The bizarre disappearance of the county commander's family soon caused uneasiness among the people in the city, and all kinds of rumors spread for a while. However, everyone still only thought that this kind of thing would only happen in Liufu, but as everyone knows, the shadow of death has quickly shrouded the entire Shuangshui County.

In the first few days, only the dogs of each family disappeared one after another, and at the same time, rumors of zombie infestation at night gradually spread; A few days later, the number of missing people expanded to include people, from a few at first, to more than a dozen people missing overnight. Some families were fine that day, but the next day, the whole family disappeared and the family was ruined. For a while, people were panicked and extremely uneasy.

The homeless and unemployed children of the county were the first to move out of the city, and the wealthy families had no choice but to hire more people to take care of their homes and homes. However, a few days later, several broken children who fled to other counties fled back to the county with extreme panic, and at the same time brought back an even more terrible news, all the people who escaped from the county were bitten to death by zombies halfway.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and all the people who planned to flee with them had no choice but to dispel their thoughts and stay in the city. The county order is dead, the commissioners are no longer in charge, and the entire vicinity of Shuangshui County is completely cut off from the outside world, and the city is in a state of chaos and disorder. Every night, the whole county is like a dead city, without the slightest light, and all the people hide in their homes, watching in horror the terrible shadows that keep wandering in the darkness.

At this moment, Zhang Lie and Xiaoyu were standing in a mountain more than ten miles away from Shuangshui County, looking at the valley below. These days, Zhang Lie has been trying to find out where the plague that controls these corpses is hiding, but the other party is very cunning, these corpses haunt at night, and before dawn comes, they all gather in the mass graves outside the city and hide underground, and do not directly gather around the plague.

Zhang Lie couldn't, so he could only follow the inextricable wisps of demonic qi of the plague control corpse, and groped little by little, and finally found this valley a few days later.

The plague is a type of zombie, and it is also the most difficult type of zombie to cultivate. It carries a very strong corpse poison on its body, and everywhere it goes, it can infect dead corpses like a plague, so as to control these "tentacles of activity" and malaria everywhere. Anyone who is bitten to death by a corpse will also become a corpse after a day and night of yin and yang changes, and the essence qi absorbed by himself will be transmitted back to the body of the plague to help him cultivate.

Therefore, it has always been an extremely feared existence for both humans and demons. Without him, it is only because once it is fully cultivated, the terrible disaster caused will not be cleaned up in a while.

Therefore, for various reasons, Zhang Lie also wanted to get rid of this plague that was summoned because of his resentment over the use of ghost spells. After all, if left unchecked, Shuangshui County will become a city full of zombies sooner or later, which is not what he wants, and because of this, a large number of sorcerers will be summoned, let alone what he wants to see.

The valley below has been completely transformed. The place where the forest was originally lush was now only full of dead branches and leaves, the ground was scorched and cracked, and a large amount of misty yin qi was shrouded in it, like a ghost country.

However, Gu Wai didn't feel the slightest abnormality at all, and it was obvious that in order to protect himself, Plague used a special method to limit the Yin Qi inside. The scorched land in the valley stretches to the feet of the two men, in stark contrast to the verdant greenery across the line, like two worlds.

The scene in front of him made Zhang Lie even more worried, because it meant that his opponent had cultivated to a considerable level.

"Brother Zhang Lie, is that thing in there?" I don't know when, Xiaoyu began to change her name to Zhang Lie. After seeing the tragic situation in Shuangshui County, she has been accompanying Zhang Lie these days to look for the plague.

Zhang Lie squatted down and cautiously stretched his hand to the side of the scorched earth. When I picked up a piece of soil with two fingers and took it slightly, the clod of soil immediately turned into fine powder, and the yellow-black soil powder fell on the grass at this end, and the grass near it dried up.

"It's so strong, even the land has been corroded." Zhang Lie couldn't help but exclaim.

Saying that, he stood up and motioned for Xiao Yu to retreat: "That thing is inside, we have to take advantage of it to kill more people to deal with this guy." It's dangerous here, you go down the mountain at once, but don't wander around, wait for me to come down. ”

"Do you want to go alone?" Xiao Yu said worriedly.

