Outside Xiadu City, four figures in hooded black robes gathered outside Zhangwan Village.

This village has been slaughtered by ghosts, and now it has completely degenerated into a deserted village with no people.

Standing at the entrance of the village, one of the shadows spoke slowly, his voice hoarse with a strange echo.

"A wolf waits, a jackal waits. The other four are all dogs, etc. ”

"One went down, and there were actually six hidden soldiers guarding it. Another dark shadow said.

"No matter how many hidden soldiers he has, Lord Yakumu has already taken action personally, and now the entire Xiadu has been paralyzed, and this ritual must be successful.

This is the key to the reactivation of my Silver Sect's prestige!"

Taking a step forward, the tallest black shadow slowly turned its head, as if scanning the deserted village in front of him.

"Let's get ready. ”

"Yes!" replied, and the other black shadows immediately walked quickly into the deserted village and began to arrange what they called the ritual......

......

Xiadu Town guards the yamen

Xiang Yuan took a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, his face was a little sickly pale, and his lower abdomen was constantly aching, just carrying a charcoal on his stomach.

"It's okay. ”

Sun Deyi stretched out his hand and handed Xiang Yuan a piece of white potato.

Now that the entire poisoned water source is polluted, it is necessary to rely on these raw fruits for replenishment of water and satiety.

"Hold on. Taking a bite of the sweet potato, Xiang Yuan nodded, he had a recovery ring in his hand, and the toxins in his body were contained.

It's just that the lower abdomen has always had a hot burning sensation, and it is a little boiling after a long time.

"Fortunately, this ghost poison will not cause death, otherwise the whole Xiadu would have become a dead city by now. Sitting next to Xiang Yuan, Sun Deyi rubbed the beard on his chin with some irritability.

After a full day of observation, he found that this seemingly violent ghost poison that can incapacitate people due to pain in a short period of time does not cause death.

At best, it becomes very weak.

"What to do now, even if poisoning won't kill you, if you continue like this, starvation will starve people to death. "The poisoned person is covered in blisters, the pain is unbearable, and he is so weak that he can't even swallow anything, and after a long time, there will definitely be more problems.

"Wait, I've already reported the situation with a falcon.

We are not capable of resolving incidents of this magnitude. Sun Deyi shook his head.

"By the way, what's going on with the Silver Sect you talked about before?", nodded, remembered the Silver Sect that Sun Deyi and Zhang Tianxue talked about, and asked Xiang Yuan.

"A cult that worships the power of the Yin Ghost and believes that they can use the power of the Yin Ghost to make their life eternal.

In order to walk better, they took the homonym of worship yin and called themselves the Silver Sect.

This cult has a great ability to deceive people's minds, and 60 years ago, it set off quite a storm.

It's just that somehow this Silver Sect suddenly disappeared, and I never heard from it again.

It was only in the last decade that there were signs of activity again. Pulling out the cigarette stick pinned to his waist, Sun Deyi just wanted to light the fire, but when he thought that the water source was polluted now, and he couldn't drink water after smoking, he plugged the cigarette stick back in a stupid way.

"Worship yin ghosts, why do you want to poison people? There are so many yin ghosts over there in Wancheng, why don't they go. Xiang Yuan said suspiciously.

Shaking his head, Sun Deyi said: "Although the Silver Sect claims to worship the power of Yin Ghosts, it is actually only intended to achieve various purposes through the power of Yin Ghosts.

They use the power of yin ghosts, all through various sacrificial rituals, to sacrifice in exchange.

The Yin ghosts sacrificed have specific objects, and the Yin ghosts on the Wancheng side do not conform to their rituals.

And the best material for this sacrificial ritual is the human beings that the Yin ghosts love the most. ”

"You're saying that they poisoned it to sacrifice the common people in the city to complete some kind of sacrificial ritual. With a frown, Xiang Yuan secretly thought in his heart, it seems that no matter what world it is, the human heart is the most sinister thing.

"As it stands, yes. Standing up on his knees, Sun Deyi turned his head to look at the three wounded lying in the lobby and Zhang Tianxue, who was resting on a chair and frowning.

"Tianxue, they are basically unable to fight, if the Silver Sect really enters the city, they can only rely on you and me. ”

"The people of the Silver Sect all use the power of Yin Ghosts, so what should be their combat power?" Although he has martial arts and equipment in hand, Xiang Yuan is still very vigilant in the face of unfamiliar existence.

"It's hard to say, the power of the Yin Ghost is weird and changeable, but if it's a head-on fight, it shouldn't be our opponent. Sun Deyi said.

Pouting, Xiang Yuan rubbed his stomach: "So, you can only take one step at a time?"

"yes. ”

Sipping on the empty cigarette pouch pot, Sun Deyi nodded.

......

Night

The gates of Xiadu City were closed, and there was not a single figure in the street, except for a few faint lanterns emitting faint lights.

Even the shops on the street are locked with their doors, like a hard wall!

