004 Rats

Chu Lie, Jiao Meng, and Chai Shengrong escorted Qiao Xinyu and Xiao Yi, the shopkeepers of Hongyan Tower, on the road to Bifang City.

The owner of this Hongyan Building is a master of refining voids, and he is also one of the three refining beings of Bi Fangtai. Whenever the number of several specialties here in Hongyan Tower reaches a certain level, then they have to rush to the head office of Bi Fangtai to gather them in one place.

In fact, Qiao Xinyu himself is also a god-transforming monk, and the reason why he joined Hongyan Tower is also to seek the protection of a cultivator.

originally thought that this guild would be very simple, but Xiao Yiwan didn't expect that Qiao Xinyu would become the biggest burden in this team.

Along the way, he lived in a character caravan, which was towed by a green-haired curly sheep, and he only traveled about 120 miles a day.

Xiao Yi, who has long been accustomed to traveling thousands of miles a day, feels that he is being played by this shopkeeper Qiao. If it weren't for the secret hidden, he would have had the heart to include it in the mountains and rivers and hurry away.

"It's good to get used to it. In fact, this shopkeeper Joe is also for the good of all of us. Only by moving forward so slowly can it not arouse the vigilance of the demon beasts along the way. Don't underestimate this RV, and fellow Daoists, this has been laid down with a Qingxin Spirit Array. If you don't believe me, you can touch it and try it......"

In the past few days, Chai Xingrong's mood has stabilized a bit, and when the escort mission is over, she will return to the village to retreat and practice. Originally, this retreat was prepared for Chai Heng at home, but now that Chai Heng has fallen, Chai Shengrong has to take on the heavy responsibility of the lintel of the light gate.

Xiao Yat touched the carriage with his fingers suspiciously, but when he made contact, his expression was condensed.

A feeling of the passage of life hit, and the power of the fairy spirit in the body was also rapidly absorbed by the carriage.

"It's ......"

Chai Shirong opened Xiao Yi's finger and patiently explained: "This Qingxin Spirit Array can quickly drain the immortal spirit power in the body of the contact, so the demon beasts around the car will instinctively escape this danger. Only the green-haired curly sheep can not be affected by this spirit array. The only drawback is that the strength of this green-haired curly sheep is too weak, and its current speed should be understood as it is running wildly in its hooves. ”

Xiao Yi nodded understandingly, it seemed that the stronger the opponent of this Spirit Array, the greater the impact. The reason why the green wool curly sheep will not be affected may be because of its lack of strength, right? However, such a green sheep can pull an RV of such a size, and this physical strength is probably not much better than that of a horse in the mortal world.

On the fifth day, everyone officially stepped into the wilderness of the suburbs called by the fairy world.

"Alright, let's keep going!"

Looking at the suburbs who had just rushed back, Chu Lie could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.

Yesterday, Jiao Meng said that he wanted to rush back to the village to replenish some goods, so he asked for leave to leave the group. Now that I have rushed back, it is estimated that this is the last time I will rush back to the village on this trip.

Now the group is more than 500 miles away from the village, and a trip back is a thousand miles away. If you don't use the help of flying, it is almost impossible for everyone to travel thousands of miles. But this kind of speed, it is estimated that only Xiao Yi can do it.

The desire of the people of the fairy realm to occupy the territory is not as strong as that of the spirit realm, and as long as they live in their own place, they already feel satisfied. After all, more powers in the fairy world are not human beings at all, and even the human race can be regarded as a small race in the fairy world.

The real four races of the Immortal Realm are led by their own Immortal Emperors. The four major races are not necessarily huge in number, but the influence of this race on the fairy world. For example, the Born Immortal Emperor Taihao, he is the native of the Immortal Realm. They were all humanoid, with silver hair and white wings on their backs. If it is said that the cultivators are constantly exploring the way of heaven, then the people of the Yu clan think that they are the representatives of the way of heaven. Therefore, the Yu clan is disdainful of the existence of other immortal realms.

