Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 168: Meat Field
The carriage didn't look big from the outside, but after entering, you'll find that it's full of secrets. It actually uses a method of stretching space.

Formation?

Do not!
Zhu Ju shook his head slightly.

In the world of magic, it should be called the altar.

There is a space of 20 square meters, just like a spacious house.

The floor of the 'house' was covered with soft mink fur, and on the table in the middle were exquisite snacks and drinks.

There are also heaters and burning incense, making the carriage warm like spring and filled with light fragrance.

The young man, who was less than twenty years old, looked lazy, leaning against the car window, smiling and nodding:

"Wu Xian of the Wu family, please feel free to sit down."

Wu Xian was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his aura was pure, and the power of his soul was surging in the carriage. He was actually a magician.

And he is also a top-level mage.

Even Situ Kongli couldn't achieve such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.

"Witch?" Zhu Ju thought thoughtfully:
"I heard that there are a few special surnames in the Monster Hunter Organization, and Wu seems to be one of them."

"Not bad." Wu Xian nodded.
"It's this surname Wu."

"Mr. Wu, as a member of the Wu family, are you traveling to catch monsters?" Zhu Ju sat down casually.
"Or are you just having fun?"

"Neither." Wu Xian shook his head.
"I'm visiting my relatives and am now heading back to Tianzhui City."

He also reminded: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, please remember not to casually tell others about your own visualization method."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju was puzzled.
"Don't they say that if you want to enter the town, you must register for visualization?"

"Yes." Wu Xian nodded.
"Just mention one at random. Can they even enter your sea of ​​consciousness to verify its authenticity?"

Can you do this?

"Oh..." Zhu Ju sighed softly:
"It's Zhu who is too naive."

"In this era, there are very few practitioners who choose the path of treasure." Wu Xian sat up straight.
"Anyone who chooses this path must have an extraordinary character. I admire him."

"I dare not." Zhu Ju said:

"The path to treasure is special?"

"Of course." Wu Xian shrugged.

"The Treasure Master seized the spiritual objects of heaven and earth for his own use, and after his death, he left behind nothing but a treasure."

"As for the demon master, his flesh and blood are all treasures after his death. Only by inheriting his legacy can his legacy continue from generation to generation."

“So most of the cultivation world looks down on Treasure Artifact Master.”

Is that so?

Zhu Ju looked surprised.

"Besides this, there is one more thing." At this point, Wu Xian smiled, his eyes looking meaningfully:

"Those who embark on the path of treasure often have a treasure on them, which can easily lead to trouble."

?

Zhu Ju nodded slowly:

"Been taught a lesson."

"I can tell at a glance that you are someone who practices asceticism, like the great monks at Longmen Temple." Wu Xian shook his head and said:

"You're seriously lacking in worldly experience. Do you know the origins of Old Li, the shepherd you're traveling with?"

"We met not long ago. The shepherd knew the nearby roads, so we went together."

"There's something wrong with that sheep."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju's expression remained unchanged:

"Animal creation technique."

The so-called animal-making technique refers to the technique of using magic to bring disaster to people or make them mentally confused, and then turn them into animals.

The flock of sheep herded by the shepherd Lao Li is the result of a practice of cultivating livestock.

"So fellow Daoist knew."

Wu Xian burst out laughing:

"It was I who was reckless."

He originally thought that Zhu Ju knew nothing about this and was afraid that he had been tricked by a treacherous person, so he invited him to get in the car.

In no mood,

The other party knows everything clearly.

"Mr. Wu, this is a kind gesture. I thank you." Zhu Ju explained:

"There's a bandit stronghold a few dozen miles from here. Those bandits who robbed the road a few days ago were picked off and turned into beasts."

"Like this..." Wu Xian touched his smooth chin:
"So Lao Li is actually a good person?"

"That's not the case." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"It must be like what he said, he's in a hurry to get the goods."

"Yes!" Wu Xian understood:
"If he is truly a good person, he wouldn't have concealed his identity and intentionally traveled with fellow Taoists."

However, since you already know that the other party has bad intentions, if you don’t want to get into trouble, just avoid them.

While talking.

The caravan had entered the town in order, and the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

"Snapped!"

Old Li waved his long whip, making the air crackle, and drove the flock of sheep towards the sheepfold.

Others also got off the car and ordered food and drinks.

The inn is very big.

In addition to the caravan Wu Xian was in, there were other caravans dining here, and the sound of hustle and bustle was constant.

"The shopkeeper's."

The Wu family servant shouted:

“Find a quiet place.”

Zhu Ju went up to the second floor, opened the window and looked into the distance, frowning slightly.

Ever since entering this kind of town, he felt an invisible force field suppressing his soul's perception of the outside world.

just like……

Became a mortal!
"To prevent any unexpected situations, most of the monster hunters' bases have altars set up, so it's normal for their perception to be limited."

Wu Xian laughed and said:

"No one has dared to cause trouble at the Monster Hunter's base."

"Even demons are not allowed!"

Zhu Ju nodded, and his gaze fell on the backyard. The pitch-black night could not block his sight.

there.

