one's door

Zhang Yan was startled when this guess came out of his heart.After all, the combat power of these Elf individuals is at least on par with the warriors in the early stage of Duanshan Realm, even if they are not as good, they will not be too far behind.

Doesn't this speculation now overturn and reconstruct the basic understanding of the strength of these elves?

There is no practice system, they are just born with a high enough starting point!

Whether it's space gliding, or energy pick-and-roll and swallowing, or even the means of resisting and unloading force, it has nothing to do with the practice system.Just like the instinct of monkeys climbing trees and mice digging holes.

What a blinding leaf, now being seen through by Zhang Yan?Or is Zhang Yan's insight and analysis wrong?

Zhang Yan himself did not dare to be 100% sure, but in terms of what he saw with his own eyes, he still preferred the former.After all, think about it the other way around, who stipulated that creatures that are more powerful than humans and monsters must come through practice?People with different talents actually make more sense.Otherwise, where did such a large number come from?Do you really think that cultivation does not consume resources or time?

With this understanding, Zhang Yan no longer stayed in Xiaojiao Mountain. He moved together in his mind, his figure flickered, and he abruptly turned around the place with a radius of tens of miles. He really did what he wanted in his heart by burning the corpses all over the place.Finally, he turned around and glanced at the gap in the black space above Xiaojiao Mountain in the distance, Zhang Yan smiled, and then really moved away.

It took less than four days to go back and forth.But on the way back, Zhang Yan had already thought about what he needed to do next.

The space distortion coming out of the space gap is not small, if he really enters it and stays there for a long time, there will still be some pressure on Zhang Yan at this time.What's more, the inside seems to be different from the ordinary cracks in space, and Zhang Yan doesn't know if he will restrict some of his methods after entering.

It's better to take a look again, there is no need to rush to show your skills.

But it's not okay to let the demons wreak havoc on the human territory.This conflicts with Zhang Yan's bottom line of practice.Since we are human beings, we cannot look at other things and eat human beings as snacks or slaughter them as animals.The same is true for Zhang Yan of the demon clan, and the same is true for Zhang Yan of the demon clan.

The only difference is that the human race still has the ability to resist when facing the monster race.But facing the monsters, the methods of the human race are really not enough.As the number of monsters continues to increase, it is a foregone conclusion that Qi Yeguo will fall, and it will be difficult to manage if there are more variables in the future.

So Zhang Yan didn't disturb the disciples under his sect after returning to Duanya Mountain, but went straight back to the Artifact Refining Hall in the mountain gate, took the Tunshan Umbrella that was only used once after it was refined, and was going to make some changes.

Before doing it, Zhang Yan took out about a hundred catties of mysterious stones stored in the Tunshan Umbrella that had been divided into pieces of appropriate size. This will be the main material for his next modification of the Tunshan Umbrella.

Before doing it, Zhang Yan felt a little strange in his heart, confirming an old saying: one drink and one peck is destiny.

Xuanshi is a kind of refining material that should be synthesized, and it is a precious but unpopular thing.Ordinary refiners are very unlikely to use it.The reason has been mentioned before, because Xuanshi is the main material for refining ghost weapons.And ghost weapons are something that most refiners look down on.

There are also some refining techniques and tips about ghost weapons in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate.It's even pretty detailed.It's just that the purpose of these surviving is obviously to learn from, because they are all special and mysterious magic tools.

For example, the ghost weapon that Zhang Yan is about to forge now.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a ghost weapon. It should use the mysterious methods and ideas of that ghost weapon to use it for Tunshan Umbrella and improve it.

It is better to be familiar with this new refining method according to the habit. Zhang Yan relies on his own black and white pill fire to turn the mysterious stones into hair-thick and thin "silk threads", and then stitch them together in the air.There have been many breaks in between.The main reason is that the toughness of the mysterious stone is extremely low after being drawn into silk, and it will break if it is slightly unstable, and a single break will often produce a chain reaction, bringing a large piece of it and then breaking, making the refining process directly fall short.

So Zhang Yan practiced honestly many times before he mastered the trick.

