Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 644 Traces [Update 86th]

After Li Shifan heard this, he followed silently, and the two of them quickly shuttled forward.

As we continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the edge entrance, the fog gradually began to form around us, getting thicker and thicker. The heavy fog had a natural mesmerizing effect and had a strong impact on Zhang Deming's perception.

In desperation, Zhang Deming continued to shrink his senses, and the detection distance became smaller and smaller. As the surroundings became darker and darker, until finally, both of them could only rely on pure eyes to explore.

Suddenly, while moving forward, Zhang Deming dodged sideways, and Li Shifan on the side also instantly struck with his sword.

"Ding!"

The long sword hit a dark metal arm-like thing, sparks flashing. After Zhang Deming dodged the attack, he also waved his hand and a long sword shot out.

"Pfft!"

"chirp..."

As a strange sound rang out, Zhang Deming's long sword pierced the target's vital point, and penetrated and nailed it not far away. The opponent struggled for a few times and then made no sound.

The two of them took a few steps forward before they were able to see the monster in full view. After seeing it clearly, they frowned slightly.

Even though Li Shifan has been in the Hengduan Mountains for many years and is very familiar with the types of monsters, he still asked in confusion: "What the hell is this? A monkey? An evil ghost?"

In front of them, they saw a huge, weird creature. It was two to three meters tall. It was three-quarters like a monkey, but its whole body was dark. Four of them were very slender and had ghost claws.

The body and head are slightly stronger, with diamond-shaped spikes that look like black metal growing everywhere. The head has a devil-like face, and there are even more diamond-shaped spikes on the head.

Zhang Deming didn't know what this thing was, so he asked the monitoring elf to call up the database and conduct a careful analysis.

After waiting for a moment, Zhang Deming was stunned by the analysis results of the monitoring elf.

"It seems like Demon Race?!" Zhang Deming replied.

Yes, after analyzing it, the monitoring elf concluded that this monster is more than 60% likely to be Demon Race.

"Demon Race?" Li Shifan was confused for a moment, and then said in surprise: "The Demon Race who is said to be fond of cannibalizing the human race, almost annihilating the human race, and prematurely ending the battles among major civilizations in the Second Age?"

Zhang Deming nodded and said: "Yes!"

"No, doesn't the legend say that the demons seduced the Demon Ancestor to fall, and then united with the Azure Dragon clan of the Four Sacred Beasts to eventually wipe out the entire Demon Race civilization? As a result, future generations of demons were born!

Even if the legend is true, in the legend the entire Demon Race civilization has disappeared and the demon ancestors have been completely extinct! How is it possible for Demon Race to survive? "Li Shifan said in confusion.

Demon Race: Their civilization is similar to that of the Vampire Clan, which is also based on blood origin. The closer the bloodline is to the ancestor, the stronger it is, the better the talent, the stronger the cultivation level, and vice versa.

Of course, there is also the unified weakness of the race civilization of the blood ancestor. The origin of the entire bloodline controls the lifeline of the entire civilization. Once the origin ancestor dies, the entire civilization will disappear.

Not only that, all the demonic cultivators and demonic ways in later generations are named after this, because demons are the first race in Hongmeng to feed on humans!

Therefore, the presence of ‘demons’ in human civilization represents extreme evil.

Zhang Deming looked around at the surrounding environment and said, "Maybe it's because of the strange environment here!"

"Brother, you mean..." Li Shifan looked at Zhang Deming in surprise and said hesitantly: "This is the Late Stage of the Second Age, a major battlefield of civilized wars, the place where the Demon Race died?"

"Who knows!" Zhang Deming threw out several spiritual seeds with a flash of light in his hand, and some blood-red vines began to appear on the dark demon body.

As the vines swayed, before Zhang Deming could draw blood, black lines appeared on the blood-red vines. Zhang Deming also felt a strong corrosive force, trying to invade his body according to the spell and tamper with the essence of his body.

His expression changed slightly, his mind fluctuated, he canceled the spell, and the vines shattered and disappeared in an instant.

"Be careful, these are really Demon Race bloodline species. Although they are no longer pure due to the extinction of Demon Race civilization, they are still highly corrosive. If they are corroded, they can easily become possessed and go crazy and destroy their ways!" Zhang Deming looked at it! At this scene, he opened his mouth to remind.

