Chapter 227: Scent of Paper

The appearance of Lu Ran made many soldiers' eyes light up and they looked at him carefully.

It can be seen that many people recognized this great Xia Jiao.

After Chen Jingjing worshipped the gods, he went to negotiate with the soldiers.

Lu Ran went to the trunk and took out his weapon.

"Are you okay?" A beautiful figure came to his side.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head and saw Jiang Ruyi's profile.

Jiang Ruyi picked up the Jiye Knife and looked at Lu Ran: "You have been very silent all along the way."

Lu Ran nodded silently and sighed in his heart.

I am not a very competent son.

His mother has always been an extremely powerful being in his mind.

The sudden situation caught him off guard, but he was weak and powerless to do anything.

"Because of Auntie's matter?" Jiang Ruyi came behind Lu Ran and tied and fixed the scabbard for him.

"Yes." Lu Ran picked up the Xiaguang Knife and handed it behind him.

"Sister Jingjing said that we can only stay in the magic cave for seven days." Jiang Ruyi whispered, carefully packing equipment for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran understood what the other party meant and turned to look at the girl: "After the training is over, will you accompany me back to the capital to see her?"

Jiang Ruyi smiled and nodded gently: "Okay."

Her eyes were clear and her smile was so charming that Lu Ran was slightly distracted.

On the side, Chen Jingjing couldn't help but look at Jiang Ruyi a few more times.

"Excuse me." Si Xianxian came over at an inopportune time and pulled out a 2-meter-long obsidian hammer from the trunk.

She had something even more inappropriate to say. She wanted to travel around here and experience the local customs and culture of the West Sea.

But Si Xianxian was embarrassed to say
"Let's go." Chen Jingjing reminded.

"Let's go!" Lu Ran took the lead and followed Chen Jingjing with two teammates.

Immediately, Lu Ran felt the influence of "Tianjiao".

Wherever he went, the soldiers looked at him as if a flower had grown on his face.

Lu Ran was also secretly glad that he had been wearing a hat and mask when he was on the plane before, otherwise he would have been blocked by people in the airport.

Led by a soldier, the group of four spiraled down along the stone pillar steps.

The gate to the devil's cave below looks like a starry sky curtain, mysterious and profound.

"Whoo~"

As everyone walked in, a gust of night wind blew, ruffling Lu Ran's short hair.

His eyes focused and he saw a bright moon hanging in the distant sky.

As Lu Ran was looking, a floating cloud happened to pass by, gradually covering the bright moon.

Full of artistic conception!

After admiring it for a moment, Lu Ran looked at the topography of the magic cave.

What comes into view is endless mountains and forests.

"Everyone, please speed up." The leading soldier's urging voice came from below.

"Oh." Lu Ran responded loudly and walked quickly downwards.

The group descended a full hundred meters before they stepped foot on solid ground and entered the magnificent stone city.

Two middle-aged male soldiers strode forward. Judging from their ages, they must be in their mid-forties.

Among them, the leading soldier said: "My name is Li Ming, a follower of Dust Shadow, and a first-level soldier in Jiangjing.

This is Li Xin, a Biwu follower, and a Jiangjing 2nd Stage.

The two of us will accompany you throughout this training mission."

Lu Ran looked at the two people's similar faces and began to wonder.

These two people should be brothers, both of whom are powerful in Jiang Realm.

Among them, there is even a Dust Shadow believer?
You know, the Dust Shadow believers who are willing to enter the world are of strategic value, and each one is a treasure!
The military of this devil's den actually sent out such a person to be their leader?

Lu Ran vaguely felt that this seemed to be special care from the military.

After all, when he went to the Night Demon Cave for training before, there was only one Biwu believer leading the team.

Chen Jingjing spoke calmly and introduced himself: "Jianyi follower, Jiang Jing, Chen Jingjing."

For some reason, Chen Jingjing did not reveal her specific level of strength.

However, the two words "Jiangjing" are enough.

Chen Jingjing gestured to the people beside him: "These three are practitioners."

Lu Ran and others immediately introduced themselves.

"I recognize you." Li Ming's eyes fell on Lu Ran.

"Thank you for your help, both of you." Lu Ran was very humble.

What Li Ming said was beyond Lu Ran's expectation: "It is our honor."

On the side, Si Xianxian nodded secretly.

So sensible!
It is certainly an honor to lead Da Xia Tian Jiao through training and protect Lu Ran’s life!

The two brothers distributed lighting and communication equipment to several people, and then led the team towards the east gate of Stone City.

Along the way, Li Ming repeatedly emphasized discipline, and even if Lu Ran was a genius, he could not violate it in the slightest.

Otherwise, they will be asked to leave the cave directly.

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, he felt more confident.

With a Dust Shadow believer in the team, everyone's life safety will naturally be greatly guaranteed!

That dark red spider lily can lead everyone to escape from the battlefield at any time.

It's simply a BUG!

The group walked out of the east gate and saw a few scattered torches extending to the entrance of the forest.