Four days later, Zhang Yan put away the Tunshan Umbrella with its cover unfolded, took out all the profound stones inside, and divided them into more than a dozen storage boxes for packing.Only then did he leave Cliff Mountain with the Tunshan Umbrella.

At this time, Tunshan Umbrella has changed a lot from before.The red fan is now covered with golden and black magic circle patterns intertwined.The superposition of the golden space magic circle that has been adjusted but the overall effect has not changed creates a huge gap space that can accommodate a mountain.

And the black circle pattern is a new thing that Zhang Yan has spent a lot of time improving in the past few days.Even unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade, this Tunshan Umbrella became the first high-grade magic weapon refined by Zhang Yan because of this part. Although it only touched the threshold of a high-grade magic weapon, it was indeed a top-grade magic weapon.

Moving with such a big thing consumes a lot more spiritual energy than Zhang Yan's light-packed travel before.But because of the previous visit and the presence of the beacon, it took much less time for Zhang Yan to move than the last time.

Zhang Yan really wanted to move directly to Xiaojiao Mountain if it wasn't for worrying about the emptiness in his body due to the fact that it would take too long to move at one time and consume too much spiritual energy.In the end, just to be on the safe side, he divided the teleportation into three times, leaving time for himself to replenish the aura in his body.

The place where the last teleportation occurred was the place where Zhang Yan had been to the most surrounding monsters before. Xiaojiao Mountain was under his feet, and the gap in space was above his head.

Seeing Zhang Yan's sudden appearance, the surrounding monsters immediately chirped with melodious but disgusting voices.At the same time, he aggressively surrounded Zhang Yan.They probably said something like "This time we must not let this human race go!"

"Get up!" Zhang Yan smiled, and the soaring technique flew to the air eight feet and half above the ground, then threw the Tunshan Umbrella in his hand upwards, and at the same time unfolded the power in the umbrella.

An extremely strong force with a dual attraction to energy and entities began to appear, and at the same time Zhang Yan's extremely yang energy was also attached to the mighty energy boundary of the swallowing mountain umbrella, forming a beam of devouring fields like beams of light, With Zhang Yan's control, he directly covered the monsters swarming below.

Chapter 441 Feeding

With the participation of extreme yang energy, coupled with the huge energy-swallowing and sucking force on the Tunshan Umbrella, it has become a "monster" with a huge appetite.

Today's Tunshan Umbrella was shaped into a new category by Zhang Yan based on the storage magic weapon and soul-destroying ghost weapon, similar to the "ethnic bag".Of course, they are only similar, but their power is far from comparable.

In addition, unlike the "ethnic bag" that can hold thousands of creatures, the Tunshan Umbrella improved by Zhang Yan can't hold all the creatures, even living things in the ordinary sense. Twisted, it can instantly turn a living thing into a dead thing.From this point of view, the Tunshan Umbrella is also qualified as a murder weapon.The efficiency of killing ordinary creatures is extremely high.

But the Tunshan Umbrella is perfect for pretending to be a monster.

Compared with creatures in the general sense, although the elves are living creatures, there is no doubt about their adaptability to the cracks in space.They can still survive in the God Realm and can compete with Baronka and Xu Fengyang in the God Realm. The mere swallowing of the mountain umbrella will naturally not be their death, and they will only be trapped for a while if they are put in. Little life.

Zhang Yan who was in mid-air received a lot of attacks, but after offering his Dharma image, coupled with the irregular and teleportation method of teleportation, it is almost impossible for the elves to stop Zhang Yan.On the contrary, after Zhang Yan moved around a few times, the demon clan below was directly defeated, scattered and wanted to run away.

Zhang Yan chased up and pretended a little more, feeling the strength of the struggle in the Tunshan Umbrella, he didn't kill them all, leaving some leeway.

But with all this talk, Xiaojiao Mountain, the place where the elves are the densest, and maybe even more than [-]% of the elves, seems so empty.

