Chapter 228: Strange Demon

"It seems that the sacrifice is not enough. These 'firewood' are almost burned out!"

The black shadow laughed strangely, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The sacrifices he needs are far from enough.

Only more sacrifices can restore more strength.

In this dark corner, the strange laughter of the black shadow echoed, as if it came from the depths of hell.

His eyes, like two burning ghosts, jumped in the darkness, revealing a trace of greed and dissatisfaction.

~~~~~~~

At this time, Fang Yue had already brought Lin Wan'er and his servant out of the cellar.

"He is not at home. Where would this old man go so late?" As soon as he came out, Fang Yue found that there was no one in the house.

Fang Yue frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lin Wan'er saw that Fang Yue's expression was a little wrong, and asked.

Fang Yue looked back at Lin Wan'er and said in a deep voice: "The old man is not at home. I wonder where he would go so late at night."

Lin Wan'er was also a little surprised to hear Fang Yue say this.

Where would an old man over fifty years old go if he was not at home at this late night?

With this question, Fang Yue and Lin Wan'er, the master and servant, left the yard.

A quarter of an hour later,

they came to the big willow tree in the middle of the village.

"There is not a single person in the whole village!"

Fang Yue looked around with a frown. This village should have some breath of life, but at this moment it was as quiet as a dead zone.

This village is really strange. Perhaps the people in this village disappeared inexplicably.

It should be related to the breath he sensed outside the village!

Fang Yue is a Qi Refiner, who is more sensitive to the fluctuations of the Qi between heaven and earth than ordinary people. Moreover, if he wants to continue to improve his current cultivation, he must refine four kinds of Qi.

He encountered one here, so of course he had to come and see it.

So, Fang Yue decided to go into the village to find out.

However, he did not expect that this seemingly peaceful village actually hides such a strange secret.

Fang Yue took a deep breath and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

With his current cultivation, his perception of danger is far beyond that of ordinary people. At this moment, he can clearly feel that there is an unsettling atmosphere in this village.

"Follow me closely, something is wrong here, I will take you away from here first." Fang Yue whispered.

Fang Yue immediately took Lin Wan'er and her servant to the outside of the village.

After a while,

the three of them returned to the big willow tree in the center of the village.

"I can't get out, and this is the case again. Is there a monster here too?"

After Fang Yue found that he couldn't get out, he immediately thought of the monster wolf he had met in Guangfeng Mansion before. When the other party appeared, it did produce a similar effect in the surrounding area.

This is the talent of some powerful monsters, which can distort people's perception.

So, if you want to get out of here, you must pull out the monster.

"You two should be careful, something is wrong here!" Fang Yue warned again.

Lin Wan'er and Xiaohong are both smart people. Seeing Fang Yue so solemn, they also know that the situation is not good at the moment.

They followed Fang Yue closely, not daring to be careless.

The three of them carefully shuttled through the village, looking for possible clues.

Fang Yue always remained vigilant. His aura perception was like a big net, collecting all the wind and grass around him.

Suddenly, Fang Yue's footsteps paused and his eyes looked at a dilapidated house. The door of the house was open, and it was dark inside, as if swallowing all the darkness.

"There is something abnormal there." Fang Yue said in a deep voice, and at the same time walked towards the dilapidated house.

Lin Wan'er and Xiaohong followed closely behind. They held each other's hands tightly, and their hearts were full of tension and fear.

The three came to the dilapidated house, and Fang Yue walked in first.

A cold air flow came to his face, as if an invisible ghost was whispering in his ear.

The house was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Fang Yue released his own vitality, forming a faint protective shield that enveloped the three people and illuminated the surrounding environment.

They saw that the house was full of strange offerings, including animal corpses, and some incomprehensible symbols and totems.

The three stared at the scene in front of them, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts. These offerings and symbols all revealed a strange and evil atmosphere.

Fang Yue's eyes were like torches. He carefully looked at every corner of the house, trying to find more clues. He noticed that there were some strange patterns painted on the wall, which looked like some ancient text or symbols.

"What do these patterns mean?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously.

Fang Yue shook his head: "I don't know, but I can be sure that these patterns must be related to the secrets of this village."

He had a strong desire to explore and wanted to uncover the truth of all this. But at the same time, he also knew that there was a huge danger hidden in this village and he had to remain vigilant.

"Let's keep looking, maybe there are other clues." Fang Yue said in a deep voice.

