Chapter Sixteen: Thrilling
The entire Five Spirits Immortal Cultivation City is like a blooming lotus, centered on the flower core, rich and powerful, and has a central position, thus radiating to the outside.
All the way to the edge of the petals, that is, the edge of the city.
This is the composition of the Five Spirits Immortal Cultivation City Immortal Cultivation Society, which is simple, rough, and reveals a ruthless reality.
As for the West Outer City and the East Outer City, those who rely on the expansion of the Cultivation City and do not even enter the edge of the petals, are naturally some low-level cultivators who are struggling to survive.
The more peripheral the cultivators are, the lower their strength, the worse their survival methods, and the poorer their ability to resist risks. If they encounter some small risks, it is very likely that they will be a catastrophe.
Xinde Lane and Xin'an Lane, these alleys are on the edge of Xiwai City. Most of the casual cultivators living here are in the early stages of Qi refining, and the high rent is already in the gap.
When the evil spirit came, all the casual cultivators living nearby lived in fear.
For things like evil spirits that are good at hiding and treacherous, they can only hope for the patrol team.
The immortal cultivators in the patrol team were not composed of disciples from Wuquan Mountain. They were busy practicing and did not have time to do this. They were like houses, and they gave some small immortal cultivators.
It has been two days since the evil spirit occurred.
Two people died.
They were all in Xin'an Lane. When the patrol team arrived, the evil spirits had already been hidden.
Therefore, the patrol team issued a notice asking all the casual cultivators to rest assured that they have drawn people from other places and will definitely remove the evil spirits and protect everyone's safety.
At the same time, the evil-proof talisman has risen again, and it has approached a hundred mark.
The savings of a family may not be afforded, so what if the ten families join together to buy one?
There are nearly 10,000 scattered cultivators nearby, but the supply of evil talismans is still in short supply.
Seeing this situation, Wu Tao couldn't help but be glad that he had the foresight and bought it early, otherwise he would not be able to afford any one of them now, and if the evil spirit comes, he will definitely die.
As for entrusting life to the patrol?
He also understood the deaths in the past two days.
Wu Tao gently pressed his temple to soothe his spirit. In the past two days, he had not had a good rest and did not dare to relax for a moment. He only felt that his head was as heavy as lead.
Moreover, the original owner encountered evil spirits in the mine cave and had a psychological shadow. He had a nightmare last night, and his crazy appearance frightened Zhang Li very much.
Zhang Li sat on the bed, hugging her knees with her hands, her hair was a little scattered, and her face was haggard and tight. She murmured: "If the evil spirit is not removed, we will continue to die. Maybe it will be your and my turn one day. We pay rent and pay taxes for any business. Isn't it because it's safe here? But when this evil spirit comes, their patrol team is doing things slowly and doesn't seem to be trying to protect us at all..."
Wu Tao sighed and said, "Safety is generally the case, and there is also chaos under order, not to mention that it is even more unsafe to leave the Immortal Cultivation City."
"I heard that there are patrol people doing the business of breaking evil talismans. Li Mo, do you think they would take the opportunity to make a fortune if they didn't get rid of evil spirits sooner?"
Wu Tao frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "There is nothing new under the sun. It is not worth mentioning to them. What we can do is to be careful. Don't go out these days. Save some food for rice and meat at home, and you can hold on for a few more days..."
"Um."
In the past two days, whether it is day or night, Wu Tao and Zhang Li have to stay awake alone, not only guarding against evil spirits, but also other casual cultivators who rebounded under high pressure.
Two more nights passed.
Three people died in Xin'an Lane.
A family of three died in Xinde Lane.
Wu Tao's heart was getting more and more gloomy, and the price of the evil-breaking talisman also rose to 151.
‘I have arrived in Xinde Lane, I hope I won’t find me. I shouldn’t have a bad physique, right? Fuck, maybe, I’m a time traveler…’
"Patrol..."
Wu Tao was in a very heavy mood, but he knew that he could not collapse. As long as he collapsed, Zhang Li would also collapse. He must stay calm. They have five evil-breaking talismans.
Restore your energy and spirit.
