Yang Jian and Nezha walked along the winding path. The surrounding mountains and forests became increasingly dense, and there were faint sounds of eerie beast roars. Suddenly, a group of wolves appeared, but they exuded a ghostly sound. The monsters of light sprang out from the woods and surrounded them. The monsters bared their sharp fangs and roared deeply, with bloodthirsty light shining in their eyes. Yang Jian Hold on tight Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd, Nezha held Fire-Tipped Spear. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of fear, and a fierce battle was about to break out. And inside ZhaoGe City, Hu Shu looked at the mountain of defense materials that were still insufficient, frowning and lost in thought. Di Xin stood aside, anxiously waiting for Hu Shu's next instructions.
Yang Jian was the first to attack. His body was like lightning, and Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd struck at the leader of the monster with a cold light. The monster was not weak at all. He nimbly dodged sideways and dodged the sharp blow. At the same time, He opened his big mouth and bit Yang Jian's arm. Yang Jian snorted coldly, twisted his arm, turned the blade, and stabbed the monster in the abdomen. The monster felt pain, let out a scream, and backed away.
Nezha was not idle either. He stepped on Wind Fire Wheels and shuttled back and forth among the monsters. Fire-Tipped Spear was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole. Every time he thrust out, he could accurately hit the monsters. Wherever Wind Fire Wheels went, the ground was scorched black and exuded a pungent burnt smell. Although the monsters were numerous in number, they were gradually unable to withstand the fierce attacks of Yang Jian and Nezha.
However, at this moment, a huge monster slowly walked out from the depths of the woods. It exuded a powerful aura, which made the surrounding air a little heavy. The appearance of this monster made the already tense situation even more serious. It raised its head to the sky and roared, the sound was like a loud bell, making the surrounding trees tremble. Then, it kicked off its limbs and rushed towards Yang Jian and Nezha.
Yang Jian and Nezha did not dare to be careless. They quickly adjusted their tactics and stood back to back to deal with this powerful monster together. Yang Jian focused all his mana on Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd, and the blade shone brightly; Nezha turned Universe Ring was held in his hand, ready to attack at any time. When the huge monster rushed forward, Yang Jian shouted and chopped Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd down hard. At the same time, Nezha also threw Universe Ring towards the monster's head.
The monster did not dodge. It stretched out its huge claws and caught Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd from Yang Jian. At the same time, it blocked Nezha's Universe Ring with its other claw. The two sides were in a stalemate, and they were inseparable for a while. At this critical moment, Yang Jian had an idea, and while the monster's attention was on him, he quietly injected a ray of mana into Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd, and then suddenly drew the knife. The monster did not expect Yang Jian to have such a move, and his claws were cut deep by the blade of the knife, causing blood to flow out.
The monster felt pain and roared angrily. It stopped fighting and quickly disappeared into the woods with the remaining monsters. Yang Jian and Nezha looked at the direction the monster left and breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this was just the beginning, and the road ahead was still full of unknown dangers.
After a long journey, Yang Jian and Nezha finally returned to Chaoge. They went straight to the palace of Di Xin. At this time, Hu Shu and Di Xin was discussing defense matters. Seeing Yang Jian and Nezha coming back, Hu Shu and Di Xin showed a look of relief on their faces.
"Master, we are back." Yang Jian and Nezha said in unison.
"How's it going? Are there any clues about the runes?" Hu Shu asked impatiently.
Yang Jian informed Hu Shu and Di Xin in detail about the encounter with the reclusive old man in the cave and what the old man said about Spirit Essence Pearl. After listening to this, Hu Shu fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, "Since this Spirit Essence Pearl can resonate with the runes, it is very important for us to interpret the runes. However, this Myriad Monster Valley is extremely dangerous, so you must be careful here."
Di Xin also said, "Two junior brothers, Chaoge has master and me here, you can rest assured to go find Spirit Essence Pearl. We will continue to improve Chaoge's defense and Invincible Domain's layout, and will not let Mysterious Faction take advantage of it."
After everyone discussed, it was finally decided that Yang Jian and Nezha would go search for Spirit Essence Pearl, while Hu Shu and Di Xin would stay at Chaoge to continue preparing for defense matters.
After the discussion, Hu Shu brought Di Xin to a quiet corner of the palace. He looked at Di Xin and said seriously, "Di Xin, as the monarch of the King of Shang dynasty, you have a heavy responsibility in this calamity. I will now pass on some of my practice experience to you, hoping to help you improve your strength."
Di Xin was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Master, for your teaching. I will definitely study hard."
Hu Shu nodded and began to talk about his many years of practice experience. He went from comprehending Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, to how to transform spiritual energy into his own magic power, and then to how to use magic power. Supernatural Abilities tried his best to explain everything in great detail. Di Xin was fascinated by it and asked some questions from time to time, which Hu Shu patiently answered.
