Mixed among the villagers, Zhou Ming slowly walked towards the gray mist.

The distance is getting closer.

Five meters...three meters...one meter.

Facing the swirling fog in front of him, Zhou Ming suddenly smiled.

Then he stretched out his hand like lightning.

Straight into the gray mist.

He was not afraid of the huge twisting force, which was about to twist his arm into pieces.

In fact, Zhou Ming was not worried that his arm would be injured, because it could be seen from the corpses of the villagers that were twisted into skeletons that this gray mist could not even break the bones of ordinary people.

They can only use the strong corrosiveness of the gray fog to devour the flesh and blood of the villagers, as well as their...souls.

Therefore, Zhou Ming was 100% sure that what was hidden in this gray mist was not a person, but a "thing".

A powerful thing.

"Ha, I got you!"

Zhou Ming, who was extremely fast, grabbed the thing from the gray mist and pulled it out with all his strength!

It is a stick made of special material.

At the top of the stick is a blood-red triangular flag with various weird patterns painted on it.

The pungent smell of blood emanated from the flags, and countless demons and monsters screamed.

Zhou Ming, who was holding the stick, also felt a huge suction force, a huge suction force on the soul level.

"System, take action quickly!"

Zhou Ming told the system in his mind that although his soul was powerful, he was still a little unable to hold up in the face of this demon flag that had swallowed the souls of tens of thousands of people.

What's more, there is also a ray of divine consciousness of a super powerful person in this magic flag, which must not be underestimated.

Fortunately, there is a system in Zhou Ming's mind. At the soul level, there is no conscious body that can be the opponent of the system.

"Understood, host!"

After the system responded, Zhou Ming's mind rang with a blockbuster sound:

"Ding, destroy 1 primary soul, plane resolution +0%..."

"Ding, destroy 1 intermediate soul, plane resolution +0.0001%..."

"Ding, destroy 1 high-level soul fragment, and the plane resolution will be +0.15%..."

In less than a minute, tens of thousands of souls in the magic flag were all swallowed up by the system.

Including the super strong man's spiritual clone, he couldn't even make a struggle and turned into a little plane resolution, speeding up Zhou Ming's progress.

good!

This was an opportunity, and the system required Zhou Ming to seize it.

Because that pole flag is the legendary "soul-eating flag" used by the powerful demon clan. The refining conditions are extremely harsh. In order to make it have the greatest power, it must swallow more than 18,000 souls before it can exert its amazing effect. The terrifying power of color change.

The "Soul-Eating Flag" that Zhou Ming won is a nearly finished product that has swallowed more than 10,000 souls, and it is also a "tonic" that the system needs.

Because the soul itself carries a lot of "information", especially some powerful souls that contain law information, the system is coveted.

Devouring these souls has become another important addition to the system besides Zhou Ming as the host... a supplement that improves the resolution of the plane.

Of course, it is not possible to forcibly swallow the soul of a strong person, as it will be detected by the guardian of the plane, so the system needs a medium, a medium that is separated from the body... For example, the Soul-Eating Banner. If there is a Soul-Eating Banner as a medium, the system will If you swallow the soul of a strong person, the probability of being discovered by the guardian will be greatly reduced.

This is the reason why Zhou Ming is confident about the task of "Ancient Temple Murder" and actively completes it.

But for this, Zhou Ming also offended a top demon clan expert.

…

In an extremely dark space.

On top of a giant seat.

A strong man suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, as if he had been severely injured.

Then he went crazy and launched attacks in all directions, with endless explosions.

"Asshole, bastard!"

"My treasure, my treasure that is about to be refined!"

"Kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

The strong man's roar could be heard hundreds of miles away, and everyone who heard it trembled in fear.

…

Controlling the Soul-Eating Banner will capture the evil spirits floating around the village and in the bodies of the controlled villagers (evil spirits are pure thoughts, with much less plasticity and complexity than the soul) into the banner.

Roll up the flags and put away the soul-eating flags.

The white fog shrouding Yongshui Village gradually dissipated.

The villagers also woke up in twos and threes.

