Infinite Lucky Emperor

Chapter 72: sea ​​of ​​evil

It's not enough if you don't get eliminated. The city guard team just wants to train strictly, but doesn't want to deliberately starve people to death.

Even if the physique of the spirit hunting warriors is stronger than that of ordinary people, it may be fatal if they are not supplemented by continuous high-intensity training for many days. Therefore, the soldiers who couldn't keep up with the training progress were simply eliminated.

Of course, before leaving the barracks, they can get a full meal, which can be regarded as compensation for their performance in the past two days by the moat.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian belonged to the group where only the two of them received the rewarded spiritual stone. Now, the other soldiers in the same group looked at them differently. They were masters!

During the whole day, Xia Ruize kept reciting the spiritual art while training, and his talents were activated from time to time. He finally completely resolved the spiritual power of a low-level spiritual stone, but the harvest was a little disappointing, but the strength value increased. 0.1.

Compared to the previous quest world, where hunting a wild animal might get a 0.1 increase in strength, the reward in this quest world doesn't seem to be powerful enough. It took a whole day to get a 0.1 strength increase.

However, considering that the previous world was a novice world with generous rewards, I could also understand the gap between rewards.

Even so, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian's interest in spirit stones has not diminished. They are still ready to collect as many spirit stones as possible. Even if this task world is too late to absorb them all, they can slowly dissolve the spirit power when they have time in the future.

Night fell again, and after the barracks entered a state of rest, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai sneaked out.

The cloak they wore today was the one given by the store owner. It was of high quality and fine workmanship. It could hide their identities very well and was easy to move around. The old man found them.

There is no way, there are not many spirit hunting warriors who still do not take off their hoods after entering the tavern. The two young people walking together have screened out some of them, and the old white head who has been waiting in the tavern has accurately discovered Xia Ruize who has just entered the tavern. and Cheng Huaiqian.

"Old Cheng? Ozawa?" Old Baitou pretended to walk to a table beside the table of the two of them casually, looked away, but asked the two of them softly.

"How mysterious?"

Hiding under the wide sleeves of the cloak, Cheng Huaiqian was fiddling with Xia Ruize's fingers and asked a question with a smile.

Hearing the voice and confirming that it was Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, the old white head breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and explained nervously and quickly:

"Something happened yesterday! More than 30 small and large teams left the city last night, but none of the most powerful ones came back. I made a special inquiries, and those who came back were only active in the low-level evil spirit area. 's team.

I went to the city lord's mansion today to report what happened last night. The city lord personally met me and said he would handle this matter and told me not to spread the word. I suspect... Those who didn't come back are also middle-level evil spirits. The active area encountered a similar situation to ours.

I'm not planning to go out of the city these few days. I advise you to be more careful. If you still want to go out of the city, the man in red leather armor at the entrance of the tavern is called 'Da Niu'. His younger brother 'Xiao Niu' went out last night and couldn't come back. He is going out of the city to see today. He has good strength and is familiar with the surroundings. You can join him. "

The old man didn't look at Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian all the time he spoke, and the big wine glass in his hand covered his mouth, as if he just sat here and had a drink by chance.

After quickly explaining the situation, the old white head finally said, "Take care!" He got up and walked to the other seats to sit down, chatting with others from time to time.

"It doesn't look good..."

Cheng Huaiqian looked at the big bull who was attracting the team members at the entrance of the tavern, and said softly, it was just the interest and eagerness in his voice that betrayed his true thoughts.

Xia Ruize was accustomed to it. He never saw his lover worry about the difficulty of the task. This guy simply wanted the task to be as difficult as possible.

After careful observation, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian found that compared with the cheerful atmosphere of the previous day, there was more anxiety and depression in the tavern tonight.

For a long time, no one stood on the small table in the center of the tavern to recruit teammates, and sporadic people like Daniel who tried to recruit teammates were wandering around the tavern trying to persuade the spirit hunting warriors.