The three continued to search the house, not missing any possible clues. Although Lin Wan'er and Xiaohong were afraid, they knew they couldn't retreat at this moment, so they could only follow Fang Yue closely, hoping to find a way out as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Xiao Hong exclaimed and pointed to a hidden grid in the corner: "Look, what is this?"

Fang Yue and Lin Wan'er looked in the direction of Xiao Hong's finger and saw a hidden compartment in the corner of the wall, which seemed to contain something.

Fang Yue walked over cautiously and reached out to open the secret compartment. A strong fishy smell assaulted the nostrils, and there was actually a bloody heart hidden in the secret compartment!

"This is..." Lin Wan'er covered her mouth and looked at the heart in horror.

Fang Yue frowned, and he picked up the heart and looked at it carefully. The heart seemed to be beating slightly, emitting a strange aura.

"This is the human heart." Fang Yue said in a deep voice, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this village."

He put his heart back into the secret compartment, and became more determined to uncover the secrets of this village.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner of the wall and rushed toward Fang Yue. The black shadow was incredibly fast and arrived in front of Fang Yue in an instant.

Fang Yue reacted quickly. He stretched out his palm, and a majestic energy burst out instantly, knocking the black shadow away.

The shadow fell to the ground and let out a shrill scream. Fang Yue took the opportunity to rush forward, preparing to completely eliminate the black shadow.

However, at this moment, the black shadow suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and penetrated into the wall behind it.

Fang Yue's eyes narrowed, his figure was like lightning, and he quickly chased to the wall. He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the wall. A powerful energy came out of his body, trying to force the black shadow out of the wall.

The wall shook slightly, and then a deep cave was revealed.

Fang Yue's eyes were like a torch, staring at the deep cave, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.

He knew that the dark shadow was hiding in this cave, and that this was probably the secret of the village.

"You two wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." Fang Yue turned back and said to Lin Wan'er and Xiao Hong.

Although Lin Wan'er and Xiao Hong were scared, they also knew they couldn't cause trouble to Fang Yue at this moment, so they nodded in agreement: "Okay, be careful."

Fang Yue took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and then walked into the cave cautiously.

It was pitch black inside the cave, and you couldn't see your fingers.

He found that the inner wall of the cave was as smooth as a mirror and winding as if there was no end.

Fang Yue was wary, he knew there must be something hidden here. He walked forward along the cave, always alert.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound coming from the front, which made people feel horrified. Fang moved forward faster and faster, and soon came to the place where the sound came from.

He saw a huge cave appearing in front of him, filled with strange sacrifices and totems.

In this cave, there were more than thirty people lying down in various directions.

These people, men, women, old and young, of all shapes and sizes, should be the residents of this village. Because among these people, Fang Yue discovered the old man!

These villagers were not dead, but judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they had encountered some kind of evil spell and had been robbed of their vitality.

When Fang Yue saw this scene, his heart was not at peace.

Although these villagers were still breathing, their faces were as pale as paper and their eyes were lifeless, as if they had lost their souls. Their bodies were shriveled and thin, as if all the life in their bodies had been drained away.

"What kind of evil method is this? It's so vicious!" Fang Yue thought to himself.

However, here, Fang Yue also sensed that special vitality.

Fang Yue looked around, trying to find traces of the person who cast the evil spell.

However, apart from these villagers, there was no one else in the cave.

Fang Yue frowned and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Could it be that the person who cast the evil spell has left?

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A burst of black mist slowly rose up.

Fang Yue's eyes narrowed and he immediately noticed that the black mist was unusual.

He quickly circulated the vitality in his body to form a protective shield to cover himself, while watching the black mist with vigilance.

The black mist gradually condensed and took shape, finally turning into an eerie black shadow. The black shadow let out a burst of weird laughter, the sound was shrill and horrifying.

"What kind of monster are you? How dare you commit murder here!" Fang Yue shouted sternly, while releasing strong energy fluctuations in an attempt to frighten the other party.

However, the black shadow did not seem to be afraid of Fang Yue's vitality fluctuations. Instead, he let out an even more arrogant and strange laugh: "Jie Jie, another sacrifice delivered to the door! Your body is so perfect, so great!! !”

The strange laughter of the black shadow echoed in the cave, making people shudder. Fang Yue stared at the black shadow more closely, feeling strong vigilance and hostility in his heart.

He knew that this black shadow was the culprit responsible for the strange phenomena in this village, and was also the evil existence that robbed the villagers of their vitality.

