"However, no matter how much I checked afterwards, I couldn't find any traces on his body." Ji Zijin said.
As Ji Zijin, the most powerful person present, has already said this, it can only prove that either the person who restrained Prime Minister Turtle is far stronger than Ji Zijin, or this technique is too weird and unpredictable.
No matter what the situation is, it is not good news for everyone.
This means that the demonic skills obtained by Prime Minister Turtle were not learned accidentally, but someone did it deliberately.
If you think about it further, I'm afraid it's inextricably linked to the leak of the demonic energy from the Well of Gods and Demons.
A layer of unknown haze enveloped the hearts of everyone present.
"We have to tell the teachers in the sect about this immediately and let them prepare early." Chen Xiao said solemnly.
"I'm afraid this matter will eventually fall on us." Li Qiang murmured.
"What do you mean?" Chen Xiao asked confused.
Li Qiang shook his head.
Some things are really inappropriate for others to know.
"Without further ado, let's leave now. See you in Shushan." Chen Xiao said with clasped fists.
"Goodbye Shushan." Qi Zhen also cupped his fists and handed them over.
Chen Xiao nodded towards Ji Zijin and Kun Ling.
The two stepped on the flying sword and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"I always have a bad premonition. It seems that we can't go on sightseeing like this. It's better to leave early." After Chen Xiaoer and others left, Qi Zhen said slowly with a solemn expression.
That's right, maybe as NPCs in the game, everything that happens in this world is just an accident, and they just act according to the rules of this world.
But for everyone in the team, everything that happens in this world, and any events that are related to them, can be regarded as multiple tests set by the system for them to pass the game.
And they must pay attention to the clues and information that each NPC brings to them, and then find the key to clear the game among these clues.
At Yuemeng Mountain, the man from heaven told Wu Tian that the Well of Gods and Demons was not peaceful and asked him to pay more attention. By the Taihu Lake, Chen Xiao had already told Wu Tian about the leakage of demonic energy from the Well of Gods and Demons. Everyone in the team was shocked.
Nowadays, the impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems like there is an invisible big hand slowly pushing the fermentation of this matter.
This strengthened Qi Zhen's determination to rush to Shushan.
Without further delay, Qi Zhen said to Ji Zijin and Kun Ling: "We have to rush to the next stop as soon as possible. We can't stay here any longer."
Ji Zijin and Kun Ling both nodded and did not try to persuade the group to stay.
"Before I leave, I still hope to ask Shi Qing and Shi Hong to come forward. I have something to say to them." Qi Zhen looked serious.
"Oh?" Kunling didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly called Shi Qing and Shi Hong here.
Qi Zhen looked at the two beautiful and unique women with a solemn expression.
The two of them thought something terrible had happened, and looked at Qi Zhen with confused eyes.
Qi Zhen said slowly: "Can you give me back the money you gave me when you saw the city gate?"
…
…
Walking on the way to Dabie Mountain, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran looked at Qi Zhen a little strangely.
"Don't look at me like that, that's fifty taels of gold!" Qi Zhen really didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
Nothing so wasteful.
"Who would have thought that you would say this seriously?" Jiang Yan said disdainfully.
"This is a big deal, shouldn't we say it seriously? I'm telling you, if it weren't for Kun Ling's presence, I would be really afraid that they would default on their debt," Qi Zhen said.
"You can pull me down. You didn't even notice that after you said this, the expressions on those two people were so wonderful." Yu Liang interjected.
"If they weren't polite, they would probably call us out. Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Yan rarely took Yu Liang's side.
"That's my money, what should I be embarrassed about? Is he polite? I have to throw down another ten jars of wine if I'm polite?" Qi Zhen felt a little excited when she said this.
"You two, one is greedy for wine and the other is greedy for money, don't blame each other." Meng Ran said from the side.
"Speaking of which, I actually quite like the monster Kun Ling. Although he is a bit careless, he is indeed a nice person." Yu Liang said.
"Don't forget that Kun Ling is the most powerful, but his spiritual enlightenment is not necessarily earlier than Prime Minister Turtle. This only shows that Kun Ling himself is a person who is wholeheartedly doing good. There is another reason that cannot be ignored. The relationship between the two of them is so harmonious, I'm afraid Ji Zijin has put the most effort into Kun Ling."
"In the final analysis, the immortal Ji Zijin is really good." Qi Zhen finally concluded about Ji Zijin and Kun Ling.
After what happened in Chaohu, Qi Zhen's level increased again, reaching level 27, and the same happened to Meng Ran.
