Section 87 Soul Eater
He clearly remembered that the last time he came to see it, the "big crocodile" was about 20 meters long, and when he looked at it again today, it had grown to nearly 30 meters long. Could it be that he ate some strange feed? Long Xiaomo was horrified in his heart, rubbed his eyes and continued to observe. I saw that the big crocodile was sleeping soundly at this time, the two forward horns were still the same, the three petals were separated, the insect-like mouthparts were hanging weakly at this time, and the corners of the mouth were oozing some mucus. The difference is that the scale armor that used to look like a crocodile on its body is now bumpy and disgusting.
Long Xiaomo, who was carefully observing, suddenly felt that someone had been patted on the back, and couldn't help but be smart, and when he looked back, it was Xing Ling'er who was patting him. In the darkness, Xing Ling'er pointed to the walls on either side.
Long Xiaomo looked along the walls, and saw that the walls around the cave entrance were inlaid with small gray stones every two feet or so. Around the entrance of the cave, it is densely packed and arranged there like a chessboard. Long Xiaomo reached out and gently touched the small stones. You can clearly feel a cool feeling coming through your body. The spiritual power in the body seems to have been sensed, and it slowly escapes from the body along the point of touch. This kind of feeling, Long Xiaomo only experienced it once when he swallowed the "Soul Chasing Pill".
Seeing Long Xiaomo coming out in a daze, Xue Rengui couldn't help but reach out and touch a gray stone.
"Huh. Xue Rengui couldn't help but exclaim softly, and touched a gray stone next to him incredibly, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this is the Soul Eater Stone?"
Everyone immediately focused their eyes on Xue Rengui's side, and Long Xiaomo couldn't help but ask, "What is a Soul Devouring Stone?"
Xue Rengui said: "Three years ago, when I was fighting in Liaodong, I once led a team to exterminate a group of Goryeo rogues entrenched in the local area. These gangsters are very fierce and will not surrender when we kill the last 5 people. Four of them were back-to-back guarding a shaman-like man, and we fought to the end. The shaman claimed to be under the protection of the Immortal Heavens and wanted to fight us to the end. That shaman does a strange dance that makes us feel unstable. Fortunately, the "old pole" in the back row shot a cold arrow in time to shoot the shaman to death. We later found an identical stone on the shaman's body. There is a soldier of the Goryeo tribe in our army who said that this salvation legend is the "Soul Eater Stone", and in Goryeo, only a shaman of a considerable level can own and control it, and there will be no more than 50 pieces in the whole of Goryeo. Brother Long, you see, the stone walls around here are densely packed, and I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred. ”
Long Xiaomo frowned and said: "When I was a child, I heard my father Long Kui say that the shamans in the Goryeo area of Liaodong are good at spiritual arts, and they are good at communicating with all living beings, and the most amazing of them is the soul devouring technique, it seems that this thing is true." But the fact that there are so many Eater of Soul Stones on the surrounding stone walls is really unexpected to me. ”
Xing Ling'er said on the side: "That Wang Bo, who claims to be "Zhishilang", originally started from Changbai Mountain in the northeast, and it is not strange to be good at these shamanic witchcraft. We have basically investigated the current situation, so let's go back and report to Yuan Zhenren. ”
Long Xiaomo stretched out a finger and shook it in front of her eyes and said, "It's not easy for us to come here today. Yuan Zhenren only knew that it would take time for the Yin and Yang Twin Kun to become evil, but he didn't know that Wang Bo was so powerful. The big crocodile had more than doubled its body compared to the last time. It's useless to go back to Yuan Tiangang and tell Yuan Tiangang Lao'er about this matter now. He can't finish dealing with a bunch of frustrated things in his own hands, so how can he have the energy to be distracted from the mess here. ”
Speaking of this, Long Xiaomo turned his head and stared at Xing Ling'er's eyes and said, "Ling'er, I have received your heart for me, although I haven't passed the door yet, but I am very touched by the future Lang Jun who knows how to feel sorry for you." ”
Xing Ling'er took a sip and said, "Who feels sorry for you? ”
Long Xiaomo listened to his chest and said, "Maybe it's because I've been messing around with people like Zhong Kui and Yuan Tiangang for too long." Mainly because I am a native of Chang'an, born and raised in Si. They can endure doing other bad things, and if they want to harm the people of Chang'an, Lao Tzu can't agree to be the first one. Today we have to dive in as soon as possible to find a way not to let this big crocodile become a bad thing. It's rare for this big crocodile to fall asleep today, so we'll have to go in and figure out a way. Xue Rengui and the little monk next to him nodded yes again and again, and Long Xiaomo set his eyes on Xing Ling'er.
Xing Ling'er flashed her big eyes twice and said, "Don't all stare at me, it's like you're all good people, just me." The big deal is death. ”
Long Xiaomo said with a smile: "This is called marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog." With that, he dodged and jumped into the basin-sized hole.
After jumping into the hole, Long Xiaomo did not act recklessly, unleashed the gecko's kung fu to swim against the wall, and slowly slid down the wall. In the darkness, there is no light to rely on, even if Long Xiaomo's internal force level is today, he still can't see the outside situation clearly in this light, and can only vaguely see the outline. Long Xiaomo slowly slid down with his back against the rock wall on the outside, about three or four zhang or so, and stepped on the bottom.
Long Xiaomo touched the ground with her hand, and there were a lot of weed-like things growing on the furry surface, wet, as if stained with a lot of dew. Long Xiaomo didn't have time to take care of these, turned around and beckoned to it. Xing Ling'er also jumped down with Xuanzang and Xue Rengui on her back.
