Volume 1: The Beginning of Yunxuan Chapter 125: Artificial
From the moment someone died, the crowd was in turmoil, and all kinds of yells were staggered.
Almost all the disciples drew their weapons one after another.
Scarlet Xiaoyu blocked Yu Dashuai and the others behind him, and the fire sword was unsheathed again.
"Demon puppet?" Long Wenmu whispered the title he had shouted in the song, and this was the first time he had heard of this statement. What is a golem?
When the crowd was chaotic, the black shadow from before went and returned.
Long Wenmu heard some kind of beast-like roar, and the black shadow flew back from a distance, quickly killing a few lone disciples.
"Beast, don't you think!" Qu Zhongyi reacted one step faster, his strength ran to his fingers, pointing to the wind like a sword, and when he flew out, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the black shadow.
The energy bursts out, and the person has not yet arrived, and the energy has penetrated the void.
Qu Zhongyi made a move, and his strength was clearly a few points stronger than that of the scarlet fish.
Obviously, the finger is on the pavement, but the black shadow does not hide. When the energy fell on his body, he was staggered out, revealing his true face.
Long Wenmu saw clearly at this time that the black shadow was clearly a person in a black robe.
But when I looked closely, my heart shook violently.
The Black Shadow was a middle-aged man, with something resembling a fish's fin on his cheeks, and his forehead and neck were clearly covered in scales. The hands under the sleeves are not hands at all, but two sharp claws.
The middle-aged man's eyes did not have black kernels, but a certain ice blue.
The low roar in his mouth is no different from that of a wild beast.
This look...... Long Wenmu's heart trembled.
Not only him, but even Yu Dashuai was dumbfounded.
didn't wait for them to think about it, Qu Zhongyi took the lead in killing.
The other party behaves like a wild beast, and when he senses danger, he wants to flee.
At this time, the scarlet fish also followed, and the blade of the sword danced out of a wall of fire, blocking the man's way.
The meaning of the song comes from behind, pointing to the wind in the back of the person's heart.
"Die!" Qu Zhongyi let out a low cry, his strength exploded, and there was a soft "bang" sound from under the man's chest, and a piece of blood red spurted out of his mouth, and he fell straight down.
Qu Zhongyi's strength is very strong, even much higher than the scarlet fish. Although this person called a demon puppet is not weak, he still directly broke his heart.
The scarlet fish put the sword into the sheath, floated down, and Qu Zhongyi also withdrew his hand.
Everyone sensed it carefully, and the man was already lifeless.
That person's strength should be comparable to that of the Great Demon Master, Qu Zhongyi and Scarlet Xiaoyu joined forces, and this person couldn't resist at all. But then again, if it weren't for the two of them and someone else to deal with it, there might have been casualties.
"Is this a demon puppet?" Scarlet Fish whispered as he looked at the dead man, his expression solemn.
I've heard a lot of rumors before, but it's the first time I've seen it in person.
"It's not wrong, it's the demon puppet. I've encountered a demon puppet before, and I'm similar to this one. Qu Zhongyi said.
A few disciples were summoned to deal with it, while others began to watch out for their surroundings.
Scarlet Xiaoyu returned to Yu Dashuai and Long Wenmu.
"Scarlet girl, what is a demon puppet?" Long Wenmu already had a guess in his heart, but he still asked.
Scarlet Xiaoyu pursed her lips gently, and at this point, she knew that there were things that could no longer be hidden. Moreover, Long Wenmu and the others have already seen it with their own eyes, and it may not be good for them to hide it from them in the future.
"The so-called demon puppet is a person who has been corrupted by demonic energy. Scarlet Fish said.
Really. Long Wenmu also guessed this in his heart.
The features on the man's face were all inhuman. There are traces of demon beasts on the body, which is clearly eroded by demon qi. Because he has experienced it himself, he knows it better than anyone.
Scarlet Xiaoyu paused and looked at the two of them: "You also know that the biggest taboo when refining source stones is not to be anxious. Once there is a mistake in the refining process, the demonic qi that is too late to refine will erode one's body. Once it is eroded by demonic energy, deprived of its mind, loses its mind, and assimilates its body into a demon beast, it is impossible to change back. Swung by the wild, shaped like a puppet. This kind of existence that is eroded by demonic energy, we call him a demon puppet. ”
"Actually, the news we received this time is that there are demon golems haunting the mountains. This kind of existence is more dangerous than the demon beasts, and although I don't know how they can appear in such a place, if they are not contained as soon as possible, they will definitely cause a catastrophe. ”
Long Wenmu and Yu Dashuai looked at each other.
"Long Manzi, I remember your ......" Yu Dashuai said vigilantly to Chonglong Wenmu.
"Confidentiality. Long Wenmu gave him a look, and the demonic power transmitted.
If you are eroded by demonic energy, you can't come back, so you can be an exception. Until you really figure out what's going on, some things are better buried in your heart, and if people know about it, no one can say for sure whether there will be trouble.
Since Long Wenmu was almost corrupted by demonic energy, it was also the first time he had encountered other people who were corrupted by demonic energy.
looked at the middle-aged man who was completely dead, and felt related.
It is indeed a pity that an accident occurred on the way to refining the source stone. Not only did it not go further, but it also fell to this point.
It's not about sympathy, it's just empathy.
Scarlet Xiaoyu is always on guard around here, and Qu Zhongyi also ordered.
"There may be more than one enemy, so everyone should be vigilant. Qu Zhongyi shouted, "Everyone is divided into four teams, with me, Scarlet Xiaoyu, Gangyi, and Tianhua as the leaders, and the remaining twenty people on the demon master list who are ranked, and five people as a group, respectively, join the team, and the rest of the disciples join the team according to the number of people." ”
Most of the disciples of Qingyun Fort are well-trained, and they also have explanations before they come out. Qu Zhongyi gave a simple order, and the disciples took action one after another, and they were soon assigned to four equal teams.
