Chapter 703 Phantoms Are Numerous, and the Fire Dragon Dies!

A strange atmosphere permeated the scene.

The consciousness of Zhou Yang and the other three scanned and inspected the remains repeatedly, and the aura attached to the pupil technique in their eyes kept flickering. They also kept a close eye on the remains, not letting go of any possible flaws.

However, no matter whether it was a mental scan or pupil observation, none of the three found any abnormalities on the remains.

But this time, neither Zhao Yuanpu nor [Fire Dragon Real Man] questioned Zhou Yang's guess.

They all knew in their hearts that Zhou Yang's guess was well-founded, and it was definitely not alarmist talk.

In fact, now that they have come to their senses, they can easily understand what Zhou Yang is worried about.

They are all seniors who have practiced for more than two thousand years. They have also seen all kinds of unusual and weird events in their lives, and they will not think that it is impossible to happen just because things do not conform to common sense.

"If there is really something here, it can hide from our divine consciousness and pupil magic power, either it is proficient in the way of illusion, and it turns into something here that we cannot distinguish, or it is invisible!"

"Zhao is more inclined to think that it has turned into something, or it is the strange purple flower, or the remains of the ancestor of our sect. These two things must be taken by us, and it is better to use this opportunity to sneak attack !"

"Sun Mou doesn't agree with Zhao Daoyou's conjecture. If it is really proficient in the way of illusion, and can make us not notice the slightest flaw, and transform into some inconspicuous things, wouldn't it be better for us to ignore it and make a sneak attack?"

The three people's spiritual consciousness converged, and each exchanged their own opinions.

When they insist on this kind of thing, it is difficult to convince other people to believe in their own judgment, unless someone can confirm and find out the existence that may be hidden.

"Actually, it's not difficult to prove the conjecture of the two fellow daoists. I'll just let the puppets or spiritual pets go to collect things, so that even if something happens, it won't hurt me at all!"

Zhou Yang said, but looked at Zhao Yuanpu and asked, "Did fellow Daoist Zhao come by himself, or did Zhou help fellow daoist collect the remains of the patriarch of your sect?"

Zhao Yuanpu squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and replied calmly: "It's better for Zhao to welcome back the remains of the ancestor."

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, then waved his hand, took out a khaki talisman from the storage ring to activate it, condensed out of thin air an earth spirit puppet as high as ten feet high, and then separated a wisp of divine consciousness to possess the puppet body, manipulated it to walk towards the remains on the ground.

This kind of puppet shaped by magic is of course not as flexible and easy to use as a puppet magic weapon, and it cannot be used repeatedly, but it is cheaper to make.

At this moment, after the earth spirit puppet walked to the remains on the ground under the control of Zhao Yuanpu, without making any extra temptations, it directly reached out and picked up the remains on the ground and put them in the palm of its hand. The authenticity of the remains.

"The remains are real!"

A dull voice came from the mouth of the earth spirit puppet. Its thick fingers, which were as big as a human arm, took off the storage ring on the finger of the remains with a dexterity that did not match the body shape, and pointed straight at Zhao Yuanpu himself. Dumped it.

"etc!"

Zhou Yang suddenly let out a low voice, looked at Zhao Yuanpu's puzzled eyes and asked, "Zhao Daoyou, don't you find it strange? Even if for some reason, the relics of the patriarch of your sect were not collected, but he fought fiercely with others during his lifetime." Where did all the magical artifacts used back then go? It’s impossible for him to keep his natal magical artifacts in the storage ring all the time, right?”

These few questions from him were as difficult to answer as why the murderer didn't take away Chu Zhennan's relics.

Zhao Yuanpu couldn't answer his questions, so he could only smile wryly: "Zhao understands the meaning of Zhou Daoyou, but this storage ring can't be fake, let Zhao take a look at the contents first, if you can find Zhennan from it The information collected by the patriarch and his old man during his lifetime may be able to solve my doubts."

