Chapter 63: The Silence Before the Night
Sanssouci and the others ran back to Sanssouci Town all the way, only to see dozens of demon beasts lying at the entrance of the town, Ma Heng and the guards in the town were dealing with the corpses of demon beasts, and the gathered beast blood formed a stream, dyeing the bluestone platform red, and the heavy smell of blood permeated the entire Sanssouci Town, and the choked onlookers burst into tears.
"These days, the invasion of demon beasts is becoming more and more frequent, what did these demon beasts do before? ”
Ma Heng didn't think too much about it, and after seeing Wuwu coming back, he greeted him warmly, and continued to be busy with his subordinates.
After Wu Wu and Lingyu separated, they went back to the house directly to find Su Haoyuan, what happened today was full of suspicions, and there was always a bad premonition.
"Bang!bang!"
"Come in!" Su Haoyuan's voice sounded in the room.
"Second grandfather ......" Wuwu told Su Haoyuan in detail what happened today, and finally summarized his views.
"Second grandfather, does this indicate that there will be a beast tide coming?"
"I know what you said, if the prediction is correct, there will be a beast tide in a few days, but you don't have to worry too much, we are ready, according to the previous rules, Sanssouci Town will not encounter too big a beast tide, the main force of the beast tide will go to Sikong City, and our three major sects in the Cold Domain will send some disciples to help. ”
Hearing Su Haoyuan's words, worry-free was a little calm, it seemed that the town had already begun to prepare, but he was too worried.
"How have you been cultivating lately?" Su Haoyuan stopped what he was doing and asked.
"There is a period of time before you can impact the seventh layer of the Refining Yuan Realm, and you can spit out venom, but every time you use this move, it will take a long time to recover, so it can't be used easily. ”
"That's because you don't have a poison pill, just like water without roots, of course, there is no endless source of energy, and after you break through the foundation building realm, the second grandfather will give you a gift. Su Haoyuan said mysteriously.
"What kind of gift? I'll take a look" Worry-free heard that there was a gift, his eyes lit up, and the monkey said anxiously.
"It's not done yet, but I'll give it to you when the time comes"
"So what's the use of what you say now?"
"Isn't it to make your heart tickle?"
"Ugh!"
"Don't be stunned, the medicine tripod at the door has prepared a medicinal bath, this time the toxicity is more violent, the old rule, you are not allowed to come out without a stick of incense. Su Haoyuan drove Wu Wu out.
Worry-free snorted and jumped into the medicine pod, "This bit of venom is not enough for me to stuff between my teeth, I will change it to water for you in minutes"
The meridians seemed to understand Wuwu's words, and this time they absorbed the venom faster than before, and when Wuwu dressed up and returned to the house, Su Haoyuan went out to check it before he was sure that Wuwu was indeed finished.
What has happened in Sanssouci Town these days has also been staged in the surrounding villages and towns, Meihuazhuang and Luzhuang will also have demon beasts from time to time, and they have begun to prepare for the next beast tide.
Mayor Li issued a proclamation prohibiting all kinds of hunting squads, traders, or individuals from going to the Luoqiu Mountains, and the surrounding villages could temporarily stay in Sanssouci Town and return after the beast tide had passed.
Ordinary people have a limited lifespan, and many people have never experienced the beast tide, and they heard that there will be a beast tide attack, which makes people panic, and finally is suppressed by the combined efforts of the three major families in the town.
Three Taoist priests in white robes showing off yin and yang gossip and carrying swords on their backs were slowly walking towards Sanssouci Town.
"It's really unlucky, why did you arrange us to be in this place where birds don't?" The person who spoke was a young Taoist priest in his twenties who was in his twenties, wearing Luoxia's hair in a bun, and was complaining impatiently.
"Rain, don't complain, this is just a formality, wait for this matter, the rewards in the courtyard will not be less. "The leader is an older middle-aged Taoist priest with a square face, but his eyes are cloudy, and he is a mid-Yuan Dan realm cultivator, and he is not angry and arrogant when he speaks.
The Taoist priest, known as Falling Rain, pursed his lips and quieted down.
"Frightening, why don't you speak?"
"Back to Senior Brother Zhengyin, Master has his own reason for arranging us to come here, and besides, it is very good to come out to ventilate after not going out of the mountain gate for a long time, and besides, I have the opportunity to ask Senior Brother Zhengyin some questions about cultivation, why not?"
Zhengyin heard the words of the frightened wind, nodded with satisfaction, it seems that patting sycophants can be used anywhere.
Ma Heng saw several Taoist priests walking towards Sanssouci Town, and seeing its extraordinary momentum, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly greeted him, and when he got closer, he found that the leader was a Yuan Dan Realm monk, and he didn't dare to slack off.
"I've seen a few Taoist leaders," Ma Heng said respectfully.
Without waiting for Zhengyin to reply, Luo Yu preemptively said arrogantly, "We were sent by the Taichu Courtyard, let your town mayor come out to visit." ”
"Senior brother is more impulsive, please take us to meet Mayor Li," Zhengyin said politely.
Ma Heng led the way in front, and a few people walked on the streets of the town, and the pedestrians couldn't help but look at Zhengyin and the others carefully.
"A group of hillbillies, even if they are eaten by demon beasts, they can still save food. Luo Yu said with disdain.
Zhengyin walked in front, his eyes narrowed slightly, for this junior brother who had contradicted him many times, if it weren't for his grandfather being an elder of the outer gate, he would have slapped him to death a long time ago.
After Ma Heng took the three of them to the mayor's house, he turned around and left, and Mayor Li had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"A few distinguished guests from the Taichu Courtyard, please come inside!" Mayor Li invited the three of them into the back room to talk, and the tea had already been warmed.
"I've received the news from Taichu Hospital, count the itinerary, the three of them should also arrive today, the beast tide is coming, and I have to ask a few people to take care of it, the environment in the town is not as good as Taichu Hospital, a few grievances, after this matter, we will definitely report the kindness of a few people." ”
"The mayor of the town has said it, this time it is also a practice for us, and we are bothered" Zhengyin saw Mayor Li for the first time, and he couldn't see through Mayor Li's cultivation for a while, and he couldn't help but put away his contempt, and even the rain was surprisingly quiet and didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"This Mayor Li is not simple!" is a dark comment.
After Mayor Li settled the three of them, he walked outside the house with his hands behind his back and looked at the mountains in the distance, his face was sad and could not be dissolved, and finally he could only sigh.
Sanssouci Town is surprisingly quiet these days, and there is no more demon beast infestation, and many people are wondering if the beast tide will not come, but in private, no one dares to relax, and even makes long-lasting preparations.
The city wall outside the town has been raised a lot, and there are all kinds of traps under the wall, and when the demon beast attacks, all the monks in the town will fight, and I don't know how many people will die by then?
Worry-free has been cultivating hard these days, hoping that he can break through as soon as possible, so that he will have more strength and self-preservation.
Finally feeling a slight loosening of the cultivation bottleneck, he took out the jade smoked fruit given by Su Haoyuan, and prepared to break through to the seventh layer of the Refining Yuan Realm in one go.
"I used some juice for this jade smoked fruit, and I hope the remaining medicinal power is enough. ”
Opened his mouth and swallowed the jade smoke fruit into his abdomen, a warm current filled his limbs and hundreds of remains, and he hurriedly calmed down and guided this Yuan Force into the dantian.
At the same time, thousands of miles away from Sanssouci Town, the black demon beast could not see the edge at a glance, and where it passed, the earth shook and the mountains were full of devastation.
