Chapter 310: Human-faced Ghost Owl
Although he scolded Wang Siyan just now, Liu Ye was a very curious person who liked to join in the fun, and when he saw that Wang Siyan began to concentrate on cultivation, he got up and walked to the edge of the rift, glanced down, and couldn't help but change his expression slightly, with a flick of his fingers, a green light floated out, like a smart firefly, towards Chong, who was closing the door to recuperate.
Just when the green light was about to fall on Chong's face, he had already woken up, flicked his right hand, grabbed the green light into his palm, flashed to Liu Ye's side, and said softly: "You just said Wang Siyan, but now you are naughty." ”
"What, I just called you over, and what's the matter with the way you talk about adults and children? Don't forget, I'm your sister. Liu Ye glared at Chong and said.
Chong shrugged, didn't argue with her about this matter, and looked down at her hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
It turned out that at this time, under the valley bottom, the dark red river that had been flowing gently became a little turbulent at this time, and the river water continued to surge, hitting the banks on both sides, making a banging sound, constantly echoing in the rift valley.
It's just that this rift is so deep, so standing on it is not particularly loud to listen to.
In addition, there is something rolling in the middle of the river, but because a layer of red mist has risen on the surface of the river, gradually filling the entire rift, even if the eyes are sharp, it is impossible to see it really.
But Chong didn't dare to probe his spiritual sense into it, so he could only speculate wildly, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Do you think there's something sinister hidden here?" asked Willow Leaf.
This is exactly what Chong fears. Since entering this secret realm, although they have experienced several battles, the enemies are all outsiders like them, and so far they have not encountered the attack of the creatures in this secret realm, which is quite abnormal.
Even in the forest before, the Heavenly King had inadvertently killed several demon beasts, but their strength was obviously not in line with the abundant spiritual energy in this secret realm.
It stands to reason that in such a vast secret realm and with abundant aura, it is very common and natural for some earth-level beast kings or even heaven-level demon kings to appear.
You must know that there are many earth-level beast kings and heaven-level demon kings in the secret realm of Standing Stone Mountain, and that side is far from comparable to here, and in any case, the quantity and quality of demon beasts here should not be worse than that over there.
But the fact is that since Chong and the others entered here, they have walked so far, and basically they have not encountered any decent demon beast attacks, which is simply like walking into a big city and not even seeing anyone, from the inside to the outside, there is a weirdness that makes people uneasy.
Especially when Chong saw the many bones under the sea of flowers before, and saw some corpses floating in this rift, he felt more and more that this place was really strange.
Now hearing Liu Ye ask this, obviously she also felt the same way, so Chong nodded and said, "This possibility is very high, but we can't do anything." ”
Saying that, Chong said that he wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate but suffered a little bit before, and finally said: "I suspect that the mist rising down there is harmful to people......
......At this time, a series of strange cries suddenly came from the sky, at first glance it was the sound of birds, but when you listen carefully, it looks like a baby is crying, but if you distinguish it carefully, it seems that someone is screaming, and I can't help but feel a little irritable in my heart.
"Phew. Chong's reaction was extremely fast, with a flick of his fingers, several spirit stones flew out, and a series of magic tricks fell on it, and a soundproof ban was placed around Wang Siyan's body in an instant.
In this way, you can make sure that she is not affected by these cries, otherwise she will go crazy if she hears them at the time of her entry.
Then Chongcai looked up at the sky where the sound came from, and saw seven or eight huge birds, which were not inferior to Ulla, flying through the sky.
Their feathers are red and black, and they look ugly because they are stained with clotted blood, and their long, reddish necks are bare, without a single feather, and they look very similar to vultures.
But the birds all had human faces, and the strange calls came from their somewhat pointed beaks. It makes people feel creepy when they see them.
"This ...... What the hell is this?" Liu Ye raised her head, just in time to see a strange bird looking down on the jurisdiction, just in time to meet her eyes, the other party even showed a hideous smile, which made her can't help but stand on end, it was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
In fact, for cultivators, it was not scary to see ghosts, but such a strange and terrifying monster made Liu Ye, who had always been bold, couldn't help but tremble.
In fact, it has nothing to do with guts, it is purely an instinctive reaction, just like some people can play high-altitude bungee jumping and walk a tightrope on a cliff, but when they see a snake, they can't help but have weak legs and cold sweat in their palms.
Legend has it that the monsters that live on the banks of the Netherworld and feed on the corpses of the dead and the souls of the dead, it is rumored that they can communicate between the yin and yang worlds, shuttling between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and their faces are not static, but will become the face they think is the most beautiful, and the owners of these faces have long been swallowed by them, and their souls are completely scattered. Chong's eyes were fixed on the human-faced ghosts who were falling, and he said casually.
