Chapter 503: The Beast Descends
The entire Ice City seemed to be completely frozen, on the smooth ice, there were corpses wrapped in frost, the blood on the ground was coagulated into pieces of ice crystals, and thousands of corpses were lying in the empty and wide streets.
The expressions on each corpse here were frozen in frost, almost all expressions of fear and despair, and their eyes were as big as ordinary eggs in horror.
Ni Xiaoyan felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, although most of the people here had made unforgivable mistakes, but living in such an extremely harsh environment had made them accept punishment for many years.
These corpses were all suddenly pierced through the heart, and at the same time, the souls were forcibly taken.
It is estimated that the only one who can do this is silver.
He tried to find familiar faces, such as Tang Long, but that guy had not been in the pile of corpses, and after a while, Ni Xiaoyan rummaged through the entire Cold Ice City, but he was not found.
It must have listened to his own opinion and left Cold Ice City, Ni Xiaoyan comforted himself in his heart.
He needed to get out of here as soon as possible and return to the Immortal Emperor Secret Realm or the Tianxin Society's residence.
After Qiu Yuan learned that the main purpose of the evil clan in the southwest land, he took everyone back to the Immortal Emperor Secret Realm and reported the information he had investigated to Wei Wei.
The purpose of the evil clan has basically been investigated, they want to get the power of the southwest poison to enhance their strength, but in Wei Wei's opinion, things are not so simple, because the strength of the evil clan is not weak, even if they don't have to go out all, the Tianxin Society has no way to take them.
If you continue to investigate deeply, you will have to contact the upper echelons of the evil clan, and with Qiu Yuan's ability, you will hardly be able to enter the other party's circle, let alone get the most fundamental intelligence secrets.
She originally planned to invite Yiqin Shi to go, but the people on the side of the big clan were not completely stable, so they would not leave rashly, and everyone was worried that in case the big clan suddenly rioted, plus the two people who broke the void mirror, they were not afraid of death to destroy the Tianxin Society, which was simply a doomsday disaster.
Just a few days later, Vivi got new information, and the hidden inspection outside found a small wave of evil people, numbering more than 10,000, who were quickly heading towards the South Vein Valley, and needed to stop the army as soon as possible to take precautions.
In the council chamber, Vivi told the commanders about the war they were about to face, and unlike in the past, they might also be able to guard against the sudden power of the evil people, such as poison from the Southwest.
Everyone has their own ideas, Hua Shao advocates taking the initiative to attack, and annihilating the evil army before it arrives in the South Vein Valley, as for what poison, he thinks very optimistically, at least now those evil people have not been equipped with poisonous power.
"Hua Shao, this matter cannot be taken lightly, since the evil army continues to invade, it has a certain confidence, at least in their opinion, the army of more than 10,000 people has a fatal blow to us, do you know that in the past, the evil clan has suffered a lot here in our Nanmai Mountain, so it will never do some useless work. The white paper crane reminded Hua Shaodao.
"How powerful is that? Can't we find a way to deal with it? Shang Gongming, aren't you alchemy every day? Hearing the reminder of the white paper crane, Hua Shao asked Shang Gongming on the side, the other party is a rune master, and the elixir inheritance he has mastered is much more comprehensive than those big clans, and he has a lot of credit for the ability improvement and recovery of serious injuries in the Tianxin Society.
Today's Shang Gongming is no longer the weak low-level cultivator who doesn't know anything, but a supervisor in charge of the entire alchemy group, and he can't be without him in the matter of detoxification.
"There are many antidote pills, but none of them are antidote to all poisons, I must know what poison the other party is using before I can take the medicine. Shang Gongming explained to everyone.
"Well, this matter still needs to be investigated by the hidden people in advance, so that they can prepare, I have already arranged this aspect in advance, and it won't take long to know the answer. Vivi added as she added.
"Do you have to wait?"
"Shang Gongming, is there an elixir that can temporarily resist all poisons?" At this time, Zhu Lingling, who had been silent, raised a question, her thoughts were similar to Hua Shao, neither of them wanted to wait for the arrival of the evil army, at least they had to make those evil army disgusting for a while, as for the so-called poison, this was still solvable.
