Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

"It's open, it's finally open!"

As a closed stone door was opened, Zhou Yaya breathed a long sigh of relief and said again: "If it hadn't been for Li Daoxuan's blow just now, I really thought I was going to die on the guillotine."

Tanxiao, dressed in black, walked out of the darkness, folded his sleeves with his hands, and said with a smile: "Go to the grave with Brother Daoxuan. There is one thing you never have to worry about, and that is your safety."

"Okay, stop bragging. We've got the key, so let's go back first."

He got a door order key again, but there was no joy in Li Daoxuan's eyes, instead they became heavier.

Because just five days ago, he suddenly saw a line of text popping up on the panel while he was in the tomb.

[Evil spirits are suppressed in the Evil Suppression Tower. The greedy pig butcher will probably never know that the Hemu in the Yaoying River has begun to revive. 】

The river mother revived.

But it's far from being solved on my side. I have to wait until I get out... I'm afraid Shouwu City will be gone.

This is such a big business that he has worked so hard to build, and it will be gone if it goes away. Li Daoxuan still can't let it go.

In addition, there are Fang Jie, Zhou Xu, Bai Jun and others.

If Zhou Xu and Bai Jun see no hope, they will probably leave, but Fang Jie, the one who accepts death, will definitely not.

In order to avenge his dead sister, he would not hesitate to risk his life.

As for what Qiu Wuming said that he would take action... Li Daoxuan said that it would be good to just listen to this.

If he could really take the token out, it would be okay, but if he didn't go out for a long time, with his heroic temperament.

difficult.

It can only be said that it is difficult.

"By the way, Brother Daoxuan, there is only the last New Year's Eve level left. After New Year's Eve, the third level will be passed. By then, will you?"

Tanxiao seemed to notice some changes in Li Daoxuan's mood, so he asked aloud.

"Get out. I won't go to the fourth floor. I'll go out first after I get the things. You...then look at yours."

Zhou Yaya immediately understood what he meant, "Something happened in Hand Witch City?"

"Well, Hemu has recovered. I have to go back as soon as possible."

"Then I must be with you." Zhou Yaya expressed her position. She originally stayed in Li Daoxuan's domain. Now seeing Li Daoxuan going out, she naturally chose to follow him.

"Pindao is new here, so he has to contribute to Shouwu City no matter what."

Talking and laughing also shows what you mean.

"Row."

As Li Daoxuan spoke, a small khaki snake came out of his sleeve. After landing on the ground, it continued to grow in size. Soon, a huge python with a length of nearly thirty meters appeared in the mountains, crushing the trees to death. countless.

"gone."

Li Daoxuan jumped on the snake's head first, while Zhou Yaya and Tanxiao climbed on the snake's back. Soon, there was a snake path between the endless mountains.

……

At this time, Hand Witch City was already enveloped by a light curtain formed by a gathering of cyan streams of light.

The four members of Fang Jie still stood guard at the top of the city, looking at the Yaoying River filled with floating corpses with heavy expressions on their faces.

Zhu Ye, the only one who has had personal experience, said: "This is just the first step of pollution. The water from the Yaoying River will pour back into the city. Anyone in the city who comes into contact with this water will become evil spirits."

"The real pollution still has to wait for Hemu's territory."

Zhu Ye leaned on crutches with both hands and looked at the Yaoying River with the overwhelming smell of corpses. He continued: "At that time, there will be fog floating on the river, permeating both sides of the Yaoying River. Anyone covered by the fog will also be polluted. … Until then, it will truly cover the sky.”

Fang Jie crossed his arms across his chest, squinting his eyes slightly, as if looking through the endless void to the opposite side.

"Have you made contact with Shogun City?"

Zhou Xu nodded, "We have all been contacted. They will keep an eye on it. If there is any sign that it has spread to them, they will naturally take action. If not... we will be left to fend for ourselves."

"These are their exact words."

"Normal." Fang Nod nodded and said, "If something happens to their shogunate city, we will probably do the same."

Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his hand, breaking a pillar on the city wall, and cursed: "But it's so fucking fucked!"

