* Rustle, rustle, rustle … *
Raindrops hit the leaves, emitting a gloomy aura. The atmosphere was extremely stifling.
However, Ye Qinghan walked deeper into the forest without fear. He was never afraid of demons or ghosts. If there were demons, then he was a demon himself.
After walking for about five kilometers, Ye Qinghan felt that something was amiss. Finally, he could no longer remain calm.
"Eh … Logically speaking, we should have arrived." Ye Qinghan calculated the time and distance, but he still did not find the abandoned village.
* Whoosh! *
Ye Qinghan waved his hand and carved a mark on an ancient tree, then continued walking.
However, after walking for an hour, Ye Qinghan realized that he had returned to the tree where he had left his mark. He could not help but rub his nose and say to himself, "It's actually a maze. Interesting."
Since Ye Qinghan was unwilling to admit defeat, he was definitely going to enter the abandoned village to see what the buildings were made of. They were actually able to withstand the erosion of time and survive for so long.
His spiritual pets had gone with the divine bird. Now, Ye Qinghan was truly alone. Since he could not fly, he had to climb the trees.
Ye Qinghan quickly arrived at one of the oldest trees in the area. The straight trunk of the tree was thirty feet thick, and it would take at least ten men to wrap their arms around it. His hands were like suction cups as he continuously climbed up.
The ten-meter-tall ancient tree was not a problem for Ye Qinghan. After a while, he reached the top of the tree. However, when he looked around, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the tree!
There was no abandoned village around! There were ancient trees and mountains everywhere.
"Am I seeing things because of my old age?"
Ye Qinghan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. However, he still could not see the abandoned village.
"Maybe I didn't climb high enough. Let's go up and take a look …"
Ye Qinghan muttered to himself. He quickly jumped down from the tree and climbed up a nearby mountain.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Ye Qinghan let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, I didn't climb high enough. I can see the abandoned village from here..."
Following the steep cliffs, Ye Qinghan approached the village step by step. At the same time, he was calculating the exact location of the village. Less than three miles away, he was back in the forest.
Ye Qinghan quickly rushed over according to the directions. But after walking for less than an incense stick's worth of time, he finally realized that something was wrong. This was because he had been here before. The surrounding ancient trees all had his markings!
"I've been playing with formations and maze formations my whole life, and I've actually been confused by a maze formation!"
Ye Qinghan flew into a rage out of humiliation. He waved his hand to summon Seven Foot Madness and slashed at an ancient tree in front of him. However, not only did this strike fail to split the ancient tree, it even sent it flying. All it left was a finger-deep scar on the tree bark.
F * ck! If they had to cut down all the trees to get into the village, they probably wouldn't be able to get in by the next year!
Ye Qinghan had no choice but to stop using Seven Foot Madness and start thinking of a new way to get into the village.
The formation was formless and completely formed by nature. Or rather, the person who set up the formation defied the heavens and changed his fate. With mountains and rivers as the foundation and stars as the eye of the formation, this kind of formation was basically unbreakable. Unless he understood the mysteries of the formation, he could only rely on flying.
Flying...
Ye Qinghan's eyes lit up. He climbed up the mountain again. Using the ancient tree, he carved out two planks that looked like wings. He tied them together with a large number of leaves and then tied them to his back with thin vines. He used his arms as support.
"I'm smart. This kind of small problem can't stop me!"
Ye Qinghan was pleased with himself. His thinking was very forward. He had actually made a glider. However, this was very dangerous. If he was not careful, he would fall and become minced meat.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Ye Qinghan took a few deep breaths and adjusted his state of mind. He calculated the distance to the village and the wind speed. With a leap, his body glided like a bird soaring through the air. He was so fast that his facial muscles were distorted by the wind.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The glider wings on his back were almost broken. They trembled violently. Ye Qinghan was scared witless. If his wings were broken, he would be crippled!
He was getting closer and closer to the village. Looking down from above, he could see that even the houses were engraved with the mysteries of the formation. There were more than a hundred houses in total and they were arranged in an orderly manner like a small town.
He was about thirty meters away from the ground. At this height, Ye Qinghan's life was not threatened. He forcefully broke his wings and rushed out of the village with the Seven Foot Frenzy in his hand.
Boom!!
Ye Qinghan fell to the ground and knelt on one knee. Stone fragments flew in all directions as Qi surged in all directions.
The village came into view. It was a winding path paved with green stones. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the village. It seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Ye Qinghan walked closer to take a look. The words on the tablet were bold and powerful. They were like dragons that wanted to soar into the sky.
The words seemed to be alive. They could come out of the tablet at any time!
Ghost Gate Town!
It was a terrifying name. The words were written in the language of the Great Shang World. They were different from those of the Eternal World. However, there were some similarities. Moreover, they were pictographic characters. They were easy to recognize.
Ye Qinghan's right eye twitched violently. He became increasingly vigilant. He could not help but think to himself. "Could the Flame Emperor Bird be telling the truth? Are there some things that I cannot see? "
Dong dong dong!
Hua hua hua!
Ye Qinghan's heart was thumping wildly as he looked around at the quiet and secluded surroundings. The desolate mountain village was covered with thistles and thorns, and the pitter-patter of rain. This place could be considered a fairyland, but at the moment, he felt his hair stand on end.
"Judging by this path, the grass has already grown out. No one should have come here for many years. There can't be any danger!"
Ye Qinghan's fingertips trembled slightly. It was a panic that came from his bones.
Da da da!!
Ye Qinghan stepped on the water and quickly made his way to the village.
Every building was a courtyard house. There were stone statues of dragons and tigers at the entrance. They were still standing even now. The materials used must be very special.
Weeds had grown out of the stone steps, sealing the door.
Ye Qinghan swung his Heavy Maniac to cut the weeds and open a path. He pushed open the first house. The courtyard was empty. Spider webs covered the entire roof. The house was in a mess, as if it had been attacked by bandits. Rubble was everywhere. It was very miserable.
Screech — —
Screech!!
Some of the mutated bats let out shrill cries and quickly rushed out of the house. There were many of them. They all rushed towards Ye Qinghan.
With a thought, Ye Qinghan covered his body with flames and forced the mutated bats back.
"Is anyone there?"
Ye Qinghan looked at the empty courtyard house. Although he knew that there was no one, he still subconsciously shouted.
Weng!!
The echo echoed in the courtyard. It was particularly frightening.
Ye Qinghan rubbed his nose. He was not afraid at first. However, after being frightened by the Flame Emperor Bird, he panicked. He held his Heavy Maniac and slowly walked in.
Crack crack!!
A piece of rotten wood was crushed. Ye Qinghan stepped into the main house. The walls had collapsed and there was no wind. There were only a few corners where some spiritless beasts lived. There were weeds everywhere. It was desolate and uninhabited. It seemed that no one had come here for millions of years.
Ye Qinghan slowly searched. Suddenly, a strange sound startled him. It sounded like the sound of bones breaking.
Ye Qinghan abruptly looked down and saw a sinister skeleton. It was the skeleton of a human. The flesh had already decayed, but the skeleton exuded a profound aura. Due to the ravages of time, it had already decayed to the point where it couldn't even withstand a single kick.
