Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

(ps: Chinese New Year is coming soon, have all the readers had a rest?)

Above the pool.

When the blood-red light burst out from the pool.

There was a muffled sound, and then a large pit two or three meters deep appeared on the ground on the east side.

And just after the muffled sound, the huge stone door closed.

As the white fog appeared, the shadow of the Ghost Gate became dimmer and dimmer.

Xiao Honglu and Li Xiao, who had been watching closely, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the familiar figure finally appear.

After looking at each other solemnly, the two men fished out Zheng Zha, who was covered in blood and unconscious in the pit.

After Li Xiao's inspection:
“It’s the aftermath of destruction.”

"It seems that this underworld is not easy either."

As Li Xiao spoke, he placed his hands on Zheng Zha's back, and the vampire energy in the mithril ring began to flow back into him.

Xiao Honglu took the two copper coins from Zheng Zha's hand:

"But fortunately it succeeded, otherwise it would have been a complete loss."

Both of them were very grateful as they spoke.

The others disappeared, probably because they entered the Jiuli Pot, but Zheng Zha was the only one who looked so miserable.

Although neither of them went in, it can be seen from this that the underworld is not a good place.

When I brought the unconscious Zheng Zha back to the room.

Jiale immediately restored the three souls and seven spirits of his two masters.

Because it was already early morning.

If it's a little later in the evening, I'm afraid we can order a coffin and hold the funeral, and then start the dinner.

As the copper coin vibrated, the red rope tightened.

The last human soul finally returned to its place, and at the same time, the sky turned pale.

After a thrilling night, Jiale sat down on the ground after seeing this scene.

Without saying a word, he closed his eyes, lay down and fell asleep.

There's no way, this night is really too torturous.

Compared to Jiale, Jingjing still has some spirit.

After a simple cleanup.

"Ah, what is going on?"

Jingjing pointed at Zheng Zha's body in surprise while holding the cloth.

Li Xiao looked over when he heard the sound and saw that it was Jingjing who had just wiped the open wound on Zheng Zha's body.

As a result, just after wiping it clean, the wounds actually bit each other in front of her and then recovered as before.

This incredible scene made Jingjing scream out in surprise.

After Li Xiao explained, Jingjing nodded doubtfully.

I believe that this is a level that a normal person can reach through cultivation.

Although she knew that she was most likely being fooled, Jingjing still marveled that there were such magical people in the world.

Zheng Zha, who was carried back by Li Xiao, was covered in wounds.

As a result, after one morning, all the injuries visible to the naked eye on his body had completely healed.

If it weren't for the bloodstains on the clothes next to her, Jingjing would probably have thought she was seeing things.

After Jingjing changed Zheng Zha's clothes, she asked carefully:
"Senior Li, what about the other seniors?"

"If you haven't come out of hell, you won't..."

At this time, Xiao Honglu came from behind:

"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, they are all fine."

"As for where it is, you will know when Zheng Zha wakes up."

"Jingjing, you should also go and have a rest. Jiale has fainted from exhaustion."

"You're probably tired too, right?"

Jingjing lowered her head and looked at Jiale, who was sleeping soundly with a tired face.

I knew in my heart that it was more than just tiredness, it was fear.

But Jingjing didn't plan to tell anyone, because Zhao Yingkong was in the room next to them at that time.

At this time, Jingjing really didn't know who this person was?
After Jingjing carried Jiale out, Xiao Honglu spoke:

"Zheng Zha has done experiments in the Lord God Space. If there is no Lord God to treat it, and it only relies on its own recovery, it will take five or six days to have the ability to fight."

"If he wakes up, it will probably take a while."

Li Xiao nodded:

"The life potion conflicts with Zheng Zha's bloodline. The other restorative items and the Golden Sun Sutra are in the hands of Zheng Zha and Cheng Xiao."

"After releasing the others, with Cheng Xiao's magical golden needle, they may be able to recover after a day or two of rest."

"Hopefully, the plot won't come so soon."

Xiao Honglu nodded:
"It can only be the."

"By the way, where is Zhao Yingkong?"

Li Xiao replied: "I have been guarding the bodies of Simu and Ikkiu."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other helplessly, and finally closed their eyes and began to recover.

The whole morning passed like this.

At this time, Jiale, who had just woken up, walked in from outside and said happily:
"Two seniors, my master and Master Ikkyu are awake and they are coming over."

Li Xiao nodded and found out at this time:
"Hey, Jiale, why are your clothes all wet?"

When Jiale heard this, his expression froze, then he said with a smile:

"I was too tired last night, and then I had a nightmare and broke out in a cold sweat."

"Jingjing too, she just went to change her clothes."

Li Xiao followed and said casually:

"Then you should change one too."

