Chapter 52: Preparation (II)
After sending away those demon beasts and demons, the ape spirit said again, "Since you all chose to stay, then I will not treat you badly, I must have known that a month later will be the time for the disciples of the Beast Control Sect to try, and a large number of disciples will come in to hunt us in the next two months." ”
After a pause, seeing the indignant expressions of the demon beasts and demons, the ape spirit continued, "I don't dare to say that I can protect all the demon beasts and demons who live here, but I will do my best to protect your safety, of course, the premise is that you have to listen to my command, if you don't listen to the command and involve the other demon beasts and demons present, let alone a cultivator, my ape spirit will be the first to not let it go." After speaking, the powerful coercion overwhelmingly pressed towards the group of demon beasts and demons.
In the face of the coercion exuded by the ape spirit, the demon beasts and demons who were still a little disapproving in their eyes changed their faces greatly, and their eyes showed fear, and at this moment, this group of demon beasts and demons really surrendered to the ape spirit.
The ape spirit naturally felt it, nodded secretly, withdrew the coercion, and continued, "I'm asking you now if you have a hidden place to hide?"
Although Pengjiu's cave is good, the location is too exposed, and it has been discovered by the cultivators, and going there is tantamount to telling the cultivators to arrest me.
At this time, a lightning marten stepped forward and said, "I know a very hidden place, I don't know if the boss will go?"
The ape spirit looked at the lightning marten, it was not big, only the size of a kitten, it was royal blue, exuding a faint halo, and a pair of eyes flashed with a trace of electric light from time to time, and its cultivation was already the peak of the demon beast, and it was almost one step away from condensing the demon pill.
The ape spirit nodded and said, "If it is hidden enough, it can evade the search of cultivators, I have no opinion." ”
Lightning Marten nodded and said, "Okay, then please come with me, boss." After saying that, he took the lead and walked away.
The ape spirit greeted and followed, although they did not run this time, but the movement was still loud, especially an elephant, every step would make the ground shake three times, and some trees were directly uprooted.
The place where the lightning marten said was not far away, and it took only a day to get there.
It was a swamp, the ground was a pool of water that sank into the ankles, there was a thick layer of dead grass underneath, and a faint green miasma shrouded the entire swamp, if ordinary beasts entered, they would be poisoned by the miasma, but fortunately, all the demon beasts here were cultivators, and this miasma could not cause them any harm.
When the lightning marten came to the edge of the swamp, he stopped and said, "Boss, this is the place I am talking about. ”
The ape spirit looked at it, the whole swamp was very dim, and there was a layer of miasma as a cover, so it was really impossible for the naked eye to see very far, but cultivators always used primordial gods or treasures to search for prey, and under such a search, this miasma could not play a covering role at all.
The ape spirit glanced down at the lightning marten and said suspiciously, "Are you sure this place is hidden?"
The lightning marten nodded and said, "Yes, you don't look at this place as inconspicuous, but once you enter it, you will fall into it, and I accidentally broke into it at the beginning, and I was almost trapped inside." ”
When the ape spirit heard this, he immediately released his demon sense to investigate, and found that the demon sense probed into it without any barrier, but I don't know why the demon consciousness couldn't see everything inside after entering, and everything reflected in his mind was gray, and the ape spirit immediately knew that there was something strange in this swamp.
In the Beast Control Sect, this swamp is called the Returnless Swamp, which has the meaning of going and no return, and is listed as one of the two forbidden areas of the Royal Beast Garden, even the people of the Beast Control Sect do not know how this swamp is formed, but they know that once they enter the swamp, the cultivators will disappear inexplicably, and there are very few who can come out, and even if they come out, they can't tell the situation inside, so the high-level of the Beast Control Sect ordered the disciples to ban the approach to the Beast Control Swamp.
The ape spirit looked at the Returnless Swamp, hesitated in his heart, and asked the lightning marten again, "How did you get out of it?"
The lightning marten shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was trapped inside, I accidentally got stuck in the mire, and I thought I was dead, but when I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of the swamp. ”
The ape spirit hesitated for a while, this place is obviously not ordinary, if you can't come out after entering, let alone avoid the cultivators, you will be trapped inside and unable to come out, which obviously outweighs the loss.
So he turned his head and asked, "Do you have a more secluded place, which should be relatively safe?" ”
There were no demon beasts and demons to answer, seeing this, the ape spirit also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked again, "Okay, let's enter this swamp, but let me make it clear first, if you go in, you may not be able to get out, and is there anyone who is willing to quit?"
This time, there were no demon beasts and demons without, and they all stayed quietly in place, without even flashing their eyes.
The ape spirit nodded secretly, and said loudly, "Since there is no exit, then let's go into this swamp and see what mysteries are inside?" After speaking, the first one walked in, followed by Scarlet Tai and Peng Jiu, and other demon beasts and demons also followed one after another. Soon, this group of demon beasts and demons entered this swamp of no return under the leadership of the ape spirit.
