Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 540 Enemies meet
Mrs. Dongzhu!

Looking at the hair growing on his hands, the first thought that came to Xiao Ran's mind was her.

This level of magic, with such a large range and almost indiscriminate attacks, is not something that everyone can do.

In Xiao Ran's impression, there are only two people who can do this, one of whom is his cheap master, Yinshan Taoist.

The other one is Mrs. Dongzhu.

As for the Plum Blossom Taoist, Xiao Ran was not sure. After all, there was no method of suppressing victory in the magic he passed down.

Xiao Ran didn't have time to think about it now.

He quickly used half of the Yin-Yang technique, hoping to isolate himself from the influence of the magic of exorcism, but it obviously didn't work, and Liumu's entire body began to grow hair.

“Hurry, hurry, put me into the gourd, I don’t want to change…” Before Liumu could finish his words, something seemed to be stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth and a chicken feather came out. Then the chicken feather on his face began to grow wildly, quickly covering Liumu’s face.

"That's too late!"

Xiao Ran ignored Liumu and quickly took out the Taishan stone from the space.

He formed seals with his hands and dropped the stone in front of the gate. At the same time, he stepped on the Seven Stars. The rolling corpse gas spread out and poured into the ground. Suddenly, the corpse gas rolled out from the ground continuously and turned into a pool of corpses.

"Use Mount Tai as a guard and the smoke of corpses as a barrier. I ask Mount Tai to support me. Start!"

Xiao Ran chanted a spell silently, then slapped the ground with his hands. The corpse gas in the corpse pool immediately boiled over, forming a black corpse evil.

The texture of this corpse evil was very sticky, as sticky as petroleum, and it quickly covered the entire house.

"Come in! Stand with me."

Xiao Ran signaled Xu Yan and Wenwen to come in quickly. Together with Liu Mu, who was about to turn into a chicken, the four of them gathered in a group.

Then Xiao Ran pinched the magic seal with his fingers, and the corpse evil swallowed the Taishan stone.

As this sticky liquid gradually climbed up their bodies, it soon condensed into a cylinder behind them, standing behind the four people like a stabilizing force.

As this secret technique took shape, Xiao Ran and the other three felt their whole bodies lighten, and the beast-like features on their bodies immediately disappeared.

Although Xiao Ran had no way to break the magic of the outside world, he had no problem relying on the Taishan Stone to protect the four of them from being affected.

"Humph, what a big deal! Such a powerful ghost suppression technique, I wonder how many sacrifices it will take."

Liumu snorted coldly. If he wrote first, he would become a chicken. This was a great humiliation for him.

"Stop talking nonsense and go outside to see what's going on." Xiao Ran pointed outside the door.

"Ah?? I'm going?"

Liu stared at Xiao Ran with wide eyes.

"What else?? You are my corpse slave, do you want me to go?"

Liumu put his hand to his forehead and said with a sad face: "I thought we were friends."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Xiao Ran was too lazy to waste time talking to Liumu and urged him to go out and see what was going on outside.

"But if I go out... won't I turn into a chicken?"

"will not!"

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and a ball of corpse turned into a small Mount Tai in his hand. Xiao Ran placed it on Liumu's shoulder.

"This will protect you, but if you turn into a chicken, just run back."

After hearing what Xiao Ran said, although Liumu was reluctant, he had no way to disobey Xiao Ran's order. He walked to the door and thought about it, then took out the [Nuo Opera Mask] from his arms and put it on his face.

Tiger's body still retains the profession of a profiler. Putting on a mask and playing the role of himself can increase his strength by at least three levels.

"Buzz!"

The door was opened. Liumu stuck his head out, glanced around, and then walked out. Before leaving, he did not forget to leave the door open a crack to prevent himself from turning into a chicken and being unable to open the door when he came back.

"Brother Xiao, I've always been curious, what is Liumu..."

After seeing Liumu leave, Xu Yan could not help but ask Xiao Ran about the doubts that had been bothering him.

"Yes! But he is special."

Without waiting for Xu Yan to say the word "corpse", Xiao Ran admitted it directly.

"So that's it."

Xu Yan nodded with sudden enlightenment. Wenwen, who was standing beside him, saw this and was about to say something but stopped herself.

This subtle movement naturally could not be hidden from Xiao Ran's eyes. He turned around and explained to Wenwen: "A corpse is a corpse. It is difficult for the original soul to be preserved in its own corpse for a long time."

The truth is that opposites attract and likes repel.

If a magnet is broken, it cannot be restored even with super glue.

But they can form new shapes or attract other magnets.

The same is true for souls and corpses.

As the corpse ages, the rejection of one's own corpse and soul becomes more obvious.

Although there are examples of people using other people's bodies to revive, in most cases this is done by using someone else's body. There are some exceptions, such as zombies.

Some zombies can retain their memories from their previous lives, but it is nonsense to say that they have souls.

So Xiao Ran directly denied Wenwen's idea. Even if she turned He Jun into a corpse and derives certain abilities and wisdom from him, he would no longer be the original He Jun.

Without the nourishment of corpse qi, the body will still rot, it's just a matter of speeding up or slowing down.

