Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

When it was just dawn.

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue came to a secluded alley in the outer city with low, old houses and dirty streets.

Walking to the gate of the third courtyard in the alley, looking at the charcoal mark on the corner of the wall that looked like a child's graffiti, Mu Qingxue stopped in her tracks and gestured to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang pointed his finger between his eyebrows, and his mental power surged out. He scanned the yard, and said via voice transmission:

"A main room with two side rooms. There are four people living in the main room, one person in the left side room, and two people in the right side room. The atmosphere is not quite right. There is a lot of space under the main room, but there are some kind of restrictions. , unable to penetrate the restriction and get a glimpse of the specific situation."

Mu Qingxue nodded, and said via voice transmission:
"It seems that Guo Xiaojing is hiding here!"

The nearby area is an area inhabited by the poor of the capital and migrant workers. There is a large flow of people and mixed fish and dragons. Many criminals, even killers and assassins, hide and hide in this area.

It is not surprising that Guo Xiaojing is hiding here.

Shen Lang asked: "After finding Guo Xiaojing, should he kill him on the spot, or capture him alive?"

Mu Qingxue pondered for a while:
"Guo Kai was killed because he was afraid that he would be protected by the emperor. Guo Xiaojing fled here to hide, but did not escape into the palace to seek the emperor's protection. It can be seen that he does not know how to refine the immortal elixir, and is of no value to the emperor.

"But he should know a lot of secrets between Guo Kai and the emperor... Capturing him alive, interrogating the secrets, and exposing the canonical punishment may make the emperor restrain himself."

Shen Lang shook his head:
"You want to use black materials to force the emperor to restrain himself? It's impossible, Da Chu, His Majesty, I think he is a master who will not cry when he sees the coffin."

Mu Qingxue had already seen Shen Lang's disrespectful, even contemptuous attitude towards the emperor, and didn't say anything else, only said:

"Let's act, catch Guo Xiaojing first."

When the two jumped together, they flew over the courtyard wall and fell into the courtyard.

As soon as he landed, the doors of the main room and the side rooms on both sides opened one after another, and seven men, women, old and young, armed with weapons, surrounded him stiffly.

Mu Qingxue glanced up, and saw that their expressions were dull, their eyes were straight, and there seemed to be maggots twisting and wriggling under the skin of their faces, and a sullen look flashed in their eyes:
"They were bewitched!"

Among the seven men, women and children, only one strong man showed signs of practicing martial arts, and the other six were just ordinary people.But at this time, they were all controlled by Gu, like a walking corpse, which was obviously the good thing that Guo Xiaojing did.

Shen Lang slapped an old man in front of him to the ground.

As soon as the old man's back touched the ground, he stood up straight with the help of the shock force, without even bending his knees.

Although Shen Lang's slap didn't kill him originally, ordinary people without martial arts should fall unconscious after being hit by it, but the old man not only didn't faint, but also got up immediately, obviously his body was strengthened by Gu insects .

Ho ho!

The seven men, women, old and young roared like beasts from their throats, with muddy saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, they raised their weapons and rushed towards them like zombies.

Mu Qingxue whispered:
"Knock them out first!"

Just as he was about to strike, a ray of moonlight fell from the sky and split into seven strands, covering the seven men, women, and children.

Under the moonlight, the seven men, women, and children stopped walking at the same time, convulsing like a convulsion, and at the same time, foul-smelling black smoke kept coming out of their mouths and noses.

As the black smoke came out, the seven people's facial skin, which seemed to be twisted and wriggled like maggots, quickly returned to normal.

Following the seven people, they collapsed to the ground at the same time, and passed out in a coma.

Seeing this situation, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were slightly startled. Looking around, they saw a girl wearing a dress with arrow sleeves, riding boots and breeches, with more than a dozen braids appearing on the courtyard wall.

The girl was sitting on the top of the wall, with her legs crossed, her calves dangling, her appearance was very playful.

"Your Honor?"

Seeing this pretty girl, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were startled at the same time, and they were about to step forward to salute.

Shhh!
The delicate girl made a silent gesture, blinked playfully, and said via voice transmission:
"Little Fahai, don't shout so loudly, and you don't need to salute. Quietly, don't disturb the thieves."

Shen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"The thief was already alarmed when he first entered the courtyard... Your lord, why are you here?"

Fa Liuli, who looks like a pretty girl, giggled:
"I promised Yan Butou and Yuzhen to help them keep an eye on the movement of the capital. Then when you come out to catch the bad guys, I will naturally follow and take care of them."

Mu Qingxue said:

"My lord, if you meddle in worldly affairs, if the royal real person finds out, I'm afraid you will be in some trouble."

