In the evil spirit, a vague figure rushed over. The elder had quickly moved to the place where the figure rushed over and waved his hand to hit it.
There was a crashing sound, as if something was broken.
The next moment, more figures rushed over from the evil spirit. The elder quickly took action and knocked these figures away one by one.
But there were too many figures, and the elder could not knock all the figures away in an instant.
So, when a figure rushed into the crowd, Gu Qingxi also saw the appearance of the figure clearly.
The whole body was made of stones, from head to toe, without eyes or mouth.
It can only be seen that it is a human figure with a head and limbs.
The elder knocked the stone demon in the crowd away, and the stone demon's body decomposed into many stones in mid-air, but after landing, it reassembled into its original appearance and continued to attack.
Gu Qingxi finally understood why Lan Rongjun said that the stone demon was very difficult.
Because it can be smashed and reassembled to attack them, the stone demon seems to be immortal.
Gu Qingxi also saw a stone demon being knocked flying and falling on a stone pillar. Its broken stone body directly merged into the stone pillar and disappeared.
"Speed up, don't be careless." The elder shouted sternly.
The two elders holding the lamps sped up and moved forward.
The elder was more vigilant and focused on the surroundings.
Gu Qingxi was secretly discussing the stone demon with the Wanling Patriarch.
"Wanling, are stone demons really immortal?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Of course not. Stone demons have stone hearts. If you destroy the stone heart, the stone demon will lose its life. But the stone heart is very small, and you don't know which stone it is hidden in. It's not easy to deal with." The Wanling Patriarch explained.
Gu Qingxi remembered that the stone demon's body was broken into pieces of rubble when it was broken, and realized that the stone heart was indeed difficult to find.
Unless you have a strong strength to smash the stone demon into powder, the stone heart will naturally become powder.
It's just that the bodies of these stone demons are extremely hard, and it's not easy to smash them into powder in an instant.
Gu Qingxi estimated that the Great Elder could do it, but he didn't do it. Obviously, there were too many stone demons. If they were all smashed into powder, it would consume too much of his energy, which would be detrimental to the next escort journey.
Moreover, he had to attack within the range of the barrier, which also limited the Great Elder's ability to perform.
Obviously, the Great Elder and his men were also very concerned about these evil spirits.
Gu Qingxi also understood why the opening of this secret realm required the consent of the Eight Demon Kings.
Because, perhaps only such a powerful force could safely lead people into the place where the secret realm was opened.
Next, Gu Qingxi's guess was confirmed.
More and more stone demons began to attack their group frequently.
After Lan Rongjun struggled to chop off a stone demon that attacked him with his sword, he wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.
How many stone demons has he knocked away?
Sixty-eight or sixty-nine?
These stone demons are immortal and tireless, attacking them crazily.
The stone demon's attack was very powerful. Some members of the Lan family were injured, some had broken arms, and some had broken legs.
Lan Rongjun felt that his magic power was depleting very quickly. If it continued like this, he would not be able to hold on any longer. He
did not know how long it would take to reach the center of the gray stone forest.
Under the guidance of the Wanling Patriarch, Gu Qingxi repelled the attacking stone demon while sensing the location of the stone demon's stone heart.
The ancestor of Wanling was recalling what his master had said:
"My master once said that the stone heart of the stone demon can actually be traced. The stone demons have no intelligence and will only savagely attack living things that break into the gray stone forest.
They are not afraid of the evil spirit in the gray stone forest because they were born in the evil spirit.
Therefore, most of the stone hearts will have a trace of evil spirit.
If you can find a stone with evil spirit wrapped around the stone demon's body, it is very likely that the stone heart is inside.
But you have to find that stone in a very short time, and then find a way to break the stone into slag."
Gu Qingxi found that when the stone demon rushed in, the evil spirit around them would also be brought in.
But soon these evil spirits brought in would be dispelled.
But the evil spirit wrapped around the stone heart would not be dispelled so quickly.
This time point is an opportunity.
The semicircular barrier moved very quickly, and more stone demons also attacked.
The crowd finally became chaotic.
"Hold steady, don't leave the barrier." Seeing this, the elder frowned and shouted in a low voice.
His figure moved quickly in the barrier, knocking away the attacking stone demons one by one.
But these stone demons would soon regroup and attack again.
Screams were heard, and someone was injured by the stone demon again.
After Lan Rongjun knocked away a stone demon with a sword, he pulled a pale-faced Lan family member behind him.
This young Lan family member was almost dragged out by the stone demon just now.
And such things kept happening.
The crowd was getting more and more chaotic, and the screams were getting more and more.
Feng Xiatian and Lekong were also a little tired at this moment, and their vests were full of sweat.
A stone demon that was a few points taller than an ordinary stone demon suddenly appeared and pounced on Lan Rongjun.
Lan Rongjun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly waved his sword to resist. However, another stone demon appeared on his right side. The stone demon raised his stone arm and was about to hit Lan Rongjun's right arm holding the sword heavily.
At this time, Gu Qingxi drew his sword.
This sword accurately pierced a piece of stone.
The stone demon fell apart instantly, but did not regroup.
After Lan Rongjun knocked away the stone demon in front of him, he was shocked to find that the stone demon that Gu Qingxi stabbed did not reorganize.
What happened?
But he didn't have time to think about it. More stone demons rushed into the barrier, and he swung his sword to deal with the stone demons again.
"How is it? Have you found the feeling?" Ancestor Wan Ling asked Gu Qingxi.
"Some can be felt, some can't." Gu Qingxi replied.
"It's normal, it's already very powerful. Look at that elder, he's like a spinning top, spinning around and knocking the stone demon away. It looks very powerful, but in fact, he doesn't use his brain." Ancestor Wan Ling couldn't help but complain, "I tell you, the brains of the demons are not as smart as ours."
Gu Qingxi looked at the elder who moved quickly in the crowd to knock the stone demon away and save the Lan family, and felt that Ancestor Wan Ling's description of the spinning top was actually very vivid.
"The demons are stronger than humans and have longer lifespans than humans, but humans are smarter than the demons. The demons have well-developed limbs so their minds are simple." Ancestor Wan Ling sighed.
Gu Qingxi: "...That makes sense."
Ancestor Wan Ling: "Of course! What I said are all wise words! Ah, hit the stone demon quickly, there's one on your left."
Gu Qingxi stabbed with a sword, and the stone demon shattered to the ground with a crash, and then never reassembled.
This time, Lan Rongjun also noticed it, and he couldn't help asking, "How did you do it?"
"Find the heart of the stone, stab it and the stone demon won't reassemble again." Gu Qingxi said in a deep voice.
Lan Rongjun nodded, and the next moment the stone demon rushed over, and he stabbed it with a sword, shattering the stone demon's body, but the stones quickly reassembled and rushed over again.
Lan Rongjun: "..." I understand the principle, but how do I do it?
