Outside the nameless town, behind some tall grass.
"Brother Ming, brother Ming, why don't we go in quickly?" The little guy rubbed the hair on his body back and forth with his paws, as if there were a lot of lice in it.
Its claws were filled with ice and water, and from time to time it would scratch off a small insect and turn it into ice powder.
Lin Ming blocked a leaf with his arm, and his eyes merged into one, looking straight at the nameless town.
"Don't go in yet. This area is not marked on the map. It should be a barren mountain. Now suddenly there is an unknown town. It seems to be busy with traffic and there are not many pedestrians coming and going. This is even more weird."
After a slight pause, Lin Ming was about to speak, but suddenly felt an extremely strong pressure.
Under the reflection of his mind's eye, Lin Ming was unable to detect the source of the pressure.
He suddenly covered the little guy's mouth, and put the index finger of his other hand in front of his mouth to signal the little guy to be quiet.
The little guy nodded slowly, his two big eyes flickering, as if asking: What happened?
Lin Ming shook his head incomprehensibly, his eyes drifted to the city gate, and seemed to be replying: Watch carefully, and you will see the result soon.
A quarter of an hour later, nothing strange happened. Even Lin Ming suspected that what he just felt was an illusion.
The little guy opened his mouth. He wanted to speak but didn't dare. He simply stretched out a claw and gestured in the air. The tip of the claw released ice blue crystals, which floated in the air to form words:
"When do we enter the city? There are too many mosquitoes and bugs here. They don't bite you but they bite me all the time. It's really itchy."
In the same way, Lin Ming directly emitted a string of extremely weak spiritual energy and wrote in the air: "Be patient for a little longer, and the results will come soon."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Ming's eyes suddenly shrank and he stared straight ahead. His fingers unconsciously tore off a leaf.
The little guy saw Lin Ming's strangeness and looked at Lin Ming's eyes.
"Aren't these Sister Qinghuang and Sister Wu Sheng?!" The little guy couldn't control himself and exhaled softly.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them were seen rushing into the city.
Someone was chasing them behind them, and that huge spiritual pressure was one of them.
The whole body was shrouded in black robes, making it difficult to see clearly or thoroughly. He had just reached the city gate, and a large number of the soldiers, the surrounding traffickers, and the people who were entering the city died one after another.
The corpse collapsed on the ground and instantly turned into a strange bluish-red liquid.
Eat, eat, eat...
Once the grass, sand, gravel, and dirt on the ground come into contact with those liquids, they will turn into nothingness in an instant.
In Lin Ming's mind's eye, he could clearly see that these substances turned into wisps of black energy, and that black energy enveloped the black robe.
This method looks very familiar, a bit like the evil ghost tribe or the monsters from the Ziyuan Star Territory.
Anyway, they are not normal monks or monsters in the Cangxuan Realm.
Lin Ming frowned slightly, "The figures I saw just now must be Sister Qinghuang and Sister Wusheng. What about you?"
"Brother Ming, I saw it too." The little guy said.
Lin Ming nodded, "The two of us saw them, so it is unlikely that we will admit our mistake."
After a pause, Lin Ming said: "But, why are they being hunted down?"
The little guy: "Also, the man in black robe at the city gate is so powerful. His aura is like that disgusting outside thing. Anyway, he is definitely not native to the Cangxuan Realm."
Lin Ming rolled his eyes at the little guy, "Actually, you are not from the local area, but this is true. According to my guess, the man in black robe should be an old friend of us who has dealt with us, or else he is a subordinate of the evil ghost clan. The Three-Eyed Clan, or Xianyue Tower, this organization actually belongs to Tianwai, coming from the Ziyuan Star Cluster, and at least half of the members inside have mutated."
At the mention of the mutation, the little guy's hair exploded all over his body, holding his arms with two paws.
"I don't want to see those disgusting guys."
While it was talking, it was making a look like its whole body was twisting, which looked quite funny.
Lin Ming shook his head, "Let's go, get ready to go into the city and see what happened to Sister Qinghuang and Sister Wu Sheng."
However, Lin Ming and the little guy were just about to walk out of the tall grass.
The two saw an extremely strange scene!
Everyone who died suddenly reappeared at the city gate.
The man in black robes, who was walking towards the city gate step by step, suddenly stopped. He looked around and saw liquid on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
"These are ordinary people I killed in a split second."
