Chapter 509 The Death of the Moon Demon and Sister Qi's Psychological Restoration(1/2)
Because the Moon Demon race is not only powerful in combat, but also extremely cunning, Tianyou and the others have always been careful. So many preparations before, it was actually a bit overreacting to other enemies. However, facing the Moon Demon, it was obviously not enough.
Just as the sword edge of Qi Xiaomei was about to stab the Yuemo Demon's eye, the Yuemo on the ground suddenly bounced up from the ground at a nearly teleportation speed. Then the arm, which had already broken muscles, wrapped around Qi Xiaomei's neck, and pressed her forehead with the other hand to complete a standard head-wringing posture. The next second, Yuemo's arm exerted force, trying to end the battle with an extremely handsome cut-off action.
However, when his arm was exerted, he found that... could not be twisted.
At first, Xiaomei Qi's neck was indeed twisted to the side by his powerful force, but when her neck reached its limit and was about to be twisted the next moment, it seemed to be suddenly stuck. No matter how the Moon Demon exerted his force, he could not twist it.
Puff...
Yue Mo, who was still competing with Qi Xiaomei's neck, suddenly heard a bad sound, let go, lowered his head, and the huge penetrating injury in his abdomen made him feel that there was a moment of confusion in his mind.
"Why? Why? I clearly used the method of disintegrating the demon that burned my life and the enemy to die together, but it was still...?"
The confusion of the moon demon could not help him get out of the predicament, and this guy's thoughts were also very fast. He knew that his power was exchanged for burning his life, and he couldn't last long, and there was no possibility of running away. He had no intention of running away at all. His idea was very simple, just to explode before death, and even if he died, he would take away the enemy in front of him.
Time is tight, so I don’t have time to be there. The Moon Demon, who couldn’t twist the neck of Qi Xiaomei and was stabbed by a sword, immediately changed his strategy. He suddenly pinched Qi Xiaomei’s arm and twisted it desperately, trying to break Qi Xiaomei’s arm and grab the magic weapon that looked very powerful.
However……
Can't twist!
He looked down at Xiaomei Qi's forearm, which seemed to be broken by a little bit of action, and then looked up at Xiaomei Qi. Yuemo's eyes seemed to convey a substantial question: "What are you?"
However, Xiaomei Qi did receive Yuemo's doubts. She smiled and showed an extremely innocent smile. "Sorry, I'm here to be a zombie." As she said that, she hugged Yuemo's shoulder and pulled him towards her, and she followed the head hammer and hit the bridge of Yuemo's nose.
Generally speaking, creatures like Moon Demon with long faces have relatively fragile nose bridges. After all, too long length means that the structural strength is not high. In addition, there are many information receptors here, so the nerves are dense and the pain is strong, so they are naturally fragile.
This time, Xiaomei Qi burst out all her power. Although the Moon Demon used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method to burn his life and gain temporary power explosion and pain immunity, he was still hit by this and his face was full of flowers, and his eyes were shining with stars, and he felt like he was almost fainting.
“Back.”
Just when the Moon Demon was dizzy and full of Venus, Tianyou's shouts came from behind Xiaomei Qi. Xiaomei obediently let go of the Moon Demon and took a step back. Tianyou held Taiyi Sword in his hand and slashed it down with one sword. Even though his cultivation level was more than one hundred levels away, the sharpness of Taiyi Sword was still unstoppable. In an instant, the two arms that Yuemei had not yet put down were cut off, completely destroying his upper limbs.
This is not the end.
Tianyou's attack had just ended, and Yuemo's broken arms had not yet fallen to the ground. Tianyou squatted directly to make way for the upper attack range. Hu Niu's two pointed claws slid over Tianyou's head and penetrated into Yuemo's eyes, then grabbed the guy's eye socket and pulled his head and pulled him backwards.
Tianyou, who had already squatted down, took advantage of the situation and repaired the sword with Taiyi Sword, and cut off the guy's legs.
The Moon Demon, who had lost his limbs, was blind and was pressed on the ground by Hu Niu and grabbed it. He suddenly flew with blood and flesh. In the blink of an eye, he became a pair of almost unrecognizable corpses.
