Chapter 175: Infestation
Zhang Yu walked out of the main hall of the Xuanfu Mansion and returned to the flying boat.
He counted the time, and the timing of the appearance of this chaos monster was very coincidental, not long after the destruction of the Restoration Society's station.
Will this be a follow-up to the Divine Society, or is it really just a chance bump?
He thought about it for a while, the monks guarding the town of Xuanfu were not there, and now although there were still armored soldiers stationed in the Duhu Mansion, the strength of Xuanfu had become a little weak.
Although he didn't think that anyone was bold enough to invade the Xuanfu, if he only wanted to try to get something out, it would not be difficult to do it, and he still needed to be guarded against here.
He said, "Deacon Xu." ”
Xu Chengtong immediately responded: "Patrol, Xu is here." ”
Zhang Yudao: "You stay outside the Xuanfu, if someone can take advantage of the gap to attack, you will defend against the enemy." ”
Xu Chengtong said respectfully: "Don't worry, Xu will guard this place." ”
Zhang Yu snorted, and after Xu Chengtong left with his disciples, he drove the flying boat to the south of the Duhu Mansion.
After about ten breaths, the white boat appeared in the sky above the southern open plain, and from here, looking down, you can see a large group of galloping horses on the earth spilling in one direction like a tide.
There are also natives who follow the herd on horseback, and there are natives who graze cattle on the slopes of the hills, which are supposed to be southern tribes.
Originally, these large tribes were also a huge threat to the Metropolitan Protectorate, but now that the Metropolitan Protectorate has Xuan soldiers and armored soldiers, there is no need to worry about these tribes rebelling.
And these natives also knew the power possessed by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and now they have all become very peaceful, and they are also very deferential to the officials sent by the Metropolitan Protectorate.
After arriving here, he floated down from the white boat, took out the paper talisman from the star bag, let it float in front of him, and when his heart light turned inside, the paper talisman also shone slightly, and then pointed in a direction, and flew there.
He also followed, the rune paper does not go in a straight line, sometimes spiraling, sometimes going up, this should be chasing the whereabouts of the Ji Dao person, so look at it, his person should be chasing something, so the flying trajectory is in such a situation.
It's just that the rune paper flew somewhere, and suddenly it seemed to come into contact with something hot, and it burned out of thin air with a snort, and then turned into ashes and flew away.
Zhang Yu didn't bother with any of this, because he had discovered something more important.
At this moment, in his eyes, a huge clearing appeared in the jungle in front of him, a huge clearing with a radius of several miles, as if a piece had been dug up by life.
Not only that, but the grass and trees around the clearing were scorched, and there was something like black asphalt inside, and wisps of black mist were emitted from time to time, and this mist also emitted a strange and strange fragrance.
Of course, at his level, he didn't need to inhale the smell into his body, he only knew it by induction.
He took a closer look in the sky, these things were very similar to the methods of the Hun Zhang monk who was infected by the Great Chaos, and there were indeed traces of a fight here, but judging from the breath leaked, the battle was not fierce, and the two sides looked like it was just a temptation, and then they both went to the depths of the dense forest.
He raised his eyes and looked at the dense forest in front of him, the terrain in the south was generally flat, and there was a huge gap in Ansan after arriving here, many tribes from the south, including the Solid Claw tribe he had sent before, came from this gap, but the scenery in the near distance was very easy to identify, but the back was a blur, and it should be a place where the turbidity tide was relatively strong.
He shook his body and continued deeper along the folded mountain.
At this moment, even if there is no paper talisman to guide the way, but two people with great power are chasing and fighting here, no matter what, they will leave traces, even if the turbidity tide can't cover it up.
It can be seen that the fighting is intermittent, and the chasing side is very cautious, and several long-lasting fights broke out, and it seems that the fleeing side looks below, and that Ji Dao person is also a little capable as a defender of the town.
But generally speaking, if this kind of monk who comes to the remote border, if not appointed by the Xuan Court, then most of them feel that they have some kind of defect, so they will take the initiative to come to guard the town and sharpen themselves.
Following the traces of the battle, he entered a continuous mountain range, which was a branch of the Ansan Mountain, and he could see that there were several huge charred black potholes on the mountain, as if they had been bombarded by the Xuan soldiers, and one mountain was cut into two sections from the middle, forming two huge cliffs, and the battle became obviously fierce here.
As he continued to gallop, he saw a Taoist standing on the ridge of the mountain, this man had a broad forehead and a long beard fluttering on his chest, and his mind turned, and he slowly floated down, standing not far from the side of this person.