Zhu Ye's mouth twitched when he saw this, "Be gentle, repairing also costs money."

"Don't worry, the master said before he left that if we really can't solve it, Qiu Wuming from Shenwu City will take action."

Without Li Daoxuan, Bai Jun lost his clingy attitude and became a little aloof.

The same goes for his speech at this time, with a lazy look and a casual posture, as if he doesn't care about anything.

"Let's go. Zhou Xu can just keep an eye on it. Let's go see those brats who have squeezed in first."

After Bai Jun finished speaking, he took one step forward and disappeared at the top of the city. As for the specific direction he went, no one knew.

After seeing her leave, Zhou Xu turned to look at Fang Jie and asked, "How strong is your master?"

"Then only she knows." After that, he added, "If Brother Li is here, Brother Li should also know."

Zhu Ye said with a smile: "Anyway, if the sky falls, you tall guys will hold it up, so I'll go down and take a look first."

After speaking, he walked to the stairs at the city gate in a few steps and left the city.

At this point, only Zhou Xu and Fang Jie were left on the city wall.

"I'll trouble you to keep an eye on this place. I'll go take a look too."

"No trouble." Zhou Xu said calmly.

Fang Jie turned around and came to the other side of the city wall, and then his shadow spilled into the city, within the range covered by his shadow.

Everything was clear, and he naturally saw that on the side of a canal connected to the Shadow River, there was a water ghost with a collapsed spine and its upper body dragging the ground. Wherever it passed, the ground Everything was corroded, leaving a long black line.

Seeing this, his shadow stood up, stomped it to pieces, and finally turned into a pair of red dancing shoes.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Jie was already at the side and put away his dancing shoes.

At the same time, his shadow returned to normal again, covering the entire canal.

The ditch was not big, only about two meters wide, but even so, it was originally a ditch for excreting wastewater. Now, coupled with the smell of corpses, it was already overpowering.

Originally, the ditch at the bottom of the water could still be seen, but now the water flow has turned gray-black.

Each hand was severed, and the remaining limbs were undulating in the water.

The ditch that was supposed to flow south and out of Shouwu City was now filled with river water, and the water flow also turned from south to north.

Fang Jie took two steps forward and stuck his head out.

Originally, there were only severed arms and legs floating in the water, but suddenly a floating corpse floated out, face up, and his eyes happened to meet Fang Jie's eyes.

The corners of its mouth turned up in a strange arc.

Seeing this, Fang Jie couldn't help but want to laugh. Even with the corners of his mouth raised, he knew that as long as his expression matched that of the ghost, he would also become a ghost.

After living in this secular world for a long time, he can easily understand these common rules.

But even though he knew it, he was still smiling.

It's just a Class C evil spirit, but he wants to hurt me, Fang Jie?

I'm afraid you don't know what evil spirits are!
One person and one ghost were both smiling. When their smiles reached an agreement, the setting sun woke up.

It stood up from the ground and stood beside the square section.

This is obviously his shadow, but it looks a little different, because this shadow looks very tall.

It reached out and pinched the ghost out of the water.

It grabbed the ghost's neck, glanced at it, and then stuffed it into its mouth.

No mouth was seen, but soon, the sound of "clicking, clicking" bones was heard.

It wasn't until the ghost was completely gone that Fang Jie patted the shadow on the shoulder and said, "After eating and drinking, it's time to get to work."

The voice just fell.

In an instant, his shadow enveloped the entire canal. Wherever it covered, the entire canal became pitch black, and the darkness seemed to liquefy and flow on the water.

When the darkness took shape, it quickly retreated, and Fang Jie's shadow returned to normal.

But what disappeared next was the supernatural power of the entire canal.

All the severed hands and limbs disappeared, and the entire water channel was restored to the time when it was not polluted before.

Fang Jie turned around and went elsewhere.

But after he left, bits and pieces of supernatural beings once again broke through the restrictions of the world and seeped into the city's water canals.

The restrictions set by Zhou Xu cannot resist the supernatural erosion of the Yaoying River. The only role it can play is to slow down the progress of its erosion.

