In the morning, in the small courtyard of the county government office, Xu Ming slowly tasted the food made by Xiaoyuan.

Although the food made by this girl is not that delicious and tastes much less than that made by a county chef, Xu Ming is already used to this taste.

Next to him, his face was red and he was stealing the food in the bowl while sneaking at Xu Ming.

The two of them sat on the stone table in the yard for dinner. Under an eaves in the yard, Tang Zhong, Liang Zhen and others secretly called themselves strange when they looked at the situation of the master and servant.

This was the first time they saw that the servant girl could actually have a meal with her master.

Ignoring the strange gazes from others, after quickly finishing breakfast, Xu Ming wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then stood up and walked towards Liang Zhen and others who had been waiting for him for a long time.

After half of the incense time, several figures of people surrounded the county government study and were located in it.

They are Xu Ming, maid Xiaoyuan, county magistrate Tang Zhong, and Liang Zhen and Lin Lao.

Xu Ming sat between Xiaoyuan and Liang Zhen. After everyone sat down, he directly expressed his purpose.

"Shou Liang, I'm going to say that Xu's purpose in coming to the county government this time was to find a way to break the black fog that covered the entire Shuichuan County. I wonder if you can provide any useful information."

Hearing this, Liang Zhen, who was sitting next to him, turned his head slightly and looked at Old Lin on his right.

Speaking of this black fog, Mr. Lin, who had dealt with it ten years ago, had the most say.

"Since Mr. Xu is so happy, I will naturally not hide it."

Facing Liang Zhen's eyes, Mr. Lin, whose flesh and blood were almost dry, straightened his hunched waist.

He looked at Xu Ming with his turbid pupils, and said with a slow tone.

"I guess Mr. Xu has already known that this black fog must have been released by a demon."

Seeing Xu Ming nodding silently, Old Lin continued to speak.

"And this demon, Lao I, had a deal with it ten years ago, was a village located on the eastern edge of Quanzhou."

"At that time, the black fog released by this demon was far from that large, and it could cover several villages at most..."

In the study room where the candlelight was dark, Xu Ming and others listened quietly and carefully to Mr. Lin’s revelation about his first contact with the fog demon.

It was not until half an hour passed that Lin Lao Cang's voice fell silent in the study.

Xu Ming sat upright on the wooden chair. After listening to Mr. Lin’s description, he felt a little surprised.

He did not expect that this trip to the county government not only found clues about breaking through the black fog blockade, but also knew some secrets about demons.

According to Mr. Lin, most of the demons that exist in this world are actually without intelligence, and they are just relying on their own instincts to act.

And under normal circumstances, these demons who do not produce spiritual intelligence will not violate their instincts.

This means that even some ordinary people can perceive the instincts of this kind of demon when they encounter such demons, they can survive the strange events formed by demons.

Generally speaking, demons without intelligence will not stay in the same area for too long, of course, the premise is that no one can trigger its murderous instinct for a period of time.

When he first heard this news, Xu Ming was extremely surprised. In the past, he used to suppress demons to rely on "brute force". With insight into the characteristics of the talisman, he could easily find the demons and destroy them.

Therefore, he had no idea about this secret about the demon and had been dealing with the demon for three years.

As his mind turned, Xu Ming suppressed his slightly confused thoughts and began to think about the current situation.

There is no doubt that according to the information that Mr. Lin just revealed, the fog demon that released black fog is also a demon who acts by instinct.

Moreover, the demon's instinct of action was already discovered by Mr. Lin at that time.

It will only attack a group with no more than three people, and the smaller the number of people, the greater the probability of attacking.

When only one person walks in the black fog, he will definitely be attacked by the fog demon.

When two people walk in the black fog, there is a higher chance of being attacked by the fog demon.

When three people walk through the black fog together, the possibility of being attacked is extremely small.

As for groups of four or more people, they will not be attacked by the fog demon at all.

In short, this fog demon that releases black fog is a demon who likes to catch singles.

"Since this is the case, it will not be difficult to solve this demon."

After concentrating on his mind for a while, Xu Ming said in contemplation.

"Has Mr. Xu thought of a way to deal with the demon?"

Tang Zhong asked with a slight look in his eyes.

His biggest wish now is to quickly restore Shuichuan County to its original state.

It is not only for the sake of one's own safety, but also for one's own relatives and the people in the county.

According to Mr. Lin’s statement just now, he encountered the village where the demon was located ten years ago, and a family survived.

After the black fog disappeared, all the others turned into a dead bone.

There are a total of 100,000 residents in Shuichuan County. Thinking of the consequences of being completely covered by black fog, Tang Zhong felt a little cold.

"There is no good way, it's just a clumsy way."

Without irritating the appetite of the county master, Xu Ming smiled and quickly revealed his thoughts.

"That's right. I plan to use the demon's action instinct to seduce its body, and then take the opportunity to kill it."

"Use the instinct of the demon to lure it out and kill it?"

Tang Zhong was shocked after hearing this. After quickly summarizing Xu Ming's words in his mind, he turned his eyes and swept his eyes one by one from Xu Ming, Liang Zhen and Lin.

Then, he raised a very realistic question.

"Who is going to be the one who leads the demon?"

In the end, after everyone's unanimous discussion, the important task of attracting the demon to appear fell on Liang Zhen.

If you want to say the most suitable candidate, you will naturally be the strongest Xu Ming.

But Xu Ming did not take on this task. Once he did this, it would mean that in this extremely unstable environment, he would have to be separated from Xiaoyuan for a long time.

This was an unacceptable thing for Xu Ming. In his mind, Xiaoyuan's safety was on the same level as his own safety.

No one knows how lonely Xu Ming, who had just traveled to this world three years ago and had no relatives, was in his heart.

Therefore, no one knows how important the maid who has always been with Xu Ming is in Xu Ming's heart.

Not a relative, but better than a blood relative.