There is also an earthly immortal emperor Qiling, a humanoid tree transformed by grass and tree elves, and has survived for millions of years. This Earth Spirit Race can be said to be the largest number of people in the Immortal Realm, so the people of the Heavenly Realm are in awe of the flowers and trees in the wild, because they don't know which tree has the ancestor of the Earth Spirit Race behind it. These Earth Spirit Clans majored in the Medical Dao Dan Dao and were highly respected in the Immortal Realm, but they were naturally afraid of fire, so many pills could not be refined in person.

Whether it is the Feather Clan or the Earth Spirit Clan, these people are all indisputable native races in the fairy world. But the demon clan of the fairy world is the most powerful force.

Demon Beast Immortal Emperor Lian Xu, the nine-headed lion king, humanoid lion head, born to kill! The demon beast clan has a strong temperament, and will definitely do their best in every battle. Although it is said that many times the demon beast clan is unprincipled, and even extremely protective of shortcomings. But because they are good at refining weapons, they still have a very good reputation. After all, even if you are not a warlike person, it is necessary to have a magic weapon at hand. You can refrain from attacking others, but self-preservation should be the most basic bottom line.

The least number of immortals in the world should be born aliens. The alien Immortal Emperor Ao Sheng is a real dragon, he is surrounded by golden scales, a humanoid dragon head, and his strength is strong but he does not like to fight. No one dares to provoke the existence of alien races, because there have been four holy beasts in their clan, as well as rare birds and beasts such as unicorns. Many alien races are the only existence in the world, but many of the alien races are just demon races with blood. Because of the different races of the bloodline, the world and the earth, these alien races disdain to be in the company of demon beasts, and they pride themselves on being more noble than the demon race. But this view seems a little ridiculous to the people of the fairy world, because the real alien race doesn't care about the life or death of those side bloodlines.

The most representative is the Immortal Emperor Ao Sheng, his nine children, none of whom are true dragons. The people of the immortal realm are all respectful to these nine Ao Sheng's heirs, after all, if they provoke each other, they may touch Ao Sheng's scales.

It's like the secular royal eunuchs, who have wives and concubines, and many slaves. These people are not his descendants, but they still use the name of eunuchs to make a fortune outside. Whether it is an official or a commoner, they will be afraid of these people. If you dig deeper, these eunuchs themselves are just servants who serve others. But they are open and closed to the outside world, representing the royal ......

In Xiao Yi's opinion, there is almost no difference between the demon race and the alien race. If you have to split it, that is the difference between loose monks and sect monks.

The demon clan is like a spiritual cultivator, with strength, but it is not orthodox. The alien race is more like a monk of a sect clan, with a noble birth, but he may not really have any strength.

"Then does my human race have any Immortal Emperor care?"

Xiao Yi heard Chai Shengrong's story, and asked casually.

"It's been too long, I've heard that there were, but for hundreds of thousands of years, our human race has been suppressed. But what this should be a taboo, I haven't heard of a specific reason for it. But my human race must have its own Immortal Emperor, this can't be wrong!"

Chai Xingrong looked into the distance, and there was a look of longing in it.

"So sure, what proof does the fairy have?"

Chai Xingrong nodded, and then said softly: "There are five immortal palaces on the atrium continent of our immortal realm, and four of them are the immortal palaces of the feather clan, the spirit clan, the demon clan, and the alien race. The fifth immortal palace has never been entered, but many people rumor that it is the Terran Immortal Palace. But whether it is or not is uncertain. Anyway, it has been sitting idle, and there are still a few people in our village who have watched from afar four hundred years ago. I heard that the Scale Clan, the Phantom Clan, and the Water Clan once claimed to be the Lord of the Immortal Palace. But I never saw them go in......"

"The Terran has never entered, how can the fairy be sure that my Terran will be the master of the Fifth Immortal Palace?"

Xiao Yi asked casually as he walked slowly.

"I just know!

Her unreasonableness made Xiao Yi a little in a trance, and it felt like a memory brought to him by Yao Ping'er and Jingxi Gao Huan.

"This trip Chu Daoyou gave a certain number of fairy spirit stones......

Xiao Yi said casually without a head.

"Oh......"

Chai Xingrong also responded casually, and did not mean to extend this topic.

