In the endless wilderness, Tang Zhen flew towards the Holy Dragon City. During this period, some low-level monsters trying to attack were killed by him with his sword.
Now that Tang Zhen's cultivation level has been promoted to level four, it can be said that it is effortless to kill some low-level monsters. However, killing such monsters will not help his improvement in cultivation level. Therefore, unless those monsters are seeking death, Tang Zhen Zhen didn't even bother to pay attention.
Suddenly there was a sound of weapons clashing from the front. Tang Zhen immediately stopped and took out his telescope to look in the direction of the sound. After a while, Tang Zhen put down the telescope and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. , immediately went straight to the scene of the battle.
On the gravel plain, two teams of men and horses were fighting back and forth. From time to time, someone would be injured by the sword, blood spattered, and screams could be heard endlessly.
One of the groups was very familiar to Tang Zhen. It was a team of monks from Black Rock City. There were more than thirty people in total. They were dressed in uniform clothes and holding swords in their hands. They formed a battle formation and looked very orderly when facing the enemy.
The appearance of the other group of people looked a bit scary and weird.
There were fifty or sixty of these people, far more than the number of monks in Black Rock City. They all wore thick black leather armor sewn like crocodile skin, and most of their weapons were long and broad swords, and some The black-armored monk uses a three-meter-long red bone spear.
Looking at the unified equipment and weapons of these people, it was obvious that they belonged to an organized force, but for some reason they had a conflict with the monks in Black Rock City, so that their swords were directed at each other.
What interested Tang Zhen was that the faces of these black-armored monks had been extremely deformed from the nose up, looking like ferocious evil spirits. But taking a closer look, Tang Zhen found that the faces of these monks were actually covered with a kind of weird bugs. They wrapped the upper half of the monks' heads and faces, and more than a dozen tentacles penetrated deeply into the monks' suns and jade. There are acupuncture points such as Zhen and Baihui, and there are two half-foot-long tentacles in front of the forehead that tremble from time to time.
Whenever these monks are excited, the tentacles of the face masking insects will tremble violently, and whenever these monks are in danger or at the critical moment of death, the face masking insects will turn red again, and then the monks will appear like Immediately his strength increased sharply, and his whole body seemed to be going crazy. Even if he was stabbed with a sword, he was completely unconscious, which looked quite terrifying.
Tang Zhen then saw a monk who had turned into a scarlet face, dragging his intestines and internal organs all over the floor, and desperately biting the calf of a Black Rock City monk. Even if his head was cut off with a sword, he still remained. He kept biting it until the redness on his face faded, and the monk died completely.
The monster detector locked onto this weird face-dressing insect, but did not get any information, which means that the face-dressing insect is not a monster, but just a strange insect.
Faced with this group of crazy monks possessing face-dressing insects, even though Black Rock City's monk team was strong and well coordinated, five of them were still killed. As for the face-dressing insect monks, there were more than a dozen corpses lying in the wild.
Moving his eyes away from the face-mask monk, Tang Zhen looked at the Black Rock City monk team. To be precise, it was a young man in the monk team, because this person was Xiao Rui, the young man who had a secret deal with Tang Zhen.
It was with the information provided by the young man that Tang Zhen was able to clear out the treasure room in Black Rock City. He didn't expect to meet him again here today.
It's just that at this time, Xiao Rui has been promoted to a third-level monk, and among this group of Black Rock City monks, he can be regarded as one of the ones with higher cultivation levels.
The young man Xiaorui's senses were very sensitive. When Tang Zhen observed him, he also felt Tang Zhen's gaze. He turned his head and glanced at Tang Zhen, then pretended not to recognize Tang Zhen and continued to swing his sword with those people. The monks fight against the masked insect.
In fact, since Tang Zhen appeared near the battlefield, people from both sides had already discovered his presence, but no one acted rashly. After all, Tang Zhen's strength has reached level four at this time, and his aura of cultivation is very obvious. The two sides fighting can't figure out his purpose. Since he is just watching and not taking action, no one will ask for trouble. he.
