Chapter 409: Deduction I
Near Songshan County, Feiqing Valley.
Andalo stood in the middle of the valley and looked up at the poisonous dragons that were circling and flying overhead. These filthy, stinking and slimy monsters, with their sharp fangs, roamed the air, delivering a deadly blow to any creature that tried to approach the heart of the valley.
Pulling at the edge of his hood, Andalo hid his face and horns in his robe again, and with a flip of his hand, he gently shot out a cloud of pitch-black demonic energy, which rolled and turned in mid-air, forming a magata-like object.
The magatama hovered in front of him, releasing a faint purple light that shone within a meter of his side.
Andalo then slowly continued to walk towards the center of the valley.
In the distance, the muffled roars of war beasts can be heard from time to time, and the wild laughter of the thorn demons can be heard.
"Why do we have to work hard here to guard the door, so that Miran and they can eat and drink on their own?"
Andalo heard the whispered complaints of the guards in front of him, and he remained silent, and in a low grumble, he passed through several layers of garrison in succession, and soon came to a small two-story building with lilac and blood-red symbols outlined on the walls.
"News from the Gate of Flesh is coming again. Dear Excellency Figoni, Andalo whispered in.
There was no response, and there was silence in the commander-in-chief's small building.
Andalo's heart sank, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Your Excellency Figony?" he greeted again. "Are you alright?"
There was still no sound coming from the small building.
Andalo's eyes became slightly solemn, and he slowly approached, slowly approaching step by step, his hand had silently pulled out the dagger outside his thigh.
Step by step, he approached the small building.
Boom.
He slammed the door open.
The bloody scene inside shook him, a demon king who was used to seeing cruel scenes.
His colleague, the Empire's Legion Commander, His Excellency Figoni, was now lying quietly in the middle of the hall, his chest and abdomen carefully torn open, and a strong man with a black cloak on his upper body was half-crouching in front of his corpse, holding Figoni's collection of Broken Words Demon Blade in his hand, fiddling with the internal organs of the corpse's abdomen.
Hearing the sound of the door being slammed open, the man slowly turned around, and his face was covered with a black cloth. Only a pair of reddish hideous demon eyes were exposed.
"Oh.... Here's another one. The man's voice was deep and magnetic, and there seemed to be something strange rippling in his words, completely enveloping the entire surrounding area of hundreds of meters.
Andalo's face froze for a moment, and with a sudden step under his feet, the ground exploded, and his whole body was full of demonic energy, and he turned around and fled towards the door behind him.
But just after escaping a few steps, a large hand suddenly reached out from the gate behind him, grabbed his hair, and pulled it back.
"No!!" Andalo's voice couldn't be heard at all. The whole person was dragged back in an instant.
Boom!
The door was closed, and there was a faint sound of flesh tearing inside the door, but there was no other sound.
................
Qiuyue County, Yin and Yang Division.
In the delicate pale yellow temple, as the sun sets, several middle-aged men and women wearing white feather crowns slowly walk on the stone pillar corridor where the sun shines obliquely.
The man who took the lead had a solemn face, his face was deeply wrinkled and furrowed, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
"There is news from the nearby Yin and Yang Division, so far, in the entire five nearby counties combined, there have been five commanders who have mysteriously disappeared, and there are at least three demon kings on the demon army's side, along with the collected divine weapons and demon blades, all of them have disappeared. Are the results of the detailed investigation out?" the man asked in a deep voice.
"Messenger, not yet. A middle-aged woman beside her whispered cautiously, "According to the normal situation, it takes at least seven days to give back a summary." ”
"It's too late. The man shook his head, "Five days, five days a cycle at least, we can't be affected by the previous rhythm of the current situation, the previous investigation has already mentioned, far away someone saw a black, specializing in sneak attack of the master of the army and the demon king in and out of the demon army position. The demon army within a certain range of him actually turned a blind eye to him. ”
"What the envoy is talking about, is it the mysterious man in black who is rumored to be the night demon?" The middle-aged woman is Zheng Qiuyue, the current director of Qiuyue County, but a while ago, a messenger was suddenly transferred to control all the intelligence resources and forces under her control.
"Daredevil.... This nickname is very appropriate, this person is specifically looking for dark nights, and he must pay attention to precautions. The envoy thought for a moment, "When the next summary report comes, I will gather information and send it to the top." What kind of attitude should be taken to deal with this night demon, there should be a decision from above. ”
"The messenger bothered. But what is our specific attitude towards the night demon...?" Zheng Qiuyue asked suspiciously.
"Leave him alone for now, we don't have such a lot of power to interfere, as long as he doesn't affect our fight against the demon army. The messenger sighed.
He didn't know who this mysterious night demon was, but judging from the previous situation, the night demon did not specifically target the imperial army.
"But..."
"Look again.... By the way, my kid has been traveling lately...."The messenger changed the subject, apparently not wanting to talk about it again.
Director Zheng Qiuyue understood.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, no matter how big the threat of this black-clothed night demon is, the scourge is all the commanders of the three sects outside the army, and they are all the families and family clans of small families.
Coupled with the strength and mystery of the man in black, the envoy didn't want to touch this minefield at all. Most of the thoughts in my heart are dragging on, let's drag it first, see if there will be any change in the future, and wait for him to stop on his own.