Time passed unconsciously. When Hu Shu finished speaking, Di Xin felt as if his spiritual realm had loosened a little. His gratitude to Hu Shu became even deeper.
"Okay, you go down and understand it carefully. During this period, we must strengthen Chaoge's defense as soon as possible without any slack." Hu Shu said.
"Yes, Master." Di Xin said respectfully, then turned and left.
On the other side, Yang Jian and Nezha were also preparing for the upcoming journey. They checked their weapons and equipment to make sure there were no problems. After everything was ready, they set out again to find Spirit Essence Pearl.
Yang Jian and Nezha walked out of ZhaoGe City and headed in the direction of Myriad Monster Valley. At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows. Along the way, they carefully observed the movements around them and did not dare to be careless at all.
As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more strange. The originally lush trees gradually became dry and twisted, as if eroded by an evil force. The ground was covered with strange lines, exuding a faint light. There was a putrid smell in the air, which made people sick to smell it.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, making their clothes rustle. Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, and they knew that danger was coming. Sure enough, there was a rustling sound in the grass not far away, as if something was moving quickly.
The two quickly got into a fighting stance, staring closely in the direction of the grass. A monster that looked like a fox but had nine tails jumped out of the grass. Its eyes flashed with a strange red light, and its body exuded the powerful Yao Qi.
"Be careful, this is Nine-tailed Fox Demon, its strength cannot be underestimated." Yang Jian said in a low voice.
Nezha held Fire-Tipped Spear tightly and said, "What kind of demon foxes are they, come and kill one, come and kill two."
Nine-tailed Fox Demon looked at Yang Jian and Nezha with a disdainful smile. It opened its mouth and spit out a black flame, spraying it towards Yang Jian and Nezha. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and the air was ignited wherever it passed, making a sizzling sound.
Yang Jian and Nezha quickly evaded, and Black Flame flew past their bodies, instantly burning a big tree behind them to ashes. Yang Jian saw the right opportunity and took advantage of During the gap between Nine-tailed Fox Demon's attacks, he held Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd and rushed towards it. Nine-tailed Fox Demon nimbly dodged Yang Jian's attack, and at the same time, waving his nine tails, he whipped towards Yang Jian.
Yang Jian dodged sideways to avoid the tail attack, and then slashed Nine-tailed Fox Demon's tail with a backhand knife. Nine-tailed Fox Demon felt pain and let out a sharp cry. A trace of anger flashed in its eyes, and it spit out Black Flame again, and at the same time, the nine tails also attacked Yang Jian.
Seeing this, Nezha stepped on Wind Fire Wheels and quickly came to Yang Jian. He inserted Fire-Tipped Spear into the ground, then made seals with his hands and muttered words. A wall of fire suddenly rose on the ground, blocking the tails of Black Flame and Nine-tailed Fox Demon.
"Yang Jian, we attack together, we can't give it a chance to breathe." Nezha shouted.
Yang Jian nodded, and the two of them used their strength at the same time and rushed towards Nine-tailed Fox Demon. Yang Jian's Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd and Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear stabbed at Nine-tailed Fox Demon at the same time. Nine-tailed Fox Demon tried to dodge, but it was too late. It let out a scream, its body was penetrated by the sharp blade, and it fell to the ground.
After solving Nine-tailed Fox Demon, Yang Jian and Nezha continued to move forward. They knew that this was just an episode on their way to find Spirit Essence Pearl, and there were more dangers waiting for them ahead.
As the night grew deeper and deeper, the surrounding darkness seemed to have solidified, weighing heavily on the hearts of Yang Jian and Nezha. Their footsteps stepped on the ground full of dead branches and leaves, making a crisp "crunching" sound, which was particularly abrupt in the silent night.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the gloomy Stone Forest ahead. The stones in the Stone Forest were of different shapes, some looked like monsters with teeth and claws, and some looked like twisted and struggling human figures, which looked particularly weird under the light of lightning. Then, thunder rolled in, shaking the ground slightly.
"It seems like something is getting more and more wrong with this place." Nezha said with a frown.
Yang Jian nodded, held the Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd in his hand tightly, and said, "Be more careful, I don't know what dangers are hidden in this Stone Forest."
The two walked into Stone Forest cautiously, taking every step with great caution. Stone Forest was filled with a thin layer of fog, and their vision was greatly restricted. They could only rely on the occasional flash of lightning to barely see the road ahead.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from the depths of Stone Forest. The flute sound was melodious and melodious, but it also had a hint of indescribable weirdness. Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes. It must not be simple for this flute sound to sound in such a gloomy environment.
"Enemy or friend?" Nezha asked in a low voice.
Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Go and take a look first, be careful of scams."
The two walked in the direction of the sound of the flute, and in an open area of Stone Forest, they saw a woman dressed in white. The woman had her back to them, holding a Jade Flute in her hand, and was playing the weird tune. The surrounding mist seemed to be pulled by the sound of the flute, slowly rotating around the woman.
