Chapter 140: Demon Spirit

I don't know who spoke first, saying that tongues often have good wine on them, and the people around them are all brothers in the same team, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with asking tongues to drink. The dialects didn't speak, but each person handed over a pot of Fenggu mellow, which was a strong spiritual wine, which was suitable for keeping out the cold.

One night the north wind mixed with the snow, and the next morning everyone came out of the snowdrifts, shook off the snow and ice all over their bodies, put away the covers on their bodies, and took out dry food and nibbled on a few bites.

At this time, it was almost the end of the year, and there were not a few days left before the New Year's Day when thousands of families were reunited, but they still had to carry out some patrol tasks at this time. Although monks no longer value the four seasons of the year like mortals, and do those tedious things that usher in the send-off, if they drink wine and enjoy the snow in their own 'cave' mansion at this time, it is a hundred times better than going out to blow the cold wind.

Under the leadership of the captain Jiang Heng, the group set off in a hurry, after he said such a sentence yesterday intentionally or unintentionally, everyone also had a new understanding of the 'sexual' nature of this mission, and no longer made irresponsible remarks about his small wings, and they all followed one by one very vigilantly, protecting each other and 'handing' forward.

Although he did not fly, the strength of the monk's feet was not comparable to that of mortals, and among the mountains of ice and snow everywhere, everyone performed the wind control technique, which was slightly faster than yesterday, and the distance of more than a hundred miles was only four or five hours.

Maogongling is the name of a mountain range in front of you, the original name is derived from the large thatch covered on this mountain range, it is said that there are almost no trees in the surrounding dozens of peaks, and the eyes are full of green thatch, like 'hair' hair all over the mountain, this name was called like this, but no one remembered the previous name.

Now Maogongling has completely changed, under the white snow, you can see all kinds of trees and bushes everywhere, no different from other places, and those long thatched grass has long been gone.

It is said that this is also the area where the disciples of the Earth Fire Palace patrolled, and the group checked their outfits to avoid being discovered by them. They are only here to investigate, and the tasks given to them by the sect are vague, of course, they can't work so hard, so it's better to be careful to avoid them.

Captain Jiang Heng motioned for everyone to hide, and he took Xiao Bin and the others to investigate the neighborhood first, while the others hid under a boulder, carefully guarded. Then Jiang Heng and Xiao Bin walked to the left, stopping from time to time to probe the surrounding situation with their divine vision, and soon disappeared into a blanket of snow.

The dialect and the others honestly stayed under the boulder, which was on a slope at the foot of the mountain, and on the right was a river leading to the outside of the mountain, although the water was frozen, but they could still perceive the raging river underground with their divine sense. On the 'spring' day of the next year, there may also be a surging river here, and when the mountains are green and green, there will be groups of monsters coming around.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Jiang Heng and the others came back with interest, and they didn't find anything nearby, not to mention that the monks of the Earth Fire Palace didn't even see a demon beast, and they didn't know where to hide under this white snow.

In winter, the sky was dark, and the overcast sky was getting darker, and the group began to look for shelter in the vicinity. Halfway up the mountain, a naturally formed mountain 'hole' was discovered, which was not deep inside, but the mouth of the 'hole' was very wide, with two huge stones in the shape of a herringbone on the top, which looked like a simple house from the outside.

Everyone hid in one after another, each looking for a clean place to sit down, and Jiang Heng set up a simple formation around here, and wanted to spend a long winter night here. When it was time to eat, it was naturally indispensable to carry the spirit wine carried by the dialect, but fortunately, he had a few large drinking utensils on him, otherwise it would really not be enough to supply this group of teammates who specialize in eating and drinking for nothing.

Between the cups and bowls, I didn't realize that several people were already a little drunk, Jiang Heng immediately stopped everyone, there was no movement here during the day, but who knows where there is lurking, don't be careless and lose your life. Fang Yan is also really a little distressed, this group of people drink wine that doesn't cost money, eight people drank more than 20 pots of him in a day, fortunately he didn't take out the green bamboo wine and gold 'flower' brew, otherwise I don't know how much he would have to drink.

Fang Yan didn't dare to drink too much, he always drank a little and never drank too much, and there was a demon cultivator in his sea of consciousness who was eyeing him, which made him worry about his stomach every day, and it was difficult to let go.

The group was quiet in this mountain 'cave', leaving only one member of the team on duty, and the others fell asleep deeply. Fang Yan was also very tired, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, always vaguely thinking that something would happen tonight, or that the demon cultivator had put some pressure on him, making him always a little restless.

Lying on the futon for half a day, when he was a little drowsy, suddenly Fang Yan jumped up with some vigilance, ran towards the mouth of the 'hole', and shouted: "Get up!" Then the two talismans flew towards a place at the mouth of the 'hole', and in the blink of an eye, there was a loud "boom", and the two flame talismans emitted a dazzling firelight, collided with a huge black shadow, and exploded at the mouth of the 'hole'.

At this time, Hu Yuanxi, who was on duty at the entrance of the 'cave', fled in embarrassment, glanced at the dialect with emotion, and shouted loudly into the 'cave': "Demon spirits, demon spirits, countless demon spirits have come from the 'cave'!"

Through the light of the fire, Fang Yan saw these huge black shadows clearly, they were all white 'colored' or blue-colored' demon spirits, but they did not have the dense body 'hair' or scale armor of ordinary demon beasts, but they were like human skins, but their surfaces were very smooth, and their whole bodies were crystal clear, and they looked very beautiful.

The appearance of these demon spirits is also different when you look closely, some look like demon beasts, some look like human beings, and some are very similar to the ice rays that Fang Yan has encountered before, all kinds of demon spirits of different forms and appearances are 'mixed' together, frantically attacking the magic circle of the guardian dialect, which looks indescribably weird.

