"laugh--"
In the mountain forest at night, cold light flickers.
A rat bigger than a stone was smashed head-on. Before it fell to the ground, it had already turned into black smoke and dissipated.
A bad smell lingered in the air, then dissipated.
The mountains in the dark night are like an endless sea, and any dirty water and turbid current can be easily eliminated.
"Another one, there are too many ferocious beasts around here."
Black Widow shook her head and put away the knife in her sleeve.
She has always been able to use frightening silk, but operating this soft silk in the dark is too hard on the eyes, and it is not as convenient as swords and guns.
Not just her, the group of people on the left and right were holding weapons, each cleaning up and moving forward. Only Meng Huazhou was holding a compass, staring at the needles and various patterns on it, mumbling.
It was late at night at this time, and it had been half a day since the few people entered Xishan, from afternoon to evening, and from dusk to late night.
Jinshan was fine at the beginning, but the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, narrow and difficult to navigate. Naturally, they were not afraid of these experts. Even the two guides were walking on flat ground.
However, after walking for a while, we gradually entered the deep mountains and it was getting late. The two guides refused to leave, saying that the front was a restricted area and there were monsters eating people.
Meng Huazhou naturally didn't take it seriously and said he would pay more and let the guide just lead the way.
The two old hunters were greedy for money, so they walked a few miles more. Suddenly a ferocious beast emerged from behind the tree. If Tang Zhao hadn't taken action in time, one of them would have been killed long ago.
Now the two guides refused to leave even if they asked for more money. Meng Huazhou simply threw them two pieces of money and told them to get out.
The two guides took the money and showed their kindness. The younger one even advised: "Sir, the mountains are really not a place for people to go. Why don't you all retreat? Nothing is as important as your life."
However, the elder saw that the atmosphere was not right and took him away. The two of them went out with the money to discuss what they wanted to talk about: "It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words" and the like.
Meng Huazhou called for everyone to go inside, but the others did not flinch.
After walking for a while, we occasionally saw traces of ferocious beasts in the woods, behind big rocks, and under cliffs. As we walked further back, there were more ferocious beasts and they had already begun to attack.
Tang Zhao was very surprised. It was not that he had never seen ferocious beasts before. On the contrary, he had seen a lot of ferocious beasts. When he was an intern at the District Procurement Department when dealing with small evils, he basically dealt with ferocious beasts, so he knew very well how to deal with evil beasts. The frequency with which ferocious beasts appear.
The frequency of ferocious beasts appearing in the Western Mountains was higher than that of ordinary minor evils. Apart from the Devil's Cave, he really couldn't imagine where else there would be so many ferocious beasts.
It made him want to report it to the District Procuratorate.
But then he remembered that this place might not be under the control of the inspection department.
Meng Huazhou was happy to see these ferocious beasts and said: "This is the right place. Everyone - I found out through research that the fairy city was not destroyed by the invasion of demons, but by a sinister disaster. Among the sinister disasters were demons and The fairies fought, and the Demon Cave and the Fairy City perished together. The remaining Fairy City floated away, while the Demon Cave was shattered. But the Demon Cave is a Demon Cave after all, and there may still be fragments falling underground, and the Yin Qi breeds many ferocious beasts. For more than a hundred years, although Some may have scattered, but there are still many that survived.”
Black Widow nodded. Although she didn't have first-hand information, she had worked hard to study the book, and she also speculated this way. It seems that the person who wrote it is not a swordsman or a master who has been on the front line. She does not understand the source of the evil. She still writes according to the traditional approach of "evil heretics, demons and ghosts". She has been on the front line, has seen the devil's cave, and can learn from it. Discover the shadow of the real world.
If it is a fragment from the Demon Cave, it is normal for the Yin Qi to remain for more than a hundred years.
