The host kills the Quartet

Leaving aside the priests, Zhou Yan and Miao Wu still enjoyed the excitement of the temple fair.However, the temple fair was very long, and they didn't intend to stay until the end. After having fun on the most lively first day, Zhou Yan and Miao Wu felt that it was almost over.To buy tickets tomorrow, it would be nice to arrive at the Imperial Capital early.

The night market at the temple fair is also very late, and there are still many stalls that continue to operate in the early morning.Anyway, some people are taking turns looking at the stalls, so there is no big problem.After shopping until he couldn't eat anymore, and bought a lot of things, Zhou Yan had to consider going back to rest even if he was reluctant.It doesn't matter to Miao Wu, anyway, he follows his wife and eats some tofu.

Looking at the manual, Zhou Yan decided to follow the road of vendors setting up stalls to the end, and soon fell to the suburban location.This place is different from the seaside before, it is basically small shops.Some are still open, some are closed, and they all seem to be local stores.Because the place next to the temple fair is very close, there is no special place to go there.Anyway, there will always be people coming.They were not in a hurry.

After eating some sweet wine, Zhou Yan's head was a little drowsy. He leaned on Miao Wu's body half limp, as if he had no bones: "Miao Miao, I'm drunk."

Miao Wu supported Zhou Yan's waist with one hand, his eyes were deep: "How about I carry you back directly?"

"I want to see the stars."

Miao Wu looked at Xingyue, which was covered by large black clouds, and began to think about whether there was any way to dispel these unsightly clouds.

Half playing tricks and half acting coquettishly, the two bumped into each other and went further and further, until they didn't know where they were.As the dark clouds thickened, the surrounding light also became darker and darker. I don't know if it was because of the proximity to the sea, the fog also came up, and the surrounding scenery became less real.

"Miao Miao, there seems to be something wrong." Zhou Yan naturally sobered up when something happened.He looked around and slowly stood up straight: "What do you feel?" The breath detected was very strong, but not very aggressive.

Miao Wu frowned and said, "It's so strong. There's a big monster nearby."

Although the current basic situation is that humans and monsters coexist peacefully, neither Zhou Yan nor Miao Wu naively thought that there was no conflict between monsters and humans.Just as there are scum among humans, there are certainly dangers among monsters.The big monster that appeared here at this time probably had other purposes.

"Why don't you go back first?" Zhou Yan was not interested in doing anything to the monster.In fact, because there are many monsters among the friends he met before, Zhou Yan is still more inclined to these creatures psychologically.Therefore, he didn't want to confront these monsters if it wasn't necessary.Who knows what they're doing now, maybe it's just a Yokai tradition or hobby.

Miao Wu nodded: "Then go back. The two of us together..."

Before the ambiguous words were finished, the cat beauty closed her mouth.Because a child's cry came from a distance.Vaguely, it sounds very sad.

Is it a child?Zhou Yan and Miao Wu looked at each other.If it's just a monster, they won't intervene.But if the child's crying in the middle of the night is just let go, it is really not in line with their principles of doing things.What's more, whether it's Zhou Yan or Miao Wu, they don't pay attention to ordinary monsters.Therefore, relying on the boldness of the talented people, the two thought it would be better to go and have a look.Otherwise, if there is any news about a child being killed the next day, it will be too late to regret.

Following the sound of crying, Zhou Yan dragged Miao Wu along the way.The thicker the fog, the thicker the evil spirit will be.Zhou Yan directly turned on the detection, and the system clearly presented the surrounding scenery in front of his eyes in the form of ultrasonic waves.Sure enough, there was a small figure sitting on the ground not far ahead.

As they gradually approached, Zhou Yan finally saw clearly that the one sitting on the ground was a little girl.About seven or eight years old, wearing a red plaid suspender skirt, a white shirt, double ponytails, white high socks and red leather shoes.Although her body is dirty, it can be seen from her attire that her family background is very good.

The little girl was sitting on a pool of transparent things, soft and still wriggling.There were scars on both her knees, probably from bumping into something.The little girl was just sitting there crying, her voice was weak and intermittent.

Zhou Yan stopped a few meters away from the opponent.He knelt down, slowly took out a bean paste bun and put it in his hand: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

The little girl stopped crying and looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously.Probably crying hard, following the gurgling sound from her stomach, she took the bean paste bun in Zhou Yan's hand carefully without restraint, and bit into it bit by bit.Judging from her eating appearance, this little girl's tutor is very good.