After a while,
Master Ikkyu and Taoist Simu stood in front of Li Xiao and Xiao Honglu with guilty looks on their faces.

"Amitabha, my two Taoist friends, thank you for saving my life no matter what."

"I, little monk, feel unworthy of this!"

After Ikkyu finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Taoist Simu also said sincerely: "You two, and Zheng Zha, this time it's all thanks to you,"

"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life!"

"Otherwise, if Ikkiu and I die like this, I'm afraid we'll become a joke among our fellow apprentices for the rest of our lives."

"It's our fault that you took such a big risk to save us this time."

"In the end, it was a life for a life. It was really wrong to let two fellow Taoists sacrifice their lives."

Hearing this, Li Xiao and Xiao Honglu looked at each other in confusion.

No one knew what had happened, but no one asked. After all, Zheng Zha would know after he woke up.
-
Outside.

Jiale, who had just changed his clothes, jumped up and down and wanted to find Jingjing.

But as soon as I entered the yard, I saw a figure that looked like a girl.

His steps slowed down for a moment, and then he turned around.

Then turn around again.

Because just when Jiale turned around, the figure who was more than ten meters away suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Jiale had to turn around again, pretending nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

At this time, the door opened, and Jingjing was delighted to see Jiale, but before she could show it on her expression, she saw another presence.

"Zhao, Senior Zhao."

Jiale only felt that he blinked his eyes, and the Senior Zhao that Jingjing mentioned came to Jingjing's side.

Zhao Yingkong put his lips close to Jingjing's ear and blew air into it and said:
"Didn't I tell you that when they're not around, just call me sister?"

"Also, remember our agreement."

After saying "Zhao Yingkong" he winked at the two of them.

There was a squeak.

The window next door was pushed open, and Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong were stunned when they saw Jiale and Jingjing standing stiffly face to face across from them.

But he still shouted:

"What are you doing? Come over to eat."

After saying that, Li Xiao pulled Zhao Yingkong to sit at the dinner table.

whispered:
"Yesterday, Xiao Honglu and I went to the pond. What happened there?"

Zhao Yingkong frowned and shook his head:
"No, I have been keeping an eye on the surroundings and have not found anything wrong."

Li Xiao rubbed his chin: "Could it be that these two are in love?"

"That's not right. In the original book, there was just a crush on each other, and nothing else happened to advance the relationship."

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving together, Zhao Yingkong and Li Xiao were both confused.

But the two didn't take it seriously.

After all, no matter what kind of horror movie it is, there are always emotional scenes, and they have nothing to do with them.

Zheng Zha almost recovered and woke up at noon the next day. The first thing he did was to release Qi Teng and the others from the Jiuli Pot.

Because of Zhu Wen, everyone in Jiuli Pot knew what was going on.

However, Xiao Honglu and Li Xiao, who were completely unprepared, stared at each other for a long time before they came to their senses.

"Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan actually!!!"

"this!!!"

Everyone was sighing.

Li Xiao was even more dumbfounded.

In addition to the reason just mentioned, there are also two special items: war shackles and the ability to change teams.

You know, there are indeed props like this in the original work, but the Zhongzhou team has never encountered it once.

As a result, we actually met in this horror movie.

In the original timeline, the one who used the Reincarnation Card to switch teams was Luo Yinglong from the God Team.

And now such props actually appeared in the sight of the Zhongzhou team?

And it seems like everything is caused by me?
A special side quest that can only be unlocked by consuming a B-level side story?

In Li Xiao's daze, time passed day by day.
-
half a month later.
-
August 1st.

Next to the pond.

Five people sitting on the shore swung their fishing hooks at the same time.

After a perfect parabola, it landed in the center of the pool.

The five fish hooks had been in the water for only three seconds, and the water hadn't even calmed down yet.

The five people next to it tacitly exerted force with their arms and lifted it up.

Five freshwater fish as thick as arms were caught just by wagging their tails.

Li Xiao put the fish into the fishing net.

Then I cast the rod again and caught another black fish within a few seconds.

Crucian carp, carp, Qingjiang fish, and perch were all caught by the people present in different ways.

A few minutes later.

Li Xiao, Zheng Zha, Xiao Honglu, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Xiao put the fish back into the fishing net.

Zheng Zha next to Li Xiao clapped his hands!
He shouted with joy:
"Okay, this level is fine, hahaha!"

"But we agreed to keep it a secret. When we return to the main god space, we will invite Chu Xuan to come here to fish. I will definitely regain my title of the little prince of fishing."

As he spoke, Zheng Zha seemed to have thought of some scene and laughed again.

"When the time comes, Chu Xuan will be shocked. I can already imagine Chu Xuan's face full of question marks, hahahaha."

Li Xiao and Xiao Honglu put away their fishing rods, nodded and were in a very good mood.