Moreover.These sprites who ran away had no chance of running far.Now that all countries are reinforcing Qi Ye Shangguo, when Qi Yeguo reacts, it will inevitably start to shrink the encirclement, even if it is filled with life, it will not miss the opportunity to regain the lost ground.On the other hand, it is difficult for the elves who have lost a large number of their kind to support a large war for the time being, and retreating back to Xiaojiaoshan, the stronghold that cannot be given up, has become their only choice.

And because Xiaojiao Mountain is directly under the space breach above its head, it is impossible to give up its special geographical location.

We only need to wait another three or two months, when the time comes, there will be as many elves as before at the foot of Xiaojiao Mountain, and Zhang Yan will come again.As long as the God Realm continues to throw out new sprites, this can become a "crop" that repeats itself, which is not harmful to Zhang Yan.There are even many benefits.

certainly.In order to add some methods to Qi Ye Shangguo to contain the monsters, instead of relying on human life to fill them in, Zhang Yan felt that it was necessary to get some magic tools or magic plates that gather yang energy to form a barrier.Optimistic about Xiaojiaoshan, this is also a win-win thing for Zhang Yan.

Smiling and happy all the way, Zhang Yan returned to Duanya Mountain and moved to the forbidden area set up in the back mountain.Inside is the "round ball" that he captured and locked in the dwelling.

Opening the prison, Zhang Yan walked in with the Tunshan Umbrella.Looking at the long and narrow black dwelling in front of him, which was imprisoned in mid-air by the power of the magic circle, he smiled, and then flicked a five-element magic technique over, making a small depression on the surface of the dwelling.Then it seemed dissatisfied with Zhang Yan's disturbance, a tentacle stretched out from the nearest hole on the dwelling near the depression, diligently restored the depression, then shook it, and then retracted.

From this point alone, "Yuanqiu" is not as afraid of Zhang Yan as it was at the beginning.If you don't feel Zhang Yan's breath, you can't pretend to be dead.

This was trained by Zhang Yan.After he locked the "round ball" in the snail house, he would come to feed and observe from time to time.He found that although the "ball" would not refuse the energy fed to him and devoured them all, the energy consumed was very, very little.This can be seen from Zhang Yan's careful perception of the body weight of the "round ball".Minor consumption coupled with a good appetite that never refuses anyone who comes, is almost equivalent to only getting in but not getting out.

This reminded Zhang Yan of a legendary beast.It is also only in and out.It's just not a pure energy creature like "Ball".

What Zhang Yan cares most about the "round ball" is its ability to swallow different energies, but also output multiple energies.And what's even more rare is that the energy it outputs is extremely pure, which is no worse than Peiyuan Pill and Lingshi.This kind of ability is a treasure in front of a monk.Or aura cows.

The ability of "round ball" has not been used after being caught by Zhang Yan and locked up in the snail house.It can produce aura, and Zhang Yan is also training it.For example, after feeding, he will spit out spiritual energy to Zhang Yan, otherwise Zhang Yan will stab the "round ball" with extreme yang energy. Over time, the "round ball" will adapt to his new identity, but he wants to sleep peacefully Drowsy instead of constantly being stabbed awake.

However, feeding and giving back are the results of training, and they are of no real use to Zhang Yan.

The reason is that Zhang Yan really didn't have a good idea about the food selection of "round ball".

You can't shovel mud and stones to the "ball" and let it breathe out, right?In that case, even if the "ball" has nothing to make ends meet, the ball will still be "starved" or even "starved to death" soon.

Until I saw the Elf Clan, the special body structure that is both virtual and real, and the homology with the "round ball" from the same world, it stands to reason that it should be the most suitable "food" for the "round ball".

Zhang Yan raised his hand and grabbed a monster from the Tunshan Umbrella, then imprisoned it with magical techniques and threw it on top of the snail house, trying to see the reaction of the "ball" inside.

As a result, it was like a shark smelling blood. The tentacles of the "ball" stick out from the holes in the dwelling as the elves approached, and then plunged into the elves' body without hesitation. , the two parts of the physical body and the energy body were covered with tentacles without exception.

Looking at the imprisoned elves, they obviously recognized the "round ball", and their chirping and dancing seemed to be frightening.But that disgusting appearance can't make any human race feel sympathetic, it's not bad if it doesn't gloat.

