Xu Nuo holds the hilt of the sword tightly and moves the sword flexibly. Every time the sword cuts through the air, it will make a sonorous sword sound. He tried his best to avoid fighting the demon for too long and getting trapped, and adopted the tactics of quickly repelling it, which was relatively easy for a while. At the same time, he always paid attention to Lu Xiao's movements.
Xu Nuo's figure moved nimbly among the trees, like a breeze. Sometimes he jumped up and sometimes bent down, cleverly avoiding the fierce attacks of the evil spirits. Although the evil attacks are fierce, they always pass by and fail to touch the promised clothes.
The promised swordsmanship is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the light and shadow flicker as the sword edge dances. His body movements were extremely flexible and he was able to avoid every vicious attack from the evil spirits. The sound of the sword echoed in the dense forest, forming an exciting melody that seemed to complement the roar of the evil spirit.
He only felt his sword dancing faster and faster, accompanied by a trace of lightning. Looking back at the piercing, before he could even react, he found that an evil spirit had been skewered on his sword. After being pierced, the evil spirit turned into a human being. Wisps of smoke dispersed with the wind.
"Um?"
How did you do that sword strike just now?
He began to recall the situation just now, and radiated the energy out of his body. In his perception, the energy formed a spherical shape around him like a thread, and a one-eyed demon rushed towards Xu Nuo, touching The moment he touched the qi machine thread, Xu Nuo immediately turned around and struck out with his sword.
But the result was not what he thought. The sword blade passed by the side of the evil body, and the sword missed the target.
Bah--
Xu Nuo had no time to dodge, and was scratched open on his shoulder. The injury looked very serious, and blood was rushing out.
But the strange thing is that the wound is obviously huge, but there is no pain at all.
Could it be that the claws of these beasts have toxins that can paralyze nerves?
The sword strike just now probably missed the mark. Maybe the one-eyed monster dodged it on its own?
When he looked back, the one-eyed demon had already blended into the group of demons and disappeared.
Lu Xiao stood aside with a calm expression. The magic weapon in his hand gave off a faint light, forming a solid shield to block the evil attacks in front of him. Lu Xiao's eyes flashed as he accurately analyzed Yaoxie's offensive and looked for a way to break it.
Xu Nuo suppressed his injuries and realized that the one-eyed demon in front of him was unusual. The attack was clearly beyond his expectations, and he felt a sense of unspeakable frustration.
"The power of evil spirits cannot be underestimated." Lu Xiao said lightly, the light in his eyes getting brighter. He observed Xu Nuo's injury, but did not say much, instead focusing on the analysis of the evil spirit.
Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Xiao: "One of these monsters has extremely cunning attacks and movements, and can even bypass my defenses. We have to deal with it carefully."
Lu Xiao nodded, he understood the meaning of the promise. He also discovered an unusual monster just now. Its fighting method was obviously somewhat special. It was different from the direct attacks of other monsters and was more flexible and cunning.
"Strategies need to be readjusted to avoid similar attacks again."
Xu Nuo felt that the wound was gradually becoming numb. Although he could not feel the pain, it also made him more vigilant against evil spirits. He refocused his mind, holding the sword in his hand, preparing for the coming battle.
"Senior brother, do you think there is any way to remove this poison?" Xu Nuo asked.
Lu Xiao nodded slightly and threw a pill to Xu Nuo: "There is a way. Use the pill to relieve the poison first. I will use magic to dispel the poison in your body, but it will take some time. You continue to be vigilant and don't be careless. "
Xu Nuo took the elixir and hurriedly drank it. It felt like the effect of the elixir was taking effect quickly. Although his wound was still bleeding, he could already feel a faint pain. Apparently, some of the toxins that could paralyze the nerves had been eliminated.
Looking at the horde of demons and evil spirits that filled the sky, even Lu Xiao began to frown.
Something is wrong.
The danger level of this task was very low, so he decided to go with Xu Nuo temporarily when the other person was unwell. But now it seemed that so many evil spirits were obviously not something that ordinary monks could deal with.
Why are there such a huge group of demons and evil spirits growing here?
Now it was a little difficult to deal with. Lu Xiao took a look around during the gap in defense and found that the evil spirits always stayed in one position and surrounded the two of them, as if they wanted to use the advantage of numbers to defeat them?
Then the key to the problem should be the one-eyed demon that is different from other demons. Judging from the fact that it knows how to hide with the help of other demons, it may have developed some spiritual intelligence.
Thinking like this, Lu Xiao gathered his true energy, chanted silently, and released a fire spell, burning a path among the demons and evil spirits, and then looked at Xu Nuo:
"Junior brother, retreat first and then consider the long term!"
Xu Nuo heard the sound and strode through the road created by Lu Xiao. When the two left, the demonic group did not continue to chase them, but watched the two people leave.
"Hoo, hoo."
Xu Nuo was a little tired. He had just killed dozens of evil spirits with his sword. Every time he used the sword, it would consume a lot of energy. At this time, although his physical strength was not bad, his mental aspect was already somewhat unsustainable.
At this moment, he felt a faint red light shine behind him, and at the same time his body was filled with warmth. He glanced behind him and found that Lu Xiao was holding a magic seal in his hand and was releasing magic to detoxify himself.
Lu Xiao's seal exuded warm light, penetrating along Xu Nuo's body. The touch of the shimmering light made Xunuo feel a sense of relief. As the toxins gradually dissipated, the wound on his shoulder also slowly healed.
"Thank you, senior brother." Xu Nuo breathed out slowly.
"The evil behavior here is a bit unusual," Lu Xiao nodded as a reply, then he sat on a stone and frowned, "The tasks issued by the sect to the inner and outer disciples are generally relatively simple. Under normal circumstances, they encounter Two or three demons are already the limit that the sect disciples can handle now, but now there is a group of demons here, which obviously does not match the mission information."
Xu Nuo replied: "Maybe it's because there has been some kind of change here recently?"
The two looked at each other and then said:
"Is it possible that the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is behind this?"
"I'm not sure, but if it is, the one-eyed monster among them has mutated."
Speaking of this, Lu Xiao shook his head: "Although I have entered the foundation-building realm, I am better at defense, and the skills I practice are not biased towards killing. This mission... No, this matter should be very difficult for the two of us alone. It’s difficult to solve.”
Lu Xiao stood up and looked at Xu Nuo: "Other than a head-on fight with those evil spirits, there should be no good solution for the time being. Let's notify the villagers first and ask them to take shelter elsewhere."
