Chapter 1310 The Monster Devours the Soul
"Before I died, I perished together with that bastard. These 100 Worry-Free Coins should be the reward for killing him." Sun Erlang was by no means stupid. After a brief recollection, he guessed the origin of the Worry-Free Coins on him.
"Speaking of which, what exactly did we just experience?" Wang Xuanba shuddered and subconsciously touched his chest. It was as if the wound that was pierced was still there.
"Is it a dream? But the feeling before death was too real." Wang Xuanba murmured.
Sun Erlang stared at the lines of small words in front of him, trying to find more useful information.
But unfortunately, apart from these words themselves, there is no other explanation.
"It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves to explore." Sun Erlang's face was not very good.
At this time, Yue Zhenwei suggested: "Why don't we go to the border where we encounter the dog-headed monster and see what's going on."
"The strength of those two monsters is actually about the same as ours. As long as we are careful and alert and don't get ambushed, we should be fine."
"Okay! I want to avenge them too! It was so frustrating to die just now!" Wang Xuanba's eyes flashed with ferocity.
The three of them headed towards the border of Qiuxi State again.
On the way, Sun Erlang found that the cultivators they met along the way seemed to be more than before. And they were no longer listless, but gathered in groups of three or five, as if discussing something.
Wanting to eavesdrop, Sun Erlang and the other two found that these people did not communicate with each other by sound or consciousness, but a communication method that they could not observe.
"Maybe we can ask them." Wang Xuanba looked at the five cultivators who seemed to be only in the middle stage of foundation building who gathered not far away, and his eyes flashed.
Yue Zhenwei stopped him: "Xuanba, don't be impulsive! If it goes as expected, these people should be able to [resurrect] like us. If you want to ask something from people who are not afraid of death, brute force is useless..."
"Let's go to the target location first!" Sun Erlang also said in a low voice.
Wang Xuanba nodded and looked away.
In this life, Sun and Wang learned a lot of skills in the preaching platform at a young age. They were young and frivolous, and the formations they encountered along the way after leaving Daxuan were all broken with a snap of a finger. Therefore, they were even more arrogant. It was because they were ambushed by the monsters before that they restrained themselves a little.
When they came to the place where they "fell" before, the scene they saw surprised the three people: "Why is the world on the other side different from the last time?"
The huge stone scene on the seashore of Shilinzhou disappeared, replaced by a murderous sword forest. Millions of decayed swords pierced into the earth, swaying with the breeze.
Buzz...
Perhaps because they were too close, at the moment when the swords in the sword forest trembled together, Sun Erlang seemed to hear a sound of swords in his ears.
Sun Erlang's heart trembled, and he instinctively tilted his head to avoid it.
An invisible sword energy flew past his cheek and cut off a piece of skin. Ignoring the pain on his face, Sun Erlang fled back. He stopped only when the sense of crisis faded. There is no doubt that if he had not dodged in time just now, it would not be just a little flesh and blood that was cut off.
"This world seems to be more dangerous than the three we met last time?" Yue Zhenwei frowned and guessed.
Next, the three of them roughly investigated all the worlds bordering Qiuxizhou.
Sword forest, deep valley. There is also a place that seems to be the location of a certain demon sect. There are no less than a thousand vicious monks gathered in it.
From a distance, you can see that these demon monks feed on people, torture people for fun, and refine weapons with human bones.
The purgatory-like scene made Wang Xuanba's blood boil, and he wanted to rush over on the spot and wipe out the Demon Sect.
However, Wang Xuanba was just impulsive, not stupid. In the end, he did not act rashly, but just spit fiercely at the opposite side.
The three gathered again to discuss: "Should we first ask the local monks here to find out some common sense questions, or go to other worlds?"
"The monks of Wuyou Le Tu obviously know some rules that we don't know. If we ask rashly, I'm afraid we will reveal our identities as soon as we open our mouths."
"Maybe your life will be safe, but you may be left here forever."
"Try soul search? The Saint Master talked about this. Although it has not been officially used on monks, I think it can be tried." Wang Xuanba was eager to try.
