Chapter 155 The Hunter and the Prey
Zhou Xing guessed that Xie Changsheng was nearby.
But he felt that now was not the time to do it.
He considers:
First, Xie Changsheng has also lived for thousands of years, and for such a long time, his activity has always been okay, but he has never capsized, at least it proves that this person has no obvious character flaws.
Second, after Xie Tianci fell into a deep sleep, he always entrusted the operation of the Taixu Palace to him, which shows that his ability is excellent.
Third, the intelligence obtained from the system also shows that this person is lawless and cunning at the same time.
In the face of such an opponent, Zhou Xing thought that he basically only had one chance to make a move.
So he's waiting for a suitable opportunity, or rather, he's creating an opportunity.
He wanted to convince Xie Changsheng that he, like those opponents Xie Changsheng had encountered in the past, was helpless against his top-level earth escape technique blessed by the power of the earth immortals.
Not only that, but he also pondered this matter from another angle.
He believes that as a 'powerful reincarnation', if it is true that there is no trick at all, it also seems a little fake, which makes the old treacherous and cunning suspicious.
So he used a disposable Earth Flamethrower.
He just wanted Xie Changsheng to see that he had the means to deal with the shallow target, but that's it.
Combined with the information he knew, he had reason to believe that just this level could not scare Xie Changsheng.
The fact was indeed as Zhou Xing analyzed, Xie Changsheng was very wary of Zhou Xing, but he was not frightened by the earth flame cannon that instantly devoured more than a dozen vicious ghosts and earth spirit slaves.
On the one hand, it is habitual.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Xie Changsheng has always done this, and he has benefited from it again and again, and then formed a cautious habit.
On the other hand, it is out of fear of Zhou Xing.
If at this stage, there is a force in this world that overestimates Zhou Xing's strength, then it must be the Taixu Palace.
Even Fu Shan and Zhou Tong are at least inferior to Taixu Palace in this regard.
Thank God for a long time, there was a famous saying: "There is no shame in fear, and a little peep is death." ”
In response to Zhou Xing's actions, he also complained about the world's group cultivators:
"These juniors, ignorance, but also conceited and arrogant, stupid and tough, incorrigible.
The facts are all in front of them, and they still refuse to believe it, just because the facts seem too absurd in their shallow cognition.
Is it really ridiculous?
Throughout the history of the Yunxiao Sect for more than 10,000 years, when has there ever been a ruthless person who has slashed six hundred cultivators in a row? Even small teams, or even large magic circles, have no such records.
Why?
Because the heart is not enough, the thinking is not good, and the technology is not successful.
I can't even think about it, I can't think of how to do it, let alone how to achieve it.
Just from this point of view, it can be clearly found that Zhou Xing and the Yunxiao Sect, and even the monks of the Xuanmen Righteous Path today, are not all the way at all.
It's not about being smarter and wiser, it's about being more open-minded.
This open-mindedness comes from seeing the big market.
I have seen and even experienced the fairy war that really affects thousands of worlds. will give birth to the courage to kill thousands of monks in one game.
Not to mention technology, mature technology is tempered by thousands of years.
Suddenly appeared, there has never been a similar precedent before, in addition to the 'Su Hui inheritance', is there a more reasonable explanation?
Therefore, even if the Yunxiao Sect really has the so-called hidden manpower of the shadows, the game of Horseshoe Valley must be the absolute dominance of Zhou Xing.
What's more, there is also circumstantial evidence of the three refining of the Shen Kingdom's spiritual vein.
Even the ancient Buddha country that was targeted by the Heavenly Craft. It has also been proved from the side that people who have seen the big scene are different, the pattern is grand, with its own domineering, the legendary forbidden art, in terms of it, it is just a powerful attack that is slightly more complex than ordinary means.
If you have such an opponent, you would rather overestimate it than underestimate it......"
It is precisely because of the importance that Xie Tianci did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to make the abyss collapse, and arrange for all kinds of forces to enter the country, just to make a pit and a circumferential game.
He didn't even think about relying on this pit to kill Zhou Xing.
His purpose this time was just to test as much as possible to see what hole cards Zhou Xing had.
He earnestly taught Xie Changsheng and Shang Qing: "The strength of the opponent is not a reason for us to give up the struggle. If he stands in our way, we must bring him down.
Without the courage to take risks, we would not be where we are today.
Observe, analyze, test, beat. We take four steps.
And now, we at least know that this week's line is still in a state of 'eye master and low hand', Su Hui has awakened, but his strength has not kept up.
Given time, there is indeed a high probability that he will return to his old outlook, or even go to the next level.
But now, he is relatively weak, and he can only rely on clever means to support his strong pattern and get what he wants.
And the first thing we have to do is to figure out his tricks.
