The Spirit World

Chapter 504 One Person's Countermeasure

Life cannot be repeated.

People can never escape from reality.

Whoever's son he is born into is his son.

The ups and downs in life do not exist in your world for no reason. From the shackles of your parents' generation to the grudges and hatreds of your ancestors, they will affect you all the time.

You said... Can three thousand palaces protect our history?

enough?

【Wenti County】

The closure of the city was not completed in an instant, but it was done almost in one go. From the reinforcement of the city walls of Wenti County, to the search of the moat, to the blockade of the street markets, all the people who were still in Wenti County were terrified.

This kind of panic really fell on everyone. At this time, everyone understood that the big event in Wenti County might not only be the murder of Duke Neymar by the suspected Shadow Hunter, but also other things that made the entire Eagle Team afraid.

Chang Yufeng's guess was correct. The closure of the city was fast enough. He and Lin'er were trapped in the city.

"Is there no way?" Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng at the city gate, which was even crowded with people who wanted to leave the city.

Unfortunately, no one got what they wanted. The guards strictly controlled the gates of Wenti County, and even put the gate lift on the top, down to the ground, intercepted by iron nets, and surrounded by barriers in the sky. If there were really shadow hunters, it would be almost impossible for them to escape.

Because of its importance, they want to catch it in the trap.

"There is no way... I checked... there is no way out of the city..." Chang Yufeng looked at the barrier under the sky, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, so much so that in the whole thing, his unique calmness made him look as calm as water, with no fluctuations in his heart.

"What should we do then?" Lin'er looked at the citizens who were huddled together and waiting anxiously. The carriages leaving the city were squeezed together, while the carriages coming in were sparse. They were sternly advised not to move forward.

"Remember the huge ice dragon we saw in the city that day?" Chang Yufeng found a place with few people and rested against the wall of the ancient city wall of Wenti County. He just wanted to take a short rest. For now, he must not let his guard down, otherwise he really couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen.

"Ice dragon? Is it the ice dragon that appeared on the day when Brother Yufeng injured his eyes? It has been chasing us... I was scared to death..." Lin'er was actually a little frightened when she thought of what happened that day. Chang Yufeng knew that Lin'er was strong enough, but judging from the fact that she had never thought of being hostile to the awakened ice dragon, there was still a gap between them.

"Yes... the situation now is even more serious than it was back then... the Ice Dragon's hostile method is very unique, so they let everyone in the city leave at a predicted time." Chang Yufeng looked at the noisy crowd. Most people were indignant being "locked" in the city.

He rubbed his chin in deep thought: "That is to say, the current situation is different from the last time. They should have felt that something had happened suddenly, so they sealed off the city in a short period of time to achieve the purpose of the best time to blockade. They came to find the shadow hunters, or... people who were infected by the evil spirit."

"Demonic infection..." Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng in fear. Demonic infection was no joke. Demonic infection was different from the plague that would kill people. It was a kind of "madness" that would drive people crazy. It would even infect all those who had been harmed by the demonic infected people. There was no antidote. Because this phenomenon would also occur in animals at the same time, those infected by demonic energy were collectively called monsters.

"If Wenti County is infected with demonic energy, most people may suffer... This kind of thing is terrible... As long as one person is found and is scratched by the demons by mistake, he will be assimilated into the monster. There is no antidote." Chang Yufeng nodded. He grabbed the lotus umbrella behind him, and his fingers moved quickly on the umbrella with his thumb as a ring, index finger as the axis, and the other three fingers as points: "If this is true, then we must go to an open place... In this way, we can prevent being scratched by monsters and avoid being infected by demonic energy. Not only that, we also have to prevent more people from being scratched by monsters. It will be bad if an irreversible situation occurs. At that time, the people in the whole city may become victims!"

After Chang Yufeng finished speaking, he raised his head in shock and looked at Lin'er, who had been listening attentively, in disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, as bright as the sun at that moment.

"What's wrong? Has Brother Yufeng thought of something?" Lin'er also looked into his eyes calmly when Chang Yufeng was shocked.

"Maybe my thoughts are too dark... I hope this is not the case..." Chang Yufeng shook his head and put his hand on his forehead.

His thought just now was too scary. It was that Longxu Gong might have encountered a special demonic person... Now he wanted to kill a thousand people by mistake, and he was unwilling to let one go...

This is really too cruel... This shouldn't happen.

