It was a youkai that looked like a mouse, white and with eyes on its spine - I don't know what it could see. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Such a little thing looks pretty cute. But what about a thousand, ten thousand?

Hua Jiuxi knew that Luohantou was a kind of monster that absorbed mountain qi to grow, and if it was allowed to grow too fast, the creatures of the entire mountain would be affected. After it fell, its corpse attracted a large area of the creature in front of it. They swarmed onto the remains of the Arhat head, gnawing on its shell.

Hua Jiuxi was sitting on the belly of Luohan's head, quietly watching all this. It's as if the body of the head of the arhat is an island, surrounded by the sea of white demons, ups and downs, and occasionally a smashing wave splashes on you.

This is very unpleasant.

Laxmi swept away a demon that had fallen to her lap, and Hua Jiuxi asked playfully, "Don't observe?" ”

"It's over." Laxmi said solemnly, "This creature seems to be like moss, a low-level plant?" ”

"Yes, they are usually covered with rocks, but they don't live on water and sunlight. These little creatures, essentially like the Arhat heads, live by absorbing the life of the mountains. Hua Jiuxi explained, "Occasionally, there is a sudden occurrence such as the death of an arhat head, and they will use their snail-like gastropods to climb to the place where the mountain qi is released." ”

"But they're much faster than snails." Laxmi said with a smile.

"Well, they're the lowest level of characters. More and more ferocious youkai will devour them later. Hua Jiuxi said.

"Huh? Are we going to hunt again? Laxmi asked.

"Nope." Hua Jiuxi said, "When these little demons have digested all the shells of the arhat's head, revealing the most nutrient part of the tuber, we will take it - before the dangerous guy arrives." As he spoke, Luo Hantou's body shook.

It turned out that the little demons who had absorbed a large amount of mountain qi had expanded several times in both number and volume, and they rushed over in one fell swoop, actually shaking the huge body of the arhat's head. I saw that the torso of Luohan's head had shrunk to a quarter of its original size.

"Almost." Hua Jiuxi said, "We have also collected enough materials to fight off these miscellaneous people. ”

He was referring to the "Arrow City", which had not played a role before.

"Okay." Laxmi clapped his hands. I saw Hua Jiuxi pull the large and heavy machine up with great difficulty—it turned out that its bottom structure was a stretchable shelf, and it was obviously shaped like a small fort. He adjusted it a few times, and the direction was still freely turned.

"Isn't this thing going to have a lot of recoil? Like bounce people away at once or something? Laximimi asked worriedly, she had already made up for the situation where Hua Jiuxi slammed into her stomach, and then the two of them collapsed and were covered by the demons......

"Recoil?" Hua Jiuxi was puzzled for a while: "It seems that there is basically no such problem......

"Because the specific problem is more complicated to explain, I won't explain it yet. You see, the monsters have attacked! ”

If so, it was only ten minutes. Many of the previous white demons have grown to the size of puppies, and with them are other low-level mountain monsters with strange shapes, walking or flying, all of them smelling fishy movements. This pile, cluster after cluster, makes people look sick for a while.

Hua Jiuxi opened the city gate, still with that fierce and vicious face, driving the crank, and hearing the sound of "da-da-da", the density of the arrows was as black as smoke and dust. Countless little demons met them, and they were beaten into flesh and blood in an instant.

Wherever Hua Jiuxi, the plague god, pointed, a burst of blood mist rose in vain. After a while, there was already a small red circle in front of him, and the circle was full of red, blue, and green monster blood, and the rest of the monsters were all broken when they saw it, how dare they step forward?

That's a chance to pack up the tubers.

"Alright, let's go." Hua Jiuxi said, pointing to the air as he spoke.

Laxmi understood and shook the ring. The big beetle immediately fell, and the two sat down shoulder to shoulder, and the stump of the arhat's head was held by the beetle's big hand, like a thunderclap, flying into the void.

