Fire Monster

Chapter 270 Black Ashes
"Look back? Is there any danger behind you?"

Zhao Guanshan was shocked. He turned around and faced everyone, so there was no one behind him. Then who was in danger?

Of course it's only him.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Zhao Guanshan did not look back. Instead, he directly activated the Imperial Seal Oil Lamp, shielding the enemy's perception and enhancing the friendly forces' perception!

I don’t know what other people saw in this state, but at this moment, Zhao Guanshan himself sensed a strange shadow with a long, thin mouthparts poking at his head.

But he didn't even dodge or resist, because it was too fast and he was too late.

Also, he is not alone.

In an instant, seven rays of light lit up, one after the other, and arrived first, attacking Zhao Guanshan at the moment when the strange shadow poked his head.

With one strike, the ghostly shadow was shattered and killed.

Those who took action included Wang Xuan and his four companions, as well as two powerful demon hunters from the Tianlong Taoist Palace.

In fact, any one of the seven of them has the ability to kill the ghost shadow, but the prerequisite is that they must sense the ghost shadow in advance and have enhanced perception. Otherwise, even if the ghost shadow flies past them, they will not be able to detect it.

In a word, they need high perception.

At this time, Zhao Guanshan was the first to turn off the imperial seal oil lamp, and everyone gathered around. They saw that the body of the ghost shadow fell to the ground, but it did not turn into white ashes, but turned into black ashes like Yu Lei just now.

"The thing that killed Yu Lei just now should be this thing. It's really strange that its ability to hide is so high that if it is not illuminated by the magic treasure, it can't even be detected."

Wang Xuan analyzed in a deep voice, and at the same time glanced at Zhao Chengfeng in surprise. Oh, this guy is indeed a bit unfathomable and completely unpredictable!
"Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, are you practicing the Lihuo Dao Talisman?"

"Correct."

"Then your spiritual treasure is very extraordinary. Do you need to replenish it with spiritual ash?" Wang Xuan asked enthusiastically at this time.

"Come on, Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, use my ash." A demon hunter from the Tianlong Taoist Palace who had just taken action hurriedly said. The ash bag can only hold one cubic meter of ash, which is just enough to replenish and cover the imperial seal oil lamp once. Everyone has witnessed this just now.

Now everyone no longer doubts Zhao Guanshan, and they understand that Zhao Guanshan is the key to getting them out of here, so how could they be stingy?

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist, but I still have some spiritual ashes now. When I run out of spiritual ashes, I will use yours."

After Zhao Guanshan finished speaking, he used up the ashes in his ash bag, and then said to everyone, "I think this black ashes may be another kind of ashes, so I plan to collect some. If anyone is interested, you can collect it together."

Everyone was tempted when they heard this, but they naturally would not compete with Zhao Guanshan for it at this time.

Sure enough, when Zhao Guanshan collected the black ashes transformed by the strange shadow, he found that except for the color, all other characteristics of this thing were almost exactly the same as white spiritual ashes.

He took out the ash javelin and tried to cover it to strengthen it. It actually worked successfully. The black ash covering the tip of the javelin looked particularly eerie.

"I feel like this is a higher quality ash."

Zhao Guanshan was not stingy and told everyone that one cannot enjoy all the benefits alone.

Next, everyone continued to move forward and prepared for battle. With the experience from previous times, I believe it will be very easy to kill that kind of ghost shadow again.

As a result, they walked for dozens of miles without any incident. Zhao Guanshan even turned back several times, but the result was the same. Until the front suddenly became clear, a wider and taller space appeared in the belly of the mountain.

There is no doubt that this should be the connection point of the three heads.

In the center of this place is a huge blood lake. In the blood lake, there is blood mist. A huge statue can be vaguely seen.

"Looking at the layout of this place, it's not much different from the Demon Suppression Tower. If I'm right, that statue is the Evil God! This is the one that's playing tricks on me."

Wang Xuan said in a cold voice, but just as he finished speaking, he heard a ding sound, as if something was knocked.

The next moment, blood mist spread out in the blood lake, and everyone retreated hurriedly, but only then did they realize that on the road behind them, countless gray figures were coming one after another. Before, they were just like numb sardines, crowded there, but now they were actually moving.

Wang Xuan thought that Zhao Guanshan had activated the imperial seal oil lamp.

Zhao Guanshan thought that Wang Xuan had activated his bell.

But they soon discovered that this was not the case at all. The dark figure that originally required ten times the perception to be seen, at this moment, here, they could actually see it clearly.

"Not good! Our perception has been forcibly enhanced. If this continues, we will be forcibly pulled into the Blood Lake Illusion! Everyone, find a way to lower your perception!"

Wang Xuan yelled.

Most of the time, enhanced perception is a good thing, which makes people's combat instincts sharper, more aware of the details of things, and more sensitive to touch.

However, at this time, it is obviously not a good thing.

Moreover, perception cannot be lowered at will, especially when the blood mist emanating from the blood lake catches up with them and covers them, the perception increases dozens of times.

This time, not only could they easily see the gray figures, but they felt that these gray figures were becoming more and more real and more and more like human beings.

They included men and women, young and old, and even some acquaintances and old friends among them.

Alive, greeting them, arm in arm with arm, in a trance, this was no longer the eerie altar of the evil god, but a familiar scene, the real world.

They gradually lost themselves and forgot the real purpose of coming here.

Then, surrounded by the crowd, they stopped resisting, turned around and headed towards the blood lake, as if on the other side were the most beautiful things they cherished.

It was not until they all jumped into the blood lake with a plop that Zhao Guanshan suddenly woke up, because he heard that ambiguous and vague voice again.

"Wake up, there is danger ahead."

He woke up with a start, and wherever he looked, there was no blood lake or familiar faces, but only strange and hideous bloody corpses. All of them were carried by these bloody corpses and were heading towards the huge statue in the center.

But in front of the statue, there was a person kneeling, who was the missing third leader.

Although no one knew what had happened, Zhao Guanshan had roughly guessed it. Unfortunately, it was probably because the third sect leader came into contact with the contaminated Taoist knowledge when he broke through the realm, and was then guided all the way and eventually became a believer of the evil god in the spiritual world.

Now he not only has to sacrifice them, but also the entire Tianlong Taoist Palace.