"Our destination this time is Yanzhi Village." Li Ming walked at the back of the team, "Everyone just follow the torches." "Yanzhi Village?" Lu Ran couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes." Li Ming introduced, "Inside the demon cave, the terrain is relatively simple, and once an unusual environment appears, it will always attract the attention of the evil demons.

Over the years, we have accumulated a certain amount of experience and discovered that the Yanzhi clan has a special liking for ancient houses in deserted villages.

Therefore, we have built many villages and houses in the mountains and forests."

Lu Ran's mind was moved: "Just like the Night Demons, they like lakes? They always gather near the lake?"

"That's about right." Li Ming nodded, "Our soldiers will patrol each Yanzhi village regularly to eliminate the evil spirits there.

Now we are going to the Yanzhi Village which is the closest to our main city."

Good guy~
Lu Ran grinned: "Build a village for them?

Wouldn't it be easier to just build a lake, or destroy a forest, or create an abnormal environment?"

Li Ming shook his head and said, “The abnormal terrain will indeed attract the attention of the evil spirits, but it will not allow the Yanzhi clan to stay for long.

Most of them just take a look and leave.

The old houses in deserted villages are different.”

Lu Ran was confused and turned to look at the male soldier: "What do you mean, the Yan paper man can live in there?"

Li Ming nodded: "It's very likely.

Even a small number of Yanzhi people would fight and kill each other over the ownership of the ancient house."

Lu Ran: ???
Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian looked at each other in surprise. They felt that they had learned something new today.

It is not uncommon for evil spirits to kill each other.

After all, they are all cruel and violent, so who would tolerate whom?

However, demons from the same ethnic group generally will not turn their swords against each other.

The fundamental reason is that these evil minions came from the same evil sculpture.

And on the night of the 15th, demons of different races are less likely to kill each other.

The human race is the fat meat in their eyes. With such an extreme temptation, how can the evil demons have time to care about their colleagues?
What's more, the demons have instructions engraved in their bones to collect human fear emotions.

Jiang Ruyi suddenly said, "Since the Yanzhi clan is quite fond of ancient houses, can we also build such a place in our city?"

The girl's meaning is very clear, people should make reasonable use of this characteristic of Rouge Paper Man.

On the night of the fifteenth day of every month, the Rouge Paper People would be lured to the ancient house instead of causing trouble in the city.

Li Ming is willing to answer questions for this group of young people: "Our world is a colorful world, which is different from this boring and monotonous magic cave.

Moreover, the Rouge Paper Man is essentially an evil demon.

Once they appear in the city, they only see the human race and won’t care about the ancient house.”

Jiang Ruyi nodded silently.

Come to think of it, aren’t there a lot of ancient buildings of all kinds in the human world?

If this kind of building was really that attractive to the Yanzhi people, Daxia would have promoted it long ago.

"Sister Jingjing." Lu Ran called out.

Chen Jingjing turned her head and saw Lu Ran nodding with a smile: "The three of us are training, you can just stay behind the team, you don't have to clear the way for us."

"Yes." Chen Jingjing immediately stepped back.

She is obviously the noble and arrogant disciple of Jianyi, and a powerful person in Jiangjing, but she is so obedient.

Si Xianxian watched this scene and exclaimed in amazement:

"I just discovered today that Lu Ran is a young master."

Lu Ran strode forward and said unhappily, “Yes, you, the maid, walk safely behind.

I, your young master, will be your meat shield, draw hatred, and clear the way for you!"

"Hahahaha~" Si Xianxian couldn't help laughing out loud and joked, "Thank you, young master!"

"Anti-Tiangang!" Lu Ran muttered to himself and plunged into the forest.

As Si Xianxian's laughter died down, the forest fell into dead silence again.

Only the rustling sound of leaves in the night wind blowing through the forest was even more creepy.

Lu Ran raised his hand above his shoulder and drew out the Silent Night Sword. He walked along the path in the forest with a tense mind.

After walking for a long time, Lu Ran suddenly found that there was an open space ahead.

He took a few quick steps, and before he was about to walk out of the forest, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Deserted village?

From a distance, it looks quite large.

In the night sky, the bright moon casts a layer of clear light on the houses, big and small.

There is a huge stone at the entrance to the village.

There were three big blood-red characters written on it - Yanzhi Village.

"Wow~" Lu Ran looked at the big bloody words and was really enlightened.

Behind, a group of people quickly walked out of the forest.

Li Ming looked at the quiet Yanzhi Village under the moonlight and said at the right time: "Our troops have just cleaned up this place.

We can go into the village and inspect it, familiarize ourselves with the terrain, and then set up an ambush and wait for the paper-rouge man to fall into our trap."

Lu Ran suddenly said, "Someone is here."

Li Ming: “What?”

Lu Ran walked towards the village, leaving his back to everyone. He secretly shrugged his nose and said softly:
"Rouge paper figurine."

Li Ming and Li Xin looked at each other, and Chen Jingjing also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Under the moonlight, Yanzhi Village was dead silent, and no one noticed any energy fluctuations.

However, Lu Ran was at the entrance of the village and directly told everyone that there was a rouge paper doll in the village?
you
Yes, you are a genius.

We all know that you are extremely strong and rank seventh in Daxia.

But aren't you a little too weird?
