Volume 2 Divine Sword Guardian Chapter 86 Broken Soul Slope
The Broken Soul Slope covers an area of hundreds of miles, it is not big or small, with Qi An's body speed, it only takes two or three hours at most to cross, but this is the place where beasts and demons live, how can people wantonly break everywhere?
A group of ten people was led by Yan Biao's master and apprentice, Wu Baonian and the Shao brothers broke off, and the rest of the people responded in the middle and cautiously entered the Broken Soul Slope.
The distribution of beasts and demons inhabiting the Broken Soul Slope is not uniform, there are few in the outermost area, and the more you go inside, but when you get close to the inner circle, it decreases sharply, and if you mark the area with the most dense beast demons, it is about an irregular ring.
Everyone marched quite cautiously and slowly, not only to pay attention to the surrounding sounds at all times, but also to keep themselves from making a sound, after all, this is a place where monsters are rampant, maybe one is not careful, it will be attacked by one or a group of beast demons, so no one dares to take it lightly, even the rather arrogant Qidao people also bowed their bodies and followed the movement like a light cat.
This speed is as slow as a mortal walking, and it is not a flat road, but in the mountains and forests, the road is difficult to walk, and it will take at least a few hours to reach the set target area. But everyone is very patient, and no one complains about anything, and the occasional communication is almost always based on eye gestures, for fear of being targeted by the beast demon.
At first, it was quite smooth, I didn't encounter any danger, I didn't see a single beast demon, and I don't know if it was because they were too well hidden, or if the outermost beast demon number was too scarce.
After about half an hour, Yan Biao at the front suddenly stopped, and as soon as he stopped, everyone behind him also stopped.
Yan Biao looked cautiously, turned around and lowered his voice and said, "There are blood stains ahead, there was a battle not long ago. ”
Wu Baonian walked past everyone to Yan Biao's side, listened attentively, and said, "There is no movement, I guess they have all left." ”
Yan Biao turned his head to look at his disciple Bao Tong again, this honest young man who was silent nodded and said, "They should all be gone, and I didn't smell the smell of beasts and demons." ”
At this time, Qi An probably saw that the members of this group of demon slaying team should have their own unique skills, Wu Baonian estimated that he had good ears and strong hearing, while Bao Tong had a keen sense of smell and could smell the smell of the beast demon.
Since there was no danger, the group continued on their way, and when they reached the place where the battle had taken place, there was only a large pool of blood on the ground, which had gradually dried up, and it was evident that some time had passed since the battle had taken place, and no body had been found.
Yan Biao glanced at it a few times, and then said: "It was the beast demon who died, it is estimated that it was killed by other demon slaying teams, and the body has been taken away." ”
Wu Baonian analyzed: "There is only one bloodstain, it should be a second kill, and the person who shot is very strong, and he may also come at the ape-headed iron-backed bear." ”
Wei Mou interjected and asked, "Then should we speed up a little bit?" lest we be preempted!"
Yan Biao shook his head and said: "No, there is still a long distance from the destination here, let this group of people help us open the way first, and then we will follow slowly, impatience is easy to cause chaos, the top level beast demon is not so easy to kill!"
Wei Mou nodded and didn't speak, while Yan Biao beckoned, "Let's get out of here first, the smell of blood is likely to attract the attention of other beast demons." ”
Yan Biao was the leader of the demon slaying team, and he had great experience in hunting, so everyone naturally had no objections, they all listened to him, maintained the previous formation and followed the planned route, and continued to go deeper towards the Broken Soul Slope.
Not long after, Bao Tong suddenly grabbed Yan Biao and handed him a look, Yan Biao nodded knowingly, and the master and apprentice quietly took out their weapons, both of which were a spear and a shield.
The short spear in Yan Biao's hand was only four feet long, with a red tip and a smell of blood, it was the [Killing Beast Spear] that he had purchased from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion not long ago, while the spear in Bao Tong's hand was slightly longer, but it was less than five feet, and the spearhead was larger and longer, it should also be a low-level attack weapon, and its power was estimated to be inferior to the [Killing Beast Spear], and it was likely that Yan Biao replaced it for him to use.
The shields made by the two are also different, Yan Biao's shield is pointed above and below, with a larger area, which can cover half of the body, while Bao Tong makes a round shield, which is much smaller, and the diameter is about the same as the length of the forearm. But these two shields are estimated to be not mortal, and if you look closely, you will find that there are runes engraved on the shields, and they are all low-level magic weapons.
Walking behind the two of them was Yan Suqing, who also showed a solemn look on her pretty face, and a five-inch long knife appeared in each of her hands, staring closely ahead.
At this time, a black monkey as tall as an adult came out of nowhere, suddenly jumped to Bao Tong's side, his red eyes were shining with fierce light, his mouth let out a piercing scream, and at the same time, with a wave of his forearm, he grabbed Bao Tong.
