To Raise a Soul

A deep ditch was dug out by the living corpses on the ground. Everyone stood by the ditch, looking at the delicate lawn beyond the ditch, feeling inexplicably about to step into hell from the world.

Yin Yan and Yu Zhen looked at each other, stepped forward in tacit understanding, and stepped over first.

wow.

The moment the two stood on the land in the inner circle, a strange wind pushed forward layer by layer from the scattered barrel-shaped buildings in the inner circle, as if resisting their approach.

Yin Yan took a step forward to block Yu Zhen behind him, waved his hand, and the aura moved away, facing the wind towards the barrel-shaped building.

The wind stopped suddenly, and the majestic spiritual energy quickly blew across the entire inner circle of land. The barrel-shaped building began to shake, and a bad breath came out from inside.

"There are things inside." Yu Zhen opened his mouth and took out his weapon, "They are about to come out."

As soon as the voice fell, as if stimulated by aura, all the outer walls of the barrel-shaped buildings in sight suddenly cracked, and after a burst of bricks falling, there was a rumbling sound of the walls collapsing. It became a piece, and one after another, humanoid objects full of evil spirits rushed out with weapons.

"It's a living corpse again, and it's still a high-level one!"

Elder Feng frowned fiercely, took out the floating dust, stepped across the deep ditch and stood beside Yu Zhen and Yin Yan, and said loudly to the back: "Get ready to fight, a team of five, don't be alone, and leave the battlefield immediately after being injured by a living corpse. Sha, don't love to fight!"

"It's really unconscionable. There are so many living corpses, and the integrity is so high. How many monks have these bloody evil cultivators killed over the years." Kui Gui stepped over cursingly, waved his weapon, and roared loudly: "Fuck it, brothers!"

Everyone responded, took out their weapons and stepped into the inner circle one after another, and the team rushed towards the densely packed living corpses.

Burning high-level living corpses with real fire would consume too much energy. Yin Yan stopped and let everyone play. He spread his consciousness and probed inwards. He found that there seemed to be living people in the holiday villa surrounded by tubular buildings. , reached out to help Yu Zhen get rid of the fighting corpses, and pulled him to his side.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhen asked suspiciously.

"Let's go take a look inside." Yin Yan replied, turned his head to look at Feng Lao who was not far away, and said, "There is something inside, you should clean up the living corpses outside first, and Xiaozhen and I will go inside to investigate. "

Elder Feng nodded, and instructed: "Pay attention to safety, get out immediately if there is danger."

"it is good."

Yin Yan responded, and led Yu Zhen to shrink into an inch, step over the continuously rushing corpses, and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's so fast." Feng Lin, who was paying attention to the movement here, couldn't help exclaiming, his face was full of excitement: "If I practice hard, will I be able to shrink to an inch in the future?"

boom!

Shi Qingyuan helped him stop the sneak attack of the living corpse, and reminded: "Concentrate, the high-level living corpse already has its own consciousness, and still retains some of the skills and abilities of its previous life. It is very difficult to deal with. Don't be distracted during the battle." .”

"Qing Yuan is right." Bo Xiu approached the two of them after killing a living corpse, and said, "Xiaozhen and his master worked hard to help us open the way. We just cleared up some miscellaneous soldiers. If we can't do these things well, then It is estimated that the road construction will not go far."

Feng Lin was silent when he heard the words, thinking of Yu Zhen's master and apprentice who had almost taken over all the dangerous work, his face was serious, and he turned the puppet flag in his hand, and rushed towards a living corpse, no longer distracted.

After killing the sporadic attacking corpses, Yin Yan took Yu Zhen to stay in front of a small holiday villa, and blasted open the door with spiritual energy.

crackling.

Something fell to the ground and the sound of messy footsteps came from the room. Yu Zhen, who was a little relaxed at first, immediately tightened his heartstrings. He looked sideways at Yin Yan and asked, "Is there someone inside?"

Yin Yan nodded, and added: "Several." After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the house.

Yu Zhen quickly followed.

As the residence of the elders, the small villa is naturally exquisitely decorated, but it is not very popular. Obviously, the elders do not often live here.

