Chapter 114 Nightmare
Zhang Yan was about to be turned away, and he happened to see the waiter. He couldn't help but stepped forward to inquire: "Who was that old man just now? He is so strong, and this is the legendary imp siege? Why is it not as dangerous as you said?"
The waiter glanced at Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "That man is the guardian of our city, someone who specializes in guarding our city. I don't know his cultivation level, but he has resisted the imps again and again. Invasion."
"However, the scale of the siege this time is the smallest. It seems to be just a tentative siege. Otherwise, they will not leave easily."
"With so many brats, is this the smallest tentative siege?" Zhang Yan asked in shock upon hearing this.
The waiter nodded and counted: "Of course, despite the large number of imps, no matter how many imps there are, they are of little use to us. Only the ghost king can cause harm to us. There were once more than a dozen of them. Ghost King, the battle that time was very tragic, and in the end it was the guardians who took action to repel the ghost kings. From then on, these little ghosts were also afraid of our guardians and did not dare to act rashly."
"Since then, these little devils have been making tentative attacks from time to time, just to see if our guardian is in the city. Once the guardian is in the city, they will leave quickly."
"And one time I happened to catch up with the guardian who was not in the city. The fierce battle that time was the most brutal battle I have ever seen in my life. At that time, hundreds of our city's masters died, and we were able to hold back these brats from attacking the city. Speed, and finally waited until the guardians came back before driving them away. That battle also happened when night fell. The battle lasted for more than ten days. Later, the cultivation of us martial artists People are not qualified to step forward at all, they can only watch from behind. The lowest level of martial arts among the warriors who fought was Wuzong. That battle was really tragic." The waiter in the store was lost in the memories of that year as he spoke. Whenever he thought of that year, His expression changes when he talks about things.
Zhang Yan was also a little surprised when he heard this, "They say that little ghosts have no intelligence, but it seems that the ghost king's intelligence is not inferior to ours at all. They actually know how to take advantage of the situation. It's really amazing."
Zhang Yan followed the waiter back to the inn. It was dark outside now, and there was a kid attacking the city just now. Zhang Yan could not go out at this juncture, so he could only stay in the city to avoid the limelight. Zhang Yan stayed in the city for three days and waited until On the fourth day, Zhang Yan felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know how long it would take to get to Baodu Mountain, or how long it would take to find Huangquan. The fat man's soul couldn't hold on any longer. Time was very precious. Zhang Yan could only take the risk.
After Zhang Yan made up his mind, he packed up and left the inn, walking towards the outside of the city. In the puzzled eyes of the guards guarding the city, Zhang Yan left the city where warriors gathered and left this temporary shelter from the wind. Harbor and continue walking towards Baodu Mountain.
The two guards guarding the city waited until Zhang Yan left, looked at each other, and said with some confusion: "Isn't this kid stupid? Or is he crazy? He dares to be alone when the night falls. A person walking on the road to hell? Does he want to die? "
"Who knows, he doesn't look like a normal person to me. I estimate that he probably won't survive more than a day."
"One day? He's lucky to have survived two hours. Don't you know what the night reward means?"
Zhang Yan also knows what the coming of night means. After all, he has also heard from the mouth of the Soul-eating Beast, "When the night falls, the sleeping monsters on the Huangquan Road will also wake up. At this time, the Huangquan Road is not only the lonely soul wilderness." Ghosts are dangerous, and there are many more dangerous creatures than ghosts. The road to hell at this time can be said to be the most dangerous one with a narrow escape from death."
Zhang Yan couldn't control that much anymore. For the sake of Fatty's life, Zhang Yan had to break through even the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. Less than two hours after Zhang Yan left the city, he encountered a wave of ghosts, but this time the ghosts were all imps. , whose strength was no match for Zhang Yan, was easily dealt with by Zhang Yan.
After Zhang Yan got rid of those little ghosts, he seemed to have good luck. He drove for five days without encountering any kid. As for the Hundred Ghosts at Night, Zhang Yan never encountered them. Zhang Yan was safe and sound all the time. He hurried forward, but Zhang Yan always felt that his heart was hairy, as if he had a premonition that something was going to happen.
