The Counterattack of the Villains

After dealing with Hanako, the group of people walked up to Qu Zhongding and turned him over to check the situation. After just one glance, he shook his head and said to everyone: "He is already dead and cannot be saved."

There were two fatal injuries. One was his heart was stabbed to pieces, and there were strangulation marks on his neck.

The typical Hanako killing method is to first stab the person until he is close to death, and then strangle him until he is completely dead.

Seeing that Li Mu and the others had died, Granny Zelan didn't want to stay long. After accepting Li Mu's thanks, she said a few comforting words and returned to the shrine with Poria.

Again, it's all a show, after all, in the eyes of Granny Zelan, Zhongding is their partner, and it doesn't make sense to abandon them.

Except for Zhang Qin and Zhan Lan, who still returned to the kitchen to help Fuling prepare dinner, the others used the firewood collected by Qi Tengyi and the others to build a pyre, cremated Qi Zhongding, and then buried the ashes on the spot.

By the time they finished their work, night had fallen, and dinner was ready when they returned to the shrine.

Because they lost a teammate, Qi Teng and others were very depressed and went back to their rooms to sleep after dinner.

Being in the shrine, it was relatively safe, and the seniors were right next door, and they were very tired during the day, so they slept very deeply.

On the senior side, Li Mu, Zhang Qin, and Zheng Zha did not sleep, but instead practiced meditation instead of sleeping.

During the cultivation process, they did not immerse themselves in it wholeheartedly. Instead, their spiritual sense and consciousness were more active than usual due to their cultivation state, and they kept paying attention to the situation around the shrine.

But logically speaking, most ghosts would not dare to enter the shrine, otherwise Hanako would not build the alien space outside the shrine, but directly in the toilet of the shrine.

Zhan Lan slept until midnight and recovered most of his mental power, so he got up to help with the vigil. According to Li Mu's instructions, he performed a mental scan every half hour.

The night passed, and nothing unusual happened. After all, it was only the first day, and they had already encountered enough attacks, killing six newcomers. This death rate was already quite high.

In the early morning, Li Mu put Zhan Lan back to sleep to restore her mental strength. Although she was not sleepy, she had mental powers and it was easy to fall asleep.

She can even sleep when she wants and wake up when she wants. She can also weave a dream world for herself. In her dream, she is an absolute god.

If a ghost like Freddy from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" dares to invade her dreams, she will definitely be tortured in a rhythmic manner.

Even if Freddy's mental power level is one level higher than hers, it won't work, because her dreams, that is, her spiritual world, are her home court.

She also possesses Freddy's ability to invade other people's spiritual worlds, become the master of other people's spiritual worlds, and then control others.

However, if the opponent also has high mental power or a strong will, she may also suffer backlash.

It's all the same. Entering other people's spiritual world is inherently dangerous.

In all the heavens and worlds, there are not a few ghosts or souls who have been swallowed instead of taking possession of their bodies.

Therefore, this method is usually only used against ordinary people. If used against the strong, it will often lead to self-defeat.

…

In the early morning, when Qi Teng and three others walked out of the room and were going to fetch water from the well in the shrine to wash themselves, they saw a scene that made them jealous.

In the open space inside the entrance of the shrine, Li Xiaoyi was holding a bow and arrow, aiming at the target fifty or sixty meters away.

At this time, Fuling was standing behind Li Xiaoyi, holding his small hands in his big hands, teaching him how to shoot arrows step by step.

"Don't rely solely on your arms to pull the bow string, use your shoulder strength..."

Fu Ling explained in a soft voice, their faces were almost touching, and Fu Ling's body was pressed tightly against Li Xiaoyi's back.

Seeing Li Xiaoyi's face full of happiness and enjoyment, Qi Teng and the others clenched their fists tightly, their teeth almost shattered, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged into their hearts.

The strange thing is that their murderous intention is not only aimed at Li Xiaoyi, but more towards Poria.

The emotions of love and hatred filled their hearts instantly. As long as they killed her, the thought that she would not belong to anyone else filled their minds.

But they did not lose their minds. They knew very well that with Li Xiaoyi here and Fu Ling herself being a master of physical arts, the three of them combined would be in vain.

So the three of them just walked to the well silently, no longer looking at the two people who were inseparable.

"The speed of shooting the arrow must be fast. Open your fingers suddenly and don't hesitate. Come on, I will count to three, and then you shoot the arrow. Three...two...one...shoot."

