Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Tragedy of Fengyun Hall
Chen Jin's sword split off most of the head of the evil spirit demon beast.
The demon beast that was violently thrown on the stone wall and fell to the ground by Xu Ning's Demon Slaying Lock actually staggered to its feet again, and blood gushed out from the hole in its head, and red blood and white flowed all over the ground.
Seeing this unbelievable scene, both of them gasped, this evil spirit and demon beast was really violent.
The demon beast gathered all its strength and pounced forward, but it was only a dying struggle at the end of the crossbow, and after a small step, its huge body like a mountain of meat fell to the ground, and the dark green skin full of folds was slumped on the ground, and the blood foam in its mouth continued to emerge with the fangs and sharp mouth, only the breath was out but not the intake.
Xu Ning's hanging heart also fell to the ground, and he ran forward to investigate.
"Be careful! Get out of the way! Chen Jin behind him couldn't stop screaming, and a soul talisman flew out of his hand, hitting the already dead demon beast before Xu Ning.
Xu Ning didn't know what to do in his heart, but when he saw the dead demon beast under his feet, a red light suddenly flashed, and a black mist came out and hugged him, and he hurriedly flew to dodge, and he could dodge.
"Purifying Talisman."
With the sound of Chen Jin's incantation, another soul flew into this mysterious black mist, only to see this black mist contract and twist violently, and then scurry into the air and change into a strange human form, opening its teeth and dancing claws to let out a series of terrible and high-pitched hisses.
The strange sound from the black mist was so angry that the eardrums of both of them seemed to be punctured, and they were buzzing and had a splitting headache, and they hurriedly covered their ears with their hands.
The terrible and chilling hissing sound gradually faded away, and Xu Ning looked up, the black mist that had changed into a human shape had already flown away and finally merged into the thick black gas layer that disappeared on the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
Chen Jin stepped forward and said awe-inspiringly: "The soul of the evil spirit is hidden in the body of the demon beast, but although the host is dead, the parasite will not be destroyed. If it hadn't been for my 'Purifying Talisman' to seal it in time, you would have been poisoned by the demonic spirit. ”
Hearing this, Xu Ning also felt a chill in his back, thinking that there was such an unpredictable horror in this wild hinterland, and he must be extremely careful in the future.
Xu Ning thanked him and said, "I'm going to find the four-grade magic crystal in the demon beast's body now, are you okay?" ”
Chen Jin shook his head: "Although the four-rank evil spirit demon beast is also on the heavenly demon list, these four-grade demon crystals have never existed. ”
"Why is that?" Xu Ning was puzzled.
"The demon beast possessed by the evil spirit, the soul essence and blood have been taken by the evil spirit, and the reason why it is classified as the fourth rank of the Heavenly Essentials List is because its combat power has reached the fourth grade, which is equivalent to the realm of my king realm martial cultivator." Chen Jin replied and used his long sword to split the body of the demon beast, and sure enough, there was nothing.
Xu Ning still felt that there were some things that he didn't understand, to say that this demon beast had reached the ability of my King Realm martial cultivator, so it wouldn't be so attackable.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask clearly, he heard Chen Jin continue: "Within the sealing range of this town's magic array, no demon beast dares to venture in, let alone this town demon mountain town demon tower. The magic circle here is the most powerful, and when the demonic things arrive here, not only will the demonic power be greatly weakened, but they will also be sucked out of some energy by the magic suppression array. ”
Xu Ning immediately understood a lot in his heart, so it was so, the attack power of the demon beasts of my king realm was really weakened by half of their ability here. I can't help but be a little afraid, if I see it in the ** of Zhenmo Mountain, the lives of both of them are estimated to be in danger at this time.
"It's strange, why did this evil spirit monster venture to come to Demon Suppression Mountain?" Xu Ning saw Chen Jin's thoughtful look, but he couldn't find an answer, and his pale face was covered with a worried look.
Chen Jin probed carefully in the vicinity again, but in the end he still found nothing, and looked up at the thick demonic aura surging in the sky above the Demon Suppression Tower, and the color of worry deepened a lot.
The two looked along the way around Zhenmo Mountain, and Xu Ning followed behind, watching the moon-white robe on Chen Jin's body being blown by the strong wind, and his figure looked even thinner. I couldn't help but admire it in my heart, thinking that this Senior Brother Chen was not a few years older than him, but he was open-minded and sophisticated.
He followed his senior brother all the way, and as far as the eye could see, there was a dull gray world all around, and he added a few points to his admiration for Chen Jin, and secretly thought to himself: "In the past, I had a master in the Qilin Mountain Range to accompany me to talk, and Senior Brother Chen Jin was alone in this deserted and dangerous place to guard the Demon Suppression Tower, which was even more boring and had to face danger all the time, which is really admirable." ”
Xu Ning has never had this feeling for another person except for his father since he was sensible, he has always been more mature and resolute than his peers, and he has experienced the life and death tribulations of life, and sometimes he seems very cold-blooded. But since yesterday, he and Chen Jin have hit it off at first sight, and unconsciously regarded Chen Jin as his brother.
Walking to the edge of a corner, Chen Jin stopped to check, and in the lightning and thunder, dazzling white lightning gathered in front of him.
Xu Ning was surprised in his heart, approached the stone to take a closer look, and found that there were some runes carved in the smooth place of the stone. Leaning down and looking down, there was a large white light connected to a large stone tablet standing below.
There are four stone tablets standing in the four directions of the Town Demon Array, connected to the Demon Town Mountain suspended above with a black giant lock, Xu Yun has seen two places now, and after all of them have gone around, the other two places have also been seen.
After the vicious battle in front of him, coupled with this patrol along the way, before I knew it, the day was already in the middle of the day.
