Chapter 16 Thrilling

The entire Wuling Xiuxian City is like a blooming lotus, with the pistil as the center. The wealthy and powerful cultivators occupy the center, radiating outward from it.

All the way to the edge of the petals, that is, the edge of the city.

This is the social structure of the Wuling Xiuxian City, which is simple, rough, and reveals a ruthless reality.

As for the West Outer City and the East Outer City, which rely on the expansion of the Xiuxian City and have not even entered the edge of the petals, the residents are naturally some low-level casual cultivators struggling to survive.

The more peripheral, the lower the strength of the casual cultivators, the worse the means of survival, and the poorer the ability to resist risks. For them, encountering some small risks is very likely to be a catastrophe.

Xinde Lane, Xin'an Lane, these alleys are at the edge of the West Outer City. Most of the casual cultivators living here are in the early stage of Qi Refining, and the high rent is already a survival in the cracks.

When the evil spirits come, the casual cultivators living nearby live in fear.

For evil spirits that are good at hiding and treacherous, they can only put their hopes on the patrol team.

The immortal cultivators in the patrol team are not disciples of Wuquan Mountain. They are busy practicing and have no time to do this. They are also like the house, which is leased to some small immortal cultivation forces.

It has been two days since the evil spirit occurred.

Two people died.

Both were in Xin'an Lane. When the patrol team arrived, the evil spirit had already hidden.

Therefore, the patrol team issued a notice, asking all casual cultivators to rest assured that they have drawn people from other places and will definitely eliminate the evil spirit and protect everyone's safety.

At the same time, the evil spirit talisman has risen again and is approaching the 100 mark.

The savings of a family may not be able to afford it, so what if ten families buy one together?

There are nearly 10,000 casual cultivators nearby, and the evil spirit talisman is still in short supply.

Seeing this situation, Wu Tao couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had foresight and bought it early, otherwise, he couldn't afford to buy one now, and he would definitely die when the evil spirit came.

As for entrusting his life to the patrol team?

He also understood why people died in the past two days.

Wu Tao gently pressed his temples to relax his mind. He didn't rest well in the past two days. He didn't dare to relax for a moment. He felt that his head was as heavy as lead.

Moreover, the original owner had encountered evil spirits in the mine, which left a psychological shadow. He had a nightmare last night. When he woke up, his crazy appearance scared Zhang Li a lot.

Zhang Li sat on the bed, hugged her knees with both hands, her hair was a little messy, and her face was haggard. She murmured: "If the evil spirits are not eliminated, people will continue to die. Maybe one day it will be your turn. We pay rent and taxes for any business we do. Isn't it because it is safe here? But when the evil spirits came, their patrol team worked slowly, and it didn't seem like they wanted to protect us at all..."

Wu Tao sighed and said: "Safety is generally speaking. There is chaos under order. What's more, it is even more unsafe outside Xiuxian City."

"I heard that the sale of evil-breaking talismans , there are people from the patrol team doing it. Li Mo, do you think they don't get rid of the evil spirits earlier, do they want to take the opportunity to make a fortune? "

Wu Tao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing new under the sun. The death of a few casual cultivators is not worth mentioning to them. All we can do is be careful, don't go out these days, save the rice and meat at home, and we can last a few more days..."

"Yeah."

These two days, whether it is day or night, Wu Tao and Zhang Li have to stay awake alone, not only to prevent evil spirits, but also other casual cultivators who rebound 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've arrived in Xinde Lane. I hope you don't find me. I shouldn't have a dark physique, right? Fuck, it's possible, I'm a time traveler...'

"Patrol team..."

Wu Tao was in a very heavy mood, but he knew that he couldn't collapse. As long as he collapsed, Zhang Li would also collapse. He must stay calm. They have five evil-breaking talismans.

Restore his spirit.

Wu Tao glanced at Zhang Li who was sitting by the door. It was Zhang Li's turn to keep watch in the first half of the night. Zhang Li held the iron sword tightly in her hand, holding 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, he held the evil-breaking talisman in his left hand. Even when he was in a light sleep, he had to hold the evil-breaking talisman.

The first half of the night passed quickly. It was very quiet outside. Nothing happened.

But after these few nights, it seems that the evil spirits did not miss a night and came out to harm people.

Looking at the tired Zhang Li, Wu Tao stood up, came to her side, took the iron sword, and gently said to her: "Go to sleep for a while."

Zhang Li nodded, without saying anything, holding the evil-breaking talisman tightly in her hand, she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

Wu Tao glanced at her and saw that her eyelashes were trembling slightly. The two had not slept well for several days in a row. They were physically and mentally exhausted, but they did not dare to really fall asleep.

Time passed slowly, and Wu Tao became more and more tired. If he could hear screams, it would be good, which meant that it would not be their turn tonight.

The candle on the table flickered slightly. Suddenly, the candle shook back. Wu Tao felt his scalp tingling. In an instant, his mind flashed the experience of the original owner encountering evil in the mine. Endless darkness came, and his heart palpitated. Fear overwhelmed him...

His pupils began to dilate, as if at this moment, they were about to lose focus...

At this moment, Wu Tao bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain made him wake up instantly. Without even thinking, he activated the evil-breaking talisman in his hand and pushed it forward...

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The evil-breaking talisman suddenly emitted black smoke and burned, and his hand was also 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 devour, ignoring him. This kind of annotation had a kind of attraction that made people fall into the abyss...

It was the evil spirit!

"Zhang Li, wake up quickly!"

Wu Tao shouted, and another evil-breaking talisman was also activated and slapped on the evil spirit...

Zhang Li was awakened by this shout. She was a light sleeper. As soon as she woke up, she subconsciously activated the evil-breaking talisman in her hand and shot it at the evil spirit.

After eating three evil-breaking talismans in a row, the evil spirit kept emitting black smoke, and its body became more and more dilapidated. It seemed to be roaring silently, and it swung and swung on Wu Tao's chest like a tail.

Wu Tao felt as if his chest was hit hard, and his body flew backwards. His throat felt sweet, and blood gushed out of his mouth. With a loud bang, he knocked the door to the ground.

"Li Mo!" Zhang Li exclaimed, and was about to come to save him...

Wu Tao quickly suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat and said, "Don't worry about me, kill it while it's sick, and use all the remaining evil-breaking talismans to deal with it..."

Hearing this, Zhang Li woke up, and with the remaining two evil-breaking talismans, she activated her hands, jumped up, and slapped the evil spirit. Then, she felt a pain in her chest, and her body involuntarily fell towards Wu Tao.

Wu Tao's internal organs were injured. If he was hit by this, he would definitely die. He hurriedly gathered up the remaining strength and rolled sideways.

Bang!

Zhang Li fell beside him, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she groaned in pain.

Zila! Zila!

The evil spirit was burning, and the evil-breaking talisman was destroying its body. The shadow was getting smaller and smaller. Finally, there seemed to be an unwilling roar, and the shadow dissipated into the air, and a black crystal the size of a fingernail fell down.

Wu Tao had originally planned to pull Zhang Li away if the five evil-breaking talismans could not deal with the evil spirit. Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He crawled to Zhang Li, pushed Zhang Li, and said with difficulty: "Friend Zhang, how are you?"

Zhang Li turned her head to look at him. Wu Tao saw that she was not dead, and his heart was relieved. He said: "The evil spirit has been eliminated, and the five evil-breaking talismans have not been wasted..."

"We are all alive..."

Zhang Li weakly uttered a sentence: "That's great!"

The two looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly. This feeling of relief in the face of danger was only known to each other.

"The evil spirit is over there..."

Just then, a voice sounded, and footsteps rushed towards this side...

...
