Chapter 322: The gray mist is innocent, but the curse is a disaster
A soul bottle was opened by Luo Hong, and a black ball of light slowly floated out.
This is the demon soul of the mountain-shaking python. Because it has been sealed for nearly two hundred years, the spiritual intelligence of the mountain-shaking python in this group of demon souls has long been completely wiped out. Even the soul power of the demon soul itself has been severely depleted.
.
Basically, in a few decades, it will die naturally.
The mountain-shaking python demon soul did not have any adverse reactions after being exposed to the gray mist. In fact, it had no reaction at all and seemed very dull.
At this time, Luo Hong pinched his fingers, took out a spiritual talisman, and swung his hand towards the mountain-shaking python demon soul.
I saw that this spiritual talisman enveloped the demon soul, and then the talisman lighted up, and the next moment the gray mist around it started to roll up.
The demon soul seemed to have turned into a big mouth, sucking in the surrounding gray mist.
The spiritual talisman that Luo Hong played was none other than the Dayan Talisman that he made by engraving the Dayan Jue.
As long as they don't resist, the soul of the person who is struck by the talisman can fluctuate like the Great Evolution Jue.
Seeing the phenomenon of demon souls devouring the gray fog, Luo Hong's eyes lit up, and he directly confirmed that the gray fog in the Zhongling Mountains was the gray fog from outside the territory, and not some other yin energy.
Nangong Wan and Wuyouzi looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Many Nascent Soul monks had studied and studied the gray mist in the Zhongling Mountains, and found that it was not controlled by spiritual consciousness, not disturbed by magical power, and could not be driven and used at all, so they all returned in despair.
Unexpectedly, Luo Hong could actually control the gray mist.
In fact, this is not their fault, after all, this extraterrestrial gray mist can only be absorbed by the cultivation of the soul.
The most obvious effect of gray fog is to obliterate the mind and suppress spiritual consciousness, so who would dare to stuff it into the soul.
After absorbing the gray mist for a while, the demon soul's soul power increased significantly.
Facts have proved that Luo Hong's previous inference was not wrong. The gray mist outside the territory is the nourishment of the soul.
At this time, due to the previous control variables, it is obvious that the real target of the gray fog is only the intelligence.
In order to figure out what kind of erosion it was, Luo Hong took out another soul-sucking bottle.
What is contained here is the demon soul of a hundred-eyed monster. It has only been sealed for decades, and most of its intelligence is still retained.
As soon as Luo Hong opened the bottle, a green ball of light flew out, obviously trying to escape.
But what's interesting is that this group of monster souls with hundreds of eyes rushed out less than a foot before it suddenly stopped and then tried its best to get into the soul bottle.
Naturally, Luo Hong couldn't let it succeed, so the invisible consciousness surged out and built a physical barrier around him, directly imprisoning the hundred-eyed monster soul in a small space.
At first, the hundred-eyed monster spirit attacked Luo Hong's consciousness barrier fiercely and uncontrollably, but after repeatedly hitting the wall, it soon calmed down.
After all, it has lived in the soul bottle for decades, and has long been accustomed to similar situations.
The reaction of the hundred-eyed monster soul fully proved that something in the gray mist was harming it, but it could not be seen that it was strange just by observing it with the naked eye and spiritual consciousness.
Luo Hong was sure that something existed, but he couldn't find it now, which meant that the other party was beyond the scope of his current observation methods, or that it was too small to detect the limit of his observation.
The former is a flaw and cannot be solved in a short time, but Luo Hong has a solution for the latter.
As soon as the physical examination form comes out, all the evil spirits and monsters will be exposed.
After inspection, Luo Hong discovered that there were extremely small fluctuations on the surface of the hundred-eyed monster soul.
Not only are these fluctuations tiny, but they are also mixed with the normal fluctuations of the demon soul itself, making them difficult to detect with normal means.
In other words, these tiny fluctuations can wipe out the intelligence in the demon soul.
On the other hand, can the changes in the demon soul's intelligence affect the fluctuations?
If a problem arises, go and verify it. It is very simple to change your spiritual intelligence. Luo Hong focused his eyes, cast an extremely passionate spell, and threw it on the hundred-eyed monster soul.
As one can imagine, the ferocity that had been suppressed suddenly burst out even more violently.
But because Luo Hong narrowed the inner space of the barrier of consciousness, the hundred-eyed monster soul could not move no matter how ferocious it was.
After applying the Extreme Emotion Curse, the fluctuations have been significantly strengthened, and now its existence can be detected with the naked eye.
After getting this result, Luo Hong only had one last question left: the relationship between the fluctuation of the demon soul and the gray fog.
With a slight wave of his hand, he took back the Dayan Talisman, and then erased the useless mountain-shaking python demon soul with a thought.
