Chapter 1058 Terrifying Village

 

“Boss, just as you thought, this village seems to be abandoned,” Su Changge said.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This village gave him a very strange feeling.

After thinking for a moment, he released his divine consciousness.

But just then, his divine consciousness seemed to encounter a wall, blocking it outside, unable to penetrate through.

“This village has some kind of will,” Fang Yu thought, his eyes flickering.

After standing still and pondering for a moment, Fang Yu walked into the village.

Su Changge followed behind, entering together.

The outskirts of this village had wooden fences, but they were already very dilapidated, with pieces missing here and there.

After entering the village, there were many single-story houses built with stacked stones.

The environment was extremely quiet, with only the footsteps of Fang Yu and Su Changge breaking the silence.

“Kitchen God Temple… all these houses look the same, how do we know which one is the Kitchen God Temple?” Su Changge frowned.

Fang Yu didn’t speak, but walked toward the nearest house.

“Boss, I don’t think the Kitchen God Temple would be located at the village entrance…” Su Changge said.

Fang Yu walked up to the single-story house, where the door was slightly ajar.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu pushed open the wooden door.

“Creeak…”

With a light sound, the wooden door opened.

The interior of the house was extremely dim, and nothing could be seen clearly.

“Why is it so much darker than outside?” Su Changge muttered.

By this time, Fang Yu had already stepped into the house.

Su Changge followed him inside.

But inside the house, it was basically pitch black.

Fang Yu raised his right hand and condensed a ball of light using his true energy.

The light immediately illuminated the situation inside the house.

“Damn!”

Su Changge turned his head and let out a startled cry.

To his left, there was a wooden table.

And at the table sat three people.

They appeared to be a couple and a boy.

The three remained motionless, still maintaining their eating postures.

On the wooden table were two dishes, but the food had long since turned to mold, making it impossible to tell what they were.

But these three people, apart from being motionless and lifeless, showed no other abnormalities.

Their expressions, skin, even their gazes… were all in a state of stillness.

“Boss, what’s going on here?” Su Changge asked, stepping back.

Fang Yu looked at the three corpses, his brow furrowing.

These three were definitely dead… but their bodies maintained the normal sitting posture of eating, and even their expressions were relaxed, as if they were still chatting and laughing.

So how did they die?

Any killing method would make it difficult for people to maintain such expressions in death.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, walked out of the house, and headed toward another single-story house ahead.

Su Changge remained in the original house, looking at the family of three sitting quietly at the table, feeling a chill down his spine, and quickly turned to leave.

Arriving at the second house, it was just as Fang Yu had expected.

This house had only one old man, sitting on a stool inside the house, holding a bowl in his hand and a pair of chopsticks.

He had also died while eating.

Next, Fang Yu entered three more houses in succession, and the situation was the same.

The people in these houses had all died suddenly while doing something, their bodies instantly stiffening, maintaining their original postures.

The time of death was probably during lunch or dinner.

Entering the fifth house, Fang Yu extended his right hand toward the dead person in front of him.

The moment his true energy entered the dead person’s body, Fang Yu was stunned.

Blood flowing normally, heart still beating… this was clearly a living person!

If so, why was he motionless, why was there no breathing or signs of life?

Fang Yu frowned and released his divine consciousness.

But the moment his divine consciousness was released, the motionless person’s eyeballs suddenly began to move, looking up at Fang Yu.

He suddenly grinned, revealing an eerie smile.

Under the illumination of Fang Yu’s light ball, this scene was extremely horrifying.

Su Changge was frightened and let out a strange cry, retreating backward.

Meanwhile, the former ‘dead person’ suddenly reached out, trying to grab Fang Yu’s throat.

But before he could complete the action, Fang Yu’s knee was already against his face.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, the person flew backward, denting the wall behind him.

Fang Yu didn’t use too much force in this strike, as he still wanted to get some information from this person.

Fang Yu walked forward and grabbed the man.

