Chapter 850: Ancient House and Forest
Chapter 850: Ancient House and Forest
"Ring ring ring..."
The wind blew through the wind chimes in the old house, making a light sound, but the sound that should have been pleasant seemed extremely eerie in the dark midnight.
"What is this place? Where are Feng Yin and Huang Chenyu?"
In the courtyard of the ancient house, two girls, one tall and one short, were standing in front of the door of the house, looking at each other and asking a series of questions. They were Mo Caiyi and Ye Junyue, who had just been sent out by Erguiyan.
When they were first sent out by the giant vine, everything was going well and they were together. But at this moment, the giant vine was suddenly blocked by something, and they instantly lost weight, so they fell down and walked right into the yard.
Feng Yin and Huang Chenyu were continued to be carried away by the giant vine and did not end up in the same place as them.
"I've seen this place on the news. It should be the abandoned old house in the urban legend of Qizhen City that attracts people and hangs them from a high place. I didn't expect us to fall here. I don't know whether it's lucky or unlucky."
Ye Junyue quickly calmed himself down, observed the surrounding environment and said with a sigh.
The unfortunate thing is that there is obviously something wrong with this place. There may be elves of high level and strange abilities that will pose a threat to them. But fortunately, although this place is gloomy and weird, it does not have those strange black flowers that make people's backs cold just by looking at them.
"Then what do we do now?"
Mo Caiyi carefully observed the surroundings and asked Ye Junyue.
"Don't worry. Although this old house is strange, it should be safer for us than outside. Let's stay here for now and try to contact Lin Shi and Feng Yin to see how they are doing. Then we can find a way to leave here."
Ye Junyue spoke quickly, taking out her computer as she spoke. She had just observed that the mobile phone signal was no longer usable, and now she could only rely on other means of communication.
"Okay Sister Ye, I understand."
Mo Caiyi nodded in agreement, but as soon as she finished speaking, a stronger wind came from the direction of the ancient house, making the wind chimes hanging at the door of the house ring even more rapidly.
"Ringling..."
The wind chimes were like drum beats. As their rhythm became more rapid, an invisible aura gradually spread out. Ye Junyue's hands slowly stopped moving, and his expression became solemn.
A faint light appeared on Mo Caiyi's body, and a huge cicada shadow with a halo on its head, hidden in the darkness, slowly appeared behind her.
"It seems that someone doesn't welcome us to stay here temporarily..."
……
The wind was blowing violently, and the weeds fell down. The forest in the darkness seemed to come alive and move with its fangs and claws.
And in such a terrifying environment, on a small path in the woods, two people were walking side by side.
"Isn't this delivery too far? Are we still in Sakura?"
Feng Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly, they had just landed in the woods, there was no one around, they had been walking for a long time, but there was no sign of getting out.
They didn't dare to fly in a high-profile manner, for fear of being entangled by the strange black flowers. Compared with that, just walking in the forest at night was no big deal.
"Why are you so weak? How long have we been walking?"
Huang Chenyu glanced at Feng Yin and continued.
"But you're right. Logically, at our speed, this amount of time should be enough to get out of the woods. When I looked at it from the air just now, it didn't seem that big."
"I suspect there's something wrong with this woods!"
Huang Chenyu's voice was low. Unlike Ye Junyue, the two had not seen the report of Qizhen City with their own eyes. Otherwise, they would definitely recognize that the woods they were in was the ghost forest that was rumored to be a place where one could only enter but not exit.
"Shh!"
Just as Huang Chenyu was observing and thinking, a blue light suddenly flashed before his eyes. When he subconsciously followed it, his body suddenly stiffened and his expression became strange.
Just in front of them, on the winding path, a row of neatly arranged figures appeared. Each of them held a lantern emitting a blue light...
……
"bass!"
A shadowy sword energy shot out, directly cutting the growing Xiyi flower in front of him into two halves. Lin Shi controlled the shield of the Shield Sword Monster and flew in the air with the golden red sword in his hand.
"Let's go down first. These Xiyi flowers seem to be more sensitive to movement in the air."
Lin Shi was communicating with the Shield Sword Monster in his mind, but this was only one of the reasons. The more important thing was that the light on the burning insect had become brighter and brighter since then, and it was too dazzling in the darkness.
He had no choice but to let the Shield Sword Monster use the power of the dark space to help cover it up, but even so, Lin Shi could still feel strands of golden light shining through the darkness.
"Oh!"
Falling to the ground, Lin Shi once again used his sword to split the Xiyi flower in front of him. At this time, the Dragon Palace Shrine was completely different from during the day. It had completely become the nest of the Xiyi flower, bringing people no longer hope but despair and death.
As soon as these Xiyi flowers appeared, they began to absorb energy crazily and change the surrounding environment. Everything they passed by turned into wasteland, and humans and elves were either pulled back to the spirit world by the Xiyi flowers to be sacrificed, or died directly in the slowly spreading spirit world.
“It’s hell on earth.”
Lin Shi was talking as he walked. Fortunately, there were not many tourists in Qizhen City now, and the incident happened at midnight, otherwise this wave of Xiyi Flower riots would be enough to kill thousands of people!
Lin Shi didn't see a single living person on the road, and only his footsteps were slowly echoing in the silent Ryugu Shrine.
"It seems that this Dragon Palace Shrine is not that simple..."
Lin Shi noticed that almost every Xiyi flower at the beginning appeared in a temple used for worship during the day. Such a pattern could not be a coincidence.
Lin Shi secretly calculated that if the Xiyi Flower riot went smoothly, the gatekeeper elves in the spirit world should have received the news and would come to suppress it soon.
But Lin Shi still wanted to find out the reason. The matter in the spiritual world was too serious. It was one of the reasons that led to the destruction of the elf world back then, and it was also a disaster that was enough to endanger the entire human world.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi clenched the sword in his hand and pondered his next destination.
If we were to say who in the entire Ryugu Shrine is most likely to know the inside story, there are only two people. As the chief priest, Mizunoto is naturally the one who knows the inside story. Considering the behavior at night, Lin Shi even suspects that he is the culprit.
The other one was Fujiwara Susumu, whose status within the shrine was second only to Mizunoto. As the chief priest, Lin Shi didn't believe that he was completely unaware of the strange things behind the shrine...
Thinking of this, Lin Shi turned his head and looked in one direction.
"Then I'll meet you first!"
