2457 Where’s Tang Zhen? _1
The fire was still burning, but the cultivators of Lou Cheng couldn’t wait and ran straight to the inner mansion area where the smoke had yet to dissipate.
Although he had guessed that Tang Zhen was not dead, this entire area could be seen with a single glance. Where could he hide?
They would not give up until they found Tang Zhen.
Looking at the dead bodies of the monsters, the leader of the black-robed cultivators was heartbroken. If he killed these monsters, he would at least level up three times, right?
At this thought, the leader of the black-robed cultivators stopped in his tracks and his body trembled uncontrollably.
“Stop advancing!”
Hearing the leader’s order, the group of cultivators looked confused, not knowing what was going on.
“Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and leave this place, the faster the better!”
After giving the order, the leader of the black-robed cultivators turned around and left. His actions were straightforward and decisive.
After leaving the city Lord’s mansion, the leader of the black-robed cultivators stopped in his tracks and looked thoughtfully at the burning city Lord’s mansion.
why do we have to retreat? isn’t it better to take advantage of the monsters ‘injuries and harvest them? ”
The subordinate couldn’t help but ask.
Hearing his subordinate’s question, the leader of the black-robed cultivators shook his head and said in an uncertain tone, ” I’m thinking about a question. How many monsters were killed just now? if all of them are counted on one person, how many levels can I increase? ”
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and said in a surprised tone, ” “You’re saying that the human cultivator didn’t die, but instead profited from his misfortune and leveled up quickly?”
“That’s right!”
The leader of the black-clothed cultivators nodded and continued to speak in an indifferent tone, ” as for what you said about a blessing in disguise, that’s completely wrong. From the very beginning, the other party’s plan was to kill monsters to level up.
isn’t he afraid that his plan will fail and he’ll be blown up? ”
The subordinate didn’t seem to understand and asked in a puzzled tone.
“This in itself is a crazy plan, or a bet. Without enough courage, it can’t be carried out at all.
If he failed, he could only blame his bad luck. But if he succeeded, he could take the lead for a short period of time.
One step ahead, one step ahead.
In the competition between hundreds of millions of cultivators, it was very difficult to be one step ahead.
The human cultivator understood this, so he took the risk and destroyed the city Lord’s mansion with rune bombs.
Actually, this wasn’t entirely true. Just from the fact that he dared to challenge a group of bat cultivators and eliminated all of them, one could tell that he wasn’t a simple person.
After that, he made rune bombs and bombarded the tree demon under the watchful eyes of the strong enemy. Every step he took was enough to prove his courage and strength.
That’s why I’m worried that if he didn’t die and instead leveled up, he would take revenge on the cultivator who attacked him just now.”
After hearing the analysis of the leader of the black-robed cultivators, his subordinates nodded their heads repeatedly. If Tang Zhen really didn’t die, then the possibility of him taking revenge was extremely high.
However, the crux of the problem was that Tang Zhen really did not die?
In fact, this was a question that many cultivators in Lou Cheng were concerned about. They naturally thought of the same thing as the leader of the black-clothed cultivators.
It was precisely because of this reason that they had to find Tang Zhen. If Tang Zhen was still alive, they would do their best to kill him!
After all, the enmity between both parties had already been formed. There was no possibility of resolving it. Even if they were willing, Tang Zhen would definitely not agree.
There were a total of fifty cultivators from loucheng city who participated in the search for Tang Zhen. They came from different teams.
They belonged to different battlefields and did not know each other. They even regarded each other as competitors.
However, at this moment, they chose to temporarily cooperate and tacitly search for the same enemy.
The remains of the building were searched but nothing was found. Although there were many corpses, they didn’t look like Tang Zhen.
In fact, there was nothing special about these wreckages. They were basically human-shaped objects. After being burned by the flames, they had become pitch-black, and their original appearances could no longer be seen.
Besides, after Lou Cheng’s cultivators were eliminated, they would not leave anything behind except for the items they obtained in this world.
I can’t find him at all. Has he really been eliminated? ”
The same question appeared in the minds of the people searching. Although this was the result they had hoped for, they still didn’t dare to be certain.
“Continue searching, even if you have to dig three feet deep!”
They would definitely not give up if they did not obtain a definite answer. If Tang Zhen did not die, they would definitely not leave him any chance to turn things around.
The search area was getting smaller and smaller. Except for the tree demon’s stump, all the other areas had been searched.
All the cultivators looked over at the same time, their eyes solemn.
“Blow it up!”
The tree stump was four meters in diameter and looked black. It was unknown what was hidden inside.
The other loucheng cultivators were also good at using bombs to attack their targets. They carried the bombs with them, just like the bat cultivator’s flame bombs.
A few black objects flew out from the crowd and exploded near the tree stump. A fluorescent liquid burst out.
This liquid was deadly corrosive and, like a flame bomb, it kept making “crackling” sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the bare tree stump broke apart, and black, sticky liquid flowed out.
It was only then that everyone saw that the bottom of the tree stump was filled with bones and blood. It was obviously the food that the tree demon had swallowed.
As for the source of food, it was very likely that mortals who mistakenly entered the city would be captured by the corpse monsters and used as sacrifices.
In fact, the cultivators had already guessed that the tree demon was the city Lord of ghost city, the controller of all the corpse monsters.
After Tang Zhen killed the tree demon, the zombie monsters in ghost city were in complete chaos and were running around the city.
There were also some corpse monsters that rushed out of the city and ran into the wilderness, beginning to wander aimlessly.
If there were civilians nearby, it would undoubtedly be the beginning of a disaster.
After completely destroying the tree stump, some cultivators moved closer to observe, but they found nothing suspicious.
there’s nothing here either. Could it be that the human cultivator has really been eliminated? ”
Although he was still not completely sure, after searching for a long time without any results, he seemed to have given the answer.
The cultivators looked at each other. Since they couldn’t find Tang Zhen, then they would go their separate ways.
If they met again, perhaps they would have to wave their swords at each other. After all, they had always been competitors.
Just as they were about to retreat, the leader of the black-robed cultivators, who was watching from a distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
let me ask you a question, ” he said to his subordinates. do you also think that the human cultivator has been eliminated? ”
Without waiting for his subordinate’s reply, he continued to speak, his tone filled with the excitement of seeing through everything.
“I remember when we first entered the city, we were almost confused by the illusion and thought that this was a normal city?”
The underling nodded. They came at night, just when the corpse monster transmogrified to harm people, and they were almost deceived by it.
“Normal zombie monsters don’t have this ability. Then who cast the illusion to confuse the outsiders who entered the ghost city?
&Nbsp; I think that it was the tree demon that was causing trouble. It could control all the zombies in the city and at the same time, it had the ability to create illusions to cover for them.
So my guess is that among the items dropped by the tree demon, there should be an item that can create illusions.”
The leader of the black-robed cultivators looked at the cultivators from Lou Cheng who were searching for Tang Zhen and revealed a cold smile.
if you observe carefully, you’ll realize that there’s an extra person in the team searching for human cultivators!