I have to say that these spirit hunting warriors are very sensitive to the situation. After realizing that the situation outside the city may be different, most of them decided to temporarily hold down and wait for the situation to become clear. They are very patient and vigilant.

Finally, Daniel turned to their vicinity, trying to find familiar spirit hunting warriors and leave the city in a group.

When Daniel passed by, Cheng Huaiqian directly took the strip of metal from his hand, bent it easily and opened it easily, and threw it back to Daniel, pointing to himself and Xia Ruize, "Count us two."

"good!"

Daniel agreed with one bite. Everyone was reluctant to leave the city tonight. He originally planned to convene a team of nine people, but most of the invitations ended up with no answers. It was rare that two people were willing to join, no matter whether they were or not. Knowing the situation, regardless of their strength, multiple strengths are always good.

In the end, after walking around in the tavern for almost half an hour, Daniel gathered enough people to prepare to set off. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were not in a hurry, and sat there listening to a lot of gossip and guesses from the spirit hunting warriors.

Most of the spirit-hunting warriors believed that those who left the city the day before and failed to return crossed the cordon, approached the evil seaside, and encountered high-level evil spirits.

In Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize's view, this guess is not necessarily wrong. The only thing that is different from the facts is probably that they didn't guess how those people got close to the evil sea.

In the end, there were eight people in the team that gathered together. They followed Daniel quickly through Ping'an City, climbed over the city wall, and jumped outside the city.

The eight spirit-hunting warriors followed Daniel away from Ping An City according to the formation of the first three, the second and the third.

Unlike the cautious and cautious old white head, Daniel is more bold and direct, rushing in the direction away from Ping An City without stopping, even if the number of low-level evil spirits around him increases, he does not slow down, but continues to fast. Dash forward.

It only took more than 20 minutes for the group to rush to Lv Yingying's cordon. Seeing that Daniel still did not slow down and continued to rush forward, finally a teammate couldn't hold back and suggested:

"Should we slow down for a while, take a rest, and then move on?" Many low-level evil spirits missed out before they could kill them, which is a pity.

Daniel crossed the cordon and continued to walk forward until his teammate made the same suggestion again:

"No, I'm afraid it's too late, I'm going to the beach to see it myself!"

"What?", "What did you say?"…

Four exclamations came out at the same time. Except for Daniel and a well-informed friend, Lao Lin, and the indifferent Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, the other four were frightened by Daniel's true thoughts.

"Are you crazy?! How can there be such a good place to go to the beach, if you encounter a high-level evil spirit, don't you want to live?!"

One of them asked in a low voice, and at the same time reached out and grabbed Daniel, preventing him from going forward.

"Yeah, you can't just think about yourself, but also the rest of us. If you want to go to the beach in normal times, we'll go with you, but now it's before the full moon! , I don't agree anyway, I don't even want to go deep into the middle-level evil spirit activity area!"

"Da Niu, you are too inauthentic. You didn't tell us in advance that you wanted to go to the beach tonight!"

This temporarily assembled team had a huge disagreement because of Daniel's true thoughts. The four people who held the objection at the moment refused to continue to move forward. They also dragged Daniel and Lao Lin to keep them from leaving. stopped in place.

Xia Ruize noticed that during the time when the people in front were arguing, the small piece of ground under his feet was supported by the evil spirit and turned 180 degrees, and their directions were reversed again.

Cheng Huaiqian, who knew about it, was almost not happy. Today is different from yesterday. Today, their teammates want to go deeper.

However, this also proves that it is not the middle-level evil spirits wandering around who are really planning this trap for human beings. Otherwise, the strategy should be changed in time according to the actual situation, instead of setting traps as soon as conflicts between human spirit hunting warriors are found.

"In any case, Lao Lin and I will continue to move forward. If you want to be together, you can go together. If you don't want to, you can go back by yourself!"

Daniel stubbornly said that he and his friend Lao Lin knew about it and insisted on going to the beach. The other four recruited teammates were unwilling to move forward, so everyone looked at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize together, waiting for them to express their opinions.

