Dark clouds were gathering, heavy rain was pouring down, and the sky became dark. In the heavy rain, Zou Heng walked quickly. He was covered with a layer of oil paper to protect himself from the rain as much as possible.

Although Zou Heng had a better way to prevent himself from getting wet in the rain, it was undoubtedly more convenient and trouble-free to directly protect himself with a piece of oil paper while running fast.

While running quickly, Zou Heng saw some houses not far from the road ahead, so he ran in that direction, where he planned to take shelter from the rain temporarily.

As he quickly approached the houses, Zou Heng slowed down and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

Because he found that when he got close to these houses, he could see some less obvious blood marks on the ground where the rain had washed away. If it hadn't been raining for a long time, I'm afraid that

These bloodstains are now invisible.

Among the houses in front of him, Zou Heng did not notice any living people moving in them, which meant that a tragedy might have happened here not long ago.

Slowly approaching a house, Zou Heng looked into the room. He saw the things placed in the room, scattered in the room, and inside the room, there was a lying body with blood flowing under him.

There was a pool of blood, and the blood stain had dried up. It was obvious that the person inside had been dead for a long time.

Zou Heng checked other rooms, and sure enough, he found several corpses in other places. Judging from the wounds on the corpses, some of these corpses should have died at the hands of evil spirits, and others

Some died at the hands of others.

Only two days had passed since Zou Heng saw the phantom soul clone of the Chief Director and decided to leave Rui Country. During these two days, Zou Heng had already seen many tragic scenes while traveling.

The current situation in Rui Country has become even more chaotic than when the sudden change occurred a few months ago, and under the influence of this chaos, the people of Rui Country have become a little crazy.

A large number of Swiss warlocks who relied on evil powers lost control overnight, occupying the major forces in various cities in the country, and brought the army to the capital, and then the entire army was annihilated in the capital. Their strength was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to deal with it again for a while.

So many evil things have appeared.

So for a while, almost all the people who originally lived in the city were driven out of the city by Xie Yi. Those cities became Xie Yi's territory, and most of the humans could only stay outside the city.

Fortunately, the leaders of the major forces later returned to the major forces and temporarily stabilized their power, but it was still very difficult to regain the city.

The main reason is that evil things have appeared in major cities now, and most of them appear because the warlocks have lost control. Therefore, in a short time, the entire country of Rui has lost at least more than half of its warlocks, and most of them are at the level of alchemists.

In terms of dealing with evil spirits, if the army does not have the assistance of warlocks, it will actually be at a disadvantage when dealing with evil spirits. Now that the warlocks in Rui have lost so many, most of the remaining ones have not relied on the power of evil spirits, or their strength is too low.

, a warlock who is not able to draw on the evil power cannot play a big role.

Zou Heng stood at the eaves of a room for a while. When the rain outside gradually subsided, he spent some time using his own magic to quickly gather the bodies of the dead together, and then

After burning their bodies, they buried them next to a few houses, made a tombstone for them, and then continued on their way.

After a heavy rain, Zou Heng felt that the sky was much brighter, as if the heavy rain had washed away many bad things and made people feel less gloomy.

After continuing on the road, Zou Heng still liked the weather after the rain, but the road was not very easy to walk after the heavy rain.

After Zou Heng got back on the road, he soon encountered a group of people on the road carrying packages and some scattered things, with their heads lowered and not knowing where they were going. There were about a hundred people in total, each one.

It seemed very silent while walking on the road.

This is not the first time that Zou Heng has encountered a team like this in the past two days. If the people of Rui Country still had great confidence that life would soon return to peace after the sudden change a few months ago, then

The current situation in Rui has left them with no confidence at all.

So many warlocks have become evil, and the original court has been completely overthrown. Now, if a new court has appeared and a new order has been reestablished, who will care about their life and death?

Zou Heng did not alarm this group of people. He just passed by them quietly and continued on his way. The current Rui country is really not a suitable place to live. It is too chaotic and has too many troubles.

At night, Zou Heng continued on his way. With his current physical fitness, he could fully adapt to not resting for several days.

After climbing another mountain, Zou Heng stopped and took a short rest.

"It is estimated that I will be able to leave Rui Country at the latest the day after tomorrow. I will spend the next few days passing through Luoba Country and several other small countries, and then enter Da Cang Country!" Zou Heng thought in his heart while resting.

