Chapter 677 Shadow Rat
For this situation, Yu Dongbao and others seemed to have been prepared for this situation. Several grass-green snake-like things were thrown directly, but several powerful demonic python auras blew away like a whirlwind.
The mud frogs felt the breath of this demonic python, and immediately got into the swamp in shock. The swarm of mud frogs just now disappeared immediately.
"Hurry up, this python vine can only last half a stick of incense." Yu Dongbao shouted quickly and suddenly began to accelerate, his body like lightning.
Lu Xiaotian followed closely behind, and sure enough, after half a stick of incense had passed, the swamp became noisy again. In addition to the mud frogs, there were also some annoying monsters such as monster flies and monster birds. Especially the monster flies, although they are not big, they are densely packed, but those mud frogs seem to have found a new target and are no longer staring at people like Lu Xiaotian. Demonic mud frogs jumped up from the swamp one after another, screaming happily, devouring the demon flies buzzing in the air.
However, there were too many demon flies, and Lu Xiaotian and others gathered around them. Yu Dongbao, Shao Zixia and others held up protective spiritual shields to keep out the demon flies.
Lu Xiaotian also followed suit. In fact, with Lu Xiaotian's physical defense at this time, it was difficult for these low-level monster flies to even break through his physical defense. Of course, being surrounded by these low-level monster flies and stinging them for a while is extremely disturbing.
Not long after flying, in this desolate swamp, where the mist loomed, a sparse forest appeared. In this sparse forest, the original swaying aura seemed to be more intense. Even after taking Soul-Calming Pill, I still feel uncomfortable. If he hadn't taken the elixir, I'm afraid the Golden elixir monk wouldn't have been able to stay in this place for a long time. His soul was as powerful as Lu Xiaotian, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened at this time.
Yu Dongbao still took the lead and landed in front of the grove, then glanced at Shao Zixia and Mu Zixin and said, "The rest is up to you two. Move quickly, the atmosphere here is even weirder. "
"Don't worry, we won't waste time." Mu Zixin nodded, looked at each other with Shao Zixia, and each took out a palm-sized jade cicada. Although the jade cicada was carved from jade, it was still beautiful. Like a living thing. Lifelike, with his palms spread out, the jade cicada fluttered its wings, and two jade cicadas drew green trails in the air.
Zhizhi called out several times and buzzed, and the sparse forest in front of him changed slightly. The faint mist flowed around like water, and a door seemed to open, revealing a low thatched hut inside.
“Let’s go.” Huo Ying looked excited, and this time he shot forward without waiting for Yu Dongbao to speak. Submerged in the low thatched hut.
Mu Zixin followed closely.
Lu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense. The third person entered the hut, and with a creak, the door of the hut seemed to be closed again after the last Yu Dongbao entered.
After entering the hut, Lu Xiaocai discovered that there was something else going on inside. A narrow passage covered with moss, with many low-level demonic vines climbing on it. After winding for hundreds of feet, it turned out to be a brand new place, with gray rocks above the head that were also covered with moss. In some places it is only as high as a human being, while in other places the stone wall above the head is tens of feet or even hundreds of feet high. There is stagnant water in many depressions on the ground, and occasionally water drips from the cracks in the stone walls overhead.
The light was very dim.
Farther away, there was the sound of scattered footsteps and a few panicked voices.
“Someone else is here.” Huo Ying and the others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Meeting other monks in a place like this was no easier than meeting monsters. Outside, they are all descendants of the Immortal Cultivation Family. When there are many people, even if the other monks have bad intentions, they will be more or less afraid of the forces behind them and dare not take action easily. However, in this kind of place where the gods are not responding and the earth is not responding. , there won’t even be anyone to collect the body after death.
“Quick, run away!”
“Woo——” A sad voice sounded in the deep stone cave.
The two female cultivators, Mu Zixin and Shao Zixia, were naturally a little resistant to such shrill sounds. They walked a little closer and hung at the back of the team.
Lu Xiaotian searched with his spiritual consciousness and first found four monks fleeing towards this direction in panic.
The shrill voice sounded again, and two black shadows flashed.
Ah - amidst the piercing screams, an arm of a thin old man who was fleeing at the very back suddenly detached from his body. Where the arm was broken, blood flowed horizontally, and there were also two rows of fine tooth marks. .
The injured, thin old man staggered a few times, and his speed was greatly affected.
"Fellow Taoists, the monsters here are too terrifying. Only by joining forces can we hope to fight against the enemy!" When the man in the purple headscarf saw Yu Dongbao and his group, his panicked face finally showed some joy. Following him were a pair of young twin brothers and sisters, who looked very similar.
