Chapter 153 Learning Guanyin’s Specialties

I followed Haruru and walked through this complicated cemetery for most of the day. I also encountered many strange wild beasts on the way.

After finally seeing a familiar little beast, Mrs. Bai rushed over excitedly to say hello.

Unexpectedly, the other party responded with a paw, which almost made Mrs. Bai sad for a long time.

Fortunately, after an interlude, they soon reached the depths of the cemetery.

Qiongyu pavilions, pavilions and waterside pavilions make the environment very peaceful.

There was a little piglet-like beast at the door. As soon as it saw Mrs. Bai, it quickly ran in to report. After a while, a man with gray hair walked out.

"Oh! My daughter misses me so quickly!"

This person should be the former city lord. He is wearing a long robe, freed from the turmoil of time, and living here for the rest of his life.

Seeing Mrs. Bai arriving, she walked over with a smile on her face. She seemed to be living a happy old age.

But Mrs. Bai didn't have that free time to chat.

He walked forward and whispered a few words. The old man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked a few small beasts with human nature to greet everyone, and took his daughter into the inner room.

Does this count as completing the commission?

Mercenaries, look at me and I look at you. Xu Jiang seems to be doing things along the way, and they haven't been of much help. It's so easy to make money.

As for the people in Group 17, they were exhausted physically and mentally after traveling for several days.

Xiao Zhen curled up in the little ghost's arms and followed him floating along.

Before Xu Jiang could sit down and take a sip of tea, Shang Wen walked out of the room again.

"Xu Jiang, the team leader, the city lord has invited you two to come in."

Invite them in? It seems that the matter is not over so soon.

As we walked through the inner room, there was a censer in the corner with curls of green smoke, and the simple wooden furniture made Xu Jiang feel like he had traveled back to ancient times.

The mecha on him is really incompatible with this.

"Both of you, please take a seat. This time the Silent City encountered a catastrophic disaster. It was really unprepared. Fortunately, I had your help along the way."

The gray-haired old man thanked him very politely.

Mrs. Bai was forced to break into the cemetery, which shows that the situation has reached a very critical level. It is still unknown whether Xu Jiang could have broken in if it had not been for Xu Jiang's appearance.

Seeing his elders giving him face like this, Xu Jiang was naturally polite.

"City Master Bai, there's no need to be polite, we're just doing our best."

Xu Jiang's title is very particular. As a predecessor, the title "City Lord" is obviously not suitable.

But because of his age and the fact that he is Mrs. Bai's father, calling Xu Jiang this is considered an honorific title, so the other party will naturally not mind.

But then, a problem arises.

The current and former city lords were present at the same time. How to distinguish them? Xu Jiang thought of a way.

"How about this? I think our ages are about the same. How about I call you Sister Bai?"

Xu Jiang Tuqiongdijian, didn't he just want to create some sense of distance through the title.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bai knew Xu Jiang's bad thoughts in advance. She narrowed her eyes and was about to refuse the title.

Unexpectedly, her father beside her agreed immediately.

"Haha~ Of course it's no problem. You've all been through thick and thin together. It's okay to be like a brother and a sister. By the way, Xiao Jiang. How old are you this year?"

"I'm 24."

"Oh, so the age gap between you is not that big. I heard that you are from Yong'an? Are you interested in settling in our Silent City?"

Feeling that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Mrs. Bai had to stop the two of them and bring the topic back.

"Dad, now is not the time to think about other things. Silent City is now being attacked by monsters. Let's get down to business first."

"Oh, yes, yes, we must teach the mastermind a lesson now, for the sake of Silent City and the Ying family."

Ying family? Xu Jiang was stunned and looked at Ying Xiaoxiao beside him.

Of course he remembered that this operation was Ying Xiaoxiao’s unpaid help. Could it be that the matter in Silent City still had something to do with the Ying family?

Ying Xiaoxiao nodded and asked Xu Jiang to explain some of the situation.

…

If human beings want to become stronger and develop, they must rely on resources and continue to expand.

Like Teardrop Town, many small outposts have emerged and are developing into cities step by step.

