Soon, several people who had been checking separately returned to the hall.
"All dead, no one alive!" Lan Nuo's voice was deep.
"They were all drained of blood, without any trace of fighting!" Old Yu's tone was not relaxed either.
"I tried summoning rats to get some news, but not a single rat responded to me!" Mung Bean frowned with his sparse brows, "The rats have always been timid. I guess they feel some terrible presence.
, all escaped!"
Of course, as a close relative of the rat clan, Mung Bean of the rat demon clan is also a timid person. When he said this, his little eyes were still looking left and right, as if he was afraid that some monster would jump out from behind and swallow him.
Fall in general.
He Lanji nodded slightly, then his eyes caught sight of Dan who finally walked downstairs, "Did you notice anything?!"
Dan didn't have much expression on his face, "They are all dead people. They seem to have been sucked out of blood and died in their sleep!"
Turning around and walking out of the inn, He Lanji kicked open the door of the jade shop next door without even thinking, and walked into the inner room. Sure enough, the shopkeeper and the waiter were both dead on the bed, and they seemed to have been killed like the dead bodies in the inn.
The blood has been lost due to dryness, and there are dried blood holes on the neck.
After walking out of the jade shop, He Lanji waved his palm casually, "Go and look around!"
They scattered around and kicked open the doors of several surrounding shops, only to see the same scene.
From the elderly who are dozens of years old to the babies who are only a few months old... without exception, all of them have turned into dead bodies. There is not a single living person in the whole town, not even a dog is missing.
Not to mention the common birds and mice.
Dead town, a veritable dead town!
"Your Majesty!" Lan Nuo added to He Lan's silence and said, "Things are not going well. In my opinion, we'd better leave here as soon as possible!"
He Lanji frowned slightly. He didn't need to say anything. He knew clearly that the sooner he left at this time, the better. However, this sudden incident made him sensitive to the abnormality. If
It's definitely not He Lanji's character to just leave without asking.
After all, he is Helan Ji, the king of the northwest, and a member of the royal family. These are the people of the Helan family. He can't just sit back and do nothing. After pondering for a moment, Helan Ji quickly made a decision, "You hurry up.
Go to Qitian City and report this matter to the Emperor in person, saying that you followed the princess to participate in the Xuanwu Conference, and happened to come across this place when you came back. You found something unusual, and you were worried, so you came here to report it!"
"Your Majesty!" Lan Nuo did not agree immediately, "In my old servant's opinion, I'd better send you back to the northwest first, and then report the matter to the Emperor before it's too late!"
The strength of a person who can turn a small town into a dead city overnight without leaving a trace should not be underestimated. Chu Tianjiao had repeatedly warned him before that no matter what happened, he could not leave Helanji for even half a step.
From the day he left Luo City, Lan Nuo slept on the floor next to He Lan Ji's bed at night. He really followed Chu Tianjiao's orders thoroughly. Now that He Lan Ji asked him to leave and rush to the capital, how could he agree!
"Uncle Lan, don't worry, the prince is protected by me, so everything will be safe!" Dan walked up to him at some point and advised softly, "You just go to Qitian City to report the news, I will carefully guard the prince and never leave!
