"Dean, should we gather manpower and force our way into that area?"
One teacher couldn't help but say.
"No need, the road leads north..."
"They've already gone to the ruins on the outskirts of the city."
The dean slowly shook his head and spoke.
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
The students of Lingwu Academy might not know what the name "Lu Xiangbei" means.
But these teachers are all very clear about it.
...
Ruins on the outskirts of the city.
"Xu An... Xu An!"
Master Li, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted.
The voice was filled with fear.
Xu An quickly quickened his pace and helped Cao Meng to Master Li's side.
Following Master Li's gaze, another figure was kneeling in the middle of the road ahead.
"Hide...hide behind me!"
Although Cao Meng's legs were trembling, he still gripped his dagger tightly and stood at the forefront.
He knew very well that among the three, only he possessed pure combat talent.
The few vengeful spirits that Master Li had originally bewitched were also abducted by the unknown thing in the mist.
As they approached the figure, Cao Meng would have collapsed to the ground had Xu An not anticipated his arrival and caught him from behind.
She was a girl in their class.
She knelt in the middle of the road in a devout posture, and several steel bars pierced through her body.
It's like those specimens that have been pricked with needles on a board, thus being made into a specific shape.
The ground was stained red with blood.
"May the gods protect us... May the gods protect us..."
"May my son be safe and return..."
"Hehe...I'll be back soon..."
A hoarse, aged, and deep, eerie voice rang out from within the thick fog.
The moment that sound rang out, Xu An felt goosebumps all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
"run!"
Without even having time to think, Xu An shouted.
He grabbed Cao Meng and charged forward.
"Xu An, over here!"
Master Li shouted loudly.
Amidst them, a commotion could be faintly heard.
The voice sounded like it belonged to the students who came in with them.
At this time, the more people there are, the safer it is.
After running for a short while, Master Li, who was in front, suddenly stopped.
Xu An and Cao Meng both bumped into Master Li.
"Wha...what's wrong?"
Cao Meng stammered.
Xu An looked up and saw...
Amidst these ruins, a temple suddenly appeared.
The temple was not large and was quite dilapidated.
However, this kind of antique-style building, appearing abruptly in a pile of reinforced concrete ruins, seems somewhat out of place no matter how you look at it.
And what's even stranger is...
They saw other people!
Chen Yan and the others knelt and worshipped around the temple.
The fog around the temple was not as thick, and visibility was much better.
Xu An could clearly see that Chen Yan and the others were not dead yet.
But it seemed as if her body was being controlled by something, and she looked at them with extremely anxious eyes.
It seems they want to say something to them.
"Three more have arrived..."
Suddenly, that old and hoarse voice rang out.
Inside the temple, an old man with a hunched back slowly walked out.
As you get closer, you can see the old man's neck, which is covered in a rotten, maggot-infested wound.
The enormous wound nearly tore his neck off.
This caused his head to droop on one shoulder, making him look inexplicably strange.
Countless white, fat maggots wriggled on the wound.
"vomit!……"
Cao Meng immediately lay down and vomited again.
"Charm...charm him..."
"Master, quickly bewitch him!"
After vomiting several times, Cao Meng roared.
Without wasting any words, Master Li quickly took a step forward.
The talent was activated, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge.
Master Li's expression instantly turned serious.
"You wretched creature, squat down!"
Master Li roared angrily.
Then……
Bang! ...
The old man simply raised his hand, and an arm quickly condensed from the mist behind him, sending Master Li flying.
Master Li rolled several times on the ground before stopping, spitting out blood continuously.
"Today's offerings are enough...too many...not good."
"Save money, save more money for...for our son...to get married..."
The old man muttered to himself.
Ignoring the three of them, he turned and walked towards Chen Yan and the others.
He bent down and stripped all the valuables off Chen Yan and the others, then silently piled them up beside the temple.
Xu An couldn't help but frown.
He saw that a large pile of things had already been stacked up in that corner.
Many banknotes have been damaged by wind and rain and are no longer in good condition.
Clearly, quite a few people have died here.
When Chen Yan and the other students saw Xu An and his group, they initially felt a glimmer of hope.
But at this moment, seeing only Xu An standing there dumbfounded, he was filled with despair.
How can someone with evolutionary talent save them?
Are you suggesting I form a contract with this old guy in front of me and then evolve him?
"Run...Xu An...run fast!"
Master Li finally realized what was happening and, forcing himself to stay upright, let out a loud shout.
The thing in front of him was completely unaffected by his charm.
Whoosh! ...
Almost at the same moment he spoke, a grayish-white tentacle suddenly shot out from the mist and plunged towards his chest.
