Chapter 7: The Purple Light and the Silver Light
Mu Yan stretched out his hand to carefully feel the strange energy that gradually dissipated in the cat demon's body, opened his eyes, and sighed a little helplessly.
It's already the third.
Although he also wanted to stop and study the energy he named Demon Power, after several attempts he had figured out that as soon as these monsters died, this energy would quickly drain from their bodies, and that time would not be enough for him to research anything.
It's not that he hasn't thought about finding a way to extract these energies before they disappear and preserve them for slow study, but he has to admit that energetics is indeed a broad and profound discipline, and it is not something that a young wizard like him who has just started can figure it out at once, especially when it comes to unknown energies, he has almost exhausted all the means he can use now, but he has gained nothing.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Mu Yan has no way, in fact, there is a simpler and more crude method, that is, to catch a live one directly, and directly conduct live experiments like the original study of the shadow wolf, but this method will definitely not work now, with Mu Yan's current strength, it is not difficult to kill a monster with the strength of the cat demon just now, but it is difficult to control it without any tools.
Mu Yan clapped his hands and stood up, there was no look of disappointment on his face, anyway, there are still two months to go, and he still has a lot of opportunities to deal with these monsters!
He straightened his clothes and continued down the alley.
This alley was specially asked when he was healing the shopkeeper's wounds, and it led not to the center of Zhuangzi, but to the direction of the edge of Zhuangzi near the mountains.
In fact, the tourist named Li Tan was right, the reason why the four of them dared to explore alone without hesitation from the large group was because of their confidence in their own strength.
In this chaotic situation, if they have the ability to explore alone, why should they be mixed in with each other's unfamiliar team?
And that's only part of the reason.
There is a more important reason, which is the performance of the shopkeeper named Hazi in the whole process.
After such a hellish blow, in the face of the dead corpses everywhere, although the shopkeeper was frightened, he didn't show much nervousness, and his face didn't show a look of surprise and surprise.
Obviously, he had long been accustomed to such things as monster attacks, but this time he escaped death, which made him a little frightened, and then by the time Mu Yan treated him, he had completely regained his composure, and he didn't show any worry about the village being breached.
What does this mean, it says that this kind of yokai attack has happened many times, and none of them have succeeded!
Obviously, there are still some hidden forces in this Zhuangzi that are not aware of the fact that you are resisting the attack of the monsters, which is the foundation and heritage of this Zhuangzi that can stand next to this mountain for so many years without being breached.
The shopkeeper showed great trust in Zhuangzi's defensive power!
This is also the reason why Mu Yan and three other people want to go in this direction, although the battlefield is chaotic and dangerous, it is also the best time to collect first-hand information!
In that place, as long as they can survive, the offensive power of the monsters and the garrison of Zhuangzi will be unreservedly displayed in front of them, which is an important reference for them to make future plans.
And judging from the demeanor of the shopkeeper, the monster will never be able to attack, and he may be beaten up and scattered at some point, and he missed this opportunity, and he doesn't know when it will be next time!
Although the four of them all have their own goals and ideas, at least they all saw this, so they broke away from the team and chose a more radical way to participate in this world.
As for the other tourists, perhaps some careful people also noticed this, but maybe they wanted stability, or maybe they didn't think they were strong enough, so they finally followed the big team.
Of course, how many people followed the big team because of the half of Xiao Er's words, it is unknown.
……
By this time, half an hour had passed since the tourists were attacked at the nameless makeshift inn, and most of the survivors had crowded into the center of Zhuangzi.
The periphery of Zhuangzi suddenly became empty, but the liveliness was not reduced at all.
The roar of the youkai and the sound of the destruction of the house overlapped, and the sound was no worse than the previous flow of people!
If you look down from the sky above Luojiazhuang now, you will find that at this time, the main peripheral lanes of Luojiazhuang near the Lion Camel Mountains have been occupied by small groups, and a cloud of dust can be seen almost every 100 meters.
Shouts of killing and the sound of houses collapsing came from it.
There, there are humans who are entangled in youkai, and there are humans who are entangled in youkai!
……
Rumble!!
A stone wall was crushed, and countless stones fell, striking the body that had long since lost its breath.
"Brother Jia, I'll entangle this pig demon, you take your sister-in-law and Li'er to the alley!" A hurried voice came out, and I saw a tall and well-proportioned man, dressed in purple, and holding a purple sword in his left hand, shouting as he retreated.
The sword in his hand has been swung into a purple shadow by him, as if pieces of purple light are spilling out of his hand, and then he lingers in the world and is reluctant to disperse!
The surrounding rubble was swept up by the glow, and immediately turned into finer dust, and the wind and clouds whirred with the sound of sword dance.
Beautiful, but dangerous!
