The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"Clap!"

After a crisp sound, there was a circular gap in the original intact table. It can be seen that this whale-shaped creature just looks dumb, and its lethality cannot be underestimated.

It might be that the wood is not tasty. After the whale-shaped creature bit off a piece of the table, it paused for a while, and then spit out the piece of table with a 'pop', but the strange thing is that there is no There is no saliva-like substance, and it is still very dry, as if the saliva hanging from the corner of the creature's mouth is not real.

But after spitting out the innocent table, the group of whale-shaped creatures suddenly turned their heads, looked at Phoenix and the others not far away, and then they seemed to have found the best prey, and rushed over with short legs , During the period, I still opened my good teeth to show my appetite for Ma Ma Xiang.

Following the siege of the whale-shaped creatures, a group of fox-shaped monsters that climbed up to the roof were also alarmed, and then they rushed towards Phoenix's team mightily, as if they were going to tear them apart.

Seeing this scene, everyone took out their weapons. No need to say anything, they found their own direction and rushed forward. Even Wu You used his fishing rod as a weapon for the time being, and joined the battle with a bitter face.

"Gah!"

After getting close to a whale-shaped creature, Phoenix saw it take off directly, open its mouth and bite towards him. Phoenix did not hide, directly raised his right hand and made a knife in his hand, aiming at the mouth of the whale-shaped creature. Straight into it.

"Pfft."

It was clear that it had hit, but Phoenix didn't feel the reality. The bodies of these whale-shaped creatures were not hard at all, as if they were completely made of liquid, and they looked extremely fragile.

But after Phoenix pierced his mouth with a hand knife, the whale-shaped creature that was supposed to be hanging on his arm suddenly began to melt at an extremely fast speed, and soon turned into a pool of ink and fell to the ground, and then seeped into the ground. , disappeared completely, but there was no trace of ink staining on Phoenix's hands.

"Is this monster also a product of the painting? But looking at the panicked faces of these residents, it is obvious that this kind of thing has not existed for a day or two. Could it be that Xi also drew it? But is she free? Draw a bunch of ink creature attacks A resident of the world in the painting?"

Seeing the phenomenon of these strange creatures being killed, Phoenix couldn't help guessing the relationship between these creatures and Xi, but before Phoenix thought about it for a long time, more ink creatures pounced on them, all of them were extremely aggressive. Strong appearance.

After being besieged, Phoenix frowned, raised his hand, and the cold air overflowed. All the creatures surrounded by ink were frozen, covered with ice slag, and the creatures that had no support in the air were directly smashed into the ground. On the ground, smashed to pieces.

With this move, Phoenix cleared a large area of ​​ink creatures, and he had time to observe these things.

Looking down, Phoenix couldn't help but frowned again, because the corpses of ink creatures that had been smashed into pieces on the ground thawed and melted quickly, turning into ink and soaking into the bottom again, even those that had been frozen into ice sculptures. In just a few seconds, all the ink creatures that had covered the surrounding area just now disappeared, and even the ground where the ink soaked was extremely clean, as if they had never existed.

It can also be seen around that the ink creatures killed by others are similar to Phoenix's side. After being fatally injured, they will turn into ink and seep into the ground, as if returning to the original body.

This kind of environmental protection method can't help but make Phoenix think of the kind of sea sis mentioned by Shuiyue, but it's better not to confuse the two completely different creatures.

"Damn it, there are too many, Cross, you should try to reduce the consumption of arrows!"

After using spells to blow up the three ink monsters into splashes of ink, Yan Rong took the opportunity to take a few breaths, and reminded Kloss by the way.

Although the strength of these ink monsters is not very good, but the number is a bit scary, just like the origin stone swarm. Faced with such a situation, a sniper like Kloss with limited ammunition is not very good at it. It is not wise to waste arrows by clearing cannon fodder.

"I'm already doing it~"

In fact, there is no need for Yan Rong to remind, Klose is also aware of this, so after pointing out a little ink monster with the crossbow, she pulls out a crossbow arrow from the quiver and holds it in her hand. When used as a dagger, although the speed is definitely not as fast as Yanrong's magic bombing, it is better than saving enough.

Chapter 720 The Foothold of Poshan Town

"Isn't this thing really a specialty of the Yan Kingdom?"

Cooperating with Kloss, using Originium skills to continuously cause explosions to clean up the thank you ink monster, Yanrong also took a little time to ask Baizhu and Wuyou, but the answers of both of them were similar:

"If this thing was really running around in the Yan country, it would have been listed as a strange and endangered species and kept in captivity!"

"That's right, if this thing really existed, it would have become a big news that caused a sensation all over the country!"

Compared with Wuyou who used a fishing rod as a weapon to barely contend against the ink monsters around him, Baizhu's burning double knives were obviously more efficient. Almost the whole process was done with one knife and one ink monster, without ambiguity.