"You are very smart... kid..." A woman's voice came into their ears, Chang Yufeng and Lin'er looked up and the woman in the black robe came into their sight. A strand of silver-white hair was shining silver in her robe. The woman covered her face with the hood of the black robe, but because of their height, Chang Yufeng and Lin'er could clearly see the woman's face from bottom to top. She was so beautiful, but her face was pale. She had a pair of eyes that were unique in the world - the red pupils and the brown-yellow pupils were combined, and there seemed to be a magic circle running inside.

Those were a pair of dry eyes, filled with a dead silence that did not belong to this world.

Chang Yufeng quickly stood in front of Lin'er. This woman must have heard his analysis. She said this, obviously agreeing with Chang Yufeng's point of view, including the terrible speculation that all the lives of the people in the city were lost.

"You're right. That's what Lord Longxu thinks... He's prepared to sacrifice everyone's lives... to catch someone infected with evil spirits. Or rather, a demon." The woman crossed her arms, her dead eyes emitting a red light. The terrifying eyes looked at Chang Yufeng, making Chang Yufeng feel a little creepy.

"However, they won't get what they want... because those people are too cunning..." The woman pulled the corner of her mouth with some disdain. She almost looked down at Chang Yufeng, which made her face look like a pointed chin in Chang Yufeng's eyes, making her look even more weird.

"However, in this matter, I agree with Longxu Gong's approach, but I don't agree whether it is correct for him to do so." The woman closed her eyes and said with some ease: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I saw that you were just thinking about how to get out of here, and I analyzed the situation just now and found it interesting, so I talked to you. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

Chang Yufeng had been standing behind Lin'er, looking at the woman in black robes. Generally, only magicians wear long robes. Magicians have a mysterious sense of the mysteries of all things, so wearing a black robe and a hat can make the magician look more powerful.

Although this is only a superficial phenomenon, it is understandable that magicians generally do not reveal their true appearance easily.

However, although she explained that she had just spoken unintentionally, Chang Yufeng still became alert.

If my guess is correct, now everyone trapped in Wenti County may be a hidden patient infected by the demonic energy, or the rumored shadow hunter.

This is too dangerous. Changyu's only thought at this moment is to take Lin'er to an open place, or a place where the crowd is not as concentrated as it is now.

"Which village are you from?" Chang Yufeng took a step back warily.

Lin'er also took a step back.

"It's a good thing to be a little alert... But if I wanted to hurt you just now, you would have been hurt by me long ago. Some things cannot be put the cart before the horse. Relax a little. With the strength of you children, it is really not enough... I said I have no ill intentions... I should have known it earlier." The woman did not answer Chang Yufeng's question, but shook her head gently, expressing her helplessness towards Chang Yufeng's vigilance.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything..." The woman sighed. She seemed to be waiting for someone. She would not leave and did not care whether Chang Yufeng was on guard against her or not.

But Chang Yufeng didn't think so at all. If there was only one possibility that he and Lin'er would get hurt, he would have to avoid it, even though it might be futile due to excessive tension.

However, he must be alert... He cannot face risks, or perhaps his current strength is too weak and his courage is too small. He cannot allow himself and Lin'er to be trapped in a "trap" or suffer tragic consequences due to his own mistakes.

The woman kept looking at Chang Yufeng's vigilant expression, and looked at Chang Yufeng with some helplessness. In those dead eyes, Chang Yufeng's face was so rosy, and there was Lin'er whose whole body was radiating golden light.

"It doesn't matter where I come from... I'm not from Wenti County Village... I've been traveling around the world, most of the time I live in Rastar... You're so smart, do you know Rastar? I'm from Rastar..." The woman, on the other hand, was frank: "To be honest, I think you're very interesting. Kids at this age usually play around, but you're different. You seem to be more... more concerned about protecting yourself... and you're very sensitive to other people approaching you. You must have read a lot of books at a young age, your parents taught you really well~" The woman looked at Chang Yufeng, and she became doting with interest, her eyes as if she was looking at a favorite baby.

Chang Yufeng kept looking at this pretty face. Even though the pretty face was not that pretty due to the height difference, this person gave him a very familiar feeling.

To the extent that he kept staring at her, Lin'er became a little scared.

Very, very familiar, especially, those eyes...

It’s like it’s engraved in my mind, but I can’t recall it for a moment.

"If this elder sister is praising my parents, then I am happy to accept your praise." Chang Yufeng spoke and changed his words to the woman.

Big sister, but this is a top-secret technique that Erica taught her.