"Zhou feels... Forget it, maybe Daoyou Zhao is right, then let Daoyou Zhao make his own decision!"

Zhou Yang seemed hesitant to speak, and after a pause, he still sighed slightly and did not persuade him any more.

Zhao Yuanpu is not an idiot. After he reminded him many times, he still showed a look of eagerness to check the storage ring, obviously because there might be something he cared about very much in it.

That being the case, the more he persuaded, the easier it would be to arouse the other party's resentment and deepen the conflict between the two parties.

Now that the situation is unclear, they obviously need to be united in order to cope with the unexpected.

From this point of view, [Fire Dragon Master] is much smarter than him. From the beginning to the end, he never advised or questioned Zhao Yuanpu on this matter.

Seeing that Zhou Yang no longer obstructed him, Zhao Yuanpu felt relieved, and immediately smiled at him, then used his consciousness to check the situation in the storage ring.

The mutation appeared at this time!

Zhao Yuanpu checked the storage ring several times, and kept saying that it could not be fake. When he separated his consciousness to check the contents inside, a strange red mist suddenly burst out towards his head as if a certain element condition had been triggered. Drill away.

But he seemed to be stupefied by fright, and he let the cloud of red mist penetrate into his body without any hindrance.

"Zhao Daoyou!"

"Zhao Daoyou be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang and [Fire Dragon Master] were also so shocked that their scalps went numb, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

While exclaiming, the two also reacted differently.

Zhou Yang directly sacrificed [Golden Pagoda of Qianyang] and went to suppress the corpse, planning to put it in the pagoda to suppress it regardless of everything.

And [Fire Dragon Master] approached him in a hurry, while ignoring the consumption, he spewed out a mouthful of Nascent Soul's life essence and landed on the protective treasure [Fire Dragon Shield], mobilizing the power of this strange treasure to the maximum extent. .

It's just that the change of things has once again exceeded the expectations of the two.

Zhou Yang easily put the corpse into the golden pagoda without encountering the expected resistance at all.

[Fire Dragon Master] was in the middle of approaching him, and was directly surrounded by a large amount of strange red mist gushing out of the gravel on the ground, and let out a scream of "ah".

He didn't even know what the enemy was, and it was convenient for two people to be plotted against one after another. Even if Zhou Yang was as bold as a fight, he couldn't help but feel chills from the bottom of his heart, his face full of horror.

At this time, he really couldn't care less about hiding any clumsiness anymore. While yelling and using the magical power of "subduing the devil golden light" to activate the defensive magical power on the [Evil Resisting Treasure Clothes], he recalled the golden pagoda hanging above his head, and lowered the golden aura to surround him. Tuan Tuan protected him, and in his right hand, he did not know when he had already grasped a scarlet feather fan.

About when he finished all this, the weird red mist finally found him.

When this strange red mist appeared beside him, Zhou Yang's vigilant consciousness didn't detect any abnormality at all. It wasn't until the red mist appeared that he sensed an abnormal mana fluctuation.

But he still failed to find the sneak attacker!

At this time, he didn't know that the sneak attacker had actually mastered extremely advanced invisibility skills, and had been observing the three of them in the dark.

However, this kind of invisibility state, even Zhao Yuanpu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, could not detect even the slightest bit when he was prepared, which is too frightening!

When Zhou Yang was thinking about this, the strange red mist had already moved in front of him.

Like [Fire Dragon Master], the protective golden light hanging from the golden pagoda outside his body did not have much hindering effect on the weird red mist, and was easily penetrated by it.

However, when the red mist touched the protective golden light formed by the [Evil Resisting Treasure Clothes], it obviously encountered great resistance, and was wiped out by the golden mantra on the golden light for most of it, and finally only a little bit was extremely thin The red mist broke through the heavy protection and penetrated into Zhou Yang's body.

