Chapter Ninety-Six: Demon Souls
The panicked day has finally passed, and what awaits the people is the unknown night. For the past month, the streets used to be brightly lit every night, but recently because of strange events, the townspeople can only huddle at home, waiting for the long-lost dawn in fear.
No one knows whose child will be missing next, or even himself! A small town that was once quite prosperous has become lifeless. These people don't even dare to say big things, and when they fall asleep, they are all anxious. They wanted to go, but they didn't know where to go, and there was only one town within a hundred miles. If you walk in the wilderness, bad luck may strike at any time.
I thought that the soldiers sent by the Yamen could save the town from panic. But I didn't expect that these soldiers were powerless at all, not that they were lazy and afraid of death. It's these series of strange things, one after another, that have told these mortals. There is nothing you can do but watch things continue to happen, and you will be immersed in this great haze all day long.
The people of the town moved to the yamen under the arrangement of the government. The yamen, which didn't seem to be small, suddenly came with so many people, but it seemed a little stretched. Thousands of men, women, and children from the town gathered in the yamen tonight.
Shi Yifeng told the Lord Zuo that these people must be quiet and try not to make a sound. Otherwise, that terrifying monster will come directly to the yamen. When the time comes, it may cause a lot of casualties. That Lord Zuo, who was also a shrewd person, naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, and went all out to recall all the officers and soldiers back to the yamen to take charge of order.
At this time, Shi Yifeng led the way in front, and Ren Bufan and Xu Yinshan accompanied him all the way. The three men stopped as they walked to the entrance to Flying Tiger Town.
According to Hikaru Sada's description, this is the way that that thing must go. The three of them took advantage of the darkness to go behind a big tree, and used the big tree to hide their tracks, so as not to discover them before the thing entered the town.
Since this thing can be cultivated with the help of blood food, it must have a high level of spiritual intelligence. Although I don't know what its strength is, it may not be as good as the blood corpse outside the deep capital city. Regarding the strength of the monster, Shi Yifeng and the others were not very worried, the most worried was that if this monster had human intelligence, he would run away if he couldn't beat it. That is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles.
In the late autumn season, the people were the happiest when the crops in the fields had been harvested. Especially at night, the moon is bright in the sky, and the moonlight is as clear as snow. The breeze blows gently, and from time to time you feel a hint of coolness, and the old saying is that the clouds are high and autumn.
Several people have been busy hurrying all these times, but they don't have time to enjoy the wild scenery. I didn't think that on this night, I would have time to appreciate it. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, it took a long time to withdraw his gaze and look at each other, and then he focused his attention on the surroundings.
"It's coming!" Shi Yifeng couldn't help but stand up straight, looking in the direction of the woods. It was a full five or six miles away from the woods, and he could only sense a pitch-black mass with his divine sense, which was rapidly drifting towards the place where the three people were standing.
Ren Bufan's cultivation is not small compared to Shi Yifeng, when Shi Yifeng just finished saying this, he couldn't help but wait for it, holding a string of rather simple Buddha beads in his hand, this string of Buddha beads seemed to be spiritual, exuding a faint golden light.
Xu Yinshan, who was not far away, saw that the two of them were ready, and they hurriedly ran their true qi at the moment. Among the three people here, his cultivation is the weakest, and he is still some distance away from the Jindan realm, so he can only rely on his induction power, and beyond the distance of dozens of zhang, he can't sense anything.
Finally, after only a few breaths, a black mist appeared in front of the eyes of the three people. Rao is here and in the night, this black fog is also very special. In the black fog there was a faint shadow of an inhuman, this shadow looked like some kind of beast from a distance.
It's a tiger! It's the form of a tiger! After Shi Yifeng sensed it again, he found that the soul of a tiger in the black mist was roaring wantonly inside.
"Stop!" Seeing that the black mist had already reached the outside of the town in just a few breaths, the three of them got up together and stood in the middle of the avenue, side by side. Regardless of whether the other party could understand human language or not, Shi Yifeng instinctively shouted.
The monster in the black mist suddenly stopped, as if it had been blocked by the cry just now.
"Who do you think this seat is? It turns out to be three humans with a bit of cultivation! I didn't expect to meet three monks with Taoism in this town, and I was worried that the people in this town would not be able to cast spells in this town, but now I don't have to worry! Hahaha。。。。。。 ”
Unbridled laughter rang out violently over the empty land. The piercing sound kept ringing in the ears of several people. This scene surprised the three of them, they didn't expect a soul body in the form of a demon beast to be able to speak.