Zhang Yan couldn't explain why he felt this way. He just felt that the surroundings were very strange. However, after using his soul power to explore, he did not find anything weird. Zhang Yan comforted himself in his heart, "Maybe he is thinking too much." No, I'm just scaring myself."
But the more Zhang Yan walked, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed that something was staring at him. This thing seemed to be following him. It had been following him for a long time. Thinking of Zhang Yan, he couldn't help but stop and call up Jingxinlian. , "Help me feel if something is following me."
As Zhang Yan spoke, he released his soul power and looked around. This time, Zhang Yan's soul power contained the energy of the Pure Heart Lotus. Zhang Yan felt that his perception of the outside world had become much clearer in an instant. The control has become more comfortable, but even so, Zhang Yan still didn't notice anything wrong around him.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but put away his soul power, and said with some confusion: "Is it really because I am too nervous? It's impossible. This feeling is very strange. It comes from the spiritual roots in Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness, Zhang Yan's spiritual Gen has been sending a message to Zhang Yan that someone wants to attack Zhang Yan."
Zhang Yan felt strange, but he still withdrew his soul power. The moment Zhang Yan's soul power was withdrawn, Zhang Yan felt gusts of cold wind coming from above his head. For a moment, Zhang Yan felt the threat from his life. At this moment, Zhang Yan's Shura transformation was activated instantly, and the spiritual power in his Dantian surged out crazily, all concentrated around Zhang Yan, forming the most powerful spiritual shield.
I saw a powerful breath coming from above Zhang Yan's head, directly hitting the spiritual shield held by Zhang Yan's hands. For a moment, violent spiritual powers collided with each other, and there were also some souls in these spiritual powers. The attack was directly transmitted through Zhang Yan's body into Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness. The energy of this soul attack was very violent. As soon as it entered Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness, it wanted to wreak havoc. However, Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness not only had the ability to suppress The Soul Monument is in charge, and it is also guarded by Jingxinlian. Not just any kid can do evil in Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness.
Before Jing Xin Lian could make any move, the Soul Suppressing Monument in Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness had already moved. The Soul Suppressing Monument shook for a moment, and then an irresistible suction force came from the Soul Suppressing Monument. The outside world came in. This energy attacking the soul was absorbed into the soul-suppressing monument in an instant before it started to have any effect, and was completely suppressed.
The soul attack did not work, and the spiritual attack of the creature outside was also blocked by Zhang Yan. Only then did Zhang Yan see clearly what was attacking him. He saw that the creature had a pair of pitch black wings, and the tips of the wings were still It has very powerful spikes. Its head looks like a human head, but it also has terrifying fangs. It looks very ferocious. However, the body of this creature only has an upper body similar to that of a human, and its lower body is surrounded by a layer of mist. The general black mist makes it impossible to see clearly, as if it is a creature floating in the air without a lower body.
"Nightmare!" Jingxinlian blurted out after seeing this creature.
Zhang Yan had never heard of nightmares and couldn't help but ask: "What is a nightmare? Is it a monster or something?"
"Monster beasts don't count. It can be said to be a unique creature in Huangquan Road. It is not a monster beast because it does not have a demon core, and its cultivation is not like ordinary monster beasts. It relies on absorption In the cultivation of heaven and earth spiritual power, Nightmare, like the Imp, relies on absorbing the souls of warriors to improve its cultivation, and you have also seen its attack methods."
"Nightmares will attack warriors when they are unprepared. Their attacks include not only spiritual attacks, but also attacks on the soul. Once the soul is attacked by it, the warrior will fall into the nightmare dreamland and be unable to extricate himself. If the warrior is swallowed up by the nightmare, the warrior will not resist, but will only wait for death comfortably in his eternal dream."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but look at the nightmare in front of him carefully after hearing this, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect this nightmare to be so powerful, but if it encounters me, it will be unlucky. Its spiritual attack is not very strong. Its powerful The place is just a soul attack, and for Zhang Yan, a soul attack is simply courting death, not everyone dares to attack the elder’s sea of consciousness.”
