Under the tug of the huge hand, the leader of the Bamboo Shadow Gang and the Daoist disciple Yun Tianyang were the first to be pulled out of the illusion formation.
When the two of them came out of the battle, they both looked disheveled. It was obvious that they had just been doing some unspeakable things in the illusion.
It was good that the Bamboo Shadow Gang leader among the two was there, after all, not many people on the floating island would pay attention to him.
But Yun Tianyang is different.
"Here" seeing Yuntian Yang's disheveled clothes, Li Zhuo subconsciously looked at Yun Rusong with an embarrassed expression on his face.
The latter also turned his head away with a look of shame on his face.
"well,"
He sighed and remained speechless for a long time.
Seeing Yun Rusong stunned in mid-air, Li Zhuo didn't know what to say and just focused on controlling the huge palm.
The giant hand reached into the illusion formation and fished out the last Ju Rui and the president of the Dragon Head Association.
When Ju Rui came out of the battle, he was holding a wine pot in his left hand and a large piece of barbecue in his right hand.
He had a bulging belly, as if he had eaten too much, and he kept saying words like "good wine, keep drinking" from time to time.
Compared with Ju Rui, the leader of the Dragon Head Association was much more exaggerated when he came out of the formation.
He held a blade in each hand, and his body was covered in blood, as if he had just killed many people in an illusion.
The president of the Dragon Head Association who had just emerged from the formation had a crazy and twisted smile on his face, as if he had not yet woken up from the illusory formation.
He looked around.
Wherever he looked, all the monks subconsciously retreated, but Lei Lei still maintained his proud look and looked at him.
"Hey,"
Seeing that Lei Lei dared to look directly at him, the president of the Dragon Head Association rushed towards Lei Lei with his blade without saying a word.
"What do you want to do?"
At the critical moment, Lei Lei, who belatedly realized, used his escape method and turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot, narrowly escaping the fatal blow from the president of the Dragon Head Association.
The next second.
When Lei Lei appeared again, he couldn't help but spit out a large pool of blood from his mouth.
Obviously, the life-saving escape method he used just now has certain side effects. This escape method will cause certain damage to himself.
Lei Lei, who used his escape technique to save his life, looked at the president of the Dragon Head Association with hatred.
He was about to strike back, but he saw Li Zhuo, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly take action and point his finger at the president of the Dragon Head Association.
At the same time, he shouted: "Idiot, wake up quickly!"
With just one finger, the president of the Dragon Head Association fell to his knees as if struck by lightning, with a look of shock on his face.
Lean less.
After he reacted, he raised his fist and saluted Lei Lei, saying with an apology in his tone: "I'm sorry for making you laugh, Fellow Taoist Lei."
"fine."
Lei Ting was obviously seriously injured by the president of the Dragon Head Association, but when he saw the other party apologizing to him, he still forgave him unconsciously.
He raised his head as if it didn't matter, and showed a proud look on his face.
Seeing his attitude, the president of the Dragon Head Association praised him at the right time: "Fellow Daoist Lei is so generous!"
Lei Lei raised the corners of his mouth slightly but said nothing.
Now that all the monks were out of the formation, Li Zhuo ordered Cheng Huo, Ni Li, Boya Zhi, Lei Ting, Zhong Ran, and the great Buddhist monk Wu Ku, who had passed the illusory formation assessment, to open their chest clothes together.
Seeing that there was an extra tentacle mark on the chests of the six people, they said with satisfaction: "Okay! Not bad! This time, six of you actually passed the examination. With this, our country, Daliang, is expected to avoid the Western Conference this time." It’s a big disaster!”
Hearing this, Lei Lei couldn't help but say: "Senior Li, since we have obtained the 'Wooing' sequence, it is just around the corner to break through to the deep dive stage."
"Then can you tell me how the imperial court plans to prevent the catastrophe in the west? How should we, the monks who have obtained the 'sequence', cooperate?"
"Well," Li Zhuo thought for a while and said, "First of all, you need to know that not only are the indescribable creatures so powerful that humans cannot defeat them, but even the descendants they derived, those giant ferocious beasts, are also the same. It’s very difficult to deal with.”
"It doesn't mean that we will definitely not be able to defeat those monsters. It's just that if we want to kill them, we need to pay a considerable price."
"Everyone must know that even if we include the six of you who have just obtained the sequence, there will only be at most nine deep dive monks in our Daliang Kingdom in the future."
"In contrast, the number of giant ferocious beasts derived from 'Wu Si' may not necessarily reach dozens or even hundreds."
"So it's definitely unwise to fight those monsters head-on."
