Silence enveloped the entire village. When Xiao Nuo was on the back of the Snow-winged Eagle, Xiao Nuo did not observe carefully. When he entered the village, he found that the village was unusually quiet...
Every house was empty. Wherever you looked, there wasn't even a soul.
"what happened?"
Xiao Nuo frowned slightly, and couldn't help but recall the sentence on the map in his mind.
There is some movement in the area around Night Hell Valley, the reason is unknown!
Could it be that due to unknown movements, all the villagers in the village have moved away?
With some doubts, Xiao Nuo randomly entered a house.
The furnishings in the house are all normal, and there isn't much dust on the floor. It's obvious that they just moved out...
But then, Xiao Nuo overturned his previous idea, because there were actually bowls and chopsticks of food on the table in the room.
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly. The food on the table was sour, and he could smell a strong rancid smell from a few meters away.
Some bowls have half a bowl of rice.
If you are evacuating and leaving, you probably won’t even be able to cook, let alone only eat half of the meal.
It is very likely that this happened due to an unexpected situation.
Afterwards, Xiao Nuo went to the house in the next village, but it was also empty.
There was also a large amount of food left on the table, and the clothes in the room showed no signs of being disturbed. Xiao Nuo also saw fine gold, silver, and other items in the drawers of the main room...
"My belongings are all still there and my clothes are full. It's definitely not an escape!"
Xiao Nuo was even more determined that the villagers encountered an emergency, which led to the entire village being emptied.
After leaving the house, Xiao Nuo came to the main road of the village.
"Huh? The livestock are still there..." Xiao Nuo saw an old ox tied under a big osmanthus tree at the end of the village, and there were a few chickens and ducks swimming around in the fence on the other side.
"Only people are missing!"
Xiao Nuo narrowed his eyes and asked Ta Ling, "Do you know what happened here?"
Taling replied, "The information currently available is too little, and we can't deduce the cause yet."
Xiao Nuo nodded slightly, thinking that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time.
Immediately, Xiao Nuo returned along the original route.
On the high ground ahead, the Snow-winged Eagle was eating. It caught a relatively large wild boar from somewhere.
The wild boar's head is
The snow-winged eagle's sharp claws made several bloody holes, and its barb-like beak continued to tear open the wild boar's flesh.
Seeing Xiao Nuo coming back, the Snow-winged Eagle let out a low cry.
Xiao Nuo did not step forward immediately, but waited for the other party to finish eating first.
After a while, two-thirds of the huge wild boar was eaten away, and the Snow-winged Eagle also let out a long roar of satisfaction.
Xiao Nuo climbed on the eagle's back.
"Bah!"
The loud whistle soared into the sky, and the Snow-winged Eagle spread its white wings, then flapped its wings and flew away, taking Xiao Nuo high into the sky.
About half an hour later, Xiao Nuo discovered another village. He went down to investigate and found that the situation was almost the same as that of the village just now.
From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, there was no one.
Xiao Nuo then decided to go deep into the mountains and forests to find the location of Night Hell Valley.
One hundred thousand mountains and forests are like an endless sea.
Xiao Nuo drove the Snow-winged Eagle through the sky. According to the instructions on the map, Xiao Nuo was still able to determine the direction and his own position.
But as he went deeper, Xiao Nuo soon encountered a problem.
The Snow-winged Eagle broke into a foggy area.
This foggy area was quite dense, and the Snow-winged Eagle flew inside for half an hour without breaking out of this area.
The peaks ahead were also steeper and steeper than the last. The Snow-winged Eagle carried Xiao Nuo through the peaks, and it was like entering a maze formed by heaven and earth, gradually losing its direction.
Xiao Nuo took out the map.
There are detailed markings in the picture. There is often heavy fog blocking the area outside Night Hell Valley. The time when the thick fog recedes is irregular. Even locals can easily get lost in it.
"Bah!"
Perhaps the heavy fog persisted, which made the Snow-winged Eagle begin to panic, and its whistling was also mixed with an element of uneasiness.
Xiao Nuo frowned slightly. With the Snow-Winged Eagle in its current state, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on for long.
If something goes wrong with the other party, then your only mount will be gone.
Immediately, Xiao Nuo controlled the Snow-winged Eagle to descend.
"call!"
