When Zhang Yi protected Sanniangzi and escaped ashore.
Looking back at the painting boat.
The fog is already piled up like a mountain.
The fog is also slowly spreading on the long street, wrapping the lanterns on both sides of the bank, making it hazy and beautiful.
This scene naturally attracted many good people to stop and watch.
But Zhang Yi thought they were very strange.
When Chuchu came up to join in the fun, he was either very interested, chatting quietly, or standing on tiptoes and stretching his neck, all looking curious.
But once he entered the fog, he gradually lost his energy and became dull. He only dragged his steps to the shore and looked at the foggy mountains, looking dazed and standing speechless.
If it weren't for the bustling and noisy atmosphere outside the mist, Zhang Yi almost thought that what was in the mist was a group of ghosts standing coldly.
The knight-errant in "Lushan" will not understand.
The strange thing is not the people, but the fog.
These dense fogs are not ordinary fogs, they are the "stress response" after being traumatized by the illusion. In other words, the fog is the blood seeping out of Xiaoshui.
And the prisoners are unconsciously attracted to it and fascinated by it, and it is natural and natural for them to do so instinctively.
Zhang Yi had no intention of finding out. He was careful to avoid the crowd.
"Sanniang, are you okay?"
The beauty in her arms did not answer.
Although she had landed ashore, her soul seemed to still be in the foggy mountains, as confused as the people around her.
Zhang Yi was worried: "Sanniang..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly became inspired.
He drew his knife sharply and turned around.
However.
Wherever the blade pointed, there was nothing.
Only the wind stirs up the mist and stirs up the whirlpool.
illusion?
No.
It's not an illusion.
Zhang Yi, who was in the fog, couldn't see clearly, but Li Changan, who was far away in the mountains, could see clearly.
What was blown up in the mist was not just the evening wind, but a warrior wearing gorgeous and exaggerated armor and heavy makeup. He was the arrogant general who had lost his disguise as a government servant and was controlled by the phantom butterfly.
I don't know what method was used to make everyone turn a blind eye to it.
And if you open your eyes further, you can see countless churning cyclones in the mist. They are monster insects and rampant soldiers flying away from the darkness towards the boat one after another.
"Bacchus, please excuse me and ask you to withdraw."
In the mountain, Li Changan let out a long sigh.
The situation turned around several times, but the Phantom Butterfly never showed up.
Looking back at the Shuiyue Temple under the moon, it is still bright and quiet, with no black spots visible, which means that the phantom butterfly is still huddled in the temple and has not moved even half a step.
The Taoist priest scratched his longer hair into a chicken coop.
As expected, I am not the master of scheming.
This hopeless method failed in the end.
…………
If the Huafang Banquet Hall at this time is a pond, then the eyebrow is a smart and gorgeous red carp.
Chasing her prey in the dense mist like water - inspection and travel, or in other words, iron rods and ghost cars.
Yu Mei's temperament is both willful and full of bad taste.
After all, the ghost car was a big demon. It was worshiped as a god in Chu region, but it "acted" like a rat in Xiaoshui.
He has a fat head, big ears, small eyes, and two rat whiskers. People can't help but admire him at a glance. He is such a "profiteer".
People are as they appear.
The cold sword blade was right in front of him, but he was only focused on the battle between the two sides. The yellow fluid from his crotch was like a pillar, and he was holding his throat and screaming "Zhi Zhi".
He was about to end up like the county magistrate, with a sword piercing his throat.
Suddenly.
A huge black-feathered wing suddenly appeared from the fog, firmly protecting him in front of him.
No matter how Yu Mei's figure swims, the sword light hovers, it stands still, its feathers seem to be made of iron, the sword blade sweeps by, only in vain does it stir up a few sparks that flicker and disappear in the mist.
Waiting for Yu Mei's offensive to weaken slightly.
The giant wings flapped suddenly.
The eyebrows were driven away and the mist was cleared, revealing the true form.
He was a ferocious man with two wings on his back, wearing armor and holding a sword. His nose was as long as a hook, his face was as red as fire, and he had a weird little hat tied on his head.
This is a Crow Tengu, a kind of monster originating from the Japanese Empire. Somehow, it unfortunately fell into the hands of Master Yu. It was restrained and became a rampant general under the command of his subordinates.
Now that he has become the minions of the insect, looking at its ferocious flames, it seems that the new master has been generous and allowed it to eat a lot of flesh and blood, unlike the half-dead state of starvation when it was under Yu Mei's men.
Yu Mei was about to step forward again.
"The situation has failed, retreat immediately."
The voice of Dionysus rang in my ears.
Yumei paused for a moment, then pounced forward with more ferocity, unable to pull him back despite Dionysian's repeated calls, as if the reminder was just a fart in his ears.
Dionysus does not take offense.
He understood Yu Mei and what this retreat meant.
It means that all efforts have been in vain, it means that there is no way to recover, it means that the illusion has been surrendered to the phantom butterfly.
Although Yu Mei was not willing to give in, why had he ever been willing?
But……
"Stop being stubborn, little Sophora japonica, or you won't be able to escape if you don't leave. Do you want to give yourself to the phantom butterfly to help it control the illusion?"
