Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 23 The Trial of Immortality (23)

After leaving the acquisition office and walking on the way to the hotel, Liu Yinghua kept complaining to Fu Cangzhao, as if he wanted to express all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated over the past decades in a few words.

Fu Cangzhao's words went in and out of his ears. She asked to stay in a hotel, not just to listen to Liu Yinghua's complaints, but because she had other things to do.

Jiayuan Town is located in a remote location and the level of consumption is not high, so those who collect purple cicadas have the opportunity to become rich overnight.

But compared with real ordinary people, these people are very rare.

A single room in the hotel costs only 25 yuan of third-grade spiritual stones for one night. Liu Yinghua was about to take out the newly harvested first-grade spiritual stones in her purse, but Fu Cangzhao beat her to it.

After running a small business in the world of immortality for several years, Fu Cangzhao had a lot of change on hand. She was not happy to see Liu Yinghua forcefully remove a first-grade spiritual stone.

Seeing that the other party was still trying to evade, Fu Cangzhao quickly slapped her in the face and made her shut up. After getting the door key, he hurried to the room.

After closing the door and pasting the barrier card, Liu Yinghua dared to speak: "How can I let you spend money?"

"I never do business at a loss." Fu Cangzhao hummed happily, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Let's put on night clothes tonight and see how many men the monster will eat."

Liu Yinghua: "?"

Fu Cangzhao smiled and said nothing.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand. Anyway, Fu Cangzhao is with him. No matter what happens, he can always ask for help from his immortal friends!

As night fell, the regular monsters came to Kongxi Realm again, and as Fu Cangzhao expected, they came to attack Jiayuan Town.

There is a purchasing office in this place, which will naturally attract a large number of monks to hand over the purple cicadas.Many of these monks are men with families. What has supported their cultivation of immortality for so long?Of course it’s my wife!
According to the follow-up observations in the past few days, married women are included in the food range of the regular monsters, so after this night, many monks are bound to die in a foreign country!
Among the monks who died tragically at the hands of monsters, there must be some who haven't had time to take action. Fu Cangzhao planned to wait until the monsters finished enjoying themselves, then go and pick them up.

Does anyone have the same idea as her?Fu Cangzhao didn't know that no matter which man he was, he would always be attached to a woman for a while in his life, and these were within the hunting range of monsters according to the rules.

That night, whenever the rules monster targeted a male cultivator, Fu Cangzhao would follow him.

She is familiar with the logic of monster actions and can always take the first step to knock out the target and take away their valuables.

After the monster arrived, he found that the prey had been cleaned long ago, and the eating experience had also been improved.

Just like this, one after another, and when the monsters began to turn towards ordinary men without cultivation, Fu Cangzhao knew that it was time for him to get down to business.

Wearing a black cloak, she walked alone through the night without anyone noticing her presence.

The door of the acquisition office was closed. Fu Cangzhao thought for a moment, pulled out a base card, instantly imprinted the closed-loop pattern, and then injected spiritual power.

As soon as the closed-loop pattern on the card is activated, it turns into a dark energy mass and suddenly expands into a plane that can accommodate one person.When Fu Cangzhao walked in, the black surface automatically closed up, leaving no trace.

This is a "portal", and the power it can exert varies depending on the strength of the holder.Fu Cangzhao didn't know where he would be after returning to his original body - had he reached the realm of transcending tribulation?But it seems to be stronger than Ying Shuoyue, so it is after the tribulation?

It doesn't matter, she can choose any coordinate setting method anyway.

For example, here, she went to the acquisition office to hand in the purple cicada during the day, and made that slight connection to locate the appraiser.

It seems that it will take some time for the rules monster to get here, and she plans to deal with the appraiser who looks down on others first.

Whether it was the quality of the cards or the opponent's poor alertness, Fu Cangzhao moved closer, but the appraiser didn't notice it at all.Naturally, she likes to see unsuspecting enemies, so she puts on her usual iron-weighted wooden stick and sends the opponent into the long darkness.

