Bloody moonlight?
Following the surging darkness, the monsters that pounced towards the team were all stunned.
Wasn't the blood moon obscured by the night? Could it be out again? Not so soon, right?
Many monsters subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the night sky. However, the night sky was pitch black, and the blood moon was completely blocked and could not be seen at all.
"Where did that bloody moonlight in front of us come from?"
The monsters were confused and lowered their heads to look at the group. Suddenly, they saw a blood moon appearing in the group of cultivators.
“How…how could this happen?!”
The monsters were stunned.
"Why is this blood moon not hanging in the sky but falling to the ground, and it just happens to fall in this team?"
"Wait, that's not right. This blood moon seems to be much smaller? And if the blood moon really fell to the ground, these cultivators should be crushed to death immediately. How can they be alive and kicking?"
After the monsters' eyes adjusted to the bloody moonlight, they were surprised to find that it was not the blood moon that released the bloody moonlight, but a human being.
"Why is this man glowing? His head isn't bald. Is this an illusion? Is he trying to scare us? Haha, you underestimate us!"
"We are well-informed and won't be frightened by illusions!"
After a brief moment of surprise, the monsters soon believed that they had discovered the "truth". Instead of retreating, they accelerated their charge, determined to make these cultivators who dared to deceive them with illusions pay the price with their blood and lives!
But at this moment, their pupils shrank together.
They saw that under the cover of the 'illusion' moonlight, the statues and stone tablets on the backs of those strange iron turtles were all activated!
The golden scriptures reappeared and transformed into a whip, lashing at the darkness surging around.
And those statues of gods, with glaring eyes, roared and flew out from the back of the iron turtle.
"Are these also illusions?" asked a ferocious beast in a trembling voice.
The demon master riding on it said confidently: "It must be an illusion! Humph, this trick can't fool me. Quick, speed up, don't let the living night devour all these cultivators. We have to speed up so that we can snatch a few pieces of meat from its 'mouth'."
The beast raised its claws and pointed forward, with hesitation and fear in its tone: "But Demon Lord, those living nights have been repelled by the Scripture Light Whip."
The demon master was disliked by the beast's slow speed, so he leaped up and rushed towards the team in front, leaving behind a voice: "I told you, these are all illusions..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a statue of a furious-looking Vajra flying towards him.
"This illusion is quite real." The demon lord thought, and saw the purple-gold hammer in the statue's hand swung, with dazzling lightning, and with a "bang", it hit his head.
In an instant, his head was smashed to pieces.
The next moment, the headless body of the demon lord fell to the ground with a "thump", right in front of the ferocious beast, and the smelly blood sprayed all over the ferocious beast.
"This, this, this...is this also an illusion? It's too real." The ferocious beast was frightened and trembling. It didn't bother to figure out whether it was real or an illusion, and wanted to turn around and run for its life.
However, at this moment, it saw that the cultivators in the team ahead also launched an attack.
A shower of bullets flashing with rune light instantly hit it, leaving it no time to dodge.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The thick skin of the beast, which was as hard as iron, was blasted open in an instant and shattered into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, its internal organs, meridians, muscles and blood vessels were all shattered by the dense rain of bullets.
"This isn't an illusion at all! Demon Lord, you are tricking me..."
The beast fell to the ground in a pool of blood, its body turning into a honeycomb. It was too late for it to regret.
In the team, Su Mu visualized the blood moon to activate the statue and the stone tablet, while distractedly shouting to everyone: "Don't fight to the end! Don't stay! And don't pick up the spoils! Follow the team, don't be left alone."
Although there are statues and stone tablets in the team, Sumu will not choose to camp in the wild unless it is absolutely necessary.
The temples, Buddhist caves and other places in the Yuanjiao Secret Realm not only have statues and stone tablets, but more importantly, they also have special barriers that can block the surging darkness.
Although Su Mu learned this special barrier through the paid plug-in, he was unable to build it due to his lack of strength and materials.
If there was no special barrier in the place, what would happen if the surging darkness kept coming to ask for a lash? Wouldn't Su Mu have to stare at the sky without blinking all night, and once the blood moon was blocked, he would visualize turning into a small blood moon?
That's really hard work!
When everyone heard Su Mu's order, although they were reluctant to leave the corpses of the evil monsters and ferocious beasts that had been killed, they did not dare to leave the team to pick them up, and could only give up with pain.
While launching long-range spells and artillery attacks at the evil demons and ferocious beasts that emerged from the darkness, they quickened their pace to keep up with the team's marching speed.
Soon, under the leadership of Su Mu, they broke through the surging darkness and the siege of monsters, leaving behind the corpses of evil monsters and ferocious beasts.
