Chapter 1732 Village Ruins

It's hard to say how many people were behind this incident. Yang Yiyi was just involved and just got the key props.

But Li Chengqi was not in a hurry.

Again, asking Yang Yiyi to look for the treasure was just because Li Chengqi wanted to distract her, so that the girl would not run off to the battlefield in a hurry.

Li Chengqi didn't care whether he could get the treasure, what happened behind it, or who had the last laugh.

What matters is the process, not the result.

In fact, only Yang Yiyi thought that I must go and see it.

For Ning Xianer and Shen Qingluo, no matter what Shen Qingshuang is looking for, it is not a bad thing for her to get it.

After all, Shen Qingluo knew Shen Qingshuang very well and knew that she was not the kind of person who would just submit to others. No matter what she was looking for, Shen Qingshuang's top priority must be to deal with the leader of Fengyun Village and get rid of his control.

When the time comes, Shen Qingluo will enjoy watching them dog-eat-dog.

Of course, the premise is that you must figure out what Shen Qingshuang is looking for, and have a good idea so that you can be prepared.

The prerequisite for sitting on the mountain and watching tiger fights is that you must be able to handle the surviving tigers, otherwise it will be a meal extra.

As for Qin Yan and the two monsters, they were purely here to help and didn't think much about it at all.

No matter what, you have entered, where should you go next?

As mentioned before, Erlang Mountain is a crescent-shaped basin. The place where everyone comes in is actually the weakest part of the crescent, and this area is really not small.

Looking up, even though there is a bright moon in the sky, it is still difficult to see clearly the peaks at the end of the field of vision, and even the snowfields farther away are hidden in the darkness.

Here and there, you can see some withered and yellow vegetation exposed above the snow. There are high mountains on the left and right, and there is no way to go.

If you want to move forward, you have to have a direction. If you wander randomly, you know what you will encounter.

"Would you like to follow these footprints?"

Qin Yan suggested:

"At least judging from the nearby footprints, the action was more decisive. The person who came in first seemed to know the direction."

When most people find their way in an unfamiliar environment, they will of course hesitate for a while. Unless they have something to locate their location, or they simply know where to go, they will be so decisive.

That's true, but it's also possible that you'll collide directly with the other party.

Judging from the traces of Qinggong left behind, this group of people is a group of good players. If they really fight, although they won't be afraid, it will still be very difficult to win, even if Ning Xian'er is present now.

After all, Ning Xianer has not yet broken through the last level, and is infinitely close. It is not yet possible to become an enemy of ten thousand people who cannot be killed by a large number of people.

Qin Yan and the two monsters were likely to die suddenly in the process.

After some discussion, everyone decided to follow the footprints, but not too far, and try to maintain the advantage that the other party did not know that someone else was coming in.

Erlang Mountain is crescent-shaped, and the valley is naturally circular.

It's just that this is a rough terrain. If you look at it from a human perspective, the first thing that blocks your eyes is a large undulating snowfield.

I didn't turn on my flashlight in the middle of the night, so I just relied on the moonlight to follow the footprints. It was really a deep and shallow step in the literal sense.

Everyone knows almost nothing about this place. Now they only know the name of Poyun Cave. Looking for a cave in the Erlang Mountain Mountains is a headache.

So following the footprints is indeed a good idea at first, it is better than wandering around.

About twenty minutes after getting back on the road, Qin Yan, who was leading the way and following the footsteps, suddenly stopped, pointed to the left and said:

"There seems to be something over there, like a house."

Everyone stopped where they were and looked towards the location Qin Yan said.

Yang Yiyi is not good at night activities, but Ning Xianer, who has been fed various miraculous medicines since childhood, looked at it and said:

"It looks like a ruin. No one should have lived in it for a long time."

The vixen following behind interrupted and said:

"When Father Eagle brought me to the North, he saw it from the top of Erlang Mountain. It was an abandoned village. I even asked Father Eagle at that time, and he said that it had been in ruins since it could remember."

Father Eagle's age should not be at the level of a thousand years, but he must be hundreds of years older anyway. The village must have been a long, long time ago.

"Uh... go over and take a look?"

Yang Yiyi said:

"Didn't I say that the wolf demon mentioned some ruins before?"

Indeed, what Father Eagle told Shen Qingluo mentioned Erlang Mountain, Boyun Cave and ruins.

Anyway, the footprints would not escape here, so everyone immediately turned and headed towards the ruins.

Just now, it looked vaguely like the outline of a house in the distance. When I looked closer, it turned out to be ruins.

The thatch and adobe on the roof have almost fallen off, probably collapsed by the heavy snow, leaving only some beams and supports. Yang Yiyi walked outside the house and looked inside, and could still see the remaining beams inside. Things like a kang stove.

Li Chengqi said to them at this time:

"If there are no traces of damage by wild beasts or the like, at least the people here should have evacuated in an orderly manner."

"Why?"

"No clothes or household appliances were found in the house."

Clothes made of organic matter will of course decompose over time, but they will also leave fragments. However, daily utensils, such as pots and pans, can be preserved for a long time.

The house has not completely collapsed, and it will not be long enough for the inorganic appliances to disappear.

It was accidental that one or two houses were like this, but most of the houses along the way were like this. It was only because the people who lived here evacuated in an orderly manner. It might be because of some natural disasters or man-made disasters, and it was not a sudden disaster like an earthquake, otherwise people should still be able to find bones here.

Judging from the scale, this place was probably once a small town with an estimated population of tens of thousands. Later, something happened and they all evacuated.

And the weird thing is also here. This kind of large-scale evacuation event will definitely leave some records in history. Even if there are no written records, there will be some legends.

For example, the famous underwater city of Fuxian Lake in our dynasty, the villages and towns around Fuxian Lake are all circulated with similar jingles, saying that there is a king underwater.

That is the clue left in history by people who had to evacuate their hometown when Fuxian Lake was formed.

But there are no similar rumors nearby. The only rumor is that Erlang Shen cannot get close.

Watching Yang Yiyi and the others exploring the ruins of the town, Li Chengxi suddenly remembered something.

Could the bandits who kidnapped nearby villagers into the fog have something to do with this town?

There is no doubt that the fog at the door must be a spell effect, and when Li Chengxi guided Yang Yiyi and the others in, he also saw the broken iron chain, a man-made object.

So is there a possibility that this fog has no effect on the people who originally lived here, and only outsiders need chains to come in.

The bandits knew this, so they kidnapped people from nearby villages and towns and drove them in, and those who met the criteria would naturally come out.

At that time, the bandits could rely on this person to pass through the fog at the door.
