This is a golden signal that is only used in very emergencies.
Zhao Yongqi quickly walked out of the camp.
It was discovered that the great elder and Quan Yongchang were already outside.
"Senior Quan, look..." Zhao Yongqi looked towards the direction where the signal came from, with a worried look in his eyes.
Quan Yongchang understood what he meant and said concisely: "Go and have a look."
Say it.
He then waved his hand and wrapped Zhao Yongqi into a cyan light, flying away in the direction of the message.
In southern Xinjiang.
Only monks at the foundation level and above can safely fly short distances. Ordinary Qi Refining Stage monks will not take the initiative to fly easily. Because the danger in the air is much greater than on land, many demon birds that are in the Qi training stage like to appear in groups.
The monk is in the air during the Qi refining period.
Facing these groups of demonic birds, there is no way to fight back, and they are completely a living target.
soon.
Zhao Yongqi was taken to the place where the signal came from by Quan Yongchang.
It was a camp with about three to five hundred people. More than a dozen tents were gathered together, guarding the middle tent of the Zhao family monks who were stationed there.
Just approaching the camp.
Zhao Yongqi felt an unusual aura.
quiet.
Very quiet.
In southern Xinjiang, where poisonous insects like this can be seen everywhere, the chirping of insects and birds can be heard one after another even during the day; but there is a vacuum around the dozens of camps, except for the "rustling" on the branches and leaves stepped by Zhao Yongqi and Quan Yongchang. "Sound, there is no sound around.
Quan Yongchang and Zhao Yongqi did not directly enter the camp to check.
They first walked around the camp.
Due to the strict jurisdiction of the Zhao family and the danger of southern Xinjiang, mortals of the Zhao family would not wander around easily, so there were no people nearby to watch. But this only revealed the strangeness of the camp.
The signal obviously came from this camp.
But no one was seen.
It feels like...
It was like a camp that had been abandoned for a long time, with overgrown vegetation and lush foliage.
Walking to the main entrance of the camp, Zhao Yongqi suddenly changed his expression. He took out a red and yellow talisman from his arms. He saw that the red and yellow talisman was glowing red, visible to the naked eye, starting to slowly burn from the corner of the talisman.
"Is it ghostly or weird?"
What Zhao Yongqi holds in his hand is the "Exorcist Talisman".
The exorcism talisman is casually named "exorcism", but in fact it can only get rid of the lowest level of ghosts. If there are powerful ghosts nearby, the exorcism talisman will start to spontaneously ignite, warning that there is danger nearby.
According to the speed at which the apotropaic charm burns.
The strength scope of the danger source can be initially estimated.
What Zhao Yongqi could notice, Quan Yongchang, the foundation-building monk, would naturally not fail to notice. He looked a little solemn and said: "I'll go in and take a look. You wait for me here."
Zhao Yongqi nodded in agreement.
He knew that it would be useless to go in, so he might as well wait for news outside.
Quan Yongchang walked towards the camp.
at the same time.
A magical weapon that looked like a long tree branch appeared above his head, casting down streaks of clear light on Quan Yongchang's body. Every time Quan Yongchang took a step, he would leave a conspicuous black footprint on the spot, but he didn't know what the magical effect was.
After Quan Yongchang entered.
Just in case.
Zhao Yongqi retreated a lot further until the exorcism talisman stopped burning.
It takes about half a stick of incense.
The great elder finally arrived with four or five Zhao family monks.
"Clan leader, what's going on here?" Several monks guarded Zhao Yong in the middle, and the elder asked doubtfully.
"Senior Quan is inside, wait for him to come out."
Zhao Yongqi himself didn't understand what was going on. He couldn't tell the reason. He asked, "Great Elder, do you know who the monks stationed here are?"
The Zhao family only needs to be adult monks with good cultivation.
They were all sent to garrison in various places in the world. The great elder was the one who arranged the garrison tasks. He replied: "If I remember correctly, it should be a person under Deacon Zhao Chongliu. His name is Zhao Chongyuan. He was promoted to the fifth level of Qi training not long ago. .”
"Did something happen to him?" The great elder was suddenly startled.
"I don't know yet." Zhao Yongqi shook his head slightly.
Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that the situation is very doomed.
While the two were talking.
Sudden.
The black footprints left by Quan Yongchang emitted a dazzling ink light, and then the figure above the footprints flickered, and Quan Yongchang appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Senior Quan, are you okay?"
Zhao Yongqi was shocked when he saw that the branch above Quan Yongchang's head had turned into two halves, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
This is a problem that even the foundation-building monks cannot solve.
Then the Zhao family is really helpless.
"It's nothing serious." Quan Yongchang's face was slightly pale, but after a green light flashed across his body, his originally messy appearance suddenly became tidy. He looked at Zhao Yongqi and sighed: "Chief Zhao, we may be in big trouble. ”
"Senior Quan, should we talk somewhere else?"
Zhao Yongqi glanced behind Quan Yongchang, and when he saw that nothing was catching up, he asked cautiously.
"It won't come after me."
Quan Yongchang knew what Zhao Yongqi was worried about and said: "That place has become its temporary 'domain'. If it dares to step out of that territory, it will really seek death."
"I see."
Zhao Yongqi suddenly realized that no wonder Quan Yongchang's expression became much more relaxed after leaving the camp. He then asked: "I wonder what is going on in this camp. Are the people who originally lived in the camp still there?"
"All dead."
Quan Yongchang said slowly: "I wonder if Patriarch Zhao has ever heard of 'Demon in the Dream'?"
"Dream demon?"
Upon hearing the news of the deaths of so many people, especially a monk among them, Zhao Yongqi's face became a little heavy.
This is the first time a monk has died in the Zhao family.
It's very bad news.
He pondered for a moment, regained his composure, and then looked at the eldest elder and the rest of the Zhao family. When he saw them, they all shook their heads, and then said: "Junior, I don't know, so please ask the senior to clarify my doubts."
"It's normal that you don't know. The demon in the dream is neither human nor demon nor ghost. It has no physical form. It is a weird thing that is born in the wild."
Quan Yongchang and the Zhao family are neither relatives nor friends.
But without much complicated thoughts, he looked in the direction of the camp from a distance and said softly: "As the name suggests."
"The dream demon is born in sleep, and kills people invisible in dreams. It would be okay if it was destroyed just after it was born. Once too many people die in the hands of the dream demon, it becomes a climate, and it will be difficult for ordinary monks to exterminate it."
"This dream demon killed more than 300 people at night, and there was even a monk among them. Now the camp has become its dream realm. Unless there is a magical weapon specially designed to deal with such illusory things, it will be extremely difficult to deal with it. .”
Listen to Quan Yongchang’s explanation.
Everyone also roughly understands what the "dream devil" is.
Zhao Yongqi thought for a moment and said, "What if we ignore this demon in the dream and leave here directly?"
The Zhao family encountered many casualties while on the road, and usually ignored the evil spirits that were difficult to deal with. This was the normal way to deal with things.
In the final analysis, the Zhao family is still too weak.