The leader of the monks of the Face Masking Insect and the leader of the Black Rock City monks are both at the fourth level of cultivation. The two are fighting inextricably at the moment. Due to the strange ability of the Face Masking Insect, the combat power of the black armored monk leader is obviously higher. .
The monk leaders of Black Rock City were at a disadvantage and were worried about how to get out of this situation. When they saw Tang Zhen, they felt happy and immediately shouted loudly: "Friend, we are monks of Black Rock City. Please help kill these insect thieves. Yancheng will be grateful!"
After the monk leader of Black Rock City yelled out the words, the face-dressing insect monks whom he called insect thieves immediately turned their wary eyes to Tang Zhen, and some monks even leaned closer to prevent him from making a sudden move.
Tang Zhen sneered when he saw this, and was very disdainful of the actions of the leader of Black Rock City. He thought that just by saying this sentence, he wanted to drag himself into trouble, but that was too naive.
Black Rock City was considered his enemy, so how could he help them? However, the young man named Xiao Rui was still useful, but he could not be allowed to suffer here.
On the contrary, the word "insect thief" on the collar of the monks in Black Rock City reminded Tang Zhen of some wilderness forces that Qianlong had introduced to him, including an introduction to this insect thief.
It is said that before the insect thieves became famous, they were a group of ordinary wandering wild cultivators. When they were exploring a strange wild building, they discovered some strange bugs. Some of these bugs were like scorpions and could be attached to the arms. The mind controls the spraying of a hard poisonous stinger, and some bugs can change limbs, turning human arms into bone knives, or growing countless tentacles.
In addition, there are many bugs with strange functions. The bug thieves keep it secret. Except for their own people, all outsiders who have seen it have turned into withered bones.
The insect thief has the largest number of bugs, and it is this kind of face-applying insect that covers the face and can greatly increase the user's strength. However, the side effects of using this kind of facial-applying insect are very serious, and it will not take more than ten years. It has entered a state of exhaustion, but the insect thief does not care. Each member will wear a face mask insect, which also makes the face mask insect the main symbol of the insect thief.
Relying on these weird bugs, the bug thieves quickly emerged in the nearby area and became one of the major forces that the wanderers were extremely afraid of. They would not easily provoke them.
I just don’t know what happened to the insect thieves this time, and they dared to provoke Black Rock City, the overlord of this area. Aren’t they afraid of Black Rock City’s revenge?
After Tang Zhen thought of this, he took a deep look at the leader of the insect thieves. Perhaps these guys, who were neither humans nor ghosts, had become pawns of certain forces.
Thinking about it, this sudden explosion of the corpse clan has left Black Rock City in a state of distress, and its own strength has also been greatly damaged. At this time, some organizations that are greedy for Black Rock City's territory will take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury. It is not impossible. .
If he intervenes rashly, no matter which party he helps, he will cause trouble for himself. Thinking of this, Tang Zhen decided to sit on the sidelines and wait until the two sides decide the outcome before making other plans.
Seeing that Tang Zhen was not moving, the two warring parties thought that he did not want to wade into this muddy water. After all, the two warring parties were two groups of well-known forces nearby. No matter how high Tang Zhen's cultivation was, he was just a lone ranger and could offend anyone. He drank a pot.
After thinking of this, the two groups stopped paying attention to Tang Zhen and continued to fight.
It's a pity that Tang Zhen doesn't know what these people are thinking, otherwise he will definitely smile with disdain. If he takes action, with his current level four cultivation and the weapons in the storage space, these monks at the scene, I am afraid that more than half of them will die in his hands, and the remaining half will be difficult to please.
Just as Tang Zhen was watching the battle with his arms folded, a long roar came faintly in the distance. The monk leader of Black Rock City looked happy, but the expression of the insect thief leader changed!
