A string of bubbles appeared on the dark water, and a strange thing slowly floated on the surface.
Why is it a thing? Because this person's appearance is really indescribable. It's like cutting off the lower body of a person and then connecting the upper body of another person. The accumulation is like three or four layers of a reptile. The monster's face was just a pile of rotten flesh, with only a big mouth.
Seeing the monster rising little by little, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning and felt chills in their hearts. This kind of monster should never exist in this world.
Soon, ripples appeared in other parts of the water, and monsters floated up one by one. Some are just like the monsters before, and some are completely opposite. The entire body is made up of seven or eight legs, with a head in the middle.
Such monsters that can only appear in nightmares are now alive in front of everyone.
"Where have we come? This is hell." Sha Chu murmured with a sad face.
Suddenly, a monster tried to climb onto the bridge. A crow soldier next to him slashed it with his sword, and the monster fell into the water with a splash. The water of the lake vibrated, forming circles of ripples, but like a horn, many monsters woke up and swam towards the bridge silently with their mouths open.
Strangely enough, these monsters obviously didn't make any sound, but as soon as they got closer, a burst of murmurs rang out in everyone's minds.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and an inexplicable emotion emerged, including killing, violence, and chaos. The crowd became restless. Some people tightly covered their heads, and some couldn't bear it and waved weapons around randomly.
Seeing this situation, Wu Gen wanted to run towards the exit, but with so many people blocked behind him, he had no choice but to turn around and run towards the island. Some people who were still somewhat sane also reacted, endured the discomfort, and ran towards the island.
As everyone ran, the originally slow-moving monster became active and accelerated towards the bridge. The weapon struck the monster, but its slimy body was quite weak. Even if a section of the body is cut off, the monster will have no effect. The severed limbs fell into the water and were snatched away by other monsters, either swallowed in one bite or placed on their own bodies.
The stranger with the long tongue in Zhao Ling's team pierced the monster's body with one palm, but he soon howled. The monster's juice stuck to the hand, and black smoke rose from the palm, shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A monster grabbed the long-tongued stranger and dragged him into the water alive. The man kept struggling, and his long tongue even popped out, entangled the rope bridge, and refused to let go. Seeing that the rope was about to be broken by him, Zhao Ling grabbed the knife of the person next to him and chopped it off without mercy. The long tongue was chopped off. break.
Without support, the long-tongued stranger was pulled into the water, made a few bubbles and then disappeared.
Along the way, people kept falling. The monsters followed the footsteps of everyone and climbed towards the bridge one by one to chase after them. The huge stone bridge was covered with these ghost things.
Wu Gen ran first. There was no monster in front of him and he ran to the island smoothly. Putting down Chu Ji, he reached out and took off the bow and arrow, and shot at the monster on the bridge, covering the rest of the people's run.
The old man holding the flag shook his hand, and the flames flew towards the monster clinging to the bridge. The fire fell on its body, and the monster was stunned for a moment, and then swallowed the flames. When the nearby monsters saw this, they seemed to have smelled the beauty and came over to snatch it.
"Oh no, spells are useless against these things." A layer of cold sweat broke out on the old man's forehead. These monsters were quite interested in spells containing spiritual energy.
Wu Gen saw clearly from the shore and waved his hand, "Hit back to attract the monster's attention."
The old man immediately understood what Wu Gen meant. The fireballs flew towards the bridge far away from everyone one after another, and a raging fire broke out on the stone bridge. The monsters became more excited and rushed toward the flames.
The pressure on the people on the bridge suddenly decreased, and they took advantage of the opportunity to rush towards the shore.
Wu Gen stood by the bridge to respond to everyone. At this time, there was no longer any distinction between friend and foe. When they came to the bridge, Zhao Ling was running weak, and his body tilted and fell into the lake. Wu Gen, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him by the waist and threw him to the shore.
