"Hello, this is the takeout you ordered."
The iron door opened, and a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties took three portions of sweet and sour pork rice bowl from Su Mo.
With a "clang" sound, the dark brown security door slammed shut.
Su Mo stood at the door with a strange expression.
Because he clearly realized that the Mr. Liu who just took the takeaway was clearly a level 4 magician.
Although he has also encountered practitioners while delivering food.
But this was the first time I met a practitioner in the old Tongzi Building.
Under normal circumstances, because of the power they possess, practitioners can easily make a lot of money and buy themselves a better place to live.
But this person in front of me, no, not just him, there are two other third-level people in the house. These three people live in this old house at the same time.
Su Mo was a little curious, and with a quick sweep of his mental energy, he immediately understood the reason.
at the same time.
Inside the house.
Liu Chao, who put down his takeout, shouted into the room:
"Agang, Ayun, come out to eat."
As the words fell, a pair of young twins slowly walked out of the house.
They looked to be in their early twenties, wearing long sleeves and long trousers. Their exposed skin was very pale, with a strong smell of medicine on their bodies, and they coughed lightly from time to time.
If it weren't for the weak spiritual power aura on their bodies, no one would be able to imagine that they could be practitioners.
Sitting at the table and opening the takeout box, Liu Yun, who had a pair of ponytails braided, picked up the chopsticks a few times and obviously had no appetite.
As the eldest brother, Liu Chao saw this and said:
"Eat more to help you recover."
Liu Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a hint of resentment:
"No matter how much we eat, what will happen? Can the ice poison in our body be eliminated?"
Liu Gang on the other side took down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice:
"Ayun, how long will you continue to act like a spoiled brat? In order to help us cure our illnesses, my eldest brother has sold out all the things he could sell. Why are you still dissatisfied? If you hadn't been determined to explore the ruins, how could we have succeeded? Such a strange poison?!"
Liu Yun's eyes immediately turned red after being scolded by Liu Gang.
When Liu Chao saw his younger brothers and sisters quarreling in front of him, he immediately smoothed things over and said:
"Okay, Ah Gang, please say a few words. When Ah Yun said he wanted to visit the ruins, I agreed. As the eldest brother, I failed to protect you and let you fall into a trap in the ruins. This is my fault. Ayun’s complaints are nothing.”
"Brother, you just love her too much, cough cough cough..."
As Liu Gang spoke, he suddenly started coughing and his face turned purple.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chao and Liu Yun quickly took out the elixir and gave it to him.
Relying on the detoxifying pill to temporarily suppress the toxin, Liu Gang's complexion barely recovered.
Liu Yun's eyes became even more worried.
Seeing this, Liu Chao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"I found out about the third-grade Long Yuan Dan in the black market. Even if it can't completely remove the ice poison, it should be able to play a huge role in easing it. However, the other party is only willing to trade with Hanlicao.
I have seen the Hanli grass in that ruins before, near the trap you fell into, and I plan to go there again in the afternoon to bring out the Hanli grass. "
"Brother, no!"
"Brother, you must not!"
Liu Yun and Liu Gang stopped him quickly.
Liu Yun even grabbed Liu Chao's wrist, with veins popping out on the back of his slender hand, and said in a hurry:
"Brother, we have all been to that place. There are countless restrictions inside and there are traps everywhere. Even if we passed through safely last time and re-enter this time, there is no guarantee that we will be safe and sound. If there is a slight mistake, we will have to leave our lives there. I will never allow you to take risks!"
There was deep worry and fear in Liu Yun's eyes.
Liu Gang also said in a deep voice:
"That cave is not something we low-level monks can explore at all, and even some small forces are not qualified to enter because it is too dangerous.
In my opinion, we should use the location of the cave as a trading object to trade with big forces like the Civil Security Bureau and the Magician Alliance to seek corresponding benefits.
Although if you fail to explore that high-level cave in depth, you will definitely lose a lot of opportunities and treasures, but you have to be self-aware, because you will have nothing if you die.
And even if we don't hide it, the treasure light revealed in that cave will become more and more powerful. Sooner or later, someone will discover it, and we won't be able to hide it for long. "
Liu Chao glanced at his younger brothers and sisters, hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, let me find connections in the afternoon, explore the voices of the two major forces, and see if I can sell it at a better price. At least I have to remove the poison from both of you."
