Chapter Eighty-Seven: I Am the Answer

After Li Xiao entered the ancient city, he received the task.

Hidden Mission: Investigate the secrets of the destruction of the ancient city.

According to records, the ancient city originally lived 100,000 people.

One day it was suddenly destroyed, and the entire city disappeared into thin air.

But sometimes it will appear in some places inexplicably, like a normal and prosperous city.

Many people strayed into it and never came out again.

And now the task is to investigate the secret of the destruction of the ancient city.

Li Xiao rubbed the corners of his forehead, "It's this kind of task that requires a waste of time and energy......"

What annoys him the most is this kind of task like investigation and decryption.

However, some of the larger ghosts have the most such tasks.

As soon as Li Xiao's divine sense swept away, he knew that the people in this city were all strange.

The scenes created by the strange rules can be fake, but they are always fake.

Just like those NPCs in the movie copy, I'm afraid even they don't know that they are weird,

But what is fake is always fake.

It stands to reason that with Li Xiao's divine sense cultivation, the two-star ghost dragon has nothing to hide from him.

This kind of thing that needs to be deciphered can be easily found after scanning it with the divine sense.

But the weird rule has a setting, that is, the plot is not refreshed.

It's disgusting.

It's like the game doesn't load new NPCs and maps, and you can't find them no matter how you look for them.

So no matter how strong his divine sense is, he can't find the answer directly.

This annoyed Li Xiao.

He grabbed a few passers-by and began to inquire about the ancient city.

But there was little to gain.

It's just that I've heard that strange things often happen after dark in the ancient city recently.

Like the crying on the city wall or something.

In this way, it is really not a matter of a day or two for him to investigate clearly.

This made him angry in his heart, and evil grew in his guts.

He slowly floated up from the spot, suspended in midair.

The people around looked at this scene in amazement.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, a big black hand fell from the sky.

Boom bang,

A restaurant was smashed to pieces along with the people inside.

The people around were in an instant uproar, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

Li Xiao smiled and kept patting his big black hands from the air.

In the loud bang, there were houses and streets that were smashed all over the place.

Of course, many of the city's citizens who fled in all directions were also smashed together.

After these citizens were smashed,

Flesh and blood are scattered, and they are extremely miserable,

However, Li Xiao used his blood skills, but he couldn't absorb the essence and blood of these guys.

In other words, these seemingly normal guys are not normal people at all.

Sure enough, the flesh and blood kept wriggling and melted into the ground.

The people around them panicked and ran in all directions, scrambling for their lives.

Li Xiao also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

That is, no matter how they escape, they will not think of escaping from the city.

The city gate over there had already been opened by Li Xiao before.

Li Xiao had some kind of guess, took out the Soul Devouring Banner, and shook it gently.

The jingle bell rings,

But it didn't absorb anything.

After those guys died, they didn't even have a soul.

He stopped talking nonsense and shook the Soul Eater Banner directly.

Green Poison reluctantly appeared, "Boss, I want to get a good night's sleep, why did you call me out again......"

Li Xiao scolded, "Are you a pig?" One day I only know to eat and sleep, sleep and eat......"

Green Poison muttered, "Didn't I just help you catch an aunt to go in, where did you eat, sleep, and eat all day......"

His power, in addition to being highly poisonous, is the curse of gluttony.

As long as you have something to eat, you can increase your strength.

The more powerful something is, the faster it grows.

Of course, this ability also has a disadvantage, that is, you have to eat at any time, otherwise you will be so hungry that you can't move.

And even if you eat all the time, there is a bottleneck to growth.

As a two-star weird boss, Green Poison is already the limit when it grows to the top of the two-star.

If you want to continue to become stronger, you can only be promoted to three stars.

However, the weird hierarchy is very strict, and it is much more difficult to get promoted to the star level than players or even monks.

There are a variety of demanding conditions that need to be met.

Li Xiao said, "I'll let you go today, do you see this city full of people?" You can let go and eat as much as you want......"

Green Poison's eyes lit up, "Really, boss?" Thank you, Boss......"

For the current treatment, he is actually quite satisfied.

Every time he came out to work, Li Xiao would feed him some food.

In the past, as a ghost boss, almost all of his subordinates were eaten by him.

And because of the rules of the ghost, you can't get out of the ghost, at most you go to a place like the murderous hotel to relax.

