Chapter Eighty-Five: Among the Towns
There was a hard touch under his feet, and Shu Jue was stunned for a moment, and she knew that they had entered the confines of the town.
After a few steps inside, the fog gradually dissipated, and the buildings inside were not quite what they had thought.
There are no ruins, and there is no desolation.
The tall building still stands, and the smell of decay blows in the face, like an old man in his twilight watching these outsiders silently.
Unknown vines crisscrossed the faded walls, the streets were meticulously paved with stone slabs, and the corners of the roadside were overgrown with weeds.
There were only a few of them on the empty streets, and there was no sign of any other life in the whole town, and there was nothing but depression.
"This ...... Is it really a domain? "There is not even a living creature, and there are no dead things, as if there are only a few of them left in the whole town, Lian Yan looked around as he walked, and even wondered if Mu Qianqian and Shujue were mistaken?
"This place is indeed quirky, don't take it lightly." Lian Huo summoned the natal sword, but found that the city was forbidden to fly, as if a mysterious force pressed on his sword and made him unable to move, until he put the sword away.
Now that there is no way to retreat, a few people have stubbornly walked along this road.
Some of the houses on the side of the road were closed, some were open, and it was pitch black.
When they entered, they noticed that their night vision seemed to be affected, and they couldn't see anything in the house for a while.
The wide open door is like a giant mouth of the abyss, as if it can swallow a person with a single step closer.
"Brother, are you too nervous?" Lian Yan turned around, walked back with his back to the street, originally he was holding Shen Xingzhan, but now he let go of his hand, only he put his hands around his chest, with a relaxed smile on his face, he shrugged his shoulders: "What's this?" ”
Before his words fell, he successfully saw the faces of the four people in front of him change in unison.
Shen Xingzhan was holding Shujue with his left hand, and at this moment, his palms were densely covered with sweat, and he grabbed Shujue's wrist and shook it violently: "Just now...... Is there something that has passed? ”
It's just a momentary effort, as if something hidden behind the night fog flashes by at the intersection not far away.
The black shadow was too fast, making Shen Xingzhan subconsciously feel that he had seen it wrong.
Just when he was denying himself in his heart, another black shadow jumped over, and he saw that the figure looked like a human being-Shen Xingzhan's scalp was numb, and it exploded directly.
Where are the other people in this place! What the hell is that?
"It's something."
When Shu Jue said this, he stared closely behind Lian Yan, and his straight gaze made Lian Yan's heartbeat miss half a beat, he turned his head stiffly, the street behind him was empty, how could there be anything they said?
The corners of Lian Yan's mouth curled stiffly: "Don't make such jokes......" His voice gradually became smaller, and finally he trembled a little, staring at Shu Jue and the others behind him, his eyes were about to pop out.
In the silent night, the sound of him swallowing saliva was particularly obvious, the corners of his mouth had long been curled, and he trembled and said: "Behind you...... What is it? ”
A group, a big group!
The night breeze blew away the fog a little, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.
Greedy, cruel, bloodthirsty, dozens of identical pairs of red eyes are staring at them.
Heavy wheezing sounds, accompanied by a smell of blood and rancidity, followed by the drifting night breeze into the tip of the nose.
"My heavenly ......" Shen Xingzhan turned his head and met his red eyes, and his whole breath stagnated, "Is this the ...... we just saw, behind Lian Yan?"
There is almost only one possibility that can be related to red eyes.
A hoarse and unpleasant roar suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the night.
Those things moved extremely quickly, and they saw black afterimages rushing towards them with lightning speed.
[Shu Jue, these are pseudo-demon clans, the monks you said went mad during cultivation. These people's cultivation is all above Jindan, hurry up! Yinyue's voice appeared in time, Shujue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she didn't have time to explain the situation clearly, so she could only shout: "Run!" ”
Lian Yan reacted the fastest, and as soon as Shujue's words fell, he slipped away, and the rest of the people followed.
A few people ran wildly as if they were dying, and the red-eyed monster chased after them.
"No, it's not a way to keep running like this." Lian Huo gasped.
Their monks' physique is much better than that of ordinary people, but in the end, they are only mortal in the flesh, and it is extremely unfavorable for them to drag it out like this, and when their physical strength is exhausted, they are quite clear in their hearts.
Half an hour must have passed since the buildings retreated rapidly, and the number of monsters behind them had increased rather than decreased, as if they had to tear the intruders to shreds.
Shen Xingzhan and Mu Qianqian's physical strength was relatively weak, and they were more likely to get tired than a few sword cultivators, and at this time, the two of them had already exhaled heavily, and they seemed to be almost to the limit.
The road seemed to be coming to an end, and further on there was a clearing, for it was impossible to see how big the clearing was because of the fog, and there was no way to know what else was behind it.
Shu Jue gritted her teeth and reversed the direction: "Go into the room!" ”
I didn't observe very carefully just now, but Shu Jue noticed that these things came out of the roof and various places behind the house, but nothing came out of the house.
Does this mean that the house is relatively safer?
Before they had time to think about it, several people took the opportunity to enter the nearest room.
Even after the fire hall, before the door of the house could be closed, a sharp claw that seemed to be a human hand but crawled with magic patterns reached in, and it was about to catch his face!
The cold light flashed, and Shu Jue held the Moon Guiding Sword in his hand and cut off the claws with a sword.
The thing fell to the ground and disappeared instantly, as if it were just their delusion.
Lian Huo exhaled heavily, his heart was about to jump to his throat, and it took a while to ease up, and he thanked Shu Jue in a low voice.
Shujue shook her head and said no.
A few people stood by the door and recovered for a while, and Mu Qianqian took out a few lighting balls from the storage bag and handed them to them.
As soon as the illuminated ball came out, the surrounding area seemed to be much brighter.
With this light, they can see clearly the environment they are in, which seems to be an inn.
The tables and chairs in the lobby were all intact, except for a thick layer of ash on them.
The entire first floor is not a lot of space, and you can see it at a glance, except for them, there is nothing superfluous, and there are no red-eyed monsters.
Shu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, so far, she chose the right one.
"Huh...... This is ......" Shen Xingzhan's attention was attracted by a notebook on the counter, he tentatively touched the notebook, looked around, and saw that there was no movement, so he opened it.
