Eight hundred and forty-two corpses
"Huh!?"
After walking for a while, Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows. Not far ahead, a figure appeared. Judging from the figure costumes, it seems to be a monk of the Barbarian Sect. This person stood motionless, and there was no breath on his body, if it weren't for the other party standing not far away, Mo Chong would almost not be able to find it.
"Senior brother, what happened?" This person was so strange that Mo Chong naturally did not step forward easily, but stopped in place and spoke loudly.
No response. The people in front didn't know if they hadn't heard it, or if they didn't want to pay attention to Mo Chong, they just stood there motionless. Mo Chong frowned. This man must have been frozen to death? Otherwise, how could there be no reaction?
Shocked in his heart, Mo Chong made a big circle from a distance and came to the front of this motionless barbarian sect monk.
The barbarian monk had a calm face and was looking ahead. It's just that there is a layer of ice shell half an inch thick outside, like an ice sculpture. He was really frozen, but Mo Chong was a little far away just now, and it was snowing heavily, so he didn't see it clearly.
"Doesn't it mean that this Ice and Fire Path is not dangerous, and only one man has been damaged in several explorations?"
Mo Chong frowned. After a moment of silence, Mo Chong reached out and patted the frozen Barbarian Sect monk on the shoulder. Although I don't know why this guy in front of me is frozen here, if it can be thawed in time, he may not die.
"Click. ”
There was a soft thud. The frozen monk's shoulder was slapped by Mo Chong, and a crack immediately appeared. The rift soon spread and spread, and in a short time it was already all over the monk's body. I only heard a 'bang'. The frozen monk was shattered into a pile of colorful ice slag in front of Mo Chong's eyes.
Mo Chong was stunned. Although he did use some strength in this shot, his original intention was only to shake off the ice shell outside the monk's body, and the other party's whole person was shattered like this!?
"Whew. ”
There was another soft thud. The pile of colorful ice slag on the ground suddenly lost its color and turned into a pile of ordinary transparent ice chips. Seeing the change of ice slag, Mo Chong's heart sank. Secretly screamed, 'Not good!' and immediately stepped a little on his feet, and quickly went backwards.
However, Mo Chong's action was still a little late. Just as his body was retreating, there was a 'bang' under his feet, and his left foot, which was moving a little slowly, had been frozen by the cold ice that had been born from the ground. The ice seemed to be alive, and it froze Mo Chong's left foot. Immediately spread upwards along the surface of Mo Chong's feet.
Mo Chong gritted his teeth, flipped his palm, and took out the Fire Phoenix Sword, wanting to split the ice that froze his left foot. Pity. The ice spreads much faster than Mo Chong's movements. In just the blink of an eye, the cold ice had already frozen Mo Chong's entire person. Mo Chong's people also maintained the movement of the moment when they stepped back and raised their swords to slash.
The howling cold wind continued to blow. Heavy snow is also falling one after another. Mo Chong's man stood motionless above the snow, as if he were a crappy performer performing a pantomime on stage.
After a long while, a transparent figure suddenly appeared in the ice and snow without warning. This figure is crystal clear, as if it is carved from cold ice. Floating three feet above the ground, slowly approaching the frozen Mo Chong. It's an ice demon. There are ice, fire, and two-attribute monsters in the Ice and Fire Dao, and someone had already told Mo Chong about this before he set off. Why is Mo Chong so careless?
"Hey, hee, hee!"
The Ice Demon soon came to Mo Chong's side. It seemed to be very happy, and it couldn't help but swirl around the ice sculpture-like ink, and its mouth made a sound similar to that of laughter.
"Whoosh!"
The sword flashed. Mo Zheng, who had already been frozen into an ice sculpture, suddenly broke the ice outside his body, and the fire phoenix sword in his hand also stabbed out quickly. Where would the ice demon have thought that the frozen Mo Chong would suddenly make a move, caught off guard. It had already been pierced into its body by Mo Chong's sword, and several cracks immediately appeared around the part of its body that was attacked by the Fire Phoenix Sword. It doesn't just look like it's made of ice. It is also similar in nature to hard and brittle ice cubes.
"Boom!"
Mo Chong's wrist flicked, and the Fire Phoenix Sword crisscrossed again, splitting out more than a dozen swords in an instant. The ice demon, which was already shattered, was immediately chopped into a pile of broken ice by Mo Chong. But this is not over, after smashing the ice demon, Mo Chong opened his mouth again, and a large bright flame 'whirred' to the ground. It was spewed out of his mouth by Mo Chong, as if it was a blooming fire lotus.
