Banner of the Evil God

Of course, Lei and Steele had never heard of the name Tight Hoop, but the world before Sui Xiong traveled was almost a household name, at least in the cultural circles that shared his language.

It has no other use than two effects - first, you can't take it off if you put it on; second, once you recite the tightening spell silently, the circle will be tightened and tightened again, no matter whether the powerful Monkey King changes into another. Whether he becomes a fish, an earthworm, a drop of water or a ball of fire, or even his soul leaves his body, it will still give him a splitting headache and he will admit defeat.

The tight hoop made by Sui Xiong is different from the original one. It not only has the activation method of the tightening curse, but also has a preset activation method - this inspiration naturally does not come from Journey to the West, but from Star Master's movie "Westward Journey".

Of course, Sui Xiong's preset trigger for it couldn't be as harsh as "Moving the Heart" - in that case, I'm afraid Steele would be strangled to death in a few days... maybe not even a day.

Do not use coercion to interact with others. This is the "commandment" Sui Xiong has set for Steele. She doesn't need to actually do it, as long as she has such a thought, the tight hoop will start to tighten. If she doesn't repent or give up after being warned, the tight hoop will keep strangling people... Strictly speaking, this circle won't really strangle people to death, but if they insist on it to the end, , I’m afraid it’s inevitable to faint from the pain.

After Sui Xiong explained the effect of this circle, he said with a smile: "It is said that this tight circle was used by a peerless hero who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and shocked the three worlds. To be honest, you are not worthy of it, but who called me Be kind to others.”

He threw the tight hoop to Lei: "Let's just educate the fire-breathing brat... Lei, put it on her. From now on, you will be responsible for reciting the tight hoop."

Without thinking, Steele flapped her wings and ran away, hoping to escape with her flying ability.

However, how could she escape in front of Sui Xiong? Sui Xiong laughed three more times, and his magic power turned into a giant palm, which directly swatted her down from the sky and pressed her to the ground like a fly. The giant palm immediately changed and turned into an iceberg that looked like five fingers, holding her firmly. Pressed under the mountain.

"Hey! You evil beast, you still can't escape from Buddha's Five Finger Mountain!" Sui Xiong shouted in Chinese, feeling full of accomplishment. It's a pity that no one in the world can understand his Chinese, which greatly reduces the sense of accomplishment.

After suppressing Steele, Sui Xiong taught Lei the tightening spell, and then asked him to put the tight hoop on Steele, and then he absorbed the magic power and reduced the iceberg to nothing.

"I can rest assured of your wisdom and knowledge. As long as you are in charge, this weird thing will not be able to change the world." Seeing that Steele was put in a tight hoop, several methods were used in succession, whether it was magic or virtualization. , even after using the soul to leave the body, he still couldn't break free from the golden hoop on his head. Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile and said to Lei, "When to recite the tightening curse and how many times, you can decide by yourself. "

"Also, if necessary, you can recite the tightening spell backwards, which can suspend the effectiveness of the tightening spell for a period of time - of course, you still can't take it off."

Lei nodded with joy and silently recited the tightening spell in his heart. Suddenly, Steele felt that the hoop on her head began to tighten. At first it was not very tight, but she could bear it, but as Lei recited the curse more and more often, the hoop became tighter and tighter, which gave her a splitting headache and made her cry for father and mother for a while, in the mud and water. She was rolling around, but she was completely unable to do anything. She could only beg Lei to be merciful and spare her this time.

Only then did Lei stop chanting the curse with satisfaction. Strangely enough, as soon as he stopped speaking, Steele's head immediately stopped hurting. She touched the tight band on her head fearfully, imagining the future situation, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The happy and carefree life is over!

During the subsequent travels, Steele became much more honest with the tight constraints. Not only did she no longer harass Lei, she even went out hunting less often.

However, this had its advantages and disadvantages. She would often get a headache suddenly while flying, fall to the ground, and scream in pain, which greatly reduced her efficiency as a scout.

This also allowed Sui Xiong and Lei to truly see the exaggeration of this strange flower - basically, she would have evil thoughts anytime and anywhere. In just less than a day, the tight hoop was triggered more than twenty times...

She barely persisted for a day, but at night, she couldn't bear it anymore and begged Sui Xiong to change the setting of the tight hoop with tears in her eyes.

"There is no way I can live this life!" She cried heartbrokenly. "If you can't even think about it, what's the point of living? It would be easier to just kill me!"

Sui Xiong could only express his admiration for this guy's spirit of "do it or die". After some haggling, he finally modified the setting of the tight hoop.

First, the constraints on “ideas” are relaxed. In any case, just "thinking" is not sinful. Although his original intention was to use severe restraint to correct Steele's wrong thinking, it seemed that this guy was already crooked even in his bones, and there was no possibility of correction, so he had to give up.

Secondly, based on the principle of "beat a stick and give a sweet date", he added another function to the tight hoop - as long as Steele works hard to restrain her desires, she can store her power until needed. Use again.

