When Zou Heng and King Ren's team arrived at the place where they lived, he was still thinking about what had just happened. In addition to learning more about Li Sheng, there was also the warlock who was an official in Yecheng.

In fact, it is not a rare thing for a warlock to become an official. On the contrary, it is a very normal thing.

As a group of people who master magical arts, warlocks are very different from each other according to their respective abilities.

There are many people like those who become sorcerers by chance and only know one or two small skills. Most of them hang out in the market, and some even make a living by cheating.

But those who are truly capable can live freely and freely everywhere, even in and out of temples, enjoy rights, glory, wealth, and be respected by others.

For more capable warlocks, many people will also win over them. After all, whether it is to solve evil or bring them around as a deterrent, warlocks will be useful. If they can be roped in, it will definitely not be a loss-making business.

The warlock in Yecheng has reached the level of alchemist and has some skills. I am afraid he has a decisive position in Yecheng. However, such a warlock was completely suppressed when facing Li Sheng today.

.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Sheng is any better than the warlock, but most warlocks should be at a disadvantage when facing a warrior head-on.

The advantage of a warlock mainly lies in the spells he has mastered. To maximize the advantage of casting spells, it takes a certain amount of time and preparation. Therefore, for most warlocks, only by keeping a distance can they exert their advantages.

Just like the warlock who attacked Niou before, he could shoot arrows from a long distance and slowly wear away Li Sheng's power without showing up. However, it was difficult for Li Sheng to make an effective counterattack.

Zou Heng remembered that when he was with his former master, he once taught him that if he fights with others in the future, he must not meet others easily. This really makes sense.

After struggling for a long time at the city gate, it was already dark when we entered the city. After arriving at the resting place, Li Sheng led people to conduct a brief inspection and began to arrange the night watch and rest.

They had just entered the city today and something like this happened right at the gate of the city. It was very likely that things would be uneven at night, so it was necessary to be vigilant to prevent accidents from happening.

The room assigned to Zou Heng is right next to King Ni. The purpose is very obvious. It is to facilitate him to protect King Ni. With the protection of Li Sheng and others, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter here, but it is different for the warlocks who master the magic.

Well, there are people over there who are so bold that they are not even afraid of death and come in to try to do something, so they really need a warlock to guard them.

Especially after Li Sheng learned about the effects of the fundamental method practiced by Zou Heng, he felt that this matter was even more reliable.

After a day of traveling, Zou Heng arrived at the room he had prepared for himself. He briefly checked the environment in the room, then sat on the bed and took out the magic weapon-level oil lamp.

I checked the lamp oil stored in the oil lamp and found that a small part of it had disappeared in just one day. From the proportion of the disappeared part, I can roughly calculate that the maximum amount of lamp oil in the oil lamp can be saved.

The time is about seven days.

Injecting some mana into it to replenish the little consumption, Zou Heng sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice his own fundamental method. His consciousness soon fell into a state of tranquility, and he became less aware of everything around him.

Very sensitive.

He could clearly feel that King Ni, who was separated from him by a wall, was just lying on the bed, preparing to sleep, and the princess was still taking care of His Highness.

In other rooms around, some of the soldiers who had been traveling all day had already fallen asleep, preparing to seize the time and recover their strength quickly. Otherwise, if something happened in the middle of the night, they would not be able to sleep for the rest of the night.

In comparison, these soldiers are the ones who have the hardest work in the team. They have been working hard all the way. Although they are all elites, their strength is far inferior to that of Li Sheng, Zou Heng and others. They are not as comfortable on the road as Nioh and others.

, they have to constantly be vigilant and frightened, so they are the ones who have the hardest time.

As the night got darker and time passed little by little, the mana in Zou Heng's body continued to circulate, strengthening his meager mana.

He found that the effect of his practice today was particularly good, and his mana seemed to be growing faster than when he practiced before.

"It seems that I have been in danger these days. Although I have encountered a lot of things, it has still been helpful to my cultivation!"

In the middle of the night, Zou Heng opened his eyes and after finishing his practice, he couldn't help but think of this in his heart.

As for the reason why his cultivation speed is faster than usual today, he thinks that it is because he has experienced more dangers recently. In addition, last night, he used the fake object substitution technique, which consumed a lot of his mana. To a certain extent, maybe

It stimulates some of one's own potential, so the cultivation effect is better than usual.

