Chapter 107: Unsuccessful
After walking about ten steps, suddenly a transparent wall blocked them, and Hu Lili put his hand on it, knocked, and then tried to move away with his body, but he didn't move at all.
"How can there be an enchantment here," Xiaozhi looked suspicious.
"Why not, since we stole our scroll, of course we have to prevent us from snatching it back" Hu Li shrugged, this place is really cold.
"Of course not, do you feel the aura of the same kind here? Although the aura here is chaotic, there are no demons who can lay down this enchantment," Xiao Zhi said, his hand flashing, and he slapped his palm on the transparent wall.
The wall was attacked, and the surface flickered and darkened, and there was a bee-like roar, and after a while, the flickering symptoms disappeared, but there seemed to be some kind of gas overflowing from the wall, and it emitted a strange smell.
Hu Lili pinched her nose and fanned her in front of her with one hand, she said, "Why is this smell worse than fox odor?"
Xiaozhi glanced at her and thought: I am a fox myself, and I hate the smell of foxes.
"The gas is for defense, it may be mixed with toxins, I think we better get out of here first, we won't be able to get in for a while, we are consuming like this, but we are facing the risk of poisoning" The twig pinched the wind and blew a lot of the gas away, and then she pulled the carp and flew out of the cave.
Standing at the bottom of the waterfall, Hu Lili looked at the entrance of the cave, and finally found the thief's den, and now she had to watch it, there was no way at all, suddenly, she thought of something, and her hand panicked to grab the arm of the twig.
"No, we still have to go up, Erha is very dangerous inside," she said.
"Who told you that Erha is inside" Xiaozhi hurriedly stopped her, "so close, if he is inside, I can feel it"
After hearing this, Hu Li calmed down, now it's just the three of them, and none of them can have another accident.
"He's a human now, and even if he leaves, he won't go too far, after all, his master is still here, isn't he?"
"That's right, maybe he's already back, waiting at the village chief," Hu Li said.
The two of them returned to the cottage, and they had to discuss the scroll again, at least to find out if there was something unknown that really lived in the cave.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Hu Li unexpectedly found that the people in the village were gathered together again, except for the young, women and children were not among them, and the other men were divided into two columns, holding knives in their hands, their knives seemed to be different from ordinary knives, unopened, and looked very dull. And both men and women, they have wires tied around their waists and limbs.
Hu Li felt strange and stepped forward to inquire a middle-aged woman, the woman didn't say anything at first, when Hu Li took a small pearl from her head, she looked around cautiously, she said: "Girl, our village is haunted, in three days the evil ghost who asked for his life will come here to arrest people again, I advise you to leave quickly, you have already stayed overnight, it is better to pack up your things and leave as soon as possible, don't let the evil ghost ask for your life"
"But the female ghost comes every ten days?" Hu asked Li
"Oh, how do you know, don't let anyone else hear, lest you blame me for talking too much" The women hurriedly looked east and west, for fear that others would know that they were talking about female ghosts.
Hu Li's heart was strange, according to reason, since ordinary villagers knew that there were evil spirits entangled here, why didn't they move the village? Besides, ordinary people can't deal with evil spirits, do they have any special methods?
Hu Li's eyes glanced at them, and for a moment she noticed something, and then she whispered in Xiaozhi's ear, and Xiaozhi walked to the woman's side, and one hand gradually approached the wire on the woman's body, and before it could be touched, Xiaozhi showed a surprised expression.
The woman saw that they were acting strangely and left in a hurry, and when she left, Hu Li's eyes attached small branches, and said, "Is there something unusual?"
"That's true," Twig didn't hesitate, "I remember last night we were put on the neck with a knife, and I couldn't use my mana at all, so it seems that there is a restraining effect here, no wonder each of them has this thing tied to their bodies"
"In this way, they can resist the evil spirits, and no matter how powerful the evil spirits are, they will not be able to come near them, so they will destroy their crops and houses, so as to cut off their back roads."
"But ......" Hu Li's eyes were confused, how could a small village have such an instrument, I am afraid there is some origin in this.
They both speculated about the matter, and at that moment, the village chief suddenly stood silently beside them, with a kind and kind smile on his kind and tough face.
When Hu Li saw him, his first reaction was to ask: "Grandpa the village chief, did you see my brother this morning?"
"You mean the man with short hair?"
"yes, I woke up this morning and found that he was gone, and I wanted to ask you, but I found that you were not there"
"Have you looked for me?" the village chief's eyes flashed with doubt.
"Oh, I just knocked on the door, and when I saw that no one answered, I guessed that I might have gone out," Hu Li, seeing that he was a little surprised, didn't tell him about pushing the door in.
"At dawn, I would probably get up early and go to the woods behind the village, where I happened to meet him, and when he saw me, he asked me if there were any wild fruits nearby, and I showed him the way, and there was a field of wild grapes deep in the woods, and he might still be there," said the village chief.
Hu Lixin believed this, and after saying goodbye to the village chief, he went to the back of the village with Xiaozhi, and when he left, the village chief specially explained that if it was too late, he could stay for a few more days. Hu Li nodded, she originally had this intention.
According to the village chief, they came to the forest behind the village, the forest was much farther than expected, and the depth of the forest was also very narrow and full of thorns, but they did not see Erha in it, although there were traces of people coming there.
Where will this Erha go? Hu Li's heart was even more worried, he had run many places this day, even if it was a chance encounter, he should have met it, unless he deliberately avoided them, otherwise how could it be so difficult to find.
"Forget it, don't look for him yet, I promised to help Nan Feng tonight" Hu Li was a little angry, Erha has been like this more than once, and it is estimated that he is making trouble again.
"Are you annoying him again?" asked Twig
"Unless it's a dream at night that he wants to eat dog meat, how can he be like this, it was the same last time, and I had to look for it for a long time."
"Then don't worry, he was just following you last time, didn't he?
Seeing Xiaozhi say this, it is estimated that he will not leave ten, Erha, this arrogant little goblin, is making trouble everywhere when he is a dog, and it is still cloudy and sunny when he is an adult, so he will not be left alone for the time being.
The two returned to the village chief's house with nothing, and waited in their room for the night to come.
