Regardless of whether it is the mysterious world or any other world, the essence of demons is actually the evolutionary direction of another creature, so in the final analysis, the source of power and life comes from the heart, brain and other vital parts.
In other words, to be more precise, it is the soul, the flow of the soul.
But monsters are different.
Although monsters have the word "demon", the actual focus is on the word "weird".
And this "weird" refers to weirdness and strange appearance.
Feitouman, Su Anran didn't know the specific situation, but he still knew that the essence of this thing was actually a soul-type spirit. It transformed itself into the image of the target by devouring the souls of the living, imitating the target.
The image, behavior, etc., and then achieve a certain ideological resonance with the target, so as to capture prey.
According to the story of Zhiyi, the flying-headed man will only reveal himself to hunt in the middle of the night, and the target possessed by the flying-headed man will not know that he is dead because his consciousness is resonated - in the island country from the Heian Era
In the legends of the Edo period, those headless corpses were often caused by flying heads.
In the Meiji period after the Edo period, the reduction of such visions was similar to the great imperial dynasty's law that "no spirits are allowed after the founding of the country" - after all, since the Meiji period, Onmyodo has been denounced as an evil heretic.
Not only did it gradually move away from the political center, but it was also liquidated and suppressed like the "Destroying the Four Olds", and eventually became a legend in some folk literature.
Su Anran looked at the two-petal flying-headed beast's head that had fallen to the ground and was shrinking at an extremely fast speed, eventually becoming as big as a walnut, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
The monsters are weird and strange, so they do not have vital points such as the heart. Only more targeted attacks can truly eliminate these monsters.
For example, the real key point of Feitou Man is the head - it is not just beheading, but cutting the whole head into two pieces with a vertical chop. Of course, if you throw it into a meat grinder and grind it into pieces,
That's also possible.
As for the monsters mentioned by Shiyori of the island country such as Yuki Onna, Feng Gui, etc., why are they obviously not strong, but they are very troublesome and almost unsolvable - probably why an SR card can have an SSR panel.
, and even produce damage effects equivalent to UR - because their own "weirdness" is a natural phenomenon: the snow girl comes from the existence of wind and snow, the stronger the wind and snow, the stronger the snow girl; the wind ghost comes from the hurricane airflow
The existence of typhoons mostly occurs in areas such as typhoons.
Therefore, until there is no way to solve this natural phenomenon, there is nothing we can do to deal with such monsters.
Many times, Onmyoji would rather deal with monsters such as Shuten Doji, Daitengu, etc., rather than trouble Yuki Onna, Fuuki, and Fire Man. This is because these monsters are quite tricky and difficult to deal with.
There is really too much preliminary work to prepare - in a sense, Feitouman actually belongs to this type of special monster, because it was born from "thoughts".
Such as resentment, love, longing, etc.,
This also means that Feitou Man cannot be directly classified as "evil". It depends on what kind of thought it is born from. But no matter what kind of thought it is, if you want to eliminate Feitou Man, you must pay at least one life.
The price - before Feitou Man relied on it, as the purest thought, it was immortal. Only by allowing its dependence to manifest and possessing the concept of "head" could it be completely eliminated.
But Su Anran can at least make one thing clear.
The flying man who transformed into a shepherd is definitely not a kind-hearted person.
"Is it solved?" Song Jue asked.
"Yes." Su Anran nodded, "I think he is really dead this time."
Su Anran picked at the walnut-like remnants of Feitouman with his sword, and then the two pieces of "walnut chips" turned into a wisp of gray-black smoke and drifted away in the wind.
The strange demonic atmosphere in the surrounding air also disappeared completely as the wisp of smoke dissipated.
Su Anran and Song Jue were both extremely sensitive to breath. After briefly feeling the surrounding environment, they were able to determine clearly that the shepherd had really been dealt with, so the two of them quickly relaxed.
"You...you..." But unlike Su Anran and Song Jue who were relaxed, Cheng Zhong looked like he had seen a ghost.
He still can't believe it, how could Su Anran and Song Jue kill the shepherd?
Even strictly speaking, Song Jue cannot be regarded as the real main force in killing the shepherds. At most, she could only sneak in from the side and suppress the soul-eating dogs.
In the world of demons and demons, the gap in strength is quite obvious.
The twelve patterns correspond to the jinchūriki.
The twenty-fourth string corresponds to the general.
The big demon's counterpart is the soldier commander.
The strong demon corresponds to the Banchang.
The demon corresponds to the group leader.
Further down are the monsters and corresponding blades.
The division of each class is an iron law poured out with the blood of countless ancestors of demon hunters - of course, in fact this is not absolute, there are occasionally some special cases, but those are extremely rare individuals after all.
example, so naturally it cannot be regarded as a regular law.
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Zhong thought that if he encountered a shepherd, with the inherited power of the thunder knife, he would have at least half a chance of escaping even if he couldn't defeat him. Otherwise, he would have to pay the price of serious injury before he could escape. Of course, this is normal.
