On the way to Ximaqiao, Lu Chen has walked I don't know how many times, it can be said that he is familiar with his chest, and even if he closes his eyes, he can probably grope his way there. Now that he had made up his mind, he began to walk in that direction.

Empty cities, deserted streets, and the occasional gust of wind blowing, also with a terrible chill. Along the way, the blood worms they encountered just now were like opening a lid, and after that, Lu Chen and Ah Tu encountered several attacks in a row on the way.

One of the waves that attacked them was also a blood worm, in addition, they were all kinds of strange-looking monster beasts, Lu Chen could clearly see that although these "roadblockers" still maintained the original shape of various demon beasts on the outside, but it was obvious that they were affected by some powerful external force, and became more and more violent and ferocious, especially for fresh flesh and blood, almost as soon as they found Lu Chen and Ah Tu, they immediately launched an attack.

Fortunately, although the combat power of these monsters is fierce and strong, Lu Chen and Ah Tu also have their own killer skills, and it is not particularly difficult to deal with them along the way. In particular, Lu Chen's black fire is particularly good in this kind of battle, and it seems that it is inherently capable of restraining these bloodthirsty monsters.

Merely...... One thing these bloodthirsty monsters have in common is that their eyes are almost all blood-red, similar to those of Atu. In the fierce battle, occasionally some bloodthirsty demon beasts will stop in amazement after seeing Ah Tu's eyes, as if they have seen their companions puzzled, but Ah Tu will often take this opportunity to unceremoniously pounce forward, or break the opponent's hands and feet, or bite the enemy's throat, without mercy.

Stopping and fighting all the way, Lu Chen found that the people in this huge city were gone, but it had become a world of such monsters. And as he gradually penetrated deeper into the fairy city, the bloodthirsty monsters he encountered along the way began to grow more and more, becoming more and more dense, as if the city had been completely occupied by them.

At least, though, it's not deserted anymore.

The howls of monsters and the splashing of blood, and even the wails of life and death, add a little cruel vitality to this dead city, and to put it simply, it seems to be a little lively.

After defeating four or five waves of monsters in a row, Lu Chen immediately decided to avoid it carefully. He took Ah Tu to hide his whereabouts, lurking in the shadows, and even burrowed directly into the houses on both sides of the road, breaking the walls from the rooftops, alleys, and even sneaking through two houses to sneak forward.

As a result, although they still occasionally encountered one or two monsters in the house, the number of encounters with enemies immediately dropped significantly.

On weekdays, they walked slowly for about half an hour to reach the Washing Horse Bridge, but today Lu Chen and Ah Tu walked for an hour, and then stepped on a tall building and saw the Washing Horse Bridge from a distance.

※※※

There was fog on that bridge.

Perhaps it was the reason why the sky was illuminated by the vision of the sea of blood, and the mist was a faint red, permeating the top and bottom of the Xima Bridge. It's just a strange and strange thing, this fog seems to only block the bridge deck and the road behind the bridge.

Lu Chen stared at the bridge, looking at the mist, his face was a little gloomy.

The fog looked familiar to him, much like the fog he had encountered in the Immortal City Cave. Coincidentally, it seems that the last time he also went to Bai Lian and encountered this kind of strange thing, so this time here in Ximaqiao, he was going to find Bai Lian and also encountered this dark red mist, is it really a coincidence?

Lu Chen didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in this world, and if he believed in these things as a shadow, it would be difficult for him to live for a long time. Just as he was contemplating and thinking, suddenly Ah Tu, who had been quiet beside him, suddenly raised his head, stared into the depths of the mist, and then let out a low roar.

It wasn't loud, but it was enough to alarm Lu Chen. Lu Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he frowned and looked at the bridge in the mist, only to see that the fog that originally looked peaceful suddenly moved slightly, and the speed of circulation was a little faster, and after a while, a shadow suddenly came out of the mist.

Because of the long distance, coupled with the fog, Lu Chen really couldn't see the appearance of the shadow clearly, even the outline was very blurry, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a human or a ghost or a demon beast, it was basically a black shadow.

Just as he was staring intently, about to wait for the thing in the mist to come out, the shadow in the mist suddenly stopped, and then a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the mist.

The whistling sound spread in all directions, and even caused some echoes in the empty streets, adding to the desolation and madness. Not long after, on the streets around the Saima Bridge, a large number of various monsters and monsters suddenly appeared, swarming from all directions, and then gathered under the Saima Bridge.

At that moment, Lu Chen almost felt as if he had seen a strange scene of a king's courtiers going to court. All the monsters were prostrate outside the mist, and when the howling stopped, five or six leaders came out of the group of monsters, who were obviously stronger and larger than the monsters around them, and then respectfully placed something on the edge of the mist, that is, by the Xima Bridge.

The shadows in the mist flickered faintly, and the bloodthirsty monsters around them suddenly lowered their heads a little, looking terrified to death. After a while, the fog spread, expanding outward for a few minutes, and then slowly retracted again.

In between, the things on the ground were gone.

All the bloodthirsty monsters around, including those demon beast leaders, breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone screamed loudly, sounding very vicious and terrifying, but after Lu Chen saw this scene from beginning to end, he always felt that these guys seemed to be not demonstrating, but venting their joy.

After screaming like this for a while, all the bloodthirsty monsters turned around and left, and in the blink of an eye, the birds and beasts scattered, and the original calm returned to the front of the Xima Bridge. The fog was faint, and the shadow in the fog was long gone, and I don't know where it went.

Lu Chen stared at that place for a long time, then let out a long breath of turbidity, looked back at Ah Tu, and was about to speak, but suddenly found that Ah Tu was already staring at him, with a pair of blood-red eyes, the gaze was very strange.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, and then asked Ah Tu, "What do you mean?"

Atu wagged his tail and nodded his head in the opposite direction.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly, scratched his head and said, "You guys are just doing it, just run, I ......."

His voice stopped abruptly halfway through, and then his face changed slightly, as if he had suddenly sensed something, and he was stunned and pondering. After a while, Lu Chen slowly paused in front of Ah Tu, stared at his red eyes, and said softly: "It's strange, why has the thought of escaping never flashed in my mind from the time I found out that everything was wrong here?"

"Why do I have to come here to save Bai Lian, instead of just turning around and leaving this immortal city, away from the danger here, is that what I should do?"