These legends do not appear in ordinary books, even in books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but they are passed down orally among the cultivation families and cultivation sects that have been inherited for a long time.
Chong knew that he had naturally heard about these things from his grandfather, otherwise she would not have known the origin of these things either.
......With a strange cry, the five human-faced ghosts flew into the rift, completely ignoring the red mist that permeated the river, and flew over the surface of the river to grab a corpse floating on the water with their claws.
At the same time, the human-faced ghost owl who had just looked down at Willow Leaf did not fall with his companion, but pounced on Willow Leaf. Its strange face was full of greed, and it was like a hungry ghost who had seen delicious blood food, and sticky saliva was constantly flowing from its pointed mouth.
"I was scared just now, and now you still want to eat me, you really pinch me like a soft persimmon. Liu Ye's face was angry, but he didn't cast a spell to attack, and he said through gritted teeth, but he didn't move, as if the Buddha was stunned.
Chong stood beside him, and although there was a green plum sword hovering beside him, he did not intervene.
When the human-faced ghost owl was less than seven or eight meters away from him, Liu Ye suddenly woke up, raised his hand and showed the golden black red fire fan, and when the true yuan was poured into it, he suddenly waved it several times.
"Hu ......" The next moment, the blazing flames swept up with the wind from the Golden Crow Red Fire Fan, and in a moment, they rose nearly five or six meters high, and spread towards all directions, covering a range of nearly twenty or thirty meters.
Looking from the bottom up, Liu Ye seemed to have cast a huge net of flames at this time, constantly expanding, constantly extending, and covering the human-faced ghost from all directions.
"Goo ......" thought that the human-faced ghost owl who would be able to eat delicious blood food soon would encounter such a fierce and fiery attack, but when it saw the flames rising into the sky, it wanted to dodge but it was too late, and under the anger, the human face became distorted and hideous, and let out a terrible scream.
"Bang. The furious flames slammed into the human-faced ghost's body, not only did the powerful impact knock it upside down, but the blazing flames formed by the fusion of the leyline red flame and the golden crow flame ignited the rather ugly and even disgusting feathers on its body.
No matter how weird and terrifying this human-faced ghost is, its essence is after all an obscure thing that feeds on corpses and ghosts, and it is the most filthy thing, and it is inherently afraid of fire, thunder, lightning, sunlight and other things.
Otherwise, these ghost-faced owls would not have flown out to forage for food when the light was at its dimest in the secret realm.
Now the flames that burned into it were mixed with the golden crow flames in addition to the leyline red flames, even if they were far from being comparable to the true fire of the sun, but they still had a pretty good effect on destroying the evil spirits, so not only did the feathers on its body burn wildly, but the flames also invaded its body.
The human-faced ghost owl who was blown out of the "Goo Coo ......" rolled in the air involuntarily and let out a cry of extreme pain.
Now its face no longer has the eerie and greedy and hideous look it had before, there is only endless fear left, and it is constantly changing, and at the same time, black smoke floats out of its mouth and nose, and the Buddha is a figure that emerges, and then dissipates with the wind.
"Goo. "Flames erupted from the nostrils of the human-faced owl's mouth, which meant that its body was already filled with flames.
When the body of the human-faced ghost owl rolled and fell to the ground, it immediately fell apart, turning into countless smoke and dust, and there was not even a trace of anything left.
"This thing is too poor, I thought there would be some demon pills left. Liu Ye said with some regret.
"It's not strange, this thing is not a demon beast at all, but should be classified as a ghost thing, the flesh and blood of the whole body are filthy to the extreme, and it is clean when it is burned by fire, even if there is something left, I am afraid that it cannot be used for alchemy, what are you going to do?" Chong said with a smile.
"Coo-goo-goo-......goo-
The scarlet blood splattered down, staining the branches and leaves with blood, and the long, twisted and ugly tree looked like a claw sticking out of the cover, even from a distance.
At this time, the human-faced ghost owl seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, so he suddenly turned his head and looked at Chonghe Liuye, and there was a smile on his face, which was no different from the satisfaction that ordinary people naturally showed when they ate food.
It's just that there are drops of blood flowing down its pointed mouth now, and even its neck is dyed red, and the rotten flesh on the corner of its mouth makes it look extremely gloomy and terrifying.
If it weren't for the distance away, the willow leaves might not hesitate to fan over.
Even so, Liu Ye couldn't help but shudder and muttered, "It's disgusting." ”
"Goo-goo...... The human-faced ghost smirked, and let out two strange screams and ate again.
