Yan Yu's prophecy was very clear - Ying Fan returned to Bossey.

But how she returned, why she returned, and where she returned to Posei, there is no way of knowing.

So they advanced the departure date, and because of the urgency of the matter, they didn't even use the carriage. Although this was more convenient, it was not as fast as using their feet.

Yan Yu couldn't keep up with the other three, but Panpan ran unexpectedly fast, so she and Lu Jia sat on Panpan's back and buried their bodies in its thick hair, not only sitting securely, but also covering the The wind that blocked the way.

The closer to the west, the darker the sky.

This kind of darkness is not just a darkening of the sky, but a kind of extreme depression. The hearing and vision seem to be taken away from the light, and the fear is like a spider's thread tightly entwining people.

Veterinarians above Grade A are physically much better than ordinary people, no matter how dark the sky is, they will not have the embarrassment of not being able to see their fingers. I don't know if it is because of this, but Yan Yu can still see the outlines of people around him.

She saw Yin Beiqing frowned tightly, staring at a place in front of him, and slowly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Here we are." She could see farther than Yan Yu, pointed to what she saw and told others, "Jingcun."

It was a wooden sign with the word "Jingcun" engraved in red characters. If you get closer, you can see a thick layer of dust on it, as if this place is a forgotten place that the world doesn't even visit. corner.

"Go in." Yan Yu jumped off Panpan and stepped on the ground, giving her a sense of reality that she was not used to.

The soil here is very humid and sticky, and the soles of her shoes are very sticky. When she walks, she has to lift her skirt to be careful not to let the mud splash.

The further you walked into the village, the more dull the sense of being shrouded in a black cloth became. There was no light in the visible range, and the outline of the house could be barely discerned, but the windows were tightly covered.

Yan Yu opened the pocket watch in his sleeve, it showed that it was nine o'clock in the morning, and it was time for everyone to go out for activities in other places, but here not only could not see the light of the sun, it was even difficult to find passers-by.

So they could only knock on the door of the family casually.

There were two "dong dong", but there was silence in the room. After two seconds, something seemed to have accidentally dropped on the ground. Someone whispered but was quickly covered.

Yan Yu guessed that the people inside regarded them as bad people, so she took the initiative to say, "Hello, we are the people sent by Yuling to exorcise the spirits, we will not harm you, can you open the door."

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps approaching the door hesitantly, "Are you an exorcism team? Do you have any tokens?"

Yan Yu directly folded the task list in his arms, and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.

Now the people inside finally opened the door, the wooden door creaked open, and a strong smell of herbs came out, Teng Jingjie subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose, but Yan Yu could distinguish the flavors in this prescription with his keen sense of smell Medicine for clearing marshes.

The lights were not turned on in the house, but a small candle was placed on the table, and the windows were covered with a thick layer of paper to prevent the light from coming in. From the light, we can know that the population of this house is not large, and there is only one person. An old couple who are nearly seventy years old and a girl who looks only thirteen or fourteen years old.

It was this girl who opened the door. She was still holding a newborn baby in her arms. The little milk baby opened her round eyes and didn't cry when she saw strangers. She even smiled at Yan Yu showing her gums.

"Come in." The girl greeted them, her eyes carefully scanning behind them, as if she was worried that something unclean was coming.

The four of them quickly stepped into the door, and the door lock fell firmly, and the held breath of the people in the room was restored.

The old lady hunched over and moved a painted bench for them, "I'm sorry, but I wronged you to sit on this small bench first."

Yan Yu flattened the hem of his clothes and sat down, "This chair is comfortable to sit on. When I was young, I used to compete with others to sit in the middle seat."

Maybe it's because she has a gentle expression and sits there with her back straight. Nothing can disturb her calmness, and people can't help but feel relieved. The old lady's eyes lit up, "You are sent by the queen. Eliminator?"

"We are Yuling's students, here on behalf of Yuling." Yan Yu replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the room darkened. The girl pinched the face of the baby in her arms silently. The old man turned his back and coughed twice, and began to pant heavily. Pulling the bellows in his throat, each mouthful is a last greedy suck.

Under the yellowish candlelight, there was only dim light in the eyes, only the baby cheerfully stretched out his hand in Yan Yu's direction, screaming.

"Are you worried that we won't be able to deal with that evil spirit?"

The old lady sighed, "You are still students, and you have become spiritual masters at a young age. If you experience a lot of experience, you will definitely achieve great achievements in the future, instead of coming here to die in vain."

"You haven't seen our abilities yet, how do you know that we can't do it?" Teng Jingjie was not happy.

"Because you are not the first batch of ghost hunting teams to come." The girl said, her voice was clear and mature, "The ones who ranked higher, big and small spirit hunting teams, even the Red Pavilion They have sent people here."