Zhang Lie stroked her hair: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." You go quickly, wait until sunset and you'll be in trouble. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a man in the forest on the left: "Girl, you'd better get out of that person quickly." ”

He didn't realize that there was someone hiding near Zuo, Zhang Lie was shocked, pulled Xiaoyu behind him, stared at the woods and said sharply: "Who is it!" ”

The bushes parted, and a man had stepped out. He is about 20 years old, with a Chinese face, good facial features, and a youthful look on his young face. He was wearing a simple Taoist robe, and the clouds on his chest showed that he was a disciple of Emei. On his back he carried a long sword, and the jaw of the sword exposed on his shoulder had been sharpened to reveal the copper lining inside.

However, it was such an ordinary little Taoist priest who could be seen everywhere, but Zhang Lie was greatly jealous. Because he came to such a close place, he didn't even notice it, obviously this person has extremely good strength.

"Four floating clouds, so young, he is already an elder-level Dingzi disciple, this guy's origin is definitely not simple. The more scared you are, the more you come....." Staring at each other, Zhang Lie couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

Today, Emei Wudang Kunlun Heavenly Master is known as the four major schools of art, among which Emei is respected. There is a clear hierarchy in the faction, and the puffy clouds on the robe are distinguished by the entry-level ranks. Four of them are floating clouds, which can only be possessed by the elder level, and they have an extremely high status in the sect. And the young man in front of him is so young that he can be among the ranks, his background is definitely not ordinary, and he may even have a lot to do with Li Kun, the generation of grandmasters of the Emei faction who died a few years ago.

Xiao Yu also looked at this uninvited guest with a look of surprise, and only frowned after a while: "What are you talking about?" ”

As if a little frightened to meet her eyes, the young man lowered his head slightly: "I mean, you'd better get out of that person quickly, because he..."

"What is he? I haven't asked you who you are? Suddenly he ran out and said something inexplicable. Xiaoyu unceremoniously interrupted the young man's words, and stuck out his tongue at him mischievously.

The young man's face turned red, and he snorted: "I am a disciple of the Emei faction, girl, you believe me, he is really..."

Seeing his reaction in his eyes, Zhang Lie's heart moved. Without waiting for the young man to finish speaking, he gently stroked the back of Xiaoyu's head, and then grabbed her who was fainting. Looking at the other party, he smiled indifferently: "I'm sorry, I can't let her know my identity yet." ”

Slightly stunned, the young man immediately pulled out his long sword: "A monster is really a monster, let her go quickly, I can consider leaving your soul and sending you to reincarnate." ”

"Really, why do all the sorcerers have to fight when they meet us..."Zhang Lie muttered helplessly, and then shrugged: "Believe it or not, I have no intention of harming her." ”

"Hmph, I didn't know that the famous Zhang Lie still had the leisure to mix with a little girl." The young man was unmoved, and with a stretch of his sword, he took a step closer.

"You know me?" Seeing that he actually recognized himself, Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

Ignoring his words, the young man took another step closer: "I'll say one last time, let her go!" ”

The atmosphere between the two suddenly calmed down. Zhang Lie knew that approaching this distance, whether he wanted to or not, once the other party stepped out next, he had to face it, otherwise it would be a consequence of regret.

At this time, the situation was quite delicate, although the young man stared at Zhang Lie without blinking, he was afraid of the little jade in his hand, and he did not make a move for a while; And Zhang Lie's expression was indistinguishable, making it impossible to guess his true intentions.

At this imminent moment, Zhang Lie suddenly pointed to the valley on the side: "Also here for it?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, the young man said in a deep voice: "No, but of course I can't ignore it." ”

"In the neighboring county, nearly 100 people have been turned into corpses, if it is not solved, once this plague takes shape, the people of the whole city will be in danger. It seems that it will not be more than seven days at most. ”

"......, so what."

