Chapter 0827 Demonic Tree Trap
A small tree over one foot high was removed entirely, revealing a monster buried in the tree pit: a naked beast monster, with its navel connected to the roots of the tree. He was not dead yet, but he was not alive either. His skin was withered and pale. , like the bark of a birch tree in late autumn, turning up piece by piece, it seems that it can be blown away by a gust of wind.
He was panting slightly, his lips were open, his two fangs appeared larger, and his dull eyes were staring straight at the sun in the sky.
The young Talisman Master felt a sense of nausea and resisted vomiting. He must not show any timidity in front of several old Talisman Masters. He bravely looked at the beast monster, keeping his eyes on the most normal horns of the beast as much as possible.
"Let's give him a break." A Talisman Master said.
"Wait a minute." Another Talisman Master didn't want it to end like this, and said to the nervous young Talisman Master, "Tell me your opinion."
"What?" The young Talisman Master was a little confused. There were five Five Talisman Masters in total. The other four were all in their forties or fifties. He was the only one who was less than twenty years old and looked very immature.
This is the new rule of Longbinhui in recent years. It is hoped that more qualified talisman masters can be cultivated as soon as possible in this way.
The old talisman master said coldly: "I ask you how to identify a demon tree. Raising trees with demons is originally a demon magic. It was learned by the demon clan of the country of sacrifice and used to build large demon arrays. The imperial capital was destroyed in this array. Everyone thought it was King Saishen who destroyed the city by himself, but it was actually the result of hundreds of magicians spending months secretly setting up formations. Now that the demon tree has arrived near Fuhai City, they have learned to identify and remove it. It’s a life-or-death skill that you must learn quickly.”
When the old Talisman Master said something, the young Talisman Master nodded, but he needed some time to organize his thoughts. Another old Talisman Master helped him and interjected: "Thanks to the Great Talisman Master Youbi, if it weren't for him , We still don’t know how the imperial capital was destroyed, and we thought it was because of the sacrifice of a demon, so there is really no way to fight this war. "
"Yeah, I was really desperate a few days ago. Eagle Eye Flying Talisman only saw the King of Sacrifice performing magic, and opposite was the burning imperial capital. That kind of scene... Oh, it really makes people doubt that even if the Taoism is still there, it may not be the same. He is the opponent of the King of Sacrifice.”
Although the demon formation is very powerful, it can be guarded against, destroyed, and resisted. After discovering the truth, the confidence of the Longbinhui talisman masters was restored.
The four old Talisman Masters praised the achievements of the Great Talisman Master Youbi for a while, and then looked at the young Talisman Master together. This was not the time to be polite, and they had to be stricter with the newcomers.
The young talisman master himself also understood this truth. He pointed to the small tree not far away and said seriously: "The demon tree is a magic spell of the demon clan, but it does not have the spirit of demons, so ordinary demon-fixing talismans and demon-seeking talismans cannot be used. The biggest loophole is that the demon corpse is buried deep in the ground. You need to continuously cast the earthquake talisman. When the demon corpse moves underground, the demon energy will rise. At this time, you can use the demon fixing talisman to find the general direction. The next step is to observe the demon with the naked eye. The various trees in the forest look no different from the surrounding trees, but if you look closely, the green leaves are unusual and too bright. "
The young talisman master looked at it for a while and said uncertainly: "That's it."
The three old Talisman Masters were relatively satisfied. Only one old Talisman Master said with a cold face, "Absolutely right, but you didn't notice the soil here. The soil within one foot around the demon tree is always moist, but it doesn't look like it." Just watered..."
"It seems to have been soaked in oil." The young Talisman Master said.
The old Talisman Master snorted, expressing dissatisfaction with the sudden interruption, and then said: "It is easier to destroy the demon tree. Use the Five Elements Talisman to destroy the Niwan Palace of the demon clan, and the demon will naturally die and the tree will wither."
The five talisman masters sacrificed the talisman at the same time, each performing their duties, emitting five beams of light of different colors: green, yellow, red, white, and black. The five lights converged together and hit the monster's forehead. The beast's breathing became weaker and weaker, its skin color quickly dimmed, and there was not much blood left in its body. Large chunks of skin and flesh fell off, and soon only a skeleton remained.
At the same time, the demon tree seemed to have been hit by frost and snow, its leaves quickly withered, its branches flew away, and the entire tree disappeared, leaving only a section of roots.
"Let's go. I don't know how many demonic trees there are around here." An old Talisman Master ordered, and five people successively offered talismans and flew up. The young Talisman Master did not need to participate in looking for the tree. He followed the last and stood back to observe silently, and at the same time, he had to be on guard. Based on the surrounding situation, it is possible that the living demon who planted the tree is still in this area.
But when the magic attack came, he didn't notice it at all. An old talisman master in the middle noticed something unusual and shouted "be careful".
A very light-colored gray snake quietly rose from the ground. As soon as it heard the call of the Talisman Master, its speed suddenly accelerated and it suddenly got into the body of the leading old Talisman Master.
"Retreat!" These were the last words of the old talisman master, and then he launched a series of talismans.
The young Talisman Master was a little panicked and did not turn around immediately. He was dragged away by an old Talisman Master. After more than ten steps, the cry of the old Talisman Master was heard from behind. The young Talisman Master couldn't help but look back: Old Talisman Master The division exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere.
