"Close your eyes!"
Seeing something strange on the river surface, Li Yan quickly reminded him.
When everyone in the Yan Gang heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and closed their eyes.
Although they are not magicians, they have been smuggling and selling salt all year round, either in such remote waterways or traveling through uninhabited mountain roads.
Weird and strange things have been heard and seen.
When evil spirits harm people, they often confuse the five senses first.
Therefore, when encountering this situation, lowering your head and closing your eyes is the best choice to avoid falling into the trap and interfering with Li Yan's practice.
Just after Li Yan reminded me, the movement on the river became louder and louder.
The fog became thicker and thicker, and soon it was difficult to see even the bright moon in the night sky.
"Hehehehaha..."
Strange laughter came from the thick fog.
Vaguely, there seemed to be some red shadows flickering in it.
Li Yan had murderous intention in his eyes, but he ignored it and continued Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pinching Mystical Gestures and casting <North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique>.
"Eight powerful spitting poisons, four fierce horses, Tianding in advance, a commander's banner, throwing fire and thousands of horses, flying bells and eight charges, dare to try, refuse to contain the truth..."
This time, he recited the incantation very slowly.
With the blessing of Brocade Embroidery Armguard's "Thousand Thoughts" and the help of the magic altar, it is difficult to mobilize the huge Celestial Fiend Qi every word.
But the power is also obvious.
As the spell was cast, Demon Suppression Coin's fish scales rattled on Li Yan's raised left arm, and the terrifying murderous intent spread outward.
Phew~
Suddenly, there was a strong wind on the river.
Centered on Li Yan's left arm, invisible hands seemed to appear out of thin air, stirring wildly, and the thick fog receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I saw a River Corpse rising up from the river in front of me, with only half of its head exposed. Its skin was blue and purple, its hair was wet, and its eyes were blood red, staring at them.
Li Yan snorted coldly when he saw this.
Step on the Gang Step with your feet and point your finger forward.
Poof!
The head of a River Corpse suddenly exploded and black water overflowed.
But this time, it seemed to have stung a hornet's nest.
Black smoke was emitting from these River Corpse, which was the extremely rich expression of Yin Energy, and the temperature on the river also dropped rapidly.
Everyone's breath can be clearly seen.
Wow!
These River Corpse are like swimming fish, diving into the water quickly, then reappearing, forming a circle around the fleet.
The boy turns to the left and Girl turns to the right, rotating in different directions.
"Hehehehaha..."
The shrill and weird laughter sounded in everyone's ears.
Li Yan's hand techniques change, and the technique of eliminating disasters is performed.
Phew! Phew!
Every time I press my finger, River Corpse's head will be broken.
However, there was no smile on his face at all.
As soon as <North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique> came out, we should have directly confronted this fierce formation and used the power of Heavenly Gang to eliminate all these Yin Energy.
However, this formation is a bit weird.
Just like the technique of surrogate death, every time there is a River Corpse that actively withstands all the spells, making it difficult for him to succeed in one blow.
As the fleet was surrounded by River Corpse, the demonic sound filled their brains, making the people around them appear in hallucinations, and the faces of the Salt Gang men began to look abnormal.
"Yin and Yang are both empty, and the true master is below!"
Wang Dao Xuan, who is proficient in this art, saw something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "There should be a counterweight down there, so just destroy that thing!"
This time it was Li Yan who was careless.
He thought that with his current Daoist practice, coupled with Dharma Treasure and the Dharma Altar, he would be able to defeat this formation easily.
But I never thought that breaking this formation would require skill.
While luring River Corpse away, send people down to destroy the town objects.
Of course, for them, it just takes some effort.
"San Er, it's up to you!"
Li Yan pinches the secret to kill River Corpse, while whispering hello.
Lu San didn't talk nonsense, he muttered words, pinched Mystical Gestures, stretched out his palm, and slapped rhythmically on the water.
Wow!
On the river, two water splashes surged, huge fish fins loomed, and finally two black shadows came from the water behind.
It is the fish monster in the two rivers.
In rivers, lakes and seas, in uninhabited places, occasionally a big fish will accidentally develop spirituality, or it will swallow pearls to practice, or it will cause harm to a party.
These two big fish were collected along the road.
Although he is not small in size, his intelligence is average. When faced with Lu San who practices <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses>, he is easily defeated.
<Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> is the method used by ancient wizards to communicate with ghosts and gods. Naturally, these little things are not qualified, but temporary control is also very useful.
Two big fish surged at the bottom of the water, stirring up mud and sand, and then something floated to the surface.
It was a small boat, raised upside down, with runes painted in red paint on the bottom, and rotten Coffin Nail nailed to it.
There were some broken chains hanging on it.
Depending on the situation, it was supposed to be fixed underneath, but the big fish broke the chain directly, so it surfaced.
"Ah--!"
As soon as this object appeared, all the surrounding River Corpses exploded.
They screamed pitifully, immediately stopped confusing everyone, and started to float toward the ship, covered in black smoke.
