Chapter 477: Dawn (26)
In the early morning, the sun is shining, everything is revived, and after a rain moisturization, the air on the pier is fresh and clean, and the breathing is smooth, giving people a sense of relaxation and happiness.
However, at this time, Ding Mo was obviously not in the mood to take care of this good time, on the contrary, his mood was exhausted.
Last night, a sudden storm caused heavy damage to the entire dock, not only a large number of houses collapsed and damaged, but even the goods in the Jiazi warehouse were swept away by the storm.
Ding Mo naturally knew that the things in this Jiazi warehouse, but some of the logistics materials transported by the Taihe Palace Supervisor, were used as war reserves, and most importantly, these materials were also mixed with some shady things, and Ding Mo and the others hid here in order not to attract attention.
And now, everything has been wiped out by the storm, even under the effect of natural disasters, and he, the person in charge of the docks, is to blame.
Something has an accident, and there is always someone who has to carry the black pot!
Thinking of this, Ding Mo's deep and watery face was even more ugly.
After being silent for a while, his eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth, glanced at the messy dock, and then laughed weirdly......
Sitting next to a ruined adobe house, Li Zimo didn't notice Ding Mo's strange expression in the distance, like eating a fly, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, because he was immersed in a state of soul wandering outside the world.
That's right, being smashed in the chest by a cultivator's fist like a hammer, Li Zimo was originally dead and couldn't die anymore, but for some reason, when he woke up from a coma, he was still alive and kicking, and the original tragic injuries couldn't be seen at this time.
The most bizarre thing is that the body buried under the collapsed rubble of the adobe house is gone at this time!
Everything last night was like a dream.
But Li Zimo knew that this was not a dream, but a living existence, because the exquisite purse that the young man threw on the bed was being held tightly in his hand at this time.
It was one of the items he found digging through the rubble when he woke up, along with several broken bottles and jars and the quaint wrench.
Li Zimo was a little puzzled, he tried to remember everything last night, it seemed that something was pouring out of his head before he fell unconscious.
"Uh...... Souls of all beings?"
......
......
Just after nightfall, a deafening swaying sound resounded through the sky, like a bronze bell ringing, affecting every corner of the dock.
The man who was originally lying on the bed opened his eyes, and after listening carefully for a while, his expression suddenly changed. He got up suddenly, quickly got dressed, and ran towards the door, while rushing to the other bed, rubbing his eyes and not waking up Li Zimo shouted: "Boy, get up quickly, something happened, it's the alarm bell!"
Hearing the man's anxious roar, Li Zimo was slightly stunned, got up instantly, didn't care about asking, dressed up just as quickly, and then trotted all the way behind the man, running towards the open space in the center of the dock.
At this time, the entire dock was already a scene full of people, and nearly a thousand dock workers gathered around the dock square, looking a little chaotic.
The tall man squeezed through the crowd rudely and walked towards the deepest part, and Li Zimo, who was rooted in the back, followed the gap and did not take a step.
Walking through the crowd, his vision suddenly opened up, but what he saw in front of him surprised Li Zimo.
In the far center of the square, blood splattered beside a pile of logs, and scarlet plasma everywhere. Under a few broken, tumbling logs, there was a bloody corpse. The corpse's face was distorted, its frontal bones collapsed, and the eyes with green tendons seemed to have been squeezed out and fell on the sand, looking horrible and abnormal, smeared with bright red oozing, which was shocking.
"Unexpectedly...... It's him!" Li Zimo blinked, seemingly slightly stunned.
Even though the corpse was distorted, he still saw a familiar appearance on the corpse, it was a man nicknamed Shuo Rat, who had spoken to Li Zimo a few times.
But he ...... How could you die here?
Slightly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Li Zimo's face showed a look of doubt......
"Shuo Rat has never made enemies with people, how could he die here quietly?"
Someone whispered.
"The death was so miserable, it didn't look like it was done by a human being. Someone frowned.
"Not human?"
"What's that?"
"Could it be some kind of demon or monster?"
