Chapter 322 Obstacles

He Ping looked deep into the mountains. In a forest with dense vegetation, there were dozens of Shanyue people dressed like hunters. They were gathered together. Surrounding them were hundreds of lynx-like creatures. of monster.

These Shanyue people should be a group of mountain people who live here. For some unknown reason, they ran into this mountain forest and were surrounded by this group of monsters. The situation was not optimistic.

He Ping took a few more glances and recognized the origin of this monster.

"This is the Jinqing cat demon. It is a relatively famous small-sized monster in southern Xinjiang. Rather than being a monster, it is better to say that it is an existence that is infected by the monster energy and transformed from a beast into a monster... However, they are very intelligent. , rather than being said to be a monster, it is closer to a kind of monster!"

There is a saying in the ancient Taoist books and archives that the demons in this world may themselves be transformed from animals and plants, from the most basic creatures. It is said that there were no immortals, no immortals, and no immortals in this world. There are no monks, not even demons.

Until one day, the poison of immortality or the way of heaven sprouts, just like the stars shining on all things in the world and nourishing all things in the world, the way of heaven will also spread the endless true essence into the world. After the heaven and earth are nourished, they will also give birth to Different vitality of heaven and earth pervades all things.

The sages of the Taoist sect have calculated that demons and demons were born during this process, because all creatures in this world originated from the ancient abyss world. Therefore, the earliest place where this world was nourished by heaven was not the surface of the earth, but the earth. The deep abyss.

The sages of the Taoist sect believe that humans, dragons, and demons all come from the abyss of the earth and belong to the five insects of the "squamous feathers and feathers". Among them, there are five insects that are the first to be nourished by the way of heaven and thus achieve transcendence. and opportunities for evolution.

The best among them are naturally the Dragon Clan that dominated the ancient times, and the Human Clan that crawled out from the depths of the abyss.

In addition to dragons and humans, the best of these races evolved into phoenix spirits that were born from fire, and black turtles that had a long life span.

The common characteristic of these five insects is that they transcend their original life span and have the opportunity to live forever. Dragons are almost immortal, phoenix spirits can be born out of fire, black turtles also have extremely long lifespans, and human monks can practice through To become an immortal and a saint...

"The ancestor of demons is generally considered to be Qilin. However, this kind of mythical beast is too rare and not many people have seen it. Demons are the 'hair' among the five insects, which means they are covered with hair and horns. The demon race also has its own Characteristics, that is, transformation and transformation. Metamorphosis is a kind of evolution. Weak monsters can also evolve and become stronger. This is the common strength in their blood. As for transformation, it belongs to all beasts and has a certain possibility. Transformed from an ordinary beast into a monster.”

This was originally the conjecture of some sages in the Taoist sect. At that time, when this conjecture emerged, it also caused great controversy in the spiritual world and even in major spiritual holy places. The early Taoist sects were still relatively old-fashioned and advocated The theory is that "the human race is an acquired creature that was gradually born after innate creation", and is relatively opposed to the theory of the five insects.

After this kind of statement became popular, the two sides started to debate each other, and the rhetoric was so fierce that some people with great supernatural powers even fought over it.

This debate lasted for hundreds of years until people discovered some monsters such as the Jinqing Cat Demon. This kind of monster was in the transition period of evolving from a monster to a demon.

Moreover, they also have some low-level wild populations that have not undergone transformation and transformation.

The appearance of the Jinqing Cat Demon has also proved to be a slap in the face to many people with great supernatural powers, forcing the Taoist sect to start to turn around. They can only admit the Five Insects theory, "Although it is absurd, it may not be unreasonable if you dig into its roots."

In modern times, even if there are people in the Taoist sect who insist on the theory of acquired souls, no one would reject the theory of the five insects.

He Ping was motionless in the air, thoughts flashing through his mind. At this level of his mind, the essence of the spirit in the Yinshen was the most proficient in calculation and deduction. In an instant, this information emerged, and he came back to his senses. In an instant, the scene below also changed.

There are many Jinqing cat monsters, and these monsters are cruel and cunning in nature. They have long been eyeing this hunting team.

This group of Yue mountain people was not large in number. During the confrontation, a few people lost their jobs, while this group of Jinqing cat demons were waiting for work. These mountain people were surrounded and would only end up being slowly consumed and killed. die.

"No, it's going to be dark soon. In such deep mountains and old forests, at night, these monsters dominate the world. We must break out now."

The leader, a man with a scarf on his head and a full beard, was determined to break through. He roared and pulled out a scimitar and slashed at him. The light of his scimitar flashed like a shooting star, and his sword skills were very fast. , as fast as lightning.