Obviously, this thing is their key point.
The two big fish had just opened their spiritual intelligence, but when they were attacked by these evil things Killing Intent, they were so frightened that they suddenly disappeared.
Therefore, it is out of the control of Lu San.
Those who are under temporary control are like this and can easily get excited and run away.
But how could Li Yan miss this opportunity?
He pinched Mystical Gestures, used Divine Travel Technique, and jumped onto the water. Using his strength, he stepped on it three times, and the water exploded, and he jumped high above the boat.
Zizzi!
He made a secret with his left hand, and an electric arc suddenly jumped on his fist, making a crackling sound. When it fell, he hit it hard.
There was a loud bang.
Water splashed and boards shattered.
This small boat, which was already in decay, was directly smashed to pieces by him.
The thing exposed inside shocked Li Yan.
It was a humanoid monster, small in size, about the same size as a two or three-year-old child. It was covered in black scales, and its hands and feet had sharp claws and webbed hands and feet. It was tied tightly with Animal Hide belts, and its five senses and seven orifices were sewn up with needles and threads.
He has seen this thing before!
It was the "Water Tiger" that caused trouble at the time of Goddess Peak.
But if you look closely, there are some differences.
The "Water Tiger" that was suppressed near Goddess Peak was transformed into an immortal demon by the evil spirit. It has survived from the time of Da Yu to the present.
The one in front of me, a sharp-mouthed monkey with gills, only has Yin Qi and Corpse Qi on his body, and there are layers of carapace on his back, as if he is carrying a turtle shell.
It turns out to be only Water Monkey...
This kind of monster, Demon Hunter's book <Tales of the Mysterious and Profound>, mentioned that it first originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, and later Divine Land was found in waterways all over the country.
They have different names, including "water bug", "bug boy", "Water Sprite", "Water Monkey", and in Japan they are called kappa.
No matter what they are called, they are all the same kind of monster.
Just as River Corpse was about to surround him, lightning flashed in Li Yan's palm, and he slapped Water Monkey's head to pieces.
He didn't know what kind of magic this was.
But the corpse of Water Monkey is obviously the formation eye.
Phew~
After the corpse was destroyed, strong winds suddenly blew on the river, the water surged, and it seemed that the screams of many people gradually faded away.
After a while, everything calmed down.
Those River Corpse were no longer abnormal, they were scattered everywhere with the water flow, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Li Yan returned to the boat and said in a deep voice, "Please work hard, drag these things to the shore and burn them all. I will go into the water."
Say it, cast Profound Water Escape again, and get into the water.
Feng Lao Hai didn't waste any time and started working with his men.
Li Yan They will eventually leave, but this waterway is the main thoroughfare for their illegal salt sales and cannot be left alone.
There were no obstacles this time, and Li Yan arrived outside Dragon Daughter Temple smoothly.
Different from what was seen in the illusion, half of the Dragon Daughter Temple in front of me had collapsed, and even the Dragon Girl statue was buried in the sand.
Li Yan After a while of tossing, the bottom of the water became muddy.
If he hadn't used water to escape, he would have died of suffocation.
Finally, he groped into the mud again, suddenly grabbed a handle, pulled upwards hard, and pulled the flower basket up.
Almost instantly, he felt Innate Firm Qi.
The power contained is stronger than "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl".
This thing is indeed an artifact!
Li Yan shook off the sediment, broke out of the water, and landed on the deck.
Upon closer inspection, this object is far less dazzling than what was seen in the illusion. Instead, it is covered with patina, almost like a rag.
"Keep it carefully..."
Li Yan handed it to Wu Ba and gave serious instructions.
Wu Ba is not really stupid. He saw that this thing was very important, so he immediately took out the cowhide bag and put it carefully into his luggage.
On the surrounding shore, the people from the Yan Gang also picked up those River Corpse, piled them with dry firewood, sprinkled them with kerosene, and burned them until black smoke billowed and the stench hit their nostrils.
"Young Hero Li..."
Feng Lao Hai came over and said worriedly, "This evil thing has been broken, but Dragon Worship Sect hasn't shown up yet. Could it be that he has escaped?"
Wang Dao Xuan stroked his beard and said, "No need to worry."
"It must be very important for them to perform human sacrifices here regularly. How could they ignore it? They must have a back-up plan."
"If Pindao's guess is correct, they will be here soon. We can go ahead and ambush them."
"Okay, just follow the Daoist priest's opinion!"
Li Yan also nodded in agreement, and immediately asked everyone to find a gentle waterway, abandon the boat and go up the mountain, and stay quietly in the dense forest.
"Coming!"
Sure enough, not long after, Lu San opened his mouth to warn.
Everyone looked down the dense forest and saw a fire dragon flashing out from the bend of the mountain road in the distance. It was moving very fast. It was a group of cavalry.
Judging from the torches, at least hundreds of people came.
There are also many good players in the Salt Gang, and with the help of a few Li Yan, their confidence has greatly increased, and they all bend their bows and arrows, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Drive! Drive!"