Under the scorching flames, the ice demon let out a wail, and was soon roasted into a cloud of steam, floating in all directions. One is translucent. The dove-egg-sized demon pill also 'banged' and fell to the ground from mid-air.
"With only this level of monsters, it seems that people really can't die. Looking at the ice demon that had dissipated into water vapor, Mo Chong muttered to himself, five fingers, and took the demon pill on the ground into his hand, and then continued to move forward a little under his feet.
Corpses were strewn all over the field, and the ground was devastated and devastated.
After walking for more than an hour, a large corpse of a barbarian monk appeared in front of Mo Chong's eyes. These corpses were covered in bruises, and the ground was also full of damaged magic weapons, apparently after a hard battle.
"Huh, here you go again?"
Seeing everything in front of him, Mo Chong snorted lightly. He was deceived by the ice demon once with psychedelic techniques, and this time he certainly won't be easily fooled again. What's more, there are twenty or thirty people in this large area of corpses in front of him, how can there be such a powerful monster in this Ice and Fire Dao?
Although he knew that all this in front of him was an illusion made by the Ice Demon and the like, Mo Chong did not take a detour and walked away, but stopped and took a closer look. Ice demons, snow demons and the like, Mo Chong doesn't care much about it. But the illusions they created were real. He had been deceived once before, but this time he had to take a closer look and try to see a little flaw.
Shape, color, smell. Everything seems so realistic. After observing for a while, Mo Chong shook his head and sighed lightly. As soon as he raised his hand, a sword qi **** came out and hit one of the corpses. It seems that if you want to distinguish the real from the fake, you can only start from the texture. No matter how realistic things become, the fact that their essence is made of ice remains the same. Mo Chong had known this before.
"Click. ”
There was a crunch. The corpse that was hit by the sword qi ejected by Mo Chong was hit by a bloody hole. A small amount of blood clots that were in the form of a stream and had not yet completely frozen immediately flowed out of the blood hole.
"Hmph, the illusion has done this, it's quite realistic. Mo Chong snorted again, and his palm flipped over. He took out the Fire Phoenix Sword and prepared to deal with the ice demon that was about to appear. However, the time for a stick of incense passed. The expected ice demon did not appear, and the corpses lying in front of him did not disappear, but the blood clots that flowed from the corpse that had been hit by Mo Chong in the bloody hole just now condensed into blood-colored ice crystals.
Mo Chong's face changed slightly. All this in front of him was an illusion, and he attacked it just now. It probably won't last much longer. But if it weren't for the illusion, how could it be possible for the Barbarians to lose twenty or thirty people here at once!?
In his heart, Mo Chong couldn't care about this anymore, and immediately flashed forward and grabbed a severed hand on the ground.
You can't go wrong.
Mo Chong's face was gloomy. He may not have been sure just now. But at this moment, when he grabbed the severed hand, Mo Chong was sure that this was a real severed hand. No illusion can transform an illusion to such a realistic level. These dead people in front of you are all real!?
The face was gloomy. Mo Chong immediately checked several more corpses. The results quickly confirmed his suspicions. The corpses are all real. Each one was genuine, and it couldn't be dead. Mo Chong even saw a Yuanying monk in it. This person was one of the two Yuanying Monks who had led more than 200 Jiedan monks to escort them before.
Shouldn't these people be guarding the entrance to the ruins? How could they come here? Didn't the Ice and Fire Dao say that there was no great danger? Why did such a group of people die here? What did the top brass of the Barbarian Sect hide!?
There were more and more doubts in Mo Chong's heart. Leaves him a little confused. And at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the sky, and a light flashed from afar.
There is a ban on air in the Ice and Fire Path. Only cultivation above the Yuan infant stage can control the light and fly. Is it a monk, or is it a ninth-level demon cultivator equivalent to the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage!? Mo Chong's face changed, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately jumped up and jumped onto the branch of a pine tree next to him. Restrained his breath.
'Not good!'
Mo Chong, who had just been hiding his figure, changed his face again. He had come all the way, and there was a long trail of footprints on the ground. Although it was snowing heavily. He had been standing there for a while, and the footprints on the ground were no longer obvious. But where he stood, he left two deep footprints. Doesn't this make it clear to the person who came to tell someone that someone was standing here just now?