After entering the swamp, the ape spirit found that the miasma around it seemed to be thicker, and the surroundings were also very dim, only ten meters away, and the feet also fell into the quagmire from time to time, sometimes directly into most of the body, whenever the elephant used its big trunk to roll up the trapper and pull it up, so although there was some danger along the way, but not a single demon beast and demon died.
After walking for three hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the surroundings became even darker, and the naked eye could only see a meter away, and finally the ape spirit had to release his demon sense.
However, the demon ape spirit found that this swamp seemed to suppress the spread of demon consciousness, and it could only cover ten meters of the house, and it could not spread far away.
The ape spirit looked around, except for the fluorescence emitted by the demon beast and the demon eyes, there was no light, so he said, "Let's rest here for the night, and then set off when it is dawn." ”
The other demon beasts and demons don't have any opinions, the ape spirit is their boss, and it does whatever it says.
The ape spirit also patrolled around, and found a flat land for the demon beasts and demons to rest here, but unfortunately the open space is not large, except for some small demon beasts and demons, those large demon beasts can only rest outside.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day the surroundings gradually lit up, and after a day's rest, the other demon beasts and demons were in good spirits.
The ape spirit looked around, and as he went deeper into the swamp, the miasma became more and more intense, and he could only see a meter away, but fortunately, these miasma could not cause harm to this group of demon beasts and demons, otherwise the ape spirit would not dare to continue deeper.
After walking for another half a day, the ape spirit found that he was completely lost, surrounded by a pale green miasma, and the area that the demon sense could cover was also reduced to a radius of five meters, which made the ape spirit feel more and more uneasy, and he didn't know whether he would continue to go deeper or stop now.
The ape spirit called Gorilla Tai and Peng Jiu and asked, "We seem to be lost, what do you think?"
Scarlet Tai frowned slightly, and said, "We've lost our way, and even if we want to turn back, we can't find the way we came." ”
Peng Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, now we can't go back, this area is very strange, I have a faint uneasiness in my heart, as if there is danger waiting for us." ”
The ape spirit thought about it and brought the lightning marten, and the lightning marten saw the ape spirit and said respectfully, "Boss, what are you looking for me?"
"I'd like to hear what happened to you after you entered this swamp, and the more detailed you are," said the ape. ”
Lightning Marten recalled, "I remember that when it was also the time of the cultivator trial, there was a cultivator who discovered me and wanted to subdue me, and in order to avoid the pursuit, I inadvertently broke into this place, and found that the cultivator saw me entering this swamp and stopped chasing me. But when I tried to go out, I found that I couldn't find the entrance to get out, so I wandered around here for seven days, and finally I couldn't hold on anymore and fainted, and who knew that I woke up and found myself on the edge of the swamp. ”
The ape spirit smiled bitterly, what the lightning marten said didn't have any effect, they slept here yesterday and were not teleported out at all, which means that they are now trapped inside.
Gorilla Tai and Peng Jiu also thought of this, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
The lightning marten looked at the ape spirit and shook his head and smiled bitterly, tilted his head and asked, "Boss, are we trapped here?"
The ape spirit nodded, "Yes, I think we're trapped here." ”
The lightning marten didn't care and said, "It's okay, boss, when we escape the test of the cultivators, we will faint collectively, and maybe we will be sent out." ”
The ape spirit was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only look at the lightning marten helplessly, thinking that it was easy for this little thing to think about things, and even Scarlet Tai and Peng Jiu shook their heads and sighed.
The lightning marten didn't know why, and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
The ape spirit shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you go and rest, and we'll discuss it again." ”
The lightning marten nodded, and before leaving, he muttered, "I'll make myself dizzy when I can't get out, and I will definitely be able to go out again." ”
Peng Jiu watched the lightning marten leave, and suddenly said, "Maybe it's telling the truth." ”
The ape spirit opened its mouth wide and said incredulously, "No, do you?
Peng Jiu said disapprerovingly, "It doesn't have to be a nonsense, because it has really experienced it personally, maybe as long as all the demon beasts and demon collectives present faint, they will be sent out." ”
The ape spirit said helplessly, "That's right, but have you ever thought about how to make all the demon beasts and demons present faint?"
Scarlet Tai smiled and said, "It's a big deal, if I punch them, no matter how big or small, they'll faint." "Obviously it's confident in its fists.
The ape spirit had tried it himself, and he understood that Scarlet Tai's fist was indeed very strong, and few of the demon beasts and demons present could indeed catch its punch.
But the ape spirit immediately asked, "You stunned them all, who stunned you?"
Scarlet Tai tilted his head to look at the ape spirit and said, "Of course it's you, boss." ”
The ape spirit laughed and scolded, "Then who is going to stun me?"
Orangutan said, "Of course you're making yourself stunned." ”
This sentence directly made the ape spirit speechless, and even Peng Jiu next to him looked at it speechlessly.
