Drought Demon

After spending the whole morning, Ye Jingxing sprinkled catnip seeds around the house where he lived, and planted some other fruits and vegetables in the yard.

Although Xiao San helped him out, he was still exhausted.

There was still a long way to go.

The task of afforestation is very arduous.

After completing the task in the morning, Ye Jingxing gathered the two cats together, and ordered: “Don’t eat catnip that hasn’t grown well, or you won’t have candied haws to eat.”

It takes time for his catnips to improve the soil. If it is eaten, the soil will turn white. He doesn’t want to waste all his efforts, so he must educate these two cats.

Xiao San nodded fiercely: “For the candied haws.”

Shen Qiyao: “Meow!” For the candied haws.

Ye Jingxing: “…”

Two greedy cats.

Ye Jingxing’s spiritual power recovered a bit. Between ripening the strawberries and contacting Xiao He, Ye Jingxing suppressed his yearning for strawberries deep in his heart and sent a message to Xiao He.

[When will we meet at Yaozu? I’ve settled down in the dead city, so I can come and play too. This is a one-time message] After the transmission, Ye Jingxing’s spiritual power was emptied, and he lay tiredly on the bamboo rocking chair he bought, smoothing the little black cat’s fur while waiting for the response.

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao snored comfortably on Ye Jingxing’s body.

【……】

【Is this a human or a ghost? 】

Ye Jingxing really wanted to reply to her, “It’s a person, it’s me”, but his spiritual power was empty so he couldn’t do anything.

Not long after.

[Why haven’t you left yet? ? Where did you live in the dead city? ? Are you missing arms and legs? ? 】【I really admire you】

[Come to Yaozu, something happened to Baicao Garden recently, I’m a bit busy, so I may not be able to entertain you for long】【Just come to Baicao Garden and report my name when you arrive】

【What’s missing, wait for your spiritual power to recover and come. I had prepared it for you in advance】【You’d better get out of here quickly】

Ye Jingxing couldn’t help sighing that this little flower demon is actually not bad, but herwords were a little off, and she was quite similar to Stupid Sanhua.

When Xiao San came back, what he saw was a person and a cat lying in the hall to enjoy the shade.

“Where did you go?” Ye Jingxing asked with narrowed eyes after being woken up by him.

“I’m looking for ‘evidence’.” Xiao San said.

“Evidence?” Ye Jingxing was puzzled.

Xiao San said: “Evidence on who stole the catnip last night.”

Shen Qiyao: “…”

Why is this stupid Sanhua like this? ? Do you really want to hold on to this matter? ?

Ye Jingxing didn’t know what to say, so he sat up and asked, “Then did you find it?”

In fact, he thought it was already eaten as food in the dead city.

Sanhua nodded: “I found some footprints, which seem to be of human beings, come with me to have a look.”

Shen Qiyao: “…” How could this be the case?

If I had known earlier, he would have destroyed the body and wiped out all traces.

Ye Jingxing was also idle, so they simply followed behind him.

Shen Qiyao, who was held in Ye Jingxing’s arms, felt very guilty.

Anyway… Anyway, he is a little black cat now, no matter how they guess, they can’t guess that it was him. The little black cat’s paw prints are plum blossom marks, not boot marks.

When they reached the place where Xiao San found the “evidence”, sure enough, there were several pairs of messy footprints, which seemed to belong to the same person.

The footprints should be those of an adult man, Ye Jingxing’s did not match, and neither did Xiao San’s.

“It’s a ghost.” Ye Jingxing frowned.

This footprint was bigger than Ye Jingxing’s, probably a man who was taller than him.

Whose is it?

“What does the cannibal look like here?” Ye Jingxing asked Xiao San.

Xiao San recalled for a while, the expression on his face was not very good, “They should have been human beings before they were alive, but now… their skin is gray and their eyes are red, which is very weird.”

“Zombie? Zombie? How do they walk?” Ye Jingxing’s first reaction was this.

“Their walking is very strange, very distorted, and the limbs are not coordinated, as if the hands and feet have been chopped off.”

“Skipping and walking?”

“No skipping…” Xiao San didn’t understand why Ye Jingxing asked such a question.

Ye Jingxing was thoughtful: “It should be similar to a zombie.”

“Zombie？”

“It means that after a person dies, the body is still ‘alive’ and continues to linger in the world.”

“It’s similar to the puppets of the Kui Lei sect, but the puppets of the Kui Lei sect are controlled by their unique secret method, not formed by natural corpse transformation, there are still some differences.”

Ye Jingxing has been in this world for so many years, and he also knows a lot about various sects in this world.

Xiao San stroked his chin: “I see.”

Shen Qiyao: “Meow.”

It seems that this human being knows quite a lot.

These “Ba 魃” are indeed the corpses of the people who died in that fierce battle, and they are also the direct factor that caused the soil of the dead city to become like this.

In fact, as long as this group of demons are killed, the dead city will return to its original appearance, but probably no one can kill them, except Shen Qiyao.

