As soon as he stepped into the village, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.
Different from the impression, Huangtu Village at this time is obviously more lonely and dilapidated.
There are weeds everywhere that have not been cleaned up, and dense spider webs are hanging layer after layer. At first glance, it seems that no one has lived here for several years.
In fact, no one could be seen in the village in front of them.
Even the old village chief and the villagers who had blocked Zhang Mu from entering the village had disappeared now.
The entire Huangtu Village seems to be completely abandoned.
Ling Yun kept walking and walked in a certain direction. Soon, a dilapidated house appeared in front of him.
Looking at this dilapidated house, Ling Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.
Although it was just a residual memory, a complex emotion could not help but emerge in my heart at this moment.
The people behind him did not dare to disturb him when they saw this, and they dispersed around and became alert.
After a moment of silence, Ling Yun suppressed the strange emotion and regained his composure.
Glancing around, a talisman appeared in his hand, which was Soul-Seeking Talisman that Wen Qin had given him before.
However, Fu Lu didn't seem to have any reaction at this time. It seemed that the souls of his parents were not here.
Ling Yun frowned slightly and turned to look at the person next to him.
"Old Ma, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
"Captain Ling You're too polite." Ma Xiu cupped his hands in flattery, and then dozens of black shadows spread around like swimming fish.
Ling Yun didn't interrupt, just waited quietly with his hands behind his back.
Not long after, those separated black shadows returned to the shadow of Ma Xiu one by one.
"How?" Ling Yun saw this and asked calmly.
At this time, Ma Xiu opened his eyes again, looking a little confused, as if he had discovered something.
Faced with Ling Yun's inquiry, he said hesitantly.
"This village is very weird. It feels like there is something inside that suppresses my perception."
"But there seems to be a breath of living people in that direction."
Ling Yun looked in the direction he pointed, without any hesitation, and walked forward directly.
"Quick, follow up!"
Zhang Mu shouted at the men behind him, and hurriedly followed him.
Although he didn't bring many people this time, they were basically all the elites in Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Gang.
The weakest one is also a Force Conduit level player, so his actions are quite orderly.
Even Li Tao, who had just recovered from his injury, was strengthened this time.
Before taking a few steps, Zhang Mu felt inexplicably as if he had stepped on a hard lump on the sole of his foot, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
He moved his feet to look down in confusion, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Subconsciously, he bent down to pick it up and wiped off the soil above it. It could be vaguely seen that it seemed to be a beautifully wrapped candy.
"What, did you find anything?" Li Tao behind him saw the strange look on his face and asked involuntarily.
"It's okay, I saw it wrong." Zhang Mu was silent for a moment and forced a smile.
Then he put the candy into his clothes and continued to walk quickly forward.
Li Tao Although he was a little confused when he saw this, he had no choice but to give up when he saw that he didn't want to say more.
In this way, the group of people walked warily towards the depths of the village.
Wherever he passed, except for the footsteps of a few people, there was no other sound. The whole village was eerily quiet.
Not long after, a wide square appeared in front of everyone.
There are not many facilities in the square, except for a tall willow tree in the center.
It's obviously only June now, but the willow leaves above are all dead.
But no one cares about this now. Everyone's eyes are focused on the willow tree, looking a little surprised.
I saw dozens of figures hanging densely on the tree trunk at this moment!
Judging from their clothes, they were the villagers of Huangtu Village. No wonder they couldn't find anyone along the way. They all came here.
At this time, as a gust of wind blew by, these figures swayed slightly back and forth, and the scene looked a bit chilling.
Fortunately, everyone was not ordinary people. After a brief panic, they quickly regained their composure.
Only Zhang Mu's face was still very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on one of them, a small figure wearing a shabby floral dress.
"Brother Zhang, are you okay?" Li Tao next to him saw something was wrong and asked in confusion.
Zhang Mu came to his senses after hearing this, and slightly loosened his clenched palms, revealing one of the candies that had been severely deformed.
He took a long breath and looked at Li Tao, grinning.
"Don't worry, what can happen to me?"
"It's just that I felt a little uncomfortable seeing such a scene for a while."
Li Tao looked surprised when he heard this, looked him up and down, and couldn't help but joke.
"Aren't you usually very majestic? How could you be frightened like this?"
Zhang Mu did not explain, but just laughed.
But there seemed to be a suppressed emotion hidden in this smile.
Ling Yun ignored them and stood quietly with his arms folded, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly walked towards the willow tree.
Everyone did not hesitate and followed him one after another.
It wasn't until they got closer that everyone discovered that there were several pale and skinny figures sitting on the other side of the willow tree.
If it weren't for that weak breathing, no one would think they were still alive.
Although they all had their eyes open at this time, their eyes were extremely numb, and they had no reaction to the arrival of the group of people, as if they were all living dead.
Ling Yun's eyes swept across the two figures, and the originally calm face could not help but flash a trace of fluctuation.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"Uncle Niu, Aunt Niu, what are you doing here? What happened here?"
As his voice sounded, the eyes of a middle-aged man and woman sitting next to each other suddenly flashed, and they seemed to have regained some sanity.
They raised their heads with some difficulty, stared at Ling Yun for a long time, and then spoke intermittently and in a hoarse voice.
"It turns out to be Xiaoyun, you... didn't you go to Cloud City... why did you run back..."
"It's okay that you're back... it's okay that you're back... I'll let your aunt make some more vegetable dumplings later..."
"By the way...Young Master Fang... Why didn't you come back with you... He... he likes to eat the most..."
"Xiao Yun... Auntie, I want to ask you something... next time you leave... why don't you just take Niu'er with you... let... let him follow..."
Listening to the chattering words of the two people, Ling Yun glanced at a simple-looking figure hanging above and did not reply for a long time.
At this moment, a look of pain suddenly flashed across their faces, and their bodies began to twist.
"It's so itchy... it's so itchy..."
"It hurts... it hurts..."
As the two struggled, their bodies also slightly moved away from the willow tree.
When they saw the situation of the two people clearly, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
On their backs, dense tree roots protruded from the willow trees and were piercing deeply into their flesh and blood!