As soon as the two stepped in, several hidden weapons were sent from different directions. Yu Zhen and Yin Yan knocked them down respectively, looked at them, and found that they were all magic weapons. Angry.

boom!

The two forces spread together from two directions, entangled and spread towards the entire villa.

Under the impact of such a powerful force, all the furniture in the house shattered and collapsed, cracks appeared on the walls, and the stairs quickly decayed. All places that might have concealed weapons or formations were destroyed indiscriminately, and the people hidden inside were quickly detected by the force. Out of position.

"Two in the basement and two on the third floor." Yin Yan pointed out the number of people in the house and looked towards Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen dragged himself into the air with spiritual energy, and said consciously: "The environment in the basement is unknown, there may be an ambush, I don't have enough experience, go upstairs, you go to the basement, nothingness follows me."

"Meow."

The nothingness who was observing the surroundings with cat eyes upright ran to Yu Zhen's side consciously, climbed onto his shoulders and squatted down.

Yin Yan approached him and patted his head full of relief, then stepped away from the spot and walked towards the basement.

Yu Zhen also hurriedly restrained her mind, and rushed upstairs with nothingness.

The staircase wall of the villa has been destroyed, leaving only a frame. As soon as Yu Zhen went up, he found two evil cultivators hiding on it. Under the reminder of nothingness, he did not rashly step into their ambush, but detoured from the side. Killed two people by surprise.

The strength of the two evil cultivators was unexpectedly weak, and Yu Zhen took care of it in twos and twos. Realizing that the two upstairs might just be bait to distract him and Yin Yan, he rushed towards the basement with nothingness.

As soon as he stepped onto the first floor, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and he was thrown upside down by the aftermath of the explosion. Fortunately, he was supported by spiritual energy and protected by nothingness.

This is obviously the power of the self-destruction of the evil cultivator, and the strength of the self-destruction evil cultivator is not low. He quickly got up from the ground and ran anxiously towards the basement that was blown through.

"Master!"

"go!"

Yin Yan frowned and rushed out from the basement, hugged Yu Zhen who was rushing towards him, and led him to shrink into an inch, and left the villa.

Rumble.

In the next second, the villa collapsed and became a ruin.

"What's the situation?" Yu Zhen glanced at the collapsed ruins and the spots of blood on Yin Yan's clothes, anxiously pressing him up and down to check if he was injured.

"I'm fine, these are the blood of evil cultivators." Yin Yan pressed his hand and explained: "There is a formation in the basement, which is a directional teleportation formation. The two evil cultivators defending the formation blew themselves up to protect the formation."

Directional teleportation array?

Yu Zhen looked towards the villa again, an idea popped up in his heart, and he said a little excitedly: "Could that directional teleportation array be Wusha..."

"Yes, it has already lost its effect. The evil cultivator used self-destruct to destroy the formation." Yin Yan shook his head, glanced at the other small villas, and said, "Go and see other villas."

Yu Zhen immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly ran towards the nearest villa.

The two rushed directly to the basement after entering the villa this time, but this time it was the same, and they were blocked by the aftermath of the explosion before entering.

"Go to the remaining two villas."

Yin Yan hugged Yu Zhen and shrunk into an inch.

Before they got close to the third villa, there was the sound of an explosion, and the fourth villa exploded right after.

The two stopped halfway, looking at the remaining two villas that were blown into ruins by the explosion, they all frowned.

Xie Xiu moved too fast.

"The formations in the villa must be related to Wu Sha, otherwise the evil cultivators defending the formations wouldn't try their best to destroy them." Yu Zhen opened his mouth, looked at Yin Yan and asked, "Do you want to see the remnants of the formations? "

Yin Yan shook his head, glanced at the location of the villa and the barrel-shaped building, and then lowered his head to look at the ground covered with delicate turf. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at the living corpses and monks fighting in the melee.

Swish!

Kui Gui's huge ax slashed at the back of a living corpse, and the blood splashed out, but Kui Gui avoided it and fell into the grass.

boom!

A monk used a sledgehammer to directly hit the head of a living corpse. The living corpse fell down, and the blood from the head quickly soaked the turf under it.

The fighting sounded endlessly, and the living corpses fell one by one, the blood spread all over the ground, almost dyeing the turf red.