Listening to Xiao Ran's explanation, Wenwen wiped her moist eyes imperceptibly, then stood silently behind the table, observing her surroundings vigilantly.

This made Xiao Ran particularly satisfied with Wenwen.

This is a strong and rational girl who can quickly distinguish the facts and weigh which side is more important.

It's just that her strength is a little lacking. If everyone can go back safely this time, Xiao Ran wouldn't mind supporting her and letting her join his team.

As for her strength, it doesn't matter. Once the operation of the Amazing Pavilion is on the right track, there will be plenty of resources, and then she can improve her strength by force.

After all, if Xiao Ran wants to become the fourth largest organization alongside Changchun Society, Penglai Tower and Donglongfang, insufficient manpower is his biggest fatal flaw. Xiao Ran is very willing to accept someone like Wenwen, whose character and personality are considered good.

Just at this moment, Xiao Ran heard a sound outside the door.

At first glance, a fox face poked its head out from outside the door. When it saw Xiao Ran and the other two inside the door, an anthropomorphic look of shock appeared on the fox's face.

Then he raised his two paws above his head and raised his hands several times towards Xiao Ran in a saluting manner.

Xiao Ran understood what the other party meant, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded; "Come in."

The fox walked in, followed by a sheep and a horse.

Xiao Ran motioned for them to come over and wrapped the three of them with the corpse evil. Seeing this oil-like liquid wrapping around their bodies, the three of them showed panic expressions.

But fortunately, they soon felt that their bodies were slowly changing, and gradually turning back into human form.

After waiting for a while, the three of them gradually regained their human form. They were surprised and happy, and hurriedly thanked Xiao Ran.

However, Xiao Ran was shocked when he saw the three people's recovered faces: "It's actually them!" It was not difficult to tell from their clothes that the three people were also beginners.

But what shocked Xiao Ran was not this, but that he recognized the three people in front of him. It could even be said that he was quite familiar with them.

Changchun will represent the Rat, Mountain Dragon and Taurus in the twelve zodiac signs.

This is really strange. After the last attack by Star Lord, the Changchun Society suffered heavy casualties and had to go from light to covert. All the core members of the Changchun Society went into hiding, and some have even disappeared without a trace.

I didn't expect to meet these three guys here.

"Haha, this is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road."

Speaking of which, when the three people surrounded me in the Dream Pool, I had not yet become a 3D-level beginner. Now that so much time has passed, I don’t know how strong the three people are.

"Thank you all for your help. I am very grateful. I have some Imperial Jade Wine here. Let me drink it first."

The leading Rat took out a gourd from the space, opened it, and the aroma of wine filled the air. He took a sip from the gourd.

"Oh, this wine is good, one hundred and eighty per glass."

Xiao Ran responded with a forced smile. He was still wearing the [Hercules Mask] on his face and the marks left on him by Zishu and the others had been removed by Sister Liu. Xiao Ran was not worried that they would be able to recognize him.

In his heart, he was already thinking about whether to take the opportunity to kill them, but he was worried that if he acted rashly, he would alert the enemy. After thinking it over, Xiao Ran decided to find out their background first.

If there is someone supporting us outside, we might as well find a way to kill them all together.

"So we are all brothers. My name is Haozi, and these are my two brothers, Lao Niu and Tulong."

After hearing Zishu's self-introduction, Xiao Ran suppressed his smile and responded, "Just call me Zhonghu. These two are my teammates. Yanbing, Sanmei, and Laoji have already left. I didn't expect to meet my own people here. It's really surprising."

"Thanks to you, brothers Fox. If it weren't for you, the three of us would still be in the form of beasts."

The Rat thanked him again.

"Don't be so polite, it's just a matter of convenience. I just don't know what happened outside?"

"We don't know now, but this large-scale victory strategy won't last too long." Zishu said, looking at Xiao Ran and Xu Yan. When he saw the masks on Xiao Ran and Xu Yan's faces, he couldn't help but feel moved and asked tentatively: "Are you three from the company?"

"How do you know I'm from the company?" Xu Yan asked back.

The Rat smiled proudly and said, "We heard that a kind of standard equipment has appeared in the company, which is the mask on your face, so we asked one more question."

These words surprised Xiao Ran and Xu Yan. You know, only a small number of people knew about the mask.

The Changchun Society had been beaten so badly that it didn't even dare to show its head, but it still knew such confidential matters. It seemed that the Changchun Society was indeed a lean camel that was bigger than a horse. Although it was lurking in the dark, it was constantly active in private and its business was still being done, it was just a matter of changing the location.

"Yes, we are from the company." At Xiao Ran's signal, Xu Yan took out the badge representing the company.

Seeing the badge, the three of them immediately relaxed. "So that's how it is. My apologies."

"What about you guys? What are you doing here?? Were you also dragged in for no apparent reason?"

"Almost. We are here just to hunt down one person."

"Murder? Who?"

When Xiao Ran said this, he suddenly became alert: "Is he here to kill me?"

Rat grinned and laughed dryly for a few times before saying, "Hey, don't be afraid, fellow Taoist. Our target is a guy named He Xiangwen..."
