Chapter 47: The Brave and the Dragon

The moon sets and the sun rises, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. On the high mountain fifty miles east of the Eagle Demon Castle, two figures, one black and one white, suddenly appeared, which were the Demon Star and the White Rainbow.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the Demon Star looked at the Eagle Demon Castle in the distance and sighed: "My deity has recovered all its strength, and in less than two days, the Eagle Demon Castle will be in the midst of war." ”

Bai Hong looked worried, "Do you have to fight?"

Demon Xingchen glanced at Bai Hong, "I have to fight." Bai Hong, you saved my life, and you are also half of my apprentice, I don't think you should go back to Eagle Demon Castle. The battlefield is chaotic, and I won't be able to take care of you when the time comes. ”

Bai Hong's eyes struggled for a while, and finally flew up and headed towards the Eagle Demon Castle.

Demon Xingchen shook his head, turned into a shadow and moved quickly in the direction of the giant stone tablet.

Not long after, in the forbidden circle of the giant stone tablet demon clan, the star deity who was resting suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his shadow. At this moment, in his shadow, a purple flute appeared, floating in midair.

This is the Phantom Sound Purple Bamboo Flute, and Xingchen holds it in his hand. Since then, after Xingchen came to the Forest of Illusory Dreams, he was banned from cultivating and the spirit weapon that was taken away fully returned, and his combat power returned to its peak.

All that's missing is a storage ring that has been sealed in Eagle Demon Castle. Of course, there are some things that don't seem to have been brought into the Dream Forest at all, such as the cross-border teleportation imprint in the sea of consciousness, and the spiritual source hidden in the heart meson space, etc.

Finally, when it was over, Xingchen walked out of his cultivation retreat room, walked through the hall, and came out of the building. Now, with the 40,000 Toucheng Demon Clans he received from the Elephant Demon Castle, he already has 150,000 Demon Clans. He has mastered two of the three strange races, and the Shadow Orb is also in his hands. And the Eagle Demon Castle is only 100,000, and this time he plans to crush it head-on and storm the Eagle Demon Castle.

Standing at the door, Xingchen shouted, "Gather your troops and go to war." His words were transmitted to the ears of all the higher-ups in phantom channels. For a while, all the high-level officials left their residences and began to gather their demon soldiers.

A quarter of an hour later, a full army of 150,000 gathered outside the Demon Forbidden Circle.

Several core high-level leaders were now in front of the 150,000 army, Xingchen looked at them and ordered, "Little San, you lead the 20,000 demons in your headquarters to stay here." ”

Xiao San did not receive the order immediately. If he receives the order, he will not be able to participate in the final battle.

Xingchen saw that Xiao San did not receive the order, so he said: "Xiao San, you are responsible for maintaining the forbidden circle of the Demon Clan. The Demon Forbidden Circle exists, and we still have a way out. Everything needs to be prepared with both hands, you stay here, and if we lose, you can take us. Only then did Xiao San accept his life willingly.

Then Xingchen issued a second order, "Cauchy is the vanguard, leading 20,000 demons, rock demons, succubus clans, and thousand-year-old tree demons as the front army. "Cauchy, Yan Dazhuang, Lolorose, and the Millennium Tree Demon have all received their orders.

The third order was issued, "Xiao Si took the 10,000 demons from his headquarters as the rear army, responsible for transporting supplies. The other captains sat with me in the Chinese army. ”

......

"Let's go. With an order, the army set out to target Eagle Demon Castle.

In the front army, the Millennium Tree Demon was at the forefront, and with a casual wave of its hand, the trees took the initiative to move out of the way of a wide avenue. Behind the Millennium Tree Demon are two hundred Rock Demons, who are responsible for paving the way and building bridges.

Although the entire army moved forward at a low speed to ensure the combat strength of the demon soldiers, in less than half an hour, the front army still arrived at the Eagle Demon Fort and began to arrange troops. It is said that the troops are arranged, but they stand in a mess, without a sense of majesty.

Although the stars have trained them, they are useless, and the nature of the demons is like this.

After a short time, the Chinese army arrived and stationed there.

At this time, in the palace on the sky-high tree in the center of the Eagle Demon Castle, Bai Hong knelt in front of a man in blue and begged.

The man in blue sighed and waved his hand, and Bai Hong fainted directly. After sending Bai Hong to the side hall of the palace to rest, the man in blue came to the outside of the palace.

Eventually, it flew up and came to the sky above the walls of Eagle Demon Castle.

At this time, Xingchen, who was in the big tent of the Chinese army, saw the man in blue, and also flew out and came not far in front of the man in blue.

The man in blue smiled, "Practitioner Lu Xingchen, you are really powerful, among the ten experiencers, you are the first to completely unseal your strength, and you also have a power comparable to that of Eagle Demon Castle." ”

Hearing this, Xingchen's mind turned quickly, this man in blue must be the Eagle Demon Leader, how could he know the progress of the others?