The Snow-winged Eagle landed, and Xiao Nuo also jumped to the ground.
What comes into view is a vast
The lush deep forest, shrouded in mist, has only a dozen meters of visibility.
Xiao Nuo placed the Snow-winged Eagle nearby, and then entered the deep forest alone.
Xiao Nuo is not worried about what will happen to the Snow-Winged Eagle. After all, the opponent is a high-level monster with strong combat power.
If you encounter danger, you have a certain ability to escape.
Xiao Nuo left marks along the way while exploring.
The trees in this mountain forest are very tall, and huge vines hang down from above, looking like pythons...
There are many traces of snakes and insects crawling on the ground, and from time to time there are unknown sounds of birds and animals in the distance.
After walking five or six miles forward, the fog in front turned into a strange pink color.
"It's miasma!"
Xiao Nuo was slightly shocked.
In this kind of place, miasma is quite common, and the map Xuan Guili gave himself clearly marked the presence of miasma.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Nuo took out a dust-avoiding talisman.
The talisman was crushed, and a ring-shaped wall of air appeared outside Xiao Nuo.
Under the protection of the air wall, Xiao Nuo continued to move forward.
There are many talismans collected from the old Shelob monster, including offensive talismans such as thunder and fire talismans and explosive talismans.
The pink miasma clung to the outside of the air wall, making Xiao Nuo look like a moving mushroom.
In less than half a moment, Xiao Nuo discovered that the miasma showed signs of penetrating the air wall.
"This miasma is too powerful?" Xiao Nuo said with a frown.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Nuo took out a black robe and put it on himself.
This robe was close to the shape of a hood and had a hood. Once Xiao Nuo put it on, a new layer of water wave shield was added to his body.
The water wave shield is almost transparent. If you observe carefully, you will find a faint ripple in the space around Xiao Nuo.
This black robe is called the "Water Jade Black Robe", and its effect is similar to that of the dust-avoiding talisman, but its defensive resistance against poisonous miasma is several times stronger.
This object is also one of the old monster Shelob's collection.
But now the winner is Xiao Nuo.
Of course, Xiao Nuo's "bronze shield" can actually resist the miasma poison in the jungle, but if you continue to use the bronze shield or bronze armor, it will consume a lot of Xiao Nuo's spiritual power.
<
br> Especially since he has not yet entered the Night Hell Valley, Xiao Nuo should maintain his full state.
Therefore, if props can be borrowed, Xiao Nuo will try his best to use them to ensure that he has enough physical strength to deal with unexpected situations.
As time passed by, Xiao Nuo remained highly vigilant, leaving a mark every few meters away.
Although I have a map with me, in a situation where it is difficult to distinguish between east, west and north, my own mark feels more secure.
After an unknown amount of time, the fog gradually dissipated, and the pink miasma slowly subsided... At the same time, Xiao Nuo walked out of the forest behind, and what appeared in front was a small town...
"This is?"
The corner of Xiao Nuo's eyes trembled slightly. He removed the air wall formed by the dust-avoiding talisman, but did not take off the water jade mysterious robe on his body.
The town is very quiet!
It’s the same as the previous village outside.
It was deathly silent inside. Not only were there no people in sight, there were not even half a living creature in sight.
The structure of the town is quite well planned, antique, with white walls and black tiles, a wide street in the middle, neat houses on both sides, and even a clear river...
Xiao Nuo walked on the road of the town, trying to search for traces of residents.
Suddenly, the sky became dark.
Xiao Nuo looked up and saw a huge dark cloud coming from the front.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain pouring down.
The streets and alleys of the small town quickly became wet.
Xiao Nuo was wearing a water jade mysterious robe, and the rainwater splashing on him was blocked.
A small town in the rain has a unique artistic conception, but because there is no one there, it looks even more weird.
"Wait..." Xiao Nuo suddenly thought of something, turned over his sleeve and took out the map.
His eyes searched carefully on the map. As Xiao Nuo's pupils dilated slightly, he surprisingly discovered that there was no information about this town on the map.
"Did you miss it?"
Xiao Nuo squinted his eyes and felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
But looking at the extremely detailed markings above, it stands to reason that this should not be missed.
However, just when he was focusing on the map, in the rain curtain behind him, a pair of cold eyes quietly stared at Xiao Nuo...