"It should be the benefits that you Daoist friends deliberately gave to He, right? This escort seems to have been specially arranged by you. ”

Chai Xingrong glanced at Xiao Yi, and then responded: "Who gave you this illusion? Didn't you say it? We took Daoyou to Bifang City by the way." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, followed quickly, and said, "It should be a man's intuition, right?"

At night, it is still a hole opened by Chai Shengrong to settle down. Some monsters here will go crazy at night, and it will be very troublesome if they encounter it. So before the sky was over, these people began to guard the surroundings and prepare to arrange a place to camp.

The green-haired sheep was put away, and the shopkeeper of Hongyan Building did not get out of the car, he just hid the RV and blended into the dense forest.

"Now that we're far away from the village, we all need to be more vigilant. I had already set up a terrifying array just now, and it is estimated that ordinary fierce beasts would not dare to approach this side easily. Let's rest early, and we'll have to hurry tomorrow morning. ”

Although he didn't have a divine sense to go out to investigate, Chu Lie was also very tired now.

In fact, if he really had to use his divine sense to guard his surroundings, then he would be much easier at the end of the day. But now, in order not to attract the attention of the surrounding demon beasts and elves, they can only use their ears and eyes to investigate. In this way, the astonishing consumption of him is much greater.

Xiao Yat has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so it is not uncommon to distinguish the surrounding environment with his five senses. However, these cultivators in the immortal realm have relied on the immortal method since they were children, so very few people with the sensitivity of this kind of martial artist go back to practice.

At first, everyone was still immersed in a state of meditation with their eyes closed, but it was only midnight, and suddenly a person ran in from outside, and it was the suburbs who had just gone out for an hour.

"Wake up, everyone, there's movement outside......"

Chu Lie knew that he would definitely encounter a night attack by fierce beasts along the way, so his spirit was the most vigilant at night.

"What's going on? What did you find?"

A half-foot-long mouse appeared in the hands of the suburb fierce, Xiao Yi didn't feel anything, but Chu Lie and Chai Shengrong stood up suddenly.

"How many have you encountered?"

The suburb took the mouse, and his face sank instantly.

"When I was on alert, I spotted three rats coming to feed. All of them were killed, and none escaped back. ”

"Let's go out quickly, I'm afraid that these three are not here to forage, but most likely to come to investigate. ”

Everyone hurried out of the cave and began to search around. Because Xiao Yi came out for the first time, Chai Xingrong asked Xiao Yi to act with him, so as not to be careless and underestimate the enemy.

"Don't look at this rat as only building a foundation and cultivating, but once encountered, it is the most difficult beast. ”

"Building the foundation...... The toughest?"

Seeing Xiao Yi's confused face, Chai Shengrong explained: "This thing usually haunts in groups, and it will also take off. It can jump up to six feet to attack the enemy. ”

"If you can't fly in the sky, can't you fly?"

Chai Xingrong looked at Xiao Yi and said helplessly: "Once the rats are dispatched in groups, they will attract a kind of white-eyed ghost owl, a bird of prey in the infancy stage. So Ascend Edgeworth simply won't work. ”

"The ghost owl of the Yuan Infant Stage, it should still be able to deal with it, right?"

Xiao Yat searched as he looked up at the night sky. But I saw a big bird hurrying across the sky and making a strange cry.

"Of course one can handle it, but hundreds of them are dispatched at the same time, do you think we can still handle it? And the white-eyed ghost owl is the best at flying at night, once it takes off, we estimate that we will only have a dead end. ”

"These rats are pitiful. Coming out to forage for food actually has to alarm hundreds of ghost owls, and it seems that we can only kill them on the ground. ”

Xiao Yi lowered his head and searched carefully in the forest, and his ears were also listening carefully for any subtle sounds in the bushes.

"Tens of thousands of them rushed out together, and the number of them made up for the lack of ability. When are they pitiful? If we do, we should be pitied!"

Xiao Yi looked at Chai Xingrong who stopped, and his brows furrowed tightly. Tens of thousands, this is indeed a bit stressful to dodge.

"It can't be said that there are tens of thousands, and when they catch up with the breeding period of their population, they may be able to reach more than 100,000. ”

Xiao Yi imagined 100,000 rats running towards him, and the hairs on his back stood up.

"Are there any characteristics of the way they attack?"