Sure enough, Shi Yifeng and the others were not mistaken. The black mist in front of them began to slowly dissipate, and what appeared in front of them was a soul in the form of a tiger. It's just that this soul seems to be more condensed compared to the soul that Shi Yifeng has seen in the past.
"Could it be that this beast is the Yuan Infant Realm?" Shi Yifeng couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.
Without waiting for him to think about it, the soul that floated more than a foot above the ground suddenly changed. Dense black mist began to appear around the entire soul body, and these black mist seemed to have spirituality, quickly sweeping towards the three people, wanting to swallow them all.
Shi Yifeng looked at the forms one by one, knowing that this black mist might have something else powerful, so naturally he couldn't let the black mist envelop the three of them in it. At that moment, the incantation was chanted in his mouth, and in an instant, a huge light shield emitting a faint light enveloped the three of them.
Just after all this happened, a violent black fog also came to several people at the same time. It is still Shi Yifeng's light mask that has been transformed by his own spiritual power to have stronger defensive power. Those black mist continuously hit the light mask, and it lasted for a long time to have a stick of incense, but after all, it did not break through the defensive shield of Shi Yifeng's spiritual power transformation.
"What! You are a mid-stage Jindan cultivator who has actually cultivated into a domain!" The tiger-shaped soul body, which was more than a foot above the ground, seemed to can't believe what he had seen with his own eyes, and shouted loudly, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness, and this look of obvious fear.
Shi Yifeng didn't know how he could see such a rich expression on a beast face. But his intuition told him that the tiger in front of him was obviously afraid! Fear was mixed with a trace of disbelief and a flash of unwillingness.
"Shi Daoyou, it's going to escape!" Ren Bufan is equipped with Buddhist skills, and he has already reached the Jindan realm. It was easy to see the tiger-shaped soul body that was once arrogant not long ago, but now it found that several humans were not easy to deal with, so it asserted that it wanted to flee without a fight.
"You're going to run, you think too highly of yourself!" Unexpectedly, although the soul slogan was loud, the movement was unexpected. The entire soul body, along with the black mist around it, instantly galloped towards the direction of the woods, and the speed far exceeded that of the time when it came.
In a few breaths, it was already a mile away from the three of them.
"Chase Xu Daoyou, you stay, go back and tell the people in the town, let them all go back to rest, and Ren Daoyou and I will go to hunt for the demon soul." Tomorrow morning, we will meet at the inn!" Shi Yifeng hurriedly dispersed the light mask, hurriedly said a few words to Xu Yinshan, and then quickly recited the spell and chased after him first!
Ren Bufan saw that Shi Yifeng took a step first, and after turning his head and glancing at Xu Yinshan solemnly, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the whole person shot away quickly in the direction that Shi Yifeng was chasing.
The sound of "huh" and "huh" came out of mid-air, Shi Yifeng suddenly fell, and after a while, Ren Bufan's figure also appeared here. The two of them glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
Originally, the speed of the light shield of the two was much faster than that of the soul body, but Shi Yifeng deliberately slowed it down, the purpose was to find the lair of the demon soul, so as to completely destroy it. Although Ren Bufan didn't know Shi Yifeng's plan, he saw that Shi Yifeng's speed was much slower than usual, so he naturally had his own plans in his heart, and then slowed down his speed and followed Shi Yifeng all the time.
When the two chased here, they suddenly found that they had lost the trace of the demon spirit, and then they quickly landed from the sky. Look at what is going on, this look, I found that in the depths of the jungle, a huge hole appeared for no reason.
The entrance to the cave in front of me was the size of a zhang, and countless weeds were growing around the hole. In the dark mouth of the cave, a disgusting smell constantly wafted outward. The two even found a pile of animal bones scattered on the ground not far from the entrance of the cave.
Although it was night, Shi Yifeng's cultivation was naturally like day. What makes people vomit is that there are still some undried blood stains on those white bones. The two of them walked in and took a look, before concluding that the bones were probably the animals that had been lost in the town.
It's just that what makes them feel strange is that among these white bones, there is no bone found in the girl who was taken yesterday.
"Ren Daoyou, fortunately, that girl may still be in the world. But this is the lair of demon spirits, there may be a lot of organs inside, you and I must be careful!" Turning around slightly, he slowly spoke at Ren Bufan, Shi Yifeng's expression was indescribably solemn under the illumination of the moonlight.
