Chapter 423: A Desolate Town
There was a sporadic drizzle in the gloomy sky, and the whole world looked hazy, the cold wind was howling, and the cold wind swept across this barren land, and all of them looked so gloomy.
In the wind and rain, a seemingly ordinary town is quietly bathed in this cold wind and drizzle, and the jagged houses are scattered in all corners of this town, which is incompatible with this desolation.
It was ten o'clock in the middle of the day, but the wide streets of the town were now deserted, with the upside-down door flags, the rotting garbage that smelled of rot, and the dilapidated scene of the streets, let the bleak wind whine and whimper.
Stompe, stomp!
At the entrance of the town, the sound of footsteps was faint, and in the hazy drizzle, a figure slowly emerged from a distance, limping, apparently seriously injured.
As he got closer, the faces of the people who came gradually became clearer, a crumpled black robe, with a little dirt and mud everywhere on the robe, unkempt, and on the cheeks that were also covered with this wind and frost, there were also filths that could not bear to look at directly. It's just that underneath this layer of filth, there are a pair of blue eyes that shimmer with fine light.
"Where is this?" he said, removing the package from his body and taking out a crumpled map and looking at it carefully.
"It's strange that there is no representation of this town on the map. Forget it, let's go in first. â
After putting away the map and carefully looking around the town, he walked into the town with his feet raised.
One step at a time, every step he took seemed to be extremely difficult, and after not even walking a few steps, he had to stop and rest for a while before continuing to walk forward.
"Damn, I was really said by Tianfeng, this sequelae of removing the puppet is really uncomfortable. â
The corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of bitterness, he tightly clutched his aching chest, and spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would pull the injury.
This person was Gu Chen, who had left the Earth Cang Academy and went to Haotian Academy alone.
Now it has been almost three months since he left Dicang City, and after he came out of Dicang Academy, in order not to be discovered by the eyes and ears of the Shen family, he also gave up the official road and chose to escape into the 100,000 mountains.
It was only not long after that that the sequelae caused by the cutting of the puppet in his body were also completely revealed, according to the words of the Demon Flame Tianfeng, he had resolutely killed Shen Fusheng when his injuries were not completely healed, and then he forcibly fought with the Lord of the Dark Moon Palace, which undoubtedly aggravated the deterioration of the injury.
And he also tried this kind of bitter fruit thoroughly when he traveled through 100,000 mountains.
At that time, it was just a month since he left the academy, and in the 100,000 mountains, the puppet sea in his body churned without warning, and the qi that was originally filled with the puppet sea was also disordered immediately, and he seemed to be wanton in the meridians, if it wasn't for the demon flame Tianfeng and Shiluo Yuzhu forcibly suppressing the ** demon puppet power at the critical moment, maybe he would have become a waste person at that time.
However, from that time on, he found that the demon puppet power in his body was escaping at an extremely alarming speed every day, and what surprised him even more was that he could no longer feel the existence of the spiritual power of heaven and earth at all, let alone condense the puppet power again.
In his case, Demon Flame Tianfeng just coldly told him, this is the sequelae that will be produced by eliminating the puppet, and his situation is of course more severe, even the soul origin has been harmed, unless he can find a heavenly treasure suitable for raising the puppet, otherwise this kind of trauma can never be made up, in other words, he who has been hurt by the origin, don't want to condense the puppet power in this life.
From that moment on, because without the support of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the connection between him and the puppet was completely broken, and he finally stumbled out in the 100,000 dangerous mountains. All of a sudden, that's three months.
Walking slowly on this dilapidated town, witnessing the bleak scene around him, his heart sank to the bottom.
He could sense that the town was still inhabited, but they seemed to be extremely alert, just watching him through the edge of the window, and as soon as he saw him turn his head to look at him, they immediately closed the window tightly, which was really strange.
After a long time, a big wine word hanging upside down in front of him caught his attention. Standing in front of the closed door, he thought for a moment, and then gently pushed the heavy door open.
The door opened, and when he entered the restaurant, the scene inside the restaurant was completely different from the outside, all kinds of people sat around all corners of the room, and when he stepped into the door, everyone was staring at him with extraordinary vigilance, and the atmosphere became solidified.
"This guest officer, are you staying in the hotel or taking a break, we are one of the best restaurants in this town, come, come, sit here, sit here." â
After a while, a young boy who looked like a young man came from the crowd and led him to a wooden table with a flattering face.
"Let's rest for a moment. Gu Chen said lightly, but his eyes had been quietly looking around the surrounding people, and on the faces of those people, he could feel an unusually strong murderous aura.
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you. â
"Whatever. â
"Understand, guest officer, sit down for a while, and I'll go get you food. â
The young man who looked like a little second ran to the back hall with a smoke, and in an instant, he had time to take a good look at this strange place.
The restaurant is divided into two floors, the place where he is located is the hall on the lower floor, which is also the place with the most people, and the upper floor is composed of rooms that do not look large, and it is supposed to be for those who live in the hotel.
Sitting on the chair, he slowly closed his eyes, and carefully felt the qi qi around him, although there was no puppet power, but all the perception of the Xuan Puppet Realm did not disappear, and he just took this opportunity to explore the reality of those people with hideous faces.
After a circle, he couldn't help but take a long sip, at least among these people in the hall, he didn't find the puppeteer's breath, but a few flesh lĂŹ were a little stronger. As for the upper room, he didn't investigate it carefully, first, to use this perception to exacerbate the deterioration of the injuries in his body, and secondly, these people had not shown any hostility towards him until now, but let them be.
"Guest officer, your dish is here, please use it slowly!"
Just as he sat down, the young man who looked like a little second came over with a big disc.
"Okay, got it!"
He replied lightly, looking at the dishes in front of him that were mixed with the hit ingredients, although it didn't seem to be related to the deliciousness, but compared to the previous days when he drank blood in the 100,000 mountains, it was still a lot better.
Sweeping the food in the disc like a storm and resting for a long time, just as he was about to settle the bill and leave with great satisfaction, a woman suddenly appeared upstairs that caught his attention, and what interested him even more was that there was a piece of jade with a warm color hanging from the woman's neck.
"It's going to be a piece of ice jade!" the corners of his mouth slowly curled into an imperceptible curvature.
