Chapter 181: Two cultivators spread lies
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous! It scared me to death! How could such a terrifying thing appear beside you?"
"I didn't know that this thing would appear in the southeast. If I knew it in advance, I would not leave the city if I was killed."
Hearing the conversation outside the house, Ming Zong put down his cloth bag, walked quietly to the window, and listened with his ears.
The two practitioners were out of breath, and seemed to be desperately fleeing back.
"It's terrible, it's really terrible. Our strength is useless when we hit it, and our weapons can't penetrate it."
"Yeah, my sword breaks when I stab it, just like stabbing it on a fine steel pier. And it's ridiculously big, bigger than the house, and it can only stab the leg when I lift it up."
"Hey, have you noticed that where the thing's feet step on, the sand will change to the color of its body."
"Of course I noticed that the strength we punched seemed to add fuel to the fire. The more we hit that thing, the stronger it became."
"Yeah, everything will be assimilated by it, where did this come from. Fortunately, this thing is not very intelligent, your and my blindness will work."
"Maybe it's a monster. I heard a disciple from a big sect say that the monster is very powerful and has the ability to erode and assimilate."
"Really? There is such a scary thing? I hope this thing will not come to the deserted city, or there will be bad luck here."
Ming Zong listened and thought about it, the two cultivators encountered a terrifying creature, and it was very powerful.
Judging from the situation described by the two, this creature really looks like a monster. In the records of Qianyunzong, it is also written that the monster has the ability to erode and assimilate.
Yunxiu has not heard of monsters appearing for hundreds of years, and Ming Zong has never seen them, but all major sects of Yunxiu have records about monsters, so it should be true.
Every time a monster appears, people will be devastated and corpses will be scattered all over the field, which is a huge disaster.
He couldn't help being a little worried about Zheng Qiu's safety, and he said to himself, hoping that the Liesha treasure hunting team also in the southeast would not encounter any monsters.
He walked out of the house, looked around, and found two people leaning against the wall of the next house.
The two wore tattered robes, with sand all over their faces, hair, hands, and clothes, and they looked like they had indeed gone through a battle.
Ming Zong walked over and asked, "Did you really encounter a monster?"
One of the cultivators was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ming Zong to come out of the room, and he took the initiative to ask.
Another practitioner reacted quickly, and answered: "We don't know if it's strange, anyway, that thing is very powerful. Anyway... hey, you won't believe it if I tell you."
The first practitioner immediately echoed: "Yes, this thing is so rare, who has seen such a thing! No one will believe it."
Ming Zong thought for a while, and asked from a different angle: "Is that thing particularly big and has a special color on it?
Everything in contact with it will slowly turn into a similar color? And some incredible means of attack? "
The two practitioners were not sure if Ming Zong was trying to test it, so they came up with an ambiguous answer: "Old man, what you said is a bit similar, it does have a special color.
As for the means of attack, we don't even have time to escape, so we don't have the time to stop and study. "
"Yeah, it's too late to escape, if you want to know,
Why not get out of town and see for yourself. A piece of advice, don't get close, and remember to bring something that can be used to deceive the eye. "
After finishing speaking, the two practitioners supported each other, panting heavily, walked to the street, and slowly disappeared among the pedestrians.
Are they telling the truth?
Ming Zong hesitated, because he had never seen this kind of thing before, and wondered if the Liesha Treasure Hunting Team had so many Qi Brilliance Realms, and two Qi Brilliant Realms, could resist it.
Besides, these are just one-sided words of two cultivators, and they cannot be taken seriously. The cultivation base of these two people should not be high, and maybe they just encountered other ferocious beasts.
After thinking about it, he went back to the stone house, put on his cloth bag, and walked towards the market, deciding to listen to other people's news.
In a low house not far from the stone house, two practitioners wiped the yellow sand from their faces and bowed to the person in front of them.
He said in his mouth: "My lord, we have followed your orders and let the old man in the stone house hear what you said.
It's just that an accident happened during the process, and the old man came out and asked us some questions. "
The adult in front of them was wearing a gray-yellow robe, covered his face with a turban, and had the word "Ling" embroidered in bright red on his chest. He was Lin Zou, the confidant of the city lord, who was in charge of the order.
Lin Zou frowned when he heard the two people's answers: "What, he asked you a question? How did you answer it?"
The two of them repeated what they said to Ming Zong.
After hearing this, Lin Zou nodded slightly: "That's right, your answers are very clever, and this kind of vague answer is the best."
After a while, a man ran in from outside the house. As soon as the man came in, he bowed and stood in front of Lin Zou, lowering his head and reporting: "My lord, that old man has gone to the market, which is the market in the west of the city."
Lin Zou waved his hand: "Okay, hurry back and continue monitoring."
When the man left, panic expressions appeared on the faces of the two practitioners.
One of them stammered and said: "My... my lord, we will follow... according to your instructions, don't... don't say anything else, the old man... he doesn't go out of the city, it really doesn't matter... It's none of our business."
Lin Zou's voice was flat and did not show any anger: "As expected, this old man is thoughtful, and the words of the two of you alone cannot convince him."
He took out a few heaven and earth crystals and threw them to the two practitioners: "It's none of your business from now on, remember, never contact anyone from the Liesha Treasure Hunting Team, or you will disappear in the wilderness."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The two nodded like chickens pecking at rice, took the Tiandijing and left the room backwards.
When the two left, Lin Zou also walked out of the house, but he did not go to the market to monitor Ming Zong, nor did he go to the palace of the city lord, but walked around several streets and entered a low house.
In the low room, eight practitioners were waiting. When they saw Lin Zou coming in, they immediately stood up from their seats and bowed to salute.
"My lord! My lord! I have seen my lord! I have seen my lord..."
Lin Zou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "You should remember what I said. Now I want you to spread the news in the city and try to let everyone in the streets and alleys know about it."
Then he pulled a roll of paper out of his robe and opened it up for the eight people in the room to see.
"See clearly, this is what the creatures in your mouths look like. Everyone's description must be consistent. If anyone makes a mistake, you can weigh the consequences yourself."
On the paper was drawn a strange looking thing that looked like a khaki bull.
But this bull's skin was like a rock, with eight twisted legs growing under it, and two large knives on its head where the horns should have been.
At the same time, the back of the bull is covered with long thorns, which bend like tentacles.
