Chapter 458: The Mine Outside the City, the Demonic Beast

"Let's go."

Du En glanced at the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. They were visibly full of evil intent, but he didn't give them any chance to make trouble.

"Yes, yes!"

The guards answered in a messy manner and seemed absent-minded, but they soon reacted, shuddered, and hurriedly responded with cold sweat.

The group quickly left the market and headed south of the city.

The old Taoist Chi Li looked at the backs that were quickly moving away, and his eyes and consciousness watched the Jiuyun disappear far away, and then he took them back. His original excitement dimmed in an instant, his eyes were twitching, and he didn't know what to think.

Glancing at the guys around who had not yet dispersed, he didn't care about those envious and jealous eyes that couldn't help but shed malicious eyes. He just waved his sleeves and left the place.

The Anshen Prism turned around and followed.

That's right, he left the team and stayed.

Because the clues given by the old Taoist Chi Li were too clear, and it was clear at a glance what the problem was, Du En and the others just exchanged glances and tacitly decided to leave An Shen behind to follow and spy here.

The two of them and the god are both capable of taking charge, so it is easier to get things done with more people!

After a while.

South of Jiuyun City, the barren mountains are dead.

A few hundred years ago, this place was still a good place with green mountains and clear waters, but when the various spiritual mines underground were discovered, the situation immediately changed.

Under the instruction of Master Jiuyun, with the City Lord's Mansion as the leader, various aristocratic families and small clans, and even the casual cultivators, all rushed over like hungry wolves to share a piece of the pie.

It only took a short period of time to mine out the spiritual mines that had existed here for tens of millions of years, and they were particularly exhausted, leaving no room at all, causing the habitat to be completely corrupted, forming the current dead mountain and barrenness, with many abandoned mines and pits, like a scene of scars that are difficult to heal.

Following the clues given by the old Taoist Chi Li, Du En acted vigorously and brought everyone here.

Listening to Sheng Zhaoshui's explanation of the basic situation he had inquired about, and comparing it with the information in the corners of Jiuyun's memory, he knew the relevant development of the situation here, but he had no time to lament about greed, because the most important thing now was to follow the clues.

As the suspicious clues emerged one by one, a sense of urgency began to arise!

What exactly is the Supreme's plan? This needs to be figured out urgently!

Otherwise, he might really just send nutrients from afar, and he would be swallowed and digested unknowingly, without even a slag left!

"Separately, go and explore all the abandoned mines and pits in this area."

Du En gave this order to the guards of the City Lord's Mansion without any hesitation.

"Yes!"

The head of the guards did not hesitate. After receiving the order, he immediately arranged the details. The guards formed small teams, spread out and flew, quickly took their positions, and began to explore the underground of the mountains.

"These guys are weak and have impure minds. They can only be used as vanguards. We can't expect too much. And the spiritual sense has been proven to be not comprehensive enough, so I want to refine a batch of puppets to expand the boundaries of vision and let them serve as the main force for investigation."

"I understand, I will protect the law."

Sheng Zhaoshui said that he understood, but couldn't help but care a little, "Although the way of puppets is closer to the way of refining weapons, I think you seem to have quite good attainments in this way. Why haven't I seen you use it before?"

Obviously, he had already minded when he saw Du En pinching puppets casually before.

And the before mentioned here, of course, is the only competition between the two.

In other words, Sheng Zhaoshui seemed to be a bit aggressive and resentful, thinking that he had not tried his best in the competition before and was just acting.

Du En glanced at him and said casually: "I learned it in other star realms."

"I see."

Sheng Zhaoshui nodded, touching the stubble on his chin, still looking careless, so people couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Du En was too lazy to care about him, anyway, he didn't lie.

After letting Zhu Qingli stay away, he was slightly brewing here, and his pupils were faintly red.

The three true divine fires do not require such strong firepower, only the Phoenix Red True Flame is enough.

The pure red Phoenix Fire was released, but the dryness of the air did not spread. It was confined to a small area, which was also a warning boundary, otherwise it could be completely restrained now.

Then take out the fifth-level materials one by one, and match them with the sixth-level materials as the core key. They were quickly smelted into essence and mixed with changing properties.