“Ba” is cannibalistic, and now the remaining ones are the strongest, nourished by Shen Qiyao’s spiritual power, if they leave this dead city, it is estimated that they can unconsciously destroy half of the comprehension continent.

“Then could these footprints belong to those things?” Ye Jingxing asked.

Xiao San thought for a while, “I don’t remember what their feet look like… Every time I see them, I hide away, and I don’t dare to look carefully.”

Ye Jingxing didn’t continue to make things difficult for him, it seemed that Xiao San was really afraid of those things.

But at least…that group of things eat catnips, not people, and if they like to eat his catnips, he doesn’t mind providing them all the time, as long as they don’t eat him.

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao gently wagged his tail.

Raise Ba for a thousand days, use Ba for a while, and let you recite the pot of stealing catnip once.

–

The next day, when Ye Jingxing got up in the morning and went out, he saw a… “Ba” at the door.

The child looked to be six or seven years old, and he was sitting at the gate outside his yard. His skin was dark gray, his eyes were red, but his facial features were very delicate. Something leaked out, which can be called “cute”.

And on its feet, it was wearing a pair of large black boots, the length reaching to the knees, and half of the unfinished catnip was left in its mouth.

Ye Jingxing: “…”

His mood is very complicated now.

This thing… Could it be the monster that eats people as Xiao San claimed?

It does look like a zombie, but isn’t this head too sloppy? ? Are zombies so young these days?

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao shook his tail.

He has done this several nights in the row. He’s the most capable one among the group to kill the “Ba.” If Ye Jingxing needs it, he can also help Ye Jingxing, at least he is better than that stupid Sanhua.

Of course, the main purpose is to carry the pot for him to eat.

Ye Jingxing yelled at it.

No response.

Ye Jingxing found a very long stick, and tentatively poked it lightly from a distance.

No response.

Shen Qiyao couldn’t bear to watch it any longer; he walked with vigorous strides and directly jumped on Ba’s body with a brisk stride, Ye Jingxing was so frightened that he rushed over to hug him, and then quickly moved away.

“Be careful, that ‘Ba’ might eat cats.” Ye Jingxing panted a little while running, and stuffed the kitten into his clothes, only showing his head, for fear that he would run away again.

“Mi.” Shen Qiyao gently waggled his little tail in Ye Jingxing’s lapel.

Humans are so cowardly.

But… Seeing that he was so scared and did not hesitate to “save” him, I won’t laugh at him this time.

But is there something wrong with this Ba…why is it motionless? Isn’t it fun to eat people?

It’s a bit weird.

When Xiao San came over, the cat demon’s fur exploded, and he quickly threw himself on Ye Jingxing’s body and couldn’t get off, “It, it, it, why is it here???”

“I, I, I don’t know.” Ye Jingxing imitated Xiao San’s words with a calm face, like a human-shaped wooden pile.

It has been half an hour since he discovered this thing, and for half an hour, this “child” didn’t move or respond.

“Is it the man-eating monster you’re talking about?” Ye Jingxing spent a lot of effort and finally pulled Sanhua’er off his body.

“Yeah! It’s scary, don’t you think?” Xiao San stepped back a few steps, with aura lingering all over his body, as if preparing to fight, “Get away from it!”

It was indeed scary.

Unmute

In front of Xiao San, Ye Jing walked up to the “child”, stuffed the thing that was protruding from his stomach, and smoothed his blood-stained clothes to cover the opening in his stomach .

It looks much more normal now.

It can be seen that the child was still very cute when he was alive. After so many years, except that the skin color has turned gray, the eyes have turned red, and there is a cut in the stomach, there is no other change.

The touch of the skin… except that it is a little colder, it is actually no different from that of ordinary human beings.

Xiao San was about to collapse: “What are you doing—??!!”

Ye Jingxing glanced at him lightly, and gestured “come here” to him.

Ye Jingxing was so bold about this thing because of Xuan Xuan.

He only left for a while to put the kitten on the rocking chair in the hall. When he came back, the kitten was gone, and it took him a long time to find him disco dancing on the thing.

He was so scared that he almost went into cardiac arrest.

But gradually, Ye Jingxing discovered that this thing really didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking, or…it didn’t even have any intention of moving, just like a zombie doll.

Xuan Xuan seemed to want to prove to him that this thing would not hurt them. Seeing him coming, Xuan Xuan meowed and rubbed against his leg.

That’s how the current situation came about.

Anyway, if this thing really wanted to eat people, ten of his Ye Jingxing would not be enough for it to eat. Instead of living in fear every day, it would be better to drop the broken jar, and do whatever they want.

After a stalemate for about a quarter of an hour, Xiao San finally threw away his armor and came over slowly, hiding behind Ye Jingxing and asked in a quiet voice, “Why isn’t it moving?”

Ye Jingxing said with a blank expression, “How would I know?”

Xiao San: “I, I, I…”

Ye Jingxing: “You?”

Xiao San: “I’m afraid, I won’t guard the gate for you tonight.”

Ye Jingxing: “…”