On the other side, in the east of the city, Zhu Ye was walking leisurely on crutches.

"One, and another." The snake-headed crutch in his hand is like a roll call stick, one for each [funeral stick].

As for the snake-headed crutch in his hand, the more he used it, the more satisfied he became.

After all, no matter what, this snake-headed crutch has quite a history... This matter also involves his youth.

At that time, he was about 20 years old, and he was still an eighth-rate [pawn].

Once when I was wandering around the market of Witch City, I accidentally discovered a jar of extremely tacky and rich wine.

He thought it was a good thing, but when he bought it back, he found that the tacky and rich drink was not at all.

But the piece of oilcloth on top of the drink.

But the oilcloth was just oilcloth, there was nothing special about it, so he looked through the ancient books at home and finally tried a method of manifestation using vinegar.

Only after it manifested did he learn the secret of the oilcloth, which turned out to be a treasure map.

The final place recorded above is the tomb of an ancient grain-eater.

Then he went through many twists and turns and finally found the location of the tomb. After going down to the tomb and experiencing nine deaths, he finally reached the main tomb chamber and opened the coffin.

The corpse had long since decayed, and the only thing left was the snake-headed crutch.

He never mentioned this matter to his family, and no one even knew about the snake-headed crutch. It was not until he experienced the second tide and became a sixth-rate grain eater that he took it out.

For one's own use.

After beating again and again, every evil spirit was killed by his [mourning stick]. Wherever it passed, the evil spirit disappeared.

If these are not resolved early, they will be a help to Hemu when she wakes up in the future.

Solve it now and the pressure will be less when Hemu recovers.

The south of the city near the Yaoying River was also the place where evil spirits were most rampant, and the one who stayed here was the most powerful Bai Jun.

Although she was also moving her hands, it was just... that she couldn't see how she moved her hands.

All she knew was that wherever she passed, all evil spirits would turn into dust and fall to the ground.

Everything seems to reflect that sentence.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

The only person who saw this scene was Zhou Xu, who was in control of the situation at the top of the city. She had some guesses about Bai Jun's strength.

But now it seems that she can only describe it in four words.

"Unfathomable."

There was even an even more exaggerated idea in her mind. Maybe Bai Jun alone could solve the problem of the river mother in the Shadow River?
North of the city.

The remaining people in the city were also walking towards Kuyue Mountain in an orderly manner, and all the roadblocks along the way had been cleared by Shou Wu City.

Even at this moment, those low-level grain eaters and some lucky ones were escorting them along the way.

At the top of the city in the north, City God Hu Yue, dressed in a black-patterned gold python robe, suddenly appeared, and behind him, there were two men, an old man and a young man.

The old man has gray hair, is dressed in splendid clothes, and has calluses on his hands and feet, but he does look unruly at the moment.

On the contrary, that young man was obviously the most energetic at his age, but he did have a low eyebrow and a submissive look.

These two people are the two most powerful among the lucky ones who have awakened in Hand Witch City.

The old man's name is Meng Gang, and his awakened ability is called [Running Attack]. The general effect is that he can lock on the opponent from a distance, and then come to him in an instant. At the moment of contact, he can explode with huge energy and destroy the opponent. .

From the current point of view, the distance he can attack is only about half of the Witch City. Once successful, he can suppress a Class B evil spirit.

It's just that such an opportunity is extremely rare. First of all, there is not enough space for it to be used.

Secondly, since he was traveling such a long distance, he would only come two or three times a day at most.

But despite this, they are still far beyond ordinary people. Judging from the situation after the second tide, the one who can truly fight against the second-level evil spirits must be at least a sixth-rate grain eater.

Therefore, it is better to wake up once and for all.

The other young man is named Xu An, and his awakened ability is called [Disguise]. As long as he is given enough time, he can disguise himself as an evil spirit and possess the opponent's strength at the same time.

Fang Jie and the others have personally tested this.

A Class B evil spirit was captured for him. After spending an hour, he transformed himself into that evil spirit and was able to use the opponent's abilities without restriction.

