Chapter 132 Chapter 132 The Elf...eat him! ...
The whole valley was in chaos, with sword lights and holy lights flying everywhere, making the monsters scream.
But in such a chaotic place, there is one place that is different from the others.
The soil was soaked with blood, and the ground was faintly discolored. The ground was littered with the corpses of monsters, and some ghouls didn't care that they were fellow humans, and ignored the surroundings, just ate them crazily.
The sharp sword swept across, like cutting tofu, cutting off the head of the zombie without any hindrance, as if the hard shell that they suddenly grew for protection did not exist.
The ghoul's head fell to the ground and rolled outwards several times.
It was lifeless, unlike a human whose claws were still tightly grasping the severed limbs of its companion.
Gu Jingyun casually shook off the blood on the sword.
In the crowded battlefield, there was an open space of several meters in radius centered on the man. The monsters were afraid to move forward, and some of the monsters with higher IQs turned around and ran away, fearing to face Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun frowned.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, sweeping across the valley where the sounds of fighting and killing continued.
……wrong!
"Song Hua!!" Gu Jingyun forced his spiritual power into a line and transmitted the sound directly to Song Hua's ears on the cliff.
His name was Song Hua, but there was more than one person coming.
Two figures got rid of the monsters that were entangled with them at the fastest speed. One jumped down from the cliff, and the other came from the battlefield on the other side. They rushed towards Gu Jingyun from two different angles.
Arriving at the same time as them was another handsome young man.
"Young Master, what do you want?"
"Young Master, I have something to report!"
"Brother, I found a big problem—"
When they got to the man, the three of them stopped suddenly, spoke almost at the same time, and then shut up at the same time.
"Ayan, you speak first." Gu Jingyun gestured to the four of them to stand back to back, guarding against the seemingly endless stream of monsters while communicating with each other in low voices.
Jiang Yan used his sword to fend off the skeleton soldiers. If we use the level of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation to convert, the soldiers are actually in the Nascent Soul stage.
"The great elder of the demon clan seems to have disappeared!" Jiang Yan spoke very quickly.
Ji Ziheng quickly followed up: "I was just about to report this matter. I searched the valley and didn't see the great elder with profound cultivation that Yu Hanyi mentioned. However, there are many demon cultivators who betrayed the human race like him!"
"besides--"
Jiang Yan cast an attack spell, knocking away several undead.
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Are there too many monsters here? It feels like we can't kill them all!"
Another skeleton soldier appeared, holding a heavy sword and a shield, and chopped down at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan quickly raised his sword to block, and his whole body sank.
Gu Jingyun saw this from the corner of his eye, and his heart tightened. He was about to go back to help, but Jiang Yan had already thrust his magic wand into the skeleton soldier's wide-open mouth, and with a burst of bright holy spell, the skeleton soldier completely fell apart and was directly liberated.
"...Huh." Jiang Yan took a deep breath.
The number of monsters killed by Jiang Yan was no less than that of Gu Jingyun, and he even killed more than Gu Jingyun.
He often went to help other monks who were in danger, frequently releasing light magic to weaken the power of monsters in the entire area.
A lot of both magic power and spiritual power were consumed. If he had not broken through to become a tribulation-crossing monk before this, he would have certainly been exhausted.
"Be careful." Gu Jingyun frowned, took a few steps back, and stood closer to Jiang Yan: "If you feel tired, hide behind me."
"Yeah." Jiang Yan didn't try to show off. He took two or three steps and jumped behind Gu Jingyun. Ji Ziheng quickly took his place. Jiang Yan took out a bottle of oily green magic potion, ignored the strange taste, and drank it all in one gulp.
Physical strength is instantly restored.
Apart from its killer taste, this instant recovery potion is excellent.
Gu Jingyun asked Song Hua: "Did you find anything unusual up there?"
Song Hua had been setting up formations above the valley, guarding the exit with others to prevent the monsters from escaping and endangering the human world. He had never been deep into the battle, but he was high above and could overlook the entire area.
There were always dense monsters trying to break through the defense line, but Song Hua was busy defending his position and was never able to notice them.
Being reminded at this moment, I was startled.
Song Hua recalled the valleys he had overlooked many times by accident, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind: "It seems that there is a very strange place. It is not the center of the battlefield, but it is the area with the most monsters!"
Gu Jingyun made a prompt decision: "Let's go! Let's take a look!"
Since this is the place with the most monsters, it is certainly not a tourist attraction where anyone can come and go as they please.
Led by Song Hua, the four people moved slowly towards that place.
The closer you get, the greater the resistance, and the higher the level of the monster.
and……
All four of them noticed something was wrong.
Jiang Yan was puzzled and asked: "Why are they all staring at me?"
Among the group of people, four of them each occupy a corner, and Jiang Yan is under the greatest pressure.
The monsters pounced on him desperately. No matter how many Jiang Yan killed, he could not stop their determination and perseverance like moths to a flame.
Logically speaking, even if there were differences in the number and waves of monster attacks, the four people shouldn't have too much difference. And Gu Jingyun and Jiang Yan, who killed the most fiercely, should be feared by the monsters, and the pressure should be gradually reduced.
