Another cry.
Shang Xia hesitated to move forward, but with this forward movement, a lot of light and shadow suddenly appeared around him. Then, he lost control, like a fish lost in the deep sea, and could only be carried by the fish. To go in a certain direction.
Where he had noticed, Zhao Ning still existed, standing indifferently. She just took a deep look at the light spot, then turned around and disappeared into everyone's dreams.
This dream is not a dream of cannibalism. Zhao Ning can feel it. It is even weaker than the dream of Ghost Valley that Shang Xia once experienced. Whether they can get out of the dream is a test for themselves, not to mention that Zhao Ning has already provided help. .
And Zhao Ning had other things to do at the moment.
She stood in the air, spread her hands, and what appeared was the half-washed stone that had been given to Shang Xia.
She lowered her eyes and looked at it for a while, then the spiritual light wrapped around the washing stone. In an instant, the washing stone shattered, and a flash of light appeared inside, and the light suddenly went away into the distance.
Zhao Ning did not catch up immediately. She looked at the direction in which the light was going, which seemed to be the way she came in the daytime.
She followed the light and stopped high above the forest she had passed in the morning. The light penetrated into the forest and disappeared completely.
She pinched a spell with one hand. The spell carried a little pressure in the forest. Not long after, two giant pythons jumped out of the forest. They were the ones who wanted to devour the little girl during the day. python.
The giant python emerged from the snake cave. Before it could swim far, a human appeared in front of it. They stood together spiritually, raising the snake's head high, which was several feet high. It looked like it was so imposing. Suppress the illusion of recruitment.
"The blood is soaring to the sky, and the evil spirit has eaten many people." Zhao Ning murmured.
But the humans in front of them are masters of the late Nascent Soul, and what they do is nothing more than a mantis trying to do something like a chariot.
But Zhao Ning only took half a step forward. The giant python's body suddenly stiffened, as if it had been struck by lightning, and then fell to the ground. The two giant pythons were entangled and struggling, as if they were trying to get rid of the terrifying... the power of.
But it doesn't help.
When Zhao Ning took another step forward, the giant python could only lie on the ground.
The heads of two pythons hit Zhao Ning's feet. Zhao Ning looked down and saw that the snake's vertical pupils were filled with strange colors.
But when they looked at each other, something seemed to be discovered.
Light and shadow were flowing rapidly in the dark world. Zhao Ning saw two giant pythons swimming towards a corpse. It was a corpse that had lost all vitality. When one of the giant pythons opened its mouth and swallowed it, the corpse Suddenly he opened his eyes. The whites and pupils were no longer distinguishable. The whole eyeballs were cloudy. Blue and white scars began to appear on his body. His eyes gradually became bloodshot and demonized.
But its demonization was not maintained, and another python also surrounded it and seized the other half of the body.
The two pythons split the body in half and swallowed it simultaneously before fighting over it.
No wonder the two pythons behaved abnormally.
It stands to reason that the monsters are already at the second level and have basic intelligence. When they meet the human race, they will avoid it and try not to show such bloodthirsty side. They live in the human race territory. Once they meet the human race, they will avoid it. Discovery means they are not far from death.
What's more, among the five people was Shang Xia, a cultivator who was born with the power to get close to spiritual beasts, but he faced even more crazy attacks, which was completely opposite to Shang Xia's physique.
"And he ate something weird."
Once you leave the Western Demonic Wasteland, monsters are actually very rare in Kyushu. In addition, after the Kunxu Demonic Rebellion, all major cultivation circles are afraid of encountering the same thing, and they are even more cautious about inner demons.
Why do monsters suddenly appear here?
Zhao Ning turned around, and in his sight, the past scenes rushed toward Zhao Ning quickly, and the fallen body stood up again. He ran away in a panic, running away from time to time and looking back from time to time. But in Zhao Ning's field of vision, he He was going backwards until he fell into a sinkhole.
In an instant, Zhao Ning appeared on the tiankeng. The tiankeng was extremely dark, and one could not explore its true situation even if one's spiritual consciousness penetrated into it. It seemed that there was some hazy formation that blocked the exploration.
"found it."
She didn't pause any longer and just went straight into the sinkhole. The interior of the sinkhole was extremely narrow and faint traces of blood could be seen, which were the traces left by the people at the bottom of the sinkhole who escaped.
Zhao Ning used her escape technique to dive down until after half a cup of tea, she touched the formation.
This is just an ordinary restriction. Zhao Ning can enter it without even breaking it. However, after Zhao Ning passes through the formation barrier, a gust of dark wind suddenly blows towards Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning turned around to avoid it and only raised his eyes to take a look. It was not the Yin wind, but the illusion of Yin ghosts. Yin ghosts have no grades and their cultivation level can never be judged. The Yin ghost in front of them was extremely weird. Yes, originally it had no form, but as it turned around it gradually took on a body shape, resembling a woman.
