Lin Dongjiu looked at the attention value column of the system panel, and his eyelids jumped.

More than 7,000 attention values!

This is the first time he has received such attention at one time, and all this is only brought by the quirky girl next to him, which can't help but make him gasp:

It's terrifying!

And the most important thing is a prompt sound interspersed with the system:

"Congratulations to the host for accumulating 10,000 attention points and giving away the magic weapon - the Soul Book!"

"Note: Soul Book: Anyone who holds this thin can apply a soul brand to the target, causing the target to submit to the thin one."

"Note: When the bearer casts a soul brand on the target, the target must not be able to resist or give up resistance in order to be successful."

Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but light up when he heard the system's introduction to this magic weapon, and he immediately became interested.

If this thing works well... The corners of Lin Dongjiu's mouth hooked up a smile, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people now, he would have to take out the brand spirit book and take a look.

...

The two teams in the square were already ready to go, and there were more than 100 disciples present today, and there were more than 80 disciples who went to the Burial Dragon Mountain Range, so looking at it, the size of Lin Dongjiu's team was a little pitiful.

Their destination, the Burial Dragon Mountain Range, is more than two hundred miles north of Luoxia Sect, which is the habitat of many spirit beasts, and is famous for its ferocious and bloodthirsty spirit beasts.

The first-level spirit beasts on the periphery of the mountain range can be seen everywhere, and the second- and third-level spirit beasts in the depths are infested from time to time, and if you are unlucky, the probability of encountering a fourth-level spirit beast is also very great.

The last time Lin Dongjiu entered the Burial Dragon Mountain Range, he was only wandering around the periphery, if he accidentally entered the depths of the mountain range, it was a matter of whether he could come out alive or not.

Moreover, because few people dare to set foot in the Burial Dragon Mountain Range, the aura is rich and the products are abundant. If you're lucky, you'll be able to pick spirit grass that is more than a hundred years old on the periphery of the Burial Dragon Mountain Range.

If you dare to go deeper, you may encounter the legendary treasures of heaven and earth, so many monks are willing to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers for the sake of treasures and opportunities, and go to the depths to take risks.

But in the depths of the Burial Dragon Mountain Range is a forbidden area of death, I am afraid that I can find the treasure but I have no life to enjoy, and ordinary people are sent to death if they enter.

The sect master asked the disciples to go to the depths of the mountain range to experience and sent four Infant Transformation Realm elders to follow, and the sect master also went there himself, which was enough to see the danger level.

The team that went to the trial in the Burial Dragon Mountain Range began to set off under the leadership of the four elders, and after Lan Qiong saw the team leaving, he cleared his throat and said:

"Our destination is Luo'an Village, which is not too far from the Burial Dragon Mountains. In comparison, our mission is relatively easy, but I hope that everyone will not take it lightly and always be vigilant against the sneak attack of the Demon Temple. ”

Elder Xu Ming also shouted, "Let's follow behind them, let's go now!" ”

The team of more than twenty people was moving fast, but the team in front was faster and had long since disappeared.

Most of the disciples in the team walked in groups of three or five, among which Cao Yushan and Lu Dajin were surrounded by the most people, and from time to time there were bursts of whiskers and laughter, and there were many people who wanted to please the two of them.

Lin Dongjiu and Su Ruxue walked at the back, but no one was willing to approach them or talk to them, presumably because the identity of Miss Su Ruxue was too deterrent for them as outer disciples, or they were afraid of touching Su Ruxue's fiery temper.

Lin Dongjiu saw that the female disciples in the team were all respectful of Su Ruxue, and couldn't help but wonder, can she really have friends in the sect?

However, Su Ruxue was next to him like a sister next to him along the way, chattering non-stop, how could there be a cold shelf that the eldest lady should have on weekdays.

Lin Dongjiu felt that since Su Ruxue became acquainted with him, even the breed had changed, and the image of the eldest lady who was arrogant and unreasonable at the beginning was more like a layer of camouflage, and after seeing each other honestly, there was enthusiasm and innocence left, which made him a little unaccustomed.

Lan Qiong, who was at the front of the team, looked back at the two of them curiously from time to time, as if she wanted to ask something, but because of the face of her elders, she controlled the urge to come forward and talk several times.

She said that this stinky girl begged her to come to the second team too, it turned out that the lover came to the private meeting!

It's just that Su Ruxue's lover doesn't seem to be very motivated... Lan Qiong couldn't help frowning.

"Congratulations on getting Lan Qiong's attention, attention value +1!"

"Congratulations on getting Lan Qiong's attention, attention value +1!"

“...”

Lin Dongjiu was also a little embarrassed when he heard the continuous ringing of the prompt sound, and he also looked at Elder Lan Qiong curiously, and the eyes of the two immediately met together.

He smiled at Lan Qiong, and Lan Qiong panicked and immediately turned back like a child who had done something bad was discovered.

Elder Xu Ming, who was beside Lan Qiong, also seemed to have noticed her abnormality, he coughed, and said, "Ruxue, this child was brought up by you, I didn't expect that now I have my own Taoist companion, time flies so fast." ”

"yes, after all these years, you still can't beat me." Lan Qiong glared at him and said with a cold face.

Elder Xu Ming scratched his head: "Qiong'er, you also know that all these years have passed, do you think we will either be..."

