Chapter 495: God of Plague

"The more dangerous the place, the more likely there will be big gains!"

"Evil Ghost Ridge is too dangerous, and there are few people who come, so it is possible to find good things."

"Maybe I can pick up an energy fruit today."

"If I can pick up a mutated fruit, I will be prosperous, haha!"

A middle school student in school uniform came out of the low-lying woods. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was thin and hadn't started growing, at most about 1.5 meters.

Accompanied by this skinny middle school student was a fat man over 1.7 meters tall, wearing the same school uniform, obviously a student of a school.

The little fat man said contemptuously: "Energy fruit? Mutated fruit? Guo Siyu, do you really dare to think that even if you have it, it will be picked by others, and you will wait for you? Humph! Humph! I am more content than you, and I can pick a mutant fruit." Grass is enough for me."

The skinny middle school student Guo Siyu curled his lips disapprovingly, and said to himself: "Cut! You have no ambition! You are just a mutated grass. I am lucky, and I will definitely be able to pick mutated fruits."

"How lucky are you? I think you may not even be able to pick a blade of grass!"

The little fat man Chen Chong rolled his eyes, looked up at the sun, and found that it was already past noon, and he was in a hurry, "Stop talking nonsense, and walk in before it is dark, you must go out before dark, otherwise you will encounter If you get to the evil spirits, you may not be able to get out."

"Quick! Let's go quickly!"

Guo Siyu heard the words and began to trot up a desolate hill.

"Asshole, bully me for being fat!"

Chen Chong was panting like a cow and sweating like rain.

Guo Siyu didn't speak, just walked forward.

He obviously didn't observe the terrain carefully.

This desolate hill is actually a tomb. After the world mutated, it became bigger. Yin energy was released from the tomb continuously. The environment was at least half dark, and even the temperature dropped several degrees.

The two middle school students shivered at the same time, but neither of them paid attention.

"Chen Chong, why do you think this world has suddenly mutated? There are supernatural powers, martial arts, magic, and immortal cultivators? What do you think is the reason? Who did it? Is it a fairy? Hongjun Patriarch? Tathagata Buddha? Or the Jade Emperor?"

Guo Siyu, who trotted up to the grave, asked while running.

"Sudden?"

The little fat man Chen Chong shook his head, "It shows that you are ignorant, right? My cousin's cousin's classmate said that the world has mutated a long time ago, but the previous mutation was very small, and most people don't know it. Only recently It’s a worldwide mutation that everyone knows about.”

Guo Siyu was stunned, and wondered: "It mutated a long time ago? Could it be that those myths about Conferred God, Journey to the West, and Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea are true?"

"You will guess wildly, Fengshen and Journey to the West are not true."

The little fat man Chen Chong shook his head, looking like he was a good teacher, and he was very energetic, "According to my cousin's cousin's classmates, Journey to the West, the conferred gods are not true, the stories of the Yellow Emperor, Chi You, and Hou Yi shooting the sun may be true of."

Guo Siyu wasn't angry at all because of being refuted, but instead showed deep longing, "Huang Di, Chi You, Hou Yi? If it's true, will reading more of these books help us get the mutation fruit? Ah~ "

In the middle of speaking, he was startled suddenly, his eyes straightened, and he stared at the top of the hill in front of him, which was actually the top of the grave.

On the top of the grave a small white flower is rapidly opening its bud.

"How did this flower bloom so fast?"

Guo Siyu and Chen Chong were stunned at the same time, breathing heavily, you looked at me, I looked at you, their faces were flushed and their hearts were beating violently.

Both of them felt that they were going to have an adventure.

This small white flower must be a mutant plant.

The small flower bloomed extremely fast, and it was fully bloomed in the blink of an eye. After fully blooming, the white flower quickly withered, and a small round black fruit gradually took shape.

After the black fruit took shape, it grew rapidly again.

In about a few seconds, it grew into a black crystal fruit about the size of a walnut.

"Mutated fruit, haha! It's a mutated fruit!"

Guo Siyu shouted.

Chen Chong's breathing was rough and heavy, his eyes were fixed on the black fruit, and he was not in the mood to speak at all.

At the same time, the two reached out to grab the crystal fruit the size of a black longan.

The crystal fruit was like a black hole, emitting black light, and a suction force came from inside the fruit, directly sucking away the heat from the two of them.

"It's so cold!"

"It's so cold!"

The two middle school students shivered at the same time, and turned into ice sculptures in an instant.

The suction in the black fruit suddenly increased, and even formed a vortex, aiming at the ice sculptures that the two middle school students turned into.

Snapped!

The ice sculpture shattered, and the pieces were instantly sucked away by the black fruit.

The black fruit that absorbed two middle school students suddenly fell to the ground, was sucked into the soil by a suction force, and entered the huge tomb.

If it weren't for the footprints left on the ground, no one would know that two middle school students once came here.

"Boss, bring another roast chicken, pack it for me and take it away!"

