Chapter 431 The Mystery of Peony Town
Mudan Town is famous for planting peonies.

The town has a population of tens of thousands and a well-developed economy and trade, making it a place to live and work in peace and contentment.

But when Shi Xiaole walked into Peony Town, what he felt was a strange atmosphere where everyone was in danger.

Some pedestrians were in a hurry, and some were in small groups, discussing something in a low voice.With Shi Xiaole's hearing ability, it is easy to hear that these townspeople are discussing the latest mysterious murderer.

"A few days ago, the disciples of the nearby Songshan School went to Mudan Mountain. I heard that [-] of the thirteen disciples died, and the remaining one became a lunatic. Later, the head of the Songshan School personally took action, but he disappeared. , A few days later, the upper half of the body was discovered."

"It's not just the Songshan faction. During this time, many masters of the rivers and lakes have heard of coming here, but they died or disappeared. Sigh! It must be that the peony girl turned into a ghost to take revenge on us."

Upon hearing this sentence, Shi Xiaole noticed that many townspeople showed panic on their faces, and hurriedly scattered away, as if they were avoiding a taboo.

After finding the inn, Shi Xiaole started to wander around the town, inquiring about some more definite news.

Before coming here, he had already learned from the information provided by the Anti-Magic League that there was a famous burning incident in Mudan Town about 20 years ago.

It is said that a woman was contaminated with evil things, which brought bad luck to the town, so under the leadership of Li Zheng and several squires, the townspeople tied the woman to Peony Mountain and burned it on fire to pray to the heavens .

However, even though Mudannv was burned to death, the strange incidents in the town still happened intermittently, and they did not subside until the last ten years.

Unexpectedly, in the past six months, there have been deaths again, and the tragic appearance of the deceased is exactly the same as that of Peony Girl, who was dismembered by several townspeople before she was burned!
"My son, what's the matter with you?"

After several inquiries, Shi Xiaole found a large courtyard, and a strong man opened the door.

"Brother, do you know if Darendale is here?"

Shi Xiaole smiled gently.

Dai Lun was Lizheng in Peony Town 20 years ago, and one of the masterminds who burned the Peony Girl to death.

The burly man looked at Shi Xiaole, saw that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle face, said "wait a minute", then closed the door, opened it again about a quarter of an hour later, and brought Shi Xiaole inside.

In the yard, an old man was sitting on a stone chair, his cloudy eyes were shining with a sharp light, and he asked, "Is the young man also here to kill the pests in Peony Town?"

Dai Lun has met many people from the world, and some young heroes are dressed like Shi Xiaole.

"Why did the old man teach me?"

"There are no ghosts in this world, let alone that woman deserves to die! The old man guesses that some people must be playing tricks on purpose to create panic."

"Can the old man tell you all the things of the past, so that I can prescribe the right medicine for you?"

After finishing speaking, Shi Xiaole tapped lightly, and a finger hole suddenly appeared on the wall ten feet away.

Daeron's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the past six months, many martial arts masters approached him for information, but none of them possessed Shi Xiaole's terrifying ability.

It's normal to think about it. Although Xuanwu Prefecture has more Dragon Pass Realm masters than other places in Shuncheon, Xuanwu Prefecture itself has a vast territory, which is larger than the eight prefectures combined. visible.

Let alone a small place like Peony Town, the news is not smooth, and even fewer people know about it.

"Back then, that woman was the most beautiful person in the town, but for some reason, she suddenly turned into a monster one day, with long hairs all over her body, sharp teeth, and a strange smell all over her body, and even her skin was glowing with green oil. People just bite."

Thinking of some secrets from the past, Dai Lun's wrinkled old face, Youzi said with panic and anger: "The night market in Mudan Town was originally very prosperous, but because of that woman, every night, people were bitten and killed. hurt."

"In order to prevent the situation from spreading, the old man had no choice but to discuss with some local people, and secretly arrested this woman and wiped her out to reassure the people."

Green hairy monster?

Shi Xiaole frowned slightly.

"But the old man never expected that not long after, a small half of those who had been bitten by the peony girl turned into monsters. As a last resort, the old man discussed with other people in secret, and secretly killed those people. But because There are a lot of people, so we didn't announce it, only that they disappeared mysteriously."

Shi Xiaole asked: "Earlier, the old man said that someone was playing tricks, so could it be that you have someone to suspect?"

Dai Lun glanced at Shi Xiaole, with unconcealable horror: "Among all the people who turned into monsters back then, one escaped from the trap and was not killed!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Shi Xiaole left the compound and came straight to a manor covered with white cloth.

The owner of the manor is a squire from Peony Town, powerful and powerful, and one of the masterminds who killed Mudannv, but just a few days ago, this squire died at home and his neck was bitten off by a man.

Sneaking into the place where the coffin was placed, Shi Xiaole released his mental power, and soon after, in a corner, he found a few shedding green hairs. When he sniffed it carefully, it smelled like burnt plastic.

