Chapter Twenty-Three: The Locking Spirit Array Without Array Eyes

The smell on the candle dragon's body was very special, and the burnt smell was mixed with a trace of long-lasting coldness, very similar to the flames spewed out by the fire-based divine beast. But looking at the entire Divine Beast Spirit Realm, in terms of combat power, Candle Dragon is recognized as the first person, and there are few people who are qualified to fight him, let alone take the initiative to trouble him. In that case, which fire warrior left a trace?

Zhu Luan was full of doubts, and he really couldn't figure out who else in the world could have the power to fight with Candle Dragon except Ying Long. And it had the upper hand - the candle dragon's clothes were torn, which was really embarrassing......

Ah, by the way, this torn vest looks really old. Zhu Luan stared at the vest on the candle dragon, and suddenly remembered the martial arts novels that Zhu Yingwu sent back to him. I remember a plot that often appears in those books, that is, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero. When many heroes were in distress and despair, because they had no money, they had to work for others and became bodyguards and thugs. Could it be that Xiao Jiu is going to work somewhere?

Zhu Luan's thinking can be called ever-changing, from who dared to fight with Candle Dragon, suddenly jumped to he was so poor that he had to work for others, thinking about it, Zhu Luan's eyes when he looked at Candle Dragon slowly became full of sympathy and pity.

Hey, it's so pitiful, it's so bad......

After all, he almost watched Zhu Luan grow up, and Candle Long, who was now wrapped in inexplicable sympathy, was very experienced in this kind of thing, and at this time, when he looked at Zhu Luan's expression, he knew that he must be thinking about something strange. Candle Dragon didn't want to let him run all the way to make up for it, sighed, changed the topic and said, "You, sneaking out again?" ”

"No, Uncle Ying Long asked me to go down the mountain to do errands, I am going down the mountain through the passage in the light!" Speaking of this, Zhu Luan was somewhat depressed: "I just accidentally got off the wrong station and was tricked here by a strange woman." ”

"Tricking you to come here?" The candle dragon groaned for a moment and said, "Tell me what happened." ”

Zhu Luan and Candle Dragon have always been close, and they are clear at the moment, telling how Ying Long let himself go to Huche City, how he got off the wrong station, how he met a woman, and how that woman finally brought him here, and told him from the beginning.

Listening to him speak in silence, the eyes on the candle dragon's forehead narrowed slightly, and suddenly said, "What about that woman?" Take me to see it. ”

"Over there, on the hill." Zhu Luan raised his finger and said, "I was in a hurry to find you just now, and it's hard to say if she is still in place." However, a human should not be able to go far. ”

The distance that Zhu Luan ran over to find the candle dragon was completely heavenly for humans, but for the two of them, it was just a jump over a mountain stream, and returning the same way was just an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had returned to the place where Zhu Luan left just now. After looking around, the woman had already left.

Zhu Luan was a little curious about the purpose of the woman who deceived her, but she didn't take it to heart, if she wanted to harm herself, she had to do it first. Seeing that she was gone, he shrugged at the candle dragon and said, "I've run away, forget it, let's go!" ”

The candle dragon suddenly moved his eyes on his forehead, and then made a "silence" gesture at Zhu Luan, signaling Zhu Luan to follow and walking towards the southeast with him.

The two of them walked lightly, about 300 meters, and at the same time leaned against a pine and cypress tree and stopped. And in front of the side, the woman who tricked Zhu Luan into the mountains was lying on the ground with an iron face, rolling in pain.

When Zhu Luan left, the woman was obviously fine. But now, she was on the ground, her whole body shaking wildly like an electric shock. The strange shadow in the shape of a bird that Zhu Luan had seen at the station had been completely revealed on the woman's chest at this time. It looks like a turtledove, but I don't know what she used to hide it. And as the woman rolls, her appearance gradually begins to change. The woman's skin was cracked and shattered like molting, and after the skin was completely torn from the head, a thin and slender young man was finally revealed.

Zhu Luan glanced at the transparent shadow floating in front of the man's chest again, and at this time he could finally confirm that this guy pretending to be a human woman was a turtledove spirit.

The turtledove spirit also saw Zhu Luan and the candle dragon at this time, his body was shocked, and a look of struggle appeared in his eyes - it seemed that he not only knew who Zhu Luan was, but also recognized the candle dragon. He struggled with a gurgling in his throat, as if he had made up his mind, and screamed, "I didn't mean to hurt you!" You are a beast, you can't kill casually. Spare me, you detoxify me, I will tell you everything I know......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and then the white light flashed, and the human form disappeared, leaving only the corpse of a turtledove with dull fur on the ground.

"Not good!" Zhu Luan screamed, and wanted to run over to help, but was stopped by the candle dragon raising his hand.