"Don't forget, we are probably in a dream now. The soul search technique may not be useful."
After a period of silence, the three decided to give it a try first.
"Find a lone, weak cultivator."
"Knock him out first."
The three searched Qiuxizhou for most of the day before they finally found a suitable target.
This person seemed to be only at the initial stage of foundation building, and seemed to be out of touch with his teammates for some reason, and was anxiously looking for him.
"Go!"
With a loud shout, the three people's killing moves instantly fell on the foundation building cultivator.
The black whirlwind, the gray giant axe, and Yue Zhenwei's purple sword.
However, what surprised the three people was that their combined attack, which was enough to severely injure the Yuanying cultivator, did not cause any damage to the foundation building cultivator in front of them!
The light and shadow of the foundation building cultivator flashed, and all the attacks were in vain.
He looked at Sun Erlang and the other two with unbelievable eyes, and couldn't help but take a step back.
At the same time, Sun Erlang found that the few lines of small words that had been appearing in front of him jumped.
There was no other change.
It's just that the number of Worry-Free Coins has become zero.
Sun Erlang's face twitched.
Wang Xuanba also cried out in a voice transmission: "How can the Happy Land Coins be negative? 100 was deducted!"
Yue Zhenwei's face was also very gloomy: "Me too."
During the moment they were communicating, a white light suddenly emerged from the attacked foundation-building cultivator. The white light engulfed him, and finally looked at Sun Erlang and the others with an idiotic look, and then the foundation-building cultivator disappeared on the spot.
"..." The three Daxuan people looked at each other in silence.
"It seems that this should also be some kind of natural restriction in the Happy Land. We are the same kind as these cultivators. And the monsters we encountered before, including those in the border world, may be another kind. Cultivators cannot attack each other, and they may even punish each other. Killing monsters in the border world will have rewards including Worry-Free Coins..." After a brief frustration, Sun Erlang quickly cheered up again. Based on the experiences of several people, he recalled and summarized.
"It is uncertain what the consequences will be after too much Worry-Free Coins are deducted. But we'd better not try. Let's go to the border world first and earn back the negative Worry-Free Coins."
At this point, the three had given up the idea of searching souls.
Why search souls if you can't even hit them!
After holding back a lot of anger, they discussed and finally chose the Demon Sect world that seemed to be the most dangerous among the three border worlds based on their own intuition.
"Although that ghost place seems to have many enemies, how high can the cultivation level of those who use ordinary human corpses to refine magic tools be?"
"The magic is also crude. It's okay to scare ordinary people, but it's fancy and can't stop my axe." Wang Xuanba vowed.
"But we still have to be careful. After all, we have all died once. I have a hunch that the number of deaths may be more important than Worry-Free Coins." Yue Zhenwei looked at the constantly jumping characters in front of him and said in a deep voice.
After the three of them made a plan, they rushed into the Demon Sect world back to back.
In the Demon Sect world, thousands of demons were stunned by the trio that descended from the sky. After a moment of silence, they shouted in a language that Sun Erlang could not understand and surrounded him.
The blood was surging, and there were countless resentful souls. It looked very scary.
"Die for me!"
Unexpectedly, a gray giant axe easily tore apart all the bloody resentful souls released by hundreds of Demon Sect monks.
The giant axe was still powerful, sweeping left and right. Every time it was swung, it could take the lives of dozens of Demon Sect monks.
Wang Xuanba was so excited that his eyes were red with killing.
"Erlang, these beasts are weaker than imagined!"
Sun Erlang, who was also harvesting Demon Sect monks at the same speed, did not agree. Instead, a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Just like facing the dog-headed monster that had been beheaded before!
Sun Erlang immediately looked around, destroying the enemies while searching for the real target.
"Look there!" Yue Zhenwei reminded Sun Erlang to observe a huge statue standing in the Demon Sect.
This statue did not appear when he was observing it outside the world before.
Even when Sun Erlang descended into this world, it was still hidden.
It was not until the battle became increasingly fierce that it appeared without the three people noticing.
The statue seemed to be stitched together from countless human corpses, emitting a foul aura.
The face of the statue had no specific features.