The five people walked to an old locust tree behind them and patted the short but sturdy tree with satisfaction.

Li Xiao looked at the locust tree spirit that was shaking all over and couldn't help but laugh.

original.

Later, under Cheng Xiao's treatment, Zheng Zha recovered completely on the third day.

Everyone who recovered quickly adjusted their mindset and didn't worry too much.

After all, that was Chu Xuan.

And the most important thing is that the departure of these two people will not affect the current strength of the Zhongzhou team.

After all, it’s not a war mission or a team battle.

Just like that, the next half month was planned by Chu Xuan and Xiao Honglu.

The entire Zhongzhou team was divided into four small teams, with Ikkyu and Simuyuan in the center and they began to clear out the ghosts from the ghost world in the four directions of east, west, south and north.

I once again killed all the nearby ghosts and got some bonus points and side stories.

After that, I completely entered the leisure mode.

After all, because of the Ghost Month, all the monsters and demons that could come out came out, and the Zhongzhou team that couldn't come out couldn't be found without Zhan Lan.

In fact, there are some famous ones, some even widely circulated.

Xiao Honglu rated those side plots as at least B or even A level.

But the distance was too far, so everyone had to give up.

I began to wait patiently for the real plot to unfold.

This wait lasted for half a month.

But after having time.

Starting with Xiao Honglu, everyone in the Zhongzhou team went to chat with the locust tree spirit beside the pond one by one.

Originally they wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, but this tree demon was protected by Taoist Simu and Master Ikkyu.

Although the locust tree spirit was the culprit who sent them to the underworld, in their words, this locust tree spirit was actually a good monster.

So after half a month of friendly and peaceful coexistence.

Just two days ago, Li Xiao finally discovered a fact, that is, the rhino monster he killed was actually the scapegoat.

It turned out to be this tree spirit that had the ability to control water, and it was not discovered by Li Xiao because of its natural concealment.

However, it was in this way that Li Xiao and Zheng Zha finally discovered a hidden use of the tree spirit.

That's fishing cheating!!

For example, just now, it looked like five people were fishing.

In fact, the tree spirits under the pond are almost going crazy with work.

One or two people is okay.

Five people fishing together, each using their own "hands" to catch fish one by one, if this is not torturing the tree, then what is this? ——
I am a tree.

An old locust tree that is willing to help others.

They said I was a good demon, so they didn't kill me.

But it started to torment me.

They inhumanely made me hang the fish.

They come here every day, saying it’s some drill but they’re just torturing me.

I want to walk, but I am a tree. Although I am born with great powers, I do not have the ability to move.

I want to talk to someone, but the Ghost Festival just passed and I don’t even have anyone to chat with…
-
"Thank you, Lao Huai. We're done for today. We'll come again tomorrow."

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, Li Xiao and the others walked down the mountain, chatting and laughing.

Qi Teng, who did not participate in torturing the tree demon, chanted "Amitabha" and followed the main force.

At this time, the six flying swords with their tips pointing downwards above the locust tree seemed to have been summoned and turned around.

Just follow Li Xiao's pace.

The sturdy locust tree then shook, and a few leaves fell down, making it look particularly miserable and pitiful.

The traffic on the rice paddies, the chicken and the dog hear each other.

Early in the morning, the chickens and ducks inside the fence came out of their nests and started to move around.

Although half a month had passed since Jiale scattered a handful of millet, he still couldn't help looking back frequently.

I secretly looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the eaves, motionless.

Jingjing came over carrying a wicker basket.

"Look, keep looking. Senior Chen Zilong will practice with you again soon."

Jiale whispered:
"Without eating, drinking, sleeping or moving, Senior Chen can survive by drinking a little wind every day."

"Isn't this any different from becoming an immortal?"

Jingjing's eyes rolled: "Humph, no matter how powerful you are, you are still ridden by Sister Zhu!"

Jiale looked at the figure above his head and nodded seriously.

After spending these few days together, Jiale and Jingjing have gained a basic understanding of the Zhongzhou team.

"By the way, Senior Li and the others went fishing again?"

Jiale nodded:

"There we go again. I don't know where the seniors get all the energy from."

"It will probably be noon again."

Jingjing felt helpless after hearing this.

But after saying this, the two of them gave each other a tacit look.

The girl walked around the center of the courtyard, where she had been standing still, and began to tiptoe out.

But at this time.

"hurry up………"

"There is a village ahead..."

Listening to the shouting coming from afar.

Jiale and Jingjing looked up.

Taoist Master Simu and Master Ikkyu, who were both very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, also stood up and walked out of the house.

I saw a team of officials in official uniforms pushing a huge four-wheeled wooden cart.

And on the wooden cart was a copper coffin shining with golden light.

After seeing clearly, the four people looked at each other. (End of this chapter)
