Chapter 417 Secret Curse Suppresses Evil
The insects were so overwhelming that it made my scalp numb.
Everyone finally saw his appearance clearly.
It looks like a cicada, but has a centipede body, very similar to the bug they saw in "Du Huo Divine Coffin" before.
But the size is much smaller and the color is different.
It was gray-white in color, with salt spray on its body, flying all over the sky, and the salt powder was also mixed into the thick fog.
These salt powders are also their weapons.
No matter how powerful Poisonous Bee Swarm is, after killing an enemy several times his own, he was covered in salt powder and fell to the ground and died.
Not only that, these salt powders are also attached to Yin Energy, rolling with the swarm of insects, and rushing towards everyone like a poisonous barrier.
"Stand back, don't get involved!"
Lu San's complexion suddenly changed and he shouted a reminder.
He heard Li Yan describe Xie Chengzu's appearance at that time. After dispelling the evil spirits, he immediately vomited out a large amount of salty and smelly pus.
Now that I look at it, I already have some guesses in my mind.
Performing magic requires a medium. These salt powders are probably the means used by "Guest in the Mist" to control the villagers.
Phew~
At this moment, there was a sudden Yin Wind noise all around.
However, the "Five Directions Fengdu Banner" that Li Yan had arranged in advance began to show its power, and the Yin soldiers were dispatched, setting off strong winds and mist, and blowing away all the incoming salt powder.
In the dense forest, there is a cold air.
The trees, branches and leaves were all covered with a layer of white frost.
The swarm of insects that rushed towards it were also affected and could not get close.
The immediate crisis has been resolved, but everyone is still vigilant.
In the thick fog, silhouettes of people have appeared. They gather and disperse. They seem to be made of black fog and have no physical bodies.
But everyone could vaguely see clearly that the clothes of those black figures were very simple, like Animal Hide linen, and they also wore various feather crests on their heads.
They gathered more and more in the fog, like the dead souls returning from ancient times, surrounding them from all directions.
"Fast Boat Zhang" turned pale with fright.
He remembered the words of disciple Xie Chengzu and murmured, "'Guest in the Mist' is not one, they are not Ba people, they are the innocent souls of the Saltwater Tribe..."
"What nonsense!"
Sha LiFei also had a numb scalp, but it actually aroused his fierceness.
His current attire is a military robe, a wide leather belt with copper buckles, and a large cloak, giving him the appearance of a great hero.
All I need is a flower on the side of my hat.
Among the entire team, he was dressed most coquettishly.
But the reason for doing this is also to conceal the weapon.
I saw him flicking his cloak and taking out two Flintlock Firearm directly from his wide belt, both of which were New Style Firearm.
During the battle between Shennongjia and Long Xiang Army, they captured a lot of them. They had no time to re-modify them, so they suffered some losses and exchanged them with Yunyang Prefecture Yamen.
This was possible thanks to the intercession of people from the Ministry of Industry.
These two Flintlock Firearm are short fire blunderbuss. Of course, they are not as refined as those specially customized by Li Yan, but they are still quite powerful.
Bang! Bang!
There were two loud noises and smoke scattered in all directions.
Black shadows exploded in the thick fog, but quickly gathered together.
"It's useless, don't waste gunpowder!"
Lu San shouted in a low voice, "Those things are invisible, stand back and stay away!"
"Hmm."
Sha LiFei had no choice but to retreat.
This kind of thing is really not something he can handle.
Lu San was also worried, but when he turned around and saw the luggage Wu Ba put down, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Quick, bring Cloud Thunder Divine Drum!"
"Can you use it?"
Sha LiFei was a little surprised.
Li Yan This Cloud Thunder Divine Drum, although rarely used, can always play a role in some critical moments, so no matter how troublesome it is, keep it with you.
But this magical instrument is made of the top grade Thunderstruck Wood. Rhinoceros Hide is a drum head. It is extremely laborious to strike. If you are not careful, you will injure Divine Soul.