With a "swish" of the knife and a sharp sword flash, the neck of one of the rushing Jinqing cat demons was cut open, but soon more cat demons pounced on them without fear of death, thinking This man must be killed completely.

"Get away!"

The bearded man swung his sword again. His swordsmanship was really good. The light of the sword was like a crescent moon. In a flash of blood, several more cat monsters were injured, forcing other Jin Qing cat monsters to retreat.

However, the Yue mountain people behind him did not have the ability to bear such a beard. Several of the hunters who were planning to break out were jumped by the cat demon and screamed in agony.

Seeing the injured people, Luo Hu was furious.

"You damn beasts!"

In anger, the beard's sword skills became even more fierce, and a rune suddenly flashed on the seemingly ordinary scimitar. This rune was a very ancient hieroglyph, with twists and turns, belonging to the ancient witches and Nuo. Holy text.

This Umno sacred script is very ancient. According to research, it was first engraved on carapace and bone books. Later Taoist runes, such as cloud and thunder runes, bird, animal and insect seal scripts, are all related to this ancient sacred script. There are similarities.

There is a saying among the Wu Nuo sect that the Taoist sect in ancient times stole Umno's sacred texts and tampered with them before inventing the Taoist rune system of later generations.

It's not clear whether this statement is true or not, but Luo Yihu waved his scimitar, and as the bright sword light danced, countless silver lights flew through the air.

Whoosh whoosh!

About ten Jinqing cat demons were swept by the sword light in the sky, and they instantly became bloody.

"Is this a talisman?"

He Ping's expression did not change. He had already noticed that this bearded man was also a monk, but his cultivation was relatively weak. He could barely be regarded as a magician. His soul had not yet been condensed. A magician like him, if he had not learned martial arts, would be useless. Not to mention the magic power and cultivation level, they are often not as good as those of the officials and soldiers.

Luo Yi and Hu Han were angry and took action, but the effect was still there. All the hunters present immediately became energetic and took the initiative to fight.

This group of Jinqing cat demons seemed to be frustrated and kept retreating, showing their decline. According to this look, these Yue people seemed to be able to break through.

"Pity!"

He Ping could clearly see that the cat demons were very smart, and their plan from the beginning was to fight a long-term war, a war of attrition.

"Breaking out of an encirclement is not a good idea. Instead, you will fall into the cat demon's trap. Especially if you are originally occupying a higher terrain and can defend according to the danger, and force your way down the mountain, you will fall into a situation where there is no danger to defend."

He Ping shook his head, not optimistic about the situation. Next, just as he guessed, more and more hunters were injured.

"It seems that these people may not be able to hold on!"

He Ping saw this scene in his eyes. He was very clear about this situation. Among these mountain people, only Bearded was the most powerful. If he tried to break out, only this person could survive.

"The premise is that he can make a quick decision and leave behind this group of burdens. Otherwise, if the Jinqing Cat Demon sees through this, he will not escape death!"

In other words, at this critical moment, people must abandon their own conscience and regard their own survival as the first goal. If they continue to do so, even themselves will suffer.

His eyes moved to the other side. The cat demon didn't have so many worries. Flying in the air, he noticed that the leader of the Jinqing cat demon was hiding under a big tree not far away.

This cat demon leader is very smart and cunning. There are several strong cat demons around him, but he itself looks thin.

It hid behind a female cat demon and walked limpingly, giving people the appearance of an old, weak, sick and disabled member of the tribe. In fact, the leader of the cat demon was very powerful, with a faint gleam in his eyes, showing that Condensed soul power.

Like the human hunters, the cat demons also suffered casualties, but the ones who died were not the elites, but the older cat demons in the tribe who had physical defects.

The Jinqing cat demon group is very rational, or it can be said to be cruel and cruel. The cat demon leader drives the group that should be eliminated and uses them as consumption to kill this group of Yue hunters.

In this way, even if the tribe suffers some losses, it will not affect the overall situation. This is also the plan of the cat demon leader.

"This Jinqing cat demon is quite interesting!"

He Ping was delighted when he saw Hunter Xin. With a slight wave of his right hand, countless demon species fell from the air. Now that he has grown up, the eight demon species are better at changing. When he strikes, they are silent, invisible and traceless, unlike ordinary people. There's no way to prevent it.

The demon seed is like an invisible rain, and like countless invisible spores, moistening things silently, falling from the air. In a moment, everyone present, as well as the monsters, were implanted with the demon seed. In an instant, whether it is a monster or a transcendent person, all kinds of illusions appear in their hearts, and they are confused and brainwashed.