Each team has strong people, so it is more convenient to fight the enemy when they are distributed.
Long Wenmu and Yu Dashuai were in the team of Scarlet Fish, and Long Wenmu was a little puzzled: "There is more than one demon puppet?"
"Hmm. Scarlet nodded, "The news we received earlier was that there were at least a few demon golems. ”
Long Wenmu was even more surprised.
It shouldn't be like that.
If the demon golem was caused by a mistake in refining the source stone, there was no reason for many demon golems to gather together.
"How can there be several demon golems? Demon golems are no different from beasts, how can they gather together?" Long Wenmu said his question.
"It's true that normal demon puppets don't ......," Scarlet Xiaoyu said, "but this demon puppet may have been deliberately created by someone." ”
Long Wenmu and Yu Dashuai were taken aback.
If you want to talk about the method, it couldn't be easier. As long as he fails to absorb the source stone while he is promoted, it is possible to create a demon puppet, but who is so ruthless?
And the demon puppet was created and put into this mountain range, could it be that it meant Qingyun Castle?
So far, Scarlet Xiaoyu doesn't hide it: "I don't know a lot of things, but there are rumors that someone is secretly creating some kind of forbidden technique, and many demon puppets are coming from this." In fact, in the past few decades, it is not the first time that Qingyun Castle has encountered this kind of thing. There are also people who are looking for the source, but so far there is no result. ”
"Demon ......" Long Wenmu subconsciously spit out two words.
"What did you say?" Scarlet Fish turned her head.
Long Wenmu hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
When he was in the Foggy Mountain, when he killed the Black Dragon Hall Steps, Long Wenmu vaguely remembered that he had said these two words.
Demon Golem, Forbidden Technique, Demonization?
Long Wenmu squinted, and when everyone was not paying attention, he walked to the side of the corpse.
Stared for a moment, crouched down slightly.
On the arm of the corpse, a black spot that was vaguely visible, Long Wenmu pulled up his sleeve. On the hand of the corpse, there was a vivid black dragon pattern.
"Black Dragon, Black Dragon Palace?" Long Wenmu muttered to himself silently.
The team rested around for a while.
Two teams stayed where they were, while the other two searched the neighborhood.
But after this search, there was nothing to be gained except to find some traces.
"Keep going. Qu Zhongyi ordered.
The team set off slowly and continued to march deeper into the mountains.
According to Scarlet Fish, the purpose of their visit is that the elimination of the demon puppet is only one aspect, and the more important thing is to find the traces of the demon puppet.
After all, being able to pass through the mountains, there must be no shortage of strong people among the demon puppets.
Corrupted by demon energy, in a sense, the strength of these demon puppets is difficult to measure in a normal way.
It is impossible for all the disciples to take risks on the side of Qingyun Castle, and after finding the traces, naturally the strong people of Qingyun Castle will come forward to kill.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky was getting darker.
At night, it was difficult to move, and everyone set up camp in a relatively safe mountain stream.
There were several fires, and everyone sat around.
The jungle gets cold at night.
Long Wenmu and the three of them stayed in a corner together.
They were all pranayama with their eyes closed, but no one felt sleepy.
Long Wenmu sat cross-legged, dividing some of his mind to sense the surroundings, and no movement could escape his perception.
The night deepened until midnight. Long Wenmu, who was pranayama, suddenly opened his eyes, not only him, but also the scarlet fish in the team, Qu Zhongyi sensed it at the same time.
Here it is! Long Wenmu was alert in his heart.
Something is approaching, extremely fast, and there are quite a few of them.
The firelight flickered, and something suddenly shuttled in and out.
A sharp whistle pierced the sky, and everyone opened their eyes in unison.
The whistle sounded as a signal that the enemy was coming, and the signal sounded, and all the disciples who had been prepared for it got up in unison.
Numerous black shadows appeared in the range of the firelight, falling from above.
Long Wenmu put on a defensive posture, and by the light of the fire, he could see that these black shadows were all the size of ordinary people, some of them were humanoid, and some of them were like pure beasts, and even their body sizes had completely changed.
Every body has traces of demonic erosion, demon puppet!
Together...... Two ...... Five ...... Seven ...... Eleven...... Twelve......
Long Wenmu sensed out, and there were as many as twelve black shadows.
So many demon golems! Even if he was prepared, it was still a little unexpected.
The black shadow fell from the sky, pounced on the crowd and began to kill.
These golems are the equivalent of beasts, there is no reason to speak of, and the fight is just an instinctive reaction.
Scarlet Fish and the others were equally shocked, even they didn't expect the number of demon puppets to reach such a level.
Although the purpose is only to investigate, since it has been encountered, it can't be avoided if you want to.
At night, a big battle unfolded vigorously. Numerous shouts and wails rang out.
In the demon puppet, the strength is strong and weak.
When encountering a weak one, you can quickly kill it, but when you encounter a strong one, ordinary disciples can't resist it at all.
Less than a dozen minutes after the battle began, quite a few people were injured.
If it hadn't been arranged before, and the enemy could have been met in an orderly manner, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater now.
Most of the disciples can't actually compete with the demon puppet, and the people who are fighting with the demon puppet at the moment are all ranked people.
The strong fight alone, the weaker one, sometimes two or three people join forces to deal with one.
Scarlet Fish is also at war with a demon golem on his side, but this demon golem is far stronger than the one encountered during the day, and Scarlet Fish can't gain the upper hand for a short time.
