Chapter 264 There May Be a Tide of Beasts at Night

Zhu Yun originally thought that there were four array eyes on the four-sided city wall for releasing spirit stones.

This was used as the source of spiritual power to maintain the city defense array.

But what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding of the array!

Even if it was a secondary array eye, was it arranged so casually?

"Daoyou Zhou, what are you looking at? Go drink!"

Behind him, Li Mo pulled Zhu Yun, and the waiter turned around and saw Zhu Yun's expression, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "This Daoyou, this should be the first time to come to our Chiyan City, right?"

Zhu Yun nodded, and the waiter returned to the counter while smiling: "Our Chiyan City is different from other places. As long as you open a store here to do business, you need to feed spirit stones to this stone sculpture to protect the safety of the storefront."

Zhu Yun was surprised again. Every store has it?

He took a breath of cold air. This hand was far beyond his imagination. The person who set up the array in Chiyan City was too terrifying!

"Since this is your first time here, why don't you try the specialties of Chiyan City?"

The waiter may have seen a lot, and didn't know that Zhu Yun was surprised because of something deeper, so he started to promote it without taking it seriously.

"Yes!"

Li Mo quickly responded and pulled Zhu Yun to sit at a table.

"Daoyou Zhou, can you stop looking like a country boy? How embarrassing!"

Hearing this slightly complaining tone, Zhu Yun felt helpless, as if you have more experience than me...

But he would not dwell on this matter, and there was no need to explain to Li Mo.

In fact, if he did this, Li Mo would believe him more.

"Haven't you seen it before?"

Zhu Yun scratched his head deliberately and said.

"When you go out, talk less, eat more vegetables, and stand up if you can't reach it."

When the waiter served a few cold dishes, Li Mo said with a look of disgust.

Zhu Yun was amused by this pretentious look.

But he still had to agree with him.

After satisfying his appetite, Li Mo took the initiative to pay the spirit stone, and the waiter, like before, put half of it into the mouth of the stone monster.

While waiting for the waiter to come back and lead the way, Li Mo also reminded Zhu Yun not to take it too seriously, so as not to be laughed at.

Room No. 3 of Xuanzi is on the third floor. After the waiter took the two to the door, he left.

Zhu Yun said to Li Mo: "Daoyou Li, can I have the array key?"

"Take it!"

Li Mo thought Zhu Yun was quite sensible. Yes, this kind of trivial matter of opening the door must be done by him!

He threw the array key to Zhu Yun casually, and the two entered the room together.

At the moment of entering the door, Zhu Yun quickly felt a flash of array pattern on the array key in his hand, and before he could feel it carefully, the array pattern had disappeared.

It came quickly and went quickly.

After the two entered the room, there was another array pattern on the array key. This time, Zhu Yun found that the spiritual power at the door had a slight fluctuation.

It was like an invisible formation that separated the room.

"Finally I can lie down for a while. It's a thousand miles, so far!"

Li Mo threw himself on the bed as if no one was around. Zhu Yun found a chair and sat down, put the formation key on the table, probed into his spiritual sense carefully, and planned to investigate it carefully.

After a moment, he suddenly realized.

What formation key? Isn't this just a simple formation plate?

It is only used to enter and exit the formation, which is extremely simple.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, why are you looking at that thing? Didn't I tell you not to look like you have never seen the world? It would be bad if someone saw you?"

Li Mo sat up from the bed and saw Zhu Yun in a daze again, and said unhappily.

If it's all like this, then there's nothing good to visit in Chiyan City.

It's impossible to be in a daze when you see a new object. What a waste of time?

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "Daoyou Li, you take a break first. I think this is quite interesting!"

"What's so interesting about a broken key? There are many more interesting things in Chiyan City! I'll take you to see it when it's dawn! Now, I want to practice!"

Li Mo sat up cross-legged, and after saying that, he entered the state of practice, which made Zhu Yun stunned.

After thinking about it, he decided to go out and see for himself. When the two of them went together tomorrow, he couldn't stand Li Mo following him and saying that he had never seen the world.

"Daoyou Li, you should practice well, and I won't bother you here."

Zhu Yun said, and then he took the array key and walked out.

