However, under Li Yuanqing’s investigation, he discovered that not only did these people not have a trace of spiritual power in their bodies, but their veins were also about to be sucked dry. Any trace of spiritual power hidden in their bodies seemed to be sucked dry.
In a corner that no one noticed, a haggard-looking fellow slowly walked into a small alley, as if he was finally going back to his cave abode to replenish his energy.
“Let’s go, follow me to take a look.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from the high platform. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the side of the street. This street was also crowded with people. They did not notice the newcomers at all and were only focused on the high platform.
Li Yuanqing did not care about these people. He directly followed the footsteps of the guy from earlier and entered a small alley at the side.
Although Ye Qiluo didn’t understand, she still followed him obediently.
The two of them walked in the alley one after another. Li Yuanqing listened to the slow footsteps in front of him and followed them bit by bit.
“Young Master Li, did you find anything?”
Li Yuanqing didn’t answer. He just quickened his pace and continued to follow.
The guy in front looked exhausted, as if he couldn’t take it anymore. However, what was surprising was that the guy actually walked for a long time without stopping. They didn’t know how long they had turned in this alley, but they had already reached the outer civilian area.
From the center of the city, they followed these twisting paths all the way to the outermost Urban area. The light here was very chaotic, and no one would notice the situation here.
“Young Master Li, why is he taking the small roads that 1 still play with? Why is he taking the main road outside?”
Ye Qiluo felt that this was a very strange scene. There were so many roads to choose from, but that guy chose such a remote road and brought the two of them here and there. They had been shopping for a long time.
“Do you smell anything?”
“What’s that smell?” Ye Qiluo said helplessly,” Young Master, there’s nothing we can do about it.” I also tried very hard to make the environment here better, but the people living here didn’t seem to buy it. They seemed to prefer living places that smelled like this.”
“No, this isn’t just the smell of domestic garbage. There’s something else.”
“What’s that smell?”
Just as the two of them were talking, the footsteps in front of them suddenly stopped. Li Yuanqing’s expression changed and he hurriedly chased after them.
At the end of the alley, after a turn, a dead end appeared in front of them. This dead end was more than ten meters deep, and there was a strong stench coming from it.
The smell was all gathered in this alley and could not be dispersed. The smell that Li Yuanqing smelled just now came from here.
In that dark place, there was a pile of corpses.
The devout believer who had followed them all the way here had consciously walked to the top of the pile of corpses and lay down silently. In just a short while, he had already breathed his last. He had completely lost all movement and was completely dead.
Ye Qiluo stepped forward and retreated in disbelief. He didn’t understand why there was such a scene. Why were these people gathered together? What was it that made them so miserable that they all gathered here and died silently?
“Young Master, they have already…”
Ye Qiluo couldn’t understand what she was seeing. What was going on? Why were they like this? What exactly happened?
“It’s that stone.”
“What?”
“That stone bewitched the hearts of people.”
“But…”
Ye Qiluo couldn’t understand. What was going on?
Although she also felt that something was wrong with that stone, it seemed to have done nothing. It just lay there quietly and accepted the worship of the people. However, why did these people throw themselves here like trash after worshipping the stone and die casually?
“I’ll smash it now!”
Ye Qiluo rushed to the entrance of the alley, panting. Just as she was about to fly into the air, she was stopped by Li Yuanqing.
“No, the power of that stone might be beyond your imagination. If we go like this, I’m afraid we’ll only be courting death.”
“But, if we don’t do that, I can’t just watch those human beings in Sea City Base die in that guy’s hands one after another. 1 don’t even know why they died.”
“Let me fight it.”
“Young Master Li.”
“This stone is not something that should exist in this world. He should return to where he came from.”
“Young Master Li, what do you mean?”
“I’ll take this boulder away tonight and bring it to my domain space. When the time comes, you have to calm the emotions of the people and don’t let them panic.”
“But there are more than 100,000 of them. How should 1 deal with them?”
Li Yuanqing flipped his hand, and a black stone appeared in his palm.
“This piece of thousand-year-old black wood will emit a fragrance after it is ignited. At that time, it can temporarily hypnotize them.”
Ye Qiluo carefully held the wood in her hand. She had only heard of this kind of black peach wood in the legends and had never seen anyone use it. Today, Li Yuanqing was so generous to take out such a big piece. Legend had it that a small piece the size of a fingernail was enough to charm thousands of people.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. I will definitely send people to stabilize the situation and try my best to prevent them from causing trouble.”
It was night.
The attraction of the meteorite seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. The number of people coming from all directions to make a pilgrimage did not decrease, but instead increased by quite a bit.
The most serious thing was that not only Sea City Base, but even among the pilgrims, there were people rushing over from the wilderness, which was not a good sign.
A scarlet moon hung high in the sky. The thin red light shone on the large black rock, making it look even more sinister.
Especially under the illumination of this red light, this huge rock looked more like a huge heart, thumping loudly.
The city protection team had already gathered. They were nervously waiting for suggestions at the side. They did not know what would happen. Many people in the city protection team had already fallen into the trap.
The people standing here were all veterans who had been guarding Rong City with Ye Qiluo.
There were also some people with relatively strong strength who seemed to be able to resist such temptation. As for how the others were so lucky.
After some investigation, they found that the number of members in the city protection team had decreased recently. There were as many as 10% of them.
Unfortunately, when they were cleaning up the corpses, they found many of the city protection team members ‘name tags.
Li Yuanqing stood on the roof of a building opposite the meteorite. Under the illumination of the night sky, Li Yuanqing’s face was flushed red.
For some reason, Li Yuanqing felt as if the boulder was provoking him. It was emitting a very faint attractive force towards him.
In his heart, two voices kept arguing. It was the Soul Suppressing Altar. Now, the two of them were like two children, quarreling endlessly every day. However, today, the two of them seemed to be more nervous than usual. Their cries were also more urgent, as if they had something they wanted to say but could not say it.
Although these two little fellows did not know how to express themselves, Li Yuanqing could still clearly sense the resistance in their hearts towards the stone in front of them. There was also a faint fear mixed within.
“What exactly is inside that makes you so afraid?”
