Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 03 The Mystery of the Earth Turtle and the Demon Stone
The young man saw the two people in front of him both looking disapproving, as if he was lying to scare them. His face flushed unconsciously, and he raised his voice and said hurriedly, "I'm not lying. The village elders said this is a demonic stone! There's a monster hidden inside! If it's awakened and breaks out of the stone, it will eat people!"
Upon hearing this, Yinglili and Mo Yi exchanged a tacit glance. Yinglili breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed her previous worries were unnecessary. The people in that village had long known about the presence of demonic energy here, so they should be fine, right? But how did they resist this thick demonic energy? The village wasn't too far , only a mile or two at most. They wouldn't believe it if they said it hadn't been affected by the demonic energy at all.
And how did this young man resist the evil spirit in the forest? Ying Lili had just used the Life Spirit Technique to explore it, and this young man was absolutely an ordinary human.
There wasn't even a trace of demonic energy on him, so how did he resist the demonic energy in this dense forest? It didn't look like this young man had a high level of cultivation.
At this moment, Yan Zheng and others also rushed over. The surrounding carnivorous plants saw that there were more humans coming, and they all pounced and bit them ferociously. Yan Zheng didn't think twice and subconsciously protected Ze Ze behind him. Without frowning, a talisman suddenly flew out from his fingertips, and countless three-flavor true fire suddenly jumped out from the talisman, burning the carnivorous plants and making them squeak. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of dead vines.
Then, he frowned and looked at the deep pit where the evil spirit was rampant. His fingertips moved slightly and he formed seals secretly. Then, eight talismans flew out from his fingertips. His fingers moved slightly and the talismans all burned. A burst of outstanding righteousness suddenly spread out. Then, a large silver net formed in the air and quickly turned over and fell down, as if a layer of light shield was put on the deep pit. Suddenly, the evil spirit around it weakened a lot, and the purple mist gradually dissipated, but it seemed that it did not alarm the demon stone at all. The whole process was done in one go, silently and efficiently.
Throughout the whole process, he protected little Zeze behind him like a protector.
Zeze opened his bright eyes wide and watched Yan Zheng's actions silently. Although he still looked like a child, he was the reincarnation of "Ling Yi" after all. His actual age was much older than Yan Zheng. In terms of cultivation, it was several times higher than Yan Zheng's. However, the feeling of being taken care of like a child was really not bad.
Yan Zheng didn't know that Zeze was the master of the previous demon ape Zhu Yan, but he vaguely knew that Zeze should be the reincarnation of the spirit of some treasure. However, in his mind, this was always a child, so naturally he took extra care of Zeze.
In the past few days, Yan Zheng has become the nanny of this group of people. All the trivial matters such as hunting and making fire are taken care of by Yan Zheng silently. It's not that Mo Yi disdains to do it, but Mo Yi's good temper and gentleness have only been shown to Gong Lili. Most of the time, the rest of the people are like air in Mo Yi's eyes.
Mo Yi curled his lips, thinking that it would be useful to have this Sha Mo wizard with him. It seemed that he had subconsciously forgotten that the person next to him was the chief wizard of the Sha Mo clan.
However, to a certain extent, Gong Lili and Mo Yi are the same kind of people who like to act smart. They both hold the attitude that if they don't take action, then don't take action. Once they take action, they must make a stunning victory with one blow. They don't have the patience of Yan Zheng. That's why they would rather stand in the air just now, but no one is willing to take action to clean up those carnivorous plants first and suppress the evil spirit of the demon stone.
Both of them were focused on the magic stone, and they were each wondering what kind of monster was hatching in the magic stone.
The young man captured by Mo Yi had no idea of these twists and turns, let alone that Yan Zheng and Mo Yi were in the same group. He had never seen the world before, so when he saw Yan Zheng's skills, he was shocked. He thought he had bumped into some otherworldly master, and was immediately overjoyed, shouting repeatedly: "Master, help me~"
Are you talking about Yan Zheng?
How to save? Defeat yourself?
Mo Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, and his expression twitched slightly. Beside him, Gong Lili could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, teasing Mo Yi mischievously as he laughed: "Big devil, put me down quickly, or I'll ask an 'expert' to punish you later."
As if on purpose, he even emphasized the word "expert" especially. Seeing Mo Yi's mouth twitching again, it was met with even louder laughter from Peng Lili.
Although she was laughing, Ying Lili was not idle either. She just tapped her fingers lightly and used her own spiritual power to help the young man break free from the restraints imposed by Mo Yishi. The young man did not like a bad person, but very simple, with a simple and honest expression on his face.
"What's your name?" She gently broke free from Mo Yi's hand, stepped on tiptoe, and landed gracefully.
"My name is Erhuzi." At this moment, the young man, who had just been freed by Yinglili, landed steadily in front of Yinglili. As if knowing that Yinglili had untied him, the young man's original hostility gradually disappeared. He smiled at her innocently, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Erhuzi, this name is just like him, quite shabby and unfashionable. Ying Lili decided to call this young man Tubie for the time being. With a light flick of her fingertips, she pulled the long arrow that had bounced back from the boy's body with a whoosh. Then she used her spiritual power to stop the bleeding for him, and then she spoke: "What did you just say? What kind of monster is hidden in this demonic stone?"
