Chapter 1378 Eight-Armed Sword Ape
Looking at the long black worm picked out from the body of the blue-eyed green tiger, Liang Yan and Wu Xin's expressions changed slightly.
"No wonder my 'Demon Sealing Technique' doesn't work on it. It turns out that its center and sea of consciousness are not in the head at all, but on the spine!"
Wuxin suddenly realized, and then He followed the same pattern when he came down, using the magic knife to cut open the back of the Sky-Drilling Rat, and then using the tip of the knife to pick out a long black worm from the spine of the Sky-Drilling Rat.
Without this insect, the Sky-Drilling Rat is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its skin was shriveled and sunken downwards, and it soon became skinny and bones. When the surrounding wind and sand blew gently, the flesh, flesh and skin were turned into powder, leaving only a pile of white bones in place.
At this moment, neither the sky rat nor the blue-eyed green tiger are any different from the spiritual beasts they saw before.
Seeing this strange scene, Liang Yan and Wu Xin's expressions became very solemn.
The two of them each let go of their consciousness and carefully examined the long black worm that they had picked out.
“It seems that the reason why these monsters have survived to this day is this kind of insect. What kind of existence is this? Use your own magical power." Liang Yan murmured to himself while observing the long black insect on the tip of the knife.
Before he could finish his words, Wu Xin beside him suddenly exclaimed:
“This bug actually has real demonic energy in its body!”
“Huh?”
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Xin beside him.
"True demonic energy? Are you sure?"
"You can't be wrong!"
Wuxin replied firmly and decisively.
"This is definitely not an insect beast from your human race, but from our demon race. It's just that this true demonic energy is very weak and you can't detect it."
"Then "Do you know the heel and legs of this insect?" Liang Yan asked.
"Well. I have indeed never seen this kind of insect, but judging from the real demonic energy contained in its body, it seems."
Wuxin thought about it for a while, and finally said slowly: "It seems to have some connection with our Yu clan!"
"That's strange!"
After hearing Wuxin's words, Liang Yan's face changed. There was a strange look on his face, and he muttered: "This is the ruins of Tianji Pavilion, a great Confucian sect. How come there are insect beasts from the True Demon Clan?”
Wuxin thought for a while and said: “Tianji Pavilion is an ancient Confucian sect and has nothing to do with our Demon Clan. However, this sect has been destroyed for many years, and maybe something happened later. What a change we couldn’t imagine.”
“Yeah.”
Liang Yan nodded and looked at the long black insect in front of him again.
The insect was still twisting and struggling on his sword, as if it wanted to escape and burrow into a new host.
“This thing is a scourge, we can’t keep it.”
Liang Yan did not hesitate, pinched the sword formula in his hand, and the purple thunder sword pill’s sword light surged, instantly turning the long black worm into pieces. broken into pieces.
Watching it unintentionally, without hesitation, the demonic energy rolled around and quickly turned the strange insect on the tip of the knife into a pool of blood.
After killing these two strange insects, Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then drew his sword again!
The targets this time are the surrounding five-color peacocks, double-faced ghost vultures, fish-scale beasts, devil wind dragons and purple electric minks.
Under the control of Liang Yan's sword technique, the purple thunder sword light was like a galloping thunder dragon, drawing a large circle in the field, and the sword light shrouded all five monsters in it.
Unlike the Sky-Drilling Rat and the Blue-Eyed Green Tiger, the strength of these five monsters is not strong. They are only equivalent to the level of the human race's Tongxuan realm. Moreover, they have no self-awareness and just wait for the sword light to approach. Only then did he react.
The five monster beasts each made a weird cry and attacked the surroundings indiscriminately. However, Liang Yan didn't give them a chance at all. He just broke the spines of the five monster beasts at the same time with just one sword!
After the cervical vertebrae were broken, unexpectedly, no strange insects appeared, but a pool of dark mud slid out, which also exuded a foul smell.