If it's a female, she's her sister; if it's a male, he's his brother or uncle. In such a situation, anyone who has heard of it should be relieved. Good people will naturally be happy, and bad people, well... at least they won't be so cruel.

"Hahaha... you're so funny... to be honest, you remind me of my younger brother. He always taught me to be careful outside, and he himself is extremely cautious and will never allow anything to go wrong." The woman laughed, and a faint fragrance spread from her side to Chang Yufeng and Lin'er's noses.

This fragrance is soothing and extremely pleasant.

"If there's nothing wrong... let's leave..." Chang Yufeng was worried and it was not appropriate to chat here for so long. His own speculation made him scared enough, so this matter itself was something that needed to be done urgently in his world and could not be delayed for too long.

He knew clearly that he did not have the ability to predict the future, he could only make predictions, and these predictions came from his predecessors, or in other words, from his own experiences.

The results predicted by this experience are very scary and pessimistic, so in his current state, he must find a way to leave, or just hide.

"Of course it's okay... We are not familiar with each other... right..." The woman blinked at him, and her charming and lovely posture made her appearance more three-dimensional and more feminine.

"Let's go... I'm waiting for someone here too... Be careful of monsters, someone must be infected..." The woman reminded Chang Yufeng, but the reminder surprised him so much that he concealed his surprise.

This woman also knew the inside story.

No wonder he would talk to me. If a young boy could analyze the current situation so far-sightedly and understand it to some extent, then I would be willing to chat with him.

Chang Yufeng glanced at Lin'er, and Lin'er also looked at him firmly. If he wanted to save himself now, or escape from the terrible incident that had not yet begun, then he had to take action and check the places that he knew must have weak defenses to find a way out.

If that was the case, then he did have a place in mind, if that was safe.

That is, the secret passage that the two of them and the scout captain walked through, from the city gate to the central square of Wenti County.

If you can stay in the secret passage, then you may be able to reach the city gate, then jump down from the city gate and leave Wenti County.

This is the only possible method now.

Because of the existence of the barrier, the sky has been covered, so the only way to go is through the city gate.

"Let's go..." The woman smiled and asked them to leave.

Chang Yufeng took Lin'er's hand and left the area around the city wall without looking back, walking away from anyone else who might come into contact with him.

As luck would have it, the person the woman was waiting for seemed to come back just a few seconds after he left.

They were both wearing black robes, with wizard hoods covering their faces. One looked like a burly man, while the other was clearly a delicate female wizard.

Chang Yufeng was more cautious and stayed for a while, wanting to see who this woman was.

The woman was waving goodbye to him, and he slowly raised his hand to say goodbye.

He doesn't want to say goodbye in his current situation, but if others wave goodbye to you, he will naturally wave goodbye.

"Crow...are you ready..."

The burly man also crossed his arms and looked at the woman waving at Chang Yufeng.

After hearing her name, the woman turned to look at the burly man and said, "Master Red Eagle...if you are worried about what I am doing...you can just not bring me here...I have no objection..."

"Oh! At this time, you two are still angry with each other..." The petite magician seemed to be trying to stop the fight.

Chang Yufeng was a little puzzled when he heard the name Crow, but when he heard the name Red Eagle...his scalp felt like it was electrocuted, with goose bumps all over his forehead, back, and arms. He trembled and put down his waving arms...

His face froze, and he immediately turned around, pulling Lin'er, and ran quickly.

On the one hand, Lin'er was a little caught off guard as she ran at Chang Yufeng's strange appearance. On the other hand, Crow saw the person who had just waved goodbye to her running away, and she ran away helplessly. She looked at the backs of the two children who had already run away and smiled: "Children nowadays... are really... so smart. It would be great... but what a pity..."

"What's wrong, Crow?" The sparrow was curious when he saw the crow's helpless look.

"It's okay... I just feel... it's a pity..."

"What do you mean? Kids?" Red Eagle looked at the silhouettes of the two running away and asked, "Why is it a pity?"

The crow shook his head nonchalantly.

"Nothing. That kid seems to have figured out that there are monsters in this city... That's how Lord Longxu blocked the city... I just chatted with him for a while... He's pretty smart... isn't he? He even wants to leave here with his sister..."

"Such a clever kid... but he's hard to find..." Red Eagle turned around and looked up slowly along the city wall. The small cracks in the wall slowly climbed up and connected with the barrier, like a spectacular waterfall in a water moon cave under the sun.

"It's a pity indeed... Monsters don't care if they are children or not."
