[Gu Jian III] The Days I Worked in Xuanyuan Hill

If you look at the territory after 4000 years, the location of Ranyu Mountain should be close to Siberia.Fortunately, it's summer now. If it's another season, I can freeze like an idiot without a down jacket and a jacket.

But even in the summer, the difference between having a cheat and not having a cheat is clearly highlighted here.

"Ah - sneeze!"

The three people behind me sneezed a lot at the same time, Zhao Ye rubbed his red nose, looked at my chest with envious eyes, and spoke with envious arias: "Boss—— How prescient you are, although I think you usually wear such strict clothes in the tribe, you are full of suspicion of imitating a respectable person like Master Ji Xuanyuan, but..."

"I won't wear it for you." I ruthlessly interrupted his unprofessional rainbow fart, and also blocked the words of the other two soldiers who were about to open their mouths.

"……Oh."

Zhao Ye shut his mouth resentfully, and wrapped his little leather skirt tightly in the howling wind.After a few minutes of rest, he began to mutter and complain again: "I don't understand why the demons always like to gather in such ecologically unfriendly places? It's either a crater or a snow-capped mountain. Last time we went to the desert. They Can it be considered a creature? Why is it so anti-human?"

I thought about it, and tried to analyze: "Maybe it's because it's so cool in this kind of place? When you appear in front of them with a snot in your nose, it's more handsome because of its strange appearance and no snot?"

Zhao Ye opened his mouth, as if he couldn't find a reason to refute and was angry, so he could only stare at me.

The other two soldiers, who have long been accustomed to my fallacies, walked forward calmly and silently...

"Strange, there is no magic energy here." One of the soldiers stopped, frowning, and looked around carefully.

This person is named Qi, and his strength is not very strong, but in terms of the perception of devil energy, sometimes he is stronger than the priests of the Hall of Witches.I watched his movements, and pretended to close my eyes to feel it... Well, I can't feel it. It seems that I only turned on the plug-in of strange power this time. The metaphysical ability of sensing magic power is like cultivating immortals to me. It's too idealistic to do it at all.

But as the boss, can I admit my incompetence? !

"Indeed." I nodded solemnly, "The way we came here was a bit too clean, even if we didn't encounter any inferior demons, this situation is wrong."

"Not only on the way here, here... there is not even a trace of demonic energy, not even a sign of past activities." Qi's face showed a trace of worry, "Master Changning, should we go back and make this situation clear to you first?" Master Ji Xuanyuan, let's talk about it?"

"We've only just reached the edge of Luanyu Mountain, and we're going back now, which means we haven't found any information." Zhao Ye said unwillingly, "At least, we have to go to the mountain to have a look and find out the reason for this situation, right?"

I listened to their argument, not rushing to a conclusion, just observing my surroundings intently.

I can't feel the magic energy, but if I look carefully, I can find something wrong.

Not only low-level demons, we didn't even find any living things for dozens of miles around Luanyu Mountain.Birds and beasts, birds, beasts, insects and fish, I can't hear any living sounds, and the whole Luanyu Mountain seems to have become a dead zone.

However, even in the dead zone, you should be able to see the corpse, right?

"Zhao Ye." I interrupted their discussion, and the three of them looked at me in unison. I didn't look back, and while paying attention to the movement around me, I said, "You three go back first, and tell Ji Xuanyuan what's going on here. It’s best for him to send a few priests from the Witch’s Hall over to have a look.”

"What about you?"

"I'll go in and have a look. What Zhao Ye said is right. We're here to investigate the situation. It's not easy to explain when we go back in such a desperate state."

"Are you alone?" Zhao Ye said disapprovingly.

"Otherwise?" I gave him a blank look, "It's easy for me to run alone, if you stay, will I still listen to you while I'm running?"

Zhao Ye: "...I warn you not to talk nonsense, than run away, who am I afraid of Zhao Ye?!"

I snorted: "Can you run faster than me? When you were a war slave, which time did you not run behind me?"

"...Do you only know how to escape?! Can't we fight?"

"Based on you?" I was even more contemptuous, and showed him our 1V1 winning ratio in front of his face.

Zhao Ye: "But you are... aren't you a woman? I'm a man, should a woman stand for me?!"

I was overwhelmed by pride, and put my hand on the waistband: "Who said I'm a woman? Oh, I took it out and it's bigger than you!"

Qi: "...Master Chang Ning, I don't think now is the time to do this."

One sentence awakened two people who were running towards the bottomless competition together.

"In short," I slammed on the brakes to stop the topic before I was harmonized, and scratched my hair a little irritably, "Hurry up and go back, I will chase after it in a day at most."

Seeing what Zhao Ye wanted to say, I quickly blocked his mouth with a dry food bag.

I put on my glove, hid the dagger in my wrist, and walked steadily deeper into Luanyu Mountain.

Let Zhao Ye and the others go back is not because of my personal heroism, it's just that the current Ranyu Mountain can tell at a glance that something is wrong.Even if all the living things are dead, at least the corpses should be visible, as it is now...even the corpses have been cleaned up.

The sky was low and iron gray. I walked towards the mountain step by step, and the surrounding was so quiet that I couldn't hear any sound, but the more peaceful it was, the more uneasy I felt.

The dagger in the palm of his hand gradually oozes sweat.When I heard the sharp wind in my ears, the dagger I had prepared earlier suddenly dropped, plunged into the thing's body, and pierced the rock with it.

The dagger was still trembling slightly, and the thing pierced through the body was still screaming piercingly. I took a closer look, and the thing looked a bit like a black loach, but it had a mouth full of fangs.

This is a low-level demon called parasitic demon. It has no fighting power, but as long as it comes into contact with a living person, it will desperately drill into the flesh and blood, control the person from the inside, and turn the living person into a walking dead.

There seemed to be very slight footsteps behind me. Before I could react, my body had already moved first.I grabbed the dagger pierced into the rock with one hand, turned around sharply using it as a fulcrum, and kicked the thing that was rushing from behind.At the same time, he punched out, and the blade embedded in the glove scraped a black bloodstain.

—Yes, black.I took half a step back and saw the thing that was sneaking up on me. It was a bluish-black humanoid creature with dull eyes, a long gash was cut on its face by a knife, and thick black liquid was dripping from it. But I didn't seem to notice it, and still rushed towards me like a zombie.

I rolled over on the spot, stretched out my left hand and hooked his back with the blade, and another loach-like thing screamed and was pulled out and stabbed to death by me.But this was far from over. As soon as I stood still, I fell silent looking at the darkness in front of me.

There are people, more animals, jackals, tigers, leopards, deer, snakes, and bears, all of which are similar to the thing just now without exception.

I took a deep breath.

That's right.

Why are there no dead bodies or living things here?Because of the large-scale invasion of parasitic demons, this place has completely turned into a dead place.

At this critical moment of life and death, a sense of pride suddenly arises in my heart.

——Look, if Zhao Ye and the others came with me, I might have three more corpses to deal with now.I am so wise and handsome!