"I didn't expect that there is another mystery. Ordinary people are not ordinary at all!"
The man in black robe took a step or two back, grabbed a person at random, and tore him into pieces in front of everyone.
However, the ordinary people around him didn't notice it at all, and continued to walk in, still as warm and enthusiastic, and even smiled at the man in black robe who was killing people.
The man in black robe himself is very strange, but he is inevitably frightened in his heart.
"There's something wrong with this place and you shouldn't go in."
As the words fell to the ground, the man in black robe seemed to sense something and tapped the ground lightly with his toes.
With a bang, a huge hole exploded in the ground, and then he retreated violently.
The next second, the surrounding ground rumbled.
There seemed to be an earth dragon rolling violently underground, rushing up at a rapid speed.
The target is none other than the man in black robe.
Rumble, rumble!
Flying sand, earth and rocks sputtered, layers of ground surged upwards, broken layers of soil and broken rocks fell, and dust covered the sky, making it impossible to see the sky.
The man in black robe was at the center of the strange changes and shouted: "Where is the monster causing trouble?"
In the sky or under the ground, from a location whose direction was unclear, a sound as powerful as the power of God came:
"You have made yourself no longer a human being. You have already given up everything about the human race. You are the monster. Destroy it quickly!"
Lin Ming's eyes widened and he watched helplessly as the black robe of the man in black turned into powder inch by inch.
Immediately afterwards, the true face of the man in black robe was revealed. It was a group of strange tentacle-like creatures. The whole body appeared as a big meat ball. Two extremely thick tentacles served as lower limbs, imitating human legs for walking, while others There are also more than 10 tentacles of different thicknesses, which condense into arms from time to time and spread out from time to time.
Seeing this scene, the little guy shuddered, "Ugh, vomit, vomit...it's really such a monster, and it looks even more disgusting."
Lin Ming nodded, "That voice is right. Are the people in Xianyue Tower still considered human beings?"
Dust all over the sky suddenly flew into the sky, condensing into a huge ball above the gate of the ancient city.
The sphere was as big as the sky. It was in free fall and hit the tentacle monster directly.
"..." The tentacle monster wanted to speak and move.
However, his body, his voice, and his will were no longer under control. They were locked by the huge ball of dust in the sky, and he watched helplessly as the ball hit his head.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Violent noises spread in all directions, and the tentacled monster's body was cracked inch by inch, with fine cracks and crisscrossing deep scars all over his body.
He was like a porcelain doll that had been smashed and then glued back together, already vulnerable.
The mighty voice of heaven sounded again: "Those who are not from our race must have different minds. We fought to the death to protect the human race, and we had to pass on the inheritance even if we turned into wild ghosts and lonely souls. Now we can actually see people actively giving up their bodies and wills." What a deplorable slave!”
As the sound fell, the tentacle monster turned into powder inch by inch, and his body was decomposed into countless black smoke.
The black smoke tried to escape, but was condensed by some magical power and turned into a small ball.
The sphere flew straight into the nameless city, and then everything at the city gate was refreshed again.
This time, the environment of the world has even been refreshed. The traces of trauma on the ground have completely disappeared. The grass is still green, the flowers are still fragrant, and the people coming in and out of the small town are still enthusiastic and full of hope for life.
The little guy shrank timidly behind Lin Ming's neck.
Lin Ming reached out and placed his hand on the little guy's head. While stroking him gently, he whispered: "Don't be afraid. The senior just said not to kill people."
The little guy pulled Lin Ming's hair, "But I'm not a human."
"It's okay," Lin Ming pointed to a certain horse at the city gate, "Look, they're okay too."
The little guy's smile was uglier than his cry, "But they are all fake. They can be recreated with just a breath."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Lin Ming smiled and said, "How about you wait for me here first, and then I go in to see what's going on?"
The little guy shook his head and swayed, obviously extremely frightened, but he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"Brother Ming, you taught me, this is called sacrificing your life to accompany a gentleman!"
After successfully entering the city, Lin Ming suddenly felt as if half of his mind's perception range had disappeared.
This half is the half outside the city. It's like changing the map in a game and suddenly encountering the map boundary. The outside of the boundary is covered with the fog of war, making it impossible to observe thoroughly.
The mind's eye does not take effect, and similar situations rarely occur, and they basically involve the existence of the realm of creation.
