The team escorting the consort and the princess back to the palace lasted from morning until evening.
On the way, they only stopped to rest for a stick of incense.
Although the speed of travel is much faster than the last time we went to the Demon Suppression Division, at this moment when the sun is about to set, there is still about half of the distance left to go...
There's no point in being anxious.
After all, they are just ordinary soldiers and mortal horses, so they can't go any faster no matter how fast they are.
It's getting dark.
Then you have to find a place to camp as soon as possible.
And Princess Yan Qianqian, who had been urging her to go on her way during the day, took the initiative to ask for a rest just as the sun was about to set.
Although I'm not sure why Her Royal Highness became so capricious today, I must obey her arrangements.
So they buried pots to make rice, and everyone ate and drank enough.
Then, it got completely dark.
The guards, attendants and horses, who had worked hard all day, soon fell asleep and rested.
Haishi.
Inside the tent.
Niu Yuanping lay beside Yan Qianqian.
Quietly looking at his wife who was sleeping with her eyes closed and breathing slowly.
He thought in his mind: "Princess actually went to bed so early today... It must be because she is too tired from the long journey..."
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little distressed.
So he raised his hand and covered his sleeping wife with a brocade quilt.
Then, Niu Yuanping also closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Soon, it was late at night.
The palace guard named Kong Bailin had also fallen into a deep sleep at this moment.
In the haze, he began to have a dream...
In the dream world, a grapevine is growing.
The leaf stems penetrate deeply into this dream space and quickly take root.
The next moment, Kong Bailin saw that the grapevine that had taken root in the dream was quickly spreading into the distance.
The speed is amazing.
The sky-covering vines occupied his entire dream!
Finally, when the entire dream world could no longer fit in, Kong Bailin immediately felt that the grape vines began to grow out of his body...
After that, he knew nothing.
Lost consciousness...
Until death.
Even Kong Bailin couldn't understand why he had such a strange and real dream!
But in fact, this is indeed not a dream.
Every moment he feels is happening for real!
This is the method of monsters...
In order to stop Yan Beichen and destroy his actions, the dragon girl Yu Yixue sent the grape tree spirit, Duoge.
The demon quickly took action.
Togo is a powerful elf who is extremely proficient in the art of possession.
It produces delicious grapes that tempt people to eat.
Those who eat grapes will dream of grape vines while sleeping at night.
It is through this kind of dream that Dogo sneaks into the human soul.
Kong Bailin passed by the hills during the day and the grape trees he saw on the roadside were exactly its bait monster.
As long as you eat a fruit from the bait demon body, it is equivalent to burying its seeds into your soul.
When night falls, Dogo can invade the dreamland, take root in the host's soul, and use the host as a sacrifice for the use of magical powers!
The stronger the magical means used, the more human soul sacrifices are required.
At this time, Dogo began to use a method called Dream Escape.
Casting this technique naturally requires the sacrifice of a sacrifice.
The first sacrifice is Kong Bailin!
After eating Kong Bailin's soul consciousness, it quickly penetrated the dream of another person ten steps away from Kong Bailin's body, centered on this person.
At this moment, a vine flashed across the man's dream!
However, he is still lucky.
Because the vine didn't stay in his dream for too long and quickly left.
It’s as if I can really only reach a vine...
Doge used this person's dream consciousness as a springboard to continue his escape.
Its magical power is actually similar to that of the carp spirit tracing the tide.
Just one is shuttling between the waters, and the other is swimming in the dreamland of the human soul.
...Dogo's goal is very clear at this moment.
It was Yan Qianqian sleeping in the tent!
It can continuously enter and leave human soul consciousness until it reaches its target.
This demon can control people's thoughts and bodies in the target's soul.
It is a powerful nemesis of puppetry.
The reason why Dragon Girl Yu Yixue sent Duoge to take action was precisely to deal with the puppet Yan Qianqian controlled by Yan Beichen.
Yu Yixue wanted to stop Yan Beichen from continuing to monitor and bewitch Niu Yuanping.