Wu Tao glanced at Zhang Li sitting by the door. It was Zhang Li's turn to watch the night in the middle of the night. Zhang Li held the iron sword tightly in her hand and held an evil-breaking talisman in her hand. Her expression was tense and she didn't dare to relax for a moment.
He was the same. Even if he held the spirit stone in his right hand to absorb it, he also pinched the evil-breaking talisman with his left hand, and even when he was sleeping lightly, he would pinch the evil-breaking talisman.
The first half of the night passed quickly, and it was quiet outside and nothing happened.
But after these nights, it seems that the evil spirits came out and harmed people for a night.
Looking at the tired Zhang Li, Wu Tao got up, came to her, took the iron sword over, and said to her gently: "Go and sleep for a while."
Zhang Li nodded without saying anything. She held the evil-breaking talisman tightly in her hand and lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep.
Wu Tao looked at her and could see her eyelashes trembling slightly. The two of them didn't sleep well for several days, physically and mentally exhausted, but they didn't dare to really sleep.
As time passed slowly, Wu Tao became more and more tired. It would be fine if he could hear the screams, but it would not be their turn tonight.
The candlelight on the table was beating slightly. Suddenly, the candlelight shook back for a while. Wu Tao only felt his scalp numb, and the original owner's experience of meeting evil in the mine suddenly flashed in his mind. Endless darkness came, and he was overwhelmed by a season in his heart. Fear drowned him...
His child hole began to spread, as if at this moment, he was about to lose his focal length...
At this moment, Wu Tao bit the tip of his tongue suddenly. The severe pain caused him to wake up instantly. Almost without thinking, he stimulated the evil-breaking talisman in his hand and pushed forward...
So suck! So suck!
The evil-breaking talisman suddenly burst out black smoke and started burning, and his hands were burned by the flames.
A black shadow finally appeared, his whole body was like a ball of darkness. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes that chose people to ignore him. This kind of annotation has an attraction that makes people fall into the abyss...
It's an evil spirit!
"Zhang Li, wake up!"
Wu Tao shouted loudly, and another evil-breaking talisman was also stimulated and slapped the evil spirit...
Zhang Li was awakened by this loud shout. She had already slept lightly. As soon as she woke up, she subconsciously stimulated the evil talisman in her hand and shot it towards the evil spirit.
After ate three evil-breaking talismans in a row, black smoke continued to spread from the evil spirit's body, and its body became more and more decayed. It seemed to be roaring silently, and it shook it straight and shook its tail on Wu Tao's chest.
Wu Tao felt as if he was hit hard in his chest, his body flew backwards, his throat sweetened, his mouth was bleeding, and a loud bang, knocking the door to the ground.
"Li Mo!" Zhang Li exclaimed, and was about to come to save him...
Wu Tao quickly suppressed the sweet and sweet throat in his throat and said, "Don't worry about me, take advantage of its illness to kill him. Please call him all the remaining evil-breaking talismans..."
When Zhang Li heard this, she woke up. She had two remaining evil-breaking talismans. She sucked her hands and jumped on the evil spirit. Then, she felt a pain in her chest and her body involuntarily smashed towards Wu Tao.
Wu Tao's internal organs were injured. If he was hit, he would definitely be cold. He hurriedly raised his remaining strength and rolled sideways.
Bang!
Zhang Li hit him next to him, a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of her mouth, making a painful humming sound.
So suck! So suck!
The evil spirit was burning, the evil-breaking talisman was destroying its body, the black shadow became smaller and smaller, and finally, an unwilling roar seemed to sound, the black shadow dissipated in the air, and a black crystal as big as a fingernail fell down.
Wu Tao originally planned to be unable to deal with the evil spirits if he even broke the evil spirits, so he pulled Zhang Li to escape. Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He climbed to Zhang Li, pushed Zhang Li, and said with difficulty: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, how are you?"
Zhang Li turned to look at him. When Wu Tao saw that she was not dead, she felt relieved and said, "The evil spirits were eliminated, and the five evil-breaking talismans were not in vain..."
“We are all alive…”
Zhang Li said weakly: "It's so good!"
The two looked at each other and then smiled tacitly. This danger was filled with relief and only each other could know.
"The evil spirit is there..."
Just then, a sound rang out, and footsteps rushed towards this side...
...
