Chapter 607: Strangulation
Chapter 607: Strangulation
It seemed as if something in Lianyang City attracted them, and they could not figure out why.
"Yes, this is a bit weird. You may not believe it, but it's like this..."
Since he was going to talk openly, City Lord Huang spoke in more detail, trying to say as much as he could, and of course not talking about confidential matters.
Si Ze listened and ate while nodding from time to time. He was not so stupid as to ask questions like why don't you move away if the beast tide is difficult to deal with.
Most people are nostalgic and have always taken root here. There are resources and connections here, so they will not move away easily.
Besides, even if you move, you cannot guarantee that the next place will be safer. You cannot just run away when you encounter difficulties without thinking of ways to solve them. You must face the challenges head-on.
As they talked, they turned their attention to Su Li.
Several people winked at Master Bai Yan and asked him to come out.
They felt that since Su Li was assigned to work under him, they had more contact with each other and he knew her a little bit, so it would be more appropriate for him to speak up.
Su Wan went over the news in her mind. In her opinion, the monsters in the beast tide period were not scary, but the mutated monsters were more troublesome.
People bitten by them will also mutate and become something that is neither human nor ghost, which is one of the reasons why they are difficult to deal with.
But today Su Wan has not encountered any mutated monster.
Su Wan thought about Su Li's action of picking up the monster. Was it because she discovered something?
Ordinary animal repellent powder has no effect on them.
Master Bai Yan slowly said, "Su Li, do you have any way to deal with the monster?"
Su Li didn't even raise her head and replied quickly: "No, none of you can solve it, let alone a small person like me. You geniuses and masters should discuss it among yourselves and don't involve me."
Hearing this, Master Bai Yan's face twitched a few times. Perhaps he had previously thought that she was just an insignificant cultivator with outstanding looks but weak strength.
For those who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and are determined to ascend to heaven, strength is the bottom line and good looks are the least worth mentioning.
They all looked down on beautiful vases, unless they were monks who were fond of beauty.
For monks who love beauty, the beauty trap is the most effective against them. Anyway, as long as they are beautiful, they want to possess them, but they prefer beautiful women who are easy to control.
Those delicate vases need to depend on them. When they are interested, they just need to tease them and entertain themselves for a while. It does not take up too much time at all, and there is no need to worry about them stabbing them in the back.
Because they don't have the ability. People with ability and status will not be someone else's pet.
Only those who want to survive and move up will go to great lengths to please those who are beneficial to them.
These are all normal. Everyone gets what they need and there is no question of who is at a disadvantage.
Seeing that she was so uncooperative, Master Bai Yan said seriously: "Su Li, this matter is very important. It concerns the lives of everyone in Lianyang City. You'd better not hide it."
A gleam of light flashed in City Lord Huang’s black eyes. He had already understood what had happened and felt that even God was helping them.
There is nothing that cannot be discussed. If you can't talk it out, it means you haven't given enough benefits.
He said in a gentle voice: "Now many cultivators are very grateful to you. Little friend Su is a man of great righteousness and has saved many people before. Do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, please tell us and we will work together to help you solve them..."
City Lord Huang was a particularly good talker, and everything he said revolved around her. His words were full of concern for her, putting her first, praising her, and complimenting her.
This trick works for most people, but it is useless to someone like Su Li who has seen too much and seen through everything. She doesn't fall for it.
Su Li said slowly: "I'm not lying. I can't help it if you don't believe me."
"Everyone saw it. This can't be concealed. When you went down, the monsters all ran away. There must be something on you that made them afraid." said a real person with a quick temper.
Su Li put down her chopsticks and slowly wiped her slender fingers, "So, if I really had such a treasure, you would want to snatch it away?"
They didn't expect her to be so straightforward. If they had such a treasure, how could they not be tempted?
What means to use to get it depends on the strength of the other party.
If the other party is very weak and has no background, it will be easier to deal with. Just give him some benefits, put pressure on him, and let him voluntarily give up the treasure.
Because of the presence of Su Wan and Xie Jingyao, Su Li was not the kind of person who could be easily moved.
At least that's what they think.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Su Li has many backers, and her backers are all very powerful. Although this is true, her biggest backer is still herself.
