The three of them saw that Nangong Mingjing and others were fine, so they helped to find a few other people. These people didn't have much exposure to the dark aura, and they could slowly expel it on their own with their profound cultivation, so there was no need to worry too much. As for Nangong Kui
Probably because he was too useless, Jin Xiao Jinyu didn't even have the interest to attack him, so he was actually the one in the best physical condition. Of course, his mental condition was not that good.
Tianlan separated from Xiaotang and Ye Yi at this time, and chose a direction to search alone. However, Xiaotang and the others did not notice that the direction Tianlan chose was the direction where Jin Xiao Jinyu fled earlier. Nangong Mingjing and the others may have thought that their mission was completed.
, but Tianlan knew. Jin Xiao Jinyu was just two ordinary people who were lucky enough to pick up a golden scale pot. The strange phenomena here could not be caused by the two of them. And he clearly heard what Jin Xiao Jinyu said at the end.
"That Lord" should be the "madman" in Heilong Linsu's words. The strange person who arranged the deformed version of the colorful tower is also the original culprit that caused the strange scene here. If the prediction is correct, that person should be hiding nearby.
He walked briskly and looked around carefully. At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special here, but upon closer inspection, he could see that there were a lot of messy footprints here, slightly more than other places, which showed that someone should have been here recently.
Although some cover-ups were made, the techniques were not clever and could easily be seen through.
He leaned down and touched the footprints on the ground with his hands. Judging from the shape and depth of these footprints, he could preliminarily conclude that they were an ordinary person, and that he was a man.
Most warriors have light steps. Even warlocks who have not cultivated physical fitness have lighter steps than ordinary people. Ordinary people's steps are slightly heavier, and these footprints are relatively heavy. Male and female footprints can be roughly distinguished by their size. Of course, there are exceptions.
, these are just preliminary inferences.
He walked around the area and found nothing out of the ordinary. He wondered if it was another trick, and when he was about to inspect it carefully, he suddenly heard a slight noise.
His hearing was very sensitive, and he could hear the direction of the person with a slight movement of his ears. He hid behind a big tree and stood still, peeping quietly.
In this extremely quiet forest, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and even with Tianlan's hearing, he could hear the breathing of the person coming. He carefully poked his head out and saw that it was Old Han, the head of Xiaoyao Village.
!
Old Man Han walked straight over, and the path he took happened to coincide with the footprints Tianlan had just discovered! He could conclude that the person who often came here was the village chief, Old Man Han, but he didn't know what the purpose of his coming here was.
Old Man Han was very careful when he walked away. He would look back from time to time to see if he was being followed, as if he was hiding an ulterior secret. Tian Lan hid quietly aside, making no sound and breathing restrainedly. He believed that Old Man Han was an ordinary man.
The old man would definitely not be able to spot him, but he was right to be careful. There were no insects or birds in this forest, so any sound would be extremely obvious.
As expected, Old Man Han didn't notice. He walked carefully to a stone wall and carefully looked around. If he didn't find anything strange, he squatted down, touched the ground, and pressed on a stone. Suddenly, the stone wall in front of him appeared.
The boom rose, revealing a passage wide enough for one person. He looked around again before getting into the passage.
Not long after his figure disappeared into the passage, the stone wall came down with a bang, sealing the road. Now this place does not look strange at all. If they had not seen Old Han enter with their own eyes, ordinary people would never have imagined that there is such a mechanism here.
Tian Lan walked out lightly, with a faint smile on his face.
the other side.
In Xiaoyao Village, a dozen middle-aged men wearing military armor sat cross-legged and meditated, with several corpses neatly displayed beside them. They were their dead companions. Behind these people, there were two teenagers and a girl, the girl Dai Mei.
Locked tightly and looking around from time to time, one of the boys also frowned and kept walking around. The other boy was sitting on the ground in a daze.
"Too slow!" The young man pacing back and forth among them was naturally Ye Yi. They had recovered the bodies of all the victims, and after waiting for a long time without seeing Tian Lan return, they were naturally anxious.
"What has he done? Why hasn't he come back? This village is so big, where else could he go?" Ye Yi shouted dissatisfied.
Nangong Mingjing worriedly asked: "Could those two dark warlocks have accomplices? Will the Tianlan Brotherhood be in danger?" When he saw Tianlan not coming back for a long time, he couldn't help but think about the worst. Ye Yihe
Xiaotang actually thought of this too, and became even more uneasy after hearing him mention it.
Xiaotang stared at the direction Tianlan was leaving, remained silent for a long time, and said: "Let's go! Let's go find the young master! He must have discovered something!" Ye Yi naturally agreed, but Nangong Mingjing and the others had not yet recovered, so they did not follow.
Even if they come, they can't help. Instead, they need others to take care of them, so they might as well wait here. As for Nangong Kui, there is no need to scream. He was too frightened and was basically in a state of wandering.
Xiaotang and the others followed the footprints all the way to find the stone wall at the end, but they didn't see Tianlan yet.
"Not here? Where did he go?" Seeing that there was no one here, Ye Yi was about to turn around, but was stopped by Xiaotang.
"Wait, don't you think it's strange that the latest footprints disappeared after connecting to this stone wall?" Xiaotang approached the stone wall, stretched out her hand to touch it, and felt something cold. She squatted on the ground and began to look around, and found stones on the wall.
Take pictures everywhere.
"What are you doing?" Ye Yi asked, confused.
"Does this need to be said? Of course we are looking for a trap! It's so strange here, there must be a secret passage. Maybe it's some stone." Xiaotang rolled her eyes at him. She had been following Tianlan for so long and could distinguish many things.
.The stone wall is thick and cold, and there is no obvious energy fluctuation. It is unlikely to be a blind trick, so it must be a trap.
"Is it still so troublesome? Get out of the way!" Ye Yi drove Xiaotang aside, drew out his iron sword, and executed a clean move of "Crescent Moon Breaking Dawn", and the entire stone wall shattered with the sound!
"You... are really violent..." Xiaotang looked at the stones on the ground speechlessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This saves the time of looking for the agency. The two of them entered without saying anything. Regardless of whether Tianlan was here or not
Inside, there is no reason to back down once you reach this place!
Just as they thought, Tianlan had indeed entered this place. He did not go back to inform him. Firstly, he was worried that Xiaotang and the others would be in danger. Secondly, it was more convenient to move forward and retreat alone, especially since he was a wind warrior who was known for his speed.
Warlock.
He walked through a long tunnel and arrived at a strange stone room. This stone room was extremely strange. Many tall shelves were placed randomly, making the whole stone room look like a maze. On the floor, there were many large and small items on the shelves.
There are bottles of different colors and several large water tanks in the open space.
He couldn't help but frown secretly after taking a closer look. Most of these bottles and jars contained the remains of limbs and internal organs of various creatures, exuding a strong smell of corpse and blood. Those jars contained parts of human limbs, or even whole bodies.
The "water" inside the corpse was scarlet. I don't know whether it was soaked in blood or dyed red by blood.
