Chapter 041: Entering the forest alone, Foguang suppresses evil spirits
After the great cataclysm, humans built hundreds of meters high walls to keep out the ferocious beasts, but they also lost their ambition to forge ahead.
Every generation is taught from an early age that the outside world is dangerous and they must never cross the city wall.
The vast majority of people in the city can only live behind high walls all their lives, and all they can see is a small patch of sky above the city.
People miss the days before the catastrophe, when everyone could go to different cities, different countries, and anywhere they wanted to go on the planet.
But now, countless people are trapped in small cities, living in fear and struggling.
And at this time.
But Li Xiang walked alone through the city wall and walked into the vast jungle.
The tall and dense branches and leaves of the trees block the sunlight. As soon as you enter the jungle, the surrounding light suddenly dims.
Even the temperature has dropped a lot.
It was clearly midsummer now, and while walking in the dense jungle, Li Xiang felt waves of chill.
Not long after entering the jungle, there was a rustling sound all around, as if there were countless sneaky people peeping.
After walking forward for a while, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the shadows behind the bushes.
The vertical pupils were long and narrow, glowing with a cold green light.
Then, the second pair, the third pair...hundreds of pairs of green eyes appeared.
There were eyes in all directions, and Li Xiang seemed to be in a sea of eyes.
Anyone who sees this scene will break out in a cold sweat.
However, Li Xiang's expression did not change, and he did not even slow down his pace.
As he moved forward, those vertical pupils hidden in the darkness parted like a tide.
There was another rustling and creepy sound in the air.
Suddenly, a gray shadow jumped out and ran past Li Xiang.
With the faint light, Li Xiang saw that it was a mouse, with a body as big as a calf. It seemed to be running for its life, panicking and escaping into the darkness next to it in an instant.
Over there, there are dozens of pairs of eyes with vertical pupils.
next moment.
A wailing cry of "ji".
In the darkness, something exploded.
Dark red blood spattered out, splashed on the leaves and grass, and dripped downwards.
The fishy smell of blood spread instantly.
Li Xiang kept walking.
The owners of those vertical pupils seemed to feel slighted, and waves of anger and cruel killing intent pressed down on the intruder as if they were real.
"Hiss, hiss"
In the air, there was a dense sound that made people's scalp numb.
The compassionate look on Li Xiang's face gradually disappeared, and he turned to look at each other angrily, and softly shouted: "Noisy!"
next moment.
The Buddha's light suddenly lit up around Li Xiang's body, and his whole body was like a fire, illuminating the darkness around him.
Behind those vertical pupils are large and small triangular heads.
snake.
Thousands of snakes.
Red, green, black, yellow, all kinds of colors, the small ones are only as thick as chopsticks, but the big ones need seven or eight adults to hug them.
These countless snakes are either coiled in trees, crawling on the ground, or intertwined so densely that it makes one's scalp numb.
"They are all evil spirits."
Li Xiang clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. The endless fire of karma was born in his body and spread in all directions.
Wherever the karmic fire passed, those snakes, no matter how big or small, began to burn.
All of a sudden, countless flaming snakes fled around, igniting the rest of the same kind. These same kind began to flee again, igniting more of the same kind.
Like a chain reaction.
In a matter of seconds, thousands of snakes were all burned by the fire of karma.
A python more than ten meters long was coiled around a tree and burned to ashes, but the tree beneath it was intact.
The fire of karma only burns evil spirits and monsters.
In the blink of an eye, the ashes of countless snakes fell onto the ground, forming a thick layer.
Li Xiang walked among the ashes of the snake corpse, and neither his feet nor his white monk clothes were contaminated at all.
When he passed by a huge tree.
On the mottled tree bark, a human face slowly emerged, with erect pupils and sharp teeth, looking resentfully at the intruder walking below.
