Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 71 The Old Town (more to follow)

Dark clouds obscured the faint crimson moonlight.

Chen Ye's figure appeared at the intersection of the old city.

This was the first time he acted at night.

Looking inside, compared with the bustling pedestrian street behind me, the old city is dark and quiet.

It's like two different worlds.

Observing with the Eye of Destiny, the bloody light lingering around the old city is obviously much dimmer than during the day.

When Chen Ye came to the intersection, he took a special look at his luck aura.

The swirling glass lines near the three-color ring became brighter.

Of course, this also includes the blood light, which is more prominent and active, as if it is given life...

However, the bloody light was not very close to the black evil spirit. Instead, it seemed like it was about to swallow others with a bloody mouth.

"Generally speaking, if the bloody light is combined with the black evil spirit and surrounds the head, it means that the person concerned is suffering from the bloody disaster."

"But if it is pure blood and light, then it must be judged in combination."

"This bloody light faintly appeared near my mouth. Maybe the source of the bloody light... is me!"

Chen Ye noticed that the blood on his body was fundamentally different from the players he had encountered before. He made a little judgment and confirmed that the situation was normal.

He no longer hesitated, kept his wandering pace, and entered the old city.

At this moment, the golden parchment scroll in his mind automatically appeared in front of his eyes.

clank!

There seemed to be a loud sound of bells, echoing in my ears.

Suddenly, the parchment burst out with a mysterious radiance, and the mist in front of the bloody red dot instantly receded. Ink lines that snaked like black snakes were slowly outlined on the top of the golden page.

The overall outline of the old city is shown in the corner of the [Wandering Map].

The bloody red dot where Chen Ye stood was a relatively wide intersection that could accommodate two cars traveling side by side.

Straight across from the main road, branch-like forks appear constantly, extending towards the complex and intertwined old city, and directly to the upper reaches of the Xijiang River.

A few decades ago, the old city was a prosperous area, and many older generations liked to buy houses there.

However, with the development of the times, new areas are constantly being developed. It is difficult to demolish all the old buildings clustered here, and they have gradually developed into urban villages. Most of the people living here are empty-nest elderly, left-behind children, and needy households suffering from diseases. People at the bottom with no savings...

Chen Ye stepped into the old city while observing the shape of the luck halo above his head.

At this moment, a faint smell of blood floated in the air.

Mixed with the smell of some kind of rotting animal carcass, there is also the smell of acid and vomit...

Chen Ye frowned. After his sense of smell became acute, he became more sensitive to these smells. Compared with ordinary people, the smells he smelled would be more indescribable.

However, with this ability, Chen Ye was able to identify the different substances that these smells came from when he concentrated.

Although my understanding of this world is not very deep and I cannot accurately determine the specific species, I can probably determine what it is.

Even mixed smells can be analyzed and classified.

Chen Ye remained vigilant and walked on this ancient main road, occasionally looking around to check the surrounding environment.

In the past, there were ancient grocery stores on both sides of the old city, selling large iron pots, prayer paper, objects for burning incense and worshiping gods, etc. that were used decades ago...

Since the bloody countdown, most of the shops have been closed down and almost abandoned.

Some shops even had half of them collapsed, weeds growing out of the broken yellow mud bricks, and black buildings pressing in from both sides, like the shadow of a demon.

After walking a few steps deeper, Chen Ye suddenly found some scattered pieces of meat scattered on the road.

He took out his blood-colored mobile phone, and with the help of the weak screen light, he could see clearly that there were still blood stains on the ground. It seemed to be from today, but it had dried to black.

The blood stains were distributed in dots. It didn't look like the blood sprayed from the aorta after being fatally injured. It looked more like it was bitten by something terrifying, and the blood fell like rain all over the sky...

Not only on the ground, but also on the walls of the surrounding shops and even on the edges of the roofs of some low tiled houses, there were traces of blood.

Chen Ye frowned slightly. In the picture of the Eye of Luck, he saw a huge black shadow, dancing like a demon in the old city, as if it was carrying out a joyful and violent killing... The ring of luck, faintly Gives people an uneasy feeling.

Fortunately, this black shadow has left, but the traces left behind before turned into a unique symbol of luck, lingering for a short time like a shadow, but quickly dissipated.

"Did it happen this morning?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but remember that when he looked towards the old city in the early morning, a rich bloody river appeared in that area... He instinctively felt the crisis from it, so he did not go to the old city immediately to check the situation.

Now that I think about it, my intuition at the time was right, but would it be dangerous during the day?

But now, the danger here seems to have been swept away by that existence, and it has become safer.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the minced meat on the ground. He leaned over to take a closer look, smelled it with his nose, and suddenly his pupils shrank...

These minced meats belong to humans!

Of course, this so-called "human being" is not necessarily a "person", it just has the form of a human being.

Those barbecue stall owners also have human appearances, but in "Strange Era", all existences are basically weird, but the forms and rules of existence are different.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether these pieces of human flesh came from the barbecue stall owners or from the diners who swallowed the black barbecue and then entered the old city.

perhaps……

It’s both!

At this moment, on the main road of the old city, the halo of luck split into a white mist, extending forward.

There are only sporadic ink embellishments, but it doesn't feel particularly dangerous.

"Did I gain nothing from my visit this time?" Chen Ye looked at the road shrouded in white mist and couldn't help but complain.

Crisis and gain coexist.

He came this time to hunt for items with special properties!

Without crisis, where would be the gain?

Chen Ye walked forward along the white mist. When he came to the main road, he suddenly found a faint scarlet line, which was particularly conspicuous, extending from the fork on the left to the dark and narrow residential area.

Compared with the shops on both sides of the main road, there are more poor people living here.

Numerous old-fashioned single-family houses, like low heads, form natural shelter points.

Chen Ye walked carefully in this area. These buildings provided good cover. It was a perfect place to play hide-and-seek here!

at this time.

He saw that in the halo of luck above his head, the bloody light suddenly became richer!

It turned into a bloody blade and was about to chop down...

Chen Ye's face exploded in an instant and turned into the form of [The Devourer]. One eye looked forward and the other looked behind, gaining a 360-degree field of vision.

The crimson moonlight suddenly appeared in the clouds and mist, and a faint blood mist shone not far behind Chen Ye, on the two figures wearing tattered and ragged clothes with blood stains on the corners of their mouths...
