Chapter Seventy-Four: The Green Fox King and the Soul Eater Beast
"This group of damn green foxes, they don't appear sooner or later, but they appear at this time, with the intention of doing bad things for me. The ancient city, which has always been the image of a humble gentleman, can't help but curse. After thinking for a moment, he said unwillingly: "That soul eater beast can't leave so quickly, why don't we stay behind this green fox first, and then choose the opportunity to act according to the situation?"
Gucheng said, showing Deng An an inquiring gaze. After all, there is a big deviation between the scene and his original description, and the sudden appearance of the green fox group has disrupted the entire plan, if Deng An uses this as an excuse to leave, he has no choice.
"Since Gu Daoyou is interested, he will sacrifice his life to accompany him!" Deng An thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, as long as he was not surrounded by the green fox group, he was fully capable of escaping. In addition, since the advanced condensation, he had never fought with the same level of meditation cultivators, so he took this opportunity to observe and verify it, so as not to temporarily hold on to his feet.
Seeing Deng An nodding in agreement, Gucheng was slightly moved in his heart.
The speed of the group of green foxes was extremely fast, as if they were summoned by something on the top of the mountain, and their cries were already far away after the slightest delay between Deng An and the ancient city. Gu Gu was worried that the green fox would run away, so he nodded to Deng An and hurriedly followed behind.
The two ghosts were both cultivators in the condensation period, and their flying speed was not comparable to that of first-order demon beasts, and it didn't take long for them to find the group of green foxes again.
The sense of smell of the demon beast is very sensitive, in order not to be discovered by the green fox, Deng An and the ancient city have slowed down, trying to keep a long distance from them, but the trees on the mountain peak are dense, and the green fox is small, and it is easy to lose it if you are not careful. Moreover, some lone green foxes also jumped out from behind them from time to time. Because the scene of Qinggu's gathering is too weird, and the two ghosts don't know what is happening in front of them, if they are bumped into by one or two green foxes, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, so as to startle the snake.
Seeing this, a trace of struggle appeared on the handsome face of the ancient city.
Deng An was about to ask the reason, when he heard the ancient city say solemnly: "Deng Daoyou, there is a technique of respiration that I got by chance, which must be helpful to you." ”
Immediately afterward, some information was transmitted to his consciousness. After Deng An was slightly stunned, he expected that the other party would not do anything, so he received this information.
Stealth, a spell that can restrain the aura of ghosts.
Deng An took a look at it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, this is an extremely clever spell, as long as the caster's cultivation is not much lower than that of the other party, it is generally difficult to be discovered, and because it is an independent astringent aura, its effect is much better than using "invisible grass". Although it is not an offensive spell, if used correctly, this support spell can be used to turn the tide of battle, save lives, and even play other unexpected roles.
Deng An was just about to open his mouth to thank him, when he saw that the ancient city was already smiling, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Deng Daoyou, that demon soul crystal is determined to be obtained below, even if this spell is an additional reward below, I hope that Daoyou will not keep his hands when hunting soul eating beasts." ”
Suddenly, Deng An had a feeling of getting on a thief ship, but he collected money from people and eliminated disasters for others, he Deng An was not a man of his word, and it was not good to regret it, so he said solemnly: "Gu Daoyou can rest assured that since you have received a reward, you will definitely go all out within your ability." ”
When the ancient city heard this, he sighed secretly, and then showed a gentle smile on his face again: "This technique of breathing is not profound, it is better to wait for the Taoist friends to comprehend it, and then we will go up the mountain." ”
Deng An knew that he was afraid that it would be discovered by the green fox and cause unnecessary trouble, so he was not polite and closed his eyes to come to his senses. Indeed, as the ancient city said, this spell was very simple, and he only needed more than a cup of tea to master it. In the process of comprehension, Deng An also found that this spell was not as perfect as he imagined, and there were some insurmountable drawbacks, which must be one of the reasons why Gu Gu was willing to take it out.
The subterranean technique can restrain the aura of the ghost's outward release, but it is not all, even if you practice it very skillfully, it will leave some ghost-specific aura. Therefore, using the Latent Technique in front of a high-level meditation cultivator will not have much effect.
Moreover, the premise of using the latent technique must be in a yin qi environment. This is the equivalent of an assassin in a night suit, if he acts during the day, no matter how much he hides in a corner, he will be easily discovered by others, which is no different from covering his ears and stealing the bell.
In addition, if the caster is in motion, the concealment effect is greatly reduced.
However, this technique is still an extremely rare auxiliary spell, and it has a strong confusing effect on low-level, or even the same level of meditation and demon beasts, as long as it is not within the range of their line of sight, it is difficult to find the existence of the spell.
Seeing Deng An open his eyes, Gu Gu's face flashed, and then he smiled: "Daoyou's comprehension ability is admired, as long as you use logistics and practice, you will definitely be able to exert the maximum power of the hidden technique, but now it should be more than enough to deal with these green foxes." ”
Deng An smiled noncommittally: "Gu Daoyou, let's go." The soul eater beast has not appeared until now, and it is likely that it was trapped on the top of the mountain by the green fox. ”
The two ghosts smiled knowingly and chased in the direction where Qinggu's scream came.