"Okay, I should be really dead now." The Moon Demon, who had completely lost his resistance, was finally completely dead. Being beaten up like this should be considered a relief for him.
After hearing Tianyou's reminder, Hu Niu took out both hearts in the other person's chest and stood up from the guy's broken body.
Because of the Great Demon's Disintegration Technique, the Moon Demon's corpse has lost most of its strength. Not only is the spiritual power reaction weak, but even the muscles and internal organs are rapidly corroding and melting. It feels like it will turn into water in a while. This is the result of extreme overdraft and squeeze the potential of the body. Although it will die in the end, at least one or two enemies can be defeated before death. Unfortunately, this Moon Demon is not lucky, and even if it explodes, it will not be able to kill any enemy.
There was no time to care about the corpses on the ground, Tianyou called Xiaomei Qi to her side.
Little Sister Qi raised her hand and handed the Emperor Dao Jian over. Tianyou took it casually and threw it back. The Emperor Dao Jian himself was suspended beside him and stopped in the air. Tianyou held Qi Xiaomei's chin with one hand and glanced at the side. On her tilted neck, a clear purple-red mark surrounded the entire white neck, which looked extremely eye-catching.
"Don't it hurt?"
Qi Xiaomei shook her head. "It's just a little hot, maybe it's the body is repairing." Qi Xiaomei tilted her head and showed a cute smile when she said this. "Actually, it's good to be a zombie, at least you don't have to worry about being injured."
Tianyou shook his head, and still felt a little worried, he pulled her arm and checked it.
The power of the Moon Demon is still very terrifying. Even if it is a zombie body, the level of the little sister Qi is still too low. On her fair arm, a purple-red palm print was extremely clear. If it weren't for the fact that the King Kong skeleton in her body was really hard, she would have been dismembered by the Moon Demon now.
Tianyou felt a little embarrassed to see it. Qi Xiaomei shyly pulled her arm back and joked deliberately: "Oh, senior brother, what are you worried about? I am the little sister of King Kong, so I'm hard." As she said that, she deliberately raised her arms and put a "I'm very strong" position.
Tianyou smiled and lightly glanced at Qi Xiaomei's forehead, then turned around and walked towards the battlefield on the other side.
Before fighting with Tianyou and the others, the Moon Demon first fought with others. Tianyou and the others didn't know that the person who was attacked was the one who attacked them, so Tianyou was free and wanted to check it out.
After a check, Tianyou understood that this group of people was the one who had chased them before, but the clothes and items on these people were very messy and they could not determine their identities at all. It seemed that they were just a group of people who had just joined together to form such a team. As for more information, there was no way to verify it. The other party was not stupid, and naturally they would not bring all the evidence and other things to them in assassination.
Although they still couldn't figure out the identity of these people, Tianyou and the others did not return empty-handed, at least they picked up a bunch of spoils. Although they didn't find any magic weapons, there were still many gadgets and finances, and it would be a good comparison to their income after a little treatment.
The masked killers don’t have to worry about the corpses. They just destroy their heads to prevent turning into zombies and throw them there directly, but Tianyou didn’t plan to throw them here. Except for the minced meat that they really couldn’t pick up, Tianyou tried to recycle the parts that could be found. These things were planned to be taken back for Zhenyuan Shangxian and Tianfei and others to see. On the one hand, they were to report this incident, and on the other hand, they were to see if the corpse of Yuemo has any value for waste utilization. After all, the Immortal Sect has always had the habit of using the corpses of the demons or demons to refine magic weapons. This Moon Demon Eight is also a high-end material. I just don’t know if the explosion skills that the guy used before had any impact on the value of the corpse.
Returning to the village with the spoils, Tianyou and the others stayed in the village for another night. They attended the villagers' funeral early the next morning and made a large-scale requiem for the entire cemetery. After all, the environment of the Shenzhou Continent was a little overwhelming, and the corpses were thrown littered without treatment, and they might run back on their own in two days. Therefore, the cemetery needs special formations to suppress and strengthen them from time to time.
In the afternoon, Tianyou and his party left the village after attending the funeral and gradually walked out of the foggy forest under the guidance of the mocking wind.
When I came in, I searched for marks all the way, but it was very fast.
