Chapter 10: The Soul Eater
"IāI'm just going home. www.biquge.info"It's too late, and there's no one else around." As he spoke, he showed a very embarrassed and panicked feeling. Seeing the other party's expression, Mu Li's tears furrowed, but he still dispersed the poison on his hands.
"Hmph. Mu Li snorted and ignored it, and followed Murong Lan to continue walking towards the city gate. Just as Murong Lan and the others walked into the shadow of the doorway, the eyes of the woman following behind her narrowed, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her long tongue swirled around her mouth, and then she saw her body slowly getting bigger, and the clothes on her body were full.
"Phew. A soft voice sounded, and the woman turned into an ugly monster-like creature, and at the same time gently jumped to the top of the doorway, condescendingly about to shoot at Mu Li's tears.
"Little tears, stand back. Just when the strange creature was about to attack Mu Lixian from a high place, Murong Lan suddenly turned around, pulled Mu Litear behind him with his right hand, and held the Kunwu sword with his left hand and swung it up, and at the same time as a flash of lightning, a miserable cry also sounded, "Roar! you cut off my arm, bastard!" Then, the roaring monster left like lightning.
"What is this?" Mu Li said in horror.
"I don't know, hold this arm first, wait for a place to stay, and then let's see what this monster is. Murong Lan looked at the cave in the city gate, his consciousness dispersed, and when he saw that the monster had really left, he continued to walk towards the city with Mu Li's tears.
The two of them found an inn not far from the city gate, "Come, let's see what kind of monster this is." After entering the room, Murong Lan took the severed arm to a bright place and prepared to check it. At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "The meal is here, please open the door." āć
"Little tears, did you order them?" Murong Lan turned around and asked.
"Oh, I ordered some food, and it was delivered so soon?" Mu Li got up and opened the door with tears, and sure enough, he was here to deliver food.
"This young master, where is the food?" was an old woman who entered the door.
"Just let it go. Mu Lixian said casually, thinking: "At such a night, how can it be an old woman who delivers the meal?" But before Mu Li's tears could say the word "line", the old woman suddenly threw the food towards Murong Lan, and rushed towards the broken arm, "Jiji, this is my arm, Jiji." The old woman took up her arm and grinned, and jumped out of the window, and soon disappeared.
Murong Lan's whole body was shaken by spiritual power, and he shook the flying food, and then hurriedly asked Mu Lixian about the situation as soon as possible, "Little Tears, are you okay?"
"Brother, I'm fine, she didn't attack me. Mu Lixian came back to his senses, "What's wrong with this town?"
"Well, it's okay, his purpose is just that arm. Murong Lan came to the window, but the old woman didn't know where she had gone. "Little tears, let's get out of here now, something is wrong here. ā
"Brother, I listen to you. Mu Lixian hurriedly put away the Qingling Pill that she was going to take at night, "Okay, let's go." ā
"Let's go. Murong Lan grabbed Mu Li's tears and jumped out of the window, and came to the city gate after a few starts.
"Brother, the gates are closed. Mu Li said with tears, "And this city wall must have some prohibitions." ā
"Even this city gate can still close you and my brother!" As he spoke, Murong Lan took a leap into the clouds and rushed straight into the sky, "Sure enough, there is a ban, but it's a pity that it's not strong enough." After Murong Lan said coldly, he once again cast a cloud rush step in the air, and after three performances, his body had already exceeded the forbidden range, and he came to the city wall with a flip,
"Brother, your body is domineering. Mu Li's tears were like sitting on the clouds, and he had come to the city wall in the blink of an eye. "You can teach me in the future, so you don't have to pull me. ā
"Will teach you later. After Murong Lan let go of Mu Li's tears, lightning stepped forward and stunned a nearby guard, and then turned over and fell outside the city in the same way.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Mu Li asked after tears fell outside the city.
"Let's go back to the top of the mountain, and we can't just leave in a daze, and who knows if there's any important information here. ā
"Yes, we also need to find out what is wrong with this town, there are monsters!" Mu Li said viciously, "If it weren't for you, brother, maybe I would have died." ā
"Little tears, don't say that, if it's not for me to show the way, you won't come here. Murong Lan patted Mu Li's tearful shoulder, "Find a quiet place in a while, you can take the pill again, and I will protect the Fa for you." ā
On this night, Murong Lan used the "Four Extremes Cultivation Sword Technique" to strengthen the Kunwu Sword while absorbing the vitality around him, while Mu Lixian meditated and refined the medicinal power after taking the Qingling Pill.
Early in the morning of the second day, the strong wind woke up Murong Lan and the others, and they opened their eyes one after another. At this moment, Murong Lan saw the terrain of the town clearly, the town was built on a high ground, and it was really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Why did such a strong wind blow all of a sudden?" Murong Lan straightened out his cloak that had been blown by the wind.
