Chapter Seventy-Three: Helping Hands
"Idiot, are you crazy?" The youkai didn't expect his companion to choose to blow himself up so decisively, he didn't have time to react, and at the same time he was slightly injured by the big explosion caused by the other party.
Xu Chen saw that there were several scars on the monster's face, green blood slowly flowed down the wounds, and the grass was also pitted because of the fight between the two sides, and it was no longer a green world.
Xu Chen quietly condensed the true qi in his hand, clenched the cold ice sword, and was about to give him a fatal blow while this monster was in a daze, but suddenly found that there was another vision in his eyes.
Behind the monster, in the ground that had been blown up to expose the black dirt, dozens of faint beams of light suddenly shot out, and they swam like snakes in the air, making Xu Chen suddenly have the illusion that those beams of light were all living birds, and they were waving their wings to hover behind the tall monster, ready to give him a fatal blow.
Just as Xu Chen looked at these dancing beams of light in surprise, they suddenly converged, and a humanoid figure quietly appeared in the beams, holding a golden big knife in his hand, and slashed straight at the head of this unsuspecting monster!
"Boom!" There was a bang, like a huge block of ice shattering after being hit hard, and the monster's body burst open under the surprise attack of the enemy, and it fell heavily backwards.
As soon as he made a move, the silhouette of the figure formed by the convergence of the beams gradually became clear, and finally turned into an entity, and the monster that was cut in half by him turned into a puff of red smoke and dispersed with the wind after his body fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xu Chen could clearly see the hair, hands and feet of the person who attacked him, and finally even the facial features on his face were clearly visible. He suddenly closed his mouth in surprise, because he had already recognized who this new monster was at this time, and he was actually the first to jump out in the demon cave to compete with himself for Danmu Guo, that is, the monster he saw lying on the ground and seriously injured!
He looked a little depressed, the clothes on his body were ragged, Xu Chen had seen through the tattered clothes that the skin inside him was scarred, all of them were newly formed scars, at this moment he was holding a knife "whirring" panting, looking nervously at the movements around him.
Xu Chen couldn't believe his eyes, he settled down to see this monster from head to toe, and finally his gaze fell on the golden knife in his hand.
The tip of this demonic aura condensed knife may have turned crimson because it was stained with blood, exuding a terrifying blood light.
He had already been attacked by Xu Chen, and flew out upside down and disappeared. Xu Chen was confident that after this monster had suffered such a ferocious blow from himself, even if he didn't die, he would be greatly injured, why did he suddenly appear in front of his eyes now?
But something even more thrilling happened in Xu Chen's sight immediately, and before the monster who succeeded in the sneak attack could relax its vigilance, a sharp sword qi fell straight down from the sky, carrying a ferocious killing intent, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the top of the monster's head, and the speed was jaw-dropping!
The monster suddenly sensed that danger was coming, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet it!
The swords collided in an instant, sending out a series of dazzling sparks like meteors, and then they dispersed and disappeared.
The monster holding the golden knife was obviously inferior to its opponent, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew upside down like a rolling stone, and the blood marks in the air swayed a blood-colored trajectory.
The long sword seemed to be manipulated by an invisible big hand to change its posture in the air, and there seemed to be countless flying insects flying around the sword body, and finally converged into a human figure, Xu Chen had recognized him as the monster who spoke with a male duck voice.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "Strange, I saw him being split in half by the other party's knife just now, how could he come back to life in a blink of an eye?"
"Hehe, can you hide that little trick from Lao Tzu?" the monster grinned, and its original brown hair had turned red.
"That's true, the two of us have been cultivating together for eight hundred years, and we are all too familiar with each other. You and I have both practiced the art of false shapes, so we can naturally quickly transform under the powerful attacks of the enemy, and thus successfully escape. ”
This monster who had been taught by Xu Chen was obviously not lightly injured, and when he answered his companion's words, another mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he said with difficulty: "I have to admit that you have a unique advantage in studying pseudomorphism, because you are originally a millipede!"
Hearing that this monster had revealed the true body of his companion, Xu Chen snickered, and he finally understood the reason why these two monsters were hit hard and did not die.
False shape is a kind of spell in the seventy-two changes of the earth, and there is a common name for this spell in the world, that is, the doppelganger technique.
Previously, Xu Chen's seeing the red-haired monster being split in half with a single knife was just an illusion, but in fact, he used a fake distancing technique to split his body in two when the attack came, successfully avoiding the deadly attack of his companions.
