I have become a dangerous place and invaded the fairyland with strangeness

Chapter 29: Concrete Forest
This time no one gave Elder Tang an explanation and everyone remained silent.

Silver burned a piece of jade paper.

The blue ice flame was still burning, and everyone bypassed it and continued to move towards the center of the new land.

Everyone had their own guess in mind that Elder Qian Xing, who had retrieved the corpse, had fallen to the end of the team.

"Elder Qian, what do you think?"

Yin sent a message to Qian Xing, but Qian Xing did not reply and remained silent.

Yin didn't ask any more questions. The bodies of two fellow disciples made the atmosphere among the crowd become depressing, but Yin didn't care. There was no suspicion on him anyway.

He was just very confused. If there was a traitor among the twelve people, what did the traitor mean by leaving the body behind? Was he going to reveal that he was among the crowd?
If the corpse was not dropped by a traitor, then why did it appear in this world and why did other people in the sect also sneak in?
Yin's information was fed back to the sect, and the sect leader and mother were also very confused.

The other twenty-four elders were confirmed not to have gone out, and the traitor seemed to have been pinned down among eleven of them.

The evidence is so direct that it is hard to believe.

Before the twelve people could react, a new situation emerged.

The thick fog dissipated.

To be exact, they stepped into a strange complex of buildings that were hard to describe.
The thick fog covered the area like a shell, leaving the inside clean and refreshing.

If Xie Ling was still awake, he would be shocked by the unrecognizable buildings.

A forest of steel and concrete, a small town of modern buildings, stands abruptly in front of the masters of the world of immortal cultivation.

However, it was precisely because Xie Ling was in a coma that this modern town appeared here under the influence of some force.

Silver burned the paper first, but the jade paper failed to ignite successfully.

Others who had the same idea also discovered that the thick fog behind them hindered communication.

"Retreat? Or advance?"

Elder Tang didn't even wait for anyone to answer and retreated directly into the fog.

"Elder Tang?" Yin tried it with the magic bell.

After a while, Tang Xiuhou's figure emerged from the thick fog again.

The bell in his hand shook the moment he entered the place completely.

Well, everyone knew the answer. The bell only received the message when Tang Xiuhou entered this place again.

"This place is quite interesting." Tang Xiuhou raised the bell and shook it towards Yin, "The retreat route is smooth, let's go in and take a look?"

Everyone agreed and they walked towards the concrete jungle.

The whole town was nothing like any city in Xie Ling's memory of his previous life.
The unconscious Xie Ling had no idea about the emergence and layout of this city, just as the elders had no idea why the buildings were built like vertical coffins.

There are a total of fifteen buildings, which are surrounded and clustered together. The outermost layer has eight buildings, and the six buildings in the middle circle surround the tallest building in the center.

"Let's set the highest coffin in the center as the base point."

"If we can get there smoothly, I have no problem with that."

There were nine roads extending out of the town. Yin tentatively drew a line towards the one in front of him.
A long groove was cut in the road, but it was quickly filled by the surrounding black substance and solidified again.

"Alive?" Elder Sun's voice came from behind, and everyone else's eyes were also focused on the road.

"No, but it can switch between solid and liquid."

An elder took out an origami mouse from his sleeve and threw it onto the road. It turned into a real mouse and ran around on the road.

"No danger."

Elder Sun stood on the road and stamped his feet. Seeing nothing unusual, he stamped his feet again, and the road collapsed into a pit in an instant.

The black substance around turned into liquid again, flowing and filling the area before solidifying.

"It can only withstand attacks from the Jindan stage." Elder Sun commented.

"Elder Sun, you can try again. My eyes were blinded just now and I didn't see clearly."

Tang Xiuhou smiled obscenely, his eyes never leaving the mountain that had just shaken.

Elder Sun was not angry either. Everyone present knew what kind of person Tang was. He just walked along the road into the city.

Everyone follows.

Less than a thousand meters away, Elder Sun arrived in front of the outermost low building.

After some investigation, it was found that there was no sign of any living creature in this ugly one- or two-story house.

Others made the same discovery: most of the houses had locked doors but were empty inside.

Continuing to walk further inside, the twelve people explored separately and agreed to meet at the top floor in an hour.

Time passed slowly. There was no thick fog here. Everyone went from being cautious at the beginning to being fully aware later, and no one noticed anything unusual.

"empty."