The man in blue looked at Xingchen with admiration, "You are really good, no wonder my sister is also fascinated by you." I'll tell you the truth, I'm the Eagle Demon Commander and the Gatekeeper of the first stage. What you did in this first phase, I know is that while everything you have is something you designed yourself, it goes against the original purpose of establishing the first phase. ”

Xingchen immediately asked, "What is the original intention? My actions have been approved by the Great Stone Tablet. He couldn't figure out what else the original intention of this first stage was, and the practitioners of the past generations had not left this information.

The man in blue seemed to know what Xingchen was thinking, so he explained, "The first stage is to allow the practitioner to fight hard against the powerful forces alone. Slowly unseal the strength, and finally defeat the powerful forces and retrieve the weapon. Otherwise, why set a year for ten cultivators, there was only one young man named Han Feng, and his behavior was most in line with the original intention of the first stage. I appreciate you more, though, so I'm willing to give you a chance to get through the first stage with ease. ”

Xingchen summoned the Star Shine Sword and said with a smile, "Do you think I need it?" You are the gatekeeper, as long as I defeat you, I will not pass the first stage. ”

The man in blue smiled and snapped his fingers. The inexplicable fluctuations spread, and among the 130,000 troops outside the Eagle Demon Castle, the eyes of many demon soldiers changed, emitting blue light. Only some of the high-level officials who have obtained the experience certificate are not affected.

Those demons with blue eyes reached nearly 130,000 in number, and they began to besiege the upper echelons of Xingchen's army.

After the man in blue did all this, he asked again, "Are you willing to accept the opportunity I give you?" Hurry up and decide! Otherwise, I won't be able to stop those crazy demon soldiers. ”

Just as the man in blue asked, a familiar voice appeared in Xingchen's heart, which was the voice of the giant stone tablet, "Found an optional mission, do you want to accept the test of the gatekeeper?"

Xingchen looked to the ground, and although the strength of those crazy demon soldiers was low, they were superior in number. And I don't know if it's the man in blue who is making trouble, and the innate demon clan under his command can't fly into the air to dodge.

Finally, Xingchen turned his face to look at the man in blue, and said angrily: "Do I have a choice? Let them go, I accept the opportunity you give." ”

The man in blue immediately smiled, "That's right, let's go, go to my palace!" After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and those runaway demons returned to normal. Then with a wave of his hand, a huge blue eagle appeared in the air, the eagle flapped its wings slightly, and as soon as its body moved, it carried the man in blue and the stars on his back and headed towards the palace in the center of the Eagle Demon Castle.

Half a day later, Xingchen was already in a special world. In front of him was a village, with dilapidated houses and a withered population, except for the middle house. The Eagle Demon Commander didn't give him any hints, leaving him to search for the mission on his own, and Xingchen's identity in this world was from a distant brave man.

As soon as Xingchen appeared, a group of villagers gathered around and shouted happily: "Great, there is another brave man, we have been saved." ”

Xingchen can't help but complain, what do you mean?

At this time, from the house in the middle of the village, a three-headed vicious dog rushed out. The villagers scattered in a hurry, ignoring Xingchen, who was a brave man.

Although the phantom of the star's bloodline has disappeared, its own bloodline is still there. Seeing these three vicious dogs approaching quickly, the bloodline pressure of the Wind Thunder Saint Tiger on Xingchen's body was directly released.

Facing the pressure of the bloodline of the Wind Thunder Saint Tiger, the three vicious dogs fell directly to the ground, motionless.

At this time, the village chief rushed out, looked at Xingchen, and said angrily: "I was scared to death of my three-haired dog, lose money quickly, don't lose 180,000 gold and silver, don't want to leave." ”

When Xingchen heard this, he immediately looked disgusted, not only said that the three-headed vicious dog was a three-haired dog, but also blackmailed him, and immediately wanted to leave.

As soon as he set off and walked two or three steps, a villager told the village chief the identity of the Xingchen Brave, who immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Brave grandfather, I was wrong, don't go, stay and help us get rid of the evil dragon before leaving." We are willing to give 180,000 silver and gold as a reward. As he spoke, a house next to the village chief was blown down by the wind.

100,000, 80,000, Xingchen really didn't believe that this village could still come up with 108,000 money. So he shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in dragons, goodbye." ”

The village chief was immediately anxious and immediately ordered someone to carry out a box. When I opened the lid, I saw gold and silver jewelry. The village chief smiled and said, "Warrior, please see, we are definitely rich and worthy of you to stay." ”

Xingchen was not interested in gold and silver jewelry, and said indifferently: "Where did it come from?"

