Hidden Corners

After strolling on the street for a while, Li Chengyi walked directly out of the city.

He was a little curious about how the food, clothing, housing and transportation in this place were supplied.

From time to time, ferocious blood-bodied monsters are encountered outside the city. Living in such an environment, civilians are simply frightened and may face dangerous threats at any time.

Under such circumstances, do ordinary people still have the heart to grow crops?

He quietly walked out of the city gate and walked around the entire Xinmeng Town.

I found that there were some sparse farmland and farms around the town.

A lot of crops are planted there, and a lot of cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and dogs are also raised.

The fertility of the black soil under the feet is amazing, and the crops grow very well. The stream next to it is called Xuanxi, which is the main water source for these fields.

The town's patrol team can be seen everywhere nearby. It is obvious that the town is doing its best to maintain these fields.

After leaving the town, Li Chengyi slowly followed the loess driveway, accelerating all the way, and rushed away from the town.

With his speed, ordinary people would just feel a gust of wind and pass by without being able to capture his figure at all.

After just a few minutes.

A dilapidated village appeared in front of the driveway.

The village is located on the right side of the road. There is a stone tablet erected on the ground at the entrance, which reads: Jingwei Village.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Li Chengyi could see that it was full of broken walls and deserted.

When we got here, there was no one in the driveway, except for the occasional black crow that flashed overhead and reported news in the distance.

‘This is it. ’

Li Chengyi walked towards the inside.

These days are not just about practicing martial arts. As an adult from a modern society with advanced technology, when he encounters an unknown thing, he will instinctively use the knowledge system he has mastered to analyze and study the unknown thing.

So does he.

Studying Song Wen Qi has become his greatest pleasure now.

Secondly, look outside to see if there is any place where evil thoughts can be absorbed.

Last time, the lurking woman in the red dress gave him 6% of his evil thoughts. This made Li Chengyi understand that this so-called infected monster could also become the source of his evil thoughts.

So when he went out of the city, he might as well try his luck to see if he could meet new infected latent people, or he could try his luck with a pinkeye.

Unfortunately, he has not met anyone since he came out for more than a month.

This direction is not the route he took to reach Xinmeng Town, but a strange road that passes through Xinmeng Town and continues forward.

I thought about expanding the map, but I didn't expect that the front was completely deserted.

Entering the village with ease, we came to a large dilapidated house in the center.

Li Chengyi walked into the half-hung wooden door and came to the spacious central circular square.

"Um?"

Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and he looked towards the earthen house not far away, where there was a vague smell of a strange human being.

"Who is it? Get out." He said in a low voice.

The door of the yellow earthen house collapsed long ago, revealing only the dark space inside.

"Don't kill me!!" An unkempt little boy, wearing a thin silk suit made of good material but dirty and torn, walked out shakily.

In his hand, he also held the braised pig's trotters that Li Chengyi had left here for him to eat and drink.

"That's my thing." Li Chengyi said coldly.

"I'm so hungry, I'm sorry!!" The boy quickly bent down and bowed.

"Who are you? How did you get here? Why are you alone?" Li Chengyi frowned.

"My name is Liu Mingyang. I was on my way to Hualien City to visit relatives when I was attacked by horse thieves. Everyone in the convoy died. I was the only one who pretended to be dead and escaped." The boy was about eleven or twelve years old and spoke clearly. Clear, well organized and obviously well educated.

There are usually people with this level of education here, and their backgrounds are not bad.

But these have nothing to do with Li Chengyi.

What interests him is what the other party calls a horse thief?

"Horse thief? Where did you meet the horse thief? It shouldn't be far from here, right?" He asked with a flash of light in his eyes.

During these days, he had spent all the silver he had accumulated in his previous life on just eating and drinking, and now he still owed his second sister three taels of silver.

Fifteen times the speed of refining Qi and the large amount of food required to maintain this powerful body all require money.

What he had before was simply not enough, far from enough, so Li Chengyi had to find a way to make some extra money.

"It's in that direction." The boy Liu Mingyang pointed to the far left side of Li Chengyi.

Whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared from his sight.

Li Chengyi used Shadow Flash, and in an instant he appeared in the shadow of a dead tree thirty meters away.

Stepping out of the shadow, he sprinted in that direction.

As he steps and sprints, the Songwen Qi naturally flows to his legs, increasing his explosive power, reducing fatigue, accelerating recovery, and improving the toughness of his skin, muscles, and bones.

This kind of power can be said to be a tiger balm, which can comprehensively strengthen and improve the body.

This made Li Chengyi's already terrifying speed reach a higher level, reaching nearly four times the speed of sound.

Without adding any flower language, without wearing flower scale clothes, without using gentleness, this speed is already extremely exaggerated.

If various increases are added, he is confident that he can get six or seven times. This will only be known through specific tests.

He also felt more and more that he had gained a lot from coming here this time.

If the true energy continues to develop, maybe he can catch up with the terrifying speed of the eighth and ninth level by relying on his own body alone.

You must know that speed has always been his absolute weakness, but now, he actually has the opportunity to catch up. This is a huge surprise for him.

After racing all the way for a few minutes, another winding loess driveway soon appeared on the endless black earth plain ahead.

A group of strong men wearing black leather armor and holding a variety of rusty weapons were leading the horses slowly along the driveway.

Most of these people have green tattoos on their faces, which means that most of them are exiled criminals who cannot enter the city.

Tattoos in this place are only for sinners.

laugh.

Li Chengyi stopped for a moment, walked out of the shadow in a corner, and approached the group of horse thieves.

"Do you have money?"

The group of horse thieves were stunned for a moment, and it was obvious that their rough and weathered faces showed a look of astonishment.

