28. Innate Skills (3)
The cold young man didn't respond to Zhang Longqian's joke, just held her shoulder steadily, and then raised his gaze, and his dark eyes cast a gaze like ice on the humanoid monster.
Just by looking at it, the monster felt like he was in danger threatened by a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time, and he was like a prey that was tightly guarded by a predator, not daring to move a bit, not even daring to look away, as if as long as he moved, he would die on the spot immediately, so that he did not even dare to come out, only the fear in his heart was slowly spreading.
"Dragon Dive!"
An anxious voice suddenly came from the door, followed by Nangong Piao, who arrived later than Cang Yan for some reason, ignored the monster and ran past him, only glanced at Zhang Longqian, who was struggling to breathe, Nangong Piao raised his hand and released a light green light, and decisively began to use healing spells to heal her.
Startled by the sudden Nangong Piao, the monster immediately woke up from his silent fear, he subconsciously took a step back, only to find that he was drenched in a cold sweat at some point, and his breathing was like a nervous gasp, and even his heartbeat was so fast that he couldn't control it.
What's going on?
After cultivating for hundreds of years, why would he have such a fear of a human imp?
The incomprehensible monster frowned, but his pride quickly suppressed the incomprehensible fear, and let all his abnormal reactions gradually calm down, but saw Cang Yan hand over Zhang Longqian to Nangong Piao, and then got up alone and walked slowly over to this side.
The strange feeling just now left a shadow in the monster's heart, and at this moment, seeing Cang Yan approaching, his expression couldn't help but become serious, and he was secretly on guard.
Looking at the humanoid monster that didn't know the strength or weakness, Zhang Longqian didn't know if Cang Yan could get him, but thinking about the nephew who didn't even leave a little dust, just in case, she still reminded a little weakly: "Cang Yan, don't kill him, he is the only clue left." β
Cang Yan didn't make any response to Zhang Longqian's weak reminder, but Zhang Longqian, who was gradually familiar with his temperament, didn't pay much attention to it, just a cold and calm person like him, he could count what he said on one hand until now, and it would be really hellish if he would respond to her reminder.
But in the ears of that monster, this originally weak and powerless voice became full of certainty, in his opinion, this was not only contempt for him, but also Zhang Longqian's trust in Cang Yan and his powerful power.
This made the monster who was not sure how strong Cang Yan was subconsciously frowned, and his mentality became more solemn, thinking about it, after all, maintaining a human body would not only consume demon power but also reduce his own strength, it was far better to gather all the demon power and use his original body to be stronger, so he shook his body and revealed his original appearance.
The suddenly deformed monster is still a creature that Zhang Longqian does not know, tall size, forked giant horns, white short tail, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a stag of unknown breed, but its horns are not two, but four, and the hind feet are obviously different from the deer, unlike the hooves of any kind of deer, but like the hooves of horses, and the front two legs are even more exaggerated, not even like the hooves of any creature, but like human hands.
ββ¦β¦ What kind of monster is this? β
Hearing Zhang Longqian's muttering doubts, Nangong Piao glanced over there distractedly, but looked up and down in surprise, almost forgetting to withdraw his gaze from the monster.
"This ...... It's a baby baby! I've only seen it in textbooks.,It's a very old monster.,No one has seen it since hundreds of years ago.,Is there anything in the human world? β
Anyway, he could only reluctantly sit and let Nangong Piao heal his injuries, and Zhang Longqian, who had nothing to do, smiled and quipped: "Huh? Rare animals, huh? β
Seriously treating Zhang Longqian's back, Nangong Piao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If it's really an animal, of course it can be regarded as the word 'cherish', but it is a monster after all, so naturally the less the better." β
The powerful and perverted Cang Yan was in front, and the two people chatting here were completely stress-free, but the expression of the young man over there became more and more solemn.
For some reason, it just couldn't see through Cang Yan's strength, which made it feel a little bottomless. This human boy clearly exuded the aura of a mage, but it was different from the mages it had seen before, and there was a strange power in his body, faintly revealing a hint of danger.
What are his abilities? What is he relying on? Why can't I see through his depth at all?
After pondering but unable to get the result, Xiao Yingru couldn't help but think, maybe Cang Yan was just pretending to be mysterious, but it immediately denied it again.
