Chapter 381, people and ancient spirits are both profitable
Not all flowers represent beauty, not all flowers are poisonous, not all birds are the embodiment of freedom and nobility, and there are monsters that fly in the sky but plunder life and are full of ambition.
The Cursed Raven is one such monster, and according to the information found by the old army, this Cursed Raven is an ancient spirit that was created three hundred years ago, and it is also a notorious guy in the circle of illusionists who control ancient spirits, because it killed the illusionist who created it with his own hands.
There are many theories about how it killed its master, but the more widely circulated version is that the original owner of the crow has been using the crow to eliminate his opponents, and the crow has faithfully completed every task, and its owner thinks that he has complete control over the crow, but he did not expect that the crow will actually suck up all the remaining energy of that person after killing a person, and this energy is constantly strengthening the power of the crow, and making it more and more ambitious, and finally kills its master in the end.
When it killed its master, it became a wandering spirit, but by this time it had found a way to keep itself alive, and it began to hunt the living, or devour the energy of the newly deceased, but in this day and age, it was too risky to kill the living, so it was rumored that the crow had been killed by some illusionist.
But now Tang Yao knew that the ending was not as rumored, the cursed crow was not killed, but a group of wandering ancient spirits and proclaimed himself king, it no longer had to worry about not getting the energy to exist, and a little brother like the dwarf deer boy would help bring it enough energy.
The old soldier's friend said that there is something called the demon mouth in the palm of the crow's hand, which is the attack method that the illusionist who made it was equipped with it, and there will be several invisible monsters sticking out of the demon mouth, these monsters really look like snakes, they will bite the enemy's body, and then continue to increase the pressure, when the pressure rises to a certain level, it will instantly tear the enemy apart, but even if the enemy perceives that he is bitten by something, he can't get rid of it, because these things that come out of the demon's mouth are invisible and intangible, And after these things sticking out of the demon's mouth bite the enemy, although they continue to accumulate strength, they will not have much impact on the enemy, for example, Tang Yao was also bitten by these guys sticking out of the demon's mouth before and left tooth marks, but he only felt a little pain, this pain is still within Tang Yao's tolerance range, but the really terrifying thing is that once these guys reach a certain level of accumulation, they will suddenly erupt, and the power to tear the enemy will be dozens of times more than the pressure exerted on the enemy before, And this burst is done in a second or two.
Therefore, Tang Yao saw that the water ghost was torn apart in an instant, if he didn't know that the cursed crow had such a terrible means as a demon mouth and fought with the cursed crow, I am afraid that he would not know how to die at that time.
At night, in front of the wooden house, the dwarf deer boy was sitting on the steps waiting for Tang Yao, and after seeing Tang Yao's figure from a distance, he stood up and shouted: "Hehe, I knew you would come, whether it is a human being, or we are ancient spirits, we are all the same desperate guys for profit." ”
Tang Yao stopped and looked at the dwarf deer boy and said, "I'm here to make a price, but the ugly words are in front, and you may not be able to afford the price I offered." ”
The dwarf deer boy showed the kind of evil smile that made Tang Yao feel ugly again, and raised his head and shouted, "You talk about it first." ”
"I'm going to curse the raven's life." Tang Yao said.
The evil smile on the dwarf deer's face suddenly stopped at this moment, and then suddenly showed its claws as sharp as daggers, and his body jumped in front of Tang Yao, and the raised claws stabbed straight into Tang Yao's eyes, but this time Tang Yao didn't take a step back or make any movement, and the dwarf deer's claws stopped very close in front of his eyes, but they didn't stab down.
"Why don't you go too much = dodge?" The dwarf deer asked.
"You say that whether it is a human being or an ancient spirit, they are all desperate for profit, I agree with this, there are not a few people who are 100% loyal among human beings, and you ancient spirits who exist by devouring the energy of the dead have no loyalty at all, you have always behaved like a loyal dog of a cursed crow in front of me, but in my opinion, what you do is just a play for self-preservation, because your strength is not as good as that of a cursed crow, so you are acting, afraid of being killed by a cursed crow, but you still have your own ambitions in your heart, You want to get the energy on those corpses, right? Tang Yao asked, as if he had seen through the heart of the dwarf deer boy.
