Sister, stay away from me

The misty swamp is full of purple miasma, and strangely shaped plants that look like internal organs are densely covered in the swamp, and groans from the plants can be heard from time to time.

Black sludge.

Coming to the side of the swamp, Hu Xiaoxiao pointed to it and said, "This is the swamp outside Qingqiu. Cross the swamp and you will be Qingqiu."

Looking at this swamp, Wang Huai felt a little headache.

Through the fog, Wang Huai could vaguely see the existence of land, but there were no vehicles in the swamp, and it seemed impossible to go there.

The air was filled with miasma, and if the dense miasma had any substance, it would make Wang Huai feel very dangerous.

Just as Wang Huai was thinking about how to get there, Hu Xiaoxiao, who was possessed by Duan, had already walked into the swamp, and then walked towards the opposite side step by step in the black mud.

Finding that neither Wang Huai nor Lin Qiushui moved, Hu Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you come here?"

"Sorry, I'm not like you, I'm not interested in this kind of dirty environment." Wang Huai said immediately.

"If you are willing to kiss me, junior brother, I'd rather carry you on my back." Lin Qiushui said while staring at the front.

"...Senior sister, if you are willing to be quiet for a while, maybe I will like you a little bit."

One sentence put Lin Qiushui into a shy state, Wang Huai took off his shoes and socks, and was about to step into the swamp for a test, when he saw Hu Xiaoxiao came back.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. There are strange things in this swamp, so it's normal for you to hesitate. Wait a minute, I'll go get something."

Hu Xiaoxiao searched for a while by the swamp, and finally brought back two strange mushrooms.

The two mushrooms are bright in color, and they are poisonous at first glance. They are the kind that can be eaten directly without rescue after eating.

After distributing the mushrooms to Wang Huai and Lin Qiushui one by one, Hu Xiaoxiao looked at them with a smile: "Eat it, why don't you eat it?"

Wang Huai stared at the mushroom in his hand: "Based on your attitude towards me, I have reason to suspect that you are trying to poison me to death."

"Ah, so I still have this hand! Wait, I'll give you another mushroom. Don't worry, if you can't eat it, it will only make you unable to wake up for a few days."

Although Hu Xiaoxiao seemed to be joking, Wang Huai always felt that the other party might really do this next time.

After hesitating for a while, Wang Huai finally closed his eyes and swallowed the mushroom in one go.

Different from the appearance, Wang Huai feels that the taste of mushrooms is very fresh, with the unique umami taste of mushrooms, and there is a feeling of unfinished taste after eating.

And after eating, Wang Huai found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed.

The swamp, which was still emitting a stench before, suddenly became the fragrance of birds and flowers.

The plants that were ugly like internal organs just now became beautiful lotus flowers in a blink of an eye.

Even the surrounding miasma becomes the fragrance of flowers, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

After both of them finished eating, Hu Xiaoxiao led the way, walked directly into the clear water, stepped on the ground and walked towards the opposite side.

Following Hu Xiaoxiao, Wang asked suspiciously: "What's going on, hallucination?"

"Almost. This strange object is called 'Daze', and it will affect the surrounding environment. People who enter the range of Daze, what do you think Daze looks like, it will be what it is."

"Believe first, then exist. There is such a strange thing."

"That's right, after obtaining Daze, the True Monarch of the Yaozu underwent a partial transformation, so that those who come into contact with Daze will only see all kinds of dirty and ugly things. Only those who truly believe in the beauty of Daze, or the Yaozu, can walk through it. Osawa."

Holding up a pool of water, Wang Huai found that the water was very clear, completely different from the muddy scene before.

"Then that mushroom is..."

"It's just poisonous mushrooms, which will make you hallucinate, and your emotions will become extreme. But your concentration is very good, you'll be fine for so long."

After all, Wang Huai had taken Pan Gu Lingye before, so he would be immune to some negative effects, but the positive effects could be preserved.

But Lin Qiushui on the side was not so calm.

She looked up at the sky, took Wang Huai's hand and said, "Look, the obscene clothes are flying in the sky."

"Senior sister, calm down, obscene clothes can't fly."

"Wow, there is a little junior sister tree over there, junior junior sister, little junior junior sister, junior junior sister without clothes, senior senior sister, senior junior sister..."

"The variety is quite complete, and what the hell is Senior Sister?"

While complaining about Lin Qiushui, Wang Huai walked forward.

