Chapter 234: Strange Old Man
Beiming Xiaoyue and the others heard Ye Chen's advice, even if they felt the severity of the matter, the mysterious creature in the stone house might be an extremely terrifying being, otherwise it would not have made Ye Chen show such a strict expression.
When approaching the stone house next to the Stone Bridge of the Blood River, a fog suddenly appeared around it, making the surrounding scene extremely blurry, and it was faintly visible that everything here was changing.
When Ye Chen and the others looked at this area from a distance before, they saw that there was nothing else next to the stone bridge except the stone house, but now it was different, an old tree with vines seemed to appear in the hazy mist, and many objects hung on it, shaking gently and making a creaking sound.
The Wind Leopard Spirit shuddered, feeling the inexplicable coldness and weirdness, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the old tree in the mist, but the fog was too thick for even their eyes to see clearly.
"Brother Ye, can you see clearly, what is hanging on that ancient tree?" Beiming Xiaoyue looked at Ye Chen, thinking that he could give an answer, but Ye Chen shook his head and said: "My eyes can't see through the fog, it's very strange here, even my divine thoughts can't peek into the scene ten zhang away." ”
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, they all knew Ye Chen's primordial god very well, and the divine thoughts of the saint realm couldn't peek into the scene ten zhang away, which was too weird, and it also showed that this place was mysterious and terrifying.
"Don't panic, the mysterious creature in the stone house also has the primordial spirit of the Holy Realm, and it is he who interferes with my divine thoughts. Although he is terrifying, he has been suppressed by order in this Supreme Cave Heaven, and he is unable to use the Great Dao Immortal Energy, if it is about physical body and blood, I believe he is not enough to hurt us. ”
Hearing Ye Chen say this, Bei Ying Xiaoyue and the three major flood relics were slightly relieved and silently followed him.
When they reached the center of the misty zone, they finally saw the ancient tree wrapped in vines, and they couldn't help but gasp in their hearts.
The ancient tree is more than 100 meters high, the branches and leaves are very luxuriant, spread out like a giant umbrella, the branches are wrapped around the vines, it looks like a green python, the most amazing thing is that there is a corpse hanging on the vines, some are snow-white bones, some are flesh and blood that have been peeled off, blood continues to seep out of the flesh and blood, and continues to drip down the body.
Such a scene was so terrifying that Beiming Xiaoyue's delicate body trembled, and hugged Ye Chen's arm tightly, even so, Ye Chen could still feel that her body was constantly trembling.
A gust of wind blows, the branches and leaves shake, and the bones hanging on them and the skinned corpses also shake, and the shaking bones make a creaking and grinding sound, which makes people feel particularly cold in such a scene.
Under the ancient tree, facing Bai Sensen's head, a wall was built around the entire ancient tree, several meters high, and there was a green ghost fire beating in the hollow eye sockets, and in the face of such a scene, even the faces of the three major flood relics began to turn pale.
Ye Chen's eyes were slightly cold, his gaze approached the stone house in the depths of the mist, and said, "You want us to come from, but you deliberately evolved such a fantasy to scare us, do you think these things can bring us negative psychology?"
There was no response in the stone hut deep in the mist, and it was eerily quiet, except for the grinding sound of bones hanging from the trees and swaying in the wind.
"Immortal cultivators like you and me, at any time, only real strength can decide a qiē, these methods of pretending to be gods and ghosts are just inferior tricks, and they will not have any effect. Ye Chen continued to walk towards the stone house in the depths, expressing disdain for this fantasy in his words.
"Hey......"
At this moment, a deep sigh came from the stone house, as if from another time and space, and then an old man with a cricket, thin body, and only skin and bones left in his body walked out of the stone house, carrying an old lantern in his hand, which was lit in it, and it was particularly visible in the dimly lit fog.
"Young man, this is not the place you should come to, but any cultivator who comes here will eventually die. The old man with the lantern made a cold and faint voice, and his hair was scattered, completely covering his entire face, so that he could see his face clearly.
"Is it? The people who have said this kind of thing in front of Ye for so many years don't know how much they can't count, but Ye is still alive. Ye Chen's expression was calm and waveless, his eyes were very deep, and he still walked towards the stone house in the depths of the mist.
"Hehe...... "Hehe The strange old man stretched out his skinny hand and pointed to the skeletons and skinned corpses hanging on the ancient tree, and said, "See them? All the cultivators who come here will end up the same." ”
"You seem to be very jealous, since you wanted to bring us here at the beginning, why do you want us to leave at this time?" Ye Chen smiled faintly, his expression was very calm and calm, for him, although such a scene was weird and terrifying, it was not enough to make him afraid, and the behavior of this strange old man before and after was very different, which made him feel puzzled.