In the face of righteous people, the erosion of the demon species is not invincible. Otherwise, the Three Yuan Demon Palace would not have been destroyed. The higher the monk's cultivation level, the more skillful he is in controlling the mind. It would be better if the demon species lurked. Once activated, it will immediately touch the heart defense.

Therefore, those holy places of practice that master the righteous methods of entering the Tao have more or less means to guard against demons. There is also a type of determined monks who can also use their mental state to cultivate to resist demons.

But it's a pity that none of the people or monsters present have this ability.

"In the end what happened?"

The bearded man was in a trance, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. As soon as he regained consciousness, he felt as if he had woken up from a nightmare. He glanced around and found that both his own kind and those Jinqing cat monsters were like dead corpses. , all lying down on the ground.

"What the hell is going on?"

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the next second, his thoughts suddenly distorted, and his beard was no exception. With a pop, he fell to the ground like a zombie, fell into a drowsy sleep, and fell into the illusion woven by the devil. among.

He Ping also took this opportunity to turn into a shadow and slowly fell down. He ignored the Yue people, the natives of the Baiyue tribe. In his eyes, they were also barbarians. As a monk, he wouldn't take it seriously.

This is not discrimination or differential treatment, it is just that when one has reached his level of cultivation, his state of mind has broken away from the ordinary world. Generally speaking, after a monk enters Taoism, both his body and soul will be sublimated.

From a physical perspective, the semi-immortal body of a Taoist master is completely different from that of ordinary people. From the perspective of biological science on earth, it is a question whether the monks who have entered the Taoism are genetically considered normal humans!

He Ping came straight to the leader of the cat demon.

"Okay, okay!"

He nodded with satisfaction.

"None of the monks who have entered the Taoist realm can withstand my demonic seed. You, a monster, are very capable. You can persist to this point!"

The leader of the cat demon was also implanted with a demon seed, but he did not sink. Instead, he relied on his own thoughts to resolutely resist the invasion of the demon seed.

He Ping was also surprised by this, which also proved that this golden-eyed cat demon was indeed extraordinary, because if he were a monk, as long as he had not entered Taoism, he could only rely on his own firmness to resist the invasion of the mind by demons. , that’s just a joke.

What shocked him was that the leader of the cat demon was able to resist the invasion of the demon species with his own will.

The leader of the cat demon struggled to get up from the ground. Its body shape had changed, and its weak body became stronger. This big cat's figure had attractive curves, and its muscles and bones were all natural.

It can be seen that the sickly posture just now was a disguise. The cat demon leader also noticed He Ping's arrival. It opened its mouth and bared its fangs, clearly intimidating He Ping.

However, this threat was very weak, because after all, the leader of the Jinqing Cat Demon was deeply affected by the demon species, and his body was weak and weak, making it difficult for him to struggle to get up.

"Aren't you going to keep pretending?"

He Ping sneered, he made a magic formula, his body was in a trance, and he suddenly shot up into the sky and turned into an eagle.

This male eagle is several feet long and covered with scales. It is a powerful demon in the abyss world. This eagle demon can split tigers and leopards into pieces and feed on powerful demons. When it flies out, it will have an extremely powerful force. The strong bloody aura rose into the sky like a bloody light. These bloody auras are also mixed with the resentment of countless killed creatures, turning into boundless bloody light!

When the blood energy swept over in a mighty manner, the lonely souls wandering in the blood light kept making eerie and ghostly screams. It was extremely terrifying. The infinite blood energy was trapped in it, screaming, wailing, and sinking. .

Everything happened in the mind of the leader of the cat demon. It was also a monster with a ferocious personality, but it had never seen a big demon in the abyss world. The demon transformed into a demon and frightened the cat demon into silence. His heart was full of thoughts. Fearful and restless, as if facing a powerful enemy.

"Nie Zhan, why don't you come back to me!"

Suddenly, a man in black robe flew out of the bloody sky. This man was naturally He Ping.

As he roared loudly, the hawk demon crowed, and calmed down the bloody light in the sky, took the initiative to fly high into the sky, and stopped on He Ping's shoulder.

The cat demon leader's eyes were shocked as he looked at He Ping in black robe in the sky.

In an instant, the illusion woven by the demon species dispersed.

The leader of the cat demon shook his head, his eyes confused. After waking up, he seemed to be confused as to whether he was dreaming or in reality.

Just when it opened its eyes, it saw He Ping, and its eyes showed unconcealable shock!

"Nie Zhan, why don't you come back to me!"

He Ping smiled slightly and said the same words in his dream.
