In the bamboo forest late at night, Zi Mo was boastful, and his praise for the Taoist priest was almost heavenly.

Xiu Yu paused for a long time, and couldn't interject for a while, and finally found an opportunity to signal the two of them to enter the house.

In the bamboo house, the Taoist priest took a sip of tea and said: "Rumors are rumors after all, this time this Dao went down the mountain, that is, I heard that the villages and towns in this area were killed by demons, and this incident was more serious, so I hurried over." ”

Xiu Yu frowned, "But the phantom?"

The Taoist priest glanced at him, and Zi Mo hurriedly introduced: "This is my friend, named Xiuyu, who has experienced the pursuit of the phantom with me. ”

The Taoist priest just hummed and didn't ask more, and during the conversation just now, he knew the name of this girl, and he continued:

"Phantoms indeed, and not ordinary phantoms—"

Xiu Yu and the others looked puzzled, and they saw that the seven-step Taoist looked solemn.

"This phantom is very cunning, with a very keen sense of smell, I once began to hunt it down in a village or town, but every time he escaped repeatedly, and along the way, its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and ordinary sixth-order masters are not its opponents. ”

Zi Mo and Xiu Yu glanced at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it didn't go head-to-head with the Phantom.

The Taoist priest continued: "I searched for its traces all the way, and finally I found its trace, but when I was about to catch the turtle in the urn, it did not appear until I came to this area and found a large number of creatures dying tragically, and I knew that the phantom had already spoken of this place. ”

Zi Mo's eyebrows groaned softly, her jade onion-like fingers shining on the table, and she was carefully recovering the words of the taster.

It seems that the Taoist priest has been chasing and killing the Phantom a long time ago.

She asked, "I wonder if the Immortal Family will take action next?"

The Taoist priest pecked a sip of tea, clicked twice in his mouth, shook his head and said: "This phantom is very weird, not like a traditional phantom in the present world, its intelligence is almost comparable to a terrifying phantom at the peak of adulthood, it is difficult to catch its traces......"

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest's eyebrows not only curled: "I still met some fleeing villagers on the road to inquire, and I probably knew its traces - I traced it all the way, although I found a lair suspected of being a phantom, but after squatting for several days, I couldn't find its clothes, but I passed by here today to see its true face." ”

Zi Mo said happily: "Dare to ask the immortal family, since we know about the phantom's lair, why don't we go to the lair and continue to squat until the phantom goes back?"

Xiu Yu saw that a look of embarrassment appeared on the Taoist priest's face.

"It's good to be squatting, but this phantom is very cunning, it can smell the scent of living beings, and in some way, it can roughly drive away calamity, whenever it smells the slightest danger, it will not stay for long, on the contrary, it will flee farther away, slowly eating away at living creatures - this is the most strange and difficult point of this phantom. ”

Xiu Yu continued: "According to this, isn't it impossible for the phantom to be killed, then I'm afraid that more innocent people will inevitably die!"

The Taoist priest did not refute, he has been chasing the phantom all the way in the past few days, and he knows the cunning and difficulty of the phantom.

He thought for a long time, and said with a heavy brow: "Actually, it's not that there is no solution... It's just that the process is a little dangerous......"

"Immortal family, please speak!" Zi Mo hurriedly said.

"As far as I can see, a large part of the reason why the phantom is ghostly is actually due to the fog. It is almost integrated with the mist, and can smell the breath of living beings through the spread of the mist, and at the same time, it can also make itself ubiquitous through the mist, and its body is almost impossible to find. ”

"I'm guessing that this phantom was born of the bad luck of a dead place somewhere, which is why this fog is accompanied. ”

Xiu Yu asked, "So, as long as the phantom's fog problem is solved, then the phantom will have nowhere to escape?"

Xiuyu, who originally thought it was this result, heard Zi Mo's uncertain voice.

"The Phantom is a murderous creature, and its power is probably not as simple as a single mist, otherwise it would not have caused a bloody storm in the distant past. ”

The Taoist priest nodded and said: "That's right, the phantom is indeed one of the most dangerous and treacherous spirits in history, many ancient books record the deeds of the phantom, but most of them are about the phantom almost growing to the peak, and even causing a great destruction in the world, but few record the phantom's ability." ”

Speaking of the Phantom's ability, the Taoist priest's voice couldn't help but lower a little: "Its most terrifying ability is actually a terrible toxin-"

Toxin?

Zi Mo looked puzzled, he and Xiu Yu looked at each other, the phantom had the ability to toxin, she really didn't know.

The Taoist priest said solemnly: "This is a very terrifying ability, almost related to whether it can be completely killed - this toxin is very weird, it is irreversible assimilation, to put it bluntly, if you are accidentally injured by its toxin in the process of working with the phantom, then in a short period of time, it will become the same existence as it." ”

A brief silence in the bamboo house!

Xiu Yu was shocked in his heart, but Zi Mo was incredible, and he lost his voice in disbelief:

"This is impossible! If that is the case, doesn't it mean that there will be countless phantoms in the world?

"It's totally unrealistic!"

Xiu Yu also felt that it was impossible, if the phantom was so powerful, the world would have become a phantom long ago.

The Taoist priest booed, "This is the only one. ”

"A phantom only has the ability to trigger toxin once, which can basically be said to be an alternative parasite, and only a dying phantom will choose to use this self-immolation method in exchange for a new life. ”

"In other words, if the Phantom senses that he is about to be killed, he will try to put the only poison on a person, so that this person will gradually lose his mind and eventually be assimilated into another Phantom?" Xiu Yu asked.

The Taoist priest nodded, "That's right." So, this is one of the keys to whether or not you can kill the Phantom completely. ”

Zi Mo fell silent, and Xiu Yu also fell into deep thought.

