There is nothing to panic about traveling through another world, right?

Chapter 18 Cunning Town

In the early morning, dark clouds covered the few rays of light, and the mountain road was gray.

Elder Liu stood at the gate of the mountain, but there was no gloomy expression on his face - he was finally going to give Liu Si away!

"Qingyan Pill, Huishen Pill, two small bottles of Vigorous Medicine, one bottle of Congealing Blood Pill, five bags of dry food..."

Excitedly, he counted the pills he promised to give Liu Si:

"That's about it. The effect of coagulation pill is similar to that of dry food. It can restore the spirit at critical moments and help the wound heal. It's just the light smoke pills and these pills. Let me tell you honestly, they are actually useless. Our sect is not good at alchemy. , These medicines are all messed up, taking them may not kill you, but at most it will make you feel better."

【Light Smoke Pill】

Description: Temporary +1 to Dexterity within two hours after taking it
Estimate: 30 silver

It may not be useful for you after taking it, but to me the effect on the panel is real. Liu Si nodded to Elder Liu with a smile, and put the things into the big bag he was carrying.

Elder Liu gave Liu Bang a pair of leather boots. Although they had no special effect, Liu Bang was very comfortable to wear.

"The place where my former junior brother lives is called Ningchuan. There are mixed fish and people, Xiao Liu, you must be careful. Oh, by the way, when you see your junior brother, don't forget to tell him about the earth fire mutation and the lost copper sect here. He knows a lot about things that people come to commit, and he may find some clues."

Liu Si nodded, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Elder Liu looked at the cloudy sky for a while, and looked back at the mountain road for a while. He seemed restless, as if he was waiting for someone to come. As expected, a figure hurriedly came not far away, and Elder Liu immediately let go. Take a breath.

——Look at the solemn expression, the resolute face, the person who came was Zhu Mingyao or someone else.

The something wrong in Liu Bang's heart was verified, and Zhu Mingyao was also carrying a package, which was obviously not a gift for her before she left.

Elder Liu coughed in embarrassment: "Xiao Liu, there are a lot of bad people outside now, and those people from the cult are running around. I don't feel at ease after thinking about it, so I asked Xiao Zhu to go with you. Xiao Zhu's strength is not bad for her age. That’s right, the two of you together can be considered a help.”

Sure enough, he was going to give her a teammate. Although Liu Si dispelled Elder Liu's hostility by relying on his words, deeds, and charisma these two days, deep in his heart, Elder Liu still had some doubts about her, a person whose origin was unknown. Not worried at all.

Moreover, such important news as the earth fire mutation and the people of the lost copper sect really need to be asked by the disciples of the sect, which is safer.

Liu Bang put on a show and said politely: "Then trouble Ah Zhu."

Fortunately, she didn't learn the special skills of lone wolves.

Now, although things are a bit limited in the future, at least there is a personal science popularizer, so that she doesn't know what's going on when she encounters something on the road.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Elder Liu pulled the life medicine to the front, gave a few quick instructions, as if his butt was on fire, and hurriedly turned back to the mountain.

"Aliu, do you actually want to go down the mountain alone?"

Zhu Mingyao had been standing quietly by the side, but when he saw Elder Liu leaving, he suddenly asked.

Liu Bang glanced at her, and said with a smile: "How could it be? Actually, I have suffered from severe amnesia. It’s burning, no one is surprised yet, it can’t be ground fire.”

Cunning Town can be completely covered here. Liu Si pointed down the mountain, and saw a faint fire burning high in the middle of the town, which was more conspicuous in the cloudy sky.

Zhu Mingyao looked at the direction of her finger, and said with a slight smile, "That's not the ground fire. It's the alarm tower built by the head of Cunning Town. For 30 years, he has been protecting Cunning Town from all kinds of vision disturbances." .The last time it fell was the ground fire, so there is a fire on the top of the tower."

Liu Bang wondered: "This manager is so powerful? Then why didn't he take action directly, and by the way, beat the crap out of those who were attacked by the Lost Bronze Sect last time, and drove them away?"

Zhu Mingyao shook his head: "I don't know. He is quite aloof. He always thinks that using our exercises and ancestral magic weapons will have a bad impact on the town. The relationship with our Shanshui Sect is not very good, and we are also unpredictable. Don't see through his behaviour."

…………

The gloomy weather did not go well with Elder Liu's bright mood in the morning, but it did go well with the sad expressions on the faces of the disciples in charge of the town at the moment.

They knelt in front of the tower one by one, with twisted and tangled expressions, whimpering, as if they were crying.

"Have you heard, this is terrible..."

"Yes, what should I do?"

When they got off the mountain, they seemed to have encountered an accident unexpectedly.There were a lot of townspeople gathered in front of the tower to watch the commotion, and Liu Si couldn't see what was going on in front of her at all, so she could only listen to the discussions of these townspeople as much as possible.

She saw the medicines of life grabbing a familiar townsman:

"What's going on here?"

