Zhiniang probably didn't notice Lao Bai at all until I stood still.
"You want to save him?"
Zhiniang pulled me to one side, speaking quickly, her face stiffened by the shattering showed obvious anxiety, and she whispered quickly: "Are you crazy? There are two powerful ones here. If you really provoke them, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
"Oh my..."
Lao Bai saw that I didn't move for a long time, and then he hummed loudly again: "The world is dangerous, and people's hearts are in chaos! Conscience, conscience?"
"Do you think we can leave if we don't save him?"
I shrugged and smiled bitterly: "This is a complete street rogue who doesn't even let a bird go. If we really have the heart to leave him here, we will be killed immediately, and no one will survive!"
Zhiniang's pretty face turned cold, and she glanced at Lao Bai with a sinister look, muttering: "I'll kill him. He's just a piece of meat hanging there for sale. I'll act quickly and cut his neck directly. As long as the price is right, the slutty fox probably won't say anything, so you don't have to show up."
This is a decisive person. Once she makes up her mind, she will turn around and leave.
"Hey, wait!!"
I hurriedly grabbed her. Although Lao Bai's stinky mouth is quite annoying, he came here for my business after all. It's okay if I don't save him, but how can I let Zhiniang kill him to protect myself!
Under Zhiniang's attention, I hesitated for a moment, gritted my teeth and said, "Forget it, I appreciate your kindness, but... I want to stay alive, but I can't live in obscurity. You should leave it alone, I'll try!"
After that, I ignored Zhiniang's gloomy face, took off the Tianguan Blade, covered it with a cloth, held it in my arms, and quietly moved towards those ghosts with my head shrunk.
To be honest, even I don't know where the courage came from. I was pushing and shoving with these ghosts and monsters, as calm as if nothing had happened. In fact, I knew better than anyone that if I was exposed, I would be eaten alive, and that steaming pot would be my grave, but I did it. In this era where you can stab your brother at any time and will not be condemned, I did a stupid thing of shouldering the moral responsibility.
At this time, the big man who had been groping on Lao Bai's butt seemed to have finally made up his mind. He slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Okay, it's a deal. I want both of these two back seats, but I have to cut them myself. You, a vixen, have never been decent. You often cheat on weights."
As soon as the deal was done, the vixen immediately laughed tenderly, which was completely different from her previous fierce appearance. Her two big eyes were watery and she said tenderly: "Brother Xiong, look at what you said. What kind of relationship do we have? I can cheat anyone but you, right?"
This brother Xiong was strong and muscular, and he was probably a bear spirit. Only such a monster would be so keen on blood food. He didn't know what price he paid. His face was very ugly. He snatched the knife from the vixen with a curse, gestured back and forth in front of Lao Bai, and finally slapped Lao Bai's butt with the back of the knife.
Seeing that the other party was about to attack, Lao Bai got anxious and yelled: "Wait, I have to pee!"
The bear spirit paused and grinned: "When you eat us, you don't care about shit and urine..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai's crotch was already wet, dripping to the ground.
He... actually peed like this.
"It's said that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Lao Bai was not ashamed at all, but grinned and laughed triumphantly: "Haha, what's the matter, big brother, can you eat it without washing it? Don't you think it's smelly?"
The bear spirit's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The things surrounding here probably had never seen such a shameless practitioner. In order to delay his death, he even used such a trick. For a moment, they were all dumbfounded, and laughed loudly after a while.
"It's not like I haven't eaten it before..."
The bear spirit was furious and took the knife to chop!
"Wait!"
Lao Bai yelled again, glancing at me, urging me to hurry up, and shouted: "I want to poop!"
This time the bear hesitated...
He saw how shameless this master was, and was probably really worried that Lao Bai would poop out his pants pocket, and then he would not be able to eat even if he was not polite.
While these two were in a stalemate, I squeezed out of the crowd.
In fact, if the bear was not so impatient, I really didn't want to show up so quickly. I had to observe, right?
Now I was completely forced to go ahead. If I really stood up, I would be watched by a large circle of gloomy eyes. I didn't know what to say. In the end, I forced a smile towards the seductive woman: "Sister, I am also very optimistic about the things you sell. Can I take all of them? This thing will be meaningless if it is really cut into pieces."