"Demons and monsters?" someone was slightly stunned..."Taihe Palace is guarding in Baiyun City, how can there be demons and monsters?"
Some people seemed to be unconvinced, some people looked frightened, some people were at a loss, and the square seemed to be chaotic.
Such a big thing happened, and the Taihe Palace gods stationed at the dock naturally got the news, and they came in a hurry and blocked the scene of the incident to maintain order in the square.
After a short on-site investigation, the people of Taihe Palace came to a conclusion, even if it was not announced, everyone could see from their solemn faces that the matter must have reached an unimaginable level, but it was also more certain that it was the fact that it was the demons.
Ordered a divine soldier to go and report the matter to Ding Mo, the person in charge of the dock, the Taihe Palace God General had a gloomy face, silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth, and issued an order: "Because of the traces of demons found around, all the workers immediately return to their residences, and they must not leave a step, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
As soon as this order came out, it instantly caused an uproar in the audience!
"Sure enough, it was a demon!"
Everyone looked at each other and exchanged ears, and the whole square was full of noise.
Perhaps because they were afraid that some demons would lurk in the crowd and wait for an opportunity, these gods and gods would order the dock workers to return to their residences, and then search and kill them one by one, which would reduce casualties and prevent demons from sneaking up, which was a safer way in its current form.
However, there are pros and cons to everything.
Everyone is separated one by one, each back to the residence, not allowed to go out, scattered targets are very likely to be targeted by demons, if you encounter a hidden demon in the room, the danger factor will be greatly increased, after all, with a physical mortal fetus encountering demons, not to mention the danger can be described, the demon is simply a game of nine deaths, no wonder everyone has doubts.
"If someone really acts as a bait and lures out the demons, it can be regarded as a great merit. ”
The god looked at the bewildered faces and smiled slightly. He instructed the soldiers beside him, and then turned and left without looking back.
The soldiers who received the order controlled the various exits of the wharf, and one by one they looked solemn as if they were facing a great enemy. The bright blade made the entire dock immersed in a heavy and solemn atmosphere.
Everyone looked worried, but none of them cared about the man who had been dead for a long time on the ground.
Looking at the distorted corpse, Li Zimo sighed.
When he took a few steps forward, ready to pull the other party's corpse out from under the log, and then find a pit to bury it, his expression suddenly froze, and the person couldn't help but shiver.
A mysterious stream of air spread out from the corpse, followed the fingertips, and quickly poured into the brain. There was a slight shock in his mind, and the air flow was swallowed in an instant, and immediately, an extremely pure energy ball of light was fed back, pouring into the divine spring opened up in the center of his eyebrows.
Moreover, the devouring force did not seem to be satisfied, and derived an even more powerful suction, as if it wanted to absorb the entire corpse.
Li Zimo, who found these signs, broke out in a cold sweat, and he instantly severed the connection between the sea of consciousness and the divine spring, so that the whole mind became calm.
It all happened in the light of light!
In the moment of severance, this strange devouring power was gone.
Frowning slightly, Li Zimo suddenly found that he was a little different, as if he had opened a new world, his whole person was a little reborn, and it was very different from his previous state.
"Could it be that this is the power that the monk has?"
After living in the City Lord's Mansion in Baiyun City for more than 20 years, Li Zimo has been in a daze, until he was taken away from Baiyun City by Zang Feng and hid in Tibet in the entire Daluo Prefecture, and gradually regained his senses, but in this process, Li Zimo did not have any strange places, he seemed to have forgotten that on the night of the great change in Baiyun City, a "living soul" had a brief revival, and the name of that living soul was the killing Dao Master!
......
......
The night is picturesque, thick as if the ink can't be dissolved, covering the moonlight in the sky, only occasionally when the breeze blows, the slightest silver light will be shocking!
And in this environment, a figure kept shuttling in the night, like a prophet, avoiding the Taihe Palace divine soldiers who were patrolling everywhere. As he skimmed over the pile of sacks of sack, he leaned slightly and landed deftly in the shadow of the corner beside him.
