"Whatever it is, let's do it first!"
Xiao Shisan was also a little scared when he looked at the dense will-o'-the-wisp.
Although scientific research in previous lives has proven that this thing is a natural phenomenon of phosphorus burning, it still feels ominous when I see it at night!
Two light cannons penetrated the window and shot towards two of the will-o'-the-wisps.
But after the light cannon hit the will-o'-the-wisp, it did not scatter the will-o'-the-wisp. Instead, it penetrated directly and hit the wall behind.
"what 's wrong?"
Xiao Shisan was shocked. Even if he was the former city lord of Luoyang City, his cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage would also condense a shield in front of him, but this light cannon couldn't even touch the will-o'-the-wisp.
Are those illusory stories about ghosts and gods true?
"Maybe it's a phantom, no entity." Duanmu Ling analyzed.
Xiao Shisan nodded, this was the only possibility.
At this moment, there was a sudden strong wind on the street, and the doors and windows that had not been closed were blown loudly, as if something was about to come out of the darkness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of heavy footsteps mixed with the sound of metal dragging on the ground gradually became clearer in the ears of the three people from far to near.
The will-o'-the-wisps outside the door began to flutter in the direction of the footsteps, as if there was something there attracting them.
Xiao Shisan's back felt cold, and the horror movies he had watched in his previous life began to play in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Coming? What could it be?
Duan Muling glanced at Du Shaojie who was hiding behind Xiao Shisan with disdain, and then stood in front of the two of them, with his spiritual power running, he was ready to fight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the footsteps approached, a dark shadow shone on the paper window under the reflection of the moonlight.
The black shadow has a strong body, even if a person weighing 300 pounds stands in front of it, it will be a bit smaller. There are two curved horns on its head.
At this time, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp floated over, and the black shadow opened its mouth and swallowed the will-o'-the-wisp directly.
Xiao Shisan swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty, feeling extremely surprised in his heart. He had never seen anything so weird before.
Just now Duanmu Ling said that the will-o'-wisp was a phantom, and now it was swallowed up by the black shadow? Why is it so weird?
After swallowing the will-o'-the-wisp, the black shadow paused for a moment and then continued to move forward. The will-o'-the-wisp behind him gathered towards him like moths seeing the light of a candle.
No one was refused, and several balls of will-o'-the-wisps were swallowed by the shadow. Xiao Shisan even heard the shadow burp, seemingly very satisfied!
On the street, all that could be seen was a group of will-o'-the-wisps floating at the door. This group of will-o'-the-wisps seemed different from the previous ones. Not only did it not approach the black shadow, it seemed to want to escape.
At this moment, a fine steel chain flew out, and the runes on the chain flickered, directly entangling the will-o'-the-wisp. The will-o'-the-wisp just looked scary, so how could it be the opponent of the chain.
Despite the violent shaking, he still couldn't break free from the chains. Seeing that the last will-o'-the-wisp was tied up, the black shadow slowly walked up.
When it passed the door, Xiao Shisan just saw a dark thing. Before he could see it clearly, Duan Muling had already rushed forward!
It's a magical move.
The spiritual power was like a wildly growing vine, quickly climbing around the black shadow.
"who?"
After hearing an exclamation from outside the door, Duanmu Ling's spiritual skills were quickly enveloped by a black energy. The black shadow also roared, followed by a loud noise, and Duanmu Ling's spiritual skills were dispersed by the black energy. .
Seeing this, Xiao Shisan didn't care about anything else. He fired two light cannons towards the densest part of the black air, and only heard a dull collision sound.
The black shadow seemed to be angry at the two of them. It roared at Duanmu Ling, and its blade-like claws struck at Duanmu Ling with fierce momentum.
Soon after, Xiao Shisan rushed forward and stood in front of Duanmu Ling.
After hearing a "bang", Xiao Shisan took two steps back. There were three scratches on the chest of the armor that penetrated half of his body. At this time, the armor on his body finally covered his whole body.
