Chapter 0599 The Curse of Fear

The demon formation that imitated the arrangement of the stars was like a giant fishing net, thrown out from the high mountains in the northeast of the demon land, withstanding the biting cold wind, bypassing the peaks as severe as the ancient tomb of the king, and rushing into a flat snowfield. Here, the net caster saw the opportunity and suddenly exerted force, and the fishing net began to spread out, rushing all the way to the south, all the way to the southeast, and then gradually closed in.

The big fish that was surrounded unknowingly was the Ice City and the Wolf Plain.

The route was full of corpses of the demon clan, and the total number was probably three or four thousand. They were driven to the designated location by a powerful force. Some of them resisted fiercely, and some just stood by, and the final result was the same - they were wrapped in a thick transparent ice shell, using their demon pills, flesh, bones, horns, teeth, etc. to nourish an extremely huge demon formation.

The closer to the Ice City, the more powerful the demon formation was. Mu Xingqiu and others finally had to avoid the demon corpses and move forward. Only the fleas had to go in, just to swallow a tiny nebula tree seed.

The strange thing is that these demon corpses are not guarded, and no matter how fast Mu Xingqiu and his team advance, they have never caught up with the slaughter. Those demons were not all killed recently. Some were killed very early, but they were wrapped in ice and did not rot at all.

This demon formation was not formed all at once. It laid a point in the east today and drew a line in the west tomorrow, like playing a game of Go. The initial layout seemed to be chaotic, but when it finally showed its hideous face, the opponent had only one way to die.

If it were not for the flea leading them, Mu Xingqiu and others would only accidentally discover the gathering places of demon corpses, and could not see the arrangement pattern at all.

For this layout, Bingkui may have spent several years.

Mu Xingqiu found himself involved again. This time, the mastermind behind the scenes was not Zuo Liuying, but Yi Shijun. He controlled the flea's behavior and brought Mu Xingqiu back to Bingcheng step by step.

In the end, Mu Xingqiu quickened his pace. He had no intention of participating in the battle that was about to begin, but he had to remind his former friends that some things could not be relayed by Jinchu, and he had to tell Zuo Liuying directly.

As for Yi Shijun's purpose, Mu Xingqiu became more and more confused, but he told himself to stay calm and not give Yi Shijun an opportunity.

After more than 20 days, Mu Xingqiu returned to the place where he was resurrected and saw through everything. At this time, Bingkui's formation had not been fully arranged, and there was still a gap of more than 100 miles in the southeast.

The fire of the latent dragon had been extinguished, and the scorched land was covered with thick snow again. There was almost no sign of burning, but the bones of the latent dragon underground had been burned out, and the poisonous fog had no source and had disappeared. The Holy Son Lake had become a waterless depression, and only a small hill was left in Bingcheng.

Baiyue Mountain was still there, and the mountains surrounding the outer periphery of Bingcheng were also there, but they were short and plain, and could not even stop the gusts of cold wind, let alone the upcoming Bingkui.

But there are still a large number of demons gathered here, at least tens of thousands, like mushrooms suddenly popping up from the ground after a rain, clustered here and there, setting up camp wherever they find a place, digging holes according to the customs of the tribe, but being startled by the scorched earth under the snow.

Jinchu flew around and brought back unexpected news: Zuo Liuying, Yang Qingyin and others were not here at all. They left Bingcheng with the Taoist priests and the demons more than ten days ago, and no one knew where they went.

Zuo Liuying must have discovered something, Mu Xingqiu had to laugh bitterly at himself, he was still meddling in other people's business, with Zuo Liuying here, why did he need to remind him?

But in this way, Yi Shijun's action of asking Tiao Ye to bring them back was even more strange.

"They are here." Jinchu showed a rough noodle cake.

Mu Xingqiu untied Pangshan's Taoist bun and put on the demon's leather armor. He has been carrying these things since he disguised himself as a demon in Xijie Country.

The bald man liked his Pangshan-style bun very much, but in order to show his support for Xiaoqiu, he took off his hairpin and put on a double-horned dome helmet - in fact, no matter how he dressed up, he would not be suspected. In the eyes of the monsters, he was just an ordinary head monster.

Mu Xingqiu followed Jinchu forward. The flea completed the task and stopped running around. It accompanied him docilely. Its red and yellow eyes scared away the occasional curious people.

The monsters who migrated here were different from those Mu Xingqiu had encountered before. They all brought their families with them, but they didn't carry many items with them. It seemed like this was a relaxing short outing. There were hungry monsters crying everywhere, but there was no fighting, not a single one.

This is even stranger than the fact that many demon tribes do not carry enough food. As far as Mu Xingqiu knows, demon tribes will express their excitement, excitement, anger, boredom by fighting. When food is scarce, they have to distribute it by strength. However, although these nearly 10,000 demon tribes are distributed randomly, they strictly abide by the boundaries and rarely cross them. The tribe is also peaceful.

To be precise, this is not peace, but frustration and laziness. Those sturdy beast demons and strong half-demons all seem to have lost their souls. They sit by their temporary caves with their heads down. When they hear the children crying, they don't even raise their heads.

