It was dawn.

Mengli was woken up by a loud noise.

Mo Wen quickly got out of bed when he heard the sound, walked quickly to the door, and raised his hand to open the door.

Lazily propping herself up, Mengli rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the curtain, "What's the matter?"

Lingmu at the door just greeted him, bowed and saluted, "Master, madam, it seems that something happened to the City Lord's Mansion next to me." ”

Lingmu looked at the two of them who were disheveled, and tsk, Mo Gongzi really had bad intentions.

However, since the master likes him, she reluctantly accepts it.

Robbing or something, as long as it's not too much, she can bear it!

When Mengli heard this, she instantly woke up most of her sleepiness, didn't she?

Mo asked, "Do you want to go and see?"

"Go. ”

The two changed their clothes and quietly swept to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion was already in chaos, and the people were frightened one by one, and they were running in a hurry.

The two avoided the crowd and landed on the roof of the main house of the City Lord's Mansion.

I saw that there were only a few people left in the courtyard in front of the house.

One of the Mengli acquaintances, Jianmei Xingmu, is the groom official and the young city lord the day before yesterday.

There was a woman standing beside the young city lord, her face timid, trembling slightly.

Mengli couldn't help but be shocked, this woman was exactly the same as the soul in her Soul Devouring Bead, and ...... No demonic spirit?

That soul clearly said that she was killed by a demon, this woman is not a demon?

Or is it ......

However, Mengli couldn't think any more, because she saw a person lying on the ground.

Because a woman had been sitting on the ground and holding a person crying, her body just blocked her vision, so she couldn't see clearly.

The woman was helped up by the young city lord, and Mengli couldn't help but gasp.

Lying on the ground was a dried corpse.

The young city lord helped up the city lord's wife and comforted him softly: "Mother, don't cry, you are not in good health, your father is gone, you can't have any more accidents." ”

The city lord's wife covered her face with her hands and couldn't cry, "How can this be...... I thought that this time, the master's illness might have taken a turn for the better, but it didn't come to fruition, but it killed him...... That's how I live. ”

The young lady couldn't hide her grief in her eyes, and she also echoed on the side: "Mother's Day mourning, what if you also cry and hurt your body......

"Master, master......"

I saw that the city lord's wife broke off crying, rolled her eyes, and fell crookedly on her son.

The young city lord hurriedly caught it, picked it up horizontally, turned his head and said, "Liang Wu, you stay to take care of your mother, and I'll go nearby to check if there is any trace of the silver snake." ”

Liang Wu nodded, "Okay, you be careful." ”

"Well, rest assured. ”

The young city lord temporarily placed his mother in the ear room on one side, and placed his father in the main room, and ordered his subordinates to take care of it, and left the courtyard.

In this way, except for the people guarding the door, only the old city lord who has turned into a dried corpse is left in the main room.

The window opened slightly, and two figures jumped in.

Mengli and Mo Wen approached the bed lightly.

Although he was already mentally prepared, looking at it so closely still made Mengli stunned.

The whole corpse was covered with skin and bones, and it was no longer possible to see its original appearance at all, but the essence and blood of the whole body had been sucked dry.

Mo Wen raised his hand and turned the corpse's head, and the four pitch-black holes on the right side of his neck were impressive.

Mo Wen frowned, demon?

Mengli naturally saw it, and thought of what the young city lord said when he left.

Is it really the krait?

Footsteps were heard at the doorway.

"Open the door, my mother has just woken up and said that she wants to come with my father. ”

It's the voice of Liang Wu.

"Yes. ”

Mengli and Mo Wen glanced at each other, left the house one after another, and closed the window.

......

The two returned to the mansion, and Lingmu and Biluo were waiting under the flower stand in the courtyard of the main house.

Seeing Mengli and Mo Wen falling in the courtyard, the two hurriedly stepped forward.

Lingmu: "Madam, what happened to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Something big happened, the city lord died. ”

Mengli groaned slightly, "Biluo, when the sky is bright, you go and inquire about the situation last night." ”

"Yes. ”

Bi Luo's jaw left neatly.

Seeing Lingmu and asking again, Mengli's eyes darkened, "Let's go to the house and talk." ”

The three of them sat around the table.

Mengli looked sideways at Mo who looked deep and asked, "What do you think?"

Mo Wen twisted his eyebrows, "Looking at the wound, it seems that the essence blood has been sucked dry by the monster." The wound was jet-black and apparently highly toxic. There are no traces of damage and struggle in the clothes of the corpse, which means that this person was instantly drained before he had time to react, indicating that this demon sucks blood very quickly, and it should not be a low demon level. ”

Mo Wen turned his head to look at Mengli, "You should know more about demons than me, what do you think?"

Lingmu's eyes widened instantly, and he raised his hand to Mo and asked, "You, you, ......?"

turned to look at Mengli in disbelief, "Master, did you tell him?"

Mengli nodded, "Hmm." ”

Lingmu withdrew his hand, looking at Mo Wen's eyes constantly changing, is the master really in love with this man?

Mengli skimmed to Lingmu, "The city lord is now a dried corpse, can he still save it?"

Lingmu came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, the essence and blood are gone, even if he is resurrected, he will die immediately." ”

Mo Wen was stunned when he heard this, Lingmu has the ability to bring people back to life?

Mengli took a deep breath, looked at Mo and asked, "It's a snake demon, a silver-ringed poisonous snake." ”

Mo asked, "How did you find out?"

Mengli briefly said the events of the evening, and continued: "It's just that I miscalculated, I think that since the silver krait snake attacked the medicine collector with its body, it must be a snake that has not yet turned into a demon, and it will not hurt people's lives, so I didn't care." ”

"But I don't want to, this silver-ringed poisonous snake has turned into a demon, and it is very likely that it deliberately entered the city through the hands of the medicine pickers. ”

"When we first arrived here, we didn't know what the city lord had experienced, and the snake demon chose him as the target of sucking, was it a coincidence or deliberate?"

Mengli bit her lower lip in annoyance, she should have gone to see it yesterday.

Mo Wen looked at Mengli with a look of annoyance, and said softly: "Don't bite, if you bite again, it will bleed." ”

Mo asked: "Since we can be sure that the silver snake demon has harmed people, we will arrest it back." ”

It's just that he originally wanted to stay for only two days, but I'm afraid it won't work.

Mengli raised her eyes and smiled, "Okay." ”

Lingmu watched the interaction between the two, pouted, and slipped out.

......

It's dawn.

Biluo sent the latest news.

Yesterday evening, the lord of the city accepted the silver krait from the herb picker and rewarded him with a lot of silver.

The city lord saw that it was getting late, and he was afraid that it would not be appropriate to go to the medicine master now, so he ordered his subordinates to lock the snake in the iron cage in the kitchen.

The snake didn't know what to do, but it escaped in the night.

Then, I climbed into the main bedroom of the castle in the main room in the backyard.

When the lord and his wife heard the hissing, they sat up, and when they opened their tents, they saw the snake standing tall in front of them.
