Chapter 345 Bait
A dilapidated kitchen, an old servant carrying a bloody kitchen knife. He was wearing gray clothes and a heather-gray apron in front of him. His wrinkled old face looked particularly strange.
"A puppet you made?"
Chen Luo looked at this man with his spiritual consciousness, and his active external brain made his aura constantly change. Like the old servant holding the knife in front of him, he did not look like a righteous monk, and there was an evil aura about him. Not to mention the old servant opposite, his whole body was filled with blood and evil spirit.
"The food will be ready soon, but this time, we won't invite guests to sit down."
The old servant did not respond to Chen Luo's words and continued to speak with a smile.
Not invited to sit down? Chen Luo thought about the meaning of the old guy's words and what the 'dish' in his mouth was.
Can't see through.
This old guy is even weirder than the previous actor. The most important thing is that he feels a threat from this person, which is something that the previous actor did not possess.
'puppet. ’
The mummy brain came to a conclusion neatly.
Or a puppet?
Chen Luo really didn't expect this time that the guy who made the puppet was so cautious and never had direct contact with people. As long as the ones who came out were all puppets. This person maximizes the advantages of a puppet monk and never puts himself in danger. Compared with him, the level of actors is obviously much lower. Everyone is a 'deviant', but they are not on the same level. The actor is a bandit who robs homes and houses, and the puppet monk is obviously engaged in big business.
After understanding that the other party was a puppet, Chen Luo stopped looking at him.
He followed the damage on the wall and finally found the node, which was the well in the backyard.
‘Yin and Yang rotate, after thirteen breaths. ’
With more than four hundred brains processing together, the mummy brain successfully calculated the opportunity to leave. Chen Luo walked in from the damaged hole and stood by the well silently counting the time. The old servant holding the knife did not look at him anymore and continued to resume his actions, turned around and started chopping meat.
The two do not interfere with each other.
Thirteen breaths later, Chen Luo moved his feet and stepped into the well.
The bright sunshine shone down from above.
It's daylight outside.
Chen Luo stood on the stone steps at the entrance to the foot of Fox Mountain. The town at the foot of the mountain was operating normally. Ordinary people in the town were still living as usual. Everything was the same as in memory. The only difference was that the inn was gone. .
Gu Changkong and the three people who stayed in the inn never came back.
The three alchemy fellows invited by Granny Hu were taken away by the inn before they could reach the mountain.
"Disappeared?"
Chen Luo turned around and looked at the path behind him. His consciousness dispersed. There was no change in the inn in the town. The waiters were soliciting customers and the drinkers were noisy inside. The only difference was that these people were no longer puppets. But real people.
Such a big inn appeared out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air. No one knew when it came and when it left.
“It’s not like everything has disappeared.”
Chen Luo raised his head and looked at Hu Mountain behind him. The brain of the Inner Demon Ancestor suddenly became active. He sensed his stumps on the mountain.
'My right hand. ’
The brain of the Inner Demon Ancestor conveyed a trace of desire.
He thought of many ways to absorb his own power.
The mountain road on Fox Mountain is very rugged and winding, extending all the way to the top of the mountain above the clouds with no end in sight. The steps are very clean, with long blue ashlar bricks, and the road is clean and tidy, with not even a fallen leaf.
This trip to the demon clan greatly exceeded Chen Luo's expectations.
First there was Jinsheng Inn, and then there were the remains of the ancestors of the inner demons. He wanted to know what else was on the mountain, and whether the ancestors of the fox clan he wanted to worship had been taken away.
time flies.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the surrounding restrictions and formations became more and more complex. Except for the mountain road, the other areas of Fox Mountain were all places of death. Chen Luo and his party at the inn had improved their formation level a lot. Several outstanding The formation master's brain has grown.
From the changes in the surroundings, four types of formations are roughly analyzed: illusion, absolute, killing, and trapping. Each of them is at the third level and up. The one that controls these formations is a more advanced formation. Starting from the third level, formations no longer exist alone. The most commonly used formations by third-level formation mages are combined formations and superimposed formations. The large formation on Fox Mountain is the most typical example.
The scene on both sides of the road became increasingly blurry, and the swaying trees turned into fiery red hair. If you looked closely, you could see some poisonous insects shuttled among them.
The higher you go, the stronger the mountain wind becomes.
The sky also turned orange-red, and when he was approaching the Fox Mountain platform, Chen Luo smelled a pungent smell of blood. The surrounding temperature also slowly dropped. The same freezing rain as at Jinsheng Inn appeared on the mountain. The steps under my feet became extremely smooth. If I looked carefully, I found that the bluestone steps had already been frozen for three feet.
Chen Luo stepped on the thick ice and stepped onto the platform of Fox Mountain step by step.
The empty platform in my memory was now littered with seven or eight corpses. There were all kinds of monsters, including tiger monsters, wolf monsters, snake monsters, dog monsters, and even Chen Luo, the scorpion spirit, saw two. The auras of these monster cultivator corpses are not weak, and they are basically second-level monsters.
Chen Luo walked to the nearest dog demon and took a closer look.
The body of the dog demon was covered with a layer of solid ice. The body was extremely cold and hard, and when struck on it, it made a crisp sound like a solid stone.