It was just a pair of pale arms stretched out, waving constantly.
Every time Sun Erlang and his men killed a Demon Sect monk, another pair of arms would stretch out from the face of the statue.
It was as if these dead Demon Sect monks were actually swallowed by the huge statue.
Sun Erlang's slaughtering action paused slightly.
But the crazy Demon Sect monks had no intention of letting them go. They were not afraid of the death of their companions, and even stuffed the scattered corpses and remains into their mouths, and then launched a more crazy attack while howling.
"What to do? Kill or not?"
It is obvious that killing the demon sect monks will generate some kind of energy for the giant statue. Looking at the countless pale arms that are growing like bamboo shoots after rain. Sun Erlang can't help but tremble in his heart.
But he still responded decisively: "Kill!"
The purple air whistled, and the long dragon bowed its head. Thousands of demon sect monks were killed in one blow, and the encirclement like a tide was suddenly emptied.
But soon, the fearless demon sect monks filled the gap again.
The only thing to be thankful for is that these demon sect monks are not endless. As the three people of Daxuan fought hard, these monks who came all over the sky and looked like humans and inhumans finally began to slowly decrease in the field of vision.
I don't know how long it has been, the disgusting smell of blood in the air has almost condensed into substance. Even if Sun Erlang and others blocked their sense of smell, they still couldn't stop the smell of blood from entering their souls.
The huge demon sect is all the debris that exploded after the monks died. Blood flowed like a river, as if being swallowed up by the Demon Sect in the blink of an eye.
Sun Erlang was panting, his hands trembling slightly.
This group of Demon Sect monks were indeed pitifully weak, and they were no match for the Daxuan trio. But they were too numerous. Even if they were to be killed, Sun Erlang would be too weak to do it.
"If I were in the Nascent Soul Realm, how could I be so embarrassed?"
"With the cave as a spiritual power supplement, I am not afraid of this human wave tactic at all."
Sun Erlang couldn't help thinking so in his heart.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and frowned slightly: "Just the right difficulty?"
At this moment, in the Demon Sect, apart from the Daxuan trio, only the huge statue stood.
It was not that Sun Erlang and the others did not want to eliminate the hidden danger in advance, but there was really an invisible barrier blocking them.
Unable to attack in advance, they had to wait for the huge statue to complete its final transformation.
Boom boom boom...
The entire Demon Sect station began to shake violently.
The huge statue, which had been in a motionless position, came alive in an instant.
He lowered his head and stared at the Daxuan trio below.
A pair of arms fell from the face of the statue.
Then the second pair, the third pair...
Swish swish swish.
More and more arms fell, like a heavy rain.
Sun Erlang and the other two blocked these arms that fell from the sky, and looked at the statue that gradually revealed its true face with a solemn expression.
It was the face of a pig.
The pig head had a compassionate expression and sad eyes. Looking at Sun Erlang below, he felt very sorry.
As if they had committed some unforgivable sin!
Stared at by the giant pig head statue, Wang Xuanba suddenly felt a nameless anger in his heart.
After realizing that the invisible barrier that had been blocking him disappeared, he rushed up first.
"Today, Grandpa will use your pig head as a snack!" Wang Xuanba shouted, and the gray giant axe had become the same size as the statue.
Aiming at the front of the pig head, he chopped it down fiercely.
The pig head statue did not dodge, and there was always compassion in its eyes. However, it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth.
It bit the giant axe directly.
Then chewed it.
Bang! The gray giant axe exploded into countless pieces in an instant, and even the gray gas was chewed and swallowed by the pig head statue.
Wang Xuanba suddenly spit out blood, but a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.
"Explode!"
The thousands of gray gas in the mouth of the pig head statue suddenly danced like a group of dragons. The pig head's cheeks bulged slightly, as if they would burst.
But what surprised Wang Xuanba was that the pig-headed statue took a deep breath and actually swallowed all the gray gas into its stomach.
You know, this gray giant axe is not an ordinary magic weapon, but Wang Xuanba's own foundation-building artifact: [Mottled Time Axe]. It was the reward given by the Saint Master in person, who was in the top three of the Discussion Platform.
