Xu Dao stayed on the boat. The body of the dragon appeared, its magic power was flowing in his eyes, and he looked behind the boat warily.
More than half a day has passed since everyone escaped from the overseas Taoist priests. They did not dare to stop for a moment and flew straight towards the direction of the Taoist palace.
Except for Xu Dao, who was still nervous, the other Taoist priests on the boat were slightly relaxed, whispering to each other about the dangerous situation half a day ago, and some of them related to Xu Dao:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, let's take a rest for now. We have been working for most of the day. We should have escaped from the danger."
"That's right! I was able to escape with my life this time, thanks to my two fellow Taoists."
"By the way, fellow Taoist Xu is hiding his secrets, but the Taoist soldiers under his command are actually so good!"
Although the people in the same sect were chatting, Xu Dao still had a tight feeling in his heart. He always felt that the bloody humanoid would not let them go so easily.
But what fellow Taoists said is the same. It is not good for him to keep tense all the time. On the one hand, it is to avoid making other people equally nervous. On the other hand, if he is always vigilant, the burden of mana is not small. If something happens,
, I am afraid that the response will not be timely.
So Xu Dao nodded to the others and said, "What the fellow Taoists said is true, it's because the poor Taoist is nervous." He only chatted with the others for a few words, without saying too much, and took the initiative to step aside.
.
Now that he was still on the run, it was not convenient for Xu Dao to go directly to the quiet room to rest, so he just meditated on the deck to rest.
When other people saw this, they did not come forward to disturb him, and their voices were lowered. After experiencing a dangerous incident, the relationship between the people who were already good friends seemed to become more friendly.
After running away for half a day, a city appeared in everyone's eyes. The city was not impressive in appearance. It was just a small town with a population of less than 100,000. Looking at the atmosphere in the city, there should not be many practitioners inside.
Originally, everyone wanted to jump over directly and continue to rush to the Dao Palace. However, the building ship was mainly controlled by Zhuang Bufan and Xu Dao, and when they broke out before, it was the two of them who put in a lot of effort.
Among them, Xu Dao is not bad. Although his cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation building, he has sufficient spirit and body to cultivate both immortality and martial arts. After a short rest, he can continue to fight with others.
But Zhuang Bufan couldn't do it. He had lost his body and could only survive by cultivating his spirit in the magic weapon. After a breakout and a whole day of escaping, he had to slow down.
So Zhuang Bufan just briefly informed a few people, and then steered the building boat towards the unknown town, intending to use the city's fireworks to conceal the building boat's aura.
Otherwise, everyone would just stay in the wild. Even if the concealment formation of the building was opened, it would still be somewhat conspicuous. But now it is leaning on the edge of the mortal city, and the city's atmosphere is complicated, which is the most able to hide the building and everyone's breath.
movement.
The city is not large in circumference. There are lights inside and it is pitch dark, with the occasional sound of chickens and dogs coming out.
The building boat fell quietly and lay on the edge of the city. The aura converged and it became pitch black.
At this time, Xu Daoshang was meditating to regain his breath. He noticed the movement, and after pondering for a while, he sent a message to Zhuang Bufan: "If Brother Dao is too tired, you can go into the quiet room to rest for a while. Dao will control the spirit ship. It's important to hurry up."
."
"This place has a large population. Look at the overseas Taoist priests who are not good at it. They are used to collecting people's souls. If there are enemies chasing after them, I'm afraid they will also harm the people in this city."
Zhuang Bufan didn't pay attention to what Xu Dao said, and replied: "It doesn't matter, fellow Taoist recover your true energy first, and we will go on our way after resting. You don't need to bother fellow Taoist too much about maneuvering the boat."
"This place is just an unknown place, and there are no other Taoist priests in the city. If there are thieves coming, they will probably ignore them and just be busy chasing us and others."
What Zhuang Bufan said made sense. If he said more, he would only appear nervous.
Moreover, the building ship is the opponent's precious magic weapon, and its importance is only inferior to Zhuang Bufan's flying sword. The opponent can open up permissions to Xu Dao several times, which is already informal.
If Xu Dao was eager to sail the boat for the other party, it would be a bit inappropriate. Even some small-minded people might think that he has ulterior motives and ruin the relationship between the two.