Don't worry too much, this kind of technique that can be used in a low-level state, even if there is, it can't be too many, it's actually rarer than those so-called peerless secret techniques......"
Xie Changsheng has always been convinced of Xie Tianci, so he was cautious and made up his mind not to have direct contact with Zhou Xing.
He said in his heart: "I don't give you a chance at all, even if it's a clone, I don't have direct contact with you, I don't believe what you can do to me in this situation!" ”
However, this idea is exactly what Zhou Xing wants and calculates.
He also walked in several steps.
First, he just hoped and even indulged Xie Changsheng, making him think that as long as the doppelganger did not have direct contact with him, he would be helpless to do anything about it.
After this prerequisite is reached, second, to achieve the small goals of bankrupting the temptation of the Taixu Palace, so that the side of the Taixu Palace that does not move smoothly will be annoyed and agitated first.
Third, when the Taixu Palace began to use the trump card, it showed the enemy weakness and made him think that he was at the end of the strong crossbow.
Fourth, use the Heavenly Eye Treasure Basket to reconnoiter and seek the enemy in a large area, and then complete the lore with the Soul Silence Dao Talisman.
It has to be said that in such a contest of hunter-prey versus prey, at least at this stage, he is under more pressure and negative emotions due to passivity.
Many people died right under his nose, men, women, the elderly, children...... Yes, he even raised the butcher's knife himself, which deprived people of their lives, and the other party had no grudge against him.
This feeling is not uncomfortable at all, even if he has experienced it more than once before, it is still not so dull that it becomes natural. If you have to say that you have made progress and are more tolerant, it is true.
He tried his best to turn these negative emotions into anger and blame them on the evil of thanksgiving. Although from the perspective of fairness in his opinion, the matter is very complicated, and many factors have caused the current situation, the responsibility is far from being just a blessing from God.
But he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he was simpler and naïve, threw all the pots to Xie Tianci, and then tried to knock it down, and this evil breath was basically vented.
is like a line from a movie in my previous life said: I can't save, I can only take revenge.
Or else? Is it for the sake of enlightenment, to set off a social revolution in this world from the mundane to the extraordinary?
He didn't feel that he had the determination and perseverance to take on such a great undertaking.
But now, it seems, he has been given another opportunity to experiment with social change at a lower cost.
Roughly calculated, after completing Yangping's refugee rescue, the population in the ark was about 950,000. This is already after all the Ark theory withstands the limit of a million people.
Because of the semi-house arrest and isolation resettlement strategy that has been implemented, coupled with the fact that it has not been long and there are many injured people, people have suffered disasters, and taking care of sick relatives and friends have consumed a lot of mental and physical energy, so they seem to be stable.
But he knows that this stability will not last long, and people will inevitably have more demands for resettlement.
There is even a hidden danger of 'Shengmien, Doumi', subtext: Save people to the end, rescue us, just throw it wherever you go, what's going on? You're such a big immortal, can't you arrange everything in the back?
If you really have to wait until people say something like this in public, it will be passive, even too late.
can be changed from another angle, with a population of nearly one million, this is also the first time he has chased ducks on the shelves.
He was not a Spring Festival dispatcher in his previous life, and the mess in front of him is not as simple as the Spring Festival, so it is impossible not to panic.
Of course, there is no problem that the system can't solve.
But that was a last resort, and if he was not forced to do so, he was unwilling to break this case of krypton disaster relief.
This kind of thing, he took care of it alone, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think it was appropriate. Not to mention the great kindness and hatred, we should rush to the advantages and importance of 'participation', and we should not bear the difficulties of the world alone.
What's even more disgusting is that the sect may not be able to count on anything, and it is even likely that this is his weakness, and he may use this to make conditions, or make him owe favors......
"Solution, we must think of an effective solution for travel as soon as possible!"
In the blink of an eye, it was almost midnight, and the situation in Pingyang City became worse and worse.
The dead rain had stopped, and the land that could be severely eroded by the turbidity, and the turbidity power that filled the air, made it seem like the underworld, and the people of the Yang world were suffering damage every moment in this area.
However, with the efforts of Zhou Xing, the puppets, and the refugee rescue team, the rescue work in terms of personnel has basically stabilized at this time.
Even those who had not yet boarded the ship were given talismans, so that they had a basic guarantee that there would be no problems for a while.
The challenge lies in the recycling of materials.
It's really a race against the rapid changes in the environment.
To this end, Zhou Xing did his best, including letting the puppets who could use the talisman to collect resources with the talisman.
The upper limit of the material throughput per unit time of the ark has been forced to reach the limit in this case, and as a last resort, even the portal of the Xuanbing Cave has been opened.
