Chapter 993 First Encounter with Ghost Cultivator
The Taiyin Mountains have always been a forbidden area for cultivators.
In the gloomy ghost fog, the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator was also hindered a lot. It is difficult for the cultivator to distinguish the direction. Even the cultivator, if he is not familiar with it, it is easy to get lost, but for Zhou Shu, these are obviously not a problem. If there is some trouble, it is that the moon shuttle cannot be used, the moonlight cannot be seen here at all, and the magic weapon cannot be used, so it can only fly by itself.
All the way to the north, the speed is neither fast nor slow.
You must be careful, in the ghost fog, there are difficult grievances and various monsters, and you may encounter them at the sixth and seventh levels.
Just as he was thinking, a soul-eating vulture appeared in front of him.
The soul-eating vulture, a fifth-level monster, is used to acting alone and loves souls the most. It is proficient in a special formula, soul-eating, which can ignore the monk's protection and body, and directly attack the soul. It is the nightmare of most monks.
The Soul-eating Vulture would not have the slightest effect in the ghost fog. It sensed Zhou Shu from dozens of miles away and rushed over.
Still far away, the soul-eating vulture's eyes flashed a faint green light, shining over like a lamp, especially conspicuous in the dark.
The soul-eating vulture's soul-eating formula has already been activated.
Zhou Shu was also polite. Before the green light approached, he raised his hand and a sword light flew out, cutting the soul-eating vulture in half.
Black feathers scattered in the air and floated everywhere.
However, a vague figure appeared among the scattered feathers, very indistinct in the darkness.
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment. Obviously, this figure was a ghost cultivator, but he didn't feel it before. He didn't feel it until the soul-eating vulture died.
Ghost Xiu does have a special ability in the ghost fog. He can use various environments to hide himself. Even Zhou Shu can't find it if he doesn't pay attention.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't see him.
"Who is your Excellency who broke into my Taiyin Mountain and killed my mount?"
A gloomy voice floated out, suddenly far away and now near, like the voice of the ghost land, quite soul-stirring, it made people feel terrified.
Zhou Shuli stopped, and said from a distance, "So it's the mount of fellow Taoist? Oh, I'm sorry."
The soul-eating vulture before was obviously aimed at them. It was no wonder Zhou Shu didn't take action when he wanted to eat their souls against them. But now he said it was a mount.
But he didn't want to dwell on it for too long.
Everyone in the world of cultivating immortals knows that there are unknown dangers hidden in the mysterious ghost fog, and even the great monks in the tribulation realm dare not take it lightly.
He said no more, and continued on his way north.
But the figure refused to cultivate in vain, his figure shook slightly, and disappeared in the ghost fog.
Soon, the gloomy voice drifted over again, from left to right, up and down, "Should I just say sorry for hurting my mount? Hmph, leave your soul to pay for it!"
Zhou Shu stopped where he was, and shook his head unconsciously. Sure enough, he came here on purpose to find trouble, and set up a trap.
Seeing Zhou Shu stop, the figure thought Zhou Shu was afraid of him, so he couldn't help but let out a sinister smile, "Jie Jie, Jie Jie..."
The laughter was like the cry of a night owl, and it was extremely ear-piercing.
At the same time, many staggered and overlapping figures appeared in the ghost fog. The ghost shadows were numerous, and with the laughter, it became more and more infiltrating.
When ordinary monks encounter this kind of situation, it is often difficult to maintain a stable mind, and it is easy to reveal flaws, and once a flaw is revealed, they will be taken advantage of by ghost cultivators.
Zhou Shu didn't care, and he didn't want to distinguish which of these ghosts was the real body.
The Sea-Treading Seven-section Sword was already in hand, and he swung it out at will, causing waves in the sea, and the first movement with sword intent spread rapidly.
Unstoppable like a sea tide, the ghost mist accumulated for many years was cleared away by the sword formula, revealing a huge clear hole, Yuyu clarified.
In the hollow, a monk trembled slightly, looking at Zhou Shu dully, not knowing what to do.
The ghost fog she relied on disappeared, half of her means were abolished, and her real body was inevitably revealed, but how did she do it?
In an instant, he couldn't move.
A strong pressure, from top to bottom, completely enveloped him, making him unable to move anymore.
Zhou Shu looked at him with a slightly cold expression, "Don't mess with me again, let's go."
Immediately, with a flick of the sword, the ghost cultivator was thrown out directly, and he flew out for an unknown number of miles, but he was no longer seen.
Zhou Shu withdrew his sword and continued to move forward. It took a long time for the place he emptied to be filled again by ghost fog.
"Young master, why did you let him go?"
Zhu Xiaorou had some doubts, "He wants our souls."
"Even if I give it to him standing up, he can't take it away," Zhou Shu said lightly, "In the past in Fangshi, I often heard mortals say that they wanted to kill the management monks in Fangshi. Why did they always ask us for it?" Management fee, but I have lived in it for several years, and I haven’t seen the manager to take care of them, so it’s not worth it.”
Zhu Xiaorou's expression was slightly condensed, and he quickly relaxed, "Understood, son, he doesn't threaten us at all, so don't worry about it."
"Um."
Zhou Shu nodded, "Besides, in Taiyin Mountain, it's best not to kill people. Even if you do, you must be cautious."
Zhu Xiaorou was a little puzzled, "Why?"
"Dead people will attract terrible things," Zhou Shu explained, "In Taiyin Mountain, there are powerful wronged souls hidden somewhere. They usually sleep deeply, but they are very sensitive to fresh souls. Once they sense fresh souls, It will appear. It is easy to kill him, but if his soul attracts such a wronged soul, it may not be easy for me to deal with it. It is better to have one thing less than one more thing."
Under normal circumstances, he seldom explains, but after getting along with Zhu Xiaorou for a long time, he knows that Zhu Xiaorou is different from other women, and he wants to ask everything clearly, otherwise he will have something on his mind. No, he got used to her, so he said a few more words.
"Oh, Xiao Rou understands."
Zhu Xiaorou nodded happily, but soon came another question, "Then he wants to kill us, isn't he afraid of attracting those powerful ghosts?"
Zhou Shu smiled, "Oh, that's why he attacked us."
Zhu Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "So that's it, Xiaorou now understands everything, he wants to use our spirits to lure those powerful souls, and then capture them for his own use. Young master, you really know a lot , following the young master, Xiaorou will always have something to learn."
Looking at Zhou Shu, some stars flashed in her eyes.
Such scenarios often appeared in the last ten years of the secret realm.
In fact, Zhu Xiaorou's idea is also very simple. She knew Zhou Shu the earliest, but compared with other women, she knew Zhou Shu the least, so no matter when, she wanted to get to the bottom of it and know more about Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu didn't quite understand his mentality.
"If you don't want that, just keep going."
Zhou Shu gave her a loving look and continued northward.
