Chapter 1578: Cathedral (2) Chapter 1578: Cathedral (2) “Oh …”

Hearing her words, the Holy maiden let out a sorrowful sigh, followed by a small sob.

The red-haired No. 4 was silent for a long time, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

“Let’s go to the village and take a look.” The cultivator gave the order in a serious tone. The fairy responded, and everyone continued to move forward.

The empty village was a heart-wrenching sight. No matter what happened in the village, the cultivators still wanted to enter it and find out the reason why there was no one in the village.

Moreover, he still wanted to find some clues in the village to determine everyone’s location so that they could get back on track and not move forward like headless flies in the dense forest.

The elves quickened their pace, and so did the team. A few minutes later, the group stopped.

The place where everyone had stopped was like a huge, deep pit.

The location of the pit was right under everyone’s feet, and at the end of the winding path was a small village built against the mountain wall.

The village was now shrouded in darkness, and only the shadows of some pitch-black buildings could be seen.

They were already so close, but the village was eerily quiet. They didn’t hear the slightest movement of living people.

The cultivator had walked from the end of the line and stood in the middle.

He held the book in his arms and made a painful prayer gesture. After a long silence, he sighed.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”

Everyone had already prepared for the worst. After hearing his words, the elf took the lead and set foot on the path leading to the village.

Song Qing paused for a while and tapped the ground with the tip of his toes.

It was not the soft mud that they had walked through before, but cobblestones the size of a palm. They were still firm and steady.

One could imagine that before the village was in trouble, this path must have been clean and exquisite. But now, it was covered by thick leaves, showing a bit of desolation after a long time.

However, song Qingxin was clear that the power of darkness would accelerate this corrosion, causing the scene affected by its aura to appear at a time that did not match the real time of decline.

“It might have happened about half a month ago.”

She rubbed her toes on the ground and voiced her speculation.

The cultivator who had just walked forward stopped in his tracks. He seemed to want to turn his head, but in the end, he seemed to force himself and did not turn back.

The village was already in sight, and the group quickly reached the village entrance.

What entered everyone’s eyes were two extremely large ancient trees at the village entrance.

These two ancient trees were at least several hundred years old, and they were extremely thick.

The straight trunk of the tree pierced straight into the sky, and the canopy that extended out from both sides had been woven by time, forming a natural and perfect shelter.

“What’s that?” Someone seemed to have noticed something and let out a panicked scream, causing everyone to look up at his raised hand.

He saw two pitch-black objects hanging down from both sides of the crown of the tree. Leng fan looked like two hanging human heads.

Song qingxiao looked up and vaguely recognized that they were two carefully-processed pumpkin lamps.

The two jack-o’- lanterns should have been exquisitely hung here, but now that they had been corroded by the dark energy, the two jack-o’- lanterns had shriveled and turned black, losing their original color.

“That should be a pumpkin magic lamp.”

The monk’s answer confirmed song qingxiao’s guess. Not long after, Edward, who walked to the front of the team, raised his wand with one hand.

With a ‘bang’, the two jack-o’- lanterns were ignited by magic.

The flame inside the hollowed melon flashed like the blinking of a demon’s eyes, and the light quickly spread out from the hollowed melon.

In the darkness, it quickly turned from bright yellow to a sinister fluorescent green.

The body of the pumpkin was originally carved with an exquisite smiling face, but because the people in the village had gone missing, the pumpkin lamp had lost the careful care of people. Under the corrosion of the darkness, the body of the pumpkin had long been deformed, making the smiling face look extremely strange.

Now that Edward had lit up the lamps with magic, the two jack-o’- lanterns swayed slightly. In the flickering light, they looked like two grinning demons, coldly looking at the people who were about to enter the village.

The elf FeNO looked up at these jack-o lanterns, his expression thoughtful, somewhat mournful, but also somewhat suspicious.