Xing and Xue were both above the level of the Jiedan, and their posture when they fell was naturally very light. In order to prevent waking up the big crocodile, Long Xiaomo gently supported the two when they were about to land.
After landing on the ground, Xue Rengui gently touched the weed-like things on the ground with his hands, as if he felt very surprised, and rubbed them repeatedly with his hands.
Long Xiaomo was very surprised by Xue Rengui's behavior, and cast an inquiring gaze. I saw Xue Rengui pick up the grass on the ground and put it on his nose and smell it carefully, then lowered his voice and said, "This is the Thunder Light Grass, there will definitely be Thunder Light Worms nearby." ”
"Thunder bugs, is it a green, firefly-like thing?" Xing Ling'er interjected. It seems that the last experience in the Dead Man's Ditch made a deep impression on her.
Xue Rengui nodded and said, "The Thunder Light Grass is the bait for raising the Thunder Light Worm, and the Thunder Light Worm is the medium for transmitting the soul. Thunder Light Worms, Soul Eater Stones, and Soul Suppression Drum are the three magic weapons of Liaodong shamans. ”
Xuanzang is still a child, so he couldn't help but pull a handful of grass on the ground and watch it in his hand.
"Hum. With a bang, a small group of thunder light insects flew out of the grass, and sure enough, they were the fireflies that Long Xiaomo saw in the dead man's ditch last time.
Long Xiaomo hurriedly pressed his head and lay down in the grass. The thunder insects that flew up into the air made a very fine "zizi" sound. After a while, countless thunder insects also rose from other places in the grass, twinkling in mid-air, like stars in the sky, looking for something in mid-air.
Long Xiaomo and the others are also the masters of the rudder when they see the wind, and they dare not move when they crawl in the grass nest. The good thing is that several of them are covered with "hidden soul water", which obscures their breath of life.
As some thunder insects gathered more and more in mid-air, the cave became colder and colder, and Long Xiaomo could gradually see the situation in the cave.
The whole cave is like an inverted bowl, in the shape of a round sky, and it is obvious that it has been dug out by hand. Such a huge project, I don't know how much manpower and material resources Yang Jian used to dig it out.
On the plane at the bottom there are a lot of criss-crossing gaps, like a huge Go board. Those thunder grass grew out of these cracks.
In the center of the chessboard, the big crocodile was asleep, and the movement outside did not seem to disturb it, but it was still snoring, and some slime escaped from the corners of its mouth.
Xing Ling'er said: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and it has turned into a bird, and its name is Peng. This Kunpeng Kunpeng is either a fish or a bird, why does it look like a big crocodile?"
Long Xiaomo snorted softly and said, "You ask me, who am I going to ask?" I only know that such a big guy looks so ferocious, and it is not a good way to look at it, so I have to think about how to kill it, don't let him harm the people of Chang'an." ”
Xing Ling'er said: "With your bones, it's not enough for people to eat enough to be a toothpick." ”
Xue Rengui said: "Killing it, with the current strength of the three of us, we will definitely not be able to do it." I'm wondering, can we think of a way to destroy the surrounding formations today, and prevent Liu Er and the others from continuing to inject spiritual power into the Yin Yang Shuangkun, so that at least we can delay the development of the situation and buy time for Yuan Tiangang and them. ”
Xing Ling'er tugged at Long Xiaomo's ear and said, "Listen, listen, people are called calm and have the demeanor of a general." ”
Long Xiaomo didn't seem to be affected by these conversations, and said, "Look over there, a lot of thunder light insects have fallen on the body of the big crocodile. ”
Everyone looked up and looked in mid-air, and sure enough, there was such a pattern, those thunder insects that were startled into the air, after hovering in mid-air for a while, finally fell on the body of the big crocodile.
Long Xiaomo took out the cow tears from his arms, smeared them on his eyelids for a while, and then observed them in mid-air for a long time, and then murmured, "So that's what it looks like?"
Xing Ling'er, who was on the side, shook his arm and said, "It's okay, what kind of big cloves of garlic are you pretending? ”
Long Xiaomo said: "There are ghosts floating in the air in this cave. ”
Xing Ling'er hugged her shoulders with both hands and couldn't help but be smart.
Xue Rengui interjected next to him and said, "Oh, then I know. ”
Long Xiaomo smiled and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Xue Rengui said: "What we see today is a complete process from beginning to end. Li Wenxuan disappeared some time ago, and he used the Soul Hook Fan Heavenly Seal to take a large number of Yin Souls from Liaodong to come back. But these yin spirits can't be absorbed by the yin and yang twin kun all at once, so they can only come step by step. There was no place for these Yin Spirits to place them for the time being, so they were temporarily placed in the bodies of the animals around the Sunset Pass. The snake that Brother Long detained on the hillside just now has a yin spirit sealed in his body, which can confirm my thoughts.
Every once in a while, Wang Bo would take some spirits out of the mountain and guide them into this cave. The "Soul Eater Stones" we saw outside just now were like magnet stones, absorbing these souls into this cave. And these thunder insects in front of them are the last medium. They prey on those spirits in the mid-air of this cave, and eventually inject them into the body of the Yin and Yang Twin Kun to achieve the effect of demonization. This set of arrangements is really step-by-step and seamless. ”
Long Xiaomo said: "You kid is not very old, but he is old enough to see the problem, and he thought of going with Lao Tzu." ”
