The strongest summoner

Now that the water source was found, the demon hunting team simply carried some water away. Besides, the corpse of the giant python was also dissected, and it was quickly cleaned up with soul power. The middle-aged man led the way, and the members of the Demon Hunt Team followed him around several alleys, and soon came to the back of a row of collapsed buildings.

From the outside, uninformed people thought it was a ruin, but when they walked in, they found that there was a row of buildings behind the ruins, which were very hidden. The civilians who fled here were hiding inside.

Along the way, Zhuang Yi and others also learned some news about this place through the middle-aged man.

First of all, the middle-aged man’s name is Wu Xian, the old man is his father, and the two children are his children. Now there are exactly 20 people living with Wu Xian, and there are seven adult men including Wu Xian. Two of them survived because they encountered a monster before, but their bodies were disabled. There were four adult women, three of whom were about the same age as Wu Xian, and one who was in his twenties, a little younger, and a child under the age of 16. There are seven, and the remaining two, including Wu Xian's father, are two elderly people.

It is said that there were more than 60 people living in the house at the beginning. Everyone lived together and took turns to go outside to find food every day. Although it was very close to the water source, sometimes even if there was no food, drinking water could barely survive for a few days. But it is precisely because of this that every time I go to fetch water or hunt, I often encounter monsters.

Everyone is a commoner without soul power. Even if they encounter a third-level monster, they may be killed and become the monster's dinner. In the end, some people decided to leave here and took more than 20 people with them. , a few died every few days, and became the current twenty people. If Zhuang Yi and others hadn't rescued Wu Xian's family today, the number of people inside would have dropped sharply again.

"Staying here is also death. Why didn't you choose to leave? Although there is a water source here, it is also very dangerous. According to your death rate, if there is no accident, the remaining [-] people inside may not last for a few months. Already?" Zhuang Yi couldn't help asking after hearing Wu Xian's words.

Wu Xian raised his head and glanced at Zhuang Yi. Because he had not had enough food for a long time and was living in fear, Wu Xian, a man in his prime, looked very old, and his face full of ditches was bruised by the northwest wind. The scabs were scabbed, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he looked exhausted. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only sighed, and then pointed to the front and said, "Master Soul Master, we are here."

Seeing this, Zhuang Yi didn't ask any more questions, and entered with the members of the Demon Hunt Team.

The place where Wu Xian lives is a dilapidated old house, the surroundings are gloomy, and the environment doesn't look very good. After entering, the first thing you see is a huge hall, and then a small yard inside. The building inside has two floors. There are various rooms, and the civilians hiding here live on top of each other.

After Wu Xian brought Zhuang Yi in, he first asked the members of the Demon Hunt Team to wait in the hall, and then he went in and called out all the people inside.

When the people inside came down from the downstairs one after another, they were startled when they saw more than 100 people standing in the hall with solemn expressions, and the timid children even screamed.

The members of the Demon Hunt Team turned their heads and saw the general situation at a glance. Sure enough, as Wu Xian said, including the elderly and children, there were only about 20 people in total. All of them had sallow faces, and it seemed that their lives were not good. Especially the young boy with a long body, skinny and skinny, it is uncomfortable to look at.

Wu Xian quickly explained to the side how their family was rescued by the Demon Hunting Squad. The expressions on the faces of those people gradually calmed down when they heard the words, but they were still astonished when they saw the Demon Hunting Squad. The soul master would save them and even visit their residence.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yi understood that there must be something hidden in it, but he was not in a hurry to ask, and went forward with Mo Weian to make a simple self-introduction and expressed their intention to come. Because Zhuang Yi and Mo Weian are not only outstanding in appearance, but also face The smile on the face is often heart-warming, and it is impossible to refuse. Soon, the civilians nodded nervously, and then invited the members of the demon hunting team to sit down in the lobby first, and they went to arrange a room for the demon hunting team.

The hall was very empty and there was nothing there. The members of the Demon Hunting Team walked for a day, didn't eat any food, and didn't bother to find a chair. , using the soul power to start cooking.

I have lived in the wild for several months. Although I didn’t carry seasonings with me, the members of the hunting team have already mastered the essence of cooking monster meat. They cook the monster meat in the shortest time until it is just right. Within a moment, the broth The fragrance slowly floated out, filling the entire hall.

Wu Xian and the others were about to come over and talk to Zhuang Yi about the problems in their room, but when they smelled the fragrance, their eyes widened.

Swallowing with difficulty, Wu Xian and the others sucked their noses wildly, their eyes glistened with desire for food, and they couldn't help but look greedily at the boiling snake soup.

