Chapter 62: Man can conquer nature
"..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, and finally held back and stopped playing with Lu Xueqi's feet, Qingyun Gate, Fenxiang Valley, Tianyin Temple The people are coming soon.
When doing things, you should consider the occasion.
Faxiang and Fashan arrived first, looking at the ground with strange eyes. There was a mummy lying on the ground that had been drained of blood and essence.
They looked at each other.
My eyes were full of doubts.
This was the first time they saw a corpse that was sucked into a mummified body.
Fa Xiang paused and said: "Amitabha, fellow Taoist Zhang Yuan, what is going on? Could it be that the person in front of you is Jiang Laosan?"
Before Fa Xiang finished speaking, the space around him seemed to They all froze for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the shriveled corpse. There was an indescribable depression and confusion in the air. Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and explained solemnly: "Yes, this is Jiang Laosan. I chased him here, but unexpectedly I encountered a wild dog Taoist. He...he actually sucked Jiang Laosan into a This way.”
When Fashan heard this, his brows furrowed, and a trace of surprise and wariness flashed in his eyes. He looked around, as if searching for any clues left by Taoist Wild Dog, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Taoist Wild Dog? This person is acting strangely, we must be careful and careful."
Zhang Yuan shook his head. , revealed in his eyes A touch of regret: "He has run away. I wanted to keep him, but no matter..." At this point, he paused, as if he was considering his words, and finally just sighed lightly, "That's it, Senior Sister Lu was there in time." After arriving, I stopped pursuing him.”
Lu Xueqi stood next to Zhang Yuan and said softly: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should meet up with others as soon as possible and report the matter to the teachers."
Fa Xiang clasped his hands together and nodded slightly to express Agree: "Lu What the donor said is absolutely true, we need to find out the truth as soon as possible to prevent the demonic people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
Just as everyone was about to leave, a rush of footsteps came from not far away, and then, Li Xun. Zeng Shushu and others also hurriedly arrived. When they saw the scene in front of them, they all looked shocked.
"What...what's going on?" Zeng Shushu's eyes widened and he looked at the mummy in disbelief, his voice trembling.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Yuan briefly told what happened, including how he tracked Jiang Laosan, how he encountered the wild dog Taoist, and how Lu Xueqi came to the rescue in time.
His narrative was clear and logical, making everyone present couldn't help but nod secretly.
Of course...
It is impossible for him to tell the truth.
After all, Jiang Laosan was mummified by his soul-eating stick.
"That's it..."
Although Li Xun was a little confused, he didn't think much about it. Then he seemed to think of something and quickly spoke again: "Now that all of us who are on the right path are gathered together, Together, security is greatly increased , no longer need to be afraid of demons... How about we continue to explore the depths of the ancient cellar?" Hearing this, Zhang Yuan glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone looked eager to continue exploring. There is no objection in the depths of the ancient cellar. He nodded slightly and was secretly vigilant in his heart. After all, the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cellar was full of dangers, but as disciples of the right path, they should move forward bravely to find out the truth and stop the conspiracy of the demonic people.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's continue going deeper." Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice, and then took the lead and walked towards the depths of the ancient cellar. Lu Xueqi followed closely behind. Her figure was light and her steps were firm, like an aloof fairy on top of the snow-capped mountains. Faxiang, Fashan, Li Xun, Zeng Shushu and others also followed one after another, and the figures of the group gradually moved away in the dark ancient cellar.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scene became more and more strange. The walls of the ancient cellar are covered with mottled marks, which seem to tell the vicissitudes of time and the tragic battles in the past. There is a pungent musty smell in the air, and occasionally you can hear the sound of bats flapping their wings, which is chilling.
Zhang Yuan held the soul-eating stick and looked around warily, feeling a faint uneasiness in his heart. However, he did not show any abnormality, but silently quickened his pace, leading everyone towards the depths of the ancient cellar.
Finally, after a long trek, they came to a platform. In front of them stood a huge stone tablet with the words "Dead Soul Abyss" written on it.
The Abyss of Death is bottomless, as if it is a huge black hole, swallowing up all light and sound around it. From time to time, there were shrill wails coming from the bottom of the abyss, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Is this the Necromantic Abyss?" Lu Xueqi looked at the strange scene in front of her, with a tremor in her voice.