Under the ghost's face.
Yu Mei's silver teeth almost shattered, but she finally understood that what Dionysus said was true.
He chopped off the feathers on the wings of the crow and dog in a ventive manner, and then retreated to the center of the banquet hall, looking around in silence.
Ahead, the Crow Tengu still only protected the leader and patrol, but did not catch up and fight.
A lot of demons had quietly come around, and they just spread out and surrounded the banquet hall.
Above, a thick layer of spider web had been covered for some time, and a human-faced spider was leaning upside down on the roof, ready to go.
There was also faint movement under the deck below.
This posture of being surrounded but not attacking was obviously waiting for the bag to be tightened more tightly, and then to capture her alive.
There is no way to delay it any longer.
So Yu Mei made a farewell and said:
"Edict."
…
The mud pool of the banquet hall is not just bait, prey and hunters.
In fact, although those guests, guards, actors, maids, and servants fled a lot, they were still blocked in the hall by the monsters that rushed over.
Among them was a little girl, dressed in colorful clothes, who had just performed a juggling act with poles. She somehow ended up in the banquet hall. She panicked in the chaos and jumped towards the door.
A unicorn giant has been guarding the gate for a long time. He is sitting astride the door. He is about ten feet tall. The fat on his body is draped down in layers, sealing the gate tightly like a mountain of meat.
Seeing the little girl coming over, the giant palm brushed her over unceremoniously and slightly slowly.
Also at this time.
"Edict."
The little girl trembled violently, suddenly jumped up, and jumped onto the giant's arm with agility that was far beyond ordinary people. Then she quickly climbed up the arm using her hands and feet.
In the blink of an eye, he would be on the giant's face.
"Snapped!"
I saw that the giant's other hand came first, and as fast as thunder, he grabbed the "little girl" in his hand. The previous slowness and clumsiness turned out to be all disguise.
A seemingly foolish smile appeared on his fat face.
There was a "creeping" sound of bones breaking, and the "little girl" suddenly screamed in pain, and at the same time, short hair quickly grew all over her body, and she turned into an ape in the blink of an eye.
The giant chuckled "ho ho" and tried to twist off the "little girl's" head.
But he didn't notice that an equally tall and plump figure had quietly clung to its back, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hold the giant tightly.
A few more screams were heard.
Several short figures with similar monkey looks suddenly jumped out, climbed onto the giant's head, and each put their mouths towards the giant's eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
then.
Chew together.
Suck~
Suddenly, I saw streams of white gas billowing out of the giant's orifices and sucked into the mouths of the ape monsters.
Just a few breaths.
The body like a mountain of flesh collapsed suddenly and made no sound.
And the pocket that was about to be tightened also had a hole.
Yu Mei had already taken the opportunity to turn into a red light and fly out the door.
This caused the insect cubs to lose their souls, so they quickly abandoned the boat and chased with all their might. Even the Crow Tengu, after hesitating for a while, abandoned the two big monsters and flapped its wings to join in the pursuit.
But he hasn't flown out of the gate yet.
The red light suddenly turned back, a hundred times faster than in the previous fight. The Crow Tengu was also ferocious. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, he simply closed his wings and locked his eyebrows in his arms to buy time for other monsters.
pity.
When it closed its wings, the eyebrows in its arms were like a dreamy bubble, disappearing at the touch, leaving only a purple and black magic talisman floating slowly into its arms.
then.
"boom!"
There was thunder and thunder, and the mist surged.
Immediately.
A red shadow flew out and headed straight to the head of the line.
Ever since.
The head of the line started to scream again, but this time it was better. At least he remembered to shout "spare my life" when he screamed.
But Yu Mei had no time to talk nonsense with him.
Then there was a flash of sword light.
The screams stopped abruptly.
But I saw the small half of the skull spinning and flying into the sky, as if it had overturned a sea bowl, scattering red and white "tofu brains" wantonly.
Yu Mei’s eyebrows kept moving.
Spin around and kick to the side.
"boom."
"incite!"
The bowl of skulls was like an arrow, shooting towards the last big demon in Xiaoshui - the patrol.
After all, the patrolling character was from the military. Although he was involved in the fight between the witch and the monster and couldn't escape, and was almost scared out of his mind, at this fatal moment, he still erected a low table to protect himself in time.
forward.
pity.
next moment.
He flew out along with the table.
Smashed hard into the corner.
With a "click" sound, the low table turned into pieces and scattered. The piece of skull, which was still stained with brains and hair, was embedded in his chest. He himself was slumped and tilted his head, and there was no sound at all.
Yu Mei had already stepped over his head and jumped out of the boat.
——
Wushan Xiao.
Apes are genus that live in groups.
Common in the Three Gorges area.
It is good at running and flying, can imitate human voices, lure passers-by, and absorb the essence. There must be a mother ape respected in the group, who is so powerful that she can give birth to tigers and leopards.
The meat is fishy and smelly, and you will not feel dumb after eating it.
——
As Yu Mei left, so did the demons.
The Huafang Banquet Hall seemed to be quiet for a while, with only mist filling the air like water, flooding the chest.
