Douluo: I just want to be a sword god in peace

Chapter 178 Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?

"Cough cough!"

In the dust cloud, Shen Ce got up from the ground while coughing.

He looked around and saw dust in his eyes. Although it wasn't completely dark, he still couldn't see his fingers.

"Father? Where are you?"

The eyes couldn't work for the time being, Shen Ce could only tremblingly search around, groping backwards while shouting.

Suddenly, the ground behind seemed to be completely sunken, and Shen Ce, who was completely out of focus on the soles of his feet, let out an exclamation, subconsciously about to fall down, but felt a force coming from his hand:

"Why are you running around?"

Ji Wuchang felt a headache for no reason as he used his soul power to shake away the dust around him.Be it the surrounding soil or rocks, they were all turned into dust under his eighth-level fixed-installed soul guide shells, and even if they were swung away, they would return in less than three seconds.

He didn't expect that the dust would linger so long in the center of the explosion of the eighth-level fixed-installed soul guide shell.

"Ji Wuchang! Where's my dad?"

Shen Ce stood up straight with some effort, and Ji Wuchang also let him go.

"Your dad is fine, just over there. It's you, don't run around!"

Ji Wuchang's tone was somewhat complaining.

"Then who told you to throw this thing away again? I thought I was going to die!"

Shen Ce's tone trembled a little.

"Hey, then I'm sure I won't be so brainless!"

Ji Wuchang smiled:

"But if I don't use it, I can't guarantee that I can save you in the hands of a soul emperor and a soul saint!"

"Besides, the surrounding evil soul masters are all gathering here. Instead of killing them one by one, it's better to wait for them to gather together and launch a range bombing!"

Shen Ce calmed down and sat down on the spot.

None of their martial souls have the attribute of wind, which can accelerate the dispersion of dust, so they can only wait slowly.

Naturally, Ji Wuchang couldn't see clearly what Shen Ce was doing, but it was certain that he was fine.So he used his memory to go back to the place where he and Jiang Nannan separated just now.

"Ouch! Ji Wuchang, where are you messing around!"

A shy and angry voice came from the dust, and Ji Wuchang's head was instantly beaten.

"I didn't do it on purpose, isn't it invisible?"

Cancan withdrew the dragon claw hand that had touched the softness just now, Ji Wuchang just wanted to sit down next to Jiang Nannan, but the right hand that supported him touched a softness again...

"Who is this?"

Ji Wuchang muttered, he could clearly feel that what he touched was definitely a girl, but Jiang Nannan didn't make any more noise, then...

"Sin of sin!"

Carefully withdrew his hand, Ji Wuchang walked to the side wisely.

"what are you saying?"

Jiang Nannan's voice sounded again.

"It's okay! I said wait until the dust clears!"

Ji Wuchang laughed and diverted his attention.

Sitting down at a random place, Ji Wuchang clasped his hands together:
"It's so comfortable, this feeling..."

…………

"Hey, what should I do now?"

As time passed, the dust around him was no longer flying, and the gentle breeze refreshed Ji Wuchang, who was a bit bored.

Turning his head and looking around, a huge pit appeared in his field of vision, the surrounding soil was scorched, and the ground three meters away from them as the center was completely concave, whether it was a house or a tree, or Those two evil soul masters have completely disappeared at this moment.

Shen Ce sat paralyzed on the edge of the three-meter range, staring blankly at the Yiling Village that had turned into barren land, not knowing what to think about.The confused words just now also came from his mouth.

"Don't be so pessimistic, at least Uncle Shen Huang still... Li Xiangping is still alive."

Ji Wuchang walked over and patted him on the shoulder, then returned to Jiang Nannan's side.

Jiang Nannan had just treated Shen Huang's penetrating wound on his right chest, but she was not a healing soul master after all, so she could only bandage it up a bit, and she needed to find healing soul masters or doctors in nearby towns.

Seeing Ji Wuchang approaching him, Jiang Nannan seemed to recall the scene of being eaten tofu just now, her face blushed, she gave Ji Wuchang a hard look, then moved towards Li Xiangping, just like Ji Wuchang Impermanence is like a hooligan.

"It seems that I can only use this to comfort myself now..."

Shen Ce smiled bitterly:
"If you hadn't arrived in time, maybe not only would we have lost our lives, but we would even have been insulted before we died."

Thinking of that scene, Shen Ce couldn't help but shudder.

"I'm very surprised. Wasn't it all right? Although there are more evil soul masters, I think you have scales in your hands. At least there is no problem in keeping Yiling Village, right?"

Ji Wuchang turned his head to look at Shen Ce, as if he wanted to get the reason why Yiling Village fell...

"Huh~"

Shen Ce smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Did you know? The military just came here a few days ago."

"military?"

Ji Wuchang frowned:

"The military of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Otherwise who else could it be?"

Shen Ce smiled bitterly:

"They wanted us to fit into their new team. But we said no."

"Why? Didn't Yiling Village seek the military's protection for you from the beginning because you wanted to join the army?"

Ji Wuchang tilted his head:
"Could it be that the conditions they gave were not good enough?"

"There are many reasons, and the most intuitive one is that they will transfer us to other places to station. This alone is absolutely unacceptable to us!"