It's the height of summer when the sun is shining, but the Demon Wind Mountain Range is always shrouded in boundless black fog, and even the sunlight is blocked out, everywhere is gray, and the sun is just a faint light overhead.
The person stood on the Demon Suppression Mountain, and the surroundings were unobstructed, but seeing that this Demon Wind Mountain Range was like an endless long high wall dividing the wild land into two sides, and the west of the mountain range was as dark as ink, and Xu Ning didn't know if he would have the opportunity to go there in the future, and if he got there, he didn't know what would happen and what kind of strange creatures he would encounter.
Looking at the sky, Chen Jin said: "It's only noon, and it's not too late to go back in the evening, let's go back to the courtyard to eat and rest first." ”
The two walked back to the courtyard and sat down on a clean stone platform outside a low thatched hut.
The five pines and cypresses that Xu Ning saw when he first entered the mountain gate not far away, originally thought that these must be a few old pines that had been old for a long time, but he didn't expect them to be newly cultivated. This town is full of solid hard stone land, but in this courtyard is sandy land, it is really a strange scene.
Chen Jinzao saw that he was curious, and said with a shallow smile: "I don't know how these things came about, in short, every qiē here is not done by ordinary manpower, and the magic of nature is not something we can imagine, just these pines and cypresses......"
At this point, he stopped, as if saddened.
Xu Ning was very uneasy, and didn't dare to ask more, just buried his head in eating, and wondered in his heart: "Isn't this just a few new trees?" Senior Brother Chen, why is this? ”
"There's a skeleton buried under every pine tree." Chen Jin returned to normalcy and muttered, "It's all my senior brother of Fengyun Hall......
Xu Ning was stunned and asked solemnly: "But I don't know when and why these people died?" ”
Chen Jin stood up, walked under the tree, and held the trunk in his hand.
After a long time, he turned around and said, "Then I'll tell you." ”
Xu Ning listened to him, and his heart was clear.
It turned out that just a few months ago, there were still ten people in Fengyun Hall guarding the Demon Suppression Tower of Demon Wind Mountain, divided into two groups of five people. One group lives on this mountain, and the other group lives on Juling Peak Mountain, rotating once every half a month, the purpose of the rotation is not only to ensure that the guardians of the Demon Suppression Mountain will not be polluted by living on the mountain where demonic qi and demon barriers are rampant for a long time, but also to ensure that they return to Juling Peak to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation.
But just three months ago, when Chen Ning led the senior brothers in the hall to change shifts, he was shocked to find that all five people defending the formation had died in this courtyard, and even the bodies had been decomposed and mutilated, and he didn't know what happened at first. Later, when I checked the corpses, they were all poisoned by demonic energy, and there were no traces of a fight around.
After probing, it was found that the demonic aura in the magic array in this town was much stronger than before, so I had to endure the pity and bury all five people here, as for these pines and cypresses, they were brought from Dongzhou later, and they should be regarded as a commemorative tombstone.
When Xu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and suddenly asked, "What about the other four?" ”
"I remember telling you." Chen Jin replied, "I killed all four of them. ”
Chen Jin looked at Xu Ning's bloodless face and was speechless, and sighed softly: "After this tragic incident, those four people didn't dare to go to this Demon Wind Mountain Range anymore, and you also know that even the way back and forth between these two places before was also dangerous." ”
Xu Ning nodded, thinking that this Senior Brother Chen Jin was definitely not the kind of wicked demon who innocently killed his own brother, and there must be something unspeakable and unspeakable.
"Do you remember the pool of blood we passed yesterday?" Chen Jin asked.
Xu Ning nodded, and listened to him continue: "As mentioned earlier, after the four of them saw the tragedy that happened here, they all spent their days in panic from now on, and even their usual cultivation was careless, and they already had a sense of it......"
Hearing this, Xu Ning was puzzled again, this iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, the twisted melons are not sweet, it is better to simply let them go back to Tongtian Peak, why do you want to force them to stay and kill people, it is completely unnecessary.
"I know what you're thinking...... Chen Jin's eyes stayed on Xu Ning, and Xu Ning was a little hairy, "But this matter of protecting the tower is the first major matter of my Fengyun Hall, and I was also inconsiderate at that time, so I forced them to come with me every day to inspect it." ”
"Are these people not listening to you?"
"Not really, these people have always been quite jealous of me, and besides, this Fengyun Hall can't come and go if you want to." Chen Jin replied.
Xu Ning couldn't help but nod, he himself had experienced all kinds of life and death dangers in Tongtian Peak, the road of a warrior was the road of a brave, and only a brave man could create a strong man.
Chen Jin sat down and stood up, looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and paused for a while before he said, "About half a month after the violent death of the five junior disciples here, our group went to the Demon Wind Mountain Range as usual, and encountered a thundercloud lizard near the blood pool. ”
When Xu Ning heard the four words of the thundercloud lizard, he immediately thought of the five-grade magic crystal in his arms.
"Although the cultivation of the four of them is inferior to yours, they are also carefully selected from Rashomon, and it is not very difficult to deal with that demon beast with my best efforts, but as soon as these four people saw this mutant demon beast, they all fell into the wilderness and fled." Chen Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly when he said this.
When Xu Ning heard this, he was originally angry, stood up and said angrily: "If it were me, maybe I would have killed this kind of guy who doesn't care about others and escapes." ”
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "I couldn't resist the demon beast alone, so I had to fight with them and retreat, so I retreated to the edge of the foul-smelling pond, and those four guys panicked and jumped into the water......
Blood pool!
Xu Ning remembered the weird and mysterious big pond he heard him mention yesterday, and he didn't know what happened there?