The candle dragon said in a deep voice: "Don't go over. ”

"How?" Zhu Luan was stopped by him, looked at the candle dragon and said, "What if you want to be saved?" ”

The candle dragon shook his head, and as soon as he raised his hand, a little dark brown light popped out from his fingertips, hitting the turtledove, reminding, "Look. ”

Zhu Luan looked over inexplicably, and saw that the little light emitted by the candle dragon seemed to be a lighting switch, and after hitting it, with the turtle dove's corpse as the center of the circle, a circular circle with a diameter of about 10 meters slowly emerged. And in the center of the circle, strange blue runes were floating and jumping.

Zhu Luan frowned, and looked fixedly at the turtledove lying in the center of the magic circle: "Is it the Locking Spirit Array?" ”

The so-called Locking Spirit Array is a very peculiar imprisoning formation. The reason why this kind of magic array is peculiar is because the array is extremely simple, but any demon with a little spiritual power can easily be arranged by choosing a random item to make a array. And the effect of this magic circle is very powerful, after it is arranged, even if the great demon with a high level of Taoism, once he is locked in it, he will not be able to break through due to the restriction of spiritual power.

Therefore, the Locking Spirit Array can be called perfect in terms of casting difficulty and casting effect: the threshold is low, the casting is simple, and the effect is good. It was supposed to be one of the magic circles that the spirit people must know, but the popularity rate was not high. Because this circle has a fatal flaw - it is very easy to break on the outside.

That is to say, after this magic circle is arranged, it is clearly placed there, and the target must walk in willingly, and ensure that he will not break this magic circle before he walks in, and finally, he must ensure that no one will break the formation to rescue the target after he is trapped.

In other words, as long as they are not blind, as long as there are other companions around, no one will be trapped by this "Locking Spirit Array".

Zhu Luan was in a complicated mood for a while, and his eyes flickered over the distorted face of the turtledove spirit before he died. He said, "I didn't mean to hurt you," but...... Zhu Luan pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, he had worked so hard to trick himself into the mountains, did he plan to trap himself with such a chicken rib formation? Isn't that counterintuitive?

The candle dragon standing next to him waved his hand, and was about to destroy this magic circle, when Zhu Luan's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he stopped: "Wait! Something is wrong! ”

Well? The candle dragon looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhu Luan raised his hand and pointed at the turtledove corpse in the center of the array: "Why doesn't this Locking Spirit Array have an array eye?" ”

If the Locking Spirit Array wants to be arranged, it must have an array eye, and the array eye must be a dead thing.

The Soul Locking Array, as the name suggests, locks up "living beings". Relying on the urging formation, it forms a kind of absolutely static balance formation. Except for the living beings who enter the formation, all other beings need to be absolutely static dead things. Life is against death, change is against change. In this way, the living beings can be locked in order to "be locked up". Therefore, if a living thing is used as an eye for the formation when the formation is arranged, it is life for life, change for change, and the spiritual energy of the Locking Spirit Array leaks out, and it will no longer exist.

But in this Locking Spirit Array, there was an open space in the center of the array, and there was nothing left except the corpse of the turtledove spirit.

Zhu Luan circled around the Locking Spirit Array, but still found nothing except the turtledove's corpse. He thought about it, raised his hand to break the formation, and walked to the turtledove corpse to inspect the corpse. At this glance, Zhu Luan was stunned.

He looked up at the candle dragon and asked uncertainly, "Xiao Jiu...... Can the Locking Spirit Array be placed on a living creature? ”

The candle dragon was silent for a moment and shook his head firmly: "There is no way. ”

"That ......"

Zhu Luan looked down at the corpse of the turtledove and was speechless for a while.

Why is the eye on the turtledove's body? The Locking Spirit Array must use the dead thing as the eye of the array, which is the most basic condition. This turtledove was still alive just now, and it was impossible for a living creature to be an eye.

Wait a minute...... Living things, dead things - if the moment the formation is formed, the eyes of the formation have changed from life to death, and the corpse is also a dead thing!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Luan couldn't help but feel excited: In this way, from the moment this trap was laid, the turtledove spirit was already destined to become a victim.

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, Zhu Luan couldn't help but hold his breath, and quickly went through all the processes of meeting the turtledove spirit in his mind - meeting at the station, taking himself to the depths of the mountain, looking at his watch from time to time, calling for help before he died, suddenly dying, and the spirit locking array was formed......

With the expression of the turtledove spirit just now, he didn't seem to know that he was going to die. That is, there are other people who have studied the method of placing the Locking Spirit Array on the body of living creatures, and they want to trap themselves.

It's a simple strategy, but it's so vicious. The person who set up the formation didn't even have to come forward, just a little poison was needed to lock him here with one life.

Zhu Luan subconsciously looked into the depths of the mountains and forests, who was it that cost his life to trap himself?
