Chapter 735 Summoning Suzaku and encountering a sneak attack
Along the way, they encountered many demon camps, large and small, and even discovered the demon castle that the Shadow Killing Team had discovered before.
But the strange thing is that there are only some low-level demon soldiers left in these places, but there is no trace of the middle-to-high-level demon soldiers. Even the demon castle that is about to be built has been abandoned.
Abe Qingming's expression, which had always been confident of victory, became serious, "The demon leader of Wuyin Mountain is a ruthless character, and he is so courageous. Is he performing a sacrifice? Want to force a breakthrough to increase his strength and refine a demon artifact? Or cast forbidden spells?" After once again leading his army to defeat the stragglers composed of thousands of low-level demons, Ampei Qingming ordered to stop the march.
Along the way, the sensitive sense of smell gifted by the white fox blood allowed Ampei Qingming to smell the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air, which made him a little uneasy.
Finally, when the crusade arrived at a volcano, this uneasiness reached its peak.
Abe Qingming ordered the army to stop advancing and stood under the volcano, looking at the surrounding terrain.
I saw that this volcano was about two hundred meters high. From the crater at the top, large and small volcanic rocks and volcanic debris began to be distributed in a ring. Large areas of solidified magma formed layers of twisted roads leading to the crater. In the crater, thick smoke was still rising, and the sound of bursting magma and the light of fire could be faintly heard.
This is an active volcano and is probably the home of the Kirigakure Mountain Demon Legion.
In other words, any volcano occupied by demons, even an extinct volcano, will be forcibly transformed into an active volcano, because the environment most adapted to the demons living in the abyss demon world is the hot volcanic zone. Demons are not simply flesh-and-blood creatures, but half-energy, half-flesh creatures. The fire energy emitted by volcanoes in the material world is usually one of the sources of energy they absorb.
If the devil has any conspiracy or ambush, this is the most likely place to choose.
Need to explore the situation.
Abe Qingming did not go there rashly relying on his strength, but instead chanted a spell and used the shikigami summoning technique.
As the crimson summoning spell spontaneously ignited without fire, the rich fire-attribute spiritual power in the surrounding environment quickly concentrated towards a point, causing a huge fireball to appear in the air. Then, with a crisp phoenix cry, a divine bird with a wingspan of ten feet and flames swirling around its body appeared in the sky like a phoenix.
The alchemy points are transformed, the blue thunder is flowing, the five colors are strange, and the six sacred phenomena are. Judging from their strength and momentum, there is no need to amp up Qingming.
This is one of the most powerful four-spirit star shikigami among the twelve shikigami in Abe Qingming's hands, Suzaku!
Of course, there is no longer a pure-bred Suzaku beast in the world. This Suzaku-style god was obtained by Yun Canghai from Feng Ruomei for a piece of essence and blood, combined with the collected essence of Nanming Lihuo, and then blessed with the power of people's faith. Finally, Fused with the Haizhou Dragon Vein and Dragon Qi, the final result is the Protector Shikigami, which is similar to the Guardian God. Of course, even Ampei Qingming was not qualified to use such resources, and Yun Canghai also made great efforts.
In the same way, the three major shikigami he possesses, Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, are also of this type. They are all man-made gods that can only be cultivated with the efforts of a whole country. As Yun Canghai's preferred heir to the Yin Yang Temple, Ampei Qingming must have strong enough combat power. The Onmyoji lineage is not good at refining magic weapons, but it is good at refining and controlling shikigami, so Yun Canghai helped Anbei Qingming develop the twelve shikigami.
Among them, the Four Spirits Shikigami, which are modeled after the Four Spirits Sacred Beasts, are the most powerful and important. Because of their guardian-god-like characteristics, they usually sit in the yin-yang barrier hub of Haizhou Capital to eliminate demonic and filthy forces. Qi, regulates the spiritual energy of earth veins.
Therefore, the Suzaku-style god is named Abe Seimei, but it is actually connected to the destiny of the entire Haizhou. It can suppress one party and cannot be used easily.
"Xiao Qingming, why did you summon me here? I still need to guard the yin-yang barrier hub in the south of Haizhou. I can't leave for too long." Suzaku's clear and sweet woman-like voice sounded in Ampei Qingming's mind, with a hint of tone in his tone. A hint of curiosity.
"Lord Suzaku, this is probably a lair where a large number of demons gather. They may use the volcanic eruption to attack our army. Please lock the fire aura within a ten-mile radius and prevent the lava from spewing out of the ground. If you still have some energy left, If so, please go inside the volcano and help me see what's going on inside." Abe Qingming said in a begging tone.
The Four Spirits have a transcendent status among the Twelve Shikigami. Even he, the nominal master, cannot command them at will and must maintain respect.
As the creation of Nanming Lihuo Essence and Phoenix bloodline, the Suzaku God is indeed the most suitable being to enter the volcano. Suzaku has extremely high control and immunity to flames. As long as it is in the fire, it is equivalent to being at home. Even if the devil has any ambush or conspiracy, it will not cause much harm to it.
"Okay, wait for me for a quarter of an hour." After hearing this, Suzaku nodded and replied, then flapped his wings and instantly turned into a streak of fire and flew straight into the crater.
The next moment, everyone felt the crater tremble violently, and the flow of air suddenly solidified. Countless red particles appeared from it, and then turned into large and small sparks, arranged in a mysterious formation between the sky and the earth, and then slowly disappear.
At this time, even ordinary soldiers could feel that the hot and violent aura that originally existed in the air had completely disappeared.
This is Suzaku's innate magical power, Fire Control! Just a thought can command the surrounding fire auras to make them restless or stable.
As if they discovered that the "weapon" they could rely on had disappeared, the ambusher in the dark finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack brazenly!
Only a dull loud noise was heard from deep underground, and the next moment, the ground shook like a mountain shaking. The earth cracked, the ground trembled like waves, and countless dust and gravel spewed out from the cracked gaps, even mixed with sharp cone-shaped thorns. It was simply a supernatural earthquake.
Even though the soldiers were elite, they could not help but fall into panic in front of the power of heaven and earth. Many people were trampled and injured in the process of escaping and escaping. Some were even swallowed up by cracks in the ground and crushed to death by gravel. Even worse, they were directly killed. The ground thorn penetrated and killed him instantly.
It is conceivable that if Suzaku hadn't locked the power of fire within a ten-mile radius, in this kind of volcanic belt, what would erupt from the ground would turn into magma. By then, the casualties will increase a hundred times!
Obviously, this kind of earthquake is by no means a natural formation, but a large-scale spell controlled by the devil. The ground thorns caused by those spells are proof!
Abe Qingming cast a spell to activate the army's military defense as soon as the earthquake occurred, protecting the soldiers from being harmed by demonic spells. Then, while commanding the army to retreat and treating the wounded, he secretly broke into a cold sweat and said he was lucky.
And inside the crater, Suzaku also encountered an enemy!
