Chapter 253: Statue from the Lost Land
According to Wang Zihao, it would take him one day and one night to go back, and the height of the purple moon would almost reach yesterday's height.
Although he was able to go back, Xiao Ye felt a little heavy in his heart. This place was really weird. Several people disappeared without any reason, and they were the kind of disappearances that left no trace.
Xiao Ye already believed that there were ghosts, but to professionals or world cultivators, ghosts were just a special existence and posed no threat to them at all.
Xiao Ye would rather encounter a ghost than such an incomprehensible thing.
After five people disappeared, no one had any accidents for such a long time, which made Xiao Ye have to wonder if the five people had satisfied "each other".
"Brother Xiao, you are planning to go out now. There are still some places we haven't seen yet?" Wang Zihao's voice turned cold when he saw Xiao Ye was about to go out.
"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do." Xiao Ye refused immediately.
Just kidding, if you stay in this hellish place any longer, you know what will happen, so you might as well get out early.
"This is not good." Wang Zihao glanced at Xiao Ye and said quietly: "You promised us that you would help."
Xiao Ye's heart sank, and he instantly felt several eyes falling on him. It seemed that if he had any intention of refusing, they would swarm him.
The purpose of these people coming in was to monitor themselves, and their relationship with Wang Zihao was not as simple as imagined.
It was very likely that it was not what Xiao Ye had guessed. The reason why Wang Zihao showed discord with these people was probably to stabilize himself so that he could unlock the secrets of this place.
Emotions are the best way to build relationships, not to mention sadness. If Xiao Ye hadn't noticed that someone was missing mysteriously, it might have been the other person's turn to fall into his trap next time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye couldn't help but wonder if those missing people really disappeared because of this place?
Is it possible that Wang Zihao and others are behind this?
If so, what good would it do them?
"I didn't say that I promised to help you, I just said that I would come in and have a look with you." Xiao Ye said calmly: "Now that I have looked, I found nothing, and I have looked, so why don't you let me go? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhongtian's old voice rang out: "Young man, what do you think this is? You can come and leave whenever you want. What do you think of my Wang family?"
Wang Liuli, who was next to him, said nothing and looked at Xiao Ye expressionlessly, but there was also a coldness in her eyes.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but frown. No matter how stupid he was at this time, he knew that he had fallen into a wolf's den. The other party had no good intentions in the first place.
Fortunately, I still believed in them yesterday.
Xiao Ye sighed, blaming himself for being too simple, too young, and too trusting of people in this world.
"Come with us." After hearing this, Wang Zihao said with a smile: "Don't worry, just take a walk and see a place. If you still can't see anything, we will send you out."
"I believe you are a ghost." Xiao Ye muttered to himself.
The old man showed a murderous intention from the beginning. It was strange that they would let him go. It was estimated that after the incident was over, it would be time to kill him.
"What if I say no?" Xiao Ye took a deep breath.
"What do you think?" Wang Zhongtian said with a smile, with a terrifying murderous intention in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Xiao Ye was "shocked" and quickly spread his hands.
"Very good, I like your attitude of being aware of current affairs." Wang Zhongtian nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go."
The group of people set off again, this time they no longer kept any secrets and walked directly towards the center of the desert.
"It seems like you didn't find anything?" Xiao Ye looked at them and didn't know that their previous statements were all nonsense.
"It's just a small discovery." Wang Zihao said calmly. His look and tone were completely different from yesterday, and he seemed to have completely let go of his disguise.
"I'm very curious about what you will do with me in the end." Xiao Ye asked curiously.
"You are a smart man. I think you have probably guessed it. Since you already know it, why bother asking?" Wang Zihao answered the question.
Xiao Ye shrugged. Just as he thought, they had no intention of letting him go. Now he had only two paths, one was to die now, the other was to die soon.
Unfortunately, things are fickle, and no one knows until the end that they are the final winner.
Wang Zhongtian and Wang Liuli walked in the front, Xiao Ye and Wang Zihao walked in the middle, and the remaining people were at the back.
"Are you afraid that I will run away?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but joke as he saw the others surrounding him.
"That's right." Unexpectedly, Wang Zihao nodded and said seriously: "I am really afraid that you will run away."
"Why bother." Xiao Ye shrugged, looking at his serious look, he guessed: "Has this kind of thing happened before?"
Wang Zihao's face became a little ugly, and Xiao Ye's heart moved. Could it be that he had guessed it right?
