Wearing cannon fodder makes the master collapse

Chapter 229 [Western Territory] The Net of Heaven and Earth

After the meal, they inquired about some things about the Phoenix Palace, and the people here turned pale when they mentioned this, and the degree of panic was no less than that of the strange man who lived next door.

The Chiyan Ridge where Phoenix Palace is located straddles the Western Regions and Southern Borders. The mountains are so high that ordinary people are difficult to get close to, and they don't want to get close. It is rumored that there lives a murderous female devil who is ugly and gloomy. Moreover, the temperature on the mountains is extremely high, and sometimes flames can be seen leaping into the sky from a distance. It looks like a phoenix flying, but in fact there are only bones that have melted into the magma, and the devil's head is long. Not scary, just a little girl.

When the people here knew that they came to the western region to go to that place, they really persuaded them again and again. They said that there was a monster twice as tall as a human, surrendering to that place. Under the command of the female devil, she has done all kinds of evil things for her. As long as you meet him, you are almost out of the gate of hell.

After talking for a long time, these people actually heard only rumors, and there was no definite news to tell them. However, when they were about to leave to go there, a child stopped them, looking very timid. , but said firmly, "Don't go."

"Little friend, what's your name? Why did you tell us not to go?" Ye Lingjiang bent down a little to look at him. His face was dark, but his eyes were very bright.

"I, my name is Aniwar. It's terrible there. Atta died there. If you don't go, you will die too."

"Atta is your father"

The little boy nodded.

"Don't be surprised, his father went there a few years ago to pick some fire cloud grass, that herb only grows in that environment," the boss pulled the child back, touched his head, and sighed, "I was looking for that thing to treat his mother's illness. Unfortunately, his father failed to come back in the end, and his mother passed away."

Several people felt a little sad when they heard this, Ye Lingjiang squatted down, and said softly, "You don't have to worry, now the devil and the monster are not there, everything will be fine, I will come back to see you when the time comes, how about it?"

Aniwar suddenly looked like he was about to cry, and shook his head desperately, "Ata said, it's scary there, and there are many ghosts there."

Shen Mo frowned, "Since your father hasn't come back, how could he tell you this?"

"You guys don't know. If his father hadn't been sure that there was Fire Cloud Grass there, he would definitely not have gone there. It was because he had been there twice before and returned safely, so he would go there again."

"His father has been there once as a stranger and twice as an acquaintance, but why the third time?"

The little boy pulled Ye Lingjiang's clothes and motioned him to bow his head. Ye Lingjiang squatted down. The little boy whispered something in his ear, and he looked up at him in surprise.

"Son, don't talk nonsense to the guests. Don't take offense. He is just trying to persuade you because of the pain of losing his father and mother." The boss also seemed to love this child very much. Since then, boy, his personality has become much duller.

"Of course not. It seems that we still need to make preparations to go there. This guest room will be reserved for us for another day."

"Row."

They walked around the town, but they didn't understand what Ye Lingjiang wanted to do. After walking around for a long time, they didn't buy anything or go into any shops. After leaving him, he just said to go with him.

Ye Lingjiang led them from one end of the town to the other, and then went out of the west gate to the woods, but they walked around for a long time. When they saw the thatched hut, they suddenly understood something.

"Isn't this the place where the weirdo lives? You made such a big detour just to come here from another direction"

Feng Lianing said, "Don't worry, you might as well listen to what Ye Li said, he must have his intentions."

Ye Lingjiang: "Brother Feng still understands me. Of course I wouldn't come here for no reason. It was because the little boy told me something just now that I wanted to come here."

"What did you say"

"His father has been to Chiyan Ridge three times, but he returned safely the first two times, but have you ever thought that the first two times, it should not be because of his wife's illness to collect medicine, but because of something there The rumors about it started decades ago, if it wasn’t for other necessary possibilities, I wouldn’t take my life and go there.”

"That's true, but what does it have to do with this weirdo? Could it be because of him?"

