Chapter 852: Catching Beasts
The Western Region, the wild Gobi desert, the cold wind is like a knife.
I don't know since when, this vast desert has been filled with a thick layer of evil energy, spreading all around like cloud cotton, and there is no life within a hundred miles.
Once upon a time, this place was home to barbarian tribes, but now there are only ruins of buildings, without any trace of human beings. Only the cold wind that sweeps through from time to time is howling, and there is a suffocating coldness invisible.
It was at noon when the sun was shining brightly, and in a yellow sand basin a few miles away from the magic cloud, several figures were lurking here. They were dressed in dark yellow, hiding in the desert as if they were integrated with the yellow sand. If an expert hadn't come close to sense them, they probably wouldn't have been able to detect their presence.
There were seven people in total, three men and four women. Their cultivation was around the middle stage of magic power. They all stared at a magic cloud in front of them. They seemed to be waiting for something while holding their breaths.
"Junior Sister Qi, are you really reading that right? That spiritual beast really has the magical power to identify the magic cloud and find a way out in the land of immortal tribulation?"
After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from among the group of people. The speaker was a middle-aged man with a curly beard. He squinted his eyes like a cheetah in the desert, showing a ferocious look.
"I saw this with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong." replied a plump woman next to her. She looked to be in her early thirties, with a cold and sharp look in her eyes, and she was always staring at the person in front of her. Mo Yun, as if he was afraid of missing something.
"Now that Senior Sister Qi has said this, the matter must be true. If we can capture the spirit beast, it will be much easier to explore this land of immortal calamity."
"Yes, it has been three years since we came to the Western Region to explore the land of Immortal Tribulation. In the past three years, we have searched many places where demonic energy breeds, but we have not been able to find any useful treasures. Even There have been several instances where people have been sucked into space cracks by demonic energy. If there are spiritual beasts that can identify the direction in the demonic energy, we will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"What you all said makes sense, but we have been waiting here for three days and three nights, and there is still no sign of the spiritual beast. Whether this beast will really appear is still unknown."
"..."
The seven people talked in low voices, with excitement and helplessness on their faces, but they suppressed their tempers and continued to hibernate in place.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have been keeping an eye on this spiritual beast for several months. I found that although its whereabouts are secretive, it will appear in places with strong demonic aura every once in a while. With the concentration of demonic aura in this place, the spiritual beast will They will definitely be attracted, we just need to wait here and wait," said "Senior Sister Qi" confidently.
Seeing her confident look, everyone gradually calmed down and stopped engaging in unnecessary arguments.
"Speaking of which, in the past three years, we have traveled to many places in the Western Region and visited many places where the devil's energy was born, but we have never found the entrance to the legendary void passage. Could it be that the rumors are false? There is no such passage at all. ?" The bearded man was silent for a while, then suddenly changed the topic and said with a gloomy expression.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else's expressions were gloomy and solemn, as if they were extremely unwilling to do so.
"Senior Brother Luo, what you said is wrong."
"Senior Sister Qi" shook his head, with a profound look on his face: "Although we have gained nothing in the past three years, you have also seen that these demonic clouds cannot breed for no reason, and during this period we have indeed discovered some demonic clouds. Some damaged ancient treasure fragments, which have long since disappeared in the world of immortality, must have followed the demonic energy pouring out of the void channel. "
"So Junior Sister Qi means that in order to get the real treasure, we must find the entrance to the void passage?" The bearded man surnamed Luo muttered, "It is rumored that the void passage is dangerous and unpredictable. Even if there is a real treasure inside, with our cultivation Why don’t you enter it, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get close, so how can you hunt for treasure?”
"That's why we have to catch that spiritual beast. With the beast's magical power that is not affected by demonic energy and space cracks, we will definitely be able to lead us safely to the entrance to the void passage. By then, we will be able to enjoy all kinds of treasures!" "Senior Sister Qi" said with feverish eyes.
The big man with the beard looked hesitant, and finally nodded in agreement: "In that case, let's follow what my junior sister said and capture the spiritual beast."
At this point, the big man seemed to think of something again, frowned a pair of thick eyebrows, and said: "But I heard that the void passage was the entrance for extraterrestrial demons to invade our human world in ancient times. Is there really any spiritual world and demon world in this world? Bai The theory of the rising sun?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and "Senior Sister Qi" suddenly became speechless.
"Whether there is a spirit world and a demon world is something that you and I can't know. Judging from some ancient books, this void passage is indeed very strange. It was later sealed by the ancient monks together, and was sealed at the same time. There are also many powerful secret treasures. Now that the demonic energy reappears, the seal must have been loosened, and those secret treasures can also reappear in the world. Regardless of the consequences of the emergence of the demonic energy, these ancient secret treasures alone, as long as we can obtain them, One is a huge opportunity.”
"Senior Sister Qi" said with a deep breath.
