Chapter Forty-Eight: Blockade
Xie Zhengliu didn't know that the person who owed the debt of the original body still had the idea of this body at this moment.
She just desperately tried her best to disperse the last demonic qi, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief when Feng Yang finished arranging the defensive formation that the sect master had given him.
The transparent barrier completely enveloped the station, and the faint golden light gathered and spread out like water ripples, indicating the particularity of the formation.
Feng Yang set the center of the formation in Yuan Hao's room, and his cultivation was the highest among the people present.
The attack was resolved, and everyone quickly gathered in the lobby of the North Courtyard.
Many people were injured in the attack, and Mingxin found a big house for these people to settle alone, but because there were too many injured people, and they were all seriously injured by demonic qi erosion, the elixir spirit grass brought by Xie Zhengliu and them was quickly consumed.
The rest of them, such as Xie Zhengliu, who were not injured, were called together by Yuan Hao and them to discuss today's matter.
"These demonic qi definitely didn't come out of the cracks!" A male cultivator slammed his fist on the table, making a dull sound, "And those strange black shadows, what is the origin?" Why is it that so many dangerous things suddenly appeared in the city, and we didn't notice anything unusual during the day? ”
The tall Ming He still had the blood of his fellow disciples on his body, and his former honest face was a little more serious and calm at the moment: "There is nothing strange in the city during the day, and only those who hold tokens can freely enter and exit the Crying Ghost City over the years." But what can cause such a big mess tonight is obviously in ambush in the Crying Ghost City for a long time. Who was it that could escape the control of the formation at the gate of the city and make such a huge arrangement in the Crying Ghost City? ”
And those ghostly black shadows, what is the origin?
"Those dark shadows are weird too." Mingxin, who had just dealt with the wounded, poured a sip of tea into his mouth, "I counted the people who were caught by the black shadow in the chaos before, and found that they were all motionless as if they had lost their souls, just with their eyes open, neither speaking nor moving, as if they were dead. ”
When everyone listened to Mingxin's words, their already ugly faces instantly turned whiter.
"So where the hell did all this come from?!" Someone collapsed.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, and Xie Zhengliu and the three of them sat in the corner observing everyone's expressions.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Xie Zhengliu spoke: "Have you ever thought that maybe the guy who created this chaos came from under the cracks?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the whole room were cast at her.
Xie Zhengliu was not stage frightened, and continued: "If it is really like what I just said, that guy can pass through the seal of Crying Ghost City, he is naturally a powerful demon clan. A demon like this itself carries a huge amount of demonic energy, and the more high-level the demon, the easier it is to give birth to special abilities. Maybe those dark shadows are his special abilities. ”
This information is not a secret, most of the people present are monks who have been stationed in Ghost Crying City for many years, and of course they already know a lot about the demons.
It's just that before Xie Zhengliu spoke, no one dared to think in this direction. After all, in the past so many years, only low-level demons who could not transform into human form could pass through the seal.
And the low-level demons have already made them suffer heavy losses, if there is really a high-level demon clan in the city, the consequences will ......
The crowd didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Of course, this is just my speculation, and we still need to investigate the truth of the matter. I don't think it's a good idea to stay in the station all the time, I'm afraid we'll have to find a way to go out and explore. Xie Zhengliu broke the silence in the room again.
Fortunately, the rest of them were only briefly decadent for a while, and they quickly regained their spirits.
As the leader of the team, Yuan Hao took the initiative to stand up and began to give orders: "Now there are three hours left before dawn, everyone will rest for a while." When the time came, we divided into several teams and quietly went out to explore, looking for medicine by the way. ”
Previously, Mingxin had already told them that there were not many pills left in the station, and those disciples who had been attacked by the black shadow could only feed the Rejuvenation Pill for the time being because they couldn't find out where the damage was. But even so, the rest of the drugs won't last long.
Feng Yang and the others had notified Heng Tianzong as soon as the accident happened, but to their disappointment, the messenger in their hands was as if it was broken, and no news could be sent.
It can be said that they have now completely lost contact with the outside world and can only rely on themselves for the time being.
Everyone had no objection to Yuan Hao's arrangement, Xie Zhengliu pulled Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian to rest urgently for three hours, and then was woken up by Yuan Hao and others.
At this moment, the sky is still dark, not to mention the sun, not even a star in the sky.
Those who were still looking forward to the dawn instantly extinguished the fire, and one of the senior brothers who had studied the formation method also said: "I'm afraid that someone has done something to the formation at the city gate, in the past, that formation only restricted the people who entered and exited, and now that formation has probably become a tool for the evildoers to trap us here." ”
The formation at the gate of the city was the most outstanding work of a tenth-order formation master, and it was finally obtained by the first city lord at a huge price.
Once the formation was activated, no one in the entire city could break it.
However, even if he knew this, when Yuan Hao began to send people to investigate around, some people still took the initiative to choose to go to the city gate to have a look.
Xie Zhengliu and the three of them were arranged to follow Minghe to Dongcheng District, where most of the people living there were mortals, and they were less dangerous than other areas.
Yuan Hao led a group of people to Zhongcheng District to investigate, and by the way, he had to go to the stations of other sects to whisper about their situation.
And because Feng Yang is the controller of the formation, he can't leave for the time being.
He carefully opened a gap in the formation, allowing Xie Zhengliu and them to squeeze out with difficulty.
Before these people left, Feng Yang specially advised: "Be careful, whether you find useful news or not, you must come back before dark." ”
Everyone nodded their heads in response, and then exchanged a few words of encouragement, and then they scattered and parted.
There is silence in Dongcheng District, and the bustle of the previous days is completely gone, only a bright light makes this place barely retain a bit of popularity.
Xie Zhengliu and the four of them quickly shuttled through the room, but when they looked around, they were all people who were as still as statues. In addition to these, there is no one who can move in the entire Dongcheng District.
That's very wrong.
Xie Zhengliu was muttering in her heart, and suddenly there was a noise in the room she was exploring. She turned her head sharply to look over, and saw that the wooden basin that had been blocking the rice bowl had been pushed down by something.
The rice jar was very large, probably to protect it from moisture, so it was erected on a low wooden shelf. Originally, the top of the rice bowl was not only covered with a wooden basin, but also covered with a few wooden boards.
Now the tub has fallen, and only the planks remain on it.
Xie Zhengliu walked towards the rice jar and tightened the handle of the long knife.
The next second, she suddenly lifted the wooden board and looked over, and saw a little girl hiding in the rice bowl looking at her in horror with a small flower face full of tears.
