East China Sea.

A rough sea, the sea surface seems to be enraged, constantly tumbling and stirring in the roar of the waves, setting off wave after wave of monstrous waves.

Black hurricanes swam all over the sea, condensing and dispersing, mingling with the raging waves and tsunamis.

The sound of the waves was deafening, as if the whole sky was about to collapse, and the momentum was amazing.

In the midst of the raging waves, a dark island stands firmly, even if the sea is thunderous.

The aura of heaven and earth in all directions seemed to be surging towards here under the action of some invisible force, faintly forming a huge aura vortex, like a huge funnel.

And this black island is the center of the aura funnel.

The entire body of the island emitted bursts of faint black light, and a large amount of heaven and earth aura followed the funnel and poured wildly into the black island.

If someone has extremely good eyesight, they can see that this black island is slowly expanding at an extremely slow speed with the influx of heaven and earth aura.

At this moment, around the island, there were densely packed figures, and it seemed that there were hundreds.

These figures looked similar to the Terrans, their bodies lit up with various colors, and they stood firmly above the sea, and the raging hurricane basically did not affect them.

Some people have some colorful scales on their bare skin, and some even look like half-human and half-fish, which is exactly what many people from the East China Sea tribe are.

The hundreds of people gathered around the black peak, chanting words in their mouths.

From time to time, various colors of light burst out of them, connecting together in mid-air, as if they were arranging a huge magic circle.

Near the black peak, a stunning girl in a water blue shirt with exquisite facial features was standing in the air. As she chanted a spell, a crystal blue light emanated from her, getting brighter and brighter, almost covering her figure.

This woman is none other than Xiangzhu.

At this time, behind her head, the seven-point star shadow loomed.

The blue light is getting brighter and brighter. Finally, with a bang, it rose into the sky, forming a pillar of blue light.

The light emitted from the nearby sea tribe also bloomed at the same time, and converged towards the incense beads.

A huge eggshell-shaped formation light curtain slowly formed, enveloping the black mountain peaks inside.

The aura of heaven and earth around the mountain peak suddenly shook, and the aura of heaven and earth that gathered was blocked by the light curtain and could not penetrate in.

Xiangzhu slowly opened her eyes, her face extremely pale. Seeing that the huge light curtain had been formed, a smile appeared on her face.

But at this moment, her body shook a little, as if she was about to fall.

At this moment, a ******** in a blue palace dress appeared beside her and reached out to support her body.

"Master. Xiangzhu screamed.

"Zhu'er, you're doing a good job, let's go down and rest first. After that, I'll need your help. The palace beauty said to Xiangzhu.

Xiangzhu nodded, and her body fell downward.

The palace beauties turned to look at the black peak. The figures behind him flashed, and there were seven or eight more people from the Sea Clan, all of whom were the elders and patriarchs of the East China Sea tribes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Maiden has already set up a great array of soul-suppressing spirits, separating the connection between the divine object and the outside world, so let's act according to the plan. The young woman in the palace costume said.

The others nodded. The figures flickered and scattered.

......

Half a month later.

In an inn room in Picheng.

Shi Mu was standing intently in front of the wooden table, with a faint golden light in his eyes, holding a wind attribute mid-rank spirit stone in his left hand and a magic pen made of green wood in his right hand. At a speed that couldn't be slower, on a blank piece of pale gold rune paper, he was engrossed in drawing a high-level talisman that he had just learned—the Wind Shadow Talisman.

The Wind Shadow Talisman is a high-level wind attribute talisman, and it is one of the few five-element talismans recorded in the "Dry Heaven Rune Sutra".

After using this talisman, it can use the power of the wind elemental to condense an illusion around itself that is exactly the same as the main body, so as to confuse the enemy's sight and sight, and at the same time, it can also greatly increase the user's action speed, increasing the chance of victory against the enemy, which is quite practical.

Speaking of which, this Wind Shadow Talisman is not the most powerful talisman in the "Dry Heaven Rune Sutra", some other five-element talismans, or Yin attribute curse talismans, are far more practical than it.

And the reason why Shi Mu chose to draw this talisman is actually because of his troubles.

Originally, at the beginning, he naturally wanted to try to draw high-level Yin attribute curse talismans, after all, the "Dry Heaven Rune Sutra" originated from the Stygian Moon Sect, and it was the best at Yin attribute spells, and most of the talismans recorded in the rune scripture were such talismans.

When he fought with Liu An's masked junior sister that day, he had suffered a loss from this kind of spell, so he was still very interested in this kind of spell.

As a result, what made him quite depressed was that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't condense this kind of Yin attribute rune in the white ape's mind through the moon-swallowing dream.

The first step is not possible, let alone the following.

After repeated attempts, he finally had to give up and devote himself to studying the Five Elements Talisman recorded in the "Dry Heaven Rune Sutra".

