Fruit fairy

Chapter 11 God's Will in the Darkness

A finger as thick as a water tank moved down in mid-air, seemingly understatement, but in fact it pressed down on the head of the snake demon as fast as lightning.

The snake demon was unwilling to stand still, the scales all over its body stood up suddenly, and in the afterglow, it was like thousands of extremely sharp blood-stained blades, shining red lights all around.

At the same time, a sonic boom suddenly sounded in the air, and the huge snake tail even swept away in the air with afterimages.

The sound exploded like a thunderbolt that knocked Li Can to the ground. When he looked up again, he saw that Yunwu's finger had already touched the tail of the snake.

Before Li Can heard any sound, he saw a thick blood mist suddenly exploded from the tail of the snake. After a piercing roar, a black tail that was more than ten feet long fell from the air and hit the ground. , when the dust and smoke rose, a pool of blood flowed out on the ground.

Li Can only heard the snake monster let out an earth-shattering painful roar, and in the next moment, it jumped up and took off. The speed was unheard of, and it was like a flying meteor flying hundreds of feet away in an instant.

The cloudy figure seemed much more illusory at the moment, and the huge finger that was pressed had disappeared, but another finger condensed out while panting, and the figure chased after it.

But just before he chased after him, he glanced at Li Can who was lying on the ground.

When its eyes swept over his body, Li Can only felt that his body was cold and he couldn't struggle at all. Although this feeling was only for a moment, it seemed that someone had already seen through his whole body, from inside to outside like a white striped chicken. People can see clearly.

Li Can stood up in a daze, just now it was almost a death situation, but after only a few breaths, the snake monster ran away with its tail cut off, and he was able to live again because of this, thinking about it at this time, he felt so unreal.

Li Can stood blankly on the spot, but in his sight, the snake demon had disappeared at this moment, and the huge cloud figure in midair also became extremely small, and it was hard to find it after a few breaths.

What everyone didn't know was that after chasing for a while, the cloud giant suddenly paused, and white mist began to rise from its body and disperse into the air, leaving only one cloud in the blink of an eye. The longan-sized silver bead hovered in the air for a while, then flew towards Sifang City, and disappeared after a few flashes.

A moment later, when the silver beads flashed into the array, in a secret room in the city lord's mansion, a white man sitting cross-legged, his body covered in dust, his face was almost like the white mist giant. The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and said to himself in a low voice:
"It's really unexpected. The secular fortune teller I met before I joined the sect as an apprentice once said that my life will be bumpy and difficult. Recalling that it was true when I was practicing in the sect. My qualifications were mediocre and my promotion was slow. I came to two Foundation Establishment Pills but failed again and again, seeing that there was not much life left, so I left the sect and came to this remote and desolate place, just for the descendants of my Chen clan to have a place to live in. "

"But this person also said that I was lucky enough to be lucky in the evening, and I lived a hundred years. I have been taking it as a joke before and didn't take it seriously, and I even forgot it after a long time. But the young man who escaped from Shekou just now is clearly a man with cultivation skills. The uncut rough jade with aptitude should belong to him for "cutting the rough jade for a hundred years". Well, it's just that I don't know what is the meaning of this surprise?"

The old man who pondered for a moment and couldn't figure it out shook his head, got up and left the secret room, only to see a sound transmission talisman buzzing in the access control circle. After a trace of mana, a thick voice came clearly:

"To bother Brother Chen, I still look at Haihan. Wu found a snake monster causing troubles in the world, and he has trapped it in the lake of Lijiaji in the west of the city. It's just that this monster can't hide because of its water skills."

A moment later, City Lord Chen rubbed his hands together, and the sound transmission talisman was instantly turned into ashes, and he lowered his head and meditated:

"Although the hundred-year Ganoderma lucidum is good, it takes a lot of time and energy to refine Zengyuan Pill. Besides, my comprehension in the process of alchemy is not as good as that in the process of fighting, so I think it will be twice the result with half the effort and waste a lot. Five Ganoderma lucidum may not be able to successfully refine a Zengyuan Pill."

City Lord Chen gave a wry smile when he thought of this, but when he was about to take a step, he suddenly thought of something, and whispered to himself:
"Lijiaji in the west of the city? Is it possible that in the west of the city, in addition to the interpretation of 'Xizhi', there is also the hidden meaning of 'Xizhi' in the west of the city?"

The old man had a flash of inspiration as if he had grasped something, and he was so excited for a moment that he walked away briskly.

"Congratulations to the ancestors to leave the customs."

In the glorious city lord's mansion, the city lord Chen sat on the eight fairy chair and waved his hands. The maids on the left and right immediately bowed and retreated. After a short time, a [-]-year-old man dressed as a book boy came quickly. When he saw the city lord Chen, he immediately bowed down. With a respectful look, he said:
"Chen Shiliu greets the young master."

City Lord Chen said with a wry smile: "Sixteen, you should change your address as a young master. I am an old man in his eighties who is about to enter the earth. How can I be disrespectful in front of the juniors in the clan?"

Chen Shiliu didn't care and said: "You will always be the young master in my heart. Back then, I accompanied you across thousands of mountains and rivers to find immortals and apprentices."

