Chapter 377 Monster Eater
The cracks in the space are invisible and will only occasionally cause slight fluctuations. Unless they are at close range, even spiritual consciousness cannot detect them, and the danger is unpredictable.
Except for a few unlucky monks who were accidentally teleported to the edge of the crack, countless casual cultivators and small sect disciples who did not have teleportation talismans died. Once swept by the void storm, there was no chance of survival.
At this time, a handsome young man hiding in a dense forest witnessed a tragic scene with his own eyes.
Seeing several foundation-building monks being swallowed up by the cracks in space, the young man secretly said that he was lucky. He had some impressions of these people. Unlike him, they generally did not enter the realm through the teleportation array, but these people were not as lucky as him. There were no treasures. If you find one, you will die first.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief with a pale face. He did not dare to stay here any longer and carefully escaped out of the dense forest.
His escape speed was extremely slow, for fear that if he were not careful, he would end up like those people.
But not long after he moved forward, the expression on his handsome face suddenly changed. He quickly cast several spells to conceal his figure, and then escaped into a hidden jungle to hide himself completely.
Just a few breaths later, a woman in yellow clothes flew over in front of her on an auspicious cloud, and passed by the sky in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the woman's appearance, the young man hiding in the jungle was slightly startled. He seemed to recognize her, but he did not show up and continued to hide. The woman in yellow didn't notice his presence, and quickly flew away after passing by.
Seeing that the other party was already far away, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the dense forest.
After looking around, he hurriedly left the place.
But the young man didn't know that shortly after leaving the dense forest, a few miles away, the girl in yellow suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise on her face.
"How come the aura of the female cultivator hidden in the woods is vaguely familiar? She seems to be a disciple of our sect?"
The girl in yellow looked confused, stopped where she was and muttered to herself.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Perhaps my perception is wrong. In addition to Brother Ye, Tianqi Sect only sent five people including me and Brother Lu this time. This female cultivator only has a foundation-building cultivator." "Why, he shouldn't be a disciple of our sect."
This girl in yellow is Mu Linger.
After contemplating for a while, she raised her hand lightly, and a broken ancient picture appeared in her hand. The lines on it were complex, but the corners were torn. It was obviously just a broken picture, and judging from the simple appearance of this picture, it was obviously very old. .
"I got this broken picture from the Chen family back then. I don't know where it points. However, there is a red line on this picture that is particularly obvious. It should imply something... I don't know if it is the same as the Tianchi mentioned by the master and the real people. There is some relationship."
"According to my current direction, it should be in the northwest on the residual map. Instead of wandering around aimlessly here, it is better to explore along the directions on the map. Maybe I can gain something."
Mu Ling'er frowned and muttered to herself, looking at the broken picture, and then using her spiritual sense to identify the direction, she chuckled lightly and drove away again.
Although she didn't know what the residual map was referring to, she remembered that the two Supreme Elders and the masters of various peaks had told them to search for Tianchi before leaving. She vaguely felt that the residual map was extraordinary and decided to follow the map. Look for it as indicated above.
However, the Lingtian Realm is tens of thousands of miles wide and has two layers, the inner and outer. It would take who knows how many years to truly explore it, and this map is incomplete. Finding Tianchi with this is tantamount to a dream. At the moment, she can only take one step. Take a look.
…
"Brother Ma, this mountain stream is filled with evil spirits. Are you sure that beast is really hiding here?"
"It's absolutely correct. I've been guarding here for several days. The beast is hiding in the mountain stream in front of me. It lies day and night, and the pattern has never changed. We only need to set up an ambush and wait for it to show up at nightfall. We can try to capture it.”
A few whispers could be heard faintly outside the river.
If you take a closer look, you will find two foundation-building monks. The man called "Brother Ma" has a face with a Chinese character, the corners of his face are like knives and axes, and his whole person exudes a sharp and cold aura.
The other person was wearing a Confucian shirt, with a face like a crown jade, and holding an iron-painted silver hook. Contrary to the sharp aura of the "Brother Ma", this person seemed more calm and reserved.
After another conversation, the man in Confucian shirts said hesitantly: "That said, this blue bird is not an ordinary monster. It is most likely an ancient true spirit. It has absorbed spiritual energy in the spiritual world for many years. I am afraid it is better than the monsters in the outside world." The beast is more powerful, and I’m afraid it’s no match for you and me.”
"Zhang Daoyou, don't worry, this beast is not a real spirit, it is just an ordinary ancient relic. Moreover, this bird is not a blue bird, it seems to be a mutated bird."
The monk surnamed Ma disagreed.
"A mutated bird?" The man in Confucian shirt was shocked when he heard this.
"That's right." The monk surnamed Ma nodded and said: "In the past few days, I have already detected it clearly. This bird seems to feed on absorbing demonic energy. The aura on its body fluctuates. It is only about the upper level of the first level. Depending on you and me, With its strength, it is easy to capture it. Besides, how dare I call you here without any preparation? "
As he spoke, he waved his hand to create a light net intertwined with auras, and pinched the magic formula with both hands. The net swelled in the wind, emitting bursts of astonishing rays of light, covering a hundred feet in radius and covering the entire mountain stream.
