Chapter 123 Bloody Array
The journey to capture the county magistrate Lin Zhongwen was extremely smooth.
Wei Fang and Yu Gong rushed into the magistrate's mansion.
Almost no large-scale resistance was encountered. After discovering the strength of the two, all the servants and servants immediately dispersed.
The body-protecting purple energy on Lin Zhongwen, the county magistrate, was also very meager.
It was not even as good as the official support of the previous county magistrate, and he was easily subdued by Wei Fang and the other two.
Wei Fang pulled out the evil knife and put it on his neck and said:
"The official seal is there, hand over the official seal to spare your life!"
Lin Zhongwen saw this. , was so frightened that he peed his pants, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy:
"You two gentlemen, you can do whatever you want, and I will cooperate with you!"
"This official seal is not on me, it has been taken away by that group of monsters a long time ago!"
"What! You gave them the county seal!?" Wei Fang heard this and kicked the opponent's chest and shouted :
"Which force are you from? Why do you want to help the tyrants and collude with those monsters!"
Lin Zhongwen made a bitter look on his face and begged again and again:
"I really don't know anything and I have nothing to do with them."
"They forced me to hand over the big seal and told me not to do anything, so I didn't interfere in anything and didn't do any bad things!"
Wei Fang was also a headhunter after all. The official who was lying on the corpse was extremely angry. Even though the other party had cooperated as much as possible, this scene actually aroused Wei Fang's anger:
"You are a timid official, but you have put the people of the county at risk." In the midst of fire and water, life is at risk!"
But these words hit Lin Zhongwen's pain point somewhere.
Lin Zhongwen Huang La’s face turned red, and he argued unconvinced:
"What can I do? How many states and counties in the world can stay out of it?"
"No matter how hard I try and block the way of those monsters, I will be nothing but a skeleton in the near future. Remember me!"
"Although I compromised with the monster, I was able to ensure that the people of the county lived in peace for the past few years!"
Afterwards, according to Lin Zhongwen, he At the beginning, he was indeed very ambitious and worked hard to be a good official.
At that time, he was upright and awe-inspiring in his heart. In addition, he had done a lot of practical things when he first arrived, which gave him a good official reputation and a high reputation among the people.
As a result, his official luck was extremely strong, and he could be said to be immune to all evils and avoid thousands of demons.
But later, the wealthy businessmen supported by those monsters came to corrupt him deliberately.
After talking about this, Lin Zhongwen put away his timidity, and instead seemed a little proud and excited.
"As long as a person lives, the grass and trees will fall."
"I have lived as the magistrate of Tianhu County for these eight years, and I have lived my life in vain."
Although he was attracted by those wealthy businessmen to enjoy themselves as much as he wanted, with endless wine, meat and beauty, Lin Zhongwen was not ashamed at this time, but rather proud of it.
"You must have never sprinkled gold into the river."
"Huh?"
When asked by Lin Zhongwen, Wei Fang was also confused. No idea.
I even thought I heard something wrong and sprinkled...gold into the river?
"They spent a lot of money to win me over!"
"I was invited by them to watch the tide, and they brought a whole pot of gold leaves."
"Let me welcome it. The tide is spreading, and what you see is the silver waves floating in the air.”
Wei Fang was also dizzy after hearing such a scene.
No wonder Lin Zhongwen, who was originally diligent and caring for the people, was wooed and corrupted in a short period of time.
He has degenerated to the point where he now only knows how to enjoy himself, handing over all the people and power of the county to others, and obediently being his own puppet.
With such a wooing effort, if other officials from the imperial court were to come over, they would probably be pulled down as well.
"Who among you can emerge from the mire without being stained?"
"In this life, I am worth it, hahahaha..."
Looking at Lin Zhongwen laughed so hard that he seemed to be crazy.
Wei Fang also understood that there was nothing to talk about with him.
Since he doesn’t understand anything, he should be taken to a dangerous place first and wait for the matter to come to an end before considering how to deal with him.
Although he did not win the official seal, the journey to capture the county magistrate Lin Zhongwen was very smooth.
But the one who went to arrest the county magistrate Zhu Lou did not go so smoothly.
As soon as the Evil Corpses broke into Zhu Mansion, they were attacked by a group of zombies of unknown origin.
The opponents are all emotionless zombies, with infinite strength and iron bones.
More than a dozen walking corpses surrounded a huge coffin in the center, and began to attack the evil corpses like troops forming a formation.
And the evil corpse happened to bring ten soldier corpses with him.
So in Zhu Mansion, two living corpses made by various methods began a bloody battle.
Because neither side was in pain, and both sides had extremely amazing defense capabilities, they suddenly fell into a stalemate, with no one able to do anything to the other.
The means to truly restrain living corpses are equally effective for both parties.
So no one prepared these methods in advance and had to use the most basic methods to fight each other.
But if we continue to delay like this, it will be very bad if the city's defenders come to help, or if Zhu Lou and his party are frightened away.
Therefore, the evil corpse transformed by the old man of the Song family directly bypassed the defense outside the courtyard under Xu Ke's control.
After rushing into the courtyard, he saw Zhu Lou who was preparing to organize a defense in the courtyard.