"Stop, stop, sixteen, let's not talk about recalling the past today, I have something for you to do, you go to the west gate to find a young man for me."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just when Li Can stood there blankly, a voice suddenly came from not far away, causing Li Can to turn his head to look in a daze.

"Eldest brother, we hired this spirit with money, so does this snake demon's severed tail count as our trophy?" The young, short and fat third junior brother said with a smile on his face.

"Of course, but you have to pay additional taxes when you enter the city." The mature-looking elder brother nodded and replied.

At this time, the pale second senior brother Wang Shuang glanced at Li Can, and said to the two people beside him:

"This kid seems to be so scared that he can't even move his eyes. Hey, you are from the Li clan, don't you hurry up and leave this place to join your clan?"

The elder brother said: "This kid can be regarded as a man of great fortune and destiny. He was the only one who survived patriarch Li. If it wasn't for the younger brother Wang who brought the spirit here in time, I'm afraid he would also die." It's about to die."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuangwen immediately chuckled and said, "Hey, boy, so you owe me 30 taels of gold, remember to pay it back."

The third junior brother next to him immediately waved his hands to Li Can and said, "Don't listen to him being blind, let's go quickly, by the way, don't get snake blood on your feet, the smell of this thing won't go away after a year or so."

Li Can really came to his senses at this moment, and also knew the reason why he survived from them, he quickly saluted and thanked him for saving his life, and then left quickly.But when he settled down, he was extremely careful for fear of being contaminated with snake blood, so as not to incur its revenge when he left the city in the future.

After a while, he came to the bloody place. Looking at the piles of meat and blood on the ground, Li Can had mixed feelings in his heart.

The lives of the clansmen in front of the monsters were so fragile, and more than 30 fresh lives were turned into a puddle of flesh in just a moment, which made Li Can feel very sad.

In addition, Li Can was both scared and grateful.If he hadn't tried his best to run for a certain distance to gain some time for himself, he survived by chance. He would have already become a pile of minced meat like these tribesmen. Thinking of this, he was naturally terrified and grateful.

In the evening, Li Can, who was busy on his way, finally arrived outside the city gate, but what he saw was a different scene.

"Line up, line up, and you can enter the city after we have registered our names, counted the number of people, and paid the taxes in full. Do you understand? If you dare to break through, don't blame us for being merciless."

A dozen soldiers patrolled back and forth holding sword hilts, and a loud voice came from the door opening.

Li Can saw the clansman sitting or lying in a long line on the side of the road, all looking tired.

Some young children had already fallen asleep in the arms of the female relatives, and some half-grown children kept crying and hungry beside them, and those female relatives could only persuade them with helpless faces, which attracted more crying.

Li Can passed the crowd and walked forward, his eyes still searching for the figures of his mother and younger brother.

At this time, a sister-in-law with red and swollen eyes suddenly got up after seeing Li Can, stopped Li Can and asked:

"You are Li Can from Mrs. Wang's family, right? Didn't you get left behind by the old patriarch? It's great that you are still alive. Where are the others? My husband is still behind."

Li Can looked at her excited and expectant expression but couldn't open his mouth for a while, fearing that telling the truth would make her unbearable, his lips squirmed for a long time and finally he didn't say a word, but his eyes turned red unknowingly.

"Her father..." That sister-in-law is not a fool, she can't guess what Li Can looks like this time?
I saw her tears rolling down, and she collapsed to the ground with a look of despair and began to cry loudly.

Crying is contagious, despair is spreading.

Following her cry, many female relatives beside her were also aroused by her grief, and immediately wept together with her.

"Howling, howling, dead father or dead mother." A young man among the soldiers yelled and cursed with displeasure, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by the person next to him, so he didn't continue go on.

But the members of the Li clan could hear the first half of the sentence clearly, and all the young and strong men immediately started to shout and curse with glaring eyes.

Some young people with bad tempers or family members who died even rushed to the front. If the new patriarch Li Mo hadn't stopped him firmly, they would have greeted them with old fists.

"Young people are ignorant, and you speak freely, so please don't blame the strong men." After the man who covered the mouth of the young soldier apologized repeatedly, he dragged him to the city gate behind a group of soldiers, and beat him hard. Boxing:

"It's true that a lot of clansmen have died. Can you speak with your head? They are looking for you desperately when you speak so freely."

The young man was also full of regrets, and he shrank his neck and dared not reply.

At this time, a person slowly walked past them, and said with a cold snort:

"So what if I make a mistake. When I arrive in Sifang City, I will have to coil the dragon and lay down the tiger. If you don't give them some color at this time, let's see who will have the final say in this city in the future? Our Chen clan How do you convince the crowd? How do you manage the kilns, big and small, of all gangs and factions?"

"Remember, this Sifang City was built by the old ancestors of the Chen family with bare hands. Our Chen family has the final say when it comes to it. These people should be rescued and managed. They must not be confused. If you don't save them, your conscience will not let you go. Regardless of whether it is trouble with money, you still have to learn!"

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Chen Tianhao who was the leader, and immediately followed him respectfully and walked towards the Li clan.

After leaving the city gate, Chen Tianhao stood still and straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back and said:
"Who among you is the person in charge, come and answer."