With a flick of his finger, the Dayan Talisman enveloped the Hundred-Eyed Monster Soul again, and the gray mist also began to gather towards the Hundred-Eyed Monster Soul.
Through the observation data, the fluctuation amplitude was significantly increased in the initial stage, but it soon became stable. No matter how the hundred-eyed monster soul absorbed the gray fog, there was no obvious change.
"In other words, only the concentration of fog will affect the amplitude, but the fog itself will not."
After secretly coming to the conclusion in his mind, Luo Hong took out several Dayan Talismans of different levels and verified them, confirming this.
Interesting! Judging from the results of the experiment, there is an imperceptible spell that is spreading with the help of gray fog!
If you find the source of the spell, you can figure out the cause of the changes in the Zhongling Mountains.
After knowing what he was doing, Luo Hong put away the things and said to the two people who had no idea what he was doing:
"Okay, let's go."
"Fellow Daoist Luo, can you tell us what you were doing just now?
Of course, if it involves fellow Taoist secrets, you don’t have to say anything. I just think you are very weird and don’t mean any harm."
Nangong Wan frowned and said, Luo Hong gave her not only a strange feeling, but also a deep uneasiness.
She had an inexplicable intuition that the other person would cause big trouble one day, and she secretly thought that it would be better for her to have less contact with him in the future.
"It's just to test a way to protect one's sanity in the depths of the gray fog. It may not be used."
Luo Hong's words were true. The intensity of the spells in the gray fog was affected by the concentration of the gray fog. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he threw out a bunch of souls without intelligence, and then attached the Dayan Talisman to let them escape.
It surrounds itself and absorbs the gray mist, thus naturally reducing the impact of the spell.
Neither of them believed it, but they didn't ask any more questions.
Later, Luo Hong dismissed Xiao Cuier, Wuyouzi also ordered the middle-aged Taoist priests to return, and the three monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul advanced into the depths of the mountains together.
For the same reason as Luo Hong before, the three of them just flew away at low altitude and low speed on the treetops.
Nie Ying's accident happened in an area four hundred miles deep into the gray fog, which can only be regarded as the junction between the outer and inner parts of the mountain range, and the three people's goals were all in the core area of the mountain range.
In other words, they have to go at least a thousand miles deeper into the gray fog.
As it gets closer to the core area, the concentration of the gray mist continues to increase, but it has not yet reached the level of affecting the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
Therefore, what Wuyouzi and Nangong Wan are mainly wary of are evil things that may exist and can threaten monks in the Nascent Soul stage.
Luo Hong knew very well that in such an environment, it was basically impossible for such evil things to appear.
When he determined that the gray mist here was the gray mist from outside the territory, he confirmed that the true nature of those evil things were those extraterrestrial demons that he had previously tricked into refining the demon pill.
The reason why the auras of these extraterrestrial demons changed so much that Luo Hong didn't recognize them at first glance was probably also due to the influence of the spells in the gray mist.
Of course, it may also be due to the different environments in the human world.
However, these are not important. The limits of this kind of extraterrestrial demon will only affect the monks in the alchemy stage.
This is also the reason why Luo Hong stopped refining the Heavenly Demon Pill after refining the fourth level of Dayan Jue.
According to previous research, the extraterrestrial demons are a race with naturally powerful souls but insufficient spiritual intelligence. The key to improving their strength lies in spiritual intelligence.
However, the spells in the gray mist will destroy spiritual intelligence, so there cannot be the existence of Nascent Soul-level extraterrestrial demons.
At least that was the case before entering the core area. Luo Hong was very confident about this.
After flying a hundred miles away, Luo Hong's consciousness was suppressed to the extent that it could only cover a radius of eighty miles.
Wuyouzi and Nangong Wan were even more unbearable and could only explore the surrounding area of twenty to thirty miles.
So, when Luo Hong discovered that a large number of ghosts were coming towards them, the two of them were unaware of it.
"Fellow Taoists, we are in trouble."
Luo Hong suddenly stopped and reminded him.
There were a large number of incoming ghosts, and there were also evil things mixed in. Although Luo Hong was not afraid, he did not want to deal with them alone and let these two watch the show.
After checking with his spiritual sense, Wuyouzi couldn't help sensing any foreign objects, and couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.
On the contrary, Nangong Wan, who knew Luo Hong's methods, did not sense the enemy's situation, but decisively sacrificed the Vermillion Bird Ring.
Just as Wuyouzi was about to say something, the auras of a large number of ghosts suddenly appeared within the range of his consciousness. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his movements were not slow and he held out a purple-gold round bowl.
Not long after, a group of ghosts came from all directions like a wave, and the momentum was extremely huge.
