I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 143 The Mystery of the Azure Sky Forest
"what"

Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out not far from him. The man quickly scrambled to his feet and stared intently ahead.

But the fog, though thin, is actually thick; unless you're face to face, you can't see each other's faces even two meters apart.

It's really weird.

"Who? Who's there?"

He asked a question with a fierce tone but a weak heart, but no one answered.

After much hesitation, the man finally groped his way forward, but before he did, he stuck several life-saving talismans on his body.

But he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the talismans were useless in this maze.

The sticker only serves a psychological purpose.

After walking about ten meters, he vaguely saw a white shadow ahead. He was overjoyed, thinking he had met his companion.

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can keep him company.

Don't be fooled by their Taoist origins; they can be quite timid at times, fearing death and karmic retribution. They have a whole host of taboos, making them much more troublesome than other sects.

"Hello, who is this?"

Seeing the white shadow standing there motionless, and having learned from the previous mistake of accidentally swatting away a "person," the man didn't rush forward this time, but instead stood about four meters away waiting for the man's response.

He did respond, but the other person had their back to him, lowered their head, covered their face, and was sobbing softly. The sound was melodious and desolate, which made him feel very sad.

"Hey, what's wrong? Tell me what's wrong, don't cry."

In desperation, the man walked forward another two meters, until he was only a little over two meters away from the white figure.

Of course, he also forgot that there were no women in their group.

"what happened to you?"

The man walked up behind Bai Ying, looked at her full head of black hair and slender figure, and inexplicably swallowed.

"If there's anything you need, you can tell me, and I can help you."

The woman finally stopped crying, slowly turned around, then lowered her hands from her face and slowly raised her head.

"Damn it! Where did this female ghost come from? By the power of the law, get out of here!"

When the man saw a face without features, he was startled and barely managed to scream. Realizing what had happened, he hurriedly threw a talisman at the object while cursing, but in his panic, the incantation was jumbled and incoherent.

Even more bizarrely, the faceless female ghost to whom he had thrown a talisman not only wasn't taken away, but instead raised her hand and slapped him across the face. At the same time, a familiar male voice, whose mouth was nowhere to be seen, came from the face in front of him: "You son of a bitch, Dongfang Kai, what the hell are you sticking on my face?"

Outside the maze, Dongfang Shuo watched the two men fighting and laughed until his stomach hurt.

Meng Qi checked the time and said, "Alright, we have to go back now, or Brother Xiaole will get worried."

"Okay, I'll head back now."

After speaking, Dongfang Shuo glanced at a young man who had been carefully observing the formation throughout the entire process, snorted coldly, and then turned and left quickly with Meng Qi.

As for this formation, if they can't break it, then they'll just have to wait for it to automatically deactivate in three days.

When the two quietly returned to Wei Xiaole's side, a group of people who had gone to look for them returned to the same place, led by the mustachioed man who had made the decision at the beginning.

This person is Liu Jixin, the third uncle of Liu Mao of the Liu family in Sangzhou.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Liu Jixin was puzzled. Everyone had set off at the same time, searched roughly the same areas, and should have returned around the same time, unless... they had encountered those three children and the red-haired monster. "Liu San, didn't you find anything there?"

At this moment, another group of people returned from the other direction, led by a middle-aged man who was Liu Jixin's friend.

"No, now only Meng Wenze and Dongfang Du are left."

Just as he finished speaking, Liu San's phone rang.

"It's Meng Wenze."

But when the call was connected, it wasn't Meng Wenze who spoke, but Meng Kaijie.

Because Xiao Qi was still angry when she left, she beat Meng Wenze unconscious, specifically targeting his face. Now, Meng Wenze, who was being carried to a car outside the dense forest, was so bruised and swollen that his original appearance was unrecognizable.

"Uncle Liu, my fifth uncle's cultivation level has suddenly loosened up. His dantian... cough, you know, anyway, he's not available to make phone calls right now, so we'll head back first. But we've already searched the area to the east, and there's no one there."

After finishing his sentence, Meng Kaijie hurriedly hung up the phone and glared at one of Meng Wenze's men with dissatisfaction. "Why did you have to tell this lie? Couldn't you have just said you had to leave because of something at home?"

"Third Young Master, you can ask Fifth Master if it's okay to say this when he wakes up."

"You've already fucking said it, what's the point of asking if it's okay or not?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jixin said with envy after hanging up, "Meng Wenze's cultivation level has actually improved again. It's only been a short time since his last advancement, less than three years. Tsk, a genius is a genius, something we can't compare to."

"It's not surprising that he's this fast. You know, the Meng family's resources are all geared towards him. I heard that the two demons the Meng family killed with all their might, they gave him their demon cores."

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly stopped. He looked at Liu Jixin meaningfully and said, "At this time, you say your cultivation level has loosened? Could it be that they snatched the demon from those three children?"

Liu Jixin frowned, then waved his hand and said, "It's unlikely. You've heard about the strength of those three kids, right? If he could have taken it, he wouldn't have been so quiet. At the very least, we would have noticed."

This is true.

Without Meng Wenze and the others, now only Dongfang Du is missing.

But after waiting and waiting, half an hour passed and still no one came.

Liu Jixin then sent someone to check the west side. About twenty minutes later, his men came running back, "Third Master, something bad has happened! A huge white fog has suddenly appeared in the woods. It seems that Sixth Master of the Dongfang family and his men have gotten stuck in the fog."

Legend has it that a mist appears in the Azure Forest once a month, and once someone gets trapped inside, it's very difficult to get out.

As for why it exists, nobody knows.

But
"Didn't the fog already appear once last week? The month isn't even over yet, why is it coming again?"

Who knows?

Liu Jixin frowned, then led his men to check the west side. Before leaving, he left two men in the area and called his men guarding the only road leading to the Azure Sky Forest. He told them to call immediately if they saw any unusual activity, especially vehicles belonging to special departments.

Wei Xiaole glanced at the time. Xia and his team had only been gone for less than three hours, and it would take at least another three hours to get here.

Waiting for someone can be very difficult.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qi's storage ring can only hold inanimate objects, not living ones.

He turned to Dongfang Shuo and whispered, "Do you think they'll go in and help Dongfang Du?"

The group of people Wei Xiaole cared about had already arrived at the location of the maze.

Staring at the vast, unfathomable expanse of mist before him, Liu Jixin gazed at it for several minutes before suddenly saying, "Something's wrong here. This isn't the mist of the Azure Sky Forest."
