Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaolen still had some ideas on how to deal with the Red Ape Demon. After all, they had fought him once a hundred years ago. They took it for granted that the Ape Red Demon would still use his trick of releasing the undead captives from the body at first, but it was obvious that this time he wanted to use the trick directly.
"I have already said that my sky-devouring art has reached a whole new level, which is no longer the same as when you saw me a hundred years ago. You will be lucky enough to witness all this today, so it is best to hold on for a long time. It would be too boring if you die without being able to hold on even one move!" The Ape Red Demon said arrogantly, and what he said before he started to use his stunts made Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiao Leng felt unsure.
"Stop talking nonsense! I didn't expect that a big monster like you would need to say so many opening remarks to build momentum for yourself?!" Qian Qi thought about whether to summon the Shenlong Fire Bow first or use the hydration device to summon the Jade Cicada Sword first. Come and fight him while provoking him.
"Hahaha, as expected of a person with dragon blood flowing through his body, that's interesting! Then the fun begins!"
As soon as the Ape Red Devil's words fell, all the lights in the inner hall began to become several times more dazzling than before. He opened his arms and opened his mouth wide, and then released those thick tubes from his mouth and shouted: "Zhao The sky blocks out the sun!”
Although he had seen him spit out tubes from his mouth before, seeing these tubes coming out of his pure copper body and twisting in the air still made Xia Qiu feel his stomach tumbling. Waves of vomiting also followed.
Like her companions, she still didn't quite understand what the Red Ape Demon was going to do with these tubes. This time she didn't find the undead captives at the end of the tube, but something even more incredible soon happened. .
The tubes in the mouth of the Ape Red Demon began to quickly absorb the light in the room. The place it absorbed was not as simple as turning off the lights, but caused an absolute darkness. Their eyes, which had completely lost their sense of light, seemed to be drowning in ink, struggling and groping out of fear. But the strange thing is that the distance between you and your companions was not far just now, but now you can't touch each other at all. I wonder if it is an illusion caused by the darkness? Everyone has become an isolated island in the eternal night, with this uneasy mood ready to face unknown enemies at any time.
"Xia Qiu, where are you?" Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi shouted almost at the same time.
"Sister Xia, are you next to me?" Ling Yu also called her.
But they couldn't get any response, so they couldn't help but worry.
"Hey Hey… "
Only the weird laughter of children echoed in the hall.
"Hush!" It was Wangyue's voice.
He remembered that he had encountered a similar situation when fighting the Green Goblin in the Different World of Shang. He did not rely on his eyes but relied entirely on his hearing to fight against his opponent. Now was the time to make full use of his hearing again. He continued to talk to several teenagers, "I think something grabbed Xia Qiu. I can probably identify the location. Let's keep talking to each other and follow me!"
Several teenagers followed the sound of Wangyue and explored forward in the boundless darkness. Children's laughter would still ring in their ears from time to time. Sometimes the laughter even seemed to be in their ears, making Qianqi couldn't help but swing his sword to strike. .
"Hey, be careful! You almost hurt me!" Ling Yu complained from the side.
"Everyone must pay attention. After the death of his donors, the Red Ape Demon will capture their undead souls. I think he has already released the undead souls of those children while taking advantage of the darkness." Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded others. people.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier when you knew he had this skill? They were probably the ones who captured Xia Qiu!" Qianqi felt somewhat agitated after learning that Ouyang Xiaoleng had forcibly traveled back in time and fought off the red ape demon with Xia Qiu. Lost.
"Now is not the time to complain to each other! No matter what dissatisfaction you have with each other, put it aside for now. Don't use weapons blindly anymore. You might hurt your companions!" Mochizuki scolded them, even though he was usually carefree. state, but at the critical moment, he still had to rely on his age and experience to suppress the few teenagers so that they would not get into trouble.
Ouyang Xiaoleng also felt that he had just been looking for Xia Qiu and had not taken into account that during cooperation, he should tell his companions everything he knew about his opponent without reservation. Being taught by Mochizuki made him sober up a lot.
Qian Qi felt that at such a critical moment, he should not hold on to things that were irrelevant to the battle. After taking a deep breath, he said to Ouyang Xiaoleng: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now!"
"It doesn't matter, the fox's sense of smell should also play a certain role in the dark. Wang Yue and I are the main force, and you and Lingyu are behind. Now we need to save Xia Qiu first, and we will talk about the rest later!" Ouyang Xiaoleng Respond to him with relief.
"Okay!" Qian Qi's knot in his heart was temporarily resolved, and he answered very readily.
Wangyue and Ouyang Xiaoleng judged the location of the undead captives based on their sounds and breaths in the air, while Qianqi and Lingyu followed closely behind. They found that the locations of the undead were scattered, and they were constantly changing their formations, probably to confuse them.
