Yi Yan's face was covered with cold sweat, and there was a huge wave in his heart.
He was eating his fingers calmly, and there was an unfathomable aura emanating from his whole body. Even if he activated the technique, he could not tell what he was.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Before his thoughts were completely dispersed, he heard a deafening ringing of bells in the martial arts training ground.
This is something that Ember has never heard of in the past few days when he entered Cloud Gate.
There was a "squeak" sound.
Zhang Wanyu hurriedly opened the door of her room, wearing a familiar gray robe, her eyes full of despair and shock.
"There's a mission, hurry up and get there"
Glancing at the confused Ember, she said hastily.
"Task?"
Yi Yan was a little confused and followed them to the martial arts training hall.
The ghost hunters also looked restless along the way. They worriedly asked their companions around them what was going on, and the atmosphere was very solemn for a while.
From Zhang Wanyu's explanation, Yi Jin also roughly knew that when a task was issued in the city, various sects that needed to travel would be notified of the event.
And these tasks are nothing more than exploring some unknown places outside the city, killing the ghosts there, and further expanding the scope of human habitation.
But it's often very dangerous.
Just like the Bianyin Village last time.
Maybe the city lord had already expected that this place would be very complicated. Those who arranged to go to Bianyin Village were all the elites in the town. Even so, the entire army was wiped out.
It is normal for 80% to 90% of the personnel to die in a mission, so people usually go on missions as if they are dead. No one knows whether they can survive the mission.
The martial arts training ground was already packed at the moment, and the large number of ghost hunters were very quiet.
The Sect Master's Mansion is on the left side of the martial arts training ground. Mr. Wang and Wang Kun are both there at the moment, and between them stands a man in black.
The man had a solemn expression and cold eyes. He held a piece of human skin paper in his hand and glanced repeatedly at the crowd.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on the ember.
"Dear friends of Yunmen, it was a long time ago when I last went on a mission," the man in black said with a slight smile.
"A mission has been announced in the city, which requires everyone in Yunmen to participate in the mission of eradicating the water ghosts in Dayang Lake. I hope everyone in Yunmen can discuss specific countermeasures and the teleportation will be carried out at noon tomorrow."
"What!?"
"Why is it Dayang Lake?"
"Aren't all of us just looking for death here?"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while, and even Mr. Wang and Wang Kun, who had a catering smile on their faces, looked a little gloomy at the moment.
"Quiet!"
The man in black waved his hand expressionlessly, and everyone in the hall fell into silence again.
"I know it's hard for everyone, but there's nothing you can do about it. It's the order given by the Lord of the City. I'm just a messenger. There's nothing I can do to stop it."
"However, the team traveling with you this time is very strong. It is the top five ghost hunter sect in the city--Bai Yue Sect. The person participating in the Bai Yue Sect's trip this time is Bai Ling, Master Bai, and he is also from Bai Yue.
Brother, a master of the fifth level of Kong Shun’s power, if you feel that you are not very confident about this trip, you can discuss it with Lord Bai Ling in advance."
After the man in black finished speaking, he handed the human skin paper to Mr. Wang and left in a hurry, leaving no time for people to ask questions.
"Bai Yue Gate!? I understand. Didn't that Yan Yan kill the ghost hunter of Bai Yue's team a few days ago? It must be because of him that we suffered this kind of crime!"
"That's right, that's right!"
The ghost hunters who knew Yu Ember surrounded the four of them into a center, looked at the four of them and said.
Yu Yan’s heart is also very heavy.
This is most likely a conspiracy by the Baiyue Sect. They killed four of their ghost hunters last time, and this time they allowed him to perform a mission in order to get rid of him.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Wang Kun punched the wall, causing everyone who was scolding the ember to calm down immediately.
"I don't know what the Baiyue Sect means, and I also know that everyone doesn't understand my inclusion of Ember into the Sect."
"But everyone should know that the few ghost hunters at the first level of Kong Shun's strength killed by Ember are dispensable to them, so they will not use this as an excuse to target us."
"What's more, our superior Black Tiger Hall is a sect above the Baiyue Sect. Just for Yu Yan to target us, I don't think anyone from the Baiyue Sect would do such a stupid thing."
"The last time we went on a mission was ten months ago. Based on the time it took to carry out the mission, we have already avoided many missions, so don't complain, go back and prepare well. When we are ready, we will go to Kongshunmen tomorrow.
"
Wang Kun said calmly.
Those ghost hunters also knew that this incident was unlikely to be caused by the ember, but faced with the fear of death, they naturally vented their panic on the ember.
Many ghost hunters went back to prepare things, and the four Embers did not neglect them either.
Along the way, many people still cursed them in front of their faces.
Yi Yan returned to the room, feeling a little uneasy at the moment.
But since he practiced the Qing Jing Sutra, he put down the practice of the Huang Xie Yin Ji Sutra, because he felt that sooner or later something would happen to him if he practiced this evil method, so he wanted to use the Qing Jing Sutra to suppress the resentment in his body first, and then find ways to improve it.
strength.
But this method resulted in his strength not improving during this period, but actually declining a lot.
Because he is not in the corpse state, he cannot use resentment at all.
"Brother Jin, what should we do?"
Wang Hu had already packed up all his things and put them into the statue of Kong Shu, and then said.
"I estimate that the current strength can defeat the ghost hunters at the first level of Kong Shun's strength, but there is no way to watch this mission. Without Wang Xiaoli to help us, I don't know how to survive this mission."
"I know there are ways to live as long as possible."
Zhang Wanyu walked in alone and said.
"I heard about Dayang Lake when I was in Lieyangmen. This place was still inhabited more than ten years ago, but an evil incident occurred in the village, causing everyone in the village to jump into the lake and drown. It is said that in Dayang Lake
In Yanghu, only people with Kong Shun's strength level two or above can protect themselves."
"Second floor?"
Yan Yan took a deep breath, sat on the bed and said.
"Yes, but the scariest thing when you first go in is not the ghosts, but the people traveling with you." Zhang Wanyu looked at the embers and continued.
"Master Kong Shun encourages us to kill each other. Killing fellow ghost hunters will earn more points than killing ghosts."
"Usually, when you kill a ghost hunter with slow torture, you can get twice the points. As long as you kill your companion in a more painful way, you will get more points."
Looking at Zhang Wanyu's solemn look, Yu Yan realized that the environment he was in was really bad.
If you don't practice the Huangxie Yinji Sutra again, it's very likely that you won't even be able to survive after being teleported.
The Evil God Kong Centipede is naturally fond of eating pain, and all its power comes from human suffering.
Ember doesn't want to use Kong Shun's power.
The more and more times it is used, it is very likely that even the whole person will be taken away by Kong Shun in the end.
"I will activate Kong Shun's power at that time to help you hold off those ghost hunters. I just ask you to take Aunt Bai and run farther away. Generally, the mission only lasts seven days. After seven days, you can go back from the human skin, so I ask you to do your best.
Maybe saving Aunt Bai's life can be regarded as a reward for giving me food these days."
Zhang Wanyu took a deep breath, her eyes were very determined, like a soldier ready to die.
"Sorry, I can't guarantee this."
Yi Yan shook his head and said.
At this point, they have no way to guarantee that they can protect the lives of several people 100%.
"I can help you!"
Just when Yu Yan was distressed, Yang Daoyi's voice emerged in his mind.