Mo Chong, who found this flaw, immediately reached out and wiped the snow on the branches, and threw it at the place where he left his footprints on the ground. When Mo Chong grabbed the second ball of snow and wanted to throw it out. A powerful aura of mana had reached the top of his head. Judging from the breath, it is an immortal cultivator. People have come.
Mo Chong's heart sank, and he immediately stopped his movements. At this moment, it can only be resigned to fate. But since you're a monk, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Isn't it...... Lao Zhang. Why are you dying here?" A low sigh came into Mo Chong's ears, and the voice was slightly familiar. Mo Chong's heart moved, he could already hear that it was Mu Zhenren who spoke. Listening to the tone of the Mujin people, it seems that they are not too surprised that someone will die here, is this expected?
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang. interrupted Mo Chong's thoughts, startling him. The arriving Mu Zhenren suddenly made a move, blasting out a huge dirt pit in the ground. Immediately afterward, the corpses were searched for their belongings and thrown into the pit one by one.
Mo Chong, who was hiding on the branches, didn't dare to move. At this moment, of course, Mo Chong had already understood that for the ancient ruins, the Barbarian Sect was obviously hiding something. Unfortunately, I happened to run into some of the secrets. If discovered, he might become one of the corpses in the pit. After all, so many people died, and Mu Zhenren definitely didn't care about killing one more of them.
The corpses on the ground were quickly thrown into the pit, and the traces of the fighting around them were also erased one by one. Buried the earth pit and covered it with snow, Mu Zhenren suddenly spoke: "You've been there for so long, you should show up, right?"
Mo Chong's heart sank when he heard this. Why!? I have already been discovered!?Is it that the Qi Clearing Technique is not good, or has the other party found some clues? No, now is not the time to think about this. Mo Chong gritted his teeth, flipped his palm, took out the green scoop worm, and held it in his hand. If Mu Zhenren wanted to kill him, he could only fight to the death.
"Hahaha! If I don't hide, won't I help clean up those dead bodies?" Before Mo Chong could jump down from the tree, a few loud laughs suddenly reached Mo Chong's ears. There's a third person here!?
I only heard Mu Zhenren say lightly: "You are not in charge of the Western Front, why did you come here? You walked away, what should the team over there do?"
The visitor replied, "Everything is normal on my side, although I have lost a few men, but I have already completed the 'Ice and Snow Road' and reached the entrance of the 'Lava Road'." Because I didn't see Lao Zhang, I followed his mark to take a look, but I didn't expect ......"
Mu Zhenren said: "Oh!?Your side is going well? Then let's set up more obstacles on this route and force people to the western front." I don't know what the route here is, even Lao Zhang has fallen here, but he can't go any further. ”
Humane: "This is easy. However, aren't you interested in investigating what kind of monster Lao Zhang encountered?
Mu Zhenren shook his head and said, "I'm not interested." Compared to the treasures in the ruins, what can the things in the Ice and Fire Dao be worthy?But just in case, the five people who are responsible for opening the Five Elements Altar will be secretly protected by a few of us old guys. If they die before they reach the Altar of the Five Elements, then they will be in trouble. ”
It would be nice to open the way for them, but what else should they secretly protect? ”
Mu Zhenren said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense. It was not easy for the five of them to come by this time, especially the kid who was responsible for casting the fire-based spell, and he was lucky enough to find it. If they die again, they will have to wait at least another two or three years to enter the ruins. ”
Human: "Okay, okay. I'll go. I'm in charge of the kid I happened to find who was in charge of casting fire spells. ”
Mu Zhenren smiled: "You are in charge of him? This kid has a late stage of cultivation, and his divine sense is also very powerful. In order not to make him suspicious, we didn't have any tracking marks on him. ”
Human: "So trouble......some?
Mu Zhenren interrupted: "Why do you regret it, you are responsible for him, and we are responsible for the others." After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to say more, he escaped together and broke through the air.
The aura of the wooden real people has been gone for a long time. However, Mo Chong, the breath of the other person, was never sensed, so he still didn't dare to move. At this time, Mo Chong finally understood why the disciples in the sect all said that the Ice and Fire Dao was not dangerous, and they were willing to go. It turned out that the so-called non-danger of the Ice and Fire Road was that someone had opened the way in advance and cleared the obstacles. The so-called handless loss is only because the people who lost it are not aware of it.
After another half a day, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Mo Chong estimated that most of the monks who had spoken to Mu Zhen before had already left, so he jumped down from the tree.
Sure enough, there was no one around. Mo Chong glanced around, and then rushed away in the direction where Mu Zhenren had left. (To be continued.) )
