Chapter 32: The vortex leads the snake out of the hole
Zhijia Zhen looked at Chitokumi with an inquiring look.
Qianfu Gui came to Zhijia Zhen, less than half a foot to face, the breath exhaled from his mouth was thin and hot, lingering with a sweet and greasy fragrance: "You are very calm, you don't look surprised, no wonder you are a spy from the General's Mansion." ”
"In our line of work, we are used to accidents, and we are not too surprised when we encounter anything. Zhijia took a step back without a trace, keeping his distance from Chitoku. He has always been jealous of witches and will not believe what the other party says. What's more, cunning and ruthlessness is the nature of demons, and deception is even more commonplace.
Thinking of Ying Zhao, the demon body trembled involuntarily, as if a bloody wound had been torn open, and the wound was mixed with terrible pain and sweetness. Zhijia Zhen subconsciously took out a snail mulberry leaf, rolled it up and lit it, and took a deep breath.
"Tell me, what's going on?" he exhaled a curling puff of smoke, taking in the chaos of the demon's body.
In the envoy's cabin, Pan Zaiyi quietly looked at the squirming floor flesh wall, and a demon corpse slowly emerged.
"Master, this is the corpse of the demon that the Mole Smoke Spirit found this morning. Like the ship's passenger who died a few days ago, this demon also died in his cabin. Yan Mu stood beside the corpse and said with a solemn expression.
The vertical lines on Pan Zaiyi's eyebrows bloomed, and the heavenly pupil shot out a strange light and fell on the corpse. There was not a single scar on the Majin's body, and his large, scaly mouth was wide open, and his eyes were narrowed, and he maintained an ecstatic smile.
The muscles of his face had stiffened, and his smile was particularly eerie.
"His internal organs were not hurt. Pan Zaiyi's heavenly pupils turned slightly, and his gaze stayed on the demon's head, "The demon source in his brain is damaged." ”
Ting Gong jumped up, jumped on the chest of the demon corpse, and with a "poof" of his electric claws, he easily penetrated the heavenly spirit cover above his head and dug out the demon source.
This magic source is only the size of a sesame seed, much smaller than ordinary magic sources, the color is dull and gray, and the surface is cracked and intertwined. Ting Gong glanced at it a few times, pinched it casually, and the demon source immediately shattered into powdered sand. "Five demons died in five days, one every day, and all of them were damaged and died in their own cabins. Ting Gong bared his teeth and said, "Needless to say, it must have been a good thing done by the demon who got on the boat!"
Yan Mu said uneasily: "I don't know what powerful means that demon has used, not only can he avoid the prying eyes of the mole smoke spirit, but he can also sneak into the closed cabin. ”
With a flick of the sleeves of Pan Zaiyi's robe, the corpses of four demons appeared on the flesh wall of the floor one after another, all of which were the ship's passengers who were killed a few days ago. In order to avoid causing a riot on the ship, the corpses of the demons were quietly transferred here, kept secret, and even Li Zhu was kept in the dark.
The four demon corpses were all intact and inconspicuous, except for the expressions on their faces: they were dumbfounded and surprised, or their eyes were glazed and confused, or their facial features were distorted and their anger was discolored......
Pan Zaiyi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Except for the spar ticket, only the Dao array of the imperial envoy cabin can be opened. If the demon casts a spell to break through, it will inevitably trigger a warning from the Dao Array, which will be detected by us. What's more, the hatches of these demons are intact, and there is no sign of invasion by foreign enemies. ”
Yan Muqi said: "What does the master mean that the demon did not enter the cabin, and killed a few of them through the hatch?"
Pan Zaiyi bowed slightly: "The demon source of the demon corpse has shrunk significantly, and it is densely cracked, so it should have suffered some kind of spiritual attack." The five of them were happy or sad, and their emotions before they died were particularly high-pitched and intense, more as if they were manipulated by their minds. That demon may have attacked with a huge and powerful demonic mind, causing them to have mood swings, because this fluctuation was too violent, completely beyond the demon's own spiritual power, thus causing the demon source to collapse and die of heavy mental damage. ”
Yan Mu suddenly said: "That demon's demonic thoughts must be extremely strong, so this distorted the consciousness of the mole smoke spirit and escaped our monitoring!" She was stunned, "Master, this demon's demonic thoughts are unfathomable, if you are single-mindedly hidden among the passengers, I am afraid it will be difficult to find out." ”
Ting Gong laughed sharply, and shot a fierce light: "According to my intentions, just run the Dao array with all your might, kill all the demons on the ship, and ensure that the demon is like lice on a bald head - you can't hide it!"
"You old bastard only knows how to do it!" Yan Mu glared at him and said angrily, "Several of the ship's passengers have some backgrounds this time, such as that Qianfu Gui, who came from the craziest and most desperate Asahi Army. It's not difficult to kill them, but after that, our black ship can't get out easily!"
Pan Zaiyi pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "The ship is about to reach the vortex of the leylines, right?"
Yan Mu replied, "There is still half a day to come." As is customary, we will dock at the leyline vortex for a day. "The leyline vortex is a secret realm in the depths of the leyline, which not only produces all kinds of strange treasures, but also lives some mysterious leyline races. An important reason why boat passengers take the black ship is that they can go to the leyline vortex to hunt for treasure, or trade with the local leyline clan.
"How can it be enough to dock for one day?" Pan Zaiyi's eyes flashed, and the four demon bodies sank back into the flesh wall of the floor, serving as nutrients for the giant loach, leaving only today's fresh demon corpses in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pressed the eyebrows of the demon corpse, and ran the secret method of the Ghost Valley-the Soul Capture Technique, and a little divine sense was forcibly separated by him, and slowly merged into the demon corpse.
The demon corpse trembled violently, its arms trembling to the ground, and it sat up slowly, the cracked hole above its head slowly closed, and its dull eyes flashed a hint of strangeness.
"Master, this is to lure the snake out of the hole. Ting Gong smiled, watched the demon corpse stand up straight, and walked out of the envoy cabin step by step.
Not long after, everyone on the ship was informed by Li Zhu that in order to compensate for the fright of the ship's passengers on the second floor of the leyline, the black ship would dock in the leyline vortex for three days.
"The undercurrent near the leyline vortex is very turbulent, and all kinds of dangers emerge one after another, and it is extremely difficult for the black ship to dock for a day, let alone three whole days? Fuji hovered in mid-air, following behind without sticking.
Approaching the leyline vortex, the demons walked out of the cabin and converged on the deck of the front cabin. Ji Du mingled in the crowd, walking forward unhurriedly, and the demonic thoughts quietly extended to everyone.
Zhi Hunting's gaze swept over a dry demon man, wandering. Qian Yugui snorted: "Don't count, there are five less demons on the ship, it will definitely not be wrong." My talent is the best at discerning demonic energy, and as long as the demons have been on the boat, their breath will be firmly remembered by the golden epiphany. ”
At this time, the demon corpse attached to Pan Zaiyi happened to turn out from the other end of the corridor.
Qianyugui's expression changed immediately.
