Chapter Seventy-Five: Unexpected

Of course, nothing was found at the bottom of the lake, but thousands of eight-legged toads lived, and these eight-legged toads basically lay quietly on the bottom of the lake, motionless.

Of course, Xiaopeng will not be idle and do nothing, to eradicate the eight-legged toad in this lake, since this place has long been called a forbidden land, let it always be a forbidden place. Anyway, the monks and mortals will not come to this lake to die.

"Since it is no longer possible to store a ZĂ i teleportation array in the Huangquan Forbidden Land, then next, there are three other forbidden places, where do we go first?"

"Judging from the map, the location of these four forbidden places just forms a quadrilateral, this Yellow Spring Forbidden Land is in the east, the Enchanting Forest in the south, the Death Canyon in the west, and the Yinling Forbidden Land in the north.

Then let's turn a big circle, look for the forbidden places one by one in the order of southeast, northwest, and northwest, and explore the four forbidden places one by one, and I don't believe that we can't find the teleportation array. "Xiaopeng has no other good way but to use this simplest but most practical elimination method.

Enchanting Forest, this has become the second forbidden place that Xiaopeng and Ruyue will explore in the future, because the first forbidden place Huangquan has fallen into the moon, Xiaopeng has figured out the reason for becoming a forbidden place, so Xiaopeng and Wanruyue are full of confidence in going to the Enchanting Forest below.

But since it is known as one of the four forbidden places, it will still pose a great danger to their lives.

So Zhu Xiaopeng decided to be cautious and cautious, first figure out why people are lost, as long as they find the reason, they can find a solution.

The two of them still flew at high speed along the way. The mountains and rivers under their feet are constantly left behind by them, and they are basically in no mood to care.

However, the distance between the Enchanting Forest and the falling moon in Huangquan is very far, even if Xiaopeng has been flying at high speed. It's going to take about a month.

After they flew for two days, Xiaopeng's spiritual sense felt consumed a lot, and his head began to be cloudy again. So when he saw a town in front of him, he decided to take a break here and let his spiritual consciousness return to normal before continuing to the Enchanting Forest.

"Ruyue, you see there's a town over there, and it's still far from the Enchanting Forest. We might as well just rest in that town for two days, and when we're in the best condition, we'll continue our flight to the Enchanting Forest. ”

"Okay. I also felt very bored when I kept flying like this, so I just had a day off there. "Like the moon, I used to like to go around and play.

The two of them were still far away from the town when they had already dropped their flying swords. Then walk towards the town. If Edgeworth flies. It's hard for both of them not to be the focus.

This town is not marked in detail on the map, and it is much smaller than the previous town of Duckbill Lake.

The town is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the town is right in the middle of it. The buildings in the town are generally wooden and look rudimentary.

There is only one winding street in the town, and the shops on both sides of the street look very dilapidated, most of them are not open, and the ones who open are all selling daily necessities and herbs. There are also coarse cloths, etc. There were no other shops, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets. The very few pedestrians are also older. They all looked at them with curiosity.

This makes Xiaopeng and Ruyue not quite understand, why are there no young people in this town?

This town feels very depressed to Xiaopeng and Ruyue, and such a depressed town also makes the two of them feel a little depressed.

Originally, the two of them wanted to take a good stroll on this street and buy something rare, just as a play, but obviously this wish was in vain.

Xiaopeng and Ruyue walked from the north end of the street to the end of the south end of the street, although they found two inns, but they had been closed for a long time and were no longer in business. This makes Xiaopeng feel strange, there is no inn in a town, which makes Xiaopeng feel very incredible.

"Ruyue, why isn't there even an open inn in this town?" Xiao Peng said the question in his heart.

"Yes, I've been to many places before, and I've never seen a town without an inn. "Wan Ruyue also felt very abnormal.

They originally wanted to find an inn to rest, but they didn't expect that there was no open inn in this town, which made them feel embarrassed!

"Let's go to the grocery store and ask, maybe they know where there's an inn. Xiaopeng thought for a moment.

The owner of the grocery store was an elderly man, with a wrinkled face, and he seemed to be unsteady when he walked.

"Uncle, I want to ask you, where is the inn in this town?"