Wang Xuanba achieved the method of golden elixir by understanding the laws contained in this artifact.
The gray gas of the stone axe contains the principle of the flow of time. It hurts people with the power of the passing of time.
However, after the pig-headed statue swallowed all the infinite gray gas in the giant axe, there was no side effect. In fact, the statue's body became more condensed.
The foundation-building artifact was swallowed, and Wang Xuanba's breath fell visibly.
Wang Xuanba was seriously injured, but he was hanging on to his breath and had no strength to fight again.
The accident happened in the blink of an eye.
Before Sun Erlang and Yue Zhenwei had time to help, Wang Xuanba had become precarious.
While the pig-headed statue was absorbing the gray gas, Sun Erlang transmitted his voice: "There must be something wrong!"
"These worlds in the Worry-free Land of Joy should be some kind of test. With the strength shown by this pig-headed statue now, even a Yuanying cultivator cannot compete with it. For us in the Jindan stage, it is simply a dead end. There is no possibility of passing, and it is no longer a test..."
"So there must be some details in this Demon Sect's residence that we have overlooked." Yue Zhenwei also woke up and looked around again.
After swallowing the gray gas of the Time Axe, the aura of the pig-headed statue also became fluctuating. It seemed to be comprehending something and would break through and become stronger at any time.
"Damn, we don't have much time left."
The Demon Sect's residence has been carefully searched more than once. There is nothing else hidden except the corpses of the Demon Sect cultivators all over the ground.
"Where is the key to breaking through?"
At the critical moment, Sun Erlang felt that he had become calmer instead.
From the scene he saw before entering the Demon Sect to everything he experienced in the battle.
Countless scenes slowed down and flashed by one after another.
"The Saint Master said that when things are bad, change will happen."
"For the Demon Sect, we outsiders are variables. But we, the variables, can only kill all the monks. We are not strong enough for this huge statue. So..."
Sun Erlang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "We must find more variables!"
"This variable cannot be on outsiders like us. Instead, it is..."
Sun Erlang suddenly had a sudden enlightenment in his heart, and he quickly sent a message to Yue Zhenwei: "Go around the pig head statue! Attack the sky!"
The black whirlwind rushed into the sky. Sun Erlang's figure merged with it and soared straight up.
This black evil wind is naturally Sun Erlang's foundation-building artifact [Extinction and Destruction of Evil Wind]. At the same time, it was taught by the Saint Master himself!
The pig head, which was absorbing and evolving, sensed Sun Erlang's actions. In the compassionate eyes that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, a look of anger and fear suddenly emerged.
It made the first roar since the war began.
Just as he was about to stop Sun Erlang, a purple sword flew towards him.
The purple air was crisscrossed, like the rising sun.
It was the Saint Master's personal teaching, Yue Zhenwei's foundation-building artifact [Hao Ming Zi Xiao Sword]!
In the purple air, there was a faint sound of dragon roar.
The pig-headed statue was frightened by the vast purple air, and its movements could not help but pause for a moment.
It was with this slight pause that Sun Erlang's incarnation of the black wind had already broken through its defense.
It slammed fiercely on the sky.
Cracks appeared in the sky.
The sun that had been hanging high in the sky also had cracks.
The false sky suddenly shattered.
As countless fragments rained down, the truth behind them was also revealed.
It's just a huge dark cave.
The collapse of the false sky caused the pig-headed statue to roar almost madly.
However, it no longer had any intention of dealing with Yue Zhenwei and Sun Erlang.
It seemed that something extremely terrifying was about to happen. A beam of light flew out from the pig head statue and was about to escape.
"Evil beast!"
A sound like thunder suddenly came from outside the sky.
Then a purple thunderbolt appeared in the sky, hitting the escaping brilliance!
With a scream, the creatures inside were wiped out.
Sun Erlang could faintly see that it was a pig demon that seemed to have just been born.
The purple thunder came without any warning and easily killed the pig demon, never to appear again.
Except for the Daxuan trio, there are no other living creatures in the Demonic Sect here.
