Wusu County is located among the mountains. At this time, the pomegranate flowers in the city are in full swing, as if they are burning all the way to the sunset.

The border town is not guarded by military guards and is extremely sparsely populated.

Wusu County is a prosperous city and county. Logically speaking, the population should not be so sparse.

But along the way, Balian found that the town seemed to have been looted by something, and there was a smell of war everywhere.

The sky is blue and white, but there are not many pedestrians on the streets.

There were only some thin, ragged orphans running through the dark alley, holding something tightly in their arms.

It looked like he was taking advantage of the chaos to eat food from various unattended stalls.

The sky even attracted a large number of scavenging vultures.

The crowds in the town have not yet faded away, but the air still contains the lingering strong smell of blood and the heavy rotten smell of burned metal tung oil.

"who?!"

At this moment, a heavily armored team arrived across the street. The team was small, with only a dozen people.

However, Wushan County is a county town of Shu Kingdom, and Shu Kingdom has not had any conquests in recent years, and it is an inland county.

According to common sense, even if it is a patrol patrol in the city, they should patrol the city with light armor to warn immediately.

Heavy armor and long sword, that is the armed attire during the war.

But above the county capital, there was no smoke or fire.

Wushan County has always been peaceful and will not be so hostile to outsiders.

Wen Hanwei took out the Zongyu and said, "We are disciples of Taixuan Sect and have come to Wushan County to look for someone."

The reputation of Taixuanzong, which had always been unbeatable in the past, seems to have failed to play any role in this heavily armored army today.

The leader of the officers still faced each other sharply with his long sword in his hand, and a pair of solemn eyes under the armor mask looked at everyone in Balian one by one.

Then he took out a strange-looking stone from his arms. As soon as he approached the crowd, the dark red stone in his hand began to glow.

The expressions of the sergeants behind them changed drastically, and they all immediately issued their orders. Chang Ge all pointed out with cold eyes: "Get the mecha puppets on them!"

Wen Hanwei has not yet taken back the identity token in her hand, and there is a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Although she rarely goes down the mountain, she also knows that the Nine Taixuan Sutras travel all over the world, and no matter where she goes, she will never be attacked with a knife for no reason.

Seeing this posture, Bailian didn't know what was happening in the county.

But based on the information about Shifang City provided by Qingzhi a few days ago, Bai Lian has probably guessed something.

The tense atmosphere did not last long.

"stop."

A clear sound came from the distance in the street. When the dozen or so sergeants heard the familiar voice, they also put down their Changges.

Everyone looked for the voice and saw a figure in red walking with a sword at the end of the street.

Balian saw the woman's appearance clearly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely clear, but the smile on his lips had not yet aroused.

However, he followed the wind trail and smelled the faint smell of blood coming from her body. His heart tightened and he walked over quickly.

"Why are you hurt?" he asked softly.

Yin Baishuang waved her hands towards the dozen or so sergeants, removing the fighting spirit from them.

After looking at Bailian up and down for a long time, and seeing that he was really safe, he let out a long sigh of relief and said:

"I just encountered some minor troubles in Wushan County, and some skin injuries were treated during the treatment. It doesn't matter."

Seeing that Balian wanted to talk, Yin Baishuang interrupted again: "This is not the place to talk. Come on, follow me."

"Palace Master Yin, but this group of people is carrying a puppet mecha. If they are not infected, it may be another disaster?"

Perhaps Yin Baishuang really helped these local people in the city and county, so the officer in charge was very polite to her.

Yin Baishuang said: "They are all my friends, and I will let them keep the puppet in the Qiankun bag and not release it. There is no need to worry about infection."

Seeing that she had made a promise, they did not make it more difficult, "Then I can rest assured. It is our duty to do so. I have offended you a lot, and I hope you will not forgive me."

The dozen or so heavily armored sergeants continued to patrol and defend the city.

Under the leadership of Yin Baishuang, Bailian and the others were taken to a camp in the city.

Around the camp, temporary defensive walls and thorn fences were built.

I don’t know what special essential oil was applied between the wall and the thorns.

The material of the fence is neither gold nor wood. When it encounters the light golden essential oil, it burns into a huge square wall of fire. From a distance, it is actually very spectacular.

Most of the county residents and guards gathered in the garrison camp, and the granaries, food, and supplies were also organized in order.

Yin Baishuang said as he walked: "Because Auntie said you were fine, I was not in a hurry to fight with you. When I happened to find Wushan County, for some reason, the mecha puppets purchased by people in the city went out of control for no reason.

