Chapter 589: A Town Full of Dead People

Pu Yanlan glared at him, but heard Jie's wanton and triumphant laughter, with his blood stains on his exposed white fangs. Pu Yanlan's body flew farther and farther away, while Jie's figure became smaller and smaller. The two stared at each other until they could no longer see each other. Pu Yanlan sighed silently, turned around in mid-air, and flew towards the bright light.

She raised her hand and touched the wound on her lip.
“Shh…it hurts!”

He really did bite!
When she turned her head involuntarily, although she could no longer see anything, she knew that the man must still be standing there, laughing and looking at her!
Pu Yanlan bit her lip, turned around, and stared at the light. She saw the light in front of her getting closer and brighter, and closer and closer to the human world!

But suddenly, the corner of my eyes felt a little cold, and I raised my hand to touch it, and it was actually a tear!

I...why am I still crying?
Is it because we are about to reach the human world and meet Eleven?

After Pu Yanlan passed through the entrance, she couldn't help but look back again, only to see the bloody hole closing in front of her eyes.
"Is it just...closed like that?"

She was suspended there for a long time. In front of her was a large lake, a very large lake. The lake surface was frozen. Above her head, large snowflakes were slowly falling. The whistling cold wind blew on her body, bringing bone-chilling chill. Pu Yanlan looked up at the sky. In the sky with heavy snow, there were wisps of familiar spiritual energy dancing. She took a deep breath.

"I'm back in the human world!"

After the bright light at the end of the passage disappeared, Jie looked down at his lower abdomen, where there was a slight bulge.

"Don't worry, I will find her back!"

……

I'm back in the human world, but... where is this place?

Pu Yanlan flew in the air for a while. The lake beneath her feet was so vast that she almost suspected it was an ocean!

I didn't fall into another continent, did I?

Pu Yanlan saw a small island in the center of the lake. She landed on it and looked around. It was all white. She couldn't tell east, west, south, or north. She paused for a moment, then chose a direction and flew down...

She was very lucky. After flying for almost half a day, she finally saw the outlines of some buildings on the distant horizon. There seemed to be a pier on the nearby lake with several boats parked next to the pier. When she flew closer, she saw that the boats were empty and there was thick snow on the decks. It seemed that there was no human trace here!

But it’s not surprising. It’s snowing so heavily and in such a cold place that the lake is frozen. Even if there are fishermen, they should have gone home!
Pu Yanlan flew towards the building in front again. When she got closer, she saw that it was a small town. However, this small town was very strange. The four gates were wide open, but no one was seen going in or out. It was almost evening and the winter sky had already dimmed. It should have been time for everyone to light up the lamps at home, but the town was pitch black and strangely quiet!
Pu Yanlan released her divine sense to scan the city, but there was no sign of life.
“Is this an abandoned city?”

But if there is a city, it means that someone has lived there, and quite a few people. Let's go in and see if we can find any clues.
Pu Yanlan landed on the ground and walked into the open city gate. The streets of the small town were also covered with a thick layer of snow because no one had cleaned them. When Pu Yanlan stepped on them, there was a creaking sound that echoed in the empty streets and sounded very creepy.

Pu Yanlan walked on the thick snow for a while, then suddenly stopped and looked down at her feet. She slowly squatted down and pushed away the snow, only to see a dry hand suddenly appear below her.
"dead!"

She raised her eyebrows, raised her hands and touched them lightly.
"Red, come out!"

The red-clothed female ghost appeared in front of her in a flash.

"Owner!"

"Send out the little ones and look around. What's going on here?"

"Yes!"

The red-clothed female ghost immediately summoned her own little ghosts, who howled and turned into gusts of cold wind that blew into every corner of the small town. Soon they came back to report,

"Master, there are quite a few people here, but they are all dead. Judging from the situation, they have been dead for more than half a year!"

"Oh...are there any souls left?"

"No, he died completely, leaving nothing behind!"

"Nothing left?"

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows.
"Is it that someone has saved their souls, or is it that the ghost officials in the underworld are so skillful that they didn't miss a single soul?"

The red-clothed man is back, report,

"Master, the souls here don't look like they have been saved by someone, and some of them have external injuries, while others are completely unscathed. It seems like they died directly because their souls were taken away by someone..."

Pu Yanlan's brows tightened when she heard this. Another little ghost came back to report.

"Report, Master, there is a very powerful formation under this small town..."

"Array?"

Pu Yanlan became even more curious.
"But it's a formation that can capture people's souls?"

