Chapter 644 Trace [86 Days Addition]
Hearing this, Li Shifan followed silently, and the two quickly shuttled forward.
As we continue to move forward, we get farther and farther away from the edge entrance, and the surrounding area gradually begins to fog up, getting thicker and thicker. The thick fog has a natural fascination effect, which has a strong impact on Zhang Deming's perception.
In desperation, Zhang Deming kept shrinking his perception, and the detection distance became smaller and smaller. As the surrounding area became darker, until finally, both of them could only rely on their pure eyes to move forward.
Suddenly, while moving forward, Zhang Deming dodged sideways, and Li Shifan also drew his sword and slashed.
"Ding!"
The long sword struck a black metal arm-like thing, and sparks flickered. After Zhang Deming dodged the attack, he also waved his hand, and shot out a long sword.
"Pfft!"
"chirp..."
With a strange sound, Zhang Deming's long sword stabbed the target's vital point, and nailed it not far away. The opponent struggled a few times, and then fell silent.
The two walked forward a few steps before they were able to see the monster's whole picture clearly, and their brows frowned slightly after seeing it clearly.
Even though Li Shifan has been in the Hengduan Mountains all year round and is very familiar with the types of monsters, he asked in doubt: "What the hell is this? Monkey? Evil ghost?"
In front of them, there was a huge and strange creature, about two to three meters tall, a third of which looked like a monkey, but its whole body was pitch black. Four of them were very slender with ghost claws.
The body and head are a little bit thicker, with diamond-shaped spikes like black metal growing everywhere, and the head has a face like a ghost, and there are more diamond-shaped spikes on the head.
Zhang Deming didn't see what it was, so he asked the monitoring elf to call out the database and analyze it carefully.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Deming was a little stunned by the analysis results of the monitor elves.
"It seems to be a demon race?!" Zhang Deming replied like this.
That's right, after the monitoring elves analyzed it, they concluded that this monster is more than 60% likely to be a demon.
"Demon Race?" Li Shifan was puzzled for a moment, and then said in surprise: "The legendary demon race that likes to eat humans, almost destroyed the human race, and ended the battle between the major civilizations of the second era in advance?"
Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Yes!"
"No, isn't it said that the demons lured the demon ancestors to fall, and joined forces with the Qinglong clan of the four elephants and holy beasts to finally wipe out the entire demon civilization? And because of this, the descendants of demons were born!
Even if the legend is true, the entire civilization of the demon race in the legend has disappeared, and the ancestors of the demons have completely disappeared! How could there be any demons left? " Li Shifan said puzzled.
Demon Race: Their civilization is similar to that of the Blood Race, and it is also based on the blood ancestor system. The closer the bloodline is to the ancestor, the stronger, the better the talent, the stronger the cultivation base, and vice versa.
Of course, there is also the unified weakness of the blood ancestor race civilization. The origin of the entire bloodline controls the lifeline of the entire civilization. Once the origin ancestor dies, the entire civilization will disappear.
Not only that, all the magic cultivators and ways of magic in later generations are named after this, because the magic is the first race in Hongmeng that takes humans as the staple food!
Therefore, the 'devil' in the civilization of the human race represents extremely evil.
Zhang Deming looked around the environment and said, "Maybe it's because of the strange environment here!"
"Brother, are you saying..." Li Shifan looked at Zhang Deming in amazement, and said hesitantly, "This is the main battlefield of the Civilization War in the late Second Epoch, the place where the demons perished?"
"Who knows!" Zhang Deming threw out several spirit seeds while the light in Zhang Deming's hands flickered, and some blood-red vines began to emerge from the pitch-black demon body.
As the vines swayed, black lines appeared on the blood-red vines before Zhang Deming could draw out his blood. Zhang Deming also felt a strong erosive force, trying to invade his body along with the technique, and tamper with the essence of his body.
His complexion changed slightly, his mind fluctuated, and he canceled the spell, and the vines shattered and disappeared in an instant.
"Be careful, these are really demon bloodlines. Although they are no longer pure because of the extinction of the demon civilization, they are still highly corrosive. If they are eroded, they are easy to become demons, and the madness will destroy the way!" Zhang Deming looked at this In one scene, he opened his mouth to remind.
