Chapter 273: Doomed Doom III
The Stone Pillar of the Yuan Demon Sect.
On the square around the stone pillar, groups of Yuan Demon Sect disciples shouted and exercised their bodies, preparing for the cultivation of the Causeless Gong to absorb the demonic qi.
The stone pillars glittering with blood-colored symbols stood silently, motionless, as they had remained for hundreds of millennia.
But no one noticed that in the part of the stone pillar that went deep into the surface, where there was no light in the pitch black, a trace of cracks slowly spread like a spider's web.
The crack stretched to the bottom, in the small stone chamber that was closed in secrecy.
In the stone chamber, there was a huge black cauldron in the middle, and countless black gases spread around it, almost completely covering the entire stone chamber floor.
The cracks spread from the bottom of the cauldron to the walls on both sides, and from the walls to the stone pillars. The bottom of the stone pillar is actually connected to this stone chamber. The red light of the blood-colored symbol, like a vein of blood vessels, has been connected to the bottom of the cauldron.
It's just that in places that the human eye can't see, the red light has become fainter and fainter, and in its place, there are countless gray misty clouds.
...............
Thousand Sails City.
Inside a large fortress on the outskirts.
This is the military fort where the imperial court stationed the Shenwu Army, as the Shenwu Army stationed in Qianfan City to protect the safety of the surrounding nine cities, it is not only the largest garrison, but also the largest prison in the vicinity where the largest number of prisoners are held.
The black city wall with a height of more than ten meters encloses a large circle, enclosing the center into a ring.
Inside the ring are densely packed and orderly gray-black bungalows, and many criminals wearing uniform prison uniforms wander around.
The prisoners looked glazed, had strange eyes, and muttered from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about. Some of them wandered alone, and some of them gathered together in groups of three or five, standing in one place with blank faces. There are also lost souls squatting in the corner of the wall and doing nothing, just in a daze.
None of these prisoners had shackles on them, and there was only an invisible transparent barrier above the entire prison.
Huang Fu, accompanied by the prison warden and several officials, walked up to the city wall and looked around.
"How long has this been happening?" he frowned.
The warden pinched his handkerchief and wiped his sweat constantly.
"Already.... It's been more than half a month..."
"There are more than 200 special prisoners in total, all of them are like this?" Huang Fu asked again.
"Yes...."The warden lowered his head, not daring to lift it.
"Such a big plague, such a big contagion, you actually found out in half a month?" Huang Fu is a little angry, even if the Huang family is behind the imperial court, but in the White Bell City of Qianfan City near here, he still has more power to speak in the West Pole Academy. But now that there is such a big basket, the prison director actually found out and reported it more than half a month later.
"This... Also please.. Please also calm your anger, we actually have a reason, this infectious disease is difficult to detect, the patient just looks uncomfortable on the outside, and it is not possible to judge whether the other party is sick or not in the first place..."The prison warden explained helplessly.
Huang Fu exhaled.
He could see that these people looked the same as the previous serial murder case, their eyes were blank and unfocused, they looked like paralyzed fools, but they could move at will, if he guessed correctly, these people were very likely to have heart problems like the murderer.
"What about the other ordinary prison wards?" asked Huang Fu casually.
"The normal prison area is fine, only a small number of infections were infected, and we were quickly quarantined in time. The warden hurriedly replied.
Huang Fu shook his head slightly. At this time, Bai Xiu, who went to check the situation alone, also came back, and quickly walked up the city wall from behind and walked towards him.
Huang Fu looked at him, but saw Bai Xiu shaking his head at him in disappointment.
"Exactly the same?" he asked.
"It's exactly the same. Bai Xiu sighed.
"Go down first, and we'll call you again if there's something to do." Huang Fu waved back the officials around him.
A group of officials hurriedly retired, all of them were so nervous that they were sweating profusely, obviously the weather had turned cold, which showed how nervous everyone was.
When everyone left, Huang Fu sighed.
"The situation is very serious, and there are thousands of people here and in front of them, who are crazy and bite and beat people when they see them, and they are extremely contagious, and they are almost infected when they touch them. ”
Bai Xiu nodded. "My men tried to investigate, and found that all those who have lost their minds have their hearts quickly dissolved, and finally they are in a state of unintentionality. If this development continues, if I can't find the source again, I'm ready to apply for the transfer of the Four Lives Army. ”
The Four Lives Army is a large-scale force that maintains the security of this region and represents the school. They are the strongest armies of the four schools, and the generals of each army are concurrently served by the leaders of the schools, and some of the deputy generals are the chief and some are the deputy leaders.
And Bai Xiu, who is the deputy general of the Yanyun Army of Wanshun Palace, is qualified to mobilize the army.
"No, the Four Lives Army must not be moved lightly, especially in this critical period...."Huang Fu rejected Bai Xiu's proposal, "I have already set up a special investigation team to track and investigate the clues, wait a few more days to see, and by the way, it depends on the meaning of the courtyard master." Now that the small alliance is imminent, there must be no chaos. ”
"I see what you mean. Bai Xiu nodded in response.
