Chapter 145: Heaven Devouring Technique: Covering the Sky and Covering the Sun
Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng still had some ideas about how to deal with the Ape Red Demon, after all, the two had fought him once a hundred years ago. They took it for granted that the Ape Red Demon would still use his trick of releasing the undead captives from his body at first, but it was clear that this time he was trying to use his trick directly.
"As I have already said, my Sky Devouring Technique has reached a whole new level, not unlike when you saw me a hundred years ago. You'll be lucky enough to witness all of this today, so it's best to stick with it for a long time, and if you can't hold it and hang up, it's just too boring! Ape Red Demon said arrogantly, the words he said before he started to use his stunt made Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng feel bottomless.
"No more nonsense! Didn't I expect a big monster like you to need to build momentum for yourself by saying so many opening lines?! Qianqi pondered whether to summon the Divine Dragon Fire Bow first or use the Hydrator to summon the Jade Cicada Sword to fight him and provoke him.
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a person with dragon blood on his body, it's a bit interesting! Then the show begins! ”
As soon as the ape red demon's words fell, all the lights in the inner hall began to become several times more dazzling than before, and he opened his arms and opened his mouth at the same time, and released those thick pipes from his mouth and shouted: "Cover the sky and the sun!" ”
Although he had seen the tubes spit out of his mouth before, seeing these tubes coming out of his pure copper body and writhing in the air still made Xia Qiu feel that his stomach continued to roll, and a wave of vomiting followed.
Like her companions, she didn't quite understand what the ape demon was going to do with the tubes, and this time she couldn't find the undead captives at the end of the tubes, but soon something even more incredible happened.
The tubes in the ape's mouth began to absorb the light in the room quickly, and the places it absorbed were not as simple as turning off the lights, but caused an absolute darkness. The eyes, which have completely lost their sense of light, make them feel like they are immersed in ink, struggling and groping because of fear. But the strange thing is that the distance between me and my companions just now is not very far, but at this time, I can't touch each other at all, I wonder if it is an illusion brought by darkness? Everyone has become an island in the eternal night, ready to face the unknown enemy at any time with this uneasy feeling.
"Xia Qiu, where are you?" Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qian Qi shouted almost at the same time.
"Sister Xia, are you next to me?" Lingyu also called out to her.
But they didn't get any response, and they couldn't help but worry.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
There were only bursts of children's strange laughter in the hall, echoing from near and far.
"Shh It is the voice of Mochizuki.
He remembered that he had been in a similar situation when he had fought the Green Goblin in the Atlas of Commerce, and that he had used his opponents not by his eyes but by his hearing, and that it was time to use his hearing to good use again. He continued to say to several teenagers, "I think something grabbed Xia Qiu, I can probably identify the location, we keep talking to each other, keep up with me!" ”
Several teenagers followed Mochizuki's voice as they explored in the endless darkness, and the laughter of the children still rang in their ears from time to time, and sometimes the laughter even seemed to be in their ears, causing Senqi to swing his sword and slash.
"Hey, be careful! It almost hurt me! Ling Yu complained on the side.
"You must be attentive, the Ape Red Demon will capture the undead of his patrons after their death, and I think he has already released the undead of those children while it is dark." Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded the others.
"Knowing that he has this hand, why didn't you say it earlier, it is likely that they are the ones who caught Xia Qiu!" Qian Qi was somewhat disappointed after knowing that Ouyang Xiaoleng had forcibly traveled back in time and fought off the Ape Red Demon with Xia Qiu.
"Now is not the time to complain to each other! No matter what grievances you have with each other, let them go, and don't use weapons blindly, because if you don't do well, you will hurt your companions! Mochizuki held them, although he was usually in a state of hanging children, but at the critical moment, he still had to rely on his age and experience to suppress a few teenagers, so that they would not mess with themselves.
Ouyang Xiaoleng also felt that he was looking for Xia Qiu just now, and he didn't take into account that he should tell his companion everything he knew about his opponent unreservedly in the cooperation, and being taught by Mochizuki made him sober up a lot.
Qian Qi even felt that at such a critical moment, he shouldn't hold on to something that was irrelevant to the battle, and after taking a deep breath, he said to Ouyang Xiaoleng: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now!" ”
"It doesn't matter, the fox's sense of smell should also play a certain role in the dark, me and Mochizuki are the main forces in the front, you and Lingyu are in the back, now we need to save Xia Qiu first, and the rest will be talked about later!" Ouyang Xiaoleng responded to him with relief.
"Good!" Qianqi's heart knot was temporarily dissolved, and his answer was very refreshing.
Mochizuki and Ouyang Xiaoleng judged their position in the air based on the sounds and breaths made by the undead captives, while Qianqi and Lingyu followed closely. They found that the undead were scattered, and that they were constantly changing formations, probably to confuse them.