As for the thin old man, he had been thrown to the ground by the monster at this time. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not get up again. Yu Dongbao and others looked intently and could only see a few gray shadows. , jumped back and forth in the originally extremely dark field of vision, surrounding the thin old man and biting him. The speed was astonishing. Three times, five divided by two, the thin old man was directly divided into corpses by those gray shadows.
"What a fast speed. I didn't encounter such a terrifying monster last time." Seeing the tragic death of a thin old man and a golden elixir monk, Mu Zixin and others shuddered.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes were sharp. His consciousness was far more powerful than those of the people present. After looking closely, he found that these gray figures turned out to be rat-like existences. The round ears are close to the size of the head. They are black and round, but the eyes are full of fierceness. They rely on the two hind feet to kick the ground. The forelimbs have extremely sharp claws and extremely sharp teeth. The fierce eyes flashed with cunning.
Shadow Rat Weasel! There was such a sinister monster here. Lu Xiaotian quickly remembered that he had seen an extremely terrifying monster mentioned in the Monster Scenery Record written by another man named Nan Pu Zhenren. It was extremely fast and body-like. It is small but has a cruel temperament and extremely powerful attack power. The group can be large or small, from three to five in a small group to dozens of large ones. However, the shadow squirrels we saw in front of us were obviously slightly larger than the rumored ones. Perhaps they had some changes in their growth in this special environment.
"This is the Shadow Rat Weasel. It is extremely fast. Once dispersed, it is very easy to be defeated by each of them. Everyone should form a circle and don't be left alone." Lu Xiaotian said and stood in the middle of the team.
"Shadow Rat Weasel? It's such an evil thing. You really can't be careless." Yu Dongbao couldn't see clearly at this time and glanced at Lu Xiaotian in surprise. None of them, including Huo Ying, could When I figured out the origin of this monster, I just saw a few faint gray shadows, but when I thought about the rumors about the Shadow Rat Weasel, the cry was somewhat similar. So he chose to believe what Lu Xiaotian said, took a few steps back, and stood with Shao Zixia, Lu Xiaotian and others. Lu Xiaotian consciously huddled in the middle of the team, so the risk was the least.
Woo-----
The cry of the Shadow Rat Weasel sounded again, but the purple-turbaned man who escaped before, and the twin brother and sister, this time When he heard Lu Xiaotian's reminder, he also chose the three of them to stand back-to-back, quite close to Yu Dongbao and the others, which was enough to stabilize their position.
Whoosh, Mu Zixin reached out and flicked out a fine green net. The fine net was gentle but not slow. It moved towards a gray shadow in it, but the speed of the Shadow Rat Weasel was a little faster. , when the green net was cast, he quickly avoided it. He pounced and bit Mu Zixin with great ferocity.
Seeing this, Huo Ying opened his mouth and spit out two eagle-claw-shaped magical weapons. He was as flexible as a human's left and right hands and struck at the gray shadow one after another. Although he missed the target, he temporarily blocked the shadow rat and weasel. attack.
“These beasts are really fast.”
The three men with purple turbans were leaning against each other, forming horns with Huo Ying, Yu Dongbao, Lu Xiaotian and others. .
But in the blink of an eye, two more shadow weasels jumped out from the distance, adding up to five of them. They were extremely fast, surrounding everyone and charging to kill them.
Lu Xiaotian and Mu Zixin each formed a medium-sized circle. Lu Xiaotian used the Earth Splitting Knife to block the approaching Shadow Weasel. However, compared to the others, Lu Xiaotian did not show much strength. The power inspired by the Earth Splitting Knife was also relatively limited. Shadow Weasel tentatively After a few attacks, Lu Xiaotian was regarded as a weak point in the defense circle that could be broken through. Suddenly, Lu Xiaotian suffered more attacks.
These beasts can also pick weak persimmons. Lu Xiaotian was speechless for a while. He didn’t want to steal the limelight from Huo Ying and the others in this kind of fight. This was the style of his always keeping a low profile and biding his time. In addition, he came this time , in the eyes of everyone, the first priority is to make alchemy, an alchemist, compared to a normal monk, is a little weaker in the battle of magic. There is nothing wrong with him being lazy. But he didn't expect these shadow weasels to be so cunning.
Faced with the two shadow weasels that attacked at the same time, the earth-shattering knife flashed with golden light, and the blade instantly became sharper. The shining golden blade swayed strangely and quickly in the air, and slashed at the two shadow weasels at the same time. Weasel, the cold bladed shadow weasel poses a deadly threat. Regardless of the sharpness of the blade or the trajectory it cuts, it blocks the path that the Shadow Weasel must take to attack forward.
