Text II. The Capable Speak (4)
In the middle of the night.
Lin Yufei quietly went out alone, went up to the roof and sat down. The nights in winter were very cold, but for someone like him who had been cultivating for many years, it was nothing. When he first arrived in the birthplace, he couldn't sleep a little, and Mo Li always felt that there was something subtle when he glanced at him. It was a look of admiration, a little curiosity, and a little pity, and it seemed a pity. He believed that he had never seen that person, so such a look was a little incomprehensible, could there be something in him that he didn't know?
The breeze behind him sounded, and a moment later a somewhat low and somewhat soft voice sounded: "Can't you sleep?"
As he spoke, Zhang Zhongjian sat down beside him. Lin Yufei turned sideways: "Senior brother." ”
"Do you still have something you don't understand?" Zhang Zhongjian asked, "I saw that you wanted to stop talking. ”
"It's not an important thing, and I don't think the teacher has anything I don't want to say, so I won't ask. Lin Yufei turned his face to the front, looking at the dark night, as if he didn't want people to see his face clearly.
Zhang Zhongjian sighed: "I heard the teacher say that you are very introverted, I still don't believe it, but now it seems that it is still excessive." Senior brother, sometimes, you have to ask what you should ask, I don't know if you and the little junior brother are awake now, the teacher means that he wants you to slowly adapt to the battle. However, I still want to remind you that what we do will face a life-and-death situation at any time, and if there is confusion in our hearts and cause hesitation, it will be fatal at a critical moment. ”
"I see, thank you, brother. Lin Yufei turned his head, "Then I'll ask, the teacher has explained so much, but he hasn't said what he came to T City for, just to find me and Senior Brother Ye? Is there something going on here?"
"That's smart!" Zhang Zhongjian nodded, "Although it hurts a little to say it, you and junior brother are indeed not the main reason why we came, the reason why we came here is because in the past two months, there have suddenly been a ridiculously large number of strange beasts here, and we have to come here to clean up, and we need to find out the source." ”
"The source?"
"Just now the teacher also talked about the origin of the strange beast, so you must also know that if it is an unconscious conceptual fragment interference, the probability of a powerful strange beast appearing is very small, almost negligible, but since the teacher stumbled upon the first strange beast two months ago, we have disposed of more than a dozen strange beasts, and the strength is not low; This indicates that there are conscious interveners in the vicinity. Judging by the strength of the alien beast, the conceptual level of this interferer will not be lower than that of the secondary concept, and the scale of the fragments will not be small in terms of the number and speed of the alien beast. ”
"I understand," Lin Yufei nodded, "That is, we have a powerful enemy appearing." ”
"It doesn't have to be an enemy," Zhang Zhongjian said, "and it's very difficult for someone who has just acquired a large-scale concept fragment to control their power, and the situation I just said will arise." In other words, the conceptual ability is a newcomer. In that case, if we are lucky, maybe we can win him over to our side. Speaking of which, Mo Li has the ability to see, that is, what I just said, he may have known it earlier. So although he came to hunt strange beasts, he didn't necessarily mean to entrap newcomers. ”
"Speaking of seeing, I remember," Lin Yufei asked, "Mo Li said to the teacher before leaving, 'How much more can you see' or something, did the teacher ...... before?"
"You guessed it," Zhang Zhongjian said, "the teacher has always held the concept of seeing for thousands of years, but just one hundred and ten years ago, the teacher's ability to see began to weaken and disappeared completely within a few years. It's just five or six years after that, we met Mo Li, and we just gained the ability to see, I really don't know what God thinks. ”
"Heaven and earth are not kind, and there is nothing strange about dogs. Besides, as I said, conceptual ability is not a human ability, and it is never held for life, so that's why we have to cultivate the Tao. Yun Huan's voice suddenly came from behind him, and both the senior brothers were startled, only to find that Yun Huan was already standing behind him, and Xin Lan was standing next to him, "Don't chat, just wake up, a strange beast has appeared." Follow me. ”
After a while, Ye Fei also followed, and the five masters and apprentices quietly advanced in the night, and soon came to a small forest on the outskirts of the city. Ye Fei sighed quietly: "It's good that it's not in the urban area, otherwise it would be lively." ”
"No," Zhang Zhongjian said, "All alien beasts have a short period of creature-like juvenile beast stage when they are born, and they will not easily approach humans during this time, probably because they are afraid." ”
"That's right," Lin Yufei interjected in a low voice, "Didn't that Mo Li's ability see, why did we arrive first?"
"I'm just a few small props from the Ghost Valley Gate, which can detect the fluctuation of conceptual energy," Yun also said, "Silence, let's go over." ”
Several people approached quickly, and soon the strange beast appeared in view. At the same time, several people were stunned at the same time. Zhang Zhongjian blurted out, "What is this?"