Fa Liuli smiled disapprovingly:
"I also heard the tips, and know that the person who is going to be arrested this time is the remnants of Guo Kai, the Yujing Guan. Guo Kai feeds demons and cannibals. This is not a purely secular matter. I also helped Xiao Fahai find out the identity of the victim before. of.

"Furthermore, as long as you don't tell me, no one will know that I was involved in this matter. Well, stop talking nonsense, you go and arrest people, and I will help you hold the line to prevent the thieves from escaping."

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue looked at each other, said nothing more, and walked quickly towards the main room.

With Fa Liuli in charge here, no matter what arrangement Guo Xiaojing made underground, he would be able to securely take it down.

The two broke into the main room, Shen Lang launched a mental scan and found a mechanism hidden in the mezzanine of the wall, went to open the mechanism, and a secret passage leading to the underground was revealed.

As soon as the secret passage was opened, several black lights shot out from the entrance of the secret passage, and flew towards Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue. They were four black-backed centipedes with wings.

Mu Qingxue flicked her finger, shooting out a little golden light. The golden light split into four parts, and at the same time hit four black-backed flying centipedes, smashing them from head to tail in the blink of an eye.

After killing the four flying centipedes guarding the gate, Mu Qingxue took the lead and stepped into the secret path, followed by Shen Lang, casting spells while walking, blessing "King Kong Immortal Body" and other self-protection spells.

Originally, he wanted to bless Mu Qingxue with defensive spells, but she refused.

"My body-protecting qi can withstand even the spells of the second-rank method for several times. Guo Xiaojing is only a fifth-rank Taoist. If you stand up and let him cast spells at will, he can't break my body-protecting qi. There's no need to waste spells on me."

Mu Qingxue's words made Shen Lang feel a little bit embarrassed - your husband and I are only a mere fifth-grade Taoist cultivation base...

Go down a dozen steps from the stone steps of the secret path, and come to a corner, just after passing the corner, a guillotine descended from the sky, and slashed at Mu Qingxue head-on with the sound of breaking the wind.

Mu Qingxue waved her hand up casually, and with a bang, she slapped the guillotine into two pieces and flew away left and right.

At this time, densely packed small holes opened up on the side walls of the secret passage again, shooting out countless poisoned steel needles.

But Mu Qingxue was protected by the stellar qi, and Shen Lang was also equipped with defensive spells such as Vajra Indestructible Body and Golden Bell Cover. The steel needles fell to the ground without even touching their clothes.

The two of them strode forward with steel needles, and suddenly a few small holes were opened silently in the dome of the secret passage, and several small green snakes flew down, opened their snake kisses, showed their fangs, and bit at Shen Lang, Mu Qingxue.

Shen Lang raised his hand and pointed, and a fire-attached "pointing archery" shot out, piercing into the mouth of a little green snake, shooting it from head to tail in an instant, and roasting it until it was half-baked.

For the other small snakes, Mu Qingxue waved her hand, and a hair-thin golden thread flew out from between her fingers, cutting them into several pieces at once.

The mechanism of this secret path is actually not too weak.

Especially the flying centipedes before and these little green snakes are all Gu worms that have been sacrificed with evil methods, and their lethality is actually quite terrifying.

At least waiting for a rank five martial artist, or a warrior in the early and middle stages of rank four, even if they are careful and step by step, there is still the possibility of being seriously injured or even killed.

It's a pity that the person who came to break into the secret way at this moment is a second-grade stellar energy realm, and a fourth-rank martial arts and fifth-rank dual practitioner of law and martial arts.

All kinds of mechanisms in this secret path are useless in front of the two of them, and they can't even make them slow down a little bit.

After leveling several traps such as poisonous smoke, poisonous fire, ground spear, and Gu bee, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue finally came to the end of the secret path, in front of a stone gate.

Shimen has a restriction, and it is this restriction that prevents Shen Lang from scanning with mental power.

However, although this restriction can block prying eyes, the defense is not too strong.

Standing in front of the door, Mu Qingxue observed carefully with the insight endowed by the "Tianmu Point", and quickly saw through the weak point of the restriction.

She raised her slender snow-white palm, and the wristband made of black gold sand dripped out a golden solution that shone with purple light, covering her palm and turning it into a pair of golden gauntlets.

Then she slowly clenched the palm of her golden gauntlet into a fist, and punched a certain part of Shimen, with a muffled bang, the whole body of Shimen shook, and the place hit by the fist clicked, and dense spider webs burst out crack.

The cracks quickly spread in all directions, and spread all over the entire stone gate in a blink of an eye. Finally, with a crash, the stone gate was completely shattered, turning into countless rubbles no bigger than the size of a fingernail, and scattered all over the place.

Once the stone gate is broken, there is no barrier ahead.

Mu Qingxue and Shen Lang stepped into the door, raised their eyes, and saw a spacious stone hall behind the door.

In the center of the stone hall, there is a white jade altar carved with reliefs of various demons.