One sprite was not enough for the "round ball" to eat, and it was completely disassembled and swallowed in the blink of an eye.Even the unfinished tentacles did not retract, but swayed as if asking Zhang Yan, "Is there any more?"

Of course there is!

Smiling, Zhang Yan grabbed another ten sprites and threw them to the "round ball".The ball is clearly prepared this time, it doesn't need Zhang Yan to do anything to imprison the elves, it directly uses the tentacles to string all the elves together, and those elves are not at all when facing the "ball". No resistance at all.The screams of chirping and chirping were eaten up without even a few screams.

Chapter 442 Stepping

The sprites in Qiye Shangguo can roughly be calculated by the amount thrown from the gap in the space on Xiaojiao Mountain.

Thirty breaths are about three to five monsters. Assuming that the amount of throwing does not change much, and taking the average, the total number of monsters thrown out in March can reach more than one hundred.Even if the small part consumed by fighting with human warriors and Qi Ye Kingdom's elite is deducted, it is estimated that 100 million should still be there.

This is an extremely large amount.Knowing that four or five headed monsters can replace a warrior in the Duanshan Realm, Qi Yeguo was not joking when he said that he was forced to a desperate situation.

Even if it wasn't for the fact that the elves didn't expand with all their strength, but stuck to Xiaojiao Mountain, the Qi Ye Shang Kingdom should have disappeared at this time.

Except for the elves who expanded their territory, the elves gathered around Xiaojiao Mountain accounted for [-]% of their total.And more than half of the [-]% was in the Tunshan umbrella in Zhang Yan's hand.

So in the face of the "ball"'s desire to eat, Zhang Yan was not ambiguous at all, and now the most in his hands are the monsters.At the same time, he is also very curious about eating. Is there any limit to the food intake of the "ball", and if so, where is the limit?

So Zhang Yan directly opened the Tunshan Umbrella with a big opening, and released the elves from the inside like mercury pouring into the ground. Under the confinement here and Zhang Yan's maintenance, the elves who came out quickly filled the forbidden area but could not get out.Like water in a bottle.

Zhang Yan clearly felt another emotion besides "fear" coming from the "ball", which is "excitement".It's like the déjà vu of a dog at home seeing a meaty bone.

Don't look at the large number of elves released by Zhang Yan from the Tunshan umbrella, the number is nearly a thousand, but the eating speed of the "round ball" is not slow. You must know that at this time it has shrunk a lot in size and shrunk in the snail house. Nearly a hundred of the tentacles are not thick, but they can almost reach hundreds of meters or even longer. They are as agile as living things, like candied haws, and they can string up nearly a thousand monsters in less than ten breaths, and then It's just a matter of counting interest if the meal is officially started.

Nearly a thousand monsters ate their stomachs, and the "ball" reacted with more energy, but it was still not full.Still swaying its tentacles, wanting more.

Zhang Yan smiled and released nearly a thousand monsters from the Tunshan umbrella again... Repeatedly, Zhang Yan released more than [-] monsters, and the "ball" seemed to have had enough, and the tentacles no longer swayed outside. Instead, he retracted slowly, lazily as if he wanted to sleep.

But Zhang Yan was still on the side, and the energy of the "round ball" from the beginning to the present was clearly remembered in Zhang Yan's heart.After feeding so much, there must be some benefits of turning around, right?

Zhang Yan walked to the edge of the dwelling, knocked with his hand, and then a tentacle reluctantly stretched out, and then the tip of the tentacle began to gather energy, and a liquid-like aura overflowed visible to the naked eye, and Continue to grow.

"Ball" didn't steal or play tricks, and the energy it spit out accounted for at least [-]% of the total amount it ate just now.This is the rule Zhang Yan set for it through previous training.Although reluctant, "round ball" still kept this rule.

Looking at the aura mass quickly condensed by the "round ball", Zhang Yan was a little taken aback.It was also the first time for him to see liquid aura outside of his Dao Dan. In the past, at most, he saw a mist-like aura reaching the sky, and most of the aura was invisible to the naked eye.

