In the middle of the night, a giant insect-shaped beast emerged from the heart of the mountain, and it suddenly spoke human words. This situation is easily reminiscent of those rumors about spirits.
The word monster refers to an alien with human-like emotional intelligence. Although this statement has been around since ancient times, Li Muye didn't take it seriously. Evolution is a step-by-step process. It is generally accepted in the scientific community that humans evolved from marine organisms. This evolution process, which is completely speculative and cannot be confirmed, took about hundreds of millions of years. It is understandable that a beast has lived for hundreds of years and gained wisdom, but it is a bit nonsense to evolve or transform into a human being and speak Chinese with an accent.
The Insect Earth Master Sect is a mysterious portal with many secret techniques and magic that are unimaginable to outsiders. But in the final analysis, it is a martial art derived from the study of specific species. All mysteries have their own reasons and rules to follow. For example, the art of catching dragons by the insect master of the sun, and the art of raising insects (same as earthworms) by the insect master of the moon. The former is done in an unethical way and can cause harm to the aquarium of a river, which will not prosper for ten years; while the latter is used in an evil way, and even You can kill the city with plague.
These magic tricks were so shocking that people at the time were ignorant and thought they were the work of supernatural beings. In fact, these thaumaturgy are all artificially researched by using the principle of natural creation and defeat. When strange beasts speak, they are probably caused by demons and misbehavior.
"Xuanchen raised a pig-headed monster that liked to curse. It was an ancient humanoid creature. Old Xuanchen once told me that in ancient times, there were powerful people who liked to conduct experiments and mixed the genes of humans and beasts to create The new species of half man and half beast has come, with the wisdom of humans and the ferocity of beasts. The world is ignorant and thinks that monsters are actually just creatures of flesh and blood. Later, they were eliminated by history. Therefore, don’t say that this insect is nothing more than a beast. He is a Xibei guy who is pretending to be a ghost. Even if he is really a monster, there is no need to care too much about him. After he is killed, what he can eat is food and what he cannot eat are medicinal materials. This is how our ancestors came here."

Li Muye was holding the wine bottle with a sullen expression, squinting at the big bug talking in human language and the blind old man riding an eagle in front of him. He didn't pay attention to the strange formation on the other side, but instead gave in to evil. An Yiru popularizes the origin of the term monster.
There are many rumors about monsters from ancient times to the present, among which several interesting stories are recorded in Taiping Guangji.
When Liu Chedong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was patrolling to Hangu Pass, he was blocked by a monster. The monster was several feet long and shaped like a cow. It had gleaming black eyes and its four feet were sunk deeply into the soil. No one could move it. The officials were shocked and frightened. Dongfang Shuo came up with the idea to drink wine into the monster. After drinking dozens of bottles of wine, the monster finally disappeared. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked what kind of monster it was. Dongfang Shuo said that the monster was called You and was born from illness. This place must be the location of Qin Prison. The criminals gather here. Only when they are drunk can they forget their worries, so I asked people to use wine to eliminate this monster. The emperor praised and said, you are really a more knowledgeable and talented person than anyone else!
Drinking can make you forget your worries, maybe it has something to do with this little story.
"Uncle, it's time for you to stop telling ghost stories. They have designed an ambush to kill us." Evilai was a little anxious and said, "This insect is so ugly and can still talk. You see?" Be knowledgeable and tell me what kind of monster this is?"
Li Muye took a closer look and saw that the giant beast emerged from the belly of the mountain. It had a head like a rabbit, with sparkling eyes. It had a body like an earth dragon, and a huge body with a diameter of more than one and a half meters. It was estimated that it could swallow one in one mouthful. It takes no effort at all. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Damn it, I've never seen this weird thing before. Old Monster Liang likes to play with earth dragons and specializes in tinkering with weird things underground. Where did he get this thing?" Fresh stuff from the cracks."
Xilai was greatly disappointed and said, "I've been talking about it for a long time, but you still don't know what this thing is."
Li Muye covered his lips, coughed twice, and said, "Although I don't know the origin of this thing, I have already seen the secret of its ability to speak human words."
An Yiru said: "I guess that thing has a wireless sound transmission device hidden in its mouth, and someone is using its mouth to pretend to be a ghost."
Li Muye said: "Although it's not in the middle, it's not far away." He smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know after a while."
"I've heard about Mr. Li for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. Even in the face of danger, he could still talk and laugh with ease. He is worthy of being a first-rate figure among the rising stars in the world." The blind old man suddenly said: "The old man Chu Wuji, turned into Sushen in the outer Beihai. People from the tribe, invited by my old friend Liang Hongnong, are waiting here tonight for Mr. Li to borrow something from you."