"The foundation building period is fast, and occasionally some low-level spells will be cast in the Dan period. Because they have low intelligence, these are instantaneous abilities. ”

"What spells are there?" Xiao Yichuan asked.

"Fire Bombs, Black Water Arrows, and their claws and teeth have Alchemy attached to them. If you don't pay attention to protection, you will be bitten off your bones in an instant. In fact, these are still easy to defend, the most terrible thing is that these rats themselves will secrete hallucinatory dew, once their saliva touches the wound, then there will be a state of stiffness, and the whole person will fall into the illusion. Occasionally, if you catch two and extract the illusion lotion into the drug, you can still sell it, but if you encounter a swarm of rats when you catch it, then you will take your life. The worst thing is that these rats are born with this kind of hallucination, so it is particularly troublesome to deal with. ”

Xiao Yi nodded understandingly. A large number of rats poured in, and if they wanted not to be injured by the sneak attack, then they had to protect their bodies with spiritual power. In the past few days, Xiao Yi has absorbed the immortal spiritual power between heaven and earth, and feels that the use of spiritual power is no different from that of the nether realm, but it is more pure.

Now that Xiao Yi has used his immortal power to form a shield, it is estimated that he can hold on for a day. However, if the opponent's attack intensity and attack frequency are too high, then the spiritual power shield will not last long.

"Everyone, be careful! There's a swarm of rats rushing past me. ”

The suburbs suddenly sent a reminder, and everyone hurriedly turned around and gathered towards his position.

"Shall we go back to the vicinity of the vehicle?"

Xiao Yi looked back at where the vehicle behind him should be, and couldn't help but be a little nervous about the safety of the shopkeeper of Hongyan Building.

"As long as we're not there, the rat swarm won't attack where the vehicle is. But if we fall, the vehicle will most likely be the only target for the rat swarm. ”

If it weren't for the purpose of attracting the rat swarm, Chu Lie would have the heart to take everyone to quickly choose a way to escape.

"Otherwise, let's take Qiao Daoyou and run together, as long as the speed is fast enough, we shouldn't be caught up by the rats, right?"

Xiao Yi looked at himself, then looked at the swaying dwarf trees in the forest in front of him, frowned and said softly.

"And Daoyou, you don't know, this RV itself is a magic weapon. Once Shopkeeper Joe activates the formation protection in it, then the mana input cannot be interrupted. So getting him out of the car, it's basically impossible. ”

"Why? Wouldn't it be nice to come out and go in again?"

Xiao Yi looked at Chu Lie puzzled, he couldn't understand why a magic weapon couldn't leave halfway.

"Because as soon as he gets out of the car, it's in danger. The refining existence behind Hongyan Tower will rush over as soon as possible. Those of us who are dead are not worth alarming the Void Cultivator once, so even if we die in battle, we don't expect Shopkeeper Qiao to get out of the car. ”

Sure enough, it's not enough for yourself!

Xiao Yi's face froze, and then he said in a loud voice: "Two more groups of rats are gathering towards us from the left and right directions. Watch out, everyone!"

Chu Lie's nervous nerves were disturbed by Xiao Yi's transmission, and he just wanted to blame him for being sensational. Unexpectedly, I soon noticed the sound of rope coming from the left and right directions.

"Oh no! Looks like these guys are here for purpose. Stay on your way!

Xiao Yi's heart was cold, and he found that there were almost 100,000 of these three groups of rats. If the four of them are surrounded by them, then it is very likely that it will be a dead end.

"No! we can't handle that. Some of it has to be sucked away!"

Before the three of them understood what Xiao Yi was talking about, they saw two white tigers appear in front of him.

"Zhanyun, you rush out! don't run too fast to lure these guys away. ”

The war clouds let out a roar, and they sped away quickly in their respective directions.

"White Tiger! No, and Daoyou! You're ...... Previously, it was Xuanwu and Qinglong, and now it is White Tiger...... Who the hell are you, the Lord of the Immortal Realm?"