"At this moment, you and I are the only ones who can clean it up, and I don't think you or I are sure of victory. If you have to fight, I don't care, but even if you can kill me, you think you can get away with it? At that time, the cultivation of the plague will take shape, and it will be impossible to escape from the city, and thousands of people will be harmed for one person, so I don't need to say it anymore. Zhang Lie shrugged.

The young man fell silent, he turned his head to look at a scorched earth valley, his eyebrows gradually twisted, obviously savoring Zhang Lie's words. Zhang Lie said with a hot iron: "Since you know me, you should know that although my sorcerers have killed a lot, they have never attacked innocent people, and I will not do anything to her." If you and I cooperate, it will not be difficult to clean up the plague, you must have heard what I said just now, and I am also here for it, not for the sake of life at this moment. ”

The young man finally moved, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll believe you once." As long as you let go of her and help me subdue the plague again, I will let you go as if I didn't see anything. ”

With a sneer, Zhang Lie said unceremoniously: "How long do you want to maintain your people's sense of superiority?" Do you think you're giving me alms? I'm telling you this, I just don't want to see thousands of innocent lives lost. I want to ask, if the demon clan suffers such a calamity, who will stand up? Don't forget, there are thousands of people whose lives are threatened right now, and I won't harm them, but I'm not obligated to help them, and it's not a big deal to pat your ass and leave. ”

After listening to Zhang Lie's words silently, for a moment, anger flashed in the young man's eyes, and he was almost about to make a move. But in the end, his gaze gradually calmed again, and after a moment, he said apologetically: "You are right, I am sorry for what I just said. ”

Seeing his serious look, Zhang Lie also smiled: "Very good, I think you finally understand what is the most basic politeness that needs to be maintained when cooperating."

However, the young man was obviously extremely stubborn, and he still stubbornly asked, "But I still want to ask, why did you stay with this girl?" ”

Xindao is really a dead eye, Zhang Lie sighed, told him about Xiaoyu's escape, and finally said: "So that's it, I saved her." I wanted to take her to the city to break the marriage contract and send her home, but I didn't expect to encounter a plague, so I came here. ”

The young man couldn't help but stare at Xiao Yu in Zhang Lie's arms, obviously extremely surprised by her audacity. Zhang Lie saw it in his eyes, smiled secretly in his heart, and said affirmedly: "Do you believe it now?" ”

"Huh? Yes... I'm sorry for what just happened. The young man scratched his head in embarrassment.

Patting him on the shoulder like an old friend, Zhang Lie said in a low voice: "But you'd better not ask about this for a while, you also know that the girl's face is tender, and it will be troublesome to annoy her." ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded solemnly.

"Very well, then we should talk about how to clean up this plague." Zhang Lie smiled.

The young man's face also became solemn: "When are you going to do it?" ”

Looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, Zhang Lie smiled: "The time is just right, why not now?" ”

The young man shook his head, and he muttered: "The plague yin qi is extremely heavy, it is the best time to attack at noon, but this moment is also the time when it is the most vigilant, if it is accidentally hidden underground, it will be very troublesome to subdue it again." Judging from the extent of this valley and the extent of the scorched soil, this plague must have broken through the soil at midnight within five days to make the last 'moon drink' before the formation. Although all the corpses will return to protect them, it is the most critical moment for the plague, and it will certainly not run away. ”

The young man at this moment is talking eloquently, where is there still a little immature shadow just now? It was only at this time that he revealed insights that matched his identity, which was impressive.

Zhang Lie also looked at him in surprise, he was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and the young man couldn't help scratching his head: "Ha, that was all told to me by the master, just now I just relayed his old man's words." He once said that in the middle of the night, the plague corpse qi is the strongest, but the 'Drinking Moon' is very important, but he is not afraid that it will escape, but it is the best time to subdue it. Therefore, the most dangerous place is often the most critical. ”

"Good insight." Zhang Lie couldn't help but praise: "But I don't know who your master is?" ”

"The name of the first teacher is on Li Xiakun." There was undisguised pride on the young man's face.
