Chapter 270 The Trapped Bandits
Chapter 270 The Trapped Bandits
Even though they were extremely vigilant and careful after entering the village, they were still shocked when they suddenly encountered this strange phenomenon!
This broken village was originally normal, but just after they entered the village, fog suddenly filled the air and everything became gray!
This frightened them so much that they stopped immediately and dared not move forward. This situation was too weird!
"Boss! Is this village haunted?"
Someone immediately couldn't help but panic.
The leading man frowned, a fierce expression on his face. "What's going on? Someone's just playing tricks on us. Trying to scare us off? Humph! You're dreaming! Let's keep going and catch the rat in the dark!"
The shout immediately emboldened the men. They followed the leader with swords in hand and continued walking towards the village.
Three people were left outside the village to guard the horses and prevent anyone from escaping from the village.
But the three were shocked when they saw a strange gray fog suddenly spread in the village. The main reason was that the fog appeared too suddenly and covered the entire village in an instant. Moreover, as soon as the gray fog appeared, they felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, which scared the three of them so much that they retreated one after another, and shouted loudly into the village.
"Boss! Are you all okay?"
The village was silent, without a sound at all. The fog seemed to drown out even the sound, and they received no response.
Now, the three of them were suddenly panicked, but they didn't dare to go in. They could only watch anxiously outside the village and shout to the villagers from time to time. There was nothing else they could do. They didn't know what was going on. They had never encountered such a situation before!
At this time, a group of people in the village suppressed their fear and walked forward tremblingly for a while, but this small village seemed to have no end, and they could not get out of the range of the gray fog.
It wasn't until a while later that someone realized that this was the wrong road!
They kept walking this route over and over again, as if they were trapped in a maze and were stuck on the road.
After discovering this situation, their fear deepened. There was silence all around, and the thick gray fog carried a chilling aura that made people feel cold in their hearts and their legs weak. Many people did not dare to move forward.
"This is definitely haunted! This is a ghost village!"
"It's over. What should we do? We are trapped..."
"Everything was fine before we entered the village, how come it suddenly became like this?"
"Boss, what should we do?"
Hearing his men's somewhat frustrated words, Boss Feng felt a little irritated and panicked at the same time. He tried not to show any fear and said in a deep voice, "Let's retreat!"
As soon as they heard the order to retreat, a group of people quickly turned around and ran back. Saving their lives was the most important thing. Boss Feng's steps were also very fast, but this time he did not run to the front, nor did he stay at the end. The middle position was the safest. In case the situation changed, he would have time to react and would not face danger immediately.
In the past, Boss Feng would not do such a shameful thing, but now the situation is too strange. He has a hunch that it is extremely dangerous here and he might lose his life. He can only dodge for now. Now he feels a little regretful that he should not have been so reckless.
A group of people ran desperately towards the village entrance, but after running for a long time, they were still in the village, still repeating the previous path.
"It's over! I can't escape!"
The person running in the front was a little overwhelmed and stopped. Seeing this, the others also slowly stopped, gasping for breath, looking at the gray road that stretched as far as the eye could see. They felt heavy in their hearts, as if a huge rock was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The surroundings were still quiet, without any sound except for their breathing.
"Let's try climbing over the nearby wall. Everyone, find a way out. We're sure we can get out!"
Boss Feng suddenly said that the others could only hope for a lucky break and climb over the broken wall next to them, hoping to find a way out.
But after climbing over the wall, the deserted yard was filled with strange gray fog and a gloomy atmosphere. How was the situation different from outside?
They all felt heavy-hearted and could only look around for an exit.
They opened the gate, but there was also fog outside. They continued to climb over the wall and stood on it to look around. However, since the entire village was shrouded in gray fog, they could only see the scenery within ten meters. All they could see were either abandoned houses and yards or overgrown village roads.
Looking up at the sky, it seemed dark, as if night was about to fall.
……
Although there was a light mist in the yard behind the village, it was much more comfortable than the coldness in the village.
Ning Ji and Si He were not in a hurry to deal with the group of people who entered the village. Like last night, they ate first. They were trapped in a ghost wall and generally could not get out of the village.
After dinner, it was completely dark and the moon was rising.
The sky above the courtyard was not covered by fog, and the cool and soft moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the courtyard.
Si He sat at the table, put her hands on it, and Ning Ji took her pulse.
His slender fingers rested on her wrist, silent and serious.
Under the moonlight, his handsome face has a different temperament. When he is serious, he looks a little solemn, but also makes people unable to look away. That kind of concentration has a charming charm.
After a while, he looked up at Si He and asked her how she felt.
Si He felt pretty well and was not feeling tired or sleepy for the time being. The condensed spiritual essence she had taken before was indeed very useful and she did not feel any discomfort.
Ning Ji was relieved when he saw that her condition was stable.
"Husband, when are we leaving here?"
"Tired of waiting?"
"That's fine. I just feel I'm still in good health. We can go to Tianshan earlier while the weather is still good."
Ning Ji smiled lightly, rubbed her head with his hand, and said, "Don't worry, let's observe for a few more days. When your body is stable, we will leave."
"Ok."
The two sat in the yard and chatted for a while. When the night grew darker, they got up and walked out of the yard to deal with the group of uninvited guests who were trapped in the maze.
Just like last night, after stepping out of the courtyard, the cold and gloomy air was suddenly extremely obvious, and the feeling of stepping into a haunted place was very clear.
Because the fog outside the yard was thicker, the moonlight could hardly shine in, and the light suddenly became much dimmer. The surroundings were pitch black, and only a vague outline could be seen at most.
Ning Ji held Si He's hand and walked towards the dim village path. They could faintly hear some people talking in the distance, so the two of them walked towards the direction of the sound.
The closer we got, the clearer the voices of those people became, but they were scattered in several places. There were voices, shouts, and whimpers of fear. Those people seemed to be separated from each other like the people last night, so some people were a little collapsed.