At this time, a clay figure appeared next to the evil corpse, which was transformed into a thousand-faced clay figure. I saw him shouting towards Zhu Lou:
“Give up the resistance, I can spare your life.”
“Otherwise we will have to eradicate it! "
Zhu Lou didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers shot bows and arrows at the corpse at the same time.
But obviously, the evil corpse is no longer afraid of these mortal soldiers.
He rushed to Zhu Lou's side with a volley of bows and crossbows, and grabbed Zhu Lou's throat.
The rest of the soldiers looked at the noisy zombie battle outside, and then saw the terrifying zombie appearance of the evil corpse, which was not afraid of swords, bows and crossbows.
In addition, Zhu Lou was captured directly, and people's hearts were immediately in chaos, and they dispersed like birds and beasts.
“Now you can tell me everything you know!”
Seeing Zhu Lou being captured alive, Ni Qianmian hurriedly asked:
"Who instigated you, who is the person behind you!"
"Instigated?"
When Zhu Lou heard this, even though his neck was strangled, he still couldn't help but sneer:
"It's just a transaction, why do you say it so unpleasantly?"
"We just packaged Tianhu County and sold it at a good price. As for who the buyer is, we are not interested in asking more."
Finally asked the real owner, Ni Qianmian followed Xu Ke's instructions and continued Forced to ask:
"What kind of deal, what did you exchange Tianhu County for!"
"The lives of people in a county are exchanged for me to escape from the lowly status of human and animal. In exchange for a The road to eternal life!”
I haven’t realized what Zhu Lou’s words meant.
I saw several crimson light pillars rising into the sky from all directions in Tianhu County.
A barrier without a single gap was immediately formed, wrapping the entire Tianhu County within it.
A feeling of suffocation instantly surged into my heart, and all living creatures in the entire Tianhu County felt an extremely powerful suction coming.
It seems as if something is being continuously extracted from me, my spirit is sluggish, and my body has become extremely weak.
It felt like I had stayed up all night for two consecutive nights and been hungry for two or three whole days.
My whole body was sore and I had no strength, so I could only fall to the ground and wail in pain.
The condition of some practitioners and evil spirits seems to be better, and they can still retain the ability to move freely.
But they all looked extremely ugly and their condition was greatly affected.
The more you move, the less you can resist the suction that extracts the essence.
“Your troubles have indeed delayed the implementation of the plan, but even an incomplete formation is enough to completely refine the entire Tianhu County.”
At this time, Zhu Lou saw that the formation had been activated by the person behind the scenes, and stopped pretending.
The human skin on his body suddenly burst open, revealing a ferocious crimson monster inside that looked like a beast or a demon. It turned out that Zhu Lou had already transformed himself into a rational evil creature without knowing when. things.
Sha Zhi was caught off guard and was slapped away by the monster, hitting the wall heavily.
"You came at the right time. Since I transformed into a noble evil species, I have never had the chance to try this new body."
Zhu Lou's voice has changed greatly. The change is not as gentle as jade and full of magnetism as before.
Instead, it became extremely sharp, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female. It was as harsh as scratching the wall with nails.
Through Ni Qianmian, Xu Ke also noticed the changes in the battle situation outside.
The area near the east of the city is still intact and has its own protection, but the effect of the large array that absorbs essence has been greatly weakened.
But the people in the other three directions, under such a large formation, may not be able to survive for an hour before they are completely refined into a pool of flesh and blood and become other people's tonics.
Now the people in the entire city are in a coma.
Only some scattered evil creatures realized that their lives were threatened and entered the riot.
“We can’t delay it any longer. You two go to Zhu Lou to help the evil spirits.”
Xu Ke discovered through Ni Qianmian that Zhu Lou abandoned his human identity and became a All kinds of mutated evil creatures with mixed bloodlines.
Although it looks ugly, its strength is truly extraordinary.
He actually possesses the strength of the Fourth Realm, and even the condition of the evil corpse is affected by the influence of the red blood formation in the sky.
As a result, Sha Zhi suffered a secret loss in the initial duel, and there were faint signs of losing ground.
After the evil corpse was knocked away, although smoke and dust were everywhere, it did not suffer any injuries.
With a roar, he rushed towards Zhu Lou on the opposite side.
The biggest difference between pure evil things and Zhu Lou is that they do not have human emotions and weaknesses.
Not afraid of injury, bleeding and death.
Therefore, even if he was knocked out and was obviously at a disadvantage, he would still attack Zhu Lou desperately with the attitude of dying together.
Although Zhu Lou was not affected by the crimson blood formation and was vaguely superior to the evil corpse in terms of overall strength, he was still timid and lacked combat experience.
The battle with the evil corpse was even for a while, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Zhu Lou wanted to retreat several times and wanted to escape, but the evil corpse tried his best to hold on to him, and finally stopped him in the county magistrate's house.
But Xu Ke understood that even though Zhu Lou was so arrogant.
But since he turned into an evil creature, the entire Tianhu County has been sold by him.
The person who really controls this blood refining formation is probably someone else.
Xu Ke can only hope that Li Si'an can successfully destroy the core of the blood array and thwart their conspiracy.
