I'm useless, but my apprentices are all gods who protect others.

"So Chonglan really forgot about us?"

As night fell the next day, several people returned to reality. After several people reviewed the current situation, Chu Qiongxin frowned.

"No, I can all forget this. Meng Mu was so kind to him back then. She stole things to support him. Although stealing and robbing is not good, but when a person is in such a state of poverty and still provides him with food and clothing, how many people can do this? ?" Zhong Yueling complained, suddenly remembering that Chonglan followed Meng Mu back to see them last night.

"Then why is he coming back to see us? He doesn't even remember and is still pretending..."

Sheng Yi: "It's just a plan. Meng Mu knows it too."

Zhong Yueling: "He knows that he relies on Zhonglan——"

Zhong Yueling was breathless, but suddenly realized something, her voice stopped suddenly, and in the end there was only a sigh.

The four of them have also gotten along with Chonglan, but the one who has the deepest relationship with Chonglan is none other than Meng Mu.

Zhong Yueling sighed: "It looks really bad."

Sheng Yi said nothing and fiddled with the cicada on his body.

This was the one she left in Grandma Li's house. They stayed in the five thousand years for longer and longer, so Shenyi recorded the sound with the cicada and listened to it together after returning to the living world.

Granny Li likes to play cards with her neighbors, and since she lives alone, she usually doesn't hear much useful information. However, today it seems that a piece of the neighbor's roof collapsed due to heavy rain, so the card table was moved to Granny Li's house.

Shenyi listened carefully, and at first there was just the sound of shuffling cards and some insignificant chatter, until Granny Li spoke.

Granny Li: "How long have those children been gone? Half a month, right?"

Grandma Chen: "It's been sixteen days. In the past, people would get their results within twenty days. I think they're going to be there soon. I don't know if they can come out alive."

Lao Lin: "What are you doing here alive? After thousands of years, who can come out alive from Mirage City? They were originally sacrifices to Mirage City. Once you eat them, Mirage City will stop for a year and no longer exist. Expand outward.”

Granny Li: "When those outsiders came, Zhangtou at the entrance of the village was very happy. Today they even brought eggs over to say thank you to me."

Lao Wang: "Thank you for what?"

Lao Lin: "Of course he has to thank her. If A Ling hadn't suddenly tricked those outsiders into going to Mirage City, he would have been the one to be sacrificed this year."

Grandma Chen: "When do you think this day will end? Mirage's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years. In the past, one person could stop it for a year, but now it takes four people. The old man in the village sacrificed first, maybe he can tell One day it will be our turn."

Granny Li: "What can be done about this? The people who came to investigate have not come out since they entered the city. No one knows what is in the mirage city. We have all been marked by it. Even if we move away, we will be found. With luck, things will turn around. , otherwise we can only wait to die.”

Lao Lin: "Hey, how about we go and pay homage to the immortals too. Lao Zhangtou said that he just went to pay homage to the immortals before those outsiders came. Well, the scapegoat is coming soon."

Lao Wang: "Is he really that smart?"

Lao Lin: "You're tired of living, right? You dare to say such things. Back then, the human race was fighting against the demon race and the beast race. The human immortal died under the claws of the beast in order to protect the human race. He was dedicated to the human race. He has great A virtuous man!”

Granny Li was surprised: "Old Wang, you are getting old and confused, aren't you? Don't you usually like to worship immortals the most, and you still ask if the spirits are working?"

Lao Wang: "Isn't this just because I'm tired of praying? Even though I prayed, I still didn't see the immortals making the mirage disappear. I believe in him so much, but I didn't see any real manifestations."

Shengyi listened to the conversation between several people, and combined with their experiences in the secret realm, he roughly figured out the context of the matter.

Thousands of years ago, the relationship between the demon clan and the beast clan was tense. Meng Mu rescued the young Chonglan, and the two depended on each other for a while. After a while, Chonglan was picked up by his biological parents.

When we meet again after more than ten years, we are already enemies.

