There were no signs, no proof.
But Tianyang believed in his own judgment. When he passed the half-damaged gate, he did feel something unusual.
He felt like he was stepping into someone else's territory, but he also believed that he had not attracted the owner's attention.
Otherwise, he would have felt more than just a slight heaviness.
Tianyang didn't know whether this feeling came from the intuition of the Ascendant or the warning from the Obsidian Furnace. Anyway, it was a good thing to get a "warning" first.
Further speculation.
The reason why Cangdu couldn't get in touch with Liang Sen, and didn't take the initiative to contact him, was it possible that he was discovered by the "master" and then "invited" to be a guest
After calming down, Tianyang began to explore. He passed by a car wreck with only its frame left, and carefully avoided a patch of fat and grayish fungi on the ground. He began to go deeper into this village, a certain territory of existence.
In a short while, he saw bones scattered on the road, on the dry riverbed, and piled up next to the broken lamp posts...
And these are what he didn't perceive just now!
Tianyang took out the communicator and tried to contact Liang Sen, but the instrument kept showing interference. It seemed that there was a force in this territory that could interfere with electronic signals and perceptions.
Quack—
Suddenly, an unpleasant cry sounded from a dark building not far away. The building was very large. Looking through the open door, there was a large open space inside.
At the other end of the open space, there are several buildings side by side, all four or five stories high.
On the middle floor, two big characters were erected on the rooftop.
primary school!
Of course, these scenes were only seen by Tianyang using the extended thoughts of the black fog. Otherwise, in this environment, if you want to see clearly, you have to at least release a flare into the sky.
Just put up the flares and the owner of this territory will probably know.
"primary school?"
Tianyang shook his head. He didn't quite understand the meaning of the two words. He just understood the literal meaning and the layout of the building in front of him.
This should be a place similar to a college.
If this is the case, Tian Yang couldn't help but be surprised. The education level of the residents in the Reverse Realm seems to be quite high. Even such a small village is equipped with a college.
This is unimaginable in the fortress, which shows how huge the resources this world had before it slipped into darkness.
Putting away his envy, Tianyang "saw" another tree.
A strange tree.
It was inside a building that might be a college, in the open space behind the gate. The 'tree' was very tall, with layers of 'leaves' draped down.
There was obviously no wind, but the leaves on the trees kept shaking from time to time.
Suddenly, a group of leaves on the tree rose and fell violently, and suddenly turned into a black bird and flew up.
The bird made an unpleasant cry, flew away, and a few feathers fell from the air.
One of them fell at Tianyang's feet.
He squatted down and examined the feather.
The feathers were dark in color, wet on the surface, and had yellow oil stains that seeped out of the feathers and emitted a foul odor.
Tianyang frowned, and when he looked at the strange tree again, his eyes became a little serious.
That tree is not a tree, but a pile of countless black birds.
Just be like a tree.
No normal animals have been found in the reverse world, so it is basically certain that these black birds should be some kind of undiscovered dark people.
Judging from their appearance, there is a high probability that they belong to the Old Black People. After all, the characteristic of the Old Black People is that they retain ancient features and have no signs of evolution.
Tianyang was not going to alarm the group of strange black birds, nor did he have the intention to hunt them. After all, he entered the village to search for Cangdu and carry out necessary rescue.
Everything should be based on this goal as the priority, there is no need to create unnecessary complications.
restraint.
It is also a quality that every night walker should have.
keep going.
Tian Yang soon discovered that the black fog on the street seemed to be getting thicker. He could have used the black fog to extend his perception. The thick black fog actually helped to extend his perception, but now, his perception was restricted and could not be effectively extended, just like hitting an invisible wall.
He had no choice but to slow down, explore carefully, and then move forward.
I would rather go slow than cause any changes or attention.
Not long after, Tianyang made a discovery.
There is a restaurant in front. There are many pictures posted at the door of the restaurant. These things have long been covered with thick dust, but in some corners, patterns of bread, drinks, etc. can still be seen.
However, Tianyang was not concerned about these patterns, but a person lying on the steps at the restaurant's entrance.
This man, wearing the protective suit of the Night Stalker Squad, is a soldier!
Tianyang picked up a stone at his feet and threw it over, but the soldier didn't react at all.
He felt sad in his heart. In this situation, the soldier was most likely dead.
He walked over anyway, looked around carefully, and turned the soldier over.