"Who are you? Why are you playing this weird music here?" Yang Jian asked loudly.
The woman did not answer and continued to play the flute. Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other and slowly approached the woman. When they were still a few steps away from the woman, the woman suddenly stopped playing and turned around slowly.
The woman's face was beautiful, her skin was as good as snow, but her eyes were empty and lifeless, with a cold aura. She looked at Yang Jian and Nezha, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"You shouldn't have come here..." The woman's voice seemed to come from Nine Nether Hell, cold and bone-chilling.
As soon as the voice fell, the Jade Flute in the woman's hand flashed with light, and black rays of light shot out from the flute body, shooting towards Yang Jian and Nezha. Yang Jian and Nezha quickly avoided, and the black light flew past their bodies and hit the stone next to them. The stone was instantly corroded to create big holes.
"He is indeed an enemy!" Nezha said angrily, holding Fire-Tipped Spear and rushed towards the woman.
The woman dodged and easily dodged Nezha's attack. She played Jade Flute again. This time, the sound of the flute became more urgent, and the surrounding fog became thicker. Illusive monsters gradually emerged from the fog, and they rushed towards Yang Jian and Nezha with their claws and teeth.
Yang Jian waved Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd and chopped up the monsters that rushed towards him one by one. But these monsters seemed to be endless, coming up one after another. Nezha was not to be outdone. He stepped on Wind Fire Wheels and shuttled among the monsters. Wherever Fire-Tipped Spear went, the monsters disappeared one after another.
However, as time went by, Yang Jian and Nezha gradually felt a little tired. Although these monsters were not strong individually, there were too many of them, and the woman kept playing the flute next to them, constantly summoning monsters.
"This is not the way to go. We have to find a way to deal with that woman." Yang Jian shouted.
Nezha nodded, and with an idea, he took out Chaos Tending Silk from his body. Chaos Tending Silk unfolded in the air, like a giant red dragon, flying towards the woman. When the woman saw Chaos Tending Silk flying, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly stopped playing the flute, formed a seal with her hands, and a black barrier appeared in front of her.
Chaos Tending Silk collided with Black Barrier, emitting a dazzling light. But Black Barrier was very strong, and Chaos Tending Silk could not break through for a while. At this moment, Yang Jian saw the right opportunity and held Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd, rushed towards the woman. The woman saw Yang Jian rushing towards her and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Yang Jian's Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd slashed hard on Black Barrier, and a crack appeared in Black Barrier.
Seeing this, Nezha increased the mana output to Chaos Tending Silk. Chaos Tending Silk's light was so strong that it finally broke through Black Barrier and entangled the woman's body. The woman let out a scream and Jade Flute in her hand fell to the ground. Those illusory monsters also disappeared instantly with the woman's scream.
Yang Jian and Nezha walked forward and looked at the woman entangled by Chaos Tending Silk. The hole in the woman's eyes disappeared, replaced by a trace of fear.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?" Yang Jian asked.
The woman hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "I... I can't help myself. Someone ordered me to stop you here. If I don't do it, my family will be in danger."
"Who ordered you?" Nezha asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know, I only know that he is a mysterious Black Robe. He gave me this Jade Flute. As long as you play the tune, you can summon monsters."
Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, and they guessed that Black Robe was probably related to Mysterious Faction.
"Let me go, I won't stop you anymore." The woman begged.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll let you go. But you have to remember not to help others." After that, he untied Chaos Tending Silk.
The woman glanced at them gratefully, then picked up Jade Flute and disappeared into the mist.
Yang Jian and Nezha continue on their journey to find Spirit Essence Pearl. They know that the road ahead is still full of unknown dangers, but they have no intention of backing down.
Inside ZhaoGe City, Hu Shu and Di Xin were also busy nervously. Hu Shu directed the craftsmen to rearrange the defensive formations. He held a piece of Spirit Stone that exuded light in his hand., murmuring words. With his spell, Spirit Stone's light became stronger and stronger, and the formation gradually took shape. Di Xin led the soldiers to carry defensive materials and stacked them neatly around the city wall.
"Master, although these defense materials have been increased, it is still not enough to deploy a defense that can withstand another attack by Mysterious Faction." Di Xin frowned as he looked at the mountain of materials.
Hu Shu nodded and said, "I know, we have to find a way to find more resources. You first arrange for soldiers to strengthen patrols to prevent Mysterious Faction from taking advantage of the situation."
"Yes, Master." Di Xin responded, then turned around to arrange for soldiers to patrol.
Hu Shu looked at Di Xin's leaving figure and secretly thought about how to solve the problem of resource shortage. He knew that time was running out and there was not much time left for them.
Yang Jian and Nezha are walking hard on a dangerous road. Can they successfully find Spirit Essence Pearl? Can Hu Shu and Di Xin's arrangements in Chaoge withstand another attack from Mysterious Faction? Everything is unknown, and they can only move forward bravely.
