King of Black Mist

After a brief silence, Della winked at the female waitresses hiding at the bar and motioned for them to take off the water bottles.

Then, amidst the screeching sound of the kettle, she walked menacingly towards the child at the door.

Holding the skirt with both hands, he kicked his head out of the door with a bang, then turned around and walked towards the bar.

"If you want to come in, come in and close the door!"

The kettle was finally removed, the atmosphere in the tavern dissolved slightly, and the flames burning the bodies on the ground disappeared.

Everyone held up the table and stools, half-complaining and half-seriously shouting at the tavern owner to compensate for the damage, while chatting again.

"Ugh~" Andy pinched his throat.

"Brother Andy, what's wrong with you?" Tully asked curiously and concerned.

Andy pinched his own neck with his left hand, picked up a cup with his right hand, and stared at the water in the cup desperately: "It doesn't matter if you step on horse manure, if it's a human head, it's a man's head."

"The head of a man who hasn't bathed in half a month." Another soldier from the Shadow Team picked up the kettle, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all.

"Yate - you guy, I'm really going to puke!" Andy pretended, making Tully giggle.

The girl's laughter made Andy even more excited. He kept describing the man's oily head that hadn't been bathed in half a month, and how beautiful it was wrapped in the snow, which made Tully complain so much that she couldn't drink any water.

The children walked into the tavern and, relying on the strength of the crowd, drove away a table of people close to the fireplace and occupied one of the warmest seats in the tavern.

The old man poured water for Li Changzhou and at the same time glanced at the child calmly.

Li Changzhou nodded silently.

Old men, children, and women all gathered in this strange tavern that used guest kettles on a snowy night. Not to mention experienced players, even ordinary people would pay attention.

Just when the atmosphere became lively again.

squeak--

The door was slowly pushed open!

A shoulder pressed in through the crack in the door.

The cold wind was biting, whipping the newly warmed bodies, and everyone hunched their shoulders in unison.

"Damn it!" came one after another, and this time even Della couldn't help but curse.

This time there was only one person coming, up and down, invulnerable to wind and snow, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand.

Amidst the loud "welcome" (expletive), the visitor closed the door with his shoulder and chose a table closest to the fireplace without causing any conflict with the first comer.

Coincidentally, if Li Changzhou and the others were sitting on the black side's gun position in chess, then this man was sitting on the red side's gun position, forming a perfect symmetry.

Della walked up to the man.

"Eating? Staying in a hotel?"

The visitor nodded.

"Would you like to borrow a fire?"

The visitor nodded again.

"Twelve pieces of ice."

Because of the cold, the visitor slowly took out a handful of ice from the animal bag, placed it on the table, counted it with his eyes, and then pulled out twelve pieces with one finger.

"Merry! Serve a pot of horse bone soup to this table first, don't let my guests freeze to death!" Della shouted, neatly accepting twelve pieces of ice and throwing down a house sign.

Everyone, soldiers, children, old men, including Li Changzhou, all looked at the visitor.

Walking alone, being thin, not understanding the market, and having a lot of money.

Everyone - fat sheep?

Old man - trap?

Li Changzhou—Yang Qinglan?

The atmosphere became weird.

"Captain," the old man frowned and whispered, "The situation is not right. It's best not to stay overnight today and borrow a fire to continue setting off."

"Don't be ridiculous, old man!" Andy chewed on a piece of horse meat. "You want us to give up our lives and go out and freeze to death?"

"Idiot! If you stay here, you are giving up your life!" the old man cursed.

"Of course I know something is wrong with these people, but we have a captain, who is the most dangerous here?" Andy chuckled sinisterly.

The wrinkles on the old man's forehead doubled. Although the other four people in the team did not speak, their expressions showed that they did not want to go out. It was too cold outside.

"Captain?" The old man looked at Li Changzhou. Only orders could make everyone take action now.

In the dungeon, there is no way to avoid danger.

The last time Li Changzhou practiced in the world of Journey to the West for six years, the premise was to survive in the hands of the Queen Mother - the two Queen Mothers. Although this was their guess, according to the rules of the value game where risks and opportunities are equal, there is a high probability that it is true. of.

Staying may be risky, but choosing to avoid it may not be so if you go out.

What's more, it's really cold outside, and the old man is old. If anyone among the seven will freeze to death, he will be the first.

"Tonight we all sleep in the same room, and we take turns keeping watch in pairs. The old man and Tali rest." Li Changzhou said.

"No problem, boss!" Andy responded with a playful smile and raised his eyebrows at the old man.

The old man ignored the boy and frowned: "You can stay, but I will also keep watch."

"Old man, this team needs me, and it also needs you. You have to deal with a lot of things, including this night." Li Changzhou tore off the horse meat, dipped it in unknown dry ingredients, and ate it slowly, looking at it with his eyes. The lone traveler on the opposite side.

"Long live the boss!" Andy handed the cup to the middle.

"Long live the boss!" Yete and others toasted with boiled snow water.

Even after entering the tavern, the lone traveler still wrapped himself tightly. Although his eyes were exposed, his head was lowered.

