Chapter 367: Silver Moon
The cold wind was bitter, like a knife cut.
A middle-aged man clutched his harpoon tightly and hid his body behind the ice, not daring to move.
In this harsh and cold weather, a layer of sweat appeared on his back, and he was about to soak through the small clothes inside.
He tried to keep his breathing low, not daring to make any noise.
Perhaps because of too much fear, his heart kept pounding, and it was like thunder in his ears.
I don't know if it will attract the attention of the thing, find him out of his hiding place, tear him apart and eat it.
And just a dozen feet away, a monster with wings several feet high and nearly a foot long, lowered its head, and was happily devouring several broken corpses.
The sound of gnawing and gnawing kept ringing, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the cold wind, which couldn't help but make people a little disgusting to smell.
The middle-aged man made a living from fishing and hunting, and today he just came out to fish according to the routine, but he didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing.
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.
People who live on the shores of the ice sea have developed the skills of ice fishing and sea beasts since childhood.
They are not among the tribes of the Northern Wilderness, and they do not believe in the Great Brahma, but a god called the Spirit of the Ice Spirit, who worships every morning and evening with great piety.
And this kind of place, which is even more bitter and cold than the Northern Wilderness, whether it is the Golden Horde or the major tribes, has no interest in it at all, if it is not for the fact that they have fought with the cultivators in the Xuanbing Sea several times, they may not set foot here in their lives.
But for those who have lived here for generations, they have already adapted to all kinds of harsh environments and learned all kinds of survival skills that are not used elsewhere.
For example, the method of concealment.
Whether it's hunting those perceptive ice foxes, or when you need to hide from the ferocious and ferocious white bears, it can play a good role.
Just like now, he controlled his qi and blood, restrained his breath, and concealed his body as soon as he discovered the danger, so that he could temporarily avoid the sudden attack of that monster.
His fellow hunters had died, and had become the blood of the monster's stomach.
It even includes the Tsutaki Sacrifice.
That is a powerful person in the tribe who has been taught by the old priest and has achieved something in martial arts.
But now even he is dead.
In front of that monster, the sacrifice was torn to pieces alive before he could even count the breath.
Licking the flesh scattered on the ice one by one, the monster did not leave, but raised its hideous head covered in blood, and its nostrils kept moving, as if looking for the trace of the prey that had been missed.
"You must survive, so that you can go back and inform the old priest about this, so that the clan can prepare in advance to deal with it."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, staring at the messy ice in the distance.
In that place, blood mixed with bone residue, sprayed and splashed everywhere, looked like purgatory on earth.
He clenched the harpoon in his hand, the fingers in the leather gloves turning white from too much force.
As time passed, the middle-aged man's heart sank more and more.
And when the monster stopped and began to look intently, he couldn't help but feel a wave of despair.
Boom!
The ground shook without warning.
The middle-aged man didn't even react before he felt a hot wind, with a strong smell of blood, spraying on the top of his head.
He subconsciously raised his head and happened to meet a pair of irritable eyes.
Unable to breathe because of fear, the man's consciousness went blank as he watched as the monster stretched out its hideous claws and rained down on him like lightning.
Click!!
At this moment, without warning, an ordinary-looking palm cut in, blocking the falling claws at the last moment.
The contrast between the two is so strong that it looks like a baby's hand catching a huge bear paw that has fallen by the whirl.
However, the claw of that monster couldn't fall.
It was even gently and skillfully moved outward, and then pressed downward.
Bang!
The hard ice shook violently.
In an instant, there were dense cracks, centered on the middle-aged man's location, and they spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web.
Then a terrible howl came from the monster's mouth.
But in the next moment, there was another click.
Blood gushed out like a fountain and flowed all over the ground.
Boom!
The middle-aged man's eyes were glazed, looking at the monster head that was casually thrown in front of him, and for a moment he felt like he was in a dream.
But the monster's head was so realistic, and even the smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, which made him have to believe that all this was real, not in a dream.
"Do you know what's the name of this ugly thing?"
A calm man's voice rang out.
The middle-aged man looked up blankly and saw a young man standing in front of him, looking down with a gentle smile on his face.
"Also, if I want to find Ice Spirit Island, how do I get there from here?"
"Originally, I had a female guide who didn't talk much, but unfortunately she might have had other things, so she left on her own without saying a word, leaving me alone here to look around."