The three tribes will eventually have a battle, and it is precisely because of this battle that Chonglan fell and the mirage city was devastated, turning into a strange city that needed sacrifices or else it would continue to expand.

For thousands of years, the mirage city has only been inaccessible, and it has caused countless lives.

If this is the case, then this matter is considered clear.

I thought the conversation was over, but the next second I heard the sound of tables and chairs falling over. I heard the short screams of Granny Li, Granny Chen and Lao Lin, who seemed to all fall to the ground.

Grandma Chen panicked: "Old Wang! Why are you so crazy? Why are you flipping the table so well?!"

Just listen to Lao Wang's old voice: "I've heard everything I want to hear, so isn't it time to break up?"

Several people were shocked: "You are not Lao Wang?! Who are you!" Then there were rapid footsteps, but the old voice turned into a pleasant male voice, and the person who came said casually:

"Who am I? You sent my little master in."

"She is suffering inside, and you are still playing cards here, how heartless."

Shengyi:...? ? ?

No, why is Duan Yanyao here?

The familiar voice and tone fell into her ears, and Sheng Yi was startled. She really didn't expect to hear Duan Yanyao's voice here. Before she could react, she heard Duan Yanyao's voice coming from the cicada.

"There's actually an eavesdropping thing here?"

Duan Yanyao should have discovered Ling Chan.

"It's Master's breath... Ah, Master, are you listening? Long time no see?"

Duan Yanyao's voice was brisk: "These people lied to Master. I want to teach them a lesson. It's better not to listen to the following content, for fear that Master will not be able to sleep at night."

Then the cicada stopped making any sound.

Sincerely: ...

A bad premonition arose in Sheng Yi's heart.

The voice in this cicada is yesterday's voice, so where is Duan Yanyao now?

Not to mention how he found him, the key question is whether Duan Yanyao has entered Mirage City now?

Sheng Yi thought about it and realized that he hadn't had time to teach Duan Yanyao how to wield a sword. If he encountered a strange corpse, he might not be able to survive for long.

Sheng Yi picked up the silver sword at his side and greeted the other three people: "I'm going out first."

What are you doing out in the middle of the night? Chu Qiong was about to ask, but in the blink of an eye, the kindness disappeared.

……

Duan Yanyao wandered around Mirage City without interest, wondering when Cen Wanwan would find him.

Earlier, he used his clone to go to the Demon Clan's village to inquire about information, and found the cicada left by Cen Wanwan.

A day has passed now, Cen Wanwan should have discovered it.

The alien corpses discovered him early. Duan Yanyao was quite interested in letting them chase him at first. After playing like this for a while, he began to wait for Cen Wanwan to come to him.

Duan Yanyao knew where Cen Wanwan was.

But in Cen Wanwan's eyes, he was just a newbie, who was incapable of breaking through the tide of zombies to find her.

Have to wait for her to come to rescue.

Duan Yanyao was happy, lying on the roof to bask in the moonlight, sensing Cen Wanwan's location through the mark as usual, and suddenly found that Cen Wanwan was moving quickly.

coming.

Duan Yanyao smiled, took the initiative to jump down the bumpy street, and pretended to run.

He unlocked the barrier that hid his aura, and the confused corpses instantly noticed Duan Yanyao's presence and chased him with claws and teeth.

Sheng Yi Yujian looked for traces of Duan Yanyao. The first thing he observed was the movements of the alien corpses. He soon discovered an unusual riot of alien corpses in a street. He looked towards the source and saw Duan Yanyao.

Duan Yanyao seemed to have reached the end of his strength, his left leg seemed to be injured, and he was not running smoothly. Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by the alien corpse, Shengyi rushed over:

"Duan Yanyao, catch me quickly!"

Duan Yanyao looked up and saw Sheng Yi standing against the light, with a large expanse of light moonlight behind her. She stretched out her hand towards him against the wind.

So beautiful.

Duan Yanyao thought for no reason.
