It's really scary, different from the supernatural elements.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the skinned cat corpse hanging on the beam and muttered silently in his heart.
Whether someone slipped in or something slipped out, it was not a good thing. Everyone looked at each other silently, with vigilance and solemnity in their eyes.
Only "Li Liyuan Shangcao" changed from being quiet and melancholy, his face was full of anger, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Such cruel cruelty to animals is not allowed. I will make her pay the price. Everyone, let's kill the queen directly."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him and said:
"Don't be impulsive. There is obviously something going on with this queen. Let's wait and see what happens and wait for the task to be triggered. Oh, according to my experience of clearing two S-level dungeons, thinking more and doing less is the key to survival.
"Because the fault tolerance rate of S-level dungeons is too low, a small move may cost you your life."
"Please call me Queen" turned to look at the wood demon boy,
"The captain is right. The more advanced the dungeon, the fewer the prompts and the dangers everywhere. This is not like the C-level and D-level dungeons we encountered before. The mission requirements and rules are clearly told to you.
"In such a difficult dungeon, if you make one wrong move, the team may be wiped out."
Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment and said: "The same goes for the opposite. Maybe if we kill Mrs. Wang now, we can successfully solve the incident. Ha, this is like Schrödinger's cat."
Huode Xingjun was stunned: "Who is Schrödinger? Does he also like to torture cats?"
The knowledgeable Li Chunfeng was stunned, and opened his mouth with a strange expression. After some entanglement, he gave up popular science and said
"Roughly the same"
Huode Xingjun nodded and glanced at the room opposite the patio. Seeing that Wang Po had not come out yet, he whispered:
"Have you ever thought about why the corpses of cats are hung instead of chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and dogs? If it were the latter, we might still be able to have a meal here."
What he meant by asking was that there must be a reason for hanging the cat corpse, maybe it was a hint given by the copy.
Zhang Yuanqing expressed his views from the perspective of the Night God, saying: "These cat corpses belong to Yin and are negative materials. Extracting Yin Qi can nourish Yin spirits and can also be used to refine zombies." Li Chunfeng added:
"It can also be used to make props, perform special rituals, be used in witchcraft, etc."
Just as he was talking, the wooden door creaked open, and Mrs. Wang walked out with a crutch and a hunched back, holding a white porcelain teapot with bright glaze in her hand.
Li Xianzong led his teammates as they walked along the roadside. Next to them was a small river crossing the ancient town, with a stone bridge built of bluestones on the river.
"What a shabby place, there's not even a single person there, let alone a pretty girl." The skinny middle-aged man looked around and cursed.
Among the several multi-person spirit realms he has experienced in the past, one of the scenes was a midnight hotel. There was a cold-blooded murderer hiding in the hotel. The task of the dungeon was to find and kill the powerful criminal.
There are also many "civilians" living in the hotel. Those civilians are no different from real people. During the mission, the middle-aged man played with many women living in the hotel. ①
No moral points are deducted.
For evil professions, spiritual dungeons are not only an opportunity for upgrades and growth, but also a paradise for indulging evil thoughts, where they can do anything without paying a price.
"Yin Yang Town is a realm against spirits. It is not an exclusive realm for our professions, so there is no environment for you to do whatever you want." The bald man looked at the skinny middle-aged man and said:
"You weren't a rapist before you became an illusionist."
The skinny middle-aged man smiled lewdly and said, "I can only say that those security guards are too incompetent. What about you?"
The bald man said calmly: "Kill! Li Xianzong, we have used up eight minutes. If we can't find the blacksmith shop, we will be finished."
As they were talking, they vaguely heard the sound of hammering iron tools.
Li Xianzong looked ahead and raised the corner of his mouth: "Isn't it already here?"
The teammates were overjoyed: "You guessed it right, it's on this street."
"Guess?" Li Xianzong mocked:
"Think about it with your pig brains. The blacksmith shop is open for business, not in a deep alley. High-temperature smelting requires air circulation, which can also be eliminated in a deep house compound. Quenching requires a lot of water, and the river is the best choice.
"Look along the main road along the river, and you'll definitely be able to find it."
Just as they were talking, they stopped in front of the blacksmith shop. A tall figure two meters tall lowered his head, swinging a hammer, and pounding the iron embryo.
Li Xianzong looked at the other party and asked, "Are you Blacksmith Wang?"
The blacksmith slowly raised his head, revealing his eyes as red as blood.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
Zhang Yuanqing held the tea cup and glanced at the wood demon boy.
Li Li took a sip of grass and nodded slightly. Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved immediately and took a sip of herbal tea. As a recovery warlock, the Wood Demon is very sensitive to toxins. If there is a problem with the water, he cannot hide it.
Guan Ya and others were drinking water to moisten their throats, or were careful not to touch them. They were thinking about the next step in the plot, when they heard Yuan Shi Tianzun, the captain, ask in a familiar voice:
"Grandma Wang, why is there no one in the town? We didn't see anyone along the way."
