The night falls, and the sky is filled with stars...
The scenery of Youxiangxing Road seems to have only one color since ancient times.
Drowsy, dull, dark, and endless.
At the top of Cangmu Peak, the huge flying star ginkgo tree is like a divine tree in the heavens, with ginkgo fruits hanging all over the tree, like dazzling flying stars under the sky, alternately flashing with intoxicating light.
Everyone's climb was extremely smooth, and they didn't encounter any danger when they reached the foot of the ginkgo tree.
But they were still as cautious as before climbing the mountain. They looked around. Some were guarding the path down the mountain, some were wary of cliffs, and some were protecting the old man named Wang.
The voice he spoke was very soft, just like Huang Liang's babble.
"Mr. Wang, we're here, pick the fruits quickly."
"Don't worry, the Night Demon Crow was born in the netherworld and travels in the dark. Although these fruits are bright and bright, there is no guarantee whether there is a Night Demon Crow on the tree. Let me observe it for a while."
Night Demon Crows are mostly monsters between the sixth and seventh levels. Each Demon Crow is not a big threat to them, but if they go out in groups, they can easily die.
What's even more frightening is that the Night Demon Crow is hidden in the darkness and is good at sneak attacks. Once targeted, it is impossible to prevent it.
The old man surnamed Wang was only five feet away from the ginkgo tree, staring into the distance and concentrating.
Feng Jueyu discovered that at this moment, the old man surnamed Wang took out an unlit copper lamp in his hand. The wick of the copper lamp was dim and emitted a black light.
Black light is extremely rare.
However, it can be seen from the aura emitted by the treasure lantern that it should be a very special kind of demon treasure.
The old man surnamed Wang lifted the treasure lantern and used the black light to see the darkness around the world: "This is the treasure I spent a lot of money to prepare. It is called the "netherworld guiding light". It can illuminate the ghosts and resentful gods, demons and monsters, and see through the subtle changes."
The old man's voice was very soft, but his hand movements were obvious, and he pointed towards the flying star ginkgo tree.
While taking photos and returning them, he explained: "The Night Demon crows watch the Flying Star Ginkgo trees grow in their ancestral land, and especially cherish the Flying Star Ginkgo fruits. I don't want much, so there is no need to disturb them."
As he said this, Mr. Wang shined his light at a spot, and the black light from the wick made a black hollow mark, illuminating the area around a ginkgo fruit.
"It's almost there. There aren't any here. I'll pick it up. Just be careful."
"Please hurry up. The longer I stand here, the more hairy I feel." said the young man surnamed Jin.
"I'm afraid you've heard too many ghost stories. Remember your identity. After all, you are also a god-man at the seventh level."
"It doesn't matter how many turns it takes, I just..."
The young man surnamed Jin was chattering, but when he was halfway through his words, the old man surnamed Wang had already picked two fruits, and nothing happened.
But at this moment, the woman surnamed Cen turned her head, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by something.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, you...don't move..."
"What's wrong?"
The young man named Jin was startled.
This sudden change made everyone look at the young man named Jin, and then the expressions on their faces suddenly changed.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, don't move, don't move."
"I stepped on the horse, what happened? Don't scare me..."
The young man surnamed Jin started to sweat instantly, but he did not dare to look back, his heart was beating fast.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the top of the mountain was as oppressive as death, and the air seemed to be frozen.
The young man surnamed Jin couldn't help it anymore and tilted his head slightly, but for a moment, he was frozen in place as if a restraining spell had been cast on him.
Beads of sweat fell down his cheeks and flowed directly to his chin, leaving a crystal drop of sweat hanging down.
He saw a crow standing on his left shoulder, as black as ink, with a slender mouth and three eyes. Each eye had double pupils, and the pupils were like bottomless whirlpools.
"Don't look at it!"
At this moment, a hair-splitting cry broke the silence of the dark night, and then a ray of azure light came through the sky like a divine rainbow piercing Zhouxu.
Ga!
As if sensing that a major change was about to happen on the top of the mountain, the black crow lowered its head suddenly and poked the young man named Jin in the eyeball with its slender and sharp beak.
The distance between the two was so close that they were not even close in size. The young man surnamed Jin had never imagined that the accident would happen so quickly. His whole soul was about to fly away, but he was still in a state of sluggishness.
"Hurry down the mountain!"
There was another roar, and the blue light passed through the black crow's body at lightning speed, bringing out a stream of hot red blood arrows, half of which splashed onto the face of the young man surnamed Jin.
The young man surnamed Jin was in danger of death. How could he not know that he had just been attacked by some kind of secret technique, which almost caused his mind to fail?
Fortunately, the azure blue light appeared in time and killed the Night Demon Crow at once, otherwise his eyes would not have been saved.
He stumbled and fell, and then he saw that the person who took action was the old man named Wang.
"Old Wang, you saved my life again."
Mr. Wang rushed over and pulled the man up: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
He put two flying star ginkgo fruits into his arms. As soon as he finished this action, everyone saw a large black cloud rising into the sky from the flying star ginkgo tree, followed by a mess of clear and crisp crows in the sky.
Those were not black clouds, but a large group of night-eating demon crows. Each demon crow had three pupils, and the pupils were like a bottomless black abyss.
"Don't look into their eyes, they will lose your mind."
The old man surnamed Wang rubbed the precious lantern in his hand vigorously. The strange and strange precious lantern, which was dim before, instantly blazed brightly and shot out dozens of colorful divine rainbows.
Suddenly the sky is illuminated.