Ouyang Xiaoleng tried his best not to be disturbed by them, and carefully searched for Xia Qiu's scent. Although they tried their best to cover up her scent, he still determined her location. She must have been entangled by many undead captives. They probably covered her mouth to silence her, causing her breath to become weaker and weaker.
He could feel her call. It should be telepathy that only exists between contracting parties. Human beings are the animals that rely most on their eyes, but they were attacked in such an environment. Her fear was obvious. When she thought of this It made him heartbroken, so he had to save her as quickly as possible.
"Xia Qiu, don't be afraid!" He shouted in her direction knowing that she could hear him. He took advantage of the situation and put away the divine ice in his hand. If he drew his sword rashly in the dark, she would be hurt. He had to snatch her back from the undead hands with his bare hands. Then he turned to his companions behind him and said, "Put away your weapons, otherwise Hurt Xia Qiu!"
The ape red demon couldn't help but sigh that the demon king fox boy was really affectionate and loyal to the human girl contractor. He did not hesitate to give up using weapons to fight against his group of undead captives. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and let him seriously hurt her with his own hands or even kill her. He might have killed her, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly stretched out his hand and felt that his hand passed through the body of an undead prisoner. Immediately, he heard its cry of "Ouch" in his ears, but when he took action again, they were no longer there.
Based on the flow of air and faint sounds around him, Mochizuki concluded that the group of undead souls had moved around him. He calmly grabbed one of them and pulled it outward. This seemed to have a chain reaction, and he felt Several of them plopped to the ground one after another.
Qianqi and Lingyu immediately cooperated and stepped forward to capture the undead who landed on the ground. Ouyang Xiaoleng and Wangyue continued to track the other undead that were still moving with Xia Qiu, and once again successfully captured them.
"Huh..." Xia Qiu's breathing suddenly sounded, like a person who had been submerged in water for a long time finally surfaced, and she gasped for air. Just now, because her hands and feet were tightly entangled by the undead, and her mouth was covered by them, she almost suffocated. The long-term lack of oxygen in her brain also made her body stiff.
She fell to the ground, and a pair of hands suddenly appeared and hugged her tightly. At first, she resisted subconsciously because of the terrifying experience just now, but soon she knew who the owner of these hands was. The wonderful body temperature that brought out the warmth could not be anyone else except him. She buried her whole face in his arms and slowly regained her strength.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" In the darkness, Ouyang Xiaoleng's voice rang in Xia Qiu's ears, and she could even feel his breath hitting her face warmly.
"Well! I'm so useless!" Xia Qiu said.
She felt that she had caused trouble for everyone, but she didn't know that this was part of the plan of the monkey red demon. He understood the weight she held in the heart of the demon king fox boy. But now it seems that not only the demon king fox boy, but also the dragon king's son and another boy are very protective of her. As long as she makes good use of this, it should be easy to defeat them.
"Are you done with this trick? What's the use of hiding in the dark all the time!" Qian Qi shouted.
"I don't think he was a great hero of the Demon Spirit Tribe at all. It's almost as if he was a coward!" Ling Yu also agreed.
"Haha, if you can find me, this game will automatically end!" Ape Red Demon said with a calm smile.
Then he activated the magic to release more undead captives and gave them weapons. Although these undead were weak in combat effectiveness, they were not restricted by this "shielding" technique and could move in the darkness. It makes up for the shortcomings in other aspects.
Mochizuki heard that the number of enemies around him was increasing, so he said to a few others: "The five of us should stand as far away as possible, and we are only responsible for destroying the undead around us! Once anyone finds the Ape Red Demon, let everyone know!"
"This time they all have weapons in their hands!" Ouyang Xiaoleng smelled a lot of metal in the air, so he added.
Then Ouyang Xiaoleng guarded the center, Xia Qiu, Qianqi, Lingyu and Wangyue guarded the four directions of the palace, showing their weapons and preparing for the second round of duel with the enemies in the darkness.
"I'm not far from you!" Ouyang Xiaoleng shouted to the east.
"Me too!" Qian Qiye, who was in the south, said to Xia Qiu.
"And me!" Ling Yu's desire to protect his sister Xia was definitely not inferior to that of the two other teenagers.
Mochizuki shook her head and smiled, secretly thinking that it was great to be young. At this time, a dark wind passed through him on his left. He dodged to the side, and the Moon Shadow Knife in his left hand collided with the undead's weapon, making a clanging sound. Because these undead were children, they should be small in stature and naturally not very strong. Unexpectedly, the collision with their weapons made him feel that this was not the case. Their power is much greater than he thought, or is it for some other reason
He couldn't allow him to think any more, and the opponent tried to attack him from the right again. He pushed the undead who was holding the Moon Shadow Knife away with all his strength, then turned around and swept away with the knife based on his hearing.
Bang, after the sound of a weapon falling to the ground, the undead captives entangled him temporarily dispersed around him.