The calm and indifferent man's voice sounded again, this time slightly raising the volume.
The middle-aged man came back to his senses suddenly, and regardless of the fact that the stinky blood had spread, he directly knelt down on the ground.
"Back to the master, the little slave is also the first time to see this kind of monster, and he doesn't know where it comes from, and he has never heard of a similar monster before.
As for the Ice Spirit Island that the master is going to, perhaps only by returning to the tribe and asking the old priest can he give the master a satisfactory answer. ”
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and was about to continue to ask again, but he was silent.
He turned slowly, caught by the monster corpse on the ground.
In the next moment, wisps of scarlet silk poked out from the tips of his left fingers, burrowed through the fracture in the monster's neck, and quickly penetrated into the body that had not completely lost its vitality.
After some bloody research, Wei Tao's doubts that had just arisen were not solved, but became a little thicker.
There's something really strange about this thing.
It is not an ordinary beast, nor is it a creature similar to the raccoon family, nor is it a spirit animal driven by a spirit master.
If you have to give a definition.
In Wei Tao's opinion, it was once supposed to be an ordinary snow leopard, but it was eroded by some unknown mysterious force, and it became the ferocious and violent it is now.
After dissecting the corpse, looking at the pieces of meat all over the ground, which were mixed with various human organs, even Wei Tao, who was never picky about food, had no desire to eat.
He wiped the blood from his hands from the monster's fur and let the middle-aged man lead the way as they walked towards their tribal settlement.
The further you go, the colder and desolate it becomes.
The middle-aged man's expression also became heavier.
In just twenty or thirty miles, they were attacked by three or four monsters.
Although it was solved by Wei Tao casually every time, it became a delicious meal and dessert on his plate, and it did not pose any threat from beginning to end.
But the monster appeared so often, but it made the middle-aged man extremely anxious, wondering if the tribe was also attacked by the monster.
Soon after, the two stopped in front of several rows of stone houses.
The middle-aged man looked at the already cold and hard corpse outside, and his already bleak face suddenly became bloodless.
Wei Tao didn't pay attention to him, went straight to the largest stone house, and pushed the door in.
The brazier inside has not yet been extinguished, and it emits the stench of burning animal fat.
An old man with a white beard and a pale face was lying next to him, completely out of his heartbeat and breathing.
In the corner of the room, there was a big dog with thick fur lying on his stomach, which had also lost all his breath of life.
Wei Tao looked around and found that there was a compartment in the stone house.
He immediately walked over and opened the door.
only to find that the inside seemed to be pulled by a force, and the first blow failed to pull it away.
Click!
The second time, the door shattered.
Wei Tao was expressionless and looked inward.
Through the little light left in the brazier, he saw a pair of eyes first.
Under the dim firelight, it was like two pools of turbid blood, emitting an eerie scarlet light.
The owner of the eye is a woman who looks like she is about to die.
She was ragged, and her body was full of wounds, large and small, but there was no blood flowing outward, but from time to time strange golden flowers grew from inside the wounds.
What made Wei Tao even more curious was that the woman only had half of her face.
If you only look at the left cheek, you can definitely be called a beautiful woman with a peerless style, and a smile can attract the attention of most men.
But if you look to the right, you can see that there is no face.
There wasn't even much flesh and blood, the white skull could be clearly seen, and even the viscous gray liquid could be faintly seen, wriggling in the light of the fire, and I didn't know if it was her brain, or something strange.
Even if the light is turned off and the wax is blown and a brocade quilt is covered, it can scare the man out of the problem.
Wei Tao frowned slightly and sighed lowly.
At this moment, a word suddenly appeared in his heart, pink skull, nothing more than that.
"Who are you?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued to ask, "And the killing in this settlement, does it have anything to do with you?" ”
"I was only seriously injured in an ambush, and after being seriously injured, I fled for my life all the way to find this place to take shelter from the wind and snow."
"And when I came here, all the people here were dead, and they had nothing to do with me."
The woman's voice was surprisingly beautiful, like the cry of a yellow bird, and like the tinkling of spring water, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the eerie half-faced skeleton.
"Who's ambushing you?" Wei Tao asked again.