Malu Station is a small freight station hidden in the mountain forest farm, because the traffic volume is not large, usually not very popular. On this day, a group of four people came to the east, men, women, old and young.

Before setting off this time, Hua Jiuxi and his party ate hard in a small town and prepared some clothes for the four seasons.

"Why everything from leather jackets to shirts?" Laxmi asked, puzzled, "It's winter now, why don't you just prepare warm clothes for the winter?" ”

"Kid, look at this map." The Worm Son took out a map from a mahogany box with great treasure, and Laxmi touched it, and it was the skin of an unknown animal.

Just looking at the topography and place names marked on it, which are very different from those of southwest China, he said, "Is this a map of the Demon Realm?" ”

"Clever." The Son of Worm Tianzi said, "Between heaven and earth, there are places where human beings live, and there are only a few. In the past, there were often cases of children going missing, and it wasn't deceived by Hanako's kidnappers - but carelessly, stepping on the entrance of the Demon Realm. ”

"This, it seems that the island people say 'Shenyin'." Laxmi said, "Are these realms underground or in some other dimension?" She couldn't contain her curiosity.

The insect Tianzi couldn't explain, only laughed. Huajiuxi on one side walked around, observing the surrounding environment:

A small shack, a track on the ground. There was nothing man-made other than that, and the forces of nature were everywhere—the grass that grew on the hut was undefeated.

"That shack seems to be the conductor's house." Hua Jiuxi said.

"Conductor? It's not that this car is pulling goods, autonomous. What kind of cabin crew do you need? Leech said.

"The goods have to be guarded by someone, in case of a robbery?" Hua Jiuxi explained, "And the release of demons who commit crimes elsewhere through secret passages is part of Shaoguang City's gray income." The conductor is actually mainly doing this......" His voice became thinner and thinner in the second half of his sentence.

Leeches look like they "get it".

"Little Flower - the car is coming!" Hua Jiuxi heard the senior brother shouting loudly there, and responded impatiently. I saw that the "car" was coming along the railway with a large amount of steam on its side.

"Original...... Be...... Snail? "Laxmi was a little hard to accept.

The main body of this "train" is a magnified slug with a slicky body, and its gastropod part is also like a snail's thick cortex, nested on the railroad tracks. The steam came out of its four tentacles.

"This thing was in service thousands of years before the invention of the steam locomotive." Hua Jiuxi looked at the train timetable again, "Don't look down on it." ”

The train stopped, and several people came to the side, and saw that the carriage was the hard shell protruding from the back of the creature, but it was transformed to resemble a modern train.

The leech tried to climb up the outer wall of the train, and Hua Jiuxi said, "I can't imagine that you still have the unique ability of gecko swimming on the wall?" ”

Leech freed up one hand and motioned for the three of them to look. It turned out that he used the mouth in the palm of his hand to absorb it to the body of the car, and everyone caused a lot of discussion, but after a long time, the conductor did not appear. The insect Tianzi said: "It's three poles on this day, and I said that the train would leave at noon, but where did the person die?" ”

"Senior brother, don't shout, if you provoke others, I may not let you get in the car." Hua Jiuxi persuaded him and said, "Let's go to that hut and have a look!" ”

The shack where the conductor lived was not far away, and when several people came to the house, there was no sign of the doors and windows being locked. Laxmi was pushed out and asked, and she said softly, "Is there anyone?" The voice seems to be more pleasant than a few days ago, if you change to the old man of the worm Tianzi, I am afraid that no one will answer.

"Is anyone there? We are the passengers of this train! Laxmi raised her voice.

If it is three or five times, even if there are people in the house, it is also a deaf person. The insect Tianzi touched his chin: "Isn't there something weird!" With that, he strode up and pushed the narrow door open.

"It hasn't gotten up yet." The leech followed the insect into the house, and saw a large bed in the room, on which several figures were lying, as if they were sleeping very sweetly.

