Chapter 266 The Demons Beyond the Four Seas

Before Mu Yi and his team could get close to the coast, a group of monsters immediately rushed out from the coast and attacked them.

A group of gray-green, muscular fishmen exuding a chaotic and ominous aura rushed towards Mu Yi and the others.

These fishmen look similar to apes, but they have a fish head looking up at the stars, and their huge bulging eyes reveal confusion and madness.

They jumped around randomly, sometimes moving forward on two legs, sometimes on all fours.

"Oh oh oh oh~"

Their cacophonous, barking sounds are apparently a clear and complex language, but anyone who tries to understand its meaning is consumed by the confusion and becomes one with them.

Mu Yi looked at these mermen with some disgust, not only because these mermen looked extremely scary, but also because these mermen were using this curious method to launch their attack.

"Network Tip: You are under attack from the Deep One's willpower and are undergoing a willpower roll... The willpower roll succeeds, but your sanity begins to drop slightly, and your sanity begins to be affected."

Even though he passed the will test, Mu Yi was still affected.

This is undoubtedly a rather tricky problem, because it means that the power of these deep diver fishmen comes from a gift from a higher level.

This also means that there is a big guy hidden in this addition.

"Be careful, this group of evil demons can directly attack the soul!"

Someone roared, and the sound echoed between heaven and earth.

The hand seals were changed continuously, and a big hand dropped from the sky, directly smashing all the deep divers and fishmen in the falling range into meat paste.

"Hahaha, a mere disturbance of the soul is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

A middle-aged man flying on a sword laughed loudly, and a sword energy of twenty to thirty meters long whizzed out, directly piercing a bloody path among the divers, and spread out to thirty to fifty meters before dissipating.

"Everyone, be careful. These evil demons are all from outside the domain. Don't take it lightly. Don't come into contact with the flesh and blood of these evil demons!"

An old man with a sage-like appearance held a talisman between his index and middle fingers. He flicked it lightly, and the talisman floated and fixed in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the talisman shattered in an instant, and strands of lightning jumped in the void!
Nourishes—

In an instant, a lightning net emerged, covering the ground within a radius of dozens of meters.

The dense lightning directly turned the Deep Diver Murloc into charcoal, and even a burning smell began to permeate the air.

The rest of the people also displayed their magical powers. Although the Deep Diver Fishman was very powerful, he was no match for these people.

“The quality of this batch of personnel is very high!”

Mu Yi squinted his eyes and observed. The Deep Diver Murloc should be just an ordinary monster of around level 15, while they were at least elite monsters of level 18 or 19, and some of them might even be leaders.

The fight was naturally one-sided. Before Mu Yi even had the chance to make a move, the fishmen on the coast had basically been wiped out.

“Why are you all so positive!”

Mu Yi realized that something seemed wrong, and took out a bow and arrow that had not been used for a long time from his backpack. Although the quality of the bow and arrow was not high, it was enough with the power of the Lord of Arms.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced through a murloc like a meteor and blew it to pieces.

"Network Tips: Kill the Deep Diver Murloc, and Ming Dynasty Military Merit +5!"

Mu Yi understood. No wonder these guys were so active. It turned out to be profitable. No wonder they were as crazy as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

However, Mu Yi did not take any action to compete with these people for military merit. These small monsters were just appetizers, and the real big shots were still to come.

There were several people who had the same idea as Mu Yi. Mu Yi looked at them and found that they basically came from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, except for one person whom he could not quite see through.

According to Mu Yi's estimation, these people should all be half-step legends or so, and they are considered the strongest among this group of people.

As if noticing Mu Yi's gaze, one of the Taoists nodded at Mu Yi in a friendly manner and asked in a voice transmission.

"Please be patient, God. These evil demons are just cannon fodder. They have appeared in coastal areas before. The main event is coming next!"

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows. His identity as the Yin God was quite useful. His reputation in the Ming camp started from respect. It was indeed nice to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

Before the Taoist priest finished speaking, a dense black cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon. Mu Yi looked up and found that it was a group of birds flapping their wings and flying towards them.

However, as Mu Yi's eyes fell on one of the birds, he realized that it was more like a monster that maintained a bird's form like the Deep Diver.

