099 Flower Demon
After the rain, the jungle is filled with white fog everywhere, and the visibility is extremely low.
The remaining rainwater was dripping from the trees that covered the sky, and the monks who were walking were already soaking wet, and the monks with abundant spiritual power could forcibly dry the rain on their bodies with their spiritual power, but it didn't take long for them to get wet as well.
The weather was unpleasant.
But at this moment, Chen Ping didn't care about these at all, and he had a sense of unease.
That spirit sparrow had flown away since the last time it was frightened by a second-order demon beast, and it never flew back, and Chen Ping had no way to detect the situation on the periphery at the moment.
He reached out and touched the evil charm in his arms, and it seemed that the fever level had not increased significantly.
This gave him a slight sigh of relief.
Half finger incense post.
Just as everyone was resting in place, the forest suddenly reverberated with a melodious chant.
The sound is beautiful and pleasant.
'That's great, isn't it?' ,... Everyone was tired, but now their mood became soothed.
I didn't expect that in such a dense primeval forest, there were still rural people. ,
'These people are too risky, aren't they?' ,
Venture?
Chen Ping suddenly sobered up, and he realized that he had lost his mind just now.
This made him break out in a cold sweat.
Turning his head to look at the others, they all seemed to be intoxicated.
There's something wrong with the chanting. , Chen Ping was shocked.
"Jingle jingle!"
At this moment, a crisp bell sounded, faintly suppressing the melodious singing.
"Cover your ears or listen intently to the sound of the heart-purifying bell. The chanting was caused by the spirit demon, so don't be confused..." The disciple who transmitted the message ran back and forth from the head of the team to the end of the team, shaking the bell as he ran.
"Fellow Daoists, don't panic, there are many of us, wait for it to change, they don't dare to do anything to me."
「......」
Everyone couldn't tell if this was Ning Mansion's comfort or if it was true, and they were all nervous.
Fortunately.
After a few moments, the chanting faded away.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ning Qing also ran back. After waking up from the chanting just now, he ran to the front to inquire about the news.
"Ning Daoyou, dare to ask what kind of spirit demon this is?" Chen Ping inquired. This original owner is really not enterprising, and the amount of knowledge he has about the outside world is indeed a bit small.
It's all the original owner's pot.
Ning Qing obviously asked about the general situation:
"It is said to be a flower demon, which belongs to a kind of spirit planting demon, as for what kind of flower demon it is, it is unknown."
Chen Ping felt that after this trip, his eyes had to open up a lot.
... For the first time, he faced a second-order demon beast.
... For the first time, I heard the chanting of the demon.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter any evil spirits. ,
This is a blessing in misfortune.
Chen Ping gets to the bottom of it:
"What's the matter with the chanting? Is it specifically aimed at us?"
"Mostly." Ning Qing also seemed to have palpitations:
"The Flower Demon has a strong sense of territory, and most of these actions are because they think that we are threatening their territory."
"But there is also good news, the flower demon does not like to hurt people maliciously, as long as we know that we have no intention of hurting them, maybe there will be no conflict."
That's good.
I hope so!
Chen Ping nodded:
"Did your master say when he would leave again?"
"It's coming."
Sure enough, it was soon.
After half a pillar of incense, with the sound of the head of the Ning family, the team moved again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But it wasn't long before the chanting began again.
Qingxin bell followed.
Chen Ping lifted his heart and scanned the surroundings, keeping his guard against the potential unknown.
But that's it.
His heart suddenly tightened.
On top of a giant tree in the distance, there was a woman in yellow sitting, smiling, fluttering, with two long legs hanging down, dangling.
With an eerie aura.
Obviously, not only Chen Ping saw it, but many other monks also noticed this scene.
Later, someone pointed out that there was also a woman in red in another place.
The third, the fourth...
"It's beautiful."
"I feel like they're looking at me." Someone sighed.
"It's up to me."
「……」
Chen Ping felt the scorching burning sensation from the evil talisman in his arms... This is a demon, and it is also evil, or maybe it is a combination of demon and evil.
"Come on, since you're coming, let me try the effect of my Tiangang Thunder against evil spirits." ,
When the incident became unavoidable, he realized that he had no panic.
Some are just calm.
With the lessons of the past, Chen Ping always maintained twelve points of vigilance and did not let himself fall into disorientation again.
At this time, the loud voice of the head of the Ning family floated:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are just passing through this place, and we have no intention of offending you, and we will not hurt you. Please also allow me to pass safely, Ning thanked me again."
Immediately afterwards, the messenger reminded softly:
"Fellow Daoists, don't look directly into the eyes of the flower demon, beware of losing your mind. Fellow Daoists, don't..."
Then there was silence.
There was a long silence.
During this period, the Ning Mansion did not sit idly by, but was silently busy preparing for the worst.
Chen Ping suddenly found that some people were staring at the flower demon in a daze... It seems that Ningfu is late to remind, and someone is still recruited.
Lin Changshou seemed to be unavoidable, staring at a flower demon at the moment, with an intoxicated look of joy on his face, and even began to step towards the flower demon.
"Smack!"
Chen Ping slapped him in the face.
Lin Changshou woke up suddenly, touched his hot face, and came back to his senses after a long time in a trance:
"Hey, this flower demon is really powerful, so many people are on the way."
"Lin Daoyou, among our group, you are the only one." Someone reminded.
"Huh. Dazzled, dazzled." Lin Changshou's old face turned red... If you can't speak, don't speak.
Chen Ping's attention was on the flower demon, his fingers pinching, ready to stimulate Tiangang Thunder at any time.
There was another silent standoff.
Then, the flower demon slowly disappeared into the jungle.
Finally gone...
Actually gone...
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely happy, and at the same time, he felt a trace of regret.
The team set off again quietly.
After walking for a few miles, there were occasional flower demons looming during the period, but after all, there was no more chanting, which was a thrilling encounter.
The days went on and on, and every day in the forest was tormenting, and every day there were monks who couldn't stand it.
Zhang Zheng hadn't spoken much for a long time, and Lin Changshou was completely quiet.
Yu Lingchun followed Chen Ping closely throughout the whole process.
There was only the sound of rushing.
On the twenty-second day, Chen Ping noticed that the diameter of the trees in the forest was getting smaller, and occasionally a section of the path that had been cleared appeared.
On the twenty-sixth day, an exclamation woke up a group of numb, emotionless passers-by.
"There's a village ahead."
The ranks boiled.
Having a village means stepping out of the Endless Forest and into the mortal life area. It means that you can stay and reorganize and replenish supplies.
… Survived!