The Northwest that had been ruined by strange demons was a barren place, and the wild beasts were basically extinct. The organs arranged by the hunters outside were basically destroyed every few days, but all the monsters came.Wu Xian and the others are ordinary people, and it's fine to have a picnic if they can become monsters or not. They can only eat some grass roots to survive every day, so at this time, smelling the smell of meat, they are all hungry and crazy.

The demon hunting team, with their backs to Wu Xian and the others, quickly sensed their staring gazes. Even soul masters couldn't stand being stared at by such gazes. When they found out that Wu Xian and the others were hungry for food, , Zhuang Yi immediately said: "The meat is almost cooked, let's come and eat together."

When Wu Xian and the others saw the members of the Demon Hunt Team looking over, they all took a step back in fright, and were about to wave their hands to explain that they were not coveting the Lord Soul Master's food, but when they heard Zhuang Yi's invitation, everyone suddenly They all froze.

"This monster was hunted and killed by you adults. Thank you for your life-saving grace. We... dare not eat it, dare not eat it..."

Seeing this, Zhuang Yi got up and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, we can discover this monster. Otherwise, we don't know where to find such a big python. There is a lot of meat, and we can't finish it. Come and help us eat some. "

As Zhuang Yi said, he turned his head and glanced at Liang An.

Liang An immediately understood, stepped forward and pulled them over with a smile.

Among the demon hunting team, Lei Xiu, Zhang Chengluo and others have always had a cold face. Even the tough soul masters are a little scared when they see it, let alone ordinary people.Although Zhuang Yi and Mo Wei'an were kind, they always carried a bit of elegance on their bodies. Although Wu Xian and the others wanted to get close to them, they were still somewhat restrained when they really talked face to face.

On the contrary, Liang An's appearance is a little more ordinary, and it is easy to make people feel good. At the same time, he doesn't feel restrained. Seeing Liang An's invitation at this time, Wu Xian and others shirked a few words, but in the end they couldn't resist the hunger, so they took the old woman with him in embarrassment. Sit down with the children one by one.

Just at this time, the meat was completely cooked. Liang An and the logistics staff began to distribute the food. The white crane was already hungry. It is a crane, and it feeds on snakes. It was delicious, and the first one couldn't bear it anymore, and shamelessly ran to Liang An's feet to act like a spoiled child, trying to eat delicious food quickly.

Seeing that Baihe was so funny, the ordinary children beside him couldn't help laughing.Bai He looked at the group of children, seeing that they liked it, he became even more frightened.

This giant python is big enough, after a meal, all the more than 100 people present were full and satisfied. Seeing that the demon hunting team was completely different from the soul masters they had seen before, the cautious civilians gradually relaxed. down.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhuang Yi slowly chatted with Wu Xian and the others.

When Wu Xian and the others were asked again why they still chose to stay here knowing that the situation would get worse if it continued like this, Wu Xian looked at Zhuang Yi a few times and finally said: "Because, no matter where you go, you will always be here." I'm going to die, there is still a place to live here, and there is water nearby, which is also a hope. If I go to another place, I will die faster and more terrifying..."

Wu Xian's words immediately caught the attention of the demon hunting team, and the civilians sitting beside them all lowered their heads in silence when they saw Wu Xian speak.The lively atmosphere just now quieted down, Zhuang Yi looked at Wu Xian and said, "Have you been to other cities?"

Wu Xian nodded, seeing that the members of the Demon Hunt Team were looking at him, who looked completely different from the soul masters he had come into contact with before, Wu Xian slowly said everything he knew: "A few months A while ago, there was something called Strange Demons, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There were so many of them that they were so black that they were too numerous to count! They didn’t look like monsters, nor did they look like plants. They had no heads, no limbs, and couldn’t speak. , but it can move. All the rebellious soul masters in the city were killed by them, and some children in the family were also captured by them. They didn't know what to do. Many people said that children were eaten by them. After eating the children, they will become more powerful, and the whole continent will be theirs in the future, telling us to be obedient, maybe they can spare us from dying."

When Lei Xiu heard this, he immediately frowned.

Zhuang Yi and Lei Xiu glanced at each other, and saw the same speculation in each other's eyes: Strange demons will occupy human bodies, as long as they pretend to be human, and then turn their heads to deceive and incite these civilians. People who don't know the truth are likely to He will really be coaxed into the past and become a slave of strange demons!

They only kill rebellious soul masters and eat children, but they don't drive out ordinary people. This shows the ambition of strange demons to rule the mainland and surpass human beings!

