Chapter 1374 Ghostly Demon Pill
At first, everything went smoothly.
On the side of the South Vietnam Army, apart from the scholar and the Red Spirit King, there were as many as twelve Yuanying ancestors and transformed monsters - nine humans and three monsters!
The enemy's seventh-level transformed monsters were about ten.
With more people defeating fewer, the South Vietnam Army took the initiative...
Seeing that the lost land was recovered, seeing that a great victory was won.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
The South Vietnam Army was in the north, and the monster army was in the south.
The battle line that the two sides had fought for before was a straight line from west to east.
After regaining the lost land a few days ago, the South Vietnam Army was in high spirits and went south all the way to pursue the victory.
But unexpectedly, when they crossed the battle line a hundred miles away, two large monster armies suddenly appeared on the east and west sides - the leaders were three transformed monsters.
In this way, the total number of transformed monsters in the monster army reached sixteen!
Not only were Bai Yuxi and the others entangled by the seventh-level transformed monsters, but even the scholar had to face the siege of three transformed monsters alone.
The situation of the Red Spirit King was similar to that of the scholar!
For a time, the high-level monks of the South Vietnam Army could not escape.
Taking this opportunity, the monster army launched a crazy counterattack...
Because the South Vietnam Army had penetrated deep into the area, they were in the place where the two sides had fought before, and inevitably there were a large number of monster corpses.
Without any signs, these monster corpses exploded!
What was even more amazing was the power generated by the explosion - the corpses of the fourth-level monsters, the power generated by the explosion was equivalent to the fifth-level thunder beads!
Although most of the monster corpses left at the scene were fourth-level and fifth-level, there were also many sixth-level monster corpses mixed in.
At this moment, it was as if countless fifth to seventh-level lightning beads were blooming everywhere inside the South Vietnamese Army...
How could the South Vietnamese monks have expected that these dead monster corpses would hide such a dangerous trap?
This round of violence made the South Vietnamese Army unstable.
Coupled with the impact of the monster armies on the east and west fronts, and the delay of high-level monks being restrained and unable to command, the entire South Vietnamese Army fell into a passive situation.
If the scholar had not summoned up his remaining courage and relied on the tyranny of Binghuo Liancheng to suppress the three transformed monsters in one fell swoop, clean up the mess, and retreat while fighting, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
Even so, there were incidents such as Fu Qingqiong and others being trapped...
After listening to the scholar's description, Xiao Mian was almost certain: This is a trap!
Otherwise, how could those monster corpses become corpse-exploding lightning beads?
First, take advantage of the South Vietnamese army's eagerness to recover lost territory, lure the South Vietnamese army deep into Fudi, then encircle the South Vietnamese army from the east and west, and then use the corpses of monsters as thunder beads to disrupt the South Vietnamese army's position, and then, it is a one-sided violent suppression.
In this process, people with amazing combat power such as Jingchu must be at the forefront. Once a backlash occurs, they are also the most likely to be surrounded.
If the monster army successfully kills these elites, even if the South Vietnamese army finally wipes out the three temples of the East China Sea, it will be more than the gain...
But if Jingchu and others don't go into battle to kill the enemy, ordinary cultivators can't resist the charge of the monster army at all. If it's not good, it will be a complete defeat!
Now, the scholar and the South Vietnamese army are in such a dilemma.
Seeing the scholar looking at him with a frown, Xiao Mian couldn't bear it.
The scholar has done his best for Xiao Mian and the Bibotan lineage.
Moreover, this East China Sea War concerns the Three Temples of the East China Sea and the entire cultivation world, so Xiao Mian cannot stay out of it!
"Master Shang! Order people to search the battlefield to see if there are any monster corpses that have exploded - if there are, be sure to bring them back!"
"Monster corpses, you want to..."
"If we can't crack the secret of the other monster corpse's self-explosion, the South Vietnamese Army will be tied up in the battle with the other side - we can't always be on tenterhooks, right?"
The scholar heard this and thought it was right!
The power generated by the explosion of the monster corpse is one level higher than the grade of the monster itself.
Take a Jindan top-level cultivator as an example. He finally killed a sixth-level monster. Before he could be happy for a while, the monster corpse exploded, shaped like a seventh-level thunder bead.
If he is not careful, this Jindan top-level cultivator will die from the monster's self-explosion!
If he doesn't kill the other party, he may be killed by the other party!
If he kills the other party, he may be blown to death by the other party!
In this situation, how can the South Vietnamese monks have any morale?
The most urgent task is to solve the secret of the monster's self-destruction, as Xiao Mian said!
Otherwise, it will be like a nightmare, shrouding the South Vietnamese army...
Soon, Kong Yuanren personally found a monster that did not self-destruct.
In front of the scholar and Kong Yuanren, Xiao Mian did not hesitate to summon the ghost head.
