Oh my god! I've become the vicious female supporting character's brother.

Yulin Village, village entrance.

Yu Jiaoyue volunteered to check the surrounding mountains and forests, while Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhenan secretly explored the village.

Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhen'an did not go to investigate directly, but observed Yulin Village in secret.

The sight was desolate and desolate. The fresh snow gradually melted, revealing the dark brown mud underneath.

There were about a hundred households in the village, and the doors and windows of every household were closed. There were no children playing in the village.

There are few people on the road.

It was not until dusk that a little smoke from cooking began to appear.

Apart from being poor, this village is also quiet, eerily quiet.

Maybe it was because of the evil spirits, no one stayed outside.

Tanaka didn't seem to be surprised.

It seems that we have to stay here for a while and wait for the villagers to sow seeds. Maybe we can find out what kind of evil spirit is causing this.

However, it is only March now and they don't have the patience to wait.

Since evil spirits appear from March to October every year.

Maybe we can find another way.

Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhen'an looked at each other, then returned to the mountains to meet Yu Jiaoyue.

The view here is wide and there are trees to shade them, so they can keep an eye on what is happening in Yulin Village at any time.

But after a while, Yu Jiaoyue came back.

Yu Xiangwan: "But what have you discovered?"

Yu Jiaoyue: "There are traces of monster footprints in the forest. It looks like they were left there not long ago."

Ye Zhen'an: "It seems that the monster is also constantly observing the movements in the village."

Yulin Village is surrounded by towering mountains and forests, which encircle and protect the village.

Yu Xiangwan looked around carefully again. It was quiet and dead all around. He said in a deep voice.

"wrong!"

Ye Zhen'an also said in unison at this time: "It's too quiet."

The two exchanged a solemn glance. Yu Jiaoyue also noticed something odd at this point.

"When I explored the area, not only did I not see any trace of monsters, I didn't even see any snakes, insects, rats or ants."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangwan became even more alert. The absence of common, unintelligent animals like snakes, insects, rats and ants could only mean that an advanced strangulation array had been set up with Yulin Village as the center, spreading over a radius of more than ten miles.

Any living creature in this formation will be strangled to death.

But the strange thing is that they stayed in this formation for several hours but did not activate it...

Yu Jiaoyue carefully sensed it for a long time before saying, "I can't sense the existence of any formation."

The three of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Yu Jiaoyue was now close to being a fourth-rank formation master. If it was an ordinary fifth or sixth-rank formation, due to the formation master's sensitivity to formations, even if someone accidentally entered it carelessly, as long as they carefully sensed it, there would be a subtle connection anyway.

Even Yu Jiaoyue couldn't sense it now, and she was not a careless person.

All I can say is that this formation is at least level seven or above.

Yu Jiaoyue observed the surroundings vigilantly and analyzed:

"Any living creature that enters the strangulation array will be strangled instantly, and this array allows only entry but no exit."

"But there are still villagers living in the village, and the three of us were able to enter normally and were not immediately strangled."

"It seems they want to bring in a steady stream of people for the evil spirit to feast on."

Given the situation here, why did they only record that evil spirits appeared from March to October when they accepted the mission, and no one was injured?

Either the intelligence was false, or all the secular disciples residing near Yulin Village were under control.

Either way, it's bad.

"Brother, this isn't just a strangulation formation. There should be another formation that allows living people to enter."

Yu Xiangwan nodded. With two high-level formations combined into one, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage might be defeated here. The power of the three of them alone was too insignificant.

Yu Jiaoyue took out the jade token to send a message without giving up, but sure enough, the signal was cut off.

Ye Zhen'an: "Let's go. No need to observe in the dark, let's go to the villagers' homes and take a look."

Yu Xiangwan and Yu Jiaoyue followed Ye Zhen'an and flew towards the center of the village.

The three of them arrived one after another, and by this time the sky had become completely dark.

But no one in the village lit a lamp, and there was no sound at all.

The sky and the earth were the same color, as dark as ink, and no one noticed the three people who suddenly appeared in the village.

Yu Xiangwan frowned and listened attentively.

