Chapter 634 Swallowed Whole
Since a large group of Jianghu people left, the huge inn immediately returned to purity.
Although southern Xinjiang produces high-quality medicinal materials and delicacies, the output is too low. The merchants who come to eat this bowl of rice will soon be saturated, and in fact there are not many people.
Therefore, after the Jianghu people left, there were still many empty rooms in the inn after receiving another group of merchants.
The Southern Xinjiang people in Fenghuang Village always have an expression of 'I won't say anything, I'll just watch' when it comes to what happens in the inn.
Their relationship with the Central Plains people is very delicate.
On the one hand, doing business with the Central Plains people has indeed greatly improved the living standards of his wife and children, but on the other hand, they are still wary and hostile to the Central Plains people, always feeling that they have no good intentions.
Isn't this a coincidence? The same goes for the Central Plains people. Even the old businessmen who have cooperated with Phoenix Village for many years are cautious every time they come here, for fear of getting into some fatal trouble.
The environment is like this. To be honest, it's not a very safe place, but at least it's more comfortable than being in the wild.
Ever since she learned about Ning Xianer's loss, Yang Yiyi acted like she had ADHD. She would pace around the room when she had nothing to do, or run to the door of the inn and look around, as if she hoped to see Ning Xianer come in the next moment. of.
Qin Yan is almost the same. These two people fully explain what it means to be as quiet as a virgin and as active as a madman...
Wu Shaoyi was relatively calm. Most of the time, she just pushed her wheelchair for a walk, or played the flute and piano in front of the inn. Even many people from southern Xinjiang were attracted by the beautiful music and gathered around to enjoy it.
Although I arrived at Phoenix Village early in the morning, I basically didn’t do anything for the whole day and it just passed by.
The night in the village is much earlier than in the city. It seems that people in southern Xinjiang don't have much nightlife. They basically rest after eating.
Of course, Yang Yiyi was not in the mood to celebrate. The three of them had dinner with the heroes of the Sixteenth Village and then went back to their rooms.
This should have been an extremely normal night, but as the moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, things became a little unusual.
Someone took advantage of the darkness to quietly pry open the gate of Fenghuang Village and let a large number of people in dark clothes in. However, the gatekeeper turned a blind eye and sometimes even nodded in a friendly manner.
The group of people passed through the gate and headed straight for the inn closest to the gate.
And speaking of strange, the Phoenix Village seemed to know that someone was about to attack. A large number of people armed with swords or bamboo spears immediately appeared around the inn, and the two sides quickly fought.
And all this did not seem to wake up the people resting in the inn.
Especially Yang Yiyi, her sleep quality was so enviable that even though there was only a wall between her and the sky was dark, she didn't notice anything.
There was a pop, accompanied by screams, and a handful of blood was sprinkled on the window paper outside Yang Yiyi's room. Then a masked man walked in the door, shaking off the blood on the hatchet.
He was obviously very purposeful, as if he knew in advance which room was empty and which room was occupied. He didn't even forget to close the door gently after entering, and approached the bed in the dark without hesitation.
At this time, the moon slightly revealed its hazy light from behind the dark clouds, illuminating the sharp edge of the hatchet. It could be said that the knife was already hanging on Yang Yiyi's neck. As long as he chopped hard, his head would fall to the ground on the spot.
But at this moment, a light suddenly flashed under Yang Yiyi's neck.
The masked man didn’t know why, but he had already reached this point, could he still wait?
So he immediately cut it off with a knife.
It's just that before this knife hit Yang Yiyi, it hit something translucent, which was quite hard. The hatchet that was struck with all its strength almost broke due to this, and the force of the blowback also made the masked man hit him on the spot. The numbness doesn’t stop.
A faintly glowing shadow slowly appeared from the air. Its appearance was strange. Its upper body was a human, its lower body was a snake, and its head was more like a lizard. It seemed to be entangled in Yang Yiyi's body and opened towards the masked man. He spat out the letter loudly.
No normal person has ever seen such a valuable thing. The masked man's pupils dilated in fear on the spot, his hand shook, and the hatchet fell to the ground with a clang. "Strange……!"
Before he could shout out, the transparent monster shadow that was entrenched on Yang Yiyi suddenly pounced on him. The latter didn't even say a word and was swallowed directly by it, and his screams were completely muffled. .
It is strange to say that it is obviously a translucent shadow, but after swallowing a large living person, it actually burped. At this time, you can even see the outline of a humanoid struggling in the belly of the snake.
Swinging the waist of a standard water snake, the shadow returned to Yang Yiyi, as light and weightless as before, and immediately became invisible again, as if it had turned into a ball of air and disappeared.
The necklace around Yang Yiyi's neck also dimmed, waiting for the next unlucky guy to appear.
Naga Guardian, this is the name of the pendant.
This is a perfect magic item. To put it simply, Yang Yiyi hung a large manor with its own butler and maid around her neck without knowing it.
Its effect is simple. An incorporeal ghost naga will protect the wearer.
Ghost Naga is not a very powerful monster. It is generally only level 30. Apart from the sneak attack ability and poison, which need to be careful, as long as it is an elite adventure team, it will not be difficult.
It is not an undead creature, but its body looks translucent like a ghost, so it is called a ghost naga.
But this ghost naga is different from the ordinary ghost naga. It is a spirit created and captured by magic.
From a classification point of view, it has a certain relationship with undead creatures, but it does not rely on negative energy to act.
As for the actual combat power, this ghost naga is at level 40. Because it is a spirit, your physical attacks are completely useless to it. Magic attacks are somewhat effective, but will also be greatly weakened, and it can use its virtual The ability of the body to directly bypass your defense and attack the body.
It's equivalent to basic attacks being able to ignore armor.
Let's put it this way, even Rhaena's white dragon would feel a headache when encountering this ghost naga.
In addition to the automatic attack capability, it can also be converted into a shield to protect the wearer. The best part is that all of this is fully automatic.
No magical activation is required, and no command is required from the wearer.
According to Aldai, this thing is still a very famous magic item. It is said that there was once a guardian Naga who made an agreement with a mortal and would protect him in the dark until he died of natural old age. However, this person was killed by a Naga. Negligence and sudden death. So this naga begged one of his mage friends to turn it into a pendant.
This is a punishment for not fulfilling the oath, and it is also a piety for the belief of protecting someone.
If I have to say there is any shortcoming of this thing, it is that it cannot activate independently.
There is one condition for it to be effective, and that is when the wearer is unconscious.
For example, when you are comatose or asleep, only in this state and someone approaches with malicious intent will the ghost Naga appear. Otherwise, it will just appear as a delicate-looking platinum pendant.
Li Chengqi gave Yang Yiyi this thing, and his intention was very obvious, that is, he was worried about her being active in the wild.
Normally, he can't fight but can run away. If he is attacked while sleeping, there is really no excuse. After all, Li Chengqi can't keep an eye on him 24 hours a day.
Of course, Yang Yiyi herself was still clueless about what happened, and even turned over.
He didn't notice at all the screams outside the house, the sound of weapons clashing, and the blood splattered on the window paper of his room...
