Although Cheng Huaiqian didn’t have the talisman paper of this world, his sword had a devilish energy on it, which seemed to restrain evil spirits and could easily kill them.

Both of them found the correct way to deal with the enemies of this mission world, and they felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Cheng Huaiqian could kill the evil spirit without sticking a talisman, old Baitou was even more surprised and praised:

“Old Cheng is amazing, you don’t even need an exorcism charm to hurt an evil spirit!” How much money would this save!

However, Cheng Huaiqian replied calmly, “It’s nothing, I’ve run out of exorcism charms.”

How could old Baitou know that even the word “Exorcism Charm” was something that Cheng Huaiqian had just heard from him? In his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh, he was afraid that he had encountered the legendary ascetic spirit hunter warrior, and respected not to rely on foreign objects to kill evil spirits.

At this time, big head said: “I have prepared an empty exorcism charm, I can lend you if you need it, and I can sell it for a spirit stone.”

Xia Ruize was still very curious about the exorcism charm, so he exchanged a spirit stone for an exorcism charm from the big head, he attached the exorcism charm to the cloud breaking crossbow, and the introduction of the cloud breaking crossbow had one more sentence [there will be additional damage for spirit creatures].

The performance of this introduction in actual combat was that a crossbow arrow could kill an evil spirit, and really exerted the powerful attack power of the cloud-breaking crossbow as a yellow weapon.

It could be seen that there was still a big difference between sticking and not sticking the exorcism charm.

With this exorcism talisman, the evil spirits close by could be killed with a sword, the evil spirits farther away could be killed with a single arrow, and the evil spirits in the distance could be swept away by Xia Ruize’s mental power.

The powerful strength that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian gradually showed made old Baitou feel that he was lucky today, and the temporary teammates of this team were well recruited.

As they got farther and farther away from Ping´An City, the number of evil spirits around them increased, and the ‘spirit illumination’ lamp in Xiao Nan’s hands became bluer and brighter. Although it lost its warning function, it became the main light.

The light emitted by the lantern was blue and gloomy, and would outline the figure of the evil spirits, allowing humans to see the evil spirits around them clearly.

At the same time, because the number of evil spirits increased, Xiao Nan also got the opportunity to attack, and even the situation of five people facing five or more evil spirits at the same time became more.

After seeing a large number of evil spirits, Xia Ruize found that most of the evil spirits were not fixed in shape. To put it simply, they were irregular black shadows that grew into irregular shapes recklessly. He got used to seeing it, and he didn’t even have the feeling of horror anymore.

However, listening to the old Baitou’s words, these irregular black shadow-shaped evil spirits were the most common of the low-level evil spirits. They didn’t even have a special name, so they were just called evil spirits. So, the fact that they could easily kill these low-level evil spirits didn´t mean it was safe outside the city at night.

When he realized that everyone in the team would encounter evil spirits from time to time, the old white man who was at the front slowed down his speed and took every step carefully.

He had always been cautious, not to mention that he brought his nephew with him this time, and he did not dare to be sloppy.

In comparison, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were at the end, were in the most relaxed state.

The situation within fifty square meters was under Xia Ruize’s control. Cheng Huaiqian spread out the demonic energy, and the area covered by his demonic energy was his attack area.

The two also gradually discovered several special low-level evil spirits mentioned by the captain of the defensive team, and after a comparison, they found that the spirit stones that dropped after those evil spirits with names were killed would be a little different and more rounded than other low-level evil spirits.

Walking and walking, the old Baitou was puzzled. He was born in Ping´An City and grew up in Ping´An City. He was very familiar with the surrounding area. Even at night, he could roughly estimate how far he had traveled and where he was.

According to his original speculation, reaching this position was the upper limit that their team could bear, and then they should stop and move laterally in order to find more evil spirits to kill.

But the reality was that he still felt at ease in his current position, even if there were many evil spirits that suddenly appear, while thinking that he would face a lot of pressure, the two teammates in the rear would help solve it in time.

So that old Baitou just slowed down his pace further, but did not stop continuing to move forward.

Unconsciously, the old Baitou saw a green line appearing on the ground in front of him. He looked surprised and quickly reminded:

“This is the cordon set by the city lord. After crossing this line, there may be middle-level evil spirits ahead. Shall we continue to walk?”

“Of course, keep going, it’s still early.”

Cheng Huaiqian replied as a matter of course, the low-level evil spirits were not enough for him to sharpen his knives, and he wanted to see the level of the middle-level evil spirits.

The old Baitou really hesitated. The spirit stones of the middle-level evil spirits were more valuable, and it was rare to find suitable teammates to walk here easily. It would be a pity not to continue to move forward.

And there shouldn’t be many middle-level evil spirits near the cordon. If they didn’t go deep, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

“I also support moving on.”

Big head casted his vote.

In the past, when he formed a team out of the city, he was always at the forefront as the shield holder, and faced the greatest pressure from the evil spirits, but today it was too smooth. When he was under a lot of pressure, not only did he not need to cover his teammates in the back, but the teammates in the back would help him share the pressure, so that the process of his battle tonight could be described as comfortable.

The opportunity was rare, and big head was willing to continue to challenge it in depth.

Old Baitou made up his mind to move forward, but he still turned his head to observe the state of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, and repeatedly confirmed: “Old Cheng, Xiao Ze, you two are not one-star spirit hunting warriors, do you feel pressure now??”

“It’s not too much pressure, we can keep going.”

Cheng Huaiqian urged calmly.

The calmness of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize gave old Baitou courage. He gritted his teeth and took the lead to cross the green line on the ground.