The village chief didn't even want to answer: "I was pitted from the previous brave." As if he felt that he had said the wrong thing, the village chief immediately changed his words: "It's wrong, it was left by the brave men before, and they all died at the hands of the evil dragon." ”

Xingchen still didn't want to agree, he looked at the dead three-headed vicious dog and said, "Your ...... What about the three-haired dog, it died because of me, I stayed, and there was a mustard between everyone. ”

The village chief immediately came up to the three vicious dogs and kicked them in the stomach. The three vicious dogs jumped up at once, as if nothing had happened. The village chief smiled and said, "Brave, are you still dissatisfied?"

Xingchen shook his head. Only then did the village chief step forward, take out a map from his bosom, and hand it to Xingchen, "Brave, you are the hope of our village. ”

Xingchen took the map and set out on a journey.

Soon, he came to a valley with a meandering stream and a bustling wind, a paradise.

Xingchen opened the map, and in the valley here, there was an extremely evil image of a bird, the whole of which was the image of a crane. But it really can't be called a crane character, its head is purple and its beak is black, its eyes are crazy, its whole body is pitch black, its long legs are blue and purple, and its whole body is full of black demonic energy. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a vicious existence.

Dropping down the map, the stars begin to search for targets in the valley, eventually discovering a small cabin. A simple small courtyard was built in front of the wooden house, and a young man in white was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw Xingchen, he immediately beckoned: "Brave, you are finally here, defeat me, and the road to the next level will be revealed." ”

Xingchen walked into the small courtyard, took out the map, pointed to the image of the bird on the map and asked, "Is this you?"

The young man in white smiled: "Yes and no." The above refers to me, but the people of the mountains and wilderness drew it according to their own hearts. Don't worry about this, come, see the winner in the chess field. ”

Xingchen put away the map, came to the young man in white, and sat down.

The young man in white waved his hand, and a chessboard appeared, with a bowl of chess pieces in black and white. Nineteen vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard divide the board into three hundred and sixty-one intersections.

It's Go! Xingchen had seen it in the spiritual world, so he asked, "Go is sure to win or lose?"

The young man in white nodded, "I didn't expect you to, just right." ”

So the game began, with Xingchen holding the black chess pieces first, and the young man in white holding the white chess pieces behind.

The most important thing in Go is qi. Qi, the chess pieces are connected, then the qi is smooth. If the gas is smooth, the situation will be smooth. All the two sides have to do is to block the opponent's qi while ensuring their own qi, and even pull out the opponent's airless chess pieces

After some gambling, Xingchen took the lead by fifteen sons and defeated the young man in white.

The young man in white smiled, turning into a crane and flying into the sky, and at the same time, the end of the valley began to change, and a mountain path appeared leading to the top of the mountain.

Xingchen left the courtyard and walked towards the end of the valley and began to climb the mountain path.

Step by step, you eventually reach the top of the mountain, which is a huge platform. Eight statues are erected on it, although their forms are different, but they are like immortal soldiers descending to earth, and they are extraordinary. In the midst of them sat an altar.

According to the village chief, this statue is used to suppress demons, and it will not stop the stars who are brave. That altar can awaken the sleeping dragon. So the stars walked directly from among the eight statues, ready to open the altar.

It's just that he had just walked to the altar, and a burst of divine light flashed on the eight statues, and the statues turned into real heavenly soldiers one after another, looked at the stars, and shouted in unison: "The Eight Gods Demon Slayer Array Qi." ”

In response to the sound, on the platform on the top of the mountain, a huge Bagua Array emerged, forming a formation space and trapping the stars in it. The eight heavenly soldiers were full of divine light and rushed towards the stars one after another.

After the battle between the two sides, Xingchen really experienced the taste of being targeted by the formation. However, all joint formations are in line with the way of heaven and earth, which can increase the strength of those who place the formation, and can also disperse the attacks received by each person who sets the formation.

So Xingchen just started using the flying sword technique, but found that it was useless at all, and as for the Phantom Sound Purple Bamboo Flute, he didn't need to take it out at all. The divine light on the surface of the eight Heavenly Soldiers seemed to be able to repel illusion attacks.

And his demon clone was hiding in the black and white space at this time, and he didn't dare to come out at all. The divine light on the soldier's body on that day was able to cancel each other out with the demonic energy. The heavenly soldiers are supported by formations, eight identities, and one demon clone can't consume them.

So he simply began to hold the sword in one hand and fight them. The Xingyao Sword was emitting sword intent spiritual power, and was held by Xingchen to attack the eight heavenly soldiers. After all, the sword intent spiritual power is an extremely penetrating power. Finally, Xingchen seized the opportunity and used a sword that broke through his own speed, and before the formation had time to transfer the attack, Xingchen had already pierced the chest of a celestial soldier. The Heavenly Soldier immediately turned into a stone statue and fell to the ground, directly shattering.