A young man in a black robe with a stern face was sitting cross-legged on the top of the altar, with a girl in the same black robe standing by his side.

Seeing Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue breaking into the hall, the young man in black robe said sharply:

"Why? I've already hid underground, out of sight of the light of day. Why don't you evil dogs of God's Hall still refuse to let me go?"

Shen Lang looked at the young man in black with cold eyes, and said lightly:

"Guo Xiaojing, you assisted your master Guo Kai in raising demons and eating people. The crime is heinous and unforgivable. If you are caught without a fight, you can die a good death. If you resist stubbornly, the punishment of Ling Chi is for you!"

Guo Xiaojing said angrily:

"Our master and apprentice are working hard for the emperor! The four-winged demon owl is also raised to make the immortal immortality pill for the emperor! The emperor's old son is the chief culprit. You are so righteous, go catch the emperor, and cut him into pieces!"

You think I don't want to?
But if you give me a chance...

Shen Lang sneered in his heart, but remained calm on his face, and said lightly:
"Guo Xiaojing, standing in front of you is Mu Qingxue, the second-rank god catcher of the Shenchuitang, who is known as the 'ruthless iron judge' in the Jianghu. Your master Guo Kai was beheaded by Mu catcher himself. Capture it without your hands. You have no chance."

The corners of Guo Xiaojing's eyes twitched violently, and he looked at Mu Qingxue fearfully.

After Mu Qingxue came in, she didn't say a word, she just locked the air mechanism firmly on Guo Xiaojing and Guo Xiaojing, so as to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

But at this distance, even if Guo Xiaojing and Guo Xiaojing wanted to fight, they didn't have any chance.

If Mu Qingxue didn't want to be captured alive, she could kill Guo Xiaojing and Guo Xiaojing in an instant, so that they couldn't even release a single spell.

"Mu Qingxue..."

Guo Xiaojing glared at Mu Qingxue viciously, and then looked at the girl in black robe beside her:

"Junior Sister, Mu Qingxue came to arrest us personally, it seems that we are hard to fly."

The black-robed girl's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Brother, do you really want to... take that last step?"

Guo Xiaojing nodded heavily, and said fiercely:

"Only by living can there be hope, even if it is to live, it is ten thousand times better than a good death!"

Hearing that the tone of the two of them was wrong, without further ado, Shen Lang raised his hand and pointed at Guo Xiaojing with a "soul scaring curse".

Mu Qingxue didn't hesitate, flicked her fingers, and two golden lights struck Guo Xiaojing and the girl in black like lightning.

But what is strange is that Guo Xiaojing and the girl in black robe did not make any act of casting spells to resist.

Shen Lang's spell landed on Guo Xiaojing smoothly, making him stiff and dull.

The two dots of golden light that Mu Qingxue shot out pierced Guo Xiaojing and Guo Xiaojing's shoulders more easily.

“So easy?”

Shen Lang was surprised in his heart, but his hands didn't stop. He quickly formed a seal and was about to cast the fifth-level control spell "Forgetfulness Curse".

His fighting style has always been to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and the enemy will not stop until he dies.

Mu Qingxue took a step forward and wanted to rush to the altar to arrest the two of them.

But just as Shen Lang was about to recite the mantra, Mu Qingxue swept under the altar in one step.

Under the skins of Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl on the altar, worm-like marks suddenly appeared.

The traces twisted and squirmed, and soon Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl's exposed skin on the face, neck, and hands burst open one after another, and the traces were blood-red, gray-white, oil-green, or dark. Maggots, protruding from the cracks in their skin, fell to the ground in pieces.

Rao Yimu Qingxue was so bold, seeing this strange situation, he couldn't help but feel his scalp explode, his heart palpitations made him want to vomit, and he stopped instinctively.

No matter how strong she is, she is still a girl. She is naturally afraid of this kind of weird maggots that are constantly twisting and wriggling.

Not to mention Mu Qingxue, even Shen Lang, when he saw Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl, his face became unrecognizable in an instant. Not only did various maggots protrude from the cracks in his skin, but also maggots protruded from his nostrils, mouth, ear holes, and even his eyes. I can't even stand the waves, my San value drops wildly, my back is numb, and I feel nauseous.

"Come back, beware of fraud!"

While suppressing his nausea, Shen Lang greeted Mu Qingxue, and at the same time stretched out his hand to shoot out a series of fireballs.

To deal with this kind of disgusting maggots crawling all over the ground, of course, use the fire spell of large-scale bombardment.

Without saying a word, Mu Qingxue drew back and retreated. At the same time, Shen Lang's continuous fireball also fell in front of the altar.

He has a third-level flame enhancement, and a seventh-level Lianzhu fireball. Under the blessing of flame enhancement, the power is no less powerful than a fifth-level secret technique.