Lin Ming frowned slightly and lowered his voice and asked: "Don't eat or talk randomly after entering the city. The main goal is..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that a new group of people had walked in within the limited perceptible range behind him.
Without turning around to look, Lin Ming immediately sent a message to the little guy: "Let's pretend to be residents of the city together."
The little guy remained calm and lay on Lin Ming's shoulder, curling up into a ball of fur.
Lin Ming took the little guy and quickly walked to the stall next to him. He followed the example of the phantom residents and greeted the stall owner and bargained for a price.
After Lin Ming and the others, a group of men in black robes entered.
They did not cover their faces.
Each one looked human, and the arms and legs occasionally exposed under the black robes were also human.
This is the key reason why they can come in.
"Quickly, check around and catch those two women!"
One of the men in black robes gave orders, and his words did not evade the people around him, because in his opinion, the people around him were phantoms that could be killed at will, and they would probably be reborn when the time came, so there was no need to evade them.
However, they never expected that Lin Ming and the little guy would be among them and hear their overall plan.
It turned out that they wanted to capture Ge Qinghuang and Zhao Wusheng in order to threaten the divination operator and obtain a certain key item.
Bu Suanzi had hidden his things a long time ago, and he himself was a master who was good at concealing secrets and practiced profoundly, so it was extremely difficult to target him.
Through recent investigations, the people of Xianyue Tower have identified Ge Qinghuang, Divination Suanzi’s favorite disciple.
This apprentice is very extraordinary. Needless to say, he has excellent qualifications. The most important thing is that he has unparalleled luck. He will receive excellent opportunities wherever he goes.
It’s clear that he can inherit the mantle!
Therefore, after Xianyuelou tracked Ge Qinghuang's whereabouts, he immediately arranged for manpower, and a steady stream of people came later.
In a small city, there will be about three to five hundred people around Xianyue Tower who are about to arrive.
Lin Ming sighed in his heart:
These men in black robes don't seem to belong to the same department as the one just now.
They didn't know that a more powerful man in black robe had died at the gate of the small town before.
And there is no trace of death left at all!
Perhaps because of this, this group of black-robed men never thought that there would be any danger in this small town.
Because they only feel that this small city is an illusion, but the ground and buildings still exist.
With the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Lin Ming looked at the leader of the men in black robes without leaving any trace.
The leader's face is covered with patterns, and all kinds of tattoos are matched together, and it's hard to tell what the original content was.
Let’s call it “painted face” for now.
The judgment given by Hua Lian is very rough:
This small town may itself be some kind of opportunity, which is very suitable for Ge Qinghuang's unparalleled luck. Maybe there is a treasure waiting for him to get it.
So it must be fast!
You must act quickly and gather your brothers to enter the small town quickly, at least to capture Ge Qinghuang within today.
As for Zhao Wusheng, it is an add-on, and its main function is to force Ge Qinghuang to submit.
At this moment, Lin Ming relied on his inner vision to clearly perceive the cultivation level of this group of people.
The strongest ones are already in the late stage of Dao Realm. In addition, there are at least 5 people in the early and mid-stage of Dao Stage. In addition, there are a total of twenty or thirty of them, and none of them are lower than the Taihe Stage.
This place is too close to the border. Even if we launch a sneak attack, we may not be able to keep them all.
If you can't kill all the enemies with action, it will be easy to scare the enemy away, which may lead to greater changes.
Coupled with the fear of this city, Lin Ming did not take action directly.
He mingled with the crowd, waited until the men in black robes left, and then greeted them at the city gate. He waited for at least four or five groups of men in black robes to enter the city to figure out where the danger lay.
The sun is setting in the west and dusk is approaching.
At the stall where Lin Ming stayed, the warm smile on the stall owner's face suddenly disappeared.
His aura suddenly changed, with a ghostly aura, and his eyes were indifferent, as if looking from the world of the dead to the living. Then, he said intentionally or unintentionally:
"After dusk, no strangers can come near in the dark!"
"Young master has stayed at the city gate for too long. Go to the inn and stay there. You can find the person you are looking for after staying there. But remember, you cannot leave the room after nightfall. No matter what you hear or see..."
Hearing this, Lin Ming was extremely surprised. He looked at the stall owner and saw that his figure gradually became thinner and became transparent.
The same goes for residents of other nearby towns.
Lin Ming did not doubt that he was there, so he quickly found an inn and discussed accommodation with the innkeeper who was also disappearing.
