On the tattered wooden bed, Yao Qian and Yi were lying on it.

He frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was very strange, as if he was listening to the voices of others, but he couldn't hear clearly.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of 'tuk tuk'.

This knock on the door woke Yao Qian directly from his sleep, and he suddenly sat up half-sitting, but his mind was in chaos.

However, the Sun Burning Knife in his hand was held in his hand!

After a few breaths, Yao Qian's mind gradually came to his senses, and looking at the door that was still knocking, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked.

"Who is it?"

"Brother Yao, it's me, Cen Yaqiu, we're ready to go. ”

Hearing the crisp sound outside the door, Yao Qian looked out of the window, and the golden sunlight projected along the tattered window paper, forming a circle of light spots on the ground.

It looks like it's not early!

Jumping off the bed, Yao Qian replied.

"Got it, wait for me in a moment. ”

After speaking, he put the Sun Burning Knife in his hand into the sheath, and came to the mirror to tidy up his clothes and appearance.

Looking at himself in the mirror, his face was slightly pale and his expression was slightly tired, Yao Qian's heart was uncertain.

He didn't sleep well all night last night.

In his sleep, there always seemed to be a strange voice whispering in his ear, so that he couldn't sleep anyway, but he wanted to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear what the strange voice was saying?

He wanted to take a closer look at the strange man's face, but he couldn't see it either.

It's like there's a weird veil on each other's bodies.

"Maybe it's just that my nerves are too tense, thinking about it day and dreaming at night, but who was that dark shadow last night?"

The look of doubt in his eyes flickered, and then he regained his spirits and walked out the door.

In the small hall on the second floor, the bonfire was already burning, and the smell of meat came into their noses, which made people appetize.

Yao Qian came to the small hall and found that only Cen Yaqiu and An Zijia were busy, and he was about to go in, and Xu Pengzheng and Wang Tianyi in the back also followed.

came to the small hall and found a chair to sit down, Yao Qian's eyes unconsciously swept around the faces of several people.

Cen Yaqiu and An Zijia seem to be in the best spirits, and after being busy, they can't see a little tiredness, but the other two girls are in a state of malaise, yawning from time to time, and they don't seem to have a good rest.

Xu Pengzheng and Wang Tianyi looked as usual, and they couldn't see anything.

His eyes swept over everyone, and following the dark shadow in his memory, he felt that he seemed to be a little different from everyone.

"Alright, let's get ready for dinner. ”

Cen Yaqiu and An Zijia brought the cooked meat and fresh soup to the table, and everyone was not polite, so they ate meat with fresh soup, but they ate deliciously.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and everyone finished breakfast, Wang Tianyi sat on the chair and said casually: "Brother Yao, how to arrange it for a while?"

Yao Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly reacted.

He glanced up at the sun outside the window, which was already rising and the sun was beginning to spread.

"Let's go to the village and investigate around to see if there are any other gains, if we still can't find those things, we will go into the village, what do you think?"

Yao Qian was still thinking about last night's incident in his heart, but he replied like this.

Wang Tianyi pondered for a while, but did not refuse, although the original plan was to enter directly, but to check around, it would not be too much waste of time.

Everyone had no opinion, and they went back to their rooms to clean up.

After a pillar of incense, the eight people converged again and ran in the direction of the village.

Out of the county seat, as far as the eye can see, all are withered yellow weeds and rotten shrubs, sparse rocks protrude outside, the wind blows, whining, like a ghost crying, making people feel chills in their hearts.

The eight of them kept walking and ran wildly, and after a quarter of an hour, the village was already in sight.

Soon, the people were again outside the village, beside the rotten tree, on which there was nothing but empty ropes, swaying in the wind.

The dried corpse that appeared in front of everyone yesterday was not the slightest trace.

Even if they looked at this scene again, everyone's hearts did not feel a slight chill, and they looked at the village in front of them, full of all kinds of jealousy.

Because of the unknown, so fear!

"Let's go, divide into two teams, and set off from the left and right sides of the village until we converge, there is no problem. ”

Wang Tianyi asked.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

Soon, the eight of them were divided into two teams, each attacking in different directions.