Zeng Shushu nodded with a solemn expression: "Yes, this is the Dead Soul Abyss. It is said that this was once a forbidden place for demonic people to practice evil arts, and it was also the burial ground of countless creatures. We must be careful during this trip. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded, and their hearts became more vigilant. They walked cautiously along the edge of the Dead Soul Abyss, fearing that they would fall into this endless abyss accidentally.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, carrying a pungent fishy smell. Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his head and saw a huge black bat swooping down from the sky and heading straight towards them.
“Be careful!”
Zhang Yuan shouted, and the soul-eating stick in his hand instantly burst into dazzling light and struck hard at the black bat.
The black bat seemed to feel the powerful power of the soul-eating stick, and screamed in horror, then turned sharply in the air to avoid Zhang Yuan's attack.
However, it did not leave here, but continued to hover above everyone's heads, looking for the next opportunity to attack.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan was secretly anxious.
He knew that this black bat was just an appetizer, and the real danger was yet to come. He must eliminate this bat as soon as possible, otherwise he would wait for the evil demon to come. They will be in more trouble.
While he was thinking, suddenly, a low roar came from the bottom of the Dead Soul Abyss, and then, a powerful demonic energy rose into the sky, dyeing the surrounding air black.
"No! It's a demonic person!" Zhang Yuan was shocked, turned around and shouted to everyone.
As Zhang Yuan’s voice fell, several demons from the demonic path quickly appeared.
"I saw it right, you were beaten up by a few guys from the Qingyun Sect and you were in such a miserable state." The leader of the Blood Refining Hall, Nian Da, joked. The old man has an ethereal and clear face, is dressed in white clothes, and is carrying a blue fairy sword. He stands in the wind, with flying black hair, and looks like a fairy. The eldest brother was followed by several younger brothers, namely Xiao Zhou, Lin Feng, and the beautiful woman. .
Wild Dog Taoist frowned: "Humph, old man, don't talk sarcastically here. The righteous people are gathered together today. It's good if I can come back alive from them. ”
Lin Feng sneered: "Wild dog, I think you are interested in it but not useful!"
The beautiful woman: "That's right."
Xiao Zhou smiled and asked: "Wild dog , where is Jiang Laosan?”
Hearing this, Wild Dog frowned: “Jiang Laosan is already here. The person who was hit was killed, and I just managed to escape with my life. These are dozens of righteous disciples, and their strength cannot be underestimated."
The elder said this with a smile. The fat of his body shook slightly, and he looked at the righteous person, feeling secretly solemn in his heart.
These righteous people are indeed capable of not getting rid of Jiang Laosan without getting hurt themselves. But that's not enough for him.
"Everyone, be careful."
"Come together."
"Leave these righteous people in the Dead Soul Abyss."
Follow As the old man finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere instantly filled the air.
Zhang Yuan held the soul-devouring stick tightly and stared at the elder and his group with eyes like torches. He knew very well that these people in front of him were the elites of the Demon Cult, and their strength should not be underestimated. Especially the old man, although he looks elegant and immortal on the outside, he is actually ruthless and vicious.
The battle was about to break out. Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, and the spiritual power surged in his body. The soul-eating stick seemed to have come to life in his hand, emitting a faint blue light to compete with the increasingly dense demonic energy around him.
"Righteous disciples, listen to my order and form a formation to meet the enemy!" Zhang Yuan gave the order, and everyone quickly took action and stood in accordance with the previously drilled formation. Lu Xueqi stood in front of the formation holding the Tianya Sword. The tip of the sword touched the ground lightly, surrounded by a faint cold air, like a goddess of ice and snow, preparing to face the coming storm.
The corner of the old man's mouth curled up into a sneer, the blue fairy sword rotated gently in his hand, and then turned into a stream of light, shooting straight at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and with a wave of the soul-eating stick, the two collided in the air, making a deafening roar, and the spiritual power surged, making the surrounding space tremble.
