Chapter 608: Revisiting the Demon Domain
The noonday sun slanted on Ye Shuo's face through the window frame.
Slowly opening the heavy eyelids, Ye Shuo was still at a loss at this time. It seemed like he had a dream just now, and it was a ...... A dream that makes you ashamed to talk about it!
While secretly scolding that he had also started to have spring dreams, Ye Shuo couldn't help but be a little surprised. As the plot in the dream gradually became clear, the heroine who spent the clouds and rain with him turned out to be Su Banxia!
What's going on? Could it be that he said that he wasn't interested in Su Banxia, but after all the months of getting along, he still had some strange feelings for her? And that dream was still so real...... Ye Shuo raised his palm irritably and knocked on the back of his neck, when did he become so fond of one?
"What happened, why am I here?" It took a while to recover from the shock of the dream, and Ye Shuo had time to look around. The unfamiliar environment and fragmentary memories made him trance-like again, "Also, what about Banxia?"
"You kid still know how to ask! If I hadn't ...... before" The first time to respond to him was naturally a god again. It's just that when he asked about Su Banxia, there was obviously a stiff pause in Shen Xinglie's voice, and then he hurriedly covered it up: "I mean, if I hadn't given you my spiritual power, would you be able to jump around so quickly now?"
"You gave me the spiritual power?" Ye Shuo knocked on the back of his neck again. He felt as if his head had been cut open by a sharp drill, and although it was barely put together, the slightest pain inside it still existed, as if he had been beaten by hundreds of people for a moment.
However, his spiritual consciousness that should have been hit hard has now recovered as before. If it is really a god who has distributed his spiritual power...... Then it's really generous.
"It should be Mu Hansha's kid who plotted against you this time, right?" Shen Xinglie spoke in his mind again, "How are you going to deal with him?"
“…… Let's owe it first. Ye Shuo sighed silently. Anyway, as early as when he learned about the advisor's blood feud, he had already recorded the heads of all the people in the Nine Shadows Palace, and none of them could escape!
"But speaking of which, where did Banxia go?" Ye Shuo lifted the quilt and walked hesitantly back and forth in the room, naturally noticing the spirit stone placed on the table, "This is...... Did she go back alone? Alas, I'm still hurting...... Is it really that unjust?"
……
Due to the unfamiliarity of the path, coupled with the fact that the mental damage had not yet fully recovered, Ye Shuo stopped and stopped all the way, and when he returned to the Fu Master Sect, it was already a month later.
The first thing, Ye Shuo naturally rushed to visit Su Banxia. But Kemei, who was in the same room, told him that just before he came back, Su Banxia seemed to have something at home, and had hurriedly packed up his things and left, and made a special trip to apply for withdrawal from the sect before leaving, which caused many male disciples to wail at that time.
Is there something going on at home? Is it her uncle's business? Is there something that she has to go back to? Ye Shuo hasn't come to his senses yet, but in the fluctuation of Shen Xinglie's soul, there has already been a more intense confusion.
"Why did she leave? She should stay and be your wife! This shouldn't be......"
"What kind of wife, what are you talking about?" After Shen Xinglie repeated these words several times, Ye Shuo finally couldn't help but interrupt it, "Shen Xinglie, are you hiding something from me?"
Shen Xinglie's laughter was a little stiff: "Hahaha, how could it be, I'm just regretting that you didn't soak the little beauty in your hands, and she left first." Ahem, now that the people are gone, I regret that I didn't listen to the old man before, right?"
Ye Shuo frowned, although he always felt that it was a little strange, but Su Banxia was not his own person, and he didn't seem to have the right to interfere with her going. Besides, since she chose not to say goodbye, it may mean that she also feels that she also feels that he doesn't need to know where she is going.
Even if he wasn't tempted at first, after having that dream, Su Banxia still occupied a different position in his heart after all. However, Kemei couldn't say why, and the few subsequent summons she sent were all lost, and Ye Shuo could only choose to give up in the end.
Maybe that's fine...... In his hometown of Yixi, there are still several girls waiting for him, and he really shouldn't have these messy thoughts anymore.
After Su Banxia left the Fu Master Sect, life was still going on as usual. And the level assessment they participated in a month ago, the other disciples had already obtained the certificates and badges issued by the Fu Master Guild, but Ye Shuo's side was still empty.