In order to prevent the wooden stick from being made of too ordinary material to break through the defense, Fu Cangzhao specially used his spiritual power to put a "shell" on the wooden stick. He also interfered with the appraiser's spiritual defense in advance and dispersed the spiritual power running around his neck. .

After that, she calmly took off the appraiser's clothes and found many spiritual stones from the Qiankun bag placed in the inner pocket of his clothes. It was estimated that all the stolen money he had accepted as bribes from the guilty cultivators were here.

I'm not going to throw away my badges and uniforms just yet, they might be of some use in the future.

She walked towards the warehouse.

Excluding some supplies for local staff, the warehouse is roughly divided into two parts - the part where the spirit stones are stored, and the part where the purchased purple cicadas are placed.

Fu Cangzhao swept away the purple cicada, and she had no idea about the remaining inventory of spiritual stones.

There was a sudden noise behind him, and Fu Cangzhao was stunned. Could it be that he was already so slow?
She was relieved when she saw clearly who the visitor was. It was Liu Yinghua!

Perhaps because of trust, Fu Cangzhao ignored Liu Yinghua's move to open the door.

Seeing that Fu Cangzhao had no intention of continuing the sweep, the woman pointed at the pile of first-grade spiritual stones and said, "Aren't you going to take them away?"

"I still want to wait for the next group of people to come over and continue to pick up the leaks." Fu Cangzhao tilted his head. She always felt that Liu Yinghua's temperament was different from before.

Liu Yinghua's heart was extremely cold at this time, and he reluctantly said: "I don't think Yangtian Sect will let people continue to come here to buy Zi Liu Chan... and will destroy the entire Jiayuan Town as soon as possible!"

Only the men died in Jiayuan Town, what should we do with the remaining women?
Like other women in the settlement, they were unarmed and had not yet cultivated their skills.They didn't even get over their husbands' long-term dominance and indifference, and were immersed in each other's occasional warmth.

The next morning, the women in Jiayuan Town didn't even have time to discover the bodies of the men around them, before they were awakened by the sound of gongs and drums.They followed the sound out of the house, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the central square of the town, which was familiar but not unfamiliar.Whenever the town wants to release some important information, the gongs and drums on the platform directly in front of the square will be sounded. At that time, all the townspeople must rush to the square as soon as possible to watch the updated notice boards and listen to the officials' explanations.

This time, they did not see the familiar clerk, nor did they see the mayor standing on the platform with his hands behind his back and a big belly.

They saw only two women dressed simply.

The man is wearing a Jingchai sarong, his face is weathered, but he is full of energy, and his temperament is far beyond that of the local women in Jiayuan Town.

The other person has a rare short dark blue hair, and a dark red scarf protects his neck and chin. From his appearance, he seems to be just a teenager.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lingered on the child for a second, and after the child nodded, she said loudly: "Good morning, girls in Jiayuan Town! I am Liu Yinghua, and I will be responsible for leading everyone to rebuild Jiayuan Town from today on!"

"Rebuild?" The women were confused. They all lived an ordinary life yesterday. From time to time, they saw a few people running to hand in the collected purple cicada sheds. Why did they suddenly say they were going to rebuild after just one night's sleep?
There were too many questions in everyone's mind. At this time, Liu Yinghua continued: "I regret to tell you that just last night, Jiayuan Town was attacked by monsters. No man in the town was spared! Girls, you will have one hour later. Go home and tidy up, and try to clean out as many small items as possible, such as the bones and unwanted clothes left behind by the men!
"Remember, give priority to cleaning the belongings of all men in your family, including very young boys! Don't be nervous if you feel scary, monsters will not hurt us, not to mention that I have invited an immortal to protect me!"

At this point, Liu Yinghua turned sideways and asked Fu Cangzhao to step forward and take over the conversation: "Good morning everyone, my surname is Fu, you can call me instructor Fu. Entrusted by my friends, from today on, I will be responsible for protecting your safety. .Please don’t worry, after many days of verification, we have confirmed that the monster will only attack men, and it is safe and harmless to you.

