Yan Su and his party handed over nine middle-grade spiritual stones at the city gate and entered the city.
Sure enough, as the rumors said, there are not only human monks in the city, but also many monks from other races, and there are even some hidden demon cultivators. The vendors and shops that can be seen everywhere on the street are all humanoid fish fins with faces. There are also fish scales on them. These are ordinary people from the sea tribe, and there are also some half-demon from the sea tribe who intersect with other tribes.
However, the purpose of their trip was not to this city, but to go to the city lord's palace and pass through the teleportation formation to the Hai Clan's land.
Yan Su followed Li Xiuyuan, his eyes constantly looking at the expressions of the vendors on the street. The strange thing was that these people were all lifeless. They did not look like they were shouting to attract visitors. Instead, they stared at the items in front of them in a daze.
"Master, what's going on with these people?"
Yan Su tugged on Li Xiuyuan's sleeves and whispered about the strangeness he noticed.
Li Xiuyuan also noticed this. He walked to a stall selling sundries, squatted down, and wanted to inquire with him.
Unexpectedly, the man's expression changed as if he had seen something terrible. He didn't even care about the things on the ground and ran away, leaving only three people standing there stunned.
"master?"
"It's a bit strange. The two gatekeepers at the city gate were also absent-minded." Li Xiuyuan also said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid something will happen in this city. Let's go to the city lord's mansion first. With such a big change happening in the city, I'm afraid something went wrong somewhere."
Yan Su followed Li Xiuyuan's words and suggested truthfully.
"Okay, anyway, we have to pass through the teleportation formation of the City Lord's Mansion, so let's go check it out together."
The three of them turned left and right in the city and walked for a while before crossing the market and arriving in front of a building. As soon as they stepped inside, Yan Su felt a chill around her. This place gave her a very bad feeling. A sticky, depressing feeling.
"There's something wrong with this place."
Li Xiuyuan looked at it for a while and then made a definition. Fortunately, with his cultivation level, this little bit of demonic energy couldn't do anything to him.
He watched for a while, then asked Yan and Su to take a few steps back and stay away. Then he took out his natal sword, pushed open the huge mahogany door, and walked in.
Yan Su also knew about this matter and she and Yan Dong couldn't do anything with their cultivations and could only hold them back, so they simply stayed outside and waited for the master to come out.
After a stick of incense had passed, Yan Su had not seen the master yet, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. At this time, she also felt that the sticky feeling of depression was getting heavier and clearer, like There was something dirty around her and Yandong, but she was afraid of something and didn't dare to go past it.
She didn't like this passive feeling.
"Yandong, do you feel as if something is watching us?"
Yan Su could only feel his eyes sizing up her and Yan Dong. The feeling of being stared at was very strange.
"I feel a little uncomfortable, how about you?"
Yan Dong said with a trembling voice.
"Depression."
Yan Su didn't know why, but after Zi Yandong said those words, the stickiness felt like it was about to touch her. She only felt a chill behind her, and the hairs all over her body trembled, as if something was wrapped around her. An invisible pressure fell on her body, and the sticky feeling of being entangled with something slowly extended to her neck.
"ah!"
Yan Su screamed, and she felt her neck tighten. The next second, her whole body flew into the air, as if she was thrown out of control by something.
She desperately scratched at her neck, trying to break free and breathe air. At this moment, her neck was strangled, and a strong feeling of suffocation came over her.
"Let's go!"
Yan Su pinched the invisible force wrapped around her neck with both hands. She injected spiritual energy into her hands, and she could indeed feel the greasy thing wrapped around her neck.
That thing had no form, and ordinary people couldn't see or touch it. Even a monk with a low cultivation level like her couldn't see it. She could only touch it by injecting most of her spiritual energy into her hands.
She was hung in mid-air, and during her struggle she discovered that the thing seemed to only attack her, while Yandong standing next to him was unscathed.
damn it! Is it because of this spiritual root again?
Yan Su secretly cursed in his heart, her spiritual root was really a walking body of disaster.
"Go find the master!"
After finally calming down, Yan Su shouted in desperation for Yan Dong to leave quickly to find his master.
This can't go on like this!
Yan Su noticed that the wrapping around her neck seemed to be weakened by her spiritual power. He didn't have time to think about the reason. After seeing Yan Dong disappearing quickly, Yan Su mobilized the remaining spiritual energy in his dantian, and with a burst of energy, Pull the tangled thing apart with force.
Sure enough, as soon as the thing touched her sudden surge of spiritual energy, she didn't react and quickly let go. Yan Su also escaped from mid-air. When he was about to fall to the ground, he protected his head with both hands, curled up into a ball, and landed on the ground. Rolled in a circle.
Because of the spiritual protection function, apart from some scars on her body caused by falling to the ground, the most serious thing was that her arm was dislocated and fractured. Fortunately, her head was protected.
Yan Su stumbled all the way and ran towards the door with all her strength. Now, she must rush to the master's side as soon as possible. She is not capable of facing those things hidden in the dark alone. She is only at the first level of Qi training. No chance of winning!
In just a few years, her life was more exciting and dangerous than the decades in her previous life.
Those things were chasing after her, and Yan Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He used the basic footwork, the walking step, according to the memory of his previous life.
Five steps, one move, ten steps, one shadow.
Yan Su became more and more comfortable in using it, and his figure was changing rapidly.
This step method is considered to be of medium to high quality during the Qi refining stage. Although it is not very useful, the good thing is that the steps are fast. For low-level monks, ten steps and one shadow also have a confusing effect.
Yan Su now only uses escape to speed up his pace.
However, her cultivation level was low and the grade of this step was not very good. Even with the blessing of this step, Yan Su felt that if she could not find her master, she might be overtaken.
Yan Su was still being chased here, and Yan Dong was quietly looking at Li Xiuyuan not far away who was lost and couldn't find his direction.
The mansion is very wide, and Yan Su has been disoriented since she stepped inside. She ran around in confusion, looking for her master and Yan Dong along the way, but she couldn't find them.
Just when she was exhausted and about to give up as soon as possible, she heard someone calling her.
Yan Su subconsciously turned around, only to see that her vision went dark. She didn't understand the situation and suddenly fell down.
She was caught up.
This was what Yan Su realized at the last moment before he fainted.
She looked back and saw nothing. At this moment of pause, the strong sense of depression overwhelmed her. She seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper into a suffocating swamp, with a very disgusting sticky feeling on her body. Surround her.