"Yes, but not everyone can refine it, such as the elixir that can temporarily seal the meridians and six intestines, after all, if the poison wants to kill people, it needs to penetrate into the body and destroy it. However, that kind of elixir is too precious, just refining, even me, the success rate of refining is still pitiful. ”
Jiang Lang stood up and said, "Since people can't have direct contact, we can use the power of the rune array to slow down the arrival of those evil clan armies, and it's the same." Or try using the power of isolation to stop poisoning. ”
"It's a good idea. "Hua Shao became excited, compared to the pill, Hua Shao valued the rune array more, not because he despised the ability of the pill, but because his personality liked violent things, as long as he was equipped with the rune array and used the power of isolation to prevent poisoning, it was more mature than the pill, and it was easier to refine.
The biggest advantage in the Tianxin Society is the rune array, the reason why the entire Nanmai Mountain has not been captured by the evil army is because of the power of the rune array, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the crazy attack of the evil army for even an hour.
"Well, this is also a way, then Jiang Lang, you are confident that you can make thousands of rune array plates in three days?" Wei Wei looked up at Jiang Lang.
"Don't worry, the current rune attainments of the Tianxin Society are not what they used to be, and we will all go all out to complete them. Jiang Lang nodded and smiled.
Getting Jiang Lang's affirmation, Wei Wei looked at Shang Gongming: "Don't put the pill on hold, I will let the hidden in front send the information you need as soon as possible, it is best to use the pill, after all, runes are not the root of the problem." ”
After everyone discussed, they were ordered to retreat, and the task of taking the initiative was still handed over to Hua Shao, and the guerrillas of about 1,000 people set off three days later.
Qiu Yuan and Xiao Mu are hiding in the shadows, and their task is to collect the secrets of those evil armies, which is the arrangement provided by Wei Wei, but it must be investigated within three days.
The two of them avoided Cong Cong's detachment to patrol, and when they entered the depths of the garrison, they found an anomaly, and there was a faint update of the fierce beast in their ears.
"Go and see, what's there. Qiu Yuan immediately said to Xiao Mu nearby, and gradually moved over, the closer he got to the depths, the louder the sound of the fierce beast became.
In the end, they found that they stopped in a group of tightly guarded places, and behind them there was a huge black curtain of cages, which seemed to be trapped in some kind of powerful demon beast, and the people of the evil clan outside the black curtain seemed to be extremely careful, and many people's eyes showed horror and fear, for fear of angering the monsters inside.
Qiu Yuan has also encountered many powerful demon beasts in the land of Yunnan, but they can all be bypassed, not in contact, the fierce beasts there are different from ordinary demon beasts, and the poison of the whole body makes many cultivators have a headache.
There are dozens of cages like this, and there are quite a few evil people standing next to almost every cage, and through their cautious expressions, Qiu Yuan can now analyze that these fierce beasts inside are probably not tamed.
But if they are not tamed, they are likely to be attacked if they are released directly on the battlefield, which is simply stupid, but why do they do this?
Qiu Yuan became more and more curious about the fierce beasts in these cages, but seeing that there were a bunch of people guarding around him, he didn't plan to lean over to see what kind of fierce beasts they were, but hid in the shadows, preparing to find a lonely evil man to ask about it.
Just when Qiu Yuan was about to signal Xiao Mu to leave, the cage in front of them suddenly roared a huge sound wave that almost made the two of them be discovered by the evil man, and at the same time, the entire ground shook, and the demon beasts in the other cages felt uneasy, trembling and making a low moan.
And the evil clan was also like a great enemy, and the evil people in the entire camp became more cautious, and several of them were the chief stewards, and hurriedly ran to the rioting cage, among which there were also several cultivators, their eyes flashed with horror, and they didn't dare to look at it.
"Hmph, didn't you say that the rune array has trapped it?" one of the evil men at the head turned his head to look at the cultivator behind him, "If something goes wrong, you know the consequences, even if Lord Mo wants to protect you, he can't save you."