Wu Xian didn't expect his words to make Zhuang Yi and others think so much, he continued: "Because the cities near the Palace of Souls are occupied by strange demons, they drove us back, there are still a few children and I Father, was imprisoned in this city, and the strange demon raised us like livestock.

Until more than a month ago, I don't know what happened, suddenly all the strange demons gathered together, then retreated to the rear and escaped.They ran in the direction of Lancheng. Originally they only killed disobedient soul masters and little babies, but this time, they killed everything they saw along the way. Many people said they saw people being eaten by strange demons with their own eyes. Especially the people in Lancheng, tens of thousands of people, were all eaten up by strange demons. Human blood can flow into rivers, bones can pile up into mountains, and even at night, many strange sounds can be heard.

Those of us who were imprisoned in other cities survived by chance, and all of us were scared to death.Because the strange demons ran out from the Soul Palace, and everyone said that the Soul Palace was defeated and became the territory of monsters, so everyone dared not go forward, and retreated to the east under the leadership of the surviving soul masters. Finally, those soul masters found Chong'an City and decided to live in it. "

Chong'an City?Zhuang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

When he was in school, he liked to read books. Zhuang Yi naturally dabbled in those more famous cities in the mainland. Although this Chong'an City is not a big city, it is famous because it is adjacent to Chonghe River.

The northwest is barren, and the grain output is very low. However, several big cities near Yuhun Temple have a large population. In order to ensure the supply of grain, it is necessary to transport grain from the south.

Even if there are powerful soul masters in the mainland, the storage and transportation of a large amount of food is still troublesome. In the end, the Soul Palace thought of a way to go by water.The Chonghe River runs through the southwest, and several suitable cities adjacent to the Chonghe River are all set up as food reserve cities, and Chong'an City is one of them.

The strange demons fled, and those surviving human soul masters led the civilians into the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Chong'an City. With food in hand, it stands to reason that they could live a stable life until they received the response from the Soul Palace, but why? But Wu Xian appeared here, leading a group of old and weak women and children, living a life of hunger and fullness?

Wu Xian didn't notice Zhuang Yi's complexion, and said: "In the beginning, there were not many people living in Chong'an City, and the food was enough for us to eat. I brought my wife, children, and elderly father to live there. I thought The hard days are finally over. Unexpectedly, a few days later, more and more people came to Chong'an City. In addition to a large number of civilians like us, many powerful soul masters also moved in. The food management in Chong'an City The soul master spoke, saying that the food is not enough to eat, and there is no way to distribute it to everyone, so they decided to distribute it according to their strength. The stronger the person, the more food they get.

They selected the most powerful soul master to become the city lord, and also selected some commanders, city guards and other things we don't understand, and distributed food to them according to their level. When it was the turn of ordinary people, it was not enough. .

There were too many ordinary people, and finally, the soul master held a meeting and decided to drive out some useless people to reduce the burden on Chong'an City. "

"What, so you were kicked out?!" Mo Wei'an immediately shouted after hearing the words.

Wu Xian was taken aback. He looked up at Mo Wei'an like a frightened bird, and then looked at the soul masters around him in horror, as if he was afraid that after the demon hunters learned that they were kicked out, Ask them to spit out the food.

Seeing the expressions of Wu Xian and the others, Mo Weian immediately realized that he was being abrupt, and he hurriedly said in embarrassment: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just too shocked. I didn't mean to be so loud on purpose."

Seeing this, Wu Xian and the others immediately waved their hands to indicate that it's okay.

However, the atmosphere of the Demon Hunt Squad was extremely heavy.

All members of the Demon Hunt Team are soul masters. Perhaps in the past, when they faced ordinary people, they still had the pride and superiority of being soul masters. Influenced by people's thinking, I have experienced the responsibility and glory of guarding the Soul Palace as a soul master. Not only the strength, but also everyone's minds have matured. As Zhuang Yi said before, the ability of soul masters is stronger than ordinary people. He should shoulder even heavier responsibilities, but the soul masters Wu Xian spoke of were the exact opposite!

According to what Wu Xian said before, when the strange demons came, all the soul masters who resisted had been killed by the strange demons. These soul masters chose to surrender when facing the strange demons, but when the strange demons left, they began Be domineering.

To a certain extent, they are not even as good as the strange demons. The strange demons keep these ordinary people in captivity, at least give them food, but these soul masters drive their kind out, which is equivalent to driving these people to a dead end !