"Three seals, there is one left. Let's go there right now?"
"We need to determine where we are first." Tianyou and the others interspersed directly from the foggy forest, so they were not sure where they were. They only knew that they were probably near Miyun County. Fortunately, they had the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of Kangfeng, which could directly lock in nearby towns from a distance. After arriving at the town, it would be much easier to ask for directions.
Because when leaving the Mist Forest, he walked in a general direction with a purpose, Tianyou and the others did not deviate from the preset route, and they happened to appear near Miyun County. He had the spiritual cavalry beads that came from the King of Chu, which directly solved Tianyou and the others' mobility problem. Starting from Miyun County, headed north along the pipeline, bypassed the southernmost end of the Dongjie Mountain Range, circled around the foothills, and then entered the Daxing County area.
After passing through Daxing County, the road began to become a little narrow. But after all, it was a pipe and the ground was paved pretty well.
It is convenient to have a spirit cavalry. I found an inn in Daxing County for one night. At noon the next day, they arrived at Longya Fort No. 17. Tianyou had been here when he came to Chu State from Zixiao Palace, but now he has gone back.
When you pass through Longya Fort, the Dragon Boat is conveniently located in front of you. This is one of the largest piers in the State of Chu and is an important import and export shore for materials. A large proportion of all materials from the north and neutral areas in Chu are transported from here, so it can be said that it is quite busy.
Tianyou had a waist card issued by the King of Chu in his hand, and he successfully contacted a merchant ship that was about to take to Hebei. With the entrusted by the official from the port, the owner was quite polite.
In fact, even if there is no official introduction, monks with sects like Tianyou and others will generally be very popular on board the ship. After all, the Shenzhou Continent is not peaceful. There are governments in the ten countries and sect forces in the neutral areas, which is somewhat safer. Only these two waterways are completely in the three-door zone. Moreover, there are not only bandits, but also monsters in the water, so it can be said that it is quite dangerous.
It is precisely because waterway transportation is very dangerous that it can always increase the safety of some monks who can travel with them. Of course, this article is only for monks from sects, especially those from Zixiao Palace like Tianyou and others. As for those casual cultivators... the ship owners are still afraid that this person is a bandit accomplice, so no one introduces him, but they dare not let them get on the ship casually.
Tianyou took the token of King Chu, and the officials in charge of the dock naturally attached great importance to it. He specially found them a relatively luxurious ship. The ship was naturally stable and safer. The only problem may be that the speed was a little slower. However, the distance was not very far, so Tianyou and the others didn't care too much.
Because they had to wait for loading, Tianyou and the others waited until midnight before setting off. This was the case where officials gave the green light to the ship to please Tianyou and the others, so that they could load the ship first. If the general process is followed, the ship would have to dock at the dock for at least three days before they set off. After all, it is an era when everything depends on manpower, and it is impossible to compare with a modern container unmanned wharf. Even if it can be loaded in three days, the organization and dispatching capabilities here are very good.
Tianyou and the others didn't have to worry about driving the boat, and the owner also specially sent everyone's food. In return, Tianyou took the initiative to go to the stern of the boat to catch fish for a while, but he pulled up a fish monster weighing more than 300 pounds.
To be honest, if there weren’t too many dangerous creatures, the environment on the Shenzhou Continent would be really not boasted, and rich products would be conservative.
The fish monster became their staple food the next day. It took two days for the boat to get the big guy. The chef on the boat was also very powerful. He changed his tricks and asked them to try more than a dozen different fish meals, two of which were particularly suited to Tianyou's appetite. For this reason, he went to the chef to ask for advice.
Because they were sailing against the current, their speed was always close to about two knots. Tianyou and the others walked for three days before they arrived at Yuexi Ferry. Then they passed by Yuexi Ferry on the right bank in the morning and saw Sandalwood Ferry on the left bank in the afternoon. However, their boat did not need to dock here, so they drove directly.
After the merchant ship crossed Sandalwood Ferry, there was a very long straight channel with cliffs on both sides. Walking in the middle was like sailing between two high walls, which felt a special feeling of depression. In fact, this section was indeed not very peaceful.