"Yes, I understand!" Li Shifan nodded seriously.

After experiencing this brief interlude, the two of them became more vigilant as they moved forward. From time to time they would encounter such strange creatures, but most of them were not strong.

Although there is no such thing as cultivation level, the strength can still be compared. The strongest one they met was comparable to a monster in the third talent stage.

······

In this way, the two of them cautiously moved forward for most of the day.

Because there was no detailed map and the surrounding environment, the two of them could only roughly follow the direction in the information.

After half a day, they roughly estimated that the distance they had penetrated was almost the same, and then they began to carefully search for the specific location.

The enchanting effect of the surrounding fog was already very strong, and the two of them did not dare to detect it at will, otherwise they would be easily affected and lose their direction. I could only rely on my eyes to search the entire area.

For a moment, Zhang Deming suddenly frowned, looked at Li Shifan and asked, "How long has it been since I encountered a monster?"

Li Shifan recalled it and said: "It's been half an hour. I should have encountered several before..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang Deming inquiringly with some joy.

Zhang Deming nodded and said: "Looking at it this way, we found the right place, it should be in this area.

After all, the Soul Tomb of the Soul Refining Demon Soul Jade can draw vitality from all living creatures. If there are no monsters here, the creatures should avoid them instinctively, or they should be cleaned out directly. "

After confirming their idea, the two became more motivated and quickly searched the rock forest.

For a moment, the two people's expressions changed slightly, and they both stopped and looked ahead.

As the two stopped and the fog rolled in front of them, a woman suddenly rushed out. She looked at the two and said with great joy: "Two Fellow Daoists, help!"

Zhang Deming and Li Shifan looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces. When the woman got close, they almost drew out their swords at the same time. Li Shifan thrust his sword into the other's chest, while Zhang Deming swung his sword and thrust it into the other's neck.

"Giggle...why?" The woman's throat was covered in blood and her speech was unclear.

As she spoke, her face was full of despair, and she looked at the two strangers who suddenly attacked her with disbelief. Her face was full of confusion and confusion, and there was blood bleeding from the corner of her mouth, which showed a bit of weakness and poignancy, paired with her expression. A beautiful face that makes people pity her.

Zhang Deming's face was full of weirdness. Li Shifan looked at the beautiful woman very close to him, turned his head to look at Zhang Deming, and said:

"Don't they all say that the spirit of the demon fox is a naturally charming ghost, and it can be charming by instinct? Why are you so stupid? In such a poor place, if you don't kill it, you can still act as a hero to save the beauty?

And monster, your style of clothes is a bit old, you should change it, otherwise you can only deceive some old guys who look young but are very nostalgic! "

Upon hearing this, Zhang Deming also shook his head and said: "It should be because this place is isolated from the world. It seems that it has been eroded by demonic energy and has become a resentful soul-like existence. It does not have the agility and self-awareness of ordinary demon souls. .”

Zhang Deming spoke while looking at the beautiful woman. Li Shifan also nodded in agreement, obviously the two wanted to go together.

Seeing the two people who were unmoved, the woman in front of her suddenly turned into a two-tailed fox with black and red hair. The fox's figure was a bit illusory, and it was obviously a soul.

"Ding Dong······"

After the fox soul appeared, the two long swords piercing through it fell directly to the ground. She snarled at Li Shifan, and wanted to pounce on Li Shifan.

But when Zhang Deming's spiritual light surged, the fox froze, and some dreamy and unreal vines appeared on his body.

As the vines swam, the fox's body began to fluctuate unsteadily, and she struggled violently. There was no effect for a long time, and finally turned into green smoke and disappeared.

"Ding!"

When the fox dissipated, a strange jade stone, like a soul crystal, fell out of it. In the jade stone, a two-tailed fox demon entangled with vines came to life.

Zhang Deming waved his hand to look at the jade, nodded, and said, "It's really the soul refining jade, it seems that there is nothing wrong here!"

Seeing this, Li Shifan also showed some joy, as long as he found the right place.

The Soul of the Demon Fox: It is a strange creature, no, it should be between living things and spirit materials.