The people who survived the disaster looked at the corpses of the Crow Tengu and the Unicorn in fear, and then gathered together in fear to cry.
A few people dressed as guards were groping in the fog.
The magistrate is dead.
Half of the head was removed from the head of the line.
Inspection...
"Inspection Jiang is still alive."
They helped the inspector up and unbuttoned his clothes. It turned out that the inspector was so afraid of death that he even went to a banquet wearing an inner armor under his outer robe.
The skull was smashed so that the armor was deformed and embedded in the chest.
They struggled to take off the inner armor, and the inspector suddenly opened his eyes.
The guards called out several times in surprise, but the inspector stared blankly and said nothing. Instead, his body became colder and stiffer.
They quickly set up the inspection and sent him to a doctor.
But at the door.
My heart suddenly fell into ice water.
The door was sealed with a thick layer of spider web, which even a knife could not cut through.
Then I discovered that not only the door, but also the windows were blocked by spider webs.
So people gathered at the door and tried every means to get rid of the cobwebs.
But.
No one noticed that several thin figures quietly stood up in the mist.
"ah!"
I don’t know who made the first scream.
People were thrown to the ground one after another, and the remaining people scattered in panic.
There was no one to support the inspection anymore, like a heavy piece of iron wood, it fell straight into the fog with a "clang".
soon.
All the screams and exclamations were silenced, and there were faint slurping sounds in the thick fog.
A figure suddenly emerged from the fog.
It is as thin as a girl, dressed in colorful clothes, but has a hairy monkey face. It also walks quite strangely, as if half of its body has no bones.
It staggered to the inspector and accidentally discovered this fish that had slipped through the net. Its eyes immediately lit up with joy, and it couldn't wait to bend over and kiss the inspector's mouth.
Then……
The inspector's eyes trembled.
It slapped the floor violently, as if struggling, but its mouth seemed to be welded to the inspector's mouth, and it couldn't break free no matter what.
In the sound of "whimpering".
Its abdomen swelled rapidly, like a balloon connected to a faucet, getting bigger and bigger.
finally.
boom!
…………
The fog was so thick that it had already submerged most of the street market.
Looking down from above.
The long street is like a vast river with misty waves, with lanterns, pedestrians, colorful flags, and shops all hazy in the mist, like algae and algae crisscrossing under the waves.
Er.
A "red carp" jumped out of the "water", its figure was as light as a cloud of smoke, curling up into the blue sky.
Faintly trying to climb up to the moon in the clouds, the figure suddenly twists and turns.
Like a swallow in the forest.
Falling into the seemingly endless stretches of silent and empty houses, tile eaves, alleys and streets outside the night market.
It was Yu Mei who escaped from the painting boat.
Despite going through a dangerous fight, she didn't have any skin injuries on her body, but she was just a little tired from over-exertion.
She is one of the hubs of the illusion, and she can be regarded as the spiritual inheritance of Master Yu. After retrieving her memory, she knows everything about Xiaoshui, including the origins and weaknesses of monsters and rampant soldiers, and she is even more comprehensive.
It's natural to escape without any hesitation.
But what?
It is still too early to say that we have completely escaped.
She looked back.
In the dark and empty streets, countless strange figures were chasing after me.
…
"These bugs bite really hard."
outside the city.
Li Changan took everything in his eyes.
He patted the broken leaves on his body and walked out of the hiding place.
"Please tell Yu Mei and try to lure the monsters to me."
Since the plan has failed, there is no need to hide the identity anymore. Why not take advantage of the last chance to kill a group of monsters to avoid returning empty-handed.
Just about to pick up the sword and go down the mountain.
Huh?
His steps were abrupt.
There was a lot of noise at the other end of the night market, as if something new had happened.
It's a pity that the gaze of Dionysus has left with Yu Mei. Looking far away from the mountains, I can only see the rolling mist, and faintly hear people crying and calling, but it is difficult to see the details in the mist?
No need to think about it carefully.
The Taoist priest's expression changed.
He turned around and rushed back to his hiding place, quickly burying himself in a pile of fallen leaves and activating the breath-concentrating magic circle.
Immediately.
Above the mountains and forests, under the blue-to-purple night sky.
But when I saw flags fluttering, people shouting and horses neighing, and large groups of soldiers and horses passing through the sky in great strength, with bright armor and gorgeous robes, when I saw them, I thought they were heavenly soldiers and generals descending on the mortal world.
But if you look closely, you can see that the scales, claws and fangs hidden under the colorful clothes reveal their heels and feet - they are just monsters and monsters.
They are all demons parasitized by phantom butterfly larvae and rampant soldiers controlled by them.
Li Changan remained motionless and quickly asked the Dionysian to inform Yu Mei to forget about anything else and run away.
How many people are hidden in the small Shuiyue Temple?
Fortunately, I didn't rush in rashly.
Although Li Changan was happy, some doubts lingered.
These soldiers and horses are probably Huandie's last capital. They previously stood still, but now they are suddenly sent out? In order to hunt for the eyebrows?
The Taoist priest's intuition should not be like this.
No reason.
He thought of the sudden chaos in the night market.
