Chapter 537 Much scarier than the devil

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked in.

He walked straight to Jiang Youning and others, cupped his hands, and said with a neither humble nor arrogant look, "If the three adults are willing to spare my life, I am willing to help conceal the news of Zheng Dong's death."

"Why should we believe you?" Jiang Youning looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.

The middle-aged man raised his head and said, "What happened before was all Zheng Dong's personal doing and has nothing to do with us or the Ziyang Mansion. In addition, his behavior is tantamount to betraying the Ziyang Mansion. Naturally, our Ziyang Mansion will not do it for someone." Traitors and waste of manpower and material resources.”

"What you said, if it weren't for the clothes, I feel like you are more like a city lord than Zheng Dong." Luo Mian looked at the man and raised his eyebrows.

"My name is Xu Hui. I was originally the deputy city lord of the Giant Tiger City. It was only because of Zheng Dong's suppression that I became what I am now. I can only serve as a small housekeeper in the city lord's palace."

In fact, Jiang Youning and the others were able to help him get rid of Zheng Dong, who had been suppressing him. Xu Hui was grateful to the three of them, so he was willing to sell them a favor.

Moreover, Xu Hui is not as blind as Zheng Dong. He clearly knows that the three people in front of him are definitely not the things in the pool.

Facing such a person, if you are not sure of killing him with one strike, it is best not to offend him.

In addition, although he is only the deputy city lord and was suppressed by Zheng Dong into a small butler, in fact, he has been secretly developing his own forces over the years, but in order to avoid being noticed, these forces are not in Giant Tiger City. .

Because of this, he learned a lot of secret information.

In the end, Jiang Youning and the others chose to believe Xu Hui's words, not because they believed in Xu Hui's character, but because they understood that since he dared to go out openly, he must have a backup plan.

Of course they can kill Xu Hui, but this will not do them any good.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Qi Linran said.

After receiving the promise, a smile appeared on Xu Hui's face, and then he changed the subject and said, "However, I can only guarantee a delay of half a month. Zheng Dong is the lord of the city after all..."

Xu Hui noticed that the eyes of Jiang Youning and the others were gradually becoming dangerous, and quickly continued to explain, "However, within this half month, I will prove to the superiors that Zheng Dong is a traitor. By then, even if Ziyang Mansion knows The truth of the matter will not be investigated.”

"Are you sure?" Jiang Youning looked at Xu Hui with suspicious eyes.

After a long time, Jiang Youning slowly looked away, and a clear voice sounded above Xu Hui's head, "City Master Xu, I hope you will do what you say."

Hearing this, Xu Huiyou quietly raised his head in surprise, and met a pair of sharp eyes. Their calm eyes made him feel as if he had been seen through, and he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

After the three of them left Giant Tiger City, Luo Mian asked curiously, "Did you see anything when you were looking at Xu Hui just now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Youning shook her head, "I didn't see anything. I was just trying to scare him. It was because he had something in his heart that he felt guilty."

She was just imitating the way her brother looked at her when he asked her about the location of hidden snacks when she was little. Who knew this person had such a poor psychological quality.

Luo Mian, who didn't expect such a reason, asked again, "Then why did you call him City Lord Xu?"

"Isn't that what I said? He is the deputy city lord of Giant Tiger City, so it's not wrong for me to call him City Lord Xu." Jiang Youning said matter-of-factly.

What's more, now that the real city lord is dead, isn't it now the deputy city lord's turn to take over?

"I guess now Xu Hui thinks you have discovered something and has been frightened out of you." Qi Linran said with a smile.

Jiang Youning puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "How can I be so scary? I'm not a devil. I already said it was because of his own guilty conscience." "Yes, yes, you are right, it was because of his own guilty conscience." Qi Linran He quickly changed his words with a smile.

Luo Mian, on the other hand, had a strange expression and muttered in a low voice, "You are much scarier than the devil."

At the same time, on the other side of this ancient battlefield.

Ye Sisi, Qiu Yue, Gu Yuan, Shangguan Qingtian, Duanmu Yan and Ouyang Jing were running at full speed.

Behind them, the land continued to crack, and countless ugly pains exuding a corrupt atmosphere emerged from the ground.

These vines seemed to have eyes, and they kept pressing towards the people step by step.

Behind them, a giant tree without any leaves and only bare branches rose from the ground. Around it, there were countless vines waving. From a distance, they looked like squirming vines. black snake.

"Yes Sisi, haven't you cultivated the power of fire spirit? Hurry up and burn these vines." Gu Yuan said loudly.

Hearing this, Ye Sisi retorted while avoiding the attack of the vines, "You think I don't want to, I've already tried it, and the flames have no effect on them at all."

Seeing that the pains behind them were still chasing after them, and even in order to chase them, the tops of those pains actually grew eyes and teeth.

He looks like he won't give up until he eats them.

"No, why don't you try so hard?"

Complaints are complaints. Everyone who saw this scene quickened their pace. No one wanted to be left as fertilizer.

"If I see those two people who showed us the way again, I will cut their bodies into thousands of pieces, and then crush their bones and scatter them into ashes." Ye Sisi said viciously.

Yes, the reason why they ended up where they are now is because they were deliberately pointed in the wrong direction.

At this moment, a bottomless crack suddenly appeared in front of their escape path.

Everyone stopped and felt the vibration from the ground, and a bad premonition emerged in their hearts.

Sure enough, in the next second, a thick tree vine emerged from the ground.

Different from the black vines chasing them behind them, the tree vine in front of them is brown and covered with moist soil. It is said to be a vine, but more like a tree root.

What is horrifying is that there are many bones hanging on the root of this tree. Some have completely turned into white bones, while others are still stained with a little flesh and blood.

As tree roots appeared, more soil was brought out of the ground, and more bones were brought out at the same time.

These bones include those of monsters and humans.

It is no surprise that if Ye Sisi and others are caught, they will eventually end up with the same fate as these bones.

In front of them were the bottomless abyss cracks and tree roots that could eat people, and behind them was the black pain that was chasing after them. At this time, they were already in a dilemma.

At this time, there was another tremor under their feet, and then the entire ground began to collapse.
