(Chapter 23 of the Lower Edge of the Moon) Gathering Spirit Ancient Array
"No?"
Looking at Nangong Qiyue, who was not joking, he was stunned, and Yuan Chu said: "How could it not be? If it weren't for the fact that there were too many monsters, how could we end up in such a mess?"
"That's weird. ”
Waving his hand to signal the immortal generals to guard the surroundings, Nangong Qiyue said: "From the time we entered this cave until we met you, in addition to encountering a few enchantments, it was a cave in front of us that was full of corpses of the Spirit Butterfly Pond Butterfly Demon......"
"A cave full of butterfly corpses?"
Listening to Nangong Qiyue's explanation, Yuan Chu felt even more strange.
So he looked at Qu Luoyi and said, "Luo Yi, isn't it possible that we and Yueyue didn't come in from the same entrance?"
"Perhaps. ”
Qu Luoyi carefully hugged the unconscious cloud fox in his arms, and there was exhaustion and worry between his eyebrows.
"But that's not right. ”
Turning his head to look at Nangong Qiyue again, Yuan Chu said, "If we didn't come in from the same entrance, then how did you find this door?"
"We went into the cave and walked all the way to this point. ”
After speaking, Nangong Qiyue asked rhetorically, "How did you and the Qu Palace Master get here?"
Luo Yi found the breath of the spiritual root she gave to Luoshang to find this demonic mountain, and it didn't take long after we went up the mountain to see Luoshang who was surrounded by the breath of the Demon Domain, had already shown its original form, and was dying, but before we could stop her, she seemed to run in one direction because she heard something, and after we followed her all the way over, we came here by mistake. ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Chu looked at the cloud fox in Qu Luoyi's arms with some blame and helplessness.
"However, when we entered, we found that the door was full of monsters that looked like crazy demons. Originally, with Luo Yi's cultivation and me, there was no need to be afraid of them, but ......"
"But how?"
Although Yuan Chu always looks happy on weekdays, and he never makes a move on anyone in the fairy world, as his friend for many years, Nangong Qiyue knows that his cultivation and skills are enough to compete with him.
Therefore, seeing that he was actually forced into such a situation by a group of monsters at this time, Nangong Qiyue asked strangely: "Since the monsters can be blocked from the Demon Heart Stone Gate and do not break in, it means that their cultivation is not very good, even so, how can you not even parry this kind of cultivation monsters?"
"Ahem, it's not ......"
Remembering that no one else knew about his loss of spiritual root so far except for Qi Xue, Yuan Chu paused, and then said, "Isn't this Luo Yi and Luo Shang here......?" I'm afraid that if I don't take care of them and let them get hurt by monsters, it won't be good. ”
"Is that so?"
Looking suspiciously at Yuan Chu, who was obviously a little weak and a little evasive in his eyes, Nangong Qiyue wanted to continue to ask. But when he saw Yuan Chu silently signaling to himself not to ask first, he had to stop the question.
"Let's talk about how to get out. ”
Seeing that Nangong Qiyue understood what he meant, Yuan Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But when he saw Qu Luoyi transmitting spiritual power into Qu Luosheng's body again, he hurriedly said, "It's not a way to stay here forever. ”
"There are no monsters around now, so if we follow the way we entered, we might be able to go back. ”
After Yuan Chu finished speaking, without waiting for Nangong Qiyue to speak, Du Qiang Wu walked to the side of a few people and said.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
Frowning, Nangong Qiyue looked around and said, "Don't forget that there is a very powerful thing hidden in the dark here." ”
"Something amazing?"
It was rare to hear Nangong Qiyue say who was powerful, so Yuan Chu asked, "What is it?"
"I don't know exactly what it is, but after what you just said, I think it's more likely that it is a monster. ”
As soon as she thought that she might be secretly watched by a powerful monster, Nangong Qiyue felt an indescribable discomfort all over her body.
"Although it hasn't appeared, I can feel that its cultivation should be on par with me, or even higher than mine. ”
"Didn't such a powerful monster be eradicated by you and Ge'er in the Demon Realm in the first place?"
looked at Nangong Qiyue in surprise, and said at the beginning.
"I don't know, maybe it's really a fish that slipped through the net. ”
Walking back and forth in the cave, Nangong Qiyue looked at the strange and complicated patterns on the stone wall and the broken and dilapidated stone pillars in front of the stone wall, and said, "This seems to be the eye of some kind of formation?"
"Yes. ”
Seeing Nangong Qiyue stretching out his hand and groping on the stone wall, Yuan Chu said: "There should have been a great magic circle left over from ancient times here, I don't know what it does, but looking at the appearance of this array, this magic circle should have long been out of use." ”
"Can't you use it?"
Carefully examining the same patterns on the stone pillar and on the stone wall, Nangong Qiyue said: "Yuan Chu, do you know this?"
"I know. ”
Because before Nangong Qiyue arrived, Yuan Chu and Qu Luoyi had already studied this cave boy carefully. So hearing Nangong Qiyue's question, Qu Luoyi answered: "If I remember correctly, this formation should be used to gather spirits. ”
"Gathering spirits?"
