Everything I just saw was indeed an illusion of magic.
The purpose is to prevent yourself from spreading the beans into soldiers!
Xu Chong looked around and looked at the Qiankun bag, and found that out of a thousand mung beans, there were only less than two hundred left.
But tonight's battle was indeed brutal.
In order to kill the more than fifty fox monsters in front of him, he had to fight off more than six hundred "axemen".
The remaining more than a hundred axemen formed an airtight defensive circle, firmly protecting Xu Chong.
Sudden,
At this moment.
Halfway up the slope on the opposite side of the valley, at the top of a big tree where two people were hugging each other, a giant white fox the size of a wolfdog slowly walked out.
The white fox was covered in blood and his eyes were full of hatred.
Xu Chong discovered its existence instantly.
Since the distance between the two sides was nearly 100 meters, and the monster could climb trees, it was impossible to kill it even if you wanted to. Judging from the miserable condition of its body covered in blood, it was estimated that it was seriously injured and was probably preparing to run away.
No need to think about it, this giant white fox must be the old man Bai Gong in the mouth of these little foxes, the old fox with the deepest moral principles.
The white fox stared at Xu Chong coldly, and suddenly uttered a high-pitched old voice, "Who are you? You came here to break my magic circle, damage my cultivation, and slaughter my descendants?"
Xu Chong said proudly: "I am the Ziyun Temple in Wufeng Mountain, and I am the Great Immortal Spreading Beans! This time I came down from the mountain under the orders of my master, specifically to eliminate harm for the people and do justice for heaven!"
After hearing this, the white fox gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are an immortal, why don't you have any immortal energy in your body?"
"Fairy energy?"
Xu Chong said calmly: "How do you know I don't have it? Why don't you come over now and I'll let you smell it?"
The white fox looked at him hard, his eyes full of hatred.
"Wufeng Mountain, Ziyun Temple, I remember it!"
After saying that, the old fox turned around suddenly, and with a few whooshes, he limped into the dark and dense mountain forest and disappeared in an instant.
"Immortal, have mercy on me, Immortal, please have mercy on me..."
Xu Chong turned around and saw several woodcutters pushing two people in front of him.
A closer look revealed that it was the two poor scholars who had lured him to the fox den tonight.
Looking at them with cold eyes, the two scholars knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, and kept begging for mercy.
"Immortal, have mercy on us, we are also under coercion by the fox demon and we can't help ourselves..."
While begging for mercy, I saw black mist floating out from the bodies of the two scholars. Then, the skin and flesh on their bodies peeled off piece by piece. After a while, they turned into two withered bones and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chong frowned and thought to himself, he had only heard of being a puppet of a tiger before, but he never expected that these two damn scholars were actually the puppets of the fox demon.
There are many bones and corpses piled up on this ancient tomb. It seems that this group of fox monsters has been causing trouble in this area for many years and has probably caused many innocent people's lives.
Getting rid of them today can be regarded as a good deed.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong's heart moved. He hurriedly sneaked into his mind silently and checked the fairy book panel. Did any merit increase just now?
[High-grade Immortal Skill: Throwing Beans into Soldiers]
Level: Second level
Motto: change, accept
Conditions for promotion: 50 points of merit must be accumulated
Current merit: thirty-eight points
Recognizing the Master Immortal Weapon: Qiankun Bag
Maximum quantity: one thousand (replenished every twelve hours)
The fairy book warns: Those who hope to have such a great opportunity should subjugate demons and eliminate demons, punish evil and eliminate evil, do more good deeds to accumulate virtue, and never do evil that harms heaven and justice, and is indignant to both humans and gods...
On the fairy book panel, the information has indeed changed.
Originally there were only two points of merit left, but now it has become thirty-eight points.
Apparently, he had just killed dozens of little foxes, broken the old fox's magic circle, and gained thirty-six points of merit.
At present, there are still twelve points of merit before being promoted to the third level.
Although tonight is dangerous, the rewards are good.
The only regret was that the old fox who had done the most evil and had the strongest cultivation ability escaped.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong sighed secretly.
My current strength is still not strong enough.
The combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the transformed axemen are still very average.
If these mung bean soldiers were stronger, it is estimated that the old fox would not be able to escape under the siege of the human sea tactics.
