Chapter 023 "The Purple Star Aura Observation Classic", Onmyoji's Magic Array
According to the "Ziwei Wangqi Jing", there is a malevolent creature hidden underground!
Pengyuegou is also a rare and auspicious place!
Not only did they bury Guo Hama, a general of the Jin Dynasty, but he also transformed into a red pheasant.
If the feng shui had been even slightly worse, Guo Hama's corpse would have rotted into a pile of bones long ago, and would never have turned into a corpse monster!
Also, the giant ground sloth from the exotic beast grassland is probably wandering around, heading for the rare and precious treasures.
"Old Hu, you continue searching for the tomb entrance here. I'm going back to the camp first."
With that, Zhang Tiange turned around.
Seeing this, Yingzi decisively chose to go with Zhang Tiange, because that's where she felt safe!
"Old Hu, are you done for?"
Fatty Wang shook his head.
"Fatty, stop interrupting—"
Hu Bayi said irritably.
However, when he saw Zhang Tiange heading back, his intuition told him that something was about to happen.
"Uncle Zhang, let me go help too."
Hu Bayi put away the compass and said.
Soon, the group returned to their previous camp.
When Fatty Wang saw that the campfire was about to go out, he rushed over and added a few more dry branches!
Upon seeing their owner Yingzi return, Huzi and the other dogs immediately surrounded her, wagging their tails incessantly.
Zhang Tiange did not linger, but walked to the poplar tree where the white horse was tied.
next second.
A burst of golden dragon energy suddenly erupted from his body.
Zhang Tiange raised his right hand slightly, spread his five fingers, and golden light burst forth from his palm.
The dragon's energy condensed into a lifelike golden dragon claw.
The dragon scales are as clear as if they were cast!
The tips of their claws gleamed with a sharp, cold light!
"Heavenly Dragon's Claw"!
Zhang Tiange's right arm suddenly sank down.
The golden dragon claw instantly grew several times larger.
It expanded from about ten feet in size to more than thirty feet.
With a sharp whistling sound, it lunged towards the hillside where the poplar tree was!
Before the dragon claws even touched the ground, the extremely yang dragon energy they carried had already caused the ground to crack.
The poplar tree above shook violently, and the soil at its roots crumbled away.
The next second, the golden dragon claw slammed into the ground.
A loud "Bang!"
The dragon's energy spread along the soil, like a thunderclap exploding underground!
"Awooo—!"
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from underground.
The sound was so loud it hurt people's eardrums, and Tiger and his pack of dogs were also terrified.
Tiger bravely stood in front of Yingzi, ready to deal with any unexpected situation!
Immediately afterwards, a loud "BOOM!" rang out.
The hillside where the poplar tree was located collapsed and caved in as if it had been crushed by a heavy object!
Several mature poplar trees were uprooted and fell to the ground with a thud, carrying soil and gravel, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun.
The ground in the depression was cracked with several jagged ravines, and dark brown soil mixed with some kind of viscous liquid kept seeping out from the cracks.
"Back off!"
Hu Bayi reacted quickly, grabbing Wang Pangzi who was trying to move forward.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, watching the collapsed area warily through the swirling dust.
After a short while, the dust gradually settled.
Fatty Wang eagerly turned on his flashlight, casting a beam of orange light.
What came into view was a pit several meters deep.
The bottom of the pit was filled with broken rocks and broken wood.
The most shocking sight was the large patch of dark red bloodstains spreading across the bottom of the pit, slowly flowing through the cracks in the soil and emitting a foul stench.
"Goodness... what is this blood?"
Fatty Wang gasped, the beam of his flashlight sweeping across the bottom of the pit before suddenly stopping in a shadowy spot.
"Uncle Zhang, look what's that?"
He asked hurriedly.
Yingzi, Hu Bayi, and the others looked in the direction of the beam of light.
From the shadows at the bottom of the pit, a section of a body covered in thick armor was visible.
The armor was dark brown and rough, like old tree bark!
At this moment, fresh blood was gushing out from the gaps in the armor.
Occasionally, you can see a thick limb twitching slightly.
Yingzi had already taken her hunting rifle off her shoulder and aimed it at the creature in the pit.
"Yingzi, what is this?"
After a while, Fatty Wang asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before."
Yingzi shook her head and said, "However, we'd better not go any closer—"
"Don't worry, he's already dead."
Zhang Tiange said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang took out entrenching tools from their bags and jumped into the deep pit.
After the two of them shoveled away all the dirt, the monster's full appearance was revealed!
That was an animal as big as a water buffalo!
It looks a bit like a bear, with a layer of brown and black mane covering its body. Its forelimbs are particularly thick and have three sharp claws about a foot long, which are hooked!
Zhang Tiange told Hu Bayi, Yingzi and the others that this was a distant relative of the grassland ground sloth!
"It absorbs the malevolent energy from the earth's veins to cultivate itself, and its leather armor can withstand ordinary swords and spears!"
Zhang Tiange said calmly.
Hu Bayi stared at the enormous prairie ground sloth, deeply shocked.
It's incredible that Master Zhang could kill such an ancient beast with a single claw strike!
Fatty Wang stared at the giant ground sloth's thick armor, his eyes gleaming: "Wow, this leather armor looks even sturdier than a bulletproof vest!"
Zhang Tiange knew that this beast cultivated by borrowing evil energy, and its leather armor could ward off evil spirits, making it a good material for crafting magical artifacts.
The bones contain both malevolent energy and the essence of the earth's veins, which can be used to forge dragon energy.
It's just right to retrieve it, for use in the subsequent condensation of the Five Elements Dragon Vein.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiange raised his hand and waved it. A wisp of golden dragon energy transformed into a rope, which wrapped around the giant ground sloth's body. With a gentle pull, he lifted the enormous beast from the bottom of the pit and placed it steadily on the ground.
Under the moonlight, the giant ground sloth's thick armor gleamed with a dark luster, and sure enough, there was a dented claw mark between its brows, the very spot struck by the dragon's claw!
As time passed, the black aura slowly dissipated from there.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang watched this scene unfold.
Their power to overturn rivers and seas and slay ancient beasts far exceeded their understanding of "humans," making them practically like gods.
Beneath the True Eye of the Ancestral Dragon.
Zhang Tiange discovered that the other party's body did not have an inner core, indicating that his cultivation level was still shallow!
He pulled out a knife from his pocket and chopped the giant ground sloth in front of him into eight pieces.
After doing all this, Zhang Tiange instructed Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang to cut tree branches.
Upon hearing this, Yingzi also went over to help.
Suddenly, Fatty Wang rushed over.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, we found two shacks in the southwest. Old Hu told me to come back and get you."
Wang Pangzi was out of breath as he ran, and said.
Zhang Tiange knew that it was a Japanese soldier's shack!
He put down his work and followed Fatty Wang through the dense woods to the mountainside.
Unexpectedly, a flag with intaglio writing was hanging on the shack!
Hu Bayi was about to go over when Yingzi grabbed his clothes.
She heard eerie noises inside and was worried that it was haunted!
After recalling his encounter with the Ghost Empress Dowager in Lama Valley when he was young, Hu Bayi did not act rashly.
Zhang Tiange looked up and saw that there was indeed something wrong with the thatched shed in front of him.
An eerie atmosphere emanated from within.
The shack contained Japanese soldiers and the corpses of tomb raiders from Ganggangyingzi.
Unite that flag!
This is a soul-refining formation set up by the Japanese!
"Ding!"
"Exceptional comprehension triggered. Host, observe the Onmyoji's Soul Refining Array..."
