Following Yulia up the corridor, through the narrow corridor, the entire hotel was filled with a dark and damp atmosphere, with only the oil lamps on the wall still emitting a faint light.
Every time you take a step, you can hear the creaking sound of the wooden boards under your feet. Due to poor sound insulation, you can even hear the vague exchanges of guests in the room.
Yulia was a little scared. She followed Jiang Chenchuan and walked around a corner. She saw Chudong waiting at the door. When she saw them coming, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally here."
"What's wrong? What's going on in the room?"
Jiang Chenchuan stepped forward and asked, and the boss followed suit, holding an oil lamp and following at the end of the team without saying a word.
Chudong and Yulia looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces. They couldn't say anything, so they had no choice but to open the door with the key and let them in.
The room was dark, nothing could be seen without a light on, and there would be an unnatural sound when the door was opened. There seemed to be something hidden in the shadowed corners, peering at me.
It was really an uncomfortable place, with a strange atmosphere permeating everywhere. Yulia and Chudong's boxes were open, and the daily items inside were scattered around.
At first glance, there were only two beds side by side, a set of worn-out tables and chairs, and nothing else.
"In the bathroom."
Yulia whispered something behind Jiang Chenchuan, and Jiang Chenchuan turned in a direction and slowly opened the bathroom door.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a damp and rotten smell, but the entire bathroom looked very clean, and there were no water stains on the floor.
It looked like a very ordinary hotel room. After walking around inside, I didn't feel anything special.
"Yuliya, what's going on?"
Jiang Chenchuan turned around and asked.
"Just when I wanted to take a shower and just entered the door, I heard a knock on the door. I heard it clearly. Moreover, not only was there a knock on the door, but there was also a female voice. Then, I came out and asked Miss Chudong, she Said she didn’t hear anything.”
There was a trace of fear in Yulia's eyes. Although she had even experienced monster fighting, she was still afraid of this inexplicable supernatural.
"The sound insulation here is not very good. Could it be that you heard the knocks and conversations next door."
Ethan leaned against the door, dragging his chin and reasoning.
"I thought so at first, but..."
Before Yulia finished speaking, the boss squeezed in from the end and interjected:
"The two rooms next door are currently unoccupied. Madam, maybe this is your imagination."
"I'm sure this is not an illusion!"
Yulia said with certainty, not only that, but Chudong also added that she also heard the sound, and it was accompanied by a hoarse scream.
What a painful experience it must have been to be able to make that sound.
Something seemed to flash by. Jiang Chenchuan's peripheral vision caught a strange black shadow and hid behind the pool. Then, there was a strange sound of water dripping, echoing in the empty bathroom.
"Did you see anything?"
At this time, even Ethan became nervous. Of course, he was nervous not because of fear, but because of the novelty of this kind of field that he had never set foot in before.
"I saw it."
Jiang Chenchuan nodded and responded.
Just when they looked at the boss, the middle-aged man laughed to himself:
"Guest, I would like to give you a piece of advice, don't worry too much. Sometimes, being invisible and not being heard may be a good thing."
After saying that, the boss didn't care about other people's reactions. He held the oil lamp and turned around to leave. There was a creaking sound on the floor under his feet, and the light of the oil lamp and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
"It's so strange. The boss seems to know something, but he doesn't tell us anything."
"We are just told to pretend that we can't see or hear. Wait, Uncle Ivel, there can't be...is there really any ghost?"
Bellito looked horrified. Although he had special powers, he was still young and still afraid of supernatural beings.
"Won't……"
Jiang Chenchuan knocked on the pool and the wall behind with his hand. There was a hollow echo, which even penetrated deeper. He paused and continued,
"...It should be a person, and there seems to be more than one."
It was getting dark outside the window, and it was another long night. In order to ensure the safety of Yulia and Chudong, they changed rooms with Jiang Chenchuan, and Berito also moved in with them.
They planned to rest one night first and then go to the streets tomorrow to purchase corresponding supplies and inquire about the situation in Ronark City.
After running around in the wild for several days, I didn't get much rest. Even an energetic person like Bellito fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
Jiang Chenchuan sat on a chair, looking at the notebooks neatly placed on the table. He placed the lantern on the table, and the dim yellow light shone on the paper, giving it an inexplicable retro texture. Occasionally, Berry came to his ears. Breathe evenly.
