Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mist
At this time, the fog was so thick that I couldn't see the behemoth clearly.
Yuan Tiangang ordered the dozens of soldiers wrapped in banners, holding the order flag, standing in columns, Yuan Tiangang stood in the center of the altar, holding the sword of Fenshui Town, shouted a spell, and then pulled out the sword.
This is some kind of formation, and I saw a gust of wind forming from the formation and blowing towards the river.
The thick fog was blown to both sides by the wind, and it dispersed in an instant, finally revealing the true face of the monster.
It is shaped like an ape, with a collapsed nose, a convex forehead, a white head, and a pair of golden eyes. He is 100 feet tall, powerful, and terrifying.
Yuan Tiangang stood there, also shocked, gasped, looked at me and said, "Wuzhiqi! ”
No branches?
That is the legendary ancient water monster, when Dayu controlled the water, it also took a lot of effort to suppress it.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the water-dividing earth sword in his hand, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that my sword won't be able to suppress Wuzhiqi." ”
I wonder what kind of magic sword this is, and listening to what the quarry worker said just now, this is a sword that Yuan Tiangang invited here, and Li Qingfeng may not have seen it. Why don't I ask?
As soon as I asked the question, the Wuzhi Qi in the water stepped on the water, carrying the rolling waves.
Yuan Tiangang just said: "This water town earth sword is the father of the ancient Dayu, Kun, the magic sword used to control the water, but at that time, there was no way to encounter this Wuzhi Qi, so that Kun failed to control the water and was killed." Now the plan is to abandon my old life, borrow the holy sword, and fight to the death, hoping to stop this ancient water monster. Qingfeng, you quickly ran to the top of the mountain, lit a beacon fire, and hoped for reinforcements from General Li. ”
When I heard this, I felt a sense of sadness, and I still handed the Qin Wang Sword to Yuan Tiangang.
And I, taking over the Fenshui Town Earth Sword.
I wanted the sergeant on the altar to tell the people on the mountain in the language of the flag to light a beacon fire, but when I looked back, it was still foggy, and I couldn't see the mountain clearly, and the flag naturally couldn't communicate.
And if it is transmitted through the sound of the drum, and the order has been given before, the drum sounds, and the workers in the quarry are afraid that they will not understand the drum language, but may mistakenly think that it is safe, so they will not dare to use it.
In fact, I already knew in my heart that Yuan Tiangang realized that Wuzhiqi was difficult to deal with, so he used this as an excuse to get me out of danger.
Although Li Qingfeng's Taoist skills are profound, he is clever and powerful in divination. Not good at actual combat.
Yuan Tiangang took out the sword of King Qin and shouted to the soldiers: "If the water monster is not removed, the people will never have peace, all the dead soldiers today, please follow Yuan and swear to eradicate the demon to the death, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness." ”
After speaking, he raised his sword, took a step, and recited a mantra.
I felt a gust of air, Yuan Tiangang's aura was fully opened, and behind him stood a golden Daoist, holding a sword, ready to fight.
The dead soldiers have also gathered into a Tiangang array to guard around the original Tiangang.
I followed the development of the story, took the Fenshui Town Earth Sword, and climbed up the mountain with Senior Brother Hong.
Not long after he went up the mountain, he turned around and saw that the Wuzhi Qi had already arrived at the altar and fought with the Golden Daoist.
And the Tiangang array below blocked the invasion of this flood.
It was drizzling and the mountains were still covered with thick fog.
The mountain road was slippery, and Senior Brother Hong and I supported each other and walked up with difficulty, but soon, the back was obscured by fog, and we couldn't see clearly, only the sound of fighting and screaming was heard, and we gradually moved away.
As we continued to climb up, the fog around us was getting thicker.
Suddenly, we heard screams from the woods, as if we were right ahead.
Senior Brother Hong and I both stopped and looked at each other, now that the flood has not come up, is it the scream of someone who has lost his foot and been injured?
Then, screams were heard from the other direction.
At the same time, I heard someone in the woods shouting: there is something in the fog, everyone run away.
This sentence alerted me and Senior Brother Hong, there was fog all around, what could be in it?
Is it a ghost again?
We both drew our swords, one left and one right, defending separately, back to back, diagonally and continuing to go up.