Even Wang Dao Xuan is difficult to use.
And Lu San's moral integrity is still one level behind theirs.
"I'll try it with Witch Drum Technique."
Lu San stared at the surroundings with a determined face.
Like Sha LiFei, he is a bit biased. He is good at controlling beasts and has limited skills. Faced with this situation, he can only take a risk.
Wang Dao Xuan wants to cast spells without caring about others. Five Directions Fengdu Banner is completely driven by formations. If you don't think of a way, you will be broken sooner or later.
Sha LiFei gritted his teeth and immediately brought the drum.
Lu San swayed, taking primitive witch steps under his feet, cast Hidden Strength, and slapped hard.
Boom!
The drum beat was like thunder, and a counter-shock force came.
It was not as powerful as Li Yan, and the tapping method was wrong, causing Lu San's palms to feel numb.
However, those insects that were approaching were affected and retreated one after another. Even the black shadows in the thick fog no longer came close.
There is a door!
Lu San's eyes lit up and he immediately used all his strength.
He chanted the incantation with concentration, and the rhythm of his palms changed quickly and slowly.
The drumming of Li Yan is Qin Han Drum Rhythms, which has a brilliant power, while the rhythm of Lu San's witch drum has a hint of joy.
He chanted witchcraft spells and kept tapping.
With the sound of drums, no matter the swarms of insects or the gathering and dispersing black shadows, as long as they get close, they will all be dispersed.
However, the consequences are also beginning to show.
Lu San has never practiced the thunder method, but this Cloud Thunder Divine Drum, with a hint of thunder charm, struck with Shen Shen, and Divine Soul was also shocked.
He only felt chest tightness and dizziness, and his eyesight went black for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Gradually, his forehead was covered with veins and he was sweating profusely.
The little fox Chu Qi next to him saw it, and his eyes were full of distress. However, although it had spirituality since birth, its skills were still shallow and it only knew some simple fart ecstasy.
So, I just jumped up and down and screamed to the sky.
The fox barks and the witch drum sounds. It seems chaotic, but there is an inexplicable harmony, as if returning to the Savage Wilderness era.
Lu San's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were blurred, and he entered a strange state, as if he was running in the wilderness with a group of animals.
Gradually, those bone strings began to sway, and the surrounding mountain winds blew violently. The air of the mountains and rivers gathered again, and the strong wind roared, as if there were ferocious beasts flapping up and down in the thick fog.
Even the insect swarms and black shadows in the distance were scattered.
Although Lu San was injured, he gained more time.
In front of the altar behind them, Wang Dao Xuan finally picked up the third Magic Arrow, bit his fingertips and smeared blood, then made a hand and recited a mantra, inserted it into the straw man with a pop, took two steps back, shook his Daoist robe, stepped forward Four Directions Step, and bowed suddenly.
"Roar!"
In the thick fog, a roar suddenly sounded.
It was no longer the scream before, but more like some kind of wild beast.
Bang!
The originally gathered insect swarm exploded, and the densely packed figures in the black mist also dispersed at the same time.
<Seven Arrows Secret Curse> It is widely circulated, and being able to cast the first three arrows is already the limit that ordinary people can bear.
As soon as the three arrows are shot out, most of the evil spirits will be driven away.
However, Wang Dao Xuan's face was still solemn.
If the opponent is cursed to death, the straw man on the altar will burn instantly, but now the straw man is still intact.
On the other side, Sha LiFei originally smiled happily, but soon his face turned stiff.
In the thick fog, scattered insect swarms gathered together again, merged with the black fog monsters, and turned into a huge figure.
This figure, with insects squirming on its body and black smoke flowing out, was about seven or eight meters tall, striding towards them.
Lu San gritted his teeth and continued to slap Cloud Thunder Divine Drum.
He pushed with all his strength, his vision turned black and he foamed at the mouth. Divine Soul was injured by the shock, but he still refused to give up.
