Bloody battle in the wild (3): Weird

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.

To be the rear meant to seize the opportunity to kill the surrounding middle-level evil spirits.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were not uninjured. The result of the large number of evil spirits was that they would also be attacked by evil spirits.

However, the two had strong recovery ability, high physique, and high vitality. It was difficult for the evil spirit to cause too much damage to them. Even if the place where the evil spirit attacked would feel cold, this feeling would completely disappear within two seconds.

They dared to go straight to exchange injuries, but the evil spirits couldn't. When the evil spirits were attacked, their bodies became thin at light, they were directly scattered in severe cases. They couldn't last the third round at all and could only drop spirit stones.

While fighting, Xia Ruize was really busy, he had to take control of the overall situation and get back the spiritual stone that had fallen to the ground.

There were two big bosses blocking the evil spirits chasing from behind. Big head and old Baitou were running this time and saw the green line on the ground. After struggling to cross the line, the front was suddenly empty, and the number of evil spirits that were chasing behind became less.

The two continued to run with Xiao Nan, and found that there were no evil spirits around. They turned their heads and found that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not follow, and remained on the other side of the cordon, killing evil spirits continuously.

"Wow, Brother Cheng and Brother Ze are too strong. When can I be like them?"

Xiao Nan stopped following his uncle's pace, and cast envious glances at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize. He also longed to be able to easily kill the evil spirits.

Old Baitou and big head looked at each other, but they saw the bitterness in each other's eyes. This kind of strength was something that could not be acquired by time.

Although the two mysterious teammates did not take off their cloaks from the beginning to the end, they knew that they were young, yet so young and so powerful, talent and training were indispensable.

It might be the children of some aristocratic family who went out to walk and experience, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the contradiction between the strength of the two, but the lack of experience.

After killing the middle-level evil spirits who dared to chase after him, Cheng Huaiqian finally felt a little happy. He handed over the spiritual stone that he had put away, and waited for his lover to unify them and then divide them up. Cheng Huaiqian encouraged his lover:

"I don't think we need to go back to the military camp to continue training. It's better to kill evil spirits every day and get spirit stones."

Xia Ruize angrily took advantage of the darkness to pinch his lover's face. This guy said it nicely, but the main reason was that he didn't like that the barracks would restrict them from getting close!

Sure enough, Cheng Huaiqian took the opportunity to hug his lover's waist, and lowered his head to print Xia Ruize's exposed lips.

In the darkness of the night, Xia Ruize let the lover go, he pushed away Cheng Huaiqian when he couldn't catch his breath, he turned around and walked in the direction of Ping'An City, and said in a bad breath:

"Let's go, others are still waiting. I think the training opportunity in the military camp is very rare. If we can take care of it, try to take care of it as much as possible."

After the two of them cut through the night and walked into the range illuminated by the torches of the three of the old Baitou, old Baitou immediately took the initiative to greet them.

"You two have worked hard! Thank you for your help."

Old Baitou took the initiative to hand over two exorcism charms as he spoke, and the team reward distribution was distributed, but the favors that should be accepted still had to be accepted. If it wasn't for the reminder and protection of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, they might have been trapped by the middle-level evil spirits tonight and couldn't escape.

Of course, the reason was because Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were strong enough to make the old Baitou decide to go deeper.

Cheng Huaiqian unceremoniously accepted two exorcism charms, and the other side also sent two more.

"Where is this for sale?"

Cheng Huaiqian continued to ask.

This sentence alone was enough. The first thing every spirit hunting warrior looked for in the local area was the place that sells supplies. The two mysterious bosses didn't even find this. They must be very unfamiliar with Ping´An City.

So, on the next journey back to the city, the old Baotou chattered a lot about the situation of Ping´An City.

Ping'An City was near the evil sea, and there were evil spirits active all year round outside the city at night, but the number of evil spirits was rare and most of them were low-level evil spirits. Only around the full moon of each month, the number of evil spirits would be slightly more.

