I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 18 Demon: Thick Fog

"This feeling is very powerless and uncomfortable, right?"

"I killed the demon in her body out of kindness, but ended up being the culprit that caused her death."

"This is... the Devil!"

As the night deepened, the official road covered with wild grass and rugged rocks became more and more dark, with a thin, gauze-like mist floating in the darkness.

A sigh was heard among the shadows.

Li Ji clenched the long black sword in his hand and turned his head suddenly.

I saw the old Taoist Xuanxiao, who was wearing a lotus crown, a green Taoist robe, and had white hair and beard, gradually walking out from the mist.

Behind him, the sturdy Yellow Turban warrior, covered in blood and with a ferocious face, threw the crushed Taoist boy away with ease.

"What does this mean, Taoist priest?"

Li Ji looked directly at Taoist Xuan Xiao.

"Demons are born from the distortion of human desires."

Taoist Xuan Xiao looked pale as he continued, "For example, Miss Song must have died when she saw that pale-faced scholar slaughtering her relatives! The one who survived was nothing more than a demon born from the extremely twisted desire!"

"Can't understand!"

Li Ji's words were cold.

Taoist Xuan Xiao's expression froze involuntarily, and the serious and depressing atmosphere of the Riddler was instantly washed away and shattered.

He looked at Li Ji with some surprise.

Because Li Ji is now burly, with bulging muscles, veins twisted like dragons, and his upper body naked, his whole body exudes surging energy and blood that is like a volcano suppressing and hiding.

The momentum is terrifying and powerful!
He is definitely not an ignorant person!

But he didn't know about the devil? This is simply unbelievable!
Taoist Xuan Xiao was silent for a while, carefully considered his words, and then spoke.

"The newly born demon hides his body, waiting for the transformation to be complete."

"If the demon successfully transforms, it can take over the magpie's nest and replace him; or intercept a deep memory, break free from the constraints of the flesh, and become that person!"

"If the demon has not completed its transformation and dies due to external forces, the host will also disappear into ashes, and vice versa."

"This is the reason why the Great Yan Dynasty fell into such a dangerous situation. It is also the basis of the disaster, and it is also what we call... the devil's disaster!"

Words of compassion.

Explaining the cold reality.

Li Ji's mind raced, and combined with what he had seen and heard in recent days, he naturally understood what Taoist Xuan Xiao meant.

For example, between the two Zhao Xuns, one of them is probably a demon who wants to usurp the throne!
For example, the twisted pale-faced scholar behind Song Yu is not a ghost, but a demon, who stole Song Yu's love and resentment for the original pale-faced scholar!

"I guess the Taoist priest came here specially not just to solve the confusion in my heart, right?"

Li Ji said.

"Of course not. I came here because I realized that you have the power to slay demons and monsters, so I specially invited you to escape with me!"

Taoist Xuan Xiao said seriously with a pale face.

I saw his skinny hand suddenly raised up.

boom!
A fireball suddenly appeared between the palms. It was only the size of a fist, but the high temperature caused the air to distort.

Li Ji's eyes flashed, and he instantly sensed a great crisis, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

Whoosh!
The fireball in Taoist Xuanxiao's palm rose up, dispersing the mist, and stood in the night sky, shining like the sun.

The flames spread across the sky, dispelling the mist and darkness.

At the same time, it also illuminates the official road at this moment.

All I saw was the official road covered with weeds, and bloody, twisted, and terrifying demon shadows emanating from black air were wandering around.

"Anyone who harms me must die!"

"Bitch, I'm coming to find you!" "Mom, my daughter is so scared. It's so dark here. My daughter is so scared!"

"..."

Madness, whispers, roars, echoing continuously.

A large number of people died in their sleep, and only a few were scattered in the weeds, hiding in the weeds, shivering, covering their mouths and noses in fear, looking up at the flames that suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, with hope and desire in their eyes.

Zhao Xun and the constables were also hiding in the weeds not far away, feeling shocked, angry, terrified and in a very embarrassed state.

"Would you like to accompany me?"

Taoist Xuan Xiao continued, "Now that the demonic disaster has begun, all the demons and monsters on the official road and in the fog have been alarmed and will inevitably be attracted here. If we deal with the demons and monsters that block the way and stay on the road, we can greatly increase our chances of escaping."

"Why did the Taoist priest choose me?"

Li Ji looked puzzled and continued, "The Taoist priest has great magical powers and profound Taoist methods. He is also protected by the Yellow Turban Warriors. Even if he is traveling alone, he should be fine. Why do you still have to patiently explain to me and waste your time? Why do you still need me?"

When Taoist Xuan Xiao heard this, his face froze, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "In this chaotic situation, it is right for you to be on guard. As for why I need you to accompany me, it is because there may be greater dangers ahead, and I am afraid I will get lost if I go alone."

"What danger?"

Li Ji frowned.

Taoist Xuan Xiao moved his lips and was about to say something.

Suddenly.

Taoist Xuan Xiao suddenly shuddered all over.

The fireball in the night sky was eroding at an unusual speed, the warm yellow halo rapidly decreasing and then completely extinguishing.

At this moment, the night became increasingly dark.

The light mist like gauze around became thicker and thicker, floating in the darkness, cold and silent, without a single sound.

"They are coming. I will tell you more about them on the road!"

Taoist Xuanxiao was tense all over. He ordered the Yellow Turban warriors to capture Zhao Xun and the constables, and then rushed into the thick fog.

Li Ji hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, and his fingers gripping the black scabbard made the scabbard clang because he was holding it too tightly.

He opened his eyes wide and tried to look around, but he saw nothing. There was only fog in his vision.

“It’s this weird atmosphere again, where I feel so insignificant and powerless!”

Li Ji clenched his teeth.

In the end, he still rushed into the fog and chased in the direction of Taoist Xuan Xiao.

I just took a few steps.

Then I heard laughter and roaring coming from the place covered by thick fog at the back. The sound became louder and louder, as if it was coming from a demon.

He was so excited that his hair stood on end, goose bumps appeared all over his body, his back felt cold and his hair stood on end.

"Grass!"

Li Ji cursed viciously.

Subconsciously, I turned my head and looked back.

It seems that only by doing this can I offset the fear in my heart that is becoming more and more uneasy as time goes by.

"Don't look back!"

At this moment, the trembling and extremely terrified voice of Taoist Xuan Xiao came from the front.

"I'm afraid that what we've attracted this time aren't just those demons and monsters, there's also the indescribable horror hidden in the fog."

Li Ji resisted the urge to turn back.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat.

At this moment, what kind of monster is hidden in the thick fog that is sweeping in that would make Taoist Xuan Xiao feel so frightened and terrified?