This scene was inexplicably reassuring. I just went downstairs to borrow a pen and started recording in my notebook:
[Mission: Recover the relics of Ronark City] - [Resolve the Curse]
[Investigation: Barras’s movements]
When I started writing, I thought about it and crossed out the following sentence.
He was a little surprised by Baras's sudden departure. Jiang Chenchuan had thought about this possibility before, but he didn't expect that he would act so quickly when leaving.
After finishing writing, the ability to put down the pen and wait, and use the notebook again is like returning to the Black River Detective Agency and simply accepting a commissioned task.
…
His fingers caressed the cold sharp instrument, paused briefly, and took a short breath. When he left, there were blood drops on his fingers.
The black cat lay lazily on the table next to it, licking the dark hair from time to time, or stretching, rolling around on the table, and looking here casually.
"We're back!"
Before anyone arrived, Bellito's voice came in. The group returned to the house and counted five people in total, plus a trembling monster.
Their next goal is to go to the real destination.
However, everyone had no idea at all, so they stayed indoors to eat some food and drink some water left over from Polnia to replenish basic energy.
After barely resting all night, and the schedule wasn't that urgent anyway, Jiang Chenchuan found an empty room and took a short nap.
As soon as he lay down, the little black cat came in from nowhere, rubbed his hand with its head, and even scratched it with its paws.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked in a low voice. He touched the black cat's head. For some reason, the black cat had been particularly affectionate towards him since they left Polnia.
It can be seen that this cat used to have a good temper and anyone could touch and hug it, but now, it seems to have some ideas of its own.
"Meow~"
It barked in a low voice and made a purring sound, which seemed to be a warning to Jiang Chenchuan.
But Jiang Chenchuan was really sleepy and exhausted from the whole night. He didn't lie down for long before he fell into a deep sleep.
The black cat raised its head and once again grabbed Jiang Chenchuan's hand with its paws. When no response was received, it turned its head and slowly walked out again.
Compared to the quietness of the bedroom, the atmosphere outside was more lively. The monster seemed to be interested in Bellito's color-changing pupils and kept asking questions. Yulia was helping the injured Ethan treat his wounds. It was all the same. Drop something.
Bellito, who had no fear of other people, was actually bothered by a monster and took a detour. Somehow, for the sake of the fact that they would act together in the future, Bellito ignored him.
"Hey, big monster, what's your name?"
"How rude! Kid, I'm only going to tell you once. My name is Schioppa, a true Ronark."
Schioppa moved his position. As time passed, his various abilities would be gradually stripped away by the curse, and he would slowly lose basic functions.
"Wow, what a troublesome name..."
Bellito looked at his bloodshot pupils, and no matter how many times he looked at them, they would still feel scary.
"Kid, what's your name?"
"Berito von Heinrich."
Bellito read proudly.
"Isn't your name even more troublesome!" I hope you can read it as well.
Schioppa roared helplessly, but surprisingly, after the roar, he felt a little relaxed and happy. He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Bellito was a little confused.
"It's nothing. Ever since I got this curse, I haven't talked like this. When I met someone before, I didn't think about how to hurt the other person, but how to survive... I can't remember the last time I was so relaxed. ”
Schioppa said slowly, he just lay on the ground, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the sunshine, and seemed to be enjoying the last time of his life.
As if he felt the gaze directed at him, Bellito turned his head and saw Chudong standing in front of the window, looking into the distance quietly with an expressionless face. He looked into each other's eyes and nodded slightly.
The road stretches into the distance, and the journey under the sun is still very far away. Standing on a high place, you can see the burned-out sick village and distant towns at the same time. Several figures run by along the way, and they all look like Schioppa.
They stared blankly at the bare branches at the edge. For a moment, they didn't know whether to continue moving forward. The sound of horse hooves could also be heard on the road, and the crisp sound gradually became smaller and disappeared.
Jiang Chenchuan and the others did not plan to set off so soon. They spread out the map and checked the nearest town to Ronark City. They needed to replenish some supplies and get some information.
According to the clues provided by Schioppa, so far, most of the cursed ones are locked in the city, with very few people able to move outside. Moreover, they know their situation and will be ostracized as soon as they approach towns or crowds. In serious cases, they may even be killed immediately.
Therefore, most people choose to travel in remote areas or between villages.
"Looking at the map, the sick village is probably here, so we should be at this location. Starting from here, we will definitely be able to reach the nearest town of Demaio within two days. This land belongs to another country and is related to England. Friendly trade relations.”