She wants to remove this ear and eye! !
Of course, it was also considered that Dogo would fail.
But it’s okay to fail!
Because if Yan Qianqian dealt with Duo Ge like he dealt with Su Xi, his flaws would definitely be exposed this time.
As long as Niu Yuanping notices the abnormality in her body and leaves evidence that she is a puppet, you are done!
now.
Duoge turned into a vine and traveled through the dreams of the palace guards and entourage, absorbing the breath of those people, covering up his own monster breath, and then unknowingly approached Yan Qianqian beside Niu Yuanping.
Then.
It got into Yan Qianqian's mind!
As soon as he entered it, he immediately became vigilant.
...Doge has already been fully prepared to deal with Yan Beichen's counterattack with the power of his spiritual thoughts.
In order to use powerful means and spells to fight, it reserves dozens of sacrifices.
Those sacrifices were exactly the same as Kong Bailin, who ate the bait demon fruit during the day.
In order to obtain sufficient sacrifices, Dogo sacrificed a lot of bait demon fruits in advance.
That's right.
The grapes that taste sweet and have a bit of a bloody smell are the fruits that lure the demon body...
Kong Bailin and others never imagined that those inedible fruits that tasted like women's menstrual cloth were actually monsters.
This thing will eventually kill them...
At this time, Duo Ge was ready to absorb dozens of sacrifices at the same time, intending to fight head-on with Yan Beichen's power of spiritual thoughts.
However……
When it penetrated into the realm of Yan Qianqian's body and thoughts, it did not immediately encounter Yan Beichen's spiritual thoughts.
Instead, I saw a seal!
It was a white mist seal, floating quietly in the sea of consciousness.
Dogo immediately surrounded him.
Observed carefully.
Soon, it was discovered that it contained extremely complex binding spells that could regenerate and repair themselves! !
It is a very clever sealing technique.
“At first glance, it’s Yan Beichen’s handiwork!!”
Doge said to himself very solemnly.
It slowly spreads its vines, completely filling the world.
Then, use the vine tentacles to carefully sense the seal.
After some induction, Dogo finally determined.
The thing in the white mist seal is the host of this body.
Yan Qianqian’s soul!
This gave him an instant enlightenment.
"It seems that this body is not a simple puppet!"
Ordinary puppetry is a technique in which the caster destroys the original soul of a body and then uses his own thoughts and mana as support to use and manipulate the body.
But Yan Qianqian's soul did not die, but was sealed!
This shows that this body is still mainly supported by her soul. Yan Beichen used the blood relationship as the bond, the blood magic spell as the basis, and controlled it with the power of divine thoughts.
This kind of puppet technique is even more brilliant! !
There is no need for Yan Beichen to use too much mana and energy to support his physical body. It's more stable.
The body will not be corrupted or destroyed due to occasional loss of control.
It is even more difficult to be seen through, because the body is blessed by Yan Qianqian's soul breath!
After understanding the essence of this puppet technique, Doge was thoughtful.
Soon, I thought of a way.
"Although I don't know why Yan Beichen took back his spiritual thoughts...but this is a good opportunity!!"
You can use the moment when Yan Beichen's spiritual thoughts are withdrawn to destroy the seal that imprisons Yan Qianqian's soul, allowing her to regain control of her body and tell Niu Yuanping the truth.
"Destroy or control this puppet body, thereby stopping Niu Yuanping from being bewitched by Yan Beichen and blocking all Yan Beichen's actions."
This is the task given to Doge by the dragon girl Yu Yixue.
If the real Yan Qianqian were to tell the truth to Niu Yuanping in person, the effect would be very good!
Doge thinks it's worth a try.
But due to the blood ties and the blood curse, even if the seal is destroyed, the seal will be quickly repaired when Yan Beichen returns with his spiritual thoughts!
In other words, time is limited.
But no matter what the result is, give it a try!
then.
Duoge slowly stretched his vine tentacles towards the seal that trapped Yan Qianqian's soul...
