Chapter 80: The Difference Between Monsters
When the dark clouds completely dispersed, and the winter sun sprinkled on the barren wild mountains again, Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye, who had finally crawled out of the ground, were lying on their backs on the ground, gasping for breath. Obviously, they were fighting in broad daylight when the yang energy was at its heaviest, and they also arranged the Three Yang Returning Yuan Array around in advance that could attract sunlight, which could be said to have taken advantage of the favorable time and place, but even so, the two of them still fell into a desperate situation twice in a short period of time.
It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for the fact that he had gained enough experience on the line of life and death during the battle against the centipede spirit at night, as well as the tactical tacit understanding that he had cultivated a little, this battle would have been so difficult.
Zhiqiu Yiye turned his head to look at Zhou Xiuchun, who was still immersed in the emotion of "Lao Tzu saved the world", and said to Zhiqiu Yiye weakly: "I didn't expect that Uncle Shi's sleeves were so advanced that even the demon pill could be easily accepted." ”
Yan Chixia relieved herself, sat up with one hand on her body, glanced at Zhou Xiuchun, who was smirking, and said with a smile: "With his virtue, if he really had this ability, he would have taken it out to show off a long time ago, I guess he just hit it by mistake." ”
"That's not right!" Zhiqiu Yiye retorted, "I think Uncle Zhou must have been proficient in this way for a long time, he is not inconspicuous, or in order to prevent Cai Shengxiang from peeping in the dark, he must be deliberately showing weakness." ”
"That's right, too......" Yan Chixia was still a little unable to get used to Zhou Xiuchun's image of Spell Xuantong, so she simply shook her head and said, "Don't talk about this, now that this tree demon has been completely eliminated, it's time for us to go to the capital." ”
Zhiqiu Yiye stood up and dusted off the weeds on his body. raised his eyes to look, but heard Zhou Xiuchun, who was not far away, suddenly shouted: "Heaven and earth are infinite." Qiankun borrows the law!"
Boom! Boom!
Two thunder spells drawn with black dog blood carved two large holes in the ground. Zhou Xiuchun beckoned to Zhiqiu Yiye and shouted, "Zhiqiu, come and smell if there is any smell of demon beards!"
"Good!"
Zhiqiu Yiye answered, and quickly ran to the body of the tree demon grandmother.
This thousand-year-old locust tree has completely turned into black charcoal at this time, and the hundreds of ghost heads hanging on the branches have long been sunburned. The air around the tree was filled with a strong smell of burning, and Zhiqiu Yiye sniffed vigorously. said to Zhou Xiuchun: "Uncle Shi, under this big tree, there are still a few living demon whiskers. ”
Zhou Xiuchun smiled slightly, and handed the machete into Zhiqiu Yiye's hand.
The roots of the old locust tree are deep.
Zhiqiu Yiye had to go down to dig in the ground.
Zhou Xiuchun and Yan Chixia sat on the ground and waited, and when they had nothing to do, Zhou Xiuchun asked Yan Chixia: "How do I feel that this tree demon is more powerful than the centipede spirit last night?"
"How did Ziyang Zhenren teach you?" Yan Chixia shook her head speechlessly and explained to Zhou Xiuchun, "The grass and tree monsters are different from the monsters that animals have become. Animals are closer to people. Born with the five senses of sight, smell, smell, and touch, so for the monsters cultivated by animals, as long as they can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon or the essence of living people day by day, their cultivation can grow slowly. The longer the years, the higher the skill. But this kind of improvement is one step at a time. Unless they devour the other youkai's inner dan, it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough.
But the grass and wood monsters are different. These flowers and trees are born without five senses. Therefore, if they want to become as free as animals, they not only have to absorb the yang energy of living people over a long period of time, but also have to cultivate their five senses step by step, and each time they cultivate one sense, their mana will be doubled. ”
Zhou Xiuchun thought that Xiaoqian had said that "grandma's nose" was particularly powerful, and nodded convincingly.
Yan Chixia had already started talking anyway, so she simply told Zhou Xiuchun everything else related to her, and he continued: "The monsters in the world, we roughly divide them into upper, middle and lower grades, and the top grades can be cultivated into a fake body, that is, a humanoid body, for example, this tree demon, the centipede essence that I met last night, cultivated to correspond to our refining period." The medium-grade ones are some monsters that are tricky enough, but their brains are not very open, and they don't know how to disguise themselves as humans, and they are cultivated to correspond to our Peiyuan period. There are also inferior ones, that is, they have just had a little spiritual sense, and in terms of ability, they are slightly stronger than the original, corresponding to our Qi training. ”
Zhou Xiuchun said: "No, according to what you said, the three of us are obviously only cultivators of the Peiyuan realm, why did we kill the monsters corresponding to the god refining period?"