He raised his finger and inserted various restrictions into it, then solidified and combined it with the shape, and then began to embellish the pattern with his fingers in the air, and made the key parts such as the mana and spiritual energy circulation channel inside the puppet...

The set of operations seemed to be smooth, but there was a sense of awkwardness.

It really seemed like he had just learned it.

Sheng Zhaoshui nodded slightly, and then his mouth twitched.

"You just learned it and you refine a sixth-level puppet. What kind of new learning is this?"

That's right, since sixth-level materials are used, it is natural that they will not only make fifth-level puppets.

Otherwise, there would be no need for any guardians, and Du En would be able to mass-produce them quickly.

Time passed quickly, and the bodies of the sixth-level low-grade puppets had been made.

Because they were in a hurry now, there was no fancy work, just the most ordinary wooden puppet. As long as the core was installed and the spine was built, it would be alive and kicking immediately.

Du En planned to make 200 puppets for emergency use, and when he had time, he would make fine puppets that could provide good combat power.

——The puppet-control secret method given to him by Meng Changqing also included more advanced puppet-making methods, and he was obviously very clear about the antiquity of the ancient puppet sect.

Of course, even if it was for emergency use, the sixth level was the sixth level, which was comparable to the unit of the Refining Void Stage. Even if it was just the weakest level of ordinary genius-level Refining Void Stage, it was enough to sweep the fifth-level star realm without any rivals.

Boom!

Just when Du En was about to refine a group of puppets, such a movement suddenly broke out in a mine in the distance. The brilliance of the mana flickered faintly, revealing violent instability. Obviously, someone was casting spells to fight.

Hmm?

These guys actually found the real owner?

Originally, Du En had no hope for them, but since he brought them here, he couldn't let them be idle all the time. In the end, it brought such an effect. To be honest, the two of them were only cautious about this at the moment, and the first thing they thought of was a fraud.

"Let's go and have a look first."

Du En waved his hand and took the puppets that were almost ready back to Kongsang Mountain, and then grabbed Zhu Qing, who was just close and unaware, and rushed over with Sheng Zhaoshui.     The guards from other places also heard the news and gathered at the place where the incident happened.

Before they arrived, all kinds of movements were captured.

"Evil beasts! Die!"

"Ah! Damn, these guys are so strong!"

"Hold on, the Lord will be here soon!"

"Ah ah ah! Take my secret method of Jingkong Pierce!"

The four guards here were noisy and panicked, and all kinds of spells and methods were used together, creating all kinds of movements, but among them, the sound of breaking seemed the most piercing.

Bang!

Snap!

"No! My life magic weapon!"

"Damn it! Take this move of mine!"

"Wait, no..."

Boom!

Black smoke billowed, and the fire was deep.

I don't know which guard revealed his trump card, but due to the terrain, an unexpected situation occurred. In a violent explosion, the mine began to collapse, and the ground in the entire area was cracked and about to collapse together.

Du En landed here at this moment, as if he was born on the earth, blending and resonating with it, instantly stabilizing the boundaries of this area, healing the scars, and repairing the foundation.

In addition to the great mana of the Spiritualization Period, there is also the Earth Element Echo as the foundation of the practice. Although it seems particularly inconspicuous now, as if it has been abandoned, it is actually still the basis of one's cultivation. It is impossible to disappear out of thin air, but it is silently supporting the current glory.

So Chengru Zhenjun gave him the Black Turtle Shield. It is also very appropriate to use it to prevent the scene from being destroyed. It can be put to use.

With another wave of his hand, the smoke dissipated, the firelight dimmed, and the four guards who were in a state of embarrassment, two of whom were even seriously injured and unconscious, were taken out through the air and thrown to the back, where the guards gathered and treated them in a hurry.

These guards of the city lord's mansion usually lived a life of luxury, were domineering, and bullied the people in the city. They had long forgotten all kinds of dangerous situations. Now they suddenly encountered them again, and they were all subconsciously shocked and angry.

Only the guard leader was secretly anxious and uneasy. Looking at his subordinates who were seriously injured and embarrassed, he felt deeply that the enemy was difficult.

——With the combined efforts of the four Yuanying guards, it would be difficult for him to defeat them easily. If he was careless, he might even be defeated!

