Chapter 170 The Strangeness of the Magic Crystal
As soon as Gu Shihan finished speaking, she heard a sound of fighting in the distance. She and Xing Bai looked at each other and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
After arriving at the scene, they found that several monks were besieging a monk who was suspected to be demonized.
The besieged man had bloodshot and fierce eyes, and a faint black aura emanated from his body. He only knew how to hack and kill frantically, and from time to time, he made a "ho ho" sound from his mouth.
Gu Shihan shouted: "Everyone stop first, maybe he can still be saved!"
While everyone was hesitating, Gu Shihan used his spiritual power to try to dispel the evil spirit from the man.
However, the demonic nature was stubborn and several attacks failed, so they could only give him a top-grade demon-clearing pill.
At this moment, Xingbai suddenly sniffed the air, turned around and ran in one direction.
Gu Shihan understood and followed closely. Not long after, they saw a cave with a faint black mist lingering at the entrance.
Gu Shihan cautiously approached the cave entrance and explored inside, and unexpectedly discovered a huge magic crystal inside, with the surrounding demonic energy continuously emanating from the magic crystal.
She realized that the magic crystal must be destroyed to prevent more people from being transformed into demons.
Just as she was about to make a move, the voice of her senior brother Mo Yu suddenly came from behind her: "Junior sister, be careful, this magic crystal is extremely dangerous, you must use strange fire!"
Gu Shihan looked back, feeling a little relieved, and after looking at and nodding with his senior brother, the two of them cast a spell together to summon their own strange fire.
Gu Shihan's flame was crimson, while Mo Yu's flame was crimson gold. The two flames merged together and roared towards the magic crystal.
The magic crystal felt threatened and began to tremble violently. The surrounding demonic energy surged wildly to form a barrier to block the flames.
With the combined efforts of the two, the flames still broke through the barrier and instantly enveloped the magic crystal. With a crackling sound, the magic crystal gradually melted.
Just when the magic crystal was about to disappear completely, a black shadow suddenly shot out from it and rushed towards Gu Shihan.
Mo Yu was horrified and reached out to pull Gu Shihan, but failed.
After the black shadow entered Gu Shihan's body, her eyes turned dark in an instant. Mo Yu was anxious and tried various methods to wake Gu Shihan up.
At this time, Xingbai rushed over and spit out a crystal clear inner pill and stuck it on Gu Shihan's forehead.
It turned out that this was Xing Bai's inner elixir, which had the power of purification. Under the effect of Xing Bai's inner elixir, the blackness in Gu Shihan's eyes gradually faded away, and he regained clarity.
"Hanhan, I'm so tired!" Xingbai said and fell asleep.
Gu Shihan felt very distressed and sent Xingbai into the space spiritual spring, only then did he feel a little relieved.
"Junior sister, you scared me to death, luckily you are okay!"
"Senior Brother, do you know why such monsters appear in this Tianshui Secret Realm?" Gu Shihan asked with a frown.
Mo Yu felt a little uneasy and said, "Junior sister, I'm not sure about this. Along the way, we encountered demonized monsters and demonized cultivators. How did this strange magic crystal appear? As far as I know, ordinary magic crystals have similar functions to spirit stones and are used by demon cultivators for cultivation."
"Brother, I know this. You just saw it. The black fog in the magic crystal is the most terrifying. I guess those demonized people or monsters are caused by the black fog."
"Then what exactly is this black fog?" Mo Yu frowned.
Gu Shihan shook his head. "I don't know either, but it's definitely not a good thing. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's leave first."
The two brothers and sisters discussed with other cultivators and decided to act separately. The level of the demonized beasts was not high now, and only by hunting more as quickly as possible could they have fewer crises in the future.
Gu Shihan and Mo Yu were recounting their experiences since they parted at Black Wind Cliff. Before they had walked a few miles, more and more demonized monsters, as if they had suddenly smelled some special scent, began to gather towards them frantically.
"Senior Brother, they seem to be coming towards me!" After several battles, Gu Shihan's heart suddenly tightened and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
The demonized beasts were seen baring their fangs and waving their claws, making low roars from their mouths, which was really creepy.
Mo Yu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, holding it across his chest, and stared at Gu Shihan with a firm gaze, saying in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Although his voice was not loud, it was full of strength and determination, which made Gu Shihan feel a little more at ease.
At this moment, Gu Shihan suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in his body.
The power that had been dormant now began to stir, like a beast that had been trapped for a long time and was about to break free from its cage.
At the same time, she also clearly felt that it was the residual power from the black shadow, which was constantly radiating out, as if sending some kind of signal to the demonized creatures around, causing the monsters to approach more frantically.
Gu Shihan clenched his teeth, trying desperately to suppress this uncontrollable force.
She knew very well that if she couldn't stop it in time, not only would she be in great danger, she would definitely be possessed by the devil, and it would also be very likely that Mo Yu who was beside her would be implicated.
But as time went on, that force grew stronger and stronger, and her efforts seemed so insignificant.
As the demonized monsters came in like a tide, their numbers increased and they would be completely submerged in the blink of an eye.
Gu Shihan was extremely anxious, and various countermeasures flashed through his mind rapidly.
Finally, she made a difficult decision - to protect Mo Yu first!
In a flash, Gu Shihan raised his right hand without hesitation and made a lightning-fast hand knife move, hitting Mo Yu's neck accurately.
Mo Yu felt a black screen before his eyes and his body fell limply involuntarily.
Gu Shihan quickly cast a spell and sent the unconscious Mo Yu into the Qiankun House he carried with him.
After doing all this, Gu Shihan took a deep breath, turned around and faced the surging group of demonized monsters.
Her eyes revealed great determination and resolve, because she knew clearly that at this moment she was the only one who could resolve this crisis.
She understood that the reason for this situation was that the black fog that had previously hit her had not been completely cleared away.
If we don't find a way to eliminate it completely as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous.
Gu Shihan doesn't want to be controlled by the monster, the only way is to find a way to clear all the black mist in his body, without leaving even a trace. The Red Lotus Karma Fire might be able to help, or the Tranquil Lotus might be able to help.
But cleaning takes time, and the only way currently is to enter the space.
Gu Shihan no longer hesitated, and flashed into the space. He came to the training room and sat cross-legged, trying to mobilize the red lotus karma fire in his body.
As the Red Lotus Karma Fire was mobilized, the black mist power seemed to sense the danger and ran around in her body, interfering with the flow of her spiritual energy.
Gu Shihan's forehead was covered with sweat. He gritted his teeth and persevered, his mind racing, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, she thought that the purifying power of the Tranquil Lotus might be more gentle and effective.
