The compass kept spinning and stopped after a while!
Pointing to the southwest...
Before Yan Chixia could put away the compass, it started turning on its own again.
southeast!
northwest!
…
north!
The compass stopped here in all eight directions: southeast, northwest, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest, and none of them fell here!
Yan Chixia put away the compass with a bitter look on her face.
"There are monsters in every direction in this city, and the level of monster power is not low... Which direction do you want to go first?!"
"Master Yan!"
Lin Ming said directly:
"We don't know much about monsters, so we'd better follow your arrangements, Master Yan. We'll just clean up which side you tell us to clean first!"
"Yes, Young Master and I listened to Master Yan..."
Nie Xiaoqian also followed suit.
After this journey, Yan Chixia was no longer as fearful to her as before.
Who allowed Yan Chixia to not realize that Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost after walking for such a long time? !
Have you always regarded her as a mortal?
Along the way, Nie Xiaoqian further felt Lin Ming's strength. With Lin Ming here to pave the way, she didn't have to worry about these big monsters at all.
Only Ning Caichen did not speak here, but his figure moved closer to Yan Chixia.
It seems that he can also understand...
One's own people speak softly!
No matter what he said, it was impossible to change Yan Chixia's mind!
He will never leave the monsters in this county alone!
If that's the case, then there's no need for him to say anything more? !
It would be better to stay closer to Yan Chixia, so as not to prevent Yan Chixia from being able to rescue them in time when monsters attack!
Yan Chixia glanced at Ning Caichen and noticed Ning Caichen's little movements, but she didn't say anything? !
He looked at Lin Ming and Nie Xiaoqian again, thought for a moment, raised his hand and pointed to the east and said:
"Everyone, please come closer to me... Let's go to the east first! According to the results of the compass' investigation, the monster in the east is the weakest in the county! After we deal with the monster with the lowest strength first, Then gradually deal with the monsters in other realms!"
"good!"
Lin Ming nodded and took Nie Xiaoqian to take a symbolic step closer to Yan Chixia!
Upon seeing this, Yan Chixia took the initiative to walk over, keeping Lin Ming and Nie Xiaoqian within one step of him, then turned around and headed towards the east!
Ning Caichen hurriedly followed.
Lin Ming and Nie Xiaoqian did not take the initiative to approach this time, but kept a little distance.
The two of them have the strength to support here and don't care much about the monsters here. Naturally, they will not react like Ning Caichen!
Ning Caichen just pales in comparison!
In fact, his choice is also a normal reaction of a person and does not deserve any more criticism!
…
Yan Chixia decided the direction, and everyone moved towards the east!
The county town was buzzing with people, and there were quite a few pedestrians around. On the surface, apart from a slight dark circle under their eyes, there was nothing wrong with them!
Under the observation of Lin Ming's Sky Eye, he could easily see that their heads seemed to be entangled with a demonic aura!
These people are already controlled by monsters!
It's just that the monster controlling them didn't give them orders, so they can still act according to their original life trajectory.
Whatever the monster does, these people will execute it unconditionally!
At that time, they will all lose their consciousness and completely become each other's puppets!
Even in this state, these mortals can't last long!
Once the demonic energy in their bodies completely takes over their bodies, at that time, even if the demons do not actively control them, they will completely turn into puppets without any consciousness of their own!
While Lin Ming was observing, suddenly, a vegetable seller not far in front of them started twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and fainted on the ground!
When other people around saw this scene, no expression of surprise flashed in their eyes. At most, it’s just a little sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad!
Soon, two men who looked like guards came to the side of the fallen man.
They did not check the other party's injuries, nor did they question other people around them. They stepped forward and lifted the other party's body...
"What are you doing?! What happened to that man?!"
When Ning Caichen saw this scene, he felt cold all over and quietly asked Yan Chixia who was beside him.
Yan Chixia shook her head and said:
"What are they doing!? I don't know, but I can guess that the reason why they are like this must be related to the monster. Let's go forward and ask, and we will know whether it is what we think. That’s it!”
After saying this, Yan Chixia walked towards the old man nearest to her without hesitation, and asked the other person pleasantly:
"Hello, brother, we just arrived in this county today, and we don't know much about the situation in this county. I would like to ask, what happened just now?! What happened to that person?! Why are the people around him so like this? Indifference?! And what’s going on with that official?! Where is he going to carry people to?!”
Yan Chixia asked all the questions she wanted to ask in one breath.
The old man glanced at Yan Chixia and the others, sighed softly, and then explained to them:
"Foreigners, you just came to us, you don't know that the situation here is normal..."
"That person just now was sick..."
"Three years ago, our people here developed a strange disease for unknown reasons. The specific symptoms are what you just saw... Once the disease occurs, it will kill people in an instant! "
"For more than three years, countless famous doctors in the city have tried countless methods, but no one can cure this disease!"
"That's right, we are already used to this kind of situation!"
"If we encounter someone suffering from this disease again, they will be taken away by the officials to deal with it!"
After the old man's explanation, Yan Chixia continued to ask.
"Brother, how will the official handle it?! How will the official handle it?! Shouldn't it be handled by one's own family?! Why should the official handle it?!"
"Why!"
The old man sighed again and shook his head.
"It's quite strange to say this. People who die from this disease must be carried to Yi Zhuang and mortued for three days..."