When the seductive woman heard this, she immediately threw down the grindstone in her hand. Her charming eyes looked at me almost without blinking. After a while, she hesitated and said: "This boy is unfamiliar?"
What you fear is really what will come true!
I was nervous when I was stared at by this foxy girl, but I still forced a smile and said, "The officials in the underworld are always too busy. Don't they have to have a few fish caught in the net come to our place every day?"
"That makes sense."
The foxy girl smiled: "But, little brother, my sister's goods are not ordinary goods. Can you afford it?"
"I want it!"
A cold voice came from outside the ghost tide. Zhiniang squeezed in expressionlessly, staring at the foxy girl and raised her eyebrows: "What? Do you look down on my slave?"
"What are you talking about, sister?"
The foxy girl seemed to see through Zhiniang's depth and said, "If you are the buyer, then I will be relieved. With your skills, you don't need these little things!"
The bear spirit saw this posture and immediately became anxious, shouting, "Fox spirit, what do you mean? I came here first!"
The foxy girl was playing a trick, smiling charmingly one second, and then frowning the next, and looked at the bear spirit with a sinister look.
The bear spirit seemed to be quite afraid of the foxy girl, and shrank his head without saying anything. Instead, he threw the knife in front of me with a clang, and angrily said, "Cut it yourself!"
"Cut it?"
I hurriedly said to the foxy girl, "I want the whole thing, not to kill it!"
The foxy girl and the bear spirit looked at each other and immediately laughed, and the laughter was extremely rampant.
"After all, he is new here!"
An old ghost lady wearing a shroud and leaning on a cane squinted her eyes and said, "Everyone knows that it is better for a living cultivator to be alive than to be dead, but no matter how great the benefit is, it cannot be greater than the rules of the Mountain Ghost King in this small piece of land. He has long made an iron rule that all cultivators must be killed!"
The old ghost lady had no teeth in her mouth, but when she said the word "kill", her upper and lower lips clapped "click-click-click" and it was more powerful than gritting teeth. I could feel the murderous intent.
My heart sank slightly, and I subconsciously looked up at Lao Bai, but I saw that he was just pursing his lips at me. I was moved, so I bent down and picked up the knife from the ground, and said angrily, "Let those who die die, I'll cut them now!"
Having said that, I had already made up my mind to fight to the death, and when I walked in front of Lao Bai, I finally saw the clue.
On Lao Bai's belly was a blood-red mantis, about the length of an adult's palm, with two large knives piercing through his clothes and directly into Lao Bai's flesh.
Lao Bai pouted at the mantis and rolled his eyes, and I roughly understood what was going on.
I said that Lao Bai was a man, but why was he hung here and couldn't even struggle? The reason was this mantis.
I remember there was a kind of mantis that lived in a coffin and fed on corpses. It was blood-red all over and was called the Blood Knife Mantis. The two knives of this thing were poisonous and could paralyze people's nerves. If the two knives pierced into the flesh, even a horse would be unable to move. However, this poison was not fatal. As long as the two knives were pulled out, he could move normally in an instant.
The thing on Lao Bai's belly should be the legendary Blood Knife Mantis. It was this thing that held it!
Lao Bai's meaning was clear as day. Let me get rid of this thing and don't worry about the rest.
"Wait a moment!!"
At this time, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and a thing covered in a black robe in the ghost tide, which was hard to tell whether it was a ghost or a demon, was approaching me step by step.
When this thing appeared, I saw Zhiniang tremble all over and became obviously nervous!
Oops! I was discovered!
I secretly cried out in my heart that it was not good. This should be the powerful character that Zhiniang said, but I was already close to Lao Bai, how could I listen to him?
It happened in a flash. I reached out with one hand and crushed the blood knife mantis to death in my hand. Blood spurted out, and at the same time I rushed directly to the bear spirit...
If there was anyone who posed the greatest threat to me at this time, it must be this bear spirit. It was too close to me, only a few steps away. If I didn't kill it, it would kill me in the blink of an eye! !