"That's an extremely terrible woman, I'm not her opponent at all, but she still has to sneak attack, caught me off guard, if I hadn't consumed the only life-saving thing in the first place, maybe I wouldn't have escaped from her palm."
She sighed, a wry smile on her face, "And before I met this woman, I had never seen or heard of the name of Fang Shi Fanyu before. ”
"Fang Shi Fan Yu, are you sure she is Fang Shi, also known as Fan Yu?"
"She calls herself Fang Shi Fanyu, and I don't know her, so naturally I don't know if it's true or not."
Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and when he spoke again, he was a little more solemn, "I want to know now if she came here as a distraction, or if the deity came here in person." ”
"I was betrayed by a traitor from the sect, and I was attacked just after I came to this world, so I don't know what happened to her,"
The woman said, her eyes suddenly flashed with an inexplicable light, "You've seen the woman before, so you're from the same place as her?" ”
At this moment, the brazier outside was completely extinguished, and the entire stone house was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a loud explosion.
The majestic force erupted violently, leveling the entire two stone houses to the ground in an instant.
Wei Tao tore at the golden petals that surrounded him, slowly straightened up from the raging flames, and looked at the broken stone slab a few steps away, and the woman who had just gotten up behind the stone slab.
The night was dark and the wind was howling.
Rolling up the ice and snow whining.
The entire settlement seemed to be isolated from the outside world for a moment, and time seemed to stand still abruptly at this moment.
"I actually stood still, and I carried my fire and wood combination technique with my body."
She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked down at her left shoulder, where a large hole had been opened, and even her shoulder blade was on the verge of shattering.
Just after being grazed by the fist, half of her body was almost shattered, and this wild and domineering physical strength was simply beyond her imagination.
"The spirit wood makes a fire, and the fire borrows the wind, which is a bit interesting."
Wei Tao thought thoughtfully, "On the surface, there are some similarities with the technique, but at the bottom of it, there is still a big difference. ”
He raised his head and sighed secretly, "Maybe it's because you're seriously injured, the power of the long-brewing killing move is too low, whether it's these golden petals like blades, or the open flames that have just exploded, they are of no use to me." ”
"If you can't come up with something new, it's all over."
When the words fell, Wei Tao took a step forward, tore through the wind and snow in an instant, came to her side, and slammed down with another punch.
Bang!
A loud bang burst open, like thunder rolling over the surface.
The ice tunnel was broken, and there was a large crater in the ground.
Wei Tao frowned, looked up at the woman gasping for breath not far away, and there was a slight puzzled look in his eyes.
The punch he was bound to win was unexpectedly missed.
It seemed that something was disturbing his perception, causing the final punch to fall off the correct trajectory and not fall where it should have fallen.
However, there is no alternative to this.
When he was on guard, it was impossible to interfere with his perception like he had just done.
"There are other strange tricks, you can use them together, otherwise you won't have a chance in the future."
Wei Tao slowly walked out from the bottom of the pit, "Don't look at me with such eyes, after all, it was you who started the battle first, so it has nothing to do with you when it ends." ”
As soon as the woman opened her mouth, a large ball of blood spilled out, "I didn't move at all just now, you made the first move, I was just passively defending." ”
Wei Tao shook his head, "You see that my eyes are very aggressive, and I also spread rumors and slander that I am a warlock, which has dealt a great blow to my weak heart, so it is also appropriate to fight back." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Only by beating you to death can I heal my wounded heart and give me a true justice and justice." ”
"I surrender."
The woman slowly knelt on the ground, her forehead pressed against the cold ice, and repeated.
"You are right, I can only surrender and ask for your forgiveness......"
Before she could finish speaking, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes surprised and frightened, and a little confused.
"Here she is!"
The woman screamed.
The whole person seemed to fall into madness at this moment.
Almost at the same time, Wei Tao frowned violently and turned his head to look into the depths of the vast wind and snow.
Click!
The ground cracked beneath his feet.
He stepped on a large area of ice with one foot, and with the help of the huge anti-shock force, the whole person was like a cannonball, and the lightning rushed in the opposite direction.
Right now.
The piercing screams that seemed to exist, but also seemed to not exist, sounded directly in Wei Tao's ears.
There was also a strong sense of threat, which suddenly rose in his heart.
He tried to turn his head to look behind him, but he found that the air around him suddenly became thick and sticky, and everything seemed to sink into the depths of a swamp that he couldn't see.