I don't know whether it was because Feng Lao and the others attacked too fast, or the living corpses were too careless. The battle line that was still at the edge of the deep pit was pushed to the middle at some point. The living corpses were spread out layer by layer, and the air was full of It's the smell of blood.

Elder Feng ran over when he heard the explosion. Seeing the two standing still, he asked anxiously, "What happened to the explosion just now? Was there an ambush in the villa? Are you injured?"

He ran in such a hurry that the blood stains on the floating dust fell on the grass, and quickly penetrated into the leaves and disappeared.

Probably because the sun was gradually rising and the sun was too bright, there was a faint light flowing when the blood slid over the leaves, and then quickly penetrated into the ground and disappeared.

Yin Yan looked up at the sky, and patted Yu Zhen on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhen, enlighten your discernment."

Yu Zhen didn't understand, so he opened his discernment obediently, and in the next second, a world shrouded in red mist spread out in front of him, he couldn't help but gasped, and looked at Yin Yan in shock: "Master, Why is there a layer of red mist on everyone? It's very thick! It rose from the grass!"

"As expected." Yin Yan rarely showed a dignified expression, looked at Feng Lao and said, "Let everyone retreat out of the deep ditch as soon as possible, don't touch the living corpses again, wash off the blood on their bodies after exiting, and then kill each other If my guess is correct, there is a large sacrificial formation under the turf under our feet. The center of the formation is the teleportation formation in the four villas. , the blood will cover the turf, and the formation will be activated."

Mr. Feng was shocked, and said intuitively: "How come, we didn't..."

"Normal living corpses don't have so much blood. There's something wrong with them." Yin Yan interrupted him, emphasizing: "Take everyone away, or everyone will become a sacrifice to the formation."

Elder Feng calmed down a little, glanced at his feet, didn't bother to ask more details, turned around and ran towards the crowd, shouting loudly: "Back! Don't move the living corpses anymore. There is a sacrificial formation under your feet. Their Blood is the nourishment for the activation of formations! Everyone retreat!"

Everyone was stunned, and before they could react, a vision suddenly appeared, and a strange wave suddenly came from the four directions where the villa was located.The living corpses sensed this wave, and all went berserk, rushing towards the monks with a more terrifying speed and force than before.

"Master, the formation is about to start! There is an evil spirit floating from the direction of the villa, it is very strange, and the color is very light." Yu Zhen reminded anxiously, and took out the mahogany sword to help everyone.

"Let's break the eye of the formation to delay the activation of the formation." Yin Yan held him down and looked at nothingness: "Nothingness, go help them retreat."

"Meow~" Void yelled, turned around and turned into its main body, quickly became bigger and lifted into the air, falling towards the monks who were entangled by the living corpses.

Yu Zhen immediately rushed towards the villa with Yin Yan holding the mahogany sword.

The fluctuations became more and more intense, and the turf under his feet seemed to have life, and began to sway intermittently.The sun in the sky gradually dimmed, and in the world of discernment, the red fog became thicker and darker.

Yin Yan rushed into the basement of the first villa, took out the black sword, quickly found the eye of the formation that seemed to be broken, and destroyed it with one blow.Yu Zhen immediately forced out his merits, swept away the evil spirit gathered around the formation eyes, and cut off the power source of the formation eyes.

boom.

A real fire was ignited, and the basement was burned to ashes.

"Go to the next villa."

Yu Zhen nodded, shrinking into inches together with him.

The two cooperated tacitly, and broke all four formation eyes in a blink of an eye. The red mist floating in the air became thinner, and the activation of the formation was delayed, but it did not stop completely.

"There are hidden formations." Yin Yan glanced around, and stretched out his arms to hug Yu Zhen: "It's too late to find, leave first."

Yu Zhen nodded and took the initiative to hug his waist.

As soon as the two shrunk to an inch and moved out of the deep ditch, a strange wave stronger than before came from the center of the four villas. The living corpses that had not been killed sensed the power and went crazy Self-destruct.

Boom boom boom.

Blood splattered, the picture was like hell, the red mist in the air quickly turned thick and black, Yu Zhen let go of Yin Yan, and turned off Discrimination with a serious face, but found that it was the same whether Discrimination was turned off or not. The red mist is so thick that you can see it even if you don't open your discernment.

