Chapter 144: It shouldn't have happened
"..."
Tang San held his forehead helplessly, Gu You was here again, trying to snatch the right to name the soul skills of someone he had only known for a few days.
In Zhu Zhuqing's heart, there was a huge crack in the tall image of Gu You, and he felt disillusioned.
In the beginning, Zhu Zhuqing thought Guyou was powerful, capable of instantly killing a century-old hook-clawed cat.
Then, Gu You's image became sharp and intelligent, able to quickly analyze his true identity and point out solutions to the current difficulties he faced.
Then, he added the label of being knowledgeable and talented. Understand the characteristics of the Nether Civet Spirit, and give new directions for strengthening the spirit.
Now, the illusion is shattered. Seeing Gu You nodding proudly, as if he was very satisfied with the name he chose. Zhu Zhuqing has the feeling that "this ancient tour ≠ that ancient tour".
Please, you are the one who killed a hundred-year-old spirit beast with one tail. Why don't you do this?
…Although "Latent Shadow Surprise Attack" sounds pretty good, better than the "Netherworld Hidden" I prepared…
Just a few.
After confirming that Zhu Zhuqing successfully obtained the soul ring and successfully awakened the power of the netherworld as Gu You expected. Everyone was ready to say goodbye to Zhu Zhuqing and complete Jie Ge's commission.
After Zhu Zhuqing knew the whole story, he strongly asked for help.
She and her sister Zhu Zhuyun had a very close relationship before they had a martial soul resonance with Xingluo Prince Dai Mubai.
Recalling what the guard assigned to him by his family said to him before entering the Soul Beast Forest, Zhu Zhuqing now has no ill feelings towards his sister.
The brotherhood between Zhao Jie and Zhao Wei reminded Zhu Zhuqing of his past love affair with sisters Zhu Zhuyun.
Determined to have a good talk with Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, who asked Dai Mubai to run away alone with a bucket, decided to help and assist Gu You in finding clues about Zhao Wei.
On the other hand, it is also to repay Gu You's kindness.
Gu You only needs to help her find a hook-clawed cat of the right age to complete the task. Zhu Zhuqing originally didn't expect them to be of much help to her in the soul hunting. She just wanted to help her find a hook-clawed cat of the right age.
As a result, the hook-clawed cat of the right age was not found, but instead he was seen through the hidden nostalgia for power in his heart. He was also persuaded to find a shadow lizard as his second soul ring.
The Shadow Lizard not only provides a very powerful soul skill. And it also allowed the Nether Civet Cat to truly gain the power of the Netherworld.
Zhu Zhuqing believed that he must repay Guyou for this kindness. Now, naturally, one of the clues to help them find Zhao Jie is one of them.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression of "I have made a decision, don't try to persuade me anymore", everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to agree to take Zhu Zhuqing with him.

"I don't know how my little brother is doing now."
Outside the Soul Beast Forest, Zhao Jie and Li Tong looked at the dark place as always from a distance. Zhao Jie couldn't help but ask Li Tong beside him: "It's been a few days now, why haven't they come out yet?"
Li Tong also looked helpless: "Brother Jie, you've asked me this three times, and I don't know either."
Ga-Gah-Gah
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the flock of birds suddenly flying in the forest. This is a scene that has never happened in the Dark Land for so many years.
You must know that the soul beasts in the dark land mainly have dark attributes, which means that there will be almost no battles with great movement. Even if there is, it is most likely caused by the soul master inside.
"Um?"
Even though he was separated by a certain distance from the checkpoint set up by Wuhun Palace, Zhao Jie always felt like there was some movement inside.
Involuntarily using his soul power to strengthen his hearing, Zhao Jie heard the sound of people's hurried footsteps coming from the level.
"...It is suspected that the soul beasts are rioting, and it may develop into a beast tide!"
"Quick, send someone to notify the nearby Wuhun Palace, we need reinforcements!"
"Where are the people inside? Why didn't anyone come out to notify us!?"
"All the manpower has been sent in, and we have no one now!"
"Where are the auxiliary soul masters? Quickly call back the food-type and healing-type soul masters who are on vacation!"
"Soul beast riot?!" Zhao Jie was shocked when he heard the keyword. Under Wuhun Hall's years of governance, it was almost impossible for a soul beast riot to occur in these small soul beast forests scattered throughout the country.
Not to mention the dark place, where even thousand-year soul beasts are not allowed to appear, how could there be a soul beast causing a beast tide?
But recalling the scenery he just saw, Zhao Jie couldn't guarantee that it was just a misunderstanding. He gave Li Tong a serious order: "A Tong, go back to the town quickly and notify all the brothers over 40 years old in the Taixun Regiment to come here for support."