Wang Po’s old voice said slowly:
"The town used to be very lively. An incident happened a few years ago, and everyone gradually moved away from Yin Yang Town."
"Oh? What's going on?" Zhang Yuanqing asked quickly.
Everyone immediately cheered up when the plot was triggered.
"This" Wang Po seemed to be a little taboo, she was silent for a moment and said:
"Many years ago, suddenly one day began, the town
People died one after another, their hearts and minds were ripped away,
Everyone was very scared and said there was something evil in the town. The richest man in the town, Mr. Zhao, hired a mage from outside.
"After the mage came to the town, it didn't take long to catch the culprit. It turned out to be a descendant of the Yin Yang Sanren. He secretly harmed the people in the town and used their hearts to make elixirs. Everyone and the mage worked together to eradicate the witch. .3
"Before she died, she cursed the people in the town and cursed everyone to turn into cats."
Zhang Yuanqing, a descendant of Yin Yang Sanren, looked at each other with his teammates and asked, "What next?"
Wang Po sighed: "At first, everyone didn't pay attention, but gradually, more and more people disappeared, and there were more and more cats in the town. Then everyone became scared and did not dare to continue living in the town, so they moved away one after another. "
This guy is very good at conversation. The queen glanced at Zhang Yuanqing with a smile and took over the conversation:
"Then why doesn't mother-in-law leave?"
Wang Po shook her head: "I'm old and don't want to leave my hometown. I have one foot in the coffin and I'm not afraid of this."
The wood demon boy raised his head, looked at the skinned cat corpse hanging on the beam, and said in a deep voice:
"Then why are you hanging these cats here?"
Wang Po said calmly: "This is the method left by the mage. He said that hanging the cat's body in the house and peeling off the skin can prevent the curse."
The wood demon boy sneered. Just now I said I'm not afraid of curses.
Zhang Yuanqing asked again: "Mother-in-law, who is that Yin Yang Sanren, and why do his descendants want to rip out human hearts to make elixirs?"
Wang Po said with emotion: "Yin Yang Sanren is a master. It is said that he is a god-like figure. Not long after he established this town, he ascended to become a god. The old woman has heard this from her elders since she was a child. I don't know whether it is true or not. .2
"His descendants stayed in this town. Because of Yin Yang Sanren, everyone respected her. Who would have thought that she would do such a thing."
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his eyebrows and thought, why were the monks in the Ming Dynasty so evil? The temple master of Sandao Mountain massacred his disciples, and the descendants of the Yin Yang San people took the human heart and liver to make elixirs.
"She is the only descendant of Yin Yang Sanren?" Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of herbal tea. 3
"Yes, most of the descendants of Yin Yang Sanren died. It is said that it was because one person ascended and the family energy was exhausted." Wang Po said.
But in fact, Yin Yang Sanren did not ascend, and his purpose of immortality failed. His descendants dug out their hearts to make elixirs. Is it related to immortality? Zhang Yuanqing was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Guan Ya ask:
"Mother-in-law, apart from us, have any foreigners come to this town before?"
Wang Po glanced at her and said faintly: "Yes." "Then what are they doing here." Guan Ya said with a smile.
Wang Po hesitated and said: "Old woman, I don't remember."
Others didn't know why Guan Ya asked about this, but Zhang Yuanqing and the Queen were stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
They had read several guides, and there was no mention of curses in those guides. Moreover, in the guide content, Yin Yang Town is not empty, otherwise how would one solve the case in the inn.
Is it because the dungeons are constantly changing and each batch of Spiritual Realm Walkers has different side tasks?
If this is the case, can I still encounter the hidden mission that the Demon King mentioned? The branch plots he and I experienced must be different.
If the hidden mission can only be triggered by a fixed branch, it would be too cheating and unfair.
Forget it, let’s ignore the hidden missions for now. What is the side mission that triggers Wang Po? Break the curse?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively: "Mother-in-law, do you need any help from us?"
Wang Po shook her head.
At this time, Li Chunfeng tentatively said:
"Mother-in-law, besides you, is there anyone else in the town?"
Wang Po thought for a while and said in an old voice:
"In addition to the old woman, there are six other people. One is Widow Xu from the west side of the town, and one is Zhao Yuanwai. They live in the center of the town. The largest house is his home. The other is Blacksmith Wang.
"There is also the mage invited by Zhao Yuanwai. I don't know where he lives."
The round-faced young man ate the lotus root and was stunned: "There are only five of them. Is there another one?"
Wang Po looked at him and said:
"The last one is the old lady's son." Chi Lotus asked in surprise: "Your son? Where is he?"
Wang Po looked back at the room she had just come out of, and said quietly: "He is in there."
As she said that, she turned back and looked at everyone, with a strange smile on her wrinkled old face:
"You'll see him soon."
For some reason, Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank instinctively.
Immediately, he saw a terrifying scene. The Huode Star Army sitting opposite him had his pupils shrink into slits and turned into green cat eyes. Thick jet black hair grew on his cheeks, neck, and back of his hands.