Yin, who was the first to arrive at the center's top floor, lay on a soft and comfortable chair (sofa) and talked to Elder Tang, who came back second.

Tang curled his lips, found a similar sofa and lay down, waiting for others.

Elder Qian Xing was the last one to come back, exactly one hour later.

The results were the same as Silver's, no matter whether the buildings were large or small, or the small rooms in the strange tall buildings, they were all empty.

"What do you say? Should we continue to study these strange buildings here? Or should we use this place as a base and split up to act separately?"

"This place can't be used as a base. People outside can't contact those inside, and people inside can't contact those outside."

"I don't know if the people outside can receive the reminder of the formation when we set up the formation here."

"You can try. I am planning to leave. I feel uncomfortable in this coffin."

Elder Wang Sheng's proposal was agreed by many people, as they also did not like the upright coffin.

"Ding! We have reached the first floor."

The sudden sound made everyone alert, and Elder Wang Sheng, who was closest to the sound, had already thrown a punch.

The blow that should have caused a terrifying spiritual explosion did not happen. Wang Sheng, who was at an extremely high level of body refining, punched like an ordinary person at this moment, and didn't even produce a sonic boom.

Suffer!
Everyone present reacted quickly, trying to leave the building by jumping or flying, but without exception they fell to the ground.

Elder Sun once again experienced the suffering he had endured a thousand years ago.
The cushioning on her chest helped reduce the damage to her face, but the pain and heaviness still made it difficult for her to stand up.

Everyone was the same. The sudden loss of strength gave them no time to adapt. Elder Wang Sheng even had difficulty walking.

Beams of lights came on one by one, the entire first floor gradually became brighter, and the building's power system was restored.

The curtains that originally blocked the floor-to-ceiling windows opened automatically, allowing the sunlight outside to shine directly into the hall.

A spot of light appeared on the floor where everyone fell, and it circled the entire ground at a very fast speed.

Seeing the familiar circle light up, everyone rolled and crawled as hard as they could to escape from the circle.

The illuminated circle flowed inward, gradually forming a pattern with three light strips of varying lengths emanating from the center. It turned out to be a clock.

The crowd, who mistook it for a formation, were almost frightened to death, and then they slowly stood up.

Yin got up from the ground and looked at the time displayed on the clock below:
"Eight hours, twenty-nine minutes, fifty-five seconds."

The second hand struck the last five seconds, and at half past eight, the clock on the ground suddenly broke into colorful fireworks and combined into four new big words.

welcome.

At the same time, countless people suddenly appeared around them, wearing strange clothes and walking towards the elevator entrance.

Everyone was frightened by the human that appeared directly in their faces, and as they had lost all their strength, they remained in their positions and dared not move.

"Huh? A time-stop cosplay!"

A young man with a square shell on his back stopped beside them, saying something that Yin and the others could not understand at all.

"Don't look at it anymore. I guess there will be another visit today. If we don't clock in now, we'll be late."

"Wow, these cosplayers are so realistic. Just look at their eyes. They look like real time travelers!"

The man's exclamation attracted more and more people's attention, and many people specially checked in and ran back to watch.

There were three circles of boys surrounding Elder Sun, and three circles of girls surrounding Yin.

Although he couldn't understand what these people were saying, the place where their eyes rested made Elder Sun's anger soar.

As more and more people gathered, Elder Sun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared as he rushed towards the person with the most wretched face in the front.

With a thud, the terrified man was pinned to the ground and beaten violently by Elder Sun. Soon his cheeks and eyes became swollen and he cried out for his parents.

The crowd quickly retreated, forming a large encirclement, and several strong men dressed in black and blue clothes walked towards Elder Sun.

Seeing the danger, the five elders who usually had a good relationship with Sun quickly stopped these people and took action directly.
These people looked tall and strong, and they were holding something like sticks in their hands, but they had no power to fight back and were pinned to the ground the moment they made contact.

The other half also stopped maintaining their posture, and the crowd around them ignored them and all took out some small square magic weapons to attack the elders who were unilaterally committing violence.

The remaining six people who were not surrounded were just about to take out their weapons when they discovered that these people's magic weapons were all recording types, and the images in front were displayed on the weapons.

But Sun and the others couldn't see it. They could only see the magic weapon flashing towards them.
Several people drew their swords, some drew their knives, and pointed their weapons at the dark crowd.

The few people who were wailing at his feet fell silent immediately when they saw the gleaming swords and lay on the ground with their hands and feet spread wide.