Outside the village, the walls had collapsed, cracking one after another, and at a distance of hundreds of meters, there was a towering archery tower, but it was all decaying.

Cen Yaqiu followed behind Yao Qian, her face a little ugly.

The more you pay attention to this village, the more you can feel the coldness and silence in it, without the slightest sound, but giving people a feeling that a rainstorm is coming.

Her face was slightly gloomy and she said.

"Brother Yao, have you found anything?"

Hearing his inquiry, An Zijia and Ji Shifei's eyes also looked at him.

Yao Qian shook his head, the village in front of him did look like it was very calm, but the disappearance of so many dried corpses yesterday made people have to be suspicious.

Suddenly, the wings of his nose moved slightly, and a faint smell of blood came.

"Keep up with me!"

After saying a word, his body jumped and he had already jumped out.

The third girl's face changed slightly, and she also followed.

However, a hundred meters away, Yao Qian stopped, there was a wolf corpse on the ground, and now he could only see the broken wolf skin, inside the wolf skin, the flesh and blood were torn apart, and even the blood was not deep.

"This is an iron-backed wolf, how did he die here, and it seems that something has eaten up his flesh?"

Cen Yaqiu saw the wolf corpse on the ground and asked suspiciously.

Yao Qian also squatted down and looked at it, and soon his face became strange.

This iron-backed wolf didn't seem to have died at the hands of other beasts.

But...... Person!

The thought flashed through his mind, but behind him was a fierce wind rushing towards him.

Vaguely, only a black shadow could be seen, and in an instant, the black shadow had already come behind them and was rushing towards Ji Shifei's neck!

"Be careful!"

Yao Qian's face moved, and he reminded him, and at the same time, the 'Sun Burning Knife' on his waist was pulled out with a bang.

A chill appeared!

Ji Shifei only felt a flash of light in front of her, and goosebumps all over her body came out, and she let out an exclamation of 'ah' from her mouth.

Boom!

The sword light collided with the black shadow fiercely, and with a loud bang, the black shadow was directly shocked out, but the speed was extremely fast, and with a whoosh, it disappeared into the wild grass and shrubs and disappeared.

Yao Qian knocked it away with a knife, and his body also jumped out, and he came to the place where the black shadow fell to the ground.

His face changed slightly.

On the ground, there was not even a trace of blood!

"What kind of monster was that?"

Cen Yaqiu's face was gloomy like water, just fortunately Yao Qian's timely move, otherwise they would have died on their side.

Ji Shifei's face turned pale with fright, and her whole body trembled slightly, before she woke up from the fright, her face was full of fear, she almost died just now!

Yao Qian glanced towards the place where the black shadow disappeared, frowning, the speed of the black shadow was indeed extremely fast, even he only saw a monster that looked like a human form, but what it was, he didn't see it clearly.

Standing up from where the monster had fallen to the ground, he returned to Cen Yaqiu and the three of them again, and saw at a glance that on Ji Shifei's back, a black thing like a palm print was printed on his neck.

"What is this?"

Yao Qian's eyebrows flashed and he said.

"Ji Shifei, stop for a moment. ”

After that, he came behind Ji Shifei, reached out and touched Ji Shifei's neck, the black palm print had a slight stickiness on it, and he pinched it with his fingers, emitting a strange stench.

Ji Shifei felt the warm touch on the back of his neck, and he was a little shy, but at this time, with a hiss, the clothes on his back were cut in the middle, tearing a long gap, and he could vaguely see the belt of the obscene clothes inside, as well as the white back like milk.

"Ah......h

Ji Shifei let out an exclamation, his body scurried, and he had already rushed forward a few meters away, and his face was already red.

"You...... You...... What for?"

The words were a little slurred, and even Cen Yaqiu and An Zijia looked at Yao Qian with strange eyes, and their dissatisfied eyes flashed.

Yao Qian waved his hand a little speechlessly, but his eyebrows were wrinkled together, and he said.

"I didn't tear your clothes just now, and what do you think this is?"

As he spoke, he stretched out the black oil that had just been glued to his hand, and when Cen Yaqiu and An Zijia saw this thing, their faces sank slightly, and they wondered.

"Corpse oil?"

