Night came as expected. Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on the skylark shuttle with his eyes closed and meditated. The clouds and mist around him were undulating, making him appear looming.
The position of Skylark Shuttle is dozens of feet higher than Xuanshi Mountain, and it can no longer be seen from the ground at this height. However, Zhang Yan's perception allows him to clearly grasp all the subtle changes around Xuanshi Mountain.
In the evening, another group of monsters gathered at the foot of Chaoxuanshi Mountain. Could it be that they wanted to climb up again?
The demon clan is obviously more willing to sacrifice their lives than the human race. The lives of dozens or hundreds of demon clan are nothing in the eyes of the demon clan's decision-makers. They are just miscellaneous soldiers. If they die, they will die.
Not distressed at all.
However, the demon clan is not the focus of Zhang Yan's attention. What he is paying attention to is the large number of spirit clans that gradually begin to emerge from the ground as night falls and gather under Xuanshi Mountain.
As Zhang Yan had guessed before, the gathered spirits were not only human spirits, but also demon spirits, and the number of demon spirits was even greater. They were also distinct from each other, and their hostility to each other was obvious.
But they didn't start fighting, they just roared and screamed at each other a few times.
This is not the first time Zhang Yan has seen such disciplined ghosts. Back when he was blocking the dead roads in Nanyuan Kingdom, he had experienced these ghosts acting out tricks to trick him into a trap.
Now it seems that these ghosts at the foot of Xuanshi Mountain are waiting for late at night when the yin energy is the strongest.
They didn't even pay attention to the monsters not far away from them. The leaders were the two ghost kings.
Not only was the excitement brewing at the foot of Xuanshi Mountain, Xuanshi Mountain itself also had some different movements in Zhang Yan's perception. Xuanshi Mountain was dead silent during the day when Zhang Yan was wandering around, but after nightfall, there were real "trails" exposed.
In Zhang Yan's perception, movement came from the dense network of holes almost all over the body of Xuanshi Mountain. But it was very strange. The movement was clearly in his perception, but it was different from the "existence" that Zhang Yan knew.
"There's nothing similar.
First of all, it is not a living thing, because it has no breath, vitality, and no entity. Secondly, it is not a dead thing like a ghost, because it does not even have soul fluctuations.
Then why use "movement" to speculate? It's because the surge of energy that Zhang Yan felt in his perception was not a hasty advance or retreat, but a probing head that seemed to be carefully testing before extending outward.
Like tentacles that are disembodied and in the form of pure energy.
Are these tentacles separate limbs from a whole body, or do each one belong to an independent individual? After careful observation, Zhang Yan believes that these tentacle-like things should be a whole body. Because although this thing has no breath or soul fluctuations to distinguish it,
However, the nature of energy is the same, the strength is the same, and there should be some subtle differences among individuals.
"Could this thing be the ball hidden in the center of Xuanshi Mountain?" Zhang Yan guessed.
In addition to being surprised, there is another thought in Zhang Yan's mind: is this thing a kind of creature? In other words, although it is completely different from the creatures in Zhang Yan's cognitive system, who can rule in this world?
Can't there be a creature that doesn't even have a soul and exists purely in the form of energy?
A heterogeneous species has to be a little different, right?
While Zhang Yan was spinning his thoughts in his mind, he continued to pay attention to the changes in the situation on Xuanshi Mountain below. The first ones to move were not the spirit clan, but the demon clan. They didn't seem to give up, but they weren't rushing around either.
They all took out a strange-looking fruit and swallowed it. After waiting for a short while, they started to enter the area of influence of Xuanshi Mountain.
Zhang Yan was dumbfounded when he was on the Skylark Shuttle. In his perception, the monsters who had swallowed that strange fruit suddenly seemed to have their vitality taken away and turned into "walking zombies"?!
Of course, it is not that they have truly turned into walking zombies, nor that they have really lost their vitality, but that the vitality of these monsters has been extremely concealed. From a sensory perspective, although they are still alive and kicking at this time, they have no vitality at all.
, "completely dead" belongs to.
The changes in these monsters obviously come from the fruits they eat. And in Zhang Yan's opinion, this kind of preparedness is definitely not the result of the monsters' thinking. It should be due to Baronka's guidance.
It was Zhang Yan who met Baronka in the Haoyue Demon Kingdom before. He remembered that Baronka once said that it was the demon clan of the Haoyue Demon Kingdom that "came after" it, and it took action against Zhang Yan. In other words, the demon clan and Baronka
There are means of communication between demons and gods.
Just like the Martial Arts Institute that exists in every country in the human race and enjoys a very high status. Zhang Yan believes that it must be the liaison method for Martial Saint Xu Fengyang to stay with the human race.
However, compared to Baronka, it seems that Xu Fengyang rarely speaks out to the human race. Otherwise, the human race would not be as passive as they are now after the sudden change in Xiyuan County.
When Zhang Yan was thinking wildly, he saw these monsters stepping into the influence of Xuanshi Mountain. The effect of the fruit was outstanding, not only hiding the vitality of these monsters, but also wrapping it up, leaving nothing for Xuanshi.
The monsters who were supposed to die soon after stepping into the black stone range were not affected at all for the time being, and the search formation spread out all the way and began to climb up.
But it can also be seen that although these monsters have found a way to resist the influence of Xuanshi Mountain, they have no other understanding. From the foot of the mountain, everything is meticulous, and each monster even picked up a few pieces.
The broken black stone was placed in his pocket.
The demon clan did not climb up very fast. Almost half a stick of incense after they climbed the mountain, the nearly a thousand spirit clan who had gathered at the foot of Xuanshi Mountain also started to move.
Like the demon clan, the spirit clan also looked like they were searching, even deliberately keeping a distance from the demon clan while keeping a close eye on them.
And the holes hidden in the cracks or depressions in the black stone mountains are the focus of searches by the demon clan and the spirit clan.
But even the Spirit Race cannot sneak into the black stone. Facing those holes, even if they can get in with the advantage of the retractable soul body, they are still wary of whether there is any danger inside, so no one has tried it yet.
Zhang Yan could see clearly with his senses at a high altitude. Whether it was the demon clan or the spirit clan, they should be in the state of "I don't know what's here, but I know it's dangerous here."
The provocative things inside Xuanshi Mountain were also testing, but they did not drill out. They just swung their tips twice when they were close to the entrance of the hole, and then retracted.
As the demon clan and the spirit clan gradually climbed higher, tentacles stretched out and curled up in the holes that they had just searched, and they seemed to be entangled with each other purposefully, and soon they were like
