Cai Ru frowned and said in a low voice, "Actually, when we arrived, the two families had completely disappeared. I heard from the people nearby that they met with an accident in their sleep, but no one saw who carried the corpses away. "
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said, "Without the corpses, we can't be sure of anything just from the mouth of a passerby."
"Master, do you mean that the two families might not be dead?"
She wasn't sure about this either.
However, even if they were not dead, they must be in a bad situation.
After all, this was a warning from the Baili Family to them.
"Send people to continue the investigation and strengthen the protection of the others."
"Yes."
Cai Ru left and Lin Mengya looked out of the carriage.
In the evening, they would arrive at Liuhe Town as mentioned in the letter.
There would be a lot of trouble ahead of them.
It was late at night and the dew was getting heavier, but the group of people hurried on their way.
Liuhe Town was not big or famous.
But in this quiet night, the pitch-black street made people feel uneasy.
Lin Mengya's carriage was moving in the front position.
As soon as they entered the town, she asked the coachman to stop and got out of the carriage accompanied by Baisu and Cai Ru.
"Master, something doesn't seem right here."
Baisu looked around alertly and shielded Lin Mengya behind her.
Lin Mengya nodded silently as she looked around.
It was too quiet here.
Moreover, the air was filled with a smell of death.
It was like an ancient tomb that had been silent for many years was suddenly opened, waiting for the sacrificial offering.
This kind of feeling made her feel an eerie chill seeping out from the cracks of her bones.
"What's going on here?"
"Why is there no one here?"
Behind them, people from the Poison Sect arrived one after another.
Even the slowest person would notice the abnormality of this place.
Lin Mengya asked everyone to quiet down and then gathered them in the open space in the middle of the town.
"Don't worry, everyone. They must have their reasons for asking us to come here."
She had to admit that in such a strange atmosphere, her calmness in the face of danger gave these people something to rely on.
She picked out some of the stronger young men who could at least protect themselves, and then divided them into four teams.
Then, he had the Gong Family's guards mix with them and head into the town to scout ahead.
However, she wasn't idle either.
She set the system's detection function to the highest level. She closed her eyes and looked like she was resting, but
He discovered a shocking fact.
"Go and call them back."
Lin Mengya instructed Cai Ru in a low voice, but her heart was slightly cold.
If there were no surprises, there should be no one left alive in the town.
What was the difference between a dead town and a graveyard?
Cai Ru walked to the side and used a special method to communicate with the guards who were sent out.
Soon, the people who went out to explore the way returned one after another.
However, there was still one team left.
"What happened? Where are they?"
Lin Mengya frowned and asked.
This place was filled with strangeness. The Baili Clan had clearly lured them here with ill intentions.
Running around now was simply courting death.
Cai Ru tried to contact them again, but this time, there was no response from them.
"Master, did they leave the town?"
Lin Mengya frowned even more when she heard this.
She didn't know about the others, but the Gong Family's guards would never disregard her order to leave the town first.
She was afraid that they had given birth.
There was no accident.
"Let's wait a little longer."
About half an hour later, finally, someone stumbled out of the dark with a torch in his hand.
"Help, help me!"
The man fell to the ground, and people immediately surrounded him.
At this moment, they saw that the man was covered in blood and half of his arm was missing.
The man's terrible condition caused a commotion.
Lin Mengya immediately went forward to stop the bleeding. When she examined the wound, she found that the man's broken arm seemed to have been bitten off by something.
From the traces of the wound, it looked like human teeth!
Thinking that someone had bitten his own kind, Lin Mengya couldn't help getting goosebumps.
The man had lost too much blood and couldn't wake up for a while.
She returned to her own fire and obviously felt the atmosphere, so she tensed up.
The man silently walked to her side and a cloak that was still warm from his body landed on her back.
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at him.
"I want to see for myself."
She grabbed the cloak, and her fingertips were slightly cold.
Long Tianhao just stared at her and said softly, "I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Lin Mengya didn't hide it from them.
Although on the surface, these people temporarily regarded her as their leader, in fact, few of them really acknowledged her position.
She didn't want to push innocent people to die.
After all, everyone was forced to get involved in such a matter.
Moreover, there were some things that would be a burden if there were more people.
Teacher and Uncle Master refused to agree.
In the end, they asked her to stay on the grounds of comforting the people.
Long Tianhao stood behind her all the time.
Her eyes, which were like cold stars, moved along with her figure.
Baili Rui and Wu Bao suddenly felt a little redundant.