She relies on her medical skills and poison skills. She has many trump cards, but the other aspects are linked to her cultivation.
Only her medical and poison skills were not linked to her cultivation level, allowing her to use them freely.
A packet of poison can kill someone with a higher level of cultivation than her.
It is also thanks to Su Wan that her medical and poison skills are so powerful in this life.
If she hadn't said that in her previous life, she and her sister were killed by Qin Yuxiao, and died tragically with no intact bodies, she wouldn't have been so eager to spend most of her energy studying poison and medicine.
Master Bai Yan was a man of upright character. He felt it was irritating to hear her say that and frowned deeply.
He said coldly: "Nonsense, we are not robbers, why would we steal your things? I just want to find out the reason."
"I don't think so." Su Li said lightly, as if she didn't see that he was unhappy.
Seeing this, they glanced at Su Wan, only to see that she looked calm and composed, and obviously supported Su Li.
City Lord Huang's mind raced as he tried to smooth things over: "Don't worry, little Su, I promise no one is targeting you, let's discuss this carefully.
Fellow Daoist Su, the beast tide in Lianyang City must be resolved as soon as possible so that you can leave the city as soon as possible. You don’t want to be trapped here, do you? If you have a way, please save the people of Lianyang City. "
As he said this, he stood up and bowed to her.
Since others have expressed this, Su Wan has no intention of standing idly by.
She also stood up and said, "City Lord Huang, you don't have to do this. We will not stand idly by, but what you just said is indeed false.
You all misunderstood. It's not that the monsters are afraid of A'li. She doesn't have that much ability. Even the beastmasters of the Beast Taming Sect don't have the ability to deal with so many monsters.
It’s just that Ahri knows how to make medicine, and make some powder that can scare monsters…”
"Isn't she a talismanist? Why is she a doctor?"
Hearing this, Si Ze rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Who said that a talisman master can't be a doctor? Can't he practice both talismans and alchemy?"
"That's not the case. Is there really such a powder? We have prepared a lot of animal repellent powder, but it's useless. They are already immune, not to mention the mutated monsters. It would be great if there really is a more powerful powder."
"Of course." Si Ze said.
"I have a lot of experience in dealing with beast tides. I can teach you. Ah Li will be in charge of the medicinal powder. Gather the alchemists and doctors together and let them learn..."
Although they still had some doubts and were very curious, and felt that things were not that simple, they were more inclined to believe that Su Li had a treasure.
That treasure is effective in defeating monsters, but they all said so and they don’t intend to pursue the matter to the end.
What's more, Su Wan's idea was very good, and they knew that she didn't hide it.
The conversation lasted for two hours, and there was still a lot of things to do later.
For convenience, City Lord Huang invited them to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, and Su Wan and the others did not postpone.
Seeing that it was getting late, City Lord Huang saw that they had been busy all day and decided to let them have a good rest and discuss the matter in detail tomorrow.
But Su Wan felt that there was no time to lose, and monks did not need to sleep often. She had fought thoroughly in today's battle and was full of energy, so she did not need to rest.
She still prefers to resolve things as soon as possible. The faster the beast tide is resolved, the smaller the losses will be and more people will survive.
City Lord Huang and his men had no intention of resting. Seeing Su Wan was so enthusiastic, they started discussing the plan directly.
Judging from the situation, they have assigned her to the logistics department, and she will be busy in the coming days.
Su Li didn't care about their plan. She was only responsible for teaching the alchemists and doctors. She left a prescription and went to rest.
As soon as he returned to the room, Long Yuan immediately changed back into human form.
"Xiao Li'er, you are not full yet, come on, I will take you to eat something more delicious."
Before she could react, Long Yuan took her hand and brought her into the space.
"Don't rush to eat. Practice sword with me for a while before eating." She summoned the Qingming Sword.
"it is good."
A sword appeared in his hand, and when the magic sword saw Su Li, it immediately rubbed against her affectionately.
Seeing this, Long Yuan's face turned a little dark and he cast a spell on him.
"Ouch, it hurts, Master, please stop hitting me." He cried out, his voice sounding particularly aggrieved.