As usual, when such a string of fireballs bombarded, not to mention those maggots, even the altar could be blown into powder.

But the abnormal changes in Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl were unreasonable, and it seemed natural that some unreasonable things would happen next.

So the continuous fireball fired by Shen Lang landed on the altar covered with a thick layer of maggots, without making any sound.

Nine head-sized and powerful red flame fireballs shattered like soap bubbles with a few puffs.

At the same time, the bodies of Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl collapsed with a bang, and all flesh and internal organs disappeared, leaving only the skeleton, broken skin, and hair wrapped in the black robe.

And on the top of the altar, maggots of various colors have been covered layer by layer, like a colorful carpet of constantly wriggling meat, which makes people feel their scalps explode and their bodies feel cold.

Mu Qingxue's palms were already covered with cold sweat, but she still forced herself to stare at the disgusting bug blanket, and asked in a deep voice:
"Shen Lang, what's going on?"

Although she is well-informed, her understanding of Taoism is not as good as that of professional Dharma practitioners, so she can only ask Shen Lang.

However, although Shen Lang scanned his mind full of spell information in the Buddhist scripture hall of the Taoist temple, all the magic spells displayed in the Buddhist scripture hall were serious spells, and the spells of demons and heretics belonged to taboo knowledge, which could not be found in the Buddhist scripture hall.

Of course, there are quite a few common sense books that introduce sorcery and magic skills in the Buddhist scriptures hall. Although there are no specific cultivation methods, you can also use these common sense books to understand some characteristics of sorcery and magic skills, as well as ways to restrain and deal with them .

But Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl turned into maggots, Shen Lang really had never seen it in the book of the Buddhist scriptures hall, so he could only ask:
"Hasn't Guo Kai used this method?"

Mu Qingxue said: "No! Guo Kai refined a lot of powerful Gu worms, but he didn't turn himself into such a ghost."

Shen Lang thought of the old worm of the Jian Tong family, guessed:
"Guo Xiaojing and the others should be using some kind of evil magic technique, it may not be Guo Kaixin's developed, immature Gu technique, let's test it with his disciples first... The souls of Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl should be hidden in a certain place. In one or more Gu worms, I want to use this to escape from birth."

Didn't Guo Xiaojing say that life is better than death?
This move should be the last resort for Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl to "live".

Mu Qingxue said decisively:

"Then kill all the maggots!"

It was impossible to capture them alive, so we had no choice but to wipe out all the maggots and destroy Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl's hope of "surviving".

At that moment, Mu Qingxue raised her right hand and slapped it on the altar.

Following her slap, the air above the altar exploded, layers of milky white air waves exploded, and an invisible force descended from the sky, covering the entire altar and bombarding it fiercely.

The power of a second-rank martial artist's blow is naturally not comparable to Shen Lang's continuous fireball at this stage.

Under the impact of invisible force, the insect carpet on the altar burst out with a puff, bursting out colorful juices, that scene...

vomit!
Shen Lang's san value dropped a lot, he turned his head and retched, and almost vomited out the last night's meal.

The corner of Mu Qingxue's mouth also twitched slightly, she held her breath and closed her eyes, purely based on her breath, she didn't want to look at the altar again.

And the effect of that palm just now shocked her very much.

Her palm was supposed to smash the insect carpet and the white jade altar into pieces.

But in the end, only the thick surface layer of the insect carpet was crushed, while the middle and lower layers of the insect carpet and the white jade altar remained intact.

It felt like some kind of power had absorbed her palm power.

However, since the previous palm smashed the maggots on the surface, it meant that there was a limit to the power to absorb her palm power, and it could not absorb all of her palm power.

That being the case, then hit a few more palms until all the maggots are crushed!
At that moment, Mu Qingxue threw out her palms again and again, the air above the altar exploded continuously, and the air waves were like tides. A series of invisible forces bombarded down, blasting the insect carpet above the altar into colorful colors and splashing juice everywhere.

Like Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang closed his eyes and held his breath, scanning and observing the altar with only his mental power.

At the same time, he also tried to cast spell strike.

However, his strongest attacking spells are only at the fifth rank. Mu Qingxue's palm force can only smash the maggots on the surface with every blow, and most of the palm force is absorbed out of thin air. Shen Lang's spells are naturally even more powerless.

Even casting spells a few times has no effect. I don't know what kind of power is absorbing them. Shen Lang no longer wastes spells needlessly. He only scans and monitors around the altar with mental power, and beware of maggots hiding Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed female primordial spirit. escape.

Boom boom boom...

Mu Qingxue slapped down more than ten times in a row, and the maggots on the altar were crushed and killed layer by layer, and the insect blanket became thinner and thinner.

