Cairu frowned and whispered, "Actually, when we arrived, the two families had completely disappeared. I heard from people next to them that they encountered an accident in their sleep, but no one saw the bodies.
It was transported away by someone."
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said, "There is no body, and nothing can be determined just by the mouth of a passerby."
"Master, what you are saying is that it is possible that these two families are not dead?"
She wasn't sure about this either.
However, even if he is not dead, the situation is definitely not good.
After all, this is the Baili family's warning to people like them.
"Send people to continue the investigation and strengthen the protection of other people."
"yes."
Cairu stepped back and Lin Mengya looked outside the carriage.
In the evening, they will be able to reach the Liuhe town mentioned in the letter.
I'm afraid, there's still a lot of trouble left.
Even more revealing, a group of people are walking around in a splendid way.
Liuhe Town is not big or famous.
But in this quiet night, the dark streets can't help but make people feel uneasy.
Lin Mengya's carriage was driving at the front.
As soon as she entered the town, she stopped the carriage driver and got off the carriage accompanied by Bai Su and Cai Ru.
"Master, something seems not quite right here."
Bai Su looked around cautiously and protected her behind him.
Lin Mengya nodded silently and looked at everything around her.
It's too quiet here.
And there is a lifeless smell in the air.
It was like an ancient tomb that had been silent for many years, and suddenly the door was opened, waiting for the sacrifices to be delivered to the door.
This feeling made her feel a deep chill coming from the cracks in her bones.
"What's going on here?"
"No one around?"
Later, people from the Poison Sect arrived one after another.
Even the dullest person has discovered the anomaly here.
Lin Mengya asked everyone to calm down first, and then gathered everyone in the open space in the middle of the town.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since they want us to come here, they must have their purpose."
I have to say that in such a strange atmosphere, her calm manner in the face of danger actually gave these people some support.
She selected some young men who were relatively strong and could at least protect themselves, and then divided them into four teams.
He also asked the guards of the Gong family to mix with them and go to the town first to explore the way.
However, she was not idle either.
Putting the system's detection function to the highest value and closing her eyes, she looked like she was resting temporarily, but she
Discovered a surprising fact.
"Go get them back."
Lin Mengya whispered to Cairu, but her heart felt slightly cold.
If nothing else happens, there should be no one alive in the town.
What does a town without living people have to do with a tomb? What's the difference?
Cairu walked aside and used a special way to communicate with the guards who were leaving.
Soon, the people who went out to explore the road came back one after another.
However, there is still one last team left.
"What's going on? Where are they?"
Lin Mengya asked with a frown.
There is something weird everywhere here, and the Baili family led them here, obviously out of good intentions.
Still running around now is simply looking for death.
Cairu contacted him again, but this time, there was no response from the other party.
"Master, are they out of town?"
Lin Mengya frowned even more after hearing this.
She didn't know about others, but the palace guards would never ignore her order and leave the town first.
I'm just afraid that something unexpected happened.
"Let's wait."
About half an hour later, someone finally stumbled over from the darkness holding a torch.
"Help, help me!"
The man fell to the ground, and people immediately surrounded him.
Only then did they see that the man was covered in blood and half of his arm was missing.
The man's tragic situation caused a commotion.
Lin Mengya immediately stepped forward to stop the man's bleeding and treat it. When she checked the wound, she found that the man's severed hand looked like something had bitten it off.
Judging from the traces of the wound, it looks like human teeth!
Lin Mengya couldn't help but get goosebumps at the thought of someone actually biting her own kind.
The man lost too much blood and couldn't wake up for a while.
She returned to her fire, clearly feeling the atmosphere and tensing up.
The man walked to her side silently, and a large cloak, still carrying his body temperature, fell on her back.
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at the other party.
"I want to see it for myself."
She clutched the cloak, her fingertips feeling slightly cold.
Long Tianyu just looked at her steadily and said softly, "I'll go with you."
"Um."
Lin Mengya didn't hide it from them.
Although on the surface, these people temporarily regarded her as the leader, in fact, few people truly recognized her status.
She didn't want to push innocent people to die.
After all, everyone is forced to get involved in such incidents.
What's more, for some things, if there are too many people, it will be a drag.
The teacher and the uncle didn't agree with each other.
In the end, she was allowed to stay on the grounds of appeasing everyone.
Long Tianyu always stood behind her.
Her cold star-like eyes moved with her body shape.
