Near the ruins of a broken wall outside the town, Lin Xin and Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yue'er slowly walked behind a white ruined wall together.
The wind was blowing loudly, as if someone was crying. The wild grass about half a man high was also blown down hard.
"Junior Brother Lin." Cheng Ruofei said in a low voice. "To be honest, the three of us are the only ones who can trust each other in this team."
"How do you say this?" Lin Xin asked in a low voice.
"You are a new disciple who has only joined for less than two months. A lot of information is unclear and there is no way you can have any plans. I only joined this mission because of Yue'er." Cheng Ruofei said calmly. "But you know,
Why did Yue'er join the mission?"
"What?" Lin Xin was startled and had a guess.
"Kong Yuhui."
Jiang Yue'er opened her mouth to speak, but Cheng Ruofei spoke first.
"really...."
Lin Xin felt more and more that there was something wrong with Kong Yuhui.
"Kong Yuhui took the initiative to find Yue'er, who has always had a crush on him, and asked her to accompany him to complete this task." Cheng Ruofei said coldly, "I always felt something was wrong before, but now I finally understand."
"What do you want to understand?" Lin Xin suddenly saw Jiang Yue'er's face turn pale.
"They want to condense the yin blood." Cheng Ruofei said coldly. "To condense the yin blood, you need to consume the whole body essence and blood of at least five internal masters!"
Lin Xin was shocked.
He suddenly recalled that when he was in the room just now, there was no blood around Shi Kun's body. It was all clean, as if there was no blood at all in his body!
"I was wondering how could there be naturally occurring Yin blood here? I didn't expect it to be condensed from their own bodies!" Cheng Ruofei's voice became colder. "What a cruel heart... With so many missions in a row, no wonder Kong Yuhui's skills are so strong
Improved so quickly!”
Recalling that Kong Yuhui, Ouyang Qing, and Zhou Jing of the Jinyu Sect all seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other just now, it is obvious that all three of them may be insiders.
"Then, why can I trust you?" Lin Xin came back to his senses and looked at the two girls in front of him.
"I'm afraid Yue'er won't die." Cheng Ruofei said calmly, but her face turned a little pale. "But you and I, Shi Lei, and the three other people from the Jinyu Sect besides Zhou Jing, there may be someone else dead tonight.
."
Lin Xin suddenly remembered the weird Ouyang Qing last night.
"From now on, we must be together and hug each other anytime and anywhere, otherwise we will be the next to die!" Cheng Ruofei seemed to know a lot of things.
"Can you tell me why there are all kinds of weirdness everywhere in this town?" Lin Xin asked. "On the first night, I saw a pale white face. On the second night, I saw Ouyang Qing. Give me
Leading the way, but almost... Tonight is the third night."
"Have you already encountered it? This town was completely wiped out thirty years ago. In addition, they conspired to kill so many disciples and drink blood for their own use. The resentment generated is enough to envelope the entire town."
Cheng Ruofei took a deep breath and said softly, "All kinds of weird and strange things often happened in the past. Just remember one thing: don't trust anyone after dark."
"Don't trust anyone?" Lin Xin felt numb for some reason. "Why?"
Cheng Ruofei was wearing a green skirt, with two small bags bulging out like puff sleeves on her shoulders, which seemed to be for decoration.
She looked around, then carefully put a finger into a small bag on the left and took out a piece of white talisman paper.
"I'll give you this. You haven't prepared anything. If you go back, you'll have to pay back this."
"What is this?" Lin Xin took the talisman paper and saw that it was densely packed with tadpole-like black characters. At a glance, he felt dizzy and couldn't see anything clearly.
"The Resentment Talisman, if something strange appears within three meters of you, this Talisman will automatically burn, but there will be no fire and it is very hidden. You can use it to judge the identification situation." Cheng Ruofei explained. "Actually, we
If the four sects, including many sects, want to survive the endless weirdness in this world, their security depends on these external props. You should be more prepared when you go on missions in the future."
Lin Xin carefully put the talisman away and showed a little kindness to Cheng Ruofei. "Thank you."
"No, helping you is also helping ourselves. In addition, this charm is worth two jade coins, don't forget to return it to me." Cheng Ruofei gave a rare smile.
She looked very weak, like a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a six-petal flower woven with white feathers on her shawl black hair.
She has fair skin, like a porcelain doll, and although her facial features are not very beautiful, she is very well-behaved.
But when he actually speaks, he gives off a gentle and calm temperament.
"No, I don't believe Brother Kong will harm us!" Jiang Yue'er, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up and shook her head vigorously.
"Don't worry. We will know the real situation later. The key now is to protect ourselves first!" Cheng Ruofei said calmly.
"Then what should we do?" Lin Xin asked in a low voice. He had long felt that something was wrong with this place, but now that Cheng Ruofei knew so much, he simply asked her directly.
