Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 539: Ghost Pressure: Six Livestock Disaster
The four of them did not continue strolling on the street but returned to the teahouse.

Although the teahouse was destroyed by Xiao Ran, fortunately it is also a place to rest, and most importantly, it is safe.

It was empty inside now, without a ghost in sight, so it was a good time for them to take a break and observe the situation.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Ran took out Jia Youcai's waist bag from the space, opened the bag and found that there were quite a lot of things inside, and the space was surprisingly large.

Xiao Ran poured out all the things and piled them everywhere.

"These two knives are good, just enough to give Sanli."

Xiao Ran picked up two long swords, which were shaped like Miao Dao and were two E-level cursed objects. Although the grade was a bit low, they were still very good for Sanli's use.

"Brother Xiao, can you sell me these shoes?"

Xu Yan pointed at the pair of shoes on the ground hesitantly.

Xiao Ran walked over and took it up to take a look. It was a D-level cursed item [White Cloud Boots].

After putting on this thing, one can acquire a good set of Wudang Qinggong. Xu Yan is a master of horizontal training, but he doesn't know Qinggong. Having such a pair of shoes will be a huge improvement for him.

"200 ghost money, maybe."

Xiao Ran nodded and casually reported the number of 200 ghost money. If these boots were taken to the Bone Spirit Street, they could be sold for 600 or more.

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Xiao." Xu Yan naturally knew that Xiao Ran was taking care of him, and hurriedly took out 200 ghost money from the space and handed it to Xiao Ran.

In fact, these boots are of little use to Xiao Ran. As for lightness skills, he can't say that he has reached the level of mastery, but since he learned the big monk's footwork, it has almost reached the extraordinary level.

So naturally he has no use for these boots, but he can't just give them away as a gift. This has nothing to do with generosity.

As the saying goes, great kindness can seem like great hatred.

No matter how good the relationship is, you still have to settle the accounts. You can give it to him at a lower price, but you can't give it to him for free.

I continued to pick and choose, but there were just too many things.

Xiao Ran simply released Sanli, the painter, the butcher, even the pharmacist and the archer, and let them choose for themselves.

Xiao Ran also found a lot of good things in it, such as a bottle of spirit-enhancing potion.

Drinking it can increase your mental strength by 5 points, but the side effect is constipation for two days.

Compared to 5 points of mental strength, this cost is negligible.

After Xiao Ran drank it, his mental strength reached 60 points.

"Unfortunately, it's not a potion of agility or something like that."

Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling a little regretful after drinking it, as his agility was only 5 points away from a breakthrough to 50 points.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, one's strength must be improved in all aspects.

"Boom!!"

Xiao Ran was feeling regretful when a bell rang out of the blue at the side. The moment the bell rang, Xiao Ran felt as if every hair on his body stood up. His head also felt heavy, as if someone had hit him hard on the head.

As for Liumu, Xu Yan and Wenwen, they were also shocked by the sudden sound of the bell and felt uncomfortable all over.

He looked back and saw the butcher holding a yellow bell, grinning with drooling mouth, seeming to value the bell very much.

Xiao Ran walked up to this guy and kicked him on the butt in annoyance.

But the butcher didn't care at all. Instead, the six tentacles behind him held the bronze bell tightly in their hands, like a child who had received candy and refused to let go.

Xiao Ran was puzzled and motioned to the butcher to bring the clock over. The butcher hesitated for a long time before putting the clock down.

"Hey, why didn't I notice this thing just now??"

Liumu also came over and looked at the big bell, and couldn't help but be quite surprised.

"Do you know him?" Xiao Ran put his hand on the clock.

It turned out that it was not a cursed object, which was not right. The sound of the bell just now did not sound like that of an ordinary bronze bell.

"I don't recognize this bell, but the scripture on it is the Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons from the Mahayana sect of Buddhism."

After saying that, Liumu turned around and looked at the butcher, wondering why he was so interested in this thing.

Xiao Ran was also full of confusion, but seeing the butcher staring at him pitifully, he simply ignored it and let him play with the bell.

Sanli was very fond of the pair of swords he got, which came in handy with the two swords he had thrown away. It seemed that he was planning to develop a six-sword style.

The painter found a brush, an E-level cursed item. Although it was not a good thing, it was quite suitable for his job needs.

The archer holds three arrows. These three arrows are disposable consumables and do not need to be activated. Each arrow has a different effect.

As for the pharmacist snake, it dug out a furnace for refining medicine, which was quite useful for refining medicine.

After he finished selecting all the corpse slaves under his command, Liumu looked around but couldn't find anything he liked.

He is the Six-Eyed Vanguard Demon King, how could he care about these things? He only regretted that his soul was not complete, otherwise, hum. "Wenwen, this is for you."

