Chapter 32 The vortex lures the snake out of its hole
Zhikarizhen looked at Qian Huogui with questioning eyes.
Qian Huogui came close to Zhikarizhen, face to face less than half a foot away. The breath he exhaled from his mouth was thin and hot, lingering with a sweet and greasy fragrance: "You are very calm, can't you see any surprise?"
With his appearance, it’s no wonder he is a spy from the General’s Mansion.”
"Those in our field are accustomed to surprises, and we won't be too surprised when encountering anything." Zhikari took a step back without revealing any trace, keeping a distance from Qian Huokui. He was always afraid of the witch.
You won’t believe what the other party says. What’s more, cunning and ruthlessness are the nature of demons, and deception is commonplace. With Zhen Rahu’s devotion to Yingzhao, wasn’t he still ruthlessly betrayed in the end?
Thinking of the heroic move, the devil's body trembled involuntarily, as if a bloody wound had been torn open. The wound was mixed with miserable pain and sweetness. Zhikarima subconsciously took out a piece of mulberry leaf, rolled it up, lit it, and inhaled deeply.
One bite.
"Tell me, what happened?" He exhaled the smoke and carefully experienced the chaotic emotions produced by the possessed body.
In the emissary's cabin, Pan Zaiyi quietly looked at the crawling fleshy walls of the floor, and a demon corpse slowly emerged.
"Master, this is the corpse of the demon discovered by Mole Yanling this morning. Like the ship passengers who died a few days ago, this demon also died in his cabin." Yan Mu stood beside the corpse and said with a solemn expression.<
/p>
The vertical lines between Pan Zaiyi's eyebrows opened, and a strange light shot out from the sky, which fell on the corpse. There was no scar on the demon's body, and his big mouth covered with scales opened, his eyes narrowed, and he maintained an ecstatic smile.<
/p>
The muscles on his face have become stiff, making his smile look particularly weird.
"His internal organs were not injured." Pan Zaiyi's eyes turned slightly, and his gaze stayed on the demon's head, "The source of demon in his brain was damaged."
Ting Gong jumped up onto the demon corpse's chest, and with a "puff" sound of his flashing claws, he easily penetrated the Heavenly Spirit Cap above his head and dug out the source of the demon.
This magic source was only the size of a sesame seed, much smaller than ordinary magic sources. It was dull and gray in color, with cracks and interlaced fine lines on its surface. Ting Gong glanced at it a few times, then squeezed it casually, and the magic source immediately shattered into pieces.
Fensha. "Five demons died in five days, one every day. All the demons were damaged and died in their own cabins." Ting Gong bared his teeth and said, "Needless to say, it must be the one who got on the ship.
Good thing the devil did!"
Mother Yan said uneasily: "I don't know what powerful means the devil used. Not only did he avoid the smoke spirit's observation, he was also able to sneak into the closed cabin."
Pan Zaiyi flicked his robe sleeves, and the corpses of four demons emerged one after another on the flesh wall of the floor. They were all ship passengers who had been killed a few days ago. In order to avoid causing commotion on the ship, the corpses of the demons were quietly moved here and kept secret. Lian Li
Zhu was also kept in the dark.
The bodies of these four demonic corpses are all intact, with no visible scars. Only the expressions on their faces are different: some are dumbfounded, with faces full of surprise;
/p>
Pan Zaiyi thought for a moment and said slowly: "Except for the spar tickets, the doors of each cabin can only be opened by the Taoist array of the envoy cabin. If the devil uses magic to force his way in, it will inevitably trigger a Taoist array warning, which is what we and others are worried about.
Check. Moreover, the hatches of these demons are intact and there are no signs of invasion by foreign enemies."
Yan Mu asked curiously: "Master, what you mean is that the demon didn't enter the cabin and killed several of them through the cabin door?"
Pan Zaiyi nodded slightly: "The demonic corpse's demonic source has shrunk significantly and is covered with cracks. It should have suffered some kind of spiritual attack. The five of them were either happy or sad, and their emotions before death were particularly high and intense, and it seemed more like their minds had been manipulated.
Caused by this. The demon may have launched an attack with a huge and powerful demonic thought, causing their emotions to fluctuate. Because the fluctuations were too violent and completely exceeded the demon's own mental strength, the demon's source collapsed and his mind was severely damaged and he died.
."
Mother Yan suddenly said: "The demon's demonic thoughts must be extremely powerful, so it distorted the smoke spirit's consciousness and escaped our monitoring!" She was stunned, "Master, this demon's demonic thoughts are unpredictable.
, if you focus on hiding it among the ship passengers, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find it.”
Ting Gong laughed sharply and glared fiercely: "According to what I want, just run the Tao array with all your strength and kill all the demons on the boat. I guarantee that the demon will be like a lice on a bald head - you can't hide it.
!"
"You old guy only knows how to act recklessly!" Yan Mu glared at him and said angrily, "This time, many of the ship's passengers have some backgrounds, such as Qian Huogui, who comes from the craziest and most desperate Rising Sun Army. We can't kill them.
It’s difficult, but our black ship can’t escape easily afterwards!”
Pan Zaiyi thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Is the ship almost reaching the vortex of the earth's veins?"
Yan Mu replied: "We will arrive in half a day. As usual, we will stop at the Vortex of the Earth for one day." The Vortex of the Earth is a secret realm deep in the Earth's veins. It not only produces all kinds of strange materials and treasures, but also lives with some mysteries.
An important reason why ship passengers take the black ship is that they can go to the leyline vortex to hunt for treasures or trade with the local leyline tribe.
"How can a one-day stop be enough?" Pan Zaiyi's eyes flashed, and the four demonic bodies sank into the flesh wall of the floor again, serving as nutrients for the giant loach, leaving only today's fresh demonic corpses lying in front of him. He stretched out his hand to hold down
Between the brows of the demon corpse, he operates the secret technique of Ghost Valley - the art of seizing and possessing souls. A little bit of his consciousness was forcibly separated by him, and slowly merged into the demon corpse.
The demonic corpse trembled violently, its arms trembled to support the ground, and it sat up unsteadily. The cracked hole in its head slowly closed, and a strange light flashed through its dull eyeballs.
"Master is trying to lure the snake out of its hole." Ting Gong chuckled and watched the demon corpse stand up straight and walk out of the envoy's cabin step by step.
Not long after, everyone on the ship was informed by Li Zhu that in order to compensate for the fright the passengers suffered on the second floor of the Leyline, the black ship would dock at the Leyline Vortex for three days.
"The undercurrent near the leyline vortex is very turbulent, and all kinds of dangers emerge one after another. It is extremely difficult for the black ship to dock for one day, let alone three whole days? So what, what I said before was right, right? Something big must have happened on the ship!" Qian Huogui sneered.
With a sound, he and Zhikarizhen walked side by side on the corridor. Fuji was suspended in mid-air, following behind without touching his feet.
Approaching the vortex of the earth's veins, the demons walked out of the cabins one after another and gathered on the deck of the forward cabin. Jidu was mixed in the crowd and walked forward leisurely, and the demonic thoughts quietly extended to everyone.
Zhikarizhen's eyes passed over a group of demons, hesitating. Qian Huogui hummed: "There's no need to count, there are five demons missing on the ship. It's definitely not wrong. My innate magical power is the best at identifying demons.
As long as people have been on a ship, their breath will be firmly remembered by the Golden Epiphyllum."
At this time, the demon corpse that Pan Zaiyi was thinking of happened to turn out from the other end of the corridor.