Tu Bie was already very surprised to see that the petite stranger woman could remove the invisible restraints on his body with just a snap of her fingers. Now he saw that she pulled out the arrow from his body with just a few moves of her fingers, and even the wound that was originally bleeding began to stop bleeding. He felt it was incredible!
Seeing the expert standing respectfully behind her, he finally realized that they were in the same group. However, after seeing the expert's actions and the woman's actions of pulling out the arrow for him, he knew that they were not bad people. Perhaps they really had peerless martial arts that could help them get rid of the evil stone. Thinking of this, the young man was immediately delighted, and his fear disappeared. He hurriedly said to Gong Lili, "Thank you, Fairy!"
Fairy? What is this? The corners of Ying Lili's mouth began to twitch. This country bumpkin's words were really interesting. She had been in the Void Realm for so long and had been called "girl", "lady", "mistress", and everything in between, but no one had ever called her Fairy.
And looking at the eyes of this country bumpkin shining with admiration, does he really think he is some kind of immortal?
Looking at the plain green clothes on herself, Ping Lili thought to herself with self-mockery, should she put a few lotus flowers on her head and let Mo Yi create some brilliant rays of light behind her?
She was about to explain that she wasn't an immortal when the rustic boy spoke again hurriedly, "Please, Fairy, have mercy on us and get rid of the monster in this magic stone for us, otherwise everyone in the village will die of illness!"
As soon as these words came out, Gong Lili was stunned. Looking at the appearance of this young man before, he seemed He thought that these evil spirits should have no effect on him, so he subconsciously thought that the people in the village must be safe. Unexpectedly, he heard that everyone in the village was about to die of illness. What was going on?
She glanced at Mo Yi, who was still standing in the void. Mo Yi's gaze was now fixed on the direction of the village in the distance. Judging from the expression on his face, the situation was indeed not optimistic. She calmed down and said seriously, "Don't worry, tell me in detail, what is going on? What is inside this demonic stone? And what's going on with the people in your village?"
The rustic boy's face flushed red as he pointed at the deep pit and gritted his teeth, "Our village was doing just fine. Three years ago, this demonic stone suddenly fell from the sky and landed here. Since then, this forest and our village have been invaded by demonic energy. The flowers, trees, insects, birds, and animals in the forest have all become strange, and the villagers have also started to fall ill one after another. The elders say that this is a demonic stone containing a demon. If the demon comes out, our entire village will be completely destroyed."
"Then, what's wrong with you? Since everyone in your village has contracted a strange disease, why do you look fine ?" Gong Lili urgently needed to figure out this problem. Although this country boy didn't seem to be lying, he didn't seem to have any cultivation skills either.
"I don't know either. The elders also find it very strange. Except for me, no one in the village can get too close to this forest. So the elders sent me here to patrol every day to see what's going on with this evil stone." The country boy scratched his head and answered every question with a simple and honest look on his face.
When Ping Lili heard this, she frowned. She looked at the young man carefully again, but didn't see anything special about him, except that he was a little stronger. She turned around to look at Yan Zheng, who also shook his head in confusion. It was Ze Ze who was frowning at this time, squatting beside the deep pit, as if he was very interested.
Pinglili hurried over and squatted beside him, asking in a low voice, "Zeze, did you see anything?"
Zeze made a hushing gesture at her, and then pressed his entire body against the silver light shield that Yan Zheng had just created, as if he was listening to something, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter.
After listening for a while, he stood up and said to Ying Lili in a serious tone, "Sister Lili, this demon stone is indeed a bit strange. I just listened and it seems that there is an unusual demon hidden in it, but I can't tell what it is. Why don't we release one of the demon rats and ask them? They know a lot about the demon world."
Only then did Gong Lili remember that her demon-binding ring still contained the demon rat clan she met outside the Suzaku Temple that day. Because they kept calling Ze Ze their little master and said that their master had promised to give them freedom, so at Ze Ze's request, Gong Lili used the demon-binding ring to capture them all.
But then he thought that they were monsters and he didn't dare to let them out easily, for fear that they would bring harm to living beings. So he kept them in the monster-binding ring. When he heard what Zeze said, he remembered and quickly released one of them.
The demon rat clan had been sealed underground for thousands of years and was finally brought out of the ground. Although they were bound in the demon-binding ring, Yinglili promised them that if they found a suitable place for them to survive, they would be released and given freedom. So they were naturally grateful to Yinglili. At this time, Yinglili brought one of them out to ask questions, and of course, it answered all the questions.
When the country boy saw that Yinglili could create a monster out of thin air from a small bracelet, his eyes lit up and he was filled with admiration. He almost worshipped Yinglili as a fairy.
Yinglili asked the demon rat to take a closer look at the demon stone in the deep pit, and then asked anxiously, "Do you know the origin of this demon stone?"
The moment the demon rat laid eyes on the demon stone, it immediately began to tremble all over. Gong Lili could even see its hair standing on end. It trembled as it said, "This, this, I'm afraid there might be a ninth-level demon beast in there..."
A ninth-level demon beast? !
