756: Rain Town

Rainfall Town is one of the top ten largest Dead Spirit Race settlements within the Demon Beast Forest.

It is built between two mountain Peaks, with the hundred-meter-high Peaks serving as natural barriers for the town.

Under the cover of night, two figures quietly arrived outside Rainfall Town.

“Senior, that’s Rainfall Town ahead.”

“Should I still help you cut off their connection with Blade City, like before?”

The Xuanqing Snake King pointed ahead and turned to Wang Chen, asking in a fawning tone.

For the past few days, he had been acting with Wang Chen, serving to sever the connection between the Dead Spirit towns and Blade City.

However, after the Xuanqing Snake King finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Wang Chen.

At this moment, Wang Chen was looking up at Rainfall Town, nestled between the two mountains not far away.

Unlike the Dead Spirit towns encountered before, Rainfall Town had a city wall made of bluestone at its entrance.

This ten-meter-high city wall started from the foot of the two mountains, completely separating the inside from the outside, with the Guardian Array's defensive barrier perfectly adhering to the outside of the wall, emitting a faint glow.

Just by looking at this city wall, one could tell that the power of Rainfall Town was definitely not weak.

Moreover, Undead Warriors guarded the city gate entrance, and many Undead Warriors patrolled the city wall.

“Senior?”

Seeing that Wang Chen did not speak, the Xuanqing Snake King could not help but call out again.

“Oh…”

Wang Chen came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from the distance, and said faintly,

“You will come in with me next.”

“Ah?”

The Xuanqing Snake King was stunned by the words and said with some confusion,

“Senior, didn’t you not allow me to intervene before?”

“It’s the same this time; I just need you to bring me in.”

Wang Chen looked at the confused Xuanqing Snake King and explained,

“Dawn is coming soon, and we don’t have much time left.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen casually took out a bamboo hat from his spatial ring and put it on.

Previously, when cooperating with the Xuanqing Snake King, in order not to expose him, Wang Chen always kept the Xuanqing Snake King hidden in the shadows, while he himself quietly snuck in when the Soul Hunter Team returned from their outings.

But now that dawn was approaching and the space where Rainfall Town was located would separate from the real world after day and night alternated, Wang Chen was not sure if he could wait for Rainfall Town’s hunting team before then.

Moreover, the Xuanqing Snake King had already been exposed in Blade City, so there was no need to hide anymore. Now was a good time to take advantage of the Xuanqing Snake King’s identity while other Dead Spirit settlements besides Blade City were unaware of the situation.

“Understood.”

The Xuanqing Snake King nodded upon hearing this, immediately guessing Wang Chen’s intention.

“After entering Rainfall Town, I will help Senior keep watch to prevent any Dead Spirits from escaping.”

The Xuanqing Snake King said, then turned and walked out of the shadows to lead the way.

Soon.

Wang Chen followed the Xuanqing Snake King to the city wall of Rainfall Town.

Upon seeing the two, the Undead Warriors on the city wall immediately became vigilant, and many aimed their crossbows in their direction.

At the same time, the Undead Warriors guarding the city gate also tightened their grip on their weapons.

“Who?”

The small leader among the Undead Warriors asked sharply.

“Are you blind?”

The Xuanqing Snake King swaggered forward, his scaled face directly pressing against the Guardian Array’s defensive barrier:

“You don’t even recognize me. Do you believe I’ll eat you as a snack right now?”

“Black… Black Snake Adult?”

The Dead Spirit small leader was scared and took a step back, his body trembling.

“Why have you come?”

He asked with a trembling voice.

“I am the patrol guard of the entire Demon Beast Forest, why can’t I come?”

The Xuanqing Snake King’s icy snake eyes swept over the Dead Spirit small leader, and he snorted coldly:

“I’m here to find your town mayor. Hurry up and open this turtle shell for me.”

“This…”

Hearing his words, the Dead Spirit small leader’s face showed difficulty, and his gaze lingered on Wang Chen behind the Xuanqing Snake King.

The Dead Spirit small leader had no doubts about the Xuanqing Snake King’s identity; after all, the ferocious snake scales and strong Demonic Beast Qi could not be faked. However, as for Wang Chen, although he wore a bamboo hat and his appearance was unclear, the Dead Spirit small leader sensed the Qi of a living person.

“Black Snake Adult, who is this?”

The Dead Spirit small leader asked, emboldened.

Bang bang bang!!

“Do you really want to become a snack?”

The Xuanqing Snake King angrily slapped the Guardian Array’s defensive barrier twice, his eyes turning extremely unkind.

“No, no, no, it’s just that the Demon Beast Forest hasn’t been peaceful recently. The Town Mayor suspects that humans have entered the Demon Beast Forest at night, and your companion…”

The Dead Spirit small leader was startled, but still endured his fear and spoke. However, seeing the red light already appearing in the Xuanqing Snake King’s eyes, he quickly changed his tone:

“Black Snake Adult’s companion definitely won’t be a problem.”

As he spoke, the Dead Spirit small leader took out a token and opened a portal on the Guardian Array’s defensive barrier.

“Black Snake Adult, please enter.”

“Hmph!”

The Xuanqing Snake King hummed with satisfaction, directly leading Wang Chen inside, and at the same time, he unceremoniously ordered:

“Go call your Town Mayor and Hunting Team Leader over, I have something to discuss with them.”

… …

… …

At the same time.

Rainfall Town Mayor’s Hall.

The Town Mayor and the Hunting Team Leader were sitting in chairs, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat tense.

“Town Mayor, the Demon Beast Forest is very restless now. Those crazed Demonic Beasts seem to be startled, and there have been several riots.”

The Hunting Team Leader said with a grave tone:

“Many of our Soul Hunter Team members have been lost. I propose we stop hunting for a period and seal the town until this storm passes…”

“No.”

Moluo, the Town Mayor of Rainfall Town, who was sitting at the head, interrupted the Hunting Team Leader before he could finish speaking.

“Hunting cannot stop. The amount of Demonic Beast flesh and blood concerns the growth of the next generation in the town.”

“Furthermore, this year’s Grand Sacrifice Ceremony is also approaching. If we cannot hunt enough Demonic Beast flesh and blood, the Mother God’s blessing we receive during the sacrifice ceremony will decrease.”

“Such a loss is unbearable for us!”

Moluo’s tone was stern, and he ignored the Hunting Team Leader’s grim expression.

“Town Mayor, I don’t believe you didn’t sense the commotion outside earlier.”

The Hunting Team Leader’s tone also hardened.

“Six Peak eighth-stage powerhouses fighting fiercely in the Demon Beast Forest, the surrounding area is already in chaos.”

“Those maddened Demonic Beasts don’t distinguish between friend and foe, even starting to kill their own kind. You were once a Soul Hunter Team member, so you must understand how dangerous this situation is.”

“As soon as our clansmen go out, they will face the predicament of being besieged by crazed Demonic Beasts.”

“Now, every time we go out hunting, the number of casualties is twice or even three times what it used to be.”

By the end, the Hunting Team Leader was emotional, almost standing up and pointing at Moluo’s nose to question him.