First, they were not controlled by their owners, destroying farmland and killing livestock.

Later, he became more and more violent and began to hurt people. Originally, there were only a few malfunctioning puppet mechas.

Eventually, the number gradually increased to more than a dozen. When the situation became uncontrollable, the city guards began to use puppet mechas to suppress them.

The situation was relatively stable at first, but after only a few days of suppression, the puppet armies participating in the war all showed the same violent state and began to madly attack the residents of the county capital.

Wusu County has purchased a large number of puppets from Shifang City in recent years, but in just a few days, the puppet army in the county capital broke out in full force, and no one was spared."

Yin Baishuang's expression was unusually heavy: "I have never seen such a scene. The mecha puppets have no intentions. I am even sure that there is no one controlling these out-of-control puppet armies.

But they seem to have independent consciousness, and they know how to drive the people in the city to a place to gather them like driving cattle and sheep.

They will give priority to killing the monks and old people in the city who are unable to fight back, and then invade the city and block off the outside world."

Thinking about the next thing, Yin Baishuang took action and wiped out all the mecha puppets in the city.

But the people in the city are in a state of panic, and now they feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy when they see the mecha puppet.

Who would have thought that the mecha puppet came from Shifang City, guarded the peace of Shifang, protected the safety of mankind, and controlled demons and slayed evil spirits.

One day, it will be beyond the control of humans and come back to kill humans.

The cruelty of his methods is even worse than that of the people of the Demon Sect, and he is more cold-blooded and ruthless.

After Bai Lian patiently listened to this, he had completely confirmed what Qingzhi said, and it was indeed true.

The situation in Shifang City is probably even more serious than what A Drop of Blood found out.

The facts turned out to be what he had guessed. The witch plague raging in Shifang City had indeed spread to the outside world.

Although the crisis in Shifang City has now been resolved, the hidden dangers from the outside world cannot be completely eradicated.

He also opened the city gate wide and introduced guests from all directions. If anyone was interested, he could bring a mecha puppet infected with the witch plague into the city.

I'm afraid it's time to make a big fuss again.

Just by approaching the place of Balian, we encountered the chaos caused by the puppets. This frequency is really too pessimistic.

He could imagine what kind of crisis traps all over the world, cities and counties that purchased puppet mechas would fall into.

"How to deal with the out-of-control and violent mecha puppets in Wusu County?" Bailian asked.

Yin Baishuang said: "The material of the puppets in Shifang City is too special, and it takes too much energy to destroy them. They are invulnerable to water and fire, and difficult to cut with swords.

However, the number is too large, and the violent puppets are much more powerful and terrifying than the normal puppets.

Even if the furnace core circuit is destroyed, it can still walk and kill people normally, which is very troublesome to deal with.

So we can only dig huge pits and bury them all.

Then use the formation, with the help of the power of the five mountains of the earth, to suppress the earth below, and finally dig out the puppet's remains one by one, and the talisman masters in the city will dismantle them bit by bit and completely destroy them."

Although this method is effective and safe, it is too lengthy.

Bailian said: "Can you take me to that pit to have a look?"

Yin Baishuang nodded and said: "Yes, it is possible, but the thunder power in your body has not dissipated, and your cultivation has not yet recovered.

The mecha puppets in the pit can repair themselves as long as they have tung oil, but they are still very dangerous. You need to be careful and don't rely on others."

Soon, Bailian came to the sinkhole under the guidance of Yin Baishuang.

The giant tiankeng excavated manually was surrounded by wooden cones, and the large vertebral bodies were tied with thick hemp ropes and talismans.

Those who don’t know this might think that what is being suppressed under this pit is the evil spirits of thousands of demons and ghosts.

There is a hole in front of the giant pit. The hole is not big and can only accommodate one mecha puppet at a time.

A faint yellow light film was covered in front of the hole, and Balian could see a broken mecha puppet desperately attacking the light film in an attempt to get out.

There were ten city guards guarding the entrance of the cave.

One of the guards held a bright yellow flag in his hand.

With a wave of the small flag, the light film disappeared.

The mecha puppet rushed out like a mad dog, its eyes that were originally like hearthstones had been polluted into a deep purple color, and a beastly roar came from its mouth.

Then, with quick eyesight and quick hands, the two guards drew their sabers and pierced the mecha puppet's arms with force.