It's just that Zheng Qiuyue has some ominous premonitions in her heart, and the man in black is afraid that he is unlikely to stop.....
**************
Burst!
Lu Sheng completely decapitated the monster in front of him with a sword, and the black horned head rolled and flew out, rolled on the ground a few times, and fell into a depression composed of blood and water.
He gathered his sword and looked around, and the ground was full of the corpses and bones of the demon army.
At noon, the sun was shining, and the ground rose with a strong smell of blood, combined with the unique toxin stench of the demons, so that there were no mosquitoes and reptiles within dozens of meters around this land.
In the past two months, with the help of the intelligence of the Thousand Yang Sect, he has hunted for divine weapons and demon blades everywhere, whether it is a demon race, a human race, or a demon race, as long as there is a place of divine weapons, he will use his own means to snatch them one by one. If you encounter an obstructor, you will be killed at will.
He has a cathode state to hide his aura, and ordinary commanders cannot detect his whereabouts at all. No one could have imagined that a dignified holy lord would be willing to surrender his identity and do this kind of murderous and oversold thing of robbing divine soldiers.
Lu Sheng also devoured all the way because of this, and got more and more spiritual power, and finally broke through 30,000 points.
However, what surprised him a little was that the Divine Soldier Demon Blade he obtained later contained more or less spiritual power. There are two or three thousand units, four or five thousand units, and even only a few hundred units.
The gap is huge, and Lu Sheng guessed that it should be the existence time of the major gods, which is related to the size of their reputation.
Slowly shook off the blood on the sword, and the flesh and blood of the monster corpses around it were quickly melted and decomposed by bursts of golden flames, turning into black gas and dissipating in midair.
Lu Sheng looked around, made sure that there was no breath of living creatures, and was about to take off into the air and continue on his way.
He had only returned from a demon army position this time, and had hunted an old-fashioned dagger with a magic blade. I was about to return to Akizuki-gun.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of breaking the air in the distance, and it hurried over.
In mid-air, a blue-green figure flew over with a cloud of white gas and smoke, hovering directly in front of the clearing.
"Brother Green, why are you the only one?" This man is about thirty or forty years old, with a different color on his face, wearing a gossip gold-rimmed green robe, and a snow-white whisk on his hands, looking like a master of Taoism.
Lu Sheng didn't reply, he vaguely remembered that among the demon army that he had just encountered and slaughtered, one of the demon kings who took the lead was called Lord Green.
And the man in front of him...
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he had mistaken him for the connector of the Demon Army.
"Did you bring anything?" the man asked hurriedly without waiting for Lu Sheng to reply. "Are you coming here alone?" The difference is that the crane's eyes are much smarter, and they are much more condensed than the previous divine soldiers.
"Oh, the Jade Star Divine Soldier?" Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, this was the first time he had encountered a Jade Star level Divine Soldier since he was hunting.
The rank of the divine soldiers does not affect the strength of the commanders, they only determine the potential of the commanders.
That is to say, even if a commander obtains a divine weapon at the level of divine wisdom, his strength cannot surpass that of an ordinary commander of the army, and the strength of this level competes with the control and use of the core method of the divine soldier. Even if there is a big difference in the power of the divine soldiers, the gap between the commanders and envoys is at most one or two times. Won't pull away too much.
Just like a bucket of water and you use a small pipe to release water, and a pool of water, you use a small pipe to release water, at most the water pressure causes a little difference in the flow rate, but in fact, the difference in water output is not large.
Lu Sheng carefully looked at the dust in the hand of the person in front of him.
"What did I ask you about?!" Seeing that Lu Sheng did not react, this person suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Those who communicate with foreign enemies, die!" Lu Sheng's sword flashed.
A silver pi lian rose from his hand, and the pi lian was faintly tattooed with the outline pattern of eight eagle lion beasts, and he roared in front of the Taoist in a blink of an eye.
"Forget to sweep!" The Taoist man's face froze, and before he could make contact, he felt like a huge wave and a mountain crushing down in all directions. Hurriedly waved the dust, attacked as defense, and protected the whole body.
Facing a mere more than ten meters long training actually gave him the illusion of facing a tsunami of deep sea waves.
The shadow of the sword light enveloped him in it.
The dust suddenly came into contact with the silver sword light, but suddenly let out a wail, and then a huge force crashed into the dust, crashing it back and falling on the Daoist's own chest.
Rumble!
He exploded like a balloon of real air, and bursts of turquoise mist flew around him. In the middle of his chest, there was a huge blood hole out of thin air.
The Taoist lowered his head in a daze, looking at the injury on his chest, in the blood hole in his chest, a faint golden flame was burning slowly and silently.
At this moment, he thought of a lot, a Taoist has done countless things in the eyes of outsiders in his life, lawless, he has had the ambition of heaven since he was a child, plus he is extraordinary, born smart, and began to influence the direction of family development very early. For the development of the family, he has done countless negative things in his life, but here and now, what he misses most is the young son who is not a member of the family....
"I'm gone.... What should he do?" the last thought flashed through the Dao's heart.
Rumble!!!
His entire body exploded, turning into a golden flame that burned to ashes in just a few breaths.
The golden flame shrank rapidly, and then quickly returned to Lu Sheng's hand, disappearing into his skin.
The whisk fell to the ground, and with a move by Lu Sheng, it flew into the air and fell into his palm.
