Chapter 1035: Transaction Under the Night

Three updates.

The full moon is a bright lamp in the hands of the nocturnal goddess, working hard to illuminate this dark world.

In the sky under the moon, strange-shaped clouds sneaked past, their shadows accidentally blocking the moonlight, and their shadows fell on the ground like laughing faces.

Ten miles southeast of Fang City, there is an unknown woodland.

The wind pushed the leaves on the treetops without rhythm, making a rustling sound, which seemed to be telling stories about ghosts in the dark night.

A large, thick tree occupies the center of the woodland.

Other short trees were hidden a little further away, leaving a larger open space around them. On the branches of the big tree, spiders have spun silk webs, like twisted strings that play the sounds of ghosts and gods.

On the ground under the big tree, a scarecrow as tall as a person stood poking there abruptly.

The scarecrow wears a ghost mask on its face. The left side of the mask is white and the right side is black. The left side is crying and the right side is laughing. On the scarecrow's chest, there is a yellow paper charm. There were mysterious bloody symbols painted on the charm, as if the chest had been torn open.

In the distance, two figures were covered in moonlight, walking side by side towards the forest.

Without him, it was Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi who came here as promised.

"Brother Xu Yang, do you think the fat shopkeeper really has the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast in his hand?" Mai Xiaoqi asked in a low voice.

"Maybe, maybe not. But there must be a ghost in his heart. Let's just play a game of catching ghosts when we come here." Xu Yang replied.

"Oh, Xiao Qi has never played the ghost hunting game before." Mai Xiao Qi looked excited, as if he was an elf who specializes in haunting the night, with shining eyes and light steps.

Not long after, the two entered the forest.

"Ten miles southeast of Fang City, this is probably the ghost place." Xu Yang said.

Mai Xiaoqi suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he pointed in a direction.

"Brother Xu Yang, look what's under the big tree over there? It seems to be a real ghost, a ghost with a black and white face."

Xu Yang looked in the direction Mai Xiaoqi pointed.

At this moment, the ghost-masked scarecrow under the big tree seemed to see someone approaching it. A bloody aura flashed from the surface of the yellow paper charm on its chest. Its head turned slightly and looked at Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

Shockingly, a stream of dark green smoke came out from the mouth of the ghost mask on the scarecrow's head. In the smoke, the light and shadow of a palm-sized spider with a fierce appearance floated back and forth.

Frightened, Mai Xiaoqi quickly jumped back two steps. While lunging and pushing his hands, he emboldened himself and said, "I, Mai Xiaoqi, are a warrior from Luming Grassland. I am here to protect little brother Xu Yang. What the hell are you?" I'm not afraid of you."

The voice was loud, but fear was clearly written on his face.

Before he finished speaking, Mai Xiaoqi jumped behind Xu Yang, held Xu Yang's arms with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xu Yang, there really is a ghost."

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the scarecrow, thinking: "I, a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, deal with ghost techniques all day long. It is really a big joke to pretend to be a ghost in front of me. Real ghosts come from the underworld. Yes, I also want to have a drink with it.”

Xu Yang stretched out one hand, flicked his fingertips, and shot out a magical light.

The magical light accurately landed on the yellow paper charm on the chest of the scarecrow opposite, exploding into a ball of golden light. The blood symbol on the yellow paper talisman was immediately erased.

Immediately, the dark green mist dissipated, and the spider's light and shadow disappeared.

The scarecrow moved one hand and turned out a sign. With the help of the moonlight, you can clearly see the eight words written on the sign: "Ghost Night Market, Fair Trade."

"It's a scarecrow, just wearing a mask with a ghost face. It should be here." Xu Yang looked at the scarecrow, "Not even a real person dares to come out. This kind of deal is really shady."

"Pretending to be a ghost, let Xiao Qi go over and burn the scarecrow." Mai Xiao Qi said angrily with his eyes widened.

Xu Yang stretched out his hand to stop Mai Xiaoqi.

"Wait for me here, I'll go over and take a look first." Xu Yang said.

"Okay then." Mai Xiaoqi clenched a pair of small fists, stood there, and kept looking around.

Xu Yang walked to the scarecrow and took out a storage bag from his arms. He placed the storage bag at the Scarecrow's feet and opened the storage bag. A shiny white spiritual light emitted from the mouth of the bag, which was the unique brilliance of spiritual stones.

"Here are nine hundred high-grade spiritual stones, fair trade. Take out the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast and have a look." Xu Yang said loudly.

After saying that, he took two steps back.

The voice blessed with soul power rolled in the void, and the void buzzed.

After a moment, a silver spider silk fell from the canopy of the big tree. On the spider silk lay a black wolf spider as big as a fist.

The black wolf spider accurately landed on the storage bag Xu Yang placed on the ground, used its furry claws to deftly tie the mouth of the bag, and then hooked it tightly.

The black wolf spider was so strong that it quickly climbed back to the canopy carrying the storage bag. The crown of the tree is densely leafy, making it difficult to see the clues.

Xu Yang just watched and did not stop him.

"Come on, the Neptune Spirit Beast inner elixir you want is here." It was the scarecrow who made the voice.

Immediately afterwards, a small black box dragged by a spider silk fell from the crown of the big tree.

Seeing this, Xu Yang grabbed it from the air with one hand. An invisible force cut off the spider silk like a flying knife, and the small box on it flew into his palm spinning.