"That's right. The emergence of demonic energy has nothing to do with us in the world. As long as we can gain benefits from it, who cares about the life and death of others?" Several people nearby also laughed in a low voice.
"Hehe, Luo certainly knows this truth. He just feels a little aggrieved that he has achieved nothing in the past three years." The bearded man grinned and had no objection to what everyone said.
"Senior Brother Luo, don't worry. As long as we catch that spiritual beast, we will soon be able to explore the entrance to the void passage. Are we afraid that there will be no treasure by then?" "Senior Sister Qi" covered her mouth and chuckled, and the plump flesh on her body followed suit. Her clothes were trembling slightly, she was clearly a girl, but she looked a bit tough.
"Hey, look what that is!"
While several people were talking, one of the men suddenly pointed at the magic cloud in front of them. Everyone's hearts froze and they immediately looked up, only to see a vague white light shooting from the horizon and stopping outside the magic cloud. , trembled a few times and then turned into a small snow-white beast and appeared.
This little beast looks like a pony, but its head is like an auspicious dragon, and its eyes are extremely agile. After landing outside the magic cloud, he lowered his head and sniffed, as if he was searching for some scent, but found nothing, and then ran to the side again.
"It's this spiritual beast! It has indeed appeared!"
"Senior Sister Qi"'s eyes lit up.
"Everyone, be prepared. Although this beast is only a first-level spiritual beast, its perception is extremely sensitive and its escape speed is extremely fast. If it escapes, it will be difficult for us to catch it again."
She stared at the little beast for a while and whispered instructions to everyone.
Everyone had been waiting here for three days and three nights, waiting for this moment. Naturally, they would not be careless in the slightest because of their low level of beast cultivation. They immediately looked at each other and dispersed in a tacit understanding.
The big man with the beard named Luo flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and he patted the Qiankun bag without any explanation. The light in his palm shone brightly, and a dark cloth bag was quietly thrown forward.
Seeing the snow-white little beast approaching, the big man with the beard chuckled twice, and then activated the magic formula. The cloth bag swelled in the wind and opened above the little beast's head without any warning.
There was a loud "Woo-Woo" sound, and suddenly there was a strong wind all around, and the little beast was suddenly frightened.
It turned its head and looked back, and when it saw the cloth bag suddenly appearing in the void, its hair stood on end as if facing a formidable enemy. Then it let out a low roar and crackled and exploded.
A scene that shocked the seven "Senior Sister Qi" appeared. The little beast's body grew taller and taller, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a gigantic beast several feet tall, with the head of a dragon and the body of a horse. Its eyes shot out sharp light.
As soon as it changed, the "little beast" immediately opened its mouth and sprayed at the bag. Suddenly, a dazzling ray of light shot straight up like a rainbow piercing the sun, and hit the bag hard with a "boom".
But the bag seemed to be good. Not only did it not recede under the blow of the light, the violent wind it spurted out became more ferocious, turning into piercing winds that roared crazily around the "little beast".
At the same time, a ring of green light appeared in the air, and "Senior Sister Qi" also took action. She used her hands to perform spells, and suddenly bursts of spiritual light appeared on the ring, and crystal brilliance poured down like raindrops. , the "little beast" was enveloped in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly being surrounded, the "little beast" was so frightened and angry that it let out low whistles one after another, sprayed out one after another of startling rainbows, and continuously attacked the two magic weapons.
However, these two objects came from the hands of two masters in the mana stage. How could they be resisted by a first-level spiritual beast? In less than half a moment, they were defeated by the aura and strong wind, and were about to be put into the cloth bag.
The "little beast" was furious in its eyes, but after looking around, a flash of anthropomorphic wisdom flashed in its eyes. Then it shrank in size and transformed into a mini form again. It quickly dodged the attacks of two magic weapons and then turned around and headed towards The demonic cloud rushed behind him.
"No, it's going to escape into the demonic cloud! This beast is not afraid of demonic energy, and can even identify cracks in the void. Once it escapes into it, we will definitely not be able to catch it!"
"Senior Sister Qi" noticed the "little beast"'s intention, immediately warned him, raised the magic ring and chased after him without any explanation.
The people present were all discerning people, so they naturally saw the little beast's purpose, and they all showed up without "Senior Sister Qi" having to say anything.
The five people who had been hidden in the darkness flashed with light in their hands, and each of them showed a formation flag. When the little beast turned its head and got into the magic cloud, it was thrown upward at the same time. Only a few muffled sounds were heard, and the spiritual light in these array flags directly turned into a thick curtain of light, covering the little beast.
The little beast, which was running wildly towards the magic cloud, suddenly felt that it was blocked in front of it, and couldn't help but panic and bump into each other. However, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not find any way out.
"Hey, let's see where you can run away?" The bearded man named Luo was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to collect the bag and ran towards the little beast.
"Senior Sister Qi" also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly arrived in front of the little beast with her flying light. She had spent a lot of effort to catch this beast, and now she finally got what she wanted. How could she not be extremely happy.
