The demonic aura gradually subsided.

The rain clouds gathered again, the wind and rain returned, and the ears were filled with the sound of noisy rain.

Zhang Yi looked in a trance, holding the body of the third lady and didn't know where to go.

And the other three have already entered the granary.

The granary is just a cover, and a huge hole has been dug into the ground, which is the body of the demon nest.

It was pitch black inside.

The three of them held torches and tilted all the way down.

Soon.

The Taoist priest suddenly smelled a stale demon stench.

"What's that?"

Yu Mei suddenly spoke.

But at the edge of the firelight, there was an outline of teeth and claws, ready to pounce.

The Taoist priest Fang raised his sword, Yu Mei had already raised his hand and threw it, a trace of cold light in the air swirled and swirled, and the silhouette had already fallen to the ground.

The three of them surrounded them.

found that this was a thing of a praying mantis on the upper body of a spider with a lower body, Li Changan looked at it strangely, and fell to the ground, like a leaky doll, a little bit of a squeak, a little flat?

So he picked it up with the tip of his sword and turned it over, and saw that there was a long gap behind it, and the flesh, organs, and bones in it were empty except for a layer of dry and thick skin.

Feng Chong checked.

"It should be the remnants left behind after being completely replaced by parasitic demon insects. ”

"It seems that this is really the lair of monsters, and the batch we caught in the Golden Mansion should all be transformed here. ”

Li Changan nodded and raised his fire forward.

Where the fire shines, the monsters are scattered, densely turned, and the road ahead is congested.

......

The three of them walked through one demon after another.

Li Changan looked at the firelight, and a hideous appearance appeared and disappeared.

He was suddenly distracted.

He remembered that dozens of chapters ago, he had chased down a spider spirit and had broken into the monster's lair, which was also piled up with many hollowed-out flesh and blood sacs.

At that time, the spider spirit had hid in its skin and took the opportunity to sneak attack.

And at this time, are there also monsters hiding in it, waiting for an opportunity to pounce?

The rancid smell on the tip of the nose worsens in an instant.

Li Changan is a spirit.

"Beware!"

He raised his hand and grabbed Feng Chong's back collar and pulled it hard, and in the next moment, a sharp claw stuck in the tip of Feng Chong's nose flew by.

It was an ape-like monster, who had been pretending to be mixed in the group of relics, and even let go of Yu Mei in front of him, and waited until Feng Chong, who was not good at martial arts, approached him, and suddenly revealed his minions.

This monster is indeed cunning, and if it misses a blow, it will burrow back into the pile again.

Unfortunately, a red shadow flew by, and the snow light sword light burst out.

In the "squeak" scream, the ape demon was knocked to the ground by Yu Mei's sword.

It struggled under the sword, and as it moved, clumps of fur peeled off from its body, revealing milky muscles and putrid pieces of flesh and organs.

Yu Mei was another sword, piercing the center of its eyebrows.

Pressed down, the frightened Feng Chong pinched his nose and stepped forward.

"The white one is the body of the worm, and the rotting flesh should be the flesh of the host, it seems to be a deformed child who has failed to metamorphose, and may have been left to guard this place. ”

The words fell, and the cave suddenly lit up, and a wave of heat hit people behind him.

Hurriedly turned his head to look.

It turned out that when Fang had just been attacked, Feng Chong panicked for a moment, and threw the torch in his hand into the pile of relics.

I didn't expect those skins to be so dry and flammable.

In the blink of an eye.

It was lit and became several blazing torches.

If it continues like this, if it becomes a prairie fire, the three of them will be suffocated to death if they are not cooked.

Fortunately, the relics here were not as dense as when they were first discovered, and the three of them quickly separated the unlit ones, piled the burning ones together, and lit a bonfire.

It's all over the work.

The three of them were surprised to find that there was a little bit of light behind them.

Look back.

The broken light is like the stars in the sky, converging into a brilliant galaxy.

It turned out that before I knew it, I had reached the end of the cave, and then there was a stone wall several feet high.

A huge butterfly was silently attached to the stone wall, it was silent, it did not react to the arrival of the three of them, only its wings stretched out, occupying the entire stone wall.

The "Milky Way" that Li Changan saw was the fluorescence reflected by the scale powder on its wings.

Quiet and beautiful.

It should have appeared in some dream full of flowers, not in this deep, foul-smelling cavern.

Li Changan had to admit that at that moment, he had taken it for him.

This is not the reaction that a regular visitor should have.

He laughed at himself, only to find that someone was even worse than him.

Daoist Feng had already stepped forward and looked carefully by the light of the fire.

"The fluff is like tassels, the wings are tough and silky, and the scales are like gold and silver grinding and doping......"

His expression changed from puzzled to surprised to excited, and even the whole person was attached to the wings of the big butterfly.

Fortunately, the big butterfly seemed to be a dead thing, and didn't pay attention to him, so he muttered while touching it:

"That's right, that's right! That's ......."

"Phantom Butterfly. ”

But it was Yu Mei who suddenly said the answer.

Li Changan: "......"

Forgive him for being lonely and unheard, as an unheard wild Taoist priest, he really hadn't heard of the name of this demon.

Feng Chong couldn't understand his ignorance, and hurriedly said:

"Hainan Strange Butterfly, this is the South China Sea Strange Butterfly!"

Daoist Li became more and more confused: "Is it a hundred fantasy butterfly or a South China Sea monster butterfly?"

"The Hundred Fantasy Butterfly is the South China Sea Strange Butterfly, and the South China Sea Strange Butterfly is the Hundred Fantasy Butterfly. ”

Feng Chong finished dancing, but saw that Li Changan was still smiling politely but embarrassed.

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Brother Dao, forgive me, I'm anxious. ”

He apologized very cultivatedly and spoke slowly for Li Changan.