He remembered that Long Yuan didn't like him sticking to Su Li before.
"Sword spirit, why didn't I notice there was a sword spirit inside before?"
This was not the first time Su Li had seen Long Yuan’s natal spirit sword, but she could not feel the existence of the sword spirit before.
"He was sleeping before, and just woke up a few days ago and cried loudly."
"Hello, ma'am." A cold voice sounded.
Su Li saw a handsome, stern young man dressed in black.
His temperament is the same as Long Yuan's, and he looks like someone who is not someone you want to mess with.
"Don't shout, I'm not your wife." She said lightly.
Chang Ming was a little puzzled, "How can Madam not be Madam? That's how I used to call you."
He felt that Su Li in front of him was different from before. The look in her eyes was strange and a little cold, but there was still a familiar aura.
"Okay, let's go back, Xiao Li'er, let's practice sword." Long Yuan knew that Su Li didn't like to hear about how they used to be.
If other people encounter this kind of thing, they will be very curious and want to know about the past and the previous life, and try every means to regain their memories.
Su Li is different. She doesn't dwell on the past, even if it is unforgettable. She cares more about the present and the future.
Love was something she couldn't understand, and her feelings towards Long Yuan were somewhat complicated.
She used to be alone. Even though her relationship with Su Wan became closer and she had her company, she still had her own private space.
She just likes to enjoy the tranquility alone, without having to think about anything or do anything, just lying on a tree and relaxing.
She has been to many places and seen many people's love, their joys and sorrows.
She is just a spectator. Pure love is rare and precious.
Neither good nor bad can affect her view of love. Unlike her sister, she does not have a fiancé since childhood and does not experience the taste of love.
That thing was too abstract and not necessary, and she didn't have a strong desire to find a spiritual partner.
She has always lived at her own pace, but the appearance of Long Yuan broke her peaceful life.
She also became conflicted, her heart divided into two: one half wanted to accept him, while the other half was still somewhat unwilling. In short, her feelings were quite complicated.
While practicing sword skills with Long Yuan, many familiar scenes flashed through Su Li's mind.
the next day.
The monsters' attacks are more violent, and there are many mutated monsters.
Su Wan, Xie Jingyao, Si Ze and others each led a team to kill the monsters.
Su Li was in the back, making medicine with the alchemists and doctors.
Su Wan taught them how to kill mutant monsters effectively.
Su Li had picked up a few monsters before. She took some time to study them and soon found out the reason for their mutation.
The problem can be solved once the root cause is found.
The monks in Lianyang City were very united. None of them let each other down. They fought with each other and cooperated tacitly. After experiencing life and death together, their relationship gradually warmed up.
A month later, the beast tide was completely over and all the monsters were killed.
The haze over Lianyang City completely dissipated, the rising sun shone on Lianyang City, and everyone smiled as if they had survived a disaster.
There were demon cultivators from Weilin City involved in this beast tide, so they simply caught them and killed them.
Su Wan did not intend to participate in the fight between the two cities, but the behavior of the demon cultivators in Weilin City disgusted her.
It was their greed and selfishness that harmed many cultivators in Lianyang City.
As long as they don't come to her, she won't bother them.
When City Lord Huang and Master Bai Yan were planning to hold a celebration banquet to thank Su Wan and the others, they were nowhere to be found.
They had clearly sent people to monitor their whereabouts, but still no one noticed when they left.
Knowing that they didn't want to have close friendship with them, they could only give up.
They felt it was a pity that none of the people who wanted to win them over succeeded.
Su Wan and the other three were stopped halfway on their journey.
"You are the ones who ruined our good deeds. You are looking for death!"
Although she didn't know them, Su Wan had already guessed who they were.
"You demon cultivators are the ones seeking death." Si Ze scolded.
"Why waste time talking to them? Just kill them." Su Li said coldly.
"you……"
Before the Lord of Weilin City could react, the head of the person next to him fell off.
"You deserve to die!"
He slapped them and activated the formation.
"Strangulation, Kai."
Su Wan slashed at him diagonally with her sword, while Xie Jingyao slashed at the center of the formation with his sword, destroying the formation before it could even finish operating.
