Chapter Seventy-Three: Scarlet Footprints (Ask for Recommendation)

The night is darker.

A blue mist spread out and shrouded a radius of tens of miles.

Another small village a dozen miles away.

The same silence and dead silence.

Suddenly.

Smack.

The soles of a pair of feet landed here, making a slight noise.

It was a figure dressed in black, looking left and right, mysterious, and his body flashed into the village.

After he entered, one after another figures converged from other directions and rushed in.

After four or five people entered one after another, in the darkness not far away, a mysterious figure wearing a bronze mask, holding a black iron staff, and carrying a package behind him came out.

The mysterious figure didn't immediately enter.

Instead, after observing the work of half a cup of tea on the periphery, he stepped out of his feet and walked gently inside.

But just as he had just taken a step, he suddenly paused and hid again.

Not far away, another figure sneaked in, heading towards the village.

Qi Yun frowned, he was already the sixth.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the token was a means of communication.

The person who sent the contact message should be in the depths of the village.

He looked at the purple token in his hand.

The token's glow was still faintly radiating outward.

He slipped the token into his bosom, and waited a few more moments, making sure that there was no one around, before he took a step and cautiously approached it.

Anyway, he has a jade pendant on him, so he shouldn't be discovered.

However, if the other party can control bugs or spirits, it is difficult to say.

Qi Yun decided to take a gamble, his mental power was urged to the extreme, his ears and eyes became extremely sharp, and he was ready to run away as soon as anything went wrong.

As he walked intently, the sound of footsteps was faint and inaudible.

Step by step, I finally saw a bright place in the depths of this village.

A faint light came from a window, and there were inaudible whispers inside, as if someone had deliberately covered it up.

Qi Yun didn't come closer, he stopped when he was still more than fifty meters away, and his body gently entered another room, closed the door, put his ear to the wall, and listened silently.

With his current strong spiritual power, as long as he wanted to listen, he could hear any wind and grass within a radius of hundreds of meters.

However, the other party's conversation was obviously deliberately covered by some secret method.

So now he can only lean back to a distance of about fifty meters to listen.

Even so, it is not too clear to hear, and many keywords cannot be captured.

As for why he didn't go deeper, it was because this distance was just a safe distance, and if anything happened, he could escape as soon as possible.

If you get closer, if you encounter problems, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.

There are too many weird professions in this world, so you have to be careful.

"It's not right, there's an unimaginable evil that takes us all as prey... There are ghosts in this area, so don't go it alone..."

"The people who came in before are all dead, and the ones who died are very evil, and that evil seems to be invisible, and can create a triple illusion..."

"This time the shrine is different from the previous ones, could it be that there are other things down there, not long ago, someone dug up the bloody dirt..."

"Then what should we do, there are two inns, do you want to act separately..."

"It's a pity that the news we got from Zihua Mansion this time was too hasty, and the preparation was not sufficient..."

"Well, maybe I can go and see it tonight..."

Bursts of muffled voices kept coming.

Qi Yun was puzzled when he heard this.

Something evil?

What kind of evil can stop these transcendental beings, awakened beings?

There are also two inns, what inn?

These people are from Zihua Mansion?

He tilted his ears and continued to listen.

It was extremely quiet outside, the hazy moonlight was sprinkled, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of frost...

He was in this position, just close to the window, and while leaning against the wall and listening, he could look out the window with his eyes and keep an eye on the movement outside.

Just as he continued to listen, suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps sounded quietly outside the window.

Extremely faint, barely audible.

Qi Yun's eyes narrowed and he looked out the window.

Click, click, click...

The subtle footsteps are constantly approaching, and if it weren't for the abnormal mental power, it would definitely not be possible to find the slightest.

Outside the window formed by the three wooden fences, a line of bloody footprints appeared, step by step, walking towards the flickering and dimly lit room in front of them.

The strange thing is that there are no people to be seen, only two bloody footprints can be seen.

However, the bloody footprints also dissipated quickly, and soon after they were left, they gradually faded.

The owner of the two bloody footprints didn't seem to notice Qi Yun either, and quietly walked through the window door where he was.

Qi Yun blinked, blankly watching the bloody footprints pass in front of him.

So!

What is it?

Are you blind?

Don't see yourself?

He rubbed his chin and quietly tilted his head out of the window, looking at the bloody footprints.

Brush!

The bloody footprints suddenly disappeared the moment they approached the room.

The next moment, the people who were talking in the room fell silent

The already faint lights went out in an instant, and the whole room fell into darkness.

Then, a low roar rang out, screaming, and the whole room exploded on the spot.

Qi Yun's eyes widened directly.

Bang bang bang!

There was a scuffle, and there were shouts.

It didn't last long, and soon he noticed a blood-stained figure clutching his arm, and fled into the distance in a hurry, disappearing into the vast darkness.

The house had completely collapsed, and the floor was littered with rubble.

Several corpses lay there miserably, their facial features were dripping with flesh and blood, as if their faces had been torn off, their eyes were round, and in the faint moonlight, they could vaguely see the remnants of horror.

Click, click, click...

The subtle footsteps sounded again.

Two lines of bloodstained footprints emerged from the corpses.

The blood-colored footprints were more profound than they had been when they had just walked past.

This time, too, the speed of dissipation has become slower.

Qi Yun's heart was solemn, and he didn't dare to move, quietly watching the line of blood-colored footprints pass in front of the window where he was again.

He tilted his ears and listened for a while, only to make sure that the blood-colored footprints were far away, and then he frowned.

Could that thing just now be the weirdness of this group's mouth?

The strength is indeed terrifying.

He had a feeling that he couldn't see through it.

Fortunately, there is that piece of jade pendant on his body, which can cover everything.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be discovered by that thing.

Now the problem comes again.

It seems that something has happened to the awakened and transcendent beings who came before.

So, does he still want to gather wool here?

Qi Yun thought about it and decided to wait another night to take a look.

It took two days to get here, and it was not his style to run back without understanding anything.

He waited in his room, and after two hours, it was finally dawn.

Qi Yun took off his bronze mask, moved his stiff body, pushed open the door, and walked out.
