Northwest of Mozhou, in the Luocha Mountains.

It has been drizzling for days.

Compared with the cold wind and heavy snow in the Northern Wilderness Ice Field, the temperature has been slowly rising here.

Coupled with the watering of the rain, the grass breaks through the soil layer and paints the earth with patches of green.

And in the midst of the vibrancy, there is a mixture of discordant colors.

This is a large area of scorched black as if it has been burned by the wilderness, and there is a strong smell of hair and scorched lakes inside, even if it is continuous spring rain, it can't clean everything up.

In the silky rain curtain, several figures were speeding through.

They were separated by several feet from front to back, and their movements were stiff but uniform.

The people behind are all like replicating the actions of their predecessors, and even the landing points of the footprints are exactly the same, and there is almost no mistake.

It was not until late evening that the team stopped.

Stand at the top of a hill and look down at the middle of the charred area below.

There, a seven or eight meter-high altar was piled up.

There was also a figure in an inky robe, sitting upright on the altar, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.

Suddenly, he slowly raised his head and glanced at the opposite hill.

With a movement, countless black-backed flies flew up.

Suddenly, the inky robe vanished, revealing a scrawny and terrifying body covered with dense wounds underneath.

The warriors at the top of the slope were expressionless, and at the same time they looked away from the man and looked at the altar below.

This is no ordinary altar.

All of them are made up of white bones.

The top two layers are complete skulls.

From time to time, large and small insects crawl in and out of the eye sockets, and various beasts, birds and finches approach to prey, and even form a closed-loop ecosystem.

Everything has to do with corruption and death.

The result is this strange altar, which may also be called a Kyoto temple.

In the face of this terrifying and strange scene, the warriors on the stone slope remained absolutely silent, without even the slightest change in their eyes and expressions.

Without any communication at all, no orders or assignments, one of the tall and strong men stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the altar in the center of the charred area.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Katsa!

Another step out, the strong man suddenly stopped.

The whole person was like a punctured balloon, which began to quickly become shriveled up, until finally turned into a dead corpse, and fell to the charred ground with a pop.

On the stone slope, the other warriors remained silent.

Moments later, two more people jumped down the rocky slope.

Without any fear of death, they began to move swiftly along the path taken by the strong men.

Then he also stopped without warning, even though his qi and blood were surging and his true strength was connected, he only resisted for no more than three breaths.

They all followed in the footsteps of the strong men, turned into two shriveled corpses and fell to the ground.

The rest of the warriors watched all this in silence, and began to retreat without any hesitation.

They were still expressionless, without the grief of their companion's death, and even less the anger of revenge.

Little by little, time passed.

Soon the night passed, and the day fell.

And with it, there were more than a dozen figures wearing cloaks and hoods.

They hugged a delicate girl in the middle, and their eyes fell on the bone altar.

And farther away, there were more warriors gathered through the rain curtain.

All of them are expressionless, their movements are mechanical and precise, and they are uniform, as if they are doppelgangers of the same person.

"The Luocha clan, it's over."

"So, let's get started."

Yunhong's tone was calm, and the thick long hair behind her hung down

, if you look closely, it is not like a waterfall and green silk, but all of them are replaced by mysterious silk.

Even the clothes she wore were woven from the silk that protruded from her body, shining under the rain curtain.

Her words fell, and one by one the warriors jumped down the stone slope in silence and headed towards the White Bone Altar.

The battle broke out in silence.

Life passed in silence.

Except for the whirring wind and the sound of rain, there was no other movement.

Finally, after covering the corpses all over the ground, the Holy Maiden of Qinglian, who was also a disciple of Dingxuan, ascended the altar.

She stepped out, and suddenly the lotus flowers bloomed and bloomed, and the sound of rushing water rolled and flowed, completely enveloping the thin old man sitting in the center.

"All the people in the clan died, and the warriors attracted from the outside were all useless garbage, and the old man thought that the ritual had failed, and no one could let the Holy Spirit descend successfully.

Whoever knows the infinite way of heaven and earth to bring you people here, she is the best vessel to carry the Holy Spirit so that he can walk freely between heaven and earth."

Faced with an unreserved grasp, the thin old man who was as thin as a skeleton opened his mouth and revealed a gloomy and strange smile with unknown meaning.

Peng!

At this moment, the entire altar exploded.

It was like a bone cage being opened, revealing the secrets hidden within.

It was a sarcophagus wrapped in rotting flesh.

It has a strong fishy smell.