Although their images are completely different, these bird monsters exude the same chaos and madness as the fishmen.

Basically, all the bird monsters in the black cloud have dull eyes, rotten bodies, scales and gills growing on their bodies, and there are even some deformed monsters with multiple wings and heads mixed in.

Like the Deep Ones, these bird monsters screamed and made ugly and terrifying howls that did not sound like the calls of birds at all. They were more like the wailing of a black cat whose tail was stepped on.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law; the law is born from the heart, and it is endless. Taiyi Tianzun, hurry up and obey the command! Break it for me!"

The Taoist priest who had just spoken to Mu Yi had a solemn expression on his face. He made hand gestures and exerted force, bursting out with terrifying power in an instant.

Mu Yi was a little surprised. He was no longer the newbie who knew nothing about Jiuzhou. The Taoist priest used the Taoist "Taiyi Sin-Exorcism, Demon-Slaying and Body-Protecting Spell". Even if it was not as famous as the Tiangang and Disha magic, it was already a first-class magic power.

This Taoist priest is probably only one step away from becoming an immortal.

A ray of divine light swept across the sky, and the bird monsters that formed a black cloud were annihilated in the light column and turned into a blood mist that filled the sky.

However, the blood mist condensed again in the air. Although the number of bird monsters was greatly reduced, they became more deformed, and the number of monsters with multiple heads, wings, and legs increased.

Just looking at it makes people feel shocked, and in fact this is not an illusion, but a real attack on the will.

"Network Tip: You are under a will attack and are undergoing a will test... The will test succeeds, but your sanity begins to drop slightly, and your sanity begins to be affected."

Mu Yi frowned deeper and deeper. He reached out and took out a talisman and activated it. A layer of fluorescence enveloped Mu Yi's body.

This is a calming talisman that can effectively protect the soul and will, but even after using it, the situation still did not improve. "Does existence itself represent chaos and disorder?"

Mu Yi looked at the monsters in the sky solemnly. Compared with those deep divers, the chaos and disorder on these monsters were obviously a level stronger. Simple protection was completely unable to prevent the evaporation of sanity.

However, this degree of evaporation did not have much impact on Mu Yi, it just made him feel uncomfortable instinctively.

It's like watching a bizarre video while eating. If you separate the two, they won't affect each other, but when you put them together, it will make you feel uncomfortable and unable to eat, or even feel nauseous and vomit.

"It seems that you are very familiar with these evil demons?"

Mu Yi pondered for a moment, then turned to ask the others who had not yet taken action.

"Reporting to the Lord, this type of evil demon appeared about thirteen years ago. At that time, they were mainly concentrated in some remote coastal villages. These evil demons would corrode their bodies and transform their blood, so that their descendants would also have the same evil demon blood!"

Seeing that Mu Yi took the initiative to hear the news, someone immediately explained that judging from his appearance, he should be a disciple of Confucianism.

"Most of these hybrid demons have the characteristics of fish monsters and can breathe underwater. Many fishermen call them water ghosts. The ignorant people in remote coastal villages regard them as God-given abilities. Some remote coastal villages rely on these water ghosts to fish and salvage in the ocean and grow!"

"But with the revival of the evil bloodline, these water ghosts will gradually turn into fish monsters and go deep into the seabed. They will fall into madness, gather together to call on the evil god, and try to spread the belief in the evil god!"

"The current Ming Emperor ordered the Jinyiwei and border troops to wipe out these evil demons, but these evil demons have the ability to reproduce underwater and keep resurrecting. The Sitianjian who observe the stars at night all died of madness, leaving only the danger from the ocean."

"The Four Seas Dragon Clan also lost contact during the same period. Without the Four Seas Dragon Clan's jurisdiction, the four seas were in turmoil, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, with frequent floods and droughts."

"The Taoist sect asked the gods in heaven for help and built the Nine Provinces barrier to drive out the evil spirits. The weather was restored and the coastal areas were strictly prohibited from going out to sea. However, the evil spirits were still there and the Ming Dynasty was free from the evil spirits."

"All the countries in the world sent people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and ask for help. The emperor ordered the formation of a fleet to cruise the four seas. One purpose was to expand the territory and include the ocean within the Kyushu barrier. The other was to thoroughly investigate the evil demons and eliminate this disaster from the root!"