Xiao Ran saw Wenwen sitting aside, looking at the pile of messy things at a loss. He sighed and rummaged through it casually.

Found two yellow talismans, one is the Light Escape Talisman and the other is the Five Thunder Talisman. Both are consumables so they do not need to be activated.

Xiao Ran handed the two talismans to Wenwen: "One is for escaping, and the other is for self-protection. It's just right. With the antiques in your hand, I think your points can guarantee your escape. Next, you just need to find a safe place to hide. When you hear the peddler's shout, follow the peddler and you can leave this maze city."

Wenwen took the things Xiao Ran handed to her and was stunned for a moment: "Xiao... Brother Xiao, did I... do something wrong?"

"No, actually you've done very well."

Xiao Ran patted Wenwen on the shoulder.

As a newcomer and a girl, she was a complete burden. In such an environment, the fact that Wenwen could keep her mouth shut, be quiet and be obedient was beyond Xiao Ran's expectations.

"But what I'm going to do next is too dangerous. You, and you, are not suitable to participate in it, so what I mean is that you hide here and leave when it's over."

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan immediately stood up and objected, "Brother Xiao, the company asked me to protect you. If you take the risk and I run away, I won't be able to explain myself when I go back."

“Hahaha…” Liumu at the side couldn’t help laughing when he heard this: “You protect him?? You don’t know how cruel this guy is. Is he really worth your protection?? With your strength, it’s better not to follow him.”

"Just because you are strong, you can't be protected? I can definitely help you. At worst, I can take the blame for you, Brother Xiao. Anyway, if I separate from you like this, I won't be able to explain to the company."

"Company?" Liumu scratched his head and looked Xu Yan up and down.

"How much money do you get paid for working so hard? Is it worth it?"

"This is not about money, it's about faith! Do you understand?"

Xu Yan said this without any fear under the gaze of six people. When talking about the word "faith", everyone could feel the strong and proud pride in Xu Yan's heart.

This shocked Liumu greatly.

Because it is not an illusory belief, it is not the reverence for the gods and Buddhas, and it is not the worship of heroism.

That kind of pure and firm belief was a kind of faith that Liumu had never seen before.

Liumu involuntarily took a step back, turned around to look at Xiao Ran, and asked: "Are all of you modern people so brave?"

Xiao Ran shrugged. After all, after experiencing a century of humiliation, you could say that modern people do not believe in their ancestors, gods, Buddha, ghosts, etc., but they will always believe in the people's soldiers.

And Xu Yan was the elite selected from the army.

"Okay, okay, follow me if you like."

Liumu stopped arguing with Xu Yan. Seeing this, Wenwen mustered up the courage to say, "Brother Xiao, I want to follow you too. I don't have any other abilities, but I promise I won't let you down at the critical moment. If necessary, you don't have to worry about me. At least don't let me hide here by myself. I can't stand it."

He Jun's death has caused Wenwen great pain. She dare not imagine that if she hides in this place alone, her mind will start to wander and whether she can still bear this pain.

This was torture for her.

In comparison, even though it was dangerous to stay with Xiao Ran, at least she wouldn't have time to think about He Jun's affairs, and she wouldn't have to be suspicious or worried.

If she had to die, she would rather die more easily.

"I have only one request. If I die, you can bury my body with He Jun."

"Ugh!"

Xiao Ran wanted to persuade Wenwen, but seeing Wenwen's resolute expression, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Well, another stubborn person."

Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Ran suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and occasional knocks on the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran winked at everyone, and then quickly took back the butcher and the others.

Then he waved his hand and put all the messy things in front of him into the space.

Liumu walked to the door immediately and looked out through the crack. He saw gusts of black wind on the street outside and no one was in sight in all the stalls.

Apart from a few unlucky guys still looking for shelter outside, there was not a single person in sight.

Liumu looked again and saw that a dark red eyeball had appeared out of nowhere above the ghost market, squinting at the ground and searching for something.

At the same time, those unlucky guys who didn't have time to dodge suddenly screamed, fell to the ground in pain, their bones crackling, and thick hair grew on their bodies.

But in a blink of an eye, they turned into animals. Some turned into cows, some turned into sheep, and some turned into rabbits and snakes.

"Oh no, this is ghost pressure!!"

Liumu's face suddenly changed and he hurriedly shouted to Xiao Ran: "Hurry, take me back first!" As soon as Liumu finished speaking.

"Ding! Warning, you are now within the range of the Six Livestock Disaster of the Wrath of the Gods. Every once in a while, you will all turn into animals!!"

At this time, a harsh reminder sounded in the ears of Xiao Ran and the other two. Xiao Ran only felt an itchy feeling on his arm and looked down, and found that long and thin hairs had begun to grow on his arm...
