Although everyone tried to avoid the rain immediately, some people still accidentally got their clothes wet by raindrops.
Those people were very nervous at first, thinking something bad would happen.
However, after waiting for a while, he found that he was still safe and sound.
There was neither poisoning nor any strange changes.
Until the back of a practitioner's hand was wet by raindrops, his face suddenly changed, and he panicked, "I...my secret power is disappearing!"
"Did you use any spells or formations?" Huang Supervisor asked.
"No, no." The practitioner stammered, "I was using the golden-scaled secret carp to replenish my secret power just now."
Huang Supervisor's expression changed when he heard this, "Is that golden-scaled secret carp still there?"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the cultivator opened a wooden jar on his waist and took out the golden-scaled secret carp that crashed inside.
There seemed to be very little secret power left in the fish's body, and there was only one scale and a pale golden color on its belly.
Huang Jianyuan took the fish and threw it directly on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that the last remaining golden scales on the fish were dimmed.
"This rain can dissolve the secret power." Huang Supervisor's frown deepened, "Everyone, please be careful and don't get caught."
"It's not the secret power of dissolution."
Xia Huai, who has the keenest sense of the secret power, suddenly said, "The lost secret power is gathering towards the clouds above the head, and that guy is using this method to restore the secret power."
After all, that dragon had been cut into twelve parts before and had been locked up in a secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years. In order to successfully escape from prison, he had committed self-mutilation and tried his best to suppress the vitality in his body.
Although it has successfully escaped and recovered its body, it is obviously still in a weak stage, which may be the reason why it has not shown its face until now.
However, after realizing this, Huang Jianyuan was still not happy, because the methods shown by the other party were really unbelievable.
As long as the rain doesn't stop, even if they are careful not to get wet from the rain.
But once the spell is used, it will not last long at all. It will soon be decomposed into secret power and sucked into the dark cloud above the head.
If they continue to fight like this, they will only become weaker and weaker, but the dragon will become stronger and stronger as they fight.
Huang Supervisor raised his head and looked into the sky again, and asked Yan Yun, Xia Huai and the other girls, "When did Lu Jing come over?"
"Well, he said he had something to solve over there and he would rush over as soon as it was done." Wen Xiaochuan said.
"At this time?" Huang Supervisor raised his eyebrows.
However, he also knew that although Lu Jing always liked to stir up troubles from time to time, he was never vague about important matters. The reason why he hadn't arrived yet must be because there were more important things.
It's just that Huang Jianyuan doesn't know what is more important at the moment than stopping that dragon from destroying the world.
…………
Shizhou. Wuya County.
Due to years of war, this small county town located on the border is now in dire straits.
Not only did most of the city wall collapse, but many of the houses inside were also burned down. Most of the people in the city had fled elsewhere to seek refuge with relatives and friends.
There are still some old, weak, sick and disabled people waiting to die here. It can be said that ten rooms are empty.
But now, a stranger is rare in this small county town.
The man was not too tall, just over five feet tall, and his body was very thin, just like those hungry people who could be seen everywhere.
The only difference was that he was wrapped in a black robe. The black robe covered most of his body, including his head, with only one palm exposed.
But no one would want to take a second look at that palm.
The skin above was completely shriveled, like an orange peel that had lost all moisture, and the blood vessels below were intertwined with each other, like tree roots swelling underground.
In addition, the walking posture of the man in black robe is also very strange. He takes a big step first, and then does not take the other foot. Instead, he drags his body forward first, and then takes another step. Take another step.
The whole process is more like gliding than walking.
And because of his strange appearance, he was spotted not long after he entered the city.
That's a bunch of thugs.
It is actually not accurate to say that they are rogues. A few years ago, most of them were abiding by the law, farming the land, doing small businesses, and there was even one among them who devoted himself to studying the books of sages. Scholar.
It’s just that ordinary people faced the torrent of the times and didn’t have much resistance. Soon, without exception, all their families were destroyed. Those arrogant soldiers and bandits killed all their relatives, robbed all their savings, and their relatives also lost their lives. All dead.
They had no choice but to go anywhere else, so they simply stayed.
After losing their livelihood and property, they had to bully those weaker than themselves in order to survive, and gradually became the bullies in the city.
And they are even more vicious than ordinary bullies. In order to find food, they will kill orphans and elderly people. In order to burn down other people's ancestral homes, they will force the people inside to give them money.
However, Wuya County is so dilapidated that there are very few living people left in the city.
They also had no target to plunder. They had been hungry for several days and were about to eat people.
As a result, the man in black robe appeared at this moment.
The eyes of many rogues lit up. In their opinion, this was a gift from God. The person who walked in from outside the city was not a human at all, but a sheep.
Someone has already started sharpening his knife.
But the man in black robe, who was regarded as a pig and a sheep, seemed to be ignorant of his situation and was still walking towards the city step by step with that weird pace.
When he passed through the crumbling half of the city wall, danger also befell him.
The gang of thugs didn't say hello at all, nor did they shout about paying to save their lives like ordinary green forest heroes. They just came over and killed him, as if they wanted to eat him up and wipe him clean.
Two of the rogues hid themselves on the low wall, and when the men in black robes came in, they immediately jumped down from above.
The sharp knife in his hand went straight to the head of the man in black robe!
The man in black robe clearly didn't look back, but as if there were eyes on the back of his head, he stretched out his exposed palm and pinched the neck of a rogue. Then, with a gentle squeeze, the latter's throat was crushed. .
But then another sharp knife also hit his head.
Just when the rogue was overjoyed and thought he had succeeded, he found that the sharp knife in his hand was cut off with a mournful cry, and his mouth was split open.
But looking at the man who was hit, he didn't seem to be doing anything at all. He then shook his head and said in a low and harsh voice, "Look, I've said it before, a monkey is a monkey... even if Once you learn how to use tools, you are still just a monkey."
