Ni Yingjie looked at Zhao Can beside him with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He composed himself, forced a smile, and began to comfort her. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a young man walking in the air. He was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and he quickly took out his phone to take a picture.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of knocking on the window rang out, and the two turned around in annoyance, wanting to scold this clueless guy.
"There's a ghost!"
A group of shadow warriors dressed in ninja attire guarded the car, their emotionless, scarlet eyes fixed on the two people inside...
Xu Le lay back in his chair, watching the two martial arts heroes brought before him. The sheep talisman began to alter their memories. Xu Le had no interest in their grudges and feuds, but simply gave them a hint: never come back here.
Since these two guys were too weak, Xu Le had no interest in killing them. In addition, Xu Le had just regained his human emotions and was in a good mood, so he simply erased their memories and had the shadow warrior throw them far away.
That night, after Xu Le finished eating the delicious food prepared by the Shadow Warrior, he lay down contentedly on a chair under the locust tree and went to sleep. The Shadow Warrior, understanding the situation, disappeared underground.
As night deepened, a cool breeze rustled the branches and leaves of the tall locust tree. As the crescent moon in the sky was obscured by thick dark clouds, the gloom gradually intensified, and the temperature suddenly dropped.
A chilling wind blew, but it couldn't wake Xu Le from his deep sleep...

Chapter 148: The Strange and the New World
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
The locust tree's branches and leaves moved swiftly without wind, waving wildly in the air like a ferocious demon brandishing its claws.
The yin energy gradually intensified, transforming from a thin, invisible mist into a visible gray fog in just a moment. Yin energy is something that living beings abhor; if a living person touches it, they will either fall seriously ill or die instantly if they are unlucky.
Whoosh!
The wind grew stronger, stirring up the thick, gray fog, and a strange figure emerged from the mist.
The dark clouds gradually shifted their position, allowing the moon's light, which had been blocking their view, to shine upon the world.
As the faint light faded, the strange figure gradually became clearer. Its long, thin tongue, about two or three meters long, stretched out and fell to the ground. As it moved, it dragged across the ground, secreting a disgusting green liquid that left a scratch on the stone slab. Meanwhile, more and more figures appeared in the fog, and eerie howls echoed in the courtyard, as if someone was wailing.
The first monster to emerge had a human-like face and a human-like head, but its eyes were bulging and exposed like a frog's, protected by a layer of crystal-clear liquid that shone brightly in the reflection of the silvery moonlight.
However, it now focused all its attention on Xu Le, who was sleeping, greedily scanning his body like a hungry wolf eyeing a lone lamb.
He slowly approached and stood next to Xu Le's chair. He slowly lowered his head, his huge eyes without pupils staring intently at Xu Le. His tongue began to curl from the end, slowly curling upwards, and lunged towards Xu Le's face.
A chilling wind blew, and as the monster made its move, more figures emerged from the thick fog. A large number of figures floated in the air and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Whoosh!
The long, thin, blood-red tongue twitched rapidly in the air, trying to completely entangle Xu Lewan.
"Cough cough cough, you lowly creature, who gave you the audacity to bother me!"
A massive pillar of fire erupted, engulfing the frog-eyed monster. The raging flames, imbued with a strange magic, held it firmly in place, leaving it helpless as it slowly burned to ashes.
"Roar roar roar!"
The thick fog began to riot, and all the remaining ghosts scattered in all directions upon seeing Xu Le. But how could Xu Le let them go? He drew a small circle with his right hand, and a pitch-black hole appeared. With the powerful gravity of the chicken talisman, the seemingly dense fog was pulled up into the hole in a column of air. The ghosts in the fog could not resist and tried their best to escape, but they were helpless.
"Ahhh!"
As the last monster was sucked into the inner world, the mist in the courtyard dissipated, restoring the previous tranquility. The cave entrance slowly closed, and Xu Le's divine sense swept across a three-mile radius around the courtyard. The powerful energy was like a god surveying the heavens. Although it was formless and intangible, like a hurricane that swept by in an instant, it did not affect the matter in the real world. However, some animals with stronger senses were frightened and began to flee with roars. Fortunately, the divine sense came and went quickly, and these restless animals gradually calmed down.
After several checks, a hint of amusement appeared on Xu Le's pale face. He couldn't find any place around where these guys could hide. After analyzing the soul of the sheep talisman, these guys seemed to be monsters formed from resentment and soul. They didn't have strong destructive power, but they could absorb the life force of ordinary people. Although they wouldn't kill them directly, they would make ordinary people very sick, and some people with poor constitutions might even die.
"Interesting. No wonder you were so eager to sell it to me. So this is how it works..." Xu Le sneered. Countless shadows appeared on the ground, turning into shadow warriors kneeling on the ground. A dozen or so of them turned into shadows again and fled in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, the shadow warrior returned and placed several heads on the ground, some male and some female. Without exception, they all had wide-open eyes, as if they had suffered some great fright before they died.
Xu Le took the juice that the Shadow Warrior had squeezed, looked at the several heads on the ground, a ball of flame was thrown to the ground, burning the heads into a pile of ashes, which were then swept out of the courtyard by the Shadow Warrior with a broom.
The first rays of dawn pierced the sky, the light gradually brightened, the darkness was dispelled, and a huge blue light gate opened in the seemingly ordinary courtyard before closing. The suburban courtyard returned to its tranquility, leaving only a few dark shadows quietly resting in the corner.
……………………
The beautiful, undulating mountains wind and twist, like a sleeping dragon. Looking down, white clouds fill the air, and the surrounding peaks are shrouded in mist, with each mountaintop peeking out from the clouds like a lotus flower emerging from the water.
A scholar in white robes walked along a mountain path, without any attendants following him. He coughed with every step he took, as if he were suffering from a serious illness.
The mountain path became increasingly remote, and the scholar entered a dense forest. Countless poisonous insects, snakes, and ants crawled on the ground, but they did not attack the scholar, an outsider. After all, poisonous creatures are quite cautious and remain on alert when they are not feeding. They will not attack unless they sense a threat.
The scholar had a handsome face, but his pale complexion did not detract from his charm; instead, it gave him a touch of eeriness.
Rustling sound!
There seemed to be some creature moving quickly in the bushes, causing the scholar to stop and observe quietly.
Knock knock knock!
Dull footsteps sounded, and a huge toad dressed in armor stepped out, holding a steel fork. Its body was covered with large and small pustules, making it extremely disgusting. When it saw the scholar in white robes, its eyes lit up with joy, and it shouted excitedly, "Hey, it's a living person! I'm rich!"
"What do you mean you've struck it rich? This is what I found, it should be mine!" a shrill voice mocked. A giant centipede, standing upright, emerged, dozens of legs wriggling simultaneously from its waist. For someone with trypophobia, it was the most disgusting creature imaginable. The scholar's lips curled into a strange smile, but it vanished immediately. Feigning fear, he took a few steps back and stammered, "A...a monster! What do you want to do!"
The toad and centipede, who had been arguing, burst into laughter and said in unison, "What else could we be doing? Of course, we're going to eat you! This godforsaken place hasn't seen a living person in ages. We've finally got one today, so we'll cook you up properly."