But at this moment, Shen Lang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Guo Xiaojing and the black-robed girl rely on the means of turning into maggots to survive, but after becoming maggots, even if their souls can be hidden in one or several maggots, mixed among countless maggots, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue couldn't find them, but as long as all the maggots were killed, they would surely die.

How could this be the last resort to survive?
And until now, not a single maggot has escaped from the altar.

All the maggots were densely packed on the altar, allowing Mu Qingxue to attack, without any sign of escaping from the altar.

Reminiscent of the absorption of his own spells, and the fact that most of Mu Qingxue's palm force would be absorbed in every blow, Shen Lang had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:

"There is a problem with the altar!"

"what?"

Mu Qingxue was puzzled, and at the same time, according to the inertia of the previous series of palms, she smashed down with two more palms.

Following the two palms, it fell down.

As if it had finally absorbed enough energy, the white jade altar suddenly burst into a strong light, and the strong light instantly filled the entire stone hall. In the light, there were countless densely packed runes and rituals combined into a ring-shaped magic circle, killing all living things in the entire stone hall. shrouded inside.

Afterwards, the ring-shaped magic circle was surrounded by strong light, rotating at high speed and collapsing inwards, and finally collapsed into a small spot of light above the altar, then flashed and disappeared out of thin air.

In the stone hall, it became empty.

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue disappeared without a trace, and all the living maggots above the altar also disappeared, leaving only the fragments of maggots that splashed everywhere and covered the altar.

After that, the white jade altar creaked and cracked, and collapsed layer by layer.

The fragments of the altar, large and small, continued to crack and disintegrate into smaller fragments when they fell down.

It continued to disintegrate and collapse like this. When the white jade altar finally collapsed completely, in the center of the stone hall, on the ground, there was only a pile of white jade stone powder mixed with countless maggots, and the altar could not be seen at all.

At the same time, in the stone hall, a figure flashed, and Fa Liuli, who looked like a pretty girl, appeared in the hall out of thin air.

She frowned slightly, and with a sweep of her divine sense, she had captured the residual fluctuations after the space shift.

"Void Teleportation Formation? This formation method..."

Fa Liuli was thoughtful.

"Little Fahai and Xiaomu have been teleported away! Fortunately, little Fahai has an exorcism seal that I personally made on his body. Otherwise, the magic circle would self-destruct and disrupt cause and effect. It would be really hard to find them."

Fa Liuli looked at the pile of white jade powder, and there seemed to be countless lights and shadows flickering in his pupils.

In the blink of an eye, she had "seen" where the Exorcism Seal was at the moment, and immediately stepped forward, one step at a time.

Following this step, the space in front of her suddenly swelled with layers of ripples, and then her entire figure, as if melting into the void, suddenly faded and disappeared without a trace.

……

After a whirlwind.

After recovering, Shen Lang found that he and Mu Qingxue had arrived in an empty grotto.

This grotto is not dark.

A lava river flows slowly from a corner of the grotto, making the grotto extremely hot and at the same time bringing a little light to the grotto.

On the tens of feet high dome, there are also patches of luminous moss, blooming a faint red light, reflecting the grotto like dusk under the blood-colored sunset.

The floor of the grotto is uneven. There are not only huge stalagmites more than ten feet high, but also dark caves that seem to be bottomless and lead to nowhere.

On the dome of the grottoes, there seemed to be many dark caves.

In some caves, there are also strange scarlet light spots shining, like the eyes of some kind of creature.

While observing the environment, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue held each other's hand at the same time, and said in unison:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"..."

After a strange silence.

Shen Lang said seriously:

"Master Mu, please take care of me as a man and your husband's mood."

Mu Qingxue is also very serious:
"Of course I know your courage and strength, but sometimes we have to respect the facts. The fact now is that I am still stronger than you."

As she spoke, her two black gold wristbands shone with purple light, and molten gold flowed out, quickly covering her whole body, turning into pieces of gold leaf, connecting and expanding with each other, and putting on that magnificent and mighty golden battle armor in a blink of an eye.

Shen Lang was speechless, took out the "White Dragon Armor" and put it on, and held the "Golden Dragon Sword" in his hand - this knife has been charged by Mu Qingxue, it can emit a 40-meter-long saber aura, powerful It was equivalent to Mu Qingxue hitting with all her strength when she was at the third stage.

Seeing a river of lava next to it, Shen Lang prepared the "Xuanyin Orb" ready to be activated at any time.

Although his third-level flame enhancement can make him persist in the lava for a moment, the fire prevention ability of the Xuanyin Orb is more powerful than the third-level flame enhancement. With the orb on it, he can wave casually in the lava, at least one hour.

"What about the little demons? Don't you ask them to come out and help?"

"The situation is unknown, so we have to keep a few trump cards."

"Well, be careful, I feel that the breath here is not right."

