He walked out of the rockery and looked around. The ancient city wall in the distance was still there.
Behind the city wall, there were rows of buildings and pavilions. Beyond the city wall, one could see a Chaotic Fog precipice that towered to the sky and was a hundred meters tall!
It was like a huge silver-gray wall that surrounded the entire Ding’an City.
On the other hand, there was not even a trace of Chaotic Fog in Ding’an City. It was as if they were two different worlds.
“The Chaotic Fog actually didn’t spread to Ding’an City?”
Lin Yan was extremely surprised. Was there something special about Ding’an City that blocked the Chaotic Fog from entering, or did the Chaotic Fog retreat after entering?
If the Chaotic Fog had never entered from the start, why was there no sound in the entire Ding’an City?
Lin Yan did not remove the invisibility effect of the Black Tortoise Divine Armor. He slowly walked out and silently walked onto the street.
After Old Qin finished absorbing the remains of the Spirit Marrow, he completely forgot about his cries. He was held in Lin Yan’s hand and kept poking his head out to take a look.
“What’s wrong with this place? There’s no one here. Is there a ghost?!”
Along the way, there was no one on the messy and ancient streets of Ding’an City. In the food stalls by the roadside, there were a few tables with half-eaten tofu pudding.
At the bun stall on the street, the cage was open and placed to the side. The buns no longer had any steam and were completely cold.
On the offering table in front of an incense hall in the corner, three newly inserted incense sticks happened to burn to the bottom.
There was no sign of fighting or conflict on the entire street. Everything was neat and tidy, but everyone was gone.
The strangest thing was that countless people’s clothes were scattered in the food shop, in front of the bun shop, and outside the incense hall!
There were men and women, old and young. There were coats, underwear, and chest wraps, but the people in the clothes were gone!
This feeling was as if everyone had suddenly evaporated, leaving only their clothes behind.
However, after walking for a while and leaving the Inner Circle, Lin Yan followed the traces on the ground and quickly realized that the people hadn’t disappeared, but had left on their own!
The ground of the Inner Circle was paved with bricks, and nothing could be step out, so there were no obvious traces.
However, the outside was filled with yellow mud roads. There were countless footprints on the ground that extended in the same direction outside the city. Among them, there were many ruts, hooves, and donkey hooves. All of them extended out in the same rhythm.
As Lin Yan followed the footprints out, he observed carefully and realized that all the footprints were neither fast nor slow. Their speed was almost identical!
Lin Yan’s scalp went numb as an extremely strange scene appeared in his mind.
It was as if someone had suddenly pressed a switch. Everyone in Ding’an City stopped.
Those who were eating tofu pudding put down their spoons. Those who were selling buns forgot to collect money. Those who were praying to God did not look at God or Buddha at all.
They all stopped and began to take off their clothes!
From the outside to the inside, they took off all their clothes!
Then, this group of naked people began to stagger in the same direction.
Then, more and more naked people gathered towards them, forming a thousand-man flesh dragon. However, there was no sound at all. Like walking corpses, they slowly walked out step by step.
Lin Yan followed the footsteps of this group of people, as if he was staggering out with them.
“Where are Liu Lanqing and the others? Did they go out with this group of people? Or did they secretly hide?”
These dense footprints extended out of the city. As Lin Yan walked, he suddenly saw a stone house facing the wall of the street. There were a few words written in scarlet blood.
“Watch out for all the shadows!”
The words were written in blood. They had already dried up into a dark red color. The brush strokes were hurried, and they were written in a panic.
On the other hand, there was an obviously messy group of footsteps and four or five pools of bright red blood in front of the stone wall. The blood dyed a large area of the ground, leaving behind extremely bright blood flowers, and there were many traces of burning and water stains.
However, there were no corpses or wreckage left at the scene. Lin Yan even checked, but not a single piece of flesh was left.
“Something clearly happened to Liu Lanqing and the others here. From the footprints around, it seems that these walking residents have surrounded them…”
Lin Yan took two steps forward. A circle of footprints clearly surrounded them.
“I think, with Issuer Liu’s swift and decisive personality, she must have attacked directly.
“But at most, she would’ve sent these villagers flying. It’s impossible for her to harm their lives. Why is there so much blood?
“And shadows. Be careful of all shadows. Is there something wrong with shadows?”
Lin Yan looked behind him. He was invisible now and had no shadow at all.
“Be careful of all the shadows, ALL the shadows…”
Of the six words, the word “all” was the largest.
If it was really an emergency, why did she add “all”?
All the shadows, which shadows were she referring to?
Lin Yan looked around and focused on the alley on the side. The roof ridge and wall on the right cast a dense shadow on the alley.
“All the shadows, including the shadows of buildings? Are there problems with these shadows too?”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. When he walked out of the ground just now, he didn’t notice that he had stepped over many shadows..