Dragon Worship Sect's people were all dressed up as ordinary villagers, carrying bows and knives on their backs, and even half of them were carrying firearms.
There are a few people ahead, either monks or Daoists, dressed strangely. At first glance, they are the southwestern evil sorcerers hiding here.
Perhaps they were used to being arrogant, but when they were almost approaching, they still urged their horses forward without slowing down.
Lu San Yi Le, holding the spell, his chest bulging, took a deep breath, suddenly opened his mouth, and let out a sound of Tiger's Roar.
"Ho-!"
The sound of Tiger's Roar shook the mountains and rivers, and the ferocious energy overflowed.
Hu Lulu!
All the opponent's horses were immediately frightened.
Some suddenly stopped and stepped forward.
Some of them were messy in their steps and were knocked over by the horses behind them, causing them to fall over.
Some actually rolled down the narrow mountain path.
People on horses also have a hard time.
Some people with good skills jumped up, bent their bows and arrows in mid-air, and even fired directly in the direction of Lu San.
Others are unlucky.
For example, the person in front is Black-Clothed Old Woman.
Although he was an experienced warlock, his legs and feet were really weak, so he was directly thrown off by the war horse and knocked against the rocks beside the road.
His brain was splattered everywhere, and he soon lost his breath.
"Over there, watch my magic!"
One of them, a redhead, is quite popular.
He was pretty good at it. He jumped out and hid under a boulder. He shouted loudly and then pinched Mystical Gestures. He muttered something while he took off two kites from behind.
The kite is made in the shape of a bird, with crows depicted on the paper and surrounded by flame patterns.
In the middle of each kite is a bamboo tube.
"Go!"
After reciting the mantra, he threw the kite suddenly.
A Yin Wind blew out of thin air, and two kites rose into the sky, flying up and down, heading towards the dense forest where Li Yan and the others were.
Not only that, the kite also has other changes.
Phew! Phew!
As we were approaching the dense forest, the kite suddenly caught fire and fell towards the dense forest like two flaming crows.
The fire was bright and immediately pointed out the target to the Dragon Worship Sect people.
They either bent their bows and shot arrows, or fired guns.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of arrows piercing the air and the sound of muskets were continuous.
Although the people of the Salt Gang tried their best to fight back and were condescending, they had no firearms and were overwhelmed by the opponent for a while.
"Damn it!"
Sha LiFei took out Flintlock Firearm and was about to smash the fire crow in the air.
"Don't mess around!"
Li Yan quickly stopped, "That's Netherworld Fire Musket!"
The methods of this group of people were somewhat beyond his expectation.
He uses secret techniques to control the Fire Crow Kite and releases vicious hellfire. Once it is shattered, everyone below will be unlucky.
"It's Late Tang Dynasty Xuan Troops's alchemist method!"
Sha LiFei also guessed the root cause upon hearing it.
But the one who moves faster is Wang Dao Xuan next to him.
I saw the Daoist pull out Coin Sword, pull out a piece of Yellow Talisman, Bu Gang recited a mantra, and pointed his finger in the air.
Phew~
Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the sky.
The fire crow, which was about to fall, was blown back again.
"Hahaha!"
Sha LiFei is having fun, raising the gun and shooting at the same time.
There is no doubt about his marksmanship. After awakening Body Mystical Power, all five senses were strengthened at the same time, and his shooting accuracy was also improved.
Boom!
Only a loud noise was heard, and two fire crow kites exploded in the air.
The faint blue phosphorus fire fell like raindrops.
"Ah-!"
Several Dragon Worship Sect believers suffered an immediate disaster. They were burned by phosphorus fire and rolled on the ground screaming, but they could not be extinguished.
"They have New Style Firearm!"
The red-haired Daoist originally wanted to rush out, but when he saw the power of the Sha LiFei firearm, he shrank his head and did not dare to take the plunge.
No matter how high your kung fu is, there is still no way to survive if hit by this thing.
But Sha LiFei won't be idle.
The old boy rolled his eyes, took out a Fire Caltrop from the bag behind his back, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu Ba, it's up to you."
They all know the unique skills of Wu Ba and Flying Locust Stone. Fire Caltrop combined with the power of Wu Ba is also a big killer.
This is the role of the team.
They are good at each other and can work together in a variety of ways.
Phew!
As Sha LiFei ignited Fire Caltrop, Wu Ba flicked it hard and threw it directly into the crowd below like a cannonball.
Only a bang was heard, fire flickered, and rocks flew everywhere.
Most of the people below were immediately killed and injured, and they were no longer able to resist.
Such ferocious firepower made the remaining people in the Dragon Worship Sect so terrified that they turned around and ran away without caring about their companions.
"Follow them!"
Li Yan looked indifferent, Lu San raised his hand, and the falcons in the night sky followed those people into the mountains silently.
The people in the Yan Gang nearby couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They suddenly had a feeling that Shu King Residence was causing big trouble...