Zhang Yan had no experience with this kind of liquid aura, and he didn't know how the fist-sized liquid aura condensed from the "ball" was compared to the state of aura he was familiar with.Even his Dao Danli didn't have so many.Because once the aura in the Dao Pill is liquefied, it will be quickly pressed into the Dao Pill and become a part of the Dao Pill and will not last long.

However, the energy response of the "ball" in the perception dropped by [-]% after condensing this liquid aura, meeting the requirements of the "rules".

Even dragging the aura with its tentacles, it trembled a few times, signaling Zhang Yan to take it away quickly so that it could go back to sleep.

Zhang Yan was in a daze for a moment, then raised his hand and stretched it out, the moment he touched the spirit ball, he even felt a slight weight!

After re-closing the forbidden magic circle, Zhang Yan moved back to the secret room in the Dengyun Hall, and then began to meditate to absorb this liquid spirit ball with a slightly nervous and expectant mood.

The surface of the spirit ball is covered with a layer of strange energy, so that the spirit energy inside will not dissipate. This layer of energy comes from the "ball".And Zhang Yan needs to poke a small hole in this layer of energy, so that the liquid aura inside can come out, and keep a small flow, so that he can touch the liquid aura and the aura that he usually breathes out in his body. What a difference in quantity.

Gathering the yang energy at one point to form a fine thorn like a vellus hair, this thing is very sharp to the energy of the "ball", otherwise it would be really difficult to control the size of the opening.

Get ready, after a small hole is opened, the first drop of liquid spiritual energy overflows and is directly absorbed by Zhang Yan's palm, tightly without giving this liquid spiritual energy any chance to diffuse back to its normal state, so as to ensure Nothing will be wasted.

Almost at the moment when the first drop of liquid spiritual energy entered Zhang Yan's body, a kind of experience that he had never had before made Zhang Yan briefly absent-minded.Immediately afterwards, the increase of liquid aura dripping into the body one after another gradually brought Zhang Yan back to his senses.

"It feels like being in water..."

Zhang Yan was at a loss for words, and couldn't vividly describe the feeling of this liquid aura entering his body.The only thing that can be barely compared is the alternation of perception at the moment when a person plunges into the water from the shore.

It was too late to realize that the highly concentrated spiritual energy in the meridians did not re-diffuse into a normal gaseous state as Zhang Yan thought, but continued to circulate in the meridian in a liquid state and then flowed into the dantian, drilling into the Dao Dan. , Go directly to the last step and press Dao Dan to become Zhang Yan's bottom-level strength gain.

It's like you are all ready to eat something good and gain weight, but as soon as the food enters your mouth, what you eat directly becomes the meat on your body.All the digestion and absorption in the middle is saved for you!

Of course, this novel experience and the benefits directly implemented will not make Zhang Yan feel uncomfortable.It felt weird from the very beginning, but Zhang Yan got used to this feeling after absorbing a dozen or so drops of liquid spiritual energy.

So continue to absorb.After inhaling the whole liquid aura, Zhang Yan couldn't hide the surprise on his face no matter what.

Even though [-]% of the spirit energy exchanged by the tens of thousands of monsters was "lost" at the "ball", falling into Zhang Yan's hands has already pushed his cultivation in the early stage of the body-fit state a big step forward. At present, it will take several years or even ten years of hard work to reach his current state at the current speed of practicing with all his strength and the merits and spirits of the daily transcendence of ghosts.

"Speaking of which, the remaining monsters in the Tunshan Umbrella are enough for me to pass through the entire stage of the Fusion Realm?! At least it can reach the later stage?" Zhang Yan suddenly discovered that he didn't seem to be because of the improvement of his cultivation. And slowing down the speed of practice, on the contrary, it became faster.

This was definitely a surprise for Zhang Yan.When he just stepped into the Composite Realm before, he was horrified by the progress of the empty realm. The originally full aura accumulated in the Composite Realm seemed to have only reached the "bottom of the bottle".Now that a large water pipe was discovered by accident, the body environment should have been accumulated for a long time, and it became different.