On the left side of the river is the East Corridor Mountain, which is completely an unmanned land, and is a place where there are more monsters than people. On the right side of the river is also a mountain, which is slightly shorter, but it is also rarely visited. The only small number of residents are basically water bandits.
In fact, what makes the ship owners more annoyed is the narrowness of this river channel.
The narrow river channel causes the water flow to rise. When the ship goes downstream, it is unsafe to speed too fast. When the ship goes upstream, the speed is extremely slow due to excessive resistance. Anyway, this environment is quite unfriendly to the ship. However, the ship owners rely on the Yellow River to make a living. Even if they don’t like this environment, there is no way. They can only make as much money as possible and then change to a better ship.
The ship that Tianyou and the others were riding on gave them a surprise after passing through Sandalwood Ferry.
"You actually have thrusters?" Looking at the ship's retracted sails and the obvious advancement tracks behind, Tianyou was really shocked.
Pang Dahai was also surprised and said, "Why don't you use such a good thing?"
The ship owner also smiled helplessly. "This device was specially customized by us for Shenjimen. It is expensive and consumes spirit stones. Except for some special channels, we generally don't want to use it. The previous channel happened to be where the Yellow River turns, and it is easy to cause accidents. Moreover, Sandalwood Ferry and Yuexi Ferry are important ports. There are too many ships on the water surface and they have to slow down, so it has never been useful. Now this section of the river is a little narrow, but they are all straight lines. Moreover, the water bandits and monsters are very dangerous. It can be reduced to a little danger if you can pass as soon as possible. Using this propeller is not a waste."
Tianyou, who was considering the cost, certainly understood, but he didn't care about it. Now he was thinking about it and quickly to see what this propeller was. You should know that this thing is a psychic machine, which is a rare reference sample for Tianyou.
The ship owner did not refuse Tianyou's request for visiting, but told Tianyou not to break it. After all, this thing is said to be more expensive than a ship. If it is damaged, it will be a loss for the ship owner.
Of course, Tianyou agreed and then followed the owner to the cabin excitedly.
At first, Tianyou thought he would see a set of modern thruster sets driven by psychic energy, but when he waited to the bottom of the ship, he realized... This is really a steamer!
The power source for this ship is indeed a psychic machinery, but its propulsion method... is actually a huge impeller that drives water forward, just like the pedal boat in the park. How much power does this lose? Sure enough, there is still a huge difference between the Shenzhou Continent and the Earth. Even for the Shenji Sect, which specializes in mechanical techniques and psychic machinery, all the skill points are pointed in strange directions. As for mechanical structure... they are really only at the primary school level.
After reading the impeller for propulsion, Tianyou began to study the most important psychic drive. This thing will theoretically be a motor, but it uses not electricity but psychic energy, but... the operating settings cannot be disassembled and the internal structure cannot be seen. These guys from the Divine Machine Door have not learned anything else, and the technology is confidential. The outside of the power output device is obviously packaged with a special structure, and Tianyou can't find any screws or tenon structures at all. Anyway, they can't find a place to disassemble.
If the thing belongs to him, Tianyou can of course use some slightly violent disassembly method. However, this thing belongs to someone else, and Tianyou is not really broken, so he has no choice but to give up his research on this thing. Anyway, if you have the chance in the future, you can go directly to Shenjimen. Maybe they also like technical communication, but it may be correct.
Although the impeller propulsion method is quite unscientific, it is a motorized ship after all, which is much faster than a sailing ship. Along the way, Tianyou and his ship turned into a supercar, constantly surpassing other ships ahead. The owner of the ship would stand at the bow of the ship and say hello to others, looking at his proud look, showing his boat running fast.
Of course, it is indeed worth showing off with this speed. After all, the average speed of all the upstream ships in the river is basically between one or two knots, and even small clutches can only barely maintain a speed of more than two knots. However, the ship that Tianyou and the others are riding can still run at a speed of 5 knots while going upstream, which is definitely a very proud result. No wonder the ship owner is so arrogant. He does have the capital to show off.
Thanks to the higher speed, the ship took Tianyou and the others to the vicinity of Tieling County in three and a half days.