The nothingness in mid-air spit out all the monks who had been inhaled into the body, fell to the ground and turned into a kitten, and ran back to Yu Zhen.

Elder Feng counted the number of people and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone had withdrawn from the formation. He looked into the red mist-filled formation with lingering fear in his heart: "I have never seen such a large sacrifice formation in my life." .”

If Yu Zhen's master hadn't noticed something was wrong in time, reminded everyone to retreat, and asked spiritual pets to help, all the monks would have become the sacrifice objects of the formation and died here.

Shi Qingyuan took his gaze away from Yu Zhen and Yin Yan, and looked into the formation, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of solemnity and worry: "The sacrificial formation has something to ask for, but I don't know that this formation has made such a What is the big battle for?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank.

This formation is obviously the last and biggest hole card of "Sha". It was formed after almost destroying the central area of ​​the entire base. With such a large amount of money, the result must be astonishing.

Now that the formation has been launched, it's too late to stop it. It seems that all they can do now is wait.

The red mist surged, forming black and red blood clouds that floated towards the sky, blocking the sun and blurring everyone's sight.

"Continue to retreat, the area of ​​influence of the formation is expanding." Yin Yan said, protecting Yu Zhen by his side.

Feng Lao and Kui Gui also saw that the red mist in the formation seemed to spread outwards, and hurriedly called everyone to retreat outwards, so as not to be affected.

Yin Yan and Yu Zhen were at the back of the crowd. After walking a few steps, Yu Zhen's heart beat suddenly for a moment. He stopped walking and grabbed Yin Yan's arm.

"what happened?"

The rapid beating of the heart was only for a moment. Yu Zhen frowned, shook his head, and continued to move forward, saying: "It should be affected by the formation, and my heart beat a little faster."

Hearing this, Yin Yan tightly held his hand.

Plop, clatter.

There was a sudden commotion in front of the crowd, and Yu Zhen looked up, and saw that everyone suddenly dispersed, revealing a large pile of corpses of evil cultivators stacked on top of each other.

"Why did the storage bag containing Xiexiu's corpse break by itself?"

"Why do these corpses emit evil spirits?"

"The evil spirit floated towards the inner formation!"

The discussions among the monks sounded, Yu Zhen looked at the corpses emitting evil spirits, and thought of something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yin Yan: "Master, that sacrificial formation is absorbing the evil spirits around, I..."

"It's okay." Yin Yan clenched his hand tightly, covered him with spiritual energy, turned his head and took a deep look at the formation behind him, waved his hand, released real fire to burn all the corpses of evil cultivators, and reminded loudly: "All enter the body of nothingness, Lift off and leave the area of ​​the island!"

Everyone also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed suit, rushing towards the nothingness body that turned into the main body and opened the tower door.

After everyone entered the tower, Feng Lao stood at the door, looked at Yin Yan and Yu Zhen who were staying outside, and asked with concern: "Aren't you going in? The formation is different, and the tower is dangerous."

"I'll bring Xiaozhen to another magic weapon, so that no one outside will respond when nothing happens." Yin Yan replied, releasing his flying magic weapon.

Only then did Feng Lao feel relieved, he entered the tower completely, and nothingness immediately closed the tower door, and lifted off to leave the area of ​​the island.

As soon as they left, Yu Zhen couldn't help but squatted on the ground, frowning tightly, with strength floating in his body, looking very uncomfortable.

"Close the dantian, and suppress the evil spirit in the body." Yin Yan hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and swung a wave of spiritual energy towards the inner formation, restraining the expansion of the formation for a while, and took Yu Zhen into the flying magic weapon and quickly lifted off .

It wasn't until he completely left the range of the formation that the commotion in Yu Zhen's body gradually calmed down, and his complexion slowly returned to normal.

"This formation is weird." He lay down on the table and ate a ball, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yin Yan patted his head, walked to the window and looked down, and said: "This formation is specially prepared for the evil spirits, it is to seduce the evil energy in your body."

"What should I do now? Is there a way to break the formation?" Yu Zhen asked, worried that if the formation spread like this, not only himself, but also the marine life around the island would suffer.