"Although there is a smell of strangers in every house, something is wrong."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen'an released his spiritual sense to sense carefully. He only sensed roughly in the village and did not dare to rashly probe into the villagers' homes for fear of alerting the enemy. After a long while, he said:

"No heartbeat."

Who has no heartbeat?

"They're all zombies!"

Although it is recorded in the Fuyao files, it has not appeared for a thousand years.

Yu Jiaoyue's voice was trembling at this time. After all, she was just a young girl. It was inevitable that she was scared when she suddenly learned that the village was full of dead people who had been made into puppets.

The reason they didn't notice it at first was because all the puppet corpses were infused with the breath of the living, which misled them.

Puppets with the breath of the living are called zombies. They will remember the first command given to them by the zombie creator and repeat it every day.

No wonder no one goes out during the day and there are few pedestrians in the evening.

The three of them separately explored the homes of the villagers.

Although spiritual awareness is useful, sometimes the naked eye is more discerning.

Yu Xiangwan went to the first house. Yu Xiangwan remembered that this was the first person to go out in the evening. He was a middle-aged man dressed simply.

Mud house, broken paper windows.

Yu Xiangwan did not open the door without permission. He walked carefully to the tattered paper window. It was pitch black inside and outside the house. It seemed that this formation also had the effect of suppressing cultivators, making them become like ordinary people when they did not use their spiritual power and consciousness.

As if tempting someone to use spiritual sense to explore the house, Yu Xiangwan became more cautious.

He quickly used his spiritual sense to contact Yu Jiaoyue and Ye Zhenan, telling them not to use their spiritual sense and spiritual power recklessly, and not to push the door open blindly.

Yu Jiaoyue had her hand on the wooden door when she received the message from her brother. She retracted her hand in fear and took two steps back.

Yu Xiangwan continued his investigation only after getting answers from the two.

He bent down quietly and pressed his eyes against the broken window, but the room was still pitch black and he could not see anything.

That's not right. No matter how much it is suppressed by the formation, it shouldn't be so that it can't be seen at all.

With the help of the starlight, Yu Xiangwan observed attentively.

The room was no longer completely dark, but instead had a brown outer circle, while the inside was still dark.

Yu Xiangwan continued to look inside through the window, and all he saw was a brownish-brown color.

No, brown...

The moment Yu Xiangwan flew out of the way, the paper window broke apart, and the torn paper window was lying in pieces around.

Standing at the window was a bloody man with a foul smell all over his body.

His eyes were fixed on Yu Xiangwan's direction, looking into Yu Xiangwan's eyes.

Yu Xiangwan's heart stopped for a moment.

No one mentioned that this room can also isolate odors!

No wonder he couldn't observe what was happening inside the house. It turned out that he was looking into the eyes of a dead person the whole time.

so horrible!

Yu Xiangwan flew away trembling under the lifeless gaze of the zombies. Wherever he went, the zombies' eyes followed him fixedly.

He silently recited the calming technique in his mind, and after calming down, he continued to explore the next house.

But this time he didn't dare to press his face against the window again.

After exploring the entire area within his range, Yu Xiangwan went from being horrified at first to being numb later.

In every room, there was a bloody man standing at the window. If anyone approached him, he would stare at them with his expressionless dead eyes.

It seems that this formation is really linked together.

First, false information was passed on to lure the cultivators to come. In the evening, some villagers went out, making people mistakenly believe that this village was still a normal village with living people.

Even if someone discovered something abnormal later like they did, a normal person would go to the village to find someone to find out what happened.

However, no villagers go out except after dusk, so the only way to get in is to knock on the door.

If he were more vigilant, he would use his spiritual sense to probe into the house and check, but in fact, this was also part of the evil plan.

Then there are people like Yu Xiangwan, who are so cautious that they don't use spiritual sense to investigate, but observe with their naked eyes, and then get frightened when they meet the dead person's eyes. Generally, in this situation, they will instinctively and subconsciously fight back with spiritual power.

Then you will be trapped again, and the spiritual power will be used to penetrate into the house.