And this difficult development path will inevitably lead to failure and destruction.

"My Ying family once protected a land and water, but unfortunately it disappeared in the end."

"Destroyed by wild beasts?"

"No, by traitors, by faceless people." Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of hatred.

Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather was once a famous and powerful man. He led a group of like-minded comrades and vowed to expand the territory for mankind and successfully built a stronghold.

At that time, the Ying family was in high spirits, and its business base was booming. If nothing unexpected happened, it would surely become a major town in a few decades and slowly move towards the city.

It is a pity that the stronghold, which was defended day and night, difficult to guard against domestic thieves and invulnerable to foreign enemies, was defeated by traitors.

Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather was attacked and fell into a deep sleep.

"Sleeping? Just sleeping and not seriously injured?" Xu Jiang asked strangely.

"Yes, with Grandpa's strength, how could an ordinary sneak attack seriously injure him? The traitor used a special weapon, and the toxins on it can make people fall into a deep sleep and cannot wake up."

In the age of catastrophe, human beings should work together to fight against wild beasts.

But there is such a group of people who want to destroy the world, they are the Faceless People.

For the sake of power and profit, some people choose to betray, throw themselves into the arms of the Faceless Men, launch sneak attacks on those who protect them, steal property, and then escape.

It stands to reason that the stronger you are, the more resistant you are to the erosion of [Crazy Calamity]. Ordinary attacks cannot hurt Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather at all.

But one of the six executives of the Faceless Men condensed [Madness] and improved it into [Sleep Toxin]

Regardless of the opponent's strength, once poisoned, they will fall into eternal sleep.

"Can't external force remove this toxin?"

"I've tried everything I can think of, but it doesn't work."

Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of sorrow: "Seeing that the stronghold is about to be breached, our last attempt is to let grandpa advance."

The Ying family has a talent for inheritance, which can pass power into the bodies of their loved ones.

This last attempt is to gather the strength of the whole clan to push Grandpa to advance, in order to break the influence of the curse.

Fortunately, the Ying family won their bet, and Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather successfully woke up and defeated the enemy.

Unfortunately, the price is the lives of the entire Ying family.

Ying Xiaoxiao's grandfather was so distraught that he wanted to take revenge regardless of the whole family, but he returned home seriously injured with hatred.

Before he died, he passed on his power to Ying Xiaoxiao and entrusted Lei Luo to raise the last single seedling of the Ying family.

This dazzling effort shows that 20 years have passed. Ying Xiaoxiao worked hard to make money and improve his own strength, and never forgot revenge for a moment.

And now, she has waited for the first opportunity...

Just as he was talking, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the room, and a big green bird flew in.

In a blink of an eye, he jumped straight into Mrs. Bai's arms and kept rubbing against Mrs. Bai's body.

Mrs. Bai hugged it excitedly and stroked the big bird affectionately.

"That's great. You finally woke up. I was really afraid that you wouldn't be able to sleep."

Hearing this, Xu Jiang suddenly realized: "No wonder the team leader said he wanted to help voluntarily. This is your elf partner, right? He has also been infected with the [Sleep] poison?"

The contracted elf returned, and Madam Bai's body once again ignited her elegant temperament, a feeling of ecstasy, which represented the return of strength to its peak.

Madam Bai breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "You are right, it was Fengfeng who helped me block the attack. Otherwise, this time, I might really be in trouble for my Silent City."

No wonder the enemy doesn't dare to attack, and has been frantically testing

According to the plan, a dead soldier will attack Mrs. Bai and put her to sleep forever.

But this time the attack was blocked by her spiritual pet.

Although the effect was the same, Mrs. Bai lost all her strength, but the dead soldier was killed, and the enemy did not know the specific situation.

Just seeing that Mrs. Bai was still very energetic, she naturally felt weak and didn't dare to attack the border with an army.

This gave everyone the opportunity to come to this cemetery and seek help from the elves of the older generation.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this plan is exactly the same as that of the Ying family back then. No wonder Ying Xiaoxiao didn't even want any reward and vowed to unite the Silent City.

Speaking of this, Ying Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Xu Jiang with a serious face.
To be continued...
