"We're finally out! I'm about to suffocate to death! " After two hours of hard work, under the devouring of Xiao Chen and Shen Tianhu, the power of the barrier and sealing formation gradually weakened. In the end, everyone worked together to break through the independent space, and the Wushen Palace was buried deep in the pool.
"It's still more comfortable outside." Lin Mutian laughed, as if they had all been released from prison.
Xiao Chen laughed helplessly: "Wushen Palace Master's Wushen Space is truly powerful, the barrier and sealing formation are even more powerful. If this old thing wasn't injured, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to come out alive."
"Of course, I've already used up more than half of my strength!" Shen Tianhu laughed bitterly. Fortunately, there were pills to recover, otherwise, who knew how long it would take for him to recover his strength.
"Such a huge waterfall, who would have thought that there would be a palace hidden underneath. Luckily, our luck is not bad." Nie Wuqing laughed.
Blood Witch chuckled: "Everyone, rest for a while, we will continue our journey."
After Xiao Chen and the rest rested for a while, they continued their journey towards the southwest.
"Divine Sword, Samsara, have you seen this exquisite box before? It has such an ancient aura, it must be an ancient item. "While flying, Xiao Chen asked.
Samsara replied: "Replying master, this subordinate has never seen this kind of box."
"Master, I've never seen it before either. Perhaps it's just an ordinary box. It's just that it's a little heavy. In ancient times, there were many powerful weapon refiners. There were all kinds of magic treasures. Let alone a box, even a tree could be a magic treasure." The divine sword transmitted its voice.
Hearing that, Xiao Chen was a little disappointed, and said: "This box is definitely not an ordinary box, it can block my divine sense, this means that it is not simple. If it was an ordinary box, not to mention the weight, it would definitely not be able to block my divine sense."
"Master, perhaps Miss Dongfang is right, this box might be a magic treasure. Master can find an opportunity to drip blood on it and see if there is any reaction." Samsara said.
Xiao Chen secretly nodded, and said: "If it is a magic treasure, what effect would it have? Where did Temple Master Wu Shen get the box? "
It had an ancient aura. If it was a magic treasure, then it must be an ancient magic treasure. Since it was an ancient magic treasure, it might be some powerful magic treasure.
"Perhaps he obtained it through a fortuitous encounter." Samsara transmitted.
Xiao Chen was very interested in this exquisite grey-black box, but he didn't know if it was a magic treasure, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
There was still more than a month before the Ancient Deity Cave opened. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Xiao Chen and the others had already left the central region of the Western Divine Region and were now in a remote area.
The more remote it was, the poorer it was. There were no longer any magnificent palaces or cities, only some poor cities and small towns. There was no need to mention the experts. Although it was not a wasteland, there were still many cultivators. However, their cultivation bases were only average.
However, when Xiao Chen and the others passed by a small town, they found that there was not a single man in the town. There were only old women, women, and little girls. Not even a little boy could be seen.
This small town was called Windwood Town. It was surrounded by mountains, and there were no cities or small towns nearby. There were also no factions. All the buildings in the town were made of wood, and there was not even a loft made of earth. It could be seen how poor this town was.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, why is there not a single man in this town?" Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the town and looked around. There were only women on the old and tattered streets, and there was not a single man. Mu Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Shen Tianhu used his divine sense to check and said: "Xiao Chen, there is really no man, only women."
Only women? Could it be Widow's Village? Or Women's Village? Or the Womanland in Journey to the West? The answer was, of course, impossible.
"What are all the men in this town doing?" Xue Rufeng asked curiously. "There is not a single man in the radius of a few hundred miles."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said, "This Windwood Town is indeed a little strange. Since there are children, there must be men. But why is there not a single one? Could it be that they are all earning Divine Essence Stones? "
Oriental Snow was puzzled. She walked to the door of a house on the side of the street and asked a woman who was cleaning the courtyard, "Hello, may I ask why this Windwood Town is full of women?"
The woman who was cleaning the courtyard heard and looked at Oriental Snow. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and the others outside. Her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said, "Don't ask. Hurry up and leave this place. Hurry, hurry up and leave."
The woman was very anxious. As she spoke, she pushed Oriental Snow out. The woman didn't dislike her, but she was worried about others.
"Hey, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want to ask." Oriental Snow thought that the woman thought they were bad people and hurriedly explained. However, the woman ignored her and pushed Oriental Snow out of the courtyard and closed the door.
"Xue 'er, are you okay?" Xiao Chen asked, "Why did she push you out?"
