New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Outside the dim village, there was silence. However, in this silence, there was a tense atmosphere. A group of people sat around the campfire, their faces tense and anxious, looking around from time to time, waiting for their companions to return and alert to potential dangers.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew out the torches. Darkness instantly enveloped the entire venue, causing the seven people present to shudder. A sense of fear surged in their hearts, not knowing what this sudden darkness meant. However, when they relit the torches, they were stunned by the scene before them.

A man in white clothes, looking dishevelled, appeared in the middle of their encirclement! His hair was disheveled, covering his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance. What was even more surprising was that they had been sitting together and had never left the same place, and there was a carriage and six horses parked not far from them, but how did this man quietly enter their encirclement?

Luo Junchen was closest to the man. When the torch was relit, before his eyes had time to adjust to the light, he suddenly found a pale face in front of him. The horrible face made him scream uncontrollably, and the sound cut through the night sky, causing panic among others.

The moment everyone saw him, their faces changed and they all got goose bumps.

"You, who are you?"

Yongqi swallowed and asked in a deep voice.

Who is this person? How did he suddenly get into their encirclement? What happened to that gust of wind just now?

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were also frightened to the point of almost screaming. They held hands, their palms covered in cold sweat.

Anyaxin even grabbed Qianyue's hand and her face turned pale.

"I, I came here to seek revenge on you. You have caused me so much pain..."

The man looked up as if he heard something funny. He raised his head slowly, revealing a face that was so pale that it looked bloodless. The hair scattered on his face was a little gray and messy. At this time, the man raised his head and glanced at everyone. On that bloodless face, his lips slightly raised a cold arc. Every word he said made people feel as if they were in an ice cellar on a hot summer night.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who hurt you?"

Xiaoyanzi was quite frightened just now, but she couldn't help but refute when she heard the man's slander.

The man looked at her with a cold gaze, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his emotionless eyes, "Haha, as expected, beautiful women are good at lying. You deceived me so badly, you damn guys, you have harmed our entire village, and you still refuse to admit it, I will make you pay with your lives, pay with your lives!"

Speaking of the latter part, he changed from the slumped posture he had just been in to one that was dark and twisted, lying on the ground, his head looking towards Xiaoyanzi, his body straight facing Luo Junchen and the others, his hands and feet twisted as he crawled on the ground, the level of terror was at its highest, to the point of scaring people to the point of screaming.

Terrible, terrifying.

The night was deep, and the moon peeked out from behind the clouds. The silvery moonlight cast a faint shadow on the ground. At this time, the moonlight fell on the man's terrifying figure, which was enough to scare people out of their wits.

"You, give me your lives!" the man roared at the top of his lungs, crawling towards Xiaoyanzi and the others in an extremely twisted posture. Every step he took left a deep mark on the ground.

Xiaoyanzi and the others were terrified, their eyes widened and their mouths opened as if they could swallow the whole world. The terrifying aura emanating from the man in front of them made them feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, and their whole bodies went cold.

Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi and others who were originally sitting on the ground, no longer cared about their image and jumped up directly from the ground, wishing they could fly into the sky immediately. They screamed and retreated in panic.

Facing such a terrifying guy who could not communicate normally, everyone felt powerless. Although they were all martial arts masters with unique skills, they felt helpless in the face of such an enemy.

At this moment, they were no longer those majestic heroes, but a group of frightened ordinary people. Their legs were weak and they could hardly stand. They could only watch the man approaching step by step.

Finally, Xiaoyanzi and the others could no longer endure this fear, and they turned around and fled to the village without hesitation. Their steps were staggering and panic, as if countless evil spirits were chasing them. And the terrifying man laughed eerily behind them, making people shudder...

Not to mention that Xiaoyanzi and others rushed into the village in a panic, but not long ago, Erkang and Benjamin walked into a village that was obviously too abnormal with torches.

The village hidden in the darkness gradually revealed its true appearance under the illumination of torches.

This is not a very big village, with only about thirty households. When they first came in, they saw a boundary marker with the three big words "Happy Village" written on it.

But as soon as we entered the village, we obviously found something unusual. For example, it was too quiet. Everything in the village was normal. Every household had their doors closed, and it really looked like the villagers had turned off the lights and were resting. However, it was so quiet without any sounds from flowers, birds, fish or insects, which seemed quite weird.

Erkang tried to knock on the first door, but there was dead silence, no response except for the dull "dong dong dong" sounds that rang out in the night. Apart from the occasional conversation between Erkang and Benjamin, there was no other sound, and no one opened the door to check on the situation.

Erkang frowned and said to Benjamin beside him: "This village is so strange. Why is it so quiet? Is everyone fast asleep?"

Benjamin also felt something was wrong. He held a torch close to the window and tried to see through the gap, but the window was tightly closed and he could not see anything.

The two looked at each other and decided to keep going forward to see if there was anyone in other houses.

They went through several houses, but still no one responded to their knocks. The whole village seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Just then, a cold wind blew and blew out the torch in Erkang's hand.

Erkang was shocked and quickly lit another torch, but found that the atmosphere around him became even more eerie and terrifying.

He couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

Benjamin also became nervous. He whispered, "Should we go back to find Xiaoyanzi and the others? Something doesn't feel right here."

Erkang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, let's see what the situation is, and then we'll talk if we're sure there's any danger."

After saying that, he held up the torch and walked cautiously towards the depths of the village.

Benjamin followed closely behind, praying silently in his heart that he could quickly find a way out of this strange place.

Erkang and Benjamin looked at each other, and both of them were sure that this village was full of weirdness.

The two looked at each other and frowned.

They hesitated for a moment and did not open the door rashly. Instead, they decided to knock on the next door first.

However, what happened next made them feel increasingly confused and uneasy.

Every household was so silent, as if the entire village was shrouded in an invisible fear.

Reluctantly, they continued knocking on a few more houses, but the result was the same.

No one responded, only the hollow knocking sound echoed in the air.

Through the faint light of the torches, we can see fences in front of some villagers' houses. According to common sense, poultry and livestock should be raised in these places.

But at this moment, there was dead silence all around. Not only could no human voices be heard, but even the barking of dogs or the crowing of chickens could not be heard.

“It’s so weird…”

Benjamin muttered to himself. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the goose bumps on his body. An indescribable feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Erkang nodded, indicating that he agreed with Benjamin's opinion.

After the two exchanged glances, Erkang lowered his voice and said, "We can't keep knocking on the door like this. We have to find out what happened."

Benjamin agreed: "I think so too, so what should we do?"

Erkang thought for a moment and said, "Let's open a door and go in to have a look. Maybe we can find some clues."

Benjamin nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked to the fifth door and gently pushed it open.

However, when they saw the scene inside the house clearly, their faces suddenly turned pale and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

The scene before my eyes was so horrifying that it was beyond words to describe.

"Too, too crazy..."

Benjamin's voice was filled with fear and shock, as if he had lost his soul.