After listening to Xiao Mian's explanation, the ghost head carefully explored the corpse of the monster, and finally took the Bodhi Yinchen Sword and dissected the corpse of the monster!
Finally, a black monster pill appeared in front of everyone.
The monster pill is similar to the golden pill of human monks.
Although there are some differences due to the different bloodlines of the monster clan, most of them are light gold or golden yellow. Such black must be strange.
"These demon pills are not born naturally!" Before Xiao Miandong asked, Guitou had already explained: "This is the forbidden secret technique of the ghost way - the ghost spirit demon pill!"
By peeling off the demon cultivator's demon pill alive and continuously refining it using the ghost way method, it can form a ghost spirit demon pill that is three times more powerful than a simple self-destruct demon pill.
The Ghost Spirit Demon Pill was originally used as a thunder bead.
However, the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea took a different approach. After picking the demon pill, they could ensure that the demon cultivator would not die. After refining the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill, they put it back into the demon cultivator's body.
In this way, not only will the demon cultivator's strength increase sharply, but after death, the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill will automatically activate and turn into dark thunder, catching the enemy off guard.
"May I ask the old ghost: how to dissolve this Ghost Spirit Demon Pill?"
"You kid, watch carefully..."
As he spoke, the ghost head used the Bodhi Yinchen Sword to pierce the demon pill little by little.
In theory, the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill is also a thunder bead. Once stimulated by external force, it will explode with a bang - but this Ghost Spirit Demon Pill, I don't know if it is ineffective or there is another mystery. Even though the Bodhi Yinchen Sword pierced through my heart, it did not explode.
Seeing that the originally black ghost demon pill gradually disappeared, and faintly, it also revealed some light golden light, Xiao Mian was blessed.
It was not that the ghost demon pill had a problem, but——the Bodhi gloomy sword!
Outsiders did not know the origin of the Bodhi gloomy sword, but Xiao Mian knew it.
This sword was carved from a piece of Bodhi sacred wood. Although that piece of Bodhi sacred wood was not a simple Bodhi sacred wood, it was undoubtedly a Buddhist sacred tree.
Could it be that the Buddhist skills could restrain the ghost demon pill?
With a thought, Xiao Mian asked the scholar to invite Master Miefeng.
This Master Miefeng was also Huo Fenger's master...
There were no nuns in Tianlong Temple in Nanyue Prefecture.
Master Miefeng was born in Cihang Jingzhai in Xishu Prefecture. She traveled all over the ten cloud deserts in Xishu Prefecture and could not find her own Buddhist teachings. That's why she traveled thousands of miles to Nanyue.
When she arrived at Tianlong Temple, Master Miefeng settled down and lived there for a hundred years.
This time, the Nanyuezhou army marched forward. As one of the three religions in Wanzong City, Tianlong Temple naturally could not fail to send the Yuanying ancestor to fight.
However, Venerable Jianglong broke through to the realm of Yuanying high-level great cultivator. If he went out, Venerable Jianglong and the scholar would be on par with each other.
Venerable Jianglong did not have the heart to compete, but it was hard to guarantee that someone with ulterior motives would not stir up trouble.
Besides, if the scholar left, Wanzong City also needed someone to sit in charge...
Venerable Fuhu had to take care of the daily affairs of Tianlong Temple and could not get away.
Besides, this Master Miefeng was famous for hating evil.
After hearing about this, she recommended herself and came uninvited.
When she entered the inner hall, she saw the ghost head and Master Miefeng looked unhappy.
After listening to the explanation of the scholar, Master Miefeng began to observe the ghost spirit pill.
"Yes! It is definitely the Ghost Spirit Pill!" Glancing at Guitou coldly, Nun Miefeng said coldly: "My Buddhist skills can indeed restrain the ghost skills, but this Ghost Spirit Pill is extremely ghostly, and I don't know how to restrain it!"
"Tsk! After all this time, it turns out to be a half-baked one..."
When has Guitou ever been treated so coldly by Nun Miefeng?
Without waiting for Nun Miefeng to fight back, Xiao Mian stepped forward and cut off the sight of the two.
"Two seniors! This matter is serious, please put the overall situation first!" While speaking, Xiao Mian took out the Mani Pearl in front of Nun Miefeng and contacted the little monk: "Little monk! Let me ask you: Do you know how to crack the Ghost Spirit Pill?"
"Ghost Spirit Pill?"
The voice of the little monk appeared in the inner hall, making Nun Miefeng dare not be rude.
At that moment, Xiao Mian told everything about the Ghost Spirit Pill.
"Wait a moment! I'll find Mr. Xu and then we'll discuss it..."
The little monk's voice disappeared, and he obviously went to find the ghost saint Xu Wan.
For a moment, the inner hall was silent.
