Chapter 262 Peach Blossom Village

Ye Xingzhou felt numb.

I looked around the cave but couldn't see any exit.

Just a stagnant pool of water and a fully enclosed cave.

The bats in the cave were also roasted by the blasting talisman.

Ye Xingzhou hated himself for having to use the blasting talisman quickly just now, but now he didn't even have a living creature to guide him.

So melancholy.

Ye Xingzhou supported his head and sat by the pond.

The water in the pond was unusually calm, without the slightest ripple.

The pool is deep.

He threw a stone into the water.

After a ripple appeared on the water surface, it soon returned to calm.

There was no movement for a long time.

Ye Xingzhou suddenly felt something was wrong.

The stone was mixed with spiritual power, so there should be a sound when it falls to the ground.

For such a long time, there was no sound of stones falling.

However, there was no sign of the water in the pond flowing.

Signs of flow.

Ye Xingzhou picked up the night pearl and carefully observed the shape of the deep pool.

Round mouth with extremely smooth surface.

Ye Xingzhou hurriedly reached into the pool.

If you feel it carefully, you can feel the water flowing and moving deeper into the pool.

Isn’t this laminar flow?

The water is not standing still, but flowing with precision.

Wow, it turns out the bottom of the pond is connected. Bats have to learn to swim before they can get out.

Sure enough, only the strong can adapt to the environment.

Ye Xingzhou perked up.

He had been thinking about something before, and when he scooped up water from the pond to wash his face, he didn't notice that the water was actually flowing.

However, this pool of water is also strange.

There is no water column connecting them, but water can flow directly from the surface of the pool and connect to the bottom of the pool.

It was as if the stream of water was cut in half by spiritual power.

Ye Xingzhou built the barrier and jumped lightly into the pool.

When his whole body entered the water, the current instantly swept Ye Xingzhou into the deep water.

First there was darkness.

After the darkness lasted for about ten seconds, a faint light appeared.

Until the light becomes more and more obvious.

Ye Xingzhou was getting closer and closer.

Columns of water rushed out along the cliff face.

The turbulent river instantly swept him into a thousand-foot waterfall.

Who is Ye Xingzhou?

A true cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building!

There is no way it could be swept away by the river.

He broke the barrier and his spiritual power created a ladder suspended in the air.

The water flows swiftly.

Ye Xingzhou smoothed it out and went ashore gracefully.

Small hole, take it, take it.

Ye Xingzhou withdrew his gaze and began to look at the current environment.

The road winds around the mountain and ten miles ahead, peach blossoms are in full bloom and there is a village in the middle.

Ye Xingzhou decided to go back to Yantian Sect first.

The disappearance of the aura was too bizarre, so it would be a good idea to go back to the sect to look for him.

After making up his mind, Ye Xingzhou flicked his fingertips and a talisman appeared, which ignited without fire.

The talisman finished burning, but there was no sign of teleportation.

Bizarre again.

"What's going on?"

Ye Xingzhou frowned slightly.

He took out another talisman.

The aura of Yantian Sect disappeared again.

However, the talisman in the storage bag still has the aura of Yantian Sect.

It will disappear as soon as you take it out.

What’s going on? The air is still poisonous.

It's really strange.

Ye Xingzhou scratched his head, confused.

If the aura of the talisman disappears when it is taken out, what if he does the opposite?

Ye Xingzhou did it right away and put the jade slip into the storage bag.

A magical scene appeared, and in the storage bag, the aura on the jade slip was restored.

Ye Xingzhou's happiness only lasted a second before his face fell again.

What's the use of recovery?

The storage bag can only be used for storage and cannot be used for talismans or the like.

Could it be that Zuo Chunhui set up some kind of barrier on this storage bag?

Ye Xingzhou didn't believe it and started trying again.

No matter what he tried, the object was still there, but the aura would disappear.

It's not a good idea to stay this rigid. I don't know where I am right now.

Ye Xingzhou walked towards the village behind the peach forest.

First find a way out and determine the location.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Lush branches and leaves.

The wind blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers and a hint of fishy smell.

Ye Xingzhou paused slightly.

He smelled a hint of blood.

The direction from which the smell of blood came was the village behind the peach forest.

Ye Xingzhou opened his spiritual sense, carefully observed his surroundings, and walked along the stream.

The stream is dyed red.

The dead branches blocked a round ball with long black whiskers.

Ye Xingzhou stepped forward and saw the ball clearly.

It was a severed head.

My hair got stuck on a dead branch, and I kept wandering by the stream.

The head was white and swollen, and it looked like it had been soaked for a long time.

Beyond the peach blossom forest, the smell of blood became stronger.

The stone tablet standing in front of the village has the three words "Taohua Village" written on it.

The stone tablet was splattered with blood, and Ye Xingzhou saw corpses scattered all over the village.

Lying all over the place, the death looked miserable.

Wherever the divine sense swept, there was no trace of living people.

This village had just experienced a brutal massacre.

Ye Xingzhou walked past the corpse and approached the nearest house.

The house was in a mess, as if it had been looted.

Ye Xingzhou saw the bedding on the bed and his gaze paused for a moment.

He went to explore other houses.

This Taohua Village is not as simple as it appears.

Although the house had been ransacked, the remaining items still showed some value.

The silk quilt, the broken vase on the ground, and the fine clothes on the corpse...

These corpses all showed signs of cultivation.

Ye Xingzhou turned over a corpse and took a look.

He cut his throat with a brutal knife, and died quickly.

Looking down, the corpse's hands were clenched into fists.

Even after death, he still holds it tightly.

Ye Xingzhou opened his fingers and a scale was revealed.

There is spiritual energy on the dark black scales, as well as a fishy and murderous aura.

In the sunlight, it shines with a layer of light gold.

Ye Xingzhou closed the corpse's eyes and put the scales into his sleeve.

The scales are not simple, and the aura is very similar to that of immortality.

Now it seems that bandits have been ruled out.

With the monks around, ordinary bandits have no chance of taking action.

Judging from the knife and sword wounds on the bodies, it was also monks who destroyed and looted the village.

The owner of the scales, what grudge did he have that led to the massacre of the village?

Is a creature that can grow scales a monster?

But there was no sign of any monster nearby.

Ye Xingzhou thought about it and decided to take a walk around the village first.

The village has only eight households. If no tragedy had happened, it would indeed be a good place to live in seclusion as it is surrounded by mountains and water and has abundant resources.

Unfortunately, now even the egg yolk in Taohua Village has been shaken apart. How deep is the hatred?

Ye Xingzhou slowed down when he passed by a thatched cottage.

His spiritual sense detected a subtle breath.

The thatched cottage in front of me looks more like a thatched hut.

Could it be hidden in the toilet?

Ye Xingzhou walked in with a skeptical attitude.

The imagined scene of swimming in feces did not appear.

Inside were piles of rotten vegetable leaves, stinky sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

But the smell is not good anyway.

It looks like a toilet and has a foul smell inside, so it is easy to overlook.

Ye Xingzhou glanced around and keenly discovered a reed in the pile of rotten leaves.

Outside the thatched hut, rotten vegetable leaves hide, and reeds provide breathing space.

It's a bit dirty, but in the face of death, you're lucky to be able to survive.

Ye Xingzhou picked up a stick and pulled apart the leaves.

Something was trembling under the pile of vegetables.

As the leaves fell, the stench of fermentation spread.

The stench is so strong that it almost makes people nauseous.

Ye Xingzhou remained calm and took off his last disguise.

Until, a dirty little face was exposed without any cover.