However, the high-level talismans are far more complicated than he imagined, with different requirements for magic pens, rune paper and even drawn magic ink, and even different talismans have all kinds of strange requirements or restrictions.

As a result, it took him a whole week, almost all over Picheng, and two underground trade fairs, before he could get all the materials for drawing the Wind Shadow Talisman, and spent a total of no less than two thousand spirit stones.

Even so, it's only enough to try a hundred times.

Since a Wind Shadow Rune is composed of a total of twenty-seven incomparably complex Wind Attribute Runes, the slightest mistake will fail, and the success rate is extremely low.

Even if Shi Mu had the help of Lingmu, he was scared for so many days, and after drawing more than ten times, he only succeeded in drawing two by luck.

"Knock! knock!" there was a knock on the door.

Shi Mu's pen trembled slightly, and with a soft sound of "poof", most of the rune paper that had been drawn instantly burned.

His face couldn't help but sink slightly, he casually put down the magic pen in his hand, turned around and walked to the door, and opened the door.

Outside the door was none other than Husayret.

At this moment, Hu Sailei's face was happy, and he was just about to say something, when he saw Shi Mu's expression at this time, his heart couldn't help but burst, and he immediately became cautious.

"Tell me what's the matter. Shi Mu asked.

Hu Sailei is a very clever person, good at observing words and feelings, these days he has been in the city to find out the news for him, there is nothing important, he will never dare to disturb Shi Mu's cultivation.

"Senior Mu, I just got the news that the envoy in charge of the preliminary selection of Picheng has arrived in the city, and now he is staying in the post station near Xicheng to rest. Hussele said.

"Oh, let's go check it out now. Shi Mu perked up, immediately walked out of the room, and locked the door casually.

Hussere's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly led the way in front.

After a while, the two came to a small post house.

To Shi Mu's surprise, there was a lot of noise in front of the post house at this moment, and there were already a lot of people gathered, and it seemed that all of them were disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect.

Shi Mu stopped without saying a word, paying attention to the discussion of the people around him.

"Tsk, it seems that this messenger is a little different from the past. ”

"Well, it's not the same. Even Senior Li just wanted to go to the meeting, but he was also taken aback. That's a figure with a head and a face in our Picheng branch, and he doesn't give him any face. ”

"I heard that this envoy had quietly entered the city last night in disguise as a merchant. ”

......

Shi Mu listened for a moment, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded in his heart, this new envoy from the General Altar was reluctant to see outsiders.

After muttering in place for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the side of the inn, and Hussele saw this and hurriedly followed.

After a short time, the two of them seemed to be wandering, unhurriedly walked around the outside of the post house, and returned to the original place again.

Shi Mu glanced at the only three-story attic in the inn, turned around and walked towards the inn.

That same evening.

The moon in the sky is like a mirror, and the sky is full of stars.

Shi Mu and Hu Sailei, dressed in night clothes, reappeared outside the side wall of the post house.

It's a remote place and it's not guarded.

Shi Mu stood still, and after listening for a while, he made sure that there was nothing unusual in the post house.

He grabbed Hussere, and at the same time quickly chanted a spell in his mouth, and soon a large white cloud appeared at the feet of the two of them, and slowly flew towards the three-story attic.

Qi Cloud Technique can also lead people, but it will greatly increase mana consumption.

Hu Sailei stood on the qi cloud and looked left and right, his face was a little excited, there were very few flying spells, so there were very few star-level warlocks who could fly in the air, and as a spirit-level warlock, he naturally had never experienced it.

Soon, the two came to the sky above the three-story attic, and the air cloud quickly fell, and the two quickly stood on the roof of the attic.

At this time, in the entire attic, only the hall on the third floor was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of conversation.

Shi Mu carefully moved to a suitable position, gently removed a roof tile, and quickly swept his gaze towards the hall.

There were two people sitting in the hall, a gray-clothed man with a thin figure and about forty years old, and a white-faced middle-aged man, who was the deacon of the Picheng Stygian Moon Sect Altar.

Judging from the hidden mana fluctuations on the gray-clothed man, this person is also a star-rank warlock.

The two appear to be discussing the primary.

After listening on the roof for a while, Shi Mu finally confirmed that this person was the messenger sent by the Stygian Moon Sect's main altar.

To his surprise, Deacon Quan turned out to be the junior brother of the gray-clothed middle-aged man.

Just as he was about to wait for the two to end their conversation, Deacon Quan's voice came again.

"Senior Brother Li, I just got an important piece of information in Xia, I wonder if you are interested?" Deacon Quan suddenly whispered.

"What information?" asked the middle-aged man in gray.

Deacon Quan didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously at the gray-clothed middle-aged man, took out a white jade slip from his arms, and with a flick of his hand, a white light shot out of it. (To be continued.) )
