Mu Huai re-entered the village while Ming Shu sat outside waiting for him . About an hour later, he and Ye Cong emerged from the fog .
A few people followed behind them . They seemed to be not lightly injured .
Being able to survive at the hands of evil spirits, these people's strength was also not ordinary .
“Lord, are these things evil spirits?” Ye Cong asked Mu Huai while bandaging himself .
Evil spirits… which were really strange to him .
It can be said that he only heard of them in some stories and legends .
“Yes . ” They were evil spirits, suppressed by the first emperor of the Wushang Dynasty several hundred years ago .
Ye Cong swallowed a mouthful of cold air and looked back into the village with a lingering fear . The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the village was almost obscured completely .
If it weren't for the lord's sudden appearance, they might have been buried inside .
Evil spirits came out from everywhere and proceeded to slaughter human beings day and night . It seemed their mission was to consume all humans .
The people were in a panic, fleeing from place to place . But the number of spirits was too great; no matter where one went, bloodthirsty spirits were expected to be encountered .
No prelude and no buffering . In just one night, the war between humans and spirits began .
Blood and bodies occupied the entire world .
Mu Huai was going to find the Dragon Root, the place where the evil spirits were suppressed .
He intended to order guards to escort Ming Shu back to the imperial city . In the current situation, it was not realistic to go to the border . It might be better to place her inside the protective scope of the Heavenly Temple .
This was perfectly identical to Ming Shu's plan: going back to the city for delicious food . But after they walked a distance, Ming Shu suddenly changed tack .
It turned out Ming Shu saw Cheng Jinyun, the fake female protagonist, who seemed to be looking for the Dragon Root as well . In order to gain Hatred Points and complete her mission, Ming Shu had to sacrifice the opportunity to return to the imperial city for fine food .
Cheng Jinyun didn't meet Mu Huai's team, but they were moving in the same direction .
The farther they marched, the more often they saw withered trees . In the end, large areas of deadened plants were presented to their eyes, and no green could be seen on the whole mountain . They seemed to have arrived at a lifeless world .
“Almost there . ” Mu Huai looked into the distance . Within sight was only dead vegetation . Still and silent .
The evil spirits' powerful aura had made these plants die .
“Even if you find it, what can you do?” Ming Shu stood next to Mu Huai with her arms crossed over her chest, smiling lightly .
Mu Huai shook his head . He didn't know what to do . But at the very least, he couldn't do nothing and just wait around .
“Why are you coming then?”
Ming Shu laughed . “Just to have a look; I won't do anything . ”
“Sounds like a new way to find yourself dead . ” Mu Huai maintained his cold voice .
“Isn't Uncle seeking death himself?” So many evil spirits have already been wandering everywhere . He is now going to their place of origin . Aren't there even more of them?
Mu Huai glanced at her . His lips moved, but no voice was heard .
Then he ordered, “keep going . ”
Ming Shu closed her mouth and caught up with Mu Huai, who was walking faster . “Uncle, how do you think evil spirits taste?”
Mu Huai's cold expression cracked . “You want to eat evil spirits?”
What the hell? Are you going to eat all kinds of creatures in this world? Do you want to eat a human?
Ming Shu shook her head . “No . ”
“Then why ask?” Mu Huai was speechless .
Ming Shu honestly answered: “I just want to know what evil spirits taste like . ”After all, I have never eaten one .
Mu Huai rolled his eyes internally . “Since you don't eat them, don't ask . ”
“Are they tasty?”
“I don't know . ”
Several evil spirits following far behind Ming Shu and Mu Huai were really shocked . They looked at each other fearfully . Did they just hear someone saying that she wanted to eat evil spirits?
It's always the evil spirits who eat people, how did it become a human eating evil spirits?
This was not good . They had to share this news with the evil spirit king .
Withered trees stood all over the mountains, and the whole world was colored in gray, lifeless and hopeless .
A group of small evil spirits were circling around a cave, discussing fiercely .
“That's what she said . ”
“She also said evil spirits taste bad . ”
“Right, right, this human should dare to eat us and dislike our flavor . ”
A man was sitting on a stone chair in the middle of the cave, his hair falling over his shoulders . With a feminine face, surrounded by a strong aura of evil, it seemed hard to tell if it was a he or a she .
After listening to the small evil spirits' report, the man's flame-like red lips curled slightly . “Was that human really saying this?”
“Yes, yes, we heard it clearly . ” The spirits nodded immediately .
“Go and bring her back . ”
A human who dares to eat evil spirits? Interesting .
“Catch her, catch her!”
“Let's go, brothers, to catch that bold human!”
The evil spirits walked out excitedly . But soon their voices disappeared like someone had pressed the pause button . The entire cave, even the mountain and forest, were caught in silence .
The man realized something . He quickly got up and went outside .
In the mountain forests outside, a group of people already awaited . They vigilantly studied the evil spirits . Some spirits lay on the ground not far away; it was uncertain if they were dead or alive .
“Well . ” The man smiled as he partially covered his mouth . “You've arrived so soon . ”
These were the people of the Heavenly Temple . They searched for the place with the strongest aura of evil as quickly as possible . And surprisingly, they succeeded . It was lucky of them to find this nest .
“Monster! You won't survive unless you surrender!” a man in black clothes stepped forward and shouted . His voice shattered the silence of the mountains .
“Come, come, I heard similarly boring declarations several hundred years ago, can't you humans think up some new words?” The man laughed with a voice that was neither masculine or feminine, the sound very harsh . “The humans of that time died long ago, but we are still alive . Don't you think we spirits are the masters of the world?”
“Long live the king!”
“Long live the king!”
The little evil spirits shouted slogans with excitement .
Ming Shu, resting against a tree, watched the scene from a distance . However, the two sides kept talking nonsense for a long time . All they did was talk!
Are they going to fight or not?
I'm hungry .
“Who is your master now? Won't he come out to meet me? After several hundred years, I didn't expect you humans to become shrinking violets, hahahaha . ” The male spirit smiled willfully .
“Huo Hu . ”
A voice of vicissitudes echoed from the sky .
The evil spirit looked up in surprise .
An old man descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone .
Huo Hu stared at the old man for a moment and smiled . “You know my name . It seems you are their master?”
The master revealed a solemn expression . “How did you come out?”
“It doesn't matter how we come out . What's important is that we are released now . ” Huo Hu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his sharp voice pierced the air . “Human! You must pay for what you have done to us . Blood for blood!
“Boys, kill them for me . ” Huo Hu laughed to the sky . “We'll use their blood to pave the road of our prosperity . ”
This world will only belong to we spirits .
Hearing this, all the evil spirits' blood boiled and they rushed over with their weapons .
The old man waved away several evil spirits charging toward him . His body moved fast, hurtling at Huo Hu .
Huo Hu was still laughing wildly . “Old man—cunning humans! If it weren't for you humans playing dirty tricks, how could we have been suppressed by you? This time, you are not so fortunate . ”
