Chapter 589: Siege
In an inn in the city, a figure in a night suit climbed directly into a room through the window, and quickly took off his clothes and mask, revealing an ordinary-looking man.
The man casually threw the night clothes he had taken off onto the bed, took out a narrow tube from his waist, opened one end, took out a roll of white paper from it, and unfolded it on the table, but without using a pen, he directly used his index finger to condense his soul power and write on it.
After writing, it was still blank, but he rolled it up directly, stuffed it into the tube, took it to the window, pushed it open, activated the soul mark on the surface, and as soon as he let go, the tube, which was no more than a finger's length, lit up with a ghostly light on the surface, swished, flew out, and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
…………
For the next three days, Song Jianqiu had been vigilant about whether there were still assassins, but he didn't think about it, and the three days had been calm and there was no movement.
But the more this is the case, the more it shows that the Burial Soul Tower will not give up easily, and it is very likely that next time it will no longer be this kind of temptation.
During this period, Zhu Xinnuo and others came to the inn to meet Song Jianqiu, although there was not much to deal with, but Zhu Xinnuo brought some news about the Soul Burial Building.
According to these news, the huge power of the Soul Burial Tower is shocking, and the other party is for money, except for some known and unrivaled people such as the Four Great Ghost Kings, the rest of the people, even if they are city lords, they dare to design sieges, and they are arrogant and boundless.
You know, who can become the lord of a city is not a person who has experienced a hundred battles and is strong? To say the least, it has to be the fifth soul vein realm of the Soul Refining Method, but even so, they have successfully killed a city lord!
And after the death of this city lord, the city they controlled was naturally swallowed up by the other surrounding cities.
From this, it can be seen that the hidden strength of the Soul Burial Tower is definitely much stronger than the part of the exposed surface, coupled with the mysterious anomaly, no one knows where their headquarters is, so they can always exist.
This person who created the Soul Burial Tower is really powerful, but if he does this kind of murderous business just for money, and has so many masters, it seems a little stupid, right? If it's that great, why not build a city?
After all, they have already killed the city lord, so it is possible to kill another city lord, occupy the city, and come to the front of the stage!
This is also where Zhu Xinnuo and others are puzzled.
Although it is not so simple to build a city and control a city, if the Soul Tower really wants to do this, no one will be indignant, after all, the underworld is a chaotic world, even if most cities are relatively peaceful now, but occasional disputes, in fact, there are still from time to time.
The leader of the Soul Burial Tower, who has established such a huge organization, is willing to lurk in the shadows, really can't understand this kind of thought.
"Perhaps, people just want to experience what it's like to be behind the scenes?" Song Jianqiu made such a guess.
Her response to the Soul Burial Tower, only soldiers to cover the water and earth, it is impossible to hide in the city because she is afraid that she will be ambushed, if she is so timid, then how can she go back to the sun?
So in the end, this matter was put aside for the time being, because there was no way to deal with it, and it was useless to say more.
On the third day, Zhu Xinnuo and the others said goodbye to their families again, got into the ghost bone carriage again, left Guangyuan City, and continued downstream along the Biquan River.
But this time, because they knew that there was a Burial Soul Tower, the group raised their vigilance.
It went on like this for a week, and the road was calm, whether it was sleeping in the wilderness, or staying in the mountains, or living in the villages and towns along the way, there were no twists and turns, and it almost made people suspect that the Soul Burial Tower had given up.
However, there is obviously no reason for this, since it is to collect money to kill people, there must be no reason to stop after a trial, it is very likely that the other party is brewing something!
In the afternoon, the group arrived at a small village as before.
This small village is basically no different from the small villages that the group has seen, they are all very small villages, with no more than 100 households in total.
After arriving here, the village chief was very enthusiastic about Song Jianqiu's group of strangers, and after inquiring, he found out that there were too many people who had rushed to the capital city recently, and there would be strangers coming into the village to spend the night.
In addition, these people are very generous, so they are naturally welcomed by the villagers.
“…… The small houses in this village are simple, I hope you don't mind! The village chief was smiling and full of enthusiasm, leading Song Jianqiu and others to a stone house, pushing open the door and leading a few people in.
There is no inn in the village, this stone house is obviously the villagers', and now in order to make money, let it go to people like Song Jianqiu and other people who are in a hurry to live, there is no danger, and they can make money, why not?
Entering the house, Zhu Xinnuo and the others automatically dispersed to check the situation in the house, and Song Jianqiu also stood in the hall, looking around at the environment here, although it was a little smaller, a little lower, but overall, it was still clean and tidy, and the furniture was all available.
