Chapter 211 Return to Wutian Town
Although the destination is still in the extreme north, the distance has increased a little.
It's equivalent to walking an arc.
Of course, this was not Ye Chen's mistake, but intentional.
If you take this route, you will inevitably pass by a place - Wutian Town.
Ye Chen still remembered very clearly the strange situation he saw when he was led there last time under Mr. Mu.
This time, he said he would find out what he wanted to...
As he was rushing around day and night, Ye Chen only took one day to reach the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed, and Ye Chen clearly felt that the ice elements in the air were becoming more and more abundant.
Although it is still within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it is already very close to the extreme north. If you move forward, there will be no cities.
On the mainland, except for the Xingluo Empire, all three countries border the extreme north, but no country dares to include it within its territory.
Few people even enter this bitter and cold place.
In the minds of most human soul masters, there are more crises hidden in the extreme north than the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the other hand, Ye Chen's speed completely slowed down at this time, and he followed the route in his memory and arrived at the location of Wutian Town.
Standing in front of the dilapidated and quaint archway, Ye Chen was stunned and a little dazed.
The last time Mr. Mu brought him here, the purpose was definitely not as simple as rest.
According to his speculation along the way, the other party might have met someone here or conveyed some news.
If Mr. Mu really met someone here, the greatest possibility would be that old man named Zikun.
Moreover, Ye Chen stayed with Mr. Mu throughout the whole process, and the only time he separated was when he stayed at night.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen no longer hesitated and walked into this small town shrouded in the fog.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but the moment Ye Chen stepped into the archway, the light suddenly dimmed a lot, and the whole sky became cloudy, as if a storm was about to come.
Yechen didn't think much about it, and walked along the main street in the center to the restaurant where they stayed last time.
Even though it was the second time I came here, I still felt like I was transcending time and space.
The surrounding architectural style is still so ancient and simple, but compared to the last time, Ye Chen discovered a strange phenomenon.
Although it was daytime, there were still very few pedestrians on the street, and they were all in a hurry and expressionless face.
Whether it is a shop or a house on both sides of the road, the doors are closed. Through the paper windows, you can see that a silver-white candle is lit in every room.
The light of the candle also showed a strange blood-red color, accompanied by the rustling wind and the sound of silver bells, making people feel unconsciously creepy.
When I came last time, it was night, so I didn’t think anything was there.
But now it is clearly during the day, and even if the sky is a little dark, this situation is really incredible.
What was even more chilling was that Ye Chen met a wedding team on the road, and it looked like he had already received the bride and was on the way back.
But whether it is a new couple or other accompanying people, they all have a expressionless and cold look on their faces.
‘This is not a bride-welcoming team, it is clearly a funeral!’ Ye Chen complained a few times after seeing this scene.
He hasn't experienced anything for this period of time, so he will naturally not be frightened by this strange atmosphere.
Moreover, after fusing the bitter bamboo, Ye Chen found that no matter what happened, he felt more and more calm inside.
But now it has not reached the point of being inactive and inaction, and this scene is really unlucky. Ye Chen couldn't help but take a few steps quickly and staggered it.
Although the town was not big, Ye Chen was not moving forward quickly and kept observing the situation in the town. Therefore, after half an hour, he arrived at the restaurant where they stayed last time.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a restaurant on the first floor. Many guests were dining here at this time. Ye Chen was not in a hurry. He first found a free seat to sit down, ordered some food, and began to inquire about the conversations of the people around him.
Soon, he discovered an abnormal situation. There were about twenty people in the restaurant, and they continued to discuss the same thing without exception.
A few kilometers east of Wutian Town is the sea area close to the extreme north. Everyone present makes a living by going out to sea to fish.
According to everyone, they all encountered something strange when they went out to sea.
As for what this strange thing was, Ye Chen did not hear any useful news, and everyone kept silent and dared not mention it easily.
Ye Chen subconsciously had some doubts in his heart. When he came last time, he heard someone mention this strange thing.
Unexpectedly, after more than four months, this strange thing not only did not disappear, but instead encountered more and more people.
If I continue listening, I obviously can't get more useful information, so Ye Chen planned to just ask someone.
After looking around, he placed his target on the two people in the corner.
The two of them were also discussing that strange thing, but compared to the others, Ye Chen felt that their faces were a little kinder.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen got up and leaned over, bowed his fists, and asked humbly: "Two brothers, what is the strange thing you are discussing?"
Ye Chen disguised his expression as others, and his eyes were a little cold.
He was worried that if he acted differently than ordinary people, he might arouse the other party's vigilance.
After hearing this, one of them turned his eyes to Ye Chen, with a expression on his face still on his face, but his tone was very confusing: "This little brother, the matter has spread in the town. Don't you know?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "I have been in seclusion some time ago and I just left the seclusion today. I never thought I was listening to everyone's discussions along the way, so I was a little confused."
After saying this, Ye Chen felt that the two of them had a slight shock. For some reason, a bad premonition flashed through his heart.
"This little brother, I guess he is not from our town, right?" The person who asked earlier said again, his tone of confidence.
Ye Chen was shocked, wondering how the two of them saw it, "How did this big brother know?"
While asking, he secretly mobilized his soul power in case of emergency.
But what Ye Chen didn't expect was that the other party did not make things difficult for him, but instead explained in a kind tone: "Because you said just now, I have been practicing in seclusion some time ago, but none of the people in our town can practice."
After listening to the other party’s explanation, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, but he didn’t expect that he was exposed here.
However, seeing that the other party had no intention of making things difficult for him, Ye Chen asked bluntly: "But why?"
The man rubbed his chin, as if he was hesitating, but before he could think about whether he should say it, the other person spoke first.
"Because, our town has been cursed."
