The daily life of non-human beings traveling through time and space

"I know you want to kill him." Shi Yue looked at the city lord thoughtfully, but said to Xiu Mi: "But before that, one thing must be confirmed."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and fiddled with the invisible threads in the air that extended from the city lord's heart.

"If you die, what will happen to all the wind guards whose hearts are connected by wires?" Shi Yue asked the city lord.

The other party replied truthfully: "When I am on the verge of death, their vitality will be spontaneously and uncontrollably dedicated to me."

Hearing this, Xiu Mi froze.If he had just rushed up and seriously injured or killed the city lord, then the life of the city lord might not be the only one who ended up...he would have killed many, many people.

There are many wind guards of the city lord, some of them are in Fengcheng, but more are on the frontline battlefield.

After all, no one knows when the monsters will suddenly attack again, and the war with monsters is the main theme of this world that has lasted for nearly 300 years.The city lords of the four main cities have arranged for many warriors to garrison there for a long time, and Fengcheng is one of the four main cities.

"What about when you were injured? For example, on the battlefield in March last year, how did you gain a lot of vitality? At that time, you were not on the verge of death, right? How did you control the lifeline?"

"If I'm not injured to the point of dying, I can only call Liang Ji and ask her to help me directly obtain vitality and heal myself."

"Then, what is your purpose in recruiting Fengwei?"

"Control Wind City, develop my personal power, enshrine Liang Ji's vitality, delay my aging, heal my serious injuries..."

That is to say, these lifelines are usually very slow and subtle—from the huge number of wind guards, they continuously absorb and automatically transfer their life force to the city lord.

The accumulation of these absorbed vitality is quite astonishing, but looking at an individual individually, even if the absorption of a wind guard continues for many years, it will not cause much damage, although the body will become weaker and weaker with time. , but far, it can be said that it does not reach the level of life-threatening.

However, as time goes by and age increases, the gradual weakness of the body is actually unavoidable.

Under such circumstances, using this price in exchange for a little ability to control the wind may not be unacceptable to some wind guards.

But the fact is more than that. After being connected to the lifeline, Fengwei's life has been controlled by the city lord, although only when he is on the verge of death, the lifeline will take the initiative to play its most terrifying role. Drain the vitality of all the wind guards, causing them to die of exhaustion, and use it to save the city lord.

But this does not mean that as long as the city lord is not on the verge of death, their lives will be guaranteed, because the city lord can arbitrarily take their lives to heal himself if he is injured in any way.

In short, since they became wind guards, life and death are no longer up to them to decide. The life-threatening scythe of death hangs above their heads, and it is uncertain when it will suddenly fall.

"Where is Liangji?"

"She went to pick up Heyman..."

"Hyman?"

"Heyman is the lord of Flower City, my collaborator, and my lover."

"What is she here for?"

"Come with me to plan how to kill Shumi properly."

"Why did you kill Xiumi?"

"Because Heyman and I have betrayed everyone on this land, we have taken refuge in the Kwaimoen Stars, passed on the news secretly and obeyed their orders. The demon summoned by Xiumi caused a great commotion and made them feel threat, so the Kwaimoen asked me and Heyman to kill him."

At this time, Xiu Mi couldn't help but said: "Who are the Kui Moen people?"

"It's people from another world who created monsters and let monsters attack this land. The Kuimonians can create such monsters endlessly, and use countless monsters to kill everyone on this land. kill."

Shumi fell silent.

Shi Yue leaned back in the chair, and finally said to the city lord: "Now you can summon that good concubine, let her come here to see you."

Immediately, the city lord began to control the imaginary sea in his mind, causing the "sea surface" to surge violently. This was a signal for Liang Ji and the demon he summoned to sense this signal immediately, and return to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible.

Another carriage drove into the Windy City, and the driver was the confidant of the city lord. This carriage was far more spacious, comfortable and luxurious than the one that Xiu Mi and Shiyue rode before.

In the car sat Haiman, the lord of the Flower City. This is a plump and beautiful woman. She leaned on the couch and stretched out her hand. A delicate and gorgeous flower butterfly was flying and spinning at her fingertips.

The butterfly's wings are extremely gorgeous, dazzling and eye-catching, as if there is brilliance flowing and flickering in it... Only continuous and focused observation will discover that the beautiful sparkling lines on the wings are actually hiding small eyes that are peeping out.

A spider, one-third the size of an adult, was now parked beside Heyman.

This spider has the same gorgeous colors and patterns as a butterfly, but it does not have countless densely packed eyes, but it has sixteen legs, and there is a strange woman's face on its head. Lively, able to talk and laugh, no different from people.

The butterfly soon got tired of playing with Heyman's fingertips, and flew to the spider instead. The human-faced spider obviously welcomed it approaching him, and stretched out several legs to tease the butterfly.