Listening to the story, Mu Yi nodded. The background given by the network was too general. After hearing the news, some of the puzzles that puzzled him before were answered.

"I see!"

Mu Yi understood everything. No wonder Zheng He seemed to have known that the enemy would appear. It turned out that the two sides were old acquaintances.

"This should have been a small country before, but judging by the situation, I'm afraid it's in danger..."

As they spoke, several people shook their heads. These small countries did not have a complete system of inheritance. Even if there were extraordinary people, they were just unorthodox. Coupled with the invasion of evil gods, many people would probably believe in evil gods out of ignorance.

"So, it is very likely that we will encounter endless enemies along the way?" Mu Yi's expression was a little subtle. This was not a good thing.

"It's hard to say, but there are also Buddhist monks in Nanyang, so it should be safe for them to protect themselves!"

"If the God is interested, he might as well go and ask Lord Zheng He... God, be careful, the big guys are coming!"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yi had already seen the enemy the other party was talking about.

A flock of giant birds?
It was unlike any known bird or bat on Earth...it was as big as an elephant, but had a head like a horse, and no feathers, but slippery scales instead.

These monsters crossed the void and appeared out of thin air on the battlefield, opening their big mouths and biting at the people who were fighting.

Mu Yi reacted the fastest, and he almost instinctively bent his bow and drew his arrow. The archery expertise brought by the Lord of Arms' magical power made him seem as if he had been immersed in the art of archery for decades, and he shot out arrows in succession without any cost.

The arrows flew through the air like a meteor shower, accurately hitting the heads of these monsters and blowing them to pieces. Some of the extraordinary people who did not react escaped death and could not help but break out in a cold sweat. They hurriedly saluted Mu Yi to express their gratitude, and then put their full attention into dealing with the enemies in front of them.

"Is the Supreme God a military strategist?" A burly general asked in surprise, but his hands did not delay at all while speaking. With a flash of sword, he split the monsters in half.

The movements were clean and neat, filled with the aura of iron-blooded killing.

"That's right!" Mu Yi had no intention of hiding anything. This was not information that needed to be kept secret.

The burly general's respect for Mu Yi increased by another point. Mu Yi didn't quite understand it, but didn't say much.

"It's almost time, the real big guy is about to appear!"

On the battlefield, the ground was boiling and rolling like boiling water, and the blood was half attracted by a whirlpool. Soon, something that looked like a huge dead tree extended from the ground.

When this thing completely emerged from the ground, its complete appearance was revealed.

This is a black creature shaped like a tree trunk with a dark body. They are as tall as trees, with sturdy four legs like sheep's hooves supporting their huge bodies, and a large number of tentacles extending from their bodies.

The main body part is covered with large mouths full of sharp teeth, which flow with turbid mucus and emit a foul smell, just like the coverage of marsh gas.

"Roar!"

With a strange roar, the huge monster twisted its body and looked towards the battlefield.

Although Mu Yi did not see any organs similar to eyes on the other person, he clearly felt a sense of being stared at.

"Network Tip: You are under a will attack and are undergoing a will check... The will check failed, but your sanity began to drop sharply, and your sanity began to be affected. Based on your will, this damage cannot cause any other status effects on you!"

Along with the prompt information on the retina, Mu Yi clearly felt that his brain was covered with a layer of mist and began to become chaotic.

But in the next second, Mu Yi's will rose in his body, instantly dispelling the fog in his mind.

Even Mu Yi was affected, not to mention those extraordinary people who were fighting. Their eyes suddenly began to become turbid and chaotic.

"The Supreme Star, responds to situations without stopping. Exorcise evil spirits and bind demons, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear, mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the spirit is not lost. Hurry up and obey the command!"

A talisman suddenly appeared in the air, casting its bright light on everyone, including Mu Yi's eyes, which became clearer.

"Be careful of your mind! Don't let your mind wander!"

The old monk, who had not taken any action before, shouted loudly, which was like a blow to everyone's heart. In just a moment, all the confusion and chaos disappeared.

With these two approaches working together, the impact of the monster's appearance was instantly limited to the smallest scope.