So, what kind of guy could make these four Yuanying period guards fall to such a state?

"Huh..."

"Slurp~"

Tick~

Mid-depth snoring, drool dripping, and bloodthirsty eyes came out from the gloomy darkness of the mine, approaching and swaggering out.

The outline of a human body, either hunched or crawling, but with various animal skins, shells and thorns on the body, as if a person was wearing fur and armor to pretend to be a beast, but looking specifically, whether it is the details of the head or the limbs, they are not what a person should have, but the shape of various monster parts.

So rather than saying that they are human, it is better to say that they are a kind of monster that failed to transform?

Transformation is a training route that monsters can choose to move forward after their cultivation reaches the fifth-level transformation realm and can be called a great monster.

Just like snakes and pythons can choose to transform into dragons, because the human race is powerful and is also a dignified upper race, so those ordinary monster groups, out of admiration for the strong, and there are many spirit beast predecessors who are making samples, will choose to move closer to humans in order to obtain corresponding benefits.

This often requires the great monsters to spend an entire realm to carry out, constantly correcting and adjusting the transformation, gradually transforming from a huge beast form into a perfect human form.

But no matter which stage, it should not be normal to be like the one in front of you, which seems to be possessed by a demon.

Moreover, the strength of these demon beasts is a bit insufficient. Du En can see at a glance that before they were made like this, they only had the strength of the third or fourth level. The third level is the main body, and they can't meet the basic conditions of the fifth level monster.

However, after slightly raising his eyebrows, he nodded secretly.

This is right. The things related to the Supreme True Lord must be these strange ghost things.

To be honest, the Qingxuan Star Realm is so ordinary that he really feels a little uncomfortable. At this moment, he encounters these strange things that are obviously interfered by human intervention and tossed by evil methods. This is to find the feeling before.

Sheng Zhaoshui's thoughts at this moment are not much different from Du En's mood.

Finally, he encountered an obvious problem. A good enemy is one who does not hide!

But the guards were not in such a good mood.

They were still very angry and wanted to give the enemy a good look, so as to maintain their original status and dignity again. But now when they saw the real master, their courage immediately dissipated half, and they couldn't help but turn pale and gradually sweat.

That malicious look, that surging demonic energy, was not what normal things should have!

The bloodthirsty eyes cast on them, and they felt horrified.

Sensing the strange demonic energy, even the Yuanying was trembling, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and they couldn't raise any resistance at all.

All kinds of thoughts flowed, only in the blink of an eye.

Just when the ordinary people were thinking about their own things, those demonic beasts could no longer hold back, their eyes were red, and the manic demonic power was noisy. They rushed out immediately without any fear.

"Ahhh!"

Before Du En made a move, they were exposed to the sunlight, and these demonic beasts screamed one after another, as if they would die in the light, and black mist emanated from their bodies.

Du En paused his attack, raised his hand, and a wisp of mist came into his hand.

It had no smell, not demonic energy. If you crush it, it looks more like the dispersion of the source of life?

He couldn't see the specific situation for a while, which was normal, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After the black mist in his hand dissipated, he looked at the demonic beasts again.

They had retreated back to the mine, their breath was unstable, and the wounds were like melted asphalt, even the bones were melted. There was reluctance in their eyes, but they still turned their heads and left, retreating to the depths of the mine.

"Your Majesty."

The head of the guards came over and said, "Looking at the details of these bizarre monsters, they seem to be the monsters mentioned in the clues in the market. What should we do next?"

"I think they are defeated by sunlight, so the situation is simple. If we lead the sunlight into them, they will naturally be invincible."

Du En said this, raised his hand and pointed at the high sun, and a group of brilliant golden light immediately separated from the bright fire. With another move of his finger, a bunch of light fell on the guards. The whole person seemed to be a divine weapon descended on the spot, and each of them was bright and could be used as a lighting fixture at night.

A surge of courage arose spontaneously, and even the injured ones were shocked, and the unconscious ones woke up on the spot, all of them were full of courage.

The meaning of such actions is obvious.

You have been strengthened, there are special attacks, go!

The head of the guards' eyes flickered, gritted his teeth slightly, and waved his hand: "Go! Get rid of these things that dare to secretly occupy outside the city and have become a disaster!"