Li Muye had never heard of this name, but he knew that the Sushen tribe was the Jurchen tribe. In addition to living in the northern Liaodong region, there was also a small population in the bitter cold lands of the Far East. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and conquered the beautiful world, not all the solemn Jurchens followed the Dedao chicken and dog to ascend to heaven. There were also a few people who fought with the Aixinjueluo family for many years in the early days. After their defeat, they turned north and went into hiding. They have survived and thrived in the bitter cold land to this day.
The Huawai Beihai that Chu Wuji refers to refers to Lake Baikal. The Northland is bitterly cold and vast, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas. There are many nomadic peoples hidden in the mountains, rivers and forests. It is not surprising that this person comes from there. What really attracts attention is the huge bird he rides towards.
This bird was extraordinary and handsome, with red feathers like fire, white claws like jade, and a pair of golden eyes that were extremely sharp. Li Muye had already roughly guessed its origin just by looking at it.
"Mr. Chu's Haidongqing is pretty good," Li Muye said.
Chu Wuji was stunned and said: "Mr. Li is joking. You Han people always think that Haidongqing is just another name for Gyrfalcon. How can there be such a big bird that can fly nine days away and weighs a hundred kilograms in the world?"
Li Muye said: "There is a cloud in the Feather Insect Sutra. There are three hundred and sixty Feather Insects. The most handsome person is Haidong Qing. His nature is golden and his spirit contains the virtue of fire. Different materials reflect the Yaoguang star. He also said that when Liaodong was carved out, the gods No one is more handsome than Hai Dongqing, who is the god of thousands of eagles. One of the eagles may emerge from a hundred thousand eagles. In fact, he is a worm among worms and the king of the sky."
Chu Wuji said: "Mr. Li is indeed very knowledgeable. Since you can guess the origin of my bird, why not guess what I want you to borrow?"
Li Muye pointed at his own head and said, "You want to borrow my head to make a deal with Liang Hongnong." He then said, "Looking at the way you are, you should be from the Insect Control Sect. You and I have no connection in the past. , Let’s not talk about grudges, if it weren’t for Liang Hongnong, the ancestor of the Moon Department, there would be no reason to take the risk to trouble me.”
Chu Wuji nodded slowly and said: "Chu and Mr. Li had no enmity in the past and have no enmity in recent times. The ambush here today is all because of the entrustment of friends. All actions are only on behalf of the old man and have nothing to do with my clan... "During the conversation, there seemed to be hesitation and embarrassment.
"If you are afraid that others will seek revenge on you the next day, then try to be as clean as possible." Li Muye said: "You can tell me a thousand words, no matter why you came, it is always for me, the leader of the six suns. This kind of thing will happen again. Is there room for change? So there is no need to talk nonsense, what skills can you bring to the table?"
"Brother Chu, you just watch from the side. I will prepare these few pieces of food." The monster with the body of an earth dragon and a rabbit head and snake eyes spoke again. Then, there was a sudden tremor of the mountain and the earth. A huge eight-foot-long body emerged completely from the heart of the mountain, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed toward Li Muye, spitting out fishy cold air.
Evilai lunged forward. The boy said he was scared, but when he actually moved his hands, he was unequivocal. He unhooked the latest powerful compound bow from his back and pulled out a wolf-tooth-piercing carved feather arrow from the beast pot. In an instant, he bent his bow and shot an arrow.
There was just a whoosh, and a bit of cold light shot straight into the monster's eyes.
This thing was quite clever. When he saw the fierceness of the arrow, he quickly moved his head, revealing his black armor-like exoskeleton.
The evil arrow hit the thing's exoskeleton and made a clanging sound. The thing just shrunk its neck slightly, opened its bloody mouth and rushed straight at the evil creature. This thing moved as fast and violent as the wind. Although it was an insect, it was as agile as a tiger or leopard. It was in front of Evil Lai in an instant. Evil Lai hurriedly used the compound bow in his hand as a melee weapon. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward, facing the momentum of the strange insect. He narrowly avoided the monster's big mouth, and at the same time used the compound bow to hit the monster's cheek hard.
The giant monster passed by Evilai, and suddenly turned around and opened its big mouth at Evilai. There was already a distance of several meters between the two, but the thing suddenly spit out a white light from its mouth and shot towards Evilai like lightning.
The attack came suddenly, and Evilai had no time to dodge. Seeing the white light coming, he could only stand up his compound bow to resist it. Just hearing a pop, a streak of colored glaze cut through the night, colliding with the white light, bursting into brilliant colors.
