The bigger reason why she advised Zhou Yang not to keep ghost servants in captivity was because she was afraid that she would be besieged by other immortal cultivators after the news was exposed.
It's not because she has a strong sense of justice and cannot tolerate any evil.
Because Zhou Yang knew this very well, he easily convinced her by "prescribing the right medicine".
It's just that it's easy to convince Xiao Ying, but it's difficult, or impossible, to cover up the fluctuations caused by Xu Song's formation of pills.
As Xu Song began to formally form the elixir, he originally set up a formation to seal off the Yin Qi in the "Three Yin Jedi". Because the impact of the celestial phenomena of the elixir had failed, the rolling Yin energy was no longer restrained. In addition, the formation of the elixir brought about
With the sudden change, the Yin Qi surged out, dyeing a large area of ​​surrounding water into an inky black color.
If it hadn't been for the dark wind that cleared the area earlier, which had already harvested all the fish, shrimps and crabs in the surrounding waters, the water would probably be filled with fish carcasses at this time.
And with such a big movement, it would be difficult not to attract the attention of other people outside the village.
You must know that ghosts are the mortal enemies of all living things. Even monsters naturally hate and reject these things that bring death and destruction to the outside of the village.
After discovering that the Yin Qi was permeating the area, those low-level monsters were, to say the least, afraid of the aura of high-level ghosts emitted when Xu Song began to form pills. They did not dare to have any intention of getting close, and even ran away like panicked birds.
Already.
However, some mid-level and high-level monsters instead waded into the air and surrounded them aggressively, apparently preparing to attack in groups.
Mid-level and high-level monsters are more or less intelligent. When faced with existences such as human monks or ghosts, unless there is a blood feud between the two parties, they can put aside some racial antagonisms and jointly deal with foreign enemies.
"Ying'er, just protect yourself, your husband will deal with these beasts!"
Zhou Yang looked at the monster beasts surrounding him from all directions, his face became solemn, and he told the Taoist monks around him with a serious face.
Xiao Ying is not good at fighting, and she doesn't like killing. It's not a last resort, and Zhou Yang doesn't want to force her to do these things that go against her own heart.
Fortunately, the martial arts and supernatural powers she practiced were very good at defense, and the magic weapons in her hands were also exquisite. Zhou Yang was not worried that something would happen to her under his nose.
Therefore, after giving Xiao Ying a few words, he reached out and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, released the golden-winged thunder eagle that had not come out for air for a long time, and then let the golden-winged thunder eagle carry Xiao Ying around, and he was alone
The single sword cleared away the approaching monsters.
With Zhou Yang's current strength, unless he encounters a high-grade fourth-order dragon monster, even if there are several ordinary fourth-order monsters attacking together, they won't be enough to kill him.
Although the Black Cloud Swamp is also a place where monster beasts gather, after all, unlike the Duanyun Mountains and the Wild Jungle, it is a completely restricted area for humans. Although there are also high-level monsters, the number is not too large.
Human monks would not want to see Black Cloud Swamp turn into another Broken Cloud Mountain Range. This place does not have the conditions to become Broken Cloud Mountain Range. Level five monsters are the limit that a place like Black Cloud Swamp can support.
Therefore, all the monsters that are promoted to the fifth level in the Black Cloud Swamp, except for a very few monsters who can't tell the situation like a dumbass, most of the fifth-level monsters will disappear immediately after being promoted.
.
They either leave the Black Cloud Swamp directly to find another place to live, or they hide in the deep water area deep in the swamp and do not surface easily to avoid being discovered by human monks and attracting the suppression of human Golden Core monks.
kill.
Human monks can tolerate monsters below the fifth level to thrive here, providing a place for the younger monks and many casual cultivators in the sect family to gain experience, and at the same time, continue to harvest some monster materials.
But we will never tolerate the presence of fifth-level monsters here, which will bring dangers of destruction to the family and sect.
In this way, despite frequent cleaning by human monks, the number of monsters at all levels in the Black Cloud Swamp has always been controlled within a certain range, and there will be no big fluctuations.
Therefore, although the momentum caused by Xu Song's formation of pills is quite a lot, the number of fourth-order monsters that can be attracted is not too many. Only a few monsters that are close to him come to check the situation.
When Zhou Yang took action with his sword and quickly killed a fourth-level monster and several third-level monsters with thunderous means, the remaining monsters were frightened by his strength and retreated thousands of feet to avoid them.
He didn't dare to come forward easily and die.
Zhou Yang did not chase these monsters, and in a place like Black Cloud Swamp, it would be difficult for him, who was not good at water fighting, to catch up with these aquatic monsters who wanted to escape.
So the two sides faced off from afar.
After this confrontation for nearly half an hour, the situation took a new turn with the arrival of a powerful monster.
hiss!
A sharp snake hissing sound was heard, and a black demon python that was five to sixty feet in length suddenly emerged from the water. A pair of cold snake eyes looked coldly at Zhou Yang in the sky, with murderous intent evident in its eyes.
This monster python has a cultivation level of up to the fourth level, and it is difficult to encounter an opponent in the black cloud swamp. This time it sensed the movement of Xu Song's elixir formation and rushed over, hoping to devour him at the moment when Xu Song's elixir formation was in danger.