Its body changes colors and almost blends into the whole tree. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
The snake demon moved silently, its upper body falling from the branch, its mouth opening wider and wider, almost cracking to the base of its ears, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
However, the next moment, the word "swastika" suddenly appeared between the eyebrows with a human face and a snake body.
Among the characters "卐", smaller "卐" characters emerged one after another. They were connected back and forth and spread along the snake body. In just a moment, they entangled the snake demon.
Before the snake demon could react, the swastika chain suddenly shrank, cutting the entire snake body into dozens of pieces.
Bang bang bang.
The snake's body fell into pieces and fell to the ground. The human-faced snake head, Gululu, rolled behind Li Xiang. Just before death, he still opened his mouth and wanted to bite the intruder.
[To save the second-level and eighth-level snake demon, 80,000 points of merit]
A line of words appeared in Li Xiang's mind again.
He kept moving forward without stopping.
Wherever it passes, the fire of karma burns, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
[To save second-level and third-level blood leeches, 30,000 points of merit]
[To save the second-level and sixth-level gold-swallowing beast, 60,000 points of merit]
【Exceed...】
This was Li Xiang's first time outside the city. In order to get a reward, he deliberately restrained his breath.
But gradually, the ferocious beasts along the way also got the news and stopped coming to cause trouble. They stayed far away before Li Xiang, the killer, came over.
[The merit value has reached one million points, should I exchange it for compatibility? 】
【whether】
Accumulating merit is a way to become a Buddha, and it does not have power in itself. Li Xiang thought for a moment and focused on the word "Yes".
[Exchange completed]
[The current compatibility is 56%, unlocking "Vajra Subduing Demonic Pestle"]
Li Xiang felt something strange in his hand. He looked down and saw the majestic Buddha's light gathering in his palm, slowly condensing into a vajra demon-conquering pestle.
Li Xiang held the magic pestle in his hand and walked forward slowly.
Ding ding ding~
The bronze rings on the demon pestle hit each other, making crisp sounds.
The sound was not loud, but its penetrating power was extremely strong. It shook the surrounding air, distorting it, as if creating circles of ripples, spreading in all directions.
Wherever the sound passed, countless ferocious beasts exploded and died.
But it is a pity that none of the ferocious beasts that were killed by the demon-subduing pestle ring sound reached the second level, and they did not bring any reward to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked ahead. In the dense forest, beams of sunlight were slanting down, and the shadows of the trees were mottled.
"It's getting late."
With this thought in mind, Li Xiang used his tantric magical power and took a step forward. When he landed again, he was already hundreds of meters away.
And when Li Xiang was walking in the direction of the third-order demon king.
More than a dozen shadows were also moving through the dense forest at high speeds.
The man at the head was in his thirties, with a pair of peach blossom eyes under his slanted bangs.
"Commissioner Ye, your magical talisman is really easy to use. Our speed is actually a few points faster than flying with a sword."
While sighing, Luo Heng looked at the two talismans attached to his legs and said with a shy face, "If I can go back alive this time, can Commissioner Ye sell some to us?"
Several companions around him also looked at Ye Chen warmly.
Talisman masters are extremely rare among Qi refiners, so every piece of talisman paper is extremely precious and often has a price but no market.
Ye Chen said calmly: "It's just a matter of business. We are all Tongzhou people. After this mission, I will return to Tongzhou Mansion and ask the Equipment Department to send a box over."
"real?"
"That's a good feeling!"
"Commissioner Ye is so grand!"
Everyone accompanying him started to flatter him one after another.
Even though these people are all second-level Qigong practitioners who hold important positions in the Yangcheng army, they don’t have much to ask for in this three-acre area of Yangcheng. If they weren’t unable to leave their homeland and wanted to protect their relatives and friends in Yangcheng, they would have done so long ago.
So I went to Tongzhou Prefecture or Kyoto City to make a living.
Facing the adulation from everyone, Ye Chen just smiled faintly, looked forward, and murmured to himself: "I don't know where that kid is. This third-level demon king is not something you can easily deal with alone."