Even the wind and snow were fixed in mid-air, like white flying insects tightly wrapped in viscous glue, unable to move.
Rumble!
Wei Tao stepped out again, stepping heavily on the ice.
The speed that was originally as fast as thunder seemed to have become slow motion at this moment.
The whole person is like being trapped in countless ropes, and it is like being in the deep sea, and every move is under a very huge oppression, and it takes a stronger force to overcome it with difficulty.
In the distance behind him, a dazzling blue and red light rose.
It contains an extremely rich and pure power of wood fire, which bursts out without reservation at this moment.
This is the woman who only has half of her face left, stacking a lot of defenses for herself.
Airplanes!
An eerie and terrifying scream was heard again.
However, when Wei Tao carefully distinguished, it was as if he had not heard anything.
But in the next moment.
His pupils suddenly constricted to the size of a pinpoint.
Looking at a stone house covered in ice and snow a few feet away, it began to crumble and disintegrate in the scream, turning into countless tiny fragments, slowly sliding down at a speed that was so slow that it was heart-wrenching.
Click!
Click, click!
and the ice under his feet also cracked densely at this time, revealing pitch-black gaps.
Everything around is shattering and disintegrating.
Only the small area where he was calm from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened.
In addition to this, there was also the woman who was seriously injured and dying, and it seemed that she was not affected by this strange attack that seemed to be cut and separated by countless silk threads.
It's just that the blue and red light that lit up from her body has been extinguished, and the whole person seems to be unable to withstand the huge pressure, so he flattens his body little by little, and lies down in a safe area specially reserved for her.
This weird and eerie sense of oppression.
It was as if all perceptions were disrupted, and it was impossible to pinpoint the source of the attack.
Even the mind has been clouded with a layer of haze, and it is no longer as clear as before.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Ever since Mianlong Town fought with Emperor Wu, his state of mind has risen again.
The thought flashed in his heart, and the moire black scales on Wei Tao's body surfaced appeared, and his body began to expand and grow.
But in the next moment, he took the initiative to stop all changes.
"Technique, day by day."
Quietly, it was like a breeze blowing.
Suddenly an orange flame rises, and the blazing heat wave empties, and the center of its body begins to release and spread outward.
If what the woman said was true, then it was basically certain that Fang Shi Fanyu had come to the neighborhood.
Then, before finding the location of her real body, Wei Tao is unwilling to reveal all his hole cards.
Therefore, fighting against the technique has become the most suitable choice for him now.
The orange flame burns quietly, continuously emitting hot gas outward.
Suddenly there was a soft click.
In the depths of Wei Tao's consciousness, it swept away without warning.
The world that was originally hazy in his eyes suddenly became a little different at this time.
Wei Tao's heart moved, and he looked up at the cloud-covered and low-hanging sky.
There, at some point, there was an extra round of bright full moon, which was shedding a faint silver glow.
"No, no, it's not really the moon."
"And these hazy silver glows, which are by no means true moonshine."
He held his breath and contemplated, watching his energy, the red lotus karmic fire was fully exerted, and with the help of the daily technique disturbing the surrounding environment, he finally vaguely saw the secret hidden in the silver moonlight.
It is indeed not the moon, but a silver disc suspended in the air.
The faint silver glow was not really moonlight either, but a light projected from the disc.
What's more, a large area centered on the disc is shrouded in a faint veil of light mist, which may be the source of the sense of oppression imposed on the body.
Also, in this light gauze mist, there are also extremely thin translucent silk threads.
They float around, as if weaving a great net that is not leaky, and where it covers, it will cut and separate the place, and let it crumble and fall apart.
"This is the Dao technique performed by the Fang Shi."
"It's really stronger than I expected."
Wei Tao exhaled a puff of orange flame lightly, and stepped forward again, coming to the light gauze mist.
Then he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the silver thread closest to him.
He was a little curious, and he also wanted to know who could be better in the cutting and separation of the upper Shidao technique, which had reached the level of chaos and incompleteness.
A slight tingling sensation came from the surface of the body.
Wei Tao ignored it completely, and suddenly pulled it down.
Click!
There was a faint crisp cracking sound between heaven and earth.
The net that was not leaky was broken.
And at the same time, a pair of eyes as bright as stars manifested in the night sky.
