Chapter 42 Innovative Thinking

However, Chu Fengge's smug posture did not last long.

After a few seconds, the fire dissipated.

These "fallen people" did not all turn to ashes as he imagined.

On the contrary, they are all safe and sound.

Still flapping his ears, flying in mid-air. Apart from the slight charring of the hair, there were no signs of injury at all.

Chu Fengge's expression suddenly froze on his face.

"The True Yuan Fire of the Fifth Realm cultivator can't even destroy them all?"

This scene was undoubtedly expected by Gu Xu.

He knew that in this world, there were many strange ghosts - they didn't seem to be strong, but they were extremely difficult to destroy, and it was impossible to kill them without following a specific rule and finding their weaknesses.

For example, there is a kind of ghost called "Mao Rongpo", which is shaped like a cat-headed old woman. Although it was only at the "Wild Ghost" level, its body was invulnerable, and the full force of the Fourth Realm Sword Cultivator's blow could not hurt it. The only way to destroy it is by poking a third eye on the top of its head.

In this regard, the predecessors of the Exorcism Division once gave an explanation: ghosts are actually the product of the rules of this world, and if you want to kill ghosts, you must follow the rules.

Like the heads of the "fallen people", it is also extremely difficult to destroy.

There are usually two ways to deal with them: first, to limit the range of their heads so that they cannot return to their bodies before dawn, and when the sun rises, they will be reduced to ashes; Second, destroy their bodies while their heads are out of their bodies, so that the flying heads will lose their energy source and dissipate naturally.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out a stack of talismans from his pocket and threw them towards the sky, while silently reciting the incantation: "Tianyuan True General, Earth Armor General." He is a fierce general, a brave god. I order it to be sent quickly, and it will show its might. It is bounded by Fusang in the east and Kunlun in the west. Up to Yujing, down to Guixu. Far away from the four major continents, close is not far from the square inch. Hurry up and take it for the evil spirits. ”(1)

Before the words fell, the rune paper floating in the air was driven by an invisible force, connected together, weaving a large golden net, covering the entire sky.

The heads of the "fallen people" were covered in a large golden net.

They struggled, but they couldn't break free.

Immediately after, Gu Xu raised his palm and pressed it down gently.

The golden net quickly closed.

Its opening was sealed without a trace, and then hung on a towering tree next to it.

The heads of the "fallen heads" rolled around in the nets, like animals that had fallen into a hunter's trap. They let out a sharp hissing sound and looked at Gu Xu with resentful eyes. But Gu Xu's expression was still calm and calm.

"Gu Daoyou, the 'Body Bondage Talisman' can still be used in conjunction with the 'Regency Spell'?" Seeing such a scene, Shangguan Jin took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xu was able to solve the heads of these "fallen people" by himself, Shangguan Jian was not surprised, after all, the strength of these monsters was not strong.

However, the tricks used by Gu Xu made her feel extremely surprised.

In her cognition, the role of the "body bondage" is to tie up the enemy with the rope condensed by the true element, which is generally used against humans; The function of the "Regency Curse" is to suppress evil spirits, and it generally needs to be used with specific magic weapons to deal with ghosts in the form of spirits.

They weren't meant to be related.

But it was used by Gu Xu in combination, and it produced such a magical effect.

How did Gu Xu's brain grow? Why did he always come up with such deviant ideas?

"The 'body talisman' I drew is not the same as the one in the book," Gu Xu smiled slightly and responded, "Its scope of application is broader than the original."

"As for using it in conjunction with the 'Regency Charm'...... It's an idea that popped into my head just now. I thought about it and felt that this method was theoretically feasible, so I went straight to practice. ”

Shangguan Jin stopped talking.

She thought that perhaps it was this way of thinking that enabled Gu Xu to successfully learn the "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", which is known for its esoteric and difficult to comprehend.

At the same time, Chu Fengge also stepped on the iron sword, slowly falling from the air and landing on the ground.

His face was very gloomy.

He originally thought that today he could use these "fallen people" to show his skills, so that Gu Xu, this kid, could see the majestic true essence of the Fifth Realm cultivator.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xu stole the limelight again.

This made him angry and wanted to curse, but he didn't know how to speak—after all, the key reason for the failure of the Manifestation before others was that he had read too little of his own books, and he was no wonder about others.

At this time, Gu Xu continued: "However, these spells of mine have limitations, they can only last for two hours, and they can't last until the sun rises. When the spell expires, the heads of the 'Fallen Heads' will still break free and go to wreak havoc on the inhabitants of the nearby villages.

"So, we need to find the place where the bodies of the 'Fallen Ones' are located within two hours and destroy their bodies."

When Chu Fengge heard the sentence "There are limitations to spells", his mood suddenly became a little happier again.

He thought: Gu Xu, this bastard, seems to have imprisoned the head of the "fallen people" lightly, but in fact, he is pretending and bluffing, and he can't eliminate these ghosts and monsters after all-in the end, I still need someone from Chu to take action!

Since there was still a chance to make a move, Chu Fengge was no longer discouraged.

He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and secretly made up his mind that after finding the shells of the "fallen people", he must kill the enemy before Gu Xu, and he must not be overshadowed by Gu Xu again.

Gu Xu glanced at the map given by Wu Qianhu in Anshun Mansion again, and was about to take the lead towards the location marked with a red circle.

But after pondering for a moment, he decided to do a simple divination in the same cautious manner as ever.

"Shangguan Daoyou, can I borrow your sword?" He asked Shangguan Jin beside him.

"No problem." Shangguan Jin nodded and readily agreed.

Gu Xu took the iron sword, laid it flat on the ground, then closed his eyes and silently recited the divination incantation in his mouth.

As he chanted the incantation, the iron sword spun rapidly on the ground like a spinning top, making a whizzing wind. The silver-white moonlight reflected on the iron sword was like a white splash of water, splashing everywhere and dazzlingly bright.

After the incantation was repeated, he opened his eyes.

The iron sword slowly stopped spinning.

He glanced at the direction of the moon and stars, frowned slightly, and said, "The blade of the sword is pointing southwest. If nothing else, it is the direction of the habitat of the 'Fallen Heads People'. ”

"Questions?" Chu Fengge asked.

"Of course there is a problem," Gu Xu nodded and replied, "The location marked by Wu Qianhu on the map is due north of us, and the result of divination is completely different. ”

ps: The second more to ask for a monthly pass!