According to Mishen, the Fu Master Union issued a notice that some candidates could not get their certificates in time due to errors in the inclusion of some internal materials. According to this situation, he is the unlucky "part of the candidates".
In this regard, Ye Shuo didn't care too much. Anyway, the certificate is for employment, and the badge is for being handsome, and he doesn't care about either. In the following time, except for being sent to participate in a sect competition by Mishenkeng, and after having the same competition with Ming Jitong again, Ye Shuo concentrated on staying in his room and devoted himself to cultivation.
On this day, Mi Shen called him over again, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was going to refine a top-level spirit rune, and a piece of "Ice Crystal Spirit" was missing from the material. And this material is a specialty of the Vientiane Demon Domain. Therefore, in a nutshell, "Please go to the Vientiane Demon Domain and retrieve this ice crystal for me!"
In return, I will refine an identical rune and give it to you, which can be activated without much mental control. As if seeing that he wanted to refuse, he smiled cautiously and sly, and slowly proposed this quid pro quo.
“…… Master, it's really a waste of talent if you don't go to be a profiteer. Ye Shuo shook his head helplessly, "Before, you also used the Cloud Swallowing Level Secret Method to tempt me to participate in the Sect Competition, how long has it been?
Mi Shen deliberately turned his face blank: "How do you speak? Master has always spoken and counted, hasn't the Cloud Swallowing Level Secret Method been handed over to you?" So this spirit rune, you can wait with peace of mind." Besides, you're about to leave the Fu Master Gate, and you don't want to do the last thing for the master?"
Ye Shuo was stunned: "How does Master know ......?"
Mi Shen glanced at him proudly: "Of course I know, your kid's ambition has always been very high, and when he joined our small sect, it must have been to get some kind of amazing inheritance, and the inheritance power can only be activated through the ability of the talisman, right?
"And this rune...... Master made a special trip to refine it for me?" Ye Shuo's heart was hot.
But Mi Shen seemed to vow to maintain the image of a profiteer to the end, and soon broke his illusion with a smile: "Don't think about it so beautifully, although your master is a talisman master, he can be regarded as an amateur refiner, he just wants to continue to experience the fun of refining spiritual treasures." But if you want to say it's for you, it's not false - since you entered the Fu Master Gate, we haven't had a day of peace here, and I naturally want to send you away as soon as possible. ”
Although Mi Shen's words were ruthless, Ye Shuo also knew that this master was a knife-mouthed tofu heart. Besides, with the spirit rune, this trip to the Vientiane Demon Domain, he has also made up his mind!
That "Ice Crystal", according to Shen Xinglie, is something somewhat similar to the effect of the spirit stone. Holding it and practicing can effectively nourish the demon spirits in the body of the demon beasts. However, its popularity is obviously much lower, and it is usually only available to the Demon Domain royal family. As for the other low-ranking guards, only when they have done great things for the clan will they have the opportunity to receive a few rewards.
To obtain a large number of Ice Crystals, it is necessary to infiltrate the gathering place of the royal family. Ye Shuo sighed in his heart, this prudence was really "tireless", and at the same time, he used his spatial ability to carefully avoid the guards all the way.
This core area is really different from the Red Flame Forest, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, if it weren't for the fact that he had comprehended a higher level of spatial secret method in the Thousand Machines in advance, Ye Shuo really wouldn't have dared to break through so rashly.
But at the same time, he also noticed that the recent patrols were indeed too frequent, and the guards who changed shifts seemed to be a little tense when they met. Thinking of all kinds of rumors from the outside world, it seems that there are really going to be big changes in this demon domain.
In addition to his spatial abilities, Shen Xinglie also helped a lot. With its guidance, Ye Shuo avoided many key defensive areas, and now he was taking advantage of the gap between the two classes of guards to turn a small path and burrow into a dense forest.
This is still Shen Xinglie telling him that since he is coming to the Vientiane Demon Domain, it is better to take the "mahogany" with him. This material is the essence of each tree trunk, and it is somewhat similar to the Chiyan Ancient Species, but it is far less precious, and at the same time, it does not need to have any special demon bloodline.
To be honest, this mahogany itself is really mediocre. However, according to the records in the Thousand Machines Formula, after this material is combined with the two main materials of phoenix pattern blood crystal and purple gentian, a simple "lock demon array" can be arranged.