Jiao Meng was completely stunned by the means shown by Xiao Yi. But without waiting for the other two to exclaim, Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "These two are cloud cats, not white tigers. It's just a little bigger. They're just stand-ins for spell condensation, so they don't hurt even if they fall. These cloud cats are incredibly fast, so it's perfect to use them to attract rats. ”

Everyone nodded, but Chai Xingrong suddenly asked: "You say they are cats? Big cats? Wait a minute, shouldn't they swallow the rats?......?"

Xiao Yi looked at Chai Xingrong, who was full of brains, and smiled helplessly: "It should be...... No...... No...... Yes......"

Two black shadows jumped out of the low trees in front of him, and the shield that had just hit Chu Lie turned into two pools of blood. Before everyone could cheer, more than a dozen black shadows rushed out.

"You take care of yourself here! Let's go up and help!"

For a while, the two of them were on Chu Lie's left and right, and a pale golden spiritual power shield lit up in front of them. Xiao Yi had just summoned the Aoki Fire Thunder Sword in his hand, and Jingyan's indignant voice came from his mind.

"It's disgusting! If you let me fight mice, believe it or not, I won't come out to help you resist the catastrophe in the future?

Xiao Yi was almost so angry when he heard this. Why does a blade still pick prey? Where are these rats disgusting? When Jingyan stuck her hand in someone's stomach, I didn't see her feel any discomfort! Could it be that she wanted to solve these guys in front of her with her bare hands?

Unarmed?

Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly put away the Aoki Fire Thunder Sword, clapped his hands together, and slowly recited the mantra, but seeing that his hands were divided, a white spiritual power chain appeared.

"There are thousands of demons!

With a loud shout, the spiritual power chain in Xiao Yi's hand split into two and extended forward. In the blink of an eye, with Xiao Yi as the center, a large chain array with a diameter of more than ten zhang was quickly formed.

This large array is divided into two layers, inside and outside, and is a simplified version of the Bagua Demon Slaying Array. The two chains move up and down, but any rat that passes through it is cut off from it.

The occasional squirrel that jumped over the chain and rushed over it also crashed into the trio's shield, whimpering with a whimper. With the help of these light arrays, the three of them felt much less stressed. Now they just don't know how long Xiao Yi's light array can last. If we can hold out until dawn, then the crisis can be considered to be over.

Although Xiao Yi's face was calm, the consumption of this method was still a little unbearable.

"This and so-and-so won't last long. A few fellow Daoists, let's see if there are any means to quickly display them!"

Chu Lie took out the nine crescent-shaped flying knives, and with a wave of his hand, the nine flying knives began to rotate incessantly. They rushed into the swarm of rats and quickly strangled the low-level rats.

He took out a giant bow, drew the bowstring, and quickly condensed an arrow made of red spiritual power.

As soon as he let go, the red spiritual arrow rushed out of a ravine in the mouse. Before the ravine could close, a second arrow shot out again......

Chai Xingrong didn't attack the rats, she just summoned a silver silk soft whip and quickly swung it above her head, and gradually the silver whip was danced into a huge cone, wrapping the four of them.

"Hedaoyou, you take back the spell first. Chai's silver-leaf willow silk whip can last for half an hour. Daoyou can replenish the consumption now, and wait to replace Chai. ”

Xiao Yi nodded when he heard this, and just after he withdrew the light array, the rats rushed up towards the silver whip cone.

At first, the rat swarm that Xiao Yi saw was still some distance away, so it didn't feel so obvious.

Unexpectedly, now the rat colony was strangled in front of it and quickly piled up into a thick layer. Countless pieces of flesh fell from the top of their heads, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.

"The wind rises from all sides!"

Jiao Meng pinched the trick with one hand and slapped it to the ground with one palm. Immediately, the falling flesh was blown out from the center. It's just that the rat layer outside is too thick, so the minced meat here is not blown out, but forms a wall of meat.

"It's too passive! Stop! Let me come!"

Chu Lie took out a red wooden box, and when he opened it, a dark fiery red bead appeared in it.

"Eight Desolations and Hellfire!"

The dark red beads shot out black light, quickly shooting towards the surrounding walls of flesh. As soon as the black light came into contact, it began to emit black flames on the flesh wall. The burning did not scorch in the stench, and began to spread around.

Although the flames continued to spread outward, both the trees and the rats were burned. But as the flames grew farther and farther away, the black flames began to extinguish.