Without any hesitation, Evilai immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot arrows continuously at the giant monster using the nine-star continuation technique. The first arrow hit the body and didn't seem to have much impact, but the second arrow shot directly into the troll's eye, and the one-and-a-half-foot-long arrow sank neatly into it.
The giant monster felt pain, stood upright, and let out a painful and angry cry. Almost at the same time, many similar echoes echoed one after another in the surrounding mountains.
The surroundings shook violently, as if thousands of horses were galloping and gathering towards a single point.
Chu Wuji said loudly: "Mr. Li, with your intelligence, you should know that we have prepared this game for you tonight. That old man Yan Xuanjing pretended to cooperate with us, but what he did has long been exposed by my god." The magpie army discovered that the truth is true, the Yan family is under the control of the old man, both internally and externally. I deliberately pretended to take the bait in order to catch you, a big fish."
Li Muye smiled and said: "It seems that the fish you want to catch has been hooked. Now it depends on whether your fishing gear is powerful enough."
Chu Wuji said: "If it is not a last resort, Chu will not want to form a deadly feud with you, Mr. Li. If you are willing to surrender and go to see Master Liang with me, others here tonight will be safe from the murderous hands."
Li Muye smiled and asked: "Your proposal is good, but why do you think you can let me catch you?"
Chu Wuji said: "Just rely on my Nikan Sushen tribe's one hundred headhunters and this condor Hai Dongqing beside me."
Li Muye ignored him, but turned to An Yiru and said, "Do you know now why the monster can speak human language in its mouth?"
"There's a person in this thing's mouth!" An Yiru said: "The white light just now was shot by that person with a weapon."
Li Muye said: "It is recorded in Youyang Zazu that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a headhunting country on the coast of the northeastern country of Liaoning. The country inherited a miraculous dragon training technique, which specialized in raising children of several years old in fixed containers from an early age. Soak its bones in a mixture of oxalic acid and feed on milk slices and tendons to strengthen its muscles and bones. When it is in its teens, it will be used to hide in the mouth of a strange beast, hold the polyps in its throat, and make it obey its orders and hunt it down. There is almost no prey that is impossible to catch on land and sea, and such people are called headhunters."
An Yiru looked over with admiration and said, "Why do you know everything?"
Li Muye said: "Liu Changfeng once had an island where he collected many ancient unique books and recorded many interesting and strange things. He once did detailed research on ancient ruins and related materials in the Arctic Circle. I was there I have lived on the island for a while and have read almost all the books in the collection, and I happened to come across this record."
Chu Wuji said: "Mr. Li is indeed a master of the world. Since you know the origin of the Headhunting Army, you should understand what the existence of a hundred Headhunting Army means."
"You can't rule the world if you have a hundred more." Li Muye joked: "And I don't believe you have a hundred headhunters and monsters like this."
Chu Wuji was furious, pointed at Li Muye and shouted: "Mr. Li, you are insulting the honor of my Sushen people!"
Li Muye said: "Since you are forcing me to surrender to you, don't you allow me to doubt whether you have the strength?"
Chu Wuji nodded slightly, rolled his strange blue-grey eyes, and said: "Mr. Li seems to be determined to taste the power of my sea blue."
A gust of wind blew up, and the giant bird had already fluttered its wings and soared in the sky. In an instant, it turned back and swooped down, and a pair of sharp claws of white jade cold hooks went straight to Brother Xiaoye's head!
An Yiru ripped off his coat and threw it in the direction of the giant eagle. At the same time, he flew up and put his hand on Brother Xiaoye's shoulder. His whole body was suspended upside down, like a ball of reverse. The tornado struck directly towards the belly of the giant eagle and kicked it.
With a bang, the giant eagle was kicked by her feet, and its huge figure paused in the air. Then its wings vibrated violently, and the strong wind blew up, making An Yiru's long hair and clothes make a hunting sound. The giant eagle had already fluttered its wings and soared high, but soon swooped down again. An Yiru wanted to stand up to fight against him, but was grabbed by Li Muye and held him in his arms.
Snap!
Li Muye suddenly snapped his fingers and said: "From now on, I am the biggest in the world of this country. If you fight me on my territory and at my door, you are still not good enough!" Before he finished speaking, the mountains behind him were far away. Suddenly there was a ball of fire, followed by a loud bang, and a rocket with a tail pulling the line of fire was fired, heading straight towards the strange green beast of Haidong, which was probably the only one left in the world... ..
