Chapter 316: Demon Death Canyon
After only a few hundred miles away from the Demon Death Canyon, Li Fei stopped and rested with the two girls at the foot of a mountain. Since the two women didn't consume much mana, they got together and chatted quietly, while Li Fei sat down cross-legged, chanted words in his mouth, and then recovered his mana.
More than an hour later, a small black dot from far to near, a moment of effort stopped in Li Fei's hand, it turned out to be an earthy yellow spirit insect, several inches long, with a long needle like a thorn on the top of the head, a pair of wings longer than the body, when quiet, there is no fluctuation of spiritual power, when active, the strength is as great as a cow, and you can know the extraordinary product at a glance.
This kind of spirit insect named the Earth Locust King is the trophy that Li Fei obtained from the Spirit Beast Gate, this insect is not strong in combat effectiveness, but it is good at earth escape and flight, and is used to spy on intelligence, which is quite good. Li Fei took a fancy to their characteristics at that time and asked for them all.
It's just that the fecundity of this insect is relatively weak, and so far, the number has not increased much, Li Fei got ten at the beginning, and now there are no more than twenty, which cannot be arranged in a large area, but it is more than enough for a small area.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Fei has no time to cultivate them, he has been busy, usually just placing them in a corner casually, and feeding them some food when he thinks about it.
However, Li Fei is not in a hurry, cultivating all kinds of arts, as vast as a sea of smoke, and there are too many things he needs to do, not to mention raising spirit insects, even for the puppet technique that he is more interested in, he has no time to study in depth.
A very important reason is that whether it is a puppet or a spirit worm, it is easy to achieve a breakthrough in quantity, but it is quite difficult to advance, without a lot of time and huge investment, it is difficult to make a difference, and the time consumed, in many cases, is thousands of years, and ordinary monks simply cannot afford it.
In order not to startle the snake and at the same time get the news he wanted, Li Fei did not use the soul searching technique on the couple, but before leaving, he still quietly left a locust king and attached a wisp of divine thought to him.
At this time, the spirit worm returned safely, Li Fei took back that wisp of divine thought, and soon knew the conversation of the couple well, but to Li Fei's regret, in addition to confirming that there was really a problem, there was no valuable information, only that there was a corpse demon, and he cultivated by devouring monks, as for the cultivation realm, he did not mention it.
Now Li Fei has two choices, one is to leave and ignore the matter, the other is to find a suitable place to cultivate, and the second is to venture out and investigate.
The so-called corpse demon, that is, a kind of psychic zombie, but the formation is more difficult, the reason is very simple, after the death of the monk, the corpse is not of much use, relatively speaking, the number of surviving is relatively large, but the spirit beast that has reached a certain level often has a high value, so whether it is killed by someone or falling by itself, it is difficult to stay.
And the scarcity of the number, coupled with the extremely harsh conditions of the psychic, and at the same time it takes an extremely long time, naturally there are few people in the world. However, the body of the spirit beast itself is strong, which also determines that once it successfully turns into a corpse demon, its strength is much stronger than that of ordinary zombies.
Moreover, after the corpse demon is psychic, its spiritual wisdom is not inferior to that of ordinary monks, and it will naturally choose a place to practice, but this corpse demon makes Li Fei feel a little strange, it does not cultivate quietly, but it is constantly harming people.
In this way, even if its cultivation speed increases, it is easy to attract the attention of other monks, and if it is not good, it will also attract the encirclement and suppression of various forces. After all, for this kind of monster, the monks will not be polite to it, and attack it in groups, even if it is strong, it will not end well.
Since Li Fei had not met any other monks along the way, he naturally couldn't investigate further, so he discussed peace with the two women, and decided to go and meet the corpse demon for a while. Originally, Li Fei wanted the two daughters to stay outside and go to check alone, but the two girls were finally with Li Fei, and they didn't want to be separated, so they had to take her with them.
As for the strength of the corpse demon, although Li Fei didn't know, he roughly speculated that the highest should be the level of the early stage of child-rearing, and there should be other problems, otherwise it would not be able to control the two monks in the early stage of the Yudan, and deceive people for it, if it took action on its own, the effect would definitely be more than a little better.
After thinking clearly, Li Fei no longer hesitated, anyway, he couldn't beat it, and there should be no problem in escaping, although Li Fei was a little worried about Xue'er and Yue'er, but the strength of the two of them was not too weak, as long as they didn't fight the monster head-on, they could be regarded as good helpers.
Especially after a long time since he has performed a combined blow with Yue'er, Li Fei is still looking forward to the power of joining forces with Yue'er.
After the three of them were ready, they took off into the air and officially headed for the core area of the Demon Death Canyon.
After a stick of incense, Li Fei took the two girls and easily flew over a distance of hundreds of miles, except for the occasional encounter with some low-level spirit beasts like demon vultures, there was no major trouble, and the three of them finally appeared on the periphery of the canyon.
