Chapter 716: Beast Tide (8)
In the dark night, Zhang Xian's divine sense did not detect anything, because it was too mentally exhausting, he planned to give up the investigation, but on the way back, he suddenly found a village with lights.
"Is that weird?"
These monsters will not let go of any humans, even if some old people are unable to move and don't want to leave, they will eventually become food for monsters.
"It won't be a human, it's a spirit animal, but a spirit beast can't use fire, let alone light a lamp like a human?"
Zhang Xian cautiously approached a large mansion with lights, this house looked like it should be a big family in the village, with a tall gatehouse, many houses, and a back garden.
Before he got close to the mansion, Zhang Xian found a lot of spirit beasts shuttling with the gatehouse.
Zhang Xian is no stranger to spirit animals, and the first person he came into contact with when he came to this world was the Little White Wolf King, followed by the Little White Tiger, etc., and he also saw a lot in the southeast mountainous area.
Compared with the Turin Mountain and the southeast mountainous area, the spirit beasts here are slightly less spiritual, but the demon spirits and evil spirits are stronger, this is because the spirit beasts have little living space in densely populated human places, while the demon spirits and evil spirits are the opposite, they evolve by sucking the dead qi and residual essence blood on the carrion.
In places where there are many human beings, there are more people who are born, old, sick and die unexpectedly, and they have more food.
Beasts, demon beasts, and spirit beasts have a small living space, so there are often fights, and there are many deaths, which adds nutrients to demon spirits and evil spirits.
As for the ghosts, they are relatively rare here, they are timid, and they can't stand the vigorous yang energy brought by the dense human population, so they all hide in places where people are rare.
"I said how I couldn't find the spirit beasts, and they all ran here. β
Zhang Xian found the reason, but there were still doubts, but there were many demon spirits and evil spirits hiding in the shadows, this thing was particularly sensitive to the Yuan Soul, which made Zhang Xian a little hesitant, don't look at the human monks, it is difficult to find Zhang Xian's special out-of-body divine sense, but the demon spirit and the evil spirit are easy to sense, and they are somewhat similar in form.
Divine consciousness is an indiscretable soul bead that melts into the air, and there are spiritual energy fluctuations.
Due to his attributes, the demon spirit is a pale black soul bead that exudes disgusting energy fluctuations, such as when he floats past humans, it makes people feel eerie and irritable.
Evil spirits are almost the same as demon spirits, but the energy fluctuations appear cold and evil, which makes people feel cold all over their bodies and their scalps are fried, because evil spirits are mutated by ghosts, so people encounter ghosts and feel similar to evil spirits.
Those who can turn on the lights a little must be wise demons such as big demons, and demons and evil spirits and ghosts are all disgusted with lights and sunlight.
Although Zhang Xian is a little taboo about demons and evil spirits, the unknown in the mansion is even more tempting.
He wondered what had caused the beast tide.
He reined in the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, and carefully floated downward, slowly landing on the roof of the mansion where the lights overflowed, where only a few birds of prey roosted, because they were only demon birds, and their strength was not high, and they did not sense Zhang Xian's divine sense.
In this area of Zhuo County, the houses are not two-story sheds, normal years, the coldest time here, that is, the river pond is covered with a thin layer of ice, light a stove in the house, or put a brazier to keep warm, so it has passed the cold period, but this year the climate is abnormal, not only here is heavy snow, but also a lot colder, the river and pond are frozen.
The roof is the kind of tile burned by the soil, it is not very smooth, there are gaps to see part of the situation in the house, Zhang Xian is in a state of consciousness, it is impossible to touch the real thing, but it is impossible to completely see the indoor situation from the gap inward, fortunately, there are many birds of prey that have stayed on the roof, such a large size, it is too common to crush the roof tiles that are not very strong, which gives Zhang Xian a chance.
In front of the table sat a man dressed in white fur, with a stove burning at his side, two dead wind lamps hanging high on the beam, a large basin full of cooked meat, and several wine jars beside it.
After Zhang Xian saw this person's face clearly, he decided that this was not a human being, but a quasi-big demon, that is, the demon fox incarnation.
There are also many fierce large spirit beasts in the room, they squat in front of the table, the spirit beasts do not know human language, but they have their way of communication, if Zhang Xian can bring Bai Ling'er here, he can understand the content of their communication.
But Bai Ling'er didn't come, which made Zhang Xian a little regretful, otherwise to solve the beast tide in front of him, as long as Bai Ling'er and her mother came forward, the beast tide would naturally be solved.
Zhang Xian couldn't understand what they were communicating, but he knew how the quasi-great demon and the spirit beast controlled the demon beast.
It's very simple to say, because they have a strong sense of hierarchy, demon beasts don't have as many complex feelings as humans, they respect the strong, and it's easy for a spirit beast to drive tens of thousands of demon beasts, because of the powerful coercion of spirit beasts, so that they can't afford to resist, and they are arrogant, but they end up dead, and the bones don't exist.
And the same is true of monsters and evil creatures, and if you don't obey the demons and evil spirits, you will be devoured.
As long as spirit beasts, demon spirits, and evil spirits pass on their meanings, they will carry them out unconditionally.
Of course, spirit beasts and the like must also obey the command of beings who are more powerful than them.
Now it's the demon fox that is delivering orders, and these spirit beasts are listening.
The demon fox has become a quasi-big demon, and it is at the top of the food chain, whether it is a spirit beast, a demon spirit or an evil spirit, they dare not violate it, otherwise it will be death and destruction.
But Zhang Xian didn't believe that this beast tide would be done by the demon fox, although it could control hundreds of spirit beasts and so on, it didn't have the ability to control such a large range of demons with a number of hundreds of millions, so there was a more powerful existence on it.
But now he didn't think he could investigate.
Zhang Xian left cautiously, and his divine consciousness returned to his body.
Zhang Xian opened his eyes, his face was a little pale, and his spirit was a little sluggish, and Uncle Tai looked at him very worriedly.
"Uncle Tai, is there any situation?"
"Oh, not really, but youβ"
"I'm fine, just take a break. β
"Oh, I'm going to make you some supper and make a pot of tea. β
"Okay. β
Zhang Xian meditated and practiced until dawn, and got up energetically.
After eating the supper made by Uncle Tai and drinking a pot of tea, I still don't feel hungry and thirsty.
"Uncle Tai, you go and rest, and by the way, call Zuo Xuan and Zhang Xian. β
Uncle Tai went to arrange, sent Xiao Fei and Zhang Bao, who had not slept all night, to rest, Xuan Zuo Xuan and Zhang Xian, Uncle Tai called breakfast and made tea before going to rest.
"Get the map of the city. β
Zhang Xian instructed the attendant to find the map, and when Zuo Xuan and Zhang Xian had breakfast, the map was also delivered.
"Look here, this is a village outside the West City, and there is a mansion hereγγγγ"