"Well, I see!" Li Shifan nodded seriously.
After experiencing this brief interlude, the two of them walked forward with a lot of vigilance, and would encounter such weird creatures from time to time, but most of them were not strong.
Although there is no such thing as cultivation base, the strength can still be compared. The strongest they met was comparable to monsters in the third stage.
······
In this way, the two walked cautiously for most of the day.
Because there is no detailed map and the surrounding environment, the two can only roughly follow the direction in the information.
After half a day, I roughly estimated that the distance they went deep should be almost the same, and then began to search for the specific location carefully.
The ecstasy effect of the surrounding fog was already very strong, and the two of them did not dare to probe out their senses at will, otherwise they would be easily affected and lose their direction. You can only rely on your eyes to search the entire area.
For a moment, Zhang Deming suddenly frowned, looked at Li Shifan and asked, "How long has it been since I met the last monster?"
Li Shifan recalled it for a while, and said: "It's been less than half an hour, and I should have met several before...."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Deming inquiringly with some joy.
Zhang Deming nodded and said: "Looking at it this way, we have found the right place, it should be here.
After all, the Soul Tomb of the Demon Soul Jade can absorb vitality for all living things, and there are no monsters here, which should be caused by living things to avoid instinctively, or be cleaned up directly. "
After confirming their ideas, the two became more motivated, and quickly searched in the rocky forest.
For a moment, the expressions of the two moved slightly, Qiqi stopped and looked ahead.
As the two stopped, a woman suddenly rushed out amidst the fog ahead, looked at the two and said happily, "Two friends, help!"
Zhang Deming and Li Shifan looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces. When the woman got close, they drew their swords almost at the same time. Li Shifan stabbed the opponent's chest with one sword, and Zhang Deming thrust the sword into the opponent's neck.
"Giggle...why?" The woman's speech was a little unclear due to the blood in her throat.
During the speech, her face was full of despair, and she looked at the two strangers who suddenly attacked her with disbelief, her face was full of confusion and puzzlement, coupled with the bleeding from the corner of her mouth, she was somewhat weak and beautiful, coupled with her Such a beautiful face, makes people feel pity.
Zhang Deming's face was full of weirdness, Li Shifan looked at the beautiful woman who was close at hand, turned his head to look at Zhang Deming, and said:
"Didn't everyone say that the soul of the demon fox is a natural charm ghost, so it can be charmed by instinct? Why is it so stupid? This kind of broken place, if you don't kill you, can you still act as a hero to save the beauty?
And monster, your style of clothes is a bit old, you should change it, otherwise you can only deceive some old guys who look young but are very nostalgic! "
Hearing this, Zhang Deming also shook his head, and said: "It should be the reason why this place is isolated from the world, it seems that it has been eroded by the devil energy, and has become a resentful soul, without the agility and self-knowledge like ordinary demon souls. "
Zhang Deming spoke while looking at the beautiful woman. Li Shifan also nodded in agreement, obviously the two wanted to go together.
But the woman in front of her saw the unmoved two people, she suddenly turned into a two-tailed fox with black and red hair.
"jingle..."
After the fox soul appeared, the two long swords piercing through it fell directly to the ground. She snarled at Li Shifan, and wanted to pounce on Li Shifan.
But when Zhang Deming's spiritual light surged, the fox froze, and some dreamy and illusory vines appeared on his body.
As the vines swam, the fox's body began to fluctuate unsteadily, and she struggled violently. There was no effect for a long time, and finally turned into green smoke and disappeared.
"Ding!"
When the fox dissipated, a strange jade, like a soul crystal, fell out of it, and a two-tailed fox demon entwined by vines came alive in the jade.
Zhang Deming waved his hand to look at Yushi, nodded, and said, "It's really the soul refining jade, it seems that there is nothing wrong here!"
Seeing this, Li Shifan also showed some joy, as long as he found the right place.
The Soul of the Demon Fox: It is a strange creature, no, it should be between living things and spirit materials.
It has no necessary relationship with the fox clan. The fox soul body is just that they look like a fox, not the soul of the fox demon.
Just like plantains and bananas, they look the same, but they are not the same kind.