Ji Daoren didn't turn his head, but said, "Daoist friends are here." ”
Zhang Yu looked ahead, just below the foot of the mountain, there was a deep pit, which was filled with asphalt-like viscous black objects, and also emitted a little flickering fluorescence, and in the deepest part, there was a large humanoid object lying in wait, half of the body was flesh and blood, half smoke, and there were streaks of things that could not tell whether they were hands and feet or tentacles scattered around the body.
He said, "It seems that Daoyou has already eliminated this chaos monster. ”
Ji Daodao: "Although this person has changed a lot, and his strength is also strong, but the strengths of the chaos monsters are these, their thoughts and consciousness are often confused, which is a big taboo in the battle, I just need to respond calmly, it is not difficult to get rid of it." ”
Zhang Yudao: "Really?"
Chaos monsters are strong enough to endlessly seek the Great Chaos, with a steady stream of power and no special weaknesses on their bodies, compared to these, confusion is not the same thing at all.
And not all Chaos monsters are like this, some of them are just because of their own changes that have led to a transformation in their perception of external objects.
The world can't accept it, it's from the standpoint of the world, but if it is put on the chaos monster, some of them take it for granted.
Generally speaking, Chaos Monsters can only be eliminated if they are completely dispersed, but this one is still intact, and it is not clear from the appearance how it was destroyed.
Ji Daoren sighed: "It's just that I've been fighting with this thing for a few days, and I've seen many things, which makes my heart quite troubled. ”
Zhang Yudao: "I don't know what's the trouble?"
Ji Daodao: "I see the possibility of another path, if you follow this path, then you may be able to go to the highest realm." ”
Zhang Yu glanced at him, a cultivator's Dao heart is not so easy to shake, especially this person who has already cultivated to the realm of Yuan Shen Zhaoying, and it is not so easy to shake his heart, unless it is ......
He said indifferently: "No matter how you go, it is your own choice." ”
Ji Daodao, "Really?" As he spoke, he turned around.
But it can be seen that his eyes have become dark at this moment, looking extremely weird, he looked at Zhang Yudao: "I thought that Daoist friends would persuade me to give up?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Why should I persuade? How a cultivator practices is completely autonomous, and outsiders are blameless, even if they can't control themselves, it's also their own business, but if the Taoist friends do something that goes beyond the boundaries and involves others, then I won't sit idly by." ”
Ji Daoren muttered: "Indeed, although this method can glimpse the upper realm, it is difficult to restrain itself, and if it is allowed to continue, it will inevitably involve irrelevant people." ”
As he spoke, the color in his eyes began to fade, but not long after, another black qi surged.
Zhang Yu looked at his changes, and he deduced that this should be when he was fighting with that chaos monster, he was invaded by a part of the other party's breath, and these breaths were connected with the Great Chaos, there were endless mysteries in it, and there were cultivators who wanted to know a lot of truths.
If you never come into contact with it, it is fine, but once you do, it is difficult for the monk to resist the temptation.
But there was nothing he could do to help him. This is completely a change in the cultivator's own heart, even if he can suppress this person, it is useless, on the contrary, the greater the pressure outside, the more likely it is to force some kind of change in the person's heart, which will harm the person.
So all this can only be solved by his own family, but if he can pass this level, it may still be a fate for his people.
Ji Daoren's expression changed uncertainly, his heart seemed to be struggling, and the aura on his body changed back and forth several times.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting darker.
And at this time, the blackness in Ji Daoren's eyes finally completely retreated, he let out a sigh of relief, looked up at Zhang Yu, and said gratefully: "Thank you Daoyou, if it weren't for Daoyou's reminder, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pass this level." ”
Zhang Yu said calmly: "No need to thank you, since Daoyou has already made a choice, then in order to avoid Daoyou hurting others, then I have no choice but to capture Daoyou." ”
Ji Daoren frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Even if you think that you have restored yourself, it is still different after all, you might as well take a look at your feet." ”
Ji Daoren looked down, the setting sun hung on one side, and a long shadow was drawn under him, but at this moment, it was not a human form, but a monster with countless arms and tentacles, and this shadow was spreading outward at an extremely rapid speed as the sun receded, like a water stain poured on the ground.
It's just that when he saw this, instead of being surprised, he raised his head and wondered, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Yu looked at him, and the person in front of him could no longer be said to be the original Ji Dao person, because he had changed from his mind to his mind.
Although he himself does not think so, in fact, this transformation has been completed silently.
He still seems to be sane, but in fact he has fully embraced the Great Chaos, and sees the world as a Chaos Monster, which is more dangerous than a complete confusion in his mind.
His eyes flashed, and a bright light shone out of itself, illuminating the entire ridge in an instant!
