While Shen Mo was racing against time to improve his combat power, Waizui and other six evil cultivators also found out a lot of information about the trading of heavenly materials and earthly treasures within a small circle of powerful demons.
One day later, Waizui Xiexiu and others returned to the unknown hill one after another, and reported all the information they had learned to the "Ancestor Blood Demon"!
Shen Mo would not pin all sources of information on these Yaksha Dao disciples.
In addition to these six people, he also put the soul-splitting curse seal on ten ordinary evil cultivator soul generals, controlled them to explore the surroundings of Jinguang Ridge, relied on them to collect information, and exchanged intelligence with other evil cultivator monsters!
Shen Mo's decision not to send out the mutant demon soul general was due to his cautious nature...
Many powerful heavenly demons came from the Offshore Demon Cave and the Black Mountain Town Demon Cave to participate in the feast. It would be easy to attract their attention by sending out demon generals mixed with the aura of the demons.
Similarly, there were forty or fifty extraterrestrial demons who died at his hands, and they were all refined into ordinary soul generals.
He also issued a strict order to prohibit the more powerful demon souls in the banners from devouring them. At this time, none of them had condensed!
…
After listening to the reports from Waizui Xiexiu and others, as well as the findings from the ten soul generals' investigations, Shen Mo had a better understanding of the situation here.
At present, the demons who come to Jinguang Ridge to participate in the grand event can be roughly divided into three classes!
On the first level, there are naturally the big monsters of the fourth level and above such as Wanyan. They gather at the top of Jinguang Ridge. This area cannot be detected by the five senses, as if it is covered with a layer of fog.
As for the evil cultivators, there should be no evil cultivators in the Red Flame Territory who have condensed the Yuan Dan and become strong in the Yuan Dan realm.
Therefore, at the top of Jinguang Ridge, there are all extremely vicious extraterrestrial races that harm the immortals. Whether the initiator of the event is among them, except for the big demon on the top, no one else knows.
Shen Mo didn't want to deal with the big demons of this class, lest they find out their true nature and put himself in an extremely dangerous situation!
The second level is the spiritual sea realm evil cultivators and third-level extraterrestrial beings, and there are quite a few of them.
Because demons are cruel and murderous by nature, and have extremely strong desires, and evil cultivators cannot deal with each other very well, between evil cultivators and alien creatures, and between alien creatures and alien creatures.
Therefore, it is not very realistic to want them to coexist peacefully.
Even though there are top-notch monsters suppressing them, Jinguang Ridge and nearby mountains are still full of intrigues and bloody fights.
As a result, many local evil cultivators and foreign demons, like Shen Mo, found other hills to stay and connected with each other, forming intricate small circles.
There are not many stalls set up on the mountainside and foot of Jinguangling Mountain!
The target of Shen Mo's transaction is the evil cultivators of this class, especially those who are at the late third level or above. They have the ability to obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and are also suitable for Shen Mo to kill.
The lowest level is naturally Qi gathering realm evil cultivators like the Crooked Mouth evil cultivator, as well as second-level extraterrestrial beings.
They are the most numerous, but most of them can’t produce anything good.
If you have trading needs, there is no need to deliberately look for buyers and sellers, just set up a stall in Jinguangling!
Previously, Shen Mo's Pure Yang True Fire burned and killed the most demons of this class.
The body-forging realm evil cultivators and first-order extraterrestrial beings are not even qualified to come here to participate in the grand event; unless they are accompanied by a stronger person, otherwise they will be eaten alive by other monsters if they get closer to Jinguang Ridge!
After Shen Mo thought about it for a while, he controlled the soul general to generate a cloud of evil energy, rolled it up on his body, and flew towards the planned place.
The demons in the second level are also strong and weak. The peak of the third level and the early stage of the spiritual sea realm are not the same... Therefore, the first place Shen Mo went to was the "smoke monster" clan outside the territory. Several of them It is the landing place for the late third level and peak powerhouses.
The smoke monster, as the name suggests, is a strange existence that looks like smoke;
Before coming to Jinguang Ridge, Shen Mo had also killed a late third-order powerhouse from their clan!
But its shape was weird, so after breaking it apart, Shen Mo didn't get its body, and it didn't even refine its soul into a soul general.
This type of creature, whose shape is like a wisp of smoke, can change in many ways and transform into various living or dead creatures at will; when dealing with other creatures, they like to transform into the "beauties" of the opposite sex in the other tribe, so as to obtain a good sensory impression. .
But as long as you have dealt with them a few times, you will know how heartless and crazy this tribe is!
Their method of cultivation is to absorb the thoughts, emotions, and desires of other living beings. The purer and stronger their seven emotions and six desires become, the more they like it.
Therefore, the creatures of the smoke monster family like to torture and play with other creatures.
Not to mention human fairy customs, even demons with "pure desires" can play tricks on them if they fall into their hands.
Smoke monsters and monsters will "devil dye" and "swallow blood food" for the demons to strengthen their desires. They will carefully prepare suitable blood food for the demons, and then use various methods to arouse their desires and pull them repeatedly; or they will transform into The appearance of high-level demons, giving them a series of orders that go against the nature of demons, etc.!
Not to mention if a human cultivator falls into their hands, the smoke monsters and demons will try every means to arouse "joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and evil" in the monk's heart. The more extreme and strong these emotions are, the more powerful they can be. To strengthen itself more and more;
He will almost never stop until his tormented soul collapses and his consciousness is wiped out!
When Shen Mo came to Zhongzhou, the smoke monster he encountered turned a human town into a playground.
Tens of thousands of men, women, and children in the town were all manipulated by it, performing scenes of human tragedy and joy...
As ordinary people can imagine, things that can make people happy, angry, sad, pitiful, fearful, disgusting, and indulgent can all be seen in this small town!
Shen Mo relied on a firm Taoist heart and two divine soul arts, "Shen Soul Meditation Sutra" and "Great Sun Tathagata Heart Sutra", to resist the smoke monster's methods of playing with people's hearts and damaging souls, and finally defeated him. The body and soul like smoke were completely dispersed.
After the smoke monster was killed, many of the remaining men, women, and children in the town came to their senses, and thousands committed suicide on the spot!
If Shen Mo hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and used the soul spell to forcibly erase part of their soul memories, I'm afraid this town would have completely turned into a ghostland within a few days.
The evil of the smoke monster is evident!
According to the information obtained by Waizui Xiexiu, others and General Soul, there are three strong men from the smoke monster clan here, and the rest are the second-level clansmen who went to the banquet with them;
As for whether the fourth-level strong men in his clan have gone to Jinguang Ridge, it has not been known yet!
These three smoke monsters, one at the peak of the third level, and two at the late third level, together with dozens of second-level smoke monsters, are located in the valley dozens of miles northwest of Shen Mo;
At the same time, they spread the word that they would take out the treasures of heaven and earth inside and outside the territory and return them to all kinds of living beings.