"Are you okay?" Duan Muling leaned close to Xiao Shisan, his eyes full of concern.
"fine."
Looking at the scratches on the armor, Xiao Shisan felt relieved. Fortunately, he had the armor to protect his body. Otherwise, if this claw went down, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die!
The black air dissipated, and Xiao Shisan saw clearly the true appearance of the black shadow.
The black shadow turned out to be a huge monster, its body was as black as ink, and its body exuded waves of stench, which was nauseating.
It has two curved horns on its head, as sharp as a blade, and its body is covered with a thick layer of scales. Each scale seems to have been honed for countless years, exuding a faint luster, and its limbs are thick and powerful. The claws are as sharp as knives, and you can tell at a glance that they are extremely lethal.
There was an iron cage the size of a prison car pulled behind the monster. Xiao Shisan took a quick look and saw that there were actually two people in the iron cage.
"That's the soul of the monk!" Duanmu Ling looked at the iron cage with cold eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Shisan's heart tightened. He had heard about monsters hunting monks, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't expect it to be so cruel.
The two souls had disappeared below the waist, leaving only their upper bodies floating in the iron cage, as if whining or roaring for help.
"Who are you? Why don't you close the doors and windows at night?" Before the two of them spoke, the monster spoke human words first and questioned them.
"You are such a hateful monster, why are you imprisoning other people's souls?" Although Xiao Shisan is not a native of this world, he still naturally sides with humans.
"Why are you just a mortal? Let that big girl speak!" Unexpectedly, the monster's tone was full of disdain, and it didn't even look at Xiao Shisan.
"You!"
He never expected that one day he would be looked down upon by a monster. Xiao Shisan wanted to step forward to argue, but his arm was pulled by Duan Muling on the side.
"Don't we close the doors and windows at night to prevent you?" Duanmu Ling took a step forward, his spiritual power bursting out, and his momentum was not weak.
"Can these few broken pieces of wood protect me?"
I saw the monster lift its foot and chop it, and the doors and windows rustled instantly, as if they were about to collapse at any time.
"Then why did you imprison them?"
Previously, all his attention was attracted by this monster, but Duanmu Ling now focused on the two souls in the cage.
They were in a bad state, but now Duanmu Ling couldn't see what was specifically wrong.
"Can you tell? They are not normal human monks!"
The monster threw the cage into the inn hall. The ferocious beast's face was full of defiance. He crossed his arms and looked at the three people.
"The soul is mutilated, the flesh and blood are dead? They are sacrifices!" Duanmu Ling turned pale in surprise as he looked at the two soul bodies in the cage.
In the world of cultivation, there is a formation that is explicitly prohibited, sacrifice.
The organizer sets up a sacrificial formation in an area, and all creatures trapped by the formation will have their flesh and blood drawn out, which will be used to achieve a certain purpose of the organizer.
In such a formation, mortals and monks with low cultivation levels will die on the spot, and even monks with advanced cultivation levels will be subject to many restrictions when they step into it.
"So cruel?"
Xiao Shisan was also shocked at this time. Whenever he thought about the helpless people screaming in that formation but could only see their own flesh and blood disappearing, he felt frightened.
"So, you are collecting their souls? Do you want to resurrect them? How is this possible!"
At this time, Du Shaojie, who had been observing the iron cage, cried out in surprise!
He noticed that the formation was carved on the cage, and the more he looked at it, the more mysterious it became. The formation was very advanced, but the person who carved the formation was really rough, and made mistakes in several places, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the formation.
After the formation ends, the remnant souls of the people who were sacrificed by the formation will be condensed at the place where they died. However, these remnant souls have insufficient spiritual power and cannot last long.
After a certain period of time, the remaining souls dissipate, and these people are truly dead.
This monster locked the two remnant souls in an iron cage. It seemed like torture, but it was actually protecting their souls.
The iron cage is engraved with a formation that can warm the souls and allow them to last longer and not dissipate quickly.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, would I have nothing to do?"
Well, this monster seems to dislike men.
