Chapter 007 Dachang City, the First Signs of Abnormality!
Chapter 007 Dachang City, the First Signs of Abnormality!
Luo Xi stared blankly at the car she had driven into the puddle beside her.
Because I didn't know how to drive, I crashed the car on my first try.
Fortunately, being a witch—cough, being a Qi Refining stage cultivator—her reactions were faster than ordinary people; otherwise, she would have been dragged into the puddle.
All I had left was my phone, which I found on the driver.
But without the password, the phone couldn't be unlocked, and since I didn't know many people, I couldn't contact anyone.
He had no food supplies on him...
Could it be that, having just embarked on the path of cultivation, I'm about to begin wandering the world and surviving in the wilderness in Dachang City?
Holding the phone with two fingers, Luo Xi saw that she could try entering the unlock password again, so she tapped the phone a few more times.
The phone was still locked, but the emergency number was accidentally accessed.
After dialing the emergency number, Luo Xi was a little unsure how to begin.
I seem to have become even more socially anxious after embarking on the path of cultivation.
If she were to enter seclusion in the future when her cultivation level is high, and this seclusion lasts for several years, decades, or even hundreds of years, wouldn't she become mute when she comes out?
I vaguely remember learning about the principle of use and disuse in biology...
We need to strengthen our mental cultivation.
"Hello, what difficulties are you encountering?" The operator's voice interrupted Luo Xi's thoughts.
"I am Luo Xi, Luo as in camel, Xi as in dawn, I... am lost." Luo Xi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Is this Luo Xi? Please don't be afraid," the operator said calmly. "Please tell me what landmarks are around you."
"There were no signs on the road, and the surrounding area was full of unfinished buildings. There were no landmark buildings around either," Luo Xi described the surrounding environment.
"Find a safe place, then don't move around, rest well, don't be afraid, we have located your position, and rescue will be here soon."
"Okay," Luo Xi replied calmly.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Luo Xi held it up with two fingers.
Long nails make it inconvenient to use a mobile phone, which is annoying.
My body is completely unaccustomed to using it, and I feel irritable.
Fragrant hair occasionally brushed against her cheeks, causing her to feel irritated.
Long skirts make movement very inconvenient and frustrating.
Loafers are uncomfortable to walk in, and they're annoying.
All she wanted was to cultivate immortality! All she wanted was to quickly reach the second level of the Qi Refining stage! But she had no opportunity.
But when it comes to taking action, I feel a bit restless.
I recall her saying before she killed the driver that there were two victims before her.
Recalling the direction the driver pointed, Luo Xi gazed into the distance, a thought struck her, and she lifted her foot.
……
Walking along the main road, Luo Xi arrived at a place surrounded by rusty iron sheets.
The sheet metal had been torn open, just enough for one person to pass through.
Inside is the unfinished building, which is also where the driver said the victim was located.
Luo Xi recreated the scene in her mind: the man stopped the car, looked around warily to make sure no one was there, then roughly dragged the murdered girl's body out of the car, found a suitable spot, and carelessly dumped the girl's body on the ruins.
Luo Xi stopped step by step when she found a spot where the land had been turned over.
The man then went back, found a shovel or something in the trunk, returned to the girl's body, and began digging.
Luo Xi walked around the disturbed soil. Judging by its size, it should be just the right size to bury a body like her if they were to dispose of it.
Is the girl's body buried under here?
Lacking the necessary tools, Luo Xi abandoned her plan to turn over the soil, even though she had originally intended to verify whether there was a corpse present.
Start searching for the second victim!
Luo Xi started walking around again.
Then, Luo Xi made a new discovery.
Not far away, there was another pit, not deep, only about half a meter deep. Luo Xi easily jumped down and then jumped back up.
So, what about the other victim?
She refused to believe she couldn't find it!
Expanding the search area, Luo Xi searched carefully but found nothing.
That's strange. She just couldn't believe that a dead person could dig themselves out of the ground and crawl away!
Returning to the first spot where the soil had been turned over, Luo Xi squatted down, stretched her head and slowly approached, guiding her magic power to seep into the soil.
At a distance of about 20 centimeters, Luo Xi began to feel something was off.
Sure enough, there was something buried down there!
It must be a corpse.
Just as she was about to stand up, Luo Xi noticed that her vision was somewhat dim.
Looking up, Luo Xi saw a girl covered in mud. Her body had the bluish-white color of a corpse. She was tilting her head and contorting her face, standing only half a meter away from Luo Xi!
Lifeless, rotting eyes were also staring at her, and the stench filled her nostrils.
!!!
Luo Xi was so shocked that she threw a punch!
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
The corpses were blasted into pieces by Luo Xi; that was the effect of magic.
Luo Xi jumped away quickly!
Evil repair!
There are hereine practitioners of evil cultivation here!
After calming herself down, Luo Xi spoke in a deep voice: "Despicable! You dared to launch a sneak attack when I was off guard?"
"Let's fight!"
Several minutes passed without any movement.
"Why hide your head and tail, fellow Daoist?" With the idea that he would not move unless the enemy moved, Luo Xi naturally did not make the first move.
A gentle breeze brushed against her cheek, and at that moment, Luo Xi noticed that the first spot where the soil had been turned over was beginning to swell up!
Out!
It was also the corpse of a young girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old when she died. Luo Xi did not hesitate. She simply raised her hand, and the corpse fell down inch by inch, as if it had been cut by the sharpest thing in the world.
It seems I've become more familiar with manipulating magic.
Luo Xi understood; indeed, only through battle could one improve!
Only through battle can you become stronger!
Well then, let's go!
Let's fight!
Luo Xi stands alone in the wind, silently accepting all challenges.
Then he stumbled.
The earth began to shake.
Luo Xi's expression changed, and she took a few steps back.
The area, roughly a few square meters in size, was churning, as if some enormous creature, sleeping underground, had been awakened by Luo Xi's arrival.
Luo Xi retreated while observing the battle environment.
At the same time, a familiar feeling washed over me.
It was a power similar to that of a witch, but far more frenzied!
An unusual power?
Luo Xi had a guess in her mind.
The dust that had been stirred up eventually settled, and looking at the irregular monster, which was more than three meters tall and made of construction debris such as mud, gravel, and broken bricks, Luo Xi made her move immediately.
"Cut!" Luo Xi stretched out her hand and released her magic.
Construction debris monster!
Luo Xi addressed it in this way, and the demon beast immediately collapsed, then rolled towards Luo Xi in a strange manner.
The monster has no legs, or rather, all parts of its body can be considered legs. No matter which part you attack, magic can only slow down the monster's movement.
Luo Xi remained expressionless and retreated rapidly.
The speed of the monster is about the same as that of an ordinary person jogging; even if an ordinary person came, they could easily escape.
Luo Xi activated her magic again, the cutting magic covering the monster, but it only slightly hindered it.
Luo Xi could confirm that the magic was working, but... it still didn't seem to be able to stop the monster!
Moreover, the speed of the monsters is getting faster and faster.
The magic activated again, and Luo Xi sensed her condition with a heavy heart. Her magic power was only one-fifth left!
Thinking of a solution, Luo Xi glanced at the unfinished building in the distance, sneered, and ran directly in that direction.