It was a huge creature, shaped like a fat civet cat with an earthy gray body, four or five meters long, with a thick and long tail dangling around behind it, and countless huge mallet-like scales on the tail, which made a rattling sound with the shaking of the tail; a large mouth covering the sky, two small nostrils attached to the center of the upper lip, and two giant eyes above were shining red.
Lin Yufei was also stunned, but the reason was completely different, because he was very familiar with this thing, but it was something that should never appear in reality. Before he could speak, Ye Fei was already muttering on the side: "It's too discordant, this thing." ”
"Do you know?" asked Yun again.
"Second Senior Brother and I should both know each other," Ye Fei stabbed Lin Yufei, "You said yes, Senior Brother." ”
Lin Yufei was still in a dream, and subconsciously responded: "One tail, the sand guarding the crane." ”
"What?" Yun was still stunned at the same time as Zhang Zhongjian, but Xin Lan on the side didn't react, just staring at the strange beast, holding the hilt of the sword. Lin Yufei came back to his senses: "This is something from a comic we have seen, and it is a kind of thing called a tailed beast in it." How could it be ......"
"There's nothing strange about it," Yun said in a deep voice, "the interference of concepts can produce anything incredible, if it's pure fantasy, then it's a beast that creates concepts, so be careful." You two, do you have any characteristics or weaknesses of this thing?" his last sentence was obviously asked to Ye Fei and Lin Yufei.
"This guy is made of sand, and then the defense is very strong, there is something called absolute defense. In addition,The original seems to be able to send out energy impacts.,I don't know if this will work.;The attribute is estimated to be earth.,I don't know anything else.。 Ye Fei replied quickly.
"Can't you go into more detail?"
"I don't know, how detailed can I describe fictional things? Besides, I don't see much detail, it's just comics. Ye Fei looked aggrieved. Yun also turned to Lin Yufei again, and Lin Yufei also shook his head, "There is really no more information." ”
"There's no way," Yun still said helplessly, "At least I know that this guy is suspected of being an earth attribute, so let's deal with this first!
"Received!" Ye Fei agreed, and stepped forward: "Little thing, let you taste my wooden prison!" With both hands on the ground, he shouted, and the plants around him that had already withered began to grow abnormally, gradually forming a huge hemispherical cage, and heading towards one tail.
Ichio had already spotted everyone, roared angrily, and tried to pounce forward, but couldn't. I don't know when, countless vines have firmly bound the long tail of his feet, and this blow only made him gnaw on the mud and pounce on the ground. Before it could get up, the huge green cage had closed, trapping it completely.
"Keep pushing and see if you can crush it!" Yun returned.
"Got it!" Ye Fei agreed and continued to output with all his might. The green cage continued to grow slowly, but not at a rapid pace, and from time to time green spiky vines burrowed inward through the gaps, and it was conceivable that the space inside was constantly squeezing. Time passed gradually, and after about three minutes, the green cage had risen from the ground, forming a spherical shape of nearly ten meters.
Ye Fei suddenly raised his hands, held his palms forward in the shape of a claw, and then pinched them towards the center, and shouted loudly: "Break!"
The green ball shrank inward violently, instantly shrinking to about one-third of its original size. Ye Fei's expression did not relax, and his hands kept opening and closing in a claw shape, as if he wanted to strengthen the wooden prison.
However, the wooden prison did not shrink again, but shook like a bouncy ball, and the surface was raised from time to time, as if it could be broken from the inside at any time. Ye Fei's face changed drastically: "Teacher, this strength is too strong, I'm about to lose my sleep!"
The crowd had already started to act when the wooden dungeon had changed. Lin Yufei began to unleash the wind technique, and the sharp cyan air flow began to flow on the surface of his body, and Xin Lan had already raised his long sword. Zhang Zhongjian jumped to the top of a tree, looked around, and came down and said, "Teacher, there is a pond about forty or fifty meters to the east!"
"Okay!" Yun returned, "Buyeo, you go over there and prepare the Extremely Cold Ice Sealing Technique, just in case." Let's see if we can destroy it first, and if it doesn't, we'll try to drive it away that way!"
"Yes. Zhang Zhongjian agreed, turned and left. Yun also said again: "Jing Hong, do your best to trap it, Qinglan Xinlan, join me to make a strong attack, in the fastest way!"
"You guys prepare first, I'll try again!" Ye Fei finished speaking quickly, his eyes suddenly widened, his hands raised above his head, and then folded together and waved down suddenly, shouting angrily: "Break it for me!"
The struggle finally subsided, and the wooden prison shrank sharply to one-tenth of its original size, and there was a low popping sound inside, and there was no more movement.
Ye Fei stared at the wooden prison firmly, and after more than ten seconds, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. The dungeon lost its support and slowly dissipated, and a thin wisp of quicksand fell to the ground in the center. Lin Yufei breathed a sigh of relief and began to restrain his true qi and withdraw his wind technique.
