As soon as I stepped into the house, the scene in front of me was not dim at all, but bright, because there were several lights on in the house, emitting bright light.
This lamp has been burning for an unknown number of years. Not only has it not been extinguished, but it has also emitted a dazzling light, and it seems that it can burn for an extremely long period of time.
This made Ye Chu and others' eyes narrowed slightly, and their expressions changed subtly. Especially Ye Chu's pupils shrank obviously.
Because Ye Chu clearly noticed a very faint power of time in those lights. Although it did not form a treasure of time, the fact that the lights could burn for a long time was obviously related to that power of time.
Without thinking too much, Ye Chu and others quickly scanned the room.
Like the furnishings outside, the things in this house are also simple. It's also hard to tell how long it has been without anyone living here. Everything looks like new.
But compared to the chessboard and other objects outside, this room seemed ordinary, and nothing could catch the eye of Ye Chu and other peak demons.
After scanning around, the purple ice demon took the lead and said, "Have you noticed anything? If not, I'll go to the next house."
Everyone nodded. Of course, when they left, they did not let go of the lights. Fortunately, the number of lights was enough for everyone to share, so everyone took one and left the house.
There are a total of three houses in this courtyard. The house in the middle that Ye Chu just broke open was a place similar to a hall, so he did not find anything precious.
As for the other two rooms, the one with smoke from the kitchen was obviously a kitchen or even a place for refining weapons and elixirs, while the other one, Ye Chu and others estimated, was where the owner of the courtyard lived.
So the next target, Ye Chu and others directly targeted this house to see what secrets it contained.
The five people activated the formula together, and the Five Elements Forbidden Breaking Technique was activated. The restrictions on the door of the house were flickering violently, and it was obvious that they were gradually being cracked by Ye Chu and others.
After a while, the barricade on the door of the house exploded, revealing the unprotected door. This time, it was the Bone-burning Demon who pushed the door open again.
However, at this moment, Ye Chu and others were also approaching the Bone-Burning Demon. While they were on guard, they were also nervously looking inside the house, wanting to know what was hidden in it as soon as possible.
"Click!"
The wooden door was opened, but it was dark inside. There was no brightly lit scene like the hall before.
At the same time, there was a fishy smell in the house, mixed with an extremely weird smell.
In an instant, the expressions of Ye Chu and others changed slightly. They all held their breath subconsciously, and at the same time, their expressions became alert, and their eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that they were using some means to explore the situation in the dim house.
It's just that there are no restrictions or other strange things in this house, which makes Ye Chu and others' methods ineffective, and they can only see vaguely.
When Ye Chu saw this, he immediately took out the lamp he had just obtained. It was an oil lamp no bigger than a palm. It was made of bronze and burned with grease of unknown fuel. Although it had dried up and bottomed out, the flame was always there.
Burning, very strange.
The moment Ye Chu took out the downlight, the bright light immediately dispersed the boundless darkness and shone into the dark house.
Seeing this, Kegu and others followed suit one after another, taking out their own copper lamps and immediately illuminating the house.
"hiss!"
After seeing the situation in the house, the red-faced devil and others took a deep breath, goosebumps appeared all over their bodies, and a cold air came out involuntarily.
The situation inside this house is completely different from the previous one, like two houses from different eras.
I saw that in the place illuminated by the lights, the floor was riddled with holes, and there were pieces of pale bones on it. Because they were so broken, it was impossible to tell whether they were human or monster bones.
In addition, there are some bright spots on the floor, which are the result of being dyed red by blood, and there is even a trace of heat steaming in them, as if they were freshly spilled blood.
But in fact, there is no trace of life in this house. This is enough to show that the pool of blood was spilled here before, but there is still some substance left, making it immortal after a long time.
Looking along the source of the blood, there was a skeleton sitting on the wall not far away, and the blood was flowing from its body.
It's just that although the blood is still hot, the skeleton has long lost its flesh and blood, leaving only a pale skeleton, which looks particularly weird.
Ye Chu and others did not focus on the skeleton, but on the dark spear in front of the skeleton.
Although the spear did not emit the slightest breath, when their eyes fell on the spear, everyone inexplicably sensed a faint threat in their hearts.
This naturally attracted the attention of Ye Chu and others.
In addition, this spear was obviously the cause of the death of the skeleton, because the spear just pierced the chest of the skeleton.
Ye Chu and others moved slowly towards the spear, but when they were still a few feet away from the spear, a sudden change occurred.
The spear seemed to be aware of the actions of Ye Chu and others, and it trembled on its own, and then an inexplicable aura was released.
This incident immediately caused Ye Chu and others' expressions to change, and their demonic auras surged, and they were on alert to prevent the spear from suddenly coming.
However, the unexpected change did not appear. Instead, the inexplicable pressure that had weakened a lot since entering the courtyard suddenly came.
The pressure was so strong that it far exceeded what Ye Chu and others had endured before. It increased by an unknown number of times, and it actually locked Ye Chu and others in place!
It was also at this moment that the spear suddenly squeaked, and with a flicker of its body, the spear left the skeleton and appeared in mid-air.
Then in the next moment, the spear tip turned, pointed directly at the roof, and with a shudder turned into a jet-black stream of light rising into the sky and disappearing from where it was.
Even though the house was guarded by an extremely strong restraint, under this spear, it was like paper, with a large hole opened directly, without any protective effect.
It was also at this time that Ye Chu and the others' bodies became lighter, and the inexplicable pressure that had descended on them also disappeared along with the disappearance of the spear.
This series of changes happened in just a breath, making Ye Chu and others' minds spin, but they couldn't figure out why.
However, it can be seen that the concentration in everyone's eyes is even stronger. Regardless of the reasons for these changes, it is enough to show that this mountain is more terrifying than Ye Chu imagined.
"Crack!"
A sudden sound disrupted everyone's thoughts, but the skeleton suddenly collapsed and could not maintain its previous shape.
It seemed that the remaining energy dissipated as the spear left and could not maintain its state. Even the bright red blood solidified and decayed quickly.
The severity of this scene on Ye Chu and others made Ye Chu and others even more surprised, and made them feel even more mysterious about this mountain peak.
Fortunately, Ye Chu and others had already expected it. Although it was a bit unexpected, they were able to accept it quickly and it would not affect everyone's fighting spirit and subsequent itinerary.
At that moment, Ye Chu and others quickly scanned the dilapidated house and found that except for the spear, although the other objects were a bit strange, they did not have much mystery.
Finally, the eyes of Ye Chu and others fell on a corner of the house, where there was a broken wooden shelf with several shabby books placed on it.
Seeing this bookshelf, everyone was shocked and moved one after another, carefully taking out a book and checking it out.
After just reading for a while, everyone's brows wrinkled slightly. It was obvious that the content in the book did not match what everyone expected.
It turned out to be just an ordinary book with no description of this mountain peak.
Everyone left disappointed. Just when Ye Chu was about to leave, he suddenly saw a book under the bookshelf from the corner of his eye. He immediately said:
"Wait a minute, there seems to be another book here."
Everyone looked back and saw that Ye Chu had already held the book in his hands. It was a book with only a few pages, and more than half of it was broken.
