Chapter 298 Ghost Town

 The clouds block the stars and the moon, the twilight is dim, and the scene behind the small door is shocking.

I saw an ancient city of wind-eroded rocks that looked like a huge honeycomb under the snow-capped mountains. This ancient city was surrounded by layers of layers, at least a dozen layers.

It is surrounded by white wind-eroded rocks, with countless caves on it. There is no grass growing around it, there is no green at all, only a dead dull yellow.

There is no doubt that this is Evil Luo Haicheng, but everyone’s hairs stood up slightly and they felt a little uneasy.

Just because the Evil Luohai City is shrouded in the dusk, the countless lights in the city look particularly hazy in the vague mist.

It seems that the residents in the ancient city have lit candles and are preparing to welcome their arrival.

But the city was completely silent. No one could be seen moving, and there was no sense of life.

Jin Abacus took a deep breath: "Apprentice, do you think there are a group of Demon Kingdom people who have lived in Evil Luohai City all year round and have never gone out?"

Ye Bai shook his head slightly: "It is said that the residents of this city have disappeared inexplicably. There should be no living people anymore, let alone the light of fire and candles. And just now I looked down, and there was a faint aura of death surrounding it, which was extremely ominous.

Let’s all be more careful later.”

Although it was already late at night, no one suggested taking a rest.

The Evil Luohai City is very close at hand, and the candles in the city hang in the hearts of everyone, making people feel uneasy.

Don’t go down and find out how to fall asleep.

Then Partridge Shao and Chen Yulou dismantled many wooden boards in the palace and made sleds and wooden sticks, and everyone slid down the snow mountain one after another.

As we get closer and closer to Evil Luohai City, everyone can see the whole city clearly.

The ancient city stands brightly in the night, seemingly well-preserved, as if it has escaped the shackles of time and has not undergone any changes for thousands of years.

There is a white wall on the outermost perimeter, but it seems to be just a decoration. The city gate on the wall is wide open.

Through the city gate, you can even clearly see the bricks and tiles of the houses in the city. There is only the light of fire and candles, and there is no sound of people. This strange sign is daunting.

Holding Muchen Bead in hand, Ye Bai led everyone slowly into the city gate.

The houses in the city are all honeycomb caves, extending in all directions. There are wisps of mist visible to the naked eye floating in the air. Combined with the scene of death, it does not look like a city where living people live, but a ghost town.

Ye Bai opened his eyes frequently to search for strange things, but he didn't see anything strange. He felt his eyes were sore, so Ye Bai didn't dare to use them anymore.

Passing by several houses, no one dared to enter rashly, but just looked inside at the door.

There is not a single soul in the city, but seven or eight of the ten houses have lit lamps. Moreover, these lamps are not permanent lamps. They are ancient dyes made from the dried dung of wild beasts mixed with grease. They seem to have just been lit.

Soon.

Chen Yulou was bold and took out a sheep bone wine cup from a house and said: "This city is really weird. Look, the wine cup seems to be newly made, and many of the utensils in the house just now are brand new.



Ye Bai took the sheep bone wine cup and looked at it, and made a bold guess: "Perhaps the time in this city was frozen at that moment thousands of years ago, which was the moment when the residents of the city disappeared."

Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask: "Then what kind of power can kidnap people from a city and freeze time?"

Ye Bai sighed: "Maybe it's the snake god worshiped by people in the Demon Kingdom."

The ancient city is too big, and it’s misty at night. You might get lost if you wander around the city.

In addition, they had been traveling all day, and their energy and physical strength were exhausted.

A few people discussed it and planned to find a house to rest in. They were making plans at dawn.

But when everyone walked around a street, Ye Bai and Chen Yulou were suddenly attracted by a scent.

The smell seems to be that of cooked beef, and the fragrance spreads everywhere.

Today, he only ate one bite of white shrimp and a few bunches of mushrooms. Jin Abacus was already dizzy with hunger. He couldn't hold back, and he led everyone to start looking for the source of the smell.

Everyone came to a house and got into the stone cave. They saw that the stone cauldron inside was indeed cooking overcooked yak meat. The meat juice was steaming "gudu", and it looked fragrant and delicious, and the five flavors were harmonious.

Ye Bai frowned slightly. There was not a single person in this ancient city, but there was still a pot of freshly cooked beef. Could it be that, as he just speculated, this city had stayed at that moment thousands of years ago?

Looking at the boiling beef, Jin Abacus's mouth watered, but at this moment, he really didn't dare to take a bite.

Who knows if there will be any problems with beef that has been kept for thousands of years. If something goes wrong after eating it, I am afraid that even the molting turtle will not be able to be saved.

In fact, not only was Jin Abacus not eating much for a day, but also the physical exertion was quite large, everyone was a little greedy.

On the contrary, Ye Bai has advanced Zixia Qi circulating, so he doesn't feel much hungry.

"What should I do? Do you want to eat?" Jin Abacus looked at everyone, as if he was ready to eat as long as one person said he wanted to eat.

However, when he looked at Jiang Yu, he saw that the boy was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his eyes were staring straight at the yak meat in the pot.

If his eyes could eat, he would probably have swallowed several pieces.

Although Jiang Yu was born with supernatural powers and was as strong as an ox, he also had a bad habit, which was that he ate several times more food than a normal person. He had been extremely restrained from eating in the past two days, and now he was almost starved to the point of unconsciousness.

Even if you die of poison, it is better than dying of starvation.

Fortunately, he didn't care and said: "I'll try the poison for everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fished up the beef from the stone cauldron. In just a few breaths, he had already eaten seven or eight pieces of beef into his stomach, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Jin Abacus waited for a while to see if there was anything wrong with him after eating, but at this time Jiang Yu had already cooked half the pot of beef.

The golden abacus cow’s eyes were so wide open that the day lilies would light up if they waited any longer. Since they were not poisonous, there was nothing they dared not eat, so they hurriedly took out the beef and ate it.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu knew what was going on and stopped after eating half the pot. While burping, he made room for Jiang Chanyi and Chen Yulou.

The remaining half pot of beef was not much, Jin Abacus ate most of it, Chen Yulou and Jiang Chanyi also tried a few pieces, but Partridge Whistle didn't eat it, saying that he ate a lot of mushrooms today and was not very hungry.

Ye Bai said nothing, knowing that this was his second brother giving food to everyone. Although the mushroom was large, it contained very few calories. If you eat a full stomach, it will be digested quickly. How can you feel full?

But since there is cooked beef here, there should be other food as well. If you search for it in the house tomorrow morning, you won’t have to worry about food.

The beef in the stone cauldron was eaten, leaving only some minced meat and soup. Seeing that everyone wanted no more, Jiang Yu picked up the stone cauldron, packed up the beef soup, and swallowed it.

At this moment, a cow moo came from the depths of the cave house, which was so harsh in this silent ancient city.