Xia Ruize: …

Xia Ruize was stuck for a while. The current situation is that they want to go further, but they actually have to turn their heads and go back. Xia Ruize simply did not hide it, and repeated to Daniel what he had said the night before:

"There were evil spirits under our feet that turned the area where we were standing, so the direction you thought we were going back to the city was actually going deeper into the sea. The two of us are willing to accompany you to the sea, but we should turn our heads and go back. "

As soon as Xia Ruize's helpless words were finished, Cheng Huaiqian finally couldn't help laughing out loud, propped on Xia Ruize's back, and urged a few people: "Hahaha, I think you should decide which direction to go quickly, there are people around. Evil spirits are about to come around."

"Where did the two of you come from, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid at this time!"

Some people were angry that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn't cooperate, and couldn't help but sneer.

Daniel's character is rough and thin. He frowned subconsciously in disbelief when he heard Xia Ruize's words, but then a thought popped up in his mind, and he couldn't suppress it. , Da Niu asked in a trembling voice:

"You, are you telling the truth?"

At this moment, Daniel seemed to know why his younger brother could not come back. The younger brother's strength is not much worse than him, and it is not a problem to deal with the middle-level evil spirits, but if at a critical moment, the younger brother runs in the wrong direction and instead runs to the sea of ​​evil...

Seeing Xia Ruize nodding, Da Niu made up his mind in an instant, and shouted: "Don't be arguing! Go back when you go back!"

After speaking, when Xian Xian took the lead, turned around and walked in the same direction.

In this way, the four opposing team members are silent. What is the situation now? Did Daniel really decide to go back to the city or did he believe what the man in the cape said?

Daniel's friend Lao Lin followed closely, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize also turned around and went back. The remaining four looked at each other a few times, and finally decided to catch up.

Humph, I was almost cheated by them together!

They don't believe in any direction reversal, and turning their heads back must be the direction of returning to the city!

Of course, the fact was slapped in the face. As the group continued to move forward, the surrounding fog became thicker and the number of evil spirits increased, but the green warning line was never seen.

"Da, Daniel, we, shouldn't we really be walking to the seaside?"

One of the team members finally couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and asked.

Daniel remained silent until he was asked twice in a row, "I don't know."

But looking at his unwavering appearance while fighting and moving forward, it really doesn't look like he doesn't know anything.

"No, I don't want to go forward, I want to go back!"

The most terrifying conjecture was verified. Several team members who were unwilling to go deeper immediately quit, but they no longer dared to go back alone. There were too many middle-level evil spirits around, and only eight people could help each other. Reluctantly, if it loses half of its combat power, it may not be able to hold it at all.

Daniel continued to move forward without saying a word.

"Da Niu, you killed us!" Another person hurriedly said, and turned to try to persuade Lao Lin, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, "Da Niu is going to the beach to find his younger brother's relics, why do you all go to the beach to die with you?"

"Oh? What do you say?"

Cheng Huaiqian asked with interest, he and Xia Ruize only knew that Daniel must go deep into the sea, but they didn't know why he insisted on going.

"You guys don't know what to make fun of?!"

The person who spoke was stunned, and was instantly furious, but seeing Cheng Huaiqian's indifferent appearance, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, and explained while killing the evil spirit:

"If someone dies in the hands of evil spirits, the evil spirits don't want the clothes on his body, and they will be taken to the beach when the tide is high in the middle of the night. There are spirit hunting warriors who left the city and failed to return. If his relatives and friends want to get the relics back If they do, they will find a way to reach the beach within three days, and it is possible to find the relics.”

"Da Niu must go to get back his brother's relics, but we have to follow him to die in vain..."

"Hey, if we can't go back tonight, the evil spirits won't let you go! It's usually difficult to rush to the beach, and you have to take risks at this time! You just don't take us Be friends!"

The four soul-hunting warriors, who were so regretful, did not dare to return alone. They could only scold Da Niu with all their strength to resist the evil spirit, hoping that the other three would wake up and return to the city together.