Sure enough, the soldier's protective suit was torn open, exposing the body underneath. His chest was gouged by a sharp object, and the torn flesh was floating in the pool of blood on the steps.
The blood has not yet coagulated, which means that the soldier died not long ago.
The soldier's helmet was also badly damaged, and the skin on his face was torn off, revealing the flesh beneath the skin. It was a horrible sight.
Tianyang sighed softly in his heart, fumbled around the soldier's chest, took off a nameplate, put it away and left.
Just as he stood up, Tianyang suddenly sensed something, and the Moonlight was unsheathed in an instant. As he swung his arm back, it suddenly slashed to the side.
A black shadow that rushed out from the restaurant door was cut into two pieces.
Plop, plop—
The sounds of liquid and heavy objects falling to the ground rang out one after another. With the help of the black fog, Tianyang explored the mass on the ground and constructed its shape.
It was a strange black bird, about the size of an eight or nine-year-old child, with dense, oily yellow feathers all over its body.
It actually has human arms, hands, and sharp claw-like nails.
Its head looks like a human. If you look closely, it seems that this human face is pasted on
hiss-
Tianyang took a deep breath, used the moonlight to lift up the face, and found that it was actually a human skin.
After it fell off, a strange face with no skin and only red flesh was revealed.
At this moment, the strange bird with a human face began to decompose, turning into mud inch by inch, and the last feather like crystal remained.
Tianyang reached out to touch it, and some information appeared.
Crow Man Feather: This is what is left behind by the Crow Man after his death
The creature has the characteristics of a crow-man making noises. Using dark particles can make it emit noises that cannot distinguish between friend and foe. This sound can make people feel irritated and make them behave irrationally.
... ... .
So these human-faced birds are Crowmen, and they are noisy? Judging from the abilities of the relics, they don't seem to be very dangerous, at best they are a little more difficult to deal with than the Prowlers.
However, there were quite a few Crowmen on the 'tree' just now. They probably won by numbers, but even so, it was not enough to keep Cangdu.
Therefore, the danger in the village must come from something else!
Although it was of little use, Tianyang still kept this relic as a new species that had not been discovered.
When you go back and write a report, it will be a great achievement.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, a ray of light flashed briefly in the distance.
Tianyang put away the moonlight and walked quickly forward.
After walking a dozen meters, another ray of light appeared, and this time he saw it clearly. It was a house, and light briefly shone through a window on the first floor of the house.
Tianyang quickly came to the side of the building and used the black fog to sense the scene inside.
Soon, the black fog constructed a corresponding model.
This is a small living room. The furniture is overturned, the wallpaper is peeling off, and a chandelier is only barely connected by a few wires, but fortunately it has not fallen down.
In the middle of the living room, there were several Crowmen gathered together. Two legs stretched out from the side of one of the Crowmen.
Human legs, wearing protective clothing, should be a soldier of Cangdu.
Tianyang adjusted the details of the black fog model and saw that the crows were pecking at the soldier's chest, causing the soldier's body to twitch from time to time.
It seems that the flash of light just now appeared because the corpse was twitching and accidentally pressed down some lighting equipment.
In the black fog model, a crow man suddenly flew up, with a piece of human skin hanging on a sharp nail on its human arm.
It was peeled off the soldier's face. The Crow Man let out an excited but extremely unpleasant cry and hung the human skin on his own face.
As the muscles on its face moved, it was as if soldiers came alive inside its body, and Tianyang almost wanted to rush in and kill these crow men.
He suppressed the urge to kill and left the building silently. At this moment, his communicator suddenly received a text message.
'Anyone got the message? This is Cangdu, we are trapped...'
... ... .
Cangdu, who had forgotten how many times he had sent text messages, put down the device after sending this message and looked around.
His team members looked depressed. Not only the soldiers, but even the Ascendants looked quite ugly.
They are now in a small warehouse, with shelves and wooden boxes blocking the door and windows, but this does not give anyone much sense of security.
In the open space not far away, there were three people lying. One was an ascender, and two were soldiers. They were all injured, but not dead yet. Cang Du had already given them emergency treatment, but if they could not get timely treatment, even if they could survive, they would have serious sequelae.
A member of the Sublimator team opened his mouth to say something, but Cangdu covered his mouth. He typed a line of text on the communicator: Don't make any noise, those things are nearby, they are very sensitive to sound and will discover us.
The team member nodded, then his expression changed and he pointed at Cangdu's communicator.
Cang Du looked at it and saw on the screen that he had received a reply!