So Xu Dao gave up the idea of ​​persuading him, nodded, and took the opportunity to rest and settle down, and began to concentrate on recovering his magic power.
When the other Taoist priests saw that the building boat was hiding, they didn't think too much. They just thought that the escape was over for the time being. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions relaxed, either meditating and resting in the same way, or looking at the ordinary small town.
An hour passed, and the surroundings were still very quiet. The night was dark and thick, and there was nothing strange about it.
The Taoist priests on the building boat were also more relaxed and took some time off from their busy work. There was also a Taoist priest who took out half of the monster body of an overseas Taoist priest he had killed and studied it carefully.
"These guys have weird looks. They seem to be mostly martial arts. Their spiritual roots are also a bit strange. They all have the attribute of moisture-generated scales."
"West Sea, West Sea, could it be that these guys got their spiritual roots from the sea?"
Xu Dao was attracted by their voices, and his magic power had been completely restored, so he walked aside and listened to the research of several Taoist priests. With the addition of Xu Dao, the few people studied more vigorously, and various ideas and speculations continued to emerge.
Everyone has a question in their mind: "What is the land of the West Sea like? Is it more suitable for cultivation than the Kingdom of Wu?"
But before they could really come to any conclusion, Xu Dao's expression suddenly changed, he raised his head and looked in the direction they came from.
Several other Taoist priests were surprised, but their expressions also changed suddenly, and their eyes became frightened.
Buzz! A low energy circled and rose from the distance, and a red energy jumped out, driving away the night.
But this redness was not a sunrise. It was like blood, spreading to many places where they were, making the air tremble and the sky seem to be burning.
A Taoist priest shouted out loud: "Damn it! Those guys are chasing me!"
Xu Dao came back to his senses. Although he did not show any fear like the others, his face was solemn and he quickly whispered: "Don't be anxious, wake up Brother Dao quickly, and we will continue on our way."
Zheng! A sword clang sounded.
Zhuang Bufan, who was resting on the side, exited the state of cultivation and replied in a deep voice: "No need, I have finished my cultivation."
He just said a word, and then quietly drove the building boat close to the ground, trying to slip away without attracting attention.
But in just a few breaths, the red light on the horizon became more vivid and clear, and turned into a huge fuzzy human shape, standing in mid-air, like a giant god made of fire and blood.
A billowing sneer sounded: "You have been baptized by the true energy of this Tao, and you still want to escape the sight of this Tao?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a shuddering feeling appeared on Xu Dao and the six people. Even the movement of the building ship that had been started was slightly sluggish.
This was the release of the golden elixir consciousness of the possessed demon, which anchored Xu Dao and the others, making them feel the horror of that day again.
Xu Dao and the others saw that the other party found him easily, and heard the other party's sneer clearly, and each felt chilled in their hearts.
The consciousness in the building is chaotic: "That guy should have a secret method that can track us... If we escape now, it will be a dead end!"
Xu Dao himself also retracted his gaze from all directions, suppressed the thought of escaping alone, and frowned again.
Fortunately, they did not just accept their fate. Zhuang Bufan raised his voice and shouted: "Hey! Bird! You are still haunting me! How dare you chase your grandfather!"
Clang, clank! The rapid sound of swords sounded.
Zhuang Bufan simply picked up the magic sword and drove the building boat at the same time. He no longer concealed his whereabouts and ran straight towards the Taoist palace.
"Huh!!" Another cold snort sounded.
I saw the huge red human figure standing in the sky, looking down at everyone, waving his hand, and then the star-like red light fell down again, like a bead curtain, blocking the direction of the building ship.
Buzz! The slender building boat plunged in.
Although Xu Dao and the others were well prepared and did not need Zhuang Bufan to give orders, they took the initiative to fight against the surroundings and open up a path for the building ship. However, the building ship was still blocked by the thick red light again, and the red light that swept towards the building ship became stronger.
Then the building boat will be wrapped again.
Xu Dao looked around and made timely suggestions: "Brother Dao! You can't move forward. If you can retreat, change the direction and break out!"
Zhuang Bufan discovered that if this was indeed the case, there was not much red light behind the building, and it would be easier to break through in another direction. So immediately, everyone quickly changed the place where they used their strength, just thinking of breaking free first.
But while they were busy breaking out of the encirclement, the huge red shadow in mid-air turned its attention away from them and placed it on the city beside them.