They also have to help Ji Ziheng and Song Hua and take on some of the pressure.
But there were fewer monsters on Gu Jingyun's side, and there were no more monsters on Ji Ziheng and Song Hua's sides, so all of them were on Jiang Yan!
"This..." The four of them were all shocked and confused.
"Ayan, is there anything about you that attracts them?" Gu Jingyun asked.
"No, what could it be--" In a flash, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that when he first cracked the Blood Soul Formation, a great demon possessed Xia Wenji and said to him in the common language of Hill Continent: "You are a descendant of natural elves, and you have the branches of the elf mother tree."
"It's a branch of the mother tree!" Jiang Yan blurted out!
Everyone present knew the truth about Jiang Yan's identity, and also knew the importance of the mother tree to the elves. They were all shocked when they heard this.
Jiang Yan asked: "Shall I try?"
"Well." Gu Jingyun said, "You hide behind us."
Jiang Yan retreated behind the three people and was firmly protected by them. Then, he carefully took out a branch of the Elf Mother Tree, only a small piece, without even a leaf.
If such dead branches were thrown outside, no one would take a second look at them except elves and mages with natural magic, and naturally no one would notice the infinite vitality and natural magic contained in the branches.
The undead are not of natural attributes, and generally speaking, they prefer things with a dark aura.
But, the next second when Jiang Yan took out the branch of the mother tree.
All the monsters on the battlefield paused at the same time; the roaring, screaming, chewing...all the uncomfortable sounds stopped.
The only sounds on the battlefield were the confused voices of the human monks, the rolling sounds of skulls and bones as they took the opportunity to kill the enemy, and the rustling sound of the wind.
This second of pause is like the silence before the storm.
The next moment.
Jiang Yan's scalp suddenly felt numb.
"Put it away!!" Gu Jingyun shouted.
Jiang Yan immediately retracted the branches of the mother tree, but it was too late. His natural spirit aura was leaked for only a second before he was locked onto by the demons.
All the demons - whether visible to the naked eye or far away on the other side - cast greedy glances towards Jiang Yan.
[Elf…]
[It's a nature spirit! ]
【Eat him, eat him, eat him!!】
In the eyes of other human cultivators, the monsters suddenly stopped, stared at Jiang Xianjun, and made all kinds of confusing and meaningless noises from their mouths.
It seemed to be magic language. Just like people who learn a language may not understand a dialect, few people present could understand the monsters' magic language with a heavy accent.
Cold sweat broke out on Ji Ziheng's forehead.
"My Lord, hurry up and leave——"
As soon as the words fell, the demon rushed towards Jiang Yan, roaring like crazy.
"Back off!" Gu Jingyun shouted.
Ji Ziheng and Song Hua, who were originally standing side by side with him, now took two steps back to make room.
Veins bulged on Gu Jingyun's arms, and the sword of self-examination in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds as he held it high.
The man's spiritual energy surged throughout his body, reaching its peak in just two seconds.
The monster had also rushed in front of him, with its sharp claws and skeleton sword blades right in front of him.
"Zhaotian——"
Gu Jingyun shouted in a low voice, and his arm with a cold blade quickly drew an arc. In an instant, a sword light formed by the gathering of countless spiritual powers swept across the battlefield with the force of swallowing the sky!
"Wow!"
“I’ll go—”
"Young Master, be careful of your own people!!"
Many monks cried out in surprise and dodged dangerously.
Gu Jingyun's face looked much paler than before, and his chest was rising and falling violently. It was obvious that this move had taken a huge toll on him.
The effect is also very good.
The first batch of demons that rushed over desperately were indeed dead.
Not only did Gu Jingyun clear the surrounding area, but the area where the sword light spread also became empty, without a single demon left.
Whether it was Jiang Yan and others, or other human cultivators, the pressure was quickly reduced.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ground at the bottom of the valley suddenly cracked into several cracks, and monsters broke out of the ground one after another.
Just after they are completely out, these cracks will try to close again - but they can never return to their original state, and there will always be a gap.
But for a battlefield, this gap is almost negligible, and one might even think it was accidentally broken when one was killing the enemy.
The monster crawled out of the soil without making any sound. It was not until it roared and rushed towards Jiang Yan again that the monks came back to their senses from their fear.
If everyone hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have thought that it turned out that no matter how hard they tried, they could never kill them all, because when they killed one, another would pop up from the ground!
Jiang Yan handed two pills to Gu Jingyun's mouth.
He drank the potion because he wanted to restore both his magic power and his spiritual power. But Gu Jingyun was different, he only had spiritual power in his body, so high-quality pills were more suitable for the young master at this moment.
Gu Jingyun swallowed the pill into Jiang Yan's hand, without taking his eyes off the enemy.
After a brief mutation, the battlefield returned to the way it was half a quarter of an hour ago. The only difference was that most of the monsters ignored the humans who were so close to them and instead focused on Jiang Yan.
The four of them fell into a melee again.
Just a few seconds after the fight started, the four of them just felt the pressure when suddenly there was another extremely powerful attack, slaughtering all the monsters that kept muttering "eat the elves" in their mouths.