"That's right, it's corpse oil, but the strange thing is that it was obviously a living creature just now, how could it be that there was corpse oil on his hands, and there were so many?"

Corpse oil is the oil formed after the body decays for a long time, and the toxicity is very strong, and the general living creatures are congenitally repulsed by the corpse oil, but the strange thing just now, but the palm of his hand is all corpse oil, so he can't doubt it.

Also, the tearing of Ji Shifei's back clothes just now was indeed not done by him, it should be the aftermath of the black shadow just now, torn by the strong wind that slammed out.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at the place where the black shadow disappeared again, and his face gradually became grim.

When Ji Shifei heard the corpse oil, he was startled, and hurriedly took out a bottle of detoxification pill from his arms, ate one and put it into his abdomen, and his face gradually looked better.

Everyone rested in place for a while, and Ji Shifei gradually calmed down.

It was indeed a brush with death just now, and I was almost scratched by the black shadow in the head.

"Lord Yao, thank you for coming to the rescue, the little woman is grateful!"

Ji Shifei sang to Yao Qian, and saluted and thanked him.

Yao Qian waved his hand, but he didn't care, he was still thinking about what kind of monster attacked them just now?

The black shadow that flashed away just now, he probably saw a humanoid shape, almost like the body of an eight or nine-year-old child, and he couldn't see what it looked like.

After a while, he suppressed the thought in his heart before he spoke.

"Let's go, let's go!"

At this time, Ji Shifei had already changed into a new set of clothes, the back of the clothes just now was torn, and even the small clothes inside were cut, so he couldn't wear them at all.

The four of them set off again, only this time, everyone was more cautious than before.

Yao Qian took the lead, walking at the front of the team, the barren grass gradually deepened, fortunately it had already withered and yellowed, and when he stepped on it, he fell down together, if these barren grass and shrubs had not yet decayed, it would be another problem for them.

Next, they never encountered the black shadow monster again, and the four of them were in danger along the way, and at the entrance of the village behind the village, they met Wang Tianyi and the four of them again.

"How's it going?"

Wang Tianyi was the first to ask.

Yao Qian glanced at the four of them, and didn't seem to have gained anything.

He told him about the sneak attack of the black shadow that appeared just now, as well as the matter of corpse oil.

Wang Tianyi and Xu Pengzheng listened to him, their faces were groaning, and after a while, they both shook their heads and said.

"This kind of monster or beast is the first time we have encountered it, but if there is corpse oil on them, it may be the reason for their decomposing corpses. ”

What these two people said did make some sense, and Yao Qian also nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Since there is no danger along the way, we haven't found anything here, the wind and waves are very calm, it seems that if you want to dig things out, you still need to go into the village to explore. ”

Xu Peng said positively.

Hearing that they were going to enter the village, the faces of the girls were a little ugly, but they also knew that if they didn't investigate the matter clearly, it would be even more impossible.

Yao Qian also looked towards the village from the direction of the village entrance.

Suddenly, his face froze.

He saw that after entering a crooked-necked tree in the village, a strange woman was looking at him.

Goosebumps popped up all over his body.

With his eyesight, he can naturally see through.

The woman was pale and blind, and stood behind the crooked-neck tree, as if her whole body was floating, or there was an invisible rope that was strangling her neck.

However, her expression did not change in the slightest, and she just looked at him fixedly.

"Brother Yao, what are you looking at?"

Cen Yaqiu was standing next to him, reaching out and patting him on the back and asking.

Yao Qian's eyes turned, looked at Cen Yaqiu, and said.

"Look at the crooked neck tree, it looks like someone?"

Cen Yaqiu was stunned by Yao Qian's words, and looked at the crooked-necked tree that entered the village at the entrance of the village, where there were people underneath, it was empty.

"Brother Yao, you can't be mistaken, right?

Yao Qian was stunned by her question, his eyes rolled, and he looked over again, feeling cold.

The strange woman who was still hanging or floating under the crooked neck tree just now disappeared.

His pupils shrank, but he couldn't speak.

Cen Yaqiu looked at Yao Qian's appearance as if he was faking, and looked at the crooked neck under the tree again, but it was still empty.

A gust of wind blew, and the two of them only felt a chill behind them.
