Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 44 Weird Town

After Zhou Yuan's grouping, two inner sect disciples were assigned to one group each. Ye Lin was assigned to Zhou Yuan's group. Also assigned to his group were five outer sect female monks and three male monks.

After grouping, two small task teams were formed. The two teams gathered separately and began to introduce their situations and strengths to each other.

Zhou Yuandao: "First of all, let me introduce myself briefly. I have been practicing in Taixuan Sect for more than fifty years. I have practiced swordsmanship, swordsmanship, spells, and even body-building techniques."

Seeing everyone's expressions of surprise, Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "You don't have to envy me for learning a lot. In fact, I am forced to do it. If there are other choices, who would want to learn such a complicated thing."

"The fundamental reason is that my talent is mediocre and I am old. It is impossible to achieve a breakthrough unless I have a great opportunity. I have to spend my time learning various techniques to improve my strength."

"I hope you fellow juniors and juniors will not learn from me or come to my level. Senior brother, I have seen the end of my cultivation. I am crazy about performing tasks just to save enough merits and exchange them for a Jiazi Dan to add another Jiazi's life span." , maybe we can find further opportunities.”

Another female monk from the outer sect who was about forty or fifty years old and at the fifth level of Qi training smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, most monks are almost the same as senior brothers. In the world of cultivation, those who can break through the foundation building realm are the best. We call them "geniuses", but monks who cannot break through will be no different from ordinary people after a hundred years. They will grow old and frail and turn into a handful of loess. "

"I should be the second oldest in our group, so let me introduce myself for the second time. My name is Wu Lingjuan. In addition to the art of body training, I have dabbled in all aspects. I am best at earth spells. I can help everyone at critical moments. Provide protection.”

"It's my turn. My name is Zheng Haoran. I was a scholar before I entered the sect. I like to recite poems and paint. Although... there are no famous works yet, but there will definitely be ones in the future. I am good at sword techniques and sword control. I am professional in sword escaping. At critical moments, I can lead two teammates to escape..."

…

Basically, everyone in the team briefly introduced themselves according to their respective ages. The youngest was undoubtedly Ye Lin, who had just joined Taixuan Sect for more than a year.

He was only 15 years old at this time. Because of his handsome appearance, heroic temperament, and the appearance of a romantic young man, he was quite popular among the female senior sisters in the group.

Ye Lin said: "Brothers and sisters, I am not afraid of making you laugh when I say it. I am not good at swordsmanship or spells at the moment. I practice the art of body training. Since I am a disciple of Spirit Beast Peak, I also raise some poisonous insects." , if necessary, melee combat can provide support, and the poisonous insects also have certain combat capabilities."

"Junior brother, my cultivation is shallow, and my combat experience is not rich enough. I hope you, brothers and sisters, will take care of me. I would like to thank you in advance."

As he said that, the butt bug Xiaolan crawled from the cuff to Ye Lin's fingertips. Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they saw the butt bug. Some people had already held their breath and covered their nostrils. Xiaolan was so scared that Xiaolan gave them a hand on the spot. Demonstrate your ability to fart.

Zhou Yuan's reaction was the dullest. He said: "Junior Brother Ye has become an insect-controlling monk at such a young age. It's really rare. Hey, your name seems familiar. By the way, the one who was intercepted by the demon sect a year ago is Could it be that the only one who killed and escaped to heaven was the junior brother? I also heard that a handyman monk named Ye Lin was defeated by the Black Shark Club in front of the Chuan Gong Pavilion. Senior Brother Ren Wuya, one of the five geniuses of the Black Shark Club, even came to invite him in person. He joins..."

Ye Lin said calmly: "It's my junior brother."

Everyone seemed to have remembered the rumors about Ye Lin, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Unexpectedly, in just one year, Junior Brother Ye has already entered the third level of qi training, became a senior outer disciple, and learned how to raise spiritual insects. Junior Brother Ye is extremely talented, which is really enviable." Zhou Yuan sighed.

Practicing three levels of qi in one year is not a world-shattering achievement, but it is already considered a very good cultivation speed.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. At first they thought he was the weakest among them, but now they couldn't help but look at him highly.

There are not many people who can be noticed by the five geniuses and personally invited.

The most outrageous thing is that ordinary monks tried every means to get involved with the five geniuses, and some even spent countless spiritual stones just to become familiar with them. However, Ye Lin did not hesitate to reject Ren Tianya's olive branch at that time.

After the introduction, Zhou Yuan arranged the combat formation. Although Ye Lin introduced himself as being good at close combat and having learned the physical training technique, he had the lowest cultivation level and the youngest age, so he was placed in the center of the team, where he could be attacked. Protection from teammates on both sides.

