Soon, the old man closed the doors and windows, then let out a sigh of relief.
“I talked for too long and almost forgot to close the door.”
Qin Xuan nodded, looking at the apologetic old man, and didn't question anything because of it.
After all, for him, they were more familiar with the situation here.
Moreover, on the way here, he did see some unclean things.
Qin Xuan still remembered the humanoid figure at that time.
Although he could only see a human silhouette.
But for some reason, in his heart, he never regarded that thing as a human being from beginning to end.
Humanoid but not human...
A hint of tension inexplicably arose in Qin Xuan’s heart.
Inside the stone house, Qin Xuan lit an oil lamp, brightening the already dim room a little.
“Elder, do the doors and windows here have to be closed before sunset?”
After chatting with the old man for a few moments, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, the old man beside him sighed and nodded.
“That’s right, we told Young Master that there were unclean things here when he wanted to leave earlier.”
“That’s right, every night when the sun sets, these unclean things come out.”
The old man explained to Qin Xuan.
“At this time, only hiding in this stone house is safe; those unclean things don’t dare to casually approach this stone house.”
Don’t dare to approach the stone house?
Could it be that some defensive Formation was set up around this stone house?
Qin Xuan was puzzled.
The old man just shook his head.
“Little brother, we are just Mortals; how could we set up any Formations? These stone houses were already here when our ancestors were brought here. We don’t even know who built these stone houses, let alone set up Formations.”
This made Qin Xuan feel even stranger.
Normally, those unclean things shouldn’t be afraid of these stones, right?
Could it be that these stones are not simple?
“I heard it from the older generation.”
The old man frowned and lowered his voice.
“The stone houses here are all built from stones extracted after Spirit Stones are mined from the mining area. I heard that these stones carry a certain aura from underground, and these unclean things don’t dare to casually approach them.”
Carrying a certain aura from underground?
Qin Xuan had not thought of this at all.
What kind of aura could be from underground?
“These stones were brought from the mining area?”
Qin Xuan was somewhat interested. He walked to the stone house and gently raised his hand to touch the stone wall of the stone house.
“This!”
The moment his fingertips touched the stone, Qin Xuan immediately frowned tightly.
These stones of the stone house actually vaguely carried a trace of the Tai Huang Era Aura!
Although this Taihuang Aura was extremely faint, so faint that ordinary Mortals couldn't detect it at all.
With Qin Xuan’s strength, he naturally recognized the Taihuang Aura contained within at a glance.
How could these stones contain Taihuang Aura?
Qin Xuan was puzzled. Just as he wanted to continue studying these stones, the wind outside suddenly grew louder.
“Woo woo…”
The sound of the wind was as if something was whimpering, making one's hair stand on end.
“This is…”
Qin Xuan turned his head to ask, only to see the old man make a shushing gesture to him.
Qin Xuan naturally knew the other party was worried, so he nodded to him and stopped speaking, merely looking outside through the crack in the door.
Outside had already grown dim at this time.
After the sun set, the surroundings began to grow darker and darker.
Qin Xuan slowly looked outside, wanting to see what was truly out there.
After watching for a long time, there was only wind constantly howling outside, with nothing else.
Could it be that these people were just scaring themselves?
Qin Xuan was a little suspicious; he hadn't seen anything at all.
Is there really something out there?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a figure hurrying from outside Stone Village towards one of the stone houses.
“It’s Aunt Li, why is she coming back so late?”
The Little Girl was anxious, watching the figure hurrying back from outside.
“It’s not completely dark yet, I hope Aunt Li is alright!”
The Little Girl said anxiously, biting her lower lip tightly.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, watched through the crack in the door, wanting to see what would happen.
“Open the door, open the door quickly!”
The figure rushed to a stone house and slammed on the door, wanting the person inside to open it.
But no matter how she knocked, the door remained tightly shut, and no one opened it.
“Whoosh!”
The wind suddenly intensified.
Listening to the wind outside, the Little Girl, who had been about to speak, quickly covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.
Qin Xuan’s brows also furrowed tightly!
This was no ordinary wind; he couldn't sense the wind attribute within it at all.
“Whoosh!”
