Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 71 The Old Town
Dark clouds covered the pale crimson moonlight.

Chen Ye's figure appeared at the intersection of the old town.

This is his first time acting in the night.

Looking inside, compared with the bustling pedestrian street behind, the old town is dark and quiet.

It's like two different worlds.

Observing with the pupil of luck, the blood light lingering around the old city is obviously much dimmer than during the day.

When Chen Ye came to the intersection, he took a special look at his aura of luck.

The glazed lines around the three-color ring became brighter.

Of course, it also includes the blood light, which is more prominent and more active, as if endowed with life...

It's just that the bloody light is not very close to the black evil spirit. Instead, it looks like it wants to swallow someone else with a big mouth.

"Generally speaking, if the blood light is combined with the black evil spirit and surrounds the top of the head, it means that the person involved has a blood light disaster."

"But if it's pure blood, it needs to be judged in combination."

"This bloody light faintly appeared near my mouth, maybe the source of the bloody light...is me!"

Chen Ye noticed that the blood on his body was fundamentally different from the players he had encountered before, so he made a little judgment and confirmed that the situation was normal.

He didn't hesitate any longer, kept his wandering pace, and entered the old town.

At this moment, the golden parchment in my mind automatically appeared in front of my eyes.

clank!

It seems that there is a loud bell ringing sound, echoing in the ears.

Suddenly, the parchment scroll erupted with a miraculous brilliance, and the mist in front of the bloody red dot instantly dissipated, and the ink-colored lines winding like black snakes were gradually outlined on the top of the golden paper.

The overall outline of the old city is presented in a corner of the [Wandering Map].

The bloody red dot where Chen Ye was standing was a relatively wide intersection, which could accommodate two cars driving side by side.

Passing through the main road, branch-like forks appear continuously, extending towards the complex and criss-crossed old city, reaching the upper reaches of the Xijiang River.

A few decades ago, the old city was still a prosperous area, and many older generations liked to buy houses there.

However, with the development of the times and the continuous development of new areas, it is difficult to demolish all the old buildings gathered here, and gradually develop into a village in the city. Most of the people living here are empty nesters, left-behind children, poor households suffering from diseases, People at the bottom with no savings...

Chen Ye stepped into the old city while observing the shape of the halo of luck above his head.

At this moment, a faint smell of blood wafted in the air.

It was mixed with the stench of some kind of animal corpse rotting, as well as the smell of acid and vomit...

Chen Ye frowned. After his sense of smell became sharper, he became more sensitive to these smells. Compared with ordinary people, the smells he smelled would be more indescribable.

However, with this ability, Chen Ye was able to distinguish the different substances that these smells came from while concentrating.

Although the understanding of this world is not particularly deep, it is impossible to accurately determine the specific species, but it can probably determine what it is.

Even mixed smells can be analyzed and classified.

Chen Ye remained vigilant, walking on this main road with a sense of time, looking around from time to time to check the surrounding environment.

In the past, there were old grocery stores on both sides of the old town, selling large iron pots that were used decades ago, blessing paper, objects for burning incense and worshiping gods, etc...

Since the bloody countdown came, most of the shops were closed and almost abandoned.

Some shops even collapsed in half, weeds grew from the broken yellow mud wall bricks, and the dark buildings oppressed from both sides, like the shadows of demons.

Walking a few steps deeper, Chen Ye suddenly found some scattered pieces of meat scattered on the road.

He took out the bloody mobile phone, and with the help of the faint light from the screen, he could clearly see that there were still blood stains left on the ground. It seemed that it was still left today, but it was already dried to black.

The bloodstains were distributed in dots. It didn't look like the blood was sprayed from the main artery after being fatally injured. It was more like being bitten by some horrible thing, and the blood rained down all over the sky...

Not only the ground, but even the walls of the surrounding shops, and even the edges of the roofs of some low tile-roofed houses, have this kind of blood stains.

Chen Ye frowned slightly. In the picture of the pupil of luck, he saw a huge black shadow dancing in the old city like a demon, as if a cheerful and raging killing was going on... The ring of luck faintly Gives a feeling of uneasiness.

Fortunately, this black shadow has already left, and it is just a trace left before, which has turned into a unique image of luck, lingering like a phantom for a short time, but dissipating soon.

"Did it happen this morning?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of the early morning, when he looked at the old city, there was a thick bloody river in that area... He instinctively felt the crisis from it, so he didn't go to the old city to check the situation immediately.

Thinking about it now, my intuition at the time was correct, but would it be dangerous during the day?
But now, the danger here seems to have been swept away by that existence, and it has become safer instead.

His eyes couldn't help falling on the minced meat on the ground, he leaned over to inspect it closely, smelled it with his nose, and suddenly his pupils shrank...

These minced meat belong to humans!
Of course, this so-called "human being" is not necessarily a "human being", but only has the form of a human being.

Those barbecue stall owners also have human appearances, but in "Weird Times", all existences are basically weird, but the forms and rules of existence are different.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether these pieces of human flesh came from the barbecue stall owner, or from the diners who swallowed the black barbecue and then entered the old city.

perhaps……

Both!
At this moment, on the main road of the old city, the halo of luck split into a white mist, extending towards the front.

There are only sporadic ink embellishments, but it doesn't feel particularly dangerous.

"Could it be that I didn't gain anything from my visit this time?" Chen Ye looked at the road shrouded in white mist, and couldn't help but complain.

Crisis and harvest coexist.

He came this time to hunt special items!

Without crisis, where is the harvest?

Chen Ye walked forward along the white mist, and when he came to the main road, he suddenly found a faint scarlet line, which was particularly conspicuous, extending from the fork on the left to the dark and narrow residential area.

Compared with the shops on both sides of the main road, there are more poor people living here.

There are many old-fashioned single-family houses, like low human heads, forming a natural shelter.

Chen Ye walked carefully in this area. These buildings provide a good cover. If you play hide-and-seek here, it is an excellent place!

at this time.

He saw that in the halo of luck above his head, the blood light suddenly became thicker!

It turned into a bloody blade, about to strike down...

Chen Ye's face burst open in an instant, turning into the form of [The Devourer], with one eye looking forward and the other looking backward, gaining a 360-degree field of vision.

The crimson moonlight suddenly appeared in the clouds, and the faint blood mist shone not far behind Chen Ye, on the two figures in tattered and ragged clothes with blood on the corners of their mouths...
