Spiritual energy, which comes from the spiritual, is as important to the electric oven as electricity is to the spiritual.
But at this moment, there is not a trace of spiritual energy to be felt on these four bridges.
The only trace of spiritual energy fluctuation was found in the fish-shaped stones that had just been removed from their feet.
At first, Xu An thought he was mistaken.
But upon closer inspection, it was indeed true...
They've disappeared!
There was no spiritual energy on the entire Four Bridges.
"Depend on!"
"Damn it, someone has set up a magic array at the Fourth Bridge!"
Blackfish's expression changed drastically, and he swore.
Upon hearing this, Xu An's expression changed.
Magic arrays are indeed quite magical.
It's not amazing, but it's just like that.
He didn't know what magic arrays looked like in the era of cultivation, but in this era of awakening talent...
There is no such thing as having a talent for magic arrays.
In theory, any spiritual being can set up a magic array.
Setting up a magic array is like building a wall here to block strong winds or other things.
It's like setting up a tent to block the rain from the sky.
However, the main materials of the magic array are just spiritual energy or things that contain spiritual energy.
For example, the training ground that Lingwu Academy set up in the suburbs was surrounded by magic arrays, which demarcated a specific area.
Of course, there are professionals in architecture, and there are also professionals in magic arrays.
In the past, some Taoists, or people from other sects, became very adept at setting up magic arrays after the revival of spiritual energy.
"It seems the danger of the Fourth Bridge lies not in the Fourth Bridge itself, but outside of it!"
Xu An looked solemnly toward the bridgehead.
Without spiritual energy, they are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
At the bridgehead, several high-intensity flashlights shone brightly, illuminating the entire bridge.
At the same time, two groups of people appeared at both ends of the four bridges, blocking everyone in the middle.
"Hey, village chief, it's so late..."
"They even brought people over to deliver late-night snacks to us."
Xu An covered his eyes, recognized the person who had come, and sneered.
At the bridgehead, Murakami had a cigarette dangling from his lips, the flame flickering on and off.
The villagers behind him no longer carried only farm tools such as kitchen knives and shovels, as they did during the day.
Instead...
gun!
One for everyone!
The Great Xia Dynasty originally prohibited guns, but after the Great Cataclysm, in order to give the people some means of self-defense when facing monsters.
Therefore, the decision was made to lift the ban.
The village chief glanced coldly at the crowd, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, I warned you during the day that there was nothing unusual about the Fourth Bridge."
“You wouldn’t listen, you insisted on coming.”
"So what if you're here? Take a look around, nothing unusual, and you can go back and report."
"If you're really looking for death, wait until tonight."
"Now that you've found these fish, then..."
"Leave them all!"
“Perfect timing. We haven’t held a bridge-building ceremony for several days, and the spirit fish in the river haven’t had anything good to eat for many days either.”
The villagers behind them also loaded their guns at that moment.
"Hehe, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents."
"Fellow night watchmen, I apologize!"
One of the villagers sneered.
Upon hearing this, Xu An understood.
The people of Sidaoqiao Village probably discovered the existence of these strange fish a long time ago.
For these villagers, these strange fish were a windfall of wealth.
You can easily catch a few fish, extract their spiritual essence, and sell them for a fortune.
but!
If this place is reported by the night patrol, without a doubt, the Spirit Alliance and headquarters will take control of it.
The Spirit Source has always circulated on the black market.
However, it falls under the scope of official control, but generally, the authorities turn a blind eye to small amounts of spiritual energy.
Furthermore!
According to the village chief, every so often, living people are needed to perform sacrifices to these four bridges and the things in the river.
"So, the people who disappeared here earlier, and the previous night watchmen, were all actually killed by you, right?"
Xu An looked at the other person seriously and questioned him in a deep voice.
"Do you know that attacking a night watchman... is a capital offense!"
Xu An drew the black sword from his back and looked coldly at his opponent.
"Hehe, don't try to scare us with that."
"Since we've taken this step, we're not afraid of dying."
"Don't think we don't know. Attacking the night watchmen is a capital offense, but what if the night watchmen dare to lay a hand on us ordinary people?"
"Ha, that's a capital offense!"
The village chief threw down his cigarette butt, spat viciously on the ground, and grinned menacingly.
"Heh, it seems there's a mastermind behind this."
Blackfish sneered and exchanged a glance with Xu An.
"Bring out the person in charge of this behind the scenes to see me!"
Xu An looked at the other party coldly and said in a deep voice.
The group of people in front of me are just ordinary people. They have no talent whatsoever, and there is no fluctuation of spiritual energy on their bodies.
Clearly, the purpose of these four bridges was to trap them; there was someone else behind it all.
The village chief's sneer deepened.
"The powerful figure behind us is not worthy of your presence!"
"Men, young and old, let's get started!"
The village chief shouted.
Bang! ...
In the darkness, someone fired a shot.
Someone fired the first shot, and the others followed suit.
Xu An and his group were caught in a pincer movement on the four bridges, with nowhere to hide.
"Damn it, I actually lost to an ordinary person today!"
