At first, I thought they were the legendary dead souls who could not cross the river and needed to perish here forever. However, when I came into contact with those pairs of blood-red eyes, my heart immediately skipped a beat, and then I realized that they were actually living souls.
Life. When we saw them emerging from the water, and then swimming towards us as fast as possible, Star Demon and I were startled, and subconsciously backed away.
Those things climbed up very quickly. When we retreated more than ten meters, the first one had already crawled out of the water.
I saw that this was a humanoid beast with wet hair all over its body. It was very thin and bony. The hair was stuck in clusters on the wrinkled rough skin. It was lying on all fours. It looked like it was ten years old.
A child who is 6 years old looks like a human and an ape at the same time, his nose is like a bird's beak, and his eyes are cold and bright red, which makes him feel extremely cold and frightening.
Water monkey?
The origin of this thing immediately came to mind in my mind - it is a water monkey, also called the Naihe Monkey. We had encountered it when we were exterminating the Ghost Masked Robe Brotherhood in the ghost town of Fengdu. The little demon once told me,
This thing grows on the edge of the two worlds all year round, feeding on the poisonous insects and ghosts in the river. It has smoldering fire in its belly. Once its life is in danger, it will immediately detonate its body and turn itself into a powerful bomb.
Hate.
This thing is not very powerful. If you give me a ghost sword, I will kill as many as it comes. But if it explodes, it will be extremely troublesome. I don’t have the powerful magic sword of Zamao Xiaodao.
If you don't want to pay attention to the thunder technique, you can only turn around and run for your life at this moment, so you shout at the Star Demon and run wildly.
However, I ran for more than twenty meters and saw no movement behind me. I turned around in surprise and saw that facing dozens of water monkeys rushing towards me, the Star Demon was definitely not moving either.
I shouted loudly towards the girl: "Run quickly, those monkeys have yin fire in their bodies and will explode!"
Thinking of the past scenes of water monkeys exploding and flying with blood and flesh, I felt a panic in my heart. However, Star Demon did not panic and took out a jade piccolo directly from his arms and put it gently to his lips.
It started to play. The sound of the flute was melodious and melodious, like a clear spring flowing through it. After hearing this fairy-like sound, the ferocious expressions on the faces of the originally menacing Naihe apes actually softened little by little and ran wildly.
His body slowed down, and then he squatted beside Star Demon like an apprentice seeking enlightenment. He raised his head and looked at Star Demon innocently, as if he was worshiping the goddess in his heart.
The violent water monkey and the well-behaved apprentice were transformed in just an instant. The star demon was as calm as before, but I ran out wildly. In comparison, I looked so stingy and embarrassed, and I didn't have any master's demeanor at all.
.
After I made sure that the Naihe Apes were not aggressive, I carefully turned back and asked Star Demon: "Do you know how to control these beasts?" Star Demon smiled and moved his lips slightly away from the jade flute.
, smiled at me and said: "What do you think, bringing me with you is not just a burden, right? I can not only play the flute, but my flute-playing skills are also quite good..."
This beauty's words were quite bold and implicit. If I thought less, she would appear too pure, and if I thought too much, she would appear too dirty, so I could only pretend not to hear. It was right. Back then at the Ghost Masked Pao Brother Meeting,
There are also people who know how to control these Naihe Apes. It is not difficult for you, the mighty Twelve Demon Stars, to learn this.
In order to talk to me, Star Demon's delicate red lips slightly left the jade flute. The water monkeys who were so fascinated immediately showed a fierce look, bared their teeth at me, the instigator, and made a loud noise. I didn't dare to talk to their goddess anymore.
To talk to him, he could only wait for the Star Demon to finish playing this melodious music - the scene at that time was very strange. By the turbulent river of life and death, there was an ordinary young man and an ecstatic beauty.
There is a group of water monkeys, as nasty as they look, living here in peace and listening to music that crosses national borders and even the world, and it is a spectacle.
After the song was played, the sound of the flute lingered around the beam for three days. The water monkeys looked fascinated and wished they could just bend down and worship the Star Demon. At this time, the Star Demon smiled proudly at me and muttered a few words.
As soon as he said that, the biggest guy in the lead screamed and pointed in that direction.
Star Demon murmured to these guys for a while, and then turned around and told me that the tree was not far ahead. They were the natives here. They just took us there. You can follow me.
I was a little surprised, saying that you know how to play a flute and control these monkeys. I can understand, but you can still communicate with them. This is really strange. What is the situation?
"Sister Zhiling" had a sweet smile on her face, pointed at her towering chest, and said in her most cooing voice: "Just communicate with your heart, that's all."
