Chapter 278 Leaving the Deserted Village

Looking at these clean swords, there were very few blood stains. Although they could not rule out the possibility that they had been cleaned, they were more inclined to another hypothesis. These swords were only used to deal with evil spirits...

They didn't say much. When estimating the value of the goods, they didn't underestimate it too much, for fear of offending others and making it difficult to leave. After all, this is someone else's territory. If evil things are really used against them, even if they have means of self-defense, they will probably suffer!

After quickly settling the payment, they hurriedly left the place and only breathed a sigh of relief after they were far away.

After selling the things, Liu Mao was relieved. Although the merchants in the black market were relatively reputable, there was no guarantee that there would not be cases of black-on-black robbery, so he would rather suffer some losses and pay more money to have someone come to collect the goods.

Here, they dare not make any move. If they really do, the man in the village is his support. It should not be a problem to keep all these people. But it is better to avoid trouble if possible.

Liu Mao turned around and went back to the village, handing the proceeds from the sales to Ning Ji. He also handed over most of the property he had looted from the corpses, but Ning Ji only took half of it. The rest was considered a benefit for him, and he happily kept it. If there is money to be made, it would be better to take it!

It was a calm night.

Early in the morning, before daybreak, Ning Ji and Si He packed up their things, mounted their horses and left the deserted village.

Originally they planned to stay for a while longer, but there have been too many things going on these days, and they were afraid that there would be more trouble in the future, making it difficult to have peace and quiet, so they had to move to another place.

Liu Mao sleepily held up his heavy eyelids and followed the horse to leave. His daily routine had been very chaotic these days and he didn't get enough sleep, but there was nothing he could do, he had to leave!

A group of three rode their horses through the dim forest, and then left here along the trail, heading towards the Tianshan Mountains.

When the sun rose high, another group of people came to the deserted village, but Ning Ji and his group had already left long ago.

The deserted village is particularly lively today.

Some Taoists had heard that there were evil spirits causing trouble here, so they came to check out the situation. Perhaps because there were too many Taoists, six or seven in total, the people from the Cheetah Gang also followed.

Of course, the main reason was that the few Cheetah Gang members who were following them had not sent back any news, so the Cheetah Gang members were a little anxious.

In addition to these people, some people who received the news also came over curiously to watch the fun, including the black market merchants who traded last night.

Gradually, many people came to the outskirts of the deserted village. Most of them watched from afar, simply to enjoy the fun.

The group of Taoists who were preparing to investigate the evil spirits in the village were cautious and did not enter the village immediately. They also heard from the Cheetah Gang that the village was very strange and that one could enter but not leave.

Not to mention the dozens of Cheetah Gang members who died in there, there were six Taoists who went in and died. They were all aware of the methods of those six people. After all, they were in the same industry and had had contact in the past. Even those people died in there, so they naturally had to be extremely careful.

However, no matter how they investigated, they could not find anything unusual in the village. There was no evil aura at all!

Apart from a large number of crows, vultures and other birds flying over the village, the only sounds left in the deserted village were the calls of these birds.

These are all scavenger birds that mainly feed on dead animals. The appearance of so many scavenger birds here can only mean that there are many corpses in the village. And there is no need to guess that these corpses are definitely the people who entered the village before.

This scene made many people feel cold in their hearts.

This also made the Taoists more cautious. The more ordinary the village looked, the more dangerous it was.

A group of people explored outside the deserted village for a long time, until the sun in the sky became hotter and hotter, the dazzling sunlight made people squint their eyes and sweat profusely, then a group of Taoists walked towards the deserted village cautiously.

At this moment, the Yang energy was at its peak, and the rumored strange gray fog did not appear in the deserted village. The exorcism magic weapons on them did not detect any evil energy. Now was the best time to enter the village.

After a while, a group of Taoists arrived at the entrance of the village. They still did not notice the presence of any evil creatures nearby, but there was a faint stench of decay in the air.

They tensed their nerves and walked towards the direction of the foul smell. After a while, they came to a large courtyard at the entrance of the village. Just standing at the gate, they heard a lot of movement in the courtyard. It sounded like birds were eating.

The leader kicked the gate.

boom--

The gate of the courtyard made a loud bang. It was not strong to begin with, and it fell to the ground immediately after being kicked so hard.

A group of birds that were feeding in the yard were startled and flew away. The air was filled with flapping sounds and a chaotic sound of birds calling.

At the same time, a strong stench of decay hit the face, and what came into view was a mountain of dead bodies all over the yard!

Most of these corpses belonged to the Cheetah Gang. At the top of the pile were the fellow Taoists who had been traveling with them. They had been pecked by scavenger birds for a long time, and their faces were unrecognizable and bloody. The scene was horrifying.

The group of Taoists outside the courtyard gate looked grim and a little surprised. Why were the corpses piled up in this courtyard?

However, there was nothing unusual in the yard for the time being, so they had to check elsewhere in the village first.

They glanced around the yard, discussed for a while, and then turned and walked towards other parts of the village.

Walking on the deserted village path, they noticed many footprints, bloodstains and drag marks on the ground, obviously where a fight had taken place.

They walked through most of the village and didn't find anything unusual until they came to a yard at the back of the village.

The yard was very clean, and it was obvious that someone had lived here for some time. They walked into the yard to check, and from the details they could tell that the person who lived here had probably left not long ago.

Moreover, there were two large and one small footprints on the ground. They should be the mysterious man and woman mentioned by the Cheetah Gang, the ones who were using evil spirits to do evil in this deserted village. Unfortunately, apart from this, no other clues were found.

The yard next door also showed signs of having been lived in, but it was relatively dirty and there was only one person's footprints. It seemed that there were only three people in this deserted village before.

However, since the people have left and there is no evil spirit causing trouble here, there is no need for them to investigate further and cause trouble for themselves.

They walked around the village before heading towards the village entrance.

A group of people outside the deserted village saw that these Taoists came out safely and without any harm. They couldn't help but admire them and then came forward to ask about the situation.

Several Taoists told the truth about the situation in the village. When the people from the Cheetah Gang heard that there was no danger, they hurried to the village. When they saw the corpses all over the yard, their faces turned grim.