The situation refers to daytime. If it is night, then his chance of escape will be reduced by half. However, it is not just a matter of waiting for death. If he is willing to give up something, he still has a chance to escape.
However, it is limited to escape.
Not to mention counter-killing the shepherd, it is impossible even to severely injure the opponent.
After all, the difference in strength is too big.
But……
The look of disbelief remained on Cheng Zhong's face.
In any case, he would not understand the meaning of the sentence "Sword cultivator is the number one killer in the world".
"Luckily." Su Anran laughed.
He knew how much impact his behavior had on Cheng Zhong. If the world had changed, this scene that subverted his long-standing three-view thinking would be enough to make his head explode, and maybe he would get a
Special titles, such as Su Anran, the Skull-Exploding Demon - although now he has been called the Grenade Sword Immortal, the Explosive Sword Immortal and so on by Huang Zi.
"The shepherd himself is not good at personal force. He is actually more good at attacking. It just so happens that my sister-in-law has a special ability to restrain his soul-eating dog, and I am good at close quarters and quick attacks, so I can do mental calculations.
We were able to deal with the shepherd so smoothly without any intention." Su Anran explained, "If there were another twenty-four string here, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to escape."
Hearing Su Anran's words, Cheng Zhong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
He's not stupid.
If he were stupid, he wouldn't be alive today.
In the Xuan Realm, because of the cultivation and education methods of the sect family, some naive people may be created - such as Song Jue, Miaoyanliu - but in the world of demons, that is absolutely impossible. So there is no need for Su
An Ran said clearly that Cheng Zhong already understood the subtext of Su Anran's words.
Not long after he got the thunder knife, a big demon with twenty-four strings followed him all the way, and even knew his route clearly. If there was nothing fishy about it, Cheng Zhong would never believe it.
of.
So the question now is where exactly the problem went.
"Go to Junwu Mountain as soon as possible, maybe something might happen there." Su Anran said.
The world of demons and demons is no better than the Mysterious World. Because of the presence of the Wanshi Tower, the transmission of information can be said to be instantaneous.
For example, Taiyi Valley forced the Sword Sect to close the mountain for ten years, but it only took five or six days for the news to spread throughout the Xuanjie. As for those high-ranking nobles, even Song Nana who had just left the Sword Sect, they
Just received the message.
If we say, what is the greatest benefit Huang Zi has brought to the Xuan Realm?
That is definitely not those weird gadgets, but this clear information and intelligence transmission system and speed - if it weren't for the ultra-high-speed operation efficiency of Wanshilou, the Second Human Demon War and the invasion of the Demon Alliance would not have been possible.
He was soon discovered, and was blocked from the North Sea by the major sects in Zhongzhou who came together.
But the demon world is different.
The transmission of information in this world relies on a creature called a messenger bird.
This is an artificially cultivated monster creature. It is not very strong, but has excellent endurance and a certain degree of intelligence. Therefore, it is often used to transmit and report information.
It's just that because the cost of cultivation is extremely high, apart from the three major inheritance holy places that cultivate it, generally only villages of a slightly larger size will cultivate it.
A village like Linshan Village cannot afford to raise a trust bird, let alone the just-built Amahara Shrine.
"Let's go to Hailong Village." Cheng Zhong immediately made a decision in his heart, "Originally, according to the itinerary, our next destination should be to go to Chunfeng Village, but now because of the shepherd's attack, we must report the news of the death of Tianyuan Shrine.
Spread the word... Only Hailong Village has faith birds."
Having said that, Cheng Zhong quickly returned to the shepherd's body. He was not afraid of germs and odors, and directly groped around the shepherd's corpse, which was decaying at an alarming rate.
After a moment, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he took out a dirty thing from the shepherd's body.
Because the body of Feitouman was already highly decomposed, after Feitouman died, the corpse lost the maintenance of evil spirit, so it became even more embarrassing at this time. The things Cheng Zhong took out from the corpse were covered with corpses.
The liquid was dripping drop by drop at the moment, and it looked extremely disgusting.
However, Cheng Zhong was very precious and kept this thing very preciously.
After a while, he reluctantly handed the wooden box containing the thing to Su Anran.
Seeing Cheng Zhong's expression, Su Anran already guessed what it was, so she took it calmly.
For demon hunters in the world of demons, the most valuable part of a demon is naturally the demon corpse oil. Obviously, this thing that Cheng Zhong collected should be unique to a certain demon in the shepherd.
Some organs - this kind of organ, obviously accompanied by the stronger the demon, the greater its value.
However, Cheng Zhong did not abandon the puddle of pus on the ground caused by the rotting corpse of the shepherd.
Although the process was quite disgusting, Su Anran and Song Jue watched the entire process as Cheng Zhong collected the demon corpse oil.