It has no necessary relationship with the fox clan. The fox soul body is just that they look like a fox, not the soul of the fox demon.

Just like plantains and bananas, they look the same, but they are not the same kind.

In ancient times, they had another name called Charming Monster.

They belong to the list of mountain spirits and ghosts, but they can't, or they rarely give birth to consciousness, to be precise, autonomous consciousness.

After being conceived from the soul-refining demon soul jade material, the accompanying demon fox soul naturally has the ability to charm, transforming living beings, charming and devouring living beings to breed and hammer jade.

Among them, I especially like the human race, because the human soul essence has a very obvious effect on refining the demon soul jade.

Because their image was too similar to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and their talents were somewhat similar, in ancient times, the Nine-Tailed Clan was blamed for this, which polarized the reputation of the Nine-Tailed Clan.

If they can turn into spirits, that's all. Maybe the fox clan will classify them as a special spirit fox clan.

However, they can't. Seeing that they are as intelligent as ordinary fox demons, they are even born knowing it, and they are born knowing how to transform and how to charm.

But like a resentful ghost, he lives and wanders in a specific environment day and night.

Only when someone or food appears in its perception, will it wake up, and the whole mode of action is no different from some innocent souls.

In other words, they are a kind of special grievances and resentful ghosts born with nature!

And they have a characteristic, they are rarely bred alone, in other words, they are also considered a strange and precious soul mine. Like most jade, it appears in pieces!

Like most of the spirit jade veins, there is chalcedony, and the chalcedony of the mine that refines the demon soul jade is the God Stone. Its quality and how much depends on the quality and size of the vein!

······

Zhang Deming put away the jade, the two looked at each other, and groped towards the direction where the woman came from.

The fog here seems to be unusually large, and the enchantment effect is also surprisingly strong, as if it has been compressed. Even if Zhang Deming has absorbed his mind and senses, he cannot detect it at all, and his consciousness is also in a trance.

While the spiritual shield shone, he barely maintained his forward direction without being affected.

After a moment, the surrounding fog suddenly cleared. Zhang Deming and Li Shifan also looked blank, looking at the scenery in front of them in a daze.

In front of them, they saw a huge valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters. On both sides of the valley was a forest. On one side of the forest, a towering huge ancient tree covered half of the area.

In the middle of the canyon, there is a grassy plain with birds singing and flowers fragrant. In the center of the plain, there is a clear message. The grass is luxuriant and the breeze is gentle. It is simply a fairyland-like place.

But when a place like this appears in a ghost forest like this, something seems wrong.

Even if there is no fog around, the thick fog in the entire area is compressed to the surroundings, forming a natural contrast with the dense fog-shrouded cliff forest behind them.

"This... Soul Refining Tomb has affected the environment? So this is a soul nest?" Li Shifan said.

Zhang Deming also showed a little joy. The soul nest of the multi-tailed demon fox soul is the vein of the soul-refining demon soul jade. On this scale, it is definitely bred with the God-killing Stone, and there is at least a full copy!

Otherwise, this scale cannot be raised!

"Giggle..."

"whee······"

"Ha ha······"

At this time, a string of laughter like silver bells came from a distance. Looking into the distance, there seemed to be a group of beautiful women playing and fighting on the lush grass in the distance.

Zhang Deming, whose thoughts were flickering, came back to his senses in an instant. Under the fluctuation of the hidden breath technique, the air around his body fluctuated slightly, covering Zhang Deming and Li Shifan, causing their bodies to disappear.

The two of them carefully drifted towards the depths of the grass. As they drifted closer, they gradually saw the source of the sound.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen women on the grass. As they chase and fight, they seem to be living a carefree life, far away from the troubles of the world.

The only difference from humans is that they all have tails. Some women have three fox tails on their backs, some have two, some have four. Zhang Deming even saw a woman with five fox tails.

If it weren't for his previous experience, if he suddenly came here directly, Zhang Deming might have thought that this was a place where the Nine-Tailed Clan lived. No wonder they often take the blame!

But if you watch a few people carefully over time, you will find that when each of them is disturbed, they are definitely following a certain pattern and mechanically repeating their lives.

To use an analogy, it is like an NPC village without players entering the village. No matter how complex and intelligent the setting is, it will never be able to escape the template.