In a private house in the streets and alleys, men, women and children covered in blisters were lying on their beds weak and painful, and their moaning voices became very weak because of the prolonged pain.

On the outside of the city wall, four black shadows walked along the side of the wall, and every quarter of the distance, one person stopped.

When you return to the starting point after walking a lap, only the last dark shadow remains.

The wide hood obscured the entire face, and the black shadow looked up at the city wall more than ten meters in front of him, and then took out a hexagonal grass ring made of purple and red dead grass from his arms.

The palm of his hand was cut, and the viscous blood with a strange smell dripped onto the grass ring.

Muttering strange and awkward syllables, the Black Shadow used his own blood to stain the entire hexagonal grass ring with a layer of blood.

When the whole grass ring turned bright red, he dug a small pit at the base of the city wall and buried the hexagonal grass ring, which had been stained with his own blood.

As soon as the hexagonal grass ring touched the earth, many small writhing flesh buds suddenly grew on the edge, digging deep into the earth.

Covering the hole with dirt, the shadow stood up and waited quietly.

A short time later, the other three shadows also returned.

"It's all done. The leading black shadow said.

"Yes. The other shadows replied.

"When the spirit ring takes effect, we will enter the city and start the ritual. Turning his head to look at the smallest black shadow:

"Goussi, after entering the city, you first go to the town guard yamen to have a look, if those hidden soldiers are not poisoned, you are responsible for entanglement them.

Remember, don't fight them.

Once those hidden soldiers are demonized, their combat power will increase by at least ten times.

You're new to the church and have no experience with those guys.

This is important to keep in mind. ”

"Got it. The little man nodded in response.

After explaining their respective tasks to the subordinates beside him, the bodies of the four black shadows began to become lighter and lighter, and they actually began to float.

Strangely freed from the influence of gravity, the black shadow easily crossed the city wall more than ten meters high and came to Xiadu City.

"Let's get moving!"

The leading black shadow gave an order, and the three people beside him quickly left in three directions, disappearing in an instant.

Cluck......

At the mouth of the alley, a virtual ghost leaned out of the alley on all fours, and his miserable white eyes looked at the black shadow.

At the same time, he also noticed the ghost, and the black shadow of the leader moved his lips slightly, and let out a strange whistle.

At the sound of this whistle, the ghost seemed to understand something, and slowly retreated back into the alley.

Obviously, these virtual ghosts who invaded Xiadu City were also done by these cultists!

A long inhalation sound came out from under the black cloth covering his head, and the leading black shadow stretched out his arms and raised his head slightly:

"Tonight, glory is about to return......

......

The town guards the yamen

Xiang Yuan and Sun Deyi reluctantly fed Song Ning and the three of them some liquid food made of vegetables and fruits.

Because the three of them took Chicken Blood Grass, the poisonous blisters on their bodies did not continue to spread, but they were still very weak and basically in a state of sleep.

Zhang Tianxue's condition is better, she can barely move, she can eat by herself, and her consciousness is quite clear.

"There are not many fruits and vegetables to eat, and no one has come out to sell vegetables now, so tomorrow I will go to the vegetable garden outside the city as soon as possible to see if I can get some vegetables back." ”

Seeing that there are not many fruits and vegetables left in the yamen, and now that the entire Xiadu has been poisoned by the Silver Sect, it is impossible for anyone to buy vegetables anymore.

Sun Deyi could only go out of the city to see if he could find some vegetables and fruits in the vegetable garden outside the city.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. ”

In response, Xiang Yuan shook off the mattress and spread it on the ground.

In order to facilitate the care of Song Ning and them, he and Sun Deyi simply slept in the ground of the hall and set up a bunk.

After a busy day, and his body was not very comfortable, as soon as he lay down, Xiang Yuan yawned, and after a while, he entered his dream.

After extinguishing the lights and candles, Sun Deyi glanced at Xiang Yuan, who had fallen asleep, tightened his clothes, and closed his eyes by leaning on the Taishi chair.

......

Inside the city

In Xiping Alley, the cultists shrouded in black robes brutally penetrated one house after another, and killed those who were weakened by ghost poison without emotion.

Then he took out a thumb-sized wooden nail with a black-green color and a strange symbol engraved on it, and inserted it into the center of the brow of the corpses.

People who have been poisoned by ghosts are weak, let alone resisting, and they can't even shout for help.

I could only watch as those black shadows broke into his home and easily took the lives of himself and his family.

In less than an hour, hundreds of families were killed by these black shadows, and strange wooden nails were inserted into the corpses.

At the same time as the other two black shadows were harvesting their lives, the little black shadow Hook Silk also touched the outside of the town guard yamen.

He took out a black-gray dried spider covered in fluff, hooked his fingers, and smeared the same strange smell of blood on the dry spider's body.

Creak!

Absorbing the blood of the hook silk, the dry spider came to life at once, and the dense eight eyes lit up with a faint green glow.