However, the three people present were all Nascent Soul stage monks, and Yin Gui's strength was only equivalent to that of low-level monks. No matter how many there were, they could not be frightened.
The Silver Spirit Eye is a weapon that can lead to victory in a sneak attack. The less people know about it, the better the effect will be when used at critical moments. Luo Hong didn't want to reveal it to others, so he raised a red flag.
It is the fire element flag in the Five Elements Flag!
When the ghosts surged a hundred feet away, the three of them began to show their magical powers.
Nangong Wan has a gentle temperament and an air of immortality, but when she strikes, she is extremely ruthless.
I saw the Suzaku Ring spinning around, and the fire suddenly turned into a fire wheel. Then it turned again, and countless red fireballs shot out from the fire wheel!
Each of these fireballs was the size of a millstone, blasting holes in the ghost tide.
The purple-gold round bowl sacrificed by Wuyouzi was a wind-attribute magic weapon. When the magic power was activated, a burst of purple-gold hot wind blew out. The ghosts involved in it could not hold on for a breath and disappeared.
As Luo Hong pinched the magic spells in his hand, the fire flag became aura, and the next moment several ten-foot-long fire dragons flew out.
The power of the intermediate and high-level spells Luo Hong cast under the amplification of the Fire Flag was close to that of high-level spells, and the evil spirits would naturally kill as many as they came.
Due to the low pressure, Wuyouzi paid great attention to Luo Hong, the new Supreme Elder of Huang Maple Valley. After seeing his methods, he spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Luo is so good at Five Elements spells, it's easy to kill these ghosts.
But Pindao is also very confident in his magic weapon. This trip is boring, how about you and I make a bet?"
Good guy, it turns out that Qingxu Sect’s gambling style is rooted in you!
All joking aside, Luo Hong actually knew very well that this Niubi wanted to take the opportunity to give him a show of strength. Who made Huang Maple Valley and Qingxu Sect have similar strengths?
"Friend Wuyouzi is really interested. Luo is happy to accompany you. I wonder how you want to gamble?"
If someone is willing to give money, Luo Hong will not refuse. If he does not respond to such temptations, he will never stop.
Nangong Wan glanced at the two of them, shook her head incomprehensibly, and then pointed at the Suzaku Ring to increase the speed of its fireball launch.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, fellow Taoist Luo, your quick words are very gentle to the heart of a poor Taoist.
You and I will compare the power of the two magic weapons at hand to see who can kill more ghosts.
You, Huang Maple Valley, and I, the Qingxu Sect, have been friends for generations, so the bet shouldn’t be too heavy. Let’s do this. If anyone loses, how about coming to the door and presenting a calligraphy and painting?”
Wuyouzi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
This Taoist priest is so hypocritical!
He made this bet just to offend me and increase the prestige of his Qingxu Sect.
Luo Hong was about to accept the bet so that the other party would know how powerful he was, but suddenly he heard a long roar coming from deep in the mountains.
The three of them all had stern expressions on their faces, and each of them took back their magic weapons and stood on guard.
Strangely, the ghosts, who were originally fearless and did not know what fear was, all started running around in fear like mice seeing a cat.
In just a few breaths, the mighty group of ghosts dispersed.
"Fairy Nangong, did you hear it just now? That should be the voice of the human race. Could it be that there are immortal cultivators deep in the Zhongling Mountains?"
Wuyouzi suddenly gave up the idea of betting and said solemnly.
"Just a whistle can't prove anything. The other party may be a human or a more powerful evil spirit."
Nangong Wan was very cautious. Even if a human monk did appear in such a mysterious forbidden place, most of the visitors would be evil.
Not to mention, the other party may not be a human at all!
"The roar helped us scare away the wave of ghosts. It is more likely to be a friend than an enemy. Pindao thought it was time to go and find out.
Fellow Daoist Luo, why are you silent? What do you think?"
After Wuyouzi made some inferences, he was also worried that this was a trap. After hesitation, he wanted to hear Luo Hong's opinion.
"It's such a pity that our bet has been ruined."
Looking at the direction where the ghost ghosts dispersed, Luo Hong sighed and shook his head, seeming very regretful.
How could this Luo Hong be more gambling than me, a Taoist priest!
It's a pity that he is the supreme elder of Huang Maple Valley, otherwise he might not be able to form a sworn friend with me, a Taoist priest.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, if it doesn't work this time, you and I can try again next time.
The matter of the Zhongling Mountain Range is the top priority!"
After Wuyouzi made a slander, he looked slightly worried.
"The whistling sound comes from the core area. It needs to be explored, but it cannot be avoided.
Luo has no other choice but to be as careful as possible."
Luo Hong said this on the surface, but actually knew in his heart:
This roar and the spell come from the same source!