As soon as the red mist entered the body, it went straight to the Nascent Soul in Zhou Yang's body, with a very clear purpose.

The frightening thing is that Zhou Yang has no strength to resist this, and can only watch it fall on his Nascent Soul.

As soon as the Nascent Soul was contaminated by the red mist, a burning pain rose from Zhou Yang's Nascent Soul. Zhou Yang could clearly sense that his Nascent Soul's essence was being corroded and destroyed by the strange red mist. The foundation of his practice!

"Ah, die to me!"

Zhou Yang screamed and roared, and Yuanying's body instantly burned with golden flames, trying his best to refine the red mist that invaded his body.

I don't know why, but the red mist that was difficult to eliminate before, seems to have lost that kind of power after infiltrating Zhou Yang's Yuan Ying. Cleaned up.

Even so, Zhou Yang's Nascent Soul lost a lot of vitality when he was messed with by the red mist, and his cultivation was at least a few years back.

This kind of method of harming people's cultivation is the most vicious and disgusting in the world of immortality.

Zhou Yang had been slashed for several years for nothing, and the anger in his heart was beyond words.

He shouted angrily, waved his sleeves and sacrificed a sixth-order magic weapon [Xuanguangying mirror] that had never been used in fighting skills.

[Xuanguangying Mirror] This magic weapon, because it stores many precious preaching images left by [Donglai Immortal], Zhou Yang has always used it as a player.

But it actually also has a special magical power "Zhaoyingxuanguang", which can break through all kinds of invisible magical powers, the magical powers of demon kings, and some hidden formation restrictions.

The enemies that Zhou Yang encountered before did not require him to use this magic weapon, and he was also afraid of damage to this magic weapon, so he never used it in combat.

But now facing a powerful enemy hidden in the dark, Zhou Yang couldn't care less about it.

"Mysterious light shines, and all things appear!"

The precious mirror was suspended in the air, and white light emerged, spreading like ripples, quickly covering the entire rock area with a radius of one hundred feet.

Under the illumination of this "Zhaoying Xuanguang", an extremely dim red figure suddenly appeared from twenty or thirty feet behind Zhou Yang.

"Ah! It's Huo Mei!"

It was not only Zhou Yang who saw the red figure, but also Zhao Yuanpu who had escaped from the strange red mist for some time.

At this time, Zhao Yuanpu's complexion was pale without a trace of blood, and his aura was weak and weak, obviously looking like he was seriously injured.

And he seemed to recognize the origin of the red figure at a glance, and directly revealed its origin with a face full of panic.

Fire charm?

When Zhou Yang heard Zhao Yuanpu's words, he was taken aback for a moment, as if he had never heard of this kind of existence.

But when he carefully recalled the title in his mind, his expression suddenly changed.

The so-called "enchantment" is actually a special monster that is formed after the death of a monk, and the soul is mutated in a special environment due to unexpected circumstances.

It is somewhat similar to ghosts, but it is not like ghosts that can only absorb evil spirits to practice and survive, nor does it have the obvious weakness of being afraid of flames and thunder like ghosts, and it can even control these forces in reverse.

A fire charm is a charm that can control the power of flames.

And any kind of "magic" is naturally proficient in the art of illusion and invisibility. Their attainments in these two areas are few other creatures can match.

Because it is a special monster formed by the soul of a monk under unexpected circumstances, although "Mei" is not like the [Corpse Mandrill] that Zhou Yang encountered before, it retains the memory and wisdom of most of his life, but it is also naturally cunning, sinister and vicious. He likes to torture and kill immortal cultivators and devour their souls to enhance his spiritual cultivation.

Legend has it that as long as the "magic" can keep devouring the soul of a cultivator, it can survive forever without being shackles by longevity.

Moreover, as long as the "enchantment" devours a monk's soul, it can transform into that monk's appearance. This kind of illusion can even simulate the monk's soul breath, making it difficult for those closest to him to detect the abnormality.