That's like now, follow the boss everywhere to eat and drink spicy food.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the green poison treacherous shouted cheers and rushed out.

Li Xiao said coldly, "If there is no one left in the whole city, kill me!" ”

The other enslaved Yin Ghosts in the Soul Eater Banner also rushed out with a roar.

Suddenly, the ghost cried and howled, the gloomy atmosphere was thick, and the sky was full of black fog.

Li Xiao floated in mid-air, "Since I can't find the answer, then I'll be the answer......

Isn't it for him to find the secret and reason for the destruction of the ancient city?

As long as he destroys the ancient city,

The secret and the reason are not just found.

The truth is that there is a demon cultivator in this city who does not speak of martial virtues.

After failing to complete the task, he became angry and destroyed the ancient city.

At that time, it will depend on whether the rules of the ghost snake recognize this answer.

Don't recognize? It doesn't matter, as long as you can force the ghost boss out and capture it, it's not a loss.

So he turned into the Great Demon King and began to carry out a brutal and inhumane extermination of the entire ancient city.

As he unleashed many ghosts, the entire city was thrown into chaos.

It's okay for the ghosts, they just tore those people apart and killed them,

And this guy is directly devouring the target.

As more and more people were killed,

The whole ancient city began to feel wrong, rumbling and shaking slightly.

After Li Xiao sensed the change, he smiled, "It's good that there is a change, I'm afraid that you will be calm and haven't moved...... Speed up and kill me!! ”

He gave orders,

After receiving the order, the Green Poison Treacher released a large area of highly poisonous green mist.

As soon as this weapon of mass destruction is released, even the people of the city who are hiding in the corners will not be able to escape death.

And Li Xiao flew in mid-air, releasing his divine sense to scan around,

When I scanned a living target, I was directly slapped by a big sinister hand.

With a rumbling sound, deep pits in the shape of huge palms appeared.

In this way, even if you hide in the basement, you will be directly shot to death.

At this time, the ancient city was full of wails and screams.

Torn apart by the Yin Spirit, corroded by the poisonous mist, devoured, crushed,

It's so miserable, it's purgatory on earth.

Of course, Li Xiao knew that this was not the world, it was just a ghost made up by some weirdness.

He did this to force out the real weird boss.

Sure enough, after Li Xiao killed the last living creature,

Something I couldn't stand it anymore and showed up.

I saw that a large number of buildings began to collapse on their own.

With a loud rumbling sound, large swaths of the ground began to collapse.

The sound of whining began to resound throughout the ancient city.

Gray-black raindrops began to fall in the sky.

The ancient city is dead,

Someone is crying about it.

The cry is so moving,

Except for the whimpering and ticking raindrops, there was no other sound.

The Yin Ghosts who were still killing excitedly just now all stood in place, looking up at the sky.

Including the foodie Green Poison.

Li Xiao also involuntarily looked up at the sky,

The rain dripped down his face like tears.

A sad mood filled his heart for no apparent reason.

It made him want to cry along with that whining voice.

Suddenly he came to his senses, "Damn, it's affected by the curse......"

He looked at the ghosts he had unleashed,

I saw that many of the weaker ones had burst into tears, and they were about to be assimilated.

Li Xiao's heart sank, and he hurriedly shook the Soul Devouring Banner and collected many Yin Ghosts.

After the green poison came back, he came to his senses and scolded, "Damn, what happened to me just now? How can you feel guilty about eating so much? It shouldn't be......"

Li Xiao scolded, "Idiot, aren't you a two-star elite boss yourself, you should be at the same level as this ancient city boss, even if you are suppressed by ghosts, you shouldn't be so easy to hit, right?" ”

Green Poison clawed his head, "I don't know, maybe it's because I ate too many of those things, those things are hard to digest, and they have been drilling in my stomach, and I want to go back to ......"

Li Xiao said, "Sure enough, these citygoers are not just NPCs, but a certain ability of this ghost boss, if you eat it, it will naturally affect you, but he has lost so many things, I guess he can't sit still......"

At this moment, the whole city shook violently.

Some new structures are beginning to emerge from the collapsed ground.

These buildings are completely different from the quaint castles of the past.

Dark, crazy, twisted, these buildings are synonymous.

It's like they're made up of a body,

Bones are beams, flesh is mud, and these twisted buildings are shaped.

Layers of white bones appeared in deep pits in the ground,

Large patches of black shadows emerged from all directions.