There was originally a ferry near the river in Tieling County, but due to disrepair, there were only a bunch of wooden pieces left. Moreover, the slowing and acceleration of such a large merchant ship was very time-consuming and energy-consuming, so Tianyou did not let the ship dock or slow down, but asked the owner to sail as close to the river bank as possible. Later, Tianyou and Pang Dahai used their hands to set up personal ladders, and Hu Qingxuan and Hu Niu jumped directly from the ship to the shore.
This crossing distance is certainly impossible for normal people, but it is not a problem for Hu Niu and Hu Qingxuan, and it is even very easy.
Later, Xiaomei Qi was also sent to the land in the same way, and the remaining two men, Pang Dahai and Tianyou, were directly transported to the ashore by Kangfeng, which was also the most convenient method.
After leaving home for more than a year and returning to his hometown, Xiaomei Qi became a little silent. A year ago, she was still a god... This girl seemed to have never been naive. In short, Xiaomei Qi was a cute girl more than a year ago, but now she has become a semi-zombie, and the changes are indeed quite big.
Leaving the pier that was already in a semi-desolate state, several people walked towards Tieling Village. Tianyou originally thought that Xiaomei Qi came back to meet the villagers or something, but in fact, Xiaomei Qi's reaction was very strange. Before she landed, she was missing her, but after she got ashore, she became silent. As she got closer and closer to the village, Xiaomei Qi's emotions gradually became expectant.
However, when she was about to arrive in the village, Qi Xiaomei's mood suddenly fell again, and she directly entered the gloomy mode.
Tianyou didn't know exactly what Qi Xiaomei's mental journey was going on, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while. She could only follow her and let her decide what to do afterwards.
Sure enough, as she actually entered the village, Qi Xiaomei's reaction also changed. She did not run back to the villagers to reminisce about the past as Tianyou thought. Of course, there were actually not a few people left here. Tieling Village was already a monster. After the last incident, many of the remaining people chose to stay in the big town, and there were very few people left. But Qi Xiaomei still did not choose to go back. As if she wanted to deliberately avoid the people she knew, she even chose a path around the main road in the village and walked around the village.
Tianyou analyzed the reaction of Qi Xiaomei and finally understood some ideas.
Expecting her hometown is a normal human nature, and the gloom afterwards was probably because the distance was approaching, the fact that her hometown was actually no longer crowded. In the end, Tianyou felt that on the one hand, she was avoiding her sad experience, and on the other hand, it was also out of inferiority. Now, Xiaomei Qi can no longer be considered a human. She is a semi-zombie, and she can no longer be considered a complete person in physical and psychological terms. Therefore, she developed inferiority complex and did not want people she knew in the past to know that she had become like this now. Even the villagers could not tell whether she was a zombie or a human, even though her slender and well-proportioned figure and fair skin even made her look better. But inferiority complex is inferiority complex, and she will not change anything due to her own conditions.
He didn't plan to persuade Qi Xiaomei to choose Tianyou to respect her. Although Qi Xiaomei followed Tianyou, Tianyou did not regard her as a demon pet. For Tianyou, Qi Xiaomei was his junior sister, and she was the kind of junior sister who was closest to him. Tianyou respected her ideas, and when Qi Xiaomei needed her, he would give her an arm that she could rely on in time.
After walking around the village, the person who was walking in front suddenly stopped. "Senior brother, I want to go and see grandma."
Tianyou nodded, then patted Qi Xiaomei on the shoulder. Qi Xiaomei didn't say anything, turned around and pushed towards the mountain next to her, completed the worship in the cemetery, and turned back to the main road and walked towards Anshan County. During the whole process, Qi Xiaomei remained silent throughout the whole process, and Tianyou didn't say anything. The guy Pang Dahai seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth when he saw the atmosphere, so he could only remain silent in the end.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Pan Dahai finally couldn't help asking, "Are we taking out the spirit cavalry? I'm either anxious or looking at the sky, if I don't rush to the town in front, I can only sleep in the mountains and forests!"
Tianyou also felt that this would not work, so he quickly caught up with Xiaomei Qi in front of him, and then reached out to hold her.
The little girl Qi who was pulled was a little lost. She turned around and looked at Tianyou with a little confusion. Her expression looked very much like the girl without any other. Although she was cute, she was so painful that she was unexpectedly distressing.
To be continued...