And Xie Changsheng was naturally not idle during this time, he tried to infiltrate and infiltrate the ark and even the Xuanbing Cave by creating a 'parasitic beast', and later saw that Zhou Xing's work to prevent micro things was very well done, and there were no loopholes to drill, so he simply let the parasitic beast destroy it.
Soul Beasts are cultivated from 'Soul Eggs'.
And the soul egg, derived from the Demon Soul Tree, is a special fruit.
The Demon Soul Tree originated from a secret method of the Demon Dao, which was obtained by Xie Tianci in his early years of destroying the remnants of the Demon Dao.
If you want to generate a Demon Soul Tree, in addition to the Demon Soul Tree species, there are also very harsh conditions, including killing and sacrificing, and so on.
But the most important thing is that you need to have special immortal power in order to grow normally, otherwise this species cursed by the Heavenly Dao will not be able to survive against the heavens in this realm.
In the end, the Demon Soul Tree fell into Xie Changsheng's hands.
Xie Changsheng's main work, the main job, is to transform the power of the earth immortal and raise this tree.
He raised the Demon Soul Tree, mainly not because of love, nor for one more sharp means, but for survival.
His age is thousands of years older than Shang Qingdu, and compared to the Mahayana three-thousand-year limit longevity, he should have died a long time ago.
If you can not die, you can rely on semi-fusion with the Demon Soul Tree to hang your life.
He had to suffer all the time, as if he were being tormented by eternal punishment. The pain of the Demon Soul Tree's erosion of the soul can only be ended if it is devoured by the Demon Soul Tree.
The price is so big, and what you get is not only the sustenance of the soul and soul, but also the soul egg.
This peculiar half-plant, half-flesh fruit grows by devouring the negative emotions of the person, and determines the final type, and the flesh deprivation is relatively secondary.
Tonight, Xie Changsheng used the soul egg to cultivate five types of soul beasts: fear, anger, resentment, sorrow, and hatred. Appropriate adaptation to local conditions.
A considerable part of it is also due to Zhou Xing.
It's because of the merit and yin virtue screening mechanism that he came up with.
This mechanism is tantamount to directly declaring that virtue is at a loss and can wait for death.
Which of those people can recognize?
It's just that not to mention Zhou Xing himself, even the puppets he dispatched, all have the strength to absolutely crush these people, and they can't bear it if they don't admit it.
Seeing others being saved, but being able to rot in this terrible environment, no matter how much you swear and swear, promise to change your mind, or plead bitterly......
The torment, resentment, and resentment in my heart are frenzied, and some even collapse and go crazy on the spot.
Such a person is a suitable object for parasitism of the soul egg.
Even the parasitic beasts born from them are often extraordinarily powerful, and they are directly the strength of the Fake Dan level.
The potential is also sufficient, if there are more opportunities to grow and devour more souls of the same kind, then it is completely possible to form a magic pill.
In order to deal with the invasion of such powerful monsters, Zhou Xing could only put the Big Dipper Nine Stars into battle, advance and retreat together, and defend the East City in the form of a battle array.
Black and white impermanence still led six puppets to guard the south and north cities.
He himself is stationed in the central area, which is the hub of the flow of people, the treatment point, the boarding point, and the boarding point, which are basically concentrated in this area.
The Ark of Doom stopped over the west of the city, and the strength of its warship firepower and repeated demonstrations showed that the deterrent power was still okay.
Xie Changsheng saw that he still couldn't find out the bottom of Zhou Xing, so he asked the ghost cultivator to release a group of ghosts to attack.
These ghost cultivators were not hired on an impromptu basis, but a branch of the Taixu Palace.
The institution calls itself the Underworld Sect, and its origins can be traced back to the Ghost God Sect, the predecessor of the God of War Temple.
In other words, in fact, the Underworld Sect was a faction of the Ghost God Sect back then.
Under the background of the aura being full, the turbidity being subdued, and the demons being almost completely eliminated, the Ghost God Sect took the road of Xuanmen, which can be regarded as adapting to the environment and the general trend.
But after all, there are still some monks who have taken a more extreme path, and they have no way to change their ways, and they are not willing to destroy the foundation and rebuild.
Coupled with the Taixu Palace's intentional support, this faction has always been similar to 'only raising officers and not soldiers.' The model has been passed down to this day, and this is the Underworld.
And now that the turbidity tide has come, spring has arrived in the eyes of ghost cultivators.
More than a dozen ghost cultivators patted the huge Xuanyin gourd on their backs, and black smoke came out of the gourd's mouth. The black smoke flickered and twisted, forming a trumpet-like radial shape in the shape of a trombone, and many nurturing ghosts rushed out of it.
Hundreds of ghosts walked at night, not hundreds, but hundreds, and the total number was tens of thousands, taking advantage of the extraordinarily deep underworld-like environment at midnight, like ants attacking the city, from outside the east of the city to Pingyang City.