Xu Yang hurriedly opened the box, and a demon pill the size of a chestnut appeared. A ball of green gleaming light emitted from the surface of the demon pill, with the shadow of an eight-clawed sea beast twisting on the surface.

"It looks like a sea beast's inner elixir. I need to take it back to carefully distinguish its specific grade." Xu Yang closed the box again and put it in his arms. "If this sea beast's inner elixir reaches the level of the Sea King, our deal is done."

"Goodbye." Xu Yang was about to leave.

"Please stay." The scarecrow said.

"Anything else?" Xu Yang asked.

"There is still a deal that has not been completed."

"What deal?"

"Someone wants to buy the young master's life."

"My life is too expensive. No one in the world can afford it."

......

Suddenly, the ground shook violently and rumbled.

With the big tree as the center, a huge spider web-like rune formation appeared on the ground. The surface of the formation flashed with interlaced silver light, like the fangs of a night ghost.

Xu Yang, and even Mai Xiaoqi, who was a little further away, fell into this huge rune formation.

On the ground, clusters of soil rolled, and then yellow ghost talismans emerged, as many as thirty or forty. Looking closely, the surface of those ghost talismans was painted with a scarecrow wearing a ghost mask.

Puff puff, puff puff.

Yellow ghost talismans exploded one after another, and dozens of scarecrows wearing ghost masks appeared in the rising blood mist.

They looked similar, but the masks on their faces were surprisingly consistent, just like the scarecrow under the tree.

Xu Yang swept his consciousness and immediately made a judgment, saying in a voice transmission: "Xiao Qi, be careful, these are the soul-sacrificing puppets of the ghost

dao lineage. They are not the real bodies, and the guys behind the puppets are still hiding in the dark."

The soul-sacrificing puppet technique is originally a forbidden technique. The soul of a living person is imprisoned on a talisman or other objects with an evil secret method, and then controlled through a technique.

Because this technique is equivalent to sacrificing human life, it is listed as a forbidden technique by the righteous sect.

Mai Xiaoqi heard the words, and a green light flashed under his feet. Like a clever little deer, he jumped to Xu Yang in two jumps.

The two stood back to back, taking the best defensive posture.

Mai Xiaoqi said sternly: "Mai Xiaoqi from Luming Grassland, I'm here to catch ghosts today."

"Spider web formation, puppets lock souls." The voice of the fat shopkeeper came from the void, but it was hard to figure out where it came from.

"You two have good qualifications, just be one of my grass puppets, the immortality of the soul is eternal life."

Hehehe. The strange laughter was like a ghost.

The next moment, dozens of puppet scarecrows surrounded Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

Each of these guys held a murderous weapon in his hand, including swords, guns, sticks, and crossbows.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The sound of breaking through the air came out, and the puppet scarecrow holding the crossbow took the lead in launching an attack.

Arrows whistled in the night, and it was difficult to catch their trajectory with the eyes.

As Xu Yang's consciousness moved, the Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit in the Purple Mansion space in his body began to move.

A band of golden flying fire drilled out from Xu Yang's body.

The golden flying fire twisted its body and turned into a three-legged golden crow in an instant, spinning rapidly around Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi's bodies.

At the same time, Xu Yang quickly pinched the magic formula with both hands.

"Secret method - Flame Spirit Shield!"

In an instant, a golden flowing fire shield protected Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi like an inverted bowl. On the surface of the shield, a three-legged golden crow spit out the fire of the sun, and Sanskrit characters were neatly scattered.

The feather arrows that flew over drilled into the surface of the golden fire shield with a bang, and were immediately blocked and burned by the powerful power of the flame spirit.

Even if the tip of the arrow was made of fine iron, it turned red and soft under the burning of the flame spirit power, and its attack power was completely lost, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

From a distance, the arrows shot from the surroundings splashed circles of light on the surface of the golden flowing fire shield. But it can't hurt Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi in the least.

Xu Yang has the Yuan Mo Sealing Vein Curse planted by the purple-robed man not long ago. The Buddha's Spiritual Vein, Daoguo Spiritual Vein, and Heavenly Ghost Spiritual Vein in his body are sealed and closed, and only the Haoran Heavenly Vein is barely half left. And the Golden Light Heart State that he originally cultivated has also been blessed with the magic pattern chain and cannot be used.

Although Xu Yang's current cultivation is still at the peak of the Demonic Rotation Realm, he can only exert 30% of the original state.

The purple-robed man planted the seal, but it did not affect the three-color magic vortex in Xu Yang's body. His purpose is to force Xu Yang to use only the power of the magic vortex in his body when he bursts out the maximum combat power.

And with the continuous use of the power of the magic vortex, Xu Yang's body will become more and more demonized, and the Yuan Mo royal family bloodline in his body will become more and more compatible with his body. If Xu Yang breaks through his body to the Yuan Soul Realm, the Yuanying in his body must be a demonic Yuanying, and then Xu Yang will have to embark on the path of magic cultivation.

As for Xu Yang's true combat performance, no one knows, even he himself has not accurately judged it. No one knows the upper limit of the power contained in the three gates of the other world in the three-color magic vortex.

At present, Xu Yang will try not to use the power of the three-color magic vortex when fighting with the enemy. This is his trump card. Once used, only God knows the result.

......

The feather arrow attack was fruitless, and those straw puppets holding swords swarmed up.
