Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

Chapter 182 Promotion to the Sixth Rank——[Time Demon]!

"This... this moon is not only getting rounder, but... it's also getting red!"

Fang Jie had never experienced anything like this before, so when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"This is a blood moon."

"Starting from the second tide, every tide will be accompanied by a blood moon." Zhou Xu is obviously knowledgeable.

Looking at this scene, he explained softly.

"So now the second tide has begun? Can we eat the foundation?"

Fang Jie is ready to make a move.

"Not yet."

This was said by Li Daoxuan. As for why he knew... it was because the prompt that the foundation could be swallowed had not yet appeared on the panel.

For such a big matter, it is impossible for the panel not to give a reminder.

Zhou Xu continued to explain: "When the moon completely changes from new moon to first quarter, and after the blood moon passes, there will be a period of 'blindness'. Only then is the time for us to take the foundation."

"What is...blindness?"

"The first quarter moon disappears, and the entire world falls into eternal night. At that time, it is not only the time when we take the foundation, but also the time when evil spirits crazily breed and even transform."

Zhou Xu looked at it for a while and then looked away. It was still early and there wasn't much to see.

Li Daoxuan's heart was touched, and Hu Yue asked to see him.

"Go ahead."

Li Dao

Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and said: "Let them all go back. Just say that they don't leave the house today. Something big has happened. Don't say anything specific... Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing."

"Yes."

Hu Yue slowly took a few steps back, and then his figure disappeared into the yard.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow of a golden-armored god appeared in the sky above the entire Shouwu City, causing the noisy people in the city to stop.

Some even fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and shouted "City God, help me!"

"Damn, this guy is quite impressive." Fang Jie also looked up at the phantom of the god on the sky and sighed.

"Do you want to try? I can help you if you want."

Zhou Xu said suddenly on the side.

"This is Sister Zhou..."

Li Daoxuan also looked at her, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The latter raised his head slightly, "This is just a small means of restraint in this world. I gave Hu Yue the specific control device."

"So this divine projection was not created by Hu Yue himself?"

"No, he doesn't have this strength yet."

While several people were talking, the phantom of Huyue above Shouwu City said in a deep voice: "Accepting the order from the Lord of the City, all the people in the city will return home from now on."

The loud sound spread to every corner of the city.

After three times in a row, the people in the city finally stopped making noise and rushed towards their homes one by one.

They have endured life and death for a long time, and they don't have any other abilities, but they still know the principles of survival.

There was no yelling, and there was no collapse on the spot.

Some are just the obsession in their hearts to survive.

Immediately, the golden shadow on the sky disappeared, leaving only blood in the sky and the earth.

Li Daoxuan just looked up and looked up. Suddenly, there was another touch in his body, but this time it was no longer Hu Yue.

It is the Class A evil spirit within the domain seed, the headless bride.

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and figured out what was going on. He looked at Bai Jun and said, "Zhou Mengjiao is coming out."

The latter nodded slightly, indicating that he could believe it.

Li Dao

He didn't speak, he just stood silently.

The second tide is an opportunity for grain eaters like Li Daoxuan, but it is also the same for evil spirits.

"What's so special about this eternal night? I can't remember clearly. There seems to be an explanation."

Li Daoxuan asked while watching the moon on the sky gradually become fuller.

"Indeed there is."

Zhou Xu then replied: "According to the historical records of our Wei State... Yong Ye closed his eyes because of the Nine Supreme Beings."

"When the tide comes, the nine supreme beings cannot bear to see the suffering in the world, so they close their eyes. This is also an opportunity they give to those who eat grain in the world."

"Similarly, there is another saying that this blood moon is also because too many people died in the secular world, and blood filled the heaven and earth, and then the moon came to light."

"Just listen." Bai Jun said.

"I think so. The Blood Moon theory is still valid, but the previous one..." Fang Jie shook his head after finishing speaking.

Li Daoxuan knew that this was impossible. He knew better than anyone what was going on in this world.

But he didn't say it either. Who knows if he said it, some sleeping supreme would listen to it?