.

He has been walking towards the south of Rui Country. After leaving Rui Country, he will arrive at Luoba Country and meet the Luoba people with different hair colors. After that, he will pass through several small countries before he can reach Da Cang.

The weather was quite cool at night. A breeze blew by, and Zou Heng, who was taking a short rest, actually felt a slight chill.

"No, with my current physique, the cold wind in the mountains alone cannot make me feel cold. At most, it can make me feel a little cool!"

Feeling a little cold, Zou Heng didn't notice anything wrong at first, but soon, Zou Heng reacted, stood up immediately, and glanced around.

While scanning the surroundings, Zou Heng immediately used the Eye-Opening Technique. In his sight, he did not find any evil energy appearing around him, but Zou Heng still did not relax his vigilance.

After a while, another cold wind blew by, rustling the grass and trees in the mountains, and making the surroundings seem quieter. Zou Heng still did not relax his vigilance. He still felt that something was not right around him, as if something was wrong.

Something is watching me silently.

"Pah, pah!"

At this moment, Zou Heng suddenly heard the sound of clapping. In this quiet and empty environment, the sound seemed extremely loud.

Zou Heng quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a slightly familiar figure walking out of the shadows of the vegetation, clapping his hands as he walked, and his voice rang out at the same time.

"Your Excellency is indeed very vigilant. No wonder we were able to escape in the capital. But it is a pity that there are more than 3,000 of us who cannot escape with you. However, I think you don't care either!"

When this voice sounded, Zou Heng's face immediately changed slightly, and he called out the name of the person with some disbelief.

"Song Jie!"

"My lord, you can still hear my voice. This subordinate is really honored!" The man who walked out of the shadow of the grass and trees was Song Jie. After hearing Zou Heng's words, he walked forward two more times.

Walking, talking as he walked.

At this time, Zou Heng could clearly see his face. It was Song Jie who should have died in the capital.

At this moment, Song Jie was wearing a mask that could only cover the corners of his eyes. Although he did not exude any evil aura, he still gave off a very strange feeling. He was obviously not a normal person. He was the same person as he was a few days ago.

Compared to him, his temperament and demeanor are completely different.

Song Jie, who was supposed to be trapped in the capital, or even died in the capital, suddenly appeared in the wilderness and in front of him. Zou Heng didn't need to think too much, he knew that the appearance of the other party was definitely different from the evil one.

Regardless, the mask on the corner of the other party's eyes also illustrates this point.

"Your Excellency, you don't seem very happy to see your subordinates. Are you a little disappointed to see me, a person who should be dead, appearing here?" Song Jie looked at Zou Heng, who had a solemn expression, and continued to speak, but his

However, his steps stopped and he did not continue to move forward.

"I can't say I'm happy or unhappy. I'm just really surprised that I still have a chance to see you. But can you tell me what your current state is, evil or alive?" Zou Heng looked at it.

Song Jie asked him.

"Well, whatever you think I am, then I am what I am. This is not important. What is important is that the purpose of my coming today is to demand my life from your lord. Your lord took more than 3,000 of us to the capital, and everyone else stayed behind.

How can I leave there? You should go on the road with me!" Song Jie heard Zou Heng's words, and a strange smile appeared on his face. At the same time, his eyes suddenly turned pure black.

The color of this dark night is even deeper.

At the same time, Zou Heng's feet moved and his body quickly retreated. The void where he was standing just now seemed to tremble quietly, and then returned to normal. It seemed that nothing had happened, but in fact Zou Heng had already avoided it.

An attack.

After his body retreated, Zou Heng did not stop immediately, but continued to dodge to the side. At the same time, he put one hand into the satchel on his waist, quickly grabbed a piece of silver, threw it out hard, and threw it towards Song.

Jay's direction.

The silver coin he threw flew quickly towards Song Jie with great force. Song Jie also quickly turned his head and looked at the piece of silver that had flown in front of him. He didn't see any movement from him.

, the piece of silver suddenly disappeared, and where it disappeared, the air was slightly distorted.

"Sir, you see, I also have power now. It's a pity that this power came a little later. Otherwise, I could really replace you back then. Unlike now, I can only use this power to ask you for help."