Jiang Heng and the others rushed over from behind, looking at the demon spirits crowded outside the formation, they couldn't help but stay for a moment, anyone who looked at the demon spirits that suddenly appeared here would feel that their brains were not enough, and they couldn't understand why they appeared here.

Demon spirits are very ancient beings, it is said that they have been living here for countless years before humans and demon beasts appeared in this cultivation realm, not to mention the demonic beasts and ghost beasts that only appeared inexplicably later. In fact, strictly speaking, the human race and the demon beast are both alien species, and the dialect I remember seeing it in the 'jade' slip of a monk, who once compared the human race and the demon beast to ugly and barbaric invaders, and vigorously preached the protection of these beautiful aborigines.

Fang Yan has long scoffed at this monk's naïve idea, and there are indeed many people who hold such thoughts, just like Qingluan once thought that the demon spider was very cute, but they never showed mercy when they attacked their opponents. Moreover, the human race is not a powerful species in this immortal cultivation realm, as far as the dialect currently knows, there are still a large number of places in this world that humans cannot reach at all, and there are many species that are much stronger than the human race.

The demons in front of them are indeed as beautiful as this man said, but their bloodthirsty eyes and sharp claws show that they are not here to show their beauty, and the dialect will never be stupid to protect them, and it is important to save their lives now.

Compared with the human race, the demon spirits also have their fatal weakness, that is, like the demon beasts, it is very difficult to open the spiritual intelligence, which is why they have dominated the cultivation realm for so many years, but they are not the same as the masters here. In a 'jade' Jane of the beast mastery, Fang Yan also saw an introduction to subduing demon spirits as spirit pets, but Fang Yan didn't know much about these, if Qingluan was here, he could give it a try.

Jiang Heng was even more surprised at this time, he knew far more about the situation in this Guardian Mountain than others, he had the cultivation of the late stage of Qi training, plus he had been stationed here before, and he had not entered the mountain to hunt demons during the period, but he had never seen a demon spirit so close to the fortress, and he had only seen it once when he had only seen it once when he went deep into the Guardian Mountain nearly 10,000 miles away by chance.

The demons have a very strong sense of territory, once an area is used by them as a nest, a large area will be occupied by them, and other species other than the demons will be expelled or exterminated. Moreover, this seemingly beautiful creature has a very violent temperament, and will attack as long as the territory is threatened, and no matter how high the cultivation of the invading enemy is, there is no fear in their low spiritual intelligence.

Because of this, all the monks who have participated in the demon hunt know that they should not provoke the demon spirits, unless the strength of the demon hunting team can kill them all, they should try to avoid them. And the materials on the demon spirits are not as valuable as the demon beasts, except for a body of flesh and blood, there are not many other useful places, if you can capture their nest 'hole', you may still have something to gain, if you can't do it, it's better to give up as soon as possible.

I don't know when a large number of demon spirits gathered outside the formation, and the simple magic circle became precarious for a while, Jiang Heng's face sank like water at the moment, and while loudly ordering Chen Xi and a few people to quickly maintain the magic circle, he rushed forward to resist the demon spirits that rushed like the 'tide'. At this moment, everyone is bitter, they didn't see half of them after inspecting the circle yesterday, they knew that this was their territory, and they wouldn't stay here overnight.

Fortunately, there are some low-level demon spirits outside, and they don't have any intelligence, they only know how to blindly attack the formation outside, and they don't have to worry about them attacking for a while. But it's not a way to be besieged like this, the ghost knows how many demon spirits live here, and if they come out, I'm afraid there will be more than that.

It is said that the demon spirit also has a peculiar talent, that is, it is very sensitive to the spirit objects of heaven and earth, which is somewhat similar to the purple pupil beast, the difference is that the purple pupil beast is only interested in spiritual 'medicine' and prohibition, while the demon spirit is more sensitive to various spiritual objects and spiritual ores of the genus 'sex'. And most of their cultivation is also related to this, but it is not to consume these spiritual objects to cultivate, but to use these items to advance themselves, and even make these spiritual objects slowly increase, which is very supernatural.

There are so many demon spirits gathered here, and I don't know what is in this mountain, but it is not a dialect that they can covet, and the dialect can be sure at this moment that those monks of the Earth Fire Palace followed the guidance of these demon spirits to come here to find spiritual objects.

For those deacons in the foundation building period, if there is any spiritual object or spiritual ore on this mountain not far from the fortress, they can immediately sell it and take it into their pockets, which is what is attractive to them, and according to the agreement reached by several sect 'gates', no matter what is found nearby, whoever occupies it first will belong to whoever owns it, and other sect 'gates' are not allowed to snatch it again.

But what they were thinking about at the moment was how to escape from this place, and once the circle was broken by these besieged demons, the eight monks in the team would not be enough for them to fill their teeth. Jiang Heng was also sweating profusely at the moment, resisting the attack of the demon spirits at the edge of the formation with all his might, reducing their destructive power to the magic array, hoping to be able to hold on until dawn, and then wait for an opportunity to break through.

There is another point that Jiang Heng didn't say in his heart, that is, he was worried that the movement here would be discovered by the monks sent by other sects, not because he was afraid that they would come to compete for credit, but because he was afraid that they would take advantage of the fire to rob and kill them here, so that the secrets of this place could be kept, waiting for the elders in their 'gate' to arrive.

At this time, there is still a long time before dawn, and this hastily laid magic circle does not seem to be able to last long, and it is not clear how many demon spirits are outside, but even the demon spirits who are already here are enough for them to deal with, and the only way to do this is to find a way to send the news out.