A black wind vortex appeared nearby and blew towards the woman.
“No!”
The woman screamed, seeing that the door still hadn't opened, and hastily began to run towards the other side.
But how could her speed outrun the wind vortex!
As the wind vortex swept past, the woman’s voice abruptly ceased.
A shower of blood rained down, and moments later, a human skin slowly drifted down.
“Damn it!”
Qin Xuan felt his teeth ache.
From the appearance of the whirlwind next to the woman to its passing, only a few breaths had elapsed, and the woman had turned into a human skin!
And the whirlwind had also changed from black to tinged with red.
This thing is actually so terrifying!
Qin Xuan felt a little weak in his heart.
Although the Refining God Cauldron also had Taihuang Aura.
But if he really flew out alone in the middle of the night, he might encounter all sorts of strange things.
“Grandpa!”
The Little Girl was also greatly frightened by what she had just witnessed.
She trembled and retreated to the side.
“Clang!”
Because she retreated too quickly, she accidentally knocked over a nearby stool, making a sound.
“Whoosh!”
The black whirlwind blew towards this side, but because the stone house was blocking it in front, the whirlwind couldn't blow in.
However, the whirlwind brought sand and stones from the surroundings, constantly smashing against the stone house, and the area around the stone house became noisy for a time.
Qin Xuan’s expression was somewhat stern; he stared intently at the black whirlwind in front of him.
He wanted to see what exactly was inside this black whirlwind.
“Whoosh!”
The black whirlwind coiled around the stone house, trying to destroy it.
However, these black whirlwinds seemed to be very afraid of the Taihuang Aura around the stone house, so the black whirlwind could not rush in.
Perhaps it was because of the noise the Little Girl made earlier, more and more black whirlwinds began to appear around them.
As the whirlwinds descended and night fell, more and more whirlwinds appeared here.
The old man held the Little Girl tightly, vigilantly staring outside.
Qin Xuan stood at the doorway, unmoved.
“There must be something inside this black whirlwind, otherwise these whirlwinds should have dispersed long ago.”
Han Ye transmitted a message to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes close to the crack in the door, staring intently at that side.
Just as he looked over, a pair of red eyes appeared from within the black whirlwind and met Qin Xuan’s gaze.
“Boom!”
Qin Xuan’s mind reeled, his consciousness momentarily hazy.
For an instant, a sudden urge to open the door and walk out arose within his heart.
Just as he was about to reach out, his powerful Mental Energy immediately broke free from the restraint.
“What is that!”
The moment he regained consciousness, Qin Xuan immediately took a step back.
The thing outside actually wanted to manipulate his mind and make him open the door.
If his Mental Energy hadn't been strong enough, he would have fallen for it just now.
When he looked again, the pair of red eyes in the black whirlwind were no longer visible.
“Playing tricks!”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly and immediately mobilized his Taihuang Aura to attack the black whirlwind.
As soon as the Taihuang Aura spread out, the black whirlwind immediately lunged towards it.
“Courting death!”
Under Qin Xuan’s control, the Taihuang Aura also rushed towards the black whirlwind.
The moment the black whirlwind and the Taihuang Aura met, a shrill scream came from within the whirlwind.
“Thud!”
Something fell, and then the black whirlwind quickly left the area.
“What was that?”
Qin Xuan looked at the ground; a several-inch-long black sharp claw was submerged in green blood.
This is…
Qin Xuan was stunned.
When the Taihuang Aura attacked just now, the monster hiding in the black whirlwind let out a sharp, miserable scream.
It seems this is the claw that monster dropped.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan did not open the door but waited quietly there.
The black whirlwind quickly left this area and soon disappeared without a trace.
Qin Xuan watched at the doorway for a long time, until he was sure that the black whirlwind would not reappear, then he carefully tried to open the door.
“Little brother, it’s too dangerous outside!”
Qin Xuan shook his head, pointed at the sharp claw dropped by the monster outside, and smiled.
“Elder, don’t worry, that thing has already run away!”
The old man also looked outside from inside the house, and seeing that there was no longer a whirlwind, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Little brother is truly an Immortal Master who keeps his abilities hidden; it seems I misjudged you, old man.”
