Chapter 284: Soul Eater
The entire Flying Star City was submerged in the Forbidden Spirit Mist, and it wasn't until Zhang Liang and the others came to this silent Flying Star City that they didn't encounter any danger along the way.
However, the calmer it is, the more vigilant the crowd becomes.
After all, it was impossible for Flying Star City to be swallowed by the Forbidden Spirit Mist for no reason.
What's more, here, perception will seem to be obscured by the fog of the forbidden spirit, as if perception also has a visibility, which will be blurred once it crosses a certain boundary.
And Zhang Liang, as a powerhouse of the gods, the perception range is still occluded, and he can probably see a range of several kilometers.
In the sky above Flying Star City, Long Yue and the other gods and demons had a short exchange, then returned to the team and immediately ordered: "You should all know the map of Flying Star City, below, led by Yuan Ying, explore in the two places of Flying Star Fang and Martial Arts Street." Look for clues that are out of the ordinary. In case of danger, immediately meet at the Mercury Tower in the Flying Star Place. If you haven't found any clues after half an hour, you can meet at the Tower of Mercury. β
"Yes, sir."
Everyone responded, Flying Star City is so big, if you really encounter some danger, the support of the strong will definitely arrive immediately, but they are not too worried.
The problem now is that everyone knows the danger, but it is not clear where the danger comes from. This is what the Avatar Demon wants to know, and they seem to want to judge their next move based on the source of the danger.
At this moment, Zhang Liang had a question in his heart, that is, where did the strong person who refining the void go? What's he doing?
There are strong people who refine the void, and Zhang Liang thinks that the incarnation outside the body should not be able to threaten him. However, everything cannot be said to be absolute, and there is almost no doubt that the external incarnation senses that it has come in, and it will inevitably take action.
After all, at this moment, the battle heaven and ancient earth are equivalent to the home field of the incarnation outside the body.
Zhang Liang took eight Jindan monks to Wudao Street, which was originally a neighborhood that focused on teaching and selling demon fighting techniques. For example, Zhang Liang's mastery of the Eight Methods of Fighting and Fighting can completely open a faΓ§ade here, and even say that he has opened a sect and is widely preached. Of course, advance is within the scope of the royal city's promise.
"My lord, what should we do?"
Someone asked Zhang Liang about it.
Zhang Liang said casually: "Search one store after another, mainly to distinguish some unusual places, corners, once you encounter a problem, don't solve it yourself, call me." β
Zhang Liang has not yet felt the movement of the Realm God Mirror at this moment, but this does not mean that it is safe, it may only be that some dangers are not enough to pose a threat to himself, after all, his real strength now can be regarded as the late stage of becoming a god, but even if it is the peak of the god, it is not particularly difficult to kill.
In this case, if you want to pose a threat to him, I am afraid that you will have to incarnate yourself from outside.
At the moment when everyone was about to disperse, Zhang Liang suddenly reminded: "Pay attention to the hidden corners, if you see a demon insect, remember to send a message immediately." β
Zhang Liang wasn't sure to what extent the incarnation outside his body had mastered the insect control technique now, but he was definitely much stronger than himself. Zhang Liang knew that his own level of insect control skills was actually average, and the reason why he was keen on insect breeding before was mainly because he relied on the resources of thousands of miles of coral reefs.
The incarnation outside the body is different, he is the bloodline of the ancient fierce beast Zerg, and he is naturally familiar with the method of controlling insects, and even has such a heritage. Therefore, Zhang Liang thought that the most powerful incarnation outside the body should be the insect control technique, and facing the powerful insect control master, this is a rather dangerous thing in itself.
"Yes, sir."
Everyone dispersed, but Zhang Liang did not act. Because he knows that danger will come, and it will come against him. If you can't find it, just wait.
In the past about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Liang suddenly felt a familiar aura approaching.
"Ah~"
Almost at the same time as the aura appeared, a scream came from the back of a certain shop.
Zhang Liang's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone gathers." β
"Bang Bang Bang~"
However, at the moment when Zhang Liang gave the order, he was surrounded by thousands of kilometers. Almost simultaneously there was a roar, a fight, a scream.
Zhang Liang's figure flashed, and he saw a Jin Dan in his team, entangled by a tall and burly, but translucent black phantom.
The black phantom vibrated around him, and his shadow turned into countless twisted tentacles, which had pierced through the Jindan demon.
"Ancient Evil Spirits?"
Zhang Liang reacted instantly, this is the ancient evil spirit in the record of the Ancient Land of Zhan Tian, which was transformed by the resentment of the strong man who once fell in the Ancient Land of Zhan Tian and the remnants of the power left.