"Hahaha!"
A burst of crazy laughter sounded in the sky: "There are nearly 100,000 fresh people in such an inconspicuous place. This is really a great place. I'm so happy!"
This guy was actually happy to see someone, and his greed turned into reality. Bright red tentacles sprouted from his body, danced down wildly, and then twisted and grabbed into the city.
For a while, the demon ignored Xu Dao and the others and did not try to stop them. Taking this opportunity, Xu Dao and the others managed to escape from the opponent's capture once again.
Buzz! The building boat is suspended in the air, ready to move, and can fly out immediately.
But after breaking away from the sticky red light, they also noticed the changes in the city.
"Ahhh!" Before Xu Dao and the others could walk away, bursts of shrill screams rang out, causing complete chaos in the already restless city.
I saw bright red tentacles passing through the houses and across the streets, and one living person after another was pulled out from the houses and rubble, struggling feebly.
But in the end, he was dragged into the bloody figure in the sky, swallowed up in one gulp, and melted into one piece, never making any sound again.
Many of them were still asleep, but they were swallowed by the bloody figures in a daze. It was unclear whether they were lucky or unlucky.
Such a scene fell in the eyes of everyone on the boat, and everyone couldn't help but change their color.
Xu Dao looked at the tragic scene in front of him, his face was cold, and he said between his teeth: "What an overseas monster!"
Zhuang Bufan, who was on the side, had not yet recovered from the joy of breaking away. When he saw this scene, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.
As for the other Taoist priests, they also had different expressions, but they were not as big as the two people. After a few glances, they were slightly shocked, but they were all busy urging them to continue on their way:
"What a great opportunity! While this big guy is dealing with mortals, brother Taoist, let's run away quickly!"
Zhuang Bufan was awakened by the crowd's words, but he did not take any immediate action. The flying sword he was resting on trembled slightly, as if he was hesitating for something.
At this moment, a slightly cold voice sounded on the ship:
"Fellow Taoists, why don't you first pick up your sword and test the edge of this man-eating monster?"
The others followed the sound and found that the speaker was Xu Dao. He was standing on the bow of the boat, with fierce energy all over his body, staring at the demon on the city. When the Taoist priests who were already timid heard this, they quickly had something to say.
come out.
But Xu Dao seemed to have been prepared. He withdrew his gaze, pointed forward with his cuttlefish sword, and his consciousness spread out:
"Don't be anxious, everyone."
"Today is not yesterday, and this beast is not a golden elixir from the outside world that has come here in person. It is just an incarnation. Although it has power, it may not be as terrifying as that day."
"Besides, this animal is eating people. Judging from its actions, cannibalism seems to be of great benefit to it. If we abandon this city and flee, we won't even be tempted. With the nourishment of this entire city, the opponent's strength will also be
It will only get stronger and stronger, and by then my chances of escaping will be even smaller."
Speaking with his spiritual consciousness, Xu Dao told all his plans in one breath. After listening to the other Taoist priests, their faces showed a look of thinking.
As Xu Dao said, although the enemy's momentum is not bad, and his background is a demon in the Golden Core realm, he is currently in Wu State, not Xihai, and the opponent is just an incarnation.
Although the opponent caught up with him again and his life was at stake, he still had to try to resist a few more times and stab the opponent a few times. If he couldn't beat him, it wouldn't be too late to escape.
It's just that although everyone thought about it, they didn't agree with it.
At this moment, Zhuang Bufan on the side finally spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Xu is right. I discovered that every time the man-eating monster swallows one more person, the red light on its body will become stronger. From the time when it first appeared,
The body of this beast has grown several times, and it must have swallowed many people along the way."
"But compared to last time, this guy's strength has not doubled!"
After these words were spoken, Zhuang Bufan seemed to be relieved.
The other Taoist priests were even more entangled. Although they wanted to run away directly, the words of Xu Daozhuang Bufan did make some sense.
And more importantly, at the scene, Xu and Zhuang had the most powerful magic power, and the boat they used to escape also belonged to Zhuang Bufan, so the five of them actually had little say.
To scatter and escape would be to seek death. As a last resort, the four Taoist priests nodded with difficulty.
In a short period of time, everyone on the boat unanimously agreed, and its direction of travel changed again. Instead of just escaping, it crashed into the sky above the city.