Just as Zhao Ling wanted to say thanks, Wu Gen turned around and rushed onto the bridge. It turned out that the flames were quickly swallowed up by the monster, and then turned around and chased everyone. Sha Chu and Zhang Yuan were at the end, with monsters in front of them and behind them.
Wu Gen waved his broken knife repeatedly, and Tianluo slashed out in waves, finally cutting a gap. "Let's go." The three of them supported each other and ran along the bridge, narrowly reaching the shore.
Sitting on the ashes on the shore, Wu Gen gasped for air. Zhang Yuan patted his head and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you, it's unnecessary." Wu Gen said angrily, but was startled when he saw Yun Ming reaching out and handing over a bottle of wine.
"Respect the brave man." Yun Ming only said one sentence, then turned and left, counting the remaining crow soldiers in his team.
Wu Gen took a sip, it was good wine, but he saw Zhao Ling coming over with Chu Ji in his arms. Just when the other party was about to speak, Wu Gen knew what he meant and just said: "Don't forget your promise."
"That's natural." Zhao Ling smiled at Yan Yan.
The monsters arrived at the shore, but they did not dare to go ashore. They could not feel the movement of the people, so they retreated back into the water.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at the situation on the island.
Going up from the shore, there is no buffer, and a huge mountain rises into the sky. Along the dilapidated mountain road, rows of houses are scattered.
If the mountain at this time were not completely covered with dust, with broken walls and ruins, and were accompanied by strange flowers and trees, it would be like a fairyland. It can be seen that the Wentian Sect was quite prosperous at the beginning, but as time passed, it fell to such a state.
After collecting their thoughts, everyone walked up the mountain road. Everywhere they went, they were plundering on both sides like bandits. It is a pity that this place has been abandoned for a long time, and many houses collapsed with a little effort.
Some places where elixirs and magical instruments were obviously stored were the focus of everyone's search. But when they opened them, they found that the elixirs had long since disappeared and turned into pieces of white ash. There are some utensils, but they have lost their spirituality and are not as useful as earthly swords.
Halfway there, Wu Gen looked bored and watched everyone busy, having fun with Chu Ji. Anyway, the things they collected had nothing to do with them, so Zhao Ling and Yun Ming's eyes widened, and there was no room for others to keep it secret.
Suddenly, Chu Ji stared at the empty space aside and stretched out his little hand as if to poke something. Wu Gen's heart tightened, he held Chu Ji in his arms, and looked around nervously.
"That person seems to be very angry." Chu Ji still pointed at that place, his big eyes flashing. Wu Gen's heart tightened even more, and he lamented, "No, what the hell is going on."
At this moment, Wu Gen's vision went dark, and there was a ticking sound in his heart, like a drop of water falling into a lake. When the ripples started, a vague human figure appeared in his mind. The human form is constantly changing, and there is a faint light all around. Looking back at myself, I am just a ball of flame that keeps beating.
Finally, the human form became clearer, but it looked like a middle-aged man, with a distorted face and weird twisting of the body back and forth. There is a saying in the Art of Overcoming Delusion that this is an evil spirit invading the soul.
The figure of the middle-aged man suddenly grew larger and smaller, and a chaotic consciousness came, as if dozens or hundreds of people spoke at the same time, making Wu Gen a little upset.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's body suddenly grew larger, his face showed a ferocious look, and he rushed towards Wu Gen. People in the world often say that when the soul dies, the Tao disappears. If the soul is extinguished by it, I am afraid that I will have to answer here today.
At this time, Wu Gen suddenly thanked Xianjiang. If he hadn't forcefully bought and sold some of his tricks, he would have died if he suddenly encountered such a situation today.
In his mind, the evil spirit was about to devour Wu Gen. But with a sudden movement, Wu Gen's soul burst into flames. In the flames, a huge figure resembling Wu Gen appeared, firmly blocking the invasion of evil spirits.
Looking at his monstrous flames, Wu Gen was quite satisfied. As Xian Jiang said, his soul was growing strong. Although the opponent is powerful, his light is still looming.