Then take advantage of the situation and attack the fifth level.
As for whether swallowing the ghost's golden elixir will affect his own practice, the demon python has obviously not considered this matter.
It is a ferocious beast that has evolved by devouring other monsters and human monks. It is following the path of killing and evolution. As long as it can improve its own strength, it will not care about anything else.
So as soon as it appeared, it immediately launched an attack on Zhou Yang.
This demonic python seemed to have some dragon blood, and its ability to control water was very good. Under its control, the lake water instantly turned into countless water pillars, water arrows, and water guns and shot towards Zhou Yangzan.
These attacks don't seem very powerful, even a third-level monster can take many of them, but the number is endless, and the mana consumption of the monster python is extremely low.
Just by maintaining this level of attack, it can last for days and nights without stopping.
As soon as Zhou Yang saw this, he knew that this monster python must have been hiding in the dark and watched his battle with other monsters, and then chose to use this consumption tactic to consume his own mana.
And naturally he would not let this demon python get his wish.
I saw that he immediately waved his sleeves and sacrificed the "Heavenly Thunder Horn" magical weapon, and then made a seal with both hands and directly used the magical power of "Soul Transformation" to summon the "Canglan Cloud Tiger".
roar!
As soon as the Canglan Cloud Tiger Weapon Soul appeared, it roared and rushed towards the demonic python in the water.
The Canglan Cloud Tiger itself is also an amphibious monster. Its water combat ability is not weaker than that of any monster. The thunder and lightning power it possesses makes it quite capable of restraining aquatic monsters.
However, the demon python is a fourth-level high-grade demon beast, and Canglan Yunhu alone cannot possibly be its opponent.
Therefore, Zhou Yang quickly used the "Thousand Blade Disc" magical weapon, which also activated the magical weapon "Thousand Blades to Cut", causing countless silver flying blades to turn into a whirlwind of blades and blow towards the monster python.
Encountering double fierce attacks in succession, the demon python had to show its true skills.
Hiss~
It opened its mouth and let out a long hiss, and a black aura suddenly appeared on its body. This ink-black aura was as thick as a cloud and wrapped around the demon python. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was an ink cloud.
This jet-black aura has extremely strong defensive power. The thunder and lightning magical power released by Canglan Yunhu hit it, but the aura just flickered and lost its effect.
The blade whirlwind formed by the "Thousand Blade Disk" can break through the black aura defense, but after the blade breaks through this layer of aura defense, it will not be able to break through the hard scale defense of the demon python.
However, the magical power of the ink-black spiritual light of the demon python is similar to the "Golden Sun Light" magical power mastered by Zhou Yang. As long as the magic power is not exhausted, it can heal and recover immediately after being defeated.
And not only is its defense powerful, the demon python is also very powerful in attack when it really takes action.
Its huge python body moved and swam in the water with agility that was completely inconsistent with its body. After a few swims, it wrapped around the Canglan Cloud Tiger that kept attacking it. Then the python's body tightened and it was instantly killed. The soul of the Canglan Cloud Tiger was strangled and returned to the "Heavenly Thunder Horn".
"Sword formation, unite!"
A low shout rang out, but it was Zhou Yang who took advantage of the demon python to fight with the Canglan Cloud Tiger and used the secret skill of "Liuhe Heavenly Sword".
I saw the red giant sword falling from the sky, hitting the demon python that had just strangled the Canglan Cloud Tiger.
Under the giant sword that fell from the sky, most of the dark aura on the demon python's body collapsed after just a slight resistance. Even the extremely hard scales were shattered in an instant, and bright red snake blood flowed out.
But what surprised Zhou Yang was that the demon python actually withstood his sword and was not cut into two pieces by the sword as he thought.
Moreover, his sword seemed to have completely aroused the demon's ferocity. After the demon python was struck by the red giant sword, instead of running away, it entangled the red giant sword and twisted it fiercely. It actually killed the red giant on the spot. The giant sword was scattered and restored into twelve "Dayan Divine Light Swords".
"What a bastard, it seems I can't do it without some real skills!"
Zhou Yang's face was startled, and then his eyes darkened, as if he could use his hands to make a seal, he would use the "Qian Yang Divine Thunder" to help him fight.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly rumbled with thunder in advance.
He looked up and saw that dark clouds had gathered over the battlefield at some point. There were lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, and it was obvious that a thunderstorm was about to fall.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang was shocked, and his face changed so much that he couldn't help but blurt out: "Damn it, could it be that I really guessed it!"
Boom!
As if to prove Zhou Yang's words, a thick thunder suddenly fell from the sky, split into two, and struck directly towards him and the demon python.
Due to the dispersed power, the attack power of this sky thunder is equivalent to that of an ordinary fourth-level low-grade thunder spell, and it can't do anything to Zhou Yang and the demon python.
But this is a very bad signal.
I saw the demon python that was originally injured by Zhou Yang and became furious. Now it was like a frightened little snake. After resisting the thunderous strike, it immediately burrowed its head down and plunged directly into the deep water. and disappeared on the lake.
As a monster native to Black Cloud Swamp, the monster python obviously knows better than Zhou Yang how to avoid thunder bombardment.
