Chapter 156 The Secret of the Deserted Village: The Truth to Be Revealed
After the mysterious man left, the night sky of the deserted village seemed even darker.
Chu Feng tightly grasped the amulet given to him by the mysterious visitor Chen. The cold touch made him even more confused.
He recalled the fragmentary narration of the old villager Sun. The Chen family, a once glorious family that has now disappeared, seemed to be the source of all the weirdness in this deserted village.
Following the old man's clues, Chu Feng discovered that all the clues pointing to the vengeful spirit eventually circled back to the Chen family.
What is the purpose of the mysterious visitor Chen approaching him?
"Chu Feng, are you okay?" Pan Yue's worried voice interrupted Chu Feng's thoughts.
"I'm fine." Chu Feng shook his head, but felt dizzy.
The confrontation with the leader of the evil spirits and the sudden appearance of the mysterious man had consumed a lot of his energy.
Liu Yue on the side also looked at him with concern, her eyes full of worry.
Ever since Chu Feng saved her last time, her attitude has changed and she is no longer as aloof as before.
Village Chief Wang also came over. Although his words still contained a hint of superstition, his attitude towards Chu Feng had obviously softened a lot. "Young man, you are really amazing. You can even deal with evil spirits."
Exorcist Li hid behind the crowd with a gloomy expression.
He originally thought that he could make a fortune from this opportunity, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and ruined his plans.
He glared at Chu Feng fiercely and cursed in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a movement from the direction of the dry well.
Black mist once again gushed out of the originally calm wellhead, and the roar of the vengeful spirit leader sounded again, even more violent than before.
"It...it appeared again!" Village Chief Wang shouted in horror.
The leader of the evil spirits seemed to realize that Chu Feng was getting closer to the truth and attacked him frantically.
Chu Feng tried his best to resist, but his physical exhaustion made it difficult for him to withstand it.
A black mist hit his chest, and he staggered back, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Chu Feng!" Liu Yue exclaimed, and hurriedly supported him. Seeing Chu Feng injured, she felt distressed and tears welled up in her eyes.
The leader of the evil spirits laughed sharply, and the black mist rolled, as if mocking Chu Feng's powerlessness.
It was suspended in mid-air, and a powerful pressure enveloped the entire deserted village, making it suffocate.
"You ants, all of you must die!" The voice of the vengeful spirit leader was filled with hatred. It stretched out its claws and pointed at Chu Feng, "Especially... you!"
Chu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He looked up at the leader of the vengeful spirits and slowly raised the amulet in his hand...
The amulet emitted a faint fluorescence under the moonlight, and a strange energy wave spread out.
Chu Feng felt a warm current flowing into his body, dispelling his previous fatigue.
He stared at the leader of the evil spirits, recalling the description of the old villager Sun and the evil spirits' past attack patterns in his mind.
A bold idea took shape in his mind.
The attacks of the vengeful spirit leader mainly rely on the sharp claws condensed from the black mist. Each attack is accompanied by a shrill scream and is extremely powerful.
But Chu Feng noticed that while screaming, a black core would briefly appear on the chest of the vengeful spirit leader, flashing with a strange light.
He guessed that this might be its weakness!
"Pan Yue, cover me!" Chu Feng shouted, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards the leader of the evil spirits.
Pan Yue immediately understood, and the runes in his hand flashed, and golden light shot towards the leader of the evil spirits, attracting its attention.
The leader of the evil spirits was disturbed by the golden light and let out an angry roar. The black mist rolled and his claws waved more frantically.
The villagers were so frightened that they trembled and hid behind their houses, not daring to show their heads.
Exorcist Li was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hid far away and muttered to himself.
"This kid is crazy! He actually dared to attack the leader of the evil spirits!" Village Chief Wang exclaimed, his tone full of worry and a hint of admiration.
Liu Yue clenched her hands tightly, her eyes never leaving Chu Feng's figure, and she prayed silently for his safety in her heart.
Under tremendous pressure, Chu Feng shuttled through the black fog, looking for an opportunity to attack.
He dodged one deadly claw after another with astonishing speed.
Just as the leader of the evil spirits let out a sharp scream and the black core in his chest was exposed, Chu Feng seized the opportunity and smashed the amulet hard into the core!
The amulet collided with the black core with a loud bang, and a strong energy wave spread out, dispersing the surrounding black fog.
The leader of the evil spirits let out a painful wail, and his body trembled violently, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
The villagers were stunned when they saw this scene.
They didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant young man could actually hurt the powerful ghost leader!
For a moment, everyone looked at Chu Feng with eyes full of awe and hope.
At this moment, a figure appeared silently at the entrance of the village.
It was the mysterious visitor Chen.
He looked at the injured ghost leader with a strange smile on his face.
He slowly raised his hand, and a mysterious power surged out, instantly enveloping the entire deserted village.
Chu Feng felt dizzy and the amulet in his hand lost its luster.
"The game...it's time to end..." whispered the mysterious visitor Chen, his voice cold and full of pressure.
The power released by the mysterious visitor Chen was like an invisible wave, pressing Chu Feng so hard that he couldn't breathe.
The amulet dimmed and the warmth that had flowed into it disappeared.
He stumbled back and nearly fell.
Pan Yue was quick to support Chu Feng and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Chu Feng took a deep breath and tried to steady himself: "It's okay, this power is very strange..."
Before he could finish his words, an invisible force attacked again, pushing them towards the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village.
On the tree trunk, strange runes flickered with a faint green light, as if responding to the power of the mysterious visitor.
"This power... has a pattern!" Pan Yue keenly noticed that the fluctuation of power was consistent with the flashing frequency of the locust tree rune.
He quickly took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his bag, muttered something, and the talismans burned, turning into golden light that surrounded them.
The golden light collided with the invisible force, making a "sizzling" sound and forming a weak barrier.
"I will interfere with its frequency, and you find an opportunity to attack the locust tree!" Pan Yue shouted.
Chu Feng nodded, he knew this was the only breakthrough.
He clutched the dim amulet tightly, his eyes fixed on the locust tree, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Pan Yue kept changing the arrangement of the runes, the frequency of the golden light flashing became faster and faster, and the invisible power began to become disordered.
At this moment, Chu Feng seized the opportunity, flashed and rushed towards the locust tree.
He stuck the amulet on the tree trunk and recited the mantra silently.
The amulet emitted a faint light again, competing with the runes on the locust tree.
The fierce energy collision made Chu Feng feel a sharp pain, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, continuously injecting spiritual power.
Finally, the runes on the locust tree began to dim, and the invisible power gradually dissipated.
"Success!" Pan Yue shouted happily.
However, at this moment, the mysterious visitor Chen showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a black talisman appeared in his hand.
After the battle, Liu Yue ran over anxiously to check Chu Feng's injuries.
She bandaged his wound carefully, and her gentle movements made Chu Feng's heart beat.
Liu Yue's originally stubborn eyes were now filled with worry and tenderness.
Chu Feng's eyes met hers, and a subtle feeling surged between the two of them.
The purpose of Chen's mysterious visitor remains a mystery. Why did he try to stop Chu Feng from uncovering the truth? What is the connection between him and the leader of the vengeful spirits?
Mysterious visitor Chen looked at the fallen locust tree and whispered, "It seems that we have to change our approach..." The black talisman in his hand flashed with a strange light.