Chapter 443 Beams and Columns

The royal family of Qi Ye Shangguo even sent away the young Miao descendants, and guarded the gate of the country by themselves, waiting for the final showdown with the demon clan.

Even the distant Nanyuan Kingdom can see the desperation of Qi Ye Kingdom, how can Qi Ye Kingdom itself not know?

Whether it's the martial arts academy, the troops in his own hands, or even the full reinforcements from surrounding countries.These seem powerful, but they don't solve the problem.

No amount of sticks can break the iron ball. This is not something that can be changed by quantity.

After the 20 elites were bloodbathed in Xiaojiaoshan's attack, Qi Ye Kingdom understood that no matter whether the monster clan could be wiped out in the end, Qi Ye Kingdom's land would suffer severely.Although it is most reasonable to avoid the front, Qi Yeguo's face and the glory of the royal family do not allow them to voluntarily give up their ancestors' foundation in such a embarrassment.

But the reality is hard to face.

Those monsters seem to be continuing to build up their strength. Except for slowly expanding the activity area for exploration, most of the troops stay around Xiaojiao Mountain, as if they are guarding the hole in the sky on Xiaojiao Mountain.The current calm is only temporary. Once the demon clan is fully charged, the entire Qi Ye Kingdom and the entire human race will face a catastrophe.

But when Qi Yeguo was gnashing his teeth up and down, the turning point that no one expected came so suddenly.

First, there was a large area of ​​fire and rain on Xiaojiao Mountain. The fire, rain and smoke all over the sky told the Qi Ye Kingdom defenders who were retreating in the distance a news: there was an emergency on the side of the demon clan.

In order to find out what was released in the central area where the demon tribe is located, Qi Yeguo sent hundreds of scouts to find out the situation even at the expense of losses.

A few days later, Fei Yu's first-hand news came back, saying that all the corpses of the soldiers who had been murdered had been burned, and the fire rain seemed to be directed at the burned corpses.Today, the areas occupied by the demon clan no longer smell the soaring stench of the past.

The second-hand news came back less than a day after the first one.He also mentioned a great change: the number of Elf tribes has dropped sharply for some reason, large areas of occupied areas have been emptied, and half of the defensive power has disappeared.And the sprites who were originally scattered outside to expand and explore all returned to Xiaojiao Mountain in a hurry.

It all came so unexpectedly and ecstatically.

But what followed was a disturbing question: where did the disappearing monsters go?

Shen Wujiu on the cliff mountain also paid homage to the mountain again with this question.

"Master Shen, you seem a little anxious, but in fact there is no need for it. Didn't you say that the matter of the demon clan will not affect Nanyuan Kingdom?" Zhang Yan seemed to be in a good mood, and he did not refuse Shen Wujiu's request to see him, and even He also asked Wang Nian to lead him to Dengyun Hall.

"Sir! I have to be in a hurry! Just got the news from Qi Yeguo, they found that a large number of elves gathered around Xiaojiao Mountain were missing. The pressure on the defense line was greatly reduced, and now all the elves have retreated to the Xiaojiao Mountain.

But according to Qi Ye Kingdom, the timing of this change in the Monster Clan coincides with your trip to Qi Ye Kingdom.I just want to ask Mr. if you know where the elves went when they suddenly disappeared?

This matter is very important, please forgive me for my recklessness, please tell me. "Speaking, Shen Wujiu bowed deeply to the end, feeling uneasy. At the same time, there was some expectation and excitement.

Zhang Yanxu raised his hand, telling Shen Wujiu not to give a big gift.He guessed the purpose of Shen Wujiu's coming here. He didn't say it before, but he also wanted to see the reaction of the human race and other countries, and at the same time, to see the reaction of the demon race.Now it seems that the Monster Clan has made a decision, and it is in line with what Zhang Yan most wants to see.

"I have dealt with the part of the demon clan that disappeared." Zhang Yan gave Shen Wujiu an answer with a smile.But there is no need to let the other party know how to "handle" it.

Shen Wujiu's eyes widened sharply, the surprise on his face could not be concealed, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Sir, do you mean that you have dealt with so many hundreds of thousands of elves by yourself?"
