Chapter 48: Not like the human world
Zhou Han and Yu Luoxia inquired all the way, and finally they were about to reach their destination and meet up with the members of the Tiandao Alliance.
There were no interceptors along the way, which made Zhou Han feel a lot more comfortable. However, since noon today, the refreshing feeling in his heart has disappeared.
At noon, they passed through the warning circle set up by the Tiandao Alliance's Fa Zong Hall, but to their surprise, no one came to question them, and they simply passed through.
Yu Luoxia was puzzled and wondered how the Tiandao Alliance's execution efficiency could be so low when her father was in charge here. However, after a while, her thoughts disappeared.
It is obviously still late spring, but the vegetation here is showing a desolate scene. Fallen leaves are falling everywhere, leaving only the bare branches of the big trees, but these branches also give people a feeling of malnutrition, as if they have been eaten by something. It's like things have been drained of water.
These ignorant trees are like the bloody claws of evil spirits extending from the underworld, which makes people feel panic from the bottom of their hearts.
Spring has the bleak scenery of autumn, which is an abnormal thing, let alone such a terrifying scene.
Until now, neither of them has settled down.
Along the way, they didn't meet anyone, so they could only follow the directions given by previous passers-by, trying to find the location of the Tiandao Alliance's headquarters.
And the wild beasts they encountered occasionally attacked them desperately, forcing them to kill them.
Walking in this terrible environment, there seems to be an invisible sense of oppression, which makes people feel uneasy involuntarily.
Zhou Han has never stopped communicating with the outside world, but he can't find anything wrong with the surrounding environment. Perhaps he can think that those are normal flowers, plants and trees, they just look a little scary...
However, he could not accept the conclusion reached by Tianren Dao.
Because there was an uncontrollable tremor in his heart.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
The two men reined in their horses in front of a forest.
The horse could not enter the dense forest, so it had to be left outside for now.
"Is it okay?" Yu Luoxia asked worriedly, looking at the two horses that were trying to escape with their hooves uneasily.
She could feel the panic of the horses before and tried to escape from her control several times. Now seeing their panic, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhou Han knew she wasn't just worried about Ma.
The horses have been affected, but what about the people?
Will everyone in the Tiandao Alliance who are still among them, as well as them, be adversely affected?
Zhou Han couldn't give a definite answer, because Heaven and Humanity couldn't find any abnormal reason from this abnormal scene.
He has always been accustomed to using the Way of Heaven and Humanity to solve problems, but in the current situation, the Way of Heaven and Humanity seems to have no effect.
To put it simply, the way of heaven and humanity is to seek help from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Could it be that the real reason that causes the transition from spring to autumn has been hidden from heaven and earth?
Zhou Han had to admit that when he thought of this, he already panicked.
He has never been in this situation.
However, when he met Yu Luoxia's worried eyes, his heart calmed down.
In this situation, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to have a trustworthy person to rely on.
And they don't need to find out why this place is like this, they just need to find people from the Tiandao Alliance, which is not difficult.
He took Yu Luoxia's hand and said, "No problem."
The two of them walked hand in hand into this strange and strange forest.
…
Zhou Han and Yu Luoxia did not enter the depths of the woods, but explored the edge areas.
Whether it was their intuition or what they saw before them, they were clearly told that it was very dangerous inside.
It is impossible for the Tiandao Alliance to be stupid enough to establish a simple base in such a dense forest area. Not only is it inconvenient, but safety precautions are also very difficult.
But seeing the sun gradually setting, Yu Luoxia couldn't help but become anxious.
Spending the night here is not as good as before, I don't know what will happen.
Zhou Han comforted her a few words and still led the way with confidence.
It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid, but at this time, he cannot show his fear, otherwise Yu Luoxia will be even more afraid.
Fortunately, there were no spiritual fluctuations around them. If they encountered the master mentioned by that old lunatic, they would have no luck.
Suddenly, Yu Luoxia saw a figure in front of her, with her back turned to them, and she didn't seem to feel anyone coming.
She thought she had seen it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes and confirmed that it was a real person. She almost jumped up with excitement and stepped forward to ask for directions.
Zhou Han followed closely, staring at the man's back with doubts on his face.
This man's mandible opens and closes, and he should be eating, but his movements look unnatural, as if all the bones in his body have been dismantled and put back together. It doesn't look normal no matter how you look at it.
This area is not normal, will this person be normal?
But Tian Ren Dao looked at the man from the inside out and couldn't detect his...
There is no spiritual power in Qihai Dantian, not even the original spiritual power, only a trace of strange fluctuations.
If you're not a practitioner...it shouldn't matter.
While Zhou Han was thinking this, Yu Luoxia had already arrived beside him, patted his shoulder and said, "Have you seen anyone else around here?"
The man heard the sound and turned his head stiffly.
The blood on Yu Luoxia's face suddenly faded, her body was completely stiff, and it was extremely difficult to even move her fingers.
Zhou Han knew he was wrong.
It was a human face, but it could no longer be called a human face.
None of his facial features were intact, and they were twisted like a ghost crawling out of the underworld. There was no color in his eyes, only deep black. When he looked at Zhou Han, he revealed a mouthful of blood-red, tattered teeth.
There is still a piece of flesh and blood on his hand, which must have been torn off his thigh just now.
This man is actually eating his own flesh.
But this man's movements at this time were extremely fast, and he didn't feel stiff at all. His teeth, which were still stained with his own flesh and blood, exuded a strong fishy smell.
Sensing Yu Luoxia's presence, the "person" visibly paused, then stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Luoxia.
Yu Luoxia was already petrified with fear. Although she had a lot of cultivation, she could not even pull out the Mingxia stick.
Fortunately, Zhou Han was by her side and kept staring at this "person".
The moment he attacked, Zhou Han moved.
He grabbed Yu Luoxia and protected her with his back.
At the same time, the ice marbles were bounced into the clothes on his back, and a sheet of ice instantly covered his back.
His reaction was extremely quick and his response was perfect.
But he didn't think of anything.
The man didn't have any spiritual power around him, but his hand strength was unexpectedly strong. A faint black energy surged out from his nails, and he actually opened a crack in the ice formed by Beiming's true energy.
There was blood flowing out.
Zhou Han felt a pain on his back, gritted his teeth, and an ice marble flew into the man's mouth. Beiming's true energy exploded, and countless ice picks pierced his head, and black blood spurted out, which was extremely scary to watch.
Zhou Han flew up with a kick, kicked it away, and hit it hard against a tree. It made a crisp sound when it landed. It turned out that it had been completely frozen by Beiming's true energy and could no longer move at all.
Only then did he let go of Yu Luoxia, who was already frightened and at a loss. He looked at the hideous and terrifying ice sculpture with a very heavy expression on his face.
Is this a human being? What is going on?