"Boom...whoosh..."

With a sound from the bowstring, the arrow flew out. Although it missed the target, it was inserted not far from the target.

Fu Ling said happily: "Xiao Yijun is really talented! The first time I tried, I couldn't even hit the target."

Li Xiaoyi touched the back of his head and said with a shy smile: "It's all because of your good teaching."

"Hey, it's just a small skill, what's the big deal?"

A discordant voice came from the side. Li Xiaoyi instantly raised his eyebrows and turned his head to glare at Ming Yanwei, who was slowly walking past with a look of contempt on his face.

Li Xiaoyi said coldly: "Rookie, who gave you the confidence to look down on the archery skills of a professional witch?"

Poria was despised for no reason, so she naturally felt uncomfortable. She said unconvinced: "If Miss Kagome said that, you must be very good at archery?"

"Why don't you, Miss Kagome, show us what superb archery is?"

Ming Yanwei's neon alias: Higurashi Kagome.

Li Xiaoyi mocked: "She's the only one? She's still good at archery, but her 'cheap' skills are pretty much the same."

Li Xiaoyi used an accent on the word "cheap". Ming Yanwei understood, and her eyes darkened. Originally, what she hated most was bows and arrows, but now...

She walked straight to Li Xiaoyi and opened her palms to him.

Li Xiaoyi sneered and handed the long bow into Ming Yanwei's hands.

After Ming Yanwei took the long bow, she pulled the bowstring several times to test the tension. After knowing what she had in mind, she pulled out an arrow from the quiver standing on the ground.

At this moment, Li Mu and a group of senior people also came out. Seeing this scene, they remained silent and stood aside to watch with cold eyes.

Then he saw Ming Yanwei holding her bow and arrow in a very standard posture, pointing at the opposite target.

Poria was surprised when she saw this and said to Li Xiaoyi: "Xiao Yijun, it seems that Miss Kagome has indeed practiced!"

Li Xiaoyi kept a calm face and said nothing, but looked at Ming Yanwei coldly, and said to himself: "No wonder you dare to come to play, it turns out that you are well prepared. I want to see what skills you, a newcomer, can have.

"

Ming Yanwei just took aim briefly and then decisively released the arrow.

"Boom...whoosh..."

The arrow flashed past and stuck on the edge of the target, even further missed than the arrow shot by Li Xiaoyi.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoyi looked relaxed and joked: "It's really amazing. It turns out that this is the so-called 'splendid archery'."

Ming Yanwei glanced at Li Xiaoyi disdainfully, and this look made Li Xiaoyi furious.

He was about to have an attack when he heard Fuling beside him say: "Xiao Yijun, Miss Kagome is not familiar with the performance of this bow, so the first arrow is to test the arrow trajectory, and the second arrow is the real level."

It turned out that this was the case. Li Xiaoyi suppressed it and continued to watch Ming Yanwei's movements.

Seeing that she actually took out three arrows from the quiver this time and clamped them between her fingers, Li Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed and he said: "What does she want to do?"

Fu Ling also opened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise: "Could it be..."

Ming Yanwei closed her eyes, then opened them suddenly after two or three seconds. While opening her eyes, she pulled the string with her right hand three times in quick succession.

Then the bowstring was heard to sound "boom boom boom" three times in a row. When everyone present turned their attention to the target, all three arrows had been inserted into the bullseye and formed a standard triangle at the bullseye.

Poria exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is the legendary chain of arrows. I never thought that there are people in this world who actually master this kind of archery. Miss Kagome is so powerful."

Li Xiaoyi was speechless, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his eyes. He did not become angry with embarrassment, but felt his face heat up.

After all, he is not a narrow-minded villain, he just cares too much about Poria cocos, so he cannot tolerate others saying anything wrong about her.

At this moment, Ming Yanwei proved herself with her true ability and slapped him in the face, but he had nothing to say.

After Ming Yanwei shot these three stunning arrows, she walked to her residence as if nothing had happened.

When he passed by Li Xiaoyi, he threw the long bow back to him without saying another word or even looking at him.

Poria looked at Ming Yanwei with admiration and asked, "Miss Kagome, can I learn archery from you?"

Ming Yanwei, who had her back turned to Fuling, curled her lips, her face full of disgust, and said lightly without looking back: "Not interested."