Bai Lirui and Wu Chao suddenly felt that they seemed a bit redundant.
Under their various instructions, the two of them took more than a dozen guards and headed in the direction where the last team disappeared.
The town is eerily quiet.
Even their footsteps could be clearly heard echoing.
Lin Mengya observed her surroundings.
Judging from the situation here, no one has come to Liuhe Town for at least half a year.
What secrets does such a seemingly isolated town hide?
After successfully passing through the streets of the town, they came to the edge of a forest.
The wind passed through the branches, and the bare branches were like ghosts, swaying in the wind.
This kind of atmosphere is perfect for filming a horror movie.
A group of people walked in, and she seemed to hear someone's voice in the woods.
The source of the sound came from deep in the forest.
"Be careful of fraud!"
Long Tianyu also heard it, so he opened his mouth to warn everyone.
Then, he held her hand tightly and walked inside little by little under the protection of everyone.
Not far away, they saw several lights.
It looked like they were surrounded by something.
Long Tianyu suddenly stopped and gestured to the person behind him.
Almost instantly, the guards climbed up the surrounding trees as lightly as swallows.
The two of them were left alone.
Then, Long Tianyu raised his hand, and she was carried behind him.
"hold me."
Subconsciously, she did as he said.
Then, the man carried her steadily on his back and climbed to the largest tree in the surrounding area.
Not long after they climbed up, several figures arrived at the place where they were standing.
Because they were the last to go up, they were not far from the ground at this time.
She could see clearly.
The person standing there, constantly looking to the side, turned out to be a human!
But their behavior is not like normal people.
On the contrary, it looks like a person transformed into a beast.
Long Tianyu was not slow in his movements and could climb to the highest point even if he was carrying her on his back.
All around, the guards were staring down with vigilance.
After checking to no avail, those few people had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
"You saw it too, right?"
She bit Long Tianyu's ear and asked softly.
Little did he know that the warm and fragrant smell almost made the man weak.
After calming down a little, Long Tianyu nodded and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember those people wearing animal skins when the beast tide attacked the fairy city?"
Of course she remembers.
Also, I felt nauseous for quite a while.
Could it be that these just now , the same as what she encountered before?
But soon, Long Tianyu relieved her doubts.
"They should be different. The 'beasts' in Fairy City have had their bodies modified since they were young, and then fed with real beasts. But these people should not be that thorough yet."
The various methods used in the fairy city are enough to scare even her.
She immediately thought of the bitten person.
"In other words, the person just now was also injured by them?"
Long Tianyu nodded, I'm afraid so.
The reason why he asked everyone to climb up the tree first was because these people were no longer ordinary people.
They possess a keenness that is comparable to that of beasts, and they do not know what is unusual about these people.
Lin Mengya hung on his back and stared carefully not far ahead.
Like the beasts, these people seem to be afraid of fire.
Because the number of torches did not seem to decrease, it meant that the people inside could still hold on for the time being.
"Since they are afraid of fire, why not use fire to drive them away?"
Long Tianyu nodded, and he had the same idea.
Lowering his voice, he spoke to the guards around him.
Afterwards, the crackling sound of branches being broken was heard endlessly.
Soon, people attracted by the sound formed a circle under the big tree.
They kept shaking the tree trunk, seeming a little anxious.
But the palace guards are all good players, and under such conditions, they still stick to the tree trunk firmly.
Just when those people couldn't help but want to climb the tree, the sky was filled with flames and suddenly fell.
Then, she heard several screams of fear.
The guards set fire to the dry branches and threw them down.
Those people below were instantly frightened away.
Soon, the surrounding area was cleared.
Everyone fell to the ground one after another, but in their hands, they all held a bundle of dry firewood and burning branches.
"Walk!"
Long Tianyu carried her on his back and took the lead.
The guard behind him remained calm, but the firewood in his hand was like an arrow, cutting off all those who tried to get close.
Lin Mengya was a little puzzled.
These people are all members of their own family, so how come they cooperate so well with their own men?
But it only lasted a moment. After that, she saw the scene in front of her.
It's like purgatory.
"Someone is coming to save us!"
Among the besieged people, some people recognized their companions.
With the dry firewood in their hands, they successfully opened a gap and rushed to the remaining people.
But on the outside, there were dozens of broken corpses lying on the ground.
On the corpse, many people gathered, biting and gnawing at it.
This scene, amidst the bloodshed, reveals a different kind of weirdness.
