But it is also possible that two or three people arrive at a certain family at the same time, which can also indirectly achieve the result of convergence.

"Let me look at the map."

"Hmm, the terrain structure and the number of houses here should be close to the southwest corner, closest to the Han family of the three major families."

"Then go to Han's house first and take a look."

Su Mo opened his eyes, his body suddenly burst up, and he reflexively wanted to rush away.

However, he only moved for a moment, and his figure suddenly stopped.

Looking at a small courtyard in front of him, it suddenly became farther away from him...... Instead of moving forward, the previous move is moving backwards!

"Sure enough, the spatial structure inside is extremely chaotic, and once the speed exceeds a certain limit, it will enter the chaotic space.

In other words, it deliberately limits the speed above a certain limit.

According to the actual experience, it will not be affected below the 3rd level, and it will become confused above the 3rd level.

What is the reason for this? ”

Up to now, Su Mo has been in and out of a lot of foreign lands and has accumulated considerable experience.

He knew that there were often unique rules in a foreign land.

Those rules tend to be related to the derivatives inside.

It is often related to their attachment, self-preservation, attack, killing, etc.

But here, as Xue Lansu said, is very different from the ordinary exotic.

Not only is the surroundings real, but even the rules set here are very special.

Su Mo keenly realized that the so-called speed restriction was actually to protect something.

What the hell happened here?

Looking at the festive stickers scattered on the ground, Su Mo's eyes were clouded.

After a moment of silence, he stepped forward.

As you walk, you observe the situation around you.

All you see along the way are dilapidated houses.

Occasionally, festive stickers are attached to the doors and windows that have never been removed.

The paper is written with ancient seal characters such as "Feng", "Fu", and "Nong".

At first glance, it looks as if every household is celebrating the Saturnalia Festival.

On the ground, in addition to stickers blown away by the wind, you can also see children's toys such as rattles and nine rings.

Occasionally, you can see items such as overturned and damaged carts and boilers used to make snacks.

You can imagine what a chaotic scene it was.

The only thing that is strange is that there are no corpses or bones left on the ground.

Not even a single piece of clothing remained.

It was as if the villagers who were noisy on the street had collectively evaporated, and there was no trace of them.

Even inside those dark houses, after sweeping through them with spiritual power, there was no sign of anyone presceding.

"It's ...... The smell of blood? ”

Su Mo's nose moved slightly, and he suddenly smelled an extremely faint bloody smell.

If he hadn't awakened the talent of the spleen, he might not have been able to detect such a faint aura at all.

But now that it smells, it means clues.

After all, just now he relied on the blood in his body to identify Chen Shuo's identity.

After all, the mirror man is just a special creation based on rules, and there is no real flesh and blood in the body.

This means that the blood that we smell now must be from a real person.

Stuck at the speed limit of the 3rd order, Su Mo traveled all the way, and soon came to the source of the spread of blood qi.

What I saw was a young corpse in modern attire.

He collapsed on the wooden wheelbarrow, his eyes blank, his mouth slightly open, his chest stained with a large patch of blood, and a small puddle of blood remaining under him.

"The time of death is close to twenty-four hours, that is, I came in last night."

Su Mo glanced at the sky, which still seemed bright.

The time here is not consistent with the outside world.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when he came in.

It was five or six o'clock in the afternoon at most, and it was still some time before it got dark.

Considering that the timing of the opening of this exotic land is relatively regular.

The deceased is supposed to be the one who came in last night.

It's likely that you will hang up as soon as you come in.

There is a high probability that he was killed by the mirror man.

Su Mo couldn't help but think of Chen Shuo he had just met.

The answer is obvious.

"For innocent people who are accidentally swept in, this is truly a Jedi of death."

Su Mo sighed, and suddenly his heart moved.

He was keenly aware of the fluctuation of blood in the distance.

"It's a living person!"

Su Mo immediately swept over.