Daniel silently accepted it, but the steps under his feet did not stop, rushing straight to the sea.

There are a lot of teammates tonight, and their strength is stronger than the teammates of the previous night. Under the circumstance of working together, they were not overwhelmed by evil spirits. Instead, they broke through the siege of evil spirits all the way, and faintly saw a light on the ground in front of them. the red line.

In the dark night and thick fog, this red line is very conspicuous.

"That's the last cordon set by the city lord, hehe, it's close to the beach after crossing the line, but you may encounter high-level evil spirits after crossing the line. In any case, we can't go forward, Daniel, you Do it yourself."

In front of the red line, everyone stopped, and Daniel finally said thanks: "Thank you for accompanying me here. If my Daniel can come back alive, I will definitely come to thank you one by one!"

After speaking, Daniel stepped over the red line and continued to walk towards the seaside.

This time, even Lao Lin stopped in place, resisting the evil spirits with a few others, trying to hold on for a while, hoping to wait for the Daniel to come back safely.

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize bypassed the crowd and followed Daniel across the red line.

"Are you two crazy?"

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. What was the situation with these two people? Could they be Daniel's relatives?

"I haven't seen the Evil Sea yet. I've come here. I'm always going to see it."

Cheng Huaiqian casually left a sentence, and followed Daniel with Xia Ruize.

They walked a few steps, and when they looked back, they couldn't see the figure behind them, but when they looked forward, there were surprisingly not many evil spirits.

Since leaving the city, a layer of fog has been shrouded above the head, surrounded by gloomy darkness, as if evil spirits are hidden everywhere.

On the contrary, now, the dense fog above the head has all dissipated, revealing the bright half-full moon and the dazzling galaxy. From a distance, you can still see the vast sea ahead.

Daniel took a deep look at the two behind him, and said thanks again: "Anyway, I thank you Daniel!"

He was grateful for whatever reason they had accompanied him to the end.

"No, we also want to thank you for leading the way, otherwise we wouldn't have seen such a magnificent view."

Cheng Huaiqian's voice was pleasant, and he took Xia Ruize's hand and slowly walked towards the seaside.

big cow:…

Daniel didn't care about whether the two were mentally ill, he rushed to the beach, and then he knelt down on the beach, begging for something.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian stood on the beach and looked at the sea.

"If this place is not so dangerous, it will be a very beautiful check-in spot."

Xia Ruize smiled and leaned on Cheng Huaiqian's shoulder. Influenced by his lover, he felt very relaxed at a time when he should have been nervous.

"I will accompany you to see more and more beautiful scenery. When we are old, sitting on the rocking chair in the garden, there are countless memories to share."

Cheng Huaiqian embraced his lover's waist, turned his head and gently kissed Xia Ruize's hair. At the same time, the black energy on Cheng Huaiqian's body surged backwards, shrouding a group of black shadows rising from the ground.

"The last time I saw the Lord God sells various life skills, I plan to strengthen my painting skills, and then draw all my memories to save."

Xia Ruize shared his new ideas with great interest. He wanted to draw all the memories of the two of them together, and even make them into animations, which can be enjoyed at any time in the future.

"Okay, then I'll learn to compose and arrange music, and add your own background music to your paintings."

Anyone who saw the cheerful smile on Cheng Huaiqian's face would never have imagined that a high-level evil spirit was struggling endlessly under his hands, but unfortunately, the extent of the struggle was getting smaller and smaller.

In what should be the most dangerous evil seaside, the two chatted freely about the little romance in life.

A big wave hit the coast, and something hit Daniel's face head on. Daniel took a closer look and found it was the blue leather armor his brother wore last night.

Resisting the grief and putting away the leather armor, Daniel got up and left the evil sea.

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize also turned around, and they pressed their heads together to admire the black ball the size of a slap in Cheng Huaiqian's hand.

This is a high-level evil spirit. It was in a very large state during the battle, but it has now become a pet that was subdued by Cheng Huaiqian's [Devil's Coercion], so it shrunk into a spherical shape and gently danced in Cheng Huaiqian's hands.