"So the only thing we can do during the deep dive period is to try our best to prevent them from being seen by the monks and people of Daliang Kingdom."
"Try to prevent them from being seen by others?" Li Zhuo's answer made Cheng Sheng confused: "What do you mean? Does it mean that as long as those giant ferocious beasts are covered up, the catastrophe of the West can be prevented from spreading to our Daliang country? "
"It's not wrong for you to understand it this way."
Li Zhuo explained: "Same as the 'Woo'. The giant ferocious beasts derived from the 'Woo' all regard us humans as ants, so they will not take the initiative to attack humans."
"The truly terrifying thing about giant ferocious beasts is that they can spread the pollution of 'whining'"
"This kind of pollution is called the 'power of flesh and blood' by us monks!"
"People polluted by the 'power of flesh and blood' will have amplified desires in their hearts. These desires include six types: jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust."
"People whose desires are amplified will not go crazy, let alone die. They will even become stronger because they have the power of flesh and blood."
"So pollution itself is not something to be afraid of."
"The truly terrifying thing about the 'power of flesh and blood' is that it can conflict with the 'power of pain' of the 'Buddha'"
"I don't think I need to say more. You all know in your heart: desire and pain are two completely opposite emotions."
"Like water and fire, light and darkness, good and evil."
"So these two forces are incompatible in the human body."
Floating island.
Listening to Li Zhuo's explanation, Ni Lihu, who was born in Yin Sijian, retorted: "But the problem is that although the 'power of flesh and blood' and the 'power of pain' will indeed conflict in the monk's body, this conflict will It’s not that there’s no way to resolve it.”
"As we all know: monks who are contaminated by the 'power of flesh and blood' and are in conflict with the 'power of pain' in their bodies can alleviate the mutation and harm to a certain extent by simply going to places such as Yinsijian or using secret techniques to suppress them. All kinds of negative impacts.”
After an analysis, Ni Li continued: "So from this perspective, a giant ferocious beast that can spread pollution doesn't seem so scary, does it?"
"No, you're wrong."
Li Zhuo shook his head and said: "The 'power of flesh and blood' that is now spreading in our territory of Daliang is all left over from the ruins of the ancient immortals thousands of years ago."
"For example, the blood forest outside Ruyun City, or the temple that appeared in Yinsijian before."
"The pollution contained in these ruins is nothing compared to the giant ferocious beasts, and is not worth mentioning."
"The contaminated monks only have changes in appearance and are slightly mentally abnormal."
"But giant ferocious beasts are different."
"Not to mention facing them head-on, even if you just take a look at them from a distance, a large amount of 'flesh and blood power' will immediately grow in your body."
Li Zhuo described: "After looking directly at the giant beast, you will feel unspeakable horror and terror, and your heart will beat violently and uncontrollably."
"The flesh and blood all over your body seems to be on fire."
"In the next few days, you will still think of the ferocious beast you saw from time to time, and you will continue to feel terror, so you will be in panic all day long."
Li Zhuo recalled: "More than a hundred years ago, I was only in the middle stage of blood elixir cultivation. I still remember that at that time, countless giant ferocious beasts suddenly appeared in the west of Xingzhou, Daliang."
"At the beginning, we monks didn't know how powerful those ferocious beasts were, so we planned to attack them head-on. We even formed a team specifically to attack the ferocious beasts."
"But when we faced the ferocious beast head-on, we didn't even have time to take action. We just took a look at it from a distance, and everyone was immediately defeated, and their mental will completely collapsed."
Having said this, Li Zhuo looked towards Yun Rusong, who was not far away.
He continued: "At that time, Fellow Daoist Yun and I were far away from the giant beast, so we were lucky enough to survive."
"The rest of them either died suddenly on the spot in the catastrophe, or they couldn't bear the fear caused by the beast and committed suicide not long after escaping."
Li Zhuo finally said: "Now, do you still think those giant ferocious beasts are not scary?"
Just one look at it can cause people to be dominated by fear, fall into madness and commit suicide, or even die suddenly on the spot.
Such a terrifying existence was completely beyond the awareness of all the monks present.
So for a moment, everyone showed a look of fear.
Chengshuo followed Li Zhuo's words and said, "So, what we monks who have obtained the sequence have to do is to 'hide' the ferocious beasts that have invaded our Daliang Kingdom after breaking through to the deep submergence stage?"
"Well, you can understand that."
Li Zhuo added: "And it is not only necessary to make the ferocious beasts invisible, but also to hide their voices and even their breath. Only in this way, the areas passed by the ferocious beasts, the mortals in them and low-level monks will not be affected."
Floating island.