At this point, the man’s entire face was caved in, with thick black liquid flowing from his mouth.

But he was still grinning.

“Who are you people?” Fang Yu asked.

The man didn’t speak, but made strange sounds from his throat.

It seemed like laughter, yet also like crying, making it very uncomfortable to hear.

Fang Yu frowned, about to continue questioning.

“B-Boss…” At this moment, Su Changge, who was outside the house, let out a terrified voice.

Fang Yu grabbed the man and walked out of the house.

Following Su Changge’s line of sight, he could see that a large group of people had gathered in front of the house.

These people… were the villagers who had been rigid and motionless in their homes!

They stared directly at Fang Yu, grinning, with the same horrifying smile on their faces.

Not to mention the cold aura, just the uniform smiles made Su Changge feel uncomfortable all over, his hair standing on end.

Fang Yu held the man in his hand, looked at the villagers in front of him, and said, “You’ve come at the right time. Tell me who you are, and also tell me the location of the Kitchen God Temple.”

“Otherwise, I’ll slaughter you all.”

After these words were spoken, there was still dead silence around.

The villagers in front maintained their smiles, staring intently at Fang Yu and Su Changge.

Fang Yu frowned.

“Hee hee hee…”

At this moment, the man being held by Fang Yu seemed to let out a laugh.

Fang Yu looked at this man.

The man raised his right hand and grabbed his own tongue.

“Rip!”

With a forceful pull, he actually tore out his own tongue!

After tearing out his tongue, he put his hand on his caved-in face, then stuck his fingers into his eye socket and yanked hard!

“Holy crap!”

Su Changge couldn’t help but curse.

Was this even human?

How could a normal person do such a thing!?

But at this moment, Fang Yu had already noticed something was wrong.

The man he was holding seemed to be turning into liquid!

Black-green fluid was seeping out from all over his body.

The wounds he had inflicted on himself emitted a foul stench.

“This is…” Fang Yu’s eyes showed shock.

He had seen a similar race before.

It was the Corpse Clan that He Ruju had recreated with his technique in the ancient ruins of the Xuzhen Sect they had entered earlier!

The Corpse Clan had rotting wounds all over their bodies, and the mucus that flowed out contained extremely corrosive poison.

Once it touched flesh, the flesh would rapidly dissolve into a pool of blood!

The man before him seemed to be from the Corpse Clan!

Even if he wasn’t, he was something similar to the Corpse Clan, definitely not an ordinary human!

Fang Yu grabbed the man and threw him forcefully, sending his body flying away.

By this time, the group of villagers in front had already surrounded Fang Yu and Su Changge.

There were at least a hundred of them!

“B-Boss… what the hell are these things?” Su Changge asked, covering his nose, his face ashen.

“They’re very likely… the Corpse Clan,” Fang Yu answered.

During their conversation, the villagers had already come very close.

“Step back,” Fang Yu said to Su Changge.

Su Changge immediately retreated.

Fang Yu raised his right palm.

“Whoosh!”

On his right palm, crimson-gold flames suddenly ignited.

To deal with monsters like the Corpse Clan, the best method… was still to use the Separation Fire!

Burning them to ashes would completely destroy their life force!

“Boom!”

With a thought, a huge wave of fire erupted from Fang Yu’s palm, covering the large group of villagers in front.

In an instant, the sea of fire spread, engulfing nearly a hundred villagers.

“Sizzle…”

Along with the sound of burning came the strange cries of the villagers.

A foul stench spread, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

In just a dozen seconds, the group of villagers was completely burned by the Separation Fire.

“The effect of Separation Fire is indeed significant… it’s the perfect weapon for clearing out these troublesome beings,” Fang Yu thought.

Su Changge covered his nose, and seeing no more villagers standing in front, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak.

“Rumble…”

At this moment, a thunderous sound erupted from the depths of the village.

The entire ground of the village began to shake!
