The group walked slowly on the street. The whole street was sparsely lit. If not for the swaying shadows, they would have thought it was an empty city.
"There is an inn in front." Yao Feng, who was walking at the front, shouted. They had been walking in the city for so long and finally saw an inn. They thought there would be no inn in such a big city.
"Don't you think this place is shady? Will there be ghosts? "Fire Phoenix stood on the back of the donkey and horse beast excitedly, looking around.
Guan Jie looked at Fire Phoenix, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
"I haven't seen it yet. Who knows if ghosts are really scary?" Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
White Tiger's face was indifferent. "Scary."
"Have you seen it?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"Yes." White Tiger nodded. He had seen it once. The ghost race lived in the dead, a place that even the gods of the nine heavens were unwilling to go to. In addition to consuming a great deal of spiritual power, one could be affected by the ghost energy at any time.
In short, the dead was a land of Asura.
Fire Phoenix walked to White Tiger's side curiously. "Tell me, what are ghosts like?"
Although they often talked about ghosts, they were only ghosts and wild ghosts, not the kind of real ghost cultivators.
Chou Zhen was once a ghost cultivator, but his cultivation was only superficial. If he really became a ghost cultivator, it would not be easy to kill him.
"Little Fire." Ye Zhen frowned and stopped him. "Don't ask."
She saw that White Tiger did not seem to want to talk about this topic. His eyes were full of resistance, but Fire Phoenix could not see it at all and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Fire Phoenix resentfully stopped asking questions.
"Little Yao." White Tiger whispered to Ye Zhen. "There is really something wrong here. Be careful."
Although Ye Zhen was not as sensitive as White Tiger, she could already feel the strangeness of the city.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen nodded gently and found that she had been protected by Woo Sheng and others.
Her heart was slightly startled as this was not the first time. Ever since they set off from Ding Capital City, they had always seemed to be protecting her. This was a habit that they had done thousands of times. When they went to an unfamiliar place, they would always protect her in the middle like this.
They had already arrived outside the inn. Ji Shen stepped forward and pushed the door open. "Shopkeeper, is there a room?"
There was only one lit lamp in the inn. Apart from the innkeeper, there was no one else inside.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with big shoulders and a round waist. He was dressed in dark blue coarse clothes, and he looked like a ball sitting behind the counter. He lazily opened his eyes, and when he saw Ji Shen and the others, his small eyes widened. "Guest … Guest, how many of you are here?"
"Six men," said Tizhen. "Two of them are not men."
The Fire Phoenix and White Tiger immediately glared at him.
Ye Zhen hurriedly said, "Eight people, it's eight people."
"Our inn doesn't have any more rooms." The innkeeper chuckled as he spoke. His plump face looked like it was about to blossom into a flower.
"Are you kidding us? They are all empty rooms." Yao Feng pointed to the rooms upstairs that were not lit. Did he really think that they could not tell?
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Those … those are all reserved."
Wu Sheng stood up and said, "It's just a reservation. We're only staying for one night."
"Then … alright then." The shopkeeper took a step back, looking a little afraid of strangers.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at the inn. She couldn't tell what was strange about it, but she felt that the inn was full of strangeness.
"Yao Yao, I'll share a room with you." The Fire Phoenix came to Ye Zhen's side and told him to protect her well.
"In your dreams!" Ji Shen pushed the Fire Phoenix away. "Xiao Yao and Fan Fan are sharing a room. You and him are not human."
"You are not human!" Fire Phoenix and White Tiger replied in unison.
Wu Sheng called out to Ji Shen helplessly, "Ji Shen!"
"I can't even make a joke." Ji Shen said with a smile.
The innkeeper who led the way suddenly trembled. "Oh, guests, this way please."
"Innkeeper, there are not many people in the city." Fan Fan asked with a smile.
"It's the middle of the night. Everyone is asleep." The innkeeper replied.
Ye Zhen said faintly, "It's not the middle of the night. Isn't it just dark?"
"We … we don't like to go out at night in this small place." The innkeeper replied with a stiff smile. "Everyone, this is the inn's room. You can make yourself at home. Our inn has few guests on weekdays. If you need anything, just let us know."
Wu Sheng nodded faintly.
The innkeeper did not dare to look at Wu Sheng. He bowed his head and went back downstairs.
"Xiao Yao, I'll go out and have a look." After entering the room, Fan Fan whispered to Ye Zhen.
"I'll go too." Ye Zhen said softly. She felt that the innkeeper's eyes were evasive and strange. She also wanted to know what was going on.
"You don't have to go. Wu Sheng and Shu Li have already gone out." Yao Feng, who lived next door, said.
Ye Zhen and Fan Fan looked at each other. Fan Fan smiled and said, "Then Xiao Yao will make noodles for us."
"I'll find out where the kitchen is." Ye Zhen smiled and planned to borrow the kitchen from the innkeeper. However, when she went downstairs, she could not find the innkeeper.
"The innkeeper must have recognized us." Fan Fan said with a smile, "But how did a low-level beast hide his aura?"
If it were not for the beast's panic, they would not have discovered that he was a beast in human form.
"Such a big bowl, and look at the chopsticks, they're too big …" Ye Zhen looked around the inn and found the kitchen in the back with Fanfan. "There's no firewood here. This doesn't look like an inn at all." "That's right.
Fan Fan frowned at all this. "Xiao Yao, do you remember? We have encountered such a situation before. "
"Hmm?" Ye Zhen looked at Fan Fan doubtfully.
"Oh, I forgot. You haven't remembered the past." Fan Fan smiled. "We once sneaked out to play behind the High Lord's back. When we passed by a village, it was the same situation. At that time, I had just become a blood demon. I didn't find anything wrong. In the middle of the night, I found you missing."
Ye Zhen listened carefully. When she saw the nostalgic look on Fan Fan's face, she knew that they were certainly not in danger.
"Do you know what you became when I found you?" Fan Fan giggled.
"What?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
"A toad demon." Fan Fan laughed cheerfully. "That stinky fox demon was jealous that you look better than her, so she deliberately made you ugly."
Ye Zhen's mouth twitched. She did not want to imagine what it would be like to become a toad. "Fox demon?"
"No, it's a stinky fox demon. The smell on her body stinks. Because of this, the most powerful cultivation method she has is to conceal her smell." Fan Fan touched her chin. "Maybe there is a stinky fox demon in this city."
"Did she turn all the people into demons? Or is what we saw just an illusion? "Ye Zhen frowned.
Fan Fan's expression became serious. "I'm afraid it's not an illusion. The people in this city are either locked up or eaten …"
