Soon, another tragic incident spread quickly in the town, and people began to discuss it loudly in panic, and some people even began to pack up their packages and leave the town immediately.

There have been three tragic deaths in a row, the originally small town has become bloody and deserted, more than a dozen families have been bloodied, turned into pools of blood, taking advantage of the dawn, more and more people hurriedly fled out of the town.

Even in the courtyard of the more than a dozen people who died tragically, no one was willing to go over to clean up the corpses.

The fog slowly dissipated as dawn came. For a while, there were only a few old people left in the town who did not want to leave.

An old man with a white beard approached Xiuyu and the others, who was the mayor of the town, and asked them why they were still in the town.

Xiu Yu briefly told the old man about the tragedy at night, saying that there might be a ghost mutilating the living beings, and they wanted to stay and arrest this evil spirit.

All day, Xiuyu spent the whole day in self-blame.

After Zi Mo finished meditating and pranayama, he comforted Xiuyu:

"Actually, you don't have to feel guilty, even if it's me, it's impossible to face the Phantom directly, and thanks to its target is not the two of us, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape its ghost claws!"

Zi Mo said: "The phantom is a legendary murderous creature, its body is like a shadow, fast as lightning, it likes to cruelly torture creatures, and devours the essence and blood of living beings, so as to increase its strength, in this remote village and town, it is simply a disaster to encounter this kind of murderous spirit that has disappeared for a long time!"

"I've read some words in the classics, and every time the phantom appears, it's often accompanied by a great terror, a massacre, and where it appears, it's often a tragedy. ”

Xiu Yu raised his head, his tired expression full of self-reproach, and he asked, "What is its strength, what kind of cultivation is needed to sanction it!?"

Zi Mo thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "According to records, the lowest level of power of the phantom is the fifth order of qi refining, yesterday I looked at the black qi and speed around the phantom, and its power level, I am afraid that it will take at least a sixth-order qi refiner to fight against it." ”

"Sixth Order?"

"Hehe..."Xiu Yu laughed at himself, so far, he hasn't even stepped into the first order of qi refining, what can he do to fight with the ghost things of the sixth order of qi refining, the funny thing is that he was stupid to squat at such a fierce thing before, and now it seems that he is almost sure to die.

Seeing that Xiu Yu's face was mocking and blaming himself, Zi Mo groaned for a while, and then said:

"Actually, maybe I can fight with the Phantom, but now that my injuries have not healed, and my realm has fallen to the fourth order, I am afraid that I will inevitably lose my life - if only my purple sword was here, it will have a certain restraint effect on such a murderous thing. ”

Xiu Yu knew that Zi Mo's purple soft sword was lost in the Rock Dragon Cave.

He walked to the town, turned his back to Zi Mo and said: "The matter has come to this, the phantom is not something we can deal with, let's hurry back to the bamboo forest and take the old man out of here, as for the rest of the people in the town, you make it clear to them, let them also take advantage of the fact that the sky is not dark, leave the town quickly, and run for their lives." ”

The two divided their labor and dispersed one after another.

.........

Far away in the mountains to the east of the town, there is wolf smoke everywhere, and the jungle is lonely and desolate, and it is difficult to see a little life.

Somewhere on the mountain, a cave is hidden behind a stone wall.

The cave was dark and damp, covered with moss, the sound of dripping water was crisp and harsh, and from time to time there was a ghostly cry from the cave, the sound was like a screaming demon, and the harshness was extremely terrifying.

Inside the cave, the black gas was swirling, the ghost was floating, a coffin with four chains hung in the center of the cave, and the dark phantom turned into a cloud of black gas, accompanied by the ghostly sound of whining into the coffin.

In the evening, Zi Mo returned to the bamboo house from the town.

"Most of the people in the town have already left, and only a few old people look down on life and death, and they are too old to go out of the town. ”

Xiu Yu had just come out of the kitchen, and after hearing this, he nodded.

He called the old man out for dinner.

On the stone table, the three of them each held a dish, Xiu Yu looked at the dim sky, and said to the old man:

"Grandpa, the situation is critical now, you better follow us......"

The old man just calmly ate the food and pecked at a glass of wine, looking no more like he had panicked two days ago.

Xiu Yu sighed silently, and sure enough, the old man was the same as most of the old people in the town, and he was reluctant to leave the town.

Perhaps, after living a long time, some things have already been seen through.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks early, the old man went into the house to rest.

Xiu Yu and Zi Mo also returned to the bamboo house to rest tiredly.

The bamboo forest gradually became secluded, and as the sky became late, a touch of cold breath appeared in the forest.

In the middle of the night, Xiu Yu felt unusually uncomfortable in his brain, as if he had some kind of ominous premonition about to happen.