Sun Erlang only felt mentally exhausted.
Wang Xuanba and Yue Zhenwei were overjoyed and felt a little strange at the same time: "Is it that easy to win?"
"There is no need to fight to the death with that terrifying pig-headed statue. As long as the false sky above the head is broken, the pig monster will be killed by the thunder from the sky?"
"What is this! Didn't I work hard in vain?!" Wang Xuanba coughed lightly and complained.
The surrounding scenes suddenly stopped as he complained.
Then it was like thousands of pieces of glass exploding at the same time.
Countless images of the same world flew into the minds of the three of them. The brain was hit by the rapid fragments, and after a moment of dizziness...
The three of them returned to their original starting point.
Wulaohui, Qingxi Prefecture.
"Huh? Am I feeling better again?" During the battle with the Demon Sect, Wang Xuanba, whose cultivation fell to the Qi Refining stage and was already dying, had returned to his normal golden elixir cultivation.
Not only that, there wasn't even a trace of injury on his body. It was as if the life-and-death battle just now was simply a fantasy for them.
But obviously, what they experienced was by no means as simple as an ordinary dream.
"The sky has returned to its normal bright color." Yue Zhenwei said as he looked around.
"The worry-free coins are finally no longer negative. Two hundred is now!" Wang Xuanba said happily after checking it.
Although it is not yet known what the use of this worry-free coin is.
Sun Erlang stared at the few lines of small words in front of him.
"Sun Erlang, the golden elixir is perfect, the number of deaths: 1."
"Paradise Experience Level: 1."
"Worry-free coins: 500."
Behind the Paradise experience level, a small progress bar appears.
Almost 30% of the length is dyed pink.
In addition to these changes in data, there are other things in Sun Erlang's mind.
"Man is the head of all spirits."
"The human brain can increase wisdom by taking it."
"Human liver, taking it can improve eyesight."
"Human kidney..."
One voice after another kept emerging in Sun Erlang's mind.
There is no sinister and evil atmosphere, just pure argument and explanation.
However, when in the memory, the tastes and feelings that devoured various corresponding organs came to his mind at the same time, the extremely real feeling, just like trying it in person, made Sun Erlang finally unable to bear it.
Vomited on the spot.
Seeing Sun Erlang suddenly vomiting violently, Wang Xuanba and Yue Zhenwei were a little confused.
Until Sun Erlang got up with difficulty and told what happened to him.
Their faces also became a little pale.
"This... Erlang, by the way, you won't be addicted to eating human flesh in the future, right?" Wang Xuanba's head shrank.
"This [Soul-Eating Technique] should be the technique practiced by the pig demon? After passing the test of the border world, is it possible to bring the items that appear in it back to reality?" Yue Zhenwei seemed to have some realization.
"Erlang, try to operate this [Spirit-Eating Technique]." He suggested.
Wang Xuanba was startled, while Sun Erlang calmed down slightly and nodded slightly.
Holding back the nausea, I closed my eyes and felt it.
After a moment, he looked at Yue Zhenwei: "I didn't sense anyone else practicing this method."
Yue Zhenwei touched his chin: "The Worry-free Paradise has existed for so many years, but no one has practiced this spirit-eating method..."
Wang Xuanba looked serious: "I understand, there is something wrong with this technique."
Sun Erlang shook his head slightly: "That's not the point. Although the spirit-eating method is the method used by the pig demon to devour humans, the objects it can devour are not just humans. It can also be any other living things."
"So, although it is not as good as the Holy Master's personal teaching, this Soul-Eating Technique is definitely an amazing skill. There is no problem if you practice it all the way to the Nascent Soul realm. Even after the Nascent Soul, you can continue to practice, and through constant practice Devour spiritual things and strengthen yourself.”
Wang Xuanba also understood at this time: "Such a skill appears again in a world that newcomers like us will experience. But there is no sign of anyone else practicing it..."
"There are two possibilities. First, the dream of the worry-free paradise here is not bound by the law that the law cannot be practiced together."
"Second, dreams are ever-changing. Different new dreams are being generated all the time. What we encounter happens to be a dream world that was just born."