After a good sleep, Jiang Chenchuan was indeed refreshed and immediately returned to his serious state at work. Ethan didn't have any objections. He had an extremely good attitude and didn't look like someone who could blow up a village.
But Schioppa could not enter the city, so he could only follow nearby and wait for them to start again outside the city.
"I have no objection."
Schioppa expressed.
In this way, they packed their luggage and set off. Before leaving, Jiang Chenchuan looked around as if he was looking for something.
"What's wrong? Ivel."
"Leave a mark for Barras. If he follows us all the way, he can also find where we are."
He carved a mark on the front of the house with a knife before lifting the suitcase again. The black cat's head emerged from the suitcase, staring innocently at the surrounding environment with its big round eyes.
What makes it different from other cats is that even if it enters a new environment, it is not easily stressed and can adapt quickly.
Being far away from the village made them safer. They walked on the bright road and the situation in the forest no longer happened. When there was no place to stay at night, they could only rest in the wild. Fortunately, there were enough people and they could take turns to watch the night.
Demao Town is a relatively lucky town, very close to Ronark City. Fortunately, it was closed in time and the curse was not spread. Monsters have not yet overrun. Normal humans still have their own homes and ways to survive. space.
However, few of those who left the town alone or went to remote and less populated areas were able to return safely.
The process of rushing was boring. Without Barras, Berito would occasionally fight with Schiopa. It seemed that he was aware of his differences. Schiopa would also pay a little more attention to the situation and try not to hurt the eyes. This lively kid.
It just looks like a monster on the outside, but it's still human on the inside.
In his spare time, Jiang Chenchuan would get together with Ethan and Chudong to discuss how to solve the problems in Ronark City.
How to find the body of the mermaid in a city full of monsters?
"Maybe... I can go in alone and try."
After thinking deeply, Jiang Chenchuan spoke.
"Are you crazy?"
Finally it was Ethan's turn to call others crazy. In Chu Dong's eyes, the two of them were similar. She looked solemn and sat aside without saying a word.
"There are too many of us, the target is too big, it's too dangerous to go in all of us, and I don't feel comfortable leaving Yulia alone outside."
Jiang Chenchuan was still somewhat worried about Julia Decapo, and did not want to see anything happen to the last survivor of the Decapo family.
"No, we can't let you act alone, Yvel, let's wait until we get to Demao Town to discuss it."
Ethan stood up and ended today's conversation. The black cat passed by his feet, jumped on a big stone, and seemed to be looking into the distance.
"time to go."
Yulia reminded that the short break was over, and after a brief tidying up, Chudong grabbed the cat into the box and touched its head. The cat lay down and huddled up.
At the beginning, it didn't think that it needed to use weapons when facing such an opponent, but at this moment it had to take out the weapons, otherwise it would have been unable to withstand it. No matter how strong you are after being reborn from the ashes, it will continue to be consumed. Once the power of your own blood is consumed too much, your origin will be damaged.
"I have to say, you exceeded my expectations. But now I have to use all my strength." Following Cao Yuwei's words, the Phoenix True Fire converged towards it like an ocean embracing all rivers, actually taking back the Phoenix True Flame Domain. .
The blazing true fire of the phoenix condensed and formed around its body, turning into a magnificent golden-red armor covering its whole body. Holding a sword in its hand, it stared at the beautiful young master like a demon.
The beautiful young master did not pursue him and stood at a distance, calming down his somewhat agitated mood. Although this battle did not last long, her mood was becoming more and more exciting.
She didn't know whether she could really resist it until she faced the Great Demon King-level immortal fire phoenix. Her confidence came from what Tang San had given her before. And as the battle continued, when she really started to suppress her opponent, and relied on the colorful sky fire liquid to protect herself from the Phoenix True Fire, she knew that she really could do it.
Over the past hundred years, Tang San taught her many fighting techniques, all of which were most suitable for her to use. Just like the previous Netherworld Thrust and Netherworld Hundred Claws. There was also the sword Xinghan that had just cut off Cao Yuwei's finger for the first time. From Tang San's point of view, these were truly magical skills. After he slightly modified them and taught them to Young Master Mei, they were the most suitable for her to use.
The more he used these abilities, the more Young Master Mei could not help but become convinced of Tang San. When Tang San first told her that these belonged to the category of divine skills, she was still somewhat confused. However, at this time, she was able to continuously injure and oppress her opponents through levels. If it wasn't a magical skill, how could she do it given the gap in cultivation?