"Eat slowly, there is water here." Zhou Yan took out another bottle of orange juice and handed it to the little girl: "Don't choke."

The little girl was welcome to take it and ate and drank.After eating a steamed stuffed bun, the originally decadent little expression became more energetic, at least it didn't look as pitiful as it was at the beginning.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Yan, and this is Miao Wu." Zhou Yan introduced himself first: "We are attending the temple fair."

"Tingting." The little girl paused and added: "I also went to the temple fair. But grandpa lost..."

Looks like it just got separated.This is easy to handle, Zhou Yan thought for a while: "Where do you live? Do you want me to take you back?"

Although the little girl is small, her brain is still very clear.She took out a card from her pocket, Zhou Yan took it and saw that it was the name card of the hotel where she was staying.Now it's easy to handle, and I will send someone there on the way back.It can be regarded as a little effort.

"I live here too, would you like to come with us?" Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, waiting for the little girl's reply, "You can't stay here forever, or you'll catch a cold if it's later." Zhou Yan is not interested in eating monsters or anything scare little girls.At least until now, the monster fog here is very thick, and there is no sense of danger.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, probably infected by Zhou Yan's harmless smile, she stretched out her small jade-like hand, and placed it carefully on Zhou Yan's palm: "Are you really going to send me back?"

Zhou Yan smiled slightly: "I promise."

Probably Zhou Yan's smile soothed the little girl's uneasy heart, she stood up slowly, and let the man hold her hand and walked towards the direction she came from.Thick fog is troublesome for ordinary people, but Zhou Yan is not worried about the existence of such cheats.Holding Tingting in one hand and Meiren the cat in the other, he walked slowly and carelessly through the dense fog.

About a few hundred meters away, Zhou Yan found something like jelly wrapped around his feet.With the fishy smell of sea water, it should come from the East China Sea.

"Don't worry, I'm going to send her back." Zhou Yan knew that this must be a kind of monster: "If you don't believe me, just lie on Tingting's skirt. This will ensure that I will send her safely to A place to stay."

Zhou Yan was sure that this jelly-like monster was protecting Tingting.Otherwise, trapped in the mist in the state of a little girl, there would be nothing left.And she is well up to now, which means she is protected by monsters.But, is the severe fog a habitual protection or a fight against something?

Without thinking too much, Zhou Yan was still very confident in his abilities.He picked up the little girl and walked quickly, and soon fell in front of the hotel.Tingting's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the gate, and she seemed to know that this was where she lived.

As soon as he put the little girl down, Zhou Yan felt something dangerous approaching behind him.He was clever, and directly dodged and hid behind Miao Wu.I saw a thin old man walking slowly not far away.He still held a few skewers in his hand, and it seemed that he also came back from the night market.

"Grandpa!" Tingting rushed over as soon as she saw the other party, and plunged her head into the old man's thin arms: "Grandpa, I just ran away. Woohoo, I'm so scared."

The old man patted Tingting's head, and gave her the skewers in his hand: "Hey, go and eat." Then he pushed her into the hotel.Neither Zhou Yan nor Miao Wu moved. Although the old man didn't glance at them, the sense of danger of being locked in surrounded them all the time.I haven't experienced this feeling of oppression for a long time, and the two looked at each other, knowing that they had met an extraordinary expert.

Watching his granddaughter leave, the old man changed his face when he turned around.He chuckled, and said to Zhou Yan and Miao Wu, "Thank you for sending my granddaughter back, young man."

"It should." Both Zhou Yan and Miao Wu said nothing.

"To be honest, at my old age, there is only such a direct bloodline. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret." When the old man said this, there was a bit of inexplicable darkness in his eyes : "Speaking of which, I know the way well. I don't know why, but I bought some skewers, and the child disappeared when I turned around."

"..."

"Where did you find my granddaughter?"

"At the edge of the night market." Zhou Yan thought for a while and added: "Actually, Tingting is not in danger. When we found her, she was protected by the sea monster. She didn't suffer any harm."

"Oh?" The old man's face did not change significantly: "This child is really cute. But why do you want to protect her? Is it dangerous?"

The pressure on his body suddenly increased. Although the old man was still smiling, both Zhou Yan and Miao Wu felt his deliberate murderous aura.

Hehe, I kindly sent someone back to you, but you actually asked what we mean?Zhou Yan's face turned cold: "How do I know this. It's just sending someone back. The old man thinks what else we need to do?"

Zhou Yan still maintained a cold expression, Miao Wu had already made a move.A silver light directly entangled the two of them, and the pressure on their bodies suddenly eased.