Oriental Snow sighed and shook her head. "Sigh, I don't know what happened. I just asked her why there are no men in this town. Then, she pushed me out. Maybe she thinks we are bad people."
"I'll ask the others," Mu Qing said. Mu Qing said. Then, she walked to another house. But before she could ask, the woman had already left quickly.
"Mother, who are they? They don't have to go … "On the street, a slim little girl asked her mother. However, before she could finish, her mouth was covered by the woman.
The woman hurriedly pulled the child away and said, "Don't talk. Hurry up and leave."
Shen Tianhu saw this and asked curiously, "What are they doing? We don't eat people. Or are we ugly? Are all the men handsome? Are they so afraid of strangers? "
"Little White Tiger, how can you talk like that?" Blood Witch couldn't help but laugh. "The people in this town are all very weak. It's normal for them to be afraid of strangers."
"They aren't afraid of strangers. They seem to be afraid of getting into trouble." Yin-yang Shaotian slowly said, "From their expressions, I can see that they are worried about something."
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. "Shaotian is right. I think so too. It seems that something has happened in this town. Let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Chen and his group entered the town. The women and old women on the street all moved away. It was as if Xiao Chen and his group were the plague.
"Who are they? Why did they come to our Windwood Town? "A woman asked in confusion. A window of a house was slightly opened.
"They can't be sent by those people, right? Let's go and tell the mayor. "A woman guessed. A window of another house was also slightly opened.
Not long after Xiao Chen and his group entered the town, a pair of eyes peeked out from the windows of every house. They were sizing up Xiao Chen and his group.
The streets quickly became deserted. It was as if they had entered a deserted town.
"Is this town haunted? Seriously. "Seven Souls grumbled with a gloomy expression.
Xiao Chen and his group stopped at the crossroads of the town. They looked around, but there was not a single person in sight. Gusts of wind blew past them. It was not much different from a ghost town. It was a little eerie.
Just as Xiao Chen and his group were puzzled, the door of a house was opened. An old woman with white hair walked out with the help of a few women. The women all looked very scared.
"Xiao Chen, someone came out," Mu Yunshan said to Xiao Chen. He looked at the old woman who was slowly walking over.
Xiao Chen took the lead. After all, the other party was an old woman. He should respect her. Of course, he could not let the old woman walk in front of him.
"Old woman, this junior is Xiao Chen. They are all my friends. We have no ill intentions." Xiao Chen bowed slightly and greeted her politely.
The old woman smiled and asked, "I am the mayor of Windwood Town. Who are you? Why have you come to Windwood Town? "
"Old woman, we came from the central region. We happened to pass by and found that there was not a single man in Windwood Town. So, we came in to take a look out of curiosity," Mu Qing replied politely.
"So, you came from the central region." The old woman nodded. It was obvious that she had let down her guard.
"That's great! I thought we were their people. " One of the women let out a sigh of relief and muttered. The fear on her face gradually disappeared. The same was true for the other women.
"They?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Even though the woman's voice was soft, Xiao Chen still heard it. He secretly wondered, "Who are they?"
"Old woman, what happened here? Why did they look at us as if we were ghosts? "Oriental Snow asked curiously.
When the old woman heard this, she said, "Please come inside."
After all, this was a street. It was not a place to talk. Furthermore, the old woman was old. It was not appropriate for her to stand for too long.
The old woman lived in a simple courtyard house. However, compared to the other houses in Windwood Town, this courtyard house was simply a gorgeous palace.
In the hall, the old woman gestured for Xiao Chen to sit. However, there were not many chairs. Only a few people could sit. The others had to stand.
The other women of Windwood Town also rushed to the mayor's residence. They all gathered in the courtyard house to watch.
The old woman said embarrassedly, "Windwood Town is a little poor. Please don't mind."
"Old woman, you don't have to be so polite. They can just stand." Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
"It's good that you don't mind." The old woman nodded and said with a smile, "The Windwood Town of the past was not like this. It used to be very lively and carefree. There was nothing to worry about. However, all of this changed drastically six years ago."
"Old woman, what happened?" The impatient Gui Tu quickly asked. Xiao Chen and the others were also getting more and more curious.
The old woman's face flashed with sorrow. She seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life. She sighed and said, "Sigh, fate is not fair. Just six years ago, more than ten people of unknown origin came to Windwood Town. They took advantage of their high cultivation and forcefully captured all the men of Windwood Town. Both the old and the young were taken away. They have been gone for six years. No one knows if they are still alive."