Walking to the middle of the Daze, Wang Huai saw palm-sized figures jumping out from the lotus leaves around him. Each of them had a frog head and a human body, and they all looked exactly the same.

They held lotus leaves as umbrellas, looked at Wang Huai with big eyes in doubt, and then croaked like frogs.

"This is a frog monster. It's not strong enough, but it can reproduce very quickly. And it has no brains. It is one of the monster clans that Qingqiu can use."

Picking up a frog demon casually, Hu Xiaoxiao directly stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it in a few strokes.

Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao eat a monster casually, Wang Huai asked in shock: "Aren't you all monsters, why..."

"Is there a rule that monsters can't eat monsters?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

"...Not really."

"That's right, the monster clan has the rules of the monster clan, and you also need to pay attention here. Only monsters with intelligence have the right to monsters, and monsters without intelligence are similar to high-level domestic animals. Ah, that is an eel Demon, it's rare, just wait for me."

Hu Xiaoxiao jumped out excitedly, and came back with an eel in his mouth after a while.

After eating the eel demon a few times, Hu Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach in satisfaction: "This food is delicious, I can eat more."

Hu Xiaoxiao's actions reminded Wang Huai of the cat demon Liuli eating the blessing on his head.

Do monsters like to eat weird things?

But he also thought of some questions: "Hu Xiaoxiao, can humans eat monsters?"

"It's okay, but some monsters still have magic energy in their bodies, so we have to deal with it. What's wrong?"

"Well, you are now possessed by a certain person..."

Hu Xiaoxiao woke up like a dream, rubbed her beard and meditated for a long time, then tilted her head and said: "It's okay, I shouldn't die."

"Your definition of okay is really broad."

However, Duan has [Curse Misfortune into Fortune] after all, so it should be fine to eat a few monsters, and maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, and his strength will increase greatly.

After walking for half an hour, Wang Huai dragged Lin Qiushui, who was still talking nonsense, to the other side.

Walking ashore, Wang Huai felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Pieces of peach blossoms are in full bloom in front of you, and a small road passes through the peach forest, leading to the city in the center of the peach blossoms.

The splendid palace stood at the end of the road, with a luxurious and magnificent appearance, and white dragons shuttled around the palace, which looked even more magnificent than the capital of the Great Zhou Emperor.

"Qingqiu is so powerful!" Wang Huai was surprised again.

"How is it possible? It's all an illusion." Hu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Qingqiu is the headquarters of monsters. If it is broken and torn, what is your first reaction after seeing it?"

"Spit, turn around and leave."

"The monster thinks so too. Go ahead and you'll know. By the way, put this on."

Putting the jade pendant on Wang Huai and Lin Qiushui herself, Hu Xiaoxiao continued: "There is a demonic aura on this jade pendant, and some small demons will be deceived into thinking you are monsters. Big demons basically don't care, so don't worry."

After walking a few steps, Wang Huai saw a tiger monster approaching with a smile, and said to the three of them: "Ah, are you three new monsters? You really came to the right place. This big brother is mighty and wild. , at first glance, it looks like a wild boar has turned into a spirit, right? This one looks cute, she must be a flower demon, and this one is charming and generous, she must be a fox. Welcome to Qingqiu, a place where you don’t want to leave once you come.”

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Hu Zi, stop making trouble, it's me, Hu Xiaoxiao."

Huzi stared at "Duan" for a long time, and then nodded: "It's not me, Hu Xiaoxiao, why have you learned how to transform yourself recently. Look at how good this image is, it's no better than You used to watch the little girl's movies?"

"I really don't want to be told by a blind guy like you."

After knowing that the other party was Hu Xiaoxiao, Hu Zi also restrained his smile, rubbed his face and said, "I thought it was a new monster, but I didn't expect it to be you. Forget it, let's go in."

After dismissing Hu Xiaoxiao, Huzi saw another monster appearing again, immediately put on a smile and rushed towards him.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the other party that Wang Huai asked, "What does he do?"

"The one who pulls the monster, prevent the other party from running away after seeing the truth here, so make preparations first, and use the necessary means when necessary, and make sure to keep the other party."

Hearing this, Wang Huai felt a little unhappy.

A monster is a monster, and the way to keep a monster is so violent.

If it was him, if he wanted to keep people, he would have to offer a high salary and then solve life problems. He wouldn't mind being a matchmaker when necessary, as long as he could keep people.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't notice Wang Huai's displeasure, and still said to himself, "Don't think Hu Zi is so mighty, he is very good at keeping people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huzi cried miserably behind Wang Huai: "Brother, you can stay here, I will kneel down for you!"