At the same time, Taoist Wild Dog, Lin Feng, and the beautiful woman also used their own unique skills to launch fierce attacks on the righteous disciples. The wild dog Taoist held a crutch covered with runes. When he waved the crutch, a strong wind suddenly blew up, flying sand and rocks, in an attempt to disturb the sight of the righteous disciples;
Lin Feng was dressed in black, with a ghostly figure, constantly shuttling among the crowd, the short blade in his hand flashed with cold light, and every time he swung it out, it was accompanied by a streak of blood; Threads of spiritual power that were as thick as hair were winding around the righteous disciples like spider webs.
The Zhengdao disciples were not to be outdone. The two monks, Faxiang and Fashan, put their hands together and muttered words. The golden light emitted, forming a solid shield to firmly protect everyone's bodies; Zeng Shushu Waving the staff in his hand, he released bursts of flames, trying to disperse the surrounding demonic energy and create more favorable conditions for the battle.
The battle was extremely fierce, with both sides going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other. Zhang Yuan and Nian Laoda were even more inseparable from each other. Their figures moved quickly on the battlefield. Every confrontation was accompanied by an explosion of spiritual power, which shook the entire ancient cellar.
While the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, the beautiful woman suddenly stepped out of the melee and ran straight towards Lu Xueqi. There was a cunning light in her eyes, and she didn't know when there was a rope in her hand that shone with strange light - the Immortal Binding Rope.
Lu Xueqi was concentrating on fighting with a demon disciple, and was caught off guard by this sudden attack. The fairy-binding rope was as flexible as a living thing, and it wrapped around her waist in an instant. Then, a strong binding force came, making her movements instantly slow.
"Xue Qi!" Zhang Yuan was shocked when he saw this, and quickly tried to get away to save him, but he was tightly entangled by the old man and could not escape.
"Humph, a righteous disciple is nothing more than that." The beautiful woman sneered proudly. With a gentle pull on the immortal rope in her hand, Lu Xueqi staggered a few steps and almost fell.
Lu Xueqi's face was pale, but there was no fear in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and tried to break free from the shackles of the immortal rope. However, this fairy-binding rope is a magic treasure and is no small matter. The more she struggles, the stronger the binding force becomes.
"Let her go!" Zhang Yuan roared, and the soul-eating stick in his hand suddenly burst out with more intense light. He tried his best and finally escaped from the entanglement of the old man and went straight to the beauty. The woman left.
The beautiful woman was unhurried. With a slight shake of the immortal rope in her hand, Lu Xueqi was pulled in front of her, acting as a shield to block Zhang Yuan's attack.
"Zhang Yuan, if you dare to take a step forward again, I will kill her!" the beautiful woman threatened, with a hint of coldness in her voice that made people shudder.
Zhang Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped. He held the soul-eating stick tightly, his eyes were red and burning with anger, but he did not dare to act rashly.
"You...you are a vicious woman!" Zhang Yuan said through gritted teeth.
The beautiful woman didn't care. She smiled even brighter, as if she already had a chance to win.
"Lu Xueqi, you didn't expect to fall into my hands, did you?" The beautiful woman smiled proudly. She leaned close to Lu Xueqi's ear and whispered, "Do you know? What I hate the most is you. The aloof look of a righteous disciple. Today, I will give you a taste of despair.”
Although Lu Xueqi was bound by the immortal rope, her eyes were still firm. She looked at the beautiful woman and said coldly: "Huh, evil demon, do you think you can defeat me like this? You are wrong. The spirit of righteousness will never give in."
Beauty When the woman heard this, her expression changed. She didn't expect that Lu Xueqi could maintain such a firm belief in such a desperate situation. She shouted angrily and tightened the immortal rope in her hand again, trying to make Lu Xueqi surrender.
However, Lu Xueqi just gritted her teeth and endured the pain. There was still no fear in her eyes.
At this moment, a sudden strong wave of spiritual power came, and then, a dazzling light cut through the sky and went straight to the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman was caught off guard and was hit by the light. The fairy-binding rope in her hand suddenly lost its power. Lu Xueqi took the opportunity to break free from the restraints.
It turned out that Zeng Shushu cast a powerful spell at the critical moment and rescued Lu Xueqi.
"Xue Qi, are you okay?" Zeng Shushu asked with concern.
Lu Xueqi shook her head. Although her face was still pale, her eyes shone with determination: "I'm fine. Let's continue fighting!"