If Ni Xiaoyan was here at the moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that the rebuked cultivator was the once invincible Xu Yan in the rune world, compared to the past, he looked a lot embarrassed, the past rebelliousness had disappeared, bending over, groveling like a slave.
"My lord, this is a phenomenon of insufficient spiritual power in the carrier of the rune array, and it is necessary to provide a carrier with sufficient spiritual power. Xu Yi said cautiously, for fear that the other party would be angry.
"Didn't you say it when it was first established, can the rune array be guaranteed to last until they are sent to the Southern Vein Valley?Why can't it be now, does it mean that you wastes are deliberately doing this, you want to vote for the name, and plan to take refuge in those damn Tianxin Society?" You aliens are not fortunate at all, Lao Tzu can't wait to kill them all, I really don't know what Lord Mo thinks, it's really not happy enough. ”
Complaining is complaining, he still has to let Xu Yan deal with the fierce beasts in the cage as soon as possible, if after a long time, the other cage beasts are frightened, and finally explode out of fear, then no one can guarantee whether they can all be sent into the South Vein Valley.
When a group of cultivators carefully pulled open the black curtain shrouded in the huge cage, Qiu Yuan and Xiao Mu, who were hiding in the dark, suddenly became solemn, and the frightened light in their eyes flickered, and they forgot for a moment that they were in the enemy's rear.
The scale armor of the beast in the cage was almost completely charred, and the claws on all fours were stained with sticky black blood, it looked like a huge lizard, its lantern-like eyes turned around, blooming with a fierce light, and the triangular mouth was still dripping with dark green thick liquid, dripping on the ground and making a sizzling sound, wisps of smoke rose.
And several places around it were corroded by the thick liquid on its mouth, leaving a series of potholes.
And the cage that trapped it was also corroded and rusted, and if it hadn't been for the rune array, it would have escaped a long time ago.
And the evil man who was the leader couldn't help but be shocked, his face became ugly, and he pulled Xu Yan on the ground: "What's going on?"
"My lord, the poison of this poisonous worm is too strong, and our talisman carrier can't help it from consuming like this, so ......" The evil man led by him was very impatient to listen to Xu Yan's explanation, and immediately interrupted: "Damn, you are so fucking damned, if this beast doesn't riot, we will all have to play on the road." ”
"Quick, you fucking fix the rune here. At this time, those evil people also began to be afraid, and even wanted to leave here as soon as possible, every time the poisonous worm in the cage roared angrily, the evil man led by him couldn't help but be verbose, he knew how powerful this demon worm was, and thousands of people died when he caught it, if it wasn't for Lord Mo Qing, there would be more deaths.
"But, but ......" Xu Yi was yelled at by the other party and was speechless.
"But what? If it comes out, we're all going to play with the eggs, and we don't even want to live. ”
Finally, Xu Yi relieved the fear in his heart and said with a wry smile: "It's not that we didn't plan to repair the rune array, but many rune masters died in the process of repairing, and some were ...... by you."
"Damn!" the evil man scolded, he knew what Xu Yan wanted to say, these cultivators were like a panacea for improving their cultivation in the eyes of the evil people, and everyone was eager to devour their souls, along the way. Many of them secretly captured a lot of cultivators and secretly devoured them, and up to now, there were less than ten cultivators who had survived.
But ten people, how can they repair these talismans?
The evil man became desperate, it was obvious that the other party couldn't repair these talismans, and he asked coldly, "How long will this guy be able to escape?"
"It's been less than three days. Xu Yan said in a low voice, his eyes flashing, maybe the actual time will be shorter.
The evil man took a cold breath, and did not regret what he had done before, but stood up and gave an order to the people around him: "Stop resting, no matter what, send all these demon insects into the Southern Vein Valley within three days." ”
Soon all the evil people began to move, Qiu Yuan and Xiao Mu were even more restrained, they couldn't leave, and if they were discovered, they would hardly be able to escape from here.
Xiao Mu stared at those cages tightly and said to Qiu Yuan, "What will happen if I release that demon worm?"
"Are you crazy so we'll be discovered. Qiu Yuan immediately stopped it, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes as a last resort.