Seeing the Star Demon leaving with a hint of a holy smile, surrounded by a bunch of skinny and wretched water monkeys, I really had an illusory feeling. I used to be a life-and-death opponent, but now I can live in peace with each other. Sure enough,
Amazing. When I was hesitating, my butt was suddenly slapped and it was wet. I looked back and saw a water monkey grinning at me and screaming. Listening to the movement, it was obviously unhappy with me and their goddess.
Too close.
Damn it, these beasts actually know how to be jealous? Sure enough, we really can’t treat them like guys who don’t understand anything!
I followed the large army of Naihe Monkeys and continued to move upstream. They are old horses who know the way, constantly listening to the wind to identify their position, and constantly walking through the mist. Moreover, these guys have extremely special physiques, and the cold wind beats them.
Not only that, they can also stack up on top of each other to form a wall for the Star Demon, helping to block wind and rain. As for me, I can only follow behind obediently, and occasionally
Some guys came over and slapped my butt, I don’t know if they were friendly or a warning.
Although I don't like these guys, in order to find the legendary guiding tree, I didn't get angry. I just avoided it whenever I could. I don't know how long I walked, but the strong wind became stronger and crackled on my face.
It hurt like a knife. The Star Demon was protected by the water monkeys, so he was fine. However, the fat bug in my body did not show any signs of weakness. A faint golden light oozed out, eliminating all the knife-like wind.
As we walked quickly through this area, sure enough, the extremely powerful wind suddenly subsided, and the whistling wind in my ears was no longer heard. I looked around, and what I saw was a giant star rising into the sky.
Tree, this tree is a bit like an ancient banyan tree, but the main trunk alone is estimated to be difficult for thousands of people to surround, and the crown of the tree covers dozens or hundreds of miles, constantly hanging down, cutting into trees again, intertwined and connected, almost
It is a forest of trees, and in the space under the shade of the trees, all the strong winds are shielded.
Star Demon stared closely at the dense crown of the tree and whispered: "This is the Jingyin tree. It is really a strange species. It is said that it is like the other shore flower. It blooms in a thousand years and bears fruit in a thousand years."
, the few fruits at the top of the tree crown are said to be formed after absorbing the strong winds of these two worlds. Each one has the terrifying power of Yin thunder, which is called the heart-eating thunder. If it is bombed, the gods will also be affected.
Let’s eat a pot.”
When she said this, I couldn't help but think of Tao Jinhong's appearance as a charcoal seller in western Shanxi when he came out of seclusion. I thought that the heart-eating thunder that Yang Zhi cultivated also came from this tree. It could have been used.
Maoshan was destroyed, but it was a pity that the Zamao Trail cut through the void, and allowed Tao Jinhong to overcome life and death and become an Earth Immortal, thus resolving this disaster.
I asked Star Demon, since that thing is so powerful, why not collect a few and use them as grenades?
Star Demon laughed, looked at me like a country person, and said that if it were really that easy, the world would not be so peaceful. You must know that the balance of heaven and everything has its own rules, such as this fruit, once it matures
After that, they will fall off the branches by themselves, and then fall into the abyss to explode, which is the most dangerous; and it is not easy to pick immature ones. Even the earth immortals at the top of the tree can't adapt to the environment at the top of the tree crown. Only those terrifying creatures from the abyss can.
It's hard to do it, and it's not easy to keep this thing. It will explode at the slightest movement. Not only will it be useless, but you will also be trapped in it.
Although there is no strong wind under the Jieyin tree, it does not mean that it is safe under the shade of the tree with a radius of dozens or hundreds of miles. There are many dangerous natives living here. In addition, there are also people who come and go.
Passers-by from all walks of life will really have a headache if they encounter some bad-tempered people.
There are not many passages to the two realms. Why does the Niutou side control the huge stone bridge but not come to guard here? This is the so-called one public and one private. It is better to block it than to open it up. If all the intersections are blocked, what will happen?
The backlash of the time was absolutely terrifying, and it was not something they could bear. As the Star Demon said this, I was a little more careful and followed Nanahe Mingyuan forward cautiously.
These groups of water monkeys are actually the dominant ones here. They are known to be desperate and don't mess with ordinary characters. The Star Demon made me relax.
However, what we are afraid of is what we are afraid of. Naihe Ape is not omnipotent. When we walked along the huge tree roots towards the opposite side, there was a sudden movement in the shallow river under our feet, and there was a huge black shadow.
He jumped up from there and crashed into the group of monkeys. Star Demon and I were on full alert, and we immediately dodged away. When we looked back, we saw that it was a huge giant snake nearly ten meters tall.
Crocodile.
This guy actually bit two monkeys in one bite, swallowed them directly into his belly with three bites.