However, rather than chopping them all at once, what Bai Zhu wants to do is to directly release a large range of origin stone skills, so that it is more comfortable to clear the field.

However, since the ink monster will turn into ink and dissolve in the ground if it is killed, she is more or less worried that this thing will be resurrected and cannot be killed at all. In this way, it will consume a lot of origin stone skills to clear the field in a large area. It's not so cost-effective, she is not a professional warlock, and melee combat is what she is best at.

But at this time, a sudden chill spread over, and all the covered ink monsters turned into ice sculptures in an instant, and then shattered into ice slags on the ground, turning into ink and melting into the ground.

It was Phoenix. After easily eliminating the ink monster on his side, Phoenix immediately relied on his almost infinite blue physique to release a field clearing skill, which directly emptied the street a lot.

"Ahaha, as expected of Brother Fei, the strongest pioneer on Rhodes Island."

Seeing this scene, Cross silently withdrew her arrow and praised it a little, while Phoenix just smiled, then looked at the empty street, and frowned again.

Because those ink monsters appeared again, they crawled out from the dark corner again, because the appearance was exactly the same, as if they were all resurrected.

Seeing this scene, Yan Rong's expression also became extremely dignified. While raising the dagger to charge the spell, he said:

"I can't go on like this. How many such creatures are there? Is it possible to find their source?"

"But benefactor, the good ideas of these monsters crawl out from the corners. It's so difficult to find the source."

"Leave it alone, it's time to clean them up again."

To see those ink monsters gathered around again, everyone was ready to fight again, but just when they were about to do another dungeon, the melodious bell rang again.

"Clang...clang..."

When the bell rang, the group of ink monsters seemed to have been notified. Just now, they were still surrounding Phoenix and the others, but they retreated immediately in the next second, without the slightest nostalgia. In just a few seconds, they were full. The street that was the ink monster instantly became quiet and empty, as if nothing had happened, but the damaged roofs and roadside stalls proved that everything was true.

"Uh... so, just ran away like this?"

Seeing these monsters recede as soon as the bell rang, everyone was a little stunned for a while, but after Bai Zhu looked at the surrounding environment, he said very distressed:

"The architectural layout here...is very dangerous. The nearby houses are obviously in the style of residential buildings, and they are basically concentrated in the night area, while the daytime area on the other side is a market and a large area of ​​farmland. Although this layout is based on Judging from the current environment, it is considered normal, but every time you have to avoid the attacks of those monsters like this, is it true that nothing will happen?"

Although he knew that the people and things here were probably drawn by that Xi, Bai Zhu still couldn't keep himself out of the matter, and once he committed an occupational disease, he began to worry about the safety of ordinary people involuntarily.

Others also looked at each other, and then began to discuss:

"These monsters were also drawn by that Xi, right? After all, after killing them, they all turned into ink and disappeared. It feels like no one knows such spells except Xi, who is as mysterious as Nian, right?"

"No, no, benefactor of Yanrong, you should know that Yan Kingdom has never been short of capable people and strangers, and there are actually origin stone skills related to painting, but there are really few, and it feels like they won't have time to come here Just come to practice spells..."

"So, after all, it's still Xi's problem~"

"That is to say, our top priority now is to find the owner of the world in this painting, that is Xi? But, no one here has seen it before, so where should we find it?"

..............................

Listening to everyone's conversation, Phoenix frowned and didn't speak. Instead, he looked up at the mountain outside the town, deep in the dark night area. He noticed that the direction in which the ink monster left seemed to be It was walking towards that mountain.

Thinking of this, Phoenix was about to suggest that he go over there to take a look, but before he could speak, he heard a big man shouting excitedly:

"Oh, heroes! Thank you so much. If you hadn't beaten those monsters away, we would have spent ten days and a half months repairing the house."

Turning around, I saw a local resident of Poshan Town running over excitedly. Maybe it was not good to see that most of them were women, so he directly reached out and grabbed Wuyou's hand and shook it around. He was not afraid of everyone. Plenty of respect for the monsters and beating them off.

Feeling the tingling sensation caused by his arms being thrown back and forth, Wu You tried his best to maintain his demeanor, smiled friendly, and said for everyone:

"You don't need to be so polite, this fellow. When you are away from home, you can't ping on the road, so you draw your sword to help. You are a family, so what are you talking about?"

"Ahahaha, I'm sorry for you, I will definitely come to my house for a meal of dumplings in the future, and I will ask my mother-in-law to make more."

"Ah, it's okay, it's too troublesome."

"Hey, what's the trouble? My house is at the entrance of the alley over there. If you have time, you must come. By the way, sir asked me to ask you to go over and have a chat. Come with me."

