"Fellow Daoist, how about letting us go first?" Liu Xixi whispered. "I don't think you'll have time later. Besides, I'm pretty strong and can help you."
'Someone's coming. If a fight breaks out, we're done for.'
Jiang Zuo ignored Liu Xixi and looked toward the city gate.
The sound grew closer, and then a patrol squad appeared before them.
The moment they saw the patrol squad, the Liu sisters cried out, only to desperately stifle their screams.
Jiang Zuo was also surprised. The arrivals weren't Blood Demons, but rotting corpses with decaying flesh.
They were a squad of ten, each carrying a long spear.
They did nothing but patrol. As they passed Jiang Zuo and the others, they simply ignored them.
Jiang Zuo watched the rotting corpses, puzzled. 'If they don't attack people, then what are the conditions for them to attack?'
'If the trigger is entering the city, they wouldn't need to come out here.'
'It's not sight, perception, or sound.'
