The red-scaled treasure car had already driven away and disappeared at the end of the road. Chen Xi was left alone in the same place, looking around and unable to find anything related to Fire Crow Town.
The place is surrounded by vast wilderness, with green and yellow weeds swaying in the wind. It is so vast and desolate that it is completely impossible to see where Fire Crow Town is located.
Fortunately, his consciousness was strong enough. After searching for a few thousand miles nearby, he finally found a wooden sign hidden in the grass.
The wooden sign was in great decay and hung on a rotten branch. It was similar in color to the surrounding weeds, so it was indeed difficult to find it without looking carefully.
There were only three crooked words written on the wooden sign - Fire Crow Town.
Chen Xi jumped up to the wooden sign, looked at it for a moment, and with a thought in his heart, he waved his hand and slashed it out. A sharp wind of his palm swept away like a sharp blade. The nearby dense weeds, which were as tall as a person, were cut in half.
A winding path appeared in front of me.
"Spring comes and autumn comes, and the vegetation grows and withers, but these weeds have blocked the path to Fire Crow Town. In fact, looking from the sky, we should be able to find the location of Fire Crow Town, but in this way, the traces are exposed, and it is very difficult to find the location of Fire Crow Town. not worth it… "
Chen Xi thought for a while and walked forward along the path without hesitation.
It was dusk and the cold wind suddenly picked up. Chen Xi ran for nearly a cup of tea before he vaguely saw a small town appearing on the ground line.
What surprised him was that over the town, there was a thick layer of dark smog, like the evil spirit of an innocent soul, condensing and not dissipating, exuding a strong bloody and gloomy atmosphere.
"It is said that there are many extremely evil people hiding in Huoya Town. Their hands are all stained with blood. They have committed heinous crimes that are outraged by both humans and gods. That is why they are wanted and hunted by the entire Da Chu Dynasty cultivation world. At this time, only those lingering around Judging from the evil spirit, this rumor is not false."
While thinking, Chen Xi swept forward.
Wuwuwu... The night falls, the cold wind howls, and the airflow is filled with a gloomy chill. It is cold and terrifying, howling on the earth like an evil spirit, making the Fire Crow Town in the distance look like a ghost town.
Chen Xi suddenly stopped because he saw a thin figure rushing out of Fire Crow Town and running towards him.
This was a scrawny young man, so thin that a gust of wind could blow him away, but his head was huge and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.
"Welcome to Huoya Town. I'm the waiter from Huoya Tavern. Please just call me Qiao Sheng. It must be your first time to Huoya Town. Do you need a guide?" This man named Qiao Sheng The skinny young man has a bright smile, showing off his snow-white teeth, which makes it easy for people to like him.
"Guide?" Chen Xi asked with interest. He had already seen that Qiao Sheng's cultivation was only at the Huangting realm and could not threaten him.
Qiao Sheng said with a smile: "Yes, he is a guide. He can help you familiarize yourself with the environment of Fire Crow Town. I can help you with what you need to pay attention to and what you can ignore, as well as the rules of Fire Crow Town, etc."
Chen Xi asked: "How to charge?"
Qiao Sheng stretched out three fingers: "Thirty thousand Ningying Pills."
Chen Xi nodded and said: "Okay, deal."
This Fire Crow Town was full of weirdness. He felt that it was still necessary to find a guide to quickly familiarize himself with the environment. As for the shocking price, he didn't pay attention to it.
"Come on, for a generous guest like you, as long as there are no accidents, Fire Crow Town can survive." Qiao Sheng said with a smile and began to lead the way.
Chen Xi looked at the surrounding environment while silently following Qiao Sheng, and soon entered Fire Crow Town.
Strictly speaking, Fire Crow Town is actually more like a village, with muddy streets, dilapidated houses, and an atmosphere of desolation and barrenness everywhere.
Under the cover of night, only a few lights were sparsely lit in Huoya Town. The cold wind blew and the lights swayed. From a distance, they looked like fluttering will-o'-the-wisps, with a sinister air.
While walking, Chen Xi suddenly stopped and turned to look to the right.
A dozen feet away from the main road stood a dozen bare wooden pillars. On each pillar, there was a corpse hanging, a fresh, naked corpse of a girl. These naked corpses had a very thin rope strangled deeply into their throats, their arms were tied behind their backs, and only two legs were floating in the air. Both eyes of the naked corpse were wide open and glowing with a deathly luster.
A gust of cold wind shook the corpses like lifeless scarecrows.
In front of a column at the end, there stood a middle-aged man, dressed in brocade and mink fur, wearing a round hat, with a gentle and approachable expression, just like a common good man in the secular world, stroking his chin and looking at the freshly hung clothes. The female body that went up.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. A strong murderous aura surged through the middle-aged man's body, and even vaguely formed a dark halo around his body. This was the "guilt" that could only be formed by killing countless people and having countless wronged souls in his hands. Qi.
"That person is Straw Zhang, one of the five evil people in Fire Crow Town." Qiao Sheng quickly explained from the side: "This person's biggest hobby is to collect female corpses, and then use secret methods to make them into dolls. Every time he collects a hundred corpses, he will Lit with phosphorus fire in the middle of the night, it looks like bright lanterns flying into the sky from a distance, which is very spectacular.”
Chen Xi said calmly: "Straw Zhang?"