When he went out, the array key did not flash, but walked out very easily.

Zhu Yun didn't find this strange.

Maybe this array only limits entry but not exit.

Walking all the way outside, although it was dark, the streets were still extremely prosperous.

Zhu Yun walked and looked, and suddenly found that there were no stalls here!

Logically speaking, such a large city should have a constant flow of pedestrians even at night.

"It seems that this Chiyan City is either strictly managed and no one dares to set up a stall. Or it is extremely chaotic and there is no guarantee for setting up a stall!"

Zhu Yun remembered what the waiter said, that every shop has a stone-carved monster, so he guessed so.

After walking for a while, Zhu Yun suddenly saw a shop selling talismans. He immediately thought that he had run out of materials for drawing intermediate talismans, so he went to buy some.

Take a look at whether there are really stone-carved monsters in this shop.

As soon as he entered the door, a waiter came to greet him.

Zhu Yun asked for intermediate talisman paper, cinnabar and other things. After paying the waiter with spirit stones, Zhu Yun saw that the waiter also divided half of the spirit stones and threw them into the mouth of a stone-carved monster in the dark.

After the waiter had prepared everything, Zhu Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Er, can't I give you less of these spiritual stones?"

"No way!"

The waiter handed the things over, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Isn't it that fellow Taoist thought that this was for paying taxes?"

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Yun followed his words.

"There is no tax in Chiyan City, but it is enough to say that these spiritual stones are protection fees!"

Seeing that the store was not too busy, the waiter said a few more words: "These spiritual stones will eventually be used in our store. Each of our stores has formation protection, and it is the spiritual stones that provide spiritual energy." Otherwise, if the beast wave comes, our store will not be able to survive!"

"Tide of beasts?"

Zhu Yun was surprised. In such a big city, is it still afraid of the beast tide?

Is that large array outside vegetarian?

"Yes, when the beast tide comes, we all have to lock the door tightly! If the business is poor, and if there are few spiritual stones, the formation will not be strong enough, and it will be easily destroyed by the beast tide!"

"When the time comes, when you encounter someone who is weak, you won't even have time to run, and you will have to die in the mouth of a monster!"

"So, stores with poor business cannot survive in Chiyan City! Because they are really risking their lives to earn spiritual stones!"

"But the beast tide comes at night, so there will be stalls on the street during the day, but not at night. No one dares."

As he said this, the waiter himself laughed.

At this time, another guest happened to come in. The waiter quickly threw Zhu Yun aside and greeted him.

Zhu Yun was thinking on the spot.

Chiyan City neither collects taxes nor cares about the beast tide, passing all risks to the shops.

Then they only rely on the entrance fee of ten spiritual stones per person as their income?

Of these ten dollars, half must be invested in the stone sculpture monsters to maintain the city defense formation!

And from Xiao Er's words, we can know that this formation does not care about the beast tide and allows them to rush in!

Back then, in the waters near Wangxian Sect, Zhu Yun and Sun Qiniang had killed each other until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and they knew very well that the number of ants would kill an elephant.

If Sun Qiniang hadn't saved his life, he would have died long ago.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yun decided to go back to the inn for the time being.

If he is unlucky and encounters a tide of beasts, no one will help him!

The waiter was preparing things for the new guests. Zhu Yun didn't say hello and walked straight outside.

But not long after walking, a sharp whistle came from outside the city.

Suddenly, the street became extremely chaotic!

The monks, who were still chatting and laughing in a leisurely and elegant manner, ran in all directions.

Some people went directly to the store.

It's a pity that the store's response was faster than theirs, which directly shut down these monks!

"Is this...a tide of beasts coming?"

Zhu Yun was shocked and quickly ran towards Tang's Inn.

After running for more than ten steps, he saw formation patterns flashing around the entire Scarlet Flame City!

But just a moment later, all the formation patterns disappeared!

From all directions, there were loud roars of beasts, and at the same time, the ground of Chiyan City began to shake, as if the ground was collapsing!

Zhu Yun felt chills all over his body. He couldn't understand the formation, but why did he remove the formation without understanding it?

"You really can't stop the beast tide!"