The scholar and Master Miefeng looked at Xiao Mian in shock.
On the contrary, Kong Yuanren was no longer surprised by Xiao Mian's all-powerful hands and eyes.
Soon, another voice came from the Mani Pearl.
The Lord of the Netherworld Ghost Realm - Ghost Saint Xu Wan!
"The Ghost Spirit Demon Pill, although it is called a demon pill, is my ghost method. As the master of the Netherworld, I should not undermine my own foundation. However, the Three Gods Temples of the East Sea are so vicious that they actually use such a sinister method as the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill. If they are not wiped out this time, they will eventually become a big cancer in the cultivation world! For this reason, I will make the method to crack the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill public even if I am cursed by future ghost cultivators!"
"Senior Ghost Saint is righteous, and I, on behalf of my fellow practitioners, thank you in advance!"
"Boy! Listen carefully..."
At that moment, the Ghost Saint explained the principle and method of cracking the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill to Xiao Mian.
The Ghost Spirit Demon Pill is to turn the demon pill into dead air.
In other words, the spiritual energy in the demon pill will be transformed into the air of death.
The damage caused by the explosion of the air of death to living things cannot be underestimated.
To crack the Ghost Spirit Demon Pill, you need to start by disintegrating the air of death.
For example - the water of immortality!
If a cultivator has the water of immortality, he can resist the harm of the ghost demon pill.
Ghost Saint Xu Wan's words came to an end, and the little monk took over.
"Just now, I discussed with Mr. Xu. Considering that these demon cultivators who have been refined by the ghost demon pill are helpless and entangled with resentment before death, this will also enhance the power of the ghost demon pill. My Buddhist sect has the Hell Breaking Curse, which can open the door to rebirth and let the souls of these demon cultivators re-enter the reincarnation. In this way, it can also be considered a merit! If you can soak the Hell Breaking Curse with the water of immortality, you can completely eliminate the harm of the ghost demon pill!"
"Little monk! Ghost Saint Senior! With Master Miefeng here, it's easy to break the Hell Curse, but my South Vietnam Army has at least thousands of people, and this water of immortality..."
Each person has a portion of immortal water, even Xiao Mian can't supply it!
"If there is no immortal water, it is barely enough to use the immortal wood to engrave the hell-breaking spell, but the immortal wood can only be used once, which is quite wasteful."
"This... Thank you two seniors for clearing up my doubts! I wonder how the war situation in the east is?"
"... I won't hide it from you, the situation is not good!"
The little monk who always holds the pearls in his hand has a little fatigue in his voice.
Obviously, the war situation in the east is indeed not good...
According to the little monk, the sea area where he and Xiao Mian destroyed the disgusting beast has long been turned into a sea ghost area!
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, various sizes of Yin and Yang Tongdao appeared.
The small ones are no more than a hair, which can be ignored.
The larger ones are as thick as an adult's waist, which is not a big deal.
The larger ones are several miles in radius, and a large amount of Yin Qi gushes out from the Yin and Yang Tongdao, constantly colliding with the Yang Qi on the sea surface and devouring each other...
From time to time, various ghosts and beasts will emerge.
Thanks to the equal reputation of Buddhism and the Ghost Dao in Xishu Province, the two sides joined forces to curb the breakout of those ghost beasts and monsters, so that they could not invade other areas of the East China Sea.
Now, the Xishu Army is trying to eliminate those Yin-Yang channels.
From small to large, from outside to inside, although there is no end in sight, everything is finally going well.
What really worries the little monk and the ghost saint is the Nine Nether Emperor Xia Jiuyou!
Once Xia Jiuyou appears, everything will be turned upside down!
Cutting off the connection with the little monk, Xiao Mian put away the Mani Pearl.
It seems that Xishu Province is also walking on thin ice and can hardly protect itself...
I just don't know: Is the situation the same in Dongwu Province and Beiwei Province?
After calming down, Xiao Mian asked Master Miefeng for the method of breaking the hell curse.
This time, Master Miefeng did not make it difficult again.
But whether it is the wood of longevity or the water of longevity, it is not easy to get.
In front of everyone, Xiao Mian took out the Beidou Si Nan Pan again.
This time, Xiao Mian contacted the leader of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, Shancai Tongzun!
After some communication, Shancai Tongzun agreed to transfer a large amount of immortal wood from Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to the front line as soon as possible, waiting for the monks of Nanyue to go to meet.
As for the heaven-defying thing like immortal water, Shancai Tongzun was also helpless...
With the immortal wood, the urgent need was finally solved.
However, although Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce brought a large amount of supplies for emergency use on this expedition, this immortal wood was not prepared by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
The immortal wood must be transported from Tianxia City, Chu County, Zhongzhou...
Conservatively estimated, it will take a year and a half.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other: How can we fight this war?