"This is the characteristic of Dongyi Island, to be precise, the characteristics of the western part of Dongyi Island. Mu Li tearfully explained, "It's mostly windy days in the morning in this area, let's find a leeward place." After speaking, Mu Li got up and looked around and saw a good location on a rock. But there was still some wind leakage, and the two cut down a few big trees to simply build a shelter from the wind.
"Look, my brother, as soon as it was dawn, they began to carry things on the city walls. Mu Li tearfully pointed to the city wall in the distance.
"Little tears, don't just look at the city, you see that the fortifications are also being built outside the city, it seems that we are right to leave overnight. ā
"Yes, it's strange that someone dares to attack Dongyi Island. Mu Li said with tears.
"By the way, Little Tears, I still want to ask you about the situation, I was always diverted by trivial matters a few days ago. ā
"Brother, excuse me. ā
"The overall strength of this sea area is much stronger than that of the inland where I am located, and there are many spirit masters, but why is it that the highest level is only the ninth level of spirit masters, but there is no spirit master?" asked Murong Lan.
"Well, I've only heard some speculations: some people say that it's because this sea area is blocked by something, so cultivation can only stop at the ninth layer of the spirit master, but I heard something different, that is, the exercises practiced at sea can only be practiced up to the spirit master, so many forces have sent people to the inland to seek high-level exercises, but the exercises in the inland fringe areas are not as good as those at sea, and none of those who went deep into the inland have returned. ā
"I see, I think the second aspect you said is more credible. ā
By noon, the fortifications outside the city had been completed, and behind each of them stood several men, ready to meet the enemy.
"Looks like it's going to be a war. Murong Lan said softly.
"Haha, I didn't expect us to see such a lively scene. Mu Li said with a tearful smile.
"Smirk. Murong Lan didn't pay attention to the other party, he was still absorbing the thunder and lightning energy around him at the moment, Murong Lan felt that the second layer of his Nine Heavens Thunder Body was about to be completed, thanks to those thunder tribulations.
It was past noon, the sun was setting in the west, and the sound of trumpets was heard from the bottom of the mountain. "Dude, here we go. Mu Lixian was very excited.
"Well, I heard it, just blew the horn and wait until the rush is together. Not long after Murong Lan's words fell, there was a shout of rushing and killing.
"Little tears, do you recognize the race of those people who came to attack?" Murong Lan saw that the attacking crowd looked terrifying, and his body was wrapped in billowing black qi that could not be dispersed.
"Hiss~ Brother, these are all soul eaters, but it's a strange thing!" Mu Lixian said loudly after looking at it carefully.
The defenders outside the city began to draw their bows and arrows, and the arrows flew towards the charging Soul Eater like a shield from the sky, "Hurry up, don't stop the bow and arrow!"
"Aren't they afraid of bows and arrows? Why don't they see anyone fall?"
"Kill!"
"The front retreats to the rear, the middle launches!"
Bursts of shouts, commands, and complaints came and went, and they could be heard clearly on the mountain, which showed the urgency of the battle situation.
"Quick! start the battle formation!" a deep voice reached the mountain.
"Battle formation, there is also a formation above this sea?" Murong Lan heard the shout, his heart was interested, and he concentrated his divine sense and extended down the mountain, "Fortunately, the divine sense can reach the rear of the defenders." Thinking in his heart, Murong Lan began to savor the subtlety of the formation.
I saw that the guards began to chant, the voice seemed to come from ancient times, long and heavy, Murong Lan could not avoid shaking in his heart just by relying on his divine sense, but imagine how the person who directly faced this incantation would feel. However, the current scene made Murong Lan wonder in his heart: "This is the formation? I don't even have an array eye, and I haven't found any arrangement, what kind of formation is this?" No matter what doubts he had in his heart, the effect of that formation was beyond doubt.
I saw that the Soul Eater's charge slowed down immediately, and their mouths began to roar non-stop. Soon, the black qi on those Soul Eaters was surging, and then they began to merge into a larger Soul Eater. The speed and power of these Soul Eaters who had grown larger were far greater than before, and those formations could no longer suppress them.
"Roar!" the Soul Eaters roared as they stormed the defenders' fortifications.
"Retreat quickly in the middle, speed attacks in the rear to stop their offensive!" shouted the commander of the fortifications. But the enhanced Soul Eater outpaced the defenders, and soon caught up with the retreating guards and began their slaughter.
"Ahh......h
"It's not good, all retreat, retreat to the city. "The man in command was a decisive man, and immediately abandoned the guards who were fighting with the Soul Eater, preserving the living forces and retreating.
"This person is so powerful!" Murong Lan suddenly blurted out these words as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