If the Yin Qi is free, it will not last long. There is a way to metabolize yin energy between heaven and earth, and that is sunlight. In places with sunny skies, the Yin Qi dissipates easily, but when it comes to places with continuous haze, or in corners covered by mountains, the Yin Qi will naturally linger for a long time, and another group of ferocious beasts will appear at some point. .
And once there is the shelter of the devil's cave, the Yin energy can take root in the human world, just like the sun, which rotates forever with the sunrise and sunset. It shrinks in the devil's cave during the day, and comes out at night, polluting one in the east and one in the west. , within a few years, an area has become a paradise for ferocious beasts.
Black Widow said: "If there is a devil's cave here, why is there no inspector? After all, Xishan is still Yunzhou's territory."
Tang Zhao wanted to say: "This Xishan Mountain is considered military control. There are troops stationed in the mountain. Even if there is a magic cave, it will probably have to be dealt with by the garrison first. It is difficult for the inspection department to manage it." But with his status, he definitely cannot say this.
Even though the Black Widow said this, Meng Huazhou couldn't help but think: The old man could see clearly that this woman was always thinking about the Prosecution Department, and she was indeed a double-hearted person. Can’t wait to dedicate the entire villa?
He became more determined to kill, but only said: "We are almost there."
As he spoke, he kept turning the compass.
"According to my determination, within a radius of twenty miles, this is the place where the Xu family's predecessors saw the fairy city." Meng Huazhou said, "But there are too many ferocious beasts here. Let's split up and clear them out, and make peace The place is so I can arrange the ceremony. Otherwise, even if it is arranged, I am afraid it will be destroyed."
As he spoke, he took out the map, unfolded it, and distributed the areas on fire to everyone.
"Let's define our own areas. No one will drive away the ferocious beasts in one direction. Senior Sister Xu is in the northwest, Brother Yu is in the northeast, Senior Sister Yin is in the southwest, Brother Tang..."
Tang Zhao said: "I will go to the south with the village owner."
Meng Huazhou said: "It will be faster if we each patrol separately."
Tang Zhao grinned and said, "I don't. Master Yin and I will never separate."
Meng Huazhou's expression was stiff, and Yu Sichen was excited and said with a smile: "Okay, Ah Yao and I are together, so we will take care of the north. You and Yue come to the east and west, so that all sides are taken care of. Senior Shangguan will mediate in the middle."
Meng Huazhou got lucky and knew that they would not give him a chance to take advantage of them, so he could only say: "That's fine."
He then solemnly said: "Everyone, tonight is just a drill. The fairy city will not come tomorrow. Kill the ferocious beasts if they can. If you can't kill them, call for help in time. It's not a shame for everyone to do it together. But there is a section where I saw something special. Don't act rashly with things, especially white things, things that glow at night, and white things. You must come back and tell me, and I will handle it. That may be a key clue. If you move it randomly, it may cut off the way to heaven. "
At that moment, everyone separated. Black Widow and Tang Zhao walked together. The two of them went directly south and swept away the ferocious beasts when they saw them. It was mainly Black Widow who took action. Tang Zhao mainly focused on picking up leaks and was not the main force. Instead, he watched all directions, listened to all directions, and put his mind on other things.
Black Widow killed a ferocious beast and said with a smile: "Looking at how careful you are, do you think he will kill me tonight before he can wait until he reaches the fairy city?"
Tang Zhao said: "It's not impossible. He took over his father's death order, and the order to kill you may be in order before he searches for the fairy city."
Black Widow sighed: "I don't know where I offended their father and son. It's like a mad dog chasing me and biting me. With you watching, I'm not worried down there. I'm just afraid that he will take action when he comes to Fairy City, which is his home court."
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "I am also a little worried. I found that he knows more about the fairy city than I thought. He has actually surveyed the terrain of this place long ago and already has a plan in mind. The guides are all pretentious, and the compass and other things are more He's just pretending to make us think he's not familiar with him, so we take it lightly."
Black Widow let out a sigh and said, "Really? Is the compass just for show?"
