44-The Monster Arrives

When Kang Jia saw Xiao Ling for the first time, he felt a strong sense of doubt.

The old man in his eyes was wearing a white shirt, his complexion had the peculiar paleness of the elderly, and his face was covered with spots that only the elderly would grow.

His body was as thin as a stick, his palms were like dry branches, and he didn't have two catties of flesh.

It seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down.

Behind him was an old cow who was also emaciated, which seemed to be a good match. The key is that there is no rope around the old cow's neck, and the old man will cry when the cow runs away.

It wasn't just Kang Jia who thought so, but also some generals who heard the news and came over with doubts on their faces.

What is the use of such an old man running here? Come to die?

Could it be a fake?

For a moment, such thoughts arose in everyone's hearts, and their eyes were full of doubts.

Until Xiao Ling, who was surrounded, took out the token given by Lu Li, and after confirming the authenticity, everyone around knelt down and shouted:

"Welcome to the envoy!"

Kang Jia also knelt down obediently, but the doubts in her heart were really difficult to dispel.

What's the use of such a weak old man even if he

comes?

Not only him, but many people have the same idea as him, and everyone is passing questions to each other.

That monster can tear even a grand master alive, so why are you still afraid of you, an old man who has stepped into the gate of hell with one and a half feet?

And the old man was alone, with only an old buffalo behind him.

Could it be that he came here to solve the monster?

After thinking about it like this, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, so the eyes of hope dimmed slightly.

During this period of time, everyone has been plagued by that monster, and finally hoped that the imperial court would send someone over, but it turned out to be an old man who probably couldn't even take care of himself.

The people who came with hope left with

disappointment, and only Kang Jia was left.

Kang Jia also wanted to leave, but Xiao Ling was an envoy sent by the imperial court after all, so he couldn't make others look too ugly, so he could only say hello first.

Seeing Xiao Ling's indifferent expression, Kang Jia asked cautiously:

"I don't know what the envoy is talking about when he came to Stone Forest this time?"

"If necessary, I will try my best to do it, so please rest assured."

But...

after finishing speaking, Kang Jia deliberately

paused before continuing:

"However, it is troublesome season in Shilin at this time, and there is a monster outside the city that is extremely powerful, so it is best for the envoy not to leave the city as much as possible."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the envoy, I won't be able to bear it."

Xiao Ling didn't take Kang Jia's words to heart, he came this time just for the monster they said.

It's just that the young man let the walking corpse move freely, probably because he thought that no one could threaten the walking corpse.

Blue Bird said that walking corpses belong to the initial stage of refining corpses.

The walking dead at this stage are strong, thick, and have a powerful self-healing effect.

To the mortals in this world, whose highest level is no more than the realm of the Grand Master of Martial Arts, it is indeed a formidable monster.

Refining walking corpses requires objects with strong physique and fresh corpses.

The better the physique and the fresher the corpse, the greater the chance of success.

However, refining walking corpses also has

disadvantages.

After successful refining, the refiner needs to

refine a drop of blood essence into the corpse every half a month, so as to achieve the effect of moving the body at will.

And this process takes at least a year, and the refining process cannot be interrupted within a year, otherwise the walking corpse will be in danger of backlash at any time.

The longer the refining time, the better the effect will be!

During this period, the walking corpse also needs a lot of blood to warm up, as well as the advancement of devouring flesh and blood.

A year later, the walking corpse will be able to use its arms and fingers, and if it is properly warmed up, it will successfully advance to the lowest level of "zombie"!

At that time, Lan Que said that he didn't continue talking, which caused Xiao Ling to be ignorant of the following realm.

However, judging from the blue bird's disdainful attitude, it seems that "stiffness" is not that great.

It is also easy to kill walking corpses, this kind of thing is a monster to mortals, it is difficult to defeat.

But to a cultivator, even a cultivator like Xiao Ling who only knows the most elementary spells is nothing.