"I don't like this place." The bald man whispered, stopping on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder. Affected by the sad atmosphere that permeated the surroundings, his voice was weak.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Mu Xingqiu replied casually.

The bald man smiled, "It's okay, I'm small. If there are bad guys, I'll get into the snow and no one can find me."

This smile didn't last long, and the bald man became even more silent.

The sadness and negativity that pervades Bingcheng and Langyuan are all transformed from fear.

The camp of Shishen Guofu Luke was set up at the former site of the Taoist camp. It was called a camp, but it was just a circle of more than ten caves. Some simple restrictions were placed on the outside. Nothing could stop it. It could only issue a warning when it was attacked. .

Shen Shang was waiting for Mu Xingqiu in front of an underground cave, "We never meet again in life. I thought it was a long separation, but I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

"Why are you still staying here?" Mu Xingqiu got straight to the point, because he found that Shen Shang's complexion was not very good, and those demon clan talisman guests were all in despair, standing blankly in the middle of several caves, not going up at all. The enthusiasm of a meeting.

"It's all my fault." Shen Shang sighed, "We walked slowly and missed the team of Yang Qingyin and Zuo Liuying. We originally planned to rest for a few days before setting off. Who would have thought that the Fu Luke guests would fall ill one after another, so I wanted to kill them Let’s get cured first, but the result——”

Shen Shang glanced at the surrounding demon camps, "There were suddenly more demons coming from all directions. They all seemed to be here for a funeral. They didn't answer any questions and just found a place to stay. I thought I found someone here." I found the treasure, but no one dug deep, and it was all wasted, which is even worse than my collapse."

Shen Shang was trying his best to say something ridiculous, but it was like falling into the sea without causing any waves. Even Mu Xingqiu couldn't laugh.

"This is a huge trap." Mu Xingqiu said.

"I found something was wrong, but... they refused to leave and refused to listen no matter how much I tried to persuade them." Shen Shang turned to look at the more than 20 frustrated talisman guests. "They all have families and relatives. I will take them If you take them out, you have to take them back without leaving the ground.”

"Then knock them out and take them away." Mu Xingqiu said.

Shen Shang was taken aback, "What are you talking about? They are my friends, I can't treat them like this."

Mu Xingqiu briefly recounted what he saw and heard along the way, "Do you understand? You can still cast spells now. When the demon formation closes, you will become weaker than the demon clan, and then you will be even more powerful." Can't escape."

Shen Shang's expression changed, "Who is Bing Kui, and he can actually lay out such a powerful demon formation?"

Mu Xingqiu thought of some rumors he had heard before: "Bingkui is neither a monster nor a human. You can't fight them at all. Before you even meet them, your hands and feet are already weak with fear. As soon as you see their appearance, You will kneel down involuntarily..."

Shen Shang forced a smile and leaned over to touch his knees, "Fortunately, they are not weak. I...I'm going to check around."

"Go ahead and let the flea show you the way. It knows the nearest burial place."

The flea immediately jumped into the sky, where it could still fly. Shen Shang followed without saying a word and waved to Mu Xingqiu, no longer in the mood to talk.

Mu Xingqiu looked to the north and saw more demon camps. The decay floating in the sky could almost be seen with the naked eye.

"We will leave early tomorrow morning." Mu Xingqiu made a decision.

"What about the demon clan here?" Jin Cu asked in surprise.

Mu Xingqiu realized that he had made the same old habit again. He shouldn't make decisions for anyone, so he changed his words and said, "Tomorrow morning Bald Man and I will leave with the fleas."

The bald man nodded repeatedly and wanted to leave immediately. He was disgusted with the atmosphere here.

"So many demon clans will not gather here for no reason...waiting to die must be Bing Kui's conspiracy. They may be setting up a larger formation. Don't you care?"

"I only care about how far away I can be from it." Mu Xingqiu was tired of telling the reasons over and over again, so he said, "You don't have to care about what I think, just do what you want to do."

Jin Cu thought for a while, "I want to find out why these monsters are here, and if possible, persuade them to leave together. There is still time."

Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything, but he gave a negative answer in his heart. It was impossible for these monsters to leave. They were cursed. Mu Xingqiu had seen the power of the curse in Duanliu City a few years ago, but this time it was even more powerful. Stronger and deeper, it has already been formed, and there is no possibility of turning it around.

He speculated that the reason why he was not affected was probably related to the fact that he had practiced the illusion of mind, but his illusion had dropped to the third level and could only be used for self-protection.

Jin Cu left and went to question those monsters who didn't even want to raise their heads.

A talisman guest came over and handed Mu Xingqiu a piece of dough, showing a smile, like a ray of sunshine shining through the gap between dark clouds. Soon the sunshine disappeared, and the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

Most of the day passed and Jin Cu didn't show up again. Shen Shang and Flea came back in the evening.

Shen Shang's face was pale, he had obviously seen the demon corpse, but that was not the first thing he said. Instead, he spread his right hand and asked Mu Xingqiu to look at something, "When did Pangshan Iron Qilin switch to eating meat? He spit out an eyeball."