"I won't get up if you don't stay!"

"Stay here, stay here, I'll knead the meat balls for you too, so you stay here!"

Turning his head and looking behind him, Hu Xiaoxiao said with emotion: "No matter how many times I listen to it, it will make people feel sincere and make the demon feel embarrassed to leave. Huzi's lower limit of self-esteem is extremely low, this is definitely his bounden duty."

"...All right, as long as you are happy."

The closer you are to the distant palace, the more blurred the shape of the palace.

Before coming to the palace, Wang Huai saw that the filter of the palace had completely disappeared, replaced by a towering spire.

The minaret is made of a mix of materials, and you can see all kinds of mud, branches, and clods of soil to build a peculiar minaret.

On the outside of the minaret, there are several winding steps. The construction of these steps is also arbitrary, and sometimes even spread to another room, and then protrude from the opposite side.

At the top of the minaret, is a giant clam.

Its clamshell opened, and mirage air was continuously expelled from it.

These mirages gushed out of the clam and enveloped the minaret, thus creating the illusion that green hills are everywhere.

Pointing to this huge steeple, Hu Xiaoxiao said proudly: "This is Qingqiu, the base camp of monsters."

Around the steeple is already a town, where monsters stand on two feet and trade with each other like humans, buying and selling goods.

However, because there are too many types of monsters, there will be disputes from time to time, and then they will fight each other, and the monsters next to them will not be surprised.

And to Wang Huai's surprise, there are also human races here, but the number is very small.

Raising his own question, Hu Xiaoxiao explained: "Some human races also pass through Daze, and they will come in to do business. Many rich people have a soft spot for monster meat, so they will ask someone to buy some precious meat. The eaten monsters go back, and then processed and eaten into the stomach."

"Desires are hard to fill." Wang Huai said with emotion.

There are many entertainment methods in Dazhou, but the rich have enjoyed all that they should enjoy, and the taste will develop in a more unique direction.

Moreover, some edible monsters are not only delicious, but also have unexpected effects after eating, so many rich people flock to them.

Leading Wang Huai into an inn, Hu Xiaoxiao specially ordered: "I'll go to contact the empress, don't move until I come back. The empress is still very busy, but I will persuade her to see you."

Looking at Hu Xiaoxiao, Wang Huai felt that although the other party's attitude was a bit harsh, he was quite enthusiastic.

Smiling and arching his hands, Wang Huai said, "Thank you, Miss Hu."

"Don't thank me, I'm all for the empress, who told the empress to like you. Why do good girls always meet scumbags, really."

While complaining, Hu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room and went to look for Ye Yuan inside the minaret.

Wang Huai watched the other party leave, then settled down Lin Qiushui, who was still in the hallucination, and then began to practice cross-legged, continuing to deconstruct the spell.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Huai was awakened by the noise.

Looking out the window, Wang Huai found that it was already dark at this time, and a huge bright moon hung in the sky, which looked extraordinarily magnificent.

The monsters on the street had already returned home, but there was another group of fox monsters walking on the street carrying sedan chairs, and they walked to the inn where Wang Huai was staying after a while.

Two foxes held the lantern, and another fox stepped forward and said to Wang Huai who was by the window, "Mr. Wang, my mother is here to invite you."

Knowing that it was someone sent by Ye Yuan, Wang Huai jumped out of the window and walked into the sedan chair led by a white fox.

After sending Wang Huai into the sedan chair, the white fox also got in, jumped on Wang Huai's lap, and said softly: "Hu Xiaoxiao has already told me everything, and I also think that the empress is not in the right state. But some monsters feel that the current empress is It's fine, I don't want you to see her. You don't talk later, hold your breath, and don't open your eyes until you see the blue light."

Wang Huaiyiyan nodded, followed Baihu's instructions, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The sedan chair was lifted, and then kept moving forward.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Huai finally felt that the sedan chair was put down, but the red light that had been agreed upon did not appear.

After waiting for a long time, Wang Huai felt that the sedan chair was opened, and a blue light appeared in front of his eyes.

Opening his eyes, Wang Huai realized that there were foxes all around him.

They are either playful, or teasing, or angry...

Among these foxes, Ye Yuan, who was wearing a water-blue robe, was sitting on a chair, looking at herself curiously.

"Ma'am, this person has been delivered. Do you know him?"

Ye Yuan looked at Wang Huai suspiciously for a long time, then shook her head: "I don't know him."