Many spirit-hunting warriors in Ping'An City take advantage of this time to hunt evil spirits to obtain spirit stones.

The moon was the fullest on august fifteenth of each year, and it was the time when the evil spirits outside the city were most active, when the full moon tribulation occurred every three years, the number and activity of evil spirits would reach their peak, and they will even invade Ping´An city.

According to historical records, a long time ago, the full moon tribulation was a nightmare for the city of Ping´An. But the spirit-hunting warriors continued to grow and develop. Human beings were no longer always on the weak side in the face of evil spirits, and even the spirit-hunting warriors began to greedily chase evil spirits in their frequented areas.

After that, the full moon tribulation in Ping'An city every three years had become a challenge that attracted countless spirit hunting warriors to come to share a piece of the pie, danger came with opportunities.

"I have been a spirit hunting warrior for more than ten years, and I have experienced five full moon tribulations before and after. The ten to five days before the arrival of each full moon tribulation is the peak period of my activities. At this time, I go out of the city at night, not only can the most spiritual stones be harvested, bit the danger is also bearable.

But the situation I encountered today is something I have ever seen in my life; the evil spirits will design to frame us? Unheard of! I will report the relevant situation to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, this year's full moon tribulation seems to be more terrifying than ever…"

Old Baitou was puzzled. He was so cautious and fell into the trap of evil spirits. When did the evil spirits become so smart?

"I think the big man above may have known it long ago. I heard that hundreds of temporary defense team members have been recruited this year."

The always silent big head suddenly interjected.

Old Baitou was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

"Who said it wasn't. Before the last full moon tribulation, the temporary defense team recruited 50 people. That full moon tribulation was really dangerous. Of the 500 defense team only half were left, and from the temporary team, only 30 were left.

This time I heard that more than 200 temporary team members were recruited, alas… I should have thought of it. "

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were speechless. Weren't they the unlucky temporary team members?

After getting a lot of information from the mouths of old Baitou and big head, knowing that even if they went out of the city during the day, they would not encounter evil spirits, Cheng Huaiqian had to follow Xia Ruize to continue training in the military camp, anyway, they could run out at will at night.

After climbing over the city wall and returning to the city, Old Baitou led the way and brought the five back to the Guitu Tavern.

This time, Xiao Nan was placed in the seat to allow him to have two drinks to suppress his shock. Old Baitou personally led Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize to a secret door in the tavern. After knocking on the secret door according to a specific rhythm, the door was opened.

The three walked through a long passage and entered a wide cellar. The cellar was brightly lit by candles, and there were various weapons and armors hanging around it. At first glance, it was a small hidden shop.

"Old head Zhang, let me introduce two friends. It's believable. Don't cheat others."

Old Baitou went straight to one of the counters, and said hello to the person who was dozing lazily on the counter.

"I don't have a problem with someone you think you can trust, you two, what do you want?"

The man glanced at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, and didn't mind that the two of them were still covered with hoods and couldn't see their faces, he asked lazily.

"I bought my weapons and talismans from old head Zhang. He has all kinds of weapons and armors with carved patterns. The more patterns carved on the weapons and armors, the more effective they can play with the exorcism charm at critical moments.

In addition, there are all kinds of things specially designed to deal with evil spirits. The most important thing is the exorcism charm. The exorcism charm can be attached to the weapon to increase the power of the weapon, and it can be attached to the armor to prevent the evil spirit from approaching. It's a good thing that will never be too much, other small objects and lighting lamps and so on…"

Old Baitou also knew old head Zhang´s attitude, so he simply took the initiative to undertake the introduction work.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian listened patiently and asked a few questions from time to time.

Old head Zhang saw that the two of them didn't seem to understand the market situation very well, so he could not help laying back lazily, listening with one ear but not with the other.

Here, the old Baitou was introducing. There, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian kept discussing. Finally, the two kept three of the thirty-six low-level spirit stones and twenty-two medium-level spirit stones they got tonight, and replaced the rest with 6 spirit illumination lamps worth 3 spirit stones and 60 Exorcism charms.