It's just that the levels of Li Qiang, Yu Liang and Jiang Yan have not changed.
According to the team's original arrangement, after passing Chaohu, they should head northwest into Luzhou, take a short rest in Luzhou, and then head west.
However, now that they have a new goal, the team can no longer proceed according to the original plan.
Qi Zhen asked Ji Zijin for help and sent the team to the west bank of Chao Lake. From here, they would turn southwest and advance to the Dabie Mountains.
This journey is about the same as the distance from Wuhu to Chaohu, which is only about a hundred miles in total.
According to Kun Ling's introduction, when they travel about fifty miles westward, they will reach Shucheng, the last stop before entering Dabie, a small county inhabited by humans.
It's a pity that the carriage was left behind in Chaohu Lake, and it's probably no longer known who took it away.
As the saying goes, the sun and moon are unknown in the mountains.
The day and month here refer to a relatively long unit of time, one day, or one month.
This feeling is even more obvious in Juchao Kingdom, where the sun and moon are just the sun and the moon.
Under Chao Lake, neither the sun nor the moon can be seen.
So before they knew it, it turned out that the team had spent nearly three days underwater.
The reason why everyone was not drowned in the water was naturally due to Kun Ling's handiwork.
When I just came out of Chao Lake, I felt the lake breeze blowing around me, looked at the scenery on the surrounding land, and the most important thing was the bright sun hanging in the sky.
Everyone felt like they were in another world.
Strictly speaking, walking is much faster than riding a carriage.
So in less than half a day, everyone had arrived at the next stop of the trip, Shucheng.
The moment when you really need to start facing danger is after entering the Dabie Mountains. However, according to the consistent thinking mode of the system, danger is often hidden in the last seemingly safe place, or even the next safer place.
Yixing is like Liyang, Liyang is like Wuhu, Ziwei Cave Sky is like Chaohu, and even Suzhou is like Yuemeng Mountain.
No one stumbles over a stone over and over again.
So when entering Shucheng, the five people in the team were already on guard.
Be alert not only to the tests from demons and ghosts that may occur everywhere, but also to the people here.
It is hard for everyone in the team to imagine that Shucheng is such a place.
This place is less than a hundred miles away from Chaohu Lake, and it is even closer to the Dabie Mountains. Logically speaking, a place surrounded by mountains and rivers would not look like what everyone sees...
poverty.
Yes, this place gave everyone in Qi Zhen's team the feeling of poverty.
Not to mention that most of the local people's clothes are in tatters and their houses are in disrepair. Even the main roads that best reflect the style of the place are so rugged and full of potholes.
People here seemed to rarely see people from other places, so they all looked at Qi Zhen with some curiosity.
In addition to being curious and surprised, more people looked at them with expressionless expressions.
A deadpan expression mixed with indifference, coldness, and many similar emotions.
This is what the team is wary of now.
In a poor place, what kind of places are the most prosperous?
temple.
Not surprisingly, several people discovered that there were several temples in the city that worshiped various gods and goddesses. It seemed that these ignorant locals had the only hope for a better life.
This also caused the smell of incense here to be extremely strong. The smell of burning incense emitted from countless temples actually gave this place a solemn atmosphere.
Everyone in the team is naturally curious about the situation here, but no one has any ideas to solve the poverty situation here.
They are here to deal with the ghost king, not to improve people's livelihood.
After resting here for a night, they will rush to the mountains to find the ghost king.
When we came to the only inn in this place, everyone didn't say much, paid the room fee to the waiter, and stayed.
As long as they stay in the inn, something will happen. This has almost become a curse that the team cannot escape.
Maybe this is the bad taste of the system design plot.
Everyone originally wanted to rest early and leave this place early the next day.
Not surprisingly, things happened again.
But what happened this time was a bit unexpected for everyone in the team.
They came across a black shop.
In a normal human settlement, would there be any black shops?
Are all the government officials asleep?
While eating, Yu Liang asked his question in confusion: "Why is this dish a bit bitter and astringent?"
Or normal people can't feel this subtle difference.
But with the physical fitness of the team members, how could they not discover it?
The taste is abnormal, so it must have been drugged.
And with Qi Zhen's confirmation, this medicine should not have any impact on the bodies of the current team members.
So everyone pretended not to know what to eat and what to drink.
How could the waiter's expression, which inadvertently showed that he had succeeded in his treacherous plot, escape Qi Zhen's detection?
The five people pretended to be drugged and lay on the table, waiting for each other's next move.