Hiss - I heard a whistling sound in my ears. Zhao Ning cast a spell in front of him. The ghost hit the spell. According to the original result, it should have disappeared in the air instantly.
However, Zhao Ning only felt a heavy blow on his chest, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The next moment, the ghost's form was gradually condensed. It had no facial features, but its figure looked almost exactly the same as Zhao Ning's, and...
It is casting the spell that Zhao Ning just used.
For a sudden moment, Zhao Ning thought of the trial in the nine-story Aoki Trial Tower. All the opponent's abilities were replicas of his own, but the ghost in front of him might be even weirder than that trial, and its attacks would be Backfired on himself.
After the opponent's spell was cast, when the mana hit Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning had already avoided it by several feet. At this time, more Yin ghosts appeared nearby, and their descriptions were just like the first Yin ghost. Generally start to simulate the appearance of recruitment.
Zhao Ning was on guard. She knew that facing such a ghost, no matter how many attacks she made, it would be of no avail and would only cause her to be severely injured.
The first Yin ghost has gradually approached Zhao Ning, and he is probably the first to attack Zhao Ning. As a result, it looks one step ahead of the other Yin ghosts, and looks like the leader of the entire Yin ghost group.
The space around Zhao Ning shook, and the void seemed to be distorted. The Yin ghost's attack was deflected in the distortion, but at the same time, it seemed to have learned the power to distort the void. It was clearly three feet away, and the force wind was already approaching. Within half a foot.
Zhao Ning suddenly teleported and disappeared. The moment she disappeared, another twisted force of wind appeared at her original position, which happened to collide with the original force. In an instant, the center was cleared for ten feet.
At this moment, Zhao Ning looked down in mid-air, but the Yin ghosts within ten feet disappeared, and the Yin ghosts in the farther range began to fill in. However, because of the collision just now, they learned new abilities. Once they get close to each other, they explode. It spread among them.
At this moment, the entire underground void was dazzling with brilliance and colors, just like the fireworks in the world.
Zhao Ning's consciousness swept past, and there was no more threatening creature. She leaned forward with her hands behind her back and continued downward.
Soon, the darkness underground was pushed aside, and an empty underground space appeared in Zhao Ning's eyes.
This is an underground cave. There are many stones containing fire elements scattered around the cave. Some of them have turned into fire spirit mines after years of evolution, while some cannot withstand too much fire spirit power and break into fire-attribute fines. Sand is scattered on the ground, and condensation falls on the ground. There are traces of a volcanic river drying up on the ground.
Not far away, there was a passage glowing with fire leading to an unknown place.
Zhao Ning took a few steps forward along the passage, but her feet stopped. She looked down and saw that the cracked ground was filled with rich fire energy, but it was mixed with a trace of demonic energy.
She stepped hard, and in an instant, several cracks appeared on the side of her foot. The cracks opened on their own, revealing a broken bone inside.
It is the spiritual bone of a cultivator. It is probably the remains of a fire spirit root and at least in the golden elixir stage. However, the surface of this remains is mottled black, which is caused by the infection of demonic energy.
Zhao Ning's spiritual consciousness was released and swept across the ground here. In addition to these bones, there were also some other bones, mostly fire-attribute monsters, and their states were completely similar to the bones.
What happened underground.
Could it be that just like Kunxu's time, the earliest demon cultivators were hidden underground.
Zhao Ning frowned for a moment, and gathered spiritual pressure with his spiritual consciousness. In an instant, all the demonized bones were turned into pieces.
She did not stay here, and walked forward along the passage step by step. Thinking about what she saw in Yangzhou today, there was no trace of demonic infection. Even the weird people in the village did not have the same symptoms as Kunxu. A sign of a cultivator's demonization.
Isn't it the return of demonic chaos?
After walking for more than ten miles in the depths, the stone walls on both sides of the passage were stained with some magma that had not completely solidified. The magma dripped down the stone walls and fell to the ground, splashing dust and smoke, forming potholes.
Obviously, this place is very close to the volcanic eruption, and the temperature has exceeded the extreme temperature that a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator can withstand.
There was new feedback in Zhao Ning's consciousness. Next to the volcanic lake lay several corpses that looked like giant pythons devouring them.
She appeared next to the corpses in an instant. Compared with the appearance in the eyes of the giant python, the shapes of these corpses were clearer, seemingly demonic but not demonic. Their bodies were covered with cracks, and solid demonic energy overflowed and even flowed from the cracks. It was as if demonic energy was injected into their bodies in an instant, so much so that the cultivator's body could not bear it and burst to death in an instant.