Then the monk surnamed Ma made another sacrifice with one hand. The net trembled a few times and then fell from the air. It flickered on the ground for a moment and then disappeared.
Seeing this, the man in Confucian shirt couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and praised repeatedly: "Brother Ma, what kind of magic weapon is this? It has the effect of hiding underground?"
The light net magic weapon just now has an extraordinary aura and seems to be quite spiritual. The monk surnamed Ma hid this treasure underground, obviously intending to trap the mutant blue bird after it appears.
"This is the demon-locking net, a semi-spiritual weapon given by my master before he left. It can be driven by spiritual power and hidden underground for ambush. It cannot be detected by people who are not highly aware. Although the mutant blue bird is powerful, it is a beast after all. It is impossible to be as sensitive as humans. Moreover, this treasure is quite effective in restraining demon power. It will definitely be twice the result with half the effort to deal with it."
The monk surnamed Ma smiled and said proudly.
"It is indeed a good treasure. With it, we can be very sure this time!" The man in the Confucian robes' eyes lit up and became very confident.
"Of course." The monk surnamed Ma smiled and said, "But my magic weapon can only temporarily trap this bird, but it is unable to kill it. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Zhang's iron painting and silver hook are very powerful. When the time comes, I will have to rely on Fellow Daoist's methods."
"Brother Ma, don't worry. Before you and I entered the realm, we agreed to advance and retreat together. If you want to kill this beast, I will help you." The man in the Confucian robe waved his hand and said cheerfully.
The monk surnamed Ma was delighted to hear this, and hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked him, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist."
After some discussion, the two of them immediately concealed their breath, hid in a secret place without any fluctuations, and waited for the prey to appear.
...
The night was hazy.
The mountain stream, which was not very big, was often filled with astonishing demonic energy. If someone had a keen eye, he would find that the mountain stream was full of white bones, all of which were left by ancient demonic beasts of astonishing size. The demonic energy in the sky was emitted from these bones, but for some reason, under the moonlight, the demonic energy emitted from the bones was several times more concentrated than in the daytime.
"Cry."
At some point, a low cry suddenly sounded in the mountain stream, followed by a faint sound of wind, and a shadow circled in the air for several circles and fell to the place with the strongest demonic energy.
It was a bird with dark blue feathers, and its appearance was eight points similar to that of a blue bird, but if you look closely, you will find that this bird has a strong demonic energy, and it is obviously not a true spirit, but more like some kind of ancient demon.
After landing in the center of the mountain stream, it looked up, and a look of joy appeared in its humanized eyes, and then it opened its mouth and ate with relish, taking in all the strong demonic energy around it.
After absorbing the evil spirit of this place, the bird seemed unsatisfied. After looking around, it was ready to move.
But at this time, something strange happened. The surrounding land suddenly glowed with rosy clouds. A huge net a hundred feet wide rose from the ground and surrounded the bird at an extremely fast speed.
There were a few harsh "swoosh" sounds, and a few spiritual lights suddenly appeared in the distance, which showed that someone was controlling the net.
After the spiritual light appeared, the giant net expanded and contracted, trapping the unprepared mutant blue bird.
Encountering this sudden change, the mutant blue bird let out a sharp cry, and a sharp light shot out of its pupils.
It flapped its wings with all its might, and its sharp claws kept grabbing on the giant net, trying to get out of it.
But this net has a hidden spirituality. The more it struggled, the more the sealing power penetrated its body, constantly reducing its demonic power.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this beast feeds on the absorption of demonic energy, which is unprecedented. Such a mutated demonic beast must be full of treasures. Now it has been trapped by me. You should quickly sacrifice the iron painting silver hook to kill it so that I can obtain the inner elixir!"
A sharp shout came, and two figures flew in the air. They were the monk surnamed Ma and the man in Confucian clothes who had been lurking here for a long time.
Without the reminder of the monk surnamed Ma, the man in Confucian clothes immediately raised the magic weapon, sprayed a breath of spiritual energy on it, and then pinched his hands to point at the mutated blue bird in the air, and the iron painting silver hook immediately tore through the night sky and hit it.
But then they saw an extremely horrifying scene.
There seemed to be a trace of mockery in the eyes of the mutated blue bird, and the demonic energy on its body actually rose steadily, showing the breath of a second-level demonic beast, and then sprayed a ball of blazing black flames at the flying iron painting silver hook, which immediately staggered and lost all its spiritual energy.
At the same time, the light net that bound it was burned by the black flames, and its spiritual energy was also decreasing sharply. Then, with a "bang", it broke into pieces.
"Level 2 demon beast! How is this possible!"
"Damn it! It's actually a level 2 demon beast, Mr. Ma, you killed me!"
The faces of the two changed drastically. The man in the Confucian robe cursed the monk surnamed Ma fiercely. This was a level 2 ancient demon. How could they be their enemy? They didn't even care about the magic weapon and hurriedly flew away to escape.
But before they could escape a few steps, a deathly coldness suddenly came from behind. A ball of blazing black flames fell from the sky and engulfed them in an instant. When the flames dissipated, only two charred corpses were left.
At the same time, a figure slowly walked into a dark stone cave in the mountain stream.
