Chapter Twenty-Three: The Miasma of the Nine Shadows
The snake source demon let out a terrible wail, and its huge body fell with a bang.
Without much effort, the source demon that had plagued the Luo family for many months was swept away.
"That's?" At the moment when the snake demon fell, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly sank.
In the body of the snake source demon, he caught a flash of glittering jade light.
Shout!
A sword qi gossamer shot out suddenly, sweeping through the corpse of the snake source demon.
A finger-long white Gu worm was picked up by the sword qi and fell into the palm of Lu Qingshan's hand.
Lu Qingshan stared at the jade Gu worm in his palm that was constantly wriggling.
"Heart Demon Gu." Lu Qingshan's voice sank, and the moment he saw this thing, he understood the principle of it.
"In the bodies of these leading source demons, they are all sub-Gu that have been planted into the Heart Demon Gu by the underworld, once the host body falls, this news will be the first to reach the mother Gu.
And the Mother Gu holder, that is, the Underworld Cultivator, can immediately drive a new batch of Source Demons to make a comeback. Lu Qingshan said
"But why?" Ji Chuan's brows furrowed slightly, incomprehensible.
The underworld even used the Heart Demon Gu, could it be just to drive these low-grade source demons to invade the Burial Ridge?
Even the purpose of these source demons currently being revealed seems to be only targeting these source stone orchid veins, and they can't even talk about invading the burial mountains.
Unreasonable, extremely unreasonable.
According to what they thought, the strange action of the underworld this time should have been aimed at their Sword Sect.
But at this level of chaos, how could it possibly have an impact on the Sword Sect?
What is the hell going on?
Lu Qingshan also frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Senior brother, you can find out if there is any demonic qi in the Yellow Spring Death Qi." Looking at the pit in the mine, the dead air of the Yellow Spring rolling up had not calmed down for a long time, and another thought suddenly flashed in Lu Qingshan's heart.
Ji Chuan's pupils shrank, and he understood the meaning of Lu Qingshan's words
The green waist wandered out, wandering in the dead air of the rolling yellow spring for a while.
After a few moments, the green waist retreated.
Above the silver-white sword body, there was a layer of rich withered yellow light, which was a sign of Huangquan's dead qi.
But in the thick withered yellow light, there was still a lingering black glow.
"Demonic energy!" Ji Chuan's heart was shocked.
Lu Qingshan nodded, and the guess in his heart was verified, "This is the Miasma of the Nine Shadows, a medicine refined by the demon clan to confuse the minds of demon beasts, formless and colorless, soluble in all things with substance.
Once a spirit absorbs the Miasma of the Nine Shadows, it will be affected by it, gradually losing its rationality, and eventually turning into a beast that only knows how to kill.
The influence of the Nine Myasma on the mind is an extremely long, subtle, and silent process, and it is not achieved overnight.
Moreover, the stronger the existence of the primordial god, the lower the effectiveness of the Nine Shadows Miasma.
Therefore, the Miasma of the Nine Shadows is generally of no great use to the Terran monks, and is only suitable for demon beasts with weak primordial spirits.
After these source demons invaded the veins of the source stone orchid, in order to maintain their own state, they had to absorb and swallow the yellow spring dead qi contained in the source stone orchid, so as to refine the miasma of the nine shadows into the body.
Under the influence of the Miasma of the Nine Shadows, he became a crazy source demon who was demented and only knew how to kill. β
"Senior brother, how did you know about the existence of the Nine Shadows Miasma?" Ji Chuan's eyes flickered, slightly surprised.
I was surprised by the existence of the Nine Shadows Miasma, and I was also surprised by Lu Qingshan's eloquent talk.
The miasma of the Nine Shadows, as a Taoist monk, has a wide range of visions, and he has never heard of it before.
But he didn't expect that Lu Qingshan, who was from a humble background, could know so much, and subconsciously felt a little surprised.
"I was born in Zhenjiang, Qingzhou, and I personally experienced the corpse puppet rebellion led by the underworld.
Since then, I have been involved in many operations against the underworld.
Therefore, the understanding of the means of the underworld is also deeper. Lu Qingshan found a suitable reason.
Hatred is the source of power, and the one who knows the underworld best will always hate the underworld the most, which is very reasonable.
But in fact, the real reason is because of the prophets.
In a version nine days later, the underworld once used the miasma of the Nine Shadows to trigger a beast tide to attack the city, triggering a major plot mission.
Although that story mission is not part of the main story, it is also very large-scale, rich in rewards and sensational.
After the task, some players reviewed the whole process and gave a detailed introduction to the Nine Shades Mist, which made Lu Qingshan remember it in his heart.
So now, when I saw a similar scene, I immediately reacted.
"As more and more Nine Shades Miasma is absorbed, these source demons will become more and more crazy, and now they will kill the human race just by seeing ......it," Lu Qingshan muttered: "In the back, they will even completely enter a state of murder, looking for human flavor, and take the initiative to find and attack the human race to satisfy their desire to slaughter." β
Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan glanced at each other, both thinking of some terrifying possibility.
"How long will it take for the Nine Shadows Miasma to make these demon beasts enter a state of murder?" Ji Chuan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice.
"Two to three months, no later than three months.
Absorbing the miasma of the Nine Shadows into the body, and then not falling into a state of murder for more than three months, it indicates that the Yuan Shen Realm is enough to be immune to the erosion of the Miasma of the Nine Shadows. Lu Qingshan said slowly.
ββThe time when the Source Demon invaded the Burial Ridge Source Shilan Ore Vein was almost three months ago.
"If these demon beasts break out, then the entire burial mountain will be ruined." Ji Chuan's face was as gloomy as water.
At this time, in the burial ridge, the hundreds of source stone orchid veins are all occupied by the source demons, and the number of source demons can be imagined.
You must know that there are countless mortals and low-level monks in the burial mountain, and these people are lambs to be slaughtered in front of the source demon.
Although Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan are strong, there are only two of them after all, once the source demon comes out, how can they deal with it?
"I will immediately summon the Hui Sect and ask the Sect to send people to support," Ji Chuan decided, "Then, let's go back to the Qiu family first and inform the Qiu family of this news."
Let the Qiu family master quickly report this bad news to the major families in the Burial Mountains, so that they can prepare to welcome the source demon to kill the ore vein. β
Lu Qingshan nodded.
The source demon stayed in the ore vein for three consecutive months, and the performance of hibernation had already made the major families of the burial ridge lose their vigilance, and by default, as long as they retreated from the source Shilan ore vein, the source demon would not trouble them.
In this state, once the source demon erupts, the consequences are unimaginable.
The two of them, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately set off and prepared to return to the Qiu family.
It's just that Lu Qingshan's heart has always been shrouded in a shadow.
This matter is definitely not that simple.
One, how did the underworld let these source demons leave the source land?
Second, even if the source demon riots and makes the lives of the burial mountain miserable, although it is a tragedy, for the Sword Sect, the biggest loss is the Qiu family.
And obviously, this time the underworld is aimed at the Sword Sect.
So behind this matter, there must be a deeper conspiracy.
Lu Qingshan's heart was heavy, but there was nothing he could do, he could only see the move.
Take a step at a time, and solve the hidden dangers of the source demon riot first!
