The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 289 New Talent

Silent beasts are people's nickname for this evil monster. They also have many other nicknames, such as soul flayers, brain suckers, death demon cats, etc.

For humans, even monsters that are ten times more powerful in frontal combat are not as dangerous or terrifying as the silent beasts.

Guanyin Cave is a temple composed of half building and half cave. A large part of the temples go deep into the mountains, winding and mysterious. This makes the style of Guanyin Cave unique in the entire Jiangnan region.

But it is precisely this unique architectural feature that makes the monks in Guanyin Cave almost powerless to resist when facing the silent beast, or it should be said that they have no chance to escape.

Liang Chang led people to Guanyin Cave, and what they saw was a panicked escape made up of dead bodies.

Countless corpses were placed in the aisles one after another in the posture of fugitives. In front of the porch, a horrifying scene of despair was painted.

Maybe others just thought the atmosphere at the death scene was a bit weird and gloomy, but as a veteran demon suppressor, Liang Chang felt the danger hidden behind this silent terror at the first sight.

He ordered everyone not to disperse, and then began to examine the body of the deceased.

Surprisingly, the twisted faces of the deceased all had expressions of horror, but no obvious wounds could be found on their bodies. Only when they reached the corpses of some monks did the demon-suppressing people discover that there was a small wound the size of a bean on the top of their bare heads. The wound did not bleed much and did not look ferocious.

Liang Chang then ordered his companions to check the heads of all the dead bodies to see if they had similar wounds on their heads.

The result was as expected, all the dead were like this.

At this time, a demon-suppressor suddenly shouted: "Zhang Fu! Where is Zhang Fu?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all stood up and looked around, only to see a companion shouting there. Another demon-suppressor looked around for a while in fear and said: "Zhang Fu was still behind me before. In the blink of an eye, Then he disappeared. I just thought he went somewhere else!"

Everyone's expressions became very ugly. Liang Chang's son Liang Zai shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and find him! How will I face his wife, children and children if I lose Zhang Fu!"

Liang Chang glanced at his son, but added: "Three people are in a group, don't be alone! This place is quite weird!"

Everyone did as they were told.

Liang Zai came close to Liang Chang and whispered: "Dad, I feel something is wrong!"

Liang Chang whispered: "It's not just you, no one is a fool! Everyone can feel the weirdness here! All the corpses showed no signs of resistance, which means that everyone's heart has been completely destroyed. Now! I'm worried that this time we're going to face a terrifying powerful demon! Get your demon bones ready!"

The so-called demon-suppressing bone is the corpse of the dead Emperor Ji. This thing is an unparalleled weapon for demon-suppressing people to fight against psychic enemies.

It's a pity that there are too few Emperor Ji, and their bones after death are also extremely scarce, and this thing is still a consumable. If a piece of demon-suppressing bone is used too much, it will gradually weather and shatter, and eventually be completely scattered into ashes.

Even in Hangzhou, one of the largest cities in the entire Jiangnan region, all the demon-suppressing people possess only two demon-suppressing bones.

One of them is a precious heritage passed down from the pre-Tang Dynasty, and the other is a treasure obtained by the Qian family when they returned to their clan and were rewarded by the Song Dynasty court.

The demon-conquering bone in Liang Chang's hand is a relic of the former Tang Dynasty. It was once a handleless dagger made from a piece of forearm bone that was more than a foot long. However, after hundreds of years of consumption, now only a small dagger about an inch long is left. Cut off.

Following his father's instructions, Liang Zai immediately pulled out a slender sandalwood box from behind. He opened the box and revealed a wrapper of yellow silk.

Liang Chang bowed three times to the yellow silk cloth, and then peeled off the wrapping layer by layer, finally revealing a palm-sized purse, which contained the Demon-Conquering Bone.

He looked at his son who had a look of disgust on his face, but said: "Yuanhou (Liang Zai's nickname), as my father, I hope you can understand the truth, that you should do everything within your ability. You can't even adapt to the demon-suppressing bone. From now on, How to face my daughter! That child is born sensitive, and you can’t hide any of your thoughts from her. Fortunately, Shen Jun has already arrived in Hangzhou, and having him take care of my mother and daughter, there must be something wrong. "

Liang Zai frowned and said: "Dad, Xiao Yu'er is the only one who can do it, why should we let Alian go with Shenjun again?"

Liang Chang hung the purse on his chest and said to Liang Zai: "Confused! My daughter is not yet one year old, how can she be separated from her mother?! You must not miss important events because of the affairs of some children!"