Unfortunately, the time for practicing today is almost up, so I have to stop for a while. If I continue to practice like this, it will be detrimental to myself.

However, Zou Heng did not intend to end his practice. He simply could not continue to practice, but it did not mean that he could not practice something else, such as absorbing the turbid air of the earth and strengthening another force in his body.

The method of absorbing the turbid energy of the earth is slightly different from the way of practicing the magician's fundamental method. There is no need to sit in a room to meditate and practice, as long as the body can be in contact with the earth.

Zou Heng stood up and moved around a little, and then walked out of the room. He did not deliberately make his movements quieter, because that might wake some people up. He went to the yard as usual and met with the soldiers who were on duty at night.

After nodding and saying hello, he walked to the backyard of the room and sat down next to the flower bed in the backyard.

The resting place arranged for them is an independent courtyard with a very good view, because it is specially used to entertain officials who come to Yecheng from other places. It is equivalent to a post house, so there are also dedicated people.

Take care of.

After Zou Heng sat on the edge of the flower bed, he took off his shoes and put them aside, stepped on the soil with his feet, and then sat there quietly.

Soon, the breath on his body changed. Just like when he was practicing the Quiet Method, the breath on his whole body disappeared quickly. The difference was that when he was practicing the Quiet Method, his own breath was

Extremely restrained, all vital signs including breathing have dropped to a certain level, and now he seems to have been assimilated, sitting there as if he has become a part of the earth, like an inconspicuous stone.

But if someone approaches him at this time, within three meters of him, they will find that Zou Heng's side seems to be heavier than other places at this time, and they will also feel the introverted heaviness that he comes from.

Zou Heng just sat there silently. He kept sitting like this. He was not motionless. Although he was very quiet, he might make some small movements with his hands from time to time.

There is no fear of being disturbed when absorbing the earth's turbid air, nor does it require complete concentration of mental consciousness. It is enough to maintain a relative concentration.

Zou Heng's current level is too low, and he only has a trace of the Witch Clan bloodline. Therefore, when he absorbs the turbid energy of the earth, he still needs his body and skin to be in contact with the earth. When he changes in the future,

It has to be stronger, and when the time comes to absorb the turbid energy of the earth, it won't have to be so troublesome.

Zou Heng sat by the flower bed for more than an hour, constantly absorbing the cold and heavy power coming from the depths of the earth. However, Zou Heng himself did not feel any coldness. Instead, he felt that his whole body was filled with blood, as if

It started to boil slightly.

He could feel that his body was being continuously strengthened, his muscles and bones were becoming tighter, and his blood was becoming more viscous. Although this process was just like practicing his own magic power, it was also a relatively slow process.

This is how cultivation is, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without going through a bone-chilling cold? If a kind of power can be obtained easily, then the cultivator should be vigilant. It is not impossible that pie in the sky will fall into the sky, but the probability is too small.

Think about it, why does the pie fall on your head?

Continuously strengthening the power accumulated in his body due to absorbing the turbid air of the earth, Zou Heng found that the soldiers on duty at night had already begun to change their shifts.

Just after the soldiers on night duty changed their shifts, Zou Heng suddenly felt the fluctuation of mana, and then saw a figure jumping out of a wall in the backyard where he was, and then fell to the ground.

Just disappeared.

"Wall-penetrating technique, ground-escape technique?"

Seeing this scene, Zou Heng was shocked and subconsciously wanted to do something immediately. But then, Zou Heng relaxed a little because he discovered that the person who came through the wall did not actually escape.

The ground disappeared and instead lay on the ground. This was because the opponent used a technique that allowed him to merge with the surrounding environment and form a disguise, making him mistakenly think that it was an escape technique.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that if the opponent really knows how to use the Earth Escape Technique, then why would he come in through the wall and directly use the Earth Escape Technique? If he doesn't know what he is doing, he will come in without realizing it. What's the point of spending all the effort to cast an extra spell?

Zou Heng looked at the ground. He saw a very unclear shadow, but if he looked carefully, he could still find some clues about it. He was not planning to alert the other party immediately, but planned to catch him.

Anyway, the other party didn't notice him when he came in, so he would just wait. When the other party was closer to him, he would directly attack and capture the other party, leaving him with no possibility of escaping.

Thinking that he was about to capture a warlock, Zou Heng couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He and his previous master no longer had the relationship between master and disciple, and they just lacked new ways to obtain magic. Maybe the one who came to his door was the one who got some new ones for himself.