I ate a little meat, and while I was eating it, my lips were completely covered.

Next to her, the mist of horse bone soup in the kettle was always lingering on her face.

He is about the same height as Yang Qinglan, but his figure cannot be confirmed because of his clothes.

"Cough! Cough!" Li Changzhou coughed twice.

"Honey, are you choking?" Della heard the cough and came over, twisted her waist, rubbed her plump ass against Li Changzhou and sat down.

"Della!" The soldier at the other table shouted, "Call me husband, a piece of solid ice!"

Della raised her eyebrows with anger on her face: "Ten dollars!"

"Two yuan at most!" Another person bid.

Everyone laughed, and with the addition of the beautiful tavern owner, the atmosphere became more lively.

Della is also happy to accompany her. When these warriors are in a good mood, they have a good appetite. With their appetite good, she can make money by selling horse meat without calling her husband.

So, she sat next to Li Changzhou, laughing and scolding the soldiers. All the soldiers she scolded laughed as if they were being kissed, feeling extremely proud.

Not to mention young people such as Andy and Yette, the old man said a few words.

Since he couldn't leave, Li Changzhou arranged for everyone to sleep in the same room. He also put the danger aside and took pleasure in the moment - when he returned to this tavern, it might be his body.

"Girl, stay with me tonight for twenty pieces of ice." said the child who had previously kicked his head like a ball.

"You? Has your hair grown all the way? Take it off and show it to me. When it grows, we can discuss the price!"

"Tutututuo!" the others shouted.

The child sneered, jumped on the table and took off his pants.

"Hahaha!" Everyone roared with laughter.

"Oh my god!" Andy slapped the table and laughed with tears streaming down his face, "I've never seen such a small one!"

Tully was also holding back a laugh.

Amidst the laughter, Delara said in a loud voice: "I don't want to breastfeed!"

The next moment, she was roaring and yelling, "Don't pee in my store!"

The laughter grew louder and the room seemed to shake.

Even the child's teammates were laughing. They didn't seem to know each other before, but they walked together halfway.

There were only two people in the tavern who didn't join the atmosphere, Li Changzhou and the lone traveler.

Li Changzhou looked at the lone traveler. The lone traveler always lowered his head and was indifferent to the excitement. He was eating horse meat with the same concentration as a caterpillar eating leaves.

‘Is it Yang Qinglan? ’ He was guessing in his heart and didn’t dare to go up and test it.

If not, then he must be a master - based on the player's experience, he would not believe that someone would be stupid enough to commit suicide by walking alone and revealing his wealth.

Now he knew nothing about the 'great power' and acted rashly. If the other party was not Yang Qinglan, he would not know how he died.

"How am I so young?!" The child became angry.

A big man with facial tattoos stood up: "Here, here, here is small!"

He teased the child with his hands like an earthworm.

Amid the roar of laughter, the child's face turned red and hot.

"Angry! He's angry!"

"Why are you angry? It's because you're shy!"

"Hahaha!"

The child stared at the big man, raised a tender finger, pointed at him suddenly, and made a very sharp sound:

"Life - death - never - farewell -"

The bright green light flashed, dyeing everything.

Looking from outside the house, the tavern that was originally bathed in orange-yellow firelight suddenly turned into a haunted house with green light.

When the green light disappeared, the big man fell to the ground with a thud, his face as gray as a sculpture.

In the fireplace, the bright yellow flames swayed tentatively. After confirming that it was safe, the light was released again, and there was silence in the tavern.

After a long time, a trembling voice said:

"Great power!"

"Are you still young? Are you still smiling?" The child pointed at everyone. The person pointed fell down in fear and hid under the table on his hands and knees.

Amidst the panicked screams, the old man grabbed Andy and Tully, and without waiting for a finger to point over, he was about to plunge under the table.

At this time, Li Changzhou stood up and kicked out. With a bang, the table rolled up and turned into a dam, trying to stop the terrifying green light.

The seven of them hid behind the table, Tully breathing heavily, looking so nervous that she was almost absent-minded.

When the sound of tables and chairs moving ended, only one person in the room, plus the child, was left standing on the table.

The sounds of nervous breathing and anxious swallowing came one after another. Everyone was like a field mouse hiding in a cave, and the child was a goshawk standing on the top of the tree hunting!

Everyone's internal organs were twitching under his gaze!

No one in this group of warrior hunters who could fight life and death dared to resist at this time.

very scary.

Li Changzhou couldn't help but change his color.

Killing a person with one finger is nothing. If the mana is still there, he can destroy a city with one finger.

In that dazzling green light, there is a strange yet familiar force, or rule - anyone you meet will be killed, and anyone you see will be killed.

It seems to have little power and a small attack range, but once it is hit by the green light, the living body will definitely die without any accidents!

After a long time, Della slowly said: "Okay, okay, the night is getting dark, the chat is over, everyone go to sleep."

Through the cracks in the wood of the dining table, Li Changzhou saw the child slowly put down his hand, and the violent rise and fall of his chest gradually subsided.