She thought someone had set up a formation to capture people's souls and practice evil magic!
"No, it looks like something is trapped inside..."

"A trap?" Pu Yanlan couldn't figure it out. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was already completely dark. She thought for a moment and said,
"Let's stay here tonight!"

The ghosts picked the largest and most imposing stone house in the city for their master.
"Master, this seems to be a palace, there are no dead people inside..."

Pu Yanlan followed and looked over, thinking,

"Why does it look a bit like the church in our world?"

This hall was built to be solid and imposing, but the interior was very simple. There were many small air windows on the four walls, and torches that had long been extinguished were stuck on the walls. There was nothing on the ground, only a huge stone human face carved out. The face had thin eyes and a huge nose, and there was a strange smile at the corners of its mouth. At first glance, it felt like there was an evil spirit.

"Just right here!"

Pu Yanlan released her three ghost generals and all the little ghosts and demon corpses to let them come out and move around. They must be feeling suffocated after being in the demon world for so long!
She herself entered the secret realm and told Lao Ma and Long Hun the good news that she had returned to the human world.
However, the bad news is that she doesn't know where she is now, which continent or which place she is in!
Dragon Soul heard this and said,
"It doesn't matter. As long as we return to the human world, we can find the way back!"

"Correct!"

Old Ma said happily,

"I'll go out and take a look tomorrow. There are dead bodies everywhere in this small town. Something big must have happened!"

He was completely suffocated in the secret realm, and even this little thing could make him so excited!

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Pu Yanlan took Lao Ma and Long Hun out of the secret realm. The fur balls were still sleeping. As for the three-legged toad couple, they sensed the change in the weather when Pu Yanlan returned to the human world. It was winter, and it was the time for them to hibernate. The couple dug a deeper hole, went in and slept in each other's arms. Naturally, they refused to come out with Pu Yanlan!
Old Ma said bitterly,
"Is it too hard to have a wife to carry you? When spring comes, I'll find one, and she'll give birth to a foal in the fall!"

Pu Yanlan smiled after hearing this, looked him up and down and asked,
"How old are you, old man? Can you still give birth?"

Old Ma was furious, his face flushed with anger, he waved his fists with indignation on his face.
"Don't look down on me. Who said I can't give birth? I'll give birth to a stable of cubs for you to see!"

If Gu Shiyi were here, he would definitely ask Lao Ma if he had the energy to do it.

Pu Yanlan was a reserved person, so she ignored Shiyi's flirtatious words and smiled.

"That's great, I'll be waiting for your little pony!"

As they were talking, Tong Ling came to report,
"Master, we have thoroughly explored this small town last night. There is not a single soul left here..."

I knew this a long time ago!

Tong Ling said again,

"The little ghosts discovered this underground building last night. The entrance is right under the main hall..."

Tong Ling pointed at the huge stone face under her feet.
"This is a mechanism. The little ghosts have already gone down to take a look. Now we are waiting for the master's instructions. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Pu Yanlan hadn't spoken yet, but Lao Ma and Long Hun both nodded and said,
"Of course I have to go down!"

"I have to go down and take a look!"

Pu Yanlan didn't really want to cause trouble, but for some reason, she always felt that there was something very important at this place, and she had to go and see it. If she didn't go, she would regret it for the rest of her life, so she hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Go down!"

Pu Yanlan had seen the layout of the hall and knew that the mechanism here should be induced by blood from the outside, and then opened by the people inside. However, she had countless little ghosts to drive, so there was no need for blood at all. She only needed the little ghosts to sneak underground and activate the mechanism from the inside.

"Squeaky..."

The huge human face on the ground opened its mouth, revealing a dark hole. The Dragon Soul was the first to go, flicking its tail and dashing down. The second was Old Ma, and then Pu Yanlan, who slowly walked down the stairs.
"Whoosh..."

This was the sound of the wind brought by the dragon soul moving around underground. Another old horse came in and twitched his nose.

"The smell here is so weird..."

"Why is it weird?"

The ghosts in Pu Yanlan's hands can go up to the sky and down to the earth, and can sense the yin and yang energy, but they cannot know the smell of things in the world of the living. Old Ma was born with a keen sense of smell, so he asked,
Old Ma frowned tightly.
"There's a smell of blood, and... a smell of burning flesh... and..."

He was about to take a closer look when the dragon spirit came back.

"I checked out the magic circle that the little ghosts found. It turned out to be an ancient Tianluo magic circle. It used 108 pillars, but it has been almost destroyed now. There should be six or seven star pillars still in operation..."

"Heavenly trap array?"