On the rivers and lakes, this set of swordsmanship has a nice name, called Zixia Swordsmanship, which is a sword dance specially choreographed for dancing girls in the court of the Bhikshu Kingdom, wielding it like a piece of Zixia flowing, which is very pleasing to the eye, but since a swordsman used this set of swordsmanship to kill one hundred and eight bandits in a row eight years ago, no one dares to laugh at this set of swordsmanship.
And this famous swordsman is naturally called "Zixia Sword"!
He is a master who has already become famous, even in the vast rivers and lakes, he can be called a hero!
But at this time, the hero was retreating step by step, and the fine beads of sweat on his face and the constantly moving steps showed his struggle at this time.
In the beautiful sword light in front of him, a giant wild boar with black hair standing up like barbs and twice his size was rampage in anger.
This purple glow that made countless bandits smell change color sprinkled on it, and even the most superficial skin could not be broken!
Why is it a rough-skinned and thick-skinned master...... Zixia Jian felt a little helpless in his heart.
Compared with his helplessness, the pig demon trapped in the glow was very angry!
The mere fact that it was being held back by a human made it feel like its self-esteem had taken a serious hit.
How many pigs can have this kind of time in their lives when they are blocked by food?
Not to mention the little one in front of him who has his favorite food of fine skin and tender meat!
If it weren't for the fact that this piece of sword light always attacked its eyes, nose, mouth and other vulnerable places, it would have crushed this area seven or eight times ago!
But the more it does, the more it gets angry!
Wait!! Block me!! Eat!!!
It roared words of unknown meaning in its mouth, and the little reason in its eyes was already on the verge of collapse, and the unconcealable tyranny that came out of its bones made Zixia Sword a little frightened.
"Brother Yin, I can't go!" Not long after Zixia Jian's words fell, another voice that forcibly suppressed his nervousness came from behind him, "You are strong in martial arts, if you really can't leave for a while, you will take Li'er first!" Leave me alone! ”
I saw that by the wall, several people wearing guard clothes and a steel knife formed a circle to protect the family of three inside.
Through the gap between the guards, it can be seen that a slightly chubby middle-aged man is holding a steel knife in both hands to firmly block a mother and son behind him.
The voice came from the mouth of the slightly chubby middle-aged man.
At this point, he seemed as nervous as the guards on the perimeter.
Because around here, several little demons are wandering around these guards, and if they relax a little, they will rush up.
Don't look at these little demons as the lowest class of these monsters, but the speed and strength of long-term cultivation are still not comparable to these well-trained guards.
If it weren't for the well-equipped equipment on their bodies and the large number of people, this group of guards would really not dare to deal with them on the spot like this!
The swordsman named Yin Feng just gritted his teeth when he heard the words coming from behind, did not speak, and then urged the internal force again to force the pig demon back.
The man's full name behind him is Jia Changfu, and he is a merchant in the bhikshu country, relying on a little relationship in the yazhong, he got a license to sell grain, although the scale is not large, but relying on the business with this Luo Jiazhuang several times in recent years, his net worth is also rich.
More importantly, it was this powerless businessman who saved himself from a serious injury and a coma on the outskirts of the Bhikshu Kingdom four years ago, and since then, he has stayed in Jia's house as a half-guard and half-friend.
Yin Feng understands very well, if he really let this person who is also a benefactor and friend die here today, then what will he use to face his true heart in the future? What qualifications do you have to lift the sword in your hand and call yourself a chivalrous man?
Even if he dies here today, he won't abandon his friends and leave alone!
As for Lil...... I just hope he doesn't blame his uncle!
His eyes became more and more firm, and the purple glow in Yin Feng's hand became more and more intense, almost completely submerging the pig demon in it!
The sharp sword light forced the pig demon to retreat step by step for a while!
But this was already his limit, and in this case, he no longer had time to be distracted to help Jia Changfu's side.
It would be nice if there were reinforcements...... The thought crossed his mind, but fell silent for a moment.
He knew very well that now the guards in Zhuangzi were completely entangled with the attacking monsters, and the other colleagues who came must have been fighting with the monsters in other places, and he had been entangled here for so long and no one had passed, so he thought that there was no helper who could pull out his hand in this vicinity.
And at this moment, an angry and tyrannical roar came out from his thick sword shadow like a ball of purple light, Yin Feng was startled, only to feel a strong force coming from his sword body!
He exclaimed, and his extremely fast reaction made him reluctantly retract the sword body, but the huge force that had been transmitted to his wrist still made him fly back uncontrollably!
With a muffled snort, he looked forward angrily, and in the bloodshot that flew out of the corner of his mouth, a pair of tyrannical blood-red eyes quickly grew larger in his sight!
Can't hide!
Evil beasts!!
His clenched palm almost crushed the hilt of his sword, he knew that he could not escape, but even if he died, he would inevitably leave an unforgettable wound on the evil obstacle in front of him!
He forcibly lifted his qi, the sword body rotated, the purple light floated, and then ...... Then he shouted in anger and tilted his head sharply.
A silver sword light grazed his scalp and burst out from the shadows behind him!