There is a second, and in the end, after a hard battle, Xingchen solved all the heavenly soldiers.

The Eight Gods Demon Slayer Formation is broken!

When the stars fell to the ground, they found that there was already a man standing on the altar.

When he saw his face clearly, he realized that it was the village chief.

The village chief held three vicious dogs and danced a strange dance there. He noticed that Xingchen had broken through the Eight Gods Demon Slayer Array, and said with a grin, "Thank you bravely." Then he changed his grim face and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can this demon king unseal his strength?"

As he was smiling, the village chief put down the three vicious dogs and flew into the air, and the boundless demonic energy flew out of the altar and melted into the village chief's body.

The village chief's body began to change.

Only then did Xingchen receive a mission reminder: Kill the Great Demon King.

It turned out that there was no evil dragon at all, but it was written and directed by the village chief, in order to restore the identity and strength of the demon king.

This "opportunity" given to him by the Eagle Demon Commander is really interesting.

While the village chief was transforming, Xingchen flew into the air with a sword and stared at the village chief.

The village chief looked at the stars and said with a smile: "You won't want to kill me, it's useless, the power of the altar is protected, you can't break through." Despite your sword, very sharp. It's a pity that in the battle just now, you consumed too much spiritual power. Hahaha. ”

The village chief was smiling, and found that the brave man in front of him suddenly changed his clothes, white clothes changed to black clothes, black hair changed to white hair, and even his face changed slightly. The village chief didn't know that the brave man in front of him at this time was a clone of Xingchen.

If the brave man just gave him chivalrous light, the brave man in front of him now has an extra demonic aura. No, it's the real demon, the same demon as him. If you are also a demon, you can enter the altar opened by the demon.

He was just about to say something, but he found that the brave man in front of him disappeared, a sharp sword pierced his body, and the brave man appeared behind him.

The village chief couldn't believe it, "The brave man turned out to be a shadow demon." I'm not reconciled. He roared, and his body slowly disappeared, and the demonic qi that should have been integrated into the village chief's body was directly integrated into the body of the demon star. Entering the Shadow Orb, the black and white space in the Shadow Orb began to slowly increase.

When the demonic energy is no longer generated, the demon stars disappear, and the stars are newly reappeared.

The village chief's three-headed dog stared pitifully at the stars, one at the altar, and the other at the other.

Xingchen understood what the three vicious dogs meant, and nodded.

The three vicious dogs immediately nodded happily and danced a strange dance on the altar, and after a while, two forces appeared on the altar. One is a demonic fire, which mortals touch and fall into the devil's path, and the other is a yellow spring water, where the bones do not float and evil spirits sink.

Enter the left and right heads of the three vicious dogs.

The two heads changed, water and fire collided, squeezing the middle head, and Xingchen shook his head, channeling the power of the Shadow Demon Orb. Shadow Mana is drained by the middle head. The three-headed vicious dog began to change normally, and finally grew into a three-headed shadow demon dog more than five feet tall.

When it saw the stars, its figure shrank dramatically, and finally turned into a little milk dog with dark eyes and red eyes.

Xingchen picked it up, teased it for a while, and when he felt that this special world was beginning to reject him, he immediately sent the Shadow Demon Dog into the black and white space of the Shadow Demon Bead.

When the repulsion force reached its strongest, the scene in front of Xingchen rotated, leaving this special world, and finally appeared in the palace in the center of the Eagle Demon Castle.

As soon as he appeared, he heard a sentence, "Alas, I cheated again, and I didn't kill the Great Demon King head-on." ”

Xingchen looked at the man in blue who was speaking, and said with a smile: "I'm willing." You promised me that if you passed your broken test, you would give me back the storage ring. ”

The man in blue shook his head and handed out a golden treasure chest.

After Xingchen took it, he took out the storage ring and put it on his hand. After counting for a while, Xingchen noticed that there was not a single thing missing.

At this moment, the man in blue said, "I forgot to remind you, because I helped you, you must leave from the giant stone tablet within a stick of incense." timeout, you will be directly exited from the Forest of Dreams. ”

Xingchen was a little angry, "Why didn't you tell me before?

The man in blue smiled, "I'm willing." Dare to go quickly, don't blame me if you can't catch up. ”

Xingchen was speechless for a moment, blocked by what he had said, and could only fly away, after all, it had taken him a little time to count the savings ring.

Outside the Eagle Demon Castle, a figure flew into the sky and quickly disappeared. At the same time, a voice came, "Retreat." ”

The 130,000 demons were stunned for a moment before they retreated in a panic.

The giant stone tablet, after the stars arrived, instructed some things to the little three who stayed behind, and flew into a passage above the giant stone tower.

Forest of Dreams, the end of the first phase.