Liu Yun and Liu Gang burst into laughter when they heard this.
After finishing the meal, Liu Chao asked the two of them to take medicine to suppress the toxins. Liu Chao packed up the garbage, said goodbye to the two of them and left the house.
When he got downstairs, he looked back at the Tongzilou, which was no longer occupied by anyone. His eyes finally fell on his own house, and he murmured:
"But my brothers and sisters, how do you understand the importance of opportunity to casual cultivators?
If you miss this time, even if you can cure the toxins in your body, you may not be able to advance in the future.
The spiritual tide is coming, we have to fight! "
A look of determination flashed across Liu Chao's eyes, he clenched his hands and strode towards the distance.
At the same time, Su Mo, who was sitting 300 meters away and had just finished his eighth bowl of pickled vegetables and egg fried rice, raised his hand to scan the QR code to pay. While rubbing his belly, he pushed the little electric donkey and followed lazily.
From beginning to end, the dialogue between the Liu brothers and sisters was in his spiritual perception.
To be honest, Su Mo didn't like to pry into other people's privacy, but today's sudden curiosity gave him unexpected gains.
This made him feel vaguely excited.
"Nima, sitting in a corner and listening to gossip is simply poisonous."
Su Mo shook his head and drove some thoughts out of his mind.
Then he thought of the cave the other party mentioned.
Judging from the conversation between the other party, they entered the cave to explore and accidentally fell into a trap, causing the two of them to be poisoned by ice poison.
He had heard of the ice poison. It was the poison of the ancient monster Ice Chi. Its specific power depended on the level of the Ice Chi.
But as a descendant of dragons, Ice Chi cannot be underestimated no matter how weak the poison is.
It stands to reason that serious ice sting poison can easily kill even a mage.
But now both level 3s have been able to hold on for such a long time.
This is related to the degeneration of ice poisonous toxins over a long period of time, and also to the small dose of their poisoning.
However, no matter how small the toxins are, it will gradually cause huge damage to the body as time goes by.
It must be detoxified in time.
The Long Yuan Pill mentioned by Liu Chao is the most suitable detoxification pill.
Although this kind of elixir is only of the third grade, the method of refining it has been lost. I am afraid that the few pills Liu Chao found out about are the only ones left.
Of course, in addition to using targeted detoxification pills, there are other ways to remove toxins.
For example, his awakened spleen talent can easily separate toxins from the opponent's blood. It only takes three times at most to completely eliminate the toxins.
"So let me take a look at where the so-called cave is. If I really gain something, I can help you detoxify your brothers and sisters later, as a thank you gift."
Su Mo looked at Liu Chao getting into a taxi in the distance and silently rode on the electric donkey.
We followed all the way forward, heading directly towards the old city. The road became more and more deviated, and the surrounding area became more and more dilapidated.
Just when Su Mo was thinking about whether to get closer, suddenly, there was a violent explosion in front of him.
A white shadow suddenly jumped out from a nearby alley, followed closely behind by two shouting figures.
The taxi was walking on the route taken by the white shadow.
Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had no intention of taking a detour and was ready to tear through directly.
The taxi driver was shocked when he saw this, but he had no time to react.
Liu Chao, who was sitting in the back seat, had a look of horror on his face.
Because he was keenly aware of Bai Ying's power.
Even his speed was completely incomparable to his opponent.
He had no intention of resisting and was immediately ready to rush out of the door to escape.
However, at this moment, the white figure that was about to crash into the car suddenly made a violent vibration as if it hit an invisible wall.
It wasn't until two seconds after the sound fell that the taxi driver suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped.
Liu Chao opened the car door and walked out.
Only then did he see clearly what the white shadow was.
I saw that it was a plastic doll the size of an ordinary person. The whole body was naked and pale, but it had a cold and hard texture like metal.
And his artificially carved face looks very stiff, but also has a terrifying meaning that makes people feel scalp numb, which perfectly embodies the psychology of the uncanny valley.
At this time, the two figures that had been chasing fiercely attacked the white doll.
Seeing this, the puppet turned its head 180 degrees and suddenly let out a sharp scream at them.
The sound waves were as real as they were, knocking them away on the spot.