The dwarf deer boy withdrew his claws and said to Tang Yao, "The king is very powerful, are you sure to kill it?" ”
"As long as you and the other seven wandering ancient spirits don't make trouble for me, I am confident that I can kill the cursed crow, and I don't care what to do with those corpses when the time comes, whoever has the ability to take it away will only need the life of the cursed crow." Tang Yao said.
The dwarf deer lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Did you have a festival with the king?" ”
"Nope."
"Then why do you have to kill it, and what good will it do you?" The dwarf deer asked.
At this time, Tang Yao took out the obsidian, with the blowing of the wind and sand, Shen Tu Ya appeared behind Tang Yao, when it appeared, the dwarf deer boy was immediately shocked and quickly retreated, and then hid next to the wooden house, staring at Shen Tu Ya very fearfully and vigilantly.
"Master, what is this little monster doing, do you need me to cut it?" Shen Tuya asked.
Tang Yao waved his hand and said, "Not at the moment, dwarf deer boy, this is my Gu Ling Shen Tu Fang, I need to hunt the powerful wandering Gu Spirit to seize their energy, and then use this obsidian stone to transform it and supply Shen Tu Ya, now I understand why I want to curse the crow's life, right?" ”
The dwarf deer boy was still a little hesitant, even though he saw the strength of Shen Tuya, he still didn't immediately agree to join forces with Tang Yao to deal with the cursed crow.
"It doesn't feel good to watch someone else eat and you're hungry, right?" Tang Yao asked.
The dwarf deer boy glanced at Tang Yao and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I understand this feeling very well, I am always hungry, and then I give someone else what I have managed to get, I thought that person could protect him, but he just wanted to exploit us, but by the time we understood it, it was too late, because we couldn't resist that person."
The dwarf deer boy didn't say anything, but his eyes changed, and Tang Yao continued: "Although the sentence that people don't kill the heavens and the earth for their own sake is not good, it does make sense, if you don't devour enough energy, I'm afraid it won't last too long, and it will be a problem to even exist at that time, how can you become stronger, I'll help you kill the cursed crow, you take advantage of the situation to seize the energy on the corpse, let's take what we need, isn't it?" ”
Originally, it was the dwarf deer boy who came to Tang Yao to talk about cooperation, but now it has become Tang Yao talking to the dwarf deer boy to talk about the alliance, this time the dwarf deer boy finally agreed, it nodded at Tang Yao and said: "I can help you get the other seven wandering ancient spirits, at least let them not interfere to help the king, but we will not help you kill the king, you want its life afterwards, and it has nothing to do with me to absorb its energy, I just want the corpse." ”
"Deal, then let's hit the road." Tang Yao said.
Tang Yao followed the dwarf deer boy through the bamboo forest, walked a considerable distance, at this time he was already in the deep mountains, there was no one in sight, the farthest light was still the national highway on the horizon that he could see, this place was very quiet, there was neither the chirping of birds and beasts, nor the sound of insects and ants crawling across the ground.
"We're here, you come with me." The dwarf deer said back, and then quickly ran forward.
Tang Yao followed, and after running for a distance, the front suddenly opened up, and there was an open space in the bamboo forest surrounding the meeting, and at this time, there were many things similar to Kong Ming lanterns floating in this open space, but these Kong Ming lanterns were lit with green flames.
The Cursed Raven was standing in the middle of the clearing, and behind it were seven wandering spirits of different appearances, none of whom looked like they were good at all.
"Don't forget the deal between us." Tang Yao reminded in a low voice, and the dwarf deer boy nodded quietly and quickly ran towards the cursed crow, and then prostrate at the feet of the cursed crow and bowed deeply.
"My lord, I have brought the man, and he has promised to help you by bringing the remains out of the burrow." The dwarf deer said loudly.
