Without the hindrance of poisonous gas, Yi Liuling's footsteps became more brisk, and he soon crossed the forest belt and came to a village.
"Wow, Brother Ling, there is actually a village here?" Yousheng exclaimed after receiving the visual image sent to it by Yi Liuling, "How do the people here usually live? They can only go out for shopping once every three months. Food?"
"First of all, why can't they grow their own vegetables?" Yi Liuling felt that Yousheng's focus was stranger than hers, and complained, "Besides, this place has obviously been uninhabited for a long time, right?"
With that said, Yi Liuling slowly walked into the village.
Most of the houses in this village are made of wood. They were probably built by the people who originally lived here by cutting down the trees in the forest. Judging from the workmanship, the skills of the people who built the houses are also quite rough. They only care about how one can live in them.
Yi Liuling walked to a wooden house and looked at the wall carefully. The wood looked very old, and she could smell a rotten smell if she got closer. Logically speaking, there are no traces of magic on it, which means that these houses are not protected by magic. So judging from the state of the wood, these houses should have collapsed long ago.
Since there is no magic on the house and such a situation occurs, it can only mean that the space where this village is located is a special secret realm, or there is some kind of sealed barrier here.
Yi Liuling continued walking inside and soon found a small house at the edge of the village. Judging from the appearance and layout, it was not very different from the other houses. However, through the gap in the fence of this house, we can see that there is a patch of blooming flowers planted in the yard of this family. On weekdays, people will feel that the pleasing blue flowers are in sharp contrast with the desolate and monotonous scenery around them. On the contrary, It seems a little weird.
"Brother Ling, you are right, there must be a barrier here." Yousheng exclaimed, "How can there be noon orchids in full bloom at this point now?"
Yi Liuling withdrew her gaze and checked the map again, confirming that this house was where Jiubian mentioned, and it was probably her former home. In this case, does Jiubing have anything to do with the boundary of this place?
"I hope it won't be the same routine where I take something and open the seal." Yi Liuling sighed secretly.
The courtyard door here is connected to the pillars with metal buckles, and the metal has rusted to death. Yi Liuling did not dare to touch the courtyard door directly. Instead, she took out her short knife from the ring and poked it gently to make sure that the courtyard door could not be pushed.
He didn't want to violently destroy the building, so he chose to climb into the yard through the shorter fence, and landed on the dirt next to Noon Orchid. Although he tried his best to be careful, he still inevitably rubbed the only merged bud. The petals trembled, and the dead Pier bee fell out of it.
Yi Liuling's eyes were attracted by the little insect. He squatted down and continued to turn the Pier bee over with a short knife, and found that it was as shriveled as a specimen. Although this place has been here for so many years, it is normal for a dead monster to be dried, but the bud that wrapped it is still as fresh as if it has just grown. It makes no sense that the sealing barrier is only leaking. past it.
So Yi Liuling came to another conclusion: In addition to a seal once produced in this place, there should have been a magic that robbed life force, and this is how this Pier bee died.
Why does it feel like it’s getting more and more dangerous? Yi Liuling swallowed and hesitated for a moment, but after all, it was something he had promised himself, so he decided to continue walking in.
Soon, Yi Liuling walked to the back of the house and saw a tree.
According to Jiubian's description, there is a locust tree growing behind her yard. She also said that when she was a child, she liked to eat snacks made from locust nectar. However, the locust tree in front of Yi Liuling had long since died, and its trunk also showed a strange and twisted shape. A strange fork appeared on the top of the tree, with canine-like protrusions on it, which looked like A giant snake coiled up and opening its mouth to the sky.
There were three empty beehives placed on the trunk of the locust tree, but Yi Liuling did not think this was related to the Pierre bee in the front yard. The latter did not produce honey and there was no need to breed it. Therefore, Yi Liuling is more likely to have another kind of bees here, but they should have all left before the barrier seal appeared.
Otherwise, they should be like the Pier bee, leaving behind a lifeless but well-preserved corpse.
What Jiu Bing said was buried at the root of the tree, but what Yi Liuling didn't expect was that the "buried a bit deep" Jiu Bing said would be so deep.
"I dug it, I dug it!" After a long excavation operation, Yousheng retracted the vines that turned into digging plants and fished out an iron box from inside, "Is this it?"
Yi Liuling wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he did not dig it himself, he still provided the magic power for Yousheng's transformation and movement, so it was not easy.
But fortunately, he finally got the thing, and his mission was completed now, because there was a lock on the box, and Jiubian didn't ask him to open it, so he just took it back. It seems that this time it went really smoothly. Firstly, there were no obstacles. Secondly, the iron box seemed to have nothing to do with the boundary of this place.
With this thought in mind, Yi Liuling walked back to the yard. When he was about to climb over the fence, he suddenly paused - through the gap in the fence, he saw a white figure outside.
He was really afraid that something would come to him, so Yi Liuling could no longer go out by climbing over the railing, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the unknown thing outside during the process.
"Teacher Jiubian, I'm sorry." Yi Liuling apologized secretly in her heart and kicked open the courtyard door.
"Ouch!" The courtyard door fell straight down, and something seemed to be hit in the middle. He let out a scream, and then slowly fell to the ground, revealing the man who had been hit on the head and took a few steps back.
"Ah, it's you." Yi Liuling recognized the person and looked puzzled, "Why are you here? Don't you have to be summoned to show up?"
The man in front of him was wearing a suit with leg rings, holding a cane, and had a slicked back hair. He was tall and had a strange aura that was both serious and improper. At this time, his free hand took off the monocle from his face and was rubbing the hit forehead with the heel of his palm.
If this isn't the Mr. Destiny I saw in Tuiqun County before, who is he?
No way? Did Nine Pies really hit the mark? Have you been targeted by that bell?
While Yi Liuling had a bunch of thoughts in his mind, Mr. Destiny had rearranged his appearance and said to him with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I have a day off today."