"Inn?young man, you must have come from far away. The old gentleman replied.

"Yes, we're from out of town, and we want to rest in town for the night and leave tomorrow, so we want to find an inn. Xiaopeng said.

"A few months ago, there were no inns in the town. Alas, when I was younger, the town was very lively. Now there are very few people in the town, all of them are some old people. In a few years, when we old guys die, it is estimated that there will be no more zĂ i in this town. The old gentleman recalled.

"What about the young people in this town, where have they gone?" Xiaopeng couldn't help but wonder.

"Alas, don't you know, more than half of the young people in this town have disappeared for no reason, and a small half have left this town and moved to Qingyun City. The old gentleman said.

"Missing? when was that?" Xiao Peng felt a little suspicious, this was obviously abnormal.

"It just happened a few months ago, my grandson and son and daughter-in-law disappeared a few months ago. "The old man looked a little sad.

"Ah...... Where are your grandsons, sons, and daughters-in-law missing?" asked Wan Ruyue.

"Do you see that mountain over there?" said the old man, pointing in one direction.

Because this is the end of the street, there are no houses blocking the view, so they can see it clearly with the naked eye. It's a hill about a kilometer long, but it's still quite large. In front of the meat eyes, the mountains are lush with trees and the environment is good.

"Did they disappear on that mountain?" Xiaopeng couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there was a lumber yard in the mountains, and my grandson worked there. But a few months ago, my grandson and several of his companions suddenly disappeared together while logging in the mountains.

After learning of their disappearance, the town organized young adults to search for them on the mountain, and even the young men they were looking for disappeared as well.

After that, no one in the town dared to look for it, but since then, almost every day in the town, several young and middle-aged people have disappeared for no reason, and no one is alive or dead.

So a few months ago, all the young and middle-aged people in the town had moved away, and only we were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and when we died, there would be no more people in the town. Young man, I advise you two to get out of here quickly, I'm afraid that after tonight, you too may disappear. ”

Xiaopeng said in his heart, "This is too bloody, I just saw a town and wanted to settle down and take a good rest, but I encountered such a strange thing."

You don't have to think about it, it must be something evil in the mountains, or some kind of demon or something. I happened to encounter this kind of thing, could it be that this is an opportunity arranged by God for me to do chivalrous righteousness. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Ruyue couldn't sit still, she said to Xiaopeng, "Xiaopeng, let's go to that mountain now to take a look, and see what is doing evil there, if we find that it is still on that mountain, we will get rid of it, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

Xiaopeng said: "There is something evil on the mountain, that's for sure, but I don't know if we can deal with it." ”

As soon as the old man heard that the two were not only not afraid, but also wanted to go to the mountain to find out the cause and eliminate harm for the people, he felt that Xiaopeng and the others were too conceited.

"The purpose of what I said is to warn you that it is very dangerous to stay in this town, and that you should leave this town immediately so that you can be safe.

I don't want you to go to that mountain and die. There were hundreds of young men in the town that time, and hundreds of them disappeared at the same time. Think about it, if you two go there, will you come back alive?

I think it's better for you to listen to me, save your life in vain, it's not worth it. ”

Wan Ruyue persuaded the old gentleman, "Old man, don't worry, we are still so young, of course we don't want to die." But I can tell you that we are not ordinary people, we are monks. I believe that with our ability, we should have no problem going to that mountain and looking at it. ”

"Yes, old man, we are sure of it, you can rest assured. Seeing Ruyue say that, Xiaopeng also persuaded the old gentleman.

"It's great that you're monks, and my old man wishes you a safe return. "When the old people knew who they were, they also had a lot of confidence in them.

"If your family is still alive, we will definitely bring them back. "It's like the moon road.

"Alas, it has been a few months since it was gone, and perhaps it has long ceased to exist. "The old gentleman had lost hope a few months ago.

"Xiaopeng, let's go investigate now. "It's like a moon, but it's quite anxious.

"I said, Miss, can you let me rest for a day and restore my spiritual sense, we don't know anything about the situation on that mountain now, and if we venture to investigate, it is very likely that our lives will be in danger. Besides, they've been missing for months, so they don't care about waiting another day, even if they're in a hurry. Xiaopeng said. (To be continued......)
