As soon as Yue Ya's vision was restored, he saw a furry mass falling from the sky and hitting him right in the face.
Boom! The cat bomb landed head-on, and Yue Ya was almost knocked unconscious.
He picked up Feifei with one hand, sat up and looked around. This was an ordinary village. There were dense bamboo forests on both sides of the road. There was a crossroads ahead. In the distance, a few roofs were vaguely visible on higher ground. The farther away was shrouded in fog, and only the vague outline of the mountain could be seen.
The sky was gloomy, with a few dark clouds floating in the air, and it was impossible to tell the time period.
Xiaofeng and Xiaoxiong were right next to him. They both fell pretty hard and were groaning.
Xiao Feng dusted himself off and stood up. He touched the empty back of his neck and said timidly, "Where is this?"
Yueya raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't answer him, and looked at the little bear.
Little Bear rubbed his back and looked around: "We were sucked in here after we opened the door of the jewelry store. This village... looks a bit like the oil painting hanging in front of the jewelry store. Are we in the painting? This must be the hometown of Little Butterfly."
While the little bear was talking, Yue Ya was observing her and didn't notice anything wrong.
The little bear noticed his gaze, tilted his head, and showed a puzzled expression.
Yue Ya turned her eyes, motioning her to look at Xiao Feng, then casually but slowly touched her neck and mouthed the word "headphones".
Little Bear saw that there were no headphones around Xiao Feng's neck! You know, the headphones hanging around his neck are Xiao Feng's real body. He never takes them off, not even when he's hurt!
The little bear took a deep breath and walked quietly behind Xiaofeng.
"Xiao Feng" didn't notice anything, walked towards Yue Ya, and whispered: "It's a bit gloomy here, where should we go now?"
"We are going to..." Yue Ya said slowly, "Catch you."
The little bear immediately pinched Xiaofeng's neck. Xiaofeng was frightened, his handsome face became distorted, his eyeballs squeezed out of his sockets and fell to the ground, and a pool of pus flowed from his empty eye sockets.
Seeing his companion's face turned into this, Yue Ya felt a little uncomfortable. He pointed to his neck and said, "When you were disguising yourself, you forgot to get a pair of headphones."
Even if he was sucked into the painting, Xiaofeng's first reaction would be to cover his precious headphones, not to mention that this "Xiaofeng" did not call him "brother".
Mottled bloodstains appeared on "Xiaofeng"'s face. He looked at Yueya with resentment in his one eye, and suddenly stretched out his hand to stab his eyes, with his long sharp nails wrapped in dangerous evil spirit.
The little bear grabbed Xiaofeng's hair and pulled it back violently. Yueya grabbed Xiaofeng's neck from the front. Feifei immediately jumped onto Xiaofeng's head and bit the top of his head.
With this bite, "Xiao Feng" turned into a palm-sized paper man, swaying slightly in the cold wind.
Feifei lost its support and fell to the ground. It chewed the paper and found it tasted bad, so it spat it out on the ground and slapped it with its paw, causing the paper to tear.
"Meow." It's too bad, not fun and not delicious.
"Such a small paper figurine can imitate so much like a human. It seems that the ghost behind it is not simple." Little Bear rubbed his wrist that was frozen by the cold wind. "If you hadn't discovered that it was wrong in time, we might have been attacked. I don't know where Xiaofeng was taken."
"He must still be in this painting," Yue Ya looked into the distance and said slowly, "The NPC who would pull people into the painting, I only thought of Black Crow, and I saw that the painting at the entrance of the jewelry store was painted by her."
"Black Crow, the artist in the exhibition on the second floor?" Little Bear had also been to the exhibition. She thought for a moment, "Can't her paintings predict the future? The portrait of the Hidden Village in the jewelry store has changed several times. Could it be the scene that is about to appear..."
Those scenes, with the woman holding a knife, the coffin and the white lantern, were not very friendly.
"It's possible," Yue Ya paused, "Do you remember the hint in the painting? It expresses the artist's attachment to his hometown, so Yinjian Village is also Black Crow's hometown. I now think that Black Crow is Little Butterfly's sister."
"The main quest and the side quest are beginning to overlap. That's interesting." Little Bear waved his hands: "Let's find Xiao Feng first."
Yueya said, "Okay, this is Little Butterfly's world. If we can't find any clues about Xiaofeng, we can just find Little Butterfly and ask her to hand over the person."
The two walked forward and came to a crossroads.
Little Bear: "Oh, three choices."
Yue Ya looked at the three intersections respectively. There were dense bamboo forests on both sides of the road, and the ends of the roads were all shrouded in thick fog. There were no clues, so they could only choose blindly.
Yue Ya felt that all three paths were bad, and he couldn't tell which one was worse, so he said, "Let's try them one by one."
Little Bear spread his hands and said, "That's the only way. How about taking the left one first?"
Yueya nodded, and the two walked to the left. The bamboo forest on the side of the road swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. The wind went deep into the forest, rolling up low whimpering sounds. Listening to these sounds, one always felt that something would crawl out from inside.
But no ghosts flashed on the road, no password boxes appeared, and no prompts. In this case, calmness is also a kind of weirdness.