Katsa let out a soft sound.

The sarcophagus was pushed open, but it was empty inside, and there was nothing to be missing.

There was only a green lantern that burned quietly, and it was not extinguished even when it was watered by the rain.

There was also a malicious intent that seemed to be like substance, and it rose out of the green lantern flames.

The Holy Maiden of Qinglian suddenly stopped moving.

At the top of the stone slope, Yunhong stepped out in one step, and in an instant, he crossed a distance of dozens of zhang and came to the edge of the gap in the white bone altar.

She was expressionless, and slowly stepped forward, without even looking at the thin old man, but reached out and picked up the green lamp.

All malice disappeared at this moment, and all of them poured into Yunhong's body.

She closed her eyes a little bit, blocking the bright blue light that suddenly lit up in her eyes.

And farther away, behind the stone slope, all the Xuanwu Warriors froze at the same time, like machines that had been cut off from power, as if they had all lost their energy power at the same time.

"Sleep, the old man will never disturb you, just quietly wait for the Holy Spirit to wake up."

"Don't think about resisting, because it's useless to resist, the Holy Spirit is so powerful, even the Great Grandmaster who has reached the Anode Law Realm can't resist the occupation of the Holy Spirit, so he can only obediently sacrifice his body."

"If it weren't for the Holy Spirit's requirements being too high, and no one in the old man's sacrifice clan would be able to meet the standard, how could such a good thing fall on you, a little girl.

Therefore, you should thank the old man for giving you such an opportunity to dedicate yourself to the Holy Spirit and obtain the great fate of life sublimation."

The old man slowly knelt on the ground, his face full of pious and fanatical expressions.

Yunhong remained solemn and silent.

In her body, a life-and-death duel is underway.

There is no flesh-and-blood battle, and there is no violent confrontation of power, but the purest spiritual confrontation.

The evil spirit that came out of the sarcophagus blue lantern wanted to occupy her body and walk the world on her behalf.

So for Yunhong, the moment she picked up the green lantern, the real battle had just begun.

instantly detonated a spiritual battle.

Little by little, time passed.

Yunhong never opened her eyes.

The thin old man seemed to be a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but raise his head, his cloudy eyes penetrated the rain curtain, and looked at the distance of the stone slope where the Dingxuanwu was located.

At a glance, his expression suddenly became even more shocked.

Those warriors who followed this little girl seemed to be crazy, and like

Turned into headless flies and began to circle there, their movements stiff and twisted, not stopping even if they hit anything.

It's just going down and then hitting up.

Until the stone and wood are smashed to pieces, or they convulsed and fell to the ground.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Was the descent of the Holy Spirit successful or not?"

The old man was moved in his heart, and just as he wanted to get up to check, he found that Yunhong suddenly opened his eyes.

Extremely rarely, she had a shallow smile on her face, and she spoke for the second time since she appeared.

"It's a visitor."

"It told me I should go to the Ice Sea."

"Then I can go backwards to its homeland, which is full of delicious food."

The old man's face was shocked, "You, what are you ......?"

The smile on Yunhong's face only lasted for a short moment, and then quietly disappeared.

She lowered her head, looking down at the corpse-like body.

Then he slowly stretched out a finger and poked out a wisp of silk, silently sinking into his eyebrows.

At the moment before his own will dissipated, a large amount of information poured in, and the old man finally understood what kind of terrible monster he wanted to let the Holy Spirit come to the world.

Entering, eroding, and substituting are the means of the Holy Spirit.

But in front of Yunhong, who has experienced the fusion of true spirits, discovering distracting thoughts, analyzing distracting thoughts, and eliminating distracting thoughts has long been as easy and natural as eating and drinking.

Until the latter takes its essence, removes its dross, reverses devouring, and unifies and merges.

Therefore, it was supposed to erode the true spirit and occupy the expansion of the body, but it was not until the end that I suddenly realized that so many people attracted were actually just one person.

They all belong to the same will.

In this case, no matter how strong the Holy Spirit is, it can't resist this level of spiritual washing, and in the end it can only be hated on the spot, which becomes the spiritual food of Dingxuan Yunhong.

"Ice Sea."

She repeated it again, turning to look north.

A group of warriors walked out of Luocha Mountain, their eyes flashing with surging green light, like a big wave beginning to enter the Northern Wilderness.

…………

……………………

"It should be the Empty Foggy Mountain in front of you."

"After climbing this mountain, you can really see the sea of ice that you have never seen before."

