Chapter 168: Bait
The mist suddenly became much thicker than before, and the aura fluctuations became particularly intense, even faintly giving people a sense of oppression.
"Listen to the frost!" Bai Qi shouted, carrying a long knife and breaking straight into the formation.
After the two of them joined forces, it was obviously much stronger than Ling Zi fighting alone, and that gray mist quickly couldn't withstand such a fierce attack, and finally completely dissipated under Bai Qiqi's sword swallowing the bull.
After this fierce battle, several people who were called to observe had different faces.
It would be nice to be able to deal with this strange gray mist, but it was actually premised on the sacrifice of the disciple as bait. It's a bit too much.
Mu Xici was not interested in guessing everyone's thoughts, she thoughtfully left a pile of talisman paper for Li Tianxing, and asked him to be careful not to act rashly as the disciples of Sanqing Pavilion. After that, he casually made an excuse to observe and went north alone.
Because of this chaotic barrier, the forest shrouded in mist was not easy to walk, and the visibility was more than a little low.
Those who are in it will even be affected by the judgment of their consciousness to some extent. It's like a person finding his way in a vast fog where no one is seen three feet away.
It's hard to walk.
Fortunately, that strange fog doesn't climb trees, so Mu Xici, who shuttles between the branches, doesn't have to worry about crashing directly into the stomach of the fog.
After walking for half a moment, she suddenly stood on her tiptoes and stopped on an ancient tree that was not very tall.
There was a strange aura fluctuation nearby, like the mist she had seen before. Squatting down, she gently brushed away the leaves in front of her with her hands.
From the gap, there was a gray mist not far from the tree.
The gray mist was hazy and the color was still very thin. There was no disciple's face on it, and it was estimated that he had not swallowed any disciple yet.
After observing it carefully, she thought about it and took Xiao Yan out of the spirit beast bag apologetically.
"The hosts. ”
"Well, Xiao Yan is good. You are much more obedient than Xiaoice, so can you go and help the master do something?" Mu Xici blinked, did not wait for Xiao Yan to answer, and threw the little red fish in his hand towards the mist with a sharp movement.
"Gah?" Xiao Yan was sleeping dimly. In a daze, it only had time to spit out a bubble before it noticed that its little tail had drawn a beautiful parabola in the air, and landed on something that seemed familiar and strange to it.
Just a few inches away from the fog. A long whip steadied itself around its body.
Mu Xici squatting on the branches. At this time, he was using the fire whip as a fishing rod and wrapped Xiao Yan as bait. Watching the little red chubby fish hanging in the air by the long whip, her mood finally improved.
"Master......" Xiao Yan pitifully spit out another bubble and whispered below.
She really didn't do this because Xiao Yan said bad things about her to the little fox, okay?
She's a principled person!
"Xiao Yan is good. Don't move. It's going to be good right away. ”
Xiao Yan, who was used as bait, only shook it twice. There was still some distance of gray fog drifting straight down the road.
No wonder they wanted to listen to the frost before, and they wanted to use the disciples of the Spirit Heart Pavilion as their eyes. A formation was laid out next to it. The trajectory of this fog is always moving left and right, and there is really no rule to follow. But if there is a target, it is really clear at once.
Mu Xici immediately separated his divine sense. Outflank this gray mist from the left and right. Although she was affected by the evil qi, such a close distance was enough for her to distinguish one from the other.
After a check, she was even more determined in her thoughts.
The mist is not a living creature, but it is a living being. This pet, affectionately called 'Little Ash' by Master Yuanying, only had the cultivation of the Qi cultivation period before he devoured people. At least judging by the aura fluctuations.
But once it swallows someone, its cultivation will surge as soon as possible.
No wonder Tingshuang and Ling Zi were so confident, but they were extremely difficult to deal with that little ash that swallowed three people. It was originally two against one, but it suddenly became two against three, and it is normal for this to suffer a loss.
"Master, something is wrong. Why does this thing look like it's trying to eat me?
Xiao Yan was originally following the long whip, and he was still a little dizzy after swaying. But the more and more exhaustive things made the scales on its body stand up, and its consciousness suddenly sobered up.
But in a few breaths, the gray mist was already about to stick to Xiao Yan. Mu Xici moved his wrist, stimulating the aura and letting the fire whip pull Xiao Yan slowly all the way to the north.
"Xiao Yan, don't be afraid, the master will come right away when he goes to do something. ”
"Master, master!" Xiao Yan struggled and wagged his tail, trying to change back to his original form. But as soon as he thought of the little fox's words before, he shrugged his head and spit out several bubbles in a row.
When did it ever stagger so much, it actually made people a loach. It's really a master who is not as good as a master, what is this called?
Mu Xici didn't know how Xiao Yan complained about her in her heart, she was now a few feet away, and she was busy waving without a book.
