Chapter 1343: The Buddha In The Sky
Ye Qing was certain that the danger was floating somewhere in the night sky. He just couldn’t see it.
Now that he thought about it, this was the first time his Yin Yang Spell Eyes failed to identify something.
Ye Qing did not want to stir trouble, so he did not probe more than was necessary. He withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and rested.
Obviously, the cold in the room could not affect him in the slightest.
As time passed, the temperature inside the stone room grew colder and colder. It was to the point where the other occupants in the room were almost fully encased in ice. It would not be surprising if they stopped breathing at any moment.
Still, not a single person dared to leave the house or make any noise. It was as if they would rather freeze to death than face the horrors outside.
If the occupants of this house were like this, then the others probably fared no better. Maybe they weren’t contending with the cold, but it had to be some other hell that made them wish they were dead.
And that was the problem. Not everyone could endure such a long period of torture and pain. Some of these people left their houses, and some people unconsciously made a noise.
The second they succumbed, a pitch black, formless, and intangible arm would appear soundlessly behind their back and grab them. Then, it would drag them into the night sky.
It did not matter where the victim was, how many of them made a noise at the same time, or how loud they were being. The arm would always accurately and effortlessly drag them into the night sky at first notice. It was quite terrifying.
This was why the screams were pretty sparse during the first half of the night, but very dense during the second half.