This is the back kitchen of the docks, where all the workers are fed, and on the night of the storm, the back kitchen was so badly damaged that some places still haven't had time to rest.
The half-meter-wide ventilation window in the back kitchen is one of the places where the back kitchen has time to rest in the future!
Li Zimo held his breath, leaned against the cold wall, and looked up at the nearly two-meter-high ventilation window not far away.
Under the glance, everything around him was well understood.
Seeing that there was no difference, he accelerated a few steps violently, and his body bounced up, like a jumping white dolphin, drawing a graceful parabola in mid-air, shooting straight into the two-meter-high ventilation window.
At the moment of falling, Li Zimo landed on the ground with one palm, but with a slight force, his body bounced up again, turned over in mid-air, and landed smoothly on the slippery floor of the back kitchen, the whole movement was clean and neat, and even his breathing was not a little heavier.
Although I have imagined this kind of similar action more than once, it is the first time that I have done it so lightly.
Something suddenly appeared in his body, which made Li Zimo feel a little new and a little strange.
After all, things that have not been touched for more than 20 years have been transformed by many ordinary people, otherwise, on the docks of Taihe Palace, which is heavily guarded, Li Zimo will not be allowed to run around.
In the dimly lit back kitchen, the light is dim, the vision is a little blurred, and in the dark space, a disgusting musty smell spreads in the air.
If it were an ordinary person in this environment, his eyes would definitely be black, but for Li Zimo, there seemed to be no obstacles, and his eyes seemed to glow, even more clearly than the kraken during the day.
Glancing slightly, the three-dimensional picture of the back kitchen suddenly vividly displayed in my mind.
In the room more than ten meters wide, a large number of burlap bags were piled up on the east side of the wall, which was the source of the musty smell, most of which were some grain that was about to rot. To the west were stacks of firewood, iron axes for chopping wood, bundles of twine the thickness of a man's thumb, and a huge stove rusting from the rust. In the southern corner, a dozen half-human-high wooden buckets filled with fresh water, and layers of fine oil floated quietly on the water, provoking a swarm of flies to salivate.
All the food eaten by the workers on the docks is processed one by one from this dim, damp, shabby, filthy back kitchen.
Shaking his head slightly, ignoring the mess in the back kitchen, Li Zimo twisted his eyebrows and came to the corner of the wall where the grains were piled up with a solemn face.
Because from this place, he sensed a strange aura.
After a long silence, he stretched out his right hand and jerked open a bag of rotten and spoiled grain, revealing a gap behind the strange back.
Seeing this scene, Li Zimo's pupils shrank, and his whole person grew his mouth slightly.
He never imagined that there would be such a large gap in the source of the aura he sensed.
After all, it is a place where people come and go, and during the day, there are often people stationed in the back kitchen, how can there be such a gap in such a tight place?
He removed the bottom layers of the sacks of burlap, which grew larger and larger, until a hole more than half a man high was revealed.
The swarthy entrance of the cave is like an abyss, even if you stand outside, you seem to be able to smell a fishy smell, and the mucus contaminated with the entrance of the cave is like the secretion of some poisonous snake and beast, just smelling a trace of it, it makes people feel extremely disgusting.
"Could it be that the monster came out of this hole?"
Frowning slightly, Li Zimo immediately thought that S was the bloody corpse, if that person really encountered something, would that thing come from here.
But after all, this wharf seems to be the distribution center used by Taihe Palace to turn around logistics and baggage, such an important place, although there are some ordinary people, but some masters such as gods and generals are still scattered all over the place, and not far away is Baiyun City, the current center of the Xihai camp, there are all living beings in charge, how can they let any demons and monsters around them wreak havoc, could it be that those masters of Taihe Palace have not found the aura emitted by this monster?
At this moment, Li Zimo couldn't help blinking his eyes, and even his breathing became rapid, as if a black cloud was overpowering, and the atmosphere of the entire space became depressed......
