The sky was dark, covered with dark clouds, and a few rain stars dropped from time to time.
The Zhuangzi is a dilapidated scene, as if it has been in disrepair for a long time. The walls are covered with dark brown moss. The moss is twisted and weird, like pieces of flesh and blood, intertwined.
Looking into the village, I can see some figures wandering around.
If you get closer carefully, you will be shocked to find that these wandering figures are actually rotten corpses, wandering aimlessly in the ruins.
The entire Zhuangzi is filled with strong evil spirits and evil spirits. Ordinary people, even if they only stay for a short time, will be eroded by these evil spirits, damage their roots, and eventually die of madness.
Somewhere in a dark corner.
Several figures are crouching here quietly, carefully observing the wandering corpses, and whenever the corpses pass by, they immediately hide back in the gaps.
They were wearing yellow Yuantian Guard uniforms, and they were clearly a Yuantian Guard team.
In the farthest corner of the crowd, squatted a petite girl. She pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword and remained still. Her breathing rate was also reduced to a minimum. She was in a hiding state to hide her aura, but she could be exposed at any time.
Take action.
The girl is none other than Chen Yao.
Corpses were wandering outside. Chen Yao could vaguely see the wandering rotting corpses through the gaps in the stones. She felt a little chilly in her heart, and her eyes were even colder.
This Quanling Villa was originally a village with hundreds of households, but it was bloodbathed by monsters half a month ago. The people in the village were not able to evacuate in time, and all of them were killed.
Originally, the matter should have ended here, but just one day ago, Yuan Tianwei received news that a hunter said that he saw a figure wandering in Quanling Manor from a distance, and the evil spirit and evil spirit were extremely strong.
Dare to get close, so a small team was immediately dispatched to investigate and deal with it.
After quietly entering Zhuangzi, I encountered rotten corpses wandering around.
Logically speaking, these rotting corpses should not be mobile, nor do they seem to be controlled by evil spirits. Everyone did not know the situation, so they chose to temporarily hide in the periphery, and the captain personally conducted an in-depth investigation.
Chen Yao would rather fight a bloody battle with the monster than crawl into this corner filled with rancid smell and evil spirit, but at this time, she could only endure it no matter what.
"By the way, how is the second brother doing now..."
Chen Yao suddenly thought of Chen Mu and murmured in her heart.
When Chen Mu left Kyoto that day, she had already joined the Yuantian Guard and was unable to say goodbye to Chen Mu. However, she finally learned the news that Chen Mu and Yan Hanyu, the master of the martial arts temple, were going to Youzhou to support him.
Qingzhou is located in the hinterland of Yuan Dynasty, adjacent to Yuzhou where Kyoto is located. The situation of monster chaos is not very serious, and there are only some scattered monsters.
Moreover, there is a large population here and martial arts are popular. There are nearly twenty masters living in Qingzhou alone. Whenever a demonic chaos appears, it will be quickly extinguished.
As a result, the current scene in Qingzhou has not changed much compared to the past.
The people of Li are still farming and hunting, and living their normal lives with the sun rising and setting.
In the days since Chen Yao was dispatched to Qingzhou, she only fought against monsters once. The rest of the time she spent on honing her martial will and working hard to reach the sixth level of martial arts step by step.
It was her second action to come to Quanling Mansion to investigate.
In comparison, Youzhou is located in the far north of the Yuan Dynasty. It is remote and sparsely populated. The situation of demon chaos must be much more dangerous than that of Qingzhou. I wonder what Chen Mu encountered there.
However, with the personal protection of Yan Hanyu, the master of the martial arts temple, even if he encounters some danger, he should be able to avert the danger... Thinking of this, Chen Yao didn't know who to envy for a moment.
After all, she admired both of them very much.
It's a pity that Chen Mu is too young. Otherwise, if she could have a long-lasting love with Yan Hanyu and marry Yan Hanyu as her sister-in-law, she would be in favor.
I thought so in my heart.
suddenly.
Chen Yao's thoughts suddenly converged, and her eyes suddenly focused.
I saw a figure scurrying quickly, coming from a distance, bypassing several wandering corpses, and landed in a corner where a few people were hiding, and made a 'silence' gesture.
It is Dong Chen, the captain of this team, who is also a member of Yuan Tianwei. He has a sixth-level martial arts cultivation and is the only martial artist among the people who has reached the sixth level.
After signaling everyone to silence.
Dong Chen carefully looked outside and saw that no rotting corpses were disturbed, and that the nearest rotting corpses were slowly wandering away. Then he took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Everyone, listen to me. There is a dead old tree in the center of this village. There is a huge gray silk cocoon under the old tree. I suspect that the silk cocoon is the source of these rotting corpses. It is some kind of witchcraft.
Among them, these rotting corpses are controlled to wander around."
"Silk cocoon?"
Chen Yao frowned slightly.
Dong Chen suppressed his voice and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, that silk cocoon gave me a very bad feeling. I always felt that something terrible was being nurtured inside. If I guessed correctly, there should be a nirvana and transformation inside.