After explaining the horror of the giant ferocious beast and how to deal with it, Li Zhuo waved his hand and summoned the flying boat he came out on.
"Let's go."
After everyone jumped on the flying boat, Li Zhuo also flew up.
He said to everyone on the flying boat: "There are still about five months until the great catastrophe in the west arrives."
"When I return to Bianjing City, I will mobilize all the resources in Daliang, and then I will do my best to train you guys to ensure that you can break through to the deep dive stage as soon as possible."
After that, he controlled the flying boat to leave from the floating island.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
"Woo~" The monks were riding in the flying boat when they suddenly heard a roar that resounded throughout the heaven and earth, resounding from the clouds high in the sky.
Li Zhuo was shocked when he heard this voice, and immediately put away the flying boat under his feet as if it was a conditioned reflex.
He spoke very quickly to Cheng Huo and others: "Quick, everyone spread out in different directions, and then stay still in the air and don't move!"
Seeing Li Zhuo's urgent tone, coupled with the hissing sound that just came from the clouds, it was indeed terrifying.
As a result, the monks did not ask any further questions, but hurriedly dispersed in the opposite direction.
When a monk reaches the embryo-building stage, he can control objects and fly.
When a monk reaches the blood elixir stage, he can levitate in the air without using any artifacts.
Therefore, standing still in mid-air is not a difficult task for cultivators in the blood elixir stage such as surviving.
in the air.
The moment everyone dispersed, a huge fog that was the size of a human city and looked like a jellyfish slowly floated over from the clouds.
This giant jellyfish-shaped thing has two extremely long tentacles trailing behind it.
I did a visual inspection:
This giant body, plus the two tentacles, is at least four to five kilometers long.
This giant jellyfish reminded Cheng Sheng of the giant whale he saw in the west of Xingzhou.
Same as the giant whale.
The neighing sound of the giant jellyfish is so quiet and distant that it shocks the heart.
Out of fear of this thing, and also in order not to be affected by this thing, Chengshuo turned his head and looked elsewhere after taking a look at it.
He also tried his best to think about other things.
Doing this can distract yourself so that you won't pay too much attention to the sound of the giant jellyfish.
Giant jellyfish don't swim very fast in the air.
time flies.
As the giant jellyfish got closer and closer to everyone, all the monks, including Cheng Shou, held their breath.
I'm just afraid that the sound of breathing will attract the attention of the jellyfish, which will lead to disaster.
A long period of time passed like this, until everyone in the sky could no longer hear the scream of the jellyfish, and Li Zhuofang summoned the flying boat again.
He said: "It's okay, everyone, please come on the flying boat."
When Chengshuo and others met Feizhou, they all had lingering fears on their faces, and they all had a hint of curiosity.
Li Zhuo explained: "What you just saw is also a ferocious beast derived from 'Wu Si'."
"The difference from the ferocious beasts in the West is that according to ancient records, these ferocious beasts have already appeared on the sea tens of millions of years ago."
Li Zhuo described: "If humans are compared to cattle and sheep kept in captivity by nameless creatures, then the giant jellyfish you just saw is a 'fence' used to limit the scope of our activities."
"The reason for their existence is to prevent monks and mortals from crossing the sea."
"Because of this, the ancient immortals used to call this type of ferocious beasts 'patrol messengers'. It means messengers patrolling forbidden lands."
"Any ship within the five-hundred-mile sea area will not be attacked by monks as long as they do not actively provoke these ferocious beasts."
"And if you enter a place outside the five hundred miles of sea without authorization, you will be madly pursued by these ferocious beasts."
"On the sea, in addition to the ferocious beasts derived from 'Wu Si', you can occasionally see ferocious beasts derived from 'Buddha'."
"And the closer you are to the five-hundred-mile sea boundary, the greater the chance of encountering a vicious beast."
So, is this the real reason why humans cannot set foot outside the five-hundred-mile sea area?
After hearing what Li Zhuo said, it would be like having some enlightenment about success.
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "So, if we fail to stop the catastrophe in the west and want to flee elsewhere, then the first problem we have to face is that they are being chased by these ferocious beasts?"
"good."
Li Zhuo nodded and said: "Furthermore, since the ferocious beasts fly in the sky, sailing by boat from the sea is much safer than flying directly with a weapon."
Li Zhuo's answer couldn't help but recall what the black shadow on the divine cauldron said when he was in retreat in the woods.
'The unspeakable creatures pay much less attention to the sea than to the land because there are few people on the sea. '
In addition, the giant ferocious beasts all fly in the sky.
So taking a boat to sea is really the safest choice when you are desperate.
