Chapter 306: Where Have All the People Gone?
Standing outside the Shijia tribe and looking silently for a while, Zhou Nan took a step forward and walked forward slowly.
But the more he walked, the higher his brow furrowed. Until recently, the tribe was still dead, and there was no reaction at all.
It was very faint, Zhou Nan was still in the air, and he smelled a terrible death breath.
"What's going on?" he whispered. Zhou Nan unfolded his divine thoughts, enveloped the village, and searched carefully. Although it was rude, he couldn't care about it that much.
Zhou Nan's divine thoughts were huge, and when fully unfolded, they could extend to more than forty miles away. Although it can't cover the entire village at one time, the scope of the search is also extremely impressive. It won't be long before there will be results.
Unfortunately, things are often dramatic. After a long time, Zhou Nan found nothing.
The people in this village seem to have completely disappeared. No matter how carefully he searched, he didn't find a single living person.
"Damn, what the hell happened, where did everyone go?" Sensing a hint of something wrong, Zhou Nan took a deep breath and said heavily. As soon as the words fell, as soon as he urged the method, he launched the 'Heavenly Eye Technique' and observed it carefully.
This time, the hard work paid off. Under the shroud of the 'Heavenly Eye Technique', with the strong strength of Zhou Nan. It didn't take much effort, and in some obscure corners, he finally found something unusual.
"There, I found it!" With a happy face, Zhou Nan withdrew the 'Heavenly Eye Technique' and jumped into the Shijia Tribe. After a few runs, he came to a low stone house and stopped there.
"Dead air. There is such a heavy dead air!" said in a low voice, and Zhou Nan pushed the door open. Slowly walked in. But before he had taken a few steps, an extremely disgusting scene. It appeared in front of his eyes.
I saw that behind the hut, a huge hall of more than 100 zhang directly appeared. It is square and elegantly decorated around. But unfortunately, in the hall at this moment, it is really unsightly.
As far as the eye could see, there were horrific filled with dead people! Layered on top of each other, all naked, their eyes turned out. The skin is blue and blistered, and in the thick atmosphere, there is still the most crazy after life on the face.
The expression is so grotesque, as if it has been brainwashed before death, and it makes people feel creepy for a while.
These people have been dead for a long time, and their bodies have become rotten and stinky. The degraded corpses, soaked in corpse fluid, were all glued together, overlapping. It forms a whole, very disgusting, and I can't tell who is who.
This hall is very special, and it can isolate the corpse qi to a great extent. Shielding the exploration of spiritual consciousness such as divine thoughts. If you hadn't used the 'Heavenly Eye Technique', you would have been able to see it, under normal circumstances. Zhou Nan really won't notice.
The corpse in the hall was very heavy, and it didn't stay for a while. Zhou Nan felt a heavy nausea.
Even if there was a mana shield covering the body, it wouldn't have much effect. I don't know what kind of perverted guy he is. These ingenious things are even darker and more unacceptable than the second floor of the Xuanhuo Sect Law Enforcement Prison!
Dead people are not terrible, even the city has been slaughtered, how could Zhou Nan be afraid of these things?
But the people in this room are really a little horrible and unbelievable.
The way he died naked, the madness that distorted his personality, was really not an ordinary weirdness.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything useful, Zhou Nan coughed twice, then turned around and retreated. Along the street, squinting, in the village, swaying. Soon after, he found the same places.
"Hmph, naked corpse, crazy expression, it's really fucking foolish!" Walking in a quiet, no living atmosphere, obviously abandoned for a long time in the village, after a long time, even with Zhou Nan's nerves, it was a little uncomfortable.
Such strange things have happened, and there are still so many in a row. From the floating corpses of the Blood River at the beginning, tentacle monsters, to the current silent village, stacked naked corpses. Together, one scene after another, connected together, seemingly unrelated, but invisibly, it still shrouded this trip with a thick layer of clouds.
Whether Zhou Nanjie accepts it or not, behind the matter, there is an invisible black hand that is manipulating all this.
Immediately after searching for a while, and after seeing that there was no big gain, Zhou Nan no longer cared about looking for the entrance of the so-called underground river, and as soon as he stomped on his flying spring boots, he hurriedly turned around and rushed back.
It's very strange here, and if you stay for a long time, who knows what will happen to the road?
In an instant, Zhou Nan, who was a little hairy in his heart, easily found a good excuse for himself!
Half an hour later, staying outside the canyon, waiting for the people who were a little flustered. When he saw Zhou Nan come out, he was long and loose. The anxious face instantly showed a rich smile.
Even they didn't find out, I don't know when Zhou Nan has become the backbone of the team. Very subconsciously, everyone determined his importance.
