Chapter 201: Nine Nether Crystals
Looking from a distance, in the dense forest, large trees were continuously knocked down, raising large amounts of dust and blocking the view. It's hard to see what's going on.
The ground rumbled, as if a huge hammer was beating mercilessly, and the sound came from far to near.
Xu Yang stood in front of Mu Jin, looking at the direction where the sound came from, and said seriously: "It should be a fight and chase between the ghost beasts. This time the ghost beasts look much stronger than the ones they encountered before. , maybe we can harvest a Nine Nether Crystal. We might as well hide and wait for the opportunity."
"That's a good idea." Hibiscus nodded obediently.
Just as the two were about to turn around and leave.
"Don't go, can you two good guys help me?"
"Who is it? Who is speaking there?" Hibiscus asked.
Following the sound, I saw a rustling movement in the bushes not far from the two of them.
The grass and trees were separated, and a little tiger with a pattern, only the size of a house cat, emerged from it.
Its round head like a wool ball looked behind it from time to time, with a very panicked look in its sapphire-like eyes. When he walked, he limped on his right hind leg.
"It's me." Xiaohu looked at the two of them and replied timidly.
"The talking little tiger? Is he injured?" Mu Jin's eyes lit up, the little guy opposite looked really cute.
After saying that, he wanted to step forward to check Xiaohu's injury.
As a beast tamer, Hibiscus can understand the meaning of a spirit beast just by looking at its eyes.
And in the eyes of the injured tiger, she saw real anxiety and a very sincere prayer. Therefore, I temporarily put down my vigilance.
"Wait!" Xu Yang stretched out his hand to stop Mu Jin who was about to step forward.
"The information provided by the sect before coming here shows that there should be no ordinary spirit beasts here, they are all ghost beasts. And this little tiger looks completely different from other ghost beasts, more like an intelligent and psychic spirit beast. Are you from Where are you from? What do you want us to help you with?" Xu Yang asked warily.
"I was born here, living on Youfeng Mountain in the north. I have five sisters at home. When I ran out this time, I found that strange humans had entered here to kill the ghost beasts, causing the ghost beasts to go crazy. Right now, I Being chased by a mad ghost beast."
Xiaohu said, looking at Xu Yang and blinking.
Then he said cleverly: "You are the humans who came here to kill the ghost beasts. After all, my danger is slightly related to your arrival. I ask you to help me attract the ghost beasts behind me, or kill them." Xiao Liuzi, I will thank you."
This little tiger named "Little Liuzi" is by no means an ordinary spiritual beast. It displays an IQ comparable to that of humans.
While surprised by his IQ, Xu Yang became more cautious. I vaguely felt that Youfeng Mountain mentioned in this little tiger's mouth was definitely not simple.
"You little guy is quite eloquent," said Hibiscus on the side.
"Sister, the little fairy in white, are you willing to help me? Thank you, thank you."
The little guy rolled his eyes at Xu Yang, turned his head and nodded his thanks to Mu Jin.
"What a cute little Liuzi." Mu Jin smiled happily.
"It's so cunning to know how to adapt to the wind." Xu Yang thought to himself.
At this moment, a towering tree not far away was snapped in half and fell to the ground with a roar. The dust and weeds were mixed together and lifted into the sky.
A huge and terrifying figure was vaguely visible in the flying dust.
The huge figure leaned forward, suddenly revealing a giant claw covered with scales.
Immediately afterwards, a ghost beast with a body of five or six feet tall appeared in front of Xu Yang and the two of them. The long tail swaying behind it slapped on the ground, making a thumping sound.
This ghost beast looks like a standing giant lizard, with black scales all over its body, its lower limbs as strong as iron pillars, a pair of sharp front claws half-raised, and a thick long tail trailing behind it.
What's disgusting is that there is a human face on its neck. It was a confused and somewhat sad face.
"Does this ghost beast have anything to do with humans? Or is it mutated into a human face? Or is the ghost beast wearing a human mask?"
Looking at the human face of the ghost beast, Xu Yang had doubts in his heart.
The ghost beast's human face was twisted, its eyes were round and red, staring at the little tiger on the ground, and a wisp of saliva fell from the corner of its open mouth.
Xiaohu felt the greed and bloodthirst from the ghost beast, trembled all over, and cleverly hid behind Bai Mujin.
With a "whoop" sound, the ghost beast's huge claws struck down, with great force and astonishing power.
Seeing this, Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, rolled up the fire wings behind his back, and rose into the air, with a golden light dancing out of the four magic long sticks in his hands.
"boom"!
Like the sharp claws weighing down the top of Mount Tai, Xu Yang was carried in the air with the four magic long sticks.
The ghost beast couldn't believe that this tiny human could actually block his blow.
This area of a hundred miles is its territory, and all intruders will eventually become its prey, even other ghost beasts are no exception.
So far, there has been no defeat.
Maybe as long as it fails once, it will become the food of other ghost beasts. Killing each other is the survival rule of the ghost beasts.
A furious expression suddenly appeared on its face. The ghost beast roared, its cry shook the world, its huge long tail swung back and forth, and its bones rattled.
The sharp claws pressed down harder, and Xu Yang's figure in mid-air was pressed down by it.
"What a strength."