One middle-level spirit stone could be exchanged for three low-level spirit stones. Old head Zhang took over thirty low-level spirit stones and sixteen middle-level spirit stones with a face full of surprise. He had no idea what these two looked like. The country bumpkin who didn't know anything was actually a big customer, so generous?

Old Baitou was not surprised, just by looking at the skills of these two bosses, he knew that they wouldn´t lack spirit stones.

After making a big deal, old head Zhang decided to give away two more fine-quality cloaks. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were wearing clothes that looked like street stalls. It was really funny that spirit hunters wore cloaks of this quality.

After leaving the underground store, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian exchanged a low-level spirit stone with old Baitou for 100 coins of this world, shell was the currency with high purchasing power.

Old Baitou and big head made an appointment with the two to continue to form a team tomorrow, and then went home separately.

This night, old Baitou and Xiao Nan got 14 low-level spirit stones together, which was almost equal to half a year's income.

In addition to the excitement, old Baitou also had some worries in his heart. He even began to think about whether to leave Ping'An City before the full moon tribulation this year.

After big head's reminder, old Baitou suddenly realized that there were too many temporary city guards recruited by Ping'An city this year, and he felt a little uneasy. It seemed that the upper management had already known some bad news in advance, but it was not made public.

On the other hand, when Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian passed by the stall selling cloaks before, they threw 3 shells on it, 1 shell for each cloak, and the extra one was counted as compensation. The stall owner got 3 shells inexplicably, and quickly put them away in his bag.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the barracks. Because the sergeants who were guarding the city wall at night would change their shifts, there was always a small illusion cover on the door on the side of the barracks.

Compared with the bunks in the barracks, it WAS more comfortable to sleep their own tent.

It was nearly twelve o'clock when they went back, they could sleep for four hours before getting up early the next day for training. Cheng Huaiqian hugged his lover into his arms, and the two fell asleep soon after touching the pillow, until the early morning when trumpet sounded.

In the darkness and chaos, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the team in time, and no one noticed that their whereabouts seemed a little unusual.

The drowsy bearded man even teased Xia Ruize: "You're still a little baby who can't be weaned, you still need your brother to sleep with you."

Although Xia Ruize's teammates didn't think it was too crowded to sleep at night, but they still couldn't see that Cheng Huaiqian still had to tell a short bedtime story to his "brother" before going to bed, was it so childish?

Xia Ruize turned his head expressionlessly, his lover made him weave such an illusion, what could he do, he was also very embarrassed!

The daily training still started with running around the city in armor. The day before, there were still soldiers who were not too concerned about training. Today was different. In order to obtain the spiritual stone, everyone was full of fighting spirit, but not long after the start, many soldiers cursed their mothers in their hearts.

Because today's running speed was even faster than the previous day, the soldiers who had originally calculated that they should be able to survive five laps as long as they persisted seriously, fell to the ground from the third lap one after another.

In the end, the number of people who successfully completed the running training mission and returned to the military camp was not as large as the previous day.

The training difficulty of the Spirit Shooting Crossbow in the morning also suddenly increased, from the need to shoot three humanoid cards in a row directly to the requirement of shooting five humanoid cards in a row.

The morning before, many people were able to complete the assessment by reluctantly shooting the third humanoid card by luck, but no matter how lucky they were, they couldn't shoot five humanoid cards in a row.

As a result, fewer soldiers had eaten lunch than the day before, and more soldiers could only work overtime and practice on an empty stomach, but they felt bitter in their hearts. It was a problem to be so hungry every day.

In the afternoon training, in addition to physical training, battle training was also added. The soldiers finally realized clearly that the officials were trying to trick them, and many of them didn't even perform well the day before. Where could they get the spirit stone?

Sure enough, when they assembled in the evening, there were only a mere 30 soldiers who got the spirit stones. On the contrary, 12 members of the temporary defense team who had not eaten three meals for two consecutive days were eliminated.