But this time, people really saw clearly the murderous intention lurking in the Flying Star Ginkgo Tree. They were actually hundreds of demonic crows with heads as big as eagles. After they flew around the Flying Star Ginkgo Tree in a circle, it was like a scene.
Like a storm, it swept down on everyone.
"withdraw!"
Eight people, including Feng Jueyu, ran away, each one faster than the other, even using all their strength to suck milk.
Even so, it is still not as good as the night crows.
The young man surnamed Xu later realized that he was lagging behind and was immediately drowned in the crowd of crows. However, he immediately sacrificed the treasure, and the auspicious and vast rain of light splashed, turning into countless domineering sword energy, overwhelming the sky and the earth.
Groups of demonic crows were chopped down, and blood fell like rain. However, more black crows surrounded the young man named Xu and pecked him full of holes.
"Fellow Daoist Xu!"
There were low shouts, and more than one person rushed over.
The woman surnamed Cen, the middle-aged man surnamed Li, Mr. Wang... all launched rescue operations, but no one else really ran away. Except for the young man surnamed Jin who was a little dumbfounded, everyone else rose up to resist.
Feng Jueyu will naturally not be idle. It must be said that these people are very loyal. He once thought that people like Mr. Wang and the woman named Cen might not run away, but he did not expect that no one would run away.
Nodding, Feng Jueyu was a little impressed by the integrity of these people. He flicked his fingers away and his sword energy roared like thunder, killing the demon crows around him.
On the other side, several companions also used their own methods. Although they were besieged, their formation was not disordered at all.
Snap!
There was a sound of thunder in the distance, and it was Mr. Wang who slapped away five demonic crows with one palm, and forcefully snatched the young man named Xu out of the crowd of crows, but he was also pecked on the back by the demonic crows.
These demonic crows don't know what kind of magic they are gifted with. Their sharp beaks are so sharp that even swords cannot cut them. Unless they cut their bodies, it will be a head-to-head confrontation.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The treasured armor worn by Mr. Wang next to his body made a crisp sound like gold cracking through stone. After a dozen times, it shattered with a crack.
Immediately, blood flowed out from the back, further stimulating the bloodthirsty nature of the crows, and they rushed over crazily.
"Mr. Wang, you take the people to evacuate first, and I will rescue Mr. Wang."
"Count me in."
The woman surnamed Cen held a bright silver pearl in her hand, took a mouthful of fragrant divine energy and exhaled, and the sky was filled with silver flakes, turning into a storm and sweeping forward.
The pearl contained a kind of silver flame, which burned when touched, and a large number of demonic crows were burned to the ground.
Taking advantage of this, he killed a bloody path for the middle-aged man named Li.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li rushed away and rushed into the crowd of crows. He supported the dying young man surnamed Xu and Mr. Wang and tried his best to snatch them out.
Whoosh!
At this moment, several larger night crows suddenly emerged, covered in feathers as sharp as blades, carrying the evil wind and evil energy, and attacked head on.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li raised his sword to resist, and he fought a night crow head-on. He never expected to be forced to take a few steps back.
The three of them stumbled unsteadily and almost fell to the ground. Once they fell to the ground, they would face death.
When Mr. Wang saw this, he was furious. He suddenly spread his hands and put them together. The power in the hole in his palms surged like flames, and in an instant, a big "swastika" symbol was formed.
For a time, the wonderful sound of Sanskrit music resounded across the mountains.
At this time, Mr. Wang was like an ancient Buddha wearing cassocks, his energy was blazing on fire, and countless demonic crows disappeared into ashes when he approached, as if he had been saved in one fell swoop.
But precisely because of this, his energy was quickly consumed as if it was being swallowed.
The middle-aged man named Li was shocked: "Mr. Wang, no, you are injured..."
"It is my fault that you are surrounded by demon crows. How can I let you die with me? This is the light of Dharma Heart Ancient Buddha. It can protect you for a while. You go first."
"How...how can this be done?"
Everyone was stunned. They had expected that the Demonic Crow would be difficult to deal with, but they did not expect it to be so difficult. The big-headed Demonic Crow could even repel the middle-aged man named Li who was at the peak of Rank 7, which showed that his strength was extraordinary.
However, everyone tried their best to kill only one or two tenths of the demonic crows, and every time they took action, they had to go all out to kill a few demon crows quickly.
But like this, water from afar cannot quench a thirst that is near.
Over time, everyone's physical strength declined, and some damage was inevitable.
Mr. Wang wanted to sacrifice himself to send everyone out.
"Mr. Wang, if you die, why should we come here?"
The young man surnamed Xu was covered in blood, and there was even a blood hole in his temple. If Mr. Wang hadn't fought so hard to get him out, he would be dead now.
The young man named Xu's robes fluttered, and swords flew out one after another, exploding in the air.
He used his self-destructing Dao sword to block a large number of demonic crows three feet away.
But it’s still a drop in the bucket.
"Have you forgotten that you are a monk after we have been together for a while? You have practiced Taoism all your life in order to live forever. Now that you have it, why do you want to die?"
Mr. Wang smiled and pushed the young man named Xu away from him. The Buddha's light around him surged wildly like a mighty roar.
Everyone was stunned, trying their best to protect them from leaving.
"There is no need to die with a group of monsters."
Just when everyone thought that the old man named Wang was bound to die, Feng Jueyu, dressed in green clothes, suddenly rushed from the side.
The palms were clenched tightly, and the wind and thunder stirred between the fingers. When they flicked open, countless sword energy swept out like a turbulent wave.