"Let's wait a little longer.... Wait and see.... Waiting for the news of the Flying Feather Sect..."Huang Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and pondered. Suddenly, an inconspicuous rumor that he had heard before surged into his heart inexplicably.
"Could it be that all this is caused by the legendary monsters? No, without the Gate of Flesh and Blood, it is impossible for a monster to enter without being detected.
And the demon clan has been blockaded, and it is impossible to leak out. So.... Is it possible to be a seal?"
One by one, the seals flashed in his mind, and soon a place that was very likely to go wrong surfaced in his mind.
Ten thousand caves!
"There are still more than ten days before the first month of searching, and before the small alliance starts, let's go and investigate first. Huang Fu secretly decided.
"By the way, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, right?" Bai Xiu diverted the topic, "I didn't have a place in the afternoon, so I just went to your house for a meal, I haven't eaten my sister-in-law's food for a long time." ”
"Didn't you just eat it yesterday?" Huang Fu said speechlessly.
"That's all in the past, yesterday was yesterday, why don't you eat all of today's food yesterday in one go?" Bai Xiu said bluntly.
"Okay, okay, you kid!" Huang Fu was helpless. Thinking of his wife Rong'er, who was seven months pregnant and insisted on cooking by herself, the original anxiety in his heart quickly calmed down, and a trace of tenderness slowly appeared on his face.
************************
Hiss....
The turquoise flame burned in Lu Sheng's palm.
On the edge of the small lake of Yin Poisonous Mist, he held the Yin Fire with one hand, and the nine Yin Demons around him turned into nine shadows of different shapes, frantically absorbing and devouring the river of poisonous mist below. Then it was transformed into a large amount of demonic qi pouring into the Yin Fire*** which burned.
"It's a little more reassuring to come back here and not be disturbed. Lu Sheng released the Yin Demon and also had the meaning of defending himself.
Even if the Nine Great Yin Demons don't move, the various negative force fields emitted from their bodies can make it impossible for slightly weaker creatures to get close.
Since the Three Yin Technique was improved once, after the flames were strengthened, the Yuan Demon Qi obtained by burning the Demon Qi became less and less.
"If it was said that burning ten units of demonic qi before, you could get one unit of Yuan demonic qi, then now you can only get one unit of elemental demonic qi by burning fifteen units, which consumes a lot more. Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
"No matter, let's continue to improve first. He could clearly feel that his physical body was beginning to grow further again.
Continuously cultivating the demon body, Lu Sheng felt that he was at least several times stronger than before his cultivation, and he was able to get close to the holy soldiers, which meant that he had successfully entered the upper triple realm.
The rumored Upper Triple Snake level is barely qualified to become a soldier because it can withstand the radiation of the divine soldiers.
And now that he has full access to the Holy Soldier Fragments, he should have completely stepped into the upper threefold. Possess the qualifications to master the Holy Soldier.
Of course, this is just his guess. In fact, if the compatibility of the bloodline was counted, he would have already surpassed the strength of the upper triple physical body, but he didn't know it.
The other upper triumphs, whether they are families or schools, are all because of the high compatibility between the bloodline and the holy soldiers, so the radiation rejection is very weak, which can barely meet the standard.
In other words, the upper triple mastery of the holy soldiers of the family school is half pushed and half done by the holy soldiers.
And Lu Sheng, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, if you catch it, you will be hard!
The gap between half-push and half-push and hard.... How big it is, you can imagine.
In fact, Lu Sheng gathered all the demon bodies, and what he got was not the power of contact with the holy soldiers.... Rather, it is the power to suppress the fragments of the Holy Soldier.....
Lu Sheng came back to his senses and stared at the three-yin magic box on the dark blue modifier in front of him.
"Since it works, let's try to improve it. I'd like to see how far I can raise the Yin Fire with my Divine Power!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his Red Pole Nine Evil Skills, which were actually capable of burning invisible flames. It was a special aura ignited by the masculine internal qi.
"It's better to incorporate the properties of internal qi into it...."
While thinking so, he focused his attention on the three-yin method box.
'Unknown Secret Method: Fourth, Special Effects: Three Yin Fire, Flame Enhancement Level 1. ’
Consciousness quickly clicks on the button behind the box.
The parasitic power passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, twenty units were gone. The box quickly blurred, and after a few breaths, it was clear again.
'Unknown Secret Method: Fifth Level, Special Effects: Three Yin Fire, Flame Enhancement Level 2. ’
As soon as he ascended, Lu Sheng immediately felt that his whole body was like being in a furnace, extremely hot, and a large amount of demonic qi in his body was refined and burned again, transforming into a more refined and pitch-black powerful Yuan demonic qi. And the gap that appeared because of the burning refining was made up by the demonic qi that was constantly devoured and absorbed by the outside world.
In the river of poisonous mist, with Lu Sheng as the center, a slow whirlpool of small lakes emerged.
Several giant snakes timidly roamed around the periphery, roaring uneasily from time to time. Since they were torn apart by Lu Shenghuo last time, they have hid far away every time they saw Lu Sheng coming.
Originally, they thought that Lu Sheng would drink some water and leave every time, but they didn't expect that this trip was the same as the previous one, and they actually drank water until the lake water began to drop.