Yan Chixia explained: "The so-called heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, people are above gods and ghosts, and the so-called gods actually refer to monsters transformed by animals and plants. Human beings are the spirits of all things, and they are born stronger than animals and plants, and animals and plants are more advanced than the lonely souls and wild ghosts that wander between heaven and earth, so even though our cultivation is not as good as these monsters, we can still defeat them. ”
Zhou Xiuchun drew inferences and said: "No wonder every time I encounter these monsters, there are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts under their hands that can be driven. ”
"You're right. Yan Chixia nodded and said, "The more high-level monsters are, the more they know how to use wild ghosts, in fact, think about it, aren't people the same? ”
At this time, Zhiqiu Yiye had a face full of land coming out from underneath, and he was still holding a few bloody demon whiskers in his hands, and said excitedly: "Uncle Shi, I dug up the demon whiskers!"
Zhou Xiuchun was silent for two seconds, and said softly to Yan Chixia: "My character is obvious to all, and Zhiqiu is willing to help." ”
Yan Chixia looked at Zhiqiu Yiye and sighed angrily.
Zhiqiu Yiye climbed up, threw the demon whisker to the ground, and said confusedly: "What are you two talking about?"
Zhou Xiuchun hurriedly put a few precious demon whiskers into the ring first, and said casually: "We are talking about how we have always encountered such non-mainstream monsters recently, either trees or centipedes, the level of the biological chain is too low, and there are some jackals, tigers and leopards and the like." ”
"Uncle Shi, if there are really some jackals, tigers and leopards, we won't be able to defeat them. Zhiqiu Yiye patted the mud on his body and said with a smile, "The more powerful the beast, the stronger the ability after cultivating into a monster, think about it, if there is a monster cultivated by a rooster around here, that centipede spirit would have slipped away a long time ago." ”
Zhou Xiuchun asked innocently, "Is there really a rooster that has cultivated into a monster?"
"I haven't seen it anyway. "Zhiqiu Yiye said.
Zhou Xiuchun asked, "Why?"
"Why are you so stupid!" Yan Chixia couldn't help but tease Zhou Xiuchun and said, "Everyone in this world can't eat enough, if there is really a rooster, how can you give it time to become spermatological, of course, you will kill it directly when you see it!"
Zhiqiu Yiye continued: "Also, those slightly larger animals, which one of them will die if they meet people. Those who can still cultivate to perfection now are those snakes, insects, rats and ants who hide underground all day long, as well as these old trees whose bark no one wants to eat. After I came down the mountain, I walked several places, and in some places, even the locusts were about to be eaten and extinct.
Zhou Xiuchun said with a lonely face: "I can't imagine that the animals in this world live so hard......"
"Hard work!" Yan Chixia said with a straight face, "When they become fine, it should be us who work hard." ”
"I'm not afraid, the more youkai I am. Zhiqiu Yiye said sadly, and then turned to ask Zhou Xiuchun, "Uncle Shi, can you teach me that trick?"
Zhou Xiuchun stared at Zhiqiu Yiye for a long time, sighed softly, shook his head and said, "No, your qualifications are too low, I can't teach you." ”
Zhiqiu Yiye was suddenly disappointed, and said in frustration: "I can't imagine that I, who is known as the most promising newcomer of the Kunlun faction, can't even learn this trick." ”
Zhou Xiuchun smiled and comforted: "Zhiqiu, don't be sad, to learn this trick, you must be a genius in ten thousand." My master searched all over the world, and it took half a lifetime to find an apprentice with excellent wisdom like me, you can't learn this trick, it's very normal, if you can learn it, it's really abnormal. ”
Zhiqiu Yiye nodded, and asked again: "Uncle Shi, that demon pill just now is so fierce, you use this trick to get into your sleeves, if you tear off your sleeves, won't you end up with that monster?"
"Nonsense, a pure man like me, even if he encounters an extreme situation, he will never break his sleeves. Zhou Xiuchun said seriously, and asked Zhiqiu Yiye rhetorically, "Is there still a demon beard underneath?"
Zhiqiu Yiye nodded.
Zhou Xiuchun immediately said: "Then why don't you hurry up and dig up all the demon whiskers, what if the wind blows and gives birth again?"
Zhiqiu Yiye hurriedly did so and went down.
Zhou Xiuchun turned his head and smiled at Yan Chixia, but saw that the old boy was rolling his eyes at himself.
Zhou Xiuchun raised his head and explained: "Bearded, do you think that I am relying on my identity as an uncle to force him to do things for me? You are wrong! I conquered him with my personality charm! My Zhou Xiuchun's character has always been well-known!"
Yan Chixia said in a deep voice: "The character of those bastards is also well-known. (To be continued......)