After all, in everyone's impression, body training is extremely difficult to practice, and even those who have achieved a little success can hardly resist the magic weapons and spell attacks of high-level monks. And since Ye Linyou is good at driving spiritual insects, the spiritual insects can move quickly, no matter what they are. No matter where you stand, it will not affect the attack of the spirit insect.

Ye Lin discovered that after leaving the sect, the monks in Taixuan Sect were more united and harmonious than within the sect. Under the new sect rules, everyone lacked security and trust, but after leaving the sect, they all considered themselves to be a family, together. Working together to complete the mission became the only goal.

This also stems from the sect rules. Mutual challenges can only be witnessed by law enforcement team disciples within the sect. The new sect rules will not take effect outside the sect.

The flying speed of the high-grade flying boat is also much faster than that of the middle-grade flying boat. Half a day later, the flying boat slowly landed from the clouds. At this time, Ye Lin and others were already far away from Taixuan Sect, and even the endless and huge Xunlong Mountains were just on the horizon. A dark shadow.

Under the flying boat, there is an endless plain area, and the flying boat is speeding towards a small town.

The location of this mission, Paoma Town, Baiyun County, has arrived!

The atmosphere on the flying boat became slightly solemn. Everyone stood on the side of the ship, pouring mana into their eyes, releasing spiritual light in their eyes, and using their magic eyes to observe the terrain and specific conditions below.

The monk's Dharma Eyes can observe demonic aura, bloody aura, demonic aura, and ghost aura within a certain range. This is the most common investigation method in the mission of slaying demons.

Under normal circumstances, when you arrive near the mission location, you can accurately find the things causing trouble as soon as you open your eyes, and then surround and kill them.

But this time, even Zhou Yuan, who had the highest level of cultivation, did not notice anything unusual.

Ye Lin also opened his Dharma Eye. After opening his Dharma Eye, his vision increased several times, and he could see the movement on the ground even when he was standing a thousand meters above the ground.

He saw many wild horses on the plains, and many herdsmen dragging their families with their families, fearfully carrying their luggage away from home in horse-drawn carts. He also found nothing unusual.

The monks frowned slightly.

There is no abnormality, but it feels endlessly weird, which makes everyone's heart lift!

They were even prepared to observe powerful monsters, but what they were most afraid of was that they couldn't find anything.

This will drastically increase the danger of this mission.

Because unknown enemies, enemies whose whereabouts cannot be determined, are the most terrifying.

Zhou Yuandao: "Everyone, remember to maintain your image as an immortal. Let's go down and question these passers-by who left Paoma Town. We may be able to get key information from them."

"clear."

As the height of the flying boat continued to decrease, the mortals who were fleeing on the road finally discovered the fairy treasures in the sky. They quickly stepped out of the carriage and knelt down on the ground with extremely excited expressions.

"The Immortal Sect sent the flying boat here. The Immortal Sect has not forgotten us. Everyone is saved!"

"Everyone, come down quickly and pay homage."

When the flying boat dropped to a height of more than ten feet, Zhou Yuan led Ye Lin and his team to slowly float down from the sky using the ability of volleying. Another team of inner disciples was responsible for guarding the flying boat.

"Greetings to the Immortal!"

Dozens of herdsmen with their families kowtowed to Ye Lin and his party.

"We are here under the order of the sect to thoroughly investigate and eliminate the evil spirits. You don't need to be polite."

When Zhou Yuan raised his hand, everyone felt a gentle but irresistible force that made them stand up.

Zhou Yuan asked: "Are you from Paoma Town?"

One of the gray-haired old men said respectfully: "Reporting to the Immortal, we all come from Paoma Town. Our ancestors have lived in Paoma Town for generations and made a living by herding horses."

Zhou Yuan nodded: "Old man, please tell me about the strange things that have happened in Paoma Town in recent days. You must explain everything in detail. Don't leave out anything that you think is relevant."

The old man said: "Reporting to the Immortal, I don't know how many days ago this strange thing happened for the first time. At first, only some wandering beggars disappeared, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it. After all, beggars were weak and sick, and they often wandered around in other towns, and suddenly died. Being on the streets or completely missing is perfectly normal.”

"But one night just five days ago, five young strong men suddenly disappeared in the town. According to their wives' description, they were all still on the pillow before going to bed. When they woke up, they were gone. No matter how hard they searched, they could not be found. Any trace of it is like disappearing from the world.”

"A police officer from the town went to investigate and found no blood or signs of struggle in the room where they slept. Even the doors and windows were intact, but five living people just disappeared out of thin air!"

