Chapter 133: The Mad Old Man
A few days later, near the mine...
Li Yi'an and his party found a hidden place to rest, and after the new partner brought back the information, they began to plan to find a breakthrough in the mine they entered.
The new companion was a skybird with snow-white feathers, which they had spotted as they passed by a cliff.
...
On that day, Xiao Tian inadvertently discovered his breath, Li Yi'an beckoned everyone to surround him, and the blood pupil volunteered to rush to the forefront.
I saw that this small sky bird was sleeping on a rock on the cliff wall, looking very tired.
Although there didn't seem to be any obvious injuries on the outside, his true yuan fluctuations were very unstable, and it was because of this that Xiao Tian could easily find out.
Even when Li Yi'an and his party were only less than ten meters away from him, the little guy finally woke up and found their group.
Seeing that he was about to escape, the blood pupil also made a move in an instant, and directly slapped the little guy's head with the blade of the sword.
The little guy was knocked away by the blood pupil and hit the cliff wall, and before he could react, the leopard's head had already pounced on it with the air technique...
After that, the process was much simpler, when the true yuan in this little guy's body was drained by Li Yi'an, he let the blood pupil create some illusory memories, and then they put it back in its original position again.
But what no one expected was that they met this little guy again not long after.
Seeing that his true yuan had not yet recovered, Li Yi'an couldn't bear to do it, so he knocked him out and left after throwing him directly in a relatively safe place.
But who knows, this little guy actually followed again...
This time, Li Yi'an directly captured him alive and did not rush to let him go.
He had to find out what was going on with the Sky Bird, and why he knew their route.
After this question, I realized that the Sky Bird's sensitivity to breath was even much stronger than that of Xiao Tian.
Not only that, but the Sky Bird Clan has a very strong desire for knowledge and curiosity.
Although he was knocked unconscious by Li Yi'an and his party that day, and his memory was implanted with blood pupils, he still firmly remembered the breath of Li Yi'an and his party.
A strong desire to explore kept driving him to explore what happened after that coma.
Even, driven by this curiosity, he didn't have time to recover his true yuan, and with tenacious perseverance, he directly embarked on a journey to find the truth.
Therefore, when he was captured by Li Yi'an, he hardly made any effort.
After asking the reason, Li Yi'an had a lot of respect for this little guy, he had never been to the Twilight Glacier before, but he really didn't know that there was such a persistent demon clan in the Twilight Glacier.
Since this little guy likes to follow them, let him fulfill this wish.
Press down, discuss, don't join, continue to press down, discuss...
I have to say that this little guy is still relatively stubborn, but the more he resists, the more Li Yi'an appreciates it...
In the end, the little guy nodded helplessly and signed a spiritual oath with Li Yi'an.
That day, Li Yi'an was in a good mood, others didn't know, he knew very well, although this little guy's cultivation was not high, but the scope of his investigation was wider than Xiaotian, especially for the next trip to the mine, what he needed very much was intelligence.
After a few days of wine and meat, even if he is driven away, he will not leave...
Li Yi even felt that such a process seemed to be a triad for the demon clan above the twilight glacier!
Convince people with 'reason', treat each other with wine, go through the process again, and the gods can't persuade you to go...
As for his name as Xiao Yu, the reason why he appeared on that cliff was because he was looking for his scattered people.
It's also wonderful, as if the Creator had made a joke.
Sky Birds are extremely sensitive to breath, but they can't remember the breath of their kind, so it seems to be common for the group to be separated.
He flew according to the route of the previous years in his memory, and flew for several days without finding his own group, so he planned to take a rest on that cliff, but who would have thought that he met Xiao Tian, who was also keen on breath.
And in the next few days, Xiao Yu's speciality, and the occurrence of something, made Li Yi'an completely abandon his original route.
...
The Twilight Glacier is very large, so he needs the memories of the leopard's head and the wolf's extinction to find these wild demon clans in the Origin Realm.
But recently, the group of people can always encounter some inexplicable demon clans on the way, so they almost hit them directly.
When Xiao Yu overcame the 'grace of one shot' of the blood pupil that day, with the cooperation of one bird and one sword, everyone finally understood.
It turned out that the people of the Immortal Sect had already started the so-called 'experience' on the twilight glacier.
