Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

The white-haired village chief was put behind. He stroked his sleeves and said indifferently, "Thank you for saving me. My name is Bai Xu. I wonder if you can help me with something?"

"what's up?"

"You haven't explained clearly what happened today?"

"And who are you?"

Mu Yan stared at Bai Xu closely and asked about the doubts in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu glanced at Mu Yan indifferently and spoke calmly.

"I am just a tool. My mission is to break the seal and destroy the demon inside. I seal it in the peach blossom forest."

"As long as the devil exists, the curse here will not be lifted, and people will have to make sacrifices every year."

"As for why this seal exists, it is the result of greed."

"You should have seen the ghost babies a few days ago. They are the sacrifices. They were treated cruelly before they died. Their souls cannot rest in peace after death and can only be trapped here."

Bai Xu spoke briefly, expressionless, as if these were unimportant matters.

Hearing this, Mu Xi asked cautiously, "Since you have the ability to destroy the demons inside, why don't you escape by yourself and need our help? And breaking the curse is obviously a good thing for the villagers, can you just confess to them directly?"

When Bai Xu heard this, a rare sneer appeared on his face, "Why do you think I was left here? If I hadn't been imprisoned here by them, I would have left long ago."

Bai Xu said, with an angry expression on his face, and continued, "If the curse is lifted, their abilities will disappear, and there will be an endless supply of food."

Mu Xi was even more confused when she heard this, "Is there enough food? Is there no limit?"

Bai Xu said coldly, "You can see that normal food cannot be grown within a radius of hundreds of miles. That's because the demons in the seal have absorbed the vitality. Also, the village sacrifices children every year and gets vegetables as a reward. Only by eating vegetables can we avoid the backlash phenomenon."

After hearing this, Mu Xi roughly understood why Bai Xu was imprisoned. After all, these villagers were used to enjoying themselves and just wanted to get something for nothing. Of course, they refused to lift the curse.

After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

What's more, these villagers are very ignorant and greedy.

Hearing this, Mu Yan asked, "Then how did this demon appear?"

Bai Xu said indifferently, "I don't know when the devil will appear, but I do know something about when the villagers discovered the devil.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a famine here. The villagers were unintentionally deceived by the devil. As long as they provided human sacrifices, they could get an endless supply of food. In order to survive, the villagers made the sacrifices with doubts. After tasting the sweetness, the villagers couldn't stop themselves. They fell into the devil's trap and signed a contract with the devil.

That's the thing. Do you have anything else to ask? I want to go to the peach blossom forest now."

After hearing this, Mu Yan and the others discussed it and decided to accompany Bai Xu.

The group arrived at the peach blossom forest. Mu Xi looked at Bai Xu and asked, "Is there any way to block the confusion inside?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu produced several jade pendants out of thin air and said calmly, "As long as you wear these, you won't be deceived. I'll need your help when you go in later."

Mu Yan took the jade pendant, distributed it, and followed Bai Xu into the peach blossom forest. Along the way, when the peach tree wanted to mutate, Bai Xu took out something and directly suppressed the peach tree.

Mu Xi and the others looked around vigilantly, and after walking for a while they came to a hidden cave.

"Is this the sealed place? Do we need to go into the cave?" Zhao Qi asked puzzledly.

Bai Xu said indifferently, "Yes, it's inside."

Mu Yan and Zhao Qi arranged half of the people to guard outside the cave entrance, and the others followed in.

Mu Xi also asked the system to scan it.

Xiaotian said anxiously, "Host, hurry up, there is someone inside, and he looks a bit like Zhao Sen."

When Mu Xi heard this, she pulled Mu Yan up and walked quickly, saying, "Village Chief, let's hurry up."

As soon as the words fell, the group quickened their pace. When they reached the deepest part of the city, they heard a burst of arrogant little voices.

"Haha! I finally got out."

When Mu Xi and others arrived, they saw that Zhao Sen had changed and was emitting black energy.

"Zhao Sen? Why are you here?"

Zhao Qi shouted to Zhao Sen in confusion.

"He is no longer the friend you knew. He has been possessed by the demon inside."

Before Zhao Sen could answer, Bai Xu said it coldly.

"You have a good eye, but I am now both Zhao Sen and the Nightmare, we are one. Are you guys here to celebrate my rebirth?"

Zhao Sen replied with an arrogant smile.

"This...this has already come out, can it still be eliminated?" Zhao Sen asked doubtfully.

Bai Xu said coldly, "It has not been completely unsealed yet. Do you see the piece of ice behind it? That's where its origin is stored. As long as it is destroyed, the escaped soul will also dissipate."

"Is it the crystal-like thing at the back?" Mu Xi asked puzzledly.

Bai Xu nodded upon hearing this.

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

When Zhao Sen heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said viciously, "Who are you? How do you know these things?"

"I am the one who will take care of you."

Bai Xu said coldly, and then started to take action.

I saw white rays of light coming towards Zhao Sen, and the black color began to dissipate.

After seeing this, Mu Yan and others also activated their special powers and began to attack.

The two sides fought fiercely and were evenly matched. Zhao Sen's strength was endless and he was tireless.

While the Nightmare was being fought by Mu Yan and others, Mu Xi sneaked to the place where the Nightmare was and directly took away the crystal.

I asked the system, "Xiaotian, how do I destroy this thing?"

Xiaotian scanned it and said, "Host, you should let Bai Xu handle this."

When Mu Xi heard this, he moved to another place, came near Bai Xu, and asked, "Village Chief, how do we eliminate this thing?"

When Zhao Sen heard this, he looked at Mu Xi fiercely and shouted angrily, "Mu Xi, why is it you again? When did you go to steal my origin? Nothing good will happen to me if I meet you."

Mu Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. She looked at Zhao Sen's constantly changing expression. It seemed that Zhao Sen hated her quite a bit. She said casually, "I just went to get it. Since you've already died once and still don't know how to cherish it, then it's not impossible to die again."

Zhao Sen's eyes widened when he heard this. He was furious and continued to yell at Mu Xi, "It's you. As long as you die, the Nightmare Clan will be able to successfully invade. You deserve to die!"

When Mu Xi heard this, she shrugged indifferently and continued to look at Bai Xu.

Bai Xu also withdrew from the fight after hearing Mu Xi's words and said calmly, "I'll deal with the origin, you guys block it."

"Okay, hurry up." Mu Yan replied.

When Zhao Sen saw that Bai Xu took over the origin, he became even more angry and kept roaring at Mu Xi, as if he wanted to swallow Mu Xi alive.

When Mu Xi saw this, she rolled her eyes and stepped aside, making sneak attacks from time to time with her weapon.
