In the mountain forest at night, cold light flickers.
A rat bigger than a stone was split open head-on. Before it fell to the ground, it had already turned into black smoke and dissipated.
An unpleasant smell was left in the air, and then dissipated.
The mountains in the dark night are like an endless sea, and any dirty water and turbid currents can be easily dispelled.
"Another one, there are too many ferocious beasts around here."
Black Widow shook her head and put away the knife in her sleeve.
She has always used frightening silk, but operating this soft silk in the dark requires too much eyesight and is not as convenient as swords and guns.
Not just her, the group of people on the left and right were holding weapons, and they swept away and moved forward. Only Meng Huazhou was holding a compass, staring at the needles and various patterns on it, and mumbling.
It was late at night at this time, and it had been half a day since the few people entered Xishan, from afternoon to evening, and from dusk to late night.
But then he remembered that this place might not be under the control of the inspection district.
But the elder saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and took him away. The two of them went out with money to discuss what they wanted to talk about: "It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words" and the like.
Tang Zhao wanted to say: "This Xishan Mountain is considered military control. There are troops stationed in the mountain. Even if there is a magic cave, it will probably have to be dealt with by the garrison first. The inspection department will not be able to manage it." But because of his status, he certainly cannot say this.
Black Widow said: "Then it has to be you."
Tang Zhao was very surprised. It was not that he had never seen ferocious beasts before. On the contrary, he had seen a lot of ferocious beasts. When he was an intern at the District Procurement Department when dealing with small evils, he basically dealt with ferocious beasts, so he knew very well how to deal with evil beasts.
The frequency with which ferocious beasts appear.
At that moment, everyone separated. Black Widow and Tang Zhao walked together. The two of them went directly south and swept away the ferocious beasts when they saw them. Black Widow mainly took action, and Tang Zhao mainly picked up leaks. He did not act as the main force, but watched the six directions.
Keep your ears open and your mind elsewhere.
He became more determined to kill, but only said: "We are almost there."
One or two were fine, but Black Widow killed dozens of them in a row, and then felt a little powerless. Tang Zhao stepped forward to make up for it with a few swords. Black Widow did a little trimming, found a few big trees, and wrapped several circles around the trees with fright silk.
, like weaving a net, nets are formed among the trees, like a enchantment array.
Tang Zhaodao: "It's not impossible. He took over his father's last order, and the order to kill you may be in order before he searches for the fairy city."
Black Widow nodded. Although she didn't have first-hand information, she had worked hard to study the novel. She also speculated that the person who wrote the novel was not a swordsman or a master who had been on the front line. He did not understand the evil.
The origin of the novel is still written along the lines of "evil heretics, demons and ghosts" in traditional novels. She has been on the front line and has seen devil's caves, and can find shadows of the real world in them.
If Yin Qi is free, it will not last long. There is a way to metabolize Yin Qi in heaven and earth, and that is sunlight. In places with sunny skies, Yin Qi can easily dissipate, but in places with continuous haze, or
In corners covered by mountains, the yin energy will naturally linger for a long time, and another group of ferocious beasts will appear at some point.
Now the two guides refused to leave even if they wanted more money. Meng Huazhou simply threw them two money and told them to get out.
Black Widow said: "If there is a devil's cave here, why is there no inspector? After all, Xishan is still Yunzhou's territory."
Meng Huazhou said: "It will be faster if we each patrol separately."
Tang Zhaodao: "Meng Huazhou is not nearby, I can be sure. It doesn't look like a beast..."
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "I am also a little worried. I found that he knows more about the fairy city than I thought. He has actually surveyed the terrain of this place long ago and already has a plan in mind. The guides are all pretentious, and the compass and other things are more
He's just pretending to make us think he's not familiar with him, so we take it lightly."
As he spoke, he took out the map, unfolded it, and then made a fire fold to allocate areas to everyone.
