Everyone, if you see that it is a random anti-theft chapter, it means that you V did not buy half of the chapters. The city guards were not stationed in the city lord's palace, so only some of the city guards were harmed. However, when the city guards changed shifts, they discovered the miserable situation of the entire city lord's palace.
Although the military commander was shocked, he was still mentally stable and allowed the remaining city guards to carry the bodies. At the same time, he was also trying his best to investigate the murderer, compile the evidence, and report it as soon as possible - he was under the command of the city lord, but he was also a member of the imperial court. people.
Ye Shu heard something from the mouths of the city guards who were moving back and forth.
The destruction of the city lord's mansion this time seems to be related to Yan Xi.
In the wine glass in Yan Bei's room, there were traces of the drug that the city guard commander could not distinguish, but he only knew that it must have a strong stimulant effect - indeed, if not, Yan Bei would not have died so easily.
If a top master in the mortal realm were to face off against a monk below the third level of Qi Refining, the monk's reaction would definitely be inferior to that of the top master, and the spells that ordinary low-level monks could cast were also very rare. Although the power of the spells was not weak, it would not be as good as the top master. When fighting, you may not be able to hit the opponent, and naturally you cannot hurt the opponent. On the contrary, if the top master is experienced, he can use this to lure the monks to cast spells continuously. After the magic power is used up, the monks can only let themselves be slaughtered.
Judging from the traces of the fight, Yan Bei's resistance was very slow, and it must have been due to the medicine, and the only ones who could produce the medicine without doubt were his closest relatives. Yan Changlan was also seriously injured, so it must not have been him, but Yan Xi's appearance was probably his idea. However, even though Yan Xi lured the wolf into the house, he could not escape the other party's murderous intention.
Ye Shu's eyes fell on several places covered with blood.
After Yan Bei discovered that he had been betrayed by his brother, he probably saw with his own eyes the scene of his only son being captured and crippled. After that, he used his last strength to stop the monk, and he also had the death guards he trained to hold Yan Xi and others back. , so that Yan Changlan could escape.
However, now that Yan Xi is dead, the poisonous insects last night did not give up looking for Yan Changlan. It can be seen that the ones who really want to capture Yan Changlan are the monks and the people who drove the poisonous insects.
Then this is probably just like what Ye Shu guessed earlier, there is something in the hands of City Lord Yan that these two people covet.
After roughly inferring this, Ye Shu did not stay here for long.
He used an invisibility spell on himself again and quickly left the city lord's mansion.
From a distance, Ye Shu also saw some people from the three major aristocratic families sent to inquire for information, but this had nothing to do with Ye Shu. He only glanced at them and stopped looking.
Along the way, Ye Shu searched more carefully. There were indeed no poisonous insects in the city, and there was no scent of monks. It seemed that the two people had really left, leaving only the city lord's palace and a mess of dead people... It would take some time , after the incident in Mingshan City was reported, the imperial court in this mortal world would send people to take over Mingshan City, and the Yan family only had the orphan Yan Changlan left.
Ye Shu hurried to the mountains outside the city.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he was about to fly upwards, but he smelled something unexpectedly, and his steps paused slightly.
Because of his fast feet, Ye Shu's invisibility skills had not disappeared at this moment, so he simply dodged and quickly flew towards the place he was interested in. After a while, he arrived at the adjacent mountain. At the same time, he also heard the sound of insects crawling in the grass.
Centipedes more than two feet long, spiders the size of a fist, and scorpions the size of a palm were still searching around under the urging of very subtle and strange voices.
Ye Shu looked along where the whistle came from and saw a short man no more than six feet tall, wearing black clothes and a black hat, waiting impatiently for something.
"Mom, she's not here either! Did she really run away?" The short man was filled with displeasure. "How capable could that crippled brat be and why he's gone to the end of the world? There's no point in looking for Li. No, maybe you can give me an advantage? If you find it, I can send it out, and I can become an immortal. How dare that guy named Li boss me around..."
Hearing this, Ye Shu already understood.
The person named Li was a monk on the second level of Qi Refining that he knew. He was looking for something useful to the monks in the city lord's mansion. This short man is good at manipulating poisonous insects, so he must have been called to be a helper. After destroying the city lord's mansion, the two of them failed to find the object, so they thought it should be on Yan Changlan, who had already escaped. And Yan Changlan was seriously injured, so the most likely place to hide was naturally either in the darkness of the city or in the rolling mountains outside the city.
Previously, the monk surnamed Li used some method to scan through the mountains. He could not find Yan Changlan because of the small Five Elements Tracing Formation, and because he believed in his own method, he thought that Yan Changlan had escaped further. Now he is chasing him. . The short man was abandoned by the monk surnamed Li, but he thought that Yan Changlan was probably still in the mountains. He felt greedy in his heart, so he used poisonous insects to search carefully, hoping to swallow up the benefits of Yan Changlan.
When Ye Shu took off Yan Changlan's clothes earlier, he only focused on healing his wounds. He didn't look for anything, and he didn't know if there was such a thing. However, he saved Yan Changlan. This short man and the monk surnamed Li were both hidden dangers. Now that he encountered one, it would be better to kill him.
With his mind set, Ye Shu started thinking.
Just then he realized that the little man's method of controlling poisonous insects was due to his extraordinary talent and the sound of his throat was different from ordinary people. Therefore, he was able to use a side method. It was a little better than the real method of controlling insects. But it is much inferior. He didn't know how many poisonous insects the short man had, but now that his realm was low, even if he used magic to protect his body, it would be difficult to deal with the poisonous insects if they swarmed him. If he wanted to kill him, it would be best to cut his throat with one blow, even if the man was prepared. , but as long as it silences his throat, it doesn't matter.