The child lifted up his pants and kicked the soldier who came with him: "Let's go!"

"Yes, sir!" Those soldiers were almost crawling.

Judging from their expressions and gestures, they were pretending not to know each other before, but they were actually the child's subordinates!

The sound of being trampled on the wooden stairs sounded and then disappeared. At this time, there was the sound of moving tables and chairs in the lobby, very softly and slowly, for fear of disturbing a hair on the ground.

Everyone poked their heads out from under the table, put down the stools they were holding to protect themselves, and removed the water bottles that covered their faces.

"Tough luck! I give up this exploration!"

"What are you afraid of! I want to continue!"

"You don't want your life?"

"Even the holders of great power are here. It seems that this rumor is true!"

In the tavern, everyone was whispering.

"Okay, come upstairs and rest!" Della shouted standing in the middle of the lobby.

"Listen! You are not allowed to fight in my store! You are not allowed to leave your room at dawn! There is only one light in each room. Idiots who want to be killed by ice spirits, just try!"

"In five minutes, I'll put out the first-floor fireplace!"

Everyone started to pack their things and left the first floor one by one, heading to the bedrooms on the second floor.

Li Changzhou saw Della instructing the tavern maid to put away the kettles of the dead soldiers. Tomorrow, he might see them on the fireplace.

If these people came on horseback, horse meat would also appear on the dinner plate.

Li Changzhou counted the time in his mind and glanced at the lone traveler from the corner of his eye. He moved in an orderly manner and walked towards the stairs after four minutes.

He followed the other party with his men.

The second floor is a long corridor, with rooms distributed on both sides. It is completely dark. The kerosene lamp in the tenant's hand is like a candle floating in the Black Sea. Only tiny lights can be seen, and no human figure can be seen.

When he was about to walk out of the stairs and onto the corridor.

"Ahem." The lone traveler coughed lightly as if he was sick.

Li Changzhou raised his eyes slightly, then lowered them calmly.

The Shadow Team requested three rooms. Andy and Shi Fist, who had previously led Li Changzhou's horse, quickly brought the bedding and kerosene lamps from the remaining two rooms.

Seven people crowded into a room.

Not to mention sleeping seven people, two people are lying on the bed. As long as one person turns over, the other person must turn over, and this is still the case with Tully.

If Tully were replaced by a man, both of them would have to sleep on their sides.

The old man lowered his voice and made arrangements: "Boss and Tully will sleep on the bed. Andy, Buzz, and I will sleep on the floor. Shiquan and Yett, you guys will stay in front of us for half the night. If there is any movement outside, don't open the door. If there is any situation, call us immediately."

Tali looked at Li Changzhou with some trepidation.

"You go to sleep first." Li Changzhou said to her.

".Um."

Everyone didn't take off their clothes and covered themselves with quilts. The old man's snoring was the first to sound, so loud that it shook the ceiling.

"Oh." Andy, who was next to the old man, put his hands behind his head and sighed almost desperately.

Tully was tossing and turning on the bed.

But after a while, fatigue defeated the noise, and everyone lying down fell asleep.

After waiting for another half hour, Li Changzhou stood up and whispered to Shi Fist and Yete: "I'm going out."

Shi Fist stood up subconsciously.

"You guys stay here, I'll be back soon!" Li Changzhou ordered.

Because there were three rooms open, there were three kerosene lamps in the house. He picked up one, gently opened the door, and blended into the dark night.

After the captain went out, Shi Fist and Yete became nervous at the same time, holding the weapons on their knees tightly with their hands.

The corridor was pitch black. In order to confirm how dark it was, Li Changzhou raised his hand and tried it - unless he put his hand within five centimeters of the kerosene lamp, he would really be unable to see his fingers.

When Della threw the key on the lone traveler's desk, he memorized the other party's house number. At this time, he raised the kerosene lamp and looked from room to room.

In the sticky darkness, he looked at the vague silhouette of the door, like the god of death choosing his dead.

squeak~~

The sound of heavy objects pressing on the stairs!

A substance darker than darkness swept up, clinging to Li Changzhou and the kerosene lamp, completely blending into the night.

In the darkness, the black material parted slightly, revealing the dark pupil of Li Changzhou's right eye, which stared at the stairs without any emotion.

The fireplace on the first floor had long been extinguished, and looking from the stairs, it looked like a deep black sea.

squeak! squeak! squeak!

Step by step, someone came up.

I could only hear the footsteps getting closer, but I couldn't see anything in my field of vision.

Squeak~, the approaching footsteps finally disappeared. After walking all the stairs, the other party had arrived at the corridor on the second floor!

Li Changzhou remained calm and visualized the "Thunder Eyes of the Nine Heavens God". After trying it twice, the clouds of calamity began to roll in his mind, and purple lightning dragons moved through the clouds like clouds and rain.

boom!

With thunder and lightning, the purple dragon rushed out of the calamity cloud and struck into his right eye.

There was a faint flash of purple light in his right eye, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

Li Changzhou's breath paused!

There was a pair of eyes that was stuck firmly on his right eye!