After speaking, the local man directly pulled Wu You and walked towards one direction, resolutely, while the others saw this and followed, preparing to see that gentleman again.

........................

"Oh, it turned out to be four guests. I didn't expect you to be willing to help us when we first arrived. I would like to thank you for your bravery. Come, please sit down. I have prepared a good tea. Can I have a cup? "

Under the leadership of the local, everyone returned to the familiar garden again. The local left after bringing Phoenix to him. Phoenix and the others also walked into the garden again, and then they saw that person again. A part-time storyteller's 'Cooking Umbrella Layman'.

This time, with the favorability bonus of fighting the ink monster, the storyteller looked a little more kind.

"Ah, thank you, that's very kind of you."

"Then we should be respectful rather than obedient."

"Hey, this scent is definitely good tea."

………………

At the invitation of the storyteller, everyone sat down one after another, and the storyteller prepared clean teacups for everyone, and poured a cup of tea for everyone.

After the tea was poured, everyone didn't speak. First, they took a sip of tea in sync. Compared with Yan Rong, who was not used to drinking tea, Wu You and Bai Zhu tasted the taste. Phoenix simply thought it was very fragrant, while Ke Rose... just kept smiling and squinted her eyes, unable to tell whether she liked it or not.

After taking a sip of tea, Phoenix suddenly asked:

"Sir, I want to ask, what year is it now?"

Everyone has already told the storyteller about their origins, and they have already learned that this is Poshan Town. However, even under the protection of Nian's amulet, Bai Zhu and Wuyou are temporarily immune to the memory changes of the world in the painting. But I still can't remember where the place name of Poshan Town is, as if it doesn't appear in the plate of Yan Kingdom.

After hearing Phoenix's question, the storyteller was surprised at first, and then answered:

"It's Jingzuo's seventh year now, and it's past the beginning of spring. It's New Year's Eve. If you're not busy, you can come to me for a New Year's Eve dinner."

"Ah, thank you for your kindness."

Regarding the other party's invitation, Phoenix did not give a positive answer, but turned his head to look at Bai Zhu beside him, expressing his meaning very clearly, Bai Zhu immediately leaned over and said in a low voice:

"I've never heard of it, I've definitely heard of it, at least I won't be able to find this year name for hundreds of years, and it seems that there is not even a wire in the town... North, how many years has this Xi lived?"

After realizing this, Bai Zhutou began to wonder for the first time how many years that unreliable Yan Kingdom beast had lived in Nian. After all, even the world in this painting is more than a thousand years old. In other words, Xi is at least An old monster over a thousand years old, so her sister's age is estimated...

(Year: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

After Phoenix and Bai Zhu whispered for a while, the storyteller pretended not to see it, and said directly:

"If the heroes want to know something, it's okay to say, if I know, I will definitely give an answer."

"Then, Mr. Excuse me, please tell me about the history of this Poshan town?"

"Ah, if it's the history of Poshan Town, then there's something to be said. According to legend, there was a wealthy businessman..."

In the next 10 minutes, the storyteller slowly told the story of Poshan Town. To put it simply, there was a fire in the house of a rich businessman, and a large area of ​​the house was burned. For any damaged paintings, the businessman was inspired, and sent people to search for the place in the painting, and then found Poshan, and then settled here. Slowly because of the peaceful environment here, more and more people, there is the current Poshan Town.

The whole history sounds quite dramatic, but for Phoenix and the others, it doesn’t help much. After all, they haven’t even heard of the year number, let alone get the exact information here based on a piece of history.

"Then... the weather?"

After the storyteller finished talking about the history, Yan Rong asked a question he was more concerned about. Regarding Yan Rong's question, the storyteller seemed even more puzzled, and asked directly:

"The color of the sky? Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have hung in the sky, the sun is in the east, and the moon is in the west. It is not easy through the ages. Is there any problem?"

"Ah, nothing."

Seeing the other party's performance, Yan Rong understood that the storyteller was obviously an aborigine in the world in the painting, one of the lives painted by Xi, and his memories were probably arranged for him by this world .

After realizing this, everyone's interest dropped a lot. After all, the only things that could be asked out of his mouth were some things that were common sense to the people here, and the more secretive ones might not be able to be asked. , Yan Rong simply put the topic on the monsters they saw before:

"What are those monsters?"

"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I don't know. I don't know when it started. Every time around New Year's Eve, a large number of monsters will appear in Hongdong Mountain to invade the town. It has been like this for many years. Even though I have read a lot of ancient books and asked those There are very few outsiders here, and they haven't found any solution, simply those monsters can't be in the sun, so this has become our habit, but it's just a sleepless night."

"Is that so...you haven't thought about solving it in the past?"

"Oh, I never thought about it, but it's a pity that the residents in Poshan Town are ordinary people, and there are no people who know calligraphy. Those monsters move fast, it is really difficult."