Giving everyone a reassuring look, Zhou Nan took a deep breath and slowly recounted his findings.
As the horrors were slowly revealed, the atmosphere in the field was completely solidified after a while.
Even at the end of the day, everyone opened their mouths wide and expressed their disbelief to the fullest.
"Zhou, Zhou Daoyou, is what you said true?Shijia tribe, is it really destroyed, there is no living person?" opened his mouth, suppressed the shock in his heart, and the white-haired old man said with a stammer.
"I don't know if there is destruction or not. It's just that the people of the entire tribe are gone. The rest of them, except for a room full of naked corpses, there is nothing else!" Shaking his head, Zhou Nan said with a wry smile on his face.
"Daoyou Zhou, do we still want to continue to find the entrance to the underground river?" The old man with the big nose hurriedly asked. Obviously, after listening to Zhou Nan's description, he was already a little stunned! Instinctively, he wanted to leave this place early.
"Let's go, there should be other tribes nearby, let's go and see." This stone armor tribe is too weird, it's better to avoid it. Time was short, but there was no need to hang yourself from this tree. After touching his nose, Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief for the big-nosed old man.
After deliberating again for a while, the group made a direction and continued on their way.
But for the next five days, all the tribes they passed through were in the same situation, and there were more than a dozen families.
They are all the same naked corpses, all desolation without people. Unconsciously, everyone's faces were full of uneasiness.
Even Zhou Nan, who seemed to be calm, felt a strong uneasiness in his heart when he arrived at this meeting, and he began to be uncalm.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? What the hell is going on with the people, where have the people gone!" Standing in front of a deserted village, the fat old man scratched his head impatiently, and scolded with no regard for his image.
"Be quiet, the juniors are still watching, what kind of body are you like this?" Before the fat old man could vent his pleasure, he was slapped on the head by the big-nosed old man and taught him a lesson unceremoniously.
Glancing at these two living treasures, Zhou Nan smiled bitterly and withdrew his gaze. Facing the white-haired old man, he asked in a slightly deep tone, "Clan Guard, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of something similar?"
The clan guard is the guardian of a tribe, and his status is very noble.
This kind of person is highly cultivated, has rich experience, and has a wide range of knowledge, which is extraordinary. In many cases, it is revered by the image of the tribe as the living book of the tribe!
If there is anyone else who can solve Zhou Nan's doubts at this time, it is definitely this person.
Although Zhou Nan's knowledge is not bad, it can be regarded as knowledgeable. But it's normal to occasionally go into the wasteland, be unfamiliar with the place, and don't know a lot of things. Sometimes, people have to rely on others. Even if he doesn't like the feeling a lot, he has to do it.
"Hey, Zhou Daoyou is really stumped for the old man. This kind of thing is so weird. If there is anything similar, it must be one thing. In addition, the old man can no longer think of other possibilities for his friends. With a wry smile, the white-haired old man's eyes froze, and he suddenly thought of something.
Hearing this, Zhou Nan was slightly surprised, so he nodded and became interested.
After getting Zhou Nan's affirmation, the white-haired old man fell into deep memories.
Suddenly, a legend that has been sealed for a long time and has been circulating in this land for tens of thousands of years has entered the ears of everyone.
The stories told by the old man are long, old, old. There are even many places where something is missing, and some of them are plausible and unreal. But gradually, Zhou Nan's brows still wrinkled unconsciously.
"So, these tribes are not destroyed by external causes, but internally?" After listening to the story, without the slightest delay, Zhou Nan was very timely, and raised his own questions.
"If the things in this story really happened, and these tribes were attacked by the clan spirits, then Zhou Daoyou's words would be true. But in general, such a look would not have happened at all. Brushing his beard, the white-haired old man nodded and said.
Although this old man is not too sure, Zhou Nan is already eighty percent sure of the truth about the destruction of these tribes.
It stands to reason that after figuring out what happened, Zhou Nan should be happy. But somehow, he went to feel a little uneasy.
This uneasiness came so suddenly, so strongly, and very easily, that it broke through Zhou Nan's mind.
The regurgitation of the clan spirit is a very ancient and rare phenomenon. It has not happened for many years, and it has long disappeared into the long river of history and become a legend. Many people, even for a lifetime, don't know that there is such a thing as Lu Dao.
And the story told by the white-haired old man is related to this.
The clan spirit is the outward manifestation of the soul and faith of a tribe. For example, the Golden Wolf Lord believed in by the Golden Wolf Tribe, to a certain extent, can be counted as a kind of clan spirit. Mysterious and powerful. (To be continued......)