Qu Luoyi's words surprised Nangong Qiyue.
"Is it used to gather spirits after the soul is gone?"
"Yes. ”
I didn't understand why Nangong Qiyue's face suddenly showed an ecstatic look, Qu Luoyi continued: "But this formation here should indeed be no longer usable. Otherwise, with the effect of this formation, I am afraid that the immortals and demons within the Six Realms would have already broken their heads. ”
"Hehe, that's true. ”
Qu Luoyi's voice lagged behind, and the ecstasy on Nangong Qiyue's face was instantly covered by a strong look of disappointment.
So he withdrew his hand and walked to the stone wall in the other direction in a bit of a daze.
Seeing his reaction like this, Qu Luoyi walked into Yuanchu and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with General Nangong?"
"Well, it's fine. ”
After giving Qu Luoyi a look that he would say later, Yuan Chu could only sigh heavily.
However, at this moment, when everyone was in a relaxed state, a strong demonic qi suddenly poured out from a stone pillar.
Immediately afterwards, there were more and more black demonic qi, and many of the immortal generals who were guarding the surrounding area who were still shallow in cultivation collapsed to the ground because they couldn't stand the erosion of demonic qi.
Seeing this sudden change, Nangong Qiyue hurriedly used his spiritual power to lay a barrier around everyone. But even so, with Nangong Qiyue's strength, he felt a little difficult.
Therefore, he hurriedly ordered the immortal generals who were still acting freely to use their spiritual power to protect the barrier from being broken again, and then turned his head and shouted at Yuan Chu: "Yuan Chu, protect the Qu Palace Master!"
"Good!"
Standing up and protecting Qu Luoyi behind him, Yuan Chu originally wanted to help Nangong Qiyue strengthen the barrier. But because he himself has lost half of his cultivation, he is afraid that he can't even compare to an immortal general now.
So after hesitating for a while, he chose to stand in place, with the idea of doing everything to protect Qu Luoyi, and added another layer of barrier to Qu Luoyi.
"Origin!"
Seeing that Yuan Chu had set up a barrier for himself, Qu Luoyi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" I haven't seen you for more than a thousand years, why don't you see your cultivation?"
"Haha, Luo Yi, you know, I've always been lazy. So since I entered the immortal realm, I haven't cultivated much. ”
Chong Qu Luo Yi smiled, and at the beginning of his life, he saw that Nangong Qiyue and the immortal generals were getting more and more difficult to support, so he still pushed out a palm and transmitted the remaining part of the spiritual power to the barrier that was about to be broken.
"You ......"
After listening to Yuan Chu's words, Qu Luoyi was angry and anxious, how could she be so "unlucky"! She was already an immortal, and she was still so unenterprising. But she was also anxious, because Yuan Chu's increasingly pale face now told her clearly that his condition was very bad.
But now that the situation was so urgent, Qu Luoyi knew that this was not the time to argue about this. Therefore, although her body was much weaker due to the lack of spiritual roots and the fact that she had not healed from her injuries later, she did not hesitate to wave her sleeves, and then, a layer of soft purple light flashed around Yuanchu's body.
"Luo Yi!"
Although he didn't notice Qu Luoyi's movements because he was paying attention to Nangong Qiyue, Yuan Chu obviously felt that his originally weak body had recovered a lot all of a sudden.
So turning his head anxiously, Yuan Chu couldn't help but scold Qu Luoyi: "Isn't your cultivation lost enough, don't waste your cultivation anymore!"
"This palace doesn't need your moon immortal to teach you a lesson!"
With another wave of his sleeves, without waiting for Yuan Chu to refuse, Qu Luoyi once again sent his spiritual power to Yuan Chu's body.
"You ......"
Seeing that Qu Luoyi was so willful, Yuan Chu just wanted to say something, but when he heard the painful wails of the immortal generals one by one due to the erosion of the demonic qi, he had to refocus his energy and help Nangong Qiyue support the crumbling barrier together.
"Yueyue, this can't work! I can't stand it. ”
"I can't stand it anymore. ”
Gritting her teeth, Nangong Qiyue quickly thought about it in her heart, and then said to Yuan Chu: "Yuan Chu, go and break that stone pillar!"
"Stone pillars?"
Following Nangong Qiyue's gaze, Yuan Chu saw at a glance that not far from him, the stone pillar that was gushing out of the demonic qi.
"Okay! Yueyue, you can hold yourself up first!"
After giving Nangong Qi Yue an instruction, Yuan Chu ran to the stone pillar very quickly, and then mobilized all the spiritual power in his body and slashed at the stone pillar with one palm.
The stone pillar shattered in response, and the qi of the Demon Domain finally stopped gushing out.
Yuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled happily at Chong Qu Luo Yi and Nangong Qiyue. However, before his smile could fully bloom, a demonic aura that was even stronger than Fang had just erupted from the stone wall.