The ancient evil spirits that can be left behind for thousands of years in the ancient land of the war heaven are usually the aggregate of a variety of ancient evil spirits, and their strength should not be underestimated, especially since they themselves are the remnants of the power of the ancient powerhouses, so in terms of combat skills and all magic abilities, they even inherit ancient techniques, so they cannot be underestimated.
The Jindan powerhouse was obviously attacked by a surprise attack, and finally reacted at this moment when he was dying, and quickly used his demon skills, the tide of sea swords, and stirred the ancient evil spirits in front of him.
However, as soon as this trick was used, an ancient evil spirit rushed out of the ruins of the battle, and attacked from behind, a sword light with a dead breath pierced the body of the Jindan demon in an instant, and the speed was so fast that even the Jindan powerhouse couldn't prevent it at all.
This time, Zhang Liang saw clearly that this ancient evil spirit rushed out of the ground directly.
If the ancient evil spirits all came out of the ground, then why didn't they come out before, and they had to wait a while to come out?
Moreover, they came out in a rather tricky position, and the attack behind them was obviously premeditated.
"It's kind of interesting."
Zhang Liang didn't mean to help immediately, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
"These ancient evil spirits actually know how to cooperate? Doesn't it mean that these are all nihilistic beings who fight only by instinct? Where does the wisdom come from? β
In the Immortal Sea, some things will indeed give birth to their own spiritual wisdom in a long period of time. But the ancient evil spirit, a life form, even if it can give birth to a little spiritual intelligence, it is not to the extent that it can cooperate, Zhang Liang has understood it before, this root is the aggregate of residual soul power and power residues.
At this time, Zhang Liang seemed to feel that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, who was controlling all this.
"The familiarity comes from these ancient evil spirits, the breath of my own spirit. In other words, these ancient evil spirits have all been incarnated outside the body? β
In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes is almost certainly his own incarnation.
Only, why not wait for the attack to start at the beginning? Is it to wait for someone to be left alone?
"Brush Brush~"
Zhang Liang slashed through the sword tide with two swords in his hand, and instantly swept over the two ancient evil spirits.
I thought about killing and blowing up two ancient evil spirits to see if they could be found, but the two ancient evil spirits exploded at the moment of Bei Zhan, and there was nothing left.
"Huh! It doesn't seem to be the case. β
Zhang Liang hadn't known about it before, he had encountered a lot of ancient evil spirits in the ancient land of Zhantian, and he had never heard of it exploding when he touched it.
"Your Excellency."
Because this martial arts street is very short, everyone was not very dispersed, so the moment the battle started, someone immediately retreated to Zhang Liang's side.
But seeing a Jindan demon coming quickly, followed by three ancient evil spirits, Zhang Liang was naturally bound to lose, only to see him push forward with one palm, and the sea water suddenly formed a sword light vortex, which immediately shattered the three ancient evil spirits.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
In the same way, the death of these three ancient evil spirits was not normal, they all exploded with a bang, and there was no residue at all.
Then, Zhang Liang took the initiative to fly to the place where several other people were, but this time he didn't shoot directly. For example, he suddenly appeared in front of an ancient evil spirit. The ancient evil spirit seemed to have mastered some kind of powerful marksmanship in front of him, and at this moment, he gathered his strength into a spear and burst out with a powerful blow, and his strength was comparable to that of the late stage of Jindan.
Zhang Liang pinched the illusory spear with his fingers, and even took the initiative to be stabbed back by the spear. But at this moment, the ancient evil spirit actually took the initiative to explode, and with a loud "boom", Zhang Liang clearly saw a wisp of light gray substance that seemed to envelop him.
Of course, Zhang Liang wouldn't let him succeed, but with a wave of his hand, the tide rolled by, sweeping away the gray substance.
"Three dead."
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, the ancient evil spirits that can cooperate with each other will be a fatal blow to the exploration team this time.
"My lord, it's not good, there are more and more ancient evil spirits."
Zhang Liang also saw that in all directions, a large number of ancient evil spirits rushed out of the ground. At this time, they don't seem to pretend anymore, and it seems that they want to fight the crowd tactics.
I only heard Zhang Liang say: "Everyone, you should rush to the Mercury Tower immediately." β
"What about you, my lord?"
Zhang Liang: "I'll be there later." β
The remaining five Jindan powerhouses were stunned when they heard this, they thought that they had followed the weakest Yuanying. But now this Yuanying Lord is willing to be the queen of the palace, which makes them extremely moved for a while.
"Hurry up, you're here, it's only going to get in my way."