Xiao Mu, who hadn't eaten for a long time, went to Daliang City to have a meal before entering the ancient ruins, and ordered the most famous Pan's roast chicken in the area.

With a thousand years of traditional craftsmanship, the grilled chicken melts in the mouth, it is extremely tender, and after eating it, it feels full of fragrance and endless aftertaste, which made Xiao Mu almost swallow his tongue.

"I'll give you a discount of five yuan, a total of sixty-five yuan. Welcome to come again next time!"

The boss of Pan's family is a middle-aged man in his forties, with greasy clothes, and looks quite honest. After a minute, he put a roast chicken in a mulberry paper bag in front of Xiao Mu.

"Can you scan the code?"

Xiao Mu took out his mobile phone.

"Any kind of payment method is fine, as long as it's convenient for you, it doesn't matter if you don't have any money."

Boss Pan smiled and put a picture of a QR code in front of Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu turned on the phone to scan the code.

"Lao Pan, here's a roast chicken!"

A tall man in a sheriff's suit walks in with a sleepy look on his face.

"Officer Xu, why are you listless?"

Boss Pan asked with a very talkative smile.

The tall man, Officer Xu, sighed, and said regretfully, "Yesterday, two more middle school students disappeared. Lao Pan, take care of your son, and don't let him run around, especially not to the Evil Ghost Ridge."

Xiao Mu's heart moved when he heard the words, and he sighed.

After the world has mutated, even the world of ordinary people is not peaceful.

As for Evil Ghost Ridge...

Where is Evil Ghost Ridge?

Hearing the name, it doesn't feel like a good idea. Is it a gathering place for evil spirits?

After stepping into the fifth realm, Xiao Mu no longer takes ordinary evil spirits seriously.

Even the ghost king of the fifth realm, he didn't particularly care.

Boss Pan first replied, "My son never runs around."

Then he asked curiously: "Officer Xu, you said that two middle school students are missing? Did they enter the Evil Ghost Ridge? Did they encounter something evil?"

Officer Xu sighed and said: "It's just two little brats who are said to go into the mountains when they have nothing to do, hoping to get the mutated fruit and make the mutated hero a hero. Sigh! To commit crimes, I guess they really encountered something evil and can't come back!"

"How much?"

Boss Pan quickly said politely, "No more."

Officer Xu: "It's not easy for you to do business, how can you not give it? You don't need to look for it."

He said and put thirty yuan on the counter.

"It's thirty-five. Forget it. I'm a regular customer. Thirty is thirty."

Boss Pan put away the thirty yuan.

"Ha ha!"

Officer Xu smiled, "I know that you, Old Pan, are very particular. In fact, I only have 30 yuan on me, and I will give you the remaining five yuan next time."

"No."

Boss Pan smiled honestly.

Xiao Mu had been paying attention to what the two of them were saying, and couldn't help asking at this moment, "What's going on with the Evil Ghost Ridge?"

Boss Pan and Officer Xu turned their heads to look at Xiao Mu at the same time.

Officer Xu listened to Xiao Mu's accent, "Are you from another place? Evil Ghost Ridge is to the west, but you must not go there. There are unclean things there, and you can't come back after you go there."

"Unclean stuff? Do you know what it is?"

Xiao Mu didn't care about any unclean things at all, and he didn't even mind helping the residents of Daliang City to remove the unclean things.

Unless it is a low-level evil spirit, you can get some energy points more or less.

To the west, it is in the same direction as the ancient ruins.

Just on the way.

Xiao Mu became interested.

"It is said to be the God of Plague."

Officer Xu himself was not sure, and the answer to the question was very vague.

"God of plague?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help being taken aback.

He was not sure whether the information provided by Officer Xu was true or false.

It's better to say that it's fake, but most of the evil spirits will be evil ghosts.

But if it is really the God of Plague, then it is no ordinary horror.

After stepping into the fifth realm, Xiao Mu has a clearer understanding of this world, knowing that the so-called evil ghosts, even if they are at the first level of ghost king, are at most only the level of ghosts and evil spirits.

This kind of ghost at the level of yin spirit and evil spirit is still quite a distance from the yin god.

Even the most common yin gods and lands are at the real level, far surpassing the so-called ghost kings and zombie kings.

"Are you sure? It's a god of plague at the real level?"

Surprised, Xiao Mu asked curiously.

The yin god at the level of the real world has entered the human world. Could it be one of the few who came out of the space gate during the last mission of the real world?

"What do you mean by truth?"

This time it was Officer Xu's turn to be stunned. He couldn't understand Xiao Mu's words, so he spoke more politely.

The level of mutants is not clear to every ordinary person.

Except for some insiders who have access to high-level secrets, most ordinary people only know the existence of the fourth realm at best.

Such as curse ghosts, such as corpse generals.

Few people know about the ghost kings and corpse kings at a higher level, let alone the yin gods who are still above the ghost kings and corpse kings.

