Chapter 46: The Mountaintop
At this moment, the moon is dim.
The top of Luoxia Ridge was filled with a large area of miasma, like a layer of haze that could not be dispersed.
The term 'miasma' is naturally not unfamiliar to Su Mo.
He knew that in some places in the south where there were many lakes, the water vapor was steaming, and miasma often formed. Miasma itself is not poisonous, but it is extremely harmful to the human body.
However, the black miasma that permeated the top of the mountain was obviously not an ordinary miasma, perhaps some poisonous gases. And on the top of the mountain, there is very little water to see, so this black miasma can never be formed naturally.
"It seems that it was discovered by the people of the horse village," Su Mo frowned and said, "Obviously we are careful enough, how can we still be discovered?"
He really couldn't figure it out, even if the demon in the horse village had the means to reach the sky, it was impossible to spy on what was happening in the mountains.
"Do you think there is any enchantment in these mountains?" Ye Zhiwei said.
"Enchantment?" Su Mo was a little confused, he had never heard of this term at all.
Ye Zhiwei glanced at him and said strangely: "You all know the existence of demons and ghosts, but you don't know about the enchantment?"
Su Mo shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard of this, Miss Ye, is the enchantment you are talking about related to demons and ghosts?"
Ye Zhiwei explained: "That's right, you must know that some little yin spirits continue to absorb yin qi to strengthen themselves, and they will continue to grow. When a Yin Soul transforms into a shapeshifting demon, the Yin Qi in its body will turn into Demon Qi. Each shapeshifting demon will release its own demonic energy outside the body, forming an area similar to a formation, and this area is the demonic energy barrier of the shapeshifting demon. ”
"When a stranger intrudes into the demonic energy barrier, it will cause the demonic energy in the demonic energy barrier to fluctuate, and it will be detected by the demon ghost who created the demonic energy barrier. ”
"The size of the demonic qi enchantment corresponds to the grade of a shape-shifting demon ghost. According to this analysis, the big demon ghost in the horse village is undoubtedly a shape-shifting demon ghost. ”
Ye Zhiwei paused for a moment, and then said: "But I'm a little strange, ordinary shape-shifting demons and ghosts can create demonic qi enchantments with a radius of a few zhang to more than ten zhang. However, Longyuan Mountain is estimated to be nearly a hundred zhang away from Luoxia Mountain, and a low-grade shape-shifting demon ghost has no way to create a demonic qi enchantment of this scale. ”
"Is there anything else to say about this?" asked Su Mo.
"Well, the shapeshifting demon ghost corresponds to the Condensing Divine Warrior, and each grade corresponds to each other. If you guess, maybe the shape-shifting demon who lives in Longyuan Mountain's Horse Village is at least at the level of second to third grade. Ye Zhiwei's face was a little ugly, and she said: "You know, I'm just barely close to the level of condensation now, and it is impossible for me to be the opponent of that big demon at all." ”
"I see. Su Mo's face changed slightly when he heard this.
He himself is already very close to the realm of forging veins, if he becomes a demon, the strength of his physical body should be a few points stronger than that of a master at the first level of concentrating. But against the demons of the second grade of the transformation, it may not be able to win.
"I'm still a little curious, these black miasma should be poisonous, right? Your uncle hasn't moved for so long, could it be poisoned?"
Su Mo knew that it was because he had absorbed Yin Qi and was able to demonize, so the power of demons released by some demons and ghosts was not particularly affected on him.
But Ye Zhiwei and Xuan Xiaozi are different, even if the two of them have a high martial arts realm, they are two mortals after all, and they should be more or less affected by the black miasma.
Xuan Xiaozi was poisoned unexpectedly, but Ye Zhiwei was able to talk to him well, which seemed a little strange.
"Oh, yes. I patronized to talk to you and forgot about Uncle Xuanxiaozi. ”
Ye Zhiwei hurriedly took a fine porcelain bottle from her arms, and then poured out a pill from it. She pressed the pill into Xuan Xiaozi's mouth, and the pill was quickly swallowed by the Taoist priest.
Only a moment later, Xuan Xiaozi woke up.
At this time, the light on the mountain was not very sufficient, but Su Mo could still see that Xuan Xiaozi's face was filled with a trace of black gas, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.
"Now that we have been discovered by the demons in the village, if we continue to go to Longyuan Mountain, we will definitely encounter some interceptions. Let's get rid of these black miasma first. Staying in the range shrouded in the black miasma, Su Mo himself felt a little drowsy.
He directly helped Xuan Xiaozi up and carried him behind him, while Ye Zhiwei took two burdens, and the three of them left the bamboo forest quickly.
After walking for a while, I found that the place where the black miasma was filled, that is, the place where Su Mo and the three of them stayed just now, it seemed that all this was premeditated.
Su Mo thought that since they had been discovered by the demons in the village, they should come soon.
"There are only two options in front of us right now. Su Mo opened his mouth to speak, and then directly threw Xuan Xiaozi aside.
Seeing this, Ye Zhiwei glared at him angrily and said, "Can you be gentle with my uncle?"
"It's okay, you can't die if you fall. Su Mo was angry when he saw the Taoist priest, and he didn't go up to beat Xuan Xiaozi, which was enough to save face. "Miss Ye, listen to me. Let's either go to Longyuan Mountain to deal with that big demon, or we can go home. You were born in the Jade Void Immortal Mountain, you can find your masters, brothers and sisters, and you will definitely be able to solve this matter. ”
Su Mo wasn't afraid, but after listening to Ye Zhiwei's analysis, he felt that with the current strength of the two of them, they shouldn't be able to deal with the big demon, so they had the idea of retreating.
Although he really wanted to suck the demonic energy of the big demon, he had to be able to kill the big demon. Otherwise, stealing chickens will not make rice, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Protector Su, do you think we can easily get out now?" Ye Zhiwei helped Xuan Xiaozi up, and said, "Since that big demon has discovered our whereabouts, presumably it should come soon." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he heard the sound of an eagle chirping from far away in the sky.
Su Mo secretly cursed a crow's mouth.
"Let's go, let's go now! Once we go down the mountain and then into the primeval forest, maybe the demons and ghosts chasing after us will give up the chase, otherwise we will all have to explain here today!" Su Mo hurriedly said, now is not the time to fight hard.
After he finished speaking, he planned to carry Xuan Xiaozi down the mountain.
"Protector Su, why did you just throw the poor road on the ground?" Xuan Xiaozi was a little weak when he spoke, obviously due to the influence of the black miasma.
"Oh, Dao Chief, it's me who is wrong, let's leave this Luoxia Ridge now. Su Mo's face was anxious.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go. Xuan Xiaozi pointed to the sky.
Su Mo hurriedly turned his head to take a look.
A man in white fur was sitting cross-legged on the back of a goshawk about two or three feet long, swooping towards the top of the mountain.
