Chapter 16: Demon Beasts
As the two of them went deeper into the Soul Separation Valley, the cold feeling became stronger and stronger, and corpses gradually began to appear on the road, and it seemed that these corpses were all people who had entered the valley before to find an opportunity.
Ji Lingshan was still ashamed to be pinched by Ling Zixuan's little hand before, but now she was affected by this eerie and terrifying environment, but she grabbed Ling Zixuan's hand tightly and didn't let go, and she got closer and closer to Ling Zixuan.
Ling Zixuan frowned slightly, this kind of Yin Soul Qi was obviously not normal, it was not like the natural formation of the valley, and he had also carefully observed, and he had not found any artificially arranged magic circles.
Suddenly, he stopped, stared in the direction of the right for a long time, and then pulled Ji Lingshan to the right.
At this time, a group of people were also walking towards the depths of the fog, an old man led the way in front, and behind him, a girl with a pale face and four attendants, followed closely behind the old man, not daring to distance himself, for fear of being lost in the fog.
"Grandpa Wu, how long will it take to reach the edge of the Star Lake where the Dementor Grass grows?" The girl asked suddenly.
"It's coming, it's not far ahead, let's speed up, and we can get there in less than half an hour." The old man replied as he hurried.
Suddenly, the girl felt that she had stepped on something hard under her feet, and when she looked down, she was so frightened that she leaned directly on the body of a man behind her, and the men hurriedly surrounded the girl, and the man who was approached by the girl said with concern, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"On the ground, there's a skull on the ground." The girl said tremblingly, pointing to the ground.
It turned out that she had stepped on the skull of an adult just now, so she was startled. The few men around him breathed a sigh of relief, this bad environment was already breathless, and being startled by the young lady like this, everyone's nerves became even more tense.
"Hurry up, it's almost there." The old man was not affected by the girl's surprise in the slightest, and urged everyone to continue on their way. After walking for less than half an hour, they came to a calm lake, which was what the old man called the Star Lake, and it was said that the Dementor Grass would often appear on the edge of the Star Lake.
"Miss, it's finally here, as long as you find the Dementor Grass, your illness will be saved."
One of the men who took the lead finally relaxed his nerves and smiled. The old man was observing his surroundings, his two cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, staring at the surface of the lake and carefully searching for his target, as long as he found traces of Dementor Grass, he immediately acted.
Because the Dementor Herb is a spiritual herb that likes to absorb the aura of the night, and will change the location of its appearance at any time.
"Miss, let's rest here for a while, the Dementor Grass probably won't appear until evening. Lane, a few of you go find some dry firewood to make a fire and keep the young lady away. The old man looked at the young lady whose body was already trembling, and immediately ordered several men to act separately. Stay by your side and keep her safe.
In a short time, several men lit a fire, and the warm light of the fire shone on the girl's pale face, making her finally feel the warmth she had not felt for a long time, and a smile appeared on her face. Everyone sat around her, waiting for the night to fall.
Just as they were raising the fire, there was a slight fluctuation in the surface of the Star Lake in the distance, and a huge head in the shape of an inverted triangle slowly stretched out from the water, stared at the direction of the firelight, and then dived into the water without a sound.
At this time, Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan also slowly walked into the range of the Star Lake, and they stopped on the other side of the Star Lake. Ling Zixuan clearly saw a slight fluctuation on the surface of the lake, and it seemed that he had discovered that there were living creatures in the lake.
Judging from the huge aura revealed in the lake just now, this demon beast should have been cultivating for at least five hundred years, which fully met the requirements of the formation spirit in the formation arrangement method in his mountaintop courtyard.
Ling Zixuan asked Ji Lingshan to sit in place and rest for a while, he had to wait for the demon beast to completely come out of the water to forage for food, and then he could take it in, so he could only wait for the opportunity.
As soon as they sat down and were about to rest, there was a little fire in the distance, Ling Zixuan immediately got up again, his eyes faintly shone brightly, and after seeing the familiar figures opposite, he shook his head. In such a dangerous area, you dare to make a fire, isn't this looking for death?
While he was still hesitating to warn them, the demon beast in the lake quickly swam towards the place where the fire was shining.
"Not good!" Ling Zixuan directly pulled Ji Lingshan and flew in the direction where the group of people was.
"Grandpa Wu, is it your first time here?" The girl with a pale face saw that everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little dull, so she opened her mouth to chat with Grandpa Wu.
"Yes, miss, it's my first time here, but my senior brother came in once before, and saw the Dementor Grass, but when he wanted to pick it, he found that the Spirit Grass had already escaped from the ground. That's why this time I suggest that you bring a few of Li En's together, so that you can have more control if there are more people. Grandpa Wu said to Miss.
The girl looked at Grandpa Wu and nodded, just when she wanted to ask Grandpa Wu again, suddenly her face changed dramatically, her mouth opened wide, and her body trembled even more.