Just as he was speaking, a hoarse voice suddenly came from a stalagmite in front of him:
"Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang...you made us look like this, if I don't smash your corpses to pieces today, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue followed the prestige, and saw two skinned monkey-like monsters squatting on the stalagmite more than ten feet high.

They are only about three feet high, without an inch of skin on their entire body, exposing bloody muscles and tendons, and thick blood dripping continuously.

The bloody water seemed to be highly poisonous, and when it fell on the stalagmite, it made a sizzling corrosion sound and billowed black smoke.

Seeing those two skinned monkeys, Shen Lang's expression froze immediately:
"Blood mandrill? Why are there monsters from the Star Abyss here?"

Shen Lang scanned a common sense book introducing Xingyuan monsters in the Taoist scripture hall, so he recognized the monster like a skinned monkey like a blood mandrill.

Blood mandrills are strong and weak.

But even the weakest blood mandrill has the melee ability equivalent to a fourth-rank Dacheng warrior, as well as a strange talent for magic.

But even in the star abyss, the blood mandrill is an uncommon monster, so how could there be two ends here?

"We didn't fall into the star abyss, did we?"

Shen Lang asked Mu Qingxue in surprise.

"This place is still human."

Mu Qingxue said firmly: "If it were Xingyuan, the ubiquitous devil energy would have already started to corrode us."

Shen Lang nodded, looked at the two bloody mandrills again, and asked:

"You are... Brother and sister Guo Xiaojing? How did you become such a ghost?"

The slightly larger blood mandrill on the left let out a roar, and stared at the two of Shen Lang with resentment in the dark eyes without a trace of white:

"You actually have the guts to ask? If it weren't for your persevering and relentless pursuit, how could my brothers and sisters be forced to send their souls to the corpse soul voodoo? Will we live in the form of Gu worms for the rest of our lives? You have turned us into maggots!"

This blood mandrill was Guo Xiaojing. When he was speaking, the slightly smaller blood mandrill next to him wept and shed tears of blood, eroding the stalagmites into trails of green smoke.

Shen Lang suddenly said:
"So that's it! You didn't turn into blood mandrills, you still look like maggots, and you just occupied the bodies of these two blood mandrills!"

Guo Xiaojing resentfully said:
"Any fleshy body, even the fleshy body of the Star Abyss Demon, will immediately become dead once it is occupied by Corpse Soul Gu! We are just 'wearing' two corpses, and they will rot soon...

"We have to keep changing our bodies, and no matter what body we change, we won't be able to smell, taste, or even touch... Do you know how painful this feeling is?"

Shen Lang spread his hands regretfully:

"Losing the senses of smell, taste, and touch is really miserable, and most of the fun in life is lost! I am deeply sorry for this. But, is it really appropriate for you to blame us? This level? Even when we went to arrest you, you were caught without a fight, so you wouldn’t have fallen to this level, would you?”

Guo Xiaojing smiled sternly and strangely:

"Catch him without a fight, and you will die! It's better to die than to live!"

"Then you are just doing it yourself, and you can't blame us." Shen Lang's face turned cold, and he said lightly, "Where is this place? What's your intention in bringing us here?"

Guo Xiaojing quacked and laughed strangely:

"This is where my master found the four-winged demon owl! Aren't you wondering why there are blood mandrills here? Because this is an outpost for Xingyuan to infiltrate the world! Not only are there blood mandrills here, but also There are more and stronger Star Abyss monsters! Now that you have come here, don't even think about leaving!"

As soon as his words fell, the bloody mandrill next to him suddenly let out a sharp howl.

When the blood mandrill howled, Mu Qingxue had already pointed it out, and a golden light shot out, split into two, and instantly shot into the foreheads of the two blood mandrills.But the two blood drills slammed and turned into two clouds of blood mist, but the howling sound did not stop, and came from another stalagmite.

It is the innate sorcery of the blood mandrill, the blood shadow escape.

The "Blood Shadow Clone Technique" that the spider mother gave Lin Meng, the boss of the seven spider sisters, was developed by referring to the "Blood Shadow Escape" of the blood mandrill.

Mu Qingxue was about to chase after the two bloody mandrills, when there were bursts of ear-piercing screams from the dome of the grotto.

Then group after group of black shadows flew out of the cave on the dome, and rushed towards Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

It was a huge bat with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, two thick hind legs, claws like eagle claws, and a hideous human face.

"Human-faced bat!"

This is another star abyss monster that eats human blood and soul. When preying, it often sucks up the blood and soul of living people in one breath.

This kind of monster is not as powerful as the blood mandrill, and its hand-to-hand combat ability is basically equivalent to that of a fourth-rank entry-level warrior. However, when it appears, it will form a group, and it also has powerful magic. If you are not careful, you may capsize the ship.