Ye Lingjiang: "No, it's not for him, but it has a lot to do with him. This person has lived here for less than a year. Although he has always been a little weird, the people here are warm and hospitable. Seeing that he is an outsider, Before he discovered his behavior, he would often come to help him at the beginning. Anivar's father was also one of them, and Anivar was also a kind child who would help his father. Children are always a little curious Sadly, after he went there, he found some strange bottles and jars in this man's hut. One day he accidentally knocked over one, and after smashing it, there were some scorpions that were not dead but were dying. At that time, he just felt that he had broken other people's things and was afraid of being blamed, so he packed them up and threw them into the woods outside. He thought that there were so many bottles and cans, that person would never be able to find them, but After that, the way he looked at his father and himself became very strange, but he couldn't explain why. Later, one day, his father suddenly said that he was going to Chiyan Ridge, but he didn't say why. During that time His father also became very weird, no matter how much his wife persuaded him, he would go there, as if he had received some order and could not disobey, but after he went and came back, he seemed to be unable to remember why he was going, and he did not know what to do What, I just thought it was okay to come back safely, and I didn’t think about it. But on the third time, Anival’s mother was ill, and he planned to go again, because he knew there were herbs that could save her life. It's normal to return to him, but the night before I left, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, I always seemed to be talking about the ghosts there, and told my son to take care of his mother in various ways, but I couldn't come back."

"Why does this sound so creepy? It's as if someone manipulated him the last two times. Wait, manipulate." Shen Mo suddenly looked at them.

"You think well, does this feel like Shen Ying's state?"

She was thinking silently, but she couldn't be sure, "I don't know, but Shen Ying looks more normal. She seems to be limited in behavior, but her mind is clear."

"Shen Ying is not in the Phoenix Palace, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be other life-threatening things there. This weird person may have something to do with that, so I just want to see what is going on. But coming directly will definitely cause trouble. Those people in the town were thinking wildly, so they decided to take a detour."

Feng Lianing looked worriedly at the inconspicuous thatched cottage in front of him, "According to what they said, this person may have some mind-blowing magic tricks that will make people lose their memory. You should be careful."

"Ah."

They slowly approached from the back of the hut, and could smell a strange smell coming from inside, as if they were refining something, but they looked in quietly through the window, and there was no one inside.

As Aniwar said, there are indeed many bottles and cans in different colors, piled up like mountains in four corners, and there is only one bed inside, and some simple decorations. For some reason, Ye Lingjiang thought of going with Chu Yunchuan the house I used to live in.

"No one, go in and have a look."

Mo Mo was petite, jumped in from the window, and then started to move the bottles. Before Ye Lingjiang had time to persuade him, he had already opened one.

They had no choice but to go in, and found that the hut was really small, but it was almost full of these things. Shen Mo suddenly exclaimed, and almost threw the things off his hands.

The few of them took a closer look, and suddenly a black, fluffy leg protruded from the bottle, it was thin and long, and after a while, several more protruded, which looked creepy.

is a spider

Mo Mo quickly put the bottle on the table, and the spider began to crawl out, it was the size of a palm, and there were some colorful dots all over its body, it looked extremely poisonous.

He quickly sealed it with ice.

However, the spider in the ice seemed to be still rolling a few pairs of eyes, as if looking at them.

Thinking that there are so many bottles and jars filled with such things, several people felt a little apprehensive. Even ordinary Gu refining monks don’t need so many, and if all the poisonous insects here are released, all the villages and towns in this area will be terrified. It can be overturned in an instant, and the owner here is probably not just a "weird".

"Leave quickly, if that person comes back, it will be bad."

They all agreed with what Shen Mo said, and hurriedly prepared to go outside.

"who are you"

Walking to the door, there was already a person standing there outside, who seemed to have been watching for a long time, and when he saw them, he asked slowly.

Judging by the way this person is dressed, it is very likely that he is the person they said.

"We, we are just passing by. We are from other places. If we accidentally disturb you, we will leave now." Ye Lingjiang wanted to use these words to fool him, but suddenly, the way in front of him was blocked, and a huge spider web stuck to the door Above, a spider crawled from the outside.

"Be careful, it's poisonous." Feng Lianing immediately identified the toxins in the spider web, and a casual touch would probably corrode the flesh.

When they looked back, the window had already been woven.

The man looked at them, no, to be precise, he was looking at the frozen spider behind them.

"You bully my babies, then give them dinner."
