Chapter 199: Preliminary Discussion (3rd Update)
Now that we have a general understanding of the situation, the next step is to discuss countermeasures.
Having said that, although Shui Xin began to study the current situation of Ruining Mansion without delay as soon as she arrived at Ruining Mansion, it took a lot of time in the end. By the time Xiang Xia Rucheng confirmed the situation, it was already dark.
At this time, it is undoubtedly unwise to take a detour into the mountains.
“…… I heard that the Phantom Crystal Ape will come to harass me every day these days?" Shui Xin looked out the window.
They were now in the main hall of the inn. In the past, the official of Yongguo came to hold a banquet or something here. But at this moment, a large sand table was placed in the center of the main hall, and the terrain near Ruining Mansion was roughly simulated with hard mud, beeswax and other materials.
The buildings in Ruining Mansion are also shaped in detail.
At least let Shui Xin have a general understanding of the terrain in Ruining Mansion in the first time.
"The time varies, but it does come every day, and from both sides of the canyon. Grab a few people or livestock and go. Xia Rucheng, who had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, smiled bitterly, "So even the Hou Ye hasn't rested well these days." ”
Shui Xin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she couldn't help but speak.
She felt that maybe those Phantom Crystal Apes felt that humans were too easy to bully. It's very weak, and it won't run away or hide, it's all huddled together, and it's really easy to catch in the same size and the same amount of meat. In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible to catch it. What are you going to catch if you don't catch humans?
But it may be too stinging to say this. So she endured.
What the hell does she still want to take over the red dust of this city?
"Then let's talk and wait. What do we want to do now. It's also not enough time. Shui Xin sighed lightly, turned her head and asked the person who had been silent all along, "Su Yuqing, Xiao Yao." How many possible reasons do you think the Phantom Crystal Ape has gathered an entire group here?"
Zhou Hongyao looked dazed.
It seems that she has not studied the habits of demon beasts.
Su Yuqing said simply, "There may be a lot of them—environmental changes lead to autonomous migration or simple grouping, persecution of the strong, and attraction of spiritual objects." Among them, there are many possibilities for the attraction of spiritual objects. ”
“…… The first two are unlikely to be determined anytime soon. But can the last one, the attraction of spiritual objects, be determined?"
Shui Xin wanted to say something like "Soul Seeking Magic Plate".
If there is a spirit that attracts demon beasts, then find out quickly!
It's a pity that Su Yuqing shook her head. "You can try, but it's hard to say. Demon beasts like the Phantom Crystal Ape have a population inheritance. I'm only afraid of some spiritual things. They will have their own way of covering up. ”
Shui Xin grinned with a headache.
"Anyway, let's go up the mountain tomorrow. At least first you have to find out their numbers and strength. It's just that in Ruining Mansion, these things can't be figured out. ”
Xia Rucheng was a little embarrassed.
He is still a young man after all, and he has reached the master of the marrow cleansing realm at a young age. Although Shui Xin is stating the facts. But the fact that "it's been dozens of days since the incident happened, but you haven't figured anything out" itself. It's enough to sting.
Chief Priest Wu nodded, obviously appreciating Shui Xin's attitude.
&
Most of the information that can be obtained has already been obtained. Shui Xin can basically be sure that at least among these people she has seen so far, there should be no conspiracy insiders. They were all genuinely worried about the unfortunate situation in Ruining Mansion.
Originally, demon beasts were not uncommon.
Otherwise, it will not be one of the routine matters for the prospective saints.
The first two reasons mentioned by Su Yuqing can even lead to the migration of the demon beasts. It's even more troublesome.
But Ruining Mansion is really too unlucky.
Hordes of demon beasts are not something that ordinary priests or apostles can handle. However, the Nirvana Sect also lost a large number of people because of the Southwest Demon Chaos (in fact, it was the Dream World), even the high-level of the Phoenix Pavilion. are still cleaning up the aftermath of that incident, and by the way, they are investigating the real secret realm that appeared in the end......
There is simply no way to get enough masters in a short period of time.
Now is the time. Shui Xin, who came on order, will inevitably meet some skeptical eyes.
- "Such a beautiful quasi-saint woman, if you want to say that you are a good candidate for marriage, then it is certain. But the number one master of Qi Feng Mountain, dealing with a group of demon beasts, is it really that powerful? And it's so beautiful, he can't even recruit a few more famous followers!"
Translated from these skeptical glances, that's pretty much what they mean.
Shui Xin doesn't have such a strong ability to analyze expressions, and the above translation work is to reduce the trouble and automatically play Su Yuqing's maid (a big-name maid who doesn't do any service work) Zhou Hongyao translates in her ear when she is bored.
Even Xia Rucheng, a young officer with a very cooperative attitude, has this meaning. The bad situation has obviously changed his perception of beauty.
Shui Xin doesn't care about this.
In addition, a curfew has been imposed throughout the city. At this time, if you are walking in the city and encounter a bell and make a false alarm, you will undoubtedly be beaten up directly by the surrounding residents, not to mention the trouble in the future.
So once she stopped talking, Shui Xin listened attentively, and she had to feel that she really only heard insects outside.
It's Xiaobai, who has been eating meat at her feet, and the sound is the loudest-the demon beasts in the growth period always eat a lot. It has the demeanor of Shui Xin when he just woke up in Qifeng Mountain.
Shui Xin sighed lightly, suddenly remembered another thing, and pointed to the huge sand table in the middle of the main hall, "When did this thing appear?
Xia Rucheng was taken aback by this unexpected partial question, and he was still in a trance, but he was at a loss, "Who did it...... It seems to have been there early in the morning. ”
"Early in the morning?" Shui Xin pondered to herself in everyone's confused gaze.
- She always seemed to feel that there was something wrong with the "sand table" thing appearing here. Maybe.
It's a pity that I can't figure it out.
Fortunately, at this time, in the direction of the east and west of the city, there was a sound of a bell almost at the same time. The sound was not loud, but on a night like this, it was piercing and far away.
Then came the bells on both sides of the city!
Shui Xin had already learned about it before.
The bell may have been accidentally bumped by a bird or a mouse, but the bell must have been an enemy attack!
Shui Xin immediately stood up and said casually, "I'll go to the east of the city, Su Yuqing, you go to the west of the city to take a look." How many can be left!"
After speaking, Shui Xin scooped Xiaobai out of his hand, went through the window and over the wall, and ran to the east of the city first.
While running, she told Xiaobai, who was screaming, "You are also second-order, and the speed of the wind system is fast enough." If you forget how to fight, I'll definitely throw you!"
Xiaobai is a demon beast that only knows each other, and the general meaning of Shui Xin can be understood after the contract. It shut up instantly. (To be continued......) R1292