As the mud slid out, the five-headed monsters including the five-color peacock, the double-faced ghost vulture, and the fish-scale beast, like the previous zodiac rat, rapidly aged and turned into skin and bones. Then the flesh and blood turned into dust, leaving only a pile of bones.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
After a moment, he slowly said: "It seems that the reason why these monster beasts can live for so long depends on some external force, but this external force also has levels. The black mud is obviously lower Level one can only guarantee the immortality of the body, but it has no self-awareness and wanders around here in a daze. The level of the black monster is slightly higher, and the host can act independently. He has a certain awareness and knows how to set up an ambush to attack us."
After listening to Liang Yan's analysis, Wu Xin nodded and agreed: "You are right. This unknown power also has levels. I don't know. Are Sky-Drilling Rats and Blue-Eyed Green Tigers the highest level? If there are more powerful beings above them, it will be very difficult for us to deal with them.”
"What you said is not impossible."
Liang Yan looked solemnly, looked around, and said slowly: "This level is more dangerous than I imagined. Judging from the characteristics of this level of the maze, it was The disciples of Tianji Pavilion who are able to reach this point are no less than the top ten Tianji Pavilion disciples. The level of arrogance! Now that these monsters have undergone unknown changes, the danger we face may be even greater than that of the Tianji Pavilion disciples back then. Do you think we should continue?"
Listen? Liang Yan's question made Wuxin silent for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed.
“Actually, I have already guessed that this trip will not be that simple. Where there are opportunities, there are risks, which cannot be avoided. As long as the two of us are together, I think no matter how big the risk is, we can overcome it. "Wuxin looked into Liang Yan's eyes and said slowly.
"It seems that you have made up your mind." Liang Yan glanced at her, and the solemn look on his face gradually faded.
"Why don't you?"
Wuxin smiled slightly, pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and then reached out to hold Liang Yan's hand.
"Let's go."
"Yeah"
Liang Yan was in a very calm mood at this time. He must break into the Thousand Magic Tower, and there is no risk at all. It will scare him away, not to mention that Wu Xin is with him now, which also gives him a little more confidence.
Holding Wu Xin's hand tightly, Liang Yan no longer hesitated at all, and the two of them walked towards the next room together.
The rest of the trip went very smoothly.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin walked through more than a dozen rooms without encountering much danger.
There are only some broken mechanisms left in these rooms. Although you can occasionally encounter a few monsters, they are just like the five-color peacock and the double-faced ghost vulture. They just wander around in the same place in a daze and do not take any initiative. Intent to attack.
Although there was no danger, both of them knew that they had entered the depths of the maze, so they were very alert and ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
In this way, the two passed through a passage again and came to a new room.
This room is different from the previous ones. There is a turquoise pond in the middle of the room, with white jade bricks paving the way under the feet. The surrounding walls are glowing with a faint golden light, and there are many crisscross scratches on the walls. It looked like someone had slashed it with a sword.
However, none of this attracted Liang Yan and Wu Xin's eyes, because at this moment, their attention was focused on the back of the pond. I saw a tall figure covered in darkness, with his back to them, sitting cross-legged on the bank of the pond.
This is not the back of a person, but a monster.
Liang Yan did not act rashly, because he could clearly feel that this monster was different from the ones he had encountered before!
The two were silent for a moment, and suddenly a sigh came from the front, and then a deep voice slowly spoke:
"How many years have passed. Someone finally came here. "
The voice was cold and a bit desolate.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion in the other's eyes.
This monster in front of me is unusual!
Although the Sky-Drilling Rat and Blue-Eyed Green Tiger encountered before were able to survive, their minds have been distorted and they have turned into monsters, which can be regarded as a price for their "immortality".
But the monster in front of me is still conscious and can even speak, which is a bit incredible.
"Who are you? Are you the gatekeeper on this level?" Liang Yan asked tentatively.
After hearing this, the black figure sighed and said: "You said that puppet? Ever since the change occurred on this floor, he doesn't know where he has been hiding. This floor has long been gone. As long as people get out of the maze, they can enter the next level.”
After hearing the other party's answer, Liang Yan was not happy that the guard puppet was away, but his face became serious.
"Fellow Taoist, what happened on this level?"
Facing this monster with unknown strength, Liang Yan did not neglect the other party, but addressed him as "Fellow Taoist".