When Xiao Ling heard Lan Que say this, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He has never fought against a cultivator. Although he is confident in his preparations on the surface, he actually doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

You can only try your best to understand your opponent, and you can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy.

He had also asked the Blue Sparrow if there was

anything wrong with the young man.

Lan Que hesitated for a moment at the time, saying that the young man should be practicing the dead body technique, and the biggest help is this walking corpse.

Other estimates are the same as Xiao Ling's, just

knowing a little magic, so it's not a big problem.

In addition, he had already arrived at Stone Forest, and the sixth sense didn't send any warning, so everything seemed to be fine.

Kang Jia was still waiting respectfully, even though he was very impatient in his heart, he couldn't show it.

In his opinion, the envoy's coming here at this time is purely to hinder him.

Now there are monsters killing around outside, and envoys from inside are coming to add to the obstruction.

It is simply internal and external troubles!

And I still don't know what the envoy's trip to Stone Forest is all about.

If it's too difficult, should he agree or refuse?

Just when Kang Jia was in a dilemma, the old man, who in his eyes was too thin and could be blown down by a gust of wind, suddenly frowned.He just said "everyone stay in the city" and disappeared in an instant.

Kang Jia could swear that he really didn't see how the old man disappeared.

It seems that there is a sound , and the person is gone!

Kang Jia's mouth could not be closed for a long time, could it be that he really guessed wrong?

This old man who seems to have stepped half of his foot into the gate of hell, is he really a hidden expert?

Was it really sent by the imperial court to rescue Shi Lin?

After finally calming down, Kang Jia found that the buffalo that followed the old man had disappeared.

He swore, he really didn't see why the cow was gone, and Kang Jia felt absurd for a while.

Could it be that the world has changed?

Only then did Kang Jia, who was skeptical about her life, remember that Xiao Ling seemed to have said "everyone stays in the city" just before he disappeared?

What does it mean?

Just for a moment, the pensive Kang Jia was trembling, shaking like chaff, muttering to himself:

"Is there a monster coming?"

After all, he was the lord of the city, Kang Jia stood in place and managed to calm down, and immediately turned around to prepare for defense.

Although the envoy has passed, he has to do his job well.

Regardless of whether the envoy has dealt with the monster or not, he must calm the terrified hearts of everyone in the city.

So Kang Jia immediately ordered people to send a letter to close the gate of the city, and everyone was not allowed to stay on the street, and the doors of each house were closed tightly, and no one was allowed to come out without an order.

By the way, let people spread the word around the city, saying that His Majesty has sent experts to deal with the monsters, so that everyone can rest assured.

No matter whether the monster can be solved or not, the stone forest cannot be messed up.

Originally, his head was still stored on his shoulders.

If Shilin caused chaos and caused casualties, his head would definitely have to be moved.

Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion started to take action, jumping around for a while.

After everything was arranged, Kang Jia trotted towards the city wall.

He wants to see what kind of ability this envoy has, to dare to challenge that invulnerable monster alone.

No matter whether the envoy succeeded in killing the monster or was killed by the monster, he had to know immediately.

This is related to the question of whether he will curry favor with the envoy or stick to the stone forest.

At this moment, the small city wall was already full of people, even a few generals leading troops.

Kang Jia managed to squeeze through and stood on the edge of the city wall, and the scene in the distance came into view.

In the distance, there was a burly and sturdy man

coming from the official road, and he seemed to be carrying something in his hand.

Because it was too far away, Kang Jia couldn't see very clearly, so he stretched his neck to look, and many people around him were like him.

The strong man got closer and closer until everyone saw what the strong man was carrying.

It was half of the upper body, which was held by the strong man's hair like a piece of wood.

All the way on the ground was blood falling from

people's bodies.

The whole body of the strong man was covered with blood, as if dyed.

The breeze blowing from the official road blew the smell of blood into everyone's nostrils, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

"vomit!"

There was a sound of vomiting at the scene, only those soldiers who had been on the battlefield were better, but they all turned pale and tried to bear the fear.

"Monster, monster!"