If this is true, then it is really interesting. It seems that this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, but why haven't they received any news?
"Is it possible that the person they deceived is already in danger?" This thought came to Xiao Ye's heart. Combined with Wang Zhongtian's murderous intention at the beginning, Xiao Ye had reason to believe that his guess was not wrong.
This is a big deal. I don’t know what will happen if it reaches Shanngling City!
"We're here." Just when Xiao Ye was thinking wildly, Wang Zhongtian, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.
Xiao Ye looked up and was stunned for a moment. He saw something, a statue - a statue of a woman, and Xiao Ye felt that this statue looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
A picture flashed in Xiao Ye's mind:
In a certain base in the Lost Land, four people were besieging a beautiful woman. The woman's body had been stained in many places, and the armor on her body had been dyed red.
"Dai Jingying, just let us go and capture you. Don't resist indifferently. You have been poisoned by us and your strength is less than 30%. How can you be our opponent in this state!" One of the four people said fiercely.
"Despicable!" Dai Jingying said coldly.
"Haha, you become a king or lose a bandit, so what if you are despicable, hand over the city lord's fingerprints, and serve us well from now on, so that you can save your life!" A fat man with a big head and big ears stared at Dai Jingying's graceful body, his eyes full of greed.
"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, you can't even think of succeeding!" Dai Jingying raised her sword to parry the opponent's moves, and said coldly: "My Dai family is not kind to you. I took you in in times of crisis, but I didn't expect to take in a group of people. White-eyed wolf, my father has just passed away, and you can’t hold back anymore.”
…
Xiao Ye thought he would never see this scene again, but unexpectedly he recalled it because of this statue. The statue in front of him was obviously that of Dai Jingying.
Xiao Ye was full of doubts about this person. He had never seen her before, but her tone seemed to be familiar to him. The most important thing was the letter she gave him. If it weren't for that letter , everything that follows will not happen. It is estimated that Xiao Ye is still in Liusu City and doesn't know what he is doing.
"Do you know this person?" Wang Zihao saw Xiao Ye staring at the statue in trance, and he was instantly overjoyed. Did he really find the right person?
"What?" Xiao Ye came to his senses, then shook his head: "Don't you know him?"
"I don't know if you've been staring at me for so long?" Wang Zihao asked.
"Everyone loves beauty. I just marveled at her appearance." Xiao Ye said seriously, his words full of sincerity.
The corner of Wang Zihao's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether what Xiao Ye said was the truth or a lie. The statue was indeed beautiful, but it was just a statue after all. No matter how beautiful she is, she can still compare to people.
"We guess that the secret of this world is hidden in this statue. What you have to do now is to find out this secret." Wang Zhongtian turned around and said to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye took a look at the huge statue of Dai Jingying and didn't feel anything strange. Instead, he saw more than ten corpses under the statue.
These corpses were lying on the ground in a strange posture, with their eyes wide open and bulging, as if they had seen something terrifying.
Their whole bodies were intact, and they had not suffered any injuries. And judging from the condition of their skin, it was obvious that they had not been dead for a long time, at most a few days.
"Is this what you found before?" Xiao Ye said solemnly.
"That's right." Wang Zihao did not hide anything and said directly: "You have only two choices now. One is to find out the secret of the statue, and the other is to die now."
Xiao Ye's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was thinking secretly whether to fight them now. With the existence of Kongling Fox and Snow Soul Squirrel, he was not afraid of these people. The most powerful among them was Wang Zhongtian, a fourth-level world cultivator, Kongling Fox. One person can block them, and Xiao Ye only needs to face the remaining people. With the blessing of the Snow Soul Squirrel, Xiao Ye is not afraid of them.
To be honest, Xiao Ye didn't have much confidence. So far, he didn't have many attack methods at his disposal.
But the way out is in the hands of the other party. If the fish is dead and the net is broken, who knows whether they can still get out.
Wang Zihao and his party did not disturb Xiao Ye and watched him make a choice quietly. They had experienced this scene many times and were already used to it.
"Okay, I'll go." Finally, Xiao Ye made the decision with an ugly face, and slowly approached the statue as if he was going to die.
Wang Zhongtian motioned to the others to step back. They had experimented many times and found that they would die inexplicably when they got close to the statue at a certain distance. Naturally, they would not approach it stupidly.
"Do you think this person can unlock the secret of the statue?" Wang Zhongtian stared at Xiao Ye's back and asked.
