At dawn, in Xingdaofang, there was a fire in the ruins.
Sparse water droplets fell on the still steaming city, making sizzling sounds from time to time.
Along with the pungent smell of rust coming from the air, those raindrops also drifted with the wind and fell on everyone, and they could clearly feel the slightly strange power contained in them.
If you look closely, you will see that it has a rust-like color, giving it a somewhat stale and old feel.
This is the rain of blood brought down by Xiong Li, the leader of the department and the leader of the Shadow Hall, who personally used his own magic.
The lantern fires that appeared in front of everyone wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. Affected by the rain of blood, they became like candles in the wind and might be extinguished at any time.
The only pity was that even Xiong Li couldn't create a rain of blood that covered the whole square.
Using this kind of magic consumes a lot of energy and stamina, especially your own energy and blood. If you forcefully create a large-scale blood rain, you may drain yourself dry first.
Xiong Li also did not have an inherited treasure similar to the Black Tiger's blood, so he could only make up for it by obtaining more puzzle pieces from the Demon Suppressing Division through his promotion of official rank and power.
Li Fan, Xue An and the two other sergeants accompanying them did not dare to stay long. After feeling that the road ahead was safe, they immediately turned to the southeast corner.
The area of Xingdaofang is not large, only about one mile long and wide. According to the descriptions of those lucky people who escaped before the fire completely got out of control, the first fire location should be near this area, so a few people gave priority to exploring It is also located here.
It turned out that the surroundings were filled with corpses in different forms of death. They were all in ragged clothes, with charred skin, and looked extremely horrifying.
Li Fan's eyes swept over them, and he saw the black and white intertwined light condensing around him, and the writing was about to condense, showing a smoke-like appearance.
Not far away, one after another, miserable green fireballs were floating like will-o'-the-wisps, floating in the air inexplicably.
They just stayed there quietly, as if they had the aura of burning the sky and setting fire to the prairie fire, which was intimidating.
"Be careful. Although we are still covered in blood, this strangeness cannot last long. We must lure them away as soon as possible."
"No problem, leave it to me."
The two accompanying sergeants were both alien helpers personally named by the Duke of Zhen to assist Li Chuan. Each had a certain degree of strange power against the alien fire.
Immediately, someone quickly cut out a human-shaped figure with yellow paper, then cut his palm and dripped blood on it.
The dark wind blew by, and the palm-sized yellow paper suddenly rose out of thin air and turned into a life-size figure, with a dim light appearing all over the body, looking like a ghost floating around.
But its core is still the little figure tied with paper, floating quietly on the head, exuding a chilling and chilling aura.
"Derivatives (paper figures)"
As Li Fan watched, the paper man lifted his feet off the ground, rose out of the air, and drifted toward the strange fires.
In just a split second, all the strange fires suddenly rose up, swarming up like agitated moths.
The sergeant controlled the paper man and continued to go out, trying his best to lure those things away from where his group was going to pass.
"It worked. This method really works!"
With this method, a clean and passable street was cleared in front of them, and everyone quickly stepped up and continued to move forward.
Because the paper man can't hold on for long.
Sure enough, the strange fire behind seemed to be disturbed by this new strangeness, and gradually broke through the suppression of the blood rain and became turbulent again.
Groups of strange fires floated like spherical lightning, or like will-o'-the-wisps swaying in the wind, re-circulating the street behind, causing a green sea of fire to reappear.
Li Fan and others seized the only window of opportunity and moved forward as quickly as possible. Soon after, they saw a group of demonized mummies in front of them, like legendary zombies and ghosts, exuding a terrifying aura.
They wander among the burned-out ruins, as if they are nostalgic for their former home.
"Look at me this time!"
Another sergeant opened his mouth wide and blew out a cloud of smoke that looked like wolf smoke.
After a while, gray-black smoke that resembled a mysterious realm enveloped the surrounding area.
"Derivatives (Netherworld Fog)"
"This kind of fog is something that only exists in the underworld of folklore. It can obscure gnosis and prevent induction. Ordinary people can easily get lost in it."
These fogs can interfere with the demons' perception. Now they can no longer see the mummies, but the mummies can't see them either.
As a result, everyone quickly used the direction they had just memorized to avoid the wandering mummies and get closer to where the fire first broke out.
Along the way, there were a lot of dangerous smells coming from the mist, but they were all avoided by the four people, and it turned out to be extremely smooth.
Judging from the performance of these two people, Li Fan has confirmed that sometimes, the auxiliary weird skills are even more useful than Xue An's moderate direct combat power.
The two accompanying sergeants can be regarded as special talents specially trained by the Demon Suppression Division, including Xiong Li who was previously supporting outside, and they can all come in handy on specific occasions.
Among them, the two magic spells of Netherworld Fog and Blood Rain even have some power to affect the mysterious realm to a certain extent, and can affect the expansion and movement of the weaker mysterious realm.
If they had dealt with the Fox Bride, they should have been able to contend with its treacherous domain to a certain extent.
However, these are still not the true sense of controlling the mysterious realm, but they have just begun to take on some characteristics of the mysterious realm.
In other words, it is between "possession" and "use".
Suddenly, a familiar-looking building appeared in front of the four of them.
"Baihua Tower is indeed here!"
Everyone looked at the building in front of them with a little surprise, but they saw that although it was also smoky, with large scorch marks on the outer walls and lintels, the main structure was still well preserved, and it could be vaguely guessed that it had a prosperous past. The splendor at its peak.
This is in sharp contrast to the surrounding ruins of the fire scene that only have ruins, making it difficult for people to ignore its existence.
But for some reason, there seemed to be mirage-like phantoms floating around, and a blazing fire appeared faintly in the void.
It was followed by thick smoke clouds. The entire Baihua Tower had obviously cooled down, but there was still a large area of smoke spreading in the void.
They seem to have the power to isolate time and space, forming a strange field around them, isolating the distant world.
Inadvertently, even the street where everyone was standing changed its appearance, and the surrounding sky quickly became brighter, and then quickly dimmed again.
