Chapter 736 Dead City and Dead People
When the general circulation in the body was slowly restored, Yuling also woke up.
After all, his subconscious was still very tight, so how could he fall into a coma peacefully?
According to his own vague perception, he lost consciousness for only a few minutes at most, but the scene in front of him had become completely different.
What was a dark and gloomy forest a moment ago has now turned into a simple thatched house.
"Are you awake?" An extremely hoarse voice came from beside him, like two pieces of rusty iron scraping together.
Yu Ling immediately sat up. The wooden bed underneath seemed to have decayed for a long time and made a harsh creaking sound, as if it could not bear his weight.
Standing beside the bed was an old, decrepit old woman. The wrinkles and spots on her face almost concealed her true appearance, as if she was eighty or ninety years old and was about to be laid to rest.
She grinned with a kind smile, but for some reason it made people feel a little creepy. Perhaps it was because the smile was too stiff and stiff, and paired with the blank and blank gaze, it would make anyone else feel cold all over.
If this old woman appeared on the road in the middle of the night, she might be mistaken for a ghost.
"Excuse me, are you..." Yu Ling looked at the old woman carefully and subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this person.
But there was no murderous intention or malice in her body, so Yu Ling was not in a hurry to act rashly, and planned to observe and observe first.
Nian Yubai is not here, Nian Yufeng is not here, and Little Fox is not here either. Could it be that the special space node was also randomly disrupted and teleported?
However, since they were all above Illusion God level, Yu Ling was not particularly anxious or worried.
As if she didn't hear his question, the old woman turned around stiffly and brought over a bowl of black medicinal soup, which exuded a slightly bitter grassy smell.
She still had that stiff smile on her face, like a puppet: "You are injured, drink this quickly."
"Thank you, no need. My injury is almost healed." Of course, Yu Ling cannot drink anything here randomly. Besides, his recovery power has always been strong, and a few minutes is enough to heal the previous injuries.
"You are injured, drink this quickly." The old woman continued to repeat mechanically, without even the slightest change in the expression on her face.
Yu Ling had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. He thought it was because the old woman was deaf, so he repeated what he just said at a louder volume.
"You are injured, drink this quickly." Unexpectedly, the old woman completely turned a deaf ear and continued to say persistently.
Yu Ling gently got off the bed and walked to the door. The old woman also moved her steps to follow him, like a wisp of mechanical ghost.
When the old woman repeated that sentence for the Nth time, Yu Ling felt helpless and reached out to take the medicine bowl.
The old woman's state changed. She smiled stiffly and kindly and said: "Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
Yu Ling held the ice-cold porcelain bowl and was speechless for a while.
But strangely enough, when he took the porcelain bowl into his hands, the medicinal soup in the bowl suddenly changed drastically. The original bitter smell of grass and trees instantly turned into a rancid smell, and even numerous disgusting smells could be seen.
small black bugs crawling in the water.
Even if there is no poison in this stuff, something will happen to a normal person if he drinks it, right?
Yu Ling smelled it lightly and could barely identify the smell of several spiritual herbs, such as lingshencao and tianyuhua, which indeed had a certain effect on recovering injuries, but...
But you can imagine the consequences of a piece of food left exposed in the air and expired for several years.
Yu Ling looked around the simple house again, when a gust of wind blew from the window, blowing the bed he had just been lying on into a piece of dust and powder.
Yu Ling couldn't help but feel something in her heart. Why did she feel... everything here seemed to have been decayed for thousands of years?
"Drink slowly and be careful not to burn it." The old woman in front of me was still repeating dully.
Yu Ling finally realized what his strange feeling was.
This old woman is like an NPC that has been programmed in advance, and the program is extremely crude. She can only say a few words step by step.
Yu Ling opened the door and threw the medicine bowl out, but there was no "clang" sound.
Because the porcelain bowl had turned into fly ash after leaving his hand, and only the foul-smelling black soup splashed onto the ground along with the squirming insects.
The old woman's expression changed again, and she asked dully: "Why don't you drink?"
Yu Ling no longer had the intention to quarrel with her anymore, so she ducked directly to the courtyard outside the door.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back. The wooden door also decayed in an instant and turned into countless flying debris.
It seemed as if everything he touched would come to an end in a very short period of time.
"Why don't you drink?" The old woman appeared in front of him like a ghost, and the breeze lifted her trouser legs, revealing the white bones.
Looking at her thin body, Yu Ling felt awe-struck for a moment. Could it be that this old woman's legs were only bones, or that she was a dead person?
Yes, the aura of death, she was enveloped in an extremely strong aura of death.
Yu Ling completely understood why he felt very uncomfortable when he first saw this old woman, because he was a living person and the old woman was dead.
When anger meets death, there will naturally be fierce rejection.
After realizing this, Yu Ling felt that the whole world was filled with a deathly aura.
The sky here is gray, the ground is gray, and even the people are as dull and mechanical as zombies. This is undoubtedly a dead city.
Yu Ling is an outlier here.
He calmed down and looked inside his body, faintly feeling that the vitality in his body was slowly being assimilated, or absorbed, by this dead city.
Just like boiling a frog in warm water, maybe if he stays here for ten or more years, all his life will disappear and he will become a dead person without knowing it.
It's just that Yuling can't believe it. This is the lost ancient city mentioned in the bonus mission?
What’s the point of the competition committee asking everyone to search for this place?
"Why don't you drink?" The old woman's faint voice brought Yu Ling back from her thoughts.
She didn't have any impatience or anger, she just repeated the same words over and over again, as if she would never get tired of it.
Of course the dead never get tired.
Yu Ling made the seal, and the cocoon veil tightly wrapped the old woman in place. He also took this opportunity to escape and came to the streets outside the dead city.
Deserted and empty.
This is Yuling's deepest impression of this city.
Even though there are some figures walking on the streets, they are just dead people.
"I can't find it, I can't find it..." A wandering woman floated past Yu Ling, murmuring with dull eyes.
Yu Ling couldn't help but glance at her. Unexpectedly, the woman immediately turned her face and stared at him. Her expression instantly became extremely vicious, and she screamed: "Give me back my child!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Ling frowned, and with a flash of blue light from his domain skill, he knocked the woman away.
She fell to the ground with a "bang", and her body was instantly weathered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, only a wisp of gray mist was left faintly floating in the air.
Yu Ling felt a chill all over his body, and the floating air of death and resentment seemed to be related to him. Even though his blood energy quickly dispersed all the foreign objects, it was undeniable that he was still quite affected.
It seems that it is better not to have too much contact with these "dead people" unless necessary.
Yu Ling was thinking about it when she suddenly saw a figure turning the corner of the street from the corner of her eye.