Qiao Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, in Fire Crow Town, almost most people have a nickname, but few people use their real names."
Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions, his eyes lingered on the female corpses fluttering in the cold wind for a moment, and then he continued to move forward.
Wow!
Not long after, the sound of rushing water came in the wind, accompanied by strong and tangy blood.
Chen Xi raised his eyes and saw a shirtless bald man sitting on the side of the road. In front of him was a huge wooden basin, which contained a thick layer of Yin Hong's blood, and a snow-white smooth human body. The skull was sinking in blood.
"This is "Human Head Li". Like Daicao Zhang, he is one of the five evil men in Fire Crow Town. He likes to refine human skulls into thumb-sized bone beads and wear them on his body."
Qiao Sheng pointed to the neck of Human Head Li and said, "Look, he is wearing a string of white bone necklaces around his neck. There are a total of 108 pieces. Each one is made of human skulls. They are very beautiful, aren't they? "
Chen Xi looked intently, and sure enough he saw such a necklace. The bone beads were like human skulls shrunk countless times, with empty eye holes and sharp teeth, all of which seemed to be grinning ferociously.
Similarly, there is also a dark halo of "guilt" surrounding this figure Li.
Qiao Sheng greeted Ren Touzhang and took Chen Xi forward.
On the way, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask: "Who are Straw Zhang, Rentou Li, and the other three villains?"
Qiao Sheng smiled and said: "I know you will definitely ask. In addition to the two of them, there is also Red Orchid. This is a woman who is obsessed with planting Red Orchid. However, the Red Orchid she grows needs living people as fertilizer. That is, The whole living person was buried in the ground, a bloody hole was dug on top of his head, and the red orchid was planted in it.
In addition to Chi Luolan, there is also Wu Fuzi. This old man's hobbies are quite normal, but he likes to fall asleep listening to cries, so he dug a big pit in his bedroom, and kept a group of living people in the pit. Whenever he slept, He poured some sinister spiritual fire into the pit, burning these people until they cried miserably, and then fell asleep peacefully.
The last one is Qi Yin, who has a cold and indifferent temperament and rarely appears in Fire Crow Town. He spends most of his time in the Netherfrost Forest, enjoying killing some ferocious monsters. "
Chen Xi nodded and said: "Haicao Zhang, Rentou Li, Chi Luolan, Wu Fuzi, and Qi Yin. Among these five evil people, I think Qi Yin is pretty normal."
Qiao Sheng said with a smile: "When you stay here for a long time, you will become accustomed to everything."
Chen Xi frowned and said, "Isn't there anyone in charge?"
Qiao Sheng was startled, then shook his head and said, "I can't care less. This is a place of sin. Who doesn't have a life on their hands when they come here? If they are not desperate, no one would want to suffer here."
Speaking of this, Qiao Sheng seemed to realize something, and reminded with a stern look: "Guest, I have to remind you, don't meddle in your own business here. Don't look at the straw Zhang. They killed many people, but they were just some who escaped." The guilty people in Fire Crow Town will not regret dying. If you meddle in other people's business, I'm afraid you will end up like those dead people."
Chen Xi was silent. He thought of the "monster" people called him when he was on the Scarlet Scale Treasure Car. Aren't these villains in Fire Crow Town the same as monsters
This is indeed a place of sinful exile.
Along the way, Chen Xi asked Qiao Sheng some more questions and got a general understanding of the internal situation of Fire Crow Town.
There are now nearly a thousand people living in Huoya Town, including bandits, thugs, and bandits... The only thing in common is that these people are wanted by the entire Chu Dynasty and have no other choice, so they choose to live here. .
The reason why the Chu Dynasty did not kill them all was very simple. Fire Crow Town is backed by the Netherfrost Forest. The forest is full of monsters and murderous creatures. Although it is dangerous, it contains various spiritual materials and spiritual minerals. If the villains in Fire Crow Town want to survive, they must pay enough various materials every month, otherwise they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Chu Soul Guards of the Great Chu Dynasty.
In other words, Fire Crow Town is similar to a prison, and these evil people serve as coolies in the prison.
As for escaping from here, that is simply impossible. Qiao Sheng did not give any specific details, but he swore that every villain who escaped from Fire Crow Town would be captured in less than three days. However, when they were captured, they were Already a corpse.
Of course, Chen Xi also asked some things about Qiao Sheng. What he didn't expect was that this guy turned out to be a member of the Chu Soul Guard of the Great Chu Dynasty.
eccentric!
This place was indeed too weird. Until now, Chen Xi had not calmed down the situation in front of him.
But soon, he put aside this worry. He did not intend to stay in Fire Crow Town forever. Instead, he passed through Fire Crow Town, entered the Netherfrost Forest, and headed towards Leicheng City until he arrived at Splendid City.
Not long after, an empty field appeared in front of them. There were ruins everywhere, except for a simple tavern standing alone.
The tavern is not only simple, but also very dilapidated. The walls are covered with mottled black dust, and half of the roof has cracked many gaps. It looks like it may collapse at any time.
There is a crooked wooden sign hanging at the door of the tavern, with a dull fire crow painted on it, and four words: Fire Crow Tavern.
The night was dark, and bursts of thunderous laughter could be heard from time to time in the tavern. In this gloomy town, it seemed lively and more popular.