He tossed and turned, and after several thoughts, he finally opened the bamboo window and looked outside.

The bamboo forest became eerie, and at some point, wisps of mist had shrouded the bamboo forest.

Xiuyu's expression changed drastically, when did the fog in the town come to the bamboo forest?

Could it be that the people in the town are gone, and the Phantom has come to find them?

Seeing that the fog was almost within reach, Xiu Yu ran out of the bamboo house in a panic and rushed to the old man's room.

The old man's doors and windows were opened!

There was a panic in his heart, Xiu Yu only felt a chill down his spine, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

Why were the old man's doors and windows opened on this big night?

He almost trembled and walked slowly to the old man's door...... The next scene he saw almost made him feel faint, and even his breathing seemed to stop......

A shadow dressed in tattered black clothes and surrounded by black gas was crawling on the ground, sniffing the old man who had fallen to the ground, a terrifying long claw, and pulled out a bloody heart in the old man's chest, and the old man had already cut off his breath......

Xiu Yu stood at the door suffocating, witnessing the scene of the old man's heart being dug out, and his body was indescribably cold.

He stood stiffly in the doorway, the phantom devouring the old man's heart, and when he turned his eyes, a pair of dark green and terrifying pupils revealed a terrifying green light, dazzling.

Xiu Yu seemed to have forgotten to move, and even a finger couldn't lift his strength for a short time!

The phantom's mouth made a difficult sound, and it was like a pitch-black shadow, turning into a black lightning bolt, and one claw grabbed at Xiuyu.

Xiuyu's pupils shrink infinitely!

The Phantom's speed is too fast, and its claws overflow with terrifying paint!

At the last moment, just when Xiu Yu was about to be plucked out by the phantom ghost claw, Zi Mo's figure suddenly appeared, and she shot a purple light in her palm to fight against the phantom ghost claw.

The two flew upside down and landed in the courtyard.

Zi Mo, who understood the general situation, shouted anxiously:

"Don't be stunned, run away, I'm no match for it!"

Xiu Yu woke up in an instant, and under the pull of Zi Mo, he quickly fled towards the bamboo forest without looking back.

"Tsk..."

"Boom..."

The terrifying phantom sound came from the house, and a cloud of black gas shuttled rapidly through the bamboo forest, approaching the two of them.

Feeling the cold and piercing bones behind them, the speed of the two of them rose by three points again, and they fled wildly in the bamboo forest!

"Boom... Howl..."

The phantom turned into black gas, and the speed was terrifying, like the sound of thousands of ghosts howling terrifyingly, and it was about to catch up with the two of them......

"Damn..."

Zi Mo's face turned pale, her luck was running for a long time, and her five organs were already faintly painful.

Gritting her teeth, she stopped quickly and pushed Xiu Yu behind her: "I'll stop it, you run first!"

Without Xiu Yu to stop her, her entire body floated, purple light flashed on her body, and the purple sword qi around her body condensed in an instant.

The situation was critical, and she did not hesitate to use the secret method again!

"Damn, using the secret method twice in a row to improve the realm is afraid that it will cause irreparable damage!"

Zi Mo's face was solemn, he slowly raised his hand, the wind rose around him, and the sword qi instantly strangled towards the shadow that was chasing quickly.

"Purple Qi is coming from the east!"

With a loud shout from her, hundreds of sword qi slashed at the phantom's body.

Zi Mo fell weakly from the air, Xiu Yu hurriedly hugged her, and ran away in the bamboo forest without looking back.

"Roar...!"

A sound that shook the bamboo forest shook the mountain forest.

The sky turned white, and they were far from the fog and hid in a cave somewhere.

Xiu Yu hurriedly put Zi Mo on the stone and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zi Mo's pale face left a few drops of sweat, she bit her lips and teeth lightly, the tearing pain between her heart and mouth made her have to clench her teeth, the injuries of her internal organs have not healed, and the forced use of the secret technique just now has now made it worse.

"I... It seems like... I'm dying..."

Zi Mo looked at Xiu Yu in pain, his voice was like a mosquito moaning, very weak.

"No, it won't... It won't...!"

Xiu Yu hurriedly comforted, and held her cold hands with his big hands, making her feel a trace of warmth.

"I'm so cold..."Zi Mo's eyelids loosened and closed tiredly.

Xiu Yu hurriedly took off the clothes on his body and covered her body.

"Is it still cold...?"

Xiu Yu asked worriedly.

Zi Mo seemed to be about to fall asleep, and a faint voice came again: "It's so cold..."

Xiuyu, who looked ugly, was anxious and helpless, and he was about to faint as he watched Zi Mo suffer the tearing pain.

He gently held Zi Mo in his arms and tightly transmitted the temperature of his body to her......