Not daring to neglect, the fire wings behind him rolled up again, and he raised his true energy, infused his arms with the power of blood and soul, and a purple sacred mountain appeared on the long stick.
Swish!
The long stick and the claws of the ghost beast rubbed against each other and produced a large number of sparks. The downward momentum of the claws stopped abruptly.
"Leave this ghost beast to me, Xu Xiaoxian, to deal with it. You all hide behind." Xu Yang said loudly in mid-air.
Mu Jin quickly picked up Xiaohu and retreated.
The ghost beast saw Xiaohu being carried away and roared to the sky.
Three claws slapped down in a row.
Without the worry from below, Xu Yang no longer took the opponent's attack head-on. He used the fire wings to chase the wind and dodged them one by one.
The huge claws missed and slapped on the ground, splashing soil and rocks, leaving claw marks as deep as gullies.
Seeing the right time, his figure drew a fiery red arc in the air, and he swung the four-illusion long stick with both hands to sweep across the left thigh of the ghost beast.
With a "bang", it was like a heavy punch hitting a solid sandbag.
The huge body of the ghost beast shook, and a clear blood mark was left on the hit leg.
Xu Yang felt numbness in his palm and soreness in his arms.
He was secretly surprised that the power of his stick was enough to destroy a small mountain. But it could only cause some superficial injuries to the ghost beast.
The ghost beast was furious, swinging its claws and flapping its long tail like a storm. Xu Yang dodged nimbly in the air like a swift, and the ghost beast's violent attack could never touch Xu Yang's body.
And Xu Yang hit the ghost beast's neck, chest, back and other places with several sticks.
The sound of bang bang bang was endless, like a hammer hitting a solid cowhide drum.
After repeated attacks, Xu Yang had a plan in mind.
The defense of this ghost beast was extremely strong, and it seemed that only its weird human face was vulnerable.
Thinking of this, he retracted the Four Magic Long Sticks, and with a flip of his wrist, five more silver flying knives appeared.
The silver blades faintly swayed with circles of dark red ripples, hiding a vigorous and powerful force, which was definitely not an ordinary product.
These flying knives were made by the weapon master Ouyang Cheng for Xu Yang with the ten thousand year old rock marrow. They were specially used to practice the Wuxiang Qianren flying knife skills.
He silently recited the Wuxiang Qianren magic formula in his heart. With a raised hand, five flying knives drew five silver lights and shot out, aiming at the face of the ghost beast.
Seeing that the opponent was going to attack his only weakness, the face of the ghost beast showed a panic expression for the first time.
The huge long tail kept sweeping in front of him, like an airtight iron curtain.
Seeing the move, Xu Yang's consciousness moved, and the five flying knives in the air suddenly separated. The five flying knives kept spinning rapidly around the huge body of the ghost beast like meteors.
The silver trajectory formed a sharp knife net.
The ghost beast's long tail swept back and forth, and its two sharp claws kept beating, but it could only feel the fluctuations left by the flying knife in the air.
After a long time, even a powerful ghost beast would make mistakes in its movements, and it would seize the fleeting gap.
"Cut!"
The five flying knives were like snake teeth, and they were hard to defend against. They stabbed through the ghost beast's face one after another.
Five crossed blood marks appeared on the ghost beast's face.
The next moment, blood splashed at the blood marks, and the ghost beast's head exploded in pieces.
Its shaking long tail had no more strength, and it fell to the ground with its huge body.
The falling huge claws scratched unwillingly twice, using up its last strength, leaving the last trace of its life on the ground.
"Puff!"
A blazing black flame ignited on the huge corpse of the ghost beast.
Not long after, the black flame dissipated with a crackling sound.
A five-pointed red, yellow and blue demon crystal fell to the ground with a clang.
At this time, Mu Jin came out from behind, holding the little tiger named "Xiao Liuzi". Xiao Liuzi's injured leg had been bandaged by Mu Jin.
At this time, it was like a pet cat, nestling in Mu Jin's elbow, quiet and well-behaved.
"The big monster is finally dead, thank you, brother Xiaoxian." Xiao Liuzi said happily.
"This Xiaoxian keeps his word."
The two walked to the place where the demon crystal fell, and Xu Yang bent down to pick it up.
Where the palm touched, you can clearly feel the rich netherworld power on the demon crystal.
"Could it be that this world is related to the underworld? This netherworld power is much purer than the one contained in the ghost howling land of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Logically speaking, the purest netherworld power should exist in the legendary underworld." Xu Yang thought in his heart.
"It's a pity that this demon crystal only has three colors, which is far from the seven-color Nine Nether Crystal." Xu Yang said with some disappointment.
"Thank you, brother and sister, for helping me out. You need a seven-color demon crystal. I just happen to have one here."
As he spoke, Xiaohu opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of seven-color light. The seven-color light condensed, and a seven-color demon crystal appeared in front of the two.
"Nine Nether Crystal!" Xu Yang and Mu Jin said in unison.
"Even if I give you this seven-color demon crystal as a reward for helping me, I, Xiao Liuzi, will keep my word."
Xu Yang took the seven-color demon crystal and looked at it carefully.
The seven-color demon crystal contained extremely high purity netherworld power, with almost no impurities. It was indeed the Nine Nether Crystal that the two had been looking for.