The only good thing is that these demonic energies are weaker than those brought by the Kunxu Demon Seed and will not cause spread, but they will also affect the mind.
There are a total of twenty-three corpses here. Judging from their clothes, almost all of them are casual cultivators.
Zhao Ning walked over to a corpse, which looked like a middle-aged woman. Judging from the strength of her body, she was at least in the late stage of foundation building. She had no extra possessions on her body, and her spirit bag and spiritual storage devices had all been taken away.
She stretched out her hand and placed it on the woman's body. She was enveloped in spiritual light. A subtle aura emanated from her body, gradually forming light and shadow memories. However, those memories were distorted and broken.
Only a shrill scream was heard, and a slender hand was clasped on the woman's head. The demonic energy poured into the woman's body along the hand. Then, the woman's consciousness gradually blurred, and as she approached When he leaned back, his eyes seemed to touch that person's appearance, but that person had already disappeared.
Zhao Ning's steps turned, and his eyes moved from place to place. The aura around him floated, pulling the things around him. A grain of sand, a rock, a piece of fire moss... all floated a trace of illusory aura like smoke. However, when these auras When responding, the memory of light and shadow was suddenly cut off.
It is the same as the valley where Yue Lingfei died.
With a snap, a piece of broken rock fell into the volcanic lake, and was instantly swallowed up with Gulu bubbles emerging.
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes and felt something. With a finger of spiritual light, the surface of the volcanic lake suddenly parted, revealing an inward passage. A small spiritual light was restless in the middle of the lake. It was the spiritual light that jumped out from the washed stone.
It was telling Zhao Ning that the person she wanted to find was deep in the volcanic lake.
The next moment, Zhao Ning disappeared on the spot. In the volcanic lake, the divine light wrapped around Zhao Ning. The hot magma washed away the surface of the divine light, and was frozen by the divine light in an instant.
Until Zhao Ning saw a body.
Familiar yet unfamiliar, dressed in a luxurious robe and a golden crown, he was very different from the blacksmith Zhao Ning met in Haijiaofang City.
However, this is not the point. The point is that Peng Jian has no breath and Nascent Soul is missing.
Zhao Ning frowned slightly, standing next to Peng Jiao, her consciousness spread to the bottom of the volcanic lake, but she couldn't find any clues. She was about to send Peng Jiao's body out of the volcanic lake, when Zhao Ning suddenly raised her head, her gaze penetrated the magma and the rock formations. , noticed something strange.
The figure flew upwards like light, until it was once again in the void of the formation in the middle. Countless ghosts were born as the wind blew, and they imitated everything Zhao Ning did, from appearance to spells, as before.
But this time Zhao Ning did not attack in the same way, but wandered around among the dense attacks of ghosts, trying to find something.
The person who had the connection with Peng Jue's body was most likely Peng Jue's Nascent Soul. When it entered this place again, Zhao Ning thought it had suffered some kind of alienation and turned into one of the ghosts.
However, the endless ghosts did not give Zhao Ning a clear answer, and even searching for it seemed like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhao Ning stands in the void, surrounded by divine light, surrounded by dense "Zhao Ning". The divine light is the final barrier.
Suddenly, Zhao Ning stretched out his hand, and spiritual light gathered in his palm. With another turn, a point of light shot straight up from below.
At this moment, those ghosts seemed to have lost consciousness of Zhao Ning, and all their attention was focused on that light spot.
Even beyond Zhao Ning's expectation, those ghosts "imitated" light spots, and then turned into countless light spots floating in the void.
Zhao Ning was surprised, turned her steps, and took everything in her eyes.
Until she suddenly understood something.
"So that's it!" As he said this, he took out a complicated spell in his hand. As the spell rotated rapidly, several ancient cloud patterns gradually appeared around Zhao Ning. At the last moment of the spell, a golden light flashed in Zhao Ning's eyes.
"combine!"
Ancient cloud patterns surged out in all directions, magnifying several times, and invisible waves spread layer upon layer.
Until the end, all the light spots are covered. If you look closely, you can notice that there are several identical ancient cloud patterns on each light spot.
"Return!"
As soon as the Zhao Ning Technique was turned, with a slight roar, all the light spots were seen rushing in a certain direction until the last light spot gathered together.
A small Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged appeared in the depths of the void, with light spots lingering around the Nascent Soul like brilliance.
That was the original power of Nascent Soul, but it was extremely dim at the moment.
After Zhao Ning took a few steps to get within ten feet, Yuanying suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then he pinched a spell in his hand, and Yuanying disappeared on the spot.
In the underground volcanic lake, a ray of light rushed into the lake, and the lava lake water splashed around, burning the demonized corpses nearby.
Zhao Ning appeared by the lake, and after a while, a figure jumped out of the lake. It was none other than the sleeping Master Peng Jian.