At this moment, it was dark and it was already night. The demon beast's vision may be affected somewhat, but for meditation, the impact is basically zero. When they were about to approach the Qinggu group, Deng An and Gu Gu each performed a hidden technique. Due to the gap in ranks, even if they were moving slowly, those Qinggu still didn't notice it at all.
At this time, Deng An was basically sure that when the ancient city secretly watched him hunt the silver lynx, he used this spell, and he couldn't help but have more expectations for this technique.
This mountain peak is not too high, and it is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, making it difficult for even demon beasts to climb, which is one of the reasons why both demons believe that the soul eater has never left.
The higher they go, the narrower the mountain peaks become, and the smaller the passage for the demon beasts to pass, and later, they no longer need to be guided by Qinggu, and the passable slopes on both sides have been fully under their perception, so they only need to go to the peak.
Along the way, in addition to avoiding Qinggu, Deng An and the ancient city carefully searched for the soul eater beast to prevent it from escaping down the mountain, and the aura of the second-order demon beast was easy to perceive, but as a result, they gradually became a little worried, because so far, no trace of it had been found.
Everything seemed to indicate that the Soul Eater might have left the mountain.
Deng An didn't care, at least he had already obtained a spell.
But the ancient city was a little anxious, and what was thought to be impossible happened instead. However, he still did not give up, and continued to rush to the peak with Deng An.
According to the time calculation, the group of green foxes has reached the peak at this moment. It cannot be ruled out that the Soul Eater had a conflict with them and was trapped on it.
Two hours later, the summit of the mountain was in sight.
From a distance, the scene above was beyond the expectations of the two ghosts, there was only an empty mountain rock, and there were no tall trees. When they got closer, they saw a shocking scene, only to see that next to the largest stone on the top of the mountain, covered with a blue color, on closer inspection, those were actually green foxes, the number of which was more than guessed by the sound, at least nearly a hundred, most of them should have reached the top of the mountain before.
After the two ghosts got closer again, they couldn't help but regret it. Because, there was a sudden commotion in those green foxes, and then, a green fox that was part larger than the other green foxes, and whose fur was already red, slowly walked out of it and came to the big stone.
This is a Green Fox King, a demon beast in the middle and late stages of the second order.
Due to the large number of green foxes in the field, the aura was extremely mixed, and neither Deng An nor the ancient city had noticed its existence before. To their great relief, the Green Fox King didn't seem to notice them either, and after a lapse around the big rock, he sat upright in the center.
After the green fox sat down, he let out a low howl, and the surrounding green foxes responded with howls as if they had received an order, and suddenly, the top of the mountain seemed to set off a huge wave of sound waves, Deng An and the ancient city's faces changed suddenly, and they hurriedly withdrew the mental power released on the periphery of the green fox group.
The green fox's cry lasted only for a moment before it stopped. One by one, they quietly looked at the Green Fox King on the big stone, as if waiting for his orders.
Oh, with another low roar from the Green Fox King, several green foxes somewhere around the big stone appeared in a commotion, and they all moved in reverse, freeing up a three-foot square open space, and a small beast with a sharp beak, small eyes, like a thornless hedgehog, was revealed.
"Soul Eater Beast!" the two ghosts were shocked, the purpose of their trip was to be mixed in the green fox group, which no one expected. The Soul Eater Beast and the Green Fox belonged to different types of demon beasts, and it was impossible for them to be so harmonious, and they were a little confused for a while.
Compared with the ancient city, Deng Anxin was even more surprised.
This Soul Eater Beast was obviously the same one that had hunted him down and Chen Youzhi in the first place, and although it was still in its infancy, its strength was already equivalent to that of the mid-stage condensation stage meditation cultivation.
Gu Gu didn't know whether it was because of excitement or disappointment, and his body trembled slightly due to the drastic change in his emotions, but he knew the situation at this time, so he hurriedly controlled it.
In just a moment, the green fox seemed to notice, and inadvertently glanced at Deng An and the ancient city's hiding place, its eyes were like two lightning bolts in the night, it seemed to be able to penetrate the mountain rocks where they were hiding, and see the scene behind it clearly, perhaps because the hidden technique played a role, it failed to find anything, and slowly withdrew its gaze.
Inexplicably, Deng An had a bad premonition, their decision to track down the green fox seemed to be a little hasty, not to mention the two second-order mid-order demon beasts, just nearly a hundred green foxes, each of them was a very vigilant existence, and if they were not careful, they might be discovered.
Gu Gu obviously had the same thoughts, and the expression on his face became very solemn, and he nodded quietly, because at this moment, even if it was the communication between consciousnesses, it was still possible to find some flaws in the face of the demon beasts that were sensitive to the senses.
The two ghosts hurriedly ran the latent technique to the extreme, and the ancient city's use of this technique was obviously more proficient, even if it was so close, Deng An couldn't feel any of his breath.