As soon as Xiao Mu heard it, he knew that he had asked for nothing.

"How much do you know about the God of Plague in Evil Ghost Ridge?"

"this……"

Officer Xu fell into hesitation.

His understanding of the plague god of Evil Ghost Ridge is actually limited to what he heard, and he is not particularly clear.

"It turns out that you don't know, forget it!"

Xiao Mu felt a little disappointed, so he didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the shop with the mulberry bag containing the roast chicken.

"etc!"

Officer Xu hurriedly chased after him, and asked very politely, "Excuse me, are you a mutant?"

"Do you think I look like me?"

Xiao Mu didn't answer, but asked back with a smile.

Officer Xu stared at Xiao Mu for a while, but he didn't see anything in the end. He reminded Xiao Mu worriedly, and said solemnly: "Whether it is or not, I advise you not to go to Evil Ghost Ridge. It is said that there are evil spirits there. It's very powerful, there were mutants from the fourth realm who went there, but they didn't come back."

The mutants in the fourth realm can't come back alive. So, the evil in Evil Ghost Ridge is at least the existence of the fifth realm?

Xiao Mu was thoughtful, and suddenly smiled and asked, "What about the mutants in the fifth realm?"

"Fifth Realm?"

Officer Xu was stunned.

Xiao Mu felt amused, and jokingly asked: "Can the mutants in the fifth realm come back alive?"

Officer Xu took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock. He looked at Xiao Mu with a look of admiration, "You...you are a mutant of the fifth realm?"

He looked excited, revealing a strong disbelief.

"Ha ha!"

Xiao Mu smiled, but didn't answer, and waved to stop a taxi, opened the door and got in.

"Sir, you...are you really a mutant of the fifth realm?"

Officer Xu recovered from his sluggishness, rushed to the front of the car in a few steps, and asked Xiao Mu through the car window.

Xiao Mu didn't answer directly, "If the God of Plague you're talking about doesn't exist at the level of the Realm, I'll get rid of it for you, drive to the train station!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Mu urged the taxi driver.

"Please sit still!"

The taxi driver's voice trembled slightly, as if excited by Xiao Mu's words.

The mutants of the fifth realm are really not something that just anyone can meet.

That is a more powerful existence beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Pretending to be inadvertently flipped the rearview mirror, trying to see Xiao Mu's appearance clearly.

"Are you looking at me?"

Xiao Mu looked up and saw the driver's eyes in the rearview mirror, and a few words made the driver shiver.

"Ah! Didn't... didn't look at you!"

The driver was at a loss, and hurriedly pulled down the rearview mirror, avoiding Xiao Mu with his eyes dodged.

"Look, it's all right."

The driver's embarrassment made Xiao Mu smile.

After entering the fifth realm, the distance between him and ordinary people is getting farther and farther, much like the gap between cultivators and ordinary people in novels.

After all, the driver didn't dare to pull up the rearview mirror to look at Xiao Mu. He drove cautiously, his body was stiff, and he was extremely nervous, fearing that he might make a mistake somewhere and make Xiao Mu unhappy.

Xiao Mu found something, and looked away from the driver's backup.

If I had known this, I would not have revealed my identity, and now I am uncomfortable even taking a taxi.

More than an hour later, the driver safely drove the taxi to the train station.

The distance was not far, but the driver was so nervous that he was covered in sweat and his clothes and hair were soaked.

"How much?"

Xiao Mu took out his mobile phone.

"No, no need to pay!"

The driver's voice trembled.

"Do you think I look like someone who doesn't pay for the car? How much?"

Xiao Mu held the phone and looked at the driver with a smile.

But even though he had a smile on his face, the questioning words still made the driver tremble in fright.

"No... no need to pay! Really no need to pay!"

The driver's voice trembled, but his tone was a little firm.

"Forget it, I'll give you two hundred yuan!"

Xiao Mu finally felt the inconvenience after revealing his identity, and scanned the QR code with his mobile phone.

"No, no, I mean, I mean, can I take a photo with you? The fare is free!"

The driver put his hand in front of the QR code and mustered up his courage, but his voice was still trembling, with a hint of prayer.

"Say it early!"

Xiao Mu put away the phone, but warned seriously: "It's okay to take a group photo, but you can't post my photo on the space, let alone post it on the Internet."

"ah!"

The driver was taken aback for a moment, with a look of intense disappointment on his face.

He asked for Xiao Mu's group photo just to show off to others, what's the point of this group photo if he can't post a space or something?

Seeing the driver's disappointed expression, Xiao Mu couldn't help but smiled again, and said kindly: "Just kidding, post it, but don't reveal my mutant identity."

"Ah! Thank you! Thank... thank you!"

The driver was overjoyed.

Filled with emotions, Xiao Mu walked into the station, bought a ticket, took the train to the west of the city, got off at the West City Railway Station, and then went into the wilderness alone, unfolded his movements, and headed towards the direction of the ancient ruins.
