Chapter 20: The Strange Black Robe
Although the flying boat is not big, it is extremely fast as a meteor, and it is a must-have for students to go out and travel.
The final assessment of the refining of the magic weapon of the primary department is to refine a flying boat.
The flying boat refined by Wen Caichen is relatively large in the academy, and it can carry more than a dozen people.
The eight people took turns urging, and a few days later, they came to the shore of the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is so vast that it is difficult to describe.
A group of eight people entered Haikou City on foot.
Haikou City is adjacent to the sea, convenient by land and water, and densely populated, and is an important city on the edge of the East China Sea.
In the deep sea, there are many powerful sea monsters, entrenched in groups in various seas, and from time to time they invade the coastal border, so the coastal cities are often heavily guarded.
This assessment task is to kill a mid-third-order Sea Demon Tiger.
Among the seven people, Wen Caichen's cultivation is the highest, and he is currently in the middle stage of the sevenfold Qi Gathering Realm, the middle stage of the Yechuan Qi Gathering Realm, and the remaining five people are only in the late stage of the fifth stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
After some discussion, the eight people divided into four groups, went to the crowded places to find out the news, and agreed to meet at the Haikou Inn before dark.
Han Mengrong and Lu Qingxue were assigned to a group, as the only girls in the team.
Everyone tacitly handed over the task of protecting Lu Qingxue to Han Mengrong.
Han Mengrong thought about it for a while, and then took Lu Qingxue to a big teahouse and sat by the window.
Lu Qingxue was alone with Han Mengrong for the first time, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
From time to time, he looked out the window and frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Han, didn't you go to find out the news? Why did you come here to drink tea?" ”
"The teahouse is a place where people from all over the world gather, and the three religions and nine streams are all in it, so we might as well sit and listen, and maybe we will have unexpected gains. ”
Han Mengrong took a sip of tea and smiled leisurely.
Lu Qingxue hummed softly, and looked out the window again.
At this time, the sea breeze is blowing, and a slightly salty and humid smell hits the face.
Lu Qingxue's hair was slightly raised, her delicate face was delicate and quiet, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, this feeling of quiet beauty made people unbearable to destroy.
The teahouse gradually became lively, and Han Mengrong first asked the little guy in the teahouse.
The little guy was at a loss, obviously unheard.
At this time, the sound of high-pitched talk was endless, and all kinds of gossip continued to fly into his ears.
After listening to it for nearly two hours, although there was no news of the Sea Demon Tiger, I learned a lot about the customs and customs.
Unexpectedly, I found that Lu Qingxue had been quietly looking out of the window, and her quiet face could not see joy and anger, as if there was infinitely good scenery outside, but there was nothing else outside the window except for the bustling flow of people.
Han Mengrong didn't care, maybe Lu Xuetong was born like this.
Looking at Lu Qingxue, who was as quiet as water in front of her, Han Mengrong couldn't help but think of another quiet girl.
It's so quiet that it's heart-wrenching.
In the end, he couldn't help but speak: "Senior Sister Lu, isn't your neck sore?"
"Huh?" Lu Qingxue turned back suspiciously, but saw Han Mengrong looking at her with a smile.
reacted immediately, only felt that his cheeks were hot, and hurriedly said softly: "I have been indifferent by nature since I was a child, I only know how to cultivate, and I am not good at talking, so please don't blame Senior Brother Han." ”
"It's okay, Senior Sister Lu, don't mind if I just said it casually. ”
Han Mengrong smiled, and then said: "I think it's going to be dark today, so let's find out here first, let's go to the Haikou Inn to meet Wen Caichen and them first." ”
When the two arrived at the inn, Wen Caichen and the four of them were already waiting at the door, but they didn't see Yechuan and Du Mingzhe.
"Yechuan and the others went to the villages outside the city to investigate, but they estimated that they were coming back soon. Wen Caichen opened his mouth to explain.
The six waited for a while before seeing the two hurrying back.
At this time, Wen Caichen had already booked a large guest room, and it would not be crowded for eight people to stay at the same time.
Everything is simple when you go out, everyone is a cultivator, and there are not too many taboos.
After dinner, the eight of them exchanged information, but they didn't gain anything.
Anyway, there are still almost two months to go, and everyone is not in a hurry.
In the end, Yachuan suddenly said that the people in the western village were a little strange and felt a little eerie.
"Why don't you go and see it tonight?"
The seven of them glanced at each other and looked at Lu Qingxue in unison.
"If everybody agrees, I'm fine. ”
At this time, Lu Qingxue's expression was calm, and there was nothing abnormal.
After everyone had decided on it, they each meditated and cultivated.
In the dead of night, eight black shadows leaped out of the Haikou Inn and headed straight west!
At this time, the sea breeze is blowing, and there is no moonlight in the dark night, only starlight.
In addition to the sound of waves crashing on the shore in the air, there was also a faint roar of sea monsters in the deep sea.
The eight of them hurried away, and an hour later they came to the village in the mouth of the night river.
The eight of them paused, realizing that the village was unusually silent, and they faintly felt an air of dead silence.
Han Mengrong made a gesture, and everyone bent down and slowly approached the village.
"Quack, quack.." Suddenly, there was a strange cry in the air.
A dark shadow flew down from the sky and came to rest on a lone pole in the middle of the village.
In the dark night, with a little starlight, eight people saw a figure.
Slowly walking out of the night, standing in the open space in the middle of the village, his mouth constantly emitting strange syllables.
At this time, a succession of figures appeared in the village, and they came to the black-robed man like a walking corpse.
Among them are not only adult men, but also the elderly, children and women.
Everyone's eyes were hollow, as if they had lost their souls, and they were crawling around the black-robed man, and the scene was very weird.
A burst of coldness came, and suddenly someone grabbed his arm tightly, and when he looked back, it was Lu Qingxue.
At this time, Lu Qingxue's face turned pale and she bit her lip tightly, obviously frightened by the scene in front of her.
The syllables in the black-robed mouth became more and more weird, and a black mist suddenly rose on his body, and countless terrible cries came out from the black mist, instantly rushing towards the surrounding villagers.
After the villagers screamed, they were silent.
The black shadow on the lone pole flapped its wings and constantly hovered over the black-robed man.
The rattling sound in the night sky became even more eerie.
There was a soft "pop"!
The black-robed man suddenly let out a sinister laugh and turned to look at the hiding place of the eight people!
"Array!" Han Mengrong was suddenly shocked in his heart, knowing that he could no longer hide.
Eight people flew up at the same time to surround the black-robed people, setting up a formation of eight desolations in all seas!
"The demon dares to kill living beings, tonight we will avenge the innocent villagers who died in vain!"
The black-robed man looked at the eight people and laughed, and said disdainfully: "The Eight Desolate Formations of the Four Seas? Just rely on a few of you yellow-haired children from Sanjiang Academy, you dare to come to die without your own strength! Let me collect some interest tonight!"
