Chapter 4329 This Is a Forbidden Area
This is when the restriction is activated, and the barrier in front of him disappears little by little. When the barrier disappears, the scene in front of him makes the third elder's eyes widen, unable to believe what he sees.
"This is……"
The scene in front of him was beyond the third elder's expectation. How could this happen?
The back mountain seen from the rope bridge is full of life, with lush trees and lush grass. Why did everything change after the ban was lifted?
The mountain turned black. The lush trees that were originally without a single leaf turned into bare trunks. The trunks were all black, like skeletons standing on the mountain.
At this moment, the third elder was finally able to sense the existence of evil. Waves of stench reached his nose, as if the entire mountain peak was rotten. In a place with strong spiritual energy like Dawn Villa, miasma would actually occur.
Under the sunlight, the miasma formed a layer of purple-black mist, which spread on the ground. As they walked slowly along the ground, no one thought that this was the true side of the forbidden land.
"Is this Dawn Villa?"
The third elder exclaimed, a river was flowing in the mountain stream, and the clear water turned into ink.
There were bubbles in the water, and there was no trace of beautiful scenery here. It was like a different world. After seeing this, the eyes of the third elder turned red.
Finally, they understood the intentions of the previous owners of the village, why they set this place as a forbidden area. Some of them thought that the so-called forbidden area was because some important people of the mountain village were buried in it, and it was their cemetery.
In order to prevent other people from disturbing their peace, they set up a separate place and no one else was allowed to enter. When the ban was opened, the truth turned out to be this.
"Why is it like this? Why is it like this?"
The third elder kept asking questions, but no one would answer. He didn't even know this history, let alone Xiao Yi later.
You can see everywhere the bones left behind by various animals after their death. The bones have turned black, exuding a somewhat terrifying aura. Xiao Yi came to the third elder at this moment.
"It seems that the forbidden area of Dawn Villa is to conceal the truth here. If the place where Dawn Villa is located is a paradise, then this place is a purgatory on earth!"
Xiao Yi walked forward. He had known the truth for a long time, so he was not surprised. He entered the forbidden area today to find out the truth.
Where exactly are those missing members? Could it be that they really entered the forbidden area and died there? Or maybe there is an unknown secret behind this matter.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems like an old man like me is ignorant!"
The third elder followed Xiao Yi, and the two of them walked towards the deep mountains. Waves of evil energy rushed towards their faces, constantly eroding people's bodies.
This level of evil has no effect on Xiao Yi. The third elder has to work hard and condense a layer of shield around his body. The human body cannot bear it after being exposed to this environment for a long time.
As we went deeper into it, we heard whines coming from the depths of the mountain stream from time to time. Xiao Yi had been to the forbidden area last time, but it was at night, and many places had not been explored.
This time, I walked with the third elder and went deep into the forbidden area. It turned out that there was such a large area in the back mountain of Dawn Villa. When looking from the outside, it didn't feel like this.
"Third Elder, you have been in Dawn Villa for so many years. Don't you know anything about the rumors about the forbidden area?"
The third elder shook his head. He had lived for nearly a hundred years. To be honest, he had never survived the rumors about the forbidden area.
"The forbidden area is in Dawn Villa. It has always been a secret and a topic that is forbidden to everyone. Like the second elder, I initially thought that the back mountain was a cemetery and there was nothing special about it."
At this point, the third elder understood a truth. The truth of the matter can only be discovered when you get closer. It is just a rumor, and there will be deviations in many places.
"So that's what happened. It seems that the old village owner may not know the secret here."
"I don't know about this. The key to the forbidden area is in the hands of the village owner. He may know the secret, but he knows that the matter is of great importance and will not tell the matter."
The explanation of the third elder makes some sense. After all, this is related to the reputation of Dawn Villa. Even if he knows the truth this time, he will never tell the outside world.
If others know that Dawn Villa is such an existence, a place that represents justice, and if there is such a serious evil spirit, and those who are interested can hear about it, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the Villa.
Xiao Yi didn't know the truth, but he could feel that Ji Wuye must have been here before. The essence and blood of the alien beasts contained in the bronze box should be related to this person.
"Xiao Yi, don't you think the evil spirit is too strong?"
The third elder noticed that Xiao Yi did not need to open his shield to resist the invasion of these evil spirits even when he was going deep into the forbidden area.
"My realm has improved in recent times, so this evil spirit can't hurt me."
Xiao Yi's eyes were now focused on the front. He seemed to have discovered something and walked quickly towards that direction.
A small black river exuded a putrid smell. Xiao Yi knew that this smell was emitted from the corpse after it had decomposed.
He saw something floating on the water, which looked like a person's clothes, so he held the Dragon Slashing Sword and picked up the clothes from the water. As the clothes were picked up, a figure appeared.
The body was placed on a stone, and the third elder rushed over. Although the body was highly rotten and showed a dirty black color, the third elder kept a careful eye this time.
He started to search the body, and indeed found something in the clothes. With previous experience, the third elder could not judge whether it was the missing members based solely on the degree of decay of the body.
"Yes... This is one of the missing people."
The third elder found something that represented his identity, which meant that this person was a missing member. He didn't know what happened and died in the forbidden area.
After confirming this, the third elder's face could no longer remain calm. If the previous events could be said to be coincidences, how should the current situation be explained?
The missing members were found in the forbidden area of the back mountain. Their death was exactly the same as the previous bodies. Their eyes were dug out, and their vitality was drained, like a mummy. Such means were too cruel.
The third elder's hands were shaking as he put the token of his identity back into the pocket of the corpse. Who was behind the murder of these innocent young people?
