Zhou Shu searched his memory, going through the types and weaknesses of monsters that fit this habit in his mind, and made a plan to deal with them in advance.

When the evil spirit gradually began to subside, Zhou Shu slowly walked towards the valley.

The valley is extremely deep, with jagged rocks and a cold evil aura, making it very eerie.

Zhou Shu released a simple shielding technique to resist evil spirits.

Evil energy is different from the cold energy that only corrodes the body. It can even invade the sea of ​​consciousness, affecting the spiritual consciousness and mind of the cultivator, causing great damage to the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator, causing him to become crazy, crazy, and even violent and murderous.

When the sea of ​​consciousness is invaded by evil spirits, it is not only extremely damaged, but also very difficult to repair. The sea of ​​consciousness is more difficult to recover than the sea of ​​qi or the qi channels. No elixir can do this, and only a very small number of natural treasures can do it.

However, Zhou Shu was not too worried. Although evil spirits were powerful, there were only a few special monsters or soul beasts that could specifically use evil spirits to attack cultivators. There was absolutely no such thing as terrifying here.

Most of the evil spirits released like this are unconscious actions and can be resisted with just a little spiritual power.

After walking for nearly a mile, Zhou Shu didn't find anything. However, the deeper the valley went, the darker it became. Unlike most valleys, which became wider and wider as they walked, if it weren't for the fact that he could still see a ray of blue sky above his head, he would almost doubt whether he was walking

Went to the cave.

Whoop whoosh!

As I was walking, there was suddenly a strange roar in front of me, mixed with the sound of many wings waving, and it seemed that I was rushing towards this side.

Zhou Shu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, leaning against the mountain wall and staring ahead.

A group of dark things flew over quickly.

They look a bit weird, not like birds but not birds. Their wings are as thin as paper and slightly transparent, and their tails are slit like swallows. The most eye-catching thing is their eyes, which are as red as fire and smell of blood.

Zhou Shu looked carefully and felt relieved.

They are a group of swallow-tailed bats, monster beasts that have not advanced to the next level. Even the promoted bat kings are only at the first level.

But their appearance here is a bit strange. Although swallow-tailed bats like to live in groups in gloomy valleys, generally speaking, where there are evil monsters, ordinary monsters rarely live there. This group of swallow-tailed bats are ordinary monsters.

Shouldn't live here.

Before Zhou Shu could think about it, the swallow-tailed bat had already spotted him, opened its mosquito-like sharp mouth, and pounced towards him.

The Zhuyun Sword flew up and turned into hundreds of cold rays. Every time the sword was stretched out, a swallow-tailed bat would fall to the ground.

But these swallow-tailed bats seemed to care about their lives, and they attacked Zhou Shu one after another, like moths rushing to the flame. Not long after, a large number of swallow-tailed bat corpses fell at Zhou Shu's feet.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour, the attack of the bats slowed down, but at this time, there were only three bats left in the huge group of bats, and all the others were dead.

These three were all bat kings. They stared at Zhou Shu with their red eyes, screamed, and attacked Zhou Shu in three directions.

Zhou Shu's expression was solemn, without a trace of fear, and the Zhuyun Sword in his hand shone brighter.

I had a deeper understanding of the Rapid Rain Sword Technique before, and now there are monsters coming to test the sword, which is perfect.

The Bat King was extremely fast, changing its position dozens of times in the air in an instant, and Zhou Shu's sword was also very changeable. No matter how the three Bat Kings moved around, they were still unable to break through Zhou Shu's sword rain.

Instead, the sharp tines kept colliding with the Cloud-Chasing Sword, making clanging sounds.

The sword test lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and Zhou Shu seemed to realize something. The sword in his hand became faster and faster, like thunder and rain. Only three whining sounds were heard in succession, and the bat kings fell down one after another, completing their mission.

.

Zhou Shu looked around, slightly shocked.

Within three to five feet around, there are swallow-tailed bat corpses everywhere, roughly counting thousands of them. They are piled on top of each other like fallen leaves in the forest, making people feel horrified.

It is really unreasonable. It is rare for a monster like the swallow-tailed bat to actively attack a cultivator, let alone such a suicidal attack like a moth rushing to the flame.

Zhou Shu thought for a while and gradually understood.

The swallow-tailed bat must have been infected by the evil spirit, which entered its brain and became so crazy.

This group of swallow-tailed bats has been living in this valley. Later, evil beasts invaded. They were reluctant to leave their place of residence and lived with them. However, as time went by, they were infected by a lot of evil spirits, and they became like this

appearance.

Based on the analysis of how low-level monsters like the swallow-tailed bat can withstand evil spirits, it can be seen that the evil monsters in this valley have not been here very long, probably less than half a year.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shu felt relieved. In such a short time, it seemed that there would probably be no corpse monsters here.

The teeth of swallow-tailed bats are an ordinary weapon-refining material. There are probably tens of thousands of them here, but Zhou Shu didn't have time to pick them up one by one. He only cleaned up the three king bats and continued to explore the valley.

.

If you have time when you come back, you can tidy it up.

The valley gets deeper and the bloody smell becomes stronger. From time to time, the remains of monster beasts can be seen. The monster beasts are basically the first level, and they have all become the prey of evil monster beasts. They still have some traces of being bitten on their bodies.

Zhou Shu became increasingly cautious and moved forward step by step.

When they reached the center of the valley, there was an extra road in front of them. Zhou Shu didn't think much about it and just walked along the side with the most evil spirits.

At the end, the way was blocked by a steep mountain wall. There was a dark hole on the mountain wall, about ten feet wide.

The cave was pitch black, deep and winding, and the specific situation could not be seen at all. There was evil energy coming out from the entrance of the cave, which became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that the evil beast was inside.

Without the external consciousness, it is really difficult to detect such a cave, but after accepting the task, I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

If you wait at the door for the evil beast to come out to look for food, it will be more difficult to deal with the hungry evil beast, and now the evil beast may be full and sleeping inside, so the chance is greater.

Entering the cave, we walked less than three feet when bam!

A slender black shadow slammed towards Zhou Shu with lightning speed.

The cave was so small that there was no way to dodge, so Zhou Shu could only retreat quickly. But the black shadow was extremely fast, and it flew in front of Zhou Shu in an instant.

Zhou Shu could only stretch out his arms to block it.

There was a crisp sound, and the wristband on his arm immediately broke into several pieces.

But Zhou Shu also took advantage of this block and quickly retreated with the force of the counter-shock, rushing outside the cave.

When he raised his hand to look, he saw a deep black mark on his arm. It was obvious that the black shadow was so powerful that it not only shattered the first-level low-grade magic weapon wristband in one blow, but even his golden glass couldn't bear it.

, if it were an ordinary cultivator, I'm afraid the arm would have been severed at that time.

Zhou Shu looked towards the cave with a serious look on his face, "Who, come out!"

The black shadow just now was definitely not the attack method of some evil beast. He could see clearly that it was 100% a black long sword!

There are actually cultivators in the cave!
Chapter completed!