"Other members are responsible for organizing the evacuation of civilians., the further away the better. "
Li Tong, who also heard the sound in the level, nodded. The younger brother behind them didn't know what was going on, and was still looking up at the birds flying in the sky.
Zhao Jie turned around and said to everyone: "Brothers, this is a critical moment. There may be a tide of beasts here."
After hearing Zhao Jie's words, everyone exploded. Ordinary soul hunting is already full of dangers. If the soul beasts rush out of the forest during the beast tide, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
"Everyone, be quiet!" Zhao Jie looked around and looked at the frightened faces of his younger brothers. His face was no longer so heavy.
"Everyone, all members of our training regiment were born in this small town, and this town is our home."
"And now, if those damn soul beasts break through the levels, they will rush into the town, kill our families, destroy our land, and destroy our houses."
"Everyone from Wuhun Palace is in the Soul Beast Forest, and their whereabouts are unknown. Now, it's our turn to protect our town and our home!"
Brother Jie's words made everyone feel a little ashamed, ashamed that they had even thought of abandoning the town and running away. This shame quickly turned into anger towards the spirit beasts. Wouldn't it be nice for the spirit beasts to live peacefully in the forest? Why did they suddenly start a wave of beasts?
Zhao Jie named the two youngest brothers: "Sister Li Jiao, follow A Tong back to the town, organize people to come to support, and ask everyone to evacuate quickly."
"Brother Jie, I also want to stay and fight!" "Me too!"
"Stop making trouble!" Zhao Jie shouted to stop their behavior, "If you stay, what will happen to everyone in the town? If we fail, will everyone be buried with us in the town?!"
"Hurry back and organize manpower. We will hold on until the brothers come over." After saying that, Zhao Jie looked at Li Tong, "A Tong, don't come over. Stay in the town. Once we fail, you will The last hope."
"The town is gone, so be it. As long as people are still there, the town will eventually be rebuilt and become more prosperous."
Others also pushed the three people towards the town, "Get out of here, you brats, now is the time for the old fritters."
"Young men, you are still far behind. Watch carefully how we kill the spirit beasts."
"When we go back, let the brothers who came to help bring a few bottles of wine. Killing the soul beast without drinking doesn't feel exciting enough."
Listening to all the words coming from behind, the three people who left did not dare to look back, for fear that they would be unable to control their tears and stay. Li Tong ran towards the town without looking back, shouting: "Brother Jie, wait for the support of our brothers!"
After watching the three people leave, Zhao Jie smiled and said to the remaining people: "Okay, the newbies are going home. Now it's the work of us veterans."
Everyone laughed, "Brother Jie, I'm afraid they will feel inferior when they see the three soul beasts on my steel gun." "I can blow the heads of those soul beasts with one hand." "My beheading sword is already hungry. It's unbearable."
Although everyone was laughing, Zhao Jie could clearly see that all their hands were shaking slightly.
"Let's go and tell the soul beast that this place is now under the control of Taixun." Zhao Jie turned around and led everyone towards the Wuhun Palace checkpoint.
…………
"Xiaosan, Xiaowu, Zhu Zhuqing, have you discovered anything?"
In the forest, when they arrived at the place where Ah Wei disappeared, everyone began to search for traces of Ah Wei non-stop.
"No, I can't find anything." Xiao Wu said first. She felt that this was just an ordinary soul beast forest, and she couldn't find any traces.
"Same here." Zhu Zhuqing jumped out of the shadow behind Gu You and shook his head. "There are no traces, no trace of Zhao Wei at all."
After hearing what Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing said, Gu You nodded, then looked at Tang San.
Tang San's eyes were filled with purple light. He didn't use Bluesilver Grass, he was just observing the surrounding environment based on the knowledge he learned from Tang Sect.
After a while, Tang San closed his eyes and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoyou, it's exactly as you expected."
"...Really?" Gu You also closed his eyes, and for a while, the only sound left in his ears was the scraping of leaves.
"Mistress, cancel it."
Tang San nodded, and under everyone's puzzled gazes, the swaying bluesilver grass slowly dissipated, the aroma of fragrant marjoram in the air slowly faded, and a damp and rotten smell became obvious.
Lanta asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you ask the third brother to remove the protection?"
Gu You opened his eyes and said, "We have already been tricked, before Xiao San used his second soul skill."
"What?!" x3
Fucked? when?
These two thoughts immediately appeared in the minds of Xiao Wu, Lan Ta and Meng Yiran. The three of them knew the effect of Tang San's second soul skill, which could provide resistance to abnormal conditions. This makes it almost impossible for everyone to be affected by the abnormal state.
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, you two didn't find any traces here, right?"
The two nodded. This place was just like other places in the dark place they passed through. There was no difference at all.
