Chapter 417: Unable to Break Free

She weakly uttered a single word and then couldn't say anything more.

Yaohua couldn't bear it any longer and covered her chest with her hand. She felt a violent upheaval happening inside her body.

Noticing Yaohua's state, Chongming's face darkened to the point that it seemed as if water would drip from it. He used more magical power to check on Yaohua. Finally, when he scanned her heart, he found something wrong!

The heart that should have been beating regularly was now beating very slowly. Moreover, Chongming also found a ball of white light on Yaohua's heart.

After carefully examining what that white light was, Chongming let out a big sigh of relief.

"It's okay." Chongming involuntarily tightened his grip on Yaohua's hand, which he had never let go of. There was a tension in his voice that he himself didn't even notice. "It's the Primordial Pearl. Try to feel it carefully. Can you sense its presence?"

Hearing this, Yaohua couldn't help but slow down her breathing. She circulated her true qi and slowly felt inside her body for a while. Surprisingly, she really felt the aura of the Primordial Pearl. Besides that, there was also the aura of the Phoenix True Fire, which she was very familiar with.

The Phoenix True Fire slowly circulated inside her body. As soon as she sensed the existence of this power, Yaohua seemed to be attracted to it. She involuntarily began to absorb and manipulate this power.

While she was casting the spell, the aura of the Primordial Pearl inside her body actually slowly merged with the Phoenix True Fire!

The pain inside her body disappeared. Yaohua closed her eyes, slowed down her breathing, and calmly and orderly manipulated this power.

After a moment, her body returned to calm. Yaohua opened her eyes again, a bit excited. "I've absorbed that power!"

Saying that, Yaohua tried to use a spell again. This time, the spell she cast actually carried the power of the Primordial Pearl!

This change was something Yaohua had never expected. She was overjoyed for a moment. She didn't expect that this trip with Chongming would bring such a pleasant surprise!

The joy on Yaohua's face was hard to hide. When she looked at Chongming with a smile, she blinked her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw several figures flash by in her sight.

The scene appeared in an instant. Yaohua blinked her eyes, thinking that she might have seen it wrong. But when she looked forward again, those figures appeared again. In just an instant, her sight was blocked by the houses in front.

The smile on her face slowly disappeared. Yaohua was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she realized that this town was a bit too quiet.

Especially those figures she had just seen. There was something extremely strange about them.

"Chongming, I think there's something wrong here." As soon as she said this, Yaohua realized that it was extremely quiet all around.

In this place, she couldn't even feel the slightest bit of the hustle and bustle of the human world.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Yaohua made a prompt decision. "Let's go and check it out."

While she was speaking, Chongming had already started to act very cooperatively.

The two of them had profound magical power. Finding a few people was as easy as eating. In an instant, they caught up with those people just now.

With the intention of investigating, the two deliberately didn't get close. Instead, they followed those people at a distance.

This time, Yaohua immediately found out why she had felt something was wrong just now!

Her premonition was right. Those people walked stiffly and mechanically. There was even a thick aura of death covering them. They were definitely not alive!

This discovery made Yaohua's heart skip a beat. She pursed her lips and cast a spell. Her magical power quickly swept through every corner of this small town.

Not only those people she had seen, but there was not a single living person in this town!

Yaohua's face instantly turned extremely ugly. This place was still within the scope of the human world. Such a strange thing must have a reason!

However, after carefully searching with her magical power, Yaohua didn't find the slightest bit of the aura of demons.

This Flower Town seemed to have become like this out of thin air.

At this time, Yaohua's hand was suddenly squeezed. Then Chongming's voice came. "This place has become like this. There must be something causing trouble."

If they wanted to know the truth, they had to find the root cause of the matter.

Fortunately, before they set off, she had asked her elder brother to continue looking for Dandan. Yaohua hesitated for a while. In the end, she still decided to follow her heart and find out what was going on here first.

As soon as she said her plan, Chongming immediately agreed.

Yaohua cast a tracking spell on those zombies she had seen. And Chongming finally let go of her hand. He walked up to a house on the street and broke open the closed door.

After that, the two checked several houses one after another. Without exception, there was no one in any of them.

"It's too strange." Although she already knew that there were no living people in this town, after checking one house after another, Yaohua still couldn't help but be amazed.

Yaohua frowned tightly. For some reason, she had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Even a slight frown didn't escape Chongming's sharp eyes.

Yaohua shook her head. After thinking for a while, she said, "We probably won't be able to find anything in this town for a while. We'd better follow those people."

Saying that, Yaohua activated the tracking spell she had cast on those people just now. She found that they were now at the edge of the town. Judging from the direction, they should be going to a mountain outside the town.

"Let's go." As soon as the words fell, the two figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the two were at the entrance of the town.

However, as soon as their feet landed on the ground, Yaohua was instantly startled by the scene in front of her!

There were dense figures in front of her. Before Yaohua could even react, those "people" were like wild beasts that had smelled blood. They automatically locked their targets on them.

"Be careful!" Chongming's slightly raised voice came from her ear. Then Yaohua was pulled back a few steps.

The dense "people" were stretching out their hands and slowly approaching them.

It was as if they had been thrown into a closed and crowded space. Every thing they touched would cause harm to their bodies.

Yaohua immediately felt a chill run down her spine and felt a bit nauseous.

Chongming beside her was already fighting against wave after wave of "people". Yaohua moved her throat. She was just about to cast a spell by pinching the incantation with her fingers when a sharp pain suddenly shot through her head!

Just once, Yaohua felt as if her head was about to split open. And that sharp pain was still intensifying without any sign of stopping.

In the intense pain, there seemed to be a voice in her head guiding Yaohua to a certain place.

Yaohua blinked her unfocused eyes and involuntarily took a step forward.

"Yaohua!" Chongming shouted. His face looked extremely ugly.

He moved to chase after her, but those "people" seemed to be deliberately going against him. They swarmed up densely.

These people seemed to have no sense of pain. Even after the spells hit their bodies, they still rushed up regardless.

For a moment, Chongming was actually forced to be unable to break free.
