Chapter 1064: The human race in the heart of the demon race?
"Woo-!"
The howling wind blew, causing the blazing flames to sway left and right, but it did not disperse or extinguish the sea of fire that had already become a huge blaze. Instead, it further fueled the spread of the fire.
After all, there are a lot of low and dense vines growing on this gentle slope.
In this swaying sea of fire, Lin Yu walked around the entire building complex but did not find any corpse.
However, he could confirm... that there was indeed a village here.
Because there are clay vessels in many rooms, the structure of the house is more like a residential house, and the functional divisions of those rooms are obviously based on families living in units, rather than a "dormitory" style.
If it was a camp like a military camp, it is possible that there were no corpses at all.
After all, it is possible that a well-disciplined team would simply evacuate before the enemy attacks, leaving behind an empty camp that would be burned down by the angry enemy.
But if such a large village were invaded or attacked, there would inevitably be resistance and casualties.
The people of the Black Swamp Realm are tough and each village has its own armed forces. For a village of this size, it is impossible that there is no one left in the village to serve as guards.
What's more, there are indeed many traces of fighting and residual blood here - but the only thing missing is the corpse.
This made Lin Yu very confused.
"Why exactly?"
He walked through the fire scene - although the fire here was very fierce, the most deadly smoke in the fire scene was not a problem at all for Lin Yu, so he could stay here for a long time.
but……
The burning sensation caused by the high temperature is unavoidable. Although it is not fatal, Lin Yu can only endure it.
At this moment, Lin Yu was almost dehydrated due to the heat, and he looked very smoky. Even if other players saw him, they would definitely think he was a native refugee from the Black Swamp at first glance.
After a strenuous search in the fire scene, although no body was found, Lin Yu still found some useful traces.
In the very center, where most of the buildings had collapsed and the land was mostly covered with smoke and charred wood, among the messy and blurred footprints and hoof prints, there were two clear "wide and deep prints" that led straight down the gentle slope.
It was like two huge square rocks were dragged across the ground, leaving deep marks that were almost impossible to ignore.
Moreover, its mark was too straight, which also showed that the two heavy objects passing by here had a clear "destination".
This was the only "clue" Lin Yu could find at the moment, so after a brief hesitation, Lin Yu followed it temporarily.
Walking along the dirt road with unclear boundaries and following the two deep and wide marks, Lin Yu saw that there were still scattered burning plants on the road on both sides.
Here, Lin Yu noticed another strange thing.
"Not only is there no one in that village... there are no people on this road either, not even any wild animals?"
This is even more incredible.
The wilderness of the Black Swamp should be filled with all kinds of wild large beasts - especially a village like this, it would definitely not be chosen in a place where there are no large numbers of animals living.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to support the daily food consumption of a demon village.
but……
The surrounding wilderness seemed to have become a forbidden zone for life, with no signs of any animal activity.
Apart from the sound of the wind and the crackling of the flames, Lin Yu could not hear any other sound - no howling or distant shouting of wild beasts, and even less the war cries of two wild beasts attacking each other, which should be extremely common in the Black Swamp Realm.
In addition, Lin Yuhe passed by several scattered "retail" buildings - they were still burning fiercely, with no people or entities in sight.
This made Lin Yu feel even more weird.
I originally thought that this [copy] was a "war" in which I needed to play both sides and muddy the waters. The difficulty was how to ensure that I would not be harmed during the war and how to deal with different camps.
Now it seems……
"The first difficulty is that I might have to find one of the forces first and figure out what happened here."
Lin Yu now even began to doubt that this [copy] might not have reached the point where a "battle" could break out, or the war might have come to an end. If he wanted to participate in the "battle", he would have to initiate it himself, right?
But for some reason, this unusual situation made Lin Yu feel at ease.
If everything goes smoothly and as expected in his upgraded copy, Lin Yu will feel uneasy!
Now, at the beginning, this unexpected situation was placed on Lin Yu's face, which made Lin Yu feel...
"As expected of Black Swamp, there's nothing hidden."
Lin Yu continued to walk forward along the huge mark, and then found that the mark was becoming more and more "new".
Even the edges of the latest, wide mark and the soil that was pressed out were still slightly moist.
Lin Yu looked ahead and saw thick smoke rising from a distance. It seemed that there was another village ahead, and that village...
It was also burned.
Lin Yu couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Because this means...
Maybe this time, I can see what happened in this village!
After all, the black smoke was growing rapidly this time - in other words, those who set fire to the village had just started the fire.
This means... they must still have people in the village.
"If we rush over there at full speed, we might run into them head-on!"
Lin Yu thought about it and did not hesitate. He immediately took out a [Superior Taiqing Divine Traveling Talisman] and stuck it on himself. Then he condensed "butterfly wings" and used the [GPWW Special Combat Suit] to specialize his leg muscles and began to run at full speed.
Of course, this is just the full speed of Lin Yu's "running" - Lin Yu has not used the special [props] such as [Corner of the Shadowy Ones], [Earth-Escape Talisman Armor], and [Teleportation Gun].
And for Lin Yu...
The speed now is already exaggerated.
If Lin Yu were put on the highway now, he wouldn't need to hitchhike - because at this moment Lin Yu's speed is not much slower than that of a vehicle traveling at full speed.
Even though the village with the rising black smoke could only be seen from afar, under Lin Yu's full speed...
Just a few minutes later, he was approaching the village.
Just as Lin Yu expected, this large area of wooden buildings had only just started burning for a short time, and only half of the village was engulfed in flames.
Although the residents inside were still missing, Lin Yu saw the culprit this time.
A group of guys wrapped in black animal skin robes, carrying spears as long as their height, and wearing masks with green fangs protruding outwards, were pouring fuel everywhere with leather bags made of large fish to fan the fire.
Lin Yu looked at them and was stunned.
“Isn’t this Sanqiu?”
"How can there be... humans?"