The two guides took the money and showed their kindness. The younger one even advised: "Sir, the mountains are really not a place for people to go. Why don't you all retreat? Life is not important to anything."
Black Widow sighed: "I don't know where I offended their father and son. It's like a mad dog chasing me and biting me. With you watching, I'm not worried down there. I'm just afraid that he will take action when he comes to Fairy City, which is his home court."
As he spoke, he kept turning the compass.
However, after walking for a while, we gradually entered the deep mountains and it was getting late. The two guides refused to leave, saying that the front was a restricted area and there were monsters eating people.
When the weaving was almost finished, the black widow called Tang Zhao and said, "Come in and have a rest."
He then solemnly said: "Everyone, tonight is just a drill. The fairy city will not come tomorrow. Kill the ferocious beasts if they can. If you can't kill them, call for help in time. It's not a shame for everyone to do it together. But there was one section where I saw something special.
Don't act rashly with things, especially white things, things that glow at night, and white things. You must come back and tell me, and I will handle it. That may be a key clue. If you move it randomly, you may cut off the way to heaven.
"
Black Widow smiled and said: "Okay. Our Azhao has grown up and is really reliable."
She knew that Tang Zhao's inspiration was astonishingly strong. If there was any discovery, it would be Tang Zhao who discovered it. She could take a break. Moreover, people with strong inspiration are often injured by inexplicable external forces. Only swordsmen have swords and can protect themselves.
.It is very dangerous for people who are not swordsmen to indulge their inspiration at will.
If it is a fragment from the Demon Cave, it is normal for the Yin Qi to remain for more than a hundred years.
Black Widow let out a sigh and said, "Really? Is the compass just for show?"
Meng Huazhou got lucky and knew that they would not give him a chance to take advantage of them, so he could only say: "That's fine."
"According to my determination, within a radius of twenty miles, this is the place where the Xu family's predecessors saw the Immortal City." Meng Huazhou said, "But there are too many ferocious beasts here. Let's split up to clear them out and make peace.
The place is so I can arrange the ceremony. Otherwise, even if it is arranged, I am afraid it will be destroyed."
"Let's define our own areas. No one will drive away the ferocious beasts in one direction. Senior Sister Xu is in the northwest, Brother Yu is in the northeast, Senior Sister Yin is in the southwest, Brother Tang..."
She asked again: "Do you think he was being mysterious when he asked us to pay attention to the glowing white things? Or is he collecting other things and just using the white things as a shield?"
Tang Zhao praised: "This formation is good. It is especially suitable for ferocious beasts. If an ordinary beast is cut, it will inevitably be stained with flesh and blood, and the thread will become sticky and lose its sharpness. This ferocious beast does not leave a body and can keep cutting. Meng Huazhou said he wanted to
Setting up formations is mostly just for show, and only Sister Yin can arrange formations."
Even though the Black Widow said this, Meng Huazhou couldn't help but think: The old man could see clearly that this woman was always thinking about the Land Inspector, and she was indeed a double-hearted person. Did she not wait to dedicate the entire villa?
Jinshan was fine at the beginning, but the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous and narrow and difficult to navigate. Naturally, we were not afraid of these experts. Even the two guides were as good as walking on flat ground.
He said seriously: "So, Sister Yin, don't leave my sight here."
Tang Zhao said: "I will go to the south with the village owner."
Meng Huazhou's expression was stiff, and Yu Sichen was excited and said with a smile: "Okay, Ah Yao and I are together, so we'll just take care of the north. You and Yue come to the east and west, so all four sides are taken care of. Senior Shangguan will mediate in the middle."
Tang Zhao pondered, and finally said: "I don't know either. Logically speaking, you shouldn't lie on such a key issue. I don't believe that he really doesn't want to find Yunzhong City. Let's just not be fooled by the appearance, let go of inspiration, and find the best solution.
Something special.”