The content of the experience was mainly to cultivate the actual combat ability of these Immortal Sect disciples, as well as to obtain information about Li Yi'an.
However, because the experience is based on the point system, and the points need to be obtained by killing demons, this leads to a large number of peripheral demon clans being killed.
Because the wild demon clan was not easy to find, these Immortal Sect disciples began to aim at the demon clan in the realm of the Immortal Sect.
Because these demon clans have lived in the realm divided by the Immortal Sect for a long time, they lack competition from other demon clans, and their lives are relatively comfortable and comfortable, and they have no sense of crisis at all.
Generally speaking, in the eyes of these Immortal Sect disciples, it is easy to slaughter, and it is simply a moving point.
Some of the demon clans in the territory divided by the Immortal Sect would even come out in groups to greet the disciples of the Immortal Sect when they saw them, and they were finally wiped out.
A few days after this happened, the other demon clans around who received the news began to migrate north in large numbers.
This is how the demon clan encountered by Li Yi'an and his entourage during this period of time.
...
Not to mention the various immortal sects of the Demon Killing Alliance, Li Yi'an himself didn't expect that these immortal sects chasing him would come out like this.
Of course, this is not only not a bad thing for him, but a good thing!
Originally, according to the plan, they not only needed to go to a specific area to find the marked demon clan, but also needed the two all-demon public enemies of Wolf Extermination and Leopard Head to be bait.
Now it's good, hit them in the face one after another!
And Xiao Yu, who joined at this time, came in handy.
Although he is only a first-order cultivator in the Source Realm, he is a wind-type demon clan.
Not to mention that it can fly, the speed is still very fast, and in terms of finding the Demon Clan of the Transformation Source Realm, it is simply the right medicine.
First of all, they could rule out the possibility of the existence of the Natal Realm Demon Clan on the Twilight Glacier, because no matter how confused the Immortal Sect was, it would not be so confused.
Therefore, if Xiao Yu flew around, everyone would be able to know where the nearest Demon Clan of the Transformation Source Realm was nearby.
It's just that Xiao Yu's cultivation is only suitable for reconnaissance, not for fighting, so how to determine the opponent's cultivation has become a big problem.
The Leopard Head and the Wolf Slayer stepped forward at this time, and they proposed that their cultivation could be roughly guessed based on the opponent's breath.
Because there are few human terrans on the twilight glacier, most of the demon clans will deliberately release their own breath to warn the other demon clans that this place already belongs to the territory.
Therefore, except for some demon clans who deliberately hide their own aura, most of the demon clans can be judged by this trick.
Li Yi'an smiled after hearing the suggestions of these two at that time, sure enough, those who understand demons have to be demons!
After that, things are a lot simpler.
As long as the opponent's aura can make Xiao Yu feel scared, his cultivation can basically be determined to be in the middle and upper echelons of the Transformation Source Realm.
Whenever Xiao Yu came back, the more scared he was, the more excited Li Yi'an and the others became, and even the leopard head and the wolf extermination were divided into levels, and they opened the market shamelessly.
The two of them divided Xiao Yu's state after flying back into four levels, normal, shivering, stupid, and paralyzed!
Li Yi'an thought that this was not good, it was easy to bring bad atmosphere, but he couldn't help but take the jar wine to bet.
And what they like to bet on the most is to shiver.
Because the cultivation of the demon clan corresponding to this level can basically be determined to be at the fourth or fifth level of the Transformation Source Realm, with their current overall strength, although it will take a little effort, they can basically win it smoothly.
Of course, Li Yi'an, who knows the recent developments, will not drain them as he did before when absorbing the true yuan, and often leaves a part of the true yuan.
Let them maintain the motivation to go north, he doesn't want to give points to these Immortal Sect disciples.
And the memories created by the blood pupil have changed from confusing and unclear memories to deliberately exaggerating the ruthlessness and cruelty of the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
This caused these demon clans to wake up and immediately run away, desperately going north.
Not only that, but the blood pupil also extracted a large number of memories about the Immortal Sect from the memories of these demon clans and reported it to Li Yi'an.
Therefore, although he was not present at the moment, nor had he seen it with his own eyes, he had learned about the movements of the Immortal Sect every day.
...