"Yes, sir."
The five of them turned around and left, immediately rushing to the Tower of Mercury, waiting for a few people to disappear into the fog. The number of ancient evil spirits that broke out of the ground was already as high as thirty or forty.
"Ding~"
At this moment, Zhang Liang did not hesitate to use the fixed body pattern.
Yes, Zhang Liang actually branched out those Jindan demons, he was only in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, so the matter of mastering the Dao Pattern was known by others, and if it leaked out, it was easy to be suspicious.
In particular, the fixed Dao pattern can almost be regarded as its own originality, and in the inheritance of the Kraken, there are few records about the Dao pattern, so for unnecessary trouble, it is necessary to branch out those Jindan demons.
However, he saw that an ancient evil spirit instantly stood up to his body, followed by countless sword shadows around Zhang Liang, and immediately slashed in all directions, instantly crushing other ancient evil spirits with a sweeping momentum.
I saw that Zhang Liang came to the ancient evil spirit, and his fingertips immediately burned with a blood-colored flame with golden light, which burned the ancient evil spirit almost instantly.
But his purpose was not to kill this ancient evil spirit, he was trying to find a way to control this ancient evil spirit by avataring outside his body.
Zhang Liang guessed that if at this moment, in countless places in Flying Star City, there were thousands, or even tens of thousands, of ancient evil spirits, it would obviously not be something that could be controlled by an incarnation outside the body.
With the power of the divine soul of the god powerhouse, it is simply not enough to control so many ancient evil spirits at the same time.
Therefore, if the incarnation outside the body controls the ancient evil spirits, there must be another way.
Sure enough, the next moment, the blood fire burned an almost transparent thing hidden in the body of an ancient evil spirit. Judging by the feedback from the flames covering its body, it was a bug.
Then, a message appeared in Zhang Liang's mind: "The third-order mid-grade soul devouring worm, this is a spirit worm that can be fused into the divine soul, once it is integrated into the divine soul, it is formless and phaseless, and it can hide itself and drive the parasitic until it is completely eroded by the parasitic soul, and use this to strengthen itself." β
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth were slightly hooked: "No wonder, I'll just say why I have a sense of familiarity with these ancient evil spirits, it turns out to be your old business after all." The means of controlling insects are always changing, and in the end they are still parasitic. β
The next moment, Zhang Liangxin moved, and a wisp of divine soul attack erupted, almost just a random sweep, and the soul devouring insect was directly crushed.
"Poof!"
It's a pity that at the same time that the Soul Eater was crushed, this ancient evil spirit was also burned out.
However, the last thing that the fairies here lack is the ancient evil spirits. Thirty or forty of them had just been killed here, and another twenty or thirty popped up from the ground.
This time, Zhang Liang didn't even use his sword again, only to see a golden bell directly above his head.
"Knock~"
With the sound of a bell, the ancient evil spirits paused almost simultaneously. Although they are still coming towards Zhang Liang, both their speed and strength have dropped significantly, and they no longer cooperate with each other.
"Sure enough."
Zhang Liang knew why the mere god controlled so many ancient evil spirits. Obviously, the out-of-body incarnation was only refining them through the parasitism of the divine soul. However, the method of controlling insects has its flaws, if you need the spirit insects to form a cooperation, then it must be driven by the divine soul, that is, to leave a trace of divine thought in the body of each spirit insect, even if this trace of divine thought is less, then there must be it.
Otherwise, just relying on the spirit worm's own divine soul power, it would not be able to do such a thing as a complex cooperative battle.
The other point is that these Soul Eaters can't be too advanced. Zhang Liang, who has cultivated spirit insects, knows that the cultivation of spirit insects requires time, resources, and energy, and the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to cultivate.
After all, it was less than two hundred years since he was separated from the incarnation outside his body, and even if he was fed to death, it would be impossible for him to feed tens of thousands of sixth-order spirit insects. Not to mention the sixth order, the fifth order is extremely difficult.
Therefore, Zhang Liang guessed that these soul devouring insects, either third-order, fourth-order, or both, needed to be distributed according to the strength realm of the ancient evil spirits themselves. With the strength of Jindan, only a third-order spirit worm is needed to parasitize. With the strength of the Yuan Infant, the fourth-order spirit worm can be parasitic.
Then, as long as you use the magic of the divine soul to directly destroy these demon insects, these ancient evil spirits will no longer be controlled.
"A bit of a means, but not much. If that's all there is to it, then your time of death has come. β
Zhang Liang muttered, stopped fighting, and turned his head to swim towards the Mercury Tower. (End of chapter)