Although the peripheral vision is still relatively open, there is already a thin mist of people, and in addition to all kinds of pungent strange smells in the mist, a faint corpse aura is also looming.
Just after a general inspection, Li Fei found that there were indeed various poisons mixed in the mist, although each poison was not very powerful, but when mixed together, it was not to be underestimated, and without the cultivation of the Dan period, he did not dare to enter it at all.
And as it progresses, the color of the mist begins to change, and the poison gas becomes more and more powerful. Of course, this level of poisonous gas, not to mention that Li Fei will not put it in his eyes, the two girls also seem relatively relaxed.
Just in case, Li Fei still took out some anti-poison pills, gave them to Xue'er and Yue'er, took them together, and then released a powerful divine thought and began to explore.
After a while, Li Fei's face showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that there were other monks here, and his body shook, and he lowered his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Jiedan. And because the two girls are retinues, their strength should be lower, so they also changed their cultivation and maintained the appearance of Xiang Feng in the early stage of Yudan. After the three of them were ready, they flew towards the location that Li Fei sensed.
There are a total of three monks, their strength is good, all of them have cultivation above the peak of the middle stage of the Jiedan, and they are gathering on a big rock to discuss something at this time, the arrival of Li Fei and the others surprised them, but after being surprised, they all smiled again.
The leader was a little old man who looked like he was in his fifties, his hair was gray, and this person's cultivation was also the highest, and when he reached the late stage of the Jiedan, he arched his hand at Li Fei: "We are the law enforcement elders of the Black Dragon Gang, and we came here to hunt down and kill a lone thief who committed a heinous crime. May I ask a few fellow Daoists, which gang is it from?"
Li Fei didn't expect to meet the monks of the Black Dragon Gang here again, and felt that it was really fate with them, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence! It turned out to be his own brother." The three of us belong to Tang Er's fat helmsman, but because they have just joined the Black Dragon Gang, they haven't had time to meet the other brothers in the gang yet. ”
The little old man showed a look of great joy and said happily: "It's really good! There are many brothers and sisters in the gang, and the mobility of personnel is relatively large, and it is normal not to know each other, the three of us are feeling that this fog is not simple, and the grasp is not too big, with the three brothers joining, then there is no need to worry." By the way, do you have any help tokens?"
Li Fei casually took out a silver-white token and threw it over. Xue'er and Yue'er also took out the same token and shook it. There is no shortage of this thing, Li Fei and others killed more than ten people at that time, and there are many such tokens.
Of course, the Black Dragon Gang is not stupid, and each helmsman will check the information of the token holder from time to time, and if there is no news for a long time, the function of the corresponding token will be canceled. Of course, Tang Erpang knew that these tokens were in the hands of Li Fei and others, so he naturally would not cancel them.
After the little old man checked it, he showed a satisfied look, returned the token to Li Fei, and said with a serious face: "I am the law enforcement elder - Du Xing, and the two of them are my deputies. I now officially declare that the three of you are temporarily under my jurisdiction! ”
Li Fei felt a little funny, and thought: "This guy is really good at pulling strong ding, I originally wanted to tease them, but I didn't expect him to really take the elders seriously, and directly started the trick of co-ordination, but it doesn't matter if you continue to play." Then he replied lukewarmly: "We can join for a while, but after leaving the Demon Lake, we won't continue." ”
Unexpectedly, the little old man was quite open-minded, and said cheerfully: "No problem! I want you to help, that is, in this nasty fog area, after leaving, we don't need to help." ”
The other two cultivators, who looked like middle-aged men, both stood expressionlessly, without greeting Li Fei and the others, nor asking any questions, acting as if they were obedient.
Li Fei asked casually: "Elder Du, to tell you the truth, this is the first time we have come to the Demon Lake, and we can say that we don't know anything about the situation inside, before we officially carry out the mission, can you give us a general idea of the internal situation?"
Elder Du showed a slightly embarrassed look and said vaguely, "The information I know is long outdated, after all, no one has been here for a long time, and I haven't been here myself. But it is estimated that apart from the reduction of the number of monks, there should not be much change. ”
Seeing that this Elder Du also didn't know anything, Li Fei naturally had no interest in asking any further, and said flatly: "We have no problem, and then we will listen to Elder Du's command." ”
Elder Du nodded, taking the lead, advancing towards the thicker fog area. In the process of advancing, Li Fei found that Elder Du seemed to be a good person, and he spoke quite funny, and he had witty words along the way, talking to Li Fei as if they were very familiar friends.
Li Fei knew that Elder Du was not hospitable, but he didn't really trust him, and wanted to use this way to find out his origins.
Faced with this kind of problem, Li Fei naturally talked nonsense, and then turned against the guest in a modest tone: "Elder Du, it hasn't been long since the three of us came to Demon Mangxing, thanks to Lord Tang Helm's appreciation, we joined the Black Dragon Gang, but our knowledge of Demon Mangxing and the Black Dragon Gang is really very limited, can Elder Du solve one or two doubts?"