Elder Lan Qiong snorted lightly and said, "Didn't I tell you, when you can beat me, I will agree to be your Daoist companion." ”

Elder Xu Ming said with a bitter face, "I... This one... I really can't beat you! It's really not good, you can change your requirements! ”

"No way!"

Lan Qiong turned her back on her hands, her little face was raised high, and her arrogant appearance was even better than Su Ruxue.

...

It was almost noon, Lin Dongjiu and they had already completed half of the journey, and when they passed through a valley, he still remembered that it was here that Chen Yiyin was beaten, and then he fled to the Burial Dragon Mountain Range to meet the little girl, these things seemed to have happened yesterday.

After walking a little further, a winding silhouette of the Dragon Mountain Range could already be faintly buried.

The peaks of the Burial Dragon Mountains in front of you are undulating, high and low, stretching for thousands of miles.

At that time, from the sky, the Burial Dragon Mountain Range under his feet looked like a giant dragon lying across the vast earth, so it was appropriate for people to name this mountain range the Burial Dragon Mountain Range.

And when he was in Luo'an Village, he heard the old man tell some legends about the Burial Dragon Mountain Range.

The old man said that the formation of the mountain range was actually a divine dragon that broke the spatial barrier and came to the fairy spirit continent, and finally died here, and finally the body of the divine dragon turned into the buried dragon mountain range.

As the sun set, they had already seen the village of Luo'an.

Su Ruxue looked at the village and said with some doubts:

"It's strange, it's already evening, why isn't there even a family to make a fire to cook?"

When Lin Dongjiu saw that there was really no house in the village with smoke coming from the cooking, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and an uneasy emotion instantly enveloped his whole body.

"No... How did the village protection circle above the village disappear! ”

Elder Xu Ming, who was leading the procession, stopped, he was a formation mage, and he could see that something was wrong at a glance.

When Lin Dongjiu heard this, his heart beat violently, and the cold sweat on his forehead left in his mouth, and he didn't even notice it.

Yes, he took the little girl in the air that day and could see the magic circle like a big bowl upside down above the village, but now why has the magic circle disappeared?

Lin Dongjiu's heart became more and more uneasy, there was only one possibility for the sudden disappearance of the magic circle, but he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Everyone hastened their pace to the entrance of the village, but there was not a single person on the village road, not even a single poultry.

The silence of the whole village was a little terrible, and all that could be heard was the whining of the wind, as if someone was whispering.

Elder Xu Ming's expression was solemn, and he asked a few disciples to go to the nearest few houses to check on them.

Before these disciples came back, Lin Dongjiu already knew the result, and his divine sense had already swept all the people nearby, and he didn't find a single person.

It was as if all the villagers had moved away, but the farm tools that could be seen everywhere and the clothes that had not been put away in the yard told them that the villagers were still living here.

The disciples soon returned, all shaking their heads and saying that they had not found anyone.

Lan Qiong and Xu Ming glanced at each other and shouted, "All martial law!" Keep up with us and don't leave behind! ”

All the disciples felt faintly uneasy in their hearts, took out their personal weapons, and followed closely behind the two elders for fear of falling behind.

Su Ruxue also took out her saber and walked in front of Lin Dongjiu, she said in a low voice:

"There is a high probability that the magic circle outside the village has been broken by the Demon Temple, and the villagers in the village may have been..."

"Impossible..."

Lin Dongjiu's face instantly turned extremely pale, and he interrupted Su Ruxue's words, as if he was talking to himself:

"It's impossible, the villagers just escaped to avoid the Demon Temple, they will definitely come back when the time comes, they will definitely come back..."

Su Ruxue noticed Lin Dongjiu's abnormality and pushed him:

"Kobayashi... It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

Lin Dongjiu barely squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine..."

But his smile was more ugly than crying, which made Su Ruxue even more uneasy.

The village was a little quiet and eerie, and the more people walked inside, the more they could smell a pungent fishy smell in the air, which was a bit like blood!

"There's a smell of blood in the air!" One of the disciples raised his head and sniffed carefully, and said in a loud voice.

As soon as he said this, several disciples next to him also nodded in agreement.

Elder Xu Ming's original solemn expression had disappeared, replaced by a serious and terrifying expression.

And Elder Lan Qiong clenched his teeth, and his eyes almost erupted with fire.

Everyone had already walked to the center of the village, but the scene in front of them made Lin Dongjiu unforgettable for the rest of his life.

"They're all dead... What the hell is going on..."The disciples below suddenly stirred.

They found the villagers, but they were already dead, and they were so miserable.

More than 300 of these villagers, young and old, were neatly tied to wooden stakes.

Underneath the stake is a huge platform, the corners of which are held high by four boulders.

There is also a stone staircase attached to the platform, which looks like a rudimentary altar when viewed from below.

The corpses of the villagers were shriveled and covered in blood, and their torn clothes were already stained red with blood.

The corpses had been cut open from the heart, and the heart inside had disappeared, replaced by a diamond-shaped black crystal.

The faces of each corpse were blurred with blood, but the hideous and deformed outlines of their faces could still be clearly seen, and one could imagine how painful and desperate they were before they died.

A breeze blew, the smell of blood came to the nostrils, and several disciples who had poor ability to bear it had already begun to vomit, and this kind of bloody visual impact was much greater than simple killing.

Su Ruxue hid behind Lin Dongjiu, she didn't even dare to look at it, she was already afraid of corpses and ghosts, and seeing this strange scene at this time made her even more frightened, and she didn't dare to leave Lin Dongjiu for half a step.