"If we want to deal with you, we don't need to attack children." Miao Wu's expression was very determined, it seemed that he was telling a fact.

Miao Wu was telling the truth, at least he thought so.The thin old man responded with a mocking reply: "No matter what age, there are always little guys who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. I have seen too many bragging young people like you. But their last The result is the same..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly felt that the surrounding atmosphere was distorted.Without saying a word, he dragged Miao Wu and quickly retreated towards the rear.

"Words..."

"Escape!" Before he could utter a single word, Zhou Yan dragged Miao Wu up and down a few hundred meters in one breath.However, this is far from enough.At least that terrifying sense of danger chased Zhou Yan all the time, making him continue to run forward without even daring to turn his head.

Miao Wu did not ask why his daughter-in-law was so abnormal at this time.He simply turned into a silver tiger, carried Zhou Yan on his back against the wind, and his speed suddenly reached its peak.

In just a blink of an eye, I arrived at the beach, and almost ran at least an actual kilometer.

Miao Wu gradually slowed down, and then put Zhou Yan on the ground, and he returned to his human form: "It's okay here. Why did you run so fast just now?"

Zhou Yan's face was pale, and the cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes.He opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to start speaking: "It's too dangerous, I don't know if you noticed it just now, it's the breath of death."

Miao Wu frowned, he was indeed aware of the danger, but not as deeply as Zhou Yan felt.Zhou Yan's running wildly like a bereaved dog just now seemed to him to be a bit of a fuss.But seeing his lover's pale face, he felt that perhaps there was really some danger that he hadn't noticed.

"Then how do you feel now?" The distance of more than ten kilometers is not short, but it is definitely not long.At least for them, it's not out of danger.Zhou Yan shook his head: "I don't know, the feeling of terror is gone, but the feeling of being locked in is still there."

Miao Wu hesitated for a moment, trying to find something to comfort his daughter-in-law.As a result, just as he opened his mouth, a rattling laugh broke the tranquility just now.Like a night owl, it smells bloodthirsty and creepy.

"I'm chasing you..." Zhou Yan didn't intend to escape this time, because he already knew that he couldn't escape at all.

"Come out. What's the point of pretending to be a ghost?" Miao Wu protected Zhou Yan behind him: "Who are you?"

The old man came out slowly from the darkness, still looking so thin and inconspicuous, but neither Zhou Yan nor Miao Wu would underestimate him any longer.

"I just said a few words and you ran away. Fortunately, the old man has good legs and feet, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up." The old man's eyes are not cloudy as usual for the elderly, but frighteningly bright.Just looking at it feels like your soul will be swallowed.

Resisting the fear in his heart, Zhou Yan swallowed hard: "Old man, what do you mean? We kindly sent your granddaughter back. Why are you doing this to us?"

"Hehe, what do you mean?" The skinny old man pretended to be deaf and dumb: "I haven't done anything yet, and you are running faster than rabbits. Since you just kindly sent my girl back, why did you run?"

Nonsense, the breath you gave off just now is a fool who wouldn't run away.Zhou Yan slandered in his stomach.

"What exactly do you want?" It was Miao Wu who answered the question.Although Mao Meiren also felt uncomfortable with the pressure exerted by the other party, she was not as sensitive as Zhou Yan.It should be the role of the natural blood of the beast.He is not particularly uncomfortable with this kind of deterrence from humans.After all, the power comparable to the ancient gods and beasts has long been submerged in the long river of history.The only ones who survived were the little shrimps from back then.

The old man laughed again: "It's nothing. It's been a long time since I saw such a spirited doll as you. I want to practice my hands."

"Just want to practice?" With such a terrifying aura on purpose, Zhou Yan didn't think the other party just wanted to play.

The old man touched his chin with a hand like chicken feet: "At least for me, it's just for fun."

Miao Wu suddenly changed color.

In just a split second, he rushed in front of the old man, and the powerful wind blade slashed directly at him with almost no gap.This was the first time Zhou Yan saw Miao Wu emitting such a powerful wind blade, which was several times stronger than what he saw when he was in Xishang.If you accidentally rub it on your body, a few parts will be lost.Such a powerful attack method surprised Zhou Yan even if he was watching from the sidelines.

However, to the thin old man, these were nothing at all.I saw the old man stretch out his thin fingers and swipe in front of him, a transparent original energy field blocked in front of him.This energy field like a pot lid rotates at high speed, absorbing every incoming wind blade without hesitation.