There is no other reason than because of its intuition.
Youkai like Xiaoyingru, who have been cultivating for hundreds of years, trust their instincts, for them, this is not just instinct, but also a kind of information similar to "heavenly endowment", many youkai have relied on intuition to escape death, for them, it is impossible to ignore the intuition that conveys "danger" for no reason.
But it's not a way to keep doubting like this, what should I do? Attack? Could it be a trap?
Contradictory thoughts flashed in his mind, looking at Cang Yan who was approaching, Xiao Yingru, who couldn't figure out his details, finally made a decision.
"Little ghost, let me see your strength!"
With a cold drink, Xiao Yingru lowered his head slightly, and a dark red light suddenly lit up between the four corners, quickly forming a ball of light the size of a baby's head, and then quickly headed towards Cangyan.
Even after some distance, Zhang Longqian could feel the terrifying aura in the dark red ball of light, and he couldn't help but feel a little chilled, not to mention how Cang Yan felt as the target. But Cang Yan didn't seem to see the ball of light, and he still walked towards Xiao Yingru unhurriedly, and he was hit on the head by the ball of light coming in a straight line in an instant without dodging.
It was supposed to be like this.
In the blink of an eye, the dark red ball of light hit Cang Yan's head directly, but it stopped in front of his eyes incredibly, and then it was quickly covered by another color as if it had fallen into a dye vat, but in the blink of an eye, the dark red ball of light had already turned into a brilliant red.
Like a flame.
In the next moment, the small ball of fiery red light suddenly exploded, there was no sound, no dazzling light, it seemed to suddenly swell outward, and the target was obviously the young baby in front of it.
Seeing the fiery red approaching in front of him, the young baby naturally would not sit still, only to see it jump slightly, it was incredibly dodged the huge range of fiery red, and strangely appeared behind Cang Yan, but before it could stand firm, the fiery red that fluttered in the air suddenly shrank, turned into a foot-long bird, and pounced on the young infant with amazing agility.
Seeing this unfolding like magic, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but widen his eyes, for fear of missing a single bit.
For the gorgeous fiery red that Cang Yan can summon at her fingertips, she has never been sure whether this is a real flame, or just an appearance caused by spells, and even now, even if she can clearly see all the changes, she is just a layman with only a fake title of "loose cultivation", and she still doesn't understand it at all.
However, Xiao Yingru, who has hundreds of years of Taoism, saw through the body of Cang Yan's attacks at a glance.
"Fire? It's really strange that there are people among the mages who can directly manipulate the flames without relying on spells. β
Squinting his eyes as he spoke, the young baby raised his head and opened his mouth slightly, making an extremely subtle sound, as if he was reciting a mantra of witchcraft in a language he did not understand. Almost instantly, however, the flaming bird had already arrived in front of it, and it shone brightly, and in an instant, the baby was silent, and no strange sound came out.
Just when Zhang Longqian thought that Xiao Yingru had not had time to use the demon technique she was preparing to be solved by Cang Yan, there was a sudden murmuring sound of running water in her ears, and she couldn't help but look around in confusion, but she didn't see anything, and there was still an empty roof around her. But the sound did not disappear, but became clearer and louder, and soon it was like a spring tinkling, then a river rushing forward, and then a waterfall rushing down, deafening. And as the sound became stronger, the red light gradually dimmed, revealing the appearance of Xiao Yingru, who was originally covered by red light. It squinted and stood in place, but in front of it opened a large curtain of light blue waterβyes, not a curtain of light, but a curtain of water. The sound of the water that Zhang Longqian heard came from there, and the huge water curtain was like a small waterfall, with no source and no end, but it continued to flow down, pressing down the originally gorgeous fiery red.
Nangong Piao couldn't help but gasp: "...... Real water! β
Zhang Longqian slowed down a little, and then realized that Nangong Piao was not complaining about anyone's move "real water", but that the name of the waterfall-like thing was "real water".
Reviewing Journey to the West on TV every summer vacation, Zhang Longqian also knows what "real fire" and "real water" are, although she doesn't know how much difference there is between "real water" in reality and the story, but she also understands a little that this is a rare thing that specializes in dealing with fire, even if it is a rare "real fire", it will be restrained.
It seems that Cang Yan has met an opponent.
