As the giant figure of Taotie receded into the distance, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
Suddenly, Lu Ziming's expression changed: "Oh no, he must have gone back to Baishi Town to block the door first. We need to go back right away, or we'll be blocked outside the door if we're too late."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and without even a word, they vanished from the spot.
The Taotie was indeed not fast. Fang Xiu stood on the top of the Taotie, looking down at Lu Ziming and the others as they quickly overtook him and rushed into Baishi Town.
However, he didn't care, because he wasn't going to block the door, but to hunt down the strange creatures.
Once he summons an army of Taotie, not only will he be able to block the gate, but he'll surround the entire town of White Stone.
He did not choose to continue attacking the crowd, because it would be pointless.
Wen Jinglong is right. Although the Taotie cannot kill them, it also cannot kill these people because it is too slow.
If this were outside, these people could run away and hide all over the world, which would be really difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, this is a burial ground. Whether you are fourth-tier or fifth-tier, you will have to return to Whitestone Town sooner or later.
Therefore, as long as a massive army of Taotie is summoned and the entire White Stone Town is surrounded, these people will have no chance of escape. Blocking the gate? That's too simplistic. If you're going to block, block the entire town.
The mere presence of five Taotie beasts has already made everyone hesitant to act, and after today, the number of Taotie beasts will double.
A few days later, something even more unimaginable happened: an army of Taotie was born.
Most importantly, Fang Xiu already had a vague idea in his mind: to use the burial ground as his Taotie breeding base, and use the strangeness of the place to support his Taotie army!
Even if the speed of the invasion of the supernatural into the present world accelerates and a large number of supernatural beings suddenly impact the present society, he can still lead tens of thousands of Taotie armies back to the present world and sweep away the supernatural beings all over the world!
Of course, all of this is on the premise of earning 100 million ghost money and obtaining a way to leave the burial ground. If you can't leave, the Taotie army will never be able to appear in the world.
......
......
In Baishi Town, Lu Ziming and the others had already hidden in a secluded corner, constantly watching the town gate, anxiously and nervously waiting for Fang Xiu's arrival.
"What if Fang Xiu really goes to ambush the Yuelai Inn?" A look of worry flashed across Wen Jinglong's face.
Lu Ziming's face hardened: "Then let him block us. At worst, we can squeeze in and rent more dog kennels, toilets, and woodsheds. Baishi Town may not have much else, but it has plenty of dog kennels, toilets, and woodsheds."
Only Tong Yang's expression remained gloomy and uncertain, as if he were deep in thought.
A moment later, his expression suddenly changed.
"not good!"
A scream startled everyone.
"Tong Yang, what's wrong with you, you're so easily startled?"
Tong Yang's face was ashen: "Have you ever considered this: what if Fang Xiu hadn't chosen to block the lodging, but instead went to block the only pawnshop?"
"What!?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
"This is terrible! There's only one pawnshop in the entire White Stone Town where we can exchange for ghost money. If the pawnshop is blocked, we won't be able to exchange for ghost money anymore. If we can't exchange for ghost money, we won't be able to find a place to stay. Doesn't that mean we're doomed?"
Some people were hoping for the best: "The pawnshop is in a very remote location, and Fang Xiu is a newcomer, so he might not be able to find the pawnshop."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Ziming's face: "He knows the location of the pawnshop."
"He knows? He knew so much on his first visit to Baishi Town?" Wen Jinglong looked at Lu Ziming suspiciously, feeling that the other party had something to hide.
"You didn't tell him, did you?"
Lu Ziming's eyes darted around, and he changed the subject, saying, "Now is not the time to worry about these things. We should be thinking about what to do if he blocks the pawnshop."
Tong Yang pondered for a moment: "The only solution now is probably to lose money. Fang Xiu is arrogant and reckless. If we want to cooperate with him, we'll probably have to pay a price."
"I'm willing to pay compensation, but Lu Ziming, you'll have to cover the majority of it," Wen Jinglong suddenly said, directly shifting the blame to Lu Ziming.
Lu Ziming was furious: "When we were dividing up the profits, you were all scrambling for it, not even giving me the lion's share. Now that the situation has turned around, you want me to foot the bill when we're losing money? Dream on!"
Wen Jinglong sneered: "If you hadn't insisted on deceiving people, how could you have provoked such an immortal monster?"
Lu Ziming grew increasingly angry and was about to argue his case when he quickly realized something and immediately became overjoyed.
"Hahaha......"
"Lu Ziming, are you scared mad by the thought of losing money? What are you laughing at?"
"What am I laughing at?" Lu Ziming revealed a confident expression: "I'm laughing at Fang Xiu's lack of wisdom! If he really dares to block the pawnshop, he's just asking for death."
What do you mean?
"Are you all frightened by his immortality? Have you all forgotten the premise of his immortality?"
"you mean......."
"Could it be that...?"
Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
"That's right, he's immortal because of some strange phenomenon, but don't forget, there are no strange phenomena in White Stone Town during the day. In other words, if he dares to block the door, we can take the opportunity to kill him!"
"Great, let's do it this way!"
"If he dares to come today, he'll never leave alive!"
So everyone began to wait and wait for Fang Xiu to enter Baishi Town.
They even spent half a day busy in the town, setting up layers of traps.
However, after waiting all day, and with darkness approaching, Fang Xiu still hadn't appeared.
Lu Ziming's face turned extremely ugly: "He truly deserves to be the one to succeed me as the captain. It seems he has also thought of the things I have thought of."