The demon may even be transforming into a great demon!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
Transform into a great demon!
That was an existence comparable to a third-grade martial arts master. It was extremely far away from them, and its terrifying level was far beyond their reach.
But everyone was Yuan Tianwei's warrior. Although they were frightened, they did not panic. One of them immediately whispered: "Monsters of this level are not something we can deal with. Should we evacuate first or separate one of us?"
Report the situation, and others will continue to guard here?"
Dong Chen slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.
Then he opened his eyes again, a frightening light flashed in his eyes, and said: "When a monster transforms, it is also the weakest time. Now this monster has not yet completed its transformation, and it does not have the power to transform at all, and
This demon still transforms into a silk cocoon, and the weak one will be even more powerful."
After hearing Dong Chen's words, several other people showed a hint of shock.
Chen Yao also flashed her eyes and said, "What do you mean..."
"Kill it!"
Dong Chen's eyes showed a trace of evil spirit.
When he was young, when he went out with his family, he was blocked by a tiger demon. His parents, siblings, and others died in the tiger's mouth. Only he was saved by a warrior at the last moment. His hatred for the monster far exceeded that of the others.
Man, he practices martial arts not to pursue the supreme martial arts, but to slay demons!
"This... Master Baihu, we are only at the seventh level. Even if you are only at the sixth level, even if the monster is as you judge, it is extremely weak when it transforms. I am afraid that there must be a fifth level here to make it possible.
Eradicate it."
The person next to me couldn't help but screamed in shock.
If it is transforming to the level of transformation, it means that the original strength is already in an inhuman state comparable to the fourth level of martial arts. Even if it is extremely weak during the transformation process, I am afraid that it is not something that warriors below the fifth level can deal with. Their team still has
You can't reach that level.
Dong Chen said slowly: "This place is located in a mountain valley. To get out, you have to climb over the mountains first. It takes two days to get to the nearest Anping County. If you encounter any accidents, it will be much slower. It is very likely that you will have to go back and forth.
It will take four or five days, which is too long. By the time reinforcements arrive, the opportunity may have been missed."
"Furthermore, there are only a few fifth-grade people in charge in Anping County. If we continue to report to the top level and wait for the fourth-grade or grandmaster to be dispatched, the delay will be even longer. Once this monster has truly completed its transformation, it can escape deep into the mountains and forests.
, then it will be too late.”
Speaking of which.
Dong Chen looked directly at a few people and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to take action, but this matter is beyond the scope of responsibility of our team, so you don't have to obey the order. If you want to evacuate, you can leave now and go back.
Report this matter."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone suddenly fell silent. You looked at me, and I looked at you.
Not all of them are like Dong Chen. Some of them are Yuan Tianwei who join to pursue martial arts, and some of them are knighted for their meritorious service.
Although the incident before us is extremely dangerous, it is indeed an opportunity. If we can really interrupt the transformation of a monster and kill it, it will be a great achievement!
In silence.
Chen Yao suddenly smiled softly, with light shining in his eyes: "It sounds very interesting. Mr. Dong, can you tell me your plan?"
She knew that although Dong Chen, a Baihu man, had a fierce personality, he was rough and tactful, and was not reckless. He must be certain that he could make such a decision.
If Dong Chen is confident, then she wouldn't mind helping him.
This is a great demon in disguise!
Although the transformation has not been completed, it is already in the process of transformation. If it can be killed, it will be no different from killing a real transformed demon!
Even Chen Mu would be hard-pressed to threaten a monster of this level. If she could kill one here, she would be able to hold her head high when she sees Chen Mu next time.
and.
Although her realm is not as good as Dong Chen's, she still has the means at her disposal. With Chen Mu's Dao Talisman, one blow can be enough to kill a fifth-grade warrior. It is just right to use it at this time!
Although Dao Talismans are precious, if you accomplish the feat of slaying the transformed demon, it will be easy to exchange them for new Dao Talismans from the imperial court, and you can even exchange them for higher-grade fourth-grade Dao Talismans.
The only thing that makes me a little bit reluctant is that this Taoist talisman of mine was made by Chen Mu himself.
"The plan is very simple. I have a Thunder Jade Exploding Arrow on my body. It is very powerful. Even if a fifth-grade warrior is in front of me, I have to stay out of the way. The monster is forming a cocoon and transforming. It is inevitable to avoid it. It must be strong.
If you take one hit, you will be severely injured even if you don't die."
"If you all have similar ones, then use them together. If you can really eradicate this monster, let alone the title and merits, even if it is a Taoist talisman, the court will reward it."
Dong Chen said.
When these words came out, the others immediately looked at each other, and they were all a little moved.
They do have more or less similar things on their bodies. Although most of them are not as good as Dong Chen's Thunder Jade Exploding Arrow, they all have great lethality. If they are really thrown out together, maybe there will be a lot of damage.
Most likely, that monster will be killed directly!
finally.
Someone gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I've done it!"
Although the degree of danger is difficult to predict, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Dong Chen doesn't say it, they will probably be unable to give it up if they think about it for a while.
