Are those the eyes of the Devil Madonna?
Isn't she dead?
On the street, Chengshuo looked at the eyeballs and hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the plan of flying up to the sky to find out.
He walked all the way to the Ghost Mother Palace Square.
Looking around, as far as the eye can see in the square, there are corpses that are rotten and even infested with maggots.
The ancestors of the Nian family, the ancestors of the Sima family, and Mr. Song, all familiar faces appeared in front of Chengshuo one after another.
Their eyes were wide-eyed, their deaths were miserable, and their faces looked horrified, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they were alive.
besides.
What puzzles Cheng Sheng the most is that the remains of the body of the Devil's Virgin, which originally died due to body disintegration and had been turned into countless fragments, are now inexplicably missing.
The Devil's Holy Mother seems to be really not dead yet...
After discovering this, Cheng Sheng did not dare to stay in the Ghost Mother City for any longer.
He used the "retrieving objects from the air" spell to drag the corpses of familiar people such as the ancestors of the Nian family, the ancestors of the Sima family, Mr. Song, etc., and walked all the way out of the Ghost Mother City.
After passing by the Feisha Gang's station, they went in and took away the bodies of Yuan Hu, Dinong and several other gang members.
Chengshuo dug a big pit outside the Ghost Mother City and buried the bodies of these people in the pit.
During this period, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart:
Did these monks and mortals in the Ghost Mother City die because of him, or did they die because of the Ghost Mother?
There is also the mysteriously missing body of the Ghost Mother City, and the eyeballs formed by clouds above the Ghost Mother City...
Thinking of the above, coupled with the past in Shenshu Village more than a year ago, Cheng Sheng suddenly felt that everything around him felt unreal.
This made him feel a little confused:
Am I a human or a demon?
Are all the strange phenomena happening around me because there is something wrong with me, or is this world inherently abnormal?
…
Chengshuo flew to high altitude by the 'auspicious cloud' instrument.
He flew from east to west along the official road outside the city, and soon he arrived above Xuantian Sect.
Since Patriarch Huyan died more than a year ago, to this day, the entire Xuantian Sect has been empty of people.
In the Xuantian Sect's martial arts arena, only a few corpses could be seen scattered on the ground, but not a single human figure could be seen.
From the tattered clothes of the corpses, it can be barely determined that they were disciples of Xuantian Sect during their lifetime.
Cheng Sheng flew over the martial arts arena and arrived at the entrance to the secret realm where Patriarch Huyan retreated, with a tangled look on his face.
I don’t know what is happening to Qin Zhenzhen in this secret realm now...
Chengshuo wanted to enter the secret realm and explore, but he was worried about encountering danger during the exploration.
Out of caution, he simply gave up the idea.
At the foot of the mountain gate of Xuantian Sect is Shenshu Village.
When Chengshuo flew back to the village, he saw that the huge sacred tree in the open space in the center of the village had been uprooted by someone unknown.
The Tao fruit on the sacred tree has disappeared.
I don’t know if it rotted or was picked off...
Chenghuo stood beside the sacred tree in a daze for a while.
After a while, he waved his right hand lightly and used the 'retrieval of objects from the air' spell to straighten the sacred tree and bury its roots into the soil again.
After doing all this, he looked around and saw that his friend Tieniu was nowhere to be seen, so he took off on the clouds and continued flying westward along the official road.
It flew like this for about an hour.
en route.
Seeing a village below, in which villagers could still be vaguely seen doing farm work, Chengsheng descended to the sky above the village.
"There are gods, there are gods!"
In an unknown village.
Seeing Chenghuo descending from the sky on a cloud, a villager exclaimed: "Come over and see, there is a god flying over from the sky!"
His shout immediately attracted the attention of the other villagers in the village.
Everyone gathered directly below Chengshuo, kneeling and kowtow.
"Immortal, please protect me and cure my eye disease!"
"Immortal! Please accept me as your disciple!"
On the 'Xiangyun' instrument.
Chengshuo looked at the villagers with an indifferent expression, his eyes looking thoughtful.
I don't know what caused it.
——The villagers in this unknown village all had the same symptoms as the villagers in Shenshu Village.
It's like it's been contaminated in some way.
The faces of the villagers were so blurred that their facial features could not be clearly seen, leaving only a pair of empty, lifeless eyes.
There were no pupils in those eyes that normal people should have.
Some of the villagers were emaciated and less human-like. Their eye sockets were sunken and their eyeballs became bulging due to swelling.
Other villagers are just the opposite.
Their bodies were so bloated that they were not human-like, and their eyes were covered with countless bumpy tumors.
Compared with the villagers of Shenshu Village, these villagers are even more mutated.
In other words, in comparison, some unknown pollution suffered by these villagers is more serious...
In order to protect himself, Chengshuo did not communicate with the villagers below, but just stood on the 'auspicious cloud' and watched silently.
In the village.
The villagers knelt and kowtowed for a long time. Seeing that Chengshuo still didn't give any response, they all stood up in an instant.
Their movements were neat and strange.
After all the villagers stood up, they all looked at Chengshuo with undisguised resentment and hatred in their eyes without saying a word.
Cheng Sheng was stared at by all the villagers and his heart pounded, so he hurriedly flew away from the village in the clouds.
After leaving the nameless village, he continued westward along the official road, and encountered several mortal villages one after another along the way.
——Like the first village I met, the villagers in these villages have also been affected by unknown pollution to a greater or lesser extent, resulting in mutations.
And the closer to the villages in the west, the more serious the pollution and mutation are to the villagers.
In this way, Cheng Huo was traveling and practicing at the same time, and more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye...
…
Thirteen days later.
Over an unknown human city.
Chengshuo stepped on the auspicious clouds and landed on the ground from high in the sky.
He looked around and saw that the city had been reduced to countless ruined buildings, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
Thirteen days...
Since leaving the nameless village, Chengsheng has been flying westward for a full thirteen days.
At first, he could also see some mortal villages with 'abnormal people'.
Just like the Sacred Tree Village or the Nameless Village.
Later, as the survival flight distance became farther and farther, the villages with "living people" gradually became fewer and fewer.
Occasionally, I saw one or two large-scale human cities, and most of the buildings inside them had been reduced to ruins, with no human beings visible in the ruins.
It was as if these cities had been ravaged by some unknown giant beast.
And the further west you go, the more serious the damage to the city becomes.
For example, Cheng Sheng is in the city where he is now... Not to mention living people, even a complete house may not be found in this city.
Apparently.
In the west of this world, there is likely to be something that is capable of destroying human civilization, and even the monks cannot fight against it.
The west side is dangerous.
We can't go any further west....
After realizing this, Chenghuo planned to fly eastward on the clouds, as far away from this large 'polluted area' as possible.
'Woo....'
Among the ruins of the Nameless City, Cheng Huo was about to fly into the sky with the clouds when he suddenly heard a strange roar coming from the west.
He heard the sound and looked.
Far away, high in the sky.
A huge whale the size of a human city, covered with tentacles, was slowly 'swimming' in the air.
During the swimming process, whales will also make unique calls from time to time.
Its sound is quiet and distant, shocking people's hearts.