So he tapped his fingers on his knees and waited silently for the tide to arrive.

At the same time, they are not the only ones waiting.

Anyone who hears a little bit of news in the secular world, and any eighth-rate grain eater who has entered the sect, will know what is going on.

They are all waiting for this moment to come.

In the Divine Witch City, on the tallest Divine Witch Tower.

Qiu Wuming was also waiting here with a man in a large black robe, but they didn't wait any longer. On the table next to him, there were several plates of what looked like various dishes... Tai Sui!

If Li Daoxuan and the others were here, they would definitely recognize them.

The man sitting opposite Qiu Wuming was the ghostly costumed craftsman who had met him once and even gave him something... a sect monster.

"It seems that City Lord Qiu has gained quite a lot in the past few times."

The door monster looked at the Tai Sui placed on the table and chuckled.

"Okay, okay, now that General Men is here, why don't you come up with something decent?"

The sect monster did not respond, but turned to look at Qiu Wuming, who was in his prime, "City Lord Qiu... is he... going to take advantage of this opportunity to aspire to the ninth-rate world? In this case, I have to congratulate him in advance. When the time comes, Don’t forget to take care of your business.”

After hearing this, Qiu Wuming sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, "The journey to Shigu is going against the will of the gods. How could it be so smooth?"

"If it doesn't work by then, I'm afraid I'll have to take care of it with the help of General Men."

The other two big city lords were not unaware of Qiu Wuming's plan to try to be promoted to a second-rate grain eater.

They even knew that Qiu Wuming sent people to the Evil Suppression Tower one after another.

There are still some actions... such as sending people to stop him, for example, he is also searching for opportunities for promotion, but this battle for the lower-class right to speak has not yet been concluded until now.

The monsters also know what Qiu Wuming just said.

It's just that he wants to take action. If this happens, it's easy to say. If he is 10%, he will have the final say in the entire lower-class world.

But if this doesn't work...the other two city lords will definitely not just watch.

Everyone understands the principle of beating up a drowned dog.

"Oh? I wonder when City Lord Qiu will be ready?" There was a hint of surprise in the voice of the monster.

Qiu Wuming handed over a piece of parchment that had been prepared. The latter looked down and did not rush to reply. He turned to look at the boundless Divine Witch City.

Shrouded in blood, the entire city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

But in this deep sleep, the monsters can see the crazy... breeding of foundations one after another. They are growing in this earthly homeland.

"There's still time for a cup of tea."

Qiu Wuming said suddenly.

……

"There's still time for a cup of tea."

Li Daoxuan looked at the text that popped up on the panel and gave them some advice: "You can take out the prepared foundations and do your best later. Don't take risks. Once something goes wrong, I will save you." I can’t help you.”

When he said this, he focused on Fang Jie.

Among the few people present, the only one who could possibly ignore it was Fang Jie.

Li Daoxuan knew that he was actually an extreme person.

"Brother Li, don't worry."

Fang Jie nodded, and took out the foundation from Sumeru. He and Zhou Xu were still eighth-rate grain eaters until now.

Today we can indeed take this opportunity to give it a try.

"Ah."

Li Daoxuan didn't say much and took out three mermaid bone boxes from Sumeru.

The first one contained the foundation of a seventh-rate [Stealer].

He has already taken two of these foundations. As long as he takes one more, he will face the etiquette of a sixth-rate grain eater.

So the second human fish bone box contains etiquette. He also took a look, and saw that it was also something pitch black, and the taste was similar to the ritual he had taken before when he was condensing the domain seeds.

It's all disgusting stuff.

Therefore, after the power of the seventh-level grain eater reaches its peak, if he takes this ritual, he will be promoted to the sixth-level grain eater - [Time Demon].

The remaining third human fish bone box contains the foundation of the sixth-rate [Time Demon].

There are also three pieces in it. How many can be taken depends entirely on Li Daoxuan's own strength.

At this moment, several people present raised their heads and stared motionlessly at the moon hanging in the sky.

Watch it change from a new moon to a half-moon.