Thinking of this, everyone in the Demon Hunt Team couldn't help being angry, all of them lowered their heads, their faces livid.

Wu Xian and others looked at the sullen faces of more than 100 soul masters, and carefully surrounded them with his companions.

Zhuang Yi immediately noticed their emotional tension. Seeing the white crane lying on the side snoring after eating and drinking, Zhuang Yi suddenly poked its buttocks.

"Quack!!" The white crane jumped up violently, flapping its wings and yelling loudly: "Who! Who touched my chrysanthemum!"

Zhuang Yi: "..."

Lei Xiu came over and gave Zhuang Yi a half-smile.

Zhuang Yi noticed Lei Xiu's gaze, turned his head and pretended not to see it.

After Bai He woke up, he also found that the atmosphere was not right. Seeing that Zhuang Yi blinked at himself, and then looked at him expectantly, Bai He looked at Lei Xiu again. When he found that Lei Xiu was also looking at him, Bai He's heart jumped There was an unspeakable coolness.

So what about the tiger, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on me, Brother He!

Thinking of this, Bai He immediately did his best and started having fun, flirting with Liang An Haiming and others for a while, then rubbing around Zhang Chengluo and Ran Xing, and then running to the group of children Twist your ass in front of you to play with power and prestige.

Although the children are afraid of monsters, the white crane looks so harmless, especially its half-spirited, bald-haired and wretched look, which makes people laugh.

Under Bai He's hard-working performance, the atmosphere gradually eased down.

Although Wu Xian instinctively has a sense of fear of powerful beings after experiencing so many things, he also has his own cleverness. Otherwise, how could he achieve such a high mortality rate by himself? What about protecting an elderly father with two young children?

After a while, Wu Xian continued the previous topic: "There are standards for driving people away in Chong'an City. Among the common people, young, healthy and beautiful men or women can stay, and teenagers who have just turned 16 can also stay. There are commoners who possess special skills, and after being screened, some of them can stay in Chong'an City and serve the city lord. In addition, soul masters above level five are eligible to bring civilians. If they are related to soul masters above level five, they can also Keep it up.

My two children are not yet 13 years old this year, my father is already 60 years old this year, and I am not a soul master, just an ordinary hunter. To drive our family out of the City Lord's Mansion, but at this time, the child's mother voluntarily chose to stay..."

As Wu Xian said, he lowered his head slowly, and buried his face in his rough hands in embarrassment.

Zhuang Yi and the others were stunned.

In order to survive, she abandoned her husband and son, such a woman...

Seeing Wu Xian like this, Zhuang Yi and the others suddenly didn't know what to say to comfort him.

The city lord's mansion made a good plan, the soul master stayed and retained the combat power, and the fifth-level soul master could carry civilians, which was enough to give the face of the slightly stronger soul master, young and beautiful men and women, keep their desires, Boys who have reached the age of 16 can awaken at any time, and they are a potential stock. As for civilians with special skills, they are probably reserved for the city lord's mansion. After all, most soul masters only focus on cultivation. not good at……

This is to use Chong'an City as the base and establish a king on his own.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zhuang Yi's eyes.

Wu Xian lost his composure for a moment, and slowly recovered, he understood who the leader of this team was, so he looked at Zhuang Yi and Lei Xiu beggingly: "It doesn't matter what we adults and old people do, even if we die, we live After so many years, it is enough, but the children are still young. There are seven children under the age of 16 here. Although they are all children of ordinary people like us, it does not mean that they cannot become soul masters in the future. They, them……"

As Wu Xian talked, thinking of the people who died these days, Wu Xian couldn't help but choked up.

Those people sitting behind Wu Xian listened to Wu Xian's words, and unconsciously showed painful expressions on their faces, and the seven children, although they were still young, had experienced so many things that made them older than their peers. Even more precocious, they walked to Wu Xian's side, and Wu Xian's two children hugged their father, comforting them in a soft voice.

This scene made some members of the Demon Hunt Squad couldn't help but have red eyes.

"We'll take you back." At this moment, Lei Xiu spoke.

His voice was low and cold.Although Wu Xian and the others saw that he was tough, handsome and imposing, no one dared to get close to him, and they were even a little scared to look at him, but no one thought that it was such a man who made a promise to them .

At this moment, Wu Xian and those ordinary people forgot to be afraid. After a brief moment of astonishment, they looked at Lei Xiu with gratitude: "Thank you all...Thank you, master soul masters..."

After staying here for the night, they had a good rest and recharged their energy. The next day, the members of the demon hunting team took the twenty ordinary people and set off for Chong'an City.