Then this is also a good explanation for the reason why the other youkai didn't die in his hands when he fought Xu Chen, because this guy also used fake shapes to save the day at that time.
It's just that his cultivation is much lower than Xu Chen, although he was able to escape from Xu Chen's hands, but he was still hit hard by the other party, so after meeting with his companion, he made the other party have bad thoughts, wanting to take advantage of his accomplice's serious injury to devour his Yuan Shen to increase his cultivation.
As for his murderous companion, after Xu Chen knew that he was a millipede and cultivated to the essence, he was even less afraid.
This strange animal lives in the deep mountains and old forests, and its number is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see its whereabouts.
On the surface, it looks like an extremely slender red snake, once it encounters predation by natural enemies, it can quickly decompose its body, turn into thousands of insects and scatter and escape, and when it is far away from danger, these small insects slowly close together, reconstitute a snake and swagger away.
This is because it has a peculiar ability, so the world calls it a thousand-legged snake, not that it actually has a thousand feet on its body.
He has such a talent, and after cultivating to the essence, he learned the false shape technique, so even if the millipede encounters an enemy whose cultivation is much higher than him, it can easily escape, and many clever demon slayers have no way to take this kind of monster.
But Xu Chen didn't have any worries at all, because there were such monsters in Chongwu Divine Mountain, and Xu Chen naturally knew their ability to escape clearly.
It seems that the body has broken down into countless insects and fled in all directions, making it difficult for people to destroy them all, but Xu Chen knows that the millipede has a shortcoming that few people know about when they use this escape skill.
Among these countless insects, there is a female worm, only it maintains the main consciousness, and uses its mind to designate the escape route of the other subworms, and after reaching a safe place, it is also this female worm that uses her mind to summon the other subworms back to her side and reassemble into a snake body.
In other words, as long as the millipede's body can be accurately found and killed after its body is decomposed, the millipede will no longer be able to close into a complete snake body, and the result waiting for it can only be death.
At this time, he heard the millipede sneer and say to his companion, "If you want to be immortal, it will be easy, just promise me one condition." ”
"What conditions?" asked his companion angrily, knowing that he was playing another ghostly idea.
"Be my mount, accompany me all my life, and I won't eat you. When he said this, a lewd expression appeared on the monster's face.
"you!" As expected, his companion scolded, and the demonic energy in his body came out in a loud voice, blowing the tattered green robe to hunt, and the bun on his head also burst, and the long hair was spread out, and his face was as vicious as the Shura who had killed countless people.
"Hehe, then it's no wonder that Lao Tzu doesn't miss the old love!" This monster was not afraid at all, knowing that although his companion was in a rage, it seemed to be extremely vicious, but in fact, he was already very injured.
In an instant, a golden sword light shattered the void, and with incredible speed, it slashed at the monster that had driven him to a dead end!
Anger appeared in the monster's eyes, and the hideous color on the face continued to surge. And this time, he didn't dodge a sword and slammed it over.
The long sword instantly broke the opponent's sword momentum, followed by a flash of sword light, and stabbed his companion's throat with a backhand, revealing a murderous opportunity.
Just when his sword was only an inch away from the opponent's throat, he couldn't stab any further, because at the critical moment, Xu Chen made a move.
Xu Chen, who rushed up, had already raised the ice hammer formed by the condensation of true qi in his hand and smashed it into his head fiercely!
Now that he knows the secret of the millipede, Xu Chen has also changed his strategy to break the enemy, so he abandons the sword and uses the hammer, if this blow can't be successful, at least the enemy's body can be decomposed immediately, and then wait for the opportunity to find the female worm and kill it, so that he can no longer successfully escape.
With a loud bang, the earth and rocks splashed out, and the hammer smashed down, directly smashing the monster's body and the ground under his feet, and the crack extended to two or three feet away!
The monster's body suddenly shattered into powder and scattered into countless red bugs, which quickly burrowed into the cracks in the ground.
Xu Chen suddenly knew that this monster was extremely cunning, and wanted to escape with the help of the crack in the ground that he had smashed, but Xu Chen had long expected this situation, and there was another hammer between the lightning and the fire, but this time he smashed it heavily to the ground.
"Boom!"
The whole earth trembled, and countless mud and stones wrapped in the insects that burrowed into the ground and sprayed into the sky, leaving them unrecognizable.
Xu Chen's eyes widened and he searched for the female worm, but to find a female worm that was not much bigger than an ant in this chaotic scene was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and Xu Chen probably missed the opportunity to kill, thus allowing the monster to escape without a trace.
