"Brother Zhu, how are you?"
Seeing Zhu Mao's face pale and falling to the ground unsteadily, some people asked eagerly, and those who didn't speak looked at him. It was obvious that Zhu Mao had become the backbone of these people inadvertently.
"I don't mind, be careful and watch out for Shangguan Hong!"
Zhu Huo said slightly weakly, it seemed that the method he used just now really consumed too much of his spiritual energy.
But in fact, this is not the case. The method Zhu Yun used just now will indeed deplete his spiritual energy, but the lost spiritual energy will not make him what he is now. What he is showing now is what he did deliberately for everyone to see. , mainly for Shangguan Hong to see, and secondly, Zhu Hao is the one who truly preserves his strength. He was sure that his method would surprise everyone. He must have never seen Shangguan Hong, Lou Qingyao and Ni Qiuyi before. It was indeed the case. At that time, he was breathing green flames, but he saw the shocked expressions of these three people. This gave him room to make excuses.
Zhu Yue knew that as long as Shangguan Hong killed himself, he would be able to defeat everyone's confidence in winning. As soon as he died, everyone would have no intention of fighting anymore, become completely discouraged, and would immediately flee. That was exactly what Shangguan Hong wanted, so he was sure that she would attack him again, and she would be more ruthless, so he deliberately showed weakness to the enemy. After forcing Shangguan Hong back with the help of the green flames he breathed, he He deliberately made his face pale and looked a little weak, just to make Shangguan Hong mistakenly think that he had suffered a great loss of spiritual energy because he had cast the spell to save his life, so that she could see the hope of success, thus tempting her to continue.
The most important thing is that he can use this to fall to the ground naturally. This is what Zhu Yan wants most.
The reason for this is that he witnessed Pi Fengling's methods with his own eyes, whether it was when Pi Fengling grabbed Shangguan Hong with his giant hand of mud and smashed her to the ground, or when Pi Fengling later used the golden scorpion poisonous needle to kill her. The time he saved him, although Zhu Yan didn't know that it was Shanjia Technique, it seemed to him that Pi Fengling's methods suddenly improved greatly, and he was vaguely not afraid of Shangguan Hong's methods at all. Even if he was defeated, he was still strong enough to fight After resisting for a while without losing, and there seemed to be no need to worry about Pi Fengling's life in the fight, Zhu Hao determined that Pi Fengling would be the main force in dealing with Shangguan Hong next.
Although Zhu Yan didn't know that Pi Fengling had excellent earth spiritual roots, he also guessed that Pi Fengling's method was a powerful earth spell, and such a method was cast in the air, far away from the ground. If you want to use the soil, you won't be able to exert 100% of its power. For this reason, before taking action, Zhu Yan even asked Pi Fengling in a low voice, and received a positive reply from the other party. Since Pi Fengling was to be the main one, he had to let him fully use his methods, so Zhu Yan Then they decided on the most basic strategy of dealing with Shangguan Hong near the ground.
The rest of the monks, including Shangguan Hong, will not be affected in their performance whether they are in the air or on the ground, but Pi Fengling will be able to use the endless soil and stones under his feet as a weapon to deal with Shangguan because he sets foot on the earth. Hong's method, I think this will definitely increase the chance of winning.
Therefore, as long as Zhu's cloak falls to the ground, Shangguan Hong can be lured down as well.
Of course, Zhu Mao also has another intention, which is to hide his clumsiness.
It is necessary for every monk outside to hide his strength. Only in this way can he cope more calmly when facing danger. As for Zhu Yan, who has a cautious personality, even if he can defeat Shangguan Hong tonight, he will not I wish to let others see all my strength.
And for a person like Zhu Yuan who is very calculating, if many people work together to defeat a strong enemy, they must be good at using everyone's strength and means, use force with strength, and use wisdom with wisdom. If a group of people are strong and wise, it will not be difficult to win, and Zhu Huo is the wise one among them. As long as he can mobilize the people, there is no need for him to exert his best efforts. The advantage of this is that everyone can Can't figure out my own bottom line.
…
Almost everyone fell to the ground with the Zhu cloak. The black wind mosquitoes on all sides were like a large whirlpool that was spinning wildly in the shallow sea area. The center of the vortex exposed the sand and gravel on the seabed, and there were walls of rapid water on all sides. These people Right in the center of this dark whirlpool.
Shao Zhi had always looked nervous and a little unbelievable, because at this time, with the power of induction that surpassed everyone present, he had been unable to confirm Shangguan Hong's exact location.
As mentioned before, before everyone fell down and after Shangguan Hong retreated into the swarm of insects, Shao Zhi lost the exact grasp of Shangguan Hong's position almost instantly.
That feeling was something Shao Zhi had never experienced before. Originally, Shangguan Hong was a person with a strong aura. To Shao Zhi, she was as easy to identify as a light in the dark night. But the moment she entered the insect swarm, Shangguan Hong's aura suddenly blurred within Shao Zhi's induction, as if Shangguan Hong's original aura was like a big stone. After she entered the insect swarm, she The breath turned into thousands of grains of sand and instantly filled the entire insect swarm. It really felt as if the insect swarm was a violently rotating hurricane with strong winds, tearing Shangguan Hong into countless tiny pieces. There was endless revolving around these people. Shao Zhi felt that there was Shangguan Hong's aura in front, back, left and right, but the aura everywhere was not strong. Although the aura was not strong, the sinister feeling was much stronger, because Shao Zhi had experienced it just now. Shangguan Hong can kill from any place in the swarm at any time, making Shao Zhi very passive. This is what makes him confused and shocked.