The shepherd Lao Li was talking to the innkeeper, apparently counting the number of sheep.

Just opening one ear is not enough to hear clearly what is being said.

At last.

The innkeeper gave him a wooden plaque engraved with a number, and the shepherd Lao Li smiled and said goodbye.

"Ok?"

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

However, the leader of the guards of the Wuxiang caravan also found the innkeeper and obtained two wooden signs from him.

Several more people appeared next. They were all guards, supervisors, or people like Lao Li from other caravans. They each received a wooden plaque.

"I think if you introduce people to the inn, the owner will give you some benefits. He really knows how to do business."

It was already late at night.

The entire town was dead silent except for the long street where the inn was located.

Eat and drink enough.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

A person of noble status like Wu Xian not only had his own room, but also had servants living next door.

Poor people.

They might squeeze into a large bunk bed with twenty or thirty other people, or spend the night in a warehouse, an animal pen, or a straw hut.

"call……"

The night wind makes people drowsy.

"Shh!"

The shepherd Lao Li suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the oil lamp beside him, then put on his cloak and walked out of the inn.

I don’t know when.

The entire town was shrouded in thick black fog. It was pitch dark and difficult to tell the direction.

Old Li took out the wooden sign he got from the innkeeper, shook it gently, and a green phosphorus ghost fire immediately appeared in front of him.

The will-o'-the-wisp swayed and floated forward.

"Why is it so fast this time?"

After muttering to himself, Lao Li suppressed his doubts and followed the will-o'-the-wisp.

"Old Li!"

"Old Li!"

In the darkness, a shout reached my eardrums.

Old Li's face was pale and he had no intention of looking back. He stared at the ghost fire and didn't dare to relax.

"clatter!"

A figure emerged from the front and stretched out his hand lightly, and the will-o'-the-wisp was restrained in mid-air by an invisible force.

"Old Li."

Zhu Ju smiled faintly and said:

"It's so late, why are you walking around the inn instead of sleeping?"

"It's you!" Old Li's eyes were filled with panic, and he suddenly lunged towards the arm that was holding the will-o'-the-wisp.
"Give me!"

"Give it to me quickly!"

"Peng!"

Zhu Ju waved his sleeves lightly, and a surge of force burst out, directly knocking him away.

"No hurry, let's make things clear first."

"It's too late, too late." Old Li struggled to get up, his face showing panic and he spoke hurriedly:
"The ceremony is about to begin. If we don't leave this town, I...we will all die!"

"Mr. Zhu!"

He said hurriedly:

"Let's go together, let's go together."

"This will-o'-the-wisp leads us out of the city. Follow it and we'll be able to leave this 'meat field'."

"Ritual, meat field." Zhu Ju said slowly:

"What does this mean?"

"There's no time!" Old Li was sweating profusely.

"Let go of the will-o'-the-wisp first, and let's leave this town together. Otherwise, we really won't have time."

"Really?" Zhu Ju was still calm and collected.

"There's no point in being anxious. If you don't explain things clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of this thing."

"You..." Old Li glared at me, his body trembling. He looked at the increasingly dark surroundings and said anxiously:

"This town is a monster hunter's meat field!"

"The 'meat' is raised in the town and provided to people when needed. You are that meat."

"ceremony……"

"It's the ceremony to advance to the level of a real person!"

"Hmm?" Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully:

"You mean to say that all the people in this town are preparing for the Grand Mage to advance to True Person?"

"That's right." Old Li nodded frantically:

"We call this kind of place a meat yard. Sometimes we don't have enough 'meat', so we need to buy more."

"I……"

“I’m one of the people responsible for purchasing goods.”

"Is that so?" Zhu Ju had a strange expression on his face.
“Are there many meat farms like this?”

"I don't know, I don't know." Lao Li said anxiously:

"Some of the monster hunters are specifically responsible for this kind of thing. After all, advancing to the level of a real person requires a lot of blood and flesh."

"quick!"

"Let go!"

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, wanted to cry but had no tears, and his body was shaking wildly.

Once the ceremony begins, all living beings in the town will become 'sacrifices', without exception.

"What if there are powerful and noble people in the town?" Zhu Ju asked curiously:
"Killed them together?"

"Of course not." Old Li shook his head repeatedly:

"They will be sent away in advance. People in the meat market don't want to cause trouble."

"Really?" Zhu Ju said:

"Then why were the Wu family members sent in?"

"Wu family?" Old Li was stunned:
"Which Wu family?"

"It's what you think." Zhu Ju looked at him with a half-smile.
"So you didn't know. No wonder you've been wandering around here, not realizing you've been abandoned."

“How pathetic!”

Shaking his head, he let go of the will-o'-the-wisp in his hand and pointed his finger at Old Li's brow.

"clatter!"

A flash of inspiration bloomed.

Old Li only felt that the thick black fog in front of him became much thinner, and he could even see the inn not far away.

And that will-o'-the-wisp...

It was circling around the inn.

He never left the inn from the beginning to the end, and it was even more impossible for him to leave this town known as a meat market.

"Pfft!"

Old Li's face turned pale, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

"It's over!"