Liang Zai was unhappy, but Liang Chang didn't take it seriously, and said: "Follow me closely, the range of the Demon-Conquering Bone's power is now less than three feet. If I get too far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!"

The two of them were talking as they walked towards the main hall of Guanyin Cave. After walking only a short distance, Liang Zai suddenly said: "Dad, where are the others? How come they can't hear any movement?!"

Liang Chang was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Zheng Mi! Tao Xing! Gu Bao..."

He called out the names of his demon-suppressing companions one by one, but unfortunately, no one responded to him. The father and son couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions became extremely ugly.

Liang Chang said: "Let's go! I'll exit first!"

Liang Zai had no objection, and soon the two of them retreated to the entrance of Guanyin Cave.

At this time, Liang Chang was guarding the door with a short spear, but he said to Liang Zai: "Yuanhou, please go back to Liang's home to find Lord Si Ming and ask him to help me cut off the evil spirits. I will stay here just in case."

Liang Zai argued: "Dad, if I stay here, you go and invite the Lord God!"

Liang Chang frowned and said, "How can you hold on to this place if you can't adapt to the Demonic Bones? Don't make any noise, just go!"

Liang Zai heard this, but said nothing, turned around and ran away quickly.

After Liang Zai walked away, Liang Chang turned around and waved the short gun unconsciously, but suddenly he touched something.

He was startled, but saw the air in front of him swaying like ripples, and then a big cat walking upright appeared.

Liang Chang exclaimed: "Death-killing cat demon?!"

The big cat grinned its triangular mouth, revealing its slender tongue. It probed in front of Liang Chang's body, but showed a look of disgust. Then it burst like a bubble, but disappeared again. .

Liang Chang knew he was in trouble this time!

The invisible and silent figure circled Liang Chang several times, but in the end it did not attack him.

But Liang Chang was not relieved, but became even more annoyed.

He knew that the monster was aimed at his son Liang Zai.

This monster has a very strange characteristic. If it is allowed to go on its own, it will always circle around within a certain range and cannot go further. But when a creature leaves beside them, the monster will awaken its hunting and tracking instinct, and can find its prey even if it chases it to the ends of the earth.

If no one leaves Guanyin Cave, it will be extremely difficult for this monster to leave here, but Liang Zai's departure gave this monster a chance.

Once such a monster enters the city of Hangzhou, it will definitely become a terrifying nightmare. Even so, Liang Chang didn't dare to leave here to warn others, because he didn't know whether the monster had gone after Liang Zai, or had been waiting around for him to reveal his flaws.

Di Ji's power made Er Gou's sense of crisis a little dull. He was awakened from his sleep by the Liang family's daughter's saliva.

The little guy nibbled on Ergou's nose several times.

If possible, Ergou really didn't want to wake up, lest he face some unbearable embarrassment.

Before that, the curse of misfortune had already exhausted Ergou, so after receiving the protection of Di Ji's power, he suddenly relaxed his tense nerves, and the inexplicable fatigue made him find comfort in the attic. He fell asleep soundly in his position.

The problem is that when Ergou was sleeping soundly, Xiao Liang held the baby in his arms. Although this was just an uneasy mother looking for some sense of security and had no idea of ​​anything else, Ergou, this After all, the dog couldn't bear the temptation and made the mistake that any normal man would make.

I have to admit that Xiao Liang is really conscientious. Not only did he not resist Ergou, but he cooperated very well.

But this kind of offending the wife of the house is undoubtedly a humiliation to the owner of the place. Ergou doesn't know how to face the male owner of the Liang family.

After being nibbled awake by the little one, Ergou could not continue to pretend to be stupid. He stood up and picked up the little girl of the Liang family, and handed it to Xiao Liang who had gotten up early and packed her clothes. He cupped his fists and bowed, saying to her: " Madam, please forgive me for being innocent. I did not mean to offend your dignity! If there is any guilt, I am willing to bear the responsibility tenfold."

Xiao Liang said in a low voice: "No official, please don't be upset. This child of the slave family is lonely and helpless, and lacks the protection of a good person like you. I don't have much reward from the slave family, but I only ask for the comfort of these beautiful flowers and willows." The officials can take care of Xiao Yuer with all their heart!"

Just as Ergou was about to speak, a hurried voice sounded outside the attic: "Shenjun, help me quickly! Shenjun, help me!"