"Where are the human traces, where are the traces of the members of the Taixun Regiment who were sent in to search?"
When they heard Gu You's words, the two of them were shocked.
Yes, Brother Jie from the Taixun Regiment also sent people in to search for Ah Wei's whereabouts, so they would definitely come here to look for clues. But now, I can't find any at allSigns of exploration.
Except for the traces left by the people present now, there are no traces left by anyone else, not even in the past week.
"Not only here, but even where Lanta found Yueguang, there were no signs of recent activity."
"The Wuhun Palace sent a large number of people here to search for "wanted criminals," but we haven't seen anyone here."
"That's one of the few places in this Soul Beast Forest where you can see the sun. The Wuhun Palace has sent so many people in, but no one wants to bask in the sun to relieve stress. How is this possible?"
"The only explanation is that they disappeared quickly after coming in and were being searched for by the Spirit Hall in the forest."
"Is he imprisoned? Or was he killed? Hallucination? Coma? Misdirection? What method can be used to make so many people disappear in this forest?"
Gu You kept biting the nail of his right thumb. This rare situation should have attracted everyone's attention, but now no one cares, they are all frightened by Gu You's statement.
In the eyes of everyone, the current dark place is like the mouth of a huge monster, although it is ready to swallow everyone who wants to explore its secrets.
"Brother You, let's leave here quickly and tell Wuhun Hall about the situation." Xiao Wu wanted to leave this man-eating forest as quickly as possible and never come to this ghost place again.
"It's useless." Gu You shook his head, "With so many soul masters missing here, there must be a way to prevent us from leaving."
Poison gas? Or psychological suggestion? Is the effect enhanced by duration? Gu You had never been so nervous, not even when he knew he was in the Holy Soul Village and when he learned that Tang San and Tang Hao were in the village.
This nervousness was probably second only to when he first discovered the time travel.
"Calm down, calm down. You didn't read so many mystery novels for nothing. Use your brain, Gu You." Gu You forced himself to calm down and think about how to break the situation.
"First of all, the Dark Land is a soul beast forest where there are no thousand-year soul beasts. Therefore, the level of the person who did this kind of thing will not be too high. It may only be a soul master or a soul sect. Otherwise, he can definitely go to a stronger soul beast with more people. forest."
"Secondly, we have been here for a few days and have not experienced hallucinations. First, although Xiao San's soul skills cannot relieve the abnormal state after being attacked, it can also suppress the attack. The possibility of poisonous gas is higher. Second, his actions Maybe by the end, there will be no need for so many soul masters, and there will be no active induction, so we can stay awake."
Thinking of this, Gu You made a decision.
"Everyone, relax, we will take the initiative to find him."
Everyone didn't understand Gu You's choice, but they still followed his request and forced themselves to relax. Soon, except for Gu You and Tang San, everyone else's eyes became hazy, as if they were seeing something, and they walked in the same direction.
The two people who stayed there looked at each other, nodded, and followed quietly.
"It seems to be related to mental power." Gu You thought silently.
Soon, following the pace of the four people, everyone arrived at the foot of a mountain. Tang San threw a few pills to Gu You, then waved his hand and used blue silver grass to tie up those who wanted to enter the cave.
Seeing everyone struggling, Gu You rushed up, stuffed the pills into their mouths, and covered their mouths.
It is really useful to use peppermint as the main supplement and other stimulating drugs. "Woo!" Soon, everyone woke up.
"What happened just now?" Meng Yiran quickly asked Gu You in a low voice after noticing that the scene around him had changed and that he was still tied up by the blue silver grass.
Gu You explained the situation just now. Everyone looked at the cave with eyes as sharp as swords.
"Huh?" Gu You stepped on his feet and felt something hard piercing his feet. He squatted down to take a look.
"The token of Taixun Regiment, and it's golden."
Looking at the token in his hand, Gu You took out the token that Zhao Jie gave him. When he compared the two, he found that they were exactly the same.
"Mouth?" Turning to the back of the token, Gu You was surprised to find that the word "mouth" was engraved on the back, and there were traces of it being rubbed with stones, and the surrounding areas were damaged.
Although he didn't understand what it meant, Gu You still put the token away.
"Be prepared for battle, we may have to fight at any time."
Gu You took the lead in completing the possession of the martial soul, but no soul ring appeared. He walked into the cave at the lead, and everyone hurriedly followed.
Question: Why do I post a new chapter early in the morning? Answer: Because the people who scolded me finished their scolding in the early morning, I didn't feel so depressed after I woke up and watched it all at once. It was as if I was making ugly remarks about Zhu Zhuqing, which made me feel uncomfortable. Please recommend me and ask for monthly tickets~~~