After this period of time, these northbound demon clans have worked tirelessly to 'see off'.
His cultivation had broken through to the sixth order of the Transformation Source Realm, and the quality of the immortal body had also improved again, reaching the seventh rank.
The Melting Spirit Pill has also been eaten by him, and his spiritual power has reached the realm of the seventh order of the Condensing Realm, and there seems to be a faint sign of breaking through again.
Xiao Tian was no exception, his cultivation had been greatly improved, and he had successfully entered the first order of the Transformation Source Realm.
This made Li Yi'an also sincerely envious, there was indeed a reason why the Tengu clan was excluded, if it weren't for the special immortal body, at the limit, almost no one could compare to the span of the Tengu realm.
...
"Boss, boss!"
Xiao Yu flew down from the air, and his two little legs stood on Li Yi'an's shoulders.
"Aren't you going to investigate the mines? Why did you come back so early?"
Li Yi'an was curious, he had sent Xiao Yu out earlier and asked him to investigate the general terrain of the mine from above the mine, but he didn't expect to come back so early.
Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, yes, but, not long after I flew out, I found a crazy old man in the forest in front of me, you don't think it's strange." I thought, the place near here must be the mine, so I speculate that this crazy old man came out of that mine, and if we take Sister Blood Pupil to retrieve his memories, it will be more comprehensive than the information I obtained from learning about that mine from the air. ”
Li Yi'an nodded after listening, if the old man Xiao Yu said was really from the mine, letting the blood pupil extract the memory would be of great use to them entering the mine at the moment.
"Can you be sure what kind of sect disciple it is? Also, what kind of cultivation is that old man?"
Xiao Yu shook his little head and looked at Li Yi'an with some doubts, "Not sure, his aura is quite strong, and this place is very close to the mine, I was afraid that he would find me, so I didn't dare to approach, but I can be sure that he is not wearing the clothes of the Immortal Sect!"
"Not the costume of the Immortal Sect?"
"Well, I'm wearing a black robe, my whole body is black, my eyesight is excellent, I can't be mistaken, there is no mark of any sect. ”
"Could it be a loose cultivator who was convicted by the Feather Arrow Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect?"
Wolf Slayer said at this time, "I'm not sure, I've seen some people in the mine, the convicted casual cultivation and ordinary labor clothes are not too particular, and there are all kinds of clothes to wear, but one thing is very strange, the mine is strictly forbidden to enter and exit." ”
"No entry or exit?"
Li Yi'an couldn't help frowning, if he could leave the mine and walk outside wantonly, it must have been allowed by the mine supervisor, which must have excluded the loose cultivation and ordinary labor of the guilty body, but it is incomprehensible why he is wearing a black robe without the symbol of the Immortal Sect.
As far as he knew, this kind of local costume was not to be worn indiscriminately, especially the costume of the overseer, which represented their status and rights in the mine!
He stopped condensing the true yuan, stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm, signaling Xiao Yu to fly to the palm.
"Xiao Yu, you described him as a crazy old man at first!"
"Yes, yes, yes!", Xiao Yu nodded.
"Describe what kind of state he is. ”
Xiao Yu thought for a while, and grasped a key point in the scene he had just seen, "Hmm... Come to think of it, that crazy old man seems to have killed a first-order Lin pig in the forest, I thought he would look for the demon pill and leave, but what I didn't expect was that he actually opened his mouth and bit it down!"
"Eat?", Wolf Swan was startled.
"Well, yes, I ate it, I saw him directly tear open the belly of the Lin pig with his hand, hey... It was so disgusting that I took a look at it and flew straight back. ”
The leopard head also walked over at this time, "Boss, don't you humans eat demon clans to alienate? Even when our demon clan eats demon clans, there will be a lot of taboos, this old man is a ruthless man!"
The wolf glanced at the leopard's head, he had never seen Chu Keren, so he didn't know what it meant for this to happen.
"This old man should already be a human demon!", Li Yi'an said lightly, his eyes already cold.
"What?", the leopard head was also stunned.
Humans and demons are not only recorded in the human race, but also spread among their demon clans, if the demon clan devours the demon clan with high cultivation, it will also be alienated in the long run, but because the demon clan itself is physically strong, therefore, the time of alienation is much slower than that of humans.
