Chapter 61: Take action next time
"You just need to show me how evil spirits are encircled and suppressed first." Li Shou followed Yuan Yifa's joke and said a few words, and then the two of them set off.
They first went to the county government office to meet up with the people from Group A. After everyone arrived, before it was completely dark, a group of fifteen people arrived at the largest granary in the inner city.
This granary is not small in size and is a very large courtyard overall.
There are many warehouses in the courtyard, which are full of grain.
"On weekdays, only half of the granaries here are full, but now they are almost full." After arriving here, Yuan Yifa looked at the warehouse and sighed.
"Why?"
"Because there is a famine outside now."
"So the warehouse is full of food?"
"Yes, in normal harvest years, food is everywhere, and it is easy to harvest it. Naturally, the dignitaries in the inner city are not in a hurry. Now that famine has been going on for several years, food is in short supply, and the dignitaries are afraid that they will not be able to harvest food. If you starve yourself, you have to reserve more."
"Furthermore, food is expensive now. In the past, food was food, but now with food comes power. You are too young to truly understand this..."
Yuan Yifa seems to be a sentimental old man, "The more famine the years are, the more abundant the food in the inner city will be!"
"Huh..." Looking at these grains, Li Shou felt inexplicably depressed. He didn't know how many innocent souls were hidden in this grain.
But he didn't say much.
The task he performed itself was to destroy this strange social operating mechanism.
He was quite happy to do this.
"It's getting dark, everyone should gather together and don't spread out, you know?" After arriving at the granary, the leader of the Seven Kills Sect directly took over the command, "Don't think too much, everyone, the evil spirits will only Acting according to the instinct of revenge, we are the only ones in this granary now. It will definitely appear when it gets dark. As long as we don’t scatter, there is nothing it can do. From now on, internal emergencies will be solved on the spot!"
"Yes!" The three disciples of the Seven Kills Sect responded to him.
Li Shou and others remained silent.
However, everyone was very conscious and did not leave alone.
The sky slowly turned completely dark.
A group of people gathered at the door of a warehouse, waiting in the open space for the evil spirits to come.
An hour has passed...
Two hours have passed...
Three hours have passed...
Even a martial artist cannot maintain his concentration for several hours during such a long wait.
Just as midnight was approaching and someone was just relaxing, Li Shou suddenly heard a scream.
"Ah..." A man's chest was pierced by a pair of bloody hands. Looking through the moonlight, Li Shou saw that the bloody hands came from the shadow behind him.
"The evil spirit is coming!"
"Accept the challenge!"
The first one to rush forward was the injured martial artist's companion. He picked up his sword and stabbed the shadow.
But as soon as the sword light arrived, the sword was interrupted, and the next second, others were also rushed away by a blast of cold air.
At this time, the martial artist who was attacked in the beginning had already fallen to the ground and died.
After one round, one died and the other was injured. It seemed that the extermination team had suffered a loss, but in fact the evil spirit had been surrounded.
"Everyone, be more conservative and deal with the enemy first!" the leader of the Seven Kills Sect gave the order.
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders, and everyone present was very precious about their lives.
In the first round of the fight just now, they had already discovered that this evil spirit was extremely lethal and had the ability to kill martial artists instantly.
Therefore, if everyone has long-range attack methods, they can use long-range attack methods to harass them. If not, they can dodge and rely on the numerical advantage to deal with them.
Anyway, if you don't get close, don't get close. Just like a pack of wolves fighting a brown bear, you and I are attracting the attention of evil spirits.
And every time the evil spirit rushes toward a person like crazy, the master of the Seven Kills Sect, a great martial artist, will appear and block its killing path.
This battle is more like a hunt than a battle.
Jungle hunting.
In the open space, everyone is consuming evil spirits...
And at the outermost edge, Li Shou kept holding Yuan Yifa.
"Don't take action first, don't be hostile to evil spirits."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't worry about it. You can't attract resentment." Li Shou wanted to protect both Aunt Hua and his master, so he could only use this method.
The hunt continues...
After a long battle, there will definitely be an opportunity!
In the process of consumption, several martial artists using strange weapons used chains and flywheels to block the evil spirit's route of action.
The leader of the Seven Kills Sect was worthy of being a great martial artist. He caught Xie Sui's fleeting pause and flew up, pouring his inner energy into the short blade in his hand. With a flash of cold light in the air, he chopped off Xie Sui's head.
After the evil head fell, he was not completely dead and still wanted to fight back.
As the leader of the Seven Kills Sect continued to slash, the evil spirit turned into a puff of blue smoke.
However, after the "death" of the evil spirit, no martial artist relaxed his vigilance.
Everyone knows that the most difficult thing about evil spirits is that they can come back from the dead, and they have to be killed many times before they can be completely eliminated.
‘Aunt Hua is not as powerful as expected.’ After the first battle, Li Shou assessed Aunt Hua’s fighting ability.
Aunt Hua's fighting ability is similar to the boss he fought at the end of "Slaughterhouse".
The only thing better than it is that the boss dies after killing it once, while Aunt Hua has to be killed many times.
"Why didn't you take action just now?" While Li Shou was still assessing the combat effectiveness of both sides, the red-eyed man suddenly came to him and asked Li Shou loudly.
"Master, I just saw the whole battle. This guy didn't take any action, he just watched the battle from the side!"
"Snitch on me?" Li Shou didn't expect that before he could take revenge, the boy with red eyes would take the lead and bite him.
"I saw it." The leader of the Seven Kills Sect walked slowly over while alerting the surroundings.
First, he did see that Li Shou didn't take action just now.
Secondly, it is to establish prestige for oneself and at the same time give a step up to the newly accepted disciples.
With a three-pronged approach, he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Why don't you take action to deal with the evil spirit? Do you care about your life?"
"I rely on boxing to fight hand-to-hand. It's better to use long weapons to deal with evil spirits like this. It's better for me to protect others by their side." Li Shou made up a nonsense reason.
But the other party obviously didn't buy it.
"You won't participate in the battle if you fight with bare hands? If you risk your life next time, I will leave you alone."
"How qualified are you, an outsider, to take care of our Xuanxue Sect's affairs?" Yuan Yifa couldn't stand hearing this. "You just came to Tongkang and you want to sit on top of our Xuanxue Sect and shit?"
"Hmph! Killing evil spirits is the business of all of us in Tongkang County, not your Xuanxue Sect's own business. If you don't take action when you come, you are treating other people's lives as a trifling matter, so you can take care of it yourself!"
The leader of the Seven Kills Sect very cleverly bound himself to others.
Moreover, the Xuanxue Sect's failure to take action was seen by everyone, and it naturally aroused dissatisfaction among others.
Li Shou looked at the people around him who were ready to move, and could only say: "Don't worry, I will definitely take action next time!"
As he finished speaking, a gust of evil wind suddenly came out of the granary. The evil wind blew in front of the leader of the Seven Kills Sect, and an evil spirit dressed in blood appeared.
"Master of the Seven Kills Sect, I'm here to help you!" Li Shou saw Aunt Hua appear and rushed towards the Master of the Seven Kills Sect from the other side.
On the surface, he was going to help, but in fact, he and Aunt Hua formed a pincer attack in tandem.