"Why don't you kill it, baby, I want to see what the high-level evil spirit's spirit stone looks like."

Cheng Huaiqian looked at the ball evil spirit in his hand, and suddenly suggested.

Xia Ruize looked at the small ball that was instantly stiff and solidified in mid-air, reached out and poked it, and replied with a smile, "Let's keep it. Compared to the other three, it's already round and cute."

The tallest of the dwarfs, the high-level evil spirit in the spherical state is already the least terrifying of Cheng Huaiqian's dark pets, and Xia Ruize is willing to kill it.

"You two, let's go."

Daniel greeted the two from a distance. He was not overwhelmed by grief. After all, he had already prepared himself before coming, and it was far beyond his imagination to be able to get his brother's relic so smoothly.

Too lazy to think about why the evil sea was calm and no evil spirits were seen, Daniel just wanted to rush back to a safe city right now.

"You lead the way."

Cheng Huaiqian said casually, turning his hand to put away the little black ball in his hand.

Daniel had some shadows at the moment, and looked at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize with slightly dissatisfied eyes. The attitude of these two people was a bit too relaxed and casual, and he didn't take into account his grief at all.

Daniel didn't say anything in the end. Of course, he crossed the red line. The five teammates who stayed behind have disappeared, and they should have returned to the city.

The three quickly moved away from the evil sea, and it didn't take long for them to find the five people who had returned one step ahead. Probably because the five people in front had led away a large number of evil spirits, the pressure on the three people behind was very small.

The five Lao Lin were also surprised and delighted to see the three of them again. They were surprised that they left the Evil Seaside unharmed. They were delighted that after the meeting of the eight people, they were more confident that they would return to the city safely.

The eight people rushed in the direction of Ping An City, and finally successfully crossed the green cordon, over the city wall, and returned to the safe city. As soon as they landed, several people collapsed to the ground. It was so exciting that they seemed to have walked on the edge of a cliff.

"Everyone, it's fate to meet again."

Not long after climbing over the city wall, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly said goodbye, then pulled Xia Ruize and disappeared into the alley.

"Da Niu! You almost killed Lao Tzu, don't try to run!"

After a short rest, he returned rationally and remembered what had happened before. Several of the team members who had been pitted stood up angrily and rushed towards Daniel. They had been holding back their anger for a long time, and they would not beat Daniel. It is impossible to vent.

As a result, several people fought into a group. If the sergeant of the defense team heard the sound approaching, and a few people left quickly, I am afraid that the fight would have been overwhelming.

On the other side, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai were walking around in the alleys of Ping'an City. After a certain turn, a layer of illusion was set around them, and they watched three people in black appear behind them. They searched for the place where they disappeared for a long time.

"Why are people missing?"

"Keep looking!"

The three men in black searched around for half an hour, and finally determined that they were indeed lost, so they had to go back to their lives, but they didn't know that the person they were looking for was following behind them, chasing them all the way until they saw them entering the City Lord's Mansion. .

"Do you want us to hide the news of the abnormality of the middle-level evil spirits?"

Xia Ruize touched his chin and asked suspiciously.

The three men in black followed Lao Baitou from the Homecoming Tavern and stared at them. Although they did not follow them out of the city, they were found immediately after they returned to the city. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were really curious about who was staring at them, but they didn't. Unexpectedly, it was basically the city lord that Old Baitou had just met during the day and didn't run away.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If you want us to keep it a secret in order to avoid panic, just come to us in an open and honest way. I'm afraid there is something hidden in this sneaky approach, but it doesn't matter. It's getting late, we should go back to rest. ."

Cheng Huaiqian calmly analyzed a sentence at the beginning, but at the end, his voice suddenly became excited, and he wanted to go back to the barracks by pulling Xia Ruize.

He hates the barracks during the day, always being watched by a lot of people, making him want to get close to his lover, but he likes the barracks at night, when no one can disturb them.
