The road to the alley was originally very short, and if you walked on a normal day, you could reach the end in a minute or two.

However, at this moment, these two minutes were infinitely magnified, and every step made Xu Huan feel extremely tormented.

Xu Huan resisted the countless thoughts of retreat and continued to walk forward.

Why do you want to come in?

Xu Huan thought about it, if he went directly to buy ointment, went back to continue studying that cultivation method, and then got up every day to go to the grocery store and come back at night, it was a perfect cycle that was calm and could be repeated for decades, but ....... Sure enough, I still care about it.

If you don't find out today, you will regret it for several years.

Maybe in the future, there will be unrealistic fantasies like "if there is a peerless power in it who is injured, he will go to help, be passed on by the peerless power, and finally become a generation of heroes", right?

Although this kind of plot is not only old-fashioned, but also absurd, it is in line with people's fantasy complex.

Maybe he will follow in the footsteps of his second uncle and dream there every day......

As soon as these thoughts appeared, they undoubtedly eliminated Xu Huan's nervousness to a large extent.

In his opinion, although Yunyan Town is full of poor people, it has been quiet and peaceful for several years, and the people who live here are ordinary people who are troubled by life, so what is the danger?

Nervousness also comes largely from curiosity and fear of the dark and the unknown, as well as the hallucinations that have just appeared.

The faint smell that he had smelled at the intersection gradually became stronger, and Xu Huan smelled it with the smell of rust.

Is it blood?

Just then, his foot hit a hard object.

There was a slight muffled grunt on the ground at the same time.

This muffled snort immediately made Xu Huan excited, and he took a few steps back.

Xu Huan soon felt that he was still too taken for granted and too simple.

Combined with the muffled hum just now, Xu Huan could probably judge that he should have kicked someone's head.

"What a person."

Isn't it actually a hallucination?

The fast-beating heart let Xu Huan know that the emotion called fear breeds in his heart.

Xu Huan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but this was impossible, his heart was beating more violently, Xu Huan stared ahead, breathing very uncomfortably.

If he heard a new movement again, Xu Huan felt that his heart would definitely burst out because of the violent beating.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the alley.

"Who!" Xu Huan was startled, his heart was beating really painfully, but he soon realized that it was his own false alarm. Because the footsteps are produced by themselves slowly retreating.

"I haven't seen anything, whether it's for money or for life, it's the scene like this, but don't count me in, I don't offend people by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds on weekdays, and my family is ......surrounded by walls" Xu Huan secretly muttered in his heart, that person fell to the ground, I don't know if he is dead or alive, but since he can make a sound, he should be alive, right? Although he felt that he should save him, this time fear and reason prevailed over subjective thoughts.

If it was daytime, Xu Huan felt that he was likely to go to the rescue, but the fear caused by this situation overshadowed everything.

The left foot stepped on the air because of nervousness, Xu Huan subconsciously stretched out his right foot and stepped on it hard to stabilize his body, but after the right foot stepped on it, there was a sound of liquid splashing on the ground.

"There's a puddle of blood on the ground?" As soon as Xu Huan had this thought, because his right foot was slippery, his left foot stepped into the air, and his body was no longer stable.

In an instant, the world was turned upside down.

Xu Huan touched the stone road stained with viscous blood with both hands, trying to prop himself up, and inadvertently touched something soft to the touch.

"What is it?" Xu Huan picked up the thing, and then propped himself up.

The edges of what appeared to be scrolls resembled animal fur to the touch, and the middle felt like paper, probably because it was wet with blood, and it was dripping blood.

"Could it be that this is the reason for the murder of money?" Xu Huan had a bad thought.

The scene in front of me suddenly brightened, and the things in my hand suddenly became much clearer.

It looks like it's drawing something, right? Xu Huan glanced at it a few times, and suddenly realized that the focus should be on why it suddenly became brighter.

Where does the light come from?

A voice came from behind him: "Looks like a map, right?" ”

Heartache, pain in which the heart beats violently.

This is Xu Huan's subjective feeling, and before he can experience this feeling in detail, Xu Huan subconsciously jumped up, took a few steps back, and half-turned to look in the direction where the voice came.

Xu Huan's reaction obviously startled the person behind him, and the person carrying the lamp in the darkness took a step back.

"Brother Xu, it's me." A familiar voice rang out.

Only then did Xu Huan see clearly the face of the person carrying a simple lantern, which was consistent with Li Xuankong's face.

However, this did not ease his fears.

"You killed this?" Xu Huan subconsciously had this idea, and immediately blurted it out.

Li Xuankong asked inexplicably, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xu Huan realized that he had overreacted a little, if Li Xuankong killed someone and wanted to kill himself, he should have killed himself secretly just now, why bother to let himself recognize him again, this will only increase the risk.

Li Xuankong's lantern shone on the shadow at the end of the alley, illuminating the figure of a man covered in blood, but at this time, his front half was close to the ground, and he couldn't see the appearance.

"Brother Li, he won't die." Xu Huan said.

Li Xuankong shook his head, did he mean that he was not dead, or did he mean that he was not saved? Xu Huan fell into speculation.

Li Xuankong walked up to him, put the bronze lantern in his hand in front of the map in Xu Huan's hand, and asked, "Brother Xu, can you see anything?" ”

"You're looking too highly of me, aren't you?" Xu Huan smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Li, I feel that it is no problem to look at this map later, the top priority is to rescue that person, maybe he can still be saved, this ghost alley is weird and gloomy, not suitable for staying for a long time." ”

"You're right." Li Xuankong nodded, "It's just ......"

"Just?"

"There's something up ahead."

Li Xuankong looked up and looked ahead.

Xu Huan looked up.

On the surrounding walls, illuminated by the lantern in Li Xuankong's hand, a shadow of an elongated and strange shape was reflected.

The shadow that was reflected was unknown to what kind of creature it was, with a tall, long body with countless spike-like protrusions, and a cow-like horn on its head, and when he looked down, his four legs were as wide as a gourd, but concave in the middle.

"That's not right...... Four, five, six, why do you have six legs? ”

Is this really a creature that can be produced in the quiet and peaceful town of Yunyan?
