Zhu Xiucai noticed Qin Shaoyou's reaction, and hurriedly came up to him and asked, "My lord, did you find anything wrong?"

Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly, pointed at the severed snake on the ground with the monster-slaying knife, frowned and said, "Is this monster snake too weak?"

In Qin Shaoyou's impression, all monsters that can speak human words have relatively high cultivation bases.

Worst of all, it should be about the same strength as the Huang Pizi who met in Wujiabao before.

However, this monster snake jumped out to block the way with a very arrogant posture, but its strength was unbelievably weak.

He was hacked to death with just one blow, without using much strength, and Qin Shaoyou had no chance to perform the follow-up moves that Qin Shaoyou had prepared.

That's right, although the snake that had been split in two was still staring and writhing, Qin Shaoyou could be sure that it was dead.

Because a new page was opened on the mysterious recipe.

Qin Shaoyou scanned it roughly, and it was still a medicinal wine prescription, but he didn't have time to look at the effect for the time being.

After hearing Qin Shaoyou's doubts, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help laughing, and replied: "My lord, I misunderstood. Although this snake can talk, it can only say 'I am taller than you', so you can't just because it can talk. I think it’s very powerful.”

Cui Yougui also knew this kind of snake, and when he saw a chance to show off his knowledge, he naturally wouldn't let Zhu Xiucai excel.

He interjected: "That's right, it's called a people-measuring snake, and it's a strange snake that likes to compare itself with people.

When they say "I am taller than you", they make a sound through the vibration of their tails, not really speaking human words. Once this human snake finds itself standing taller than a human, it will eat the human.

Most of the human-measuring snakes are not very strong, but they are stronger than ordinary snakes, so most of them ambush women and children in the wild, as well as some short and weak men, and dare to sneak into the city to measure them. Human snakes are rare.

In fact, even if women and children encounter them, there is a tricky way to deal with them, that is, when it shouts 'I am taller', pick up bamboo poles, branches and other things from the ground and put them on top of their heads, and shout 'I am taller' high'. When the human-measuring snake sees that this person is indeed 'taller' than itself, it will be frightened and jump into the grass to escape quickly. "

Hearing Zhu Xiucai and Cui Yougui's introduction, Qin Shaoyou also remembered that he had seen records about measuring snakes in the notes left by the seniors of the Zhenyaosi.

It's just that this human-measuring snake is completely incomparable with popular ghosts such as fox demons, clam spirits, and female ghosts, and the notes written by the seniors about them are not exciting, they just said that they can be eaten after roasting. Wait, there is no other bullshit.

After all, not everyone can have Xu Xian's courage and skills.

That's why Qin Shaoyou didn't recognize them the first time he saw the human snakes.

During the short time of speaking, several human snakes jumped out from the darkness shouting "I am taller than you".

These human-measuring snakes are also stubborn, seeing that their companions have been killed, they don't know how to run quickly, and dare to come out to send them off.

This time Qin Shaoyou didn't do it himself, but asked the night watchmen under his command to kill the snakes and told them to take the snake meat with them.

When the night watchmen heard Qin Shaoyou's order, all of them smiled happily, knowing that there was more food to eat.

And Qin Shaoyou led Shan Daonian, Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others, and continued to rush towards the place where the cloud piercing arrow was sent out.

But on the way, Cui Youxu remembered something, and said with a frown, "This kind of human-measuring snake usually only appears in the suburbs where the yin is relatively heavy. How could it suddenly slip into the county town? Give it a shot." There are so many entries?"

Qin Shaoyou pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "It can be seen that the situation in Mianyuan County has been really bad in the recent period. If we come later, the residents in Mianyuan County will not die in the drought. In the hands of the Corpse King and Xu Fangjun, he will also be enslaved and killed by these ghosts."

"Indeed." Cui Yougui nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xiucai flattered: "My lord's crackdown is launched at the right time, otherwise not only the ghosts in Mianyuan County will become more and more arrogant, but also ghosts from other places will come here upon hearing the news. When the time comes Not only the Mianyuan County, but the entire Mianyuan County will become a domain of ghosts!"

The domain of demons and ghosts?

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help thinking of Shituoling in "Journey to the West".

If Mianyuan County really becomes like a mountain of lions and camels, a mountain of skeletons, a forest of bones, human hair as mats, and human flesh as dust... then it will really become a world of demons. Purgatory, a forbidden place for living beings!

Fortunately, they still have time to prevent this terrible thing from happening.

Qin Shaoyou didn't say anything more, but just called everyone to speed up.

On the next road, they encountered a few ghosts blocking their way.

The strength of these ghosts is not very good, either they were killed by Qin Shaoyou, or they were killed by Cui Yougui.

Qin Shaoyou, on the other hand, frowned and muttered while running:

"What's wrong, last night the genius doctor and the monk patrolled the night. Although they encountered some cases of ghosts harming people, they were not like this night. After walking a few streets, they bumped into several groups of ghosts... the ghosts know We want to crack down hard, so they gathered to fight against us? Or are these ghosts doing something tonight?"

Qin Shaoyou told this question to Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai, Shan Daonian and others, wanting to ask their opinions, but unfortunately, they couldn't figure out why.

After a while, they arrived at the place where the cloud piercing arrow was sent out.

But the situation here made everyone stunned.

Not because of how fierce the battlefield they saw.

Nor was it because of the horrible sight they saw.

On the contrary, in this place, what they saw was a lively scene with bright lights and loud voices!

This place... actually has a night market!

A night market that is many times more lively than the Lantern Festival night market on the Lantern Festival.

In this night market, stalls are lined up one after another. On the stalls, there are either exquisite goods for sale, or some fragrant delicacies.

In addition to the fixed stalls, there are also many burden-carrying vendors, walking in the crowd and shouting loudly.

Some jugglers and acrobatics performed among the crowd, drawing applause.

However, whenever they held the gong to ask for rewards, more than half of the people who had been watching the excitement before would immediately retreat. And the rest of the people who didn't leave couldn't touch a few copper coins.

In addition to these people, in this bustling night market, there are also quite a few well-dressed, half-breasted humanistic practitioners who are waving and throwing handkerchiefs to solicit business.

Take a closer look, among these humanistic practitioners, besides beautiful women, there are also many handsome men...

Seeing this bustling night market, the night watchmen who were mentally prepared for a fierce battle were all stunned.

Their first reaction was that they went to the wrong place.

But in the next moment, they came back to their senses and clenched their weapons tightly.

But he realized something was wrong.

In Mianyuan County, there are curfew rules.

Unless it is a holiday, at night, only night watchmen and watchmen can walk on the streets.

Not to mention setting up stalls and creating a bustling night market like the one in front of you.

It is simply impossible!

What's more, in the recent period of time, Mianyuan County is not safe at night.

People in the county town, at night, can't wait to seal up all the doors and windows of their homes, so how could they run out to hold a night market?

Isn't that the old birthday star eats arsenic and thinks his life is long?

The night market in front of me must be weird.

Suddenly, a word appeared in everyone's mind:

Ghost City!