The two shadow weasels screamed strangely and backed away. Huo Ying saw the right moment, controlled the eagle-claw-shaped magic weapon to grab it from the side, and grabbed a piece of flesh from the retreating Shadow Weasel.
The injured Shadow Weasel screamed angrily, and actually blamed Lu Xiaotian and Huo Ying for the previous incident.
Lu Xiaotian suffered more attacks again, but Huo Ying, who was a late-stage Jindan cultivator, could handle the Shadow Weasel's attacks with ease. The pressure on the others suddenly lightened, and the look of surprise in Yu Dongbao's eyes became more intense. It was a bit surprising that Lu Xiaotian could refine the Treasure Soul Pill with confidence at such an age, and Lu Xiaotian had never shown anything abnormal before, but he He's not a mediocre person, so he couldn't see how fiercely Lu Xiaotian dealt with the counterattacks of two shadow weasels just now.
Forcing the two monsters back at the same time, a seemingly light blow blocked the attack path of the two shadow weasels at the same time. This requires not only high magic power, but also the ability to The kind of extremely precise judgment in a fight. Yu Dongbao didn't know if Lu Xiaotian was blindly fooled. Only those extremely sophisticated late-stage monks could do this. How to achieve the best results with less mana. Yu Dongbao was only seen when the later monks in his family who had been cultivating elixirs for hundreds of years competed with their peers.
At this time, Lu Xiaotian also showed the kind of understatement in danger, which made people suspicious of this mysterious alchemist. On a whim, Yu Dongbao became a little tempted. It was a bit slow to start.
Just as the Qingyue Sword he swung was a few minutes slower, he discovered that Shao Zixia's movements were also half a beat slower for no reason. Looking towards Shao Zixia, the two of them smiled knowingly when they met Shao Zixia's eyes.
Lu Xiaotian did not see the emotional fluctuations between the two of them, but their movements were inexplicably slower, and Huo Ying showed that he was only holding back from the side, taking advantage when there was an advantage, and holding on if there was no advantage. attitude. The pressure on Lu Xiaotian suddenly increased a lot.
Lu Xiaotian's lips twitched. Although the attacks of these shadow weasels were fast, it was not impossible for him to deal with them, but he was not used to taking advantage of them. Facing the two monsters that pounced upon them again, Lu Xiaotian took two steps back, and suddenly a small gap was revealed in the small defensive circle formed by the five of them.
Huo Ying, Yu Dongbao and others were startled at the same time. At a certain distance, with the cooperation of several people, as long as the shadow weasels were not allowed to come in, the monsters would not pose much of a threat. However, Once approached by the Shadow Weasel and killed at close range, with the Shadow Weasel's terrifying speed and its not weak attack power, it is enough to kill him. To pose a fatal threat to them, even Huo Ying, who was in the late stage of Jindan, was frightened into a cold sweat and couldn't help shouting angrily, "What do you want to do, do you want to die?"
"I'm just an alchemist. Master, do you still expect me to be the first to come up to you when you encounter a monster?" Lu Xiaotian replied rudely.
"Forget it, forget it, Brother Lu is right, I was negligent just now." A green cold light flashed from Yu Dongbao's Qingyue Sword, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the area within a few dozen feet. .
Shao Zixia lost no time in reaching out and sprinkled a large amount of crystal green powder.
That's a good idea. Lu Xiaotian immediately realized what Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia had planned. Their reaction speed was not slow.
No matter how fast the Shadow Weasel was, it could not escape the area that instantly enveloped dozens of feet in radius. A lot of green powder fell on the bodies of several shadow weasels. Several shadow weasels rolled on the ground, trembling all over, and could not completely get the green powder off their bodies.
For a time, the five shadow weasels were covered in green light, losing their previous mystery. No matter how fast they moved, there were a total of eight golden elixir monks present, each using their own magic weapon to block the front and back. , blocking the Shadow Weasel's advance and retreat without much effort. The first one to be killed was the one that was injured earlier. As the number of shadow weasels decreased, the monks' advantage was further magnified.
After a while, several shadow weasels running back and forth were all killed.
"Thank you to my fellow Taoists for helping me. If it hadn't been for your help, we would have fallen under the claws of this monster." After killing the demon rat, the leader Zi Huo Ying, a man in a turban, cupped his hands with Yu Dongbao to express his thanks.
"You're welcome. When you encounter a monster, as an immortal, it's the right thing to help each other." Yu Dongbao nodded politely, and then said, "If nothing happens, let's say goodbye and see you again in the future."