"Dead." Worm Tianzi said, "In fact, there is no life outside the house." ”

Hearing this, the three young men were shocked and frightened. Busy around the only elder to rummage through the three corpses.

Fortunately, after lifting the quilt, there were no decomposing bodies, but ordinary three adult men. Leech asked, "These people are monsters, how can they still maintain their human form even after they die?" ”

Hua Jiuxi Tongworm Tianzi replied while putting on the gloves that he had taken out of nowhere: "High-level monsters can cultivate into real human form—there is no such thing as a monster like you. ”

Leech's face was red and white when he said it, and his mouth moved, but he couldn't refute it. Suddenly he felt a pair of arms resting on his shoulders from behind, and Laxmi was flattered by this action. She obviously meant to silence the boy for a moment, while the leech looked like she was embarrassed.

However, he said that the two brothers and sisters were completely different from the methods of ordinary forensic autopsy, and they only touched up and down, and they knew the result:

"These people were first instantly knocked unconscious by someone, and then drowned in warm water. This man's means are very high, there is no sign of struggle and fighting, there are no scars on the outside, and there is no venom in the body. I don't even know what technique he uses to hurt people......" said the Worm Tianzi, but he was amazed.

Hua Jiuxi nodded, and looked at the leech again.

Leech rolled his eyes: "I don't know anything - I don't have any connections, and I don't know how many killers are raised in that city." They are in one-line contact with their superiors. ”

Hua Jiuxi had expected that he wouldn't be able to do anything, so he said, "I want to ask you, what kind of monster do you think this murderer is?"

The leech said, "Where do you guess this?" He doesn't use poison, and he doesn't use physical skills to kill. Could it be that he is also a spell master? ”

Hua Jiuxi's face sank, if it was really as Leech said, the enemy would be extremely difficult to deal with.

"No, it won't." Insect Tianzi said, "Shaoguangcheng is known as the ancestral court of the demon clan, and it has always been difficult to deal with Taoist monks, and the exiles recruited by his subordinates are basically monsters. I guess this person is also some kind of mutated monster like a leech right now. ”

This statement is extremely reasonable, and everyone agrees with it for a while. Laxmi looked at the dead man, turned his head and said, "Then what was his purpose in killing these conductors?" ”

"Sometimes, many goals can be accomplished in one thing." Hua Jiuxi said, "For example, stop us from getting into the car, detain us here, and then kill us in one go." As he spoke, he made an exaggerated gesture of wiping his neck, but Laxmi was amused by him.

Hua Jiuxi was a little embarrassed, and said quickly: "At the same time, you can frame us." ”

"I don't understand!" Leech raised his hand and said, "Aren't we already an enemy of Shaoguang City?" What's the problem with killing a few of them? ”

"Tut-tut, kid after all." Hua Jiuxi said, "Who said that we are enemies of Shaoguang City? We are against one of the few black sheep. And killing their innocent staff members would be morally the first to lose, and to kill three organized ones at once would be almost a declaration of war. ”

The insect Tianzi said in his heart: This kid is really good at analysis.

"Oh." Leeches immediately understood.

"So what now?" Hua Jiuxi forgot who said this, he smiled bitterly, and just wanted to reply, "How do I know?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred to me.

"There are four conductors!" He said aloud.

"So there might be survivors?" Laxmi was also happy.

Hua Jiuxi walked around the hut a few times, squatted down from time to time to look, touched the floor again, and muttered, "I know where the last conductor is—I'll come when I go!" And he did not hesitate to be hindered by the people, and he ran away like arrows.

After waiting anxiously for about half an hour, the insect Tianzi had already boiled water to make tea, and he heard the sound of someone stepping on snow outside the house, obviously two people.

Laxmi had been standing since before, and the rest of the two were sitting on the bed of the dead. Hearing that Hua Jiuxi (not him, who else) came back, he immediately went to open the door.

Then she was scared.