I don't know how much time passed, but Li Daoxuan suddenly discovered that the moon, which had always been getting fuller, had stopped moving.

Normally, the changes were too subtle and he shouldn't be able to feel them.

But at this moment, he felt that the moon had stopped moving.

Text then appears on the panel.

[The new moon has completely transformed into a first quarter moon, the second tide has passed halfway, and eternal night is about to fall. The brave butcher... the opportunity is right in front of you. 】

Halfway through the text, Fang Jie's voice came to my ears.

"It's getting dark!"

For one moment, it was like being in a room that was still bright with lights on, and the next moment, someone turned off the lights.

Only four words appeared on the panel that Li Daoxuan had been looking at.

【Eternal night falls. 】

Without saying a word, Li Daoxuan directly picked up the foundation of the [Stealer] prepared in advance and swallowed it in one gulp.

[The brave pig butcher took advantage of the gap in the eternal night to start his own promotion path. Your survival points +6 (blue). 】

[You have taken the Thief's Foundation, because you have already taken two Thieves' Foundation. After taking the next one, the Foundation in your body has mutated, and your survival points are +8 (blue). 】

[You are about to go deep into the secular world again to explore its most authentic secrets. 】

Li Daoxuan looked at the words on the panel motionlessly. At the same time, he also felt that after taking the foundation this time, there was no pain in his body like before.

The words continue to emerge.

[You have reached the depths of the world, only to find that your existing power cannot allow you to go deeper again. You have reached the end of your abilities, and your survival points are +3 (blue). 】

Without saying a word, Li Daoxuan swallowed the etiquette contained in the second human fish bone box.

The fishy smell was accompanied by nausea, and he swallowed it.

The text on the panel immediately continued.

[You have realized the shortcomings in your body, you have taken the etiquette, you are about to enter the higher level of the sequence, your survival points +18 (blue). 】

After that, the words on the panel appeared at an indescribable speed, and even Li Daoxuan's eyes could barely keep up.

Even faster than the thoughts in my mind.

[The thief walks in the wilderness of the world, and with his miraculous stealing skills, he quickly becomes a famous existence in the world. 】

[They call themselves "Robber Commanders". They rarely go into groups and often travel alone. They hide in every corner of the world and specialize in attacking those who are alone and wealthy or evil spirits. 】

[But gradually, they found that stealing alone could no longer earn them more money. They came into contact with another more secretive group-Shi Yao. 】

[You can’t make a fortune by stealing money. If you really want to make a fortune, you have to steal people! 】

[Shi Yao, they are a group of lunatics walking in the secular world. They don't care. They practice secret techniques and even created their own common techniques such as "Ghost Substitute", "Mutilated Hand" and "The Art of Stealing People". 】

[They believe in their own abilities, and even worshiped their own gods for this purpose-Yin Yang Official. 】

[After the thief learned the secrets of the time demon, he became more and more dissatisfied with himself. Finally, through repeated experiments by a great thief, he finally found the etiquette of becoming a "time demon". 】

[You abandoned the foundation of your own origin and relied on the baptism of etiquette. 】

[You have been promoted to a sixth-rate grain eater—Shi Yao. 】

[Your lifespan has changed. As a time demon, you should have had a lifespan of 300 years, but you were contaminated by life turbidity, your lifespan was reduced, and your lifespan became 210 years. 】

[You have understood the common skills: ghost substitute, funeral stick, mutilated hand, stealing technique, Yin Yang official]

[The pig-killer stretched out his hand in the chaos, and before the thief's system dissipated, he forcibly captured the common technique - the master's hand was empty! 】

[Your survival points +33 (blue). 】

When the text on the panel stopped here, Li Daoxuan also noticed many changes on his personal panel, but at this moment he didn't care to look any further.

At the same time, he also felt that Fang Jie and Zhou Xu beside him had been promoted to seventh-rate grain eaters, but they were still eating their foundation.

Trying to take advantage of this opportunity to become a sixth-rate grain eater in one fell swoop.