She couldn't set up a formation like Tingshuang, and she didn't have time to set up a soul detention array, but she could use the talisman seal to make a temporary trap with her mobility.
After neatly placing the talisman, she looked up and saw a small red ball being dragged in this direction by a long whip.
With the extension of his right hand, the Huoying whip seemed to be conscious, and he sped up and returned to Mu Xici's side, throwing Xiao Yan away and wrapping it around her arm.
"Xiao Yan is really good, we'll come and see this strange thing later. ”
Firmly catching Xiao Yan, Mu Xi took a few steps back, and after seeing the mist entering the formation, he turned around and swept towards the north.
"Master, what is that thing? It feels weird. ”
"That thing ......" Mu Xi's body did not stop, but his voice paused for a long time before appearing: "It's called Little Gray ......"
The little red fish who was staying in his arms struck a thrill after hearing this: "Master, that's your new pet?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have that scary pet. ”
Lingqi gave Mu Xiqi ten out of ten steps, and soon she saw the boundary of the chaotic enchantment.
One turned and climbed to the top of the tree, and Mu Xi stood on the trunk of a tree that was considered to be particularly leafy, his five fingers bent, and he tapped the bone bracelet with his hand joints.
Under the shroud of the barrier, the area is chaotic, with neither wind nor rain. She was standing at the top of the tree now, and she should have a very wide field of vision, but she couldn't even see the scene ten feet away.
And the border that stood in front of her was as strange as the fog. Master Yuanying said that this was his sub-void realm, which sounded like a magic weapon.
But the so-called enchantment in front of him did not look like it had a physical appearance, but like a pile of gas pressed together, condensed into a solid form. It's really weird.
What happens if you hit a border?
Thinking so, Mu Xici leaned down and forcibly broke a fork of the tree, and threw the branch directly over without using aura.
"Master?" Xiao Yan shrank in Mu Xici's arms, watching the branch flutter lightly, but after touching the black border, it disappeared all at once.
"Shhhh Mu Xici made a silent gesture and continued to tap the bone bracelet with his hand.
It wasn't until she struck the fiftieth time that a faint sound seemed to come from outside the barrier. Because the voice was so quiet, Mu Xici could barely hear what the voice was saying.
But her heart suddenly settled.
The spirit of the flower tree is outside the barrier, which means that He Juan should also be outside.
Fortunately, He Fatniu was not involved. In case something really happens, Master, they can't rush to help, and they can save one by one.
"Xiaoice come out. ”
Mu Xici shook the spirit beast bag, and a cute puppy covered in blue fluff stood beside her with wet eyes.
"Master, why did you let me out? You let out all the little butterflies, but you won't let me out. ”
"Where is the little butterfly?" Xiao Yan spat out a bubble, flew to Xiaoice's side with a red body and turned around strangely.
Stroking his forehead with a headache, Mu Xici explained: "Xiao Yan is a fish, not a little butterfly. You just said you could get rid of that gray fog? Did the little fox tell you something?"
"But the fox fairy told me that the red ones are the little butterflies that can fly. After muttering aggrievedly twice, Xiaoice highly summarized the action of how to eliminate the black fog in just one sentence.
This sentence made Mu Xici's face black again.
She knew what Xiaoice could think of. In addition to eating?
After passing through the tarantula and the remnant wolf king, she had already tacitly acquiesced to Xiaoice's eating monster beasts. But she still didn't dare to let Xiaoice take the risk to eat the mist.
Xiaoice didn't know that the fog could swallow people, and it was not sure who would eat whom at that time.
"Since Lord Fox Fairy said so, it must not be wrong!" Xiao Yan held up his red little belly, wagged his tail, and immediately echoed and expressed his position.
It's a pity that Mu Xici didn't pay attention to it at all, and threw it back into the spirit beast bag without saying a word.
"Do you know what that is, and you dare to eat it?"
"I don't know, but I think it's okay to eat. ”
"What if it doesn't work?" "Master, you have to believe me. ”
One man and one beast fought for a while, and finally Mu Xiqi was defeated again under Xiaoice's cute attack. Of course, her current combat ability is not even as good as Ling Zi. She really couldn't have a better way.
As long as Xiaoice doesn't have a bad stomach, it is of course best if it can destroy this thing, and if it can't, she can escape with Xiaoice. is the so-called thirty-six strategies, and it is the best policy.
Thinking so, Mu Xici hugged Xiaoice and ran towards the place where the gray mist was before.
When Mu Xici arrived, the rune array formed by the rune seal had already been destroyed. The gray mist was drifting not far away.
In such a short period of time, even a disciple in the foundation building period may not be able to achieve such an attack. This inevitably made her hand holding Xiaoice a little tighter. (To be continued.) )