In ancient times, they had another name called Charming Monster.
They belong to the list of mountain spirits and ghosts, but they can't, or they rarely give birth to consciousness, to be precise, autonomous consciousness.
After being conceived from the soul-refining demon-soul jade spirit material, the accompanying demon fox soul has the natural charm ability to conceive and forge jade stones by transforming and devouring all living beings.
Among them, I especially like the human race, because the human soul essence has a very obvious effect on refining the demon soul jade.
Because the image was too similar to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, they were somewhat similar in talent. In ancient times, the Nine-Tailed Clan took a lot of blame for this, which polarized the reputation of the Nine-Tailed Clan.
If they can turn into spirits, that's all. Maybe the fox clan will classify them as a special spirit fox clan.
However, they can't. Seeing that they are as intelligent as ordinary fox demons, they are even born knowing it, and they are born knowing how to transform and how to charm.
But like a resentful ghost, he lives and wanders in a specific environment day and night.
Only when someone or food appears in its perception, will it wake up, and the whole mode of action is no different from some innocent souls.
In other words, they are a kind of special grievances and resentful ghosts born with nature!
And they have a characteristic, they are rarely bred alone, in other words, they are also considered a strange and precious soul mine. Like most jade, it appears in pieces!
Like most of the spirit jade veins, there is chalcedony, and the chalcedony of the mine that refines the demon soul jade is the God Stone. Its quality and how much depends on the quality and size of the vein!
······
Zhang Deming put away the jade, and the two looked at each other, then groped towards the direction the woman came from.
The fog here seems to be unusually large, and the ecstasy effect is also surprisingly strong, as if it has been compressed. Even though Zhang Deming has absorbed his mind perception, he does not protrude at all, and his consciousness is a little trance.
While the spiritual shield was shining, it barely maintained its forward direction without being affected.
After a while, the surrounding fog suddenly cleared away, and Zhang Deming and Li Shifan also looked blankly, looking at the scene in front of them in a daze.
In front of them was a huge valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters. On both sides of the valley was a forest. On one side of the mountain forest, a towering huge ancient tree covered half of the area.
In the middle of the canyon, there is a meadow plain with singing birds and fragrant flowers. In the center of the plain, there is a clear message. The grass is luxuriant and the breeze is gentle. It is a place like a fairyland.
But such a place appeared in this kind of ghost forest, so how to look at it, why is something wrong.
Even if there is no fog around, the dense fog in the entire area is compressed to the surroundings, so that it forms a natural contrast with the dense fog-shrouded cliff forest behind.
"This... the Soul Refining Soul Tomb has affected the environment? So this is a soul nest?" Li Shifan said.
Zhang Deming also showed a little joy. The soul nest of the soul of the multi-tailed demon fox is the vein of refining the demon soul jade. This scale is definitely bred by the God-strike stone, and there is at least a whole share!
Otherwise, this scale cannot be raised!
"Giggle..."
"whee······"
"Ha ha······"
At this time, a string of silver bell-like laughter came from afar. Looking far away, in the distance, on the luxuriant grass, there seemed to be a group of beautiful women playing and playing.
Zhang Deming, who was flickering in his thoughts, came back to his senses in an instant. Under the fluctuation of the hidden breath technique, the air around his body fluctuated slightly, covering Zhang Deming and Li Shifan, making them disappear in place.
The two cautiously drifted towards the depths of the grass. As they drifted closer, they gradually saw the source of the sound.
At this moment, there are more than a dozen women on the grass. They chase and fight, and seem to be living a carefree life, far away from the troubles of the world.
The only difference from humans is that they all have tails. Some women have three fox tails on their backs, some have two, some have four. Zhang Deming even saw a woman with five fox tails.
If it weren't for his previous experience, if he came here suddenly, Zhang Deming might think that this is a place where the Nine-Tails live. No wonder they often take the blame!
But if you watch a few people carefully for some years, you will find that when each of them is disturbed, they are definitely repeating their lives mechanically according to a certain pattern.
In terms of imagery, it is like an NPC village with no players entering the arena. No matter how complicated the setting is, no matter how intelligent it is, it will never jump out of the template.
