Chapter 489 Red Lantern
Chapter 489 Red Lantern
Walking on the streets of the city, surrounded by skeletons, everyone had to be careful and try to avoid touching those skeletons.
Many people felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts. They never thought that one day they would walk among a group of skeletons, and they had to be careful not to let these skeletons notice their abnormality, and to treat these skeletons as a How absurd is this for a person who is still alive?
I really hope this is a nightmare.
In this atmosphere, Xue Yaxian unconsciously lowered her voice: “We are heading directly towards the center of the city this time. I looked before entering the city. There seems to be a very large palace complex over there. I think it is Where the most distinguished people in this city live, there will probably be some valuable clues there.”
Others nodded slightly, Yao Meizhen murmured: “However, if we find something valuable on the road, we can stop to check it out, maybe there will be unexpected gains. Hey, what is that?”
She suddenly raised her finger and pointed to an alley on the left, her eyes were full of surprise. Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a red lantern hanging at the entrance of that alley. Inside the lantern was a pair of scarlet eyes silently. Watching them, seeing everyone looking at them at this time, the red lantern suddenly retreated into the darkness deep in the alley as if fleeing, and disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other, and someone tentatively said, “Let’s… want to catch up and take a look? That lantern seems to be a little different from the surrounding skeletons. Even if it didn’t violate the taboo, it could still detect the existence of us and watch us. every move.”
Di Wenyi said decisively: “Don’t chase! Since that thing didn’t take the initiative to provoke us, but hid in the dark and peeped, it means that it is not harmful to us for the time being. In this case, we simply pretend that it doesn’t exist and continue on our way!”
Since coming to this city, Di Wenyi, who seems to be the most carefree and hot-tempered among the crowd, seems to be more cautious than anyone else. At this time, he also made a very rational judgment, which surprised Bai Mufan , Feeling in my heart, it is not advisable to judge a person by appearance and temperament.
Xue Yaxian nodded in agreement, and said: “That’s right, in this kind of weird place, we should not only pay attention to any movement around us, but also try our best to restrain our curiosity, no matter what that thing is, whether it is alive or Dead, as long as it doesn’t show a threat to us, we don’t care about it.”
Everyone continued on the road, not long after, the feeling of being spied on came, and it was stronger than before!
All those present were warriors with good strength, and they immediately followed the induction to look over, and they couldn’t help being surprised.
In the depths of the alleys near the street and in the dark corners of the surrounding shops, pairs of blood-red eyes silently stared at them. It was red lanterns that were either hanging or floating in the air. When I looked over, these red lanterns once again escaped into the darkness and disappeared.
Xue Yaxian’s face was ugly, she gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t worry about those things, let’s keep going!”
Everyone continued on the road, but their expressions were obviously not as calm as they were at the beginning. Everyone became a little suspicious. Every time they passed an alley or the shops on both sides, they couldn’t help but glance inside, worried that they would see a pair of The eyes are also watching him, and he will breathe a sigh of relief when he finds nothing.
However, in less than two minutes, the feeling of peeping appeared again, and it was stronger than last time. Everyone hurriedly looked around, feeling their scalps tingle.
In the alleys, in the corners of shops, even on the roofs of houses, in the gutters at the corners of the streets, etc… Pairs of blood-red eyes emerged, looking straight at them, with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.
This time is the same as last time. The moment they realized it, these lines of sight disappeared one after another, and the sense of peeping also disappeared, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
However, this phenomenon keeps appearing again and again, coupled with the strange scene full of skeletons in this city, it brings a very strong sense of oppression to everyone, those strange eyes watching them from hiding in the red lantern, followed by With the increasing number of occurrences, although they have not shown any aggressiveness or danger for the time being, they just look at them and then run away when they are noticed, but who can be sure that those ghosts will never attack them ?
Xue Yaxian also felt something was wrong. Although these things were watching them all the time, they seemed to be increasing the pressure and approaching again and again. It was not good if it went on like this, so she hurriedly said: “Let’s speed up our pace and leave this street quickly.” !”
Everyone rushed forward in a hurry, but they had to avoid the skeletons on the road, and the speed could not be fully increased. Fortunately, until they completely walked out of this street, everyone never felt that sense of peeping again. It seemed that those ghosts hiding in the dark corners had given up and continued to follow them.
A disciple of Tianhuai Castle heaved a sigh of relief, and said happily: “It seems that those ghosts have been thrown away.”
“Yes.” The companion next to her echoed, turned her head and glanced at her casually, then uttered a scream, and backed away in fright: “Xiao Yue, you…your head!”
The Tianhuaibao disciple named Xiao Yue was also taken aback. He quickly touched his face and found that his face was still in good shape. He couldn’t help but bewildered: “What’s wrong with my face? It’s obviously fine!”
She looked around at her fellow apprentices, as if she wanted to be certified, but she found that everyone was looking away from her in horror, looking at her with eyes that looked like death, and she couldn’t help but panicked.
Bai Mufan heard the movement and looked over, seeing Xiao Yue’s face, couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
That Xiao Yue’s head disappeared, and what was hanging around her neck at the moment was actually a red lantern! It was exactly the same as those red lanterns that were watching them just now!
What’s even weirder is… on the red lantern, her facial features are completely reflected, her eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc. are all in good condition!
At this moment, the owner of that face was also looking at them in horror, and kept touching her face with both hands, as if confirming something, but it seemed that she herself did not realize that her head had been replaced , I thought I was still in good shape!
At this time, more screams sounded one after another, and more and more people found that the heads of the companions around them had been switched at some point, with red lanterns hanging around their necks, and some were even frightened. Instinctively drew out his weapon and launched an attack, the latter didn’t stand still, and fought back vigorously!
