Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 269 Another Group of Uninvited Guests

"Looking at this strange fog, I think there's a ghost wall in the village. The stories about Zhuangjia Town and Zhaojia Village were all over the place a while ago. The similarities were that both were filled with fog and had ghost walls that were difficult to break through. I think this village is probably the same."

"I think so too. Those who went in before might not be dead. They are just temporarily trapped and unable to escape."

"Uncle Chen, what do you think?"

Uncle Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark, deserted village in the distance. The moonlight wasn't very bright tonight, so he could only vaguely see the village's outline. The fog obscured the view, making it even more difficult to see clearly. He said, "It's hard to say without getting closer to inspect it. However, judging by the situation, there's a high possibility of a ghost wall."

After hearing this, others continued to speak.

"I told you, there must be a ghost wall. Those people are really unlucky. I don't know if they can get out alive."

"Tsk~ This isn't bad luck, it's what they deserve. Those weren't good people, and their death is just one less source of trouble."

"So we're just going to leave this evil spirit alone? If an innocent person gets in, they'll lose their life in vain."

"Heh~ There are no innocent people. This village has been deserted for a long time. Who would come here? If they do, it's just bad luck. It's better to mind your own business right now. We have to hurry into the Black Forest tomorrow. After we complete this mission and come out, you can intervene if you want."

"That's right. I heard the evil spirit in that ancient tomb is quite powerful. We need to save our energy to deal with it. There's no need to cause trouble now."

"Okay... Speaking of which, those two men who went in earlier were a bit strange. Did they lead people here intentionally? Or was it accidental? I wonder if they noticed the strangeness of this village beforehand?"

"Who knows, but judging by the situation, I think I've gotten myself into trouble."

……

The group of people were discussing with each other. There was only light and sound here, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Time passed slowly, and there was still no movement in the deserted village in the distance, so they took a rest and took turns to keep watch.

Early in the morning, as soon as it was light, they got up early, washed up simply, and ate dry food while looking at the deserted village in the distance.

As the sky brightened, the quiet deserted village became increasingly visible. At this moment, the strange gray fog seemed to have faded a lot, as if it was about to dissipate.

It was not until the sun rose from the horizon that the light mist completely dissipated, as if this was just an ordinary deserted village, but they all knew that the evil in the village might have just hidden itself, and there was a hidden danger inside.

They didn't mind their own business and after filling their stomachs, they set off.

As they left, they looked back at this strange deserted village, and there was still no movement.

……

In the deserted village, Liu Mao walked out of the house when the sun was rising. At this moment, he could still feel the cold air coming from the yard next door. He trembled subconsciously, then hurried out of the yard and walked towards the village.

He still remembered Ning Ji's instructions last night to collect the body.

Thinking about it, he felt depressed and walked towards the village helplessly.

As I walked out of the yard, the bright sunshine shone on my body, making me feel warm, as if it had dispelled the lingering coldness and made me feel comfortable all over.

However, when he saw the corpse on the village road, for some unknown reason, a slight chill rose in his heart again.

It wasn't that the bodies looked unusual, nor were they ugly. He had killed people before and had seen many corpses, so he was used to them. However, recalling the scene when Ning Ji and Si He returned last night, it was obvious that these people had died at Si He's hands and had been her sparring partners.

It is common to practice martial arts and kill people, but what is unusual is that he didn't hear any movement last night. It is obvious that there is an evil creature helping in secret.

Being able to control evil things in this way is truly terrifying.

No wonder the two of them were able to come out of that dangerous ancient tomb unscathed, and were so calm about the bandits' pursuit yesterday.

Liu Mao sighed in his heart and could only deal with the corpse first.

He first searched the body, took the purse and valuables, then found a dry well in the village and threw the body into it.

Then he dragged the other bodies over and threw them all into the dry well, eight in total. When he finished the work, he was exhausted. Fortunately, he had looted a lot of valuables, which made him feel a little better.

There were eight fine horses in the village, which he tied up in a grassy yard to keep for the time being, and then take them to the city to sell them.

The sun rises and sets, and the day passes quickly.

The deserted village was peaceful for a day, but in the evening, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

Liu Mao, who had been standing guard at the village entrance, was the first to spot the troops running towards them.

This is another member of the Cheetah Gang!

As soon as he saw the clothes these people were wearing and the equipment on their horses, he recognized them at a glance. After all, he had dealt with corpses and horses today and was deeply impressed!

This aggressive posture clearly shows that they have found out about this!

Liu Mao immediately ran back to the courtyard behind the village and shouted, "Oh no! The Cheetah Gang is here!"

Ning Ji looked at Liu Lie at the gate and asked, "How many people are here?"

Liu Mao panted and said, "A group! More than ten! They obviously came prepared!"

"understood."

Ning Ji's expression remained calm, and Si He beside him did not react much either.

Seeing this, Liu Mao felt relieved. It seemed that he didn't need to take action. He quietly retreated to the yard next to him and hid there like he did yesterday. As soon as he entered his yard, he vaguely heard noises coming from the village. Those people were entering the village!

He quickly closed the gate, and the next moment, a chill suddenly swept over him. When the chill reached his heart, he shuddered, and then his heartbeat subconsciously accelerated, and a strange sense of fear followed. He didn't dare to look or stay any longer, so he just gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to run back into the house.

When he returned to the house, he felt a little relieved, as if he was out of danger.

Damn, this weird evil thing is so scary!

Liu Mao was breathing lightly, crouching down, lying by the window, and secretly peeking out. He saw that there was some gray fog in the air outside, which was thicker than last night. It was so foggy that he couldn't see clearly.

This is so weird!

It only took a blink of an eye, right?

Liu Mao swallowed, frightened.

At this time, the group of people who entered the village were also confused.

They had received news that Li Datou's group had disappeared while hunting two fat sheep. They made inquiries and followed the last trace to find this place. Just now, they saw a sentry outside the village hurriedly running back to the village. They knew something was wrong here, so they gave chase.

When they entered this deserted village, they were a little surprised and curious. They didn't expect that the two fat sheep were hiding here, and Li Datou and his men were probably dead here.