Wei Tao stopped, looked up at the mountains shrouded in thick mist, and looked back again.

In addition to Ni Yan, there was only the green girl left, and the Master of the Northern Wilderness who was tightly wrapped.

The warriors of the Alfalfa tribe were left by him early, so as not to be wiped out in danger in the future, and cut off the line between him and the overseas Sanshan.

Ni Yan said, "I've heard my teacher say before that there are many Southern Xinjiang Grandmasters buried in Kongwu Mountain, and I don't know if their bodies are still well preserved after so many years."

"The corpse of the Southern Xinjiang Grandmaster."

When Wei Tao heard this, a strange thought suddenly flashed in his heart, "Senior sister, do you say that it is possible that Emperor Wu will enter the Xuanbing Sea again this time, and there will be an additional corpse puppet army formation composed of all grandmasters behind him?"

Ni Yan was slightly stunned, and said slowly after thinking, "After all, when the golden glow first appeared, there was still a divine will rising into the air, if Emperor Wu had prepared a hundred years ago, there were really some possibilities."

Wei Tao nodded, just about to open his mouth but closed his mouth.

He narrowed his eyes, and a group of shadowy black dots reflected at the end of his gaze.

"It's supposed to be a pack of wolves."

Ni Yan looked into the distance, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, "However, I have never seen such a huge wild wolf, the size of an adult buffalo."

Wei Tao said, "They may have been eroded by some unknown mysterious force like the snow leopard I saw before, and they became what they are now."

"What are you going to do, do you want to eat them?

？」

"Forget it, I don't have much appetite right now, as long as they don't come to provoke us......

At this moment, a terrible wolf howl sounded, piercing through the wind and snow.

As if the horn of the charge was blown, the wolves began to accelerate their charge.

They were extremely fast, and in a moment they were already approaching.

"I gave you a way to live, and you have to step into the ghost gate."

Wei Tao sighed secretly, took a step forward, and reached out to hold down the heads of the two white wolves.

He was about to exert his strength, but at the last moment, he was strong and soft, and with a slight flick of his wrist, he pressed the two white wolves to the ground, and he couldn't get up after a few struggles.

After a few breaths, he did the same, knocking out the entire pack.

Lying on the ground.

Wei Tao observed carefully, and after a moment, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The wolves are being eroded even deeper.

The change is also more pronounced than that snow leopard.

But in his eyes, none of that was the point.

What really interested Wei Tao was that when he faced these white wolves at close range, he had a faint feeling that he could control them.

"So, after being deeply eroded by the aura from the Xuan Ice Sea, these originally ordinary animals possessed some of the characteristics of spirit beasts?"

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately thought of something else.

They are all excellent experimental materials, which can allow him to verify the exercises he has practiced.

If you succeed, you'll be able to truly experience what it's like to be a spirit master.

It doesn't matter if you fail, it's nothing more than the difference between eating early and eating late.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tao looked at the neatly arranged wolves in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

These white wolves can really be used as spirit beast envoys.

Unfortunately, they are just too weak.

Not to mention the firebirds of the Lingguang family, even compared with the green wolf couple they met at the beginning, they are a veritable group of garbage.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to command the number of more than a dozen heads at once, and he would not feel mentally tired.

After the initial novelty, Wei Tao suddenly lost interest.

"Leave one of the most well-behaved ones for the senior sister to play with, and kill all the others to eat meat."

He reached out and grabbed the wolf's neck, about to twist it, but stopped at the last moment.

Looking at those green eyes, Wei Tao opened his hand lightly, and a new idea came to his mind.

A moment later, with great effort, he had made a wound on himself.

Then he opened the wolf's mouth and dripped some blood into it.

"What is the junior brother doing?"

Ni Yan asked curiously on the side.

"I want to see if it gets a little stronger after drinking my blood."

Wei Tao casually threw it to the ground, thought about it and said slowly, "The Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, the Ghost Car Snake, and the Demon Blood collected by Fang Shi in a mess, I don't know what kind of effect it can have on it."

"I think it's going to have a big impact, it's going to blow up."

Ni Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly took a step back and stood behind Wei Tao.

At this moment, the head wolf suddenly let out a miserable howl, and its body swelled like a blow.

Immediately after that, Peng let out a muffled sound.

It exploded.

Blood surged and flesh splattered, covering a large area of the ground.

"Senior sister sees it very accurately."

Wei Tao wiped away a little bit of flesh foam from his lips, and his expression was thoughtful, "Maybe I bled too much just now, so it can't bear it, so let's control it and try again."