But the consumption is also large.

After trying it, we learned that a Level C evil spirit can disguise itself for 12 hours, while a Level B evil spirit can only disguise itself for two hours. Even so, it is still an extremely rare ability.

As for the Class A evil spirit, I haven’t had a chance to try it, and the effect is naturally unknown.

"Let's go, let's go to the city head in the south to have a look." Hu Yue was calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.

When Meng Gang heard this, he also smiled ferociously and said, "Aren't they just a few evil spirits? Can you please, Lord City God, send me outside the city, and let me, an old man, kill them all without leaving any trace behind?"

"What about you?"

Hu Yue looked back at Xu An who didn't speak.

The latter noticed Lord Cheng Huang's gaze and hurriedly bowed slightly. With a decent smile on his face, he replied: "I feel that you should not be careless."

"Oh, you are so old at such a young age, I can't see any youthful vigor in you!" Meng Gang was very disdainful.

The two are both captains of the Lucky Team, so logically speaking, they should be equals.

Xu An didn't deserve Meng Gang's scolding, but despite it, he still smiled and nodded, "Captain Meng taught me a lesson."

Like a punch on cotton, Meng Gang was so angry that he lost his temper, cursed angrily, and turned away.

Regarding the fight between the two, Hu Yue did not comment. He looked down at the entire north of the city.

Different from the other directions, the north of the city is farthest from the south of the city, and few evil spirits have yet to come. After killing a few Class C evil spirits at will, he said: "Let's go, go to the south first and take a look."

Regarding the secular restrictions imposed by Zhou Xu, Huyue, as the city god, naturally has some authority.

He led these two lucky people from the north to the south of the city in one step.

The same is the city head.

When Zhou Xu saw Hu Yue coming, he just nodded lightly, "Hu Cheng Huang."

"Master Zhou."

They both seemed to be casual acquaintances and didn't say much. As for the two lucky ones, they came over and saluted honestly, "I've met Mr. Zhou."

"Ah."

Zhou Xu nodded and didn't say much.

Hu Yue came to the city wall, leaned on the railing and looked towards the river, "Everyone who comes in now is a Class C evil spirit. There shouldn't be a Class B evil spirit coming in yet, right?"

When talking about the business, Zhou Xu finally had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said: "Three Class B evil spirits have already arrived. I killed one of them, and the other two retreated when they couldn't get in."

"Then it is estimated that a Class A evil spirit will come to break the city soon."

When it comes to the Class A evil spirits, Hu Yue also becomes very cautious in his eyes. Even if he tried his best at this time, he could only stop a Class A evil spirit. If he wanted to truly deal with it, he still couldn't do it.

In today's Hand Witch City, the only one who can really solve the Class A evil spirits is Bai Jun.

Now maybe we can add another square section.

Therefore, the crisis will really come when the Class A evil spirit comes to break the city.

Meng Gang also came to the wall, looked down, and happened to see a two-headed giant ghost dripping from the outside of the city wall.

He added: "Two adults, let me go down and deal with this Grade B evil spirit."

Zhou Xu glanced at him, said nothing, and sent him directly to the city wall with a thought.

"scare!"

Without any preparation, he came directly outside, and Meng Gang was also shocked.

But at least he was someone who had experienced big scenes. He quickly reacted and his legs gradually became swollen, just when he was ready to take action.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that a tall water column suddenly shot out from the surface of the Yaoying River.

On the top of the water column, a bald ghost baby sat cross-legged, with strands of blood floating around it.

Meng Gang's eyes bulged as he was about to charge forward, "Mom, there's a Class A evil spirit!"

"Master Zhou, hold hands!"

Meng Gang, who was originally about to charge forward, jumped up, but fortunately, Zhou Xu didn't make it too difficult and directly pulled him within the restraint.

at the same time.

In Fangjie, Bai Jun and Zhu Ye's ears in the city, Zhou Xu's voice rang at the same time, "A Class A evil spirit has appeared."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them had been moved to the top of the city by Zhou Xu.

The back faces north and the front faces south. (End of chapter)