"Ah, isn't this Miss Zhu? Why did you come to the town? Let me tell you, something serious happened. The deputy in charge suddenly fell to the ground beside the tower in the morning and vomited blood to death. Now it is said that he committed suicide!"

"The deputy in charge, is Mr. Wu Milian, ah."

Zhu Mingyao thanked the townspeople, walked back to Liu Bang, lowered his head, and seemed to be in a very depressed mood.

Liu Bang looked at her curiously: "Is your relationship with this old gentleman all right? I thought you guys had a bad relationship with the faction in charge. Do you want to check the situation?"

Zhu Mingyao shook his head: "No need, his nephews probably don't particularly want to see me."

They talked as they walked, and they walked out of the town after a while.

The deserted path looks gloomy, and there always seems to be something hidden in the dry grass.

The cry of a wild animal came from a distance, wrapped in the wind, and it sounded a bit like a human cry.

Zhu Mingyao reminded: "The sound seems to be very close, so be careful."

"Ugh-"

The cry was getting closer and closer, echoing along the wind.

Zhu Mingyao took out two long strips of cloth to wrap around his hands, and took off the big sword he was carrying with his backhand, and firmly grasped the hilt.

Liu Bang looked at her weapon curiously: "Actually, I wanted to ask before, how do you usually use such a big sword."

Zhu Mingyao didn't answer, she chose to swing her arm directly, and answered with a big sword that swung out horizontally!
"Hey!"

But hearing the sound of breaking through the sky, a wolf-like beast suddenly appeared behind Liu Bang, the sword wind swayed, the beast barely clamped its tail and turned around, and the top of its head brushed against the sword in a dangerous way, only then did it avoid the viciousness of the life medicines s attack.

I knew that this big sword was not easy to use, and if I met a dexterous person or animal, I would definitely be played with it.

Liu Bang took a step back in a calm manner. In fact, she had already heard the footsteps of the beast, and she just wanted to see how the life medicines fought.

Zhu Mingyao shouted: "This is a sharp-mouthed dog! These beasts have barbs on their teeth, be careful not to be bitten!"

The sharp-mouthed dog bared its teeth and growled, its back tensed, and its limbs that were close to the ground suddenly jumped forward with force, throwing off its whole body and rushing towards Liu Bang!

"Chong!"

Another annoying squeal!

The sharp-billed dog's pupils shrank in pain, and his teeth bit the blade of the big sword fiercely. On top of it, Zhu Mingyao struggled to turn his wrist, and set the sword at a small angle to protect his body, successfully giving the sharp-billed dog a complete attack. blocked.

Behind this person and a dog, Liu Si had already cast a shadow step, made a half circle around the spot, holding a dagger in his hand, and slammed into the back of the sharp-billed dog——

【Sharp Dog】

[Level]: 4
Such a wild beast, of course, let her handle it as she pleases!
"Hey!"

Blood spurted out from the sharp-billed dog's back, but Zhu Mingyao's face suddenly turned pale.

Liu Si looked at her strangely: "What's wrong? Are you all right?"

"fine……"

Zhu Mingyao smiled wryly, looked at the lifeless beast, suddenly clutched his chest, and took a few steps back.

Liu Bang was even more surprised, and supported her from behind: "What's wrong with you, are you dizzy?"

Zhu Mingyao shook his head: "No, it's one of the precepts of our sect that we must never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Now this sharp-mouthed dog has been killed by you, so I feel a little uncomfortable physically."

Liu Bang looked at her suspiciously, and didn't know where to rant: "?? I killed this beast, and it's innocent, it clearly wanted to bite me to death."

No wonder Zhu Mingyao didn't choose the ultimate move before, but used a more troublesome method, turning the heavy sword to hold the sharp-billed dog.

Taking a deep breath, the life medicines seemed to be slowing down, but the expression on his face became even more sad:

"It shouldn't be okay to watch. As long as the people and creatures who can pass through the hanging sword scale at our mountain gate are within our protection range, this sharp-billed dog may have never killed anyone before. That's how the commandments are. We have to abide by the previous suzerain's order, so that we can exert the effect of the unique cultivation method in the sect, there is no way."

Liu Bang pointed to another pool of hidden blood on the ground that obviously did not belong to the sharp-billed dog, and was very dissatisfied: "Look at this blood, it seems to be dripping from its mouth, and there are rags on it, it can't be a duck Bloody chicken blood. Is it really innocent?"

The bloodstains stretched all the way into the yellow weeds, and the place where the weeds piled up the most was pressed into a depression, and a person with bloody legs lay inside.

The two walked up to this person, and Liu Si took a look: "Oh, so he's not dead."

She shrugged, turned her head and was about to say something to Zhu Mingyao, but found that the latter was staring at the man on the ground with a tense expression.

Just listen to Zhu Mingyao: "If I'm not mistaken, you are the apprentice in charge, Wu Yingzhuo, Junior Brother Wu, right? Why are you here alone?"

　I'm exhausted! !