The two of them walked forward with their heads down, their steps getting faster and faster, but this road seemed to have no end, and the scenery on the roadside did not change at all, except for bamboo, bamboo... and more bamboo.
Even if there are one or two graves, it is better than the unchanging bamboo.
The little bear couldn't stand walking any longer, so he stopped and looked back. The road behind him was filled with fog, and he could no longer see where he came from.
The little bear scratched his hair in annoyance. When he looked down, he found that the footprints on the way they came were gradually disappearing, as if a pair of hands were erasing the traces they left behind.
Little Bear turned and called to Yueya: "Our footprints have disappeared!"
Yue Ya stopped and looked, then frowned.
Feifei looked in the direction he came from, spinning around on the ground restlessly, howling like a wolf cub.
"Fei Fei is giving a warning." Yue Ya took out a camera and took a picture of the road he came from. There were no ghosts or anything unusual in the photo, but the footprints on the road continued to disappear, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Yue Ya suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Run!"
Feifei immediately jumped onto Yueya and grabbed his clothes.
The little bear didn't ask anything and ran after Yue Ya!
[What's going on? Why did you suddenly start running?]
[It seems like something is catching up!]
[Look, their footprints are disappearing faster! Run, Yuezai! !]
They were sweating from running, and the cold wind from the forest made their hair stand on end. No one dared to stop, and the silent approaching fear forced them to run forward desperately.
Not knowing if the footprints were still disappearing, Little Bear couldn't help but look back. The drawstring decoration on her clothes flew behind her and suddenly disappeared, as if it was bitten off by an invisible big mouth! !
What kind of strange power is this? !
The little bear's scalp tingled, and he dared not look any further. He gritted his teeth and sped up: "Brother, the thing chasing us wants to eat us!"
Yue Ya guessed that this was the case, and he said loudly: "There is a turn ahead, hold on a little longer!"
There was the first turn in the road ahead, and bright light shone in, like an exit.
The two ran to the bend and ran about two hundred meters, and the oppressive feeling behind them suddenly disappeared.
Yue Ya looked back and saw that the footprints they left were very clear and had not been erased.
The “thing” that was chasing them didn’t catch up.
Before Yueya could even breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw a familiar crossroads ahead! They were back to where they started!
"What the hell is going on!" Little Bear wiped the cold sweat from his face and felt even more annoyed.
Suddenly someone patted his shoulder. Yue Ya didn't look back, but grabbed the hand and threw it over his shoulder.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..." A man was thrown to the ground by him and rubbed his shoulder and wailed.
Little Bear squatted in front of the man and looked at him coldly: "Are you the one behind this?"
The man looked very ordinary. He had an unhappy expression and tried to stand up but was pinned to the ground by the little bear again.
“Answer my question!”
"How can you be so rude! I don't even know what you are talking about!" The man's voice was filled with anger: "I am a villager from Yinjian Village. I saw that you two were strangers, so I wanted to ask you what you were doing here, but I almost fell to my death..."
Little Bear narrowed his eyes and said, "You are a villager, you must know Little Butterfly. Lead the way, we are going to find her."
“You said...little...butterfly..." The villager’s eyes widened. These three words seemed to have triggered a strange switch in him. His limbs began to twitch, and Little Bear couldn’t hold them back.
A loud "cracking" sound came from the villager's head, and a dozen blue-white hands emerged from his chest. He exuded an astonishing murderous aura, and looked exactly like a centipede in human form!
Dense runes appeared on the villagers' bodies. Their patterns were the same as the runes Yue Ya had seen in the ballroom, revealing an evil aura.
The villagers went crazy, stretching their necks and opening their bloody mouths to bite the little bear.
The little bear quickly stepped back and whispered, "What's going on?"
The villagers crawled towards her in a weird posture, making a hoarse and terrifying sound in their throats: "Little...butterfly...little butterfly..."
The little bear avoided the villagers, his pupils trembling: "Did I ask him that sentence and made him go crazy?"
"Hurry up, something has woken up in the woods." Yue Ya grabbed the little bear's hand and ran forward.
The little bear listened quietly, and sure enough, there were rustling sounds in the woods. Based on their experience in clearing dungeons, the scale of the sounds meant that there were at least dozens of things crawling out!
A chill ran down their spines to the back of their heads. None of their props could handle this situation. They could only run away from the danger zone as quickly as possible, just like they did just now.
"Little...butterfly...little...butterfly...I want...the skin..."
There was a dense crawling sound coming from behind, and Yue Ya felt like hundreds of giant crabs were chasing them.
If it were possible, these would be enough to keep Feifei fed for half a year.
He was lost in thought when the hem of his clothes was suddenly caught by something!
Yue Ya turned his head and saw a mutant villager hooking his clothes with both hands and biting his waist.
Yueya raised the camera hanging around his neck, put it to the villager's face, and pressed the shutter! The villager was sucked into the camera, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Looking up, they saw dozens of bloody monsters crawling out of the woods and crawling towards them. Pairs of blood-red eyes were looking at them at the same time, emitting man-eating glow.
[Oh my god, my heart is about to stop!]
[Seriously! Since I started following the host’s live broadcast, this is the first time I’ve seen him being chased so fiercely. The main reason is that there are too many ghosts in this village. One ghost has so many hands that I’m almost having intensive phobia!]
[This village is crazy!]