The Taoist priest just drank tea and didn't disturb the thoughts of the two.

In fact, he had already seen that the two had already fought the Phantom and were wounded, and both of them wanted to kill the Phantom.

Xiu Yu and Zi Mo glanced at each other, and they both saw the concerns in their hearts.

After a long time, Zi Mo still spoke: "Since the Immortal family knows so much about the Phantom, and pointed out the matter of the mist, and the Phantom Toxin is even more detailed, is there a way to deal with the Phantom?"

Xiu Yu's eyes fell on the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was rarely silent for a while, he looked directly at the two of them, and said, "Let's be honest, I just thought of a way-"

"What is the way for the immortal family to say it directly, there is no need to scruple about anything, to kill this kind of murderous thing that kills living beings, as a person who refines qi, it must be incumbent on us!"

Zi Mo was blunt and spoke heartily.

Xiu Yu also nodded again and again.

The Taoist priest praised it, and then said directly: "The fog is easy to solve, I have brought with me a talisman to purify the evil cult, which can temporarily eliminate the fog and make it appear in its original form." However, the Phantom must suck the essence blood every once in a while, and it is estimated that all the creatures in this radius will be hunted and killed by the Phantom, and it may be very difficult to lure the Phantom out. ”

"The Phantom is very cunning, I'm afraid that after a while, it will migrate to other places and continue to kill living beings, and it will be even more difficult to find ...... when the time comes."

Zi Mo's eyes flickered, and he thought a lot for a while.

"The immortal family is saying that they need bait to lure the phantom to take the bait?"

The Taoist priest nodded noncommittally.

After another deep groan, Zi Mo spoke again: "Can the Immortal Family guarantee to kill the Phantom?"

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest immediately patted his chest and said confidently: "The phantom is certainly dangerous, but I am a cultivator far beyond the Qi refining level, this time it was troubled by its unexpected fog that allowed it to escape, next time as long as it appears in front of my eyes, I will definitely blast it to ashes with a lightning speed!"

Zi Mo nodded again, looked at Xiu Yu, and the two agreed.

Zi Mo opened his mouth and said, "If the Immortal Family can guarantee the safety of the two of us, we are willing to act as bait to force the Phantom to appear!"

Xiu Yu arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the Immortal Family to do their best to let this kind of murderous spirit that kills human lives extinct the world!"

The Taoist priest nodded happily and agreed.

To be honest, the method of decoy was also improvised by him. The Phantom has memorized his scent, and it will be difficult to hunt it down in the future, and it will be even more difficult to find the Phantom's trail if he gets out of this area.

The creatures in this area are almost dead, and even the people who escape must not be able to hide from the ghost claws, I am afraid that the creatures in a radius of thousands of miles have become its rations, and I am afraid that only this opportunity can attract the phantom to appear.

Now that there are two living people alive in this area, one of whom is still a Qi Refiner, it is not impossible to trap the Phantom.

The Taoist priest sat alone in the bamboo house, although he said it categorically, but there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows, in fact, he said something slowly, and he didn't say it explicitly for a while.

Xiu Yu was pulled out by Zi Mo and looked at him with a solemn face.

"You have no cultivation, you are assisting the Seven Steps Dao people on the side, and I will act as a bait to let that phantom appear!"

Xiu Yu smiled and laughed at himself: "Hmm, do you look down on me? How can you let a woman do this kind of thing-besides, your injuries are not healed, if you meet the phantom, I'm afraid even if you use the secret method again, it will be in vain." ”

Zi Mo said again: "You are an ordinary person, I'm afraid that you will be torn to pieces by the phantom in the face, don't give away people's lives in vain, let me go, you are too weak, no!"

Too weak?

Xiuyu's eyebrows jumped slightly, "Could it be that I, a man with strong blood, am not as good as you as a woman?"

"Maybe the Phantom doesn't look down on you, maybe my blood is more attractive to it!"

Zi Mo said anxiously: "You are just an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will not even have a chance to resist when you meet the phantom...... You can't joke with your own life, if you haven't survived the attack of the seven-step Dao people, the phantom will tear you apart and run away, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water for nothing, lose your wife and break your soldiers!"

"You..."

The two got into an argument.

Xiu Yu frowned and fell silent.

I only heard Zi Mo continue: "You and I both know that the phantom is fast and fast, and it can harvest a human life in an instant, although my realm has fallen, but at least I still have a cultivation body, and I can still resist one or two, but you have to think clearly, you are just an ordinary person at the moment, if you act as a bait, I am afraid it will backfire!"

"If you go, you will become a burden......"

Encumbrance... Xiu Yu actually wanted to say that it was okay for the two of them to be bait. It's just that considering the words of the two people, the goals are inconsistent, and it is difficult to capture the phantom's movements, if the phantom waits for the opportunity to move, for the Seven Steps Dao people, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the person and kill the phantom, I am afraid it will increase the difficulty.

The sky gradually became hazy, and seeing that it was about to dawn, Xiu Yu thought for a long time, and finally walked into the bamboo house in silence.

Zi Mo's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to think.

She knew that what she said was a little hurtful, and she emphasized again and again that Xiu Yu was just an ordinary person, and it would inevitably hurt people's will, but this was the case, he saved her life, in order to repay the favor, and in order to allow the Taoist priest to kill the phantom smoothly, she had to say this.

I heard from the people of the Seven Steps Dao that the creatures in this area are almost dead, and both of them survived because of luck, and if they don't kill the Phantom as soon as possible, the Phantom Catastrophe of such a long time ago may come soon.

The sky turned white, and the Taoist priest walked out of the bamboo house.