Qi An and the others, who were standing behind, saw this scene, and probably guessed that this was the fire-eyed monkey that Yan Biao and they were talking about, it was a low-level beast demon, the individual strength was not strong, equivalent to a monk in the early stage of condensation, with thick black hair all over his body, only the hair around the eye frame was reddish-brown, and the two eyeballs were also red, and his personality was very ferocious, eating both fruit and raw meat, and he usually took the initiative to attack when he saw humans.
"Good time!"
Bao Tong let out a low roar in his throat, waved his left arm, and smashed it with a shield against the monkey's claw, making a muffled sound of "bang", Bao Tong took a big step back, and the fire-eyed monkey was also smashed by Bao Tong's shield and rolled to the ground, Yan Biao, who was standing next to Bao Tong, took a step forward directly, and stabbed the fire-eyed monkey to death with a spear.
At this time, a series of piercing screams were heard, and countless fire-eyed monkeys rushed out of the bushes one after another, all of them were black monkeys the size of adults, and even the screams sounded above everyone's heads, and one after another the fire-eyed monkeys jumped up from the trees, instantly surrounding the demon slaying team.
This group of fire-eyed monkeys was numerous, at least hundreds, and as soon as they rushed out, they launched a direct attack.
Since the demon slayer team marched one after the other, lined up in a column, everyone in the team was attacked by the fire-eyed monkey at the same time.
At this time, it can be seen that the cooperation between the front and rear ends is maintained very well, a group of three, attacking and defending each other, advancing and retreating, obviously an experienced demon slaying veteran, and the few new temporary members in the middle are taking care of each other and not helping each other.
Everyone remembered what Wu Baonian said before, and none of them escaped, fighting hard, and were roughly divided into five battle circles.
The front end is Yan Biao's father and daughter and apprentice Bao Tong, and the tail end is Wu Baonian and the Shao family brothers.
The middle is divided into three regiments, Qi An and Qi Dao people fight separately, the two of them have high cultivation and strong strength, and there is no pressure, only the Wei couple is a little difficult.
Wei Mou is in the middle stage of condensation, and the fire-eyed monkey is not a big threat to him, but his wife Diao Yan only has the strength of the early stage of condensation, and it is no problem to go one-on-one with the fire-eyed monkey, one against two is a little difficult, one against three is very reluctant, and even very dangerous, and often has to rely on her husband's help to tide over the difficulties.
Qi An was willing to help, but his position was slightly closer to the end of the team, and there was a Qidao person in the middle, and the whip was beyond his reach.
The Qidao people's fighting style is very special, he has no melee weapons, and from time to time a shimmering yellow talisman appears on his two hands, and the talisman is engraved with all kinds of mystical runes that cannot be understood. I saw that the Qidao people threw the talisman casually, and after the talisman left his hand, it turned into a firelight, shooting at a fire-eyed monkey like a meteor, and exploded on its body after contact, instantly igniting a raging fire, burning the fire-eyed monkey to scream, and after a few breaths, it turned into a charred corpse, which was very terrifying.
And the Qidao people are not only this kind of talisman, there are at least several kinds of talismans on his body, some of them turn into electric light, like thunder to slash the fire-eyed monkey, so that its monkey hair explodes, seven holes bleed to death; some turn into a wind blade, a slash, can cut the fire-eyed monkey in two; some into a cold air, can freeze the fierce monkey into a lump of ice; the most wonderful kind of talisman can be transformed into a withered vine, the fire-eyed monkey is entangled and besieged, and it cannot be found, this is a good way to catch the beast demon alive.
In the entire battlefield, the attack method of the Qidao people is the most fancy and gorgeous, and the power is also very great, and the killing efficiency is very high, these fire-eyed monkeys are basically killed by one of its moves, even if they don't die, they are seriously injured, or they are restrained by the withered vines and can't move, and even the Wei couple not far away next to them are also under great pressure, and there is no danger.
No wonder this person is so arrogant, obviously his strength is strong, looking at this performance, it seems that he is the top figure in the late stage of condensation, not much worse than the peak of condensation.
But what Qi An didn't know was that although the talisman was powerful, it could be consumed very much, and each talisman was a resource, and it would be gone after one use, which was completely a hurtful way of playing, and the poorer cultivators couldn't afford to play at all, and fortunately, the Qidao people came from the treasure talisman concept, and they were talisman makers themselves, and the talismans used were made by themselves, and the cost was greatly reduced, so as to be able to support this fireworks-style money-burning method.
This type of talisman looks gorgeous and has great lethality, but even if you are a talisman maker yourself, the cost is greatly reduced, and it burns more resources than other normal genres.
Like other people, after this fight, meditating and pranayama for a while, he basically recovered, and there was no actual loss, and the talisman used by the Qidao people would not change back, and it would be completely gone, and when he finished this fight, he didn't know how many talismans he would use.
Therefore, the cultivator who attacks the main talisman usually does not use his hands, and he can not use the talisman, but the Qidao people seem to have no other means of fighting except throwing talismans, and the beast demon will not stop to negotiate with him, and as a last resort, he can only use the talisman to attack, but every time he uses a talisman, the face of the Qidao people is ugly, and now the whole face is almost as black as charcoal.