Suddenly, I saw blood running down the moss on the ground in front of me.
Senior Brother Hong and I have a good heart, and we are both taking Yu steps, walking forward, ready to fight at any time.
Not far away, under the pine trees, lay a headless corpse, blood gushing from the superior carotid artery.
Looking at the corpse, the head had fallen off, but the limbs seemed to still have nerves, convulsions constantly, I looked at it, and my heart felt sick to my stomach.
We stood guard with our backs and looked around, the man had just died, and the murderer might still be around here.
Senior Brother Hong asked, "Do you feel that the rain is getting heavier?" ”
Although it was raining lightly at this time, I didn't feel much change, and when I turned my head, I saw Senior Brother Hong covered in blood.
Could it be that when did he die? What I have in front of me is actually Senior Brother Hong's corpse?
But he's been with me all the time.
Senior Brother Hong also saw my strange appearance, reached out and touched his head, saw the blood on his hand, and then looked up and stayed there in shock.
I looked up, and I saw a head staring at us on the branch above, and from time to time blood gathered in drops and fell down.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed that the eyes of the skull moved.
Is it still alive?
Senior Brother Hong poked it with his sword, and the head fell to the ground, rolling a few times, only to see that there was a big hole behind the skull, and the brain marrow had been sucked dry. And in the hole of the skull, there are many leeches attached to them.
It's these wriggling leeches that make the eyes seem to move.
What the hell is it that does such a horrible thing in such a short period of time.
Senior Brother Hong examined the head and headless corpse, and said: "This murderer is not a human, it seems to be an animal, the first bite is to bite people's Adam's apple, put people to death, and then bite off the neck, remove the head, pry open the back of the head with a sharp weapon, and suck the brain marrow." And all this set of actions is estimated to take less than a minute. ”
Listening to what he said, I was terrified and disgusted.
I felt my throat dry and the adrenaline was pumping again.
We have to be more careful, otherwise we won't even have time to struggle for a minute, and we'll be dead.
But how can we prevent them?
I thought of aura.
These monsters have killed countless people, and they have sucked people's brains, and their bodies are naturally full of evil energy, which can definitely be sensed with their aura.
I told Senior Brother Hong my thoughts, but Senior Brother Hong shook his head, it turned out that he couldn't open his aura at all now.
Now it's up to me to sense.
I tried my luck while recalling the mantra that Sister Xuanji taught me at the Zhangjia Clan Ancestral Hall.
Soon, I felt it, and the qi in my chest gushed out, and at this time, behind me, there was a black-robed Taoist who was more than a foot high.
Unexpectedly, these days, my cultivation has grown, although I am not as powerful as the ancestor, but the size of this black-robed Taoist has made me very satisfied.
Senior Brother Hong looked at the Taoist behind me and said in surprise: "I can't see it, you are a little Taoist of the Louguan Sect, you really have some ability, the Taoist masters in the Guanzhong always say that the aura Taoist is only those who are gifted and talented, and those with ordinary qualifications need to practice for at least a few decades." ”
This time, it was led out so quickly, I don't know if it was because of my diligence or because I changed my life against the sky.
Before I could rejoice in Senior Brother Hong's compliment, I sensed that something was approaching us.
I gestured with my hand to be quiet, and then pointed in the direction behind Senior Brother Hong, and I sensed that there was a bad qi flowing in this direction.
Senior Brother Hong also turned around, half-crouching, staring there with his sword in hand.
The surroundings were so quiet that the quarrymen on the mountain were probably running to the top of the mountain, and we could only hear the sound of rain falling on the leaves.
Over there, a shadow slowly emerged in the mist.
It seems to be only one meter tall, and it is leaning over and slowly moving this way.
Senior Brother Hong took out the flashlight he was carrying from his waist, suddenly turned it on, and shone it in that direction.
I saw a monster lying there.
He walked on his heels with limbs supported by gibbons, his hair was red, and his face was like that of an old lady with a cat's face, and his face was full of wrinkles.
The eyes were like cat's eyes, glowing green, and the mouth was red and oozing blood.
It was illuminated and stopped in place.
Then he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his mouth was full of sharp teeth like an awl, and there were tiny leeches attached to them. It roared, then crouched down on its hind feet and lunged at us.