After hearing this, the monster did not answer immediately. Instead, it slowly turned around and revealed its face.
What I saw was a black ape with a total of eight arms. Its face was already old and its whole body was skinny.
"You want to know what happened on this level?"
The old ape glanced over, and a light suddenly burst out from his muddy old eyes.
"It's not impossible to tell you, but you have to agree to a condition first." The old ape said slowly.
“What conditions?” Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Simple!" The old ape suddenly grinned, showing his incomplete teeth, and asked: "If I read correctly, you should be a human sword cultivator, right?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression moved slightly, and he thought secretly: "It's strange that my four sword pills are all in the Taixu Gourd at this time. It can be said that I am isolated from the world, and there is no trace of breath leaking at all. How does this demon ape know that I am Sword cultivator?”
Just when he was a little confused , the old ape seemed to see through his thoughts, and said again: "You don't have to wonder, all sword cultivators have a unique smell. I only need to smell it with my nose to know it."
After hearing the old ape's explanation, Liang Yan became more vigilant.
Not only can this monster speak, but its strength is also hidden. Even if Liang Yan has the "Eight Divisions of Evolution" in his body, he can't see the depth of the opponent.
It says it can smell its own sword cultivator, but I don’t know if it’s true or not?
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan slowly said: "So what if I am a sword cultivator?"
After hearing this, the old ape smiled slightly, and then said something shocking:
"I'll tell you the truth. , In fact, I am also a sword cultivator!"
"You?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan was obviously stunned, and then a strange look appeared on his face.
This was the first time he heard about monsters learning swordsmanship!
You must know that the method of sword cultivation was founded by human monks. In ancient times, sword cultivation was prosperous, and it once reached the territory of the demon and demon clans. It's a pity that most of the sword cultivators are self-willed, working alone and not very united. In addition, they act in extreme ways. Even within the human race, mass killings often occur. Therefore, they violated the taboos of the three religions and were jointly suppressed. That's why they So far withered.
The old ape in front of him actually said that he was also a sword cultivator, which surprised Liang Yan.
At this moment, Lao Jin’s voice sounded in Liang Yan’s mind:
“There is nothing surprising. Back then, sword cultivators were rampant. In order to fight against the human race, there were many monsters. The monsters began to practice this magical power. However, most of them have no talent. Only a few rare races can study swordsmanship. The eight-armed sword ape in front of me is one of those rare races!"
< br>
"Eight-armed sword ape!"
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he heard this name.
"I didn't expect that monsters can also learn swordsmanship. This time it opened my eyes."
Liang Yan thought about it and looked at the ape in front of him again. As expected, he found that there was an unyielding aura in it. Sword intent, and this sword intent is deep and restrained. If you don't know it in advance and check it carefully, you can hardly find it.
Now look at the scratches on the surrounding walls, they should all be left by this monster ape.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan felt a little more wary in his heart. He looked at the eight-armed sword ape opposite and said slowly: "Whether you are a sword cultivator or not has nothing to do with me. Let me tell you what the conditions are. You are the only one who is willing to tell me what happened here. "
"It's very simple, as long as you can defeat me with the flying sword in your hand, I will tell you everything that happened here." Jian Yuan stated his request.
"You want to fight with me?" Liang Yan's eyes flashed with light.
"Not bad."
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape nodded and said in a calm voice: "The way of sword is a way of killing. There is no competition, only a fight to the death. The two of us are fighting swords, Only one party can survive. If you kill me, you can search for my soul while it is still alive. Then everything will be clear.”
Liang Yan was a little surprised by Yao Yuan's words. He didn't expect that the moment he opened his mouth, it would be a life and death battle.
"Do we have to do this? Only one of us can survive?" Liang Yan asked in a deep voice.
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape did not answer again, but its eyes had already given the answer.
"Okay" Liang Yan nodded and said slowly: "Since this is the condition you proposed, then I agree to you."
"Thank you!"
After receiving Liang Yan's affirmative reply, a heartfelt smile appeared on the Eight-Armed Sword Ape's face