Zhou Yang took a closer look at this time, and he found that the appearance of the red figure was very similar to the appearance of the corpse that he had taken into the [Qianyang Golden Pagoda]. In the hands of this fire charm, it was swallowed by it.

Zhao Yuanpu panicked, probably because he discovered this!

The "Huo Mei" obviously didn't expect that his figure would be pierced by the "prey". When the mirror light made it appear, its face showed a look of surprise.

However, as Zhao Yuanpu's exclamation sounded, the astonishment on its face suddenly disappeared. Instead, it smiled ferociously at Zhou Yang, who had revealed its whereabouts, and opened its mouth violently to let out a silent scream.

Immediately, a shrill scream aimed at the monk's spiritual consciousness directly sounded from the depths of Zhou Yang's divine soul. The powerful spiritual consciousness he had always been proud of had completely fallen into a disadvantage in the opponent's spiritual consciousness attack this time. .

"ah!"

He let out an unbearable scream of pain, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were overflowing with bright red blood, and he was already injured by this kind of spiritual attack.

In fact, it was not only him, but also Zhao Yuanpu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who was shocked by the screaming sound like him at this time, and he was no match at all.

And that "Huo Mei" didn't seem to have expected that Zhou Yang, the person with the weakest cultivation base, would have the strongest divine sense in the audience, which made it attack two people with divine sense at the same time, directly because of the unexpected backlash Injured, almost exploded on the spot.

But it survived in the end, and when Zhou Yang and Zhao Yuanpu were busy resisting his spiritual attack, it turned its target on the third person.

If there is one among the three who is restrained the most by "Huo Mei", it must be [Fire Dragon Master].

In front of this unfathomable "Huo Mei" with only one Nascent Soul left, he is like a shelled prawn, ready to be eaten at any time.

Therefore, "Huo Mei" did not choose him as the priority target for sneak attack before, but chose Zhao Yuanpu with the strongest cultivation base.

If it can devour Zhao Yuanpu's Nascent Soul first, the remaining Zhou Yang and [Fire Dragon Master] are lambs waiting to be slaughtered in its eyes and can be eaten at any time.

But now things are not going well, "Huo Mei" can only change the plan and take the next best thing, and eat the "food" that can be eaten first.

The red mist cast by the "Fire Charm" is actually condensed from the fire poisonous evil spirit it collected and its own soul power, and it is specially designed to hurt the monk's soul and soul.

After being surrounded by this red mist with only one Nascent Soul left, [Fire Dragon Master], it is almost impossible to dispel it through refining and dispelling it as quickly as Zhou Yang and Zhao Yuanpu.

Therefore, when "Huo Mei" shifted his target to him, his fate was actually doomed.

I saw that "Huo Mei" moved, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a red light and rushed in front of [Fire Dragon Master]. Shield]'s defense appeared inside the shield.

After that, Zhou Yang and Zhao Yuanpu only heard a scream full of fear and despair from [Fire Dragon Master], and they lost this companion forever.

Jie Jie Jie!

Eerie and strange laughter sounded from all directions, devouring the "fire charm" of the [Fire Dragon Master] Nascent Soul, not only recovering the magical backlash damage suffered before, but even the degenerate body that had not devoured the monk's soul for a long time. Strength has recovered a lot for it.

Zhou Yang had already let the [Xuanguang Mirror] illuminate the rocky area under his feet, but he still couldn't see the figure of "Fire Charm" in the strange smile.

He knew that it wasn't that the invisibility ability of "Huo Mei" had exceeded the limit of this magic weapon, but that the opponent was indeed no longer around here.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, if it really doesn't work, I'll withdraw first, and it won't be too late to avenge fellow Daoist Sun next time I'm ready to deal with this ghostly thing!"

Zhao Yuanpu looked at Zhou Yang with a pale face and said the words of retreat, the panic in his eyes still hadn't completely dissipated.