Halfway through the carriage, the spider suddenly stopped and paused. The woman's face on it opened its mouth, and the voice was delicate and sweet: "The city lord has something to ask me."

Hyman laughed: "You go first, I'll come later."

Then the spider jumped out of the carriage and drove away, as fast as a gust of wind.

Heyman raised the corner of the car curtain, and said to the driver: "When we get there, let someone arrange a room for me first. I need to take a shower and make up before going to see your city lord."

"Here we come." Shi Yue looked outside the house.

As soon as he finished speaking, a big colorful spider crawled into the room through the window.

The woman's face on the spider's head saw the city master standing there in a daze at a glance. Her eyeballs rolled around and she looked at Shi Yue and Xiu Mi: "Who are you? What did you do to him?"

"You are Liang Ji?" Shi Yue felt a little familiar with this human-faced spider, but he didn't think deeply about it. He has traveled through many worlds and seen many things. Among them, human-faced spiders are not common, but Nothing special either.

Liang Ji stared at Shi Yue vigilantly, glanced at Xiu Ya from the corner of her eye, and tentatively moved her legs back.

She felt threatened from Shi Yue.

The next second, Liang Ji suddenly felt some invisible, huge and terrifying pressure descending from the sky, firmly suppressing her in place.

Immediately afterwards, she fell into a silvery dream—

In this dream, she successfully got rid of Shi Yue's oppression, and quickly left the City Lord's Mansion, and happened to meet Heyman who was still sitting in the carriage and the demon summoned by Heyman, the thousand-eyed butterfly... She convinced Haiman Man, they decided to stay away from the Windy City immediately.

When she realized that this was just an illusion, Liang Ji was horrified to find that she was still in the same place at the moment, and not far away was Shi Yue's calm face.

Immediately, she was shocked to find that those spider silks pulled out by her—spider silks that could absorb human vitality, had all been taken back into her body by her at some point.

Before she could recover, her body was once again held in place by invisible pressure.

And just after these lifelines were taken back by Liang Ji, the city lord originally only looked like a face in his early forties, a strong and vigorous body... all returned to their original appearance with the disappearance of the lifelines.

He looks at least over 60 years old now, his hair is mostly white, his skin has turned dark yellow, there are more wrinkles on his face, his body is bent, and he looks like an old man.

Shi Yue snapped his fingers.

The city lord finally regained his mind and consciousness.

He was still in a dream, but soon, he understood what happened.

He was confused by the illusion, lost his mind, and said a lot of things he shouldn't have said.

At this time, Xiu Mi stood up, he touched the short knife at his waist, and looked at the city lord with serious eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

"What do you want to do!" the city lord said loudly.

He didn't look at Shi Yue, knowing that he had seriously underestimated the silver-haired monster this time, and also understood that at this time, he and Liang Ji would probably have no choice but to kneel down to the silver-haired monster and beg for mercy. Watch Shuya.

In any case, this young man named Xiumi is the summoner of the silver-haired demon, perhaps the demon is very willing to listen to this young man, so he can only and only dare to start with this young man——

The city lord glanced at his old trembling hands, glanced at Liang Ji, and thought to himself, as long as he can avoid this disaster, even if he can hand over the whole Fengcheng, as long as he can escape with Liang Ji, then Give him a little more time, a little time, and he'll make a comeback in no time.

"Are you going to do something to a frail old man?" The city lord looked at Xiu Mi, who took a trembling step forward, looking like a candle in the wind.

Shuya hesitated for two seconds——

The city owner looked even older than the old village head of the deserted village at the moment. Xiu Mi's hand holding the handle of the knife slightly exerted force, but he couldn't pull it out.

The city lord's heart secretly relaxed.

Boy, still too young... But Shiyue doesn't think that Shumi's hesitation is wrong, it's normal, human beings are always determined to do something or give up because of appearances, or some incomprehensible thoughts and personal persistence Doing a thing, sometimes it's irritating, but sometimes it's also something special and fascinating about them.

Shi Yue stroked little A who had come to his side at some time, and then stood up.

The city lord trembled uncontrollably, and glanced at him fearfully, but quickly calmed down and looked at Xiu Mi again, trying to show how old he was, weak and harmless.

Shi Yue walked past the city lord, for an instant, they didn't have the slightest body or clothing contact, Shi Yue quickly passed him and walked to the door.

The city lord looked at himself in horror, then turned to look at Shi Yue.At this moment, his body seemed to go back in time—restored its previous strength and vitality.

What happened...was that silver-haired demon?In just a moment, he returned to his previous appearance?

Could it be that his old age just now was actually just a false illusion?

Or, he is still in the illusion at this moment...

The sky was dark, and dusk was approaching again.

Shi Yue pushed open the door and stepped out. He tilted his head slightly, and said lightly, "Do what you want."

Apparently this was for Shumi.

The young man nodded solemnly, looked at the city lord, and drew out the dagger at his waist without hesitation.