"We need to...move together first!" Cheng Ruofei looked at Lin Xin and said word by word.
Lin Xin and Jiang Yue'er were both startled.
*********************
In a dilapidated bedroom.
A stick of yellow-brown incense slowly floated out of the incense burner, and gray-white tobacco smoke went straight upward, becoming lighter and lighter, and gradually dissipated in the air of the room.
Next to the table where the incense burner is placed, sits a veiled woman in green clothes. The lower half of her cheek is covered by the veil, and the white veil flutters slightly with her breathing. It is Ouyang Qing who has returned to the room.
She was sitting at the table, her hand on the hilt of the long sword on the table, and she seemed to be concentrating with her eyes closed.
"Kong Yuhui seems to have felt something." Suddenly a man's voice sounded in her ear.
"So what?" Ouyang Qing didn't care, "You and I join forces, can't we just defeat Kong Yuhui?"
"I'm afraid he also has a back-up plan." The male voice said in a low voice.
"It's nothing more than the Yin Blood Formation and a few of his subordinates. How far can a mere second-floor struggle go?" Ouyang Qing said calmly, "The real trouble is this town, which is getting more and more resentful."
"We'll leave immediately after handling the matter. We don't have to wait for the Yin-blood Bird to appear." The male voice replied.
"Leave early?"
"Leave early."
Ouyang Qing was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"good."
"One more thing, the three little guys have moved together, do you handle it or should I do it?" the male voice said calmly.
Ouyang Qing's eyes drooped.
"I'll do it. If you kill him, you can get three drops of Yin blood."
******************
Lin Xin, Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yue'er packed up everything in the room together, and then the three of them chose another house in an empty yard and moved in together.
The three of them were divided into two rooms, which were right next to each other. There was naturally a door on the wall between the two rooms that could be opened and closed, so they could communicate with each other without opening the door.
After tidying up the room and putting things away, the three of them fetched water to wash away the sweat and dust on their bodies.
"The water is running out."
While sitting down to rest in Lin Xin's room, Cheng Ruofei whispered.
"Where is Jiang Yue'er?" Lin Xin saw that she was the only one coming over.
"Go and have a rest." Cheng Ruofei shook his head slightly and said helplessly. "The three of us are just one-level Guiyuan Jue. If we face any of Kong Yuhui, Ouyang Qing, and Zhou Jing head-on, any one of them will die, even if we are together.
, we don’t have enough actual combat experience, and we may not be their opponents.”
"Jiang Yue'er has a different identity, so you want to rely on her to make those three people afraid of attacking us?" Lin Xin somewhat understood what she meant.
"It would be great if it could be done. If he really estimated Yue'er's identity, Kong Yuhui would not take the initiative to invite her to come with him." Cheng Ruofei was still helpless.
Lin Xin didn't respond. He had injured a corpse monkey last night. It was said that the explosive power of the second-level Guiyuan Jue could not be defeated by the corpse monkey. Obviously, the power of the Yanyang Talisman Sword can at least cope with the second and even third-level return techniques.
Yuan Jue's inner master.
However, due to the difference in internal strength level, his explosive power speed cannot keep up, and the Yanyang Talisman Sword cannot be seen in the light. It is best used in sneak attacks or situations where no one knows the situation that can determine the situation of the battle.
He compared his strength in his mind. If he attacked Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing by surprise, he still had a slight chance of winning. That Zhou Jing... his attack speed was so fast that he didn't even see what was going on, and Shi Lei was beaten.
Injured.
"Don't worry too much, something will happen tonight." Cheng Ruofei whispered, "If their goal is to condense Yin blood, then the more people die, the more Yin blood they can get."
"Why don't we leave here? Go back and report to the sect?" Lin Xin asked.
"Without evidence, no one will do anything to them, and it will directly expose us. Moreover, leaving here to go to other places is also impossible. Let's not talk about the mission issue. Even now, there must be people guarding Kong Yuhui's defense around here.
"Cheng Ruofei shook his head.
"Then we just wait?"
"We just want to protect ourselves."
Lin Xin said no more, but when he thought of that red mist, he didn't just want to protect himself. This world is too dangerous, and if his strength is too low, there is always a crisis.
"If possible, we may have a chance to counter Kong Yuhui with a sneak attack." Cheng Ruofei added at this time. "We may even get the Yin blood they have condensed."
Lin Xin was shocked and looked at this girl as if he was meeting her for the first time.
"They forced me to do this!" Cheng Ruofei gritted his teeth. "Something will happen tonight. Remember, don't trust anyone!"
Lin Xin saw that her face was extremely solemn and knew that this matter was very important. Thinking of what happened to Ouyang Qing before, he nodded heavily.
"When the time comes, I will make arrangements. As long as we survive tonight, we can go find Ouyang Qing. She is the only one in the team who can compete with Kong Yuhui." Cheng Ruofei's voice gradually became quieter.