After walking for less than five minutes, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from under Xiao Nan’s feet and instantly completely surrounded Xiao Nan.

Cheng Huaiqian’s long knife and Xia Ruize’s long sword attacked one after another, and old Baitou who reacted in a hurry raised the big sword and slashed down, the shadow was successfully killed, but Xiao Nan was also frightened and sat on the ground, his teeth chattering constantly.

The little guy had not yet encountered a middle-level evil spirit in actual combat. After being entangled, he only felt cold and shivering.

Old Baitou deeply regretted that he was still greedy, and arranged Xiao Nan to prepare to return:

” Guys, let’s stop here tonight, let’s go back.

“Want to go? I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”

Cheng Huaiqian’s tone was inexplicable, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he laughed playfully.

The upper half of his face was covered by a hood, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked particularly eerie under the light of the firelight and the blue lantern. In this situation, Old Baitou froze in his heart, and immediately became alert.

However, Cheng Huaiqian threw the torch in his hand forward, and as the firelight passed by, everyone else saw that it was not the night that was particularly dark in front of him, but a dense array of evil spirits.

“We are surrounded by middle-level evil spirits.”

In the panic of Lao Baitou, Xiao Nan and big head, Xia Ruize stated this fact in a flat tone.

Three minutes after crossing the cordon, Xia Ruize keenly noticed that the number of middle-level evil spirits around him suddenly increased.

Originally, he thought that this was normal, but it didn’t take long to find out that the gap between the number of evil spirits they had encountered after walking in the low-level evil spirit area for nearly an hour, and the number of evil spirits that surrounded them now after stepping into the middle level evil spirit activity area for five minutes was too big.

Xia Ruize immediately realized that this would not be normal.

“Everyone, I made a mistake in my judgment. If we can successfully escape back, I apologize to everyone!”

Old Baitou’s voice was hoarse. He had always been cautious, and he never expected the current situation. The overwhelming middle-level evil spirits slowly approached them, and the outlined figures illuminated by the blue lamp overlapped.

“According to your experience, shouldn’t there be so many evil spirits here?”

It was clearly at a critical moment, but Cheng Huaiqian’s voice was still unhurried, and asked with two points of curiosity, wanting to confirm the guess.

” Of course, there shouldn’t be! Forget about it, I’ll start and we’ll rush out together!”

There was a little more urgency in big head’s voice, and he no longer used the exorcism talisman stingly. He pasted three exorcism charms on his big shield in a row, and then signaled others to follow behind him, ready to rush out together.

“But you’re looking in the wrong direction.” Xia Ruize promptly stopped the big head who was about to rush forward, pointed to the ground under his feet in the eyes of the three aborigines, and explained, “There are evil spirits under our feet that will hold us here. The small area has turned around, so the direction you think of returning to the city is actually the direction of going deep.”

As soon as Xia Ruize’s words came out, Old Baitou and big head couldn’t help shivering. They had fought against evil spirits for many years and had never heard of such a situation.

Common sense and trust in teammates clashed. Old Baitou and big head looked at Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were still calm in this situation, looked at each other, and finally decided to believe in years of experience. Under the current situation, how they not see that their two teammates were a little weird.

Seeing that they insisted on rushing away from Ping’An City, Cheng Huaiqian laughed “hehe”, Xia Ruize took his lover’s hand soothingly, and followed them together.

So, big head opened the way with a shield in front, and Lao Baitou and Xiao Nan followed closely behind and attacked hard from left to right, rushing forward together.

After that, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian released their weapons completely and launched a powerful attack on the surrounding evil spirits.

Before, the two of them had been walking behind their teammates honestly, and their movement skills had not been shown, but now after they let go of their hands completely, they quickly moved among the evil spirits, so fast that the evil spirits could not catch them.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not retreat but advanced, and rushed straight into the surrounding evil spirits, and the middle-level evil spirits dissipated one after another.

Big head and old Bitou ran quickly for a minute, and after the exorcism charms were quickly consumed, they finally realized that the situation was not right, they were walking slowly when they came, according to their current running method, they should have seen the green and bright cordon long ago.

But in fact, they only saw more and more evil spirits around them, and they were shocked. Old Baitou and big head realized that what Old Cheng and Xiao Ze said might be true, and they were really unknowingly confused by evil spirits about the direction.

Under the shock, the two subconsciously turned their heads to look for Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize. Fortunately, the two mysterious bigwigs did not abandon them, and their figures appeared and disappeared not far behind.

The reason why the figures of the big bosses would appear and disappear was because there were evil spirits blocking Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize from time to time, but they would soon be killed by them.

“Don’t keep going?”

Cheng Huaiqian’s voice came with a hint of regret.

The strength of the middle-level evil spirits was one step higher than that of the low-level evil spirits, and with more numbers, he was fighting to the point of exhaustion, and wanted to continue to explore further, but the three seemed to be awake and ready to return.

Old Baitou and big head heard black lines on their faces, but they still hurriedly ran in the direction of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, “Boss, let’s go, let’s go!”

“Let’s go, go back early and ask where there are such exorcism charms, the effect is good, buy more.”

Xia Ruize suggested to his lover in his heart. After the weapon was affixed with this kind of exorcism charm, the attack power of the weapon itself plus the effect of the exorcism would cause great damage to the evil spirits. It was very practical and it was necessary to buy more spares.

Looking at the reactions of the old Baitou and the big head, the situation tonight was beyond their experience. Xia Ruize decided to restrain himself first out of prudence.

Xia Ruize spoke, but Cheng Huaiqian did not disagree. This time, the big head was still leading the way, old Baitou and Xiao Nan followed, and Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were at the rear.