Once this array is activated, it can not only trap ordinary demon beasts for an hour, but also continuously weaken their demonic power. Especially in this secret infiltration, the benefits brought by this formation are self-evident.
The phoenix-patterned blood crystal and purple gentian are in his hands, and when he obtains the mahogany, he can also conduct the array experiment for the first time!
Ye Shuo, who was immersed in excitement and reverie, stopped under the sound of Shen Xinglie, and at this time, in front of him, there were thin red lines floating, and the fluctuation of demonic power was not obvious, but there was an ominous aura, which slowly emanated.
"That's a blood-sucking leech, they will appear randomly in the unpatrolled range of the demon domain, their own strength is not high, but the role of this kind of thing is equivalent to an alarm, once you attack, all the blood-sucking leeches will emit a special chirp, attracting the attention of the guards. If you don't want to take a detour...... Unless you can tackle them all at once. "God is doing its work of explanation with due diligence.
Ye Shuo naturally didn't want to make a detour, staring at the blood-sucking leeches floating in the sky and being silent for a moment, his body was divided into several ways, and he merged into the space one after another. Each decomposed spirit body also swirled in layers of fire waves at the same time, and the surging sea of fire in mid-air rushed straight to it, destroying all the blood-sucking leeches in an instant.
After the scattered figures recondensed for a while, Ye Shuo stood still, and behind him, there were bursts of gunsmoke that had been shattered in a large area.
Without looking back, Ye Shuo walked all the way and soon arrived in front of the first mahogany. Raising his hand and gently touching the trunk of the tree, gradually, his palm seemed to penetrate a layer of mist, straight into the trunk, and easily grasped a shimmering entity.
"Your spatial ability has reached this point now, and you can even penetrate a still life directly?" When the luminous body faded into a demonic form in Ye Shuo's palm and turned into a palm-sized scorched wood trunk, Shen Xinglie couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's a still life, but at the same time it's a still life that doesn't have any resistance. Ye Shuo smiled faintly, "This is all thanks to the Thousand Machines Technique, I think if this secret method is placed in the outside world, I am afraid it has already reached the level of a heaven-level secret method." ”
"That's nature, after all, it's the inheritance left by the powerhouse who transcends the reincarnation realm......" Shen Xinglie was speechless, "By the way, now that the main materials are complete, let's try the power of the Lock Demon Array!"
Needless to say, Ye Shuo had already separated the materials one by one on the ground. Except for the more precious main materials, the rest are some extremely common props, but it is with these most ordinary things that you can arrange a formation that is not inferior to others...... This way of life in nature is indeed broad and profound.
The first time the formation was arranged, Ye Shuo checked it several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he slowly transported his spiritual power and tried to cover the formation.
The flowing clear qi operated in an orderly manner, and when he swept past the three main materials, Ye Shuo could clearly see that inside them, there was a faint layer of brilliance quietly rising, blending with the spiritual power. It was the formation that was extracting their essence, and then through the energy in it, it was condensed into a key that penetrated the eye of the formation......
However, this also shows that each material is a consumable, and they can only support themselves a few times at most, and they must be updated.
It had only been about a few breaths before the golden formation had already taken shape. Ye Shuo's eyes also quickly crossed a trace of heat.
Half an hour later, there was a roar of demon beasts in this area, and the surrounding trees suddenly withered a large area. Other than that, it's business as usual.
Ye Shuo, who won the first battle, returned to the main road of the Demon Domain. quickly set up a formation, and hid in a jungle next to the road. Just as he wished, the patrolling guards stepped on the formation and fell into confinement, and the entire team was thrown into chaos when the golden barrier was erected.
Ye Shuo secretly snickered and was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as he took a step, the sudden outbreak of dispute behind him caught his attention.
"Gray Panther, what have you done!" These members of the escort team have all evolved to possess some human forms, which are obviously higher than the wandering lone demon beasts. However, they have not survived the Tribulation after all, so their demon form is still remarkable. At this time, a demon beast with a green scarf on its head and a snake-like face was pointing at another leopard-shaped demon beast and roaring angrily.
The leopard-shaped demon beast's temper seemed to be even hotter, and he drew his sword out of its sheath with a "swish": "Green snake, I still have to ask you what you did! I already knew that the old thief was restless, and the demon king hadn't come back for so long, so he couldn't sit still!"
