Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 228 New Teammates
The master said to Xu Jiji, "Jiji, go and subdue this little red fox. Use the demon-binding technique I taught you a while ago. Be careful not to hurt it."
The master's purpose is different from that of Taoist Master Tian. He wants to ask the fox clan for help. In principle, he will not harm the monsters if he can avoid it, especially the weak cubs.
Xu Jiji nodded vigorously.
It wasn't his first time in actual combat, so he was quite calm. He walked forward, holding the sword in one hand and making hand gestures with the other.
A faint golden light emerged from the tip of the sword and slowly drifted towards the little red fox.
Taoist Master Tian was so anxious watching from the side that he wanted to take a fan and follow the golden light to fan it to make it go faster.
The golden light slowly approached the little red fox, and then tied it up like an invisible chain.
The little red fox woke up from his sleep, howled twice, and rolled over.
"Let's go there quickly now." The master ordered, and everyone ran towards the archway.
Unexpectedly, the little red fox shook its tail, and its body gradually became transparent, breaking free from the golden chain.
Jiji was shocked and thought that his physiognomy skills had failed, so he quickly attacked again, but he didn't expect the same result.
The master immediately stopped his left and right: "Oh no, this is not an ordinary fox, it's a spirit, everyone retreat!"
"Why retreat? Just fight!" Taoist Tian couldn't bear it any longer, so he waved his banner and directly split the little fox's spirit into two pieces.
The others subconsciously looked away, but found that this spirit was not an ordinary mortal body, and there was no blood and flesh flying around as they had imagined.
"Keep going," Taoist Tian commanded. "You're so restrained! Even Tripitaka's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures wasn't as merciful as you..."
Before he finished speaking, the fox spirit that was split into two on the ground suddenly shook, and its body gradually expanded and changed, and it actually split directly into two spirits that were exactly the same as the previous one!
Moreover, the two spirits were faster and had more spiritual power, and they took the initiative to attack everyone!
At the same time, a burst of heat surged from the surroundings, and a huge circular wall of fire rose from the ground, as tall as a person, forming an encirclement and blocking the way for all parties.
Everyone quickly realized that this was more than just a warning! They had attacked the spirit and triggered the trap!
Taoist Tian shouted loudly and chopped down two small spirits again. As expected, the spirits split from two to four!
"Don't cut them, they will grow back!" the master reminded loudly.
Taoist Priest Tian quickly changed his chopping to slapping, flattening the spirit like whack-a-mole, but the spirit was still there, shaking and then splitting again.
They are smaller and harder to hit, but can tear a piece of flesh off a person with one bite.
"Don't even have to pat it!" The master stamped his feet anxiously.
Taoist Priest Tian was furious: "You stinky woman just keeps nagging, why don't you help me?"
The master had no choice but to shrink his neck again: "...I was seriously injured and can't exert my spiritual power."
Taoist Master Tian looked around again. His master was standing far away. The young boy at the first level was unable to take care of himself. The girl and the white fox boy had no spiritual power, needless to say. The cat demon was standing in front of them to protect them, and he was trembling with fear.
It turns out that there is no one who can fight!
He thought he had found a group of helpers to go into the mountains with him, but he didn't expect that a group of frail old people, women and children would follow him. He was so angry!
"Old man, give me back the inner elixir and I will help you!" Chen Zhaozhi shouted with his hands like a loud speaker.
"Get out of the way!" Taoist Master Tian cursed.
Xu Chuchu was also trying hard to think of a countermeasure. To deal with this kind of spirit that can split, it is useless to use purely strong attacks. It is necessary to bring attribute attacks that are strong enough to destroy the spirit itself from the inside out, such as thunder and fire, such as the fire dragon summoned by the great master before.
But none of them had this ability.
She felt the heat growing all over her body, and looking around, she quickly warned, "Everyone, be careful! The wall of fire is shrinking!"
This circular wall of fire that suddenly appeared was not fixed in one place, but the encirclement kept shrinking.
It wasn't moving very fast, but if it continued like this, even if they could clear out all the spirits, they would still be burned to death by the circle of fire...
Suddenly, several black figures appeared from behind a huge rock not far away!
Several people screamed and ran towards Xu Chuchu and the others.
One of the shorter men yelled, "... Damn it! Why did the firewall trap us in? We didn't do anything! We just wanted to watch the show!"
"That's right. An innocent person was implicated. The ends of my hair were burnt." Another tall man stroked his long hair regretfully.
Xu Chuchu and others: "..."
Could it be that there are other people here besides them?!
I was hiding nearby watching them get beaten, but ended up getting blown out because the fire circle contracted?!
When Chen Zhaozhi saw them, his face suddenly turned pale: "You...how did you find me!"
"Who are they?" Xu Chuchu asked immediately.
"The people sent by the capital to hunt me down." Chen Zhaozhi answered with difficulty.
"That's right! We are the Five Drunken Brothers of Beijing!" several people said in unison.
"I, the eldest, am drunk and heartless!" "I, the second, am drunk with my beauty!" "I, the third, am drunk with joy!" "I, the fourth, am drunk in a dream!" "..."
After introducing themselves, the five of them stood together and struck a cool pose.
Xu Chuchu was stunned by what she saw.
The names of these five people are more poetic than each other, but they all look a little abnormal.
The eldest is arrogant, the second is coquettish, the third and fourth are sloppy, and the last one is relatively normal, but he is wearing a conical hat and a black scarf, so his appearance cannot be seen clearly.
"When are you going to stop posing? You guys can't even fit in a bucket!" Taoist Priest Tian finally managed to break free from the spirit body. "Hurry up and help us, otherwise no one will escape!"
The five drunken brothers looked at each other, nodded, and drew their weapons to join the battlefield. It was true that their goal was to take Shen Zhaozhi's head, but the prerequisite was to save their own lives first.
With the addition of five strong teammates, the situation quickly eased.
After the spirits split into the size of a palm, they no longer split, but they are still impossible to kill, and there are so many of them that they are difficult to deal with.
A few fish that had escaped the encirclement jumped out and rushed straight to Jiji's face. Xu Jiji was panicked and didn't know how to respond. His face was about to be bitten to pieces.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from the side, dispersing the group of spirits and rescuing Gigi.
Gigi turned his head and saw that the person helping him was the man with a black scarf on his face among the five drunk brothers.
"Thank you for your help!" His heart warmed. He had just thought these people were despicable, but now he just wanted to hand over Chen Zhaozhi with both hands.
The other party still didn't speak, nodded at him, and continued to join the battlefield.
Xu Chuchu, watching from the side, came up with a plan: "First, gather these spirits together, and then blow them into the wall of fire! The fire will burn the spirits and explode, which may extinguish them briefly. We can use this opportunity to escape!"
