The voice of the Long-browed True Man was interrupted by Lin Daniao’s exclamation. The copper coins in his hand fell with a “clang” and rolled a few times before stopping.
”What？ Another empty city？”
The Long-browed True Man’s eyes widened in disbelief. He quickly came to Lin Daniao’s side and bent down to look down.
Sure enough, below was a city of considerable size. The city wall was mottled, but it exuded a sense of historical heaviness. Although the buildings in the city were slightly old, they were still neatly arranged. However, just like the previous ones, there was not a single person, and it was eerily quiet.
”This…” The Long-browed True Man was dumbfounded and couldn’t speak for a while.
Then, he took out the map again, glanced at it, and said, “This city is called Lingyin City. Although the population is not as large as the previous three, there are still two million people… How, how could they all disappear too？”
Lin Daniao taunted ed: “Second brother, your calculation is really accurate. Just after you said it was a great omen, we encountered another empty city.”
“You know shit!” “I was just about to say something when you interrupted me.”
Shameless.
Lin Daniao cursed in his heart.
Ye Qiu’s expression became even more solemn, and he said in a deep voice： “The disappearance of the population in four consecutive cities is by no means a coincidence.”
The Long-browed True Man nodded and said with a solemn expression： “This kind of strange thing is the first time I have seen. Perhaps, Zhongzhou is facing an unprecedented crisis.”
Lin Daniao was a little worried and said： “Boss, why don’t we go down and investigate？”
Ye Qiu shook his head： “We have to rush back to the imperial city as soon as possible. I’m worried that something has happened to the imperial city.”
The Long-browed True Man said： “The little bastard is right. It’s better to rush back to the imperial city dam as soon as possible！”
In an instant, the wind-riding sword accelerated, like a flash of lightning, the sky and over the Lingyin City.
“Huh？”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s eyebrows raised and he stopped the wind-riding sword.”
“What’s the matter, boss？” Lin Daniao asked.”
“Did you notice any vitality？” Ye Qiu asked.”
Immediately, Lin Daniao, Mo Tianji, and the Long-browed True Man simultaneously spread their spiritual senses to cover the entire Lingyin City.”
After a while, the three of them shook their heads at the same time.”
“I just seemed to notice a trace of vitality.” Ye Qiu said.”
“Little bastard, didn’t you have a hallucination？” The Long-browed True Man said： “If there were really living beings in the city, it would be impossible to escape the perception of our several people.”
“Go down and take a look.” Ye Qiu always felt that his perception was not wrong. Immediately, the four of them landed in Lingyin City.”
I saw that on both sides of the street, the doors were tightly closed, as if no one had set foot there for a long time.”
gust of wind blew, raising A few withered leaves on the ground, made a rustling sound, which was particularly jarring in the dead silence of the city.
“This place is so quiet that it makes people feel creepy in their hearts.”
Lin Daniao couldn’t help but shiver. He looked around, but only saw the empty street and the closed doors and windows without a trace of the breath of a living person.
The Long-browed True Man said softly, “The whole city is like being forgotten by time.”
Mo Tianji observed the surroundings vigilantly, not letting go of any possible details, trying to find a clue from this deathly silence.
“I always feel that something must have happened here.” Mo Tianji said in a low voice.
Ye Qiu led the way forward, taking every step carefully. His intuition told him that although this city seemed deserted, it definitely hid unknown secrets.
“Don’t be careless. Everyone be careful.” Ye Qiu turned around and told everyone, and continued to move forward.
Inside the houses on both sides of the street, some daily necessities could be seen scattered from time to time, but there was no sign of people. This strong contrast made people feel an indescribable uneasiness.
On the table of a teahouse, the teapot was still half-tilted, as if the owner had just left temporarily but never came back.
“Look over there——” Suddenly, Mo Tianji pointed to a corner of the wall, where there was a row of shallow footprints. If you didn’t observe carefully, it was almost impossible to notice.
The few people walked to the corner of the wall.
The Long-browed True Man immediately crouched down and carefully studied the row of footprints. His brows furrowed even tighter and he said, “These footprints… they don’t seem to be those of an ordinary person. They are too small, too light, and the shape is strange.”
”Maybe they were left by some spiritual beast,” said Lin Daniao.
”This possibility cannot be ruled out,” Ye Qiu pondered. His sharp gaze searched around, trying to find more clues.
The Long-browed True Man stood up and said softly, “Anyway, since we have stopped, let’s explore further.”
The four people continued to move forward, passing through silent streets one by one. Every step was taken carefully.
After a while, they stopped in front of a civilian residence.
This civilian residence was no different from other houses, but the faint light leaking from the crack of the door attracted Ye Qiu’s attention.
”Here,” Ye Qiu pointed to the half-hidden door and motioned for everyone to approach.
The Long-browed True Man reminded everyone, “Be careful.”
Ye Qiu, who was highly skilled and bold, Youdaoplaceholder0 forward and gently pushed open the door. A rotten smell rushed towards them, interspersed with a faint musty smell.
The room was dark, and only a ray of sunlight by the window barely illuminated a corner of the room.
”Is there anyone there？” Lin Daniao asked softly, but his voice echoed in the empty room and received no response.
Ye Qiu took the lead in walking into the house. His eyes searched around and found that the furnishings in the house were simple, but it was extremely clean, as if the owner had just left temporarily and would come back at any time.
“It seems to be an ordinary house.” Lin Daniao said.
Ye Qiu sniffed with his nose. He felt a trace of blood smell. Suddenly, he turned his head and his eyes fixed on the wooden table in the center of the house.
There was a layer of dust on the tabletop. There was an extinguished oil lamp on it, and there was nothing else.
The Long-browed True Man noticed Ye Qiu’s eyes and immediately walked to the wooden table and said, “Little brat, there seems to be words on the tabletop, but they are too vague and can’t be seen clearly.
Lin Daniao and Mo Tianji also came over.
Ye Qiu waved his palm, and suddenly, the dust on the tabletop was scattered by the palm force.
After the dust was scattered, everyone could see clearly that the so-called words were not words, but several deep claw marks, among which there was also dried blood, which looked extremely shocking.
The arrangement of the claw marks seemed to be intentional, and they were crookedly pieced together to form two words——
Help！
Obviously, this is a distress signal.
“This is too strange. What exactly happened here？” The Long-browed True Man said in a deep voice.
Mo Tianji said, “I think there must be some kind of connection between the distress signal here and the disappearance of the population in the four cities.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes were tightly fixed on those several claw marks. He had a strong premonition in his heart that the disappearance of the population in the four cities definitely hid a huge secret.
”Let me investigate.”
Ye Qiu’s face was full of seriousness. Immediately, a sword finger pointed out： “Time and space reversal！”
