Shen Hao took several steps back, and claws flew in front of him. Not only did he easily tear open the true energy shield he had put on, but he also ignored the brocade robe magic weapon on his body. In the blink of an eye, six tears were left on his left shoulder and right rib. hurt.
This was the result of Shen Hao blocking most of the fatal attacks with his excellent on-the-spot reaction and the Yanji knife in his hand. Even if his reaction was a little slower, he would have died on the spot.
The situation is very bad.
Based on Shen Hao's experience, even without the need to chase evil spirits, he was sure that the black shadow attacking him in front of him was a third-grade evil spirit.
It was cloud-like, about ten feet tall, and as black as ink. It stretched out three claw-like limbs at extremely fast speeds, and its pair of blood-red eyes made it even more ferocious.
"boom!"
Shen Hao's inner body could no longer bear the huge repulsive force after barely cutting off a claw strike with another knife. A mouthful of blood oozed from his mouth and nose, and his whole body was thrown back and hit hard by a tree. On the pillar.
Facing a third-level evil spirit for the first time, Shen Hao's current level 6 Qi Refining cultivation level was like that of a half-year-old child, with no power to fight back.
However, Shen Hao also took this opportunity to distance himself a little and took out two talismans from his arms.
A thunder control talisman and a signing talisman.
Inspiring the true energy, the two talismans were activated at the same time.
The thunder-controlling talisman welcomes the enemy, and the recruiting talisman calls for help.
"Crack!"
The moment the talisman was activated, a thunderbolt as thick as an arm appeared out of thin air and accurately struck the evil spirit in front of Shen Hao.
"hiss!"
A hiss of pain resounded from Xie Sui's mouth, and at the same time, there was a penetrating wound as thick as the mouth of a bowl on its body. Even the mist-shaped main body could not heal this injury. This was caused by the thunder just now.
The thunder method anode has a multifold damage effect on evil things like Xie Sui.
Another sign of support also rose into the sky. Not only did the light and shadow of Xuanzi shine out to send out a signal for help, but there was also strong special mana fluctuations that spread out for dozens of miles in a few breaths.
"Pity!"
A thunder-controlling talisman opened a skylight for the evil spirit in front of him. It was absolutely seriously injured, but it did not kill it directly. Shen Hao sighed inwardly.
I felt a pity in my heart but kept my hands on it. I took out the last thunder talisman from my arms and punched it out again without hesitation.
Just like the thunderbolt just now, and even if the evil spirit obviously wanted to run away, it was too late.
There was a click, and the evil spirit that had been opened the skylight for the second time could no longer hold it back. After a shrill scream, its body began to collapse, and wisps of violent energy visible to the naked eye floated out from its body like a cocoon, and finally sank into the ground. , and soon only a walnut-sized bead remained.
"Is this the evil core?!"
Demons produce demon elixirs, and evil spirits breed evil cores. The principle is similar to clam beads. It's just that compared to clam beads, demon pills and evil cores are much rarer.
Shen Hao has been in Xuanqing Guard for eight years and has killed no less than fifty evil spirits, but this is the first time he has seen an evil core.
Before he could think about it, an indescribable but fierce hunger suddenly emerged. What caught Shen Hao even more unprepared was that he instinctively stared at the evil core and couldn't stop swallowing.
"What's going on?! Why do I want to eat that thing?!"
He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't resist the feeling of hunger. Shen Hao grabbed the evil core with trembling hands and threw it directly into his mouth.
For a moment, Shen Hao was on the verge of tears and remembered a sentence he had heard before: I don't want to eat either, but my hands and mouth have their own ideas.
He felt sick in his heart, but he chewed it vigorously. He even thought it tasted like salty chocolate! ?
The next second, Shen Hao's heart trembled. He remembered the opening words of Xuan Qingwei's "The Chronicle of Evil Spirits": The evil core is the core of the evil spirit. It is extremely evil and contains rotten poison. If you eat it, you will definitely die.
Eating will lead to death...
Certain death...
Mortality...
die......
Shen Hao clicked his lips a few times, his expression extremely bitter. He didn't expect that the ending of his time travel would be to die from greed!
But after a few breaths, Shen Hao realized something was wrong.
It stands to reason that if he swallows an evil core that will definitely lead to death, his meridians will be severed due to the cold in an instant, and then the Taoist base will collapse and the body will be exhausted. It should be extremely painful. Why is he now getting more and more painful except for his chest? Nothing but heat?
Sheathing the knife again, he took a deep breath and managed to calm down some of the restless real energy in his body. He tried to stir up the meridians in his body for a few times and found that there was nothing abnormal. Even though Shen Hao was determined, he couldn't help but feel that he had had a disease before. Hallucination, in fact, he didn't eat the evil core at all?
Before Shen Hao could figure out the situation, there were frequent footsteps around him. Xuanqing Guards and hundreds of garrison soldiers outside Qi Mansion received Shen Hao's signal for help and hurried over. They came quickly, but it was still a little slow for Shen Hao.
...
On the fourth day after the incident, in the morning, Qi Mansion.
"Xiao Qi, your injuries are not serious. The wounds on your left shoulder and right ribs will heal in a few days. There are no signs of Yin poison ravaging the inner palace, just some tremor injuries. I will prescribe some medicine to help you with Yang and Yin. Can dissolve..."
The old doctor made a conclusion about Shen Hao's injury while prescribing the prescription.
It's a small injury, but he won't die.
Facing the surprise attack of a third-grade evil spirit, he only suffered a minor injury, which was undoubtedly his great luck. The other two thunder-controlling talismans given by Chen Tianwen also played a vital role. Otherwise, how could Shen Hao still make excuses now.
But not everyone is as lucky as Shen Hao.
As soon as the old doctor left, Wang Jian followed him in with a gloomy face.
"Xiao Qi, seven of the brothers who were on duty last night died, six more were disabled because of the deep Yin Qi entering their bodies. The rest were all slightly injured."
Shen Hao's palm turned a little white when he squeezed it, and it took him a long time to let go. There was no emotion on his face, but his eyes were so cold that people dared not look directly at him.
"Brothers who died in the battle should compile the materials as soon as possible and submit the materials to the guard station for pension procedures according to the rules. In addition, we will also give an extra point of pension in our private account according to the rules. The injured brothers will be transferred to the rear to rest according to the situation. Those who are slightly injured cannot leave.
Also, don’t report what happened last night. Keep it quiet and tell the people below who dare to talk nonsense. I will destroy them. "
"But Xiaoqi, if you don't report it, the pension procedure..."
Shen Hao interrupted: "You don't have to worry about this. I will report the pension process to Mr. Chen Qi privately. What I want is that this matter cannot be known to other banners in the guard house before the sixth day of the lunar month. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Also, it's pointless to ask the people who are chasing you out of the city to gather them back. You can't catch them."
"Why?"
"The opponent's attack on Qi Mansion was not complete. I sent out a call for help at that time, and all the guards from the two gates came to rush for help. I think that guy happened to escape while the city gate was empty. It's weird that we can catch him now that it's bright."
"But..." Wang Jian was unwilling to give in, but he didn't dare to persist when Shen Hao waved his hand. In fact, he also knew that the thief from last night had escaped.
Seeing Wang Jian's anger, Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Things may not be as bad as we thought, and it may not even be a breakthrough in the case."
"Xiaoqi, have you discovered anything?"