Moreover, whether it is the alienation of human beings or the alienation of demons, they are called human demons, because this word was created by the human race.
Li Yi'an was more concerned about whether this crazy old man was an ordinary human demon, or a demi-demon parasitized by some kind of 'god' like Chu Keren.
In all fairness, if it was the latter, he would have abandoned the plan at once, turned around immediately, and never set foot in the mine.
The reason why he will continue to move towards the mine is partly because of Zixiao's needs, and partly because of his confidence in Yuanzong, if this kind of demihuman demon appears in large numbers, it is impossible for Yuanzong not to be aware of it.
"Take a gamble!"
Li Yi made a decision with peace of mind, no matter what, this trip was very important to him and Zixiao, and he had to confirm it in person.
"Remember the location!"
"Yes, yes. ”
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he spread his wings and flew above everyone.
Tiger Dali was sent out by Li Yi'an to perform other tasks these days, and after putting away the electric flame snow leopard, he followed Xiao Yu in the air with blood pupils, Xiao Tian, wolf extinguishing and leopard heads.
Everyone climbed over the two hills, and finally saw the crazy old man that Xiao Yu said.
The man's face was pale, his long hair mixed with blood hung on both sides of his cheeks, and his body was covered by the loose black robe, except for his bloody hands.
In front of him and on his side, there were two corpses of the demon clan, in addition to the Lin pig mentioned by Xiao Yu earlier, there was also a snow wolf that had just died.
The sound of 'click, click, click' was a little eerie and eerie in the dense forest, it was the sound of his sharp teeth and bones gnawing.
There was still an object like intestines hanging from the corner of the old man's mouth, and he suddenly raised his head and threw the intestines into the air, got up and bit them all in one bite, chewed them three or two times, and swallowed them into his stomach.
After looking around, he continued to look down at the belly of the snow wolf and continued to eat.
"Vomit..."Xiao Tian felt a little sick to his stomach, he had transformed early, and he had long been accustomed to human habits, and he immediately felt vomiting when he saw such a barbaric and bloody scene.
At this time, although the wolf was open and hidden, its aura had already fluctuated, although it was not the same race, but it was the same kind, this scene, he couldn't accept it.
"Hold steady, wait and see, this place is already very close to the mine, plan and then move, don't be careless!"
The wolf stared at the old man intently, gritted his teeth and nodded, his breath gradually stabilized...
Li Yixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the old man had inadvertently transmitted the True Yuan, although it was vague, he and Xiao Tian both caught it, it was the fluctuation of the seventh order of the Transformation Source Realm.
If it was an ordinary monk, he was not afraid, and he could settle this old man alone.
But this is a human demon, after fighting with Chu Keren, he knows very well the strength of these human demons!
Of course, according to what Blood Pupil said, ordinary human demons don't have such perverted bodies, and Chu Keren is definitely an accident.
However, no matter what, if the opponent is a human demon, you have to be careful.
What's more, it's very close to the mine.
If this crazy old man can't be taken down for a while, it will inevitably attract the attention of other unknown beings in the mine, and the whole plan will be ruined.
"Blood Pupil, can you estimate his strength? Zixiao's memory is missing, among us, you are the only one who has a complete memory of humans and demons!"
The voice of the blood pupil sounded in Li Yi'an's mind, "The physical strength of ordinary human demons will be slightly enhanced due to alienation, so judging the physical strength of human demons actually needs to be judged according to his alienation order." ”
"However, isn't the direction of alienation uncertain? How to judge the degree of his alienation?", Li Yi'an was a little puzzled.
"Hmm... That...", the blood pupil said hesitantly: "When the White Emperor killed the human demon back then, he only told me so much, and it was basically seconds, so there was no need to judge at all..."
"This..."
Li Yi'an was a little worried, he could know from the mouth of the blood pupil that humans and demons would strengthen their bodies because of the deepening of the degree of alienation, and the more stages of alienation, the stronger the physical body, but the direction of alienation was uncertain, and what should be judged by what it was, how many levels it was.
At this time, Xiao Tian suddenly transmitted, "Boss, another breath is approaching, and the speed is very fast!"
"What's going on? Are they being discovered?"
Li Yi was taken aback, could it be that someone from the mine came?