The two people retreated into the net, and they saw fierce beasts rushing towards them. They were immediately cut into pieces by invisible thin lines and turned into black gas. The two people sat in the net to rest, like two spiders waiting to be hunted.
It made him want to report it to the District Procuratorate.
Beast charms command ferocious beasts in a systematic way, even like marching to fight. The ferocious beasts here are at best inspired by their ferocious nature and are disorganized. Even beast charms are probably poor beast charms.
Meng Huazhou called on everyone to go inside, but the others did not flinch.
Once protected by the Demon Cave, Yin Qi can take root in the human world, just like the sun, which rotates forever with the rising and setting of the sun. It shrinks in the Demon Cave during the day and emerges at night, polluting one in the east and another in the west.
, within a few years, an area has become a paradise for ferocious beasts.
With the practice of sword heart, Tang Zhao's inspiration became more solid and majestic, covering a large area of woods.
After walking for a while, we occasionally saw traces of ferocious beasts in the woods, behind boulders, and under cliffs. As we walked further back, there were more ferocious beasts and they had already begun to attack.
Meng Huazhou was happy when he saw these ferocious beasts and said: "This is the right place. Everyone - I found out through research that the fairy city was not destroyed by the invasion of demons, but by a sinister disaster. There were heavenly demons and demons in the sinister disaster.
During the battle between the fairies, the Demon Cave and the Fairy City perished together. The remaining Fairy City floated away, while the Demon Cave was shattered. But the Demon Cave is still a Demon Cave after all, and there may be fragments falling into the ground, and the Yin Qi breeds many ferocious beasts. For more than a hundred years, although
Some may have dispersed, but there are still many surviving.”
Originally, the ferocious beasts were one in the east and one in the west. Some attacked actively, and some were timid and ran away directly. But gradually, the ferocious beasts seemed to have smelled the fishy smell, and they took the initiative to pounce out. The attack was very fierce, and they rushed forward one after another.
, endless stream.
At this time, Tang Zhao thought of the incident mentioned before and let go of his inspiration.
Tang Zhaodao: "His compass... is actually used by our Talisman Sword Masters, specifically to measure the attributes of Talisman elements. I don't know where he got it in exchange. He probably thought that this compass was very gorgeous and looked very professional? Use that to measure the direction.
, he can detect shit! He has already memorized the surrounding terrain, and even drew the map. I guess he even figured out where the fragments of the Demon Cave are, but he just didn't tell us, leaving the Yin people behind.
"
The two old hunters were greedy for money, so they walked a few miles more. Suddenly a ferocious beast emerged from behind a tree. If Tang Zhao hadn't taken action in time, one of them would have been killed long ago.
Black Widow killed a ferocious beast and said with a smile: "Looking at how careful you are, do you think he will kill me tonight before he can get to the fairy city?"
Black Widow looked at the endless stream of ferocious beasts, and her own frightening threads were gone. The big trees wrapped with silk threads gradually lost their strength and were teetering on the verge of collapse. She said: "You said this ferocious beast is crazy. Is there a dirty hand? It's Meng Huazhou's fault.
Is it? Or is it a beast?"
Meng Huazhou naturally didn't take it seriously and said he would pay more and let the guide just lead the way.
The frequency of ferocious beasts appearing in the Western Mountains was higher than that of ordinary minor evils. Apart from the Devil's Cave, he really couldn't think of any other place on the ground with so many ferocious beasts.
Tang Zhao grinned and said, "I don't. Master Yin and I will never separate."
The two chatted and killed the ferocious beasts all the way. As they kept killing, they felt that there were more and more ferocious beasts.
After a while, Tang Zhao noticed something. He glanced at Black Widow and did not leave. Instead, he swung his sword.
A ray of light seemed to be spiritual, flying out and passing through the thick woods in the dark night.
At the other end of the woods, under the tall trees and among the dense bushes, there was a white shadow hidden there. The light came in front of me in the blink of an eye.