She pointed to the window on the left, and the sea was outside, "Once you go into the sea, you never come back."

Yan Yu probably could understand their thoughts, such a powerful spiritual master couldn't handle things, wouldn't sending a few students here simply send them to death.

They watched as the newly arrived spirit master raised hopes again and again, but these hopes turned into stones and sank to the bottom of the sea in the end, and their hearts were like wet matches that could not be ignited.

"Well, we know about this." Yan Yu's tone is still gentle, she has no idea, at least she won't show it in front of the villagers, "Since I promised to come, I must be prepared, besides, our friend Maybe it was also captured by the evil spirit, and we have to save it."

"Your friend was taken away?" The old lady shook her head, "It's probably already..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the old man behind had already shown a terrified expression, "Those things...it, they are terrifying."

He saw his son's chest torn apart by the evil spirits with his own eyes, and watched those evil spirits gnaw his flesh and bones with their sharp teeth. "Bajibaji" seemed to be eating some delicious food, and it was precisely this that made him He realized that he, who was originally at the top of the food chain, was already a "prey" that could be served on the table.

Because of fear, the old man only dared to hide in the grass and covered his mouth tightly, and did not dare to run home until the evil spirits were full. But since then, his mental state has not been very normal.

Yan Yu frowned after hearing this, "Cannibalism?"

This is rare, the main source of food for evil spirits should be soul power, or any energy that can be converted into soul power, such as heaven and earth aura and human emotions.

They will hurt people and kill people because of the uncontrollable ferocity and aggressiveness in their bones, but the main targets are those beast masters who have soul orbs.

Treating ordinary humans as food shouldn't make much sense to them.

"More than once or twice, other villagers have seen it too." The old lady added.

Yan Yu nodded, indicating that she already knew, and then asked, "Why don't you light the lamp? It's also because of that evil spirit?"

"It's 'those'." The girl corrected Yan Yu's words, and took out a glass jar from the box under the bed.

She held the glass jar to the candlelight so that several people could see what was inside.

It's a red and black insect, the round ladybug with yellow spots on its body, which is very common in daily life, but this one is too big, and there is faint black gas around it.

Even through a layer of glass, Yan Yu could know that it was methane.

This ladybug was very aggressive, and when it saw the light, it kept bumping against the wall of the bottle, making such a buzzing sound that the girl could hardly hold the bottle in her hands.

"Those evil spirits not only eat people, they are also very sensitive to light." The old lady slowly narrated, "In the beginning, a person in the village who was carrying a torch to gather herbs was attacked, and we only became aware of it."

"The swamp gas is so thick that even humans can't control it. How can those animals bear it? There are more and more fallen beast spirits, and even our own dogs have begun to bite their owners."

"We've already done the calculations. There's also the enchantment under the Spirit Eliminator who came here before. The swamp gas gets heavier as we go to the sea. People can't stay for two seconds at all."

Just from hearing about it, Yan Yu could imagine the power of the evil spirit, able to affect other creatures in such a wide range, no wonder even Queen Posei, who is known as the overlord of the sea, couldn't do anything about it.

"Hey, those who can run have already run away, you should go too." The old lady waved her hand.

"We won't run." Yan Yu covered her hand, "If I was afraid, I wouldn't have come here in the first place."

The old lady looked at her, her wrinkled face twitched, her eyes suddenly became moist, "Silly boy."

"The direction of the methane is right there." Yin Beiqing pointed to the window just now.

The girl nodded.

She stood up directly, "Let's go as soon as you know the place, we can't delay too long."

"Wait." The old lady stopped them, turned her back to dig out the bag for a long time, then opened a stack of yellow oil paper and handed them the contents, "Eat something before leaving, you all drive from the main city Coming here is hard enough."

They were slices of steamed buns that had been fried and sprinkled with sugar, and there were only three slices left in the package.

Yin Beiqing didn't move, but Ruan Yuexuan, who hadn't spoken all this time, took a piece of it unceremoniously, broke it into pieces, and got a piece for each of the four.

Yan Yu gently stuffed it into his mouth, and the tip of his tongue immediately tasted the sweetness of the sugar grains. After chewing twice, he found that the steamed bun slices were very dry. It must have been left for a few days, and they were still a little sour after eating.

"Is it tasty?"

Yan Yu raised the corner of her mouth, "It's delicious, very crispy."

The old lady wiped away her tears, patted her on the shoulder, moved her lips but didn't hold back a word.

After walking out the door, Teng Jingjie asked Ruan Yuexuan, "When did you become interested in this kind of food?"

Ruan Yuexi silently followed the steps of the two in front, "She is sending us off for the last time."
