Chapter 1279: Desert Island Suspicion
Seeing these mortals like this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, could it be that there are any monsters on this small island.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's spiritual sense spread out, completely enveloping the island, and launched a carpet search, but after searching several times, he didn't find anything, this island is just an ordinary island that can't be ordinary anymore, not to mention demon beasts, even beasts are pitiful.
"Slowly, what the hell is going on?" Although Ye Chen couldn't understand why these mortals were like this, he still asked patiently.
"This... I can't tell. The middle-aged man thought about it, but gave Ye Chen this answer.
"What do you say? You don't know either? Are you playing with me? Ye Chen's temper is good, but he doesn't allow others to play him, are these mortals really soft persimmons when they are monks?
"Immortal Master, don't be angry, can you go to the village with us first, and you will know when you go to the Immortal Master." The middle-aged man saw that Ye Chen's face was wrong, and hurriedly explained.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded, he hadn't seen anyone in a hundred years of penance, and it was not bad to go to the world to walk around, and helping these mortals could be regarded as accumulating some merit.
With the support of many mortals, Ye Chen slowly followed them towards the island, the village here is not a village on the earth, there are only a few hundred people, the so-called village here is full of tens of thousands of people, much larger than the small town on the earth.
Walking on the streets of the town, countless mortals who heard that there were immortals coming stood on the side of the road to welcome, and where Ye Chen passed, these mortals also knelt down and kowtowed one after another, in order to show their respect for the immortal master, and from the faces of these mortals, it could be seen that they were panicked, obviously afraid of something.
Ye Chen was taken by the middle-aged man to sit in the most luxurious building in the center of the village, saying that it was luxurious, but it was actually just a house made of stones, but it was much better than those built with trees.
Ye Chen didn't care about these, he just wanted to experience the mortal world, even if there was nothing, it would be good to take a walk.
Under the greeting of the middle-aged man, fragrant tea, melons and fruits were quickly placed in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen tasted it, it tasted good, and he was not polite, he grabbed it and ate it, he didn't care about the image of the immortal master Ye Chen.
Just after Ye Chen swept away the fruits on the table like a cloud, an old voice came to mind outside the door.
"Immortal Master, Ma Xin came here to pay a visit, can you see it?" I saw an old man standing outside the door, his old appearance looked like he was old, and he was a little cowering when he walked.
"Come in!" Ye Chen clapped his hands and nodded.
"Immortal Master Xie." Ma Xin just came in and wanted to pay a big salute, but he was floated by Ye Chen.
"Okay, don't be polite, if you have anything to say, I don't have much time to delay with you." Ye Chen said impatiently.
"Yes, Immortal Master." The old man stood aside with the support of the middle-aged man.
"Immortal Master, look at how old I am." The old man sighed and said.
"You? Seventy, what's wrong? Ye Chen frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid the immortal master won't believe it, but it's actually the same age as my brother, and now it's only forty and three." The old man sighed.
"What? You say you're only forty-three? But you don't look like it at all! Ye Chen was a little surprised.
"Immortal Master, wait a minute." The old man motioned to the middle-aged man on the side, and then the middle-aged man walked out of the door, and after a while, seven or eight old men walked in outside the door, each with a frightened expression on his face.
"Immortal Master, look at it again, how old are these people?" The old man asked again.
Ye Chen's spiritual sense swept over these people several times, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Looking at their qi and blood, they should be no different from you, looking like they are in their seventies, but if you ask like this, obviously not, are they also in their forties?" ”
"They used to be younger than me, the oldest was no more than thirty, and the youngest was only twenty." The old man sighed.
"What! Twenty years old, you're not lying to me, how is that possible? Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, and even his face changed.
"Immortal Master, you heard it right, these villagers, including me, are indeed in the prime of life, but now they have become old men in the twilight."
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Ye Chen had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure, and he still needed to ask to understand.
"About a month ago, a villager in my village went up the mountain to chop firewood, and somehow he was bitten by a fist-sized insect, and it became like this within a few days of coming back."
"This was just the beginning, and then it happened one after another, so we organized some villagers to investigate, but this time they never came back."
"When I went to look for it, all the villagers who were searching were all white bones, and they couldn't die anymore, and I was unfortunately bitten by the worm, and when I came back, I became like them."
"Oh? Aren't there any other monks here to help you? Ye Chen was a little puzzled.
"Yes, yes, but those monks also ended up in the same way, they went and never came back, and we didn't dare to go up the mountain to look for it, and the immortal masters who came later didn't dare to go after hearing about the situation." The old man sighed.
Ye Chen's brows furrowed, although the speculation in his heart was a little more advanced, but he couldn't be completely sure if he hadn't seen it.
Seeing Ye Chen's brows frowning slightly, the old man hurriedly knelt down, and the old and middle-aged people beside him also knelt down at the same time.
"Immortal Master, I know this will make you very embarrassed, but we are really desperate, although the insects on the mountain have not taken the initiative to attack the village, but they are already panicking, if this continues, we will definitely not be able to live on this small island, but the sea is vast, we are not immortal cultivators, we can't drive the clouds and fog like all immortal masters, where can we relocate, I hope the immortal master will save us." The old man said this, his face was full of sadness.
"Okay, you don't need to say it, since I'm here, I'll help you investigate this matter clearly." Ye Chen groaned for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, mortals, although nothing can express gratitude, but every family will set up an immortal tablet for you, bless you with heaven and earth." The old man kowtowed repeatedly.
"Okay, don't bother, tell me where it is, I'll go and see." Ye Chen helped, and he also had his thoughts, and he didn't go on purpose, although he couldn't be sure, but he was fifty percent sure that he could be sure.
Under the guidance of the old man, before the time for a cup of tea arrived, Ye Chen had already come to the hill that the old man said.
Although it was already the middle of the night, it had no effect on Ye Chen, looking down from the sky, there was nothing special about the whole hill, the dense vegetation, tall trees, it was an ordinary hill.
But Ye Chen didn't dare to ignore it, not only did mortals die here for no reason, but also monks were buried here, and those who survived became old men in the twilight, this matter itself was very weird, plus Ye Chen had some guesses in his heart, and he wouldn't leave if he didn't figure it out.
The spiritual sense glanced around Ye Chen and didn't find anything that could be done, his figure landed as soon as he moved, and walked slowly in the dense forest, Ye Chen stopped, something appeared in his spiritual sense, only to see Ye Chen disappear in a flash, and when he appeared again, he was already standing next to several skeletons, judging from his clothes, these were the villagers who came to search in the village.
After Ye Chen's careful investigation, these villagers died very strangely, there were no injuries on their clothes, only two holes in their legs or arms, which was probably where they were injured.
But even if the injury is not fatal, its bones are white, and there is no sign of poisoning, obviously it is not poisoning and death, these people are really a little strange to die.
With a flick of Ye Chen's robe, a ray of light flew out, and he took a leg bone that was suspected of being bitten and put it in front of his eyes to look at it, and under the flickering of the colorful light in his eyes, all the details inside the leg bone were exposed in front of Ye Chen's eyes.
After seeing the details clearly, a trace of horror flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Is it really that thing ... What a surprise. Ye Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed from shock to surprise.
