"Brother Chen, come in quickly! Lao Dao and I are waiting for you!"
Ant was urging me on WeChat.
Old Dao has regained his senses, but seeing the news about Ants has reignited his fear.
"Chen, Brother Chen, what's going on? And this thing on the ant's arm, isn't it exactly the same as yours?"
Old Dao is really trembling now. Well, from his perspective, I'm actually in quite a danger.
"I don't know, but this place is eerie in every way, so just be careful."
I drew my Thunderstrike Sword, ready to deal with what was about to happen.
"Can I trust you, Lao Dao?" I tilted my head and asked Lao Dao.
"Yes, I'm one of Brother Luo's men. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Brother Luo!" Old Dao's answer was unexpected.
I walked in front, and Lao Dao followed behind.
Upon entering the courtyard, I discovered that it was actually a small courtyard house.
The entire courtyard was filled with a kind of water vapor.
This feeling is quite familiar, just like when I first arrived in Xujia Village.
"Brother Chen, I feel like I can't breathe, what should I do?"
I looked back at Lao Dao, who was choking himself like a drowning man.
His face was very pale, and then he coughed incessantly, coughing up a large mouthful of algae.
"Come closer to me, and don't speak. Something's strange here!"
I assumed a defensive stance and gave Old Knife some careful instructions.
If things go wrong, I'll take Lao Dao and leave immediately.
I took out a talisman and stuck it on Lao Dao's Dazhui point.
Old Dao felt a little better after that.
"Brother Chen, we're finally saved! What kind of place is this? I felt like I was about to drown. Huh? How come you're alright, Brother Chen?"
Old Dao plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. The suffocating feeling he had just experienced left a deep impression on him.
At the same time, Lao Dao looked at me curiously. He was puzzled as to why I was unharmed.
Old Dao reminded me that I had also realized that I hadn't felt any discomfort in my body since just now.
In fact, the tattoo area is now more comfortable.
Yes, tattoos!
I quickly rolled up my sleeves, and the tattoo I had just gotten looked even more vibrant.
Rather than calling it a tattoo, it's more accurate to describe it as a completely living thing!
It was as if he had his own life, residing in my body.
Could it be that nothing happened just now because of this thing?
I made a rough judgment.
Those who enter this small courtyard will be affected, but I had no reaction at all, most likely because of this tattoo.
Old Dao's mouth gaped open, shocked by what was on my arm.
"Brother Chen, it's only been a short time, and it's already turned into this. Why don't you listen to me and chop it up sooner rather than later?" Old Knife's expression was serious; he was really thinking of me.
"Or, I can use a knife to pry this thing off for you. I have a feeling this thing will take over Brother Chen's body."
That's how it's always written in novels, right? First, they take over a part of a body, and then they possess it!
Old Dao became more and more excited as he spoke, and before he knew it, he believed it himself.
"It shouldn't be. I'm not affected by this place, maybe it's because of this tattoo."
My intuition tells me that it doesn't mean any harm right now, and it's not spreading any further.
I shook my head.
Although I don't know exactly what this thing is, I can clearly sense that it has no ill intentions towards me.
It felt as if it was meant to be a part of my body.
Currently, I don't completely trust anyone around me, including Lao Dao.
"Okay, that's good, that's good. But Brother Chen, you should still be careful. Once we find Xu Feng, we should figure out how to get rid of this thing. It's really creepy!"
Old Dao turned his head away because the eagle owl's eyes had been fixed on him the whole time he was speaking.
I rolled down my sleeve to cover the eagle owl.
Since this courtyard is similar to Fox Village, my tattoo should have a certain restraining effect on the courtyard.
I took out my phone and continued to contact Ant, who guided us to the room in the east courtyard.
From the outside, the courtyard looks quite small, but once you step inside, you realize that there's more to it than meets the eye.
Old Dao and I have been walking for a long time, but we still haven't found our location.
There were quite a few rooms in the courtyard, but they were all tightly closed, as if no one had lived there for many years.
Old Dao tried to open a room, but unfortunately, it wouldn't budge.
The deeper we went, the more eerie it became; it was already dark.
Old Dao surprisingly walked ahead, saying he was going to scout the way for me—this was unlike him.
As they explored further, the bluestone walls on both sides turned a deep red, as if they had been stained with blood.
There was also a well in the yard, with a diameter larger than usual; a fat person could easily fit inside.
I moved my arm, or rather, the tattoo moved. I slightly rolled up my sleeve, and sure enough, the eagle owl's eyes had turned emerald green, greener than stocks.
Red and green—these are the two different colors emitted by the eagle owl's eyes. Could it be that the owl god is reminding us of something?
"Quick, let's go! There's something strange about this well!"
I pulled Lao Dao away from here quickly. Lao Dao seemed to be mesmerized, like a zombie, slowly walking towards the well.
