Having learned from the previous experience, their team was very cautious and stopped at the entrance of the village.
"Brother, why do I feel like there's something weird in there?" Dai Anyu spoke. She raised her hand and pressed the shaking wind chimes. A familiar breath of danger came, even stronger than the previous one.
"I feel the same way." Junior brother Xu Feng said.
"Otherwise, let's call the deacon nearby." Another junior sister Xiao Linyue said.
Liu Yu listened to their conversation and said, "We always ask the deacon to help us. Doesn't this make us look bad?"
“…”
His words made Dai Anyu and others silent for a while. They scratched their cheeks and felt that Liu Yu was right.
"Then let's go ahead bravely?" Xiao Linyue said as he rolled up his sleeves.
"I can't shout anymore." Yu Sang said, staring at the building in front of him.
"Ah?" The other people looked at him in confusion.
Yu Sang did not say anything else, but drew his sword: "There are already monks from the Emperor's Class who have arrived here before us, but after we arrived here, we did not sense any activity."
"They haven't arrived yet?" Xu Feng said.
"Bang——"
He felt a pain in his head, and he covered the top of his head and looked at the person who hit him on the head.
Dai Anyu took back her hand and said, "Use your brain to think about it. It's not possible as you said."
"Oh. I was just saying."
Yu Sang Zhang looked around but didn't find anything wrong. He remembered Lin Wannian's reminder: "Let's go to the tower."
"Okay." They hurriedly followed Yu Sang.
Yu Xi fell behind the team and seemed to feel something. His fingers moved, he clenched his fingers and caught up with Liu Yu and others.
As I walked into the village, a stale smell spread and hit my nose. What came into view were dilapidated houses with collapsed roofs. It had rained recently and the dirt roads were bumpy and filled with water.
"We've been watching this room for some time. Why are we only receiving the message now?" Xiao Linyue asked curiously.
But no one could answer her.
They stepped over the puddles. The closer they got to the tower, the bigger the puddles became, and they needed to jump over them.
"Has there been a large-scale fight here before? There are so many pits." Dai Anyu said, and stepped over. At this moment, the water in the puddle rippled, and a pair of pale hands stretched out and grabbed her hind feet and pulled her in.
"ah--"
As her scream stopped, Diane disappeared!
Yu Sang reacted and took a few steps back, but it was too late. The same hands appeared in the puddle behind them and grabbed their legs from behind and pulled them down, leaving them no time to react!
“Gulu——”
The figure disappeared directly into the puddle, leaving only a few footprints. After a while, the water in the puddle overflowed, and when the water sank, the footprints disappeared as well, as if the person who had just come was all an illusion.
"ah--"
Diane's scream continued to grow louder.
Lin Wannian had been paying attention to the movements outside. After being tormented by that force, he knew clearly who was behind it.
[Congratulations to the host for activating another side quest: Rescue the monks trapped in the illusion, and reward two bags of fertilizer.]
Yu Sang and others appeared in a new scene.
"Stop wailing." Liu Yu shouted to Dai Anyu who was screaming.
"oh."
They looked at the scene before them, the patchwork of paddy fields, the fragrance of green grass in the air, and the orderly thatched mud-stone houses in front of them, a completely different scene from what they had seen before, but it was also a place they had experienced not long ago.
His eyes fell on the tall tower in the middle of the village.
An indescribable feeling of panic surged into their minds.
They all looked at the backbone of the team, Yu Sang: "Senior Brother."
Yu Sang felt the weak spiritual energy around him. Was this an illusion? "Go in."
Now they can only go inside. If they don't break the illusion, they will just stand there anxiously.
"Don't worry, just go inside." Lin Wannian said to Yu Sang.
“Da Da——”
They walked along the muddy road towards the village, and the sound of their footsteps could be heard all around.
“Squeak—”
However, when they walked into the village, the locked wooden doors around them opened, and heads popped out from the dark thatched houses, staring at the strangers entering the village with puzzled eyes. When they noticed that they were a group of young teenagers, their eyes lit up.
"It's a human." Diane whispered.
Yu Sang clenched his sleeves and walked to the door of a family. He asked under the scrutiny of the other party, "Old man, we received information that a demon appeared in your place, so we came here specially to exorcise it."
The villager who was asking the question was an old man. He had sparse white hair on his head, and the remaining white hair was tied into a bun. He was missing a few teeth, with wrinkled and skinny cheeks. He looked at the boy in front of him with mixed eyes. He noticed the sword in his hand and closed the wooden door:
"Demon? There are no demons, but we saw a group of people wearing the same clothes as you came here."
Hearing this answer, Yu Sang asked him, "Where are those people?"
After asking this, Lao Tu only chuckled and pointed at the tall stone tower in front of him with his long nails: "Those people went in, and now they should have become food for the goddess."
When he said the latter sentence, his eyes showed excitement, and then he looked at Yu Sang and others: "You are also the ones who took the initiative to send food to the goddess, the tender skin and meat are more delicious."
Covetous eyes scanned their faces.
This made the team feel even more uncomfortable. Those who knew it was an illusion remained quiet, but they were shocked in their hearts: What's wrong with this old man? Why would he say such a thing, or is it just like this?
