Chapter 687 Shadow Demon
Let’s talk about Qi Xiaohei. At this time, he did not enter the underground palace in advance as Ye Bai guessed, but found the entrance to the hot spring with Zhang Haike.
"There are a lot of footprints down there. It seems that the Wang family has been here a long time ago."
After searching around, Qi Xiaohei and Zhang Haike stopped at the mural on the wall, but neither of them found any special information on the mural.
At this time, there was only a splash sound, and Kabbah and Derpy emerged from the hot spring pool.
Xiaodai is Feng Xuewen. He is dull and not as good as Kaba Ji, so he is named Xiaodai by Qi Xiaohei.
"Kabakaba!~"
Kaba described the situation under the hot spring pool and said that there was no passage below and he found nothing.
After searching here to no avail, Qi Xiaohei took Zhang Haike and left the hot spring cave again, preparing to pursue the Wang family based on the few traces they left outside the hot spring cave.
However, when chasing him to a mountain col, Qi Xiaohei discovered that the Wang family troops were divided into three groups and disappeared in different directions.
"Master Hei, does the Wang family want to deliberately confuse us?" Zhang Haike couldn't help but ask.
Qi Xiaohei stepped forward and observed the three footprints, then frowned and said: "I didn't leave them intentionally. Someone did walk by, which means Wang Zanghai divided his people into three groups."
"Then what do we do now?"
Qi Xiaohei raised his head, glanced at Zhang Haike and said, "Since they can be divided into three teams, we can naturally do the same. In this way, you take Xiaodai in one team, and Kaba and I each have a team."
Zhang Haike looked reluctant: "What? Me and this skeleton monster?"
Kaba seemed to be able to understand human speech. Seeing that his younger brother was being ridiculed, he stepped forward and kicked Zhang Haike into the snow pit.
Zhang Haike climbed out of the snow pit with difficulty. He was covered in ice foam and did not dare to talk nonsense.
Qi Xiaohei didn't care so much and directly ordered: "Although Xiaodai is stupid and slow, he can help you warn you. If you encounter a large Wang family's army, just flee. If you encounter a small Wang family's army, figure it out."
What are they doing? If you can stop it, you must stop it."
At this time, Zhang Haike glanced at Xiaodai, and Xiaodai also looked over.
One person and one skeleton look at each other.
Zhang Haike turned around and asked: "Master Hei, are you worried about something?"
Qi Xiaohei shook his head: "I don't know, Wang Zanghai is not an ordinary person. He didn't split up into three groups just to distract us. It's most likely to set up a back-up plan in advance."
"Backhand?"
"For example, explosives, the kind that can flatten these three mountains."
"Then..." Zhang Haike hesitated, wanting to ask Qi Xiaohei how he knew.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, take Xiaodai and take the path on the left. This is a golden talisman. Before activating it, chant the Taoist mantra loudly to save your life!"
After driving Zhang Haike and Xiao Dai away, Qi Xiaohei looked at Kaba and said, "I know your methods, but be careful, go ahead."
"Kabakaba!"
The white jade-colored Kaba responded, blended into the snow, and disappeared before Qi Xiaohei's eyes.
Qi Xiaohei took out the mother-and-son talisman from his body, but unfortunately the talisman had no sense, so he could no longer sense Ye Bai's position.
After peeing a hot urine on the spot as a mark, Qi Xiaohei chased the last members of the Wang family.
I don’t know why, it’s just afternoon, but the sky is getting darker and gloomier.
At the foot of Sansheng Mountain, the howling wind mixed with the heavy snow quickly covered up the footprints left by everyone.
At this time, the Ye Bai trio passed through the Jade Gate and arrived at the back hall of the Ling Palace.
The corridors here are dark and not only extremely cold, but also give off a feeling of suffocation.
It seems like something in the corridor is watching the three of them.
Zhang Daoyi posted an exorcism charm on the left and right stone walls, but there was no response.
"Ye Bai, I feel something is wrong here. Please stop calling out the purple flame, so that I can feel safer." Zhang Daoyi couldn't help but speak.
After experiencing the lesson of having his consciousness swallowed just now, Ye Bai did not dare to release his consciousness at will.
His spiritual consciousness couldn't be used, but his eyes really saw some "things".
"Something is indeed wrong. There is something alive behind you."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord...behind me?"
Zhang Daoyi was startled and quickly leaned towards Ye Bai.
At the same time, a Yuan Hong Sword filled with cold light appeared in Ye Bai's hand and he swung it back.
The sword light flashed like dawn!
There was a tearing sound, like the sound of cloth being torn, and what looked like a black animal skin was split into two by Ye Bai's Yuan Hong Sword, and slowly fell from the air.
"What is this?"
"I don't know, I was hiding in your shadow just now."
"Shadow? There are so many strange and clever tricks in this underground palace. I have never seen such a creature in my life." Zhang Daoyi was no longer afraid, but kicked the animal skin on the ground, and saw that he was struck by the light of the sword.
Black dirty blood oozed from the separated part, and a foul smell gushed out, and I lost some interest.
"This is the shadow demon." At this time, Zhang Jiuyi suddenly said.
Zhang Daoyi glanced at him: "There has been no sound for a long time, why? Do you know?"
"I heard my father once said that those who are as thin as leather, have a cold nature, and like to hide in the dark are shadow demons."
"According to you, this thing just likes to hide in the shadows and is harmless to people?"
Zhang Jiuyi shook his head: "The shadow demon feeds best on blood. It should sleep here forever. If it is awakened by our voice or body temperature, it will have the desire to suck blood."
Zhang Daoyi muttered: "Sure enough, Wang Zanghai's attacks on us latecomers are really dirty!"
"The shadow demon was not left by Wang Zanghai. It should be the work of the Zhang family. The Zhang family once raised the shadow demon in the sewers of Changbai Mountain. However, for unknown reasons, the shadow demon is no longer traceable."
"The sewer? Where is the sewer in Changbai Mountain? Is it the abyss just now?"
"I don't know either."
While the two were talking, Ye Bai had disappeared into the corridor in front, and the sound of a sword tearing through the air was heard from ahead.
Swish!
In the corridor, the shadow demons who had awakened or who had not yet awakened were all killed by Ye Bai under the Yuan Hong Sword.
There are about seven or eight animals in total, which is not many.
The smell emitted after the death of shadow monsters was extremely unpleasant. Ye Bai wrinkled his nose slightly and flicked the purple flame in his palm, burning these miserable shadow monsters to ashes.
After Zhang Daoyi and Zhang Jiuyi caught up, they saw Ye Bai stopping at the entrance of a main hall.
"Ye Bai, this is the back hall, why don't you go in?" Zhang Daoyi asked.
Ye Bai frowned slightly: "There is a sound inside, listen carefully."
Zhang Daoyi quickly held his breath. In the extremely quiet surroundings, a very slight "sparse" sound came from the hall in front.
Huchihuchi!
The sound was weak at first, but soon became clearer.
This spiritual palace is inside the ice dome and cannot be blown by the wind. This sound is definitely not the sound of wind.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Daoyi and Zhang Jiuyi's hearts began to rise and fall with the sound, beating wildly.
Chapter completed!