After experiencing the brief battle just now, these people began to be convinced by Shao Zhi's induction. After all, so many people were confused by the golden light rushing out of the insect swarm just a moment ago. Only Shao Zhi's judgment was correct. Therefore, After losing sight of Shangguan Hong, people all turned their attention to Shao Zhi.
If Shao Zhi can accurately sense Shangguan Hong's position and guide everyone, then these people must have means to force Shangguan Hong out, such as Shao Zhi's sword, Qi Sijing's talisman, and Wu Han's spells, etc. It can exert its power within the insect swarm. Unfortunately, when they saw Shao Zhi, they found the sword cultivator's face full of confusion and panic. It didn't take a discerning person to see that he could not find any trace of Shangguan Hong.
Some people are still puzzled by this. Isn't he a sword cultivator? Or didn't he find Shangguan Hong just now?
The spiritual insects that Ni Qiuyi raises are far less numerous than those of Shangguan Hong, so it is impossible for her to deal with Shangguan Hong's Black Wind Mosquitoes in the same insect-to-insect manner. Even if she kills all the spiritual insects on her body, She couldn't do it, and her other method was to use poison, but this method also required knowing Shangguan Hong's location at this time, so she wanted to use Shao Zhi's induction to find Shangguan Hong, and then attack him. After seeing Shao Zhi's expression, Ni Qiuyi asked in confusion:
"Master Shao, what's wrong? Could it be that Shangguan Hong is far away from here and hiding deep?"
Shao Zhi shook his head with an ugly expression, and when everyone was looking at him, he said:
"You may not believe it, but now my feeling is that we are surrounded by Shangguan Hong alone. In my perception, there are Shangguan Hong everywhere in this swarm. Although she was only one person when she came out, I felt I can’t pinpoint her location because she is everywhere. Alas, I can only know where she is when she actually appears.”
These words were nothing to the ears of Zhu Yan and Lou Qingyao. They all thought that Shangguan Hong had used some weird method to cover his aura. It might even be specially used to deal with the sword cultivator's induction, but Listening to Ni Qiuyi made her heart move.
Ni Qiuyi immediately asked:
"Master Shao, what do you mean? Are you saying that Shangguan Hong has something similar to the art of clones or...?"
"It's definitely not the art of clones. If it is the art of clones, then Shangguan Hong's illusion skills will be so brilliant that none of us can match them. Well, in my opinion, it's like there are as many Shangguan Hongs as there are bugs here. , we were surrounded from all directions."
These words still didn't attract much attention in everyone's ears. Anyway, Shangguan Hong's methods have always been extremely powerful. It seems reasonable to make Shao Zhi have such an illusion. Only Ni Qiuyi's heart moved after hearing it, and finally let her I vaguely guessed something.
As mentioned earlier, Shangguan Hong possesses the rare "Body of an Insect Mother". Although this is an extremely useful qualification for spirit-controlling monks, it is only useful to spirit-controlling monks who raise spirit insects. Naturally, other spirit-controlling monks After advanced cultivation, you will know this as your experience increases, but for a spiritual monk who has practiced Qi refining, the qualifications of this "insect mother body" are far inferior to those of water spiritual roots or earth spiritual roots with superior qualifications. The spiritual root is so famous, or it is inaccessible, or only the spiritual monks who specialize in raising spiritual insects have the opportunity to hear about the "Insect Mother Body", so Zhu Yan and Lou Qingyao heard Shao Zhi's There was no reaction at all after those words, but Ni Qiuyi, who also only raised spiritual insects, knew about this "insect mother's body". Not only did she know, Ni Qiuyi also knew that there were some high-level, even magical and incredible insect-controlling powers. This technique can only be performed by spirit-controlling monks who possess the "Insect Mother's Body".
For example, Ni Qiuyi knew a kind of magic that "gathers and disperses invisible, incarnates into millions". That kind of magic is a high-level insect-controlling technique, which means that a spiritual-controlling monk with an "insect mother's body" can simultaneously Possessing all the spirit insects summoned, his body will disappear at the same time. After casting this spell, no matter how many spirit insects there are, each one is her eyes and ears, and she can pass through each spirit insect. She uses insect senses to observe and spy on her opponents; at the same time, each spirit insect is the medium for her physical reappearance. She can re-transform herself through any spirit insect that has been possessed by her, and appear in the most inconspicuous place. , appearing from the least expected place and delivering a fatal blow to the opponent.
I’m really envious!
Ni Qiuyi secretly thought, it seems that what Zhu Yan said is right. No wonder the Shangguan family and the monk named Qiu Huahe value Shangguan Hong so much. She actually has such a rare qualification.
When she thought of this, Ni Qiuyi raised her eyes and looked at the endless swarm of insects in front of her. She secretly thought that there was no need to look for Shangguan Hong. She was all in front of her, and she was staring at everyone!
Can such an opponent... really be defeated?