On the other side, the auras of Bai Jun and the Headless Bride are also changing, as if they were originally just the size of a fist, but now they are...the size of two fists?

Li Daoxuan couldn't explain this feeling.

He only knew that the pig butcher’s technique of forcibly capturing pigs made him very satisfied!

[Empty Hands] can be said to be the core skill of a thief. Without this stealing skill, what kind of thief would he be?

It's just a pity that the other [Ta Zaoqing] was not captured as well.

Otherwise, it would be beautiful to have this invisibility skill again...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Daoxuan knew why the panel kept calling him the greedy pig butcher.

Li Daoxuan himself can feel the level of greed.

Although there were many thoughts in his mind, the movements of his hands did not stop.

The foundation of a sixth-rate [Time Demon] was swallowed by Li Daoxuan, and he could clearly feel it this time.

The foundation was just digested and absorbed by his own foundation as soon as he swallowed it.

He didn't care to read the words on the panel, because he found that the sky was showing signs of getting brighter.

He hurriedly swallowed another foundation into his belly, and felt no discomfort.

But at the same time as this foundation was being digested, a glimmer of light gradually appeared on the sky, and the blood moon that had disappeared was slowly recovering.

[The eternal night disappears, and the blood moon returns to its homeland. 】

[The earthly world has changed from a new moon to... a first quarter moon. 】

The moonlight shines on the ground again, but now the moonlight has changed from the previous dimness to blood red, and the whole world seems to be covered with a layer of blood.

Li Daoxuan also breathed out slowly, but there was still one last root in his hand that had not been taken, which really made him a little helpless.

But there is nothing we can do about it, and we have tried our best.

The only thing to blame is that the duration of this eternal night is too short. If it had lasted just a little longer, Li Daoxuan would have already taken the last foundation.

From this sixth-rate time demon, he was promoted to a fifth-rate one—promoted to a master!

But no matter what, he also gained a lot of survival points this time. When the life span was enough, he added all the energy and blood in one breath. While feeling the power in his body, he looked at the people around him.

Zhou Xu has also opened his eyes and his aura has stabilized.

A seventh-rate [Suona Master].

She sighed, "The body that turns around is too weak, so I can only do it slowly."

"It's okay, it's not a big problem. It's good to have Qiliu."

After Li Daoxuan comforted them, he looked at Bai Jun and Zhou Mengjiao behind him.

These two evil spirits are filled with ghost energy.

The latter was even shrouded in a rich purple light, which was her original foundation, but it only shrouded her body and did not disperse.

But despite this, Li Daoxuan could still feel the terrifying aura coming from her body.

So this is...after the second tide, I am no longer a match for the Grade A evil spirit?

Gan!

This really doesn't give grain eaters a way to survive. The only good thing is that there aren't many Class A evil spirits.

Otherwise, I really would be dead.

Bai Jun hasn't responded yet, and Li Daoxuan is about to take a look at the changes on the panel.

But at this moment, Fang Jie on the side suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a filthy breath.

And the aura on his body also increased sharply.

He became a sixth-rate grain eater——[Matchmaker]!

"Ok?"

Not only Zhou Xu, but also Li Daoxuan looked at him in surprise.

"You kid can do it. You didn't say a word and you turned out to be a sixth-rate grain eater."

Li Daoxuan bluntly expressed his truest thoughts.

"It's a bit unexpected." Zhou Xu also looked at Fang Jie seriously, as if it was the first time he met him.

"Hehe, lucky, lucky."

Fang Jie said this, but the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

He only had one idea in his mind, and he felt proud!

Li Daoxuan was also sincerely happy for Fang Jie. In this way, at least he would no longer be a hindrance!

And with the status of [Future Winter and Spring Official], even if he has just become a [Matchmaker], he will become a leader among the sixth-rate grain eaters.

Li Daoxuan retracted his mind and looked at the panel, but found that another line of text had popped up at some point.

[The ignorant pig butcher didn’t even feel at all that the energy and blood in his body could fully support him to take another... foundation! 】

　The second volume will be released tomorrow - First Quarter Moon!
