Chapter 182

"The energy decays after reaching a peak." Du Zhengyi looked at Luo Qi again, and didn't mention that he looked like a popsicle.

Roach frowned and thought, "That was the spike that caused the night whistle. ”

"Yes." Du Zhengyi said, and he began to move forward again, and this time the pace increased, and Roach almost trotted to catch up with him.

"You say that night howls often occur in the makeshift barracks on the march?" Rocky asked in a low voice.

"So it is also called the battalion roar, the soldiers in the war are much more nervous than the ordinary people, and when the battalion roar occurs, a few overly nervous nerves can cause the whole battalion to fight. This is a very old way of guarding against humans, and if the human army threatens the mage colony, the number of mages is much smaller than the number of human armies, or the remaining mages are low on energy, this is a very useful way to stimulate the human brain at night and make them lose their minds. Du Zhengyi said.

"Do you think Guan Yushan did it?" Rocky asked.

"You have also seen the action mode of the Pure Land Temple, Guan Yushan should have found out a lot of things, and he must have been mainly guarding against humans at the last moment. However, this kind of weapon is not a first-class weapon for a division to protect itself, it is more like Guan Yushan lit an ancient beacon tower. Du Zheng said as he walked, he looked at the darkness in the distance, his eyesight was very good, and a little light could make him see the road ahead. The mage has a better choice for self-preservation, but a riot like tonight will definitely be classified as a serious unnatural phenomenon, which is equivalent to a death beacon prepared by Guan Yushan for himself, and Qionglin's executing mage will be there tomorrow morning at the latest. But in the end, his death could have happened very suddenly, and the process of death was so gentle that he didn't realize the need to activate the beacon, and the police discovered his death before Jonlin. My gut feeling is so, but there's something unclear about it. ”

"I'm also a bit confused." Roach said tremblingly, he was already tired and numb, and the trembling at this moment was completely frozen. "Is Guan Yushan the kind of person who plays with the living dead? Look at the children he raised, look at Guan Xinyue, I don't think he is that kind of person. ”

Du Zhengyi didn't answer, he led the way in front, agilely navigating through the woods, bypassing the truncated part of the path. "Separated by a mountain, few people come to this place."

Roach's heart moved when he said this, and he fell into deep thought, and even forgot about the cold. They hurried along for a while, and Rocky suddenly gasped.

"They say that monsters and demons appear at the same time." Roach suddenly muttered behind him.

Du Zheng glanced back at Luo Qi and asked him with some surprise, "What did you say?" ”

Luo Qi raised his head and looked at him in the dark, "I said what Wen Lin said, she said that the time when Qi Qi appeared was a demon beast walking with evil spirits, this is clearly a description of human beings. So the evil ghost does not refer to the mage who drives away the poor Qi, how can human beings see the magician who is psychic with the poor Qi? It must be the living dead, and the living dead will be recognized as evil spirits! ”

"The legend that there is an empty mulberry mountain in this world is already very bizarre, can human beings still get a empty mulberry mountain in every province?" Du Zhengyi said, reaching out to stop Luo Qi's frightened eyes as he widened wider. "We've gotten there, the village is at our feet, and we'll see everything later."

Roach was stunned, swallowed hard, and nodded silently.

"It's really a village down there, and your feeling is accurate." Du Zhengyi said, he eased up, "If you are sure that this is also an empty mulberry mountain, then our trip tonight will be a big job." If I don't feel good, let you go."

Luo Qi nodded without waiting for him to finish, "I'll run right away, whether you live or die, don't worry, buddy." ”

Du Zhengyi couldn't help but laugh, he turned his head to stare at the darkness in front of him, and gradually became serious. The valley was like a giant bowl, and the village was silent at the bottom of the bowl, without a single light.

Luo Qi didn't know how Du Zhengyi could see clearly, but he guessed that Du Zhengyi was not looking with his eyes, he was measuring with magic. Roach could not have looked at it now, but the thought of the ancient, cold consciousness in that high-energy crystal made the gastric juice freeze.

Du Zhengyi suddenly walked down quickly, and Luo Qi hurriedly followed, keeping a step away from him. The mage's flames burned around the outskirts of the village, tongues of fire licked the dead grass, sparks flew up like fireflies, and Roach's ears filled with the crunch of burning branches. A figure flashed through the streets and alleys of the village, and Roach's heart tightened.

Du Zhengyi walked slowly through the gap in the flames, Luo Qi looked at him anxiously, and his intuition was that something was going to happen, and Du Zhengyi's footsteps stopped at this time.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qi asked in a low voice, and stepped forward to get closer to Du Zhengyi. To his surprise, Du Zhengyi stretched out an arm to stop him and block him behind him.

"I've been here." Du Zhengyi whispered.

Roach was taken aback, looking at the deserted village in amazement behind him. Half of the courtyard walls have collapsed, grass grows on the collapsed earthen walls, the yard is full of rubble, and the houses have long been devoid of doors and windows, perhaps demolished when the people here left. This place should have been uninhabited for a long time, and Luo Qi can also see at a glance that there is a strong style of rural China in the 90s, which is not quite the same as today's countryside, so it is very recognizable.

Roach doesn't think such deserted villages are rare, and people who play off-road occasionally find such places, and in the first twenty years, with the change of production plans, such as the end of mining in mining areas, and the return of farmland to forests, it is possible to leave such deserted villages after the production team leaves. He even hoped that Du Zhengyi was mistaken, maybe he had been to a deserted village similar to this one. After all, in the past few decades, when China was engaged in construction, it did not seek characteristics, and all the houses in the country were built similarly, and the countryside was a bit divided between north and south. If Du Zhengyi walked a thousand kilometers to the west, the countryside he encountered would not be much different from here.

It was the first time he saw Du Zheng as if he were facing a great enemy, and the strangeness of this place was a little unlucky.

"Be careful." Du Zhengyi said, "Stand behind me, don't touch anything, if things are not good, we will retreat at any time, and leave this place to Qionglin to solve by himself." ”

"Okay." Rocky said honestly. His eyes flickered, and he couldn't see if there was really a figure flashing behind the courtyard wall.