Under their repeated instructions, the two of them brought more than a dozen guards with them and headed in the direction where the last squad had disappeared.
The town was frighteningly quiet.
Even the sound of their footsteps could be heard clearly.
Lin Mengya observed the surroundings.
Judging from the situation here, no one would come to Liuhe Town for at least half a year.
Just what kind of secrets did this seemingly isolated town hide?
They smoothly passed through the streets of the town and came to the edge of a forest.
The wind passed through the branches, and the bare branches were like ghosts, swaying with the wind.
Such an atmosphere was simply perfect for a horror film.
The group walked in. In the forest, she seemed to hear people's voices.
The source of the voice came from the depths of the forest.
"Be careful!"
Long Tianhao also heard it, so he warned everyone.
Then, he held her hand tightly, and under the protection of the crowd, they slowly walked into the palace.
Not far away, they saw a few points of fire.
From the looks of it, they seemed to be trapped in the middle by something.
Long Tianhao suddenly stopped and made a gesture to the people behind him.
Almost in an instant, the guards climbed up the surrounding trees as light as swallows.
Only the two of them were left.
Then, Long Tianhao raised his hand and carried her on his back.
"Hold me tight."
Subconsciously, she did as he said.
Then, the man steadily carried her on his back and climbed to the largest tree in the vicinity.
Not long after they climbed up, several figures arrived at the place where they were just standing.
Because they were the last to go up. At this time, they were still far from the ground.
How far.
She could see it clearly.
The person standing in the same place, constantly looking to the side, was actually a person!
But their behavior was not like normal people.
On the contrary, they looked like people who had been transformed.
Long Tianhao was not slow. Even with her on his back, he could climb to the highest point.
Around them, the guards stared at the scene below with vigilance.
After checking for a while, they could not find anything and could only leave unwillingly.
"Did you see it too?"
She bit Long Tianhao's ear and asked softly.
But she did not know that the warm and fragrant breath almost made the man's hands weak.
After calming down a little, Long Tianhao nodded and whispered, "Do you remember those people in animal skins when the beast tide came to the Immortal City?"
Of course, she remembered.
And she felt disgusted for a while.
Could it be that these people were the same as what she had encountered before?
But soon, Long Tianhao dispelled her doubts.
"They should be different. Those 'beasts' in the Immortal City have been transformed from an early age and then raised with real beasts. And these people should not be so thorough. "
Even if she heard about the various means of the Immortal City, it was enough to make her hair stand on end.
She immediately thought of the person who was bitten.
"In other words, the person just now was also injured by them?"
Long Tianhao nodded. He was afraid so.
The reason why he wanted everyone to climb the tree first was that these people were no longer ordinary people.
They had sharpness comparable to that of beasts, and they did not know what else was unusual about these people.
Hanging on his back, Lin Mengya stared at something not far ahead.
Like beasts, these people seemed to be afraid of fire.
Because those torches did not seem to be reduced, which meant that the people inside could still hold on for the time being.
"Since they are afraid of fire, why don't we use fire to expel them?"
Long Tianhao nodded. It was almost the same as what he thought.
He lowered his voice and instructed the guards around him.
Then, the crackling sound of branches breaking could be heard.
Soon, under the tree, people who were attracted by the sound formed a circle.
They kept shaking the tree trunk, as if they were a little anxious.
But the Gong family guards were all good at this. Under such conditions, they still firmly stuck to the tree trunk.
Just when those people could not help but want to climb the tree, the sky full of fire suddenly fell.
Then, she heard several screams of fear.
The guards ignited the dry branches and threw them down.
The people below were instantly scared away.
Soon, the surrounding area was cleared.
Everyone landed one after another, but in their hands, they all held a bundle of dry firewood and burning branches.
"Let's go!"
Long Tianhao carried her on his back and took the lead.
The guards behind him did not make a sound, but the firewood in their hands, like arrows, cut off all the people who tried to get close.
Lin Mengya was a little puzzled.
These people were all her family members. Why did they cooperate so well with her husband?
But it only lasted for a moment. Then, she saw the scene in front of her.
It was like purgatory.
"Someone is coming to save us!"
Someone in the besieged crowd recognized his companions.
Relying on the dry firewood in their hands, they successfully opened up a gap and rushed to the side of the remaining people in one go.
But in the periphery, there were dozens of broken bodies lying on the ground.
And on the bodies, there were many people biting and gnawing.
This scene, in the bloody scene, revealed a different kind of strangeness.