At this moment, hundreds of human-faced bats rushed down, and when they were still in the air, they screamed at Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

The whistling sound entered his ears, and Shen Lang only felt a turmoil in his soul, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Fortunately, his soul is strong, and his magic resistance is also extremely strong, but he has come to his senses in an instant, opened his mouth to roar without saying a word, and responded with "Lion's Roar".

The golden ripples of the lion's roar blasted into the group of bats, and the first few human-faced bats that bore the brunt suddenly fell down as if they had been hit with a sap, bleeding from their seven orifices.

At the same time, Mu Qingxue stretched out her five fingers, and slammed a palm towards the sky. The invisible force of her palm shot out into the sky, and with a bang, more than a dozen human-faced bats were blasted to pieces.

Groups of human-faced bats can threaten the early and mid-stage warriors of the third rank.

But the problem is, this is a second-rank Stellar Qi Realm martial artist...

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue couldn't help Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue with hundreds of human-faced bats, but there were not only blood mandrills and human-faced bats in this magic cave.

Just when Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were dealing with the siege of human-faced bats.

Out of those bottomless caves on the ground that lead to nowhere, a black head suddenly jumped out, its body was like a leopard, its face was like a jackal, its eyes were just two holes emitting black smoke, and the end of its tail was longer. A monster with a snake's head.

"Shadow jackals! Be careful, they can sneak into the shadows!"

Before the words finished, a shadow jackal jumped out from the shadow under Mu Qingxue's feet, and one bit at Mu Qingxue's calf.

Mu Qingxue snorted coldly, tapped her heel lightly, and the thick heels of the golden combat boots slammed, kicking the shadow jackal's head off.

Although this kind of monster has the ability to sneak into the shadows, its melee combat ability is not too strong, but it is fast and highly poisonous.Especially the snake head on the tail, if one bites it, the martial artist of the fourth rank will ascend to heaven on the spot.

However, Mu Qingxue is wearing a golden battle armor. With the blessing of golden qi, the supposedly soft golden armor is far stronger than the "White Dragon Armor" on Shen Lang. Break their big teeth.

Mu Qingxue punched and kicked, smashing bats and jackals with heads and heads with ease, Shen Lang could hardly catch any strange blows by her side, he could only occasionally pick up a leak and make up for it.

However, such a relaxed and comfortable situation soon changed.

In the lava river in the corner of the grotto, there was a sudden bang, and a wave of fire erupted into the sky.

When the lava was flying, a huge tentacle with eye-like red patterns all over its body, protruding from the lava river, swept towards Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

Bang bang bang!
The tentacle's brute force is boundless, and where it passes, stalagmites more than ten feet high will shatter when touched, and the broken stones are like cannonballs shooting out in all directions.And all the human-faced bats and shadow jackals that blocked its sweeping path exploded into powder one after another, and the shattered corpses burst into flames again, and were reduced to ashes before they hit the ground.

Shen Lang didn't know the origin of this tentacle, but looking at the sweeping posture, he knew that it was definitely not a good kind.

Facing the huge tentacles that had the potential to sweep away thousands of troops, Mu Qingxue's expression froze, and with a yell, she slammed her boots on the ground, and when the ground exploded, she flew towards the tentacles like a shell fired from a gun, and at the same time His right hand clenched his fist violently, and he punched the tentacles.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, a huge ball of flames erupted from the place where Mu Qingxue's fist collided with the tentacle.The scorching flames even illuminated the entire grotto.

Mu Qingxue's body was shaken, and she was thrown backwards, flying more than ten feet away, before she forcibly fell to the ground.

After landing, she continued to slide backwards, and her boots plowed two deep cracks in the ground until she hit a stalagmite and knocked the stalagmite down, barely stopping her retreat.

But the huge tentacle, under this collision, only paused for a moment, froze for a moment, and then continued to sweep towards Shen Lang—Mu Qingxue was pushed back too far by it, the length was limited, and she couldn't reach it up.

Seeing this, Mu Qingxue's expression changed slightly, and she quickly reminded:

"Don't touch it head-on! Its power is still higher than that of a second-rank warrior!"

While speaking, he stomped on the ground again and flew towards the tentacles.

Of course Shen Lang knew that this tentacle was untouchable, so he spread out a pair of metal wings on his back and shot up into the sky.

The tentacles swept under Shen Lang, but failed to touch him.But those eye-like patterns on the tentacles suddenly opened all at once, and they were actually eyes with blood-red pupils, and the white parts of the eyes were pitch-black eyes!
Hundreds of strange eyes stared at Shen Lang at the same time, and Shen Lang felt his whole body go stiff, every muscle, tendon, and blood vessel seemed to have its own will, turning into tentacles and breaking free from him.

If it weren't for the heavy shields such as the Vajra Indestructible Body and Golden Bell Cover on his body, and the magic resistance provided by skin strengthening, bone strengthening, and vitality strengthening, he might have become covered in tentacles. monster.