The crowd around was silent for a second, and then seemed to become more excited. Although people were retreating, the encirclement became tighter and tighter, with more and more people coming.

Yin and the others were squeezed into the crowd and couldn't even stretch out their hands.

Suddenly, the crowd near the door made way for a passage, and several people holding shields as tall as a person came forward and slowly moved towards Sun and his group.
Several people behind him were holding strangely shaped objects, pointing them at the six elders.

Yin and five other people who were dressed completely differently from the people around them had their hands tied without any resistance.

His hands were tied with a magical weapon, and Yin was unable to break free, so he was pinned to the ground.

Seeing that the elders in the middle did not lay down their weapons and attacked those who came forward with shields,

Several rapid and deafening noises were heard, and the six elders fell to their knees in disbelief. They were restrained by magical instruments and their swords were taken away by the people who approached them.

I didn't expect this to be the outcome. The twelve elders were unable to use their cultivation and even lost their physical strength.

They were surrounded by countless people and pushed in a wheeled box, heading towards a building they had clearly inspected before.

The streets and ugly houses that were empty at that time were now crowded with people, and the roads were filled with moving boxes.

Soon they were taken to the ugly house, each of them placed in a separate cell.

Those people in strange costumes took turns asking them questions, but they spoke a language they could not understand.

The other party obviously didn't understand what they were saying, and several hours passed like this.
The six elders who did not fight with the group of people were restrained by magic weapons and sat together, while the six elders who did fight were locked in a room with vertical railings, facing them across the railings.

The sky outside had darkened and the twelve people were silent, unable to accept this reality.

"I've been hurt so much by you, dear Elder Sun." Elder Tang was the first to speak, still with his usual humble tone.

Elder Sun merely looked up at him and continued to study the magic weapon in his hand.

"I've observed that these people's bodies are not even as good as those of ordinary people outside. Except for a few of them, the others can't beat the child if they are released."

"But they have magic weapons, and they don't need spiritual power. I didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations."

"Just rocks. I saw them when they took them out. They took two small stones out of my legs."

"So the strange building outside is actually a formation. We entered the formation the moment we came in, and it lasted until it was successfully triggered."

Yin said nothing and did not join in the divergent thoughts of the other elders.

Guessing the triggering conditions and effects of the formation, as well as where the humans who suddenly appeared on his face came from.

He was very sensitive to the clock that appeared on the ground before, and he kept memorizing the time in his mind.

At 23:00, when the midnight arrived, the light in the house suddenly disappeared.

The elders were shocked to find that all their lost skills and strength had returned!

Elder Sun easily crushed the magic weapon in his hand, opened the railing, and went straight outside.

She wants to get her soft sword back and go on a killing spree!
But when he slammed the door open, the world outside returned to its original state.

There was no sign of any living being, and the buildings that had been brightly lit just a moment ago were now plunged into darkness.

All twelve elders came out, and they were all confused and puzzled by the situation before them.

Yin Zhao waved his hand, and a slightly shorter sword came out from the hole in the wall and returned to his hand.

The others also took back their weapons, disappeared from where they were the next second, and dispersed in all directions.

No, the area that was crowded with living beings just now was now completely gone, as if the humiliating experience they had just had was an illusion.

Elder Sun flew directly into the sky in anger, looking down at all the buildings from above. There was no thunder in the sky, and there was no no-fly zone here.

The elders also rose into the air and looked down at the "formation" beneath their feet.

"Is there anyone who is proficient in illusion? Am I awake or unconscious? Are you real or are you just an illusion?"

"It's all true." Tang Xiuhou was calm this time, and his tone was very serious.

There was no one organizing or communicating with each other. All of them spontaneously cast spells on the buildings below, knocking down and smashing the vertical coffins.

The city was destroyed by the exaggerated attack of the twelve elders. The steel bars and concrete were vulnerable to the spiritual power of the immortal world and were directly reduced to powder.

Yin flew into the thick fog first. He wanted to burn a piece of paper.

The other elders also stood up, but Qian Xing and Tang Xiuhou fell towards the ashes.

"Boom!" Someone's move exploded in front of the thick fog. Several elders who were about to enter the thick fog all stood at the junction.

Silver's squinting eyes opened fully and stared at the thick fog.

The thick fog, which could have allowed them to leave at any time, now kept him and everyone else out.

The retreat is blocked!