It's not that he is timid, but that the ability of this "Huo Mei" is really weird and restrains him too much.

His fire-type supernatural powers and magical weapons hardly pose any threat to the "Fire Charm", and the "Fire Charm" whether it is the invisible supernatural power that makes it difficult for him to find, the powerful divine sense attack supernatural power, or the extremely vicious The weird red mist supernatural powers that can cut people's cultivation will eat him to death.

In particular, when he thought that the most talented Zhennan Patriarch in the history of his sect had fallen under the hands of this "Huo Mei", Zhao Yuanpu felt angry and afraid.

His family knew about his own affairs, and he knew that his strength was far from being comparable to that of the Zhennan Patriarch. If he continued to stay here, he would probably follow in the footsteps of that Patriarch.

As for Zhou Yang, he admitted that Zhou Yang has outstanding strength and can often show surprising abilities. For example, this time he took out a sixth-order magic weapon to break the invisible magic power of "Huo Mei".

But Zhao Yuanpu never believed that Zhou Yang could defeat "Huo Mei".

He even suspected that even if those "half-step true immortals" on the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul came, they might not be able to do anything to this "Fire Charm".

"Why doesn't Mr. Zhou understand what fellow Daoist Zhao means? It's just that now I'm afraid it's not you and I can withdraw if we want to. That ghost has been here for thousands of years, and I'm afraid it's already starved to death. It finally came to you and me. How could you be willing to let me go!"

Zhou Yang shook his head slightly, his gloomy and ruthless expression exposed the trace of luck in Zhao Yuanpu's heart.

In fact, his heart is also very heavy. Although the "Fire Charm" is a monster produced by the mutation of the monk's soul, because it does not contain any yin or devil energy, it cannot be restrained by his [Qianyang True Fire]. Not afraid of the attacks of most magic weapons in his hands.

To be missed by such an enemy, Ren Shi, who has always boasted that he is a brave man, feels jealous from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, compared to Zhao Yuanpu, he at least has [Xuanguang Mirror] that can reveal the whereabouts of "Fire Charm", and [Evil Resisting Treasure Clothes] that can block and weaken the opponent's weird red mist attack, but he is not without the power to resist.

"Then what should we do? Are we procrastinating with it like this? It has just swallowed Sun Daoyou's Nascent Soul, and it is probably busy digesting it right now. When it finishes digesting and its strength increases greatly, it is even more impossible for us to be It's a match!"

Although Zhao Yuanpu was terrified in his heart and only wanted to escape from here, he did not lose his ability to think because of this, and immediately expressed his worries with an ugly face.

He understands the power of monsters like "Mei" better than Zhou Yang. For some immortal cultivators, this kind of monster is like a goshawk to a fox. monster!

In the past, once such a monster was found in the world of cultivating immortals, the cultivators would destroy it no matter how much they paid.

Otherwise, when this kind of monster grows up by devouring the soul of the immortal cultivator to increase its strength and prolong its lifespan, it will do more harm than those monks.

Who would have thought that after Zhou Yang listened to his words, he would suddenly look at him indifferently and ask, "Daoyou Zhao, have you ever thought about why this [Fire Charm] is trapped here by tens of thousands?" Years? Logically speaking, with its strength, it is impossible not to get out of the formation outside, and it is impossible to be buried in the sea of ​​magma!"

"Well, Zhou Daoyou means..."

Zhao Yuanpu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, looked at Zhou Yang with bright eyes, and shouted: "Yes, it must be like this, this [Fire Charm] has actually become the earth-bound spirit of this place. Can't get out of here!"

"To be more precise, it should be the earth binding spirit that became the strange purple flower, or it actually became the flower spirit of that strange purple flower!"

Zhou Yang corrected Zhao Yuanpu's words with a strange expression, then looked coldly at the strange purple flowers in the fire pool and said, "How is it? Your excellency thinks Zhou is right?"