Poria hit a snag, looked at Li Xiaoyi with aggrieved face, and said: "Xiao Yijun, have I ever offended Miss Kagome?"

Li Xiaoyi felt heartbroken when he saw this, and quickly comforted him: "No, it's just jealousy."

"She is jealous of your beauty and jealous that you are loved by everyone, so she dislikes you everywhere."

"Besides her ability to shoot arrows, what else can she do to compare with you?"

After hearing this, Fuling no longer felt aggrieved, and said hesitantly: "Is that so? But...Miss Kagome is also beautiful!"

Li Xiaoyi said flatly: "I'm far behind compared to you."

Ming Yanwei was not angry when she heard these words. She just sneered and murmured in a low voice: "Sad licking dog."

When she walked in front of Li Mu and others, she gently nodded to everyone as a greeting, and then went straight back to her residence.

Looking at her back, Li Mu sighed to Zheng Zha: "What a talent. It's a pity that she doesn't want to join the team, otherwise we would have another top-level combatant."

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what, please take more care of me this time around."

"Let her return to the main god's space alive first. Later, we will slowly understand her situation and find ways to arouse her desire for survival."

Everyone nodded. Although Ming Yanwei was not their teammate yet, she had the potential to become one, so the team members were still willing to take care of her.

Over there, Fuling also noticed the arrival of Li Mu and others, so she took the initiative to greet them and waved: "Good morning everyone, do you want to go out?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Yes, in order to maintain the best condition, we have to do morning exercises every morning. Xiaoyi, do you want to come with us?"

In fact, they knew that they were inside the shrine and the ghosts did not dare to invade, but they still wanted to get more rewards!

So they planned to deliberately wander outside the shrine to see if they could attract anything that could give them warmth.

Li Xiaoyi obviously knew this. Although he didn't expect to get a kill reward, even an assist reward would be good.

He also plans to work hard to save up a B-level side plot and 5,000 reward points so that he can exchange it for a reincarnation watch for Poria.

Even if you can't make it for a while, if you accumulate more reward points, you can come back to this world often and meet Poria cocos in the future.

So he said decisively: "Of course, I don't want to lag too far behind everyone, Poria. I'm going to go for morning exercise with everyone first. See you later."

Fu Ling nodded obediently and said, "Well, you go ahead, I'll prepare breakfast for everyone."

Li Xiaoyi looked at Poria cocos infatuatedly and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he took the particle gun from Zero Point, waved to Poria, and followed everyone out of the shrine.

Fu Ling took the arrows from the target and put them back into the quiver, returned to her room, put away her bow and arrows, and headed to the kitchen.

Since the arrival of Li Mu and the others yesterday, Granny Zelan has been preparing for the battle against Sadako and Kayako, preparing various magical weapons, materials, and talismans, and has no time to pay attention to other things.

Her method is different from Li Mu and others, and Poria cocos has no spiritual power, so she can't help much, so she can only work alone.

Just when Poria entered the kitchen and was busy washing rice and washing vegetables, Qi Tengyi, Lu Renjia, and Xiao Bingyi walked into the kitchen.

"Miss Fuling, are you making breakfast? Do you need any help?"

When Fuling saw the three people coming, she asked curiously: "Akagi-kun, Sakuragi-kun, Rukawa-kun, didn't you go for morning exercise?"

Qi Tengyi smiled and said: "No, it's hard for you to prepare breakfast for so many people, right? We're here to help you."

Fu Ling said happily: "That's great. Can Akagi-kun cut vegetables?"

Qi Teng nodded and said, "Of course I will."

Fu Ling pointed to the pile of carrots and daikon that had been washed on the chopping board and said, "Akagi-kun, please cut those radishes into shreds. I'll make miso soup for everyone."

"OK."

"Sakura-kun, please light the fire. The rice can start steaming."

"oh."

"Rukawa-kun, the water tank is almost out of water. Could you please fetch some water?"

"no problem."

Fuling arranged things for the three of them, while she squatted beside a large wooden basin and washed the newly soaked kelp, which was also one of the ingredients for making miso soup.

Qi Teng stood next to the wooden table with the chopping board, picked up the pointed kitchen knife and started chopping vegetables.

Lu Renjia sat in front of the earthen stove and used a hatchet to chop the long branches into wooden sticks, preparing to light the fire.