Ergou and Xiao Liang were both shocked. Ergou asked Xiao Liang to hide in the house holding the child. He picked up a short gun and walked out of the attic, only to see a young and strong man holding a broadsword and heading towards him anxiously. Visiting in the pavilion.

Ergou shouted and asked, "Who are you? But you came here to take a peek!"

When the man saw the two dogs, he was overjoyed and shouted: "I am Liang Zai, the young master of this place! My father Liang Chang ordered me to come to the Lord God for help!"

When Ergou heard this person's identity, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, but his face did not show it, and asked: "I don't know what happened, but Liang Gong sent you to find me?"

However, Liang Zai recounted his group's experience of exploring Guanyin Cave.

Ergou and Liang Zai said: "I can't turn a blind eye to such things, but I have to... be careful!"

The two dogs were halfway through speaking when they saw a conical tongue suddenly and silently poke out from the air and shoot straight towards the back of Liang Zai's head.

The two dogs had no time to do anything else, so they could only use their spiritual power to drag Liang Zai away. However, they managed to dodge the fatal cone tongue attack, but Liang Zai's back was silently covered with streaks of blood. bloody mouth.

Ergou shouted angrily: "What a thief! How dare you hurt anyone here!"

He only radiated his spiritual energy, but could not find any trace of the enemy.

This is really unusual.

Due to the unique nature of psychic energy, Ergouzao deliberately developed the power of psychic energy in a targeted manner. For example, he was quite unique in psychic exploration.

Now Ergou's maximum psychic detection range is about five kilometers, and its fine detection range is one hundred meters.

This so-called fine detection means that within this range, Ergou can even use his spiritual power to count the frequency of the wings of flying mosquitoes.

But now Ergou discovered that there didn't seem to be any abnormalities within his detailed exploration range.

But this is obviously impossible!

Because when Liang Zai and Ergou passed by each other, another attack appeared out of thin air, and the rapid-shooting awl came straight towards Liang Zai's face.

Ergou launched a psychic impact and directly scattered the cone tongue, and Liang Zai was also rushed back several steps by the aftermath of the impact.

The enemies are around, but Ergou's detection has no effect at all. No matter whether it is psychic power or naked eyesight, no problem can be found.

However, Ergou did not despair. While he ordered Liang Zai to continue retreating to the attic, he continued to release psychic shocks to the surroundings.

Gradually, as the psychic impact continued to wash away, Ergou finally discovered some traces of his opponent.

This is not because Ergou directly detected the enemy, but by observing the distribution of the psychic shock released by himself, he found that sometimes there was no corresponding aftermath of the psychic shock arriving at a certain location, or it was transmitted. The psychic ripples were too chaotic, as if they were disturbed by something.

This detection method is somewhat similar to the later water ripple positioning method, which detects the shape of water ripples through buoys in the water, and then locates and identifies ships existing on the sea.

Ergou spreads his psychic energy in the air in the form of three-dimensional ripples, and uses his fine psychic observation ability to identify it, which is similar to the water ripple positioning method.

Ergou discovered that there was always a certain unfixed area that was like an eraser, erasing all fluctuations within the range. It felt like a blank space.

As Ergou probed this unique situation in more detail, his detection results gradually became clearer.

After accurately locating the target's traces, Ergou did not take action immediately. Instead, he pretended to be ignorant and waved his short gun at the surrounding air, intentionally or unintentionally leaving the gap behind him to the enemy.

Interestingly, the monster did not attack Ergou's back directly, but also deliberately sent it under his gun blade twice, as if Ergou's blind cat had bumped into a dead mouse, and he happened to break the trace. .

However, the figure of the monster was not shown, but Ergou only felt the touch of the short gun hitting the real thing.

After the two sides played each other a few times, the monster finally got behind Ergou and shot a tapered tongue at the back of his head at high speed.

Unexpectedly, Ergou seemed to suddenly stumble and fell backwards, but he would avoid the enemy's attack. At the same time, Ergou shot him behind him.

The highly penetrating Liquan gun seemed to be pierced into the body of a cow. The touch was slightly greater than the resistance when stabbing into a human body.

Immediately afterwards, Ergou pulled out a machete from the void and slashed wildly at the place where the gun hit. Along with a scream like a cicada, a strange big cat appeared.

An angry scream echoed in Ergou's mind: "Cunning upright ape! How did you discover my traces?!"

Ergou sneered and said in his heart: "I didn't tell you about this monster!"

Just when he was about to cut off the head of the strange big cat with a knife, the [Tenth Life Reincarnation Chapter] in the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly reacted, prompting him to find a new talent extraction target.