Dong dong dong, the drum sound is like thunder.
The ripples visible to the naked eye spread, raising white mist and hitting the huge black shadow, but only caused some insect corpses to fall from it.
"Squeak--squeak!"
The black shadow also let out a shrill and weird scream.
Poof!
The force of the counter-shock came, and Lu San couldn't bear it anymore, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground.
Sha LiFei quickly took out Wang Jingxiu's pill, stuffed it into Lu San's mouth, and then lifted it up to replace the magazine of the short-fire gun.
Bang! Bang!
With two loud noises, the insect swarm on the upper body of the monster figure exploded.
Without waiting for his reply, Sha LiFei picked up Divine Firearm next to him.
Boom!
Divine Firearm is more powerful and can directly scatter the monster Shadow Strike.
This "Guest in the Mist" finally showed its true form, but the use of insect swarms to gather its physical body also gave it weaknesses.
But soon, the scattered insect swarms gathered again, turning from human figures into black whirlwinds, Yin Energy spread, roaring towards them.
Phew~
Around the altar, Yin Wind roared, frost spread, and the Yin soldiers were dispatched to fight with the monster.
Two strange winds collided up and down, causing vegetation to fly around.
Sha LiFei looked desperate. While quickly changing the magazine, he turned around and shouted, "Daoist Master, are you okay?"
However, Wang Dao Xuan didn't bother to respond to him.
When using <Seven Arrows Secret Curse>, you will also have to endure the erosion of the evil power, and even the backlash of the opponent's power.
At this moment, Wang Dao Xuan was covered with hoarfrost and was filled with cold air. He was holding the last arrow while holding the last arrow, but he was shaking and couldn't insert it.
"Ah--!"
Sha LiFei roared and fired three times in a row.
The strange shadow was scattered again, but quickly condensed and continued to move towards the altar.
Snap!
One battalion of Yin soldiers was damaged and was beaten back to Five Directions Fengdu Banner.
One of the flags that had been planted suddenly tilted...
On the other side, in the ruins valley.
"Roar!"
Wu Ba roared angrily, swung the big ax up and down, and chopped all the Cured Meat Zombies that rushed towards him into pieces.
If it were any other Yin Soul ghost, he might not be able to do anything about it.
But these iron-hard zombies pose no threat at all to the amazingly powerful Wu Ba, they are just too numerous.
Li Yan, on the other hand, ignored it. Under the protection of Wu Ba, he used Divine Ability to carefully explore along the valley.
"Found it!"
Finally, Li Yan's eyes lit up and he suddenly jumped out.
He ran quickly and came to a ruins on the north side.
It is a little different from other places. There is no brine salt pond here, but an open space with overgrown and sparse weeds.
Li Yan quickly pushed away the floating soil, revealing yellow sandstone underneath.
It looks like ordinary stone ground, but Li Yan can smell it, and the source of the strange evil energy is inside.
It's a coffin!
Li Yan After looking at it for a moment, it became clear instantly.
If other people saw it, they would probably not recognize it, but he had seen this object in a museum somewhere in the southwest in his previous life.
Some ancient tribes often used local sandstone to carve Stone Coffin, and buried important tribal figures, such as sacrificial leaders, in it.
Like the tree burial, this is also the oldest prototype of the coffin. It is completely different from the shape of today's coffins. It is square and flat. After being closed up and down, it is then glued with sand and gravel powder to fit tightly.
If you are not clear, you will really miss it.
"Wu Ba, smash it!"
Li Yan roared and faced the zombies.
He doesn't have blunt weapons, so it's hard to do it Martial Power with just his body.
Wu Ba didn't hesitate, turned around and rushed towards Stone Coffin.
He didn't understand why Li Yan had to chisel the stone himself, but he knew clearly that the team must listen to Li Yan's orders.
"Roar!"
