Chapter 42: The Slaughtered Town
The three cultivators in the retreat were all above the early stage of foundation building, and although they were in a hurry, if they didn't want mortals to see it, everyone in the caravan would still not notice it.
"Damn, that demon actually slaughtered another town, if you don't eradicate him, when his magic treasure is refined, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with......"
Several people flew over the convoy, and the middle-aged man with a hint of bookish breath like a talent wanted to glance at it, but the words of the female cultivator next to him made him lose his mood anymore.
"Senior Sister Han is right, the evil cultivator demon surnamed Duan was originally only in the middle stage of foundation building, and the three of us together were enough to capture him, but if his Thousand Soul Banner was completed, the situation would have to be reversed. ”
As soon as the palace woman's voice fell, the eldest of the three Dao robed old men spoke like this, and as they spoke, they had already fled away at a fast speed.
Although he didn't hear the voices of several people talking, because the situation was unknown, Xiao Wenzi didn't dare to leave the truck easily.
Unaware of the fact that there were high-level immortal cultivators flying by, the caravan continued to rush forward, but as they approached the town in front of them, they also discovered that something was wrong.
Qingliu Town, living by the water, the environment is pleasant, although it is not a large town with a population of more than 10,000, but it is usually very noisy and lively, but today how quiet is a little scary.
"Dead people, a lot of dead people. ”
"What the hell is going on? How are they all dead. ”
Stopping on the stone road at the entrance to the town, everyone in the caravan was stunned by what they saw, and they muttered to themselves like a dream, and their bodies could not help but tremble.
Dozens of corpses lying in pools of blood, either with different heads, or with sharp blades piercing the heart, and severed arms, were scattered in pools of blood, and this was only at the entrance to the town.
As far as the eye can see, the streets of the entire Qingliu Town are full of corpses, men, women and children, and the smell of blood is disgusting.
"Who did it so ruthlessly? This town is full of ordinary civilians, even if it is a vicious horse thief, it will not kill everyone......
Wait, these people's wounds are extremely deep, but the incisions are very smooth, they can't be caused by swords in the world at all, could it be some immortal cultivators who cultivate evil skills?"
Xiao Wenzi also saw the tragic situation in Qingliu Town, and muttered in his heart, but compared to the mortal warriors in the caravan, he was still relatively calm.
In addition, the demon sense can more easily detect the wounds of the deceased, and soon, Xiao Wenzi saw some clues, and the answers to his guesses were already eight or nine.
"Don't look at it, you can't stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time, move the corpses that are in the way, let's go quickly. ”
After a short period of fear and hesitation, the middle-aged man in charge of the caravan immediately commanded.
"Yes, the master. ”
There are too many corpses here, and even if they have the intention of burying them, they are powerless, and at most they will report the matter to the yamen after arriving in the county seat.
Therefore, no one argues with the claims of middle-aged people.
A few men agreed, bent down to move the corpses that stood in the way, and the rest of the people quickly followed with the reins.
In this way, the group walked into the town tremblingly, and slowly walked towards the other end.
Only by casting the forbidden escape technique can he temporarily get rid of his opponent, and after the evil cultivator surnamed Duan in the mouth of the old man in the Taoist robe killed and collected his soul, he did not dare to stay in place at all.
Therefore, the carriages and horses in the caravan crossed Qingliu Town, which can be said to be dangerous.
If the blood of mortals exceeds a certain time, they can no longer suck the exchange system currency, and Xiao Wenzi has no intention of breaking away from the convoy and taking the opportunity to reap the benefits.
Moreover, the blood of such a wrongfully deceased person is ominous, and it is easy to provoke karma, and even if he can eat it, he will feel uneasy.
Finally, the chariot and horse left the corpse-strewn town of Qingliu and continued to march in the direction of the misty swamp.
Of course, the destination of this caravan was only a hundred miles away in the county seat, and if he wanted to go to the Misty Swamp, he had to find another hitchhiker.
As an evil cultivator in the foundation building period, he was able to escape from the hands of three cultivators of the same rank, and the guy surnamed Duan must have a very cunning mind, and he would not always run away in the same direction.
Therefore, on the next journey, the caravan did not encounter the slaughtered villages and towns again, and after a few hours, they successfully arrived at Qingyuan City.
Qingyuan City was just a county seat like Jaw County, and after entering the city, the owner of the caravan ordered his men to go and report to the official, and he took the rest of the people to start unloading the goods.
Xiao Wenzi had quietly broken away from the convoy before this.
His purpose was only to go to the misty swamp where there might be low-level immortal cultivators, the so-called evil cultivators slaughtering villages and towns, and whether the county keeper would send someone to investigate, all of which had little to do with him.
Xiao Wenzi planned very well, find a secluded place to rest tonight, and continue to take a hitchhike tomorrow.
Anyway, when he broke through to the late stage of the third layer of heaven, he was able to maintain his body functions by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth alone, and he didn't need to smoke berry juice to supplement his hunger at all.
In a short period of time, rumors spread like a plague, and the next day there was not a single carriage out of the city, and people all cowered in the city to seek self-protection.
There was no way, Xiao Wenzi, who had been waiting until the third pole of the sun, had to spread his wings and fly away from Qingyuan City alone.
"Hey~~, why did it start snowing, is the winter of this world coming so soon?"
Qingyuan City was less than five hundred miles away from the Misty Swamp, and Xiao Wenzi originally thought that even if he didn't have a hitchhiker, he could fly directly there.
However, on the fourth day after he left Qingyuan City, snowflakes suddenly fell on the silent wilderness, and then the sun, which was not too hot, hid in the thick clouds, and the sky and earth were gloomy.
The biting cold wind hit, Xiao Wenzi couldn't help but shiver, he hurriedly ran his cultivation with all his might, and the demon spirit power flowed all over his body to drive away the cold qi, and he couldn't help but feel a little hazy in his heart.
It seems that mosquitoes are indeed not suitable for winter activities, it has just snowed, and they are already a little unable to resist, if the weather is really getting colder and colder, the demon spirit power will definitely be consumed sharply.
Fortunately, there are still three or four thousand ordinary system coins, which can be exchanged for Demon Spirit Dew to supplement cultivation, otherwise Xiao Wenzi is afraid that he will immediately find a warm cave and stop sleeping.
After all, if you don't travel a long distance, the heaven and earth aura absorbed by cultivation is enough to maintain consumption, and it is not too late to wait until the beginning of spring next year to find the little monk.
"Wait, that's not right, this shouldn't be a natural phenomenon, is it?"
Seeing the snowflakes falling, Xiao Wenzi preconceived the judgment that the harsh winter was coming, but he soon discovered that something was wrong.
Because the scope of the snow was a little weird, there were snowflakes sprinkled in front of him, and there was not a trace of snowflakes falling dozens of meters behind him.
Moreover, in front of him is the southeast of Tiannan County, which is correspondingly warmer than the northwest, and even if it snows, it should fall first in the north.