The second wolf was picked up by him, and he opened his mouth and dripped a third of it.

It fell to the ground wailing, rolling and tumbling, scratching and biting at its own body.

It wasn't until the muscles swelled and tore the fur, and then it was covered by a new layer of cuticle, that it gradually quieted down and lay on the ice

The cold ground was motionless.

"Dead again?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and tested its snort.

"If you don't breathe, you're supposed to be dead."

"Huh? No, it's not dead."

An inexplicable connection reminded him that the she-wolf was still alive and unexpectedly healthy and strong.

Winter!

Dongdong!

A sound like a drum sounded.

Its heart beat slowly, becoming dull and powerful, and then slowly opened a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Stand up."

Wei Tao didn't speak, but grabbed the inexplicable connection he felt just now, and gave a command in his consciousness.

The she-wolf straightened up, looking more than a lap larger than before.

Little by little, it came closer, tumbling to the ground to expose its belly, and in this way declared its submission.

"It feels a little strange, in addition to the spiritual connection, there seems to be a blood connection.

And as it became stronger, the consumption of spirit did not increase, but seemed to decrease a little."

"However, the spirit beast I am commanding seems to be a bit simple compared to other spirit masters."

"At least their spirit animals can be put away and released with a cool light when needed, but when it comes to me, it's like becoming an animal keeper."

If you don't understand, don't think about it first, don't look for it if you can't find the reason, and resolutely don't do stupid things that drill the horns.

Wei Tao took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and quickly put aside the doubts in his heart and looked at the remaining white wolves.

A quarter of an hour later, he got on the sleigh.

The next day, when a few people entered the Empty Fog Mountain, there was already a group of violent pioneers ahead.

Carnivores live in harmony with herbivores, sweeping through the mountains.

On the way, when you encounter other eroded mutant animals, those that don't like the eye will directly let the spirit beasts eat them, and those that look pleasing to the eye will first resist the spirit, and then strengthen it, and join the growing team.

On the third day, Wei Tao finally felt tired.

At this moment, the spirit beasts under his command were already so vast that even he didn't know how many there were.

Behind Wei Tao, the young girl held the black-robed master with an almost numb expression.

At first, she thought that she would have to go through battles to pass through this mountain full of beasts.

But as time went by, she didn't expect that they would be in such an unreasonable way, all the way rampant and domineering.

This was beyond her comprehension.

Suddenly, several terrible howls came from ahead.

Wei Tao raised his eyes at this time and came back to his senses from the simulation of the Ximu Pan Silk Cave.

"I've been in the mountains for so long, and I finally met someone who can be seen."

"You wait here, I'll go back."

Before the words fell, Wei Tao had disappeared.

Wrapped in the sound of rolling wind and thunder, lightning sank into the depths of the wind and snow.

A moment later, several loud explosions suddenly exploded in front of me.

There was also a sky-high flame that lit up the dark night sky.

When Ni Yan came closer, the first thing he saw was that several spirit beasts had fallen to the ground, and there was a middle-aged man lying not far away, with a large depression in his chest, obviously seriously injured and losing his combat effectiveness.

Behind this corpse, there were two young men and women in strange robes, with angry expressions on their faces and cold eyes, nailed to Wei Tao's body.

"You killed my spirit beast, and you can't help but say that you will attack me, do you really think that I can suppress and bully me at will if I have a good temper?"

"Forget it, we can discuss the specific compensation issue next."

Wei Tao brushed away the black ash on his hands and looked back at the past with an expressionless face.

"Do you know who we are?"

Maybe it's because I can't bear the more between the fields

The atmosphere became heavier and heavier, and the young woman opposite gritted her teeth and took a step forward.

Katsa!

Her head exploded.

The headless corpse stood upright for a moment before falling to the ground with a thud, a cloud of snowflakes in the air.

A flash of scarlet flashed in Wei Tao's eyes, "I was talking about how to compensate, and I didn't ask who you were."

The middle-aged man who collapsed to the ground struggled to raise his head, "Do you know who she is, you dare to kill the Five Elements Heaven......

Katsa!

Another flash of cold light.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened as he watched his body get farther and farther away, and soon fell into darkness in front of him.

"You just shot at me without warning, do you really think I won't kill you?"

Wei Tao sighed, as if trying to squeeze out a smile, but in the end he didn't succeed.

He turned his head to look at the young man who was shivering at the end, "So, who the hell is she?"