"Boy, is this a little trick?" The skinny old man slightly bent his middle finger, and then popped it out.The originally absorbed several wind blades condensed together and shot at Miao Wu at three times the speed like a sharp spear.It was about to stab into the cat beauty's chest.If you can't get out of the way in time, it will definitely be a fatal blow.

However, an earthen wall appeared in front of Miao Wu at the right time.The solid and thick earth wall abruptly blocked the wind spear's attack at the end, defusing the final attack while collapsing.

Miao Wu raised his eyebrows and said to the skinny old man, "You are nothing more than that."

The latter laughed twice and suddenly jumped up as if stepping on a steel needle.Zhou Yan said that hard rock spurs kept popping out of the mud under his feet.There are big and small, all of them are hard and sharp, coupled with the speed at which they jump out, they can be pierced on the spot if they are not careful.Sure enough, the price of pissing off Cat Beauty was never that easy to pay.

The thin old man's speed was also fast, he escaped this wave of stone thorns with a few jumps in a row.His skill is not at all like that of an old man of his age.I don't know how to do it, but the old man actually floated.Although it looks trembling, it has effectively avoided the sudden attack of stone thorns.

Zhou Yan saw with his own eyes that the stone thorn that poked under the old man shattered almost instantly.And it's not like the consequences of head-to-head, it's more similar to the collapse of the structure.The skill of this old man is really too strange.It's a bit like a supernatural power and a bit of Taoism.Zhou Yan silently watched this dangerous old man. The system in front of him was running rapidly, and all the indicators were constantly changing drastically. It was impossible for Zhou Yan to determine the specific energy method of the other party in the first place.Zhou Yan was really surprised when he encountered such a situation for the first time.

However, Miao Wu's attack did not stop.In fact, the old man's attack just now made him angry.Although he is usually a good young man who respects the old and loves the young, he has never been a big cat with a good temper.

A white light popped out from Miao Wu's hand.This is a fire snake emerging from extreme heat.Even gold can melt in an instant, and you will be burned even if you get close to it.

The old man simply closed his eyes, and the old god drew another high-speed protective shield on the ground.For him, as long as the power he can absorb is not dangerous, it doesn't matter whether it is fire or wind.But of course Miao Wu would not let the other party go so easily.Almost at the same time, countless vines emerged from the ground, wrapping around the old man's body at an extremely fast speed.Without waiting for the other party to react, he began to pull down dreamily.

The old man didn't panic, the more the vines struggled, the tighter they became.He just sat there motionless, but his body temperature kept rising, and Zhou Yan swore he could see many vines starting to turn black.Miao Wu sneered, he wouldn't be so naive as to kill this old ghost just by relying on vines.The muddy ground, which had been calm all along, suddenly shook.Then, with a sudden provocation, more than a dozen muddy hands were stretched out, pulling the old man directly to the ground with a sticky smell.

The small swamp that appeared out of nowhere stuffed the old man who was still in mid-air into his mouth bit by bit with strong suction.No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.Even the high temperature emitted by the body is continuously absorbed by the continuous replenishment of water.He was slowly eaten into most of his body.

A sneer emerged from the corner of Miao Wu's mouth, and in Zhou Yan's eyes, he was really charming.His family's big cat is so beautiful and powerful, just standing by and looking at it is very pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Yan was thinking about it when suddenly his system started to alarm.The number that was originally just changing began to climb continuously, getting higher and higher, almost breaking through the warning value.And the source of the alarm was the old man who was about to be buried alive.

"Be careful." Zhou Yan deployed his protective cover almost immediately, completely protecting the cat beauty and himself.At the same moment, the swamp that trapped the old man suddenly exploded, and the terrifying temperature shot out all the mud clods with a speed that was silently captured.They slammed into the surroundings one after another.The originally flat ground was knocked out of large and small deep pits, and even the big rock not far away was partially damaged.

It was Zhou Yan who propped up the protective shield in time to resist the first round of blows.Those mud clods loaded the protective shield heavily, each time the system issued an orange alarm.Zhou Yan couldn't help but be amazed at how much energy it takes to do this.

Hoarse laughter echoed in the night sky, and the thin old man suddenly grew taller for some reason.He was suspended in the air, letting Night Breeze fill his clothes and pants: "Jie Jie, it's really interesting. It's been hundreds of years, and it's rare for me to meet such an interesting kid."

The old man's eyes were scarlet, and he stared at the two with horror that made Zhou Yan shudder: "It's rare to loosen your muscles and bones. Little baby, let's go together."