In a critical moment, Mu Qingxue rushed to the tentacle and punched the tentacle again.

But at this moment, most of the eyeballs on the tentacles rolled around, and they stared at Mu Qingxue tightly again.

Although Mu Qingxue didn't have the feeling that Shen Lang's muscles, tendons, and blood vessels were about to turn into tentacles, her whole body froze, as if bound by countless invisible silk strings, and her movements froze for a moment.

Although she quickly burst out of her qi and broke free from the restraints, the tentacles were already roaring and sweeping towards her. Mu Qingxue had no choice but to withdraw her fists, fold her arms across her chest, and made a gesture of blocking.

boom!
There was a loud explosion, and another ball of flame burst out, Mu Qingxue was blown away by the tentacle, and was thrown tens of feet away again.

This time, before landing, she opened a pair of huge wings that seemed to be made of gold and condensed with light, and slammed, forcefully shedding the momentum, and rushed towards the tentacles at a faster speed than before.

And Shen Lang also seized the brief opportunity when the tentacles repelled Mu Qingxue, regained his ability to move, and cast spells repeatedly, blasting and killing several human-faced bats that tried to kill him.

After that, it flew away from the lava river, and at the same time reminded Mu Qingxue:

"Don't touch that monster head-on! Dodge first, wait for support!"

Fa Liuli had been in the courtyard before, and everything that happened in the underground stone hall could not have been hidden from her perception.

And Shen Lang has the "Magic Exorcism Seal" made by Fa Liuli himself. No matter how far they have been teleported, as long as they are still in the world, Fa Liuli can use the "Magic Exorcism Seal" to lock their location and come here with "magic feet". support.

But Mu Qingxue said: "It's coming out! It can't be avoided!"

Shen Lang turned his head and saw a huge figure floating out of the lava river. It was a monster with a humanoid upper body and dozens of tentacles below the waist.

Looking at the dozens of equally huge tentacles, and then looking at the half-length giant with a height of nearly 20 meters, the whole body is densely covered with flame patterns, and his eyes are closed, Shen Lang can't help but feel his scalp go numb——

That monster can suppress Mu Qingxue with a single tentacle and with its eyes closed. If dozens of tentacles come out at once, and then open its eyes to fight seriously, how can Mu Qingxue be its opponent?

The key is that the scope of this grotto is limited, and I don't know where the exit is, so there is no place to hide if I want to hide!

Just when the half-length giant's eyelids were trembling, as if he was about to open his eyes.

A ray of bright moonlight suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the half-length giant.

Seeing this moonlight, Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief:
"Support is here!"

Under the moonlight.

The trembling eyelids of the giant half body became calm, and the dozens of tentacles that were climbing towards the shore to besiege Mu Qingxue also shrank back one after another, sinking into the lava.

Even the first tentacle retreated into the molten river.

After that, the huge body of the giant sank into the lava river little by little.

The lava river returned to calm.

The moonlight that caused the giant to return to sleep in the lava river suddenly fell to the river bank and turned into a delicate girl with a dozen braids.

It was Fa Liuli.

She smiled at Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue, clasped her hands together, and recited the "Ganlin Mantra".

Like the sound of a fairy, in the sound of mantras like the sounds of nature, crystal-like rain falls from the sky.

Human-faced bats, shadow jackals, and other Star Abyss monsters that tried to attack, once they were touched by Gan Lin, even if they only touched a drop, they would lose their strength instantly and collapse on the ground.

And as more rain fell on them, the bodies of the monsters gradually melted into clear water, and the demon energy was also purified.

The two bloody mandrills transformed by Guo Xiaojing and his junior sister also wailed and turned into clear water, but Fa Liuli did not kill the two "corpse soul Gu", but captured them from the air and sealed them in a jade bottle.

In a blink of an eye, all the demons in the cave were wiped out by Fa Liuli.

Fa Liuli has the weakest attack power among the first ranks in the current world, but that is only compared with other first ranks in Dongtu.

Fa Liuli still has absolute power to suppress people below the first rank.

After handing over the clean bottle to Mu Qingxue who rushed over, Fa Liuli looked at the lava river with a serious expression:
"The monster in the lava river... I seem to know it."

"What?" Shen Lang was stunned: "Your Honor has seen that monster?"

"No." Fa Liuli shook her head, with a strange expression on her face: "I mean, I seem to have seen its human appearance before."

"This..." Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue looked at each other in surprise.

"I can't say I've seen it, I should say, I've seen his portrait." Fa Liuli said: "The facial features of the monster are very similar to that of a man named 'Li Jin' in the last years of the previous dynasty, when the heroes were fighting for hegemony. The overlord..."

Just about to talk about Li Jin's deeds in detail, a deep and old male voice suddenly sounded:

"Junior Sister Liuli, are you safe?"
