In a dream.

Water town on a moonlit night.

In the bluestone alley, a thin mist spreads out and rolls over the stone bridge. Under the bridge, on the silent water waves, the awning boat sways slightly, giving a scene of indifference and tranquility after the bustling world has come to an end.

pity……

"boom!"

Smoke and dust suddenly exploded from the attic facing the street, broken bricks and tiles flew into the air, and severed limbs and blood rained down.

Two figures rushed out of the moonlit sky and landed on the stone bridge where the blood rain was splashing.

The two people landed lightly, but their steps caused a dent in the center of the bridge. Immediately afterwards, the two sides of the bridge suddenly lifted up and suddenly closed inward.

Turning over at the bottom of the bridge, there was actually a huge strange face, with eyes bent into slits and cheeks fluttering, as if chewing some delicious food.

But soon, the stone bridge monster's comfortable expression suddenly solidified, its eyes and cheeks swelled to the extreme at the same time, and a cold sword light leaked from the cracks in the stone. Immediately, the sword light surged, and the monster was shattered in an instant.

In the pile of rocks, the girl was slashing with her sword while breaking down and shouting:

"Why? Why? Why did everyone turn into monsters when the opportunity was clearly not triggered?!"

Why else?

Li Changan next to him muttered to himself.

It’s not that as soon as Feng Chong left, you, the master of the dream, were conspired and usurped by the emperor, and the country in this dream no longer belongs to you.

But at this time, there was no time to elaborate, as there were still soldiers chasing behind.

Li Changan grabbed the helpless and furious girl and crawled into a bluestone tunnel beside the bridge.

Just entered the alley.

A dozen human faces suddenly appeared in the depths of the alley, but behind the faces were not human bodies, but insect bodies similar to earthworms. They were entangled with each other and swarmed in, making people's scalp numb at the sight.

"impossible!"

The girl's eyes widened again.

"Uncle Qiu and his family only live under the city wall, how come they are here?!"

"It doesn't matter if it's impossible, it's important to escape!"

The Taoist priest grabbed her by the back of her collar and jumped up to the ridge of the roof.

By then the clouds had dissipated.

The night sky was blue-grey, like a dead man's back, and the blood moon was like a sore on the skin, pouring out an endless stream of stinky moonlight that soaked the town.

Looking far into the distance.

Under the moonlight, some screams, some strange, or some piercing howls came one after another. Countless monsters of strange shapes swarmed in from the deep alleys, from people's houses, from the streets, from the bottom of the water, and from all directions, trying to separate the only living people in this monster city.

And eat it.

Seeing this scene, the girl finally became more rational and gritted her teeth.

"follow me."

"where to?"

"My cave."

After a while.

"You call this thing a cave?"

In front of the two of them, a tall building with cornices and brackets rose straight into the sky, literally straight into the sky. This height was not a hole, it was clearly trying to poke a hole in the sky.

It is impossible for the real Xiaoshui City to have such a fantasy building, so this building is probably the girl's last bit of control over her dream.

"I want you to take care of it!"

The girl rolled her eyes and ran into the building.

The group of demons screamed and bit their butts and pushed them up.

Li Changan had no time to think too much and followed closely.

…………

Outside the dream.

Like a lamb surrounded by vicious wolves, resistance seems to be a futile effort to stimulate the predator's appetite.

In the hall.

The leader of the demons, the "man" who claimed to be the culprit behind the demon epidemic, let's call him Langzhong for the time being. He looked back and forth among the crowd with a calm and critical gaze, like a sophisticated diner choosing what to eat on the chopping board.

outside the house.

Thick fog rolled in, and countless demons hid in it, making weird howls, peeping at the creatures in the house, and just waiting for an order, they all rushed in to feast.

People were so gripped by fear that they didn't even dare to cry, let alone run away.

However, at this time, Bo Ziyu's heart felt calm, dazed and confused, and even a little bit inexplicably funny.

He looked around.

Li Changan was still sitting cross-legged next to the altar, his eyes closed, and he was still asleep.

Yu Mei was still taciturn, but beneath that ghostly face, heavy breathing could be heard.

Zhang Yi still had the same stern expression as he methodically pulled off his cuffs to bandage the tiger's mouth, and then pulled out another long knife.

And Feng Chong...

"Ah."

He let out a chuckle, which was incompatible with the situation. It was as if the monsters were not surrounding him, but he alone surrounded all the monsters.

Not only everyone in the room, but also the doctor looked over with great interest.

"Why is Taoist Master laughing?"

Under the gaze of both humans and monsters, Feng Chong still had time to put away the Patriarch's Divine Tablet on the altar, and then said calmly:

"A poor fish takes the bait, but he doesn't know it when death is imminent."

then.

Kicked over the altar.

Everyone was surprised to see that there was actually a wooden box two feet long hidden under the altar, with yellow talismans and straw tied into a hemp rope and tightly wrapped around it.

"That is?"

The doctor frowned, and the peaceful smile he had maintained since he appeared was broken for the first time.

What answered him was... Feng Chong's magic sword slashing at the knot.

Buzz!

There was a violent buzzing, like an iron cone piercing people's eardrums, causing everyone's heartbeats to slow down by half a beat.

The next second.

The wooden box cracked, and a red light shot into the sky.

At the same time.

Li Changan opened his eyes.

…

I don't know why, maybe it started from the knocked out front tooth, or maybe after the Taoist priest saved Mr. Xing, Bo Ziyu has always had an inexplicable trust in Li Changan.

When he saw Li Changan open his eyes and wake up, he was overjoyed. Thinking about it, if Feng Daosheng couldn't solve the situation, Li Daoshi would always have a way.

However, Feng Chong grabbed him.

"Walk."

Bo Ziyu was surprised.

Based on your tone just now, aren’t we going to fight back?

Looking back, I saw Feng Chong's sword-holding arm dripping with blood and his sleeves torn like rags.

"Daocheng Feng, your arm..."

Before he could ask the question, he was hurriedly interrupted by Feng Chong.

"It's too late to explain, let's go!"

He called everyone to escape to the side door of the hall.

The demons in the hall did not come to stop him, but no one would feel lucky for this, because there may be more demons hidden in the thick fog.

really.

Just arrived at the door.