Shen Ce grinned, but there was countless anger in his eyes:

"If we just relocate Yiling Village to other places, we can actually accept it. After all, this is a call from the country. As citizens of this country, we naturally have an obligation and a responsibility."

"But they actually only accept those who are more powerful than the soul master! Not only will the people who have been collected not receive any subsidies, they can't even guarantee the safety of their own family members!"

"Before that, they all disliked us because we were not soul masters. Not only did they not provide any protection, but they used us as cannon fodder and a tool to make money!"

"We will naturally not agree to such an encounter! Even if we resist, even if we quit this nationality, even if we are labeled as 'traitors', we still have not surrendered!"

Shen Ce's voice suddenly became low:

"But no one knows why, three days ago, that is, the second day after the military personnel were driven away by us, there were suddenly more evil spirit masters nearby! Not only that, they even started to fight in an organized and disciplined manner." The capture of Yiling Village! Our family members have been worn out one by one, and the area we can hold on to is getting smaller and smaller. Until later even..."

"We're the only ones left..."

"It's such a coincidence..."

Ji Wuchang did not fall into a downturn because of the atmosphere, but noticed the strange point in Shen Ce's description:

"I remember that the original evil soul masters are already organized. Could it be just an illusion?"

He could hear Shen Ce's voice-over, but it was obvious that he had some doubts about this matter.

"Organization is definitely there, but usually they each occupy the mountain as king, each has a certain range, and the adjacent positions are inviolable, but because they are evil soul masters, they often fight on their own, so We didn’t suffer as much before.”

"But this time, the evil soul masters seem to be controlled by the same person, or the same organization! In the past, the two evil soul masters who were about to fight when they met in the past suddenly joined forces. I think you can understand such a weird situation. mean something."

Shen Ce could clearly see Ji Wuchang's suspicion, so he explained it like this.

"If it's really what you said...then things will explode!"

Ji Wuchang frowned, and looked at Jiang Nannan:

"Sister Nannan, it seems that we need to let the members of the monitoring team know about the situation!"

"Don't ask me! Anyway, you have the final say on Shrek."

Jiang Nannan rolled his eyes at him:
"Also, when you two are going to talk, his injury needs to be dealt with."

"Ah? Father!"

Shen Ce was also a little annoyed, he actually forgot about his seriously injured father...

"Let's go! Let's go to the nearest town first!"

Ji Wuchang helped Shen Huang onto Shen Ce's back, and at the same time faced Jiang Nannan's eyes that were about to kill someone, bit the bullet and hugged Princess Li Xiangping.Shen Ce's eyes were a little complicated, but more of a relief.He carried Shen Huang on his back, and after identifying the direction, he walked to the front and led the way.

After all, he knows that Ji Wuchang is a road idiot!
…………

"Sure enough, only you were attacked by evil soul masters?"

Looking at Shen Ce who pushed the door and entered, Ji Wuchang asked curiously.

"..."

Shen Ce was silent, just nodded, his clenched fists turned white.

"Is it really a planned conspiracy?"

Ji Wuchang didn't speak any more, and took a sip of the tea, but the bittersweet fragrance couldn't calm down his bored heart.

"Damn! I'm really not suitable for drinking tea! The more people drink, the more relaxed they become, and the more I drink, the more annoying I get!"

Putting the tea in the cup into his mouth in one breath, Ji Wuchang got up and pushed open the door, and walked towards the outside.

"where are you going?"

The door of the next room was pushed open at the same time, Jiang Nannan half leaned against the door, showing no expression on her face.Maybe it was because she had just washed, her delicate collarbone was exposed without reservation, and the shoulder straps also slid down a little face-saving, which was very imaginative.

In the past, Ji Wuchang would definitely look a little more and talk a little bit more, but now he is not in the mood:
"Going out to drink, drinking tea is boring."

After speaking, he didn't meet Jiang Nannan again, and walked downstairs alone.

The location they are in is an inn in a medium-sized city, or it is not a problem to call it a hotel. After all, except for the electricity used, the equipment is not much different from the hotel in the previous life.

"Serve... Xiao Er, help me get some wine."

Greeting Xiao Er at the side, Ji Wuchang arranged like this.

"Ah... this guest officer, this store actually has a liquor store."

The shop waiter smiled and said to Ji Wuchang.

Although this might offend customers, he obviously didn't want to miss out on the little money he earned by selling the inn's inventory because he was in urgent need of money.

"you're so dumb!"

Ji Wuchang pressed the waiter on the shoulder of the shop waiter, and invited him "friendly" to a corner:

"I know all about your hotel. It's expensive, and the taste is not good. How much money can you earn by selling it? Isn't it all in other people's pockets?"

"Help me run to the best-tasting store in the city to buy some wine. I will give you a hundred gold soul coins, and you can buy me a bottle of wine with the best reputation, preferably stronger. Everything is yours."

"Really?"

The waiter's eyes turned red in an instant, he never thought that the pie in the sky would happen to him one day.

"Of course it's true! Go, go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you on the roof, and just bring it up when the time comes."

Ji Wuchang patted him on the shoulder, and at the same time took out a heavy bag from the storage soul guide, and handed it to the waiter.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