You must work hard to upgrade.
If they had just been a group of regular soldiers equipped with bows and crossbows, they could definitely kill these fox monsters.
Thinking of the old white fox that escaped, it was the size of a wolfdog.
If you kill it, how much merit will you gain?
Xu Chong counted the woodcutters around him and found that there were more than one hundred and thirty.
They had just brandished their axes and chased down those fox demons crazily. They knew no fear and were not afraid of death. Although their strength was a little inferior, they were very brave.
The only flaw is that he has a single mind and doesn't know how to adapt.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong looked at the woodcutter and asked: "When that old fox escaped just now, why didn't you throw an ax to chase it?"
Hearing this, the woodcutter were stunned for a moment, and then more than a hundred woodcutter replied in unison:
"How can we chop wood without an axe?"
Chopping wood?
I transformed you into chopping people, not woodchopping!
Besides, you are all transformed from mung beans, what do you need to chop wood for?
Is it used to cook soy milk or steam mung bean cake?
Xu Chong's head was full of black lines. He found that he could not communicate normally with these guys.
I looked up at the sky, it was pitch black.
I estimate the time, it should be around ten o'clock in the evening.
We had to find a place to spend the night, but there were bones everywhere, and it looked horrifying.
Thinking back to the ruined temple when I first came here, it seemed that it was not that far away, only an hour's journey away.
Why don't we go back to the dilapidated temple and spend the night? I vaguely feel that the dilapidated temple has the blessing of gods, and it is safer than sleeping in the wild mountains.
Thinking of this, Xu Chong immediately ordered the four woodcutter: "Carry me on the road!"
Soon, four woodcutters found a cane chair, then carried the Bean Spreader and left the place, wandering towards the ridge from where they came.
Now with more than a hundred woodcutter guards, Xu Chong doesn't have to worry about safety issues at all.
These woodcutters can even kill fox demons, so why are they afraid of a few thieves?
………………
Return to the ruined temple on the top of the mountain and rekindle the fire.
Xu Chong sat next to the warm fire and felt a lot warmer all of a sudden, but his stomach kept growling with hunger.
"I must get out of this barren mountain as soon as possible, find a job that can accumulate virtue and do good, and solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation as soon as possible."
"If I continue like this, I'm not going to be a great fairy. I'm afraid I'll starve to death in the barren mountains."
"In addition to fighting more fiercely than farmers, these woodcutters are not as good as farmers in other aspects. Let them go hunting to find some food, but they all come back empty-handed. Their minds are too rigid and they don't know how to adapt..."
Xu Chong sat next to the fire, drinking a few mouthfuls of cold water from time to time to relieve the hunger in his stomach.
Before I knew it, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly, more than a hundred woodcutters guarding inside and outside the ruined temple disappeared one after another.
Seeing this scene, his expression changed and he instantly understood what was going on.
Obviously, the "soldiers" transformed from mung beans cannot exist forever.
After a certain period of time, no matter whether it is seriously injured or not, it will disappear.
Calculating the time, they should have been there for four hours.
In other words, the effective time for spreading the beans into an army is about four hours.
After clarifying this rule, Xu Chong felt much more at ease.
I lowered my head and looked at the Qiankun bag. There were not many mung beans left in it. There were only less than two hundred left. I had to spread them sparingly.
To replenish the mung beans twelve hours later, you have to wait at least until the evening of the next day.
After all the calculations, there are still eight hours left before it can be fully replenished, which is still very early.
Thinking of this, he took out four mung beans and sprinkled them on the ground.
Four woodcutters with axes appeared out of thin air again.
Xu Chong told them: "Stay by my side while I rest for a while."
The four woodcutters nodded with dull expressions, and then sat around Xu Chong.
It's still very cold at night in the mountains and fields.
Especially at one or two o'clock in the morning, it is even more chilly.
Fortunately, there was a fire. Otherwise, who would have suffered in this ruined temple with drafts everywhere?
With four woodcutters keeping watch, Xu Chong could take a nap in peace of mind.
Sudden,
In the confusion, there was a faint sound of rapid footsteps in the woods outside the ruined temple, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Xu Chong immediately regained consciousness and took out a handful of mung beans with a wary expression, ready to throw them at any time.