"No matter what kind of monster you are, if you meet me today, you will be unlucky!" Fang Yue said coldly, while stimulating the vitality in his body to prepare for a battle with the black shadow.

The black shadow didn't seem to be in a hurry to take action. He smiled sinisterly and said: "Boy, your tone is not small. However, do you think you can compete with me based on your strength? You are so naive!"

As he said that, the black shadow stretched out a withered arm and grabbed Fang Yue. Black mist lingered on the arm, exuding a strong evil aura.

Fang Yue didn't dare to be careless, and he immediately mobilized the vitality in his body to fight back.

The vitality covered his whole body, and then Fang Yue launched an attack on the black shadow. His energy and blood surged into the sky, and a blazing heat wave suddenly erupted.

Suddenly, the originally dark and cold cave became warm.

The black shadow Jie Jie smiled strangely, not afraid of Fang Yue's attack at all, but rushed forward. The two forces collided fiercely in the cave, erupting with a deafening loud noise.

Fang Yue only felt a huge impact, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

He was secretly surprised that this black shadow was actually pretty good!

It's almost equivalent to him using seven points of his strength!

The black shadow seemed a little surprised that Fang Yue was able to resist his attack. He smiled strangely, and his figure was erratic in the cave like a ghost, disappearing and reappearing in an unpredictable way.

The strange laughter of the black shadow echoed in the cave, as if it had some strange magic power, trying to disturb Fang Yue's mind.

But Fang Yue has experienced countless life and death tests, and his mind is as firm as iron. How could he be shaken by such a little trick?

However, it did not dare to take the initiative to attack Fang Yue.

At this time, the villagers who were lying on the ground and lingering on their feet actually got up one by one.

At this time, they seemed to be crazy beasts, their eyes were red.

As soon as they stood up, they were still a little stunned, but then they all rushed towards Fang Yue.

Although the villagers were controlled by the black shadow and lost their minds, their strength was not weak, and each of them actually had the strength of a bone-forging warrior.

But it was not enough in front of Fang Yue. No matter how many came, he would send him flying with just one move.

However, Fang Yue didn't notice it.

Among the crowd, there was a crazy villager, with a fierce and crazy look in his red eyes.

Then this person continued to 'attack' Fang Yue as before.

When Fang Yue was ten feet away in front of him, the villager suddenly rose up, erupting with a tyrannical force far beyond imagination!

"Huh? No, this guy is wrong!"

Fang Yue immediately noticed something unusual about this villager, but before he could react, the other party had already attacked him, and he could only attack with all his strength.

boom!

There was a loud noise, and Fang Yue and the villager slapped each other hard.

Powerful power exploded, and the aftermath blew away the surrounding villagers.

Fang Yue's figure shook a bit, then stood firmly.

The villager flew backwards, hit the cave wall hard, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He struggled to stand up, but he had no strength left. He could only lie on the ground and stared at Fang Yue fiercely.

Fang Yue looked at the villager coldly, feeling a little surprised.

This villager was actually stronger than the villagers he had encountered before, and the opponent had obviously tried his best in that attack just now.

If he hadn't responded in time, he might have suffered a loss.

"Who are you? Why do you want to mix in with these villagers?" Fang Yue asked coldly.

He knew that this villager was definitely not an ordinary villager, but someone who had sneaked in intentionally.

"Pfft, you are so despicable. You didn't use your full strength just now! You humans are really despicable and shameless!"

The villager who fell on the ground stared at Fang Yue bitterly, but after saying these words, he shriveled up like a deflated rubber ball.

At the same time, a black smoke seeped out from the villager, and immediately penetrated into the wall behind him and disappeared.

"It's actually possessed?"

Seeing this scene, Fang Yue's heart trembled slightly. He realized that this black shadow was not simple. It not only had great strength, but also had strange methods.

The villager just now was possessed by a black shadow, so he suddenly burst out with such powerful power.

Moreover, the shadow can also escape through the wall, which further illustrates his weirdness and difficulty.

"What exactly is this black shadow? Is it a monster? Or something else? Why is it harming people in this village?" Fang Yue was filled with doubts.

However, now that the black shadow has escaped, he has no way to pursue him.

"Forget it, I'd better be careful in the future, this world is getting weirder and weirder."

Fang Yue sighed in his heart, and then began to search in the cave.

After the black shadow escaped, the fluctuation of vitality here became more and more obvious.

After Fang Yue searched for it, he found what looked like a small pool. In the center of the pool, there was a ball of blue smoke-like vitality floating.

"This seems to be the Aoki vitality described in ancient books! Refining this vitality can prolong life and increase lifespan and endurance."

Fang Yue quickly recognized this ball of cyan energy.

His face suddenly showed joy. After all, although this kind of vitality does not increase the strength much, it can extend his life.