"This demon is called a hundred phantom butterflies, and it only haunts the mirages of the South China Sea. Born in the illusion, long in the illusion, also known as the South China Sea Strange Butterfly. ”

"On the border of the South China Sea, there are occasional ships docking, the ships are empty, the goods in the warehouse are all there, and there are no traces of fighting, and the natives say that this is recruited by the Dragon King of the South China Sea. Or, there are catechumen who go to the South China Sea to seek immortal mountains, lucky to be appreciated by the immortals, enjoy themselves in the fairyland to the point of dying and dying, and want to bury their hometown when they are dying, but return to Sangzi, but find that their parents are still there, and their wives are still young, most of them are mirages parasitic by butterfly demons at sea, which are caused by their illusions. ”

"This demon is already rare, and its whereabouts are unpredictable, and few people in the world know about it. Even if it is my master, no one has seen the real thing for thousands of years, only a few lines of records in the dossier, and it was obtained from Bai Ze (a divine beast, who knows the appearance of all things in the world). ”

As he spoke, Feng Chong became more and more excited, and he stared at the big moth, like a poor game party staring at a 3080ti.

"Brother Dao, Lord Yu, when I saw it, I finally understood the identity of that Lang Zhong!"

"He's the Phantom Butterfly. ”

Feng Chong's eyes lit up.

Don't look at the past ten days, he just stayed in the mountains, unlike Li Changan who patrolled the city night and night to guard against demons, but in the face of Lang Zhong's helplessness and the lack of progress in the treatment of the demon plague, it made him exhausted.

Now, to be able to uncover Langzhong's true body, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds, and it is inevitable that it will talk endlessly for a while.

"This demon is dividing himself into two, hiding his true body here, and turning the primordial spirit into an illusion and walking outside. No wonder it plucks its heart and gouges out its eyes, peels its skin and bones, and it can do nothing. It turned out that the mountain was just a phantom body, and no matter how tortured it was, it was just a stab of the blade into the running water, and it would not really hurt it. ”

That is to say. Li Changan interjected, "Only by killing this butterfly can you kill Lang Zhong?"

"Nope. ”

Feng Chong shook his head.

"The Hundred Illusion Butterfly is different from ordinary creatures, it is an illusory thing, the body is the soul, and the soul is the body. Whether it is destroying the phantom body on the mountain or the real body in front of you, you can't really kill it, only by uniting its body and soul can you completely destroy it. ”

"Hmm~"

Li Changan pondered for a while and asked a very disappointing word.

"If you kill the Hundred Illusion Butterfly, can you cure the person who has become a demon?"

The excitement on Feng Chong's face suddenly froze, and he snorted a few times, holding up a wry smile.

"There's something to be done. ”

All right.

I just can't.

However, the demon nest was exterminated tonight, and for the demon plague in Xiaoshui, for example, a seriously ill person had the lesion removed, although he could not completely recover his health, but he could prevent the condition from continuing to deteriorate.

He saw that there were no more monsters, so he was ready to beckon the two of them to get the big butterfly off the wall together, so that he could quickly call it a day and go back to the mansion to change into a dry dress.

At this time.

Yu Mei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke again.

"Strange. ”

Is that strange? Li Changan was about to ask.

Feng Chong tugged at his eyebrows and said the same: "It's really strange." ”

So what's weird about it?

Fortunately, Feng Chong took the initiative to explain:

"The Hundred Illusion Butterfly is a monster that exists in a mirage, and it shouldn't appear in this world?"

Li Changan was puzzled.

"The charm can appear in the downtown area, why can't the Hundred Illusion Butterfly?"

"It's not the same between the two. Feng Chong explained, "Although the charm was born in the miasma of the mountains and forests, after all, it is a creature in the world, and it can survive when it is out of the habitat for a short time. But the Hundred Illusion Butterfly is different, it is an illusory thing, born in an illusion, and can only exist in an illusion. Or rather, it's part of a mirage in itself, unless ......"

He made a little joke.

"Xiaoshui City is a mirage......"

Feng Chong's words seemed to have opened some valves, and Li Changan felt that there seemed to be an idea that he had ignored was about to surface in his mind, but at this time, Feng Chong suddenly stopped.

The Taoist priest looked up in confusion.

"Feng Daoyou?"

He found that Feng Chong's hand was raised in mid-air and did not move, his mouth was slightly open, and the whole person stopped in the posture of speaking, as if at that moment, time had stopped in him.

Li Changan turned to Yu Mei.

"Lord Yu?"

The same goes for Yu Mei.

Like a sculpture, there is no response at all.

Li Changan's nerves suddenly tensed, and he was even a little creepy.

Not only because of Yu Mei and Feng Chong, but also because he found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the sound of rain outside, the sound of hot wind agitation, and the sound of flames churning were all cut off in an instant.

He turned his head to look back.

I saw the solidified flames.

......

It's as if someone pressed the pause button.

Except for Li Changan himself, everything else in the world froze, including the churning flames.

And when the flames quieted down, they looked like wisps of red light mist, no longer ferocious, but soft.

Li Changan poked his hand.

Hiss.

It's still hot.

That's good.

The Taoist priest smiled and returned to Yu Mei and Feng Chong.

He was not polite, and first searched Feng Chong's body for all the talismans and magic weapons that could be used.

went to Yu Mei again, first helped her remove the mask on her face, rubbed her eyebrows, and rounded her slightly closed phoenix eyes. Sure enough, it's Ame who grew up.

He nodded in satisfaction.

treated everyone equally, and also collected the bits and pieces on Yu Mei's body into his pocket.

Then he shook his full pockets, pressed his long sword, and walked alone to the cave of dead silence.

I'd like to see.

What the hell is going on in this place?
