Chapter 407: Strange Ancient Town

After Jinwu, Hua Yang and Xing Lie quickly rushed into the flickering pale yellow barrier, earth energy emerged from underground and replenished the energy consumed by the barrier.

The barrier returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

The ancient town is still the same as it was in the news reports before the end of the world. In this ancient town, even the bluestone paved paths in Pucheng are so quaint.

The path in the middle is paved with bluestone slabs and ends deep in the town, where you can't see the end.

The path on the other side is paved from the crossroads, extending to both sides like spider legs, leading to a row of irregularly arranged but extremely ancient houses.

The Golden Crow looked at the four old peach trees at the entrance of the town and rushed over excitedly, flapping its wings and stirring up a gust of wind.

Hua Yang wanted to go over and take a look, but was stopped by Xing Lie. "Don't worry, those four peach trees are not evolving life forms, but they are in the formation and are believed to be activated. Jinwu is not in danger."

Hua Yang nodded, glanced in the direction of Jinwu, and then let Xing Lie hold her hand and walk towards the first row of ancient buildings on the crossroad.

The two of them seemed to be traveling in the end times. They walked along the gravel paths one after another, not missing any place.

The entire ancient town was as quiet as a ghost town, except for the scent of peach blossoms. They didn't even see a single person.

"Isn't this town big? How come there is no one in such a secluded place?"

Hua Yang, who had a strong mental strength, didn't even feel any life force other than the peach tree.

"There are people, all of them are in the house and haven't come out!"

"Ah?" She stopped in surprise. "Impossible! With my mental power, I can't miss even a living ant! I can definitely sense someone!"

Xing Lie pulled Hua Yang, and the black energy on his body began to surge, gathering around the two of them, slowly covering up their whereabouts.

"Why do we have to hide? Oh, you brought me here for a trip, didn't you? Why are you being so secretive?"

"Yangyang, do you believe me?"

Hua Yang looked at Xing Lie strangely. He looked so serious that she couldn't help but be dazed.

"I definitely believe it, but can you tell me what you are going to do first?"

Xing Lie smiled evilly, looking unusually charming in this ancient road filled with gusts of cold wind.

"you guess."

Hua Yang laughed at herself for compromising every time she looked at Xing Lie's face. How weird! Whether in her previous life or in her rebirth, she was clearly not a flower maniac! Why did she compromise when she saw this guy?

After six months of getting along, Mingming has been able to deal with Xing Lie calmly. When faced with his occasional flirting, he can also deal with it with a retort, which is quite fun.

It was still early in the morning when they set out, and it was still mid-morning now. The sun was already shining brightly in the east, illuminating the entire peach forest.

If you look down from a distance, the direct sunlight is partially blocked by a peach forest, and the light is then scattered into the ancient town.

It looks like a fairyland from the outside, but inside the ancient town there are layers of light and shadow.

The overlapping of light and shadow can easily give people the illusion of time and space interweaving.

This is also the reason why the two thought they had visited the entire town, but because of the overlapping of images and the feeling of time and space confusion, they kept wandering back and forth on a small island without knowing it.

Xing Lie looked up at the sky and the surrounding buildings. "What a trick that combines the geographical location of the house with the astronomical phenomena."

Hua Yang also realized something was wrong at this time.

When they came in, the path in the middle was paved with bluestone slabs, and it seemed that they had walked through all the ancient town buildings that they had visited for so long.

But the ground under their feet was always cobblestone.

"Are we blocked by a trick? That's why we are lost?" Hua Yang looked around vigilantly, exerting his mental power to the maximum, but found nothing. "There is no flaw."

At this moment, a burnt smell of peach wood branches came from the entrance where they had just come in.

Hua Yang's face changed, and she said to herself, "Oh no!" "It's over. That bastard Jin Wu is causing trouble for me again."

Xing Lie smiled, touched Hua Yang's head and said, "Your Golden Crow is sometimes smarter than you, his master."

"Doesn't it often say that it is the leader of the Golden Crow clan, the Golden Crow ancestor or something like that? If that's true, it must be thousands or even tens of thousands of years older than me!

If it's not smarter, what use is it to me?"

The Golden Crow's true sun fire is not an ordinary fire. If you are burned by it and do not retract it, you will definitely be burned to ashes.

It was very strange. The ground they were walking on just now was all cobblestone, but after the two smelled the smell of burnt wood, the ground suddenly turned into bluestone bricks.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared directly at the entrance of the ancient town where Jinwu was hiding.

Looking at the four old peach trees in front of me, whose branches were as thick as elephant legs, they were baked black as ink by the true fire of the Golden Crow sun.

Hua Yang also had a clue in her mind.

Jinwu noticed something was wrong with the two early on and warned them.

What the eyes see can deceive the eyes, but the sense of smell cannot. Especially the four peach trees standing at the entrance like pinholes.

The peach blossoms there were also larger than those in the nearby peach forest.

Hua Yang also discovered a phenomenon. Every peach tree in the woods outside was laden with attractive pink peaches as big as two fists.

But these four peach trees are clearly growing well, and their age and nutrients are much better than the trees in the peach forest outside, yet they don't produce a single peach.

It's really strange.

Fortunately, Jinwu obeyed her orders and did not really want to destroy the peach forest here, especially the four old peach trees.

If the Golden Crow wanted to destroy them, no matter what tricks these four trees had, the true fire of the sun would have burned everything and they would have been reduced to ashes by now.

How could it be like this, watching the dark peach blossoms wither, but in fact, they were not hurt at all. They were just frightened by the flames of the sun's true fire.

At this time, a large number of footsteps were heard in the streets of the ancient town, and they were getting closer and closer.

The two turned their heads to look. Xing Lie didn't react much, but Hua Yang didn't hide the shock on her face.

Led by an old man who must be over a hundred years old, with about a hundred people following behind him, the group walked towards the two people and the bird in a menacing manner.

Behind the old man was an old lady who was almost a hundred years old. She was wearing the coarse linen clothes commonly worn by farmers. She didn't feel cold even in the middle of winter and rushed over with a sad face.

He originally wanted to twist Hua Yang to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Xing Lie, who pinched Xing Lie's arm with both hands.

"What a sin! You really are committing a sin! How dare you burn our sacred tree that protects the town! You will be struck by lightning!"

Xing Lie stood in front of Hua Yang, motionless, with the old woman's wrinkled hands pinching his arms hard.

Hua Yang frowned as she looked at Xing Lie's red arm that had been pinched. He was over a hundred years old, yet he still had so much strength.

This is not the most abnormal thing.

Everyone in these ancient towns is skinny and looks like they will be blown away by the wind.

He has no superpowers, is over a hundred years old, and is skinny, but he is so strong that he can cause red marks on the body of Xing Lie, a high-level superpower user?

This is too abnormal!