Then there is how to use it...
His current means are limited, and many subtle techniques cannot be practiced yet. However, apart from being able to control poisonous insects, this short man has a weak aura and is no different from an ordinary person. Why does he need any magical techniques? Just in case, he still had to set up a trap, so that even if something unexpected happened, he would still have room to maneuver.
Ye Shu then mobilized two more rays of magic power, one of which supplemented the invisibility technique, and the other was applied to his feet to control the wind. The former can hide his figure, and the latter allows him to move silently, both of which are suitable here.
As for the trapping formation... it only took a moment for him to pick up a few stones at random and quietly hit them around the short man. By the time the formation was completed, he had taken decisive action!
A sharp wind passed by!
The short man was concentrating on driving the poisonous insect away, but how could he have thought that someone would be able to sneak up on him without being aware of the poisonous insect? When the sharp wind passed by, he just felt a few hairs hanging down floating for some reason, and then he felt a coldness in his throat and a sharp pain!
Fortunately, he already knew that all his skills lay in this throat, and had long pasted a piece of leather that was the same as skin. Although the sharp wind just now was fierce, it would not work after cutting off the leather and then entering the flesh. It can only cut him in half, but it can't really cut his throat with a sword! Then he let him live.
Ye Shu was still invisible, standing aside, but a sneer flashed on his face.
Sure enough, the short man's throat was so special that he would not be unprepared. However, Xu was worried that being too defensive would lead to others seeing his weakness. He usually covered it up with a bamboo whistle, and never used anything of gold or iron to protect his neck. He only used a piece of extremely tough leather to protect his throat. But this leather can protect against ordinary swords, but it is much inferior to the broken jade with Ye Shu's magic power.
——Yes, when Ye Shu used broken jade to set up the formation, because the kitchen knife also had to be used in the formation, several broken jade pieces were left behind to use as sharp weapons to attack and kill in emergencies.
Isn't it useful at this moment?
The short man was frightened and angry, and immediately wanted to drive the poisonous insects to bite the man to death. However, when he made a sound, he realized that he could only make "ho ho" sounds in his throat, and it was impossible to drive the poisonous insects away.
Unable to make a sound, the short man looked around for traces of the attacker, but found nothing. He covered his throat and was so angry that he slapped the skin bag around his waist and released dozens of poisonous insects from it. !
However, what happened next was different from what the little man thought.
I saw that the poisonous insects wanted to scatter, but for some reason they only collided randomly in the same place, as if they couldn't find their direction - they were confused by the formation.
The short man panicked, but Ye Shu took action again.
This time, he directly injected magic power and cut from behind. With just one twist, he cut off the short man's head!
Before he died, the little man's face was full of fear, but he had never seen the murderer.
After the short man died, the poisonous insects no longer attacked the formation, but turned around one after another, crawled on the short man's body, and began to eat crazily. At the same time, there were rustling sounds from all directions, and more than ten poisonous insects returned, also climbing on the corpse.
If you use these superficial methods to drive away poisonous insects, the poisonous insects will naturally attack you after the master dies.
Ye Shu glanced at it lightly, not surprised.
He already knew that the short man, with his mortal body, could only control dozens of poisonous insects, but each one could be called the King of Insects. Everywhere he went, he could attract poisonous insects from all directions and be driven by the King of Insects. That’s all.
At present, the Insect King is busy counterattacking, and other poisonous insects in the mountain have also returned to the mountain, and will not come back to snatch the delicious food from the Insect King's mouth.
In front, a young man with a fan in his hand blocked the road, his expression was frivolous. The person next to him was slightly chubby, with small eyes squeezed into his flesh, giving him a somewhat sinister look.
At this time, the two of them looked at Ye Shu, and the frivolous man spoke first: "I heard...you idiot suddenly stopped being stupid? Hey, that's really interesting. Now look at you, you look pretty good, but you've lost some weight. You're so pitiful and you don't have a living, why don't you let me recommend a place for you so that you can have good food and clothing in the future, okay?" He said this as if he meant it sincerely, but the way he acted, it was clear that he was With bad intentions!
The man with a fierce look also had a malicious look on his face: "Yes, if you keep it for a few days, you might be able to sell it for a good price! Hahaha!"
Ye Shu naturally recognized these two people.
The frivolous man's name was Ye Mao, and the fierce-looking man's name was Ye Xiong. After the original owner became foolish in his early years, like the few people who accidentally killed him at the gate of the city, the two of them also bullied the original owner all the year round, but the original owner did not I didn't quite understand, so I was often pushed and tossed by them, and I always came back with injuries. But even though these two people looked brainless, they were not really brainless. If he was really brainless, he would start pushing and kicking him as before after stopping him this time. How could he only use words but not actions?
Just because these two people - or Ye Jun, the person in charge behind them, already knew that Ye Shu was no longer stupid, so he asked them to come over and test it out.
Ye Shu changed his mind and said in a low voice: "Get out of the way." The people also walked around to the other side.
Ye Mao and Ye Xiong looked at each other.
Ye Xiong said angrily: "Are you really not stupid?"
Ye Mao made a move and still blocked Ye Shu's way: "You are stupid and you can't be rude? We are your brothers after all. Why, we can't even call people?"