At this moment, all the emperors standing on the Emperor Tianzhu looked at this little girl with admiration. When the Phoenix True Flame Domain appeared, what they were considering was how long Young Master Mei could persist in this domain. The White Tiger Demon Emperor and the Jingfeng Demon Emperor were even ready to rescue them. However, as the battle continued, they watched dumbfoundedly. Young Master Mei actually suppressed a great demon king of the Immortal Fire Phoenix Tribe. In the true sense of the word, he suppressed him and even forced him to be reborn from the ashes. How incredible this is
Just as Cao Yuwei thought in his heart, the first-level demon king and the ordinary demon king are not the same thing! What's more, they are descendants of the top three powerful races in the Tianyu Empire. In terms of profound foundation, it is not impossible to say that the Immortal Fire Phoenix lineage is the strongest in the Tianyu Empire. After all, the Sky Fox Clan is not good at fighting.
But just like that, he was actually suppressed by a beautiful young master who was a big lower rank. The Peacock Monster Clan doesn’t even have an emperor now! Mr. Mei was still a ninth-level being more than half a year ago and was still participating in the Ancestral Classic. And today, more than half a year later, she is able to compete with the Great Demon King. So, given a few more years, how powerful will she be? How long will it take for her to become an emperor? The emperors present all felt a little strange at this time, because the strength displayed by the beautiful young master was really beyond their expectations!
The Demon Emperor Tianhu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.
From his point of view, everything he has to do is for the better continuation of the monster clan and the spirit clan, and for the fairy continent to always exist as the core of the entire plane.
The reason why he targeted this little girl was because when she first won the championship, he had felt something unusual in her, and he also felt a stronger threat from her companion. Even with his status as an emperor, he can feel this threat. The threat is not to himself, but to what he protects.
Therefore, he secretly guided the Dark Demon Emperor to hunt down Tang San and Young Master Mei.
After the return of the Dark Demon King, he said that there was a power similar to Poseidon that blocked him, but it had been eliminated by him, and the boy named Shura was completely wiped out. As expected, the Great Demon Emperor Tianhu could no longer feel the luck that belonged to Shura.
Therefore, all he needs to do is strangle the little girl in front of him in the cradle, or at least interrupt her luck, then the threat should disappear.
However, even the Great Demon Emperor Tianhu himself did not expect that Young Master Mei could grow so fast. In just over half a year, not only did he successfully overcome the tribulation, but he was also able to compete with a first-level bloodline powerhouse at the level of the Great Demon King. The stronger the ability she shows, the more threatening the Sky Fox Demon Emperor will naturally feel from her. And this threat has risen to a new level.
The sword in Cao Yuwei's hand shone with a dazzling golden-red light, and his whole body was full of murderous aura. Taking a step forward, the sword slashed out boldly. The sky suddenly became violently distorted. The blazing sword intent directly enveloped Young Master Xiang Mei's body.
It's still strength that defeats skill.
The beautiful young master's expression did not change, he took the initiative to take a step forward, and another Heavenly Mysterious Circle came out.
The extremely powerful blow of the sword was once again put aside. There were all top experts present, and they all could see that the skill that the beautiful young master was displaying now was definitely a magical skill among the magical skills. The opponent's strength is obviously much stronger than hers, but they just can't break through her super strong defense.
However, no one doubts the origin of this ability. After all, the Peacock Demon Clan’s best talent is the movement of stars. Her technique is similar to that of Dou Zhuanxing.
After Master Mei defused Cao Yuwei's attack this time, he did not rush to attack. He just stood still.
Cao Yuwei frowned slightly. Is this little girl's perception so sharp? After he turned into armor with flames, he had other means. If Mr. Mei followed up with the attack, he would be sure to use this method to restrain her. But the beautiful young master did not step forward, so his originally prepared ability had to be interrupted.
The sword was slashed out again, and the powerful sword intention was a bit stronger than before. Cao Yuwei followed the sword and went straight towards the beautiful young master.
The Tianji Ling in the hand of the beautiful master once again became a mysterious circle in the sky, and he switched his position in an instant. While defusing the opponent's attack, it also defuses the opponent's lock. And the next moment, she was already on the other side. The golden-red light on Cao Yuwei's body flashed away. If she hadn't dodged quickly, there would undoubtedly have been another ability coming.
Spend money! She seemed to be fighting Cao Yuwei to death.
