Chapter 56

After Lin Mo left the place where he was stationed, he moved forward all the way, walking towards the place where the sound was transmitted.

Although there was nothing to do now, Lin Mo could still judge the general direction.

Just like that, time passed.

Lin Mo walked along the road in front of him and finally arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Here, one could see houses built of wood.

However, the houses looked very messy.

"Were they attacked by Hilichurls or monsters?"

Looking at this scene, Lin Mo stepped forward, took a simple look at the surrounding houses, sized them up, and pondered: "There are no traces of doors and windows being destroyed, and there are no traces of destruction around. As for the doors, they are all locked and cannot be pried open."

"However, the sundries at the door are very neat, clearly someone has lived here, but the people here have disappeared."

"If they were kidnapped by monsters, then there is no reason for it to be so neat."

"But if they were not kidnapped, then what is the reason that caused the people here to leave quickly?"

Lin Mo sized up the surroundings while looking at the surrounding houses, and checked them simply.

He quickly analyzed several important points.

"The window of this house is open, but there are no valuables inside, just some simple furniture."

Lin Mo observed while walking, and soon observed that the window of one house was not closed tightly.

He immediately walked over.

Judging from the open window, this window was not closed in time, and inside, besides simple tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks, there were no other valuable things.

These tables and chairs were made of wood and were not valuable things either.

"No traces of monster attacks, no traces of assault and destruction, but someone lived here before."

"It's just that for some reason, the people here left quickly, and they even left in a hurry, not even closing the windows of one house."

"But more of them were actively locked doors, which means that the people who lived here originally mostly closed their doors and windows and left quickly."

"There is some danger that drove them away."

"But for the people living here, the danger must come from the outside."

"For example, attacks by monsters or magical beasts."

"But there are no traces of any monsters or Hilichurls coming here."

Lin Mo whispered while walking.

He quickly walked through the place here.

He even walked around the outside to observe carefully and found no traces left by monsters.

Whether it is Hilichurls or Mitachurls, once they attack people, there will inevitably be traces left behind.

But there are no traces around.

Even slimes are not there.

This is also a very safe place, with no threat of magical beasts around.

Then why would the people here leave in such a hurry?

"Strange sound."

While thinking, Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that legend?"

"In the past Liyue, there were bandits in the suburbs of Liyue mountains, and they would blow a strange horn before every raid."

"That eerie horn sound was not to set the atmosphere, but a threat to the weak, a kind of warning."

"To save their lives, the villagers fled their homes overnight, taking as much property as they could, unable to care about anything else."

"Later, the bandits were captured, but the shadow of fear at that time remained in the hearts of the villagers forever."

"This also led to some mountain people later hearing that horn sound and subconsciously feeling that bandits were visiting, so they fled in a panic." ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
