A few days later.

At dusk in the evening, the sun in the west is about to set, and the clouds are stained with blood.

The Shen family and his group finally walked out of the rainy Qianhua County, passed the Yuqian Pass and entered Yuyin County.

Instead of sitting in the car to practice as usual, Chen Luo drove the carriage himself. Instead, he let the young coachman who had driven the carriage for him for more than half a month along the way rest and sat on the other side.

The coachman was named Wang Yuan, who was originally the son of the butler of the Shen family. When the city was broken, the whole family stayed in the city. Only after the old butler asked for it was asked by Chen Huayuan.

"Sir Chen, is that mountain the Yuqian Mountain?" Wang Yuan raised his hand and pointed at a blurry black mountain in the distance and asked.

"That's right, it's there." Chen Luo glanced at it, nodded, and said.

"When I was a child, I heard from my father that this was an important place for medicinal materials in the Shen family. I said that there were many elm trees growing on the mountain. Every year when the season came, the trees would be covered with sweet elm seeds, which looked like small copper coins. They could be eaten raw and steamed and cooked. Those who ate it can be lucky enough to be rich." Wang Yuan said with a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes.

"Elmet seeds... I ate them when I was a child." Chen Luo couldn't help but recall the past when he heard this.

"How does it taste?" Wang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly and he asked quickly.

Seeing that he looked expectant, Chen Luo couldn't bear to lie to him, so he had to say, "It's been too long, I can't remember it."

In fact, he did eat elm seed rice when he was a child, but there were too many delicious foods at that time. He didn't like the taste, so he didn't think there was anything sweet.

But I didn’t expect that in the world a thousand years later, even such things became unattainable food.

"My father has never eaten it, but every time I talk about it, it makes my teeth and cheeks feel salivation, but I can't imagine what it tastes like." Wang Yuan glanced at the Yuqian Mountain from afar and said with some disappointment.

"I remember there should be elm trees in Chunhua County, right?" Chen Luo pondered for a moment and asked.

When Wang Yuan heard this, he didn't think about why Chen Luo knew about this. He just shook his head and said, "There is an old elm tree, which is more than two hundred years old, but unfortunately he has already died."

Chen Luo heard this and became silent.

After all, in a thousand years, Chunhua County can become a big city comparable to a state city. What else will not change?

As the two were talking, the carriage in front of the convoy suddenly stopped after a horse roar. The sinking nose frowned slightly, and immediately smelled a smell of blood and frowned.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, he saw that Chen Quan was running back quickly.

"Senior Chen, go ahead and take a look. There is something wrong." Chen Quan shouted from afar with his fists.

Chen Luo did not hesitate and rushed over quickly. However, the closer he got to the front of the team, the tighter his brows frowned, and the more intense the bloody smell in the air became.

He pushed away the Shen family, and saw a large bloody flower splashing on the ground at a glance. It was dark in color and had dried up and scabs. Many human limbs fell scattered in the distance. The scene was extremely bloody, which caused many people to gasp. Some tribesmen ran aside and retching.

Chen Luo looked at the broken hands and feet all over the ground, and even though he was used to life and death, his scalp was numb.

"Senior, we have roughly counted it. There are more than ten corpses in total, and most of them have disappeared. It seems that they have been attacked by some monster." Chen Yu walked up and said.

Chen Luo heard this and said nothing. He bent down silently, grabbed a young child's broken hand, stared at the broken mouth for a moment, and then took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms and shook it in the air.

The yellow paper talisman with mountain runes was slightly rumbling, but no light appeared on it.

"It's not done by monsters." Chen Luo put away the talisman paper, stood up and said.

"The corpse is so damaged, it seems to be done by an irrational monster. Why do you say it is not done by a monster?" Chen Huayuan couldn't help asking.

"I just used the mountain talisman to investigate, and there was no demonic energy around. Moreover, although the corpses here were dismembered, if you look carefully, you will find that the tooth marks at the broken limbs were not obvious. " Chen Luo's expression remained unchanged and he said.

Hearing this, Chen Huayuan immediately flipped through the remaining limbs and quickly found a piece of arm with tooth marks. After seeing it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "How come this tooth mark... looks like a human race?"

When the others heard this, they all came up to check it out, and after seeing it, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Even if the human race kills people, they will not do such a thing as cutting off the liver, digging the heart, sucking the bones and dispersing the corpse. In my opinion, most of them have encountered monsters, and they are likely to be monsters infected by the demonic energy and transformed from the human race." Chen Luo continued.

Hearing the word "monster", the expressions of the Shen family changed slightly.

"I think this analysis is probably the truth. If there are monsters here, then our plan to spend the night in the town ahead will probably change." Chen Huayuan thought for a moment and said.

"Monsters are more difficult to deal with than ordinary demons. If we can avoid them, try our best to avoid them. We will rush tonight, bypass Qingyan Town in front, and wait for the other side of Jiyun Mountain to rest." Chen Yu also frowned.

"It's good." Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

So everyone gathered all the remains of the ground and buried them, and then spared the Qingyan Town, which had been abandoned for many years, and left the Wantao Forest outside the town.

...

Outside Qingyan Town, there are tens of millions of peach forests.

The peach trees that should have been full of vitality are now dry and solid, and cracked and charred traces can be seen everywhere on the ground. All the peach trees around have completely died, and black branches are like desperate hands stretching towards the sky.

Gradually, the sky became darker and the dead trees were shadowing around. As the Shen family walked in, they could vaguely hear the whispering and sob sounds of night wind blowing through the treetops.

Chen Luo and Shen Yu shared a carriage and walked at the front of the team.

"You don't have to be too nervous. It's not a good thing to be nervous for a long time." Chen Luo saw Chen Yu's expression stiff on the side, and couldn't help but remind him.

Since he began to practice the three-star demon-killing magical power and lure into his body, his speed of breaking the blockade in his body has greatly increased. Now he has recovered his strength in the middle stage of Soul Condensation. His spiritual consciousness can be released a little. If there is danger to approach, he can still notice it in advance.