"Does this mean that I usually store my desires, and at the critical moment I can activate a large-scale indiscriminate estrous spell and hold a vigorous unobstructed conference?" Steele's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her saliva almost flowed out. .

Sui Xiong sighed and gave up the long speech he had prepared.

This woman... is hopeless!

After finally solving this problem, the team finally arrived at the Broken Cloud Mountains.

The Broken Cloud Mountains are a series of high mountains known as the "Roof of the Continent". They start from the vast sea in the west and run diagonally across the land along a vein that runs roughly from southwest to northeast. When they are close to the middle of the continent, they turn from west to east, separating the Ancient Forest and the Eagle Kingdom. Finally, they go around a little to the north, draw an arc, and then continue eastward to the vast Eastern Plains - that is, the territory of the Blue Moon Kingdom.

The biggest feature of this mountain range is that it is high, ridiculously high. Except for the section that extends to the Eastern Plains, most of the area is cliffs and cliffs. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can see cliffs and cliffs extending above the clouds, as if separating the clouds in the sky - the name "Broken Cloud" comes from this.

This mountain range is not only a natural barrier that cuts off the north-south traffic of the continent, but also a famous holy place for cultivation. According to Lei, at least half of the legendary masters and more than 70% of the demigod masters in the world today live on this majestic and steep mountain.

The reason is simple, the magic concentration is high.

The distribution law of magic concentration in the main plane is roughly as follows: with the sea level as the dividing line, the magic concentration will increase upwards and downwards. The magic concentration in the sky and deep sea is very high, so powerful monsters either live on high mountains or in the deep sea.

Let’s not talk about the deep sea for now. The highest mountain on the continent is the Broken Cloud Mountains, so most of the most powerful monsters on land live here. It is precisely because of the high magic concentration that those masters who have exceeded the limits of mortals like to live here, hoping to increase the possibility of further breakthroughs.

In this world, there are many places called "forbidden areas", such as the core area of ​​the Western Desert Gobi, which is a forbidden area. If you want to survive, you must not go there. But the Broken Cloud Mountains are not a forbidden area, because... people who are not strong enough, even if they don't want to live, can't go up at all.

High concentrations of magic power can not only give birth to powerful monsters, but also be as poisonous as to creatures accustomed to low concentrations of magic power. If you can't break through the limit and step into the legendary realm, you don't even have the qualifications to climb the mountain.

Want to commit suicide? Find a rope and hang yourself on the tree, that's practical.

"I definitely can't climb over the Broken Cloud Mountains." Panting and climbing up a steep peak, looking at the increasingly high cliffs in front of him, feeling the obviously thicker magic in the air, Lei couldn't help shaking his head, "This is really not possible, I can't do it."

Sui Xiong didn't make it difficult for him, and turned to look at Steele.

"I think... it doesn't matter..." Although Steele was still stubborn, her panting appearance had betrayed her.

Obviously, for their adventure team, "climbing over the Broken Cloud Mountains" is really a challenge that is too difficult. Neither Lei nor Steele has this ability.

What's more troublesome is that the Broken Cloud Mountains don't have gaps like the Desolate Mountains. This continental roof stretches continuously without even a single gap.

If you want to get there, you either have to rely on your strong strength to cross the mountains or take a detour.

Looking at his teammates who were almost unable to hold on, and looking at the mountains ahead that were still tall and straight, and who knew how high they were, Sui Xiong fell into deep thought.

After a while, he finally came up with a solution.

"... Your Majesty, are you sure this is really okay?" Looking at the bloody mouth in front of him that was big enough to accommodate an adult in and out, even the daring Lei couldn't help but tremble with fear, "This method... doesn't seem reliable..."

"Yes! Let's take a detour!" Steele also reached a consensus with Lei, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

No wonder they were worried and scared. Sui Xiong suddenly changed into a room-sized one, and actually asked them to get into the belly of a giant jellyfish and fly directly over the Broken Cloud Mountains on the "Jellyfish Airship".

To be honest, this idea is not a bad one, and it can effectively solve many possible problems.

Is the magic power concentration too high? Sui Xiong can absorb and filter it.

Is the air thin? Sui Xiong can use nearby air to suck in and artificially increase oxygen supply.

Are there dangerous flying monsters in the sky? Sui Xiong can send out pressure to drive them away.

Can't see the road clearly when flying in the sky? Sui Xiong can use magic to locate.

In general, except for the somewhat scary style, the jellyfish airship is really good.

However, it is too scary.

Yes, it is too scary!

It is really too scary!

Because it is very important, I have to say it three times!

Drilling into the belly of a huge monster by yourself, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible for normal people!

To be honest, Lei and Steele are not normal people, but even if they are lone thieves and weird bitches, they can't convince themselves to drill into someone else's stomach in order to hurry up!

"This won't work!"

"Yes! It really won't work!"

They emphasized so much.

But in the end, they still gave in.

With an excited laugh, the huge floating jellyfish slowly rose into the air and flew above the clouds...