Tang Zhao said: "His compass... is actually used by our Talisman Sword Masters, specifically to measure the attributes of Talisman Elements. I don't know where he got it in exchange. He probably thinks this compass is very gorgeous and looks very professional? Use that to measure directions. , He can detect shit! He has already memorized the surrounding terrain, and even drew the map. I guess he even figured out where the fragments of the Devil's Cave are, but he just didn't tell us, leaving the Yin people behind. "
He said seriously: "So, Sister Yin, don't leave my sight here."
Black Widow smiled and said: "Okay. Our Azhao has grown up and is really reliable."
She asked again: "Do you think he was being mysterious when he asked us to pay attention to the glowing white things? Or is he collecting other things and just using the white things as a shield?"
Tang Zhao pondered, and finally said: "I don't know either. Logically speaking, you shouldn't lie on such a critical issue. I don't believe that he really doesn't want to find Yunzhong City. Let's not be fooled by the appearance, let go of inspiration, and find the best solution. Something special.”
Black Widow said: "Then it has to be you."
She knew that Tang Zhao's inspiration was astonishingly strong. If there was any discovery, it would be Tang Zhao who discovered it. She could take a break. Moreover, people with strong inspiration are often injured by inexplicable external forces. Only swordsmen have swords and can protect themselves. . It is very dangerous for people who are not swordsmen to indulge their inspiration at will.
The two chatted and killed the ferocious beasts all the way. As they kept killing, they felt that there were more and more ferocious beasts.
Originally, those ferocious beasts were still one in the east and one in the west. Some of them attacked actively, and some were timid and ran away directly. But gradually, those ferocious beasts seemed to have smelled the fishy smell of cats, and they took the initiative to pounce out. The attacks were very fierce, and they came one after another in an endless stream.
One or two were fine, but Black Widow killed dozens of them in a row, and then felt a little powerless. Tang Zhao stepped forward to add a few more swords. Black Widow did a little trimming, found a few big trees, and wrapped the frightening silk around the trees several times, as if weaving a net. The nets were formed among the trees, like a enchantment array.
When the weaving was almost finished, the black widow called Tang Zhao and said, "Come in and have a rest."
The two of them retreated into the net, and saw the ferocious beasts rushing towards them. They were immediately cut into pieces by invisible thin lines and turned into black energy. The two of them sat and rested in the web, like two spiders waiting for prey.
Tang Zhao praised: "This formation is good. It is especially suitable for ferocious beasts. If an ordinary beast is cut, it will inevitably be stained with flesh and blood, and the thread will become sticky and lose its sharpness. This ferocious beast does not leave a body and can keep cutting. Meng Huazhou said he wanted to Setting up formations is mostly just for show, Sister Yin is the only one who can set up formations."
Black Widow looked at the endless stream of ferocious beasts, and her own frightening threads were gone. The big trees wrapped with silk threads gradually couldn't bear the strength and were crumbling. She said: "You said this ferocious beast is crazy. Is there a hidden hand? It's Meng Huazhou's fault. Is it? Or is it a beast?"
Tang Zhao said: "Meng Huazhou is not nearby, I can be sure. It doesn't look like a beast..."
Beast Charm commands the ferocious beasts in a systematic way, even like marching to fight. The ferocious beasts here are at best aroused and chaotic. Even if it is a beast charm, I am afraid it is a bad beast charm.
At this time, Tang Zhao thought of the incident mentioned before and let go of his inspiration.
With the practice of sword heart, Tang Zhao's inspiration became more solid and majestic, covering a large forest.
After a while, Tang Zhao noticed something. He glanced at the black widow and did not leave. Instead, he swung his sword.
A ray of light seemed to have spirituality, flying out and passing through the thick woods in the dark night.
At the other end of the woods, under the tall trees and among the dense bushes, there was a white shadow hiding there. The light was in front of me in the blink of an eye.
"Got you!"
