"Nothing, I'm just curious why so many strange things have come here."

"That's to protect the minor monsters. The daytime is the monsters' Home Field, but at night, even a powerful monster can't defeat thousands of soldiers."

Therefore, any eerie entities below level 5 can come to the Great Guanyin Statue before nightfall each day to seek protection.

For level 5 and higher anomalies, you'll have to deal with them on your own.

The owner placed the freshly prepared food in front of Gu Xi and casually remarked.

The shopkeeper also realized at this point that Gu Xi was not from this This City.

He was quite curious about strange things.

He was probably an exorcist from out of town.

Although he was just an ordinary person and didn't like the eeriness of appearing in the city during the day, the boss didn't want to disrupt some of the This City's customs.

So the boss only said one sentence and didn't say anything more.

Not to mention describing those bizarre situations.

Gu Xi didn't ask any questions. Strange creatures weren't his target this time, at least not the weaker ones.

His targets are the players in the nighttime Warring States period and other cities.

The fact that the Bailian Grand Ceremony could be turned into this mess means that Bailian City has lost face big time this time.

If the top spot in the Bailian Grand Ceremony is snatched away by players from other cities, then Bailian City will never be able to hold its head high again for the next ten years.

Whether for his own sake or for Bailian City's, Gu Xi would not set his sights on the strange.

Perhaps only the players in Autumn Wind City would have a need for these strange occurrences.

While Gu Xi was eating and drinking, the sky gradually darkened. Around 6:30, the sky was almost completely dark, with only a little light remaining where the sun had set.

At this Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin seemed to have been stimulated by something, and was directly erased from the map.

At the same time, the sound of bells and drums rang out, and Gu Xi discovered that the entire city seemed to have been magnified many times over.

The two-story wooden buildings that originally made up the city have now been transformed into castles like the Japanese Tenshukaku.

The distance between houses was increased, and various different soldiers appeared on the city walls.

The once bustling streets and alleys have been turned into wilderness, while the trees in the distance have grown rapidly, twisting into different shapes.

But this was not what surprised Gu Xi. Gu Xi discovered that some Shingu not far away were shining with a dazzling golden light.

What are those places?

Gu Xi asked a question out of curiosity, but as soon as she looked up, she was startled by her boss's condition.

It turned out that more than twenty soldiers in armor had been standing behind the boss, grilling food with tools, while the boss himself sat on the side like a general, directing the operation.

When Gu Xi looked over, the Gu Xi chuckled back.

Gu Xi then discovered that the food in front of him seemed to have also increased in size due to the darkness.

However, Gu Xi doesn't have time to talk about this now.

He slowly stood up, and the various accessories that had been adorning his suit returned to his body.

With the Mind Nether Lamp in his left hand, the Cold Wind Staff in his right, and the Reverse Lich on his shoulder, Gu Xi finally walked out of the food stall with satisfaction.

The moment Gu Xi stepped out of the food stall, a voice rang in his ears.

[Please note that you have stepped out of the safe zone and will now be attacked by demons lurking in the darkness.]

Demons in the night?

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then looked up into the darkness.

Just then, Gu Xi heard a voice coming from afar.

"It's a person, it's a person!"

"Where?"

"Kill them!"

"Eat meat!"

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Gu Xi saw a group of strange demonic creatures rushing out from not far away.

They are called demonic creatures because they have horns on their heads and red or brown skin.

They were considered strange because they carried wooden sticks and had tiger skins wrapped around their waists, making them look unlike any normal beings.

There weren't many of them, only about seventeen or eighteen. When they charged forward, their steps were clearly weak, and it was obvious that they hadn't eaten nine meals in three days.

No wonder they rushed out as soon as they saw Gu Xi appear alone.

But thinking about it, it's understandable.

The mortals of this world all know what they might encounter at night.

Even when they go out to set up a stall, they are protected by soldiers.

These demons simply cannot find meat to eat.

Now that they rarely see an ordinary person with nothing by their side, they naturally want to jump out and grab the meat.

However, they encountered Gu Xi. Seeing these strange demons rushing towards them, Gu Xi stretched out his hand, and the Evil Coffin appeared in front of him.

As Gu Xi flipped onto the Evil Coffin, the City Gate behind him opened, and the Skeleton Soldier of the Battle Squad rushed out quickly, followed by a group of Ghost.

At the same time, a voice came to Gu Xi's ear.

[Gu Xi of Bailian City violated the rules and was judged to have cheated, thus being removed from the Points Ranking.]

Upon hearing this sound, Gu Xi smiled and then pressed his hand forward.

"Kill them!"

Upon hearing Gu Xi's order, the Skeleton Head of Gu Xi's last Battle Squad, a skeleton, raised his Longsword and charged out.

This is Skeleton Head who has followed Gu Xi for quite some time. He used to have four Battle Squad under Gu Xi, but gradually he was reduced to having only his own Battle Squad.

Even so, he continued to serve Gu Xi's subordinates. Even when Gu Xi had more Undead Headman or even Hero, he always stood by Gu Xi's side.

This time, Gu Xi released him, which was an opportunity for the Skeleton Head.

Gu Xi had already replenished his troops and even assigned several Skeleton Warriors to his team.

This oldest Battle Squad has now reached its peak combat effectiveness.

The 57 Skeleton Soldier charged forward together, raising their shields and striking the strange demons as they reached them.

The strange demons that charged at them looked like they were powerful beings, but they were actually knocked back several steps by the Skeleton Soldier' charge.

This startled the Skeleton Head, who raised his Longsword and made a slashing motion.

So all the Skeleton Soldier raised their shields to protect themselves, while simultaneously slashing their Longsword at the strange demon.

At this moment, the Ghost that flew out later also arrived in front of the strange demon. They immediately pounced on the strange demon and reached out to grab it.

But as soon as they grabbed, their arms quickly retracted, and they discovered that this strange demon was covered in a thin layer of flames.

This situation made the demons feel that they were capable again. They raised their clubs and slammed them down on the Skeleton Soldier in front of them, trying to fight their way out.
