346 The pomp and circumstance of a thousand-year-old demon
In order to have less trouble on the road, Zhou Bufan also deliberately glued a long beard, and by the way, his face was blackened a lot, and he directly dressed up as a middle-aged man, of course, Yuechi was also dressed up as a black teenager.
Sure enough, after some disguise, at least the people who were interested in seeing it were gone, but there were a lot of things missing, and then they took a shortcut over the mountains and mountains, and they hurried day and night, but they successfully arrived in the capital a few days early.
It was only after some inquiries in the capital that I found out that the protector had left the capital a few days ago, saying that he was traveling around the country to preach and preach the Fa, and it was like a big star on a national tour, and Zhou Bufan could only continue to track him down.
Fortunately, the Protector Mage had a very big show when he traveled, and it was easy to hear the news, and finally in a county town, he successfully caught up with the Protector and his party.
Sitting in the private room of the teahouse, carefully observing the large procession of the protector when he traveled, he was playing music and scattering flowers, and this travel scene was even more grand than the emperor's trip.
Zhou Bufan is very puzzled about this [gray wolf fo] situation, it stands to reason that as a monster mixed in human society, since he has successfully infiltrated the imperial court, he should make a fortune in a muffled voice, but why does this monster do things so high-profile?
Generally speaking, too high-profile monsters, mixed in human society basically can't live long, since this world can be animals and plants mutated into powerful monsters, then as the spirit of all things, human beings will of course appear more powerful Qi refiners.
This monster is so high-profile, if it is discovered by those powerful qi refiners, what thousand-year-old demon is just a pile of very precious materials in the eyes of those people, and it may be hunted at any time, collect demon souls and take demon pills or something.
It's a pity that there is a time limit for his mission, otherwise he just needs to hide and wait, maybe he doesn't have to do it himself at all, this super centipede spirit won't be long before it will definitely be killed by others......
It's a pity that I don't have time to wait, tomorrow is also the day of the lunar eclipse, if you don't clean up this guy every day, the mission will fail? What the consequences of a failed mission will be for the time being.
Long queues passing through the streets? After seeing the hundreds of followers of the Protector Mage, his confidence in completing the mission this time diminished a lot.
The number of subordinates of this guy is far greater than originally speculated? The entourage of hundreds of people turned out to be all youkai? It's just that the demonic energy on the body is so well hidden by what secret technique that the yin and yang eyes can't see it at all? Only the Divine Sense can detect anomalies.
The most important thing is not that there are enough little demons, but that the strength of these little demons seems to be quite good? After observing it casually, I found that there were dozens of little demons in the team whose strength had exceeded the third level of Qi training? There are a few others who have even reached more than sixty percent of the Qi cultivation level.
Although these little demons are all demonic skills cultivated by devouring human flesh and blood, their combat effectiveness will be much worse than that of Qi refiners of the same level, but they are only at the second level of Qi training, if they are not compared to magic weapons? Any little demon can beat himself out of breath.
As for how strong the thousand-year-old centipede essence is, it is not clear? I didn't dare to use my divine sense to detect at all, because the other party's cultivation was much higher than my own, as long as I observed and detected, the other party would be sensed nine times out of ten.
However, since those subordinates already have such a powerful strength, the strength of the centipede essence may already be comparable to that of a qi practitioner above the realm of heaven and man.
"What is Brother Zhou worried about?" Seeing that Zhou Bufan was a little worried, Yuechi asked with some curiosity.
"Nothing? Yuechi, you go and ask the boss to prepare some dry food? We're still busy tonight. As he spoke, he handed the other party a piece of silver.
"......" Yuechi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything? It's just that the silver turned away silently.
Suddenly I feel that I am really useless, and I can't help you with anything along the way? Instead, it caused a lot of trouble for Brother Zhou? Don't you want to send yourself away now? Apparently too lazy to talk to himself.
Zhou Bufan, who was thinking about the ambush plan with his head, of course didn't notice Yuechi's emotions, the strength of the enemy he faced was beyond the strength of the phenomenon, and there were so many of them, it was really troublesome to deal with.
Originally, I was thinking of introducing the centipede spirit into the trap I had set up, but after discovering that the other party had several subordinates who were much stronger than expected, the original trap was no longer applicable.
Generally speaking, a true master has a strong intuition about crises, and if a trap is set, the other party will generally perceive some crisis when they are close.
Since this thousand-year-old demon has so many powerful subordinates, of course he won't be stupid and break in by himself, and he should send those subordinates to find out.
At that time, whether it is to kill those demons who have entered the trap or not, they will be discovered by the other party, and if they resist head-on, even if they have a big killing weapon in hand, they are not very sure.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a more active ambush strategy, such as making a few more improvised mortars, using those black powder and the assistance of the rune array, you can easily use the super bomb as a cannonball to launch several kilometers away.
In this way, you can send something on the far mountain, or even on the other side of the mountain, to set up an ambush and carry out long-distance strikes.
It's just that this kind of attack accuracy is very problematic, and you can only use the strange light formed after the bomb explodes to carry out a range attack, but carpet bombing will make the super bomb reduce the lethality of the monster by many times, so it may not be able to hit this centipede spirit hard.
However, the mortar really needs to be built, there are so many enemies and they are so strong, if they are approached by the enemy, they don't even have a chance to escape......
'Brother Zhou, the dry food is ready, should we leave now?' ’
"Yuechi, I may really need your help to do something big this time."
"Can I help a lot, too?"
"yes, it's just that thing, it can be a little dangerous."
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Zhou just orders."
"I need time to make a few special weapons temporarily, and I can't continue to track the protector mage, so I need you to keep up with that group of people from a distance and determine the specific location of the protector mage."
“…… Good. ”
"Without further ado, let's split up, and we'll round out at the Fulai Inn in the evening." As he spoke, he was about to get up and look for materials to forge the magic version of the mortar, but he was stopped by Yuechi.
"Brother Zhou, please promise me one thing."
"Well, you say."
“…… If I die, help me get Daddy. Yuechi said with some disdain to death.
"Don't worry, you just need to follow them from a distance, as long as you try to keep a distance from those people, and change your image a little, it shouldn't be okay to pretend to be a passerby, since that guy is pretending to be a good person, he shouldn't attack ordinary passers-by."
"That Yuechi goes, Brother Zhou cherishes it." As he spoke, he took the initiative to hug the person and even had the courage to kiss him, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhou Bufan didn't care much about this at all, and after seeing that Yuechi had to keep up with the group of people who were drifting away, Zhou Bufan also quickly left the teahouse and went to the blacksmith shop to buy materials.
