Chapter 22 The white-clothed scholar walking in the rain

It was a gray day, and it rained for seven days in a row.

Hesitating in front of the main hall of the Soul Temple, looking at the redwood forest four miles to the southwest.

I saw that it was covered in fog and white.

The lush trees of the past, there is still one that can be seen.

His eyes swept around, and through the dripping raindrops, there were people living in a radius of ten miles, except for the thatched house, as well as a few villages.

The people from the rest of the villages have moved to Xixiang Town in the past few days.

Because in the past few days, more than 30 people have died one after another in a radius of ten miles centered on the redwood forest.

And the death is very strange, as if he saw something or experienced something before his death, with horror on his face.

So panic and rumors spread, and many people thought that there were ghosts at work.

So the villagers within a radius of ten miles all moved to Xixiang Town, which was sixteen miles northwest of the Soul Temple.

Of course, during this period, Crimson Cloud City also came to explain to the nearby villagers.

It is said that there are no ghosts at work, and that those who died were terrified because they had a special disease.

And also assured that Scarlet Cloud City has hired all the famous doctors in the three cities to start researching this disease, and I believe that it will be possible to get results and solve this cause in a few days.

However, just four days ago, when more than a dozen famous doctors came to these villages within ten miles of the redwood forest to investigate the cause,

The next day, there was an accident, and ten famous doctors from the three cities suddenly died mysteriously in a small village.

And the death was the same as the more than 30 villagers before, all of them were terrified.

When this news came out, not only the villagers in the ten miles near the redwood forest panicked, but the entire Scarlet Cloud City was boiling.

At this time, the rumors of ghosts and monsters spread like snowflakes throughout the three cities within the red walls.

But at the critical moment, Scarlet Cloud City remained surprisingly silent and did not give any explanation.

But just when everyone was in a ghost panic, a Confucian master in Scarlet Cloud City with two disciples quietly came to the redwood forest.

He built a thatched hut and lived here.

Strange to say, until this Confucian master came to erect a thatched hut outside the redwood forest, few people died mysteriously in the past two days.

As for Mo Fan himself, he was supposed to go to the Red Mist Valley to carry out his mission three days ago, but one of the guards stationed in the Red Mist Valley who had lost contact happened to be someone who walked out of it at this time.

So Wang Yu sent someone to inform him that the mission to investigate in the Red Mist Valley had been canceled.

Although he escaped, he has not been idle for seven days, and it can be said that he is on the verge of death.

Without it.

It's just that after the reincarnation of the five-day front waist card mission, three new ordinary one-star missions have been released in a row.

One is to destroy three low-level souls, two is to kill a corpse, and three is to enter the redwood forest and kill a tree monster.

The time limit is ten days, and the reward soul points are thirty.

In other words, these three tasks are not like the first time, where after completing one task, the next task will begin.

Instead, you need to complete these three tasks together within ten days, otherwise the task will be considered a failure, and thirty soul points will be deducted.

However, in these seven days, Mo Fan only completed the first task, destroying three unjust souls.

Of course, in these seven days, he didn't just destroy three unjust souls, with the help of [Soul Technique: Thousand Vine Ghost Dance], in a nearby village the night before, he eliminated three unjust souls in one night.

Therefore, in these seven days, six lowly souls died at his hands alone.

It can be said that the battle has been fruitful and fruitful.

Because by destroying goblins, one or three items can be obtained from them.

Just as he killed that unjust soul at one time, a wooden bead and a quick jade plaque fell from the other party's dissipating body.

The six ghosts that he eliminated would drop at least one wooden bead from their dissipated bodies, either wooden beads and jade plaques or hairpins, handkerchiefs, rings and other things.

He didn't know why, but it was a great help.

Aside from the role of wooden beads, things like jade plates, hairpins, handkerchiefs, rings, etc., he found that there was more or less a trace of soul energy contained in them.

What happened unexpectedly, the soul energy in his dantian could gradually increase by absorbing the soul energy in these things, from a small puddle, and finally into an ocean.

The more soul energy in the dantian, the stronger his strength is, and the most significant effect is [Soul Technique: Thousand Vine Ghost Dance], he can now conjure two vines.

The only pity is that due to the addition of one vine, he can only use the "ground thorn" as the easiest way to attack.

Fortunately, the "ground thorn" has been used up to three times a day instead of four times a day.

Although it is only one more, for him, it is one more chance to save his life.

However, his most important task at the moment is to complete the other two tasks.

Because he only has one soul point left, and the soul score was originally three points, and he got thirteen points for completing those two tasks.

Turning the soul disk once consumes ten points, and the remaining six points, subtracting one point every three days.

It just so happened that half a month had passed now, so he only had one soul point left.

One soul point, that is, he has a maximum of three days to live, during which time the other two tasks have not been completed.

Well, all that awaits him is obliteration.

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Fan, who was hesitating in front of the main hall of the Soul Temple, looked at the dripping rain, and his heart became irritable.

Especially in the second task to eliminate the corpse, until now he has not found any trace of the other party, and he does not know what kind of ghost the corpse is.

This is also the reason why he is upset, and he can't find the corpse, even if he enters the redwood forest and completes the third task.

Three days later, because the second task was not completed, the mission failed, and the soul points were deducted thirty and directly obliterated.

Although he didn't know how to kill him by the obliteration mentioned on the waist card, he could feel in his heart that if the soul score was zero, he would really die at that time.

As the saying goes, when you're in an irritable mood, you don't like what you see.

Mo Fan is like this now, looking at the two scholars in white robes and wearing only hats to protect themselves from the rain in the light rain.

He couldn't understand why these two scholars were wearing white robes on a rainy day and muddy puddles on the road?

So looking at the two scholars who came to the Soul Temple to take shelter from the rain, I couldn't help but slander in my heart.

"Sick."

Regarding Mo Fan's belly, Haolin and Jiayan, who walked towards the Soul Temple, didn't know about it.

Looking at Mo Fan standing in front of the main hall, he thought that he had come to wait for them again.

They also smiled and muttered to each other.

"Brother Mo is so enthusiastic!"