Yin Yan shook his head: "If you want to break the formation, you must step into the formation again. In your situation, stepping into the formation again will be in danger of becoming enchanted."

Yu Zhen was unwilling to grit his teeth, and wanted to say that Yin Yan could leave him and enter the battle alone, but he didn't want Yin Yan to go into danger alone in his heart, so he swallowed his words and asked instead: "I can only watch helplessly. Is the formation activated? Or is there a way to temporarily block this small island?"

Yin Yan didn't answer, and looked out of the window again, fingering the small tower on his wrist, which was a small thinking movement he had developed recently.

The red mist continued to spread, gradually covering the entire island. The Tower of Nothingness and Yin Yan's flying magic weapon hung above the red mist, and the scene inside could no longer be seen clearly.

The weird fluctuations are getting bigger and bigger, and they are about to spread to where they are now.

Yin Yan suddenly withdrew his gaze, looked at Yu Zhen who was showing discomfort again, and said, "Let Luliu sense Wusha's direction."

Yu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and quickly followed suit.

After receiving the order, the green willow began to dance in mid-air. After a long induction, it gave a long cry and looked towards the center of the inner circle of the island.

"On the island?!" Yu Zhen was very surprised. Just now he and Yin Yan walked the entire inner circle, but found no trace of Wu Sha. He thought Wu Sha was not at the base, but did he?

"Sure enough, the place where Wu Sha retreats is in the center of the sacrificial circle, and this circle is for him." Yin Yan walked up to Yu Zhen, stretched out his hand to him suddenly, and said, "Xiao Zhen, I have It's a way to help you completely get rid of evil spirits in your body, but it's a bit dangerous, would you like to try it?"

Yu Zhen looked at his outstretched hand, then looked into his eyes, and asked, "You want to take me back to the formation?"

Yin Yan nodded, and stretched his hand forward again.

"I will protect you."

"Then I will protect you too." Yu Zhen held his hand without hesitation, smiled, and asked, "If Wusha is really an elder reincarnated..."

"My teacher said, when you become strong, I will let you go out to take revenge." Yin Yan pulled him up, changed back to his appearance in the previous life, raised his hand to touch the corner of his raised mouth, and asked, "Will you recognize me as a teacher?" ?”

"No." Yu Zhen shook his head, a premonition that everything would end today suddenly rose in his heart, hugged his waist, buried his face on his shoulder, closed his eyes, "Master, I will never I will admit you wrong."

Yin Yan bowed his head and kissed him, took back the flying magic weapon, and carried him straight to the island.

Bo Xiu, who had been paying attention to the movement around him, stood up abruptly, and said in shock, "What's going on? Why did Fellow Daoist Feng take the magic weapon and go back to the island?!"

Mr. Feng was shocked, got up and glanced at the place where the flying magic weapon was before, seeing that it was empty, he asked anxiously, "Where is Xiaozhen?"

"I didn't see it, it seems to have been taken down."

The crowd became commotion, Shi Qingyuan stood up suddenly, and said: "Senior Feng and Xiaozhen probably want to go to break the formation alone, I will help!"

Feng Lin also stood up: "I'll go too. Brother Yu and his master are already very tired. It's too dangerous to break the formation. It will be easier for them to help them."

"Sit down for me, you will only delay me if you go!" Feng Lao reprimanded Feng Lin, frowned and turned around a few times, and said: "I will go with Qing Yuan, Bo Xiu will stay to take care of everyone, and Kui Gui... ..."

"I'll go too." Kui Gui took the initiative to stand up.

Elder Feng nodded and said, "Then let's go."

A few people walked to the gate of the tower together, and called for nothingness to let them out of the tower, but there was no movement for a long time, and they called a few more times, nothingness simply went up a lot, bringing them farther away from the island. Far.

Everyone: "..."

"Spiritual pets only listen to the master's words, we seem to be locked up by Senior Feng." Shen Feng who was mixed in the crowd spoke weakly.

"Fart! This is called protection! What do you mean locked up." Feng Lin retorted.

But this rebuttal didn't make everyone any happier. Everyone looked at each other and looked at the small island full of red mist, and the atmosphere of worry was pervasive.