The curious gaze penetrated through the many obstacles and fell on Wei Tao's body.
Click!
Click, click!
Another series of crunch sounds.
A large hole was made in the silver wire net.
But he didn't feel relieved at all, but came out of the hole like lightning, and left off without looking back.
A light sigh full of surprise sounded quietly.
As soon as he ran out of a distance of more than ten zhang, Wei Tao suddenly froze.
At this moment, an indescribable throbbing rose from the bottom of his heart without warning.
There is no need to think, and there is no time to think.
There is no time to dwell on hesitation.
Under the traction of this sudden throbbing, Wei Tao suddenly turned around, his hands formed the Imperial Seal, and then turned the Mixed Yuan Hammer, and slammed a punch backwards.
The technique has been launched day by day.
In the sudden rise of heat, he felt himself see a ray of moonlight.
This light seems to be the white of the silver moon, and it seems to be as black as ink.
It seems to be outside the world, but it seems to be completely integrated into the vast wind and snow.
All kinds of strange and contradictory feelings came into his heart at the same time, bringing him a sad feeling that it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the false, and the false from the real.
Just like when he was in Mianlong Town, Jiusheng Mountain, facing the newly resurrected emperor corpse, once the emperor was executed, as long as he made a shot, he would definitely hit the target, and where he wanted to fall, he would definitely fall.
The light reached its end.
At this moment, the silver glow turned into golden light.
Wei Tao's pupils contracted suddenly.
A slender figure holding the moon disk was reflected inside, clenching the other slender jade-like palm into a fist, pulling the spiritual will of Brahma like substance, as if it was slowly smashing down.
There is no escape, and there is nowhere to escape.
You can only choose to force it down.
If you can't take it, then there is only a dead end.
Bang!
A thunderbolt exploded.
The two figures collided head-on without any fancy.
The power of the incomparably violent erupted suddenly.
The majestic shock wave swept in all directions, shattering and melting a large area of ice in an instant, turning it into a huge crater full of rifts.
A little farther away, the woman who had just sat up from the ground was directly blown up, rolled in mid-air for a distance of more than ten zhang, and then fell to the ground with a pop.
Then he continued to slide backwards and finally stopped.
She struggled to raise her head, staring blankly ahead, unable to believe her eyes until now.
The two of them each punched, and just the aftermath of the collision was able to release such a majestic power.
Not to mention that she is injured now, even in her heyday unscathed, it is not easy to block such a punch.
Even a monk who is proficient in metal exercises and has cultivated himself into copper tendons and iron bones may be smashed into a puddle of mud by this kind of fist.
She vomited blood, and her breath of life quickly fell.
There was no longer a place in the body that was intact, and there were wounds everywhere, large and small, and everywhere there was dripping blood and open flesh and bones, all of which were injuries that had just been added to the impact.
In the night, an orange flame burned silently.
Flickering in the wind and snow, it seems that it will be completely extinguished in the next moment, but it has not been extinguished.
In the orange flames, Wei Tao's legs were one after the other, and he still maintained a punching posture.
"This is the Fang Shi above the Transformation God, she is also a martial arts master, and she is not a martial arts master in the ordinary sense."
"With such majestic blood and real strength, I have to wonder if she is still a person after all."
"What's even more surprising is that she, like me, has become the favored person of the Great Brahma."
After a moment, Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes and let out a faint sigh.
He saw a woman with a silver moon in her hand, surrounded by wind and snow, spinning and flying, but not a single snowflake entered within three feet.
She wore a robe with intricate and gorgeous styles, and looked like a goddess from the nine heavens descending into the world.
The two were ten paces apart, and their eyes were immediately separated.
Wei Tao was silent, it was the first time he had seen such a different eye.
Her eyes, the left eye are pure white, the right eye is pure black without variegation, and the vertical pupil in the center of the eyebrows is a brilliant golden yellow, from which the spiritual intent of Brahma is like substance.
Black and white are intertwined, golden light flows, the three are intertwined, but they are distinct, and they are reflected on his body at the same time.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and his mood became peaceful and peaceful.
"Fanyu Fangshi came to the Northern Wilderness in person, and if he was disappointed in the future, please also invite Haihan."
He bowed slightly and bowed.
When he speaks, he speaks in a light and calm tone.
Like the last calm before a storm.