"Fuck, I've seen people asking for directions, I've seen people running away, please spare your life, this is the first time this fucking guy asks for money." A bald man walking in front was carrying a two-meter long, thick and rough thigh. Mace, curled his lips and smiled.

This group of horse thieves, a total of twenty people, lined up and rushed on the road. Each person was holding a horse in his hand. The horses were covered with various cargo bags. There was a carriage behind them, and there was a faint cry from the carriage.

"It looks like you guys just grabbed an order." Li Chengyi took a few steps forward.

"Interesting, a man who wants to take advantage of others? Does he seem to be a master?" The bald man put down his mace, and his two-meter-tall body was bare-chested, revealing large blood-like tattoos.

"Brother, in this black soil, I will teach you a lesson. Not everyone can take advantage of others. Especially ordinary-looking horse thieves like us." His mouth was open and his eyes were faintly red.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Go up and grab it, just in time for spare food! His mother's stock has been used up in the past few days, and the meat is not strong at all. It's rare to find one that looks good."

"Cut him! Chop him to death! Hahaha!"

A group of horse thieves laughed wildly.

Amid laughter, Li Chengyi looked at the last carriage and frowned.

He approached the carriage, and from the gap in the door curtain, he could see that it was empty, with no cargo at all.

"Where did you put my money?" He frowned, turned his face, and looked at the bald horse thief who was leading the way.

"Are you so fucking crazy!?" The bald man's expression changed dramatically, and he waved the mace.

Several horse thieves nearby immediately surrounded Li Chengyi.

"The sky is red."

Li Chengyi said suddenly.

The group of horse thieves were stunned, and some of them looked up at the sky unconsciously. The afternoon sun was indeed like blood, dyeing the sky red.

boom! !

In an instant, the legs of all the horse thieves sank deep in place, making two holes with a bang, and became immobile.

The power of words forces peaceful coexistence.

"!!???!!"

The faces of the horse thieves were stiff, and the bald leader's eyes were twisted and frightened.

They wanted to speak, but they couldn't open their mouths and could only stay in place without moving.

This is witchcraft! ? ! ?

In rumors, there are always many phenomena that ordinary people cannot understand, and these phenomena are often called evil arts and witchcraft.

At this moment, the thought that arose in the bald horse thief's mind was witchcraft!

"If you don't want me to hurt you, please give me all your money."

Li Chengyi said calmly.

In a moment, more than twenty horse thieves pulled out their legs, walked up to him, and placed all their belongings on the ground in front of him.

Some people even put the bags on their horses over. Some people cut the skin on the outside of their thighs, pulled out the treasure map hidden inside, and placed it in a pile of belongings.

No reservations.

After everyone had finished handing over, Li Chengyi glanced at the belongings in front of him.

"If you don't want me to hurt you, please kill the person closest to you."

ah! !

The bald leader was completely unable to control himself and smashed the head of the deputy closest to him with a stick.

The rest of the people also roared and started killing each other.

Li Chengyi didn't even look at the crowd, and picked through the belongings on the ground, only taking gold, silver and a lot of money from Shaoyin Kingdom.

This is a test he conducted in the language of flowers.

Now it seems that only a few flower languages ​​​​with positive energy are restricted, and the rest of the neutral and negative energy directions are not affected.

Soon, corpses fell one after another, and in the end only the bald horse thief leader covered in blood remained.

He was holding a mace in his hand. The stick was full of minced meat and brains. There were two bloody holes in his upper body. He didn't know who had punched them out.

Standing in front of Li Chengyi, the bald head was trembling all over, panting heavily, and his eyes were full of fear.

'Fear +2.'

'Fear +3.'

‘Fear +1.’

A group of horse thieves gave him 26 evil thoughts in just a little time.

Among them, this bald man contributed nearly half, and he was worthy of being the strongest among them.

After testing for so long, Li Chengyi also discovered that fear is the easiest evil thought to acquire.

At this time, the progress of Wisteria's evil thoughts, combined with the previous accumulation, has reached 31%.

Wisteria, purple magnolia, and crape myrtle, three kinds of purple flowers, were the main flowers that filled up the flower energy before he came in this time.

Originally, he planned to replenish the sycamore tree, but there were not many mutant flowers of the sycamore tree around, so he didn't search around for the time being. He just got stuck after filling up to 60%.

"If you don't want me to hurt you, just commit suicide." Li Chengyi looked at the other party and continued to test the limits of flower language.

With his huge consciousness at this time, it was completely easy to control these horse thieves who knew a little bit about martial arts, but what he wanted to see was how far the control could reach.

The bald head was trembling, his pupils were constricted, his face was pale, and he raised his hands.

puff!

Suddenly, he hit himself hard on the head with a stick.

At the same time, the consciousness in Li Chengyi's mind suddenly consumed a large amount, reducing it by nearly one-third.

It originally cost one-third of the effort to control these twenty people, but now it took one-third to force them to commit suicide.

‘It seems that the more difficult the instruction, the stronger the confrontation, and the greater the consumption. ’

He frowned and turned around to leave.

Suddenly a breeze blew, and a faint breath floated from a distance.

He paused and looked back at the horse thief's corpse field.

"Come out, I see you."

He said in a low voice.

No movement.

The cold wind blew, and there was silence on the black soil.

Two crows flew down from a distance, trying to peck at the corpse.

Li Chengyi's cold gaze swept over them and landed on them.

The crow froze. The sound he had just opened his mouth to call was blocked in his throat. His two claws stayed motionless, not daring to move.

After confirming that there was no one around, Li Chengyi turned around, flashed black light, and suddenly disappeared from the spot, heading back the way he came.

Bang bang! !

The two crows exploded suddenly, and their bodies seemed to be broken and cut from the inside by countless invisible blades. In an instant, they were scattered into thousands of pieces of meat, with feathers scattered all over the floor.
