"Brother, who is the person in this bloody ball of light? Have you seen it clearly?"
Seeing that the veteran didn't continue, the young soldier quickly opened his eyes and grabbed his arm, asking anxiously. It was obvious that his curiosity had been completely aroused at this time.
Behind him, there were two other pairs of eyes that were as wide as bells, waiting for the older soldier's final answer.
"The ball of light condensed with blood was so dazzling that I never saw who the figure inside was."
Unfortunately, what the older soldier said next made the three people who had been listening so far a little disappointed. If it wasn't for the sake of staying hidden, Li Muzhen would have wanted to go up and slap him without looking at the key things.
"But, haha, after I saw such a terrifying scene that day, I didn't stop. If I were discovered, I would probably end up like those untouchables. On the way down the mountain quickly, guess what I saw?"
"I saw the bloody horse in our city lord's palace! It was tied to a tree in the woods outside the mountain col. The pores on the horse were swollen and dripping with sweat. It looked like someone had just ridden it. "
The old soldier's turn suddenly stunned the new recruits who were already a little distracted. This sweaty horse in the city lord's palace was Gongsun Qi's heart and soul. No one in the entire Lishui City would dare to ride on it. .
"Then...then...could it be...the city lord?"
The facts were very obvious. Although he had already guessed in his mind, he actually found out that the city lord was actually an extremely evil demon cultivator. The young soldier was also a little shocked and speechless.
"Shh, don't say your name out loud. Just know it in your heart. Do you still remember that we soldiers who guard the stronghold will receive a blood-red pill every month?"
When the veteran saw that the young soldier was about to shout Gongsun Qi's name, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Even though there was no one here, the city lord's name was still not mentioned easily.
"Hmm, how could I not remember? This blood-colored elixir is so miraculous. All of our brothers who took it have improved by leaps and bounds. I have already reached the halfway stage of elixir formation. It is really possible to break through to the elixir formation realm in this life. "
When the older soldiers mentioned the blood-colored elixir, the new recruits immediately became excited. Patrolling and guarding underground strongholds and secret passages that were hidden from the light of day was already a hard job. Compared with the members of the Guards who had a lot of money in the city, the conditions were really good. It’s too hard.
I had complained in my heart, but at the end of the month, after the commander distributed the magical blood-colored elixir to everyone, all the negative emotions were swept away, because everyone's strength improved after taking this elixir. has been significantly improved.
Although these people are just ordinary soldiers who have not embarked on the path of immortality, they have all been practicing since childhood. Most of them had already accepted their fate and were ready to live like this for the rest of their lives, but the blood-colored elixir given by the city lord completely inspired them. Motivation for them to climb the fairy road again.
Once you form the elixir, you will have the opportunity to join the sect. Even if you don't succeed and become a casual cultivator and work as a guard for a big force, the treatment will definitely not be comparable to what it is now.
With this being the case, who would have any complaints?
"Let me ask you, where do you think this kind of pill that can improve your strength but tastes like blood comes from?"
The older soldiers looked indifferently at the juniors who were related to them by blood. It turned out that this unique-tasting elixir was likely to be refined from the blood of some powerful demonic beast, and this was how effective it was.
But after experiencing that night, he knew in his heart that the pills used to win them over were real human blood pills.
"Could it be...no way? The elixir given to us by the city lord also passed..."
The young soldier was only in his early twenties. Although he was not a good person, he couldn't accept the fact that living people were used to practice. Thinking of the smell of blood when taking the elixir, he started to retch.
"Don't get cheap and be good. Let you practice on your own. You may not be able to touch the threshold of the Danjing Realm in your life. It's not you who killed those untouchables. If you tell me that you can cultivate to the Transformation Infant Realm by killing a thousand people, I have absolutely no hesitation, the fairy world is a place where the weak and the strong prey on each other, either you die or I die."
The older soldier raised his head and poured all the wine in the pot into his mouth, and then patted the recruit beside him with his hand. The indifference and cruelty conveyed in his words made Li Mu and Liu Long beside him stare. He shrank and wondered who these Gongsun Qi's subordinates were, who could actually say such words so calmly.
These people are no longer human at all, but outright demons, walking zombies devoured by endless greed.
"Let's go, finish the patrol quickly and go back to change shifts. I want to go to the Peacock Tower to have a cool time with the top names in the evening."
The older soldier picked up the spear from the ground and urged the new recruits to stop sitting and get up quickly to complete the night's task. After drinking a large bottle of wine, the two of them could no longer keep a straight line when walking, so they continued to stagger along the secret passage. patrol.
"Huh, Brother Liu, it is indeed Gongsun Qi. He forcibly recruits troops, arrests casual cultivators, and then drives your garrison outside the city. All this is to achieve the purpose of practicing evil skills. This beast and devil has not been able to do anything for so long. Do you know how many people were killed?"
Li Mu's eyes were flashing with anger. Although he did not have a Holy Mother's heart, facing such cruel methods, any cultivator with a conscience would be filled with righteous indignation and wish he could kill Gongsun Qi immediately.
"Listening to the old bastard's description, Gongsun Qi practices a very advanced evil skill. It seems that he has been using innocent civilians as 'feed' for his cultivation over the years. But with such an evil skill, he Where did it come from?"
Liu Long frowned tightly as he was thinking about the whole story. Now that the fog has been lifted, there are still many doubts.
"Don't think about it, it must be the gift of the mysterious black-robed force. I have dealt with them several times, and almost all of their methods are so bloody. This seems to be a belief of theirs, regardless of their skills or martial arts. It’s the elixirs and methods, all of them are so cruel and weird.”
The methods mentioned by the two Guards soldiers forced Li Mu to associate them with the black-robed forces, the Nangong family's blood demon pill, the beast tamer's bloody fury, the living dead in the strange village in the mountains, and the coveted All of the Fang family's massacre of the village with the Blood God Art has revealed where the evil skills that Gongsun Qi practiced came from.
"Let's follow them first and let them take us back to the stronghold. If it is true as they say, there should be many civilians imprisoned there, and we must rescue them."
The clues have not been connected yet, and the two of them cannot draw a conclusion directly, but the situation of the stronghold mentioned in the previous conversation between the two guards should be close to ten, and the imprisoned people must be rescued, otherwise they will only have to wait for them. It can be called Gongsun Qi's "ration".
Li Mu and Liu Long looked at the swaying Guards soldiers in the distance and followed them. Tonight, a rescue was inevitable.
