Taidu City.

One of the counties and cities under Zhenjiang Prefecture.

The person responsible for guarding the North City area this month is Foundation Establishment Perfection monk Qin Tianhan.

He has a city guard squad of twenty people under his command.

Every human city built by Daxia has a city guard.

These city guards are open to all monks with good financial status. Whether they are casual cultivators or monks from family backgrounds, they can apply to join the city guards.

After joining the city guard, as long as you perform your duties and take turns on duty, you can enjoy the fixed amount of spiritual stones, elixirs and other cultivation resources distributed by Daxia.

The duty of the city guard is to protect the humans in the city.

They not only have to guard against monsters coming from the wilderness outside the city from attacking the city, but they also have to supervise the battles among the monks inside the city.

As in the past, Qin Tianhan stood on the city wall, looking into the dark wilderness outside the city.

Everything was calm.

Qin Tianhan was used to this situation.

It has been sixty years since he joined the Taidu City Guards, and he has never encountered any major troubles, and he has never seen a monster attack the city.

On weekdays, at most, monks would take action in the city, and they would need to intervene to punish them.

Unless there are special reasons, Daxia strictly prohibits monks from fighting in the city.

But for people like monks, there are always no taboos.

Therefore, monks fighting in the city would happen once or twice every three days.

As long as no mortals were accidentally hurt, they would reprimand them and make them pay some spiritual stones as a fine, and then they would be fine.

This job is much easier than imagined.

Involuntarily, Qin Tianhan's eyes wandered and he began to make calculations in his mind.

After he was lucky enough to advance to Foundation Establishment as a casual cultivator, the resources required for the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator were too much for him to afford as a casual cultivator.

Realizing that it was not easy for him to practice as a casual cultivator, he finally chose to enlist in the Taidu City Guards after careful consideration.

Although the rules of the city guards are very strict and they are not as free as the casual cultivators, the treatment of the city guards is good.

Not to mention the quota of resource supply, there are only four months in a year that need to be rotated, and the rest of the time can be allocated freely.

Under such conditions, he actually practiced step by step to the perfect state of foundation building.

Now that I am only over one hundred and thirty years old, I have prepared for another ten or twenty years, and I still have the opportunity to try to break through the golden elixir.

Once you become a golden elixir monk, you will leap over the dragon gate, and you will be considered a powerful person in Taidu City.

It is extremely rare for a casual cultivator to achieve such a level.

Thinking of such a prospect, Qin Tianhan couldn't help but feel a little complacent on his face.

"Huh? What is this? Is something rotten?" Qin Tianhan's nose twitched subconsciously as he wandered around.

There was an extremely weak smell of decay in the air, and he smelled it.

Human beings have six consciousnesses, namely eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness and spiritual consciousness.

Each of the six senses has its own magical uses, but the most important spiritual sense and the secret of practice are extremely precious and difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

The cultivation of the five senses other than spiritual consciousness is extremely time-consuming, and the increase in combat power is not as direct as using spells.

Generally speaking, monks would still choose to spend their time practicing exercises to accumulate spiritual power, or practicing spells to increase their combat effectiveness.

Few people will practice the art of five senses.

But Qin Tianhan is a different kind of person.

The reason why he was able to break through to the foundation-building stage as a casual cultivator was because he had practiced an auxiliary technique to train his nose sense.

After practicing this technique, although his combat power has not increased, because his nose sense is far better than that of ordinary monks, he can often smell the smell of monsters in the wilderness and avoid dangerous places.

You can even use the unique taste of elixirs to find those elixirs that are deeply hidden and difficult to find.

It was also because of this that he was able to accumulate enough resources on his own to break through to the foundation building stage.

He was deeply aware of the magical power of nose consciousness, so even after he became a foundation-building monk and mastered the ability to release his spiritual consciousness, he did not relax his cultivation of nose consciousness.

Facts have proved that this choice was not wrong.

Because the distance that his spiritual consciousness can spread out is limited, many times, his nose can feel things that his spiritual consciousness cannot detect.

Such as now.

"That's not right!" Qin Tianhan's face darkened.

Because this decaying smell is different from ordinary items decaying, it... is more like the smell of corpse!

Qin Tianhan's background as a casual cultivator made him extremely cautious in doing things.

Maybe others wouldn't take it seriously if they smelled this smell. After all, in such a huge city, it's not a strange thing to have the smell of corpses, right?

But Qin Tianhan won't.

"Follow me." Qin Tianhan's face darkened, and he led his monks in the direction of the smell of decay.

Although the city guard monks felt a little inexplicable, they would not disobey orders and quickly followed.

After searching for the source of the rotten smell for a moment, Qin Tianhan was stunned.

The rotten smell he was looking for was getting stronger and stronger, which meant that he was close to finding the source of the smell.

However, Qin Tianhan twitched his nose slightly.

At this moment, the air, from all directions, was mixed with the same smell of decay.

Just for a moment, the whole city seemed to be filled with this foul smell of decay.

What shocked him even more was that under the strong smell of decay, he also smelled a faint smell of blood.

A bad premonition came to his mind.

Their footsteps did not stop, and they continued to rush towards the source of the first rotten smell,

What kind of ghost is at work!

"That's...what?!" A monk said, pointing not far away with trembling teeth.

In the night.

A huge human-shaped creature stood in the distance, with some blood on its face, its skin was strangely pale, and its face was distorted.

The eyes on the head were glowing with extremely ferocious red blood, and the mouth was full of sharp fangs, shining with the sheen of gold and iron.

The skin all over his body is like a layer of pure black armor, looking extremely tough.

At such a distance, not only Qin Tianhan, but also other monks could smell the strong rotten smell and fishy smell of blood emanating from his body.

This behemoth was grabbing a mortal, its fangs piercing the mortal's throat, swallowing and sucking the blood.

The mortal shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a mummy.

"Blood...blood stiffness!" A city guard monk who came from a cultivation family and had a broad vision replied in a trembling voice.

Naturally, a blood freeze would not frighten him so much.

——Behind Xue Zhan, there are countless black shadows, although the size of those black shadows is much smaller than that of the leader Xue Zhan.

However, that number is too much.

The houses in this area had long since collapsed and were in pieces, turning into ruins with mummified mortal bodies strewn all over the ground.

The reason why there has been no movement before is because at some point, someone used an extremely rough sound-barring barrier to cover this place.

The scene in front of him was like hell on earth, which horrified and shocked Qin Tianhan.

Even the foundation-building monks seemed a little insignificant in front of such a large number of corpse puppets.

At this moment, when the zombies saw the city guard team led by Qin Tianhan, they rushed over enthusiastically.

Their instinct made them feel that the monk's body was flowing with more powerful and sweet blood.

The essence and blood of the monks will also play a more obvious role in their evolution.

For Qin Tianhan, the scene of countless corpses rushing toward him was like falling into an ice cave and will never be forgotten.

"Start the smoke!" Looking at the horrific scene in front of him, Qin Tianhan's face twitched violently and he roared.

Immediately, Qin Tianhan quickly stepped back, and at the same time took out a spiritual talisman from the storage ring, and threw it upward with his spiritual power.

The talisman instantly shone with light and turned into a billowing red smoke that shot up into the sky.

Even if the night is shrouded, it still cannot cover up the light of the red smoke.

Wolf Smoke Talisman!

A talisman used to activate warning signals.

Qin Tianhan received this talisman as soon as he joined the city guard.