Regarding the actions of Zhu Xinnuo and others, the village didn't care, probably seeing too much, just stood in place and asked Song Jianqiu: "How many days are you going to stay?" ”
"Let's rest for the day and leave tomorrow!" Song Jianqiu said.
"Oh? Stay a few more days? We have a beautiful view near here! The village is enthusiastic about retaining, the longer people live, the more money they spend, and he naturally hopes that Song Jianqiu and others will stay for a few more days.
"No need!" Song Jianqiu shook his head.
At this moment, Zhu Xinnuo and the others came back from everywhere, and each gestured with their eyes, indicating that they had not found anything wrong.
"Alright! The old man has taken his leave, and if you need anything, you can come to me! The village chief looked a little disappointed, and when he had finished speaking, he took his leave and left.
After the village chief left, Song Jianqiu said, "Let's all rest!" We'll leave tomorrow! ”
"Yes! Miss! ”
The four of them responded in unison, and each chose a room to rest.
Although there are four rooms in this house, one of them is a utility room and cannot be inhabited, and the remaining three, Shi Shan occupies one alone because of his size, Jin Honeysuckle and Han Chengyu sleep in one, and the remaining one is only squeezed by Song Jianqiu, Zhu Xinnuo and Yuan Li.
When he entered the room, he saw a stone table, a stone bench, and a stone bed in the room.
When Yuanli saw the stone table, he took the lead and said, "I'll sleep on the table!" There was nothing on the table, she jumped up directly, and after lying down, the ten-year-old height and body barely let her sleep, only showing a pair of feet outside.
"Let's both sleep in bed, then!" Song Jianqiu looked at it, and it could only be like this, so he spoke.
"Hmm!" Zhu Xinnuo nodded, but he didn't think much about it, after all, they are all of the same sex, and there is nothing embarrassing about sleeping in the same bed.
Although it was already afternoon at this time, it was still early, and they went back to their rooms to see how they could sleep, and now that they had made their decisions, they all went out of the room and came to the hall.
Compared to the small room, this hall is more spacious.
Several people each found a chair to sit down, and Xiaohua also came out to join in the fun at this time, wandering around the room and looking around.
At this moment, a sudden change appeared, and on the four walls of the house, including the ceiling and the ground, a complex number of soul marks suddenly appeared, instantly fixing the seven people on the ground, and the walls on both sides behind them slowly squeezed towards several people.
Pitfall!?
This sudden change instantly flashed the word in the minds of several people.
The Soul Burial Building, which hasn't appeared for a long time, is it finally going to be started?
At the moment of his thoughts, Song Jianqiu shouted: "Shi Ling! ”
The yellow light flew out of the cloak space very abruptly, instantly turned into a stone spirit stick, and smashed straight on the ground.
In an instant, it was like a big mountain smashing down, and suddenly the mountain shook, the ground cracked, the stone house began to collapse, and the soul mark of the ground was destroyed in an instant, and the feeling of being bound disappeared.
"Let's go!" At the sound of an order, a stone pillar rose under everyone's feet and lifted several people up.
Zhu Xinnuo and the others also reacted, and the Horcrux weapons in their hands shot one after another, and under the wave of the wave again and again, the roof above their heads was cut apart and knocked away one by one.
Several people rose rapidly, and after breaking through the house, they saw that hundreds of people had gathered outside, men, women and children, and judging from their clothing, they were all ordinary, and a few of them had even seen them when they entered the village, obviously these people were all villagers of this village!
This situation made several people really a little surprised, it turned out that from the moment they entered the village, they had already fallen into the encirclement of the enemy?
But in the process, several people never noticed anything unusual, as if these people were really villagers...... Or, these people were originally villagers here, but at the same time, they were also from the Soul Burial Tower?!
The leader of this group of people is undoubtedly the head of this village~
This middle-aged man with a beard and an appearance of more than forty was obviously surprised that Song Jianqiu and the others broke through the trap they laid so easily!
Although the trap doesn't expect to do much damage to the target, it is so easy, but it also shows that the information is wrong!
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, but at this time, the arrow was on the bow, even if the information was wrong, he had to do it.
"Up!"
The village chief gave an order, and some of the villagers scattered around him, and at the same time outlined a soul mark, nearly a hundred red thin lines, and shot towards the few people standing on the stone pillar.
"Be careful! It's Soulbinding! Zhu Xinnuo saw at a glance what this soul technique was, and reminded loudly.
Soul binding, as the name suggests, if it is bound, it will cause the soul power to run sluggishly, although it will not completely seal the soul power operation, but it is enough to greatly reduce the strength of people.