……

Inside a courtyard with blue tiles and red walls.

Several people were rummaging around the house.

Suddenly, a long-haired young man in his early twenties suddenly smiled and said:

"What do you think I've found?!"

And all the people looked at it.

And he saw that he was holding a black jar in his hand.

When the jar is opened, you can see a yellow-brown sticky substance.

"It's ...... Honey? ”

A big man with pigtails on his head said suspiciously.

"That's right, Brother Hao, this is honey!

The shelf life of honey is much longer than you think.

This is edible honey! ”

Facing the long-haired young man with excitement on his face, Brother Hao said coldly:

"What's the use of getting honey? There was no way to help us out! ”

"You can't say that."

Another red-clothed royal sister next to her hurriedly added:

"We don't know how long it will take us to find the exit.

Even if everyone is a cultivator, they will be tired and hungry.

At most, it's a little longer than the average person.

Wait until all the compressed dry food on your body is gone.

The jar of honey that Xiao Yu found will be of great use. ”

"I agree with Sister Hong!"

The punk girl with her tongue in the back said with a grin.

"Brother Hao, Sister Hong, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, you see there is a diary here."

An older young man wearing a hat pointed to the notebook in the drawer and said with excitement on his face.

"Ah Tao don't move yet, wait for me to deal with it."

Brother Hao strode closer, took out a bottle of crimson liquid, and poured it on the diary.

The liquid quickly seeped into the diary, and the entire journal quickly hardened.

He picked up the diary and opened it on the spot.

The five of them all huddled together, looking at each other with curiosity on their faces.

Because of the passage of time, many of the handwriting in the diary has become illegible.

Through the remnants above, it can be vaguely identified that this is a diary written by a girl named Chen Bangxing.

It records many trivial things, such as what the master taught today, how difficult the homework he left behind, and how he secretly liked someone.

But with the quick flipping through of the crowd.

The following diaries gradually revolve around the same theme.

That's the Saturnalia Festival.

For example, the position of the festival was selected by lottery.

Communicate with others about the festival.

and some preparations for the festival.

The contents of the entire diary look unremarkable.

But there was one that grabbed everyone's attention.

"The treasures of the Han family?"

Looking at that diary, everyone's faces showed a contemplative expression.

Chen Bangxing is good friends with a concubine of the Han family, and they are two best friends and playmates who have no guesses.

In order to prepare for the Saturnalia Festival, the Han family invited several treasures that had never been seen before.

For one of them, there is a very detailed description.

It even said that it was the key to being able to meet the god of agriculture!

"Does the so-called god of saturnalia really exist in this village?"

The long-haired young man Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

Ah Tao, who was wearing a hat, replied with a solemn face:

"It is very likely that it does exist, and it is very likely that Chenjia Village will become what it is now, and it is likely to be inseparable from that god of agriculture."

"Listening to that, the god of agriculture is not a good thing."

The punk girl Xiao Ning's eyes rolled.

Sister Hong, who is mature, said with a gloomy look in her eyes:

"We're in this foreign land right now.

The Saturnalia is probably not dead, and if we don't find a way out of the land, the end may be miserable.

Don't forget, we started with ten people, and now there are only five left! ”

"Maybe the others just scattered and didn't run into each other for a while?"

Xiao Yu said with little confidence.

"Self-deception is not a good thing, especially in the face of danger."

Ah Tao reminded meaningfully.

"All in all, let's go to Han's house first."

Brother Hao put away the notebook and said:

"While it's still dark and the monsters haven't come out at night, we have to find a way to get out and search around in this foreign land as much as possible.

Since it was mentioned above that the Han family has a treasure that can see the god of agriculture, maybe that treasure is still in the Han family, we can go over and take a look first.

Even if you can't find that treasure, you can rest at Han's house at night to prevent calamity. ”

Hearing the word calamity, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little ugly.

And just as everyone agreed, a voice came from inside the room again:

"Can you bring me one?"