More gray snakes rose from the ground, as many as ten, rushing towards different targets.
The three old Talisman Masters looked at each other and made the same decision. While sacrificing the Talisman and preparing to receive the attack, they ordered the young Talisman Master: "Go back to the city immediately and send out the talisman on the way."
"I can stay..."
"What's the point of keeping you?" an old Talisman master shouted angrily.
The young talisman master flew away, not daring to look back, and hurriedly pulled out a letter talisman. It flew faster and could send a warning to the city.
They had been warned long before they went out of the city for patrol. Ordinary sorcerers were nothing to be afraid of. The scariest ones were those who could cast snake-shaped and dragon-shaped spells. If they met one, they should try to avoid it and remind the Dragon Guest Association in the city in time.
The five of them were a little too aggressive. Now that they thought about it, the demon tree was more like a bait to lure them into a trap.
A ball of fire suddenly appeared in front of them. It was the signal talisman that had been sent out before that was destroyed. The young talisman master was startled. When he was about to sacrifice the talisman again, something seemed to catch up with him from behind.
He made up his mind and made a quick decision. He did not turn around to resist, but sacrificed five signal talismans in succession. He could only do this. He was not even the opponent of the sorcerer who could not defeat the four old talisman masters. However, he had to pass the message back anyway, so as not to die in vain.
With a bang, he felt that he was hit by a heavy hammer, and his body flew forward faster involuntarily, but there was no gray snake in his body, and he did not die.
He turned around and saw a pure black shield blocking behind him. Three gray snakes collided with it and turned into three wisps of green smoke.
A half-demon stopped in the air a hundred steps away, looking a little surprised, "Aren't all talisman masters incompetent?"
As soon as the voice fell, the black shield flew towards the half-demon, and the half-demon immediately cast ten gray snakes to resist, but the black shield was a feint. When it was about to collide with the gray snakes, it split into five lights of different colors, passed through the middle of the gray snakes, and continued to fly towards the target.
It was too late for the half-demon to intercept it. He screamed and fell to the ground, but the ten gray snakes did not stop and continued to fly towards the young talisman master.
The young talisman master knew that this was unavoidable, and the gray snakes would chase him closely. The only way to deal with it was to offer talismans.
He prepared his hands and held three paper talismans with his fingers.
Puff puff puff... a series of sounds, and all ten gray snakes turned into smoke and dissipated.
The young talisman master was stunned. A voice beside him said, "Once the caster dies, the spell will be destroyed, unless there is a magic weapon or a demon weapon to help."
The young talisman master was surprised and happy, and was about to kneel in the air, "Youbi... the great talisman master!"
Xin Youtao wore a towering talisman crown and a narrow-sleeved casual dress. Although he looked very young, he showed a bit of majesty.
There were thirteen great talisman masters in the Longbin Society, and Youbi ranked third. Xin Youtao was promoted to this position at a young age. At first, everyone attributed it to him being the queen's younger brother. However, after several wars, the talisman masters unanimously recognized that Youbi's talisman skills were indeed far superior to his peers, and his former identity as a Taoist priest of Pangshan became more widely known.
"I came a step late." Xin Youtao said calmly. He had seen too many deaths. He did not become numb, but rarely showed his emotions.
Sometimes he himself felt strange. He could not reach the heart of a Taoist priest after years of practice, but he was closer to it in the war.
"How could the Great Talisman Master Youbi know..."
"I happened to be nearby, and I rushed here as soon as I found the magic of the Sheshen Kingdom."
"It's all my fault. I didn't find the magic sneak attack in time." The young talisman master was heartbroken.
"You can't be blamed for this. The Sheshen Kingdom has invented many new magics, which can't be detected by talismans. It must be the five elements magic." Xin Youtao had many doubts in his heart, which were difficult for an ordinary talisman master to understand and couldn't answer. "What's your name?"
"Liu Jianyi, Jian for picking things, Yi for intention." The young talisman master blushed a little. This was his first time talking to the Great Talisman Master Youbi. He felt very nervous and felt that his name was a bit strange.
"Since we've met, come with me."
"Four talisman masters died here, and their bodies..."
"There are at least 500,000 bodies in the imperial capital that no one has collected. Do you still care about these four?"
Liu Jianyi's face turned redder and he shook his head. This is a war. He told himself that he must take life and death less seriously.
Xin Youtao changed his mind, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour."
Liu Jianyi immediately flew back and smashed a big wall with his talisman to collect as many body parts as possible. It was impossible to tell who was who, so they could only be buried together.
It took less than a quarter of an hour.
Xin Youtao took the lead and flew eastward. Liu Jianyi followed behind, feeling strange in his heart. Why would the great talisman master Youbi go out alone and come to such a far place?
Xin Youtao stopped at the seaside, landed on the ground, looked at the endless waves, and said after a while: "The demon tribe of Sheshen Country set up an ambush here. It seems that they have known the arrival of the army. There must be a battle here."
"Army? Is it the new reinforcements?" Liu Jianyi was overjoyed.
"I don't know if they are friends or enemies, but they are here."
Liu Jianyi was stunned. Where did the "army" come from except for the waves in front?
Suddenly, a strange horn sounded from the sea. Although he did not have much experience in war, Liu Jianyi knew clearly that the horn sound must come from the demon tribe.