"He has been dead for at least ten days."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and pressed it on the dog demon's head, and a wisp of bad luck flowed into his palm.
‘Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, the damage is 70%, do you want to read it? ’
The damage is somewhat beyond imagination.
The brain of a corpse that has only been dead for ten days is 70% damaged. After that, Chen Luo collected the brains of several other corpses, and the result was that all the brains were damaged by 70% like the dog demon. This means that their souls were searched before they died.
“It doesn’t look like the work of the inn. Did someone use the ‘Inn of This Life’?”
Chen Luo observed carefully for a moment, summoned Xue Ning’s brain, and pointed it at the dog demon’s eyebrows.
“Soul, come back.”
The ghost cultivation method can work wonders at certain times. In the Tiannan region, the inheritance of ghost cultivation is very rare. Except for the ghost temple, almost no one in other places has heard of this inheritance, let alone how to deal with them. In the eyes of the cultivators in the Tiannan region, ghost cultivation is soul cultivation, and it is a madman who refines the soul flag.
But in fact, soul cultivation is human, and ghost cultivation is not human.
This wrong perception has led to the Ghost Temple being very strong in the Tiannan region. Except for the sword madman who dares to cut anything, they are not afraid of anything.
A breath came out from the corpse, and these breaths were erratic. They slowly stood up and formed a translucent shadow in front of Chen Luo. Unlike the residual soul of a normal foundation-building cultivator, this time the residual soul was very erratic, and the eyes were also dull.
"Even the soul was broken?"
Chen Luo found the problem. The incomplete body in front of him had been destroyed by someone using the soul cultivation method. He tried to ask a few questions, but the other party did not respond. This result disappointed Chen Luo a little. He stretched out his hand and tried to collect the residual soul. As a result, before his hand got close, the weak residual soul of the dog demon was like a candle blown by the wind. After shaking twice, it turned directly into dust.
After that, Chen Luo tried to summon all the residual corpses and ghosts around the platform again, and the result was the same. Although the people who destroyed this place did not understand the ghost cultivation method, they were very skilled in soul cultivation, and the remaining residual souls could not be condensed at all.
After putting the bodies into the storage bag, Chen Luo looked at the cave behind.
Behind this is the fox clan's cultivation place.
The last time Su Linlin brought him here, he had entered it. That time he met Granny Hu and Senior Gu in the cave.
When he came to the entrance of the gate, the heavy stone door suddenly collapsed.
Boom! !
After the dust, a corpse hung by a red rope swung out. The shriveled corpse was wearing a black dress, and the red rope was hanging around the neck of the corpse, and the body was shaking back and forth.
Chen Luo's pupils shrank slightly.
He recognized the corpse. This person was the fox clan's Jindan 'Granny Hu' who invited him here. A Jindan cultivator, the clan's stabilizing force, died just like that, and the body was still hanging behind the gate. If the stone gate had not collapsed, Chen Luo would probably have to enter the door to see it.
The corpse swayed in the wind. Granny Hu opened her blood-red eyes, her face was full of resentment, and dried black blood remained at the corners of her mouth, as if she was saying something.
This corpse has been dead for at least three months, or even longer.
The life span of a Jindan cultivator is long, not to mention Granny Hu, who is a demon. Even if such a powerful being dies, her corpse will not change in a short time. The corpse in front of him has a dry breath, and there is no demonic energy on her body. Only a strong resentment remains. It is hard to say whether her internal organs are still there. Maybe they have been eaten into an empty shell.
But
‘If Granny Hu has died long ago, who sent the letter for help? ’
Not only Chen Luo, but Gu Changkong and Sikong Bo all came to Fox Mountain after receiving the letter for help. It is clear that someone is using the fox tribe as bait and fishing non-stop.
Chen Luo did not touch the corpse. He stood at the entrance of the cave, and a creepy feeling rose in his heart.
The entrance of the fox tribe cave, which he had entered once, now looked like the mouth of a big demon. Granny Hu's body was the bait that the other party hung on the fishhook. After learning the method of this life in the 'inn', this feeling became stronger than ever before.
"Someone is inside."
Chen Luo took two steps back. This time he didn't even plan to collect his brain. The fox clan's ancestral land could be worshipped at any time. There was no need to get stuck at this time. I believe the fox clan's ancestors could understand.
'The breath of the void.'
'The remains are inside.'
The mummy brain and the heart demon ancestor's brain had the same thought at the same time.
"The void?"
Chen Luo remembered his experience when he was crossing the tribulation before. That time he sensed this breath in the tribulation cloud. The second bone pattern 'thunder' on his body was grabbed by the mummy brain through the crack of the void in the tribulation. Now that they met again, the mummy brain did not remind himself that there was 'opportunity', but kept sending him dangerous information.
"Someone from the void is coming?"
Chen Luo stood in the situation he knew and guessed the situation in front of him.
Huh.
A gust of wind rolled out of the cave. The cold wind was icy and piercing, mixed with a lot of cold air. Chen Luo immediately used the energy of the heaven and earth to protect himself, but even so, a thick layer of frost condensed on the outside of his body.
The platform ground and the step area near the top of the mountain, under the erosion of the cold air, have added another layer of ice. The surrounding fiery red plants are also frozen, the trees are no longer shaking, and the color has changed from fiery red to dark blue, and the cold air is overflowing.