The ancient city is dead,

Alive.

In other words, the ancient city has been given a new lease of life.

And those dark shadows are the real inhabitants of the ancient city.

Li Xiao destroyed the original ancient city,

Let it show its true face.

But his mission was not completed.

He grimaced, "Are you unwilling to admit my answer, or is it that the destruction is not complete enough?" ”

Then the whole ancient city began to wail,

It was a cry just now, and now it's a terrible wailing curse.

Those black shadows stretched out their hands and swiped towards the sky,

They want to break free from the shackles of the ancient city.

At this time, Li Xiao received another task.

Hidden Mission: The inhabitants of the ancient city are eager to break free and help everyone break free.

"Huh? Also got a mission? Helping residents break free? Putting them in my Soul Eater Banner is also a way to free them from the shackles of the ancient city, right? ”

Since there is a task, then what is there to hesitate about.

He took out the Soul Eater Banner and shook it at the dark shadows.

As the bell rang out, a pulling force began to pull the shadows into the Eater of Souls.

But a stronger force binds those dark shadows,

He couldn't even pull him.

Li Xiao snorted coldly, and the Black Soul Sword flew out, slashing towards the black lines that were pulling many residents.

But the black thread is extremely tough, and even if it is cut, it will stick up again.

Li Xiao frowned and said, "It's really troublesome, is it to find some tricks?" ”

At this time, the green poison who was watching the lively on the sidelines said,

"Boss, after I ate those things just now and digested them, I vaguely saw some pictures and information......"

Li Xiao said unhappily, "You still have this kind of soul-searching ability?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Green Poison hurriedly said, "I didn't necessarily see everything I ate before, but this time I ate a little too much, I didn't think much about it just now, I heard you say what tricks you were looking for, so I thought about whether it would be useful......

Li Xiao grabbed his head and "pass the picture to ......"

So through his divine sense, he saw the images and messages from the Green Poison Trick.

This is a castle called Cowtown.

Everything was calm,

Then a goddess came down from heaven,

The goddess married a young man named Sun Shouyi in the city and lived together.

The two love each other, the couple is deeply affectionate, and envy others.

Suddenly, one day, calamity and curse fell from heaven, enveloping the entire city.

Some people say that it was the goddess who caused the curse,

Because she secretly united with mortals, she angered the gods.

People angrily ran to look for the goddess and found that both the goddess had died tragically at home.

And the curse flourished,

Everyone was trapped in the city and had to die a miserable death in a curse.

The picture is very broken, and it took Li Xiao a lot of effort to piece it together into a fairly complete story.

"So, this is the truth about the destruction of the ancient city? Then why haven't I completed the first hidden quest yet? ”

The first hidden mission is for him to investigate the secrets of the destruction of the ancient city.

Now through the green poison devouring the inhabitants of the ancient city, he learned how the ancient city was destroyed,

But the task was not completed.

Li Xiao frowned and said, "Could it be that this is not actually the truth, and there is another hidden truth in it?" Then you must first find the goddess or the guy in these dark shadows, and you should be able to figure out the truth...... Hey, that's a hassle......"

He was really troublesome, but the two hidden tasks were right in front of him, and he couldn't talk about it if he didn't take it.

Mainly until now, he hasn't seen the ghost boss come out,

Otherwise, you can just catch the boss and run.

He instructed, "Green Poison, find out the goddess for me, you have her picture information, check it to find ......"

After receiving the order, the Green Poison Treacher and Li Xiao split up and began to look for the goddess who might be hiding in the many dark shadows.

After the ancient city showed its true form, it became even larger, full of twisted ruins and inhabitants.

Many residents of the ancient city were wailing and weeping at this time, and they were extremely miserable.

This wailing curse had an impact on Li Xiao's divine sense.

The reason why he almost cried just now was because his divine consciousness was released and invaded.

Now he doesn't dare to release his divine sense, so he can only use his naked eyes to look around for the trace of the goddess.

He walked among the many strange inhabitants, "If you want to get out of trouble, tell me where the goddess is......"

But the inhabitants were only resentful and wanted to take him as a companion.

Li Xiao waved his hand impatiently and slapped many residents away, and continued to look forward.

At this moment, a figure standing on the platform of the ruins appeared in front of him,

The figure didn't howl or cry, just quietly looked up at the sky.

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, "This should be the goddess, right?" ”