It's just that Fu Ling didn't notice that when the two of them looked at her from behind, there was a cold light and murderous intent in their eyes.

…

Outside the shrine, Zhang Qin asked Li Mu: "Where are we going?"

Li Mu shrugged and said, "Let's just go shopping and hit a shot if you have dates or not. What if you encounter a reward package?"

"Hehehe..."

Everyone chuckled when they heard this. Zheng Zha laughed and said: "The reward package is too much. Even if you play the game and defeat the BOSS, you still have to lose some HP!"

Li Mu said matter-of-factly: "So everyone still has to be more vigilant. Let's try to only consume MP and not lose HP."

Zhang Jie was speechless. The ghosts in these neon urban legends were all so-called unsolvable horrors, and they could destroy the Samsara Team at every turn.

But when he arrived at Li Mu's place, he immediately became the BOSS who came to deliver rewards. Who could he ask to reason with?

While walking, Li Mu remembered something, slapped his head and said, "By the way, I forgot something."

After saying that, he took out his and Zhang Qin's mobile phones from the Qiankun bag and handed Zhang Qin's to her.

Zhang Qin took the phone and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "If there is no mobile phone, how can Miss Mimiko get on the line with us?"

Zhang Qin was still wondering who Mimiko was, but Zhan Lan suddenly said: "Are you talking about Mimiko Mizunuma in "The Ghost Calls"?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Isn't it her? If nothing else, she should be a ghost king-level evil spirit on the same level as Sadako and Kayako, and maybe even stronger."

"A conservative estimate is that it is worth a B-level side plot, 5,000 reward points, and the assist reward alone is equivalent to killing a Sadako clone or Hanako."

Zhan Lan said hesitantly: "If Hanako has space ability, then Mimiko has time ability, which is more difficult to deal with than space ability."

"And she also has strong mental power, which may not be inferior to mine. In addition, she has the ability that belongs to ghosts. Are you sure you can deal with her?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said: "We are sure. With the combat effectiveness of our team, there should be no problem in dealing with B-level ghosts. Unless there are A-level ghosts, it will be a bit dangerous."

"Zheng Zha's third level of Blood God's magic is just as powerful as the Blood Marquis. You know, the Blood Marquis is already an A-level bloodline."

After listening to what he said, Zhan Lan nodded slowly and said: "Okay, let's see if Mimiko will come to the door!"

After saying that, she also took out a mobile phone from her Qiankun bag, which she usually used to watch movies or watch movies, but now it came in handy.

Everyone was walking and chatting when suddenly, a scream came from far behind, causing everyone to stop in their tracks and suddenly look back in the direction of the shrine.

At this time, they were less than 100 meters away from the shrine. The scream was extremely high-pitched and shrill, but very short, much like the terrified scream before death.

Li Xiaoyi was horrified, and he exclaimed: "It's Fu Ling's voice, she is in danger."

Zhan Lan was the first to react, and her mental energy instantly reached into the shrine. Then her face changed drastically, and she said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Are they crazy?"

Li Xiaoyi grabbed Zhan Lan's shoulders anxiously and asked: "Sister Lan, what happened? Tell me quickly."

Zhan Lan looked at him with wide eyes and said in a stunned tone: "Qi...Qi Tengyi and the three of them...killed Fuling in the kitchen."

"What did you say?" Li Xiaoyi felt as if his head had been hit hard, and he staggered back a few steps, completely confused.

Li Mu frowned and asked Zhan Lan, "How are you?"

Zhan Lan said with an ugly face: "It's hopeless. His vest was stabbed with a sharp-edged kitchen knife. His heart should have been pierced. His head was slashed with a hatchet, and his brains came out."

Zheng Zha said incomprehensibly: "Why do they do this? Don't they like Poria very much?"

After listening to Zhan Lan's words, Li Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, he roared crazily, suddenly turned the particle gun on his back in front of him, and rushed towards the shrine.

"Wait a moment."

Zhan Lan raised his right hand to face Li Xiaoyi, pulled him back with the force of his mind, and exclaimed: "Qi Tengyi and Lu Renjia are screaming at this moment: It's Fu Jiang, she is Fu Jiang, that Fu Jiang."

Li Mu, Zheng Zha, Zhang Qin, Zhang Jie, Bawang, Mao Xiong and others all suddenly understood.

But Li Xiaoyi's mind was like a thunder, which suddenly woke him up.

Got it, totally got it.