The heavy responsibility on Jiang Yan's shoulders suddenly lightened.
He looked up and saw Citroen falling from the sky, stepping on the corpses of the demons.
"Nephew! What did you do? Why did these demons target you?" Citroen asked in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Yan shouted back: "They want to eat me!"
Citroen was puzzled: "The devil only eats beautiful women?" What a guy, he is so picky about food!
"..." Jiang Yan said helplessly, "Uncle, I am that thing, have you forgotten?"
The wording was vague, but Citroën responded immediately.
Jiang Yan is a nature spirit.
The demons don’t like beautiful women, they think beautiful women are more fragrant.
They think the natural elves are very fragrant.
Jiang Yan was puzzled. He had read countless books and had never heard that elves were on the demon tribe’s favorite recipes. Otherwise, even if it was not written in the book, there should be rumors within the tribe.
My mother only said that monsters are a group of irrational undead who like flesh and darkness, but she didn't say that they also like the breath of nature.
...Even if we take a step back, it should be "kill him" instead of "eat him".
"Someone ordered it." Jiang Yan murmured, but no one heard his voice.
Jiang Yan retracted his sword, focused on defense, and did not rush to the front line again.
Although there were many monsters attacking him, there were too many people standing in front of him.
Gu Jingyun, Ji Ziheng and Song Hua were originally by his side. When Xue Tielong saw that he was in trouble, he ran over to help kill the enemies. Ling Hanzhang, Yan Yushan and others also rushed to support him when they saw that the situation was not good.
Because most of the monsters were moving towards Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan had unknowingly become the center of the moving battlefield.
Wherever he goes, the devil follows.
Under such circumstances, the human cultivators chased the monsters all the way, and finally gathered with a group of fellow Taoists in the direction of Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan calmly looked around the place and glanced back at the "abnormal point" he was originally planning to visit.
Originally, countless monsters gathered there. Now, those monsters were attracted by the aura of the nature elves and came out in full force.
In doing so, they actually expose the very thing they want to protect.
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes.
There was also a thin mist at the bottom of the valley. Due to the countless blood energy, it had now turned into a lingering blood mist, which blocked the vision.
“Holy Light!”
Jiang Yan cast a holy light spell with his magic wand.
The power of light killed the demons along the way and dispersed the blood mist, allowing Jiang Yan to see the hidden truth.
He saw it.
There was a cave entrance on the rock wall that was blocked by layers of monsters. The cave was dark, like the mouth of an abyss from which one could never return.
The power of the holy light lasted only a few seconds. After a few seconds, the blood mist blocked the view again, and the monsters broke out of the soil and filled the gap.
Jiang Yan heard Gu Jingyun and many other cultivators discussing how to break the formation. They were communicating by fighting and shouting at the same time - there was no other way, it was too noisy, and they couldn't hear clearly without shouting. Anyway, demons couldn't understand human language.
"This must be a formation that can summon the undead without limit!"
"Will the formation be buried in the ground?"
"Isn't this nonsense? It must be right below!"
"Everyone, we have to find the center of the formation and break it, otherwise it will be our own people who will be killed!"
"Young Master, if we can't find the center of the formation, can we just blow up the soil?"
"Is there any brother with earth spirit roots who can come and help us dig up the ground—"
Jiang Yan frowned and thought carefully, then he looked back at the cave.
There seemed to be an inexplicable attraction calling him.
The monks have spontaneously begun to dig up the ground vigorously.
Jiang Yan had a hunch.
Perhaps part of the formation was buried in the soil, but the core of the formation was not in the soil, but in...
Deep in the cave!
Jiang Yan strode forward, blasted away a few monsters, and came to Gu Jingyun.
He told the man what he had seen and what he had guessed.
Gu Jingyun turned around and glanced at the place blocked by the blood mist.
"Let's go! I'll go with you!" The man turned the sword tip swiftly and rushed over there with Jiang Yan.
"Nephew! Nephew-in-law! Where are you two going? " Citroen poked his head out and shouted.
He didn't care that the others were so frightened by his address that their pupils were dizzy and their attacks almost went astray.
"Uncle, there is a cave over there, and inside that might be the core of the demon clan!" Gu Jingyun replied calmly.
Citroen said, "It's too dangerous for two people to go alone. You should select a group of people to go with you. Uncle will lead the rest of the people to guard outside and leave a way for you to retreat!"
"good!"
Gu Jingyun also thought this was safer.
He knew the information of all the monks who came to exorcise demons, so at the critical moment he did not hesitate at all and just recited a string of people's names.
Not taking everyone with them, trying to evenly divide the forces inside and outside. It was still unknown whether the inside of the cave was more dangerous than the outside.
"Would you like to follow my husband and I into the depths of the demon clan to find out what's going on?" Gu Jingyun asked.
The monks' faces twitched again.
Some people answered readily, while others spoke in a sad and angry voice.
It's not that I oppose Gu Jingyun's words, but...
The young master actually said "husband husband"! !
Lady Jiang really has a Taoist partner, there is no hope!
I came here to kill a demon and suffer a broken heart at the same time. How tragic it is.