Ouyang Xiaoleng tried his best not to be disturbed by them, carefully searching for Xia Qiu's scent, and although they tried their best to hide her scent, he still determined her location. She must have been entangled in a number of undead captives, most likely covering her mouth and making her unable to speak, so that her breath became weaker and weaker.
He could feel her call, it was supposed to be a telepathy only between the signatories, humans were the most eye-dependent animals, and her fear was palpable when they were attacked in such an environment, and the thought of it made his heart ache, so he had to save her as quickly as possible.
"Xia Qiu, don't be afraid!" He knew she could hear and shouted in her direction. He had to snatch her back from the hands of those undead with his bare hands, and then he turned to his companions behind him and said, "Put away your weapons, so as not to hurt Xia Qiu!" ”
The ape red demon couldn't help but sigh that this demon king fox boy was really affectionate and righteous to the human girl contractor, and he did not hesitate to give up the group of undead captives who used weapons against him, he originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to let him seriously injure her with his own hands and even take her life, but now it seems that there is no such possibility.
Ouyang Xiaoleng stretched out his hand and felt his hand pass through the body of an undead captive, and a cry of "oops" rang out in his ears, but when he struck again, they were no longer there.
With the flow of air around him and the faint sound, Mochizuki determined that the group of undead had moved around him, and he quietly grabbed one of them and pulled it outward, which seemed to have a chain reaction, only to feel a few of them plop to the ground one after another.
Qianqi and Lingyu immediately cooperated, and stepped forward to capture the undead who had landed. Ouyang Xiaoleng and Mochizuki continued to track down the other undead who were still moving with Xia Qiu, and once again succeeded in catching them.
"Whew......" Xia Qiu's breathing suddenly sounded, as if someone who had been in the water for a long time had finally been able to surface, and she gasped for breath. Just now, because her hands and feet were all tightly wrapped around those undead, and her mouth was covered by them, she almost suffocated, and the long-term lack of oxygen in her brain also made her body stiff.
She sat down on the ground, a pair of hands suddenly appeared and wrapped around her tightly, at first she was subconsciously resisting because of the terrible experience just now, but soon she knew who the owner of these hands was, the strange body temperature that was cold and warm would never be anyone but him, she buried her whole face in the crook of his arm and slowly regained her strength.
"Are you alright? Didn't get hurt, did you? In the dark, Ouyang Xiaoleng's voice sounded in Xia Qiu's ears, and she could even feel his breath patting warmly on her face.
"Hmmm! I'm so useless! Xia Qiu said.
She felt that she had caused trouble for everyone, but she didn't know that this was part of the Ape Red Demon plan, and he knew the weight she had in the heart of the demon king fox boy. But now it seems that not only the demon king fox boy, but also the son of the dragon king and another boy are also very protective of her, as long as she makes good use of this, it should be no problem to conquer them.
"Are you still going to play this trick? What kind of skill is it to hide in the shadows all the time! The Thousand Riders roared.
"I don't think he's a big hero of the Demon Spirit Clan at all, it's almost the same to say that he's a shrunken turtle!" Lingyu also chimed in.
"Haha, if you can find me, this game will automatically end!" The Ape Red Demon said with a smile that was not in a hurry.
Then he unleashed the demon spell and released more undead captives, and gave them weapons, although these undead were weaker in combat, they were able to move freely in the dark, but they made up for the shortcomings in other aspects.
Mochizuki heard that the number of enemies around him was increasing, so he said to the others, "The five of us try to stand out as much as possible, and we are only responsible for destroying the undead around us!" As soon as someone finds out about the Ape Red Devil, tell everyone! ”
"This time they've got weapons in their hands!" Ouyang Xiaoleng smelled a lot of metal in the air, so he added.
Then Ouyang Xiaoleng guarded the center, Xia Qiu, Qianqi, Lingyu and Mochizuki guarded the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest in the hall, showing their respective weapons and preparing to start a second round of duel with the enemy in the dark.
"I'm not far from you!" Ouyang Xiaoleng shouted to the east.
"Me too!" Qianqi, who was in the south, also said to Xia Qiu.
"And me!" Ling Yu wanted to protect his sister Xia's mood, and he definitely didn't lose to the two other teenagers.
Mochizuki shook her head and laughed, thinking to herself that it was good to be young. At this time, a yin wind passed through his left, and he flashed to the side, and the Moon Shadow Knife in his left hand collided with the undead's weapon with the sound of a bell. Because these undead belong to children, they should be small in stature, and their strength is naturally not great, but he didn't expect that the collision with their weapons made him feel that this was not the case. They were far more powerful than he thought, or was there some other reason?
He couldn't think about it anymore, and the other party tried to attack him from the right again, and he pushed the undead who were holding against the Moon Shadow Knife away, and then turned around and swept away with a knife by hearing.
Boom, after the sound of a weapon landing, the undead captives who had wrapped around him temporarily dispersed in all directions.