"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about, since you insist on coming, the old man should be the reception, please come in. The strange old man suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Ye Chen and them, only a few meters away.
He carried the old lantern and said, "You young people, come with the old decay, it is going to get dark, and it will come out again, and if you meet it, you are all finished." ”
"Who is it?" the ghost wolf was shocked, and the cold wolf eyes did not leave the strange old man for a moment.
"It's what it is, and I can't tell. The strange old man continued to walk forward, and soon brought Ye Chen and the others to the stone house, opened the door and walked in.
The ghost wolf wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Ye Chen's eyes, and they followed into the stone house, the room was full of blood, the ground and stone walls seemed to have just been soaked in blood, and they were bewitching red.
There were skulls, arm bones, and leg bones hanging everywhere on the walls of the stone house, filled with a particularly cold aura, which made the Northern Darkness Xiaoyue and the three major desolate relics couldn't help but shiver, and became even more vigilant against the strange old man.
"Don't be afraid, these bones are all picked up by old decay. The strange old man seemed to see through their thoughts, held a lantern to shine at those bones, and said: "These are the bones of the old man from the ancient battlefield and other places, don't think it is strange, the old man just likes to collect bones, especially skulls." Look at those empty eye sockets, doesn't there a very special beauty?"
The muscles on the ghost wolf's face twitched, and he had the urge to slap the past, and scolded the old pervert in his heart, there were people who liked to collect heads, and they thought that that thing had a special beauty, but it just ruined the three views.
"Hehe, I didn't expect your hobby to be quite special, and you like to collect skulls. Ye Chen smiled faintly, his gaze swept over those bones, fish arm bones and leg bones, and said: "The bones of these bones are all of the highest quality, and they may have special uses in some aspects, presumably you are such an expert." ”
The strange old man did not answer, but walked to the side and put down the lantern in his hand, and then lit the lamp in the room, so that there was a dim light in the room.
After doing this, the old man turned around and walked to the back room, brought out some food, and put it on the stone table, and then said: "Young man, the old man doesn't know what you said, the old man just likes to collect - there is some food here, which has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood for cultivators, and long-term use can enhance the essence of the body, you use it slowly, don't be polite." ”
Nether Wolf, Wind Leopard, and Blood Lion, when they saw the things on the stone table, two cold lights suddenly flashed in their eyes, but Bei Ying Xiaoyue's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and she turned around and vomited.
"What, isn't this kind of thing to your taste?" The strange old man looked at the three major flood relics and the Northern Darkness Xiaoyue with a puzzled face, then turned around and entered another room, and soon came out again, holding the skeleton with flesh and blood in his hand, and handed it to Ye Chen and the others: "It's better to use these." ”
"Take it away! you take it away!" Beiming Xiaoyue finally couldn't stand it, looking at these already rotten human flesh, she almost didn't vomit out the stomach acid, this kind of thing was too disgusting for her.
"Old man, don't you want to pretend to be a ghost here, do you think that eating human flesh can scare us? Don't forget that we are the remnants of the famine, and our ancestors ate all kinds of meat in endless years, including people!"
"Young people are just angry, irritable and irritable, and the old man is just kind enough to give you things, hey......" The strange old man shook his head and sighed, and then grabbed the flesh and bones and gnawed them on his own.
Such a scene made Beiming Xiaoyue a little unbearable, with the smell of corpse flesh and blood, and the sound of chewing bones, which made her nauseous and disgusting.
The strange old man chewed on the bones, rattling sounds, and all the blood on his mouth was dripping down the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chen and Yu Die looked at him quietly, from the time they entered the stone house to the present, they were all very calm, whether it was seeing those bones on the strong or seeing the human flesh on the table, or seeing the strange old man eating the human bones with blood raw.
"Old man, does it taste good?" Ye Chen sat down in front of the stone table very casually, smiling, looking at the strange old man's mouth full of blood, and said lightly: "Old man, I see that you eat with relish, compared to being very fond of such things, in fact, you don't have to eat these at all, they are all rotten, and the taste must not be good, isn't there all ready-made fresh flesh and blood here?"
"Young man, you're joking, there's no fresh flesh to eat in this stone house. The strange old man put down the bloody bones in his hand, took out a piece of cloth stained with dark red blood and wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and then looked at Ye Chen, and the moment he looked up, his scattered hair flew, revealing his face hidden under his hair.
In an instant, Beiming Xiaoyue and the others couldn't help but gasp, the face that was not covered by the messy hair was not human at all, the eyes were hollow, the eyeballs seemed to have been dug out, there were also several blood holes on the face, and most of the entire teeth were exposed, which was very hideous and terrifying.