Wu Ba roared, his muscles all swollen, he picked up the big ax and struck the ground hard.
Boom!
When the ax went down, gravel flew everywhere.
Boom!
After two axes were pushed down, large cracks appeared.
On the top of the mountain where Wang Dao Xuan was, a shrill roar sounded at the same time, and a swarm of insects rolled in the dense fog. They gave up attacking the altar and turned back to the valley.
Obviously Li Yan's actions have threatened him.
Unfortunately, everything is too late.
Boom!
Another blow with the axe, and the sand Stone Coffin material finally shattered.
The black and smelly ichor surged out, revealing a corpse inside, wrapped in a thick layer of white salt crust, and only the human figure could be vaguely seen.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Yan chopped the zombie away with one knife and rushed to the corpse.
At the same time, thick fog roared in from outside the valley.
Li Yan clenched his fist, the electric arc sizzled, he smashed the salt shell with one punch, and smashed the head of the corpse inside.
There was a crackling arc and the salt crust exploded.
Boom!
The thick fog that roared over the sky and covered the sky also dispersed, leaving only a line of black smoke rolling in.
"Not dead yet!"
Li Yan suddenly turned around, and two Soul Hooking Chain roared out, entangling the black smoke in the air.
This black smoke is Yaoyui's true body.
"", this mutated evil spirit, is ever-changing and can turn into a Rakshasa charm or a fat relic, but in the final analysis, its essence remains the same.
Thick fog and swarms of insects are all its external cover.
As soon as Soul Hooking Chain came out, it was immediately trapped.
On the opposite hilltop, Wang Dao Xuan also felt that all resistance had disappeared. He turned Magic Arrow in his hand and inserted it hard into the straw man.
Then, recite the mantra and pray again.
"Ho--!"
Black Evil Omen, trapped by Li Yan, surged up and down, and emitted a shrill roar, but it became weaker and weaker, and Black Evil Omen stopped moving.
At this point, Li Yan is vaguely clear.
This should be some kind of terrible witchcraft in ancient times that merged itself with "Black Evil Omen" and finally became "Guest in the Mist".
It's not an immortality spell, it's more like a curse.
Now that the consciousness inside is dispersed by Wang Dao Xuan, "Black Evil Omen" naturally has no movement.
Li Yan originally wanted to release the thunder stored on Soul Hooking Chain, but when his heart moved, he did not rush to do it, but stood there and waited.
Above Huashan Mountain, Jingxuzi, the Supervisor of Chunyang Palace, told them that although the thing "" is a terrible and evil energy, there is good fortune between heaven and earth, and under certain circumstances, it can also be turned into a blessing.
For example, the corpse of Fei Yi is the nemesis of Gu Curse in the world.
That thing is very useful.
Let's wait until Wang Dao Xuan reads it.
Not long after, Wang Dao Xuan and others hurried over. Seeing Lu San carried by Sha LiFei, Li Yan suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart.
"Don't worry."
Wang Dao Xuan seemed to have known what he was going to say, so he shook his head and said, "The elixir prevented the internal bleeding, the injury is not serious, and you can recover after resting for a while."
He looked at Black Evil Omen again, his face full of embarrassment, "This thing is difficult to handle. Even thunder from the sky can't break it away. It's better to seal it up first and send it to Blessed Grotto-Heavens for suppression."
After that, he took out a Black Altar from his luggage, chanted the incantation, wrapped the black smoke with a yellow cloth filled with talismans, tied it into a tight knot, stuffed it into the Black Altar, attached the suppression talisman, and tied the red rope and Auspicious Coin.
After doing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
These magic weapons were purchased at Mount Wudang and are specially used to suppress Yin Soul Malevolent Qi. As long as the jar is not broken, the thing cannot escape.
After finishing his work, Wang Dao Xuan began to wander around, his eyes gradually becoming surprised, "This place can't be the ruins of the Saltwater Tribe..."
Second update in the afternoon
