Douluo Dalu: Yin and Yang Judgment
Chapter 211: Return to Wutian Town
Although the destination is still the far north, in this way, the distance has increased a bit.
It is equivalent to walking an arc.
This was of course not Ye Chen's mistake, but intentional.
If you take this route, you will inevitably pass through a place-Wutian Town.
Ye Chen still remembered very clearly the strange situation he saw when he was there last time under the leadership of Mr. Mu.
This time, he has to find out what he said...
After driving day and night, Ye Chen arrived at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire in just one day.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed, Ye Chen clearly felt that the ice element in the air became more and more filled.
Although it was still in the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was already very close to the far north, and there would be no cities anymore.
On the mainland, with the exception of the Xingluo Empire, all three countries bordered the Far North, but none of them dared to include it within their own territory.
Few people even enter this bitter cold land.
In the minds of most human soul masters, there are more hidden crises in the Far North than in the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the other hand, Ye Chen slowed down completely at this time, following the route in his memory, and came to the location of Wutian Town.
Standing in front of the shabby and quaint archway, Ye Chen was dazed.
The last time Mr. Mu brought him here, his purpose was definitely not as simple as taking a rest.
According to his speculation along the way, the other party may have seen someone here, or conveyed some news.
If Mr. Mu really met someone here, the most likely one would be the old man named Zikun.
And Ye Chen stayed with Mu Lao the whole time, 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 mist.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, the moment Ye Chen stepped into the archway, the light suddenly dimmed a lot, and the entire sky became overcast, as if a storm was about to come.
Ye Chen didn't think much, and walked along the main street in the center to the restaurant where they stayed last time.
Even though it is the second time here, there is still a feeling of crossing time and space.
The surrounding architectural style is still as old and simple, but compared with the last time, Ye Chen has discovered a strange phenomenon.
Although it is daytime, there are still very few pedestrians on the street, and all of them are in a hurry, with expressionless faces.
Whether it is a shop or a house on both sides of the road, the doors are closed tightly. 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 weird blood red, accompanied by the rustling wind and the sound of silver bells, which made people unconsciously produce a kind of creepy feeling.
Since it was night when I came last time, Ye Chen didn't think there was anything.
But now it is clearly daytime, even if the sky is a bit dim, such a situation is really weird.
What is even more chilling is that Ye Chen met a welcoming team on the road, and it seemed that he had already received the bride and was on the way back.
But whether it's a new couple or other accompanying people, they all have cold expressions in their eyes.
‘This is the welcoming team, obviously it’s funeral! After seeing this scene, Ye Chen muttered a few words.
He hadn't experienced anything in this period of time, so naturally he wouldn't be frightened by this weird atmosphere.
It's just that the current scene is a bit unfavorable, and Ye Chen can't help taking a few steps, staggering with it.
Although the town is not big, Ye Chen didn't move fast. He kept observing the situation in the town, so he arrived at the restaurant where they stayed last time after half an hour.
As soon as I walked in, it was the restaurant on the first floor. At this time, many guests were dining here. Ye Chen was not in a hurry. First, he found a free place to sit down, ordered some food, and began to listen to the conversations of the people around him.
Soon, he discovered an abnormal situation. There are about twenty people in the restaurant, and they continue to discuss the same thing without exception.
A few kilometers to the east of Wutian Town is the sea near the extreme north, and everyone present lives by going out to sea to fish.
According to everyone, when they all went out to sea, they all encountered a strange thing.
As for what this weird thing is, Ye Chen didn't hear any useful news. Everyone was silent and didn't dare to mention it easily.
There was a little doubt in Ye Chen's heart subconsciously. When he came last time, he heard someone mention this strange thing.
Unexpectedly, after more than four months, this strange incident has not disappeared, but more and more people have been encountered.
Continue to listen, obviously unable to get more useful information, so Ye Chen planned to ask someone to ask.
After looking around, he targeted the two people in the corner.
The two were also discussing the weird thing, but compared to the others, Ye Chen felt that their expressions were a little more kind.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen got up and leaned forward, folded his hands and folded his fists, and asked humbly: "Big brothers, what is the weird thing you are discussing?"
Ye Chen disguised his expression like others, and his eyes were slightly cold.
He was worried that if he behaved differently from ordinary people, it might arouse the other's vigilance.
After hearing the words, one of them turned his gaze to Ye Chen, still expressionless on his face, but asked in a very puzzled tone: "This little brother, things have spread in the town, don't you know?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "I have been practicing in retreat some time ago, and I just left the customs today. I never thought that everyone was discussing it along the way, so I was a little confused."
After saying this, Ye Chen felt the bodies of the two shake slightly. For some reason, a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
"This little brother, must not be from our small town, right?" The person who asked earlier said again, with a very certain tone.
Ye Chen's heart was suddenly startled, and he didn't know how the two of them saw it, "How did this big brother know?"
While asking aloud, he secretly mobilized his soul power to prepare for emergency.
But what Ye Chen did not expect was that the other party did not embarrass him, but explained in a kind tone: "Because you just said that you have been practicing in retreat for some time, but there is no one in our small town. Able to practice."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to be here.
But seeing the other party didn't mean to embarrass him, Ye Chen asked straightforwardly: "But why?"
The man rubbed his chin, seeming to be hesitating, but before he could think about whether he should say it or not, the other man spoke first.
"Because our town has been cursed."