As for the aftermath, it spread far and wide.
Liu Chao quickly put up a spiritual barrier to block it. Even so, he still felt upset and his spiritual energy was slightly disordered.
The taxi driver on the side, even though he was separated by a spiritual barrier, was still stunned by the aftermath of the weakening.
After the puppet repulsed the enemy, it planned to flee directly to the other side of the alley without stopping.
At this time, a sigh suddenly came, as if it was ringing in everyone's ears.
Then everyone saw that the previously arrogant puppet suddenly seemed to have lost control. A ray of ever-changing colorful light fell on it, sucking him towards the other side.
Until he finally landed in front of a small electric donkey and sat on his knees on the ground.
For a moment, the silence on the field reached an extreme.
Immediately, the two figures chasing after the puppets hurried over. They were Yu Hongfei and Wei Cang from the Civil Security Bureau.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your help and helping us capture this beast."
Yu Hongfei quickly thanked him.
Su Mo glanced at the struggling doll and said doubtfully:
"Where did you encounter this monster?"
Yu Hongfei looked solemn and said:
“To be honest, we have received more than a dozen reports recently, and the perpetrators were all these weird dolls.
The bureau dispatched quite a lot of manpower to trace around and raided a lot of people one after another.
Today we were hunting several other dolls nearby.
As a result, I ran into this guy right after I finished processing.
It's stronger than any figure we've come across so far!
Even the combined efforts of the two of us at Level 5 can't keep him.
I have already sent a request for help to the bureau. I never expected that you would arrive in time, which would save us a lot of time. "
Su Mo nodded and looked at the puppet with a slightly strange look.
He just used the Great Five Elements Magnetic Extinction Divine Light to attract this puppet.
so--
"This thing looks like it was made by someone, but it is more like a magic weapon than a weird thing.
If calculated in terms of grade, this guy can be said to be top grade among mid-level magic weapons.
It’s not surprising that you are difficult to deal with.
And the most important thing is..."
Su Mo touched his chin and asserted:
"This thing should have its own consciousness."
"But how can a magic weapon produce consciousness?"
Yu Hongfei and Wei Cang were a little confused.
"Who said the device can't have consciousness?"
As the words fell, a figure swept over from a distance and quickly landed nearby.
Looking at Song Ruyuan who had arrived late, Su Mo couldn't help but smile:
"I didn't expect that we just had dinner the night before yesterday and we met again today."
"It's a coincidence indeed."
Song Ruyuan smiled, and his expression quickly became serious again:
"But even if there is no such coincidence, I'm afraid I will have to call you next.
The specific situation is still related to this doll. "
"Oh, what do you say?"
Su Mo asked.
Song Ruyuan looked solemn and said:
"Members of our bureau have disposed of many dolls before.
The quality of those dolls was relatively low and could be handled by any level 3, so I didn't take it to heart.
But today, this new high-end doll has been found in several places.
Not only is the opponent's strength comparable to the fifth-level limit, but he also possesses a certain level of spirituality and will attack ordinary practitioners in a targeted manner.
I just finished handling one, and after learning the news here, I hurried over. "
Song Ruyuan looked at the puppet on the ground and said in a solemn voice:
"If this kind of dolls can be mass-produced, there may be big problems in Qinghu City next!"
Su Mo listened and his eyes flickered slightly:
"But to make such a high-end doll, many rare materials should be used. With the level of spiritual energy recovery in today's world, there shouldn't be a lot of those materials, right?"
Song Ruyuan nodded and said:
"Before I came here, I happened to do an autopsy on another doll. It did involve a lot of precious materials, most of which are collected by various families.
But since these materials have appeared, they must exist on the market.
But the most important thing here is the core thing that makes the doll move.
That thing is called a bone worm, and it is an extremely special kind of spiritual worm.
This spiritual insect can be refined together with the artifact to give it spirituality and use it to better unleash the power of the magical artifact.
This is also a side trick thought up by many ancient cultivators who did not have spiritual treasures in ancient times. "
"It's a pity that the bone worms have been extinct a long time ago. We don't even have such a thing in our bureau, and we don't know where the bone worms in this doll came from."
Song Ruyuan felt quite depressed when he said this.
Liu Chao, who was standing not far away, suddenly changed his expression after hearing these words.