Behind them, there were screams and cries.
It was the surging darkness that, after the death of the demigod-level demon lord, launched a "hunt" on the little demons and ferocious beasts that had lost their protection.
In the team, the rune searchlights of several armored vehicles were directed towards the place where the screams were the most intense.
When everyone looked back, they saw the bodies of the still surviving little demons and ferocious beasts disappearing piece by piece amidst their shrill screams!
Swallowed by the surging darkness!
During this process, their screams changed from high-pitched to low and finally stopped.
Although the screams had stopped, the creepy feeling that everyone felt did not dissipate.
The surging darkness was so strange and terrifying. If it weren't for the scripture stele and sumac in their team, they would have been swallowed up by the darkness long ago, and not even a trace would be left.
At this moment, no one cared about the spoils anymore, as staying alive was the most important thing.
Erha was so frightened that his legs went limp. He was almost swallowed up by the surging darkness. It’s really scary just thinking about it.
Xun Ling glanced at it and said unhappily, "Are you scared now? Let's see if you dare to commit suicide again in the future."
Erha shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would never dare to do it again. But he soon became proud again, barking non-stop, as if showing off something.
"What is the dog saying?" Su Mu asked curiously.
At this time, the blood moon once again tore a hole from the cover of darkness and reappeared in the night sky. Su Mu was able to stop visualizing the blood moon, take a breath, and recover.
Fearing that he would lose his job, the book spirit hurriedly started translating: "It said that it was a fearless warrior who dared to challenge the strange darkness and survived intact. It was a very remarkable dog hero."
Su Mu laughed dumbly: "Intact? The hair on the front half of its body has fallen off, how can it be considered intact? You still call it a fearless warrior, the ignorant are fearless?"
Xun Ling was even more angry at Erha's words. He raised his hand and grabbed Erha's neck, and shouted in the language of the spirit beast: "Don't embarrass yourself. Do you believe that I will throw you into the darkness right now and make you a real warrior?"
The Husky was so frightened that he immediately tucked his tail between his legs and begged for mercy: "No, Master, that's not becoming a warrior, that's becoming a martyr."
Xun Ling said: "Then stop playing tricks, hurry up and be alert to your surroundings."
"Yes, yes." Erha nodded and bowed, becoming much more restrained and not daring to brag anymore.
After the battle, the subsequent march became much smoother and no problems were encountered.
The monster hiding in the darkness and staring at them, after seeing what happened just now, knew that they were not easy to mess with, and did not dare to launch an attack rashly again. It just hid in the dark and followed them quietly.
As for the surging darkness, it wanted to devour and digest the 'prey' it had just obtained, so it temporarily let them go and did not harass them again.
It seems that the hobby of whipping is still far inferior to that of eating.
Under the leadership of Feili, everyone finally found another temple.
This temple was much smaller than the one they found in the evening. Armored vehicles could not drive in and had to be parked outside.
Fortunately, the area outside is also protected by the barrier, so there is no need to worry that after one night, not only the battery of the armored vehicle is gone, but the vehicle itself is also gone.
Everyone entered the temple carefully.
Su Mu looked around and asked Su Ye: "How do you feel about this place?"
Su Ye walked around the temple carefully, and even stood for a while beside a stone statue that was so mottled and broken that the statue's face could not be seen clearly, before saying, "I don't feel the same discomfort as before."
"That's good." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no problem with this temple.
He immediately gave the order to park the armored vehicles in a circle outside the temple, and the people got off the vehicles and went into the temple, still divided into two groups, taking turns to rest and stand guard.
But before we rest, there is one more thing to do.
Su Mu arranged: "Students majoring in alchemy, please take the trouble to help everyone purify the chaotic spiritual energy in their bodies first."
All the doctors responded in unison and began to get busy.
Su Mu was not idle either. He went to help the students with the most chaotic spiritual power to purify themselves.
The chaotic spiritual power cannot be solved by one or two purifications, but the situation will improve with each purification. When the trial planting of the Pure Spirit Grass is successful and large-scale planting begins, everyone's situation will surely improve greatly.
Just as Su Mu helped three classmates complete today's spiritual power purification, Amiya flew to his side and reported: "Doctor, the surveillance you set up at the target location has made a discovery."
"Oh?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows. "Is there really a problem? Quick, project the surveillance footage so we can see what's weird over there."
"Yes, Doctor."
Amiya's donkey ears stood up high, like two antennas, and light was projected from her eyes, turning into a light curtain in mid-air.
The image displayed on the light screen was the temple where everyone had briefly stayed before.
But at this time, the temple that was solemn and dignified during the day had turned into a hellish appearance!