"Since then, at least five and up to eight people have disappeared every night, mostly strong men, and a few women and children. I heard that a few days ago... the two young immortals who came to investigate... Patrolled the town, but left without saying goodbye the next day and never came back.”

"Currently, dozens of people have gone missing in the town, especially families with strong men. They are all panic-stricken and are moving to surrounding towns. We also want to go to relatives' homes to take shelter for a while, and then come back when the town is peaceful. "

Zhou Yuan asked again: "Then what do you think might be causing the trouble?"

In this world, monsters and monsters are not uncommon. Generally, older people have seen them and have some experience.

The old man shook his head and let out a long sigh: "Reporting to the Immortal, no one has seen the true face of the perpetrator, and the old man has no clue."

Zhou Yuan nodded.

"We will do our best to find out and kill the culprits for the town. Don't worry, it won't take long for you to be back."

"Immortal has great virtue!"

Everyone knelt down and worshiped again.

After asking about the basic situation, everyone flew into the sky and entered the flying boat again.

Zhou Yuan shared the information provided by the old man with the monks of another team, and everyone started talking about it.

Zhou Yuan guessed: "It can make people disappear out of thin air without making any sound or signs of struggle, and most of the people who disappear are strong men with abundant energy and blood. It is most likely caused by evil ghosts who like to swallow Yang Qi, but the evil spirit of evil ghosts It’s extremely heavy and shouldn’t be invisible to the Dharma Eye.”

The captain of the other team, the female nun from the inner sect, said: "There may also be a snake demon who knows the art of transformation. The snake demon likes to swallow living creatures. It first shrinks its body and gets in through the hole in the house, and then transforms into a snake while people are sleeping. He swallowed it alive, then shrunk his body and slipped away. It was precisely because he was proficient in the art of illusion that he restrained his demonic aura, making it difficult to detect it with the Dharma Eyes unless he was at close range."

Another person said: "In my opinion, there may be demons who know how to escape. They use earth escape to escape into the room, release poisonous gas while the person is sleeping to completely stun them, and then use earth escape when the person is unable to resist." The escape technique transports it away without anyone noticing."

…

Everyone was talking about it and everyone had their own speculations, but none of them were widely accepted.

Ye Lin had no experience in going out to perform missions to slay demons. He listened carefully and kept all kinds of speculations in his mind. At the same time, he also carefully recalled various ghost legends in the book "Xunlong Mountain Range".

He found that it seemed that monks, ghosts, and monsters all had relevant abilities. If he wanted to locate the troublemaker, he could not rely on the current intelligence.

The flying boat continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the mayor's mansion of Paoma Town.

The mayor of Paoma Town, who looked haggard and unsightly pale, saw a total of twenty immortal elders coming. He knelt down and kowtowed, almost crying, and was extremely excited.

Everyone else in the town can run away, but he can't. He must cooperate with the investigation by the court and the Immortal Sect, otherwise the Daxuan Dynasty court will not forgive him, and neither will the Taixuan Sect Immortal Chief.

"Ma Wencai, the mayor of Paoma Town, pays homage to all the immortals!"

The team of twenty Taixuanmen disciples gave him a sufficient sense of security.

Both teams of people floated down from the sky. After landing, Zhou Yuan fired a burst of magic power from the flying boat control order. He saw that the flying boat that was tens of meters long in the sky quickly shrank to the size of a palm and flew into his hand, and was then caught by him. Put it into the Qiankun bag.

"No need to be polite, you send a master to accompany my junior sister to the east of the town to investigate, and you accompany us to the west of the town to investigate. Don't leave out every missing person's home."

"Follow the Immortal Chief's orders!"

The mayor of the fat-headed and big-eared town, Ma Changwen, was afraid that he would be the next missing person. He knew very well that although it sounded like he was missing, there was a high probability that he would not be alive.

Monsters and ghosts all want to eat living people.

Zhou Yuan exchanged a look with the other senior sister from the inner sect who led the team: "If there is any important discovery or crisis, please send a message in time and we will rush to reinforce you as soon as possible."

After saying that, the two teams separated according to the battle formation previously discussed on the flying boat. After leaving the flying boat, a life-and-death battle may occur at any time. Everyone's expressions were very serious, and Ye Lin, who was walking in the center of the team, was also everywhere. cautious.

Zhou Yuandao: "First go to the home of the victim last night. The shorter the time, the easier it is to find clues."

"I understand, I understand. Immortals, please follow me."

Just as he was approaching the home of the victim last night, Ye Lin suddenly remembered Xiaobai's voice in his mind.

"Master, be careful. Xiaobai smelled a faint smell of evil and demonic energy. Not only were demonic cultivators here last night, but there were also evil spirits!"