I saw the nightmare floating in the air in front of me, and bursts of strange screams were emitted from its mouth. This sound was very harsh, and it seemed to be carrying a magic power when it passed into Zhang Yan's ears, and this magic power was also a kind of magic power. The soul attack followed the sound and entered Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness, but what surprised Nightmare was that as soon as his soul attack entered Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness, it seemed as if it had disappeared into the sea, and there was no reaction at all.
Nightmare stared at Zhang Yan with his black eyes in surprise. Countless soul attacks emitted from Nightmare's body and attacked Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness from all directions. Nightmare originally thought that Zhang Yan would defend his soul, so he did Attacking Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness from all directions, but what happened next made Nightmare completely despair.
Zhang Yan had no intention of defense or resistance at all. Zhang Yan just stood there quietly, waiting for Nightmare's soul attack. All of Nightmare's soul attacks entered Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness, and then they all He was suppressed by the soul-suppressing monument and had no ability to resist.
Nightmare's soul power was also consumed in these attacks, and even the aura on Nightmare's body became much weaker. Zhang Yan sneered and said, "Using soul attacks in front of me is simply asking for death."
As Zhang Yan spoke, he instantly activated the soul-crushing monument in the sea of consciousness. The soul-crushing monument flew out from between Zhang Yan's eyebrows and rose in the wind. In an instant, it changed from the size of a soybean to a stone monument as tall as half a person. Standing in front of Zhang Yan.
The moment the soul-suppressing tablet was released from Zhang Yan's body, Nightmare's pupils instantly enlarged several times, appearing very frightened. Nightmare was so frightened that he flapped his wings hard, wanting to escape from here and stay away from Zhang Yan, a terrible person. Humanity.
However, everything was already too late. The moment the Soul Suppression Monument was released, it had already locked onto Nightmare. No matter how hard Nightmare struggled, he could not escape the suppression of the Soul Suppression Monument. Nightmare's entire body was suppressed in place by the energy of the Soul Suppression Monument. , no matter how hard he flapped his wings, he still couldn't move at all. He could only look at Zhang Yan in horror, his eyes full of fear and pleading.
However, Zhang Yan is not a soft-hearted person, and Zhang Yan is too lazy to talk nonsense with it. He directly activates the soul-suppressing monument and sucks the nightmare into the soul-suppressing monument. No matter how hard the nightmare struggles, he can't get rid of the energy of the soul-suppressing monument, and can only watch in horror. As he was being sucked into the body by the Soul Suppression Monument, the nightmare instantly turned into a pool of blood as soon as it entered the Soul Suppression Monument. Its soul was also crushed by the Soul Suppression Monument and turned into the nourishment of the Soul Suppression Monument.
After suppressing the nightmare, Zhang Yan put away the soul-suppressing tablet. While putting it away, he praised: "It is indeed a treasure that can suppress even the soul-eating beast. It is effortless to deal with a small nightmare." .”
"Don't be complacent, kid. That's just because this nightmare is relatively weak. It can be said to be the weakest among nightmares. If you encounter a powerful nightmare, you won't be able to activate it with your weak soul power. Use the Soul-Suppressing Monument to attack. After all, the Soul-Suppressing Monument's greatest function is to guard. It is invincible when placed in your sea of consciousness to guard your soul, but it is greatly reduced when released for attack.
Zhang Yan also nodded when he heard this, "I do feel this, but this level is enough now. After all, as long as the nightmare's soul attack has no effect, then I will not be afraid of it. If I encounter the nightmare again, , I’ll let it taste my fist.”
Zhang Yan hurried forward while talking. This time he walked safely for nearly three days. During these three days, Zhang Yan did not encounter any attacks. "It seems that this area should have been occupied by me before." The territory of the nightmare that was killed, so no imps or other creatures will appear here anymore."
Zhang Yan then walked for another day, and at this time, the sound of fighting came from not far in front of Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan carefully identified the direction of the sound, and then rushed in the direction of the fighting. The reason why Zhang Yan did this was because he felt a very familiar aura in front of him, and Zhang Yan wanted to go over and confirm.
