It was only at night that the massive chaos slowly subsided.

Zhou Tiejun used this killing to announce to the people his cold-bloodedness and authority in the Ghost Gate, in this Ghost Gate, anyone who tries to challenge his authority will only die!

There are still a lot of Flame Knights walking back and forth on the main streets. On the one hand, it was ordered to continue the city-wide sweep, and on the other hand, it continued to deter adventurers and merchants stranded in the Ghost Gate Pass, and imposed martial law throughout the city.

The atmosphere was still tense, adventurers and caravans were terrified, and no one dared to take to the streets to protest anymore;

The Flame Knights also did not dare to take it lightly, fearing that people would gather again to cause a riot, and that more pressure would come from outside the city.

As time dragged on, more and more pythons gathered outside the city, and even, a super python more than 800 meters long faintly appeared in the darkness. With the arrival of this super python, the snake group is ready to attack the city at any time, which makes every flame knight who knows extremely nervous.

Just when most of the troops of the Ghost Gate Pass were concentrated on the snakes, no one noticed that a large number of scorpions appeared in the Ghost Gate Pass, which drilled in through the sewers of the Ghost Gate Pass, lurking in the darkness silently, scattered in all corners of the Ghost Gate Pass.

Hong Yuan returned to the inn and continued to lurk as a wandering swordsman, but he was not idle, and when Zhou Tiejun, the commander of the Ghost Gate Pass, showed his cold-blooded and iron fist to the fullest, Hong Yuan also began to act.

The first step is to let Hong Python lead a group of python legions to the city to create panic and tension;

The second step is to summon the Scorpion Legion in, and with the help of the Python Legion and the cover of the night, they are quietly scattered in all corners of the Ghost Gate Pass, brewing a ferocious counterattack.

As the night grew darker, Hong Yuan once again ascended to the highest point of the inn and looked at the whole city.

After the riots, most of the city was pitch black, but the Ghost Gate General's Mansion was blazing, and groups of flame knights went in and out, holding torches to take turns on the streets to guard and patrol. Neither the frightened adventurers hiding in the inn nor the Flame Knights riding their horses through the streets noticed the arrival of the Scorpion Legion. Hong Yuan, who was standing on a high place, clearly sensed the arrival of the Scorpion Army. Closing his eyes, his mind was dark and blank, and he silently recited the War Pet Heavenly Scripture to urge his soul, and countless points of light slowly appeared in his mind, each of which represented a small scorpion.

Cultivators have divine souls, and so are demon beasts, even if they are small scorpions that look ordinary on the surface;

The command of the battle pet is actually the control of its soul!

Hong Yuan kept his eyes closed, spreading his divine sense sensing to the limit, sensing the position and movements of each little scorpion, and entering a mysterious state. During this time, his cultivation had been at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, and he was unable to open the Quartet Treasure to break through to the Quartet Realm. But the slow cultivation speed also has the advantage of being slow, the foundation is solid, and the experience of the Battle Pet Heavenly Scripture is getting deeper and deeper.

After cultivating the War Pet Heavenly Scripture, he didn't collect many War Pets, and they all indirectly controlled a huge army of War Pets through the Blood Bat King, the Butterfly King, and the Scorpion King. For a long time, he thought that no matter how high his cultivation was, he would not be able to collect hundreds of thousands of war pets, and he would not be able to command them if he reluctantly collected them, so he had to rely on the help of the King of Demon Beasts such as the Blood Bat King. But with the excavation of the treasure of the divine soul in the body and the improvement of the power of the divine soul, he gradually touched a new world, and if he continued to cultivate like this, he might be able to collect endless war pets one day.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, suddenly coming from behind him.

The Scorpion King, who had been lying on Hong Yuan's shoulder, suddenly raised his tail, and trembled at high speed to make a unique abnormal sound, and a group of scorpions immediately rushed out of the darkness, pounced on the comer with teeth and claws. The latter screamed, the voice was very familiar, it was none other than Zou Haiyan, the titular captain of the Dragon Hunting Team.

Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes and turned around, and as soon as his mind moved, the scorpions that were rushing towards Zou Haiyan retreated like a tide, disappearing into the darkness, "Swallow girl, why are you here?"

"Why, you can only come to this roof, and no one else can come?" Zou Haiyan asked rhetorically, looking around nervously as she spoke, and was frightened by the large group of scorpions just now.

Miss Swallow laughed, of course. ”

Hong Yuan smiled, secretly guessing Zou Haiyan's intention.

In today's riot, although Zou Haiyan and his entourage returned to the inn alive, the situation was not optimistic, and they were more or less injured. The fat man Liang Laosan was the most seriously injured and was stabbed in the chest.

Zou Haiyan was silent and didn't say anything more, there was silence on the rooftop, only the whirring of the cold wind.

Hong Yuan didn't say anything, knowing that Zou Haiyan must have something to do with him, so he waited patiently.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Zou Haiyan broke the silence, "Uncle, are you really a wandering swordsman?"

"Of course, it's still a very down-and-out wandering swordsman. Have you ever seen a master who would take on such a task in order to earn a few taels of silver and drive such a long distance for others?" Hong Yuan asked rhetorically, with a wry smile and self-deprecation on the surface, but secretly vigilant in his heart, knowing that Zou Haiyan might have discovered something. These young people seem to be giggling and fun-loving, but they are actually not stupid at all, especially Zou Haiyan, who is more shrewd than many old rivers and lakes.

"Then where have you been today, staying in the inn all the time?" Zou Haiyan asked again.

"Nope. ”

Hong Yuan shook his head, what he said was true or false, "When the soldiers were on a killing spree, I rushed out and wanted to pull you back. As a result, before I could find you, I was scattered by the crowd, and I was almost chased and killed by the soldiers on the way. I escaped into a small alley by mistake, and only then did I pick up a life, and I almost didn't see you anymore. ”

"No wonder the shopkeeper said you came back very late, thank you, uncle. ”

Zou Haiyan muttered to herself and finally relieved her doubts, turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly turned around, "By the way, what happened to those scorpions just now?"

Thinking back to the group of scorpions that suddenly appeared in front of her just now, Zou Haiyan was still a little nervous, and vaguely felt a little weird. What is weird, I can't say for a while.

"Who knows, this place is located in the hinterland of the Ghost Ridge Mountains, and so many pythons can suddenly appear outside the city, and it is normal for scorpions to be infested. ”

Hong Yuan shook his head and continued: "When expelling many adventurers and merchants, the Flame Knights were particularly fierce, and I hope that when the python outside the city starts to attack the city, they can be so fierce. Otherwise, the city gate will be in trouble. Miss Swallow, you must not go out easily these two days, especially at night. It's very dangerous outside, so be careful. ”

"Well, uncle, you should be careful!"

Zou Haiyan was worried and didn't think much about it, turned around and left. Behind him, Hong Yuan began to change his outfit, putting on a black battle armor that Zhao Xuemin ordered people to urgently refine, his whole body was pitch black, and there were two curved horns on his forehead, disguised as a night demon who escaped from the Night Demon Stone Forest.

"Little scorpions, get to work!"

Hong Yuan tidied up the outfit on his body, simulated the appearance of the night demon and smiled coldly, jumped off the rooftop and flew away, and began to fight back in earnest. As soon as he moved, the scorpions all over the city came into action, burrowing from the roots of the walls, the grass, and the gutters, and converging into a stream to walk in the darkness, secretly staring at the Flame Knights patrolling the various places.