No matter how strong the middle-aged man was in life, he is exhausted at this time.
The evil spirit was knocked out and flew out. Looking at the flames that were burning in the sky and the earth, he just lost his mind. His instinct told him that he couldn't afford to offend the other party, so he turned around and dispersed.
What are you doing? What kind of place do I think this is? It's a pit. I can come and leave whenever I want.
Wu Gen was unhappy in his heart. According to the Jue of Duwang, the huge flames twisted, and five long tongues of fire flew out, turning into a huge cage, trapping the evil spirits in it.
The evil spirit in the cage rushed left and right, but could not escape, and its body became smaller and smaller.
Wu Gen's huge figure approached the cage. The evil spirit shivered in fear and spun its head in a circle. The original appearance of a middle-aged man disappeared and turned into the appearance of a young woman. She looked at Wu Gen pitifully.
"How dare you seduce the leader of this village like Zhao Ling and ask for a beating." Wu Gen snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and the cage shrank a lot. The woman screamed, her head kept spinning, and her face changed every time she turned. One moment she turned into a child, and the next she turned into an old man.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Gen finally understood that this evil spirit, no, it should be said to be these evil spirits. In fact, it was a powerful evil spirit that devoured other weak ones of its kind, and it turned into such a monster. No wonder the initial impression given to people is that of chaos.
Wu Gen further tightened the cage, and these faces disappeared one after another, leaving only the appearance of the middle-aged man. Putting a hand on its head, the information transmitted was very confusing. The most common message was the word "spiritual energy", which shows that this evil spirit has such a deep obsession with spiritual energy.
After a while, Wu Gen tightened his hand, and the evil spirit turned into nothing and disappeared. From these disorganized information, Wu Gen learned that the Wentian Sect died due to the invasion of dark fog, the spiritual energy disappeared, and the entire sect could no longer practice.
A small number of low-level people fled, while others could only use spiritual jade as figurines and hide in them, waiting for the spiritual energy to revive again. It's just that after this wait, I don't know how many years, when the spirit of Lingyu is gone, these people will also disappear in the dust of history.
It’s not like Wentian Sect has never explored the method of using Huiwu to cultivate, and also created a secret book called Yin Yang He Shen Dharma Essentials, but it was just not very successful, so it was discarded and ignored.
But Wu Gen attaches great importance to this. Even if he doesn't practice, the garrison disciples can still have a way to practice.
They have been exposed to the fog for many years, and a small amount of the fog enters the body. As long as they have appropriate assistance, there will be no problem. What Wentianzong couldn't do back then has changed with time, and that doesn't mean it can't be done now.
Withdrawing his mind, Wu Gen looked at the busy crowd around him. Suddenly, his heart tightened. It would be fine if there was only one evil spirit. Before coming in, Chu Ji said that there were many evil spirits active here. If those who went out to search were attacked, it was not like they had the means to defend themselves.
Thinking of this, Wu Gen hurriedly found Zhao Ling and Yun Ming, "There are evil spirits here, please ask people to evacuate quickly."
The two looked at Wu Gen strangely, and Zhao Ling said: "The flag has not moved yet, how do you know it." Wu Gen was a little anxious, so he had to say that Chu Ji had seen it.
Zhao Ling bent down and asked softly: "Chu Ji, did you see something strange? Where is it?"
When Chu Ji heard this, he turned around and looked around, pointed to the distance and said, "There is a weird-looking person there."
Zhao Ling turned around and motioned to the old man. The old man walked over holding a flag as Chu Ji pointed. After just a dozen steps, the flag in his hand automatically made a clattering sound.
The old man's face turned pale, "My lord, there is something really around."
The cloth flag shook more and more fiercely. After a while, a spark appeared on it, burning a big hole in the flag. It took a long time before it returned to silence.
"Tell people to evacuate first." Zhao Ling hurriedly said to Xiang Qi.
Just as Xiang Qi was about to start, he saw a heavy rider staggering out not far away, as if he was drunk.