In the darkness, when some villagers fumbled to light torches and gradually restored some light to the village, the scene in the central square of the village made them scream one after another.

Bones.

Numerous bones.

About eight hundred villagers died in the attack.

Of course, Zhou Ming left quietly long ago, met up with Chen En and others, and returned to the tavern at the entrance of the village.

When Tan Ke and the others rushed back to the village at high speed, the crisis had long passed, except for the sad and wailing sounds that could be heard from almost every household... This year's "Black Sky Festival" is a heartbreaking day for Yongshui Village. .

"Xiao Zhou, where are Xiao En and the others? Are they okay?"

What Tan Ke and the others were most worried about was the safety of Zhou Ming and the others. As soon as they returned to the village, they started looking around.

Soon they all breathed a sigh of relief and saw the five people intact in the tavern at the entrance of the village.

What surprised Tan Ke and the others even more was that Zhou Ming and the others repelled the mastermind behind the scenes and saved most of the villagers in Yongshui Village.

"I have long said that those who create phantom formations to kill passers-by and people are not evil cultivators at all, but demons."

"Evil cultivators kill people regardless of day or night. There is no need to create any magic formations. They can just do it directly. It won't be so complicated."

"And why that ancient temple only started killing people on the dark day can only prove that it is a demon clan that cannot see the sun."

"That white mist is actually not an illusion formation, but a substance from the demon world. After inhaling, it has a strong hallucinogenic effect, thus losing the ability to resist and becoming food for the demons."

On the square table on the second floor of the tavern, Zhou Ming was reasoning in an orderly manner.

"Demons...are there really demons in this world?"

Qiao Xue held her cheeks in her hands and murmured to herself, still a little unbelievable.

Because the demons described by Zhou Ming are a special "life" that lives thousands of miles underground. It is mainly made up of the souls of dead animals and plants that sink to the ground and attach themselves to underground creatures. They do not require water and Food, cannot see sunlight, see things with spiritual eyes, some demons are powerful individuals, comparable to powerful immortals; some are extremely weak and vulnerable.

More importantly, there are not only many types of demons, but also extremely large numbers.

Even thousands of miles underground, a huge demon world was formed.

Zhou Ming nodded and said:

"The world is full of wonders. Although humans like us live on the endless vast land and enjoy the sunshine, rain and dew, the area in which we move is only on the surface layer compared to the endless thickness of the earth. , it would not be surprising if there are other weird races, not to mention demons, under the ground that we have never set foot in."

"But demons do exist, because I have seen records of this in the diplomatic books in the school library."

As the foreign exchange activities of Wancheng Kingdom increase, of course, they learn more about the outside world.

For example, there is a continent hundreds of millions of miles away from Zhongyuan Continent. There is a bottomless abyss on the earth. Every dark day, countless demons will emerge and hunt and kill humans. On that continent, The war between humans and demons has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, and humans can only passively defend... because the number of demons is so terrifying.

"Then you mean that there is a gap leading to the demon world under that ancient temple, and the demons came up through that gap?"

Tan Ke immediately figured out the key and nodded repeatedly.

This can be explained clearly, it can explain why bombing the ancient temple has no effect, it can explain why mysterious deaths occur near the ancient temple every year, and why the mastermind behind the scenes always appears and disappears near the ancient temple...

"not good!"

Tan Ke's expression changed again, "If the ancient temple is bombarded with Lingyuan warships, wouldn't the crack be even wider and more demons would escape?"

"I must report this matter to my superiors and never bring in the Lingyuan battleship!"

At this moment, Tan Ke completely believed Zhou Ming's inference. After dawn, he immediately returned to the remaining large pit of the ancient temple. Sure enough, he found a thumb-width gap at the bottom of the pit. He poured water into it, but it couldn't be filled, just like a Bottomless pit.

About 100 tons of cement were injected into it, and after it dried and solidified, a 100-ton boulder was suppressed at the original site of the ancient temple. The crack leading from the devil world to the human world was finally sealed.

The mystery of "The Murder in the Ancient Temple" in Yongshui Village that has not been solved for hundreds of years has been solved.