The old man surnamed Wu saw the young lady's suddenly shocked face, and immediately stood up and turned to look above the young lady's gaze. A giant python that reached the sky, standing more than five feet tall, on the huge inverted triangular head, two eyes the size of golden copper bells stared straight at them, and the tongue in the mouth was half a meter long, spewing out flexibly like a beating flame.
"Miss Protection!" Li En also saw this behemoth at this time, and stood directly in front of the girl, staring nervously at the giant python. The other three men immediately surrounded the girl. The old man surnamed Wu had obvious panic in his eyes, his previous composure was completely gone, for such a huge demon beast, he knew that this time it was more auspicious.
The giant python's blazing golden eyes glowed with red light, dragging its huge figure and slowly approaching Li En and the others. Half of the giant python's body is exposed to the surface of the lake, reaching an astonishing height of more than five zhang, and if half of it is underwater, the whole giant python is ten zhang long. The old man surnamed Wu and Li En's bodies trembled unconsciously.
Afraid! Really scared!
No matter how powerful a martial artist is, when he sees such an ungodly thing, he has a terrifying reaction. And the girl with a pale face was so frightened that she opened her mouth to shout, but it was as if someone had grabbed her throat and couldn't make any sound at all.
Seeing that the giant python had completely climbed onto the shore of the Star Lake, after seeing its complete body, everyone was even more desperate. Lane looked back at the young lady and shouted at the three men, "Take the young lady away!" Then he took the short knife in his hand like crazy and flew towards the python.
The giant python saw Li En rushing over, like a bow and arrow shot by a full bowstring, and bit Li En, who had reached the middle stage of martial arts, raised his head into the air, and bit down.
"Poof!" Li En was directly bitten and swallowed by the python like tofu, and the blood slowly dripped down the python's neck and fell to the ground. The sound of every drop of blood falling on the ground seemed to break through the last line of defense of everyone present. A loud shout finally came out of the girl's mouth, "Uncle Li! ”
The python quickly devoured Ryne, and then began to stare at a new target. And it was clearly more interested in the girl, two giant golden eyes like brass bells watching her on the other.
After the old man surnamed Wu saw Li En's sacrifice, he also gave up his desire to survive. glanced at the young lady who grew up, turned around with a smile, and took out the array plate on his waist. A mouthful of essence blood sprayed on the array disk, and then threw it directly at the giant python.
The giant python swallowed the flying array plate, and with a bang, the array made a violent explosion sound in the mouth of the giant python, but the giant python didn't care at all, and gave a smoking burp.
The old man's vision became distracted, and he didn't expect that the fire-based array disk he used to save his life was not even as good as a fart. He watched the giant mouth getting closer and closer to him, then closed his eyes and was devoured by the python.
When the girl saw that Grandpa Wu was also killed by the giant python, the whole person calmed down, and she didn't cry or shout, and the calmness made people feel terrible.
Because she knew that it was useless to do anything now, and there was no point in doing anything. At this time, she deeply felt her own insignificance, the insignificance of mortals. Watching the three entourages around her being devoured by the python one by one in order to protect her, her tears flowed.
The giant python finally came to the front of the girl, one is a huge monster beast ten zhang long, and the other is a girl who is only less than one meter six, two huge differences of individuals face to face together, forming a very strange picture.
At the moment when the python was about to open its mouth to devour the girl, a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared between the python and the girl.
His appearance surprised the girl, but for some reason, the girl felt that this ghost was more dangerous than the python, and she was even more afraid. And the giant python seemed to be very afraid of this ghost, lowered its huge head, and obediently spat out the snake letter.
The ghost pressed the huge head of the python with his hand, and the staff in his hand was facing the python's mouth, and then from the python's mouth, a series of yin spirits appeared, and these ghosts were absorbed into the staff. These yin spirits should be the souls of Li En and the others who were devoured by the giant python just now.
The girl looked at this ghost with a surprised face, is this a person or a ghost?
The ghost's entire face was covered by a black cloak, so he could only be seen as a man, and it was impossible to see what he looked like or what his body was.
After receiving several Yin Spirits, he turned to look at the girl, and then said in a piercing voice: "You are actually possessed by Yin Spirit, this is rare, it seems that this Yin Soul is a cultivator, and after death, he will treat you as a host, and it happens to be cheap for me, Gege... ”
The girl felt that her body was bound by a force, and she could not move at all. It was evident that something on his body was being consumed by the wand of the ghost. Gradually, the girl's consciousness began to blur, and then she fell to the ground in front of her eyes.
"Sure enough, it's a great supplement!" The ghost laughed happily after absorbing the ghost that had been stripped from the girl's body with his staff. Then he slowly walked towards the girl who had fallen to the ground. "It's a pity to kill it, you can take it back and be a puppet girl to serve me."
A pale, skinny palm stretched out from the cloak and grabbed at the girl who had fallen to the ground. However, before the hand could touch the girl's body, it suddenly fell to the ground weakly, and only a cleanly chopped and bleeding wrist was strangely suspended in the air.