"The only thing you need to do now is to obey my order. From now on, you have one hour to sort out the belongings of all the men in your family, burn them together, and pay tribute to them. The last thirty people who come back will Can’t get rewarded.”

At first, the women were still shocked, and they all doubted the authenticity of what the two people said on the stage. The men in their family were all fine, so why did they just say that they were gone?It must be that these two people couldn't bear to see them living a good life, so they made up lies to deceive them!

But as soon as Fu Cangzhao mentioned "reward", their hearts fluttered - no matter what good thing it was, or whether their men were alive or not, who wouldn't want it?Who wouldn’t want to share it with their husband, son or father?

Even if the other party is lying, they still want to test what good things this kid who looks like he is only in his teens can come up with!

So when Fu Cangzhao gave the order, the women in Jiayuan Town ran away one after another, rushing back home to pack up the men's belongings.

After everyone had almost left, Fu Cangzhao and Liu Yinghua noticed that there were less than ten women of various ages left in the square, standing there at a loss.

"What's the situation with you?" Liu Yinghua knew that this was what she should do, and despite the shocked eyes of the audience, she jumped down from the stage and came to them.

Then, after Liu Yinghua's patient questioning, the identities of these nine women or girls were roughly figured out.

Of the six elders, four are widows and two are women living alone.

There are three young people left. Two 15-year-old boys are twins. Both their mother and father are dead. There are no boys in the family. They rely half on the help of neighbors and half on hunting.

The last 12-year-old girl seemed to be the attendant of a certain monk. Liu Yinghua felt that this child was extraordinary just by getting close to her.

If nothing else, her body temperature seemed to be lower than that of others, so she kept a distance from the crowd.

The girl looked very cold, not shaken at all by the news of her master's death.When asked why, she only said: "I have seen that monster. It killed my father and brother. It was the owner who found me."

No one could tell how true or false these words were.

Watching Fu Cangzhao's questions, Liu Yinghua's thoughts drifted to last night. When she thought of the appraiser's different attitudes towards women and men, she became so angry!

So she decided to sneak into the acquisition office alone, intending to steal all the spirit stones, and happened to bump into Fu Cangzhao who came to clean up.

Unexpectedly, this immortal only took away the purple cicada and left none of the spiritual stones stored in the warehouse!
That night, Liu Yinghua suddenly realized that although Fu Cangzhao was powerful, he had no common sense on certain things.

Fu Cangzhao was not stupid. She just thought about it briefly and figured out the reason. She couldn't help but look at Liu Yinghua with admiration: "I want to hear your opinion first."

Liu Yinghua took a deep breath and spoke out her unclear but coherent thoughts.

First of all, the frightened women must be comforted. They are just ordinary people. They will always feel uncomfortable when they see the men around them turn into bones. At this time, someone must stand up to lead everyone and become their spiritual support.

Secondly, they need to be taught some self-defense techniques or combat skills.They don't seek orthodoxy, just that they can quickly gain combat effectiveness.

The last and most important thing is the weapons.Those men who were swallowed by the monsters of rules - mainly male cultivators - all carried many magic weapons with them.When women have a certain level of strength, weapons are assigned to them.

While listening to Liu Yinghua describe his thoughts, Fu Cangzhao nodded in agreement.She had a vague feeling before that it would be difficult to be kind in the future, but she kept forcing herself to ignore this feeling; until Liu Yinghua talked to her about the next idea, Fu Cangzhao had to face the reality——

She may need to prepare for a fierce battle.

At least she wanted to help the women in the settlement and Jiayuan Town survive the Yangtian Sect's purge.

The ink-colored dead fish eyes look even more profound in the darkness.

"Liu Yinghua." Fu Cangzhao suddenly spoke.

"Is there a problem?"

"I want you to do this."