"Could it be that there are really monsters in this world?"

Shi Xiaole didn't think that Dai Lun was lying to her, but what could turn a person into a green-haired monster in the other party's mouth, could it be...

Thinking of a possibility, Shi Xiaole secretly clenched the green hair in his hands, and quietly left the manor.

In the next few days, he walked in the streets and alleys of Mudan Town, and sometimes went to Mudan Mountain, and even went to the place where the Mudan girl was burned to death in the past.

There are piles of weeds, and you can find poisonous snakes circling after a few steps, it is abnormally cold and desolate.A few times, Shi Xiaole seemed to hear strange cries in the distance, but when he looked closer, he found nothing.

And at night, Shi Xiaole will hide near Dai Lun's house.

Since the only survivor came here for revenge, he would definitely kill the biggest mastermind——Lizheng Daelen.

this night.

Shi Xiaole hid himself as usual, but suddenly moved his nose and smelled a faint smell of burnt plastic.

Whoosh!
Fengshen's legs were cast, and he was like a shadow in the dark night, quickly darting towards the place where the smell came from.

At the same time, an invisible monster with green hair all over his body was jumping into the yard, rushing towards the room where Daelen was, with a hideous expression on his face.

laugh!
A sword glow lit up in the night sky, striking the green-haired monster.

Amid the flying sparks, the green-haired monster smashed the courtyard door behind it, and knocked out a big hole in the street wall. When it climbed up again, its eyes were green and it opened its mouth to pounce on Shi Xiaole.

A green light flashed in the void.

The speed of the green-haired monster was very fast, almost catching up with the ninth-level masters of the Lingguan Realm. No wonder many quacks came and died innocently.

A thirteenth style of breeze pierced out, and the green-haired monster flew back again.

But to Shi Xiaole's surprise, he used a sword with [-]% power, but actually only cut a three-inch deep dent on the green-haired monster, and no blood flowed out.

"The monster, it really is him, it really is him."

The movement here woke up Daeron and his son who had been on guard. Daeron stood at the door with the support of his son, with a look of fear on his face: "Twenty years ago, his strength and speed were only a little stronger than ordinary people, far away from him." Not as good as it is now."

Roar!
Roaring up to the sky, the speed of the green-haired monster increased sharply again, shooting towards Shi Xiaole like a rocket launcher, its sharp teeth were as sharp as knives.

Raising his right arm high, he slashed hard. This time Shi Xiaole used [-]% of his strength, and the sword light was like a blue crescent moon, polishing the darkness in the courtyard.

A puff of green and reddish strange blood spilled out.

The green-haired monster kept yelling, and suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of green gas with the smell of diesel.

Before the attack arrived, Shi Xiaole could clearly feel that the blood and bones all over his body were trembling, as if something was about to change.Fortunately, this force is not strong, and it was directly shattered by the phaseless qi.

"what……"

There was a scream behind him. Daeron's face turned green, his claws and teeth grew longer, and he began to transform into a green-haired monster. After a blink of an eye, his whole body trembled again, and he exploded into blood clots.

On the other hand, the son of Daeron, probably because of his strong body and the distance from the green gas, only turned blue and passed out on the ground.

After spraying a ball of green gas, the green-haired monster's energy was much weaker, and it turned around and ran out.

puff!
Shi Xiaole struck out with the third sword, this time directly leaving a deep and long bloodstain on the opponent's chest, even Sen Bai's stubble could be seen clearly.

The green hair gradually faded away, and the green haired monster began to regain its human form. It turned out to be a young man with a good face. He turned his head and said to Shi Xiaole: "You have a lot of skills, but you're working for a tiger."

"What do you mean?"

"Hahaha, do you think Daelen and those old fellows are good people? That day when Peony was arrested and restored to her original state, those bastards said they wanted to have a good time and raped her in turn! After that, they brutally dismembered her, but He secretly collected her blood and said he would take it back for research."

The young man vomited blood, mockingly: "Daeron must not have told you that a green-haired monster appeared in Peony Town hundreds of years ago, right? Hahaha, only the heirs of a few prominent families know that the green-haired monster It’s strange, but it seems to be able to live forever! As early as before my accident, those old men were conspiring and discussing, trying to use innocent people as experiments!"

Shi Xiaole's face changed again and again.

He had already learned from Dai Lun that the only survivor back then, the young man in front of him, was the son of a squire who was killed a few days ago.

In his capacity, it is very likely that he knows some inside information.

"I killed people, but the people I killed were all the ones who deserved to be killed, and the innocent were never implicated!"

The young man Wang Hengyi spoke seriously and stared at Shi Xiaole: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Dai Lun's son, he should know what those old men have done these years."

Shi Xiaole was about to speak, but suddenly backed away quickly.

In the night, a white light flashed.When it disappeared, there was no sign of Wang Heng in place.
