According to the information provided by the Shadow Corps, Zi Yun was in possession of a magic weapon that could attract ancient beasts. However, after meeting Zi Yun in Zuo Zhicheng, he realized that Zi Yun's magic weapon was not as simple as attracting ancient beasts. It was a power that could control ancient beasts.
After some interrogation, Zi Yun finally revealed what was going on. It also gave Zuo Zhicheng a better understanding of the Hell Demon's Holy Son.
Zuo Zhicheng sat on the Snake King and looked at the beast tooth in his palm. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and turned around. However, other than the snow and trees, he saw nothing. However, his eyes still showed a trace of seriousness.
…
A few days later, in a small forest, He Zizai sat on a rock. Beside him, there were dozens of people from the Shadow Corps.
This group of people were all calm and silent. Not a single one of them was chatting with each other. Although they had been waiting in the snow for a long time, they still did not show any impatience or nervousness on their faces. They showed good calmness.
After a while, He Zizai shook his ears and suddenly stood up. "They're here."
The others immediately moved at the same time. They drew their swords and bows in unison and were alert to the situation around them. They showed strict discipline and excellent cooperation.
About ten seconds later, the Snake King crawled out of the forest with Zuo Zhicheng. This time, the Snake King was very careful. It did not directly crush the forest. Instead, it crawled quietly in a zigzag way.
When they saw that it was Zuo Zhicheng, the people from the Shadow Corps immediately relaxed a little.
He Zizai looked at Zuo Zhicheng and asked, "What's going on? Why did you ask us to come and help you? Where's Zi Yun? Why didn't you go in the direction of the South Bay? "
It turned out that these people were here to help Zuo Zhicheng according to the secret signal left by him.
However, when Zuo Zhicheng heard what he said, his expression changed. "I didn't ask you to help me. Didn't you see my message? "
"What?" He Zizai was not stupid. He knew something was wrong when he heard Zuo Zhicheng's words.
"Defensive formation!" He Zizai let out a low roar, and the surrounding troops immediately pulled their horses closer to each other. They surrounded He Zizai and Zuo Zhicheng and formed a defensive formation.
Zuo Zhicheng glanced around. There were a total of forty soldiers, all of whom had purple muscles. Although the coverage was slightly low, and they were not as strong as some of the dojo masters, they were still elites of the Shadow Corps. Their murderous intent and determination were far above that of ordinary people, and they cooperated seamlessly with each other.
The threat they posed when fighting as a team was at least five or six times greater than that of ordinary martial artists.
These were the most elite warriors of the Shadow Corps, the Shadow Death Soldiers. Zhu Yuwen had carefully trained them since they were young, and there were only about a hundred of them under his command. Now, he had sent forty of them, and He Zizai was leading the team. This showed how much importance he attached to them.
However, after doing all this, the surroundings were still deserted. There was no ambush at all.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned and asked, "What message did you receive?"
He Zizai said, "You left a message with the secret signal, saying that you were being hunted because you knew the secret of the Underworld Sect. You asked us to help you here. What happened here?"
Zuo Zhicheng nodded. "I did discover a plan for the Underworld Sect, but I should have told you everything. It seems that someone tampered with the secret signal and message I left. In fact, a few days ago, I felt that something was following me. That's why I left a message in advance, and then I wanted to take a detour and leave alone. "
"What is the plan?" He Zizai asked.
Zuo Zhicheng opened his palm and revealed the beast tooth he had taken from Zi Yun. He said slowly, "This beast tooth is the key to Zi Yun's ability to control ancient beasts."
He Zizai's eyes were filled with shock. "Control?"
"That's right." Zuo Zhicheng slowly explained what he knew.
The beast tooth was an antique found by the Underworld Sect when they were excavating a relic called the Tomb of the Beast King. The Underworld Sect seemed to have many similar beast teeth in their possession.
According to the Underworld Sect's research, the beast tooth only had a deterrent effect on various wild beasts and ancient beasts. However, when it was in the hands of the Holy Son of Hell, the Holy Son of Hell relied on his supreme cultivation and poured his mind power into the beast tooth. With the deterrent effect of the beast tooth, the beast tooth had the ability to control ancient beasts.
Zi Yun was one of the emissaries sent by the Holy Son of Hell to collect ancient beasts. The goal of the Underworld Sect was to use this set of beast teeth to create an army of ancient beasts that could fight on the battlefield.
"How is this possible?" He Zizai's expression did not change, but there was a hint of shock in his eyes. "To be able to pour mind power into an object and still have an effect on it, this method … this method …"
"It has already broken through to the Dharma stage and is infinitely close to the Void Refinement stage." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "I did not believe it at first, but the Underworld Sect's most powerful technique, the Hell's Soul-Cleansing Scripture, is rumored to be able to control the six paths of reincarnation, bring the dead back to life, reincarnate, and erase memories. If the mind power of the Hell's Soul-Cleansing Scripture is injected into the beast tooth, it may be able to control ancient beasts."
"But if that's the case, why did they ask us to …" He Zizai did not need Zuo Zhicheng to remind him. He calmed down and said, "I understand now."
"That's right." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "It seems like they think I'm not enough and want to take a big bite out of me."
Zuo Zhicheng was used as bait. The Underworld Sect wanted to get rid of the two Human Appearance experts from the Shadow Corps so that the South Bay would no longer be able to control the situation on the New Continent.
At this thought, both Zuo Zhicheng and He Zizai's expressions became extremely serious. The fact that the other party had made such an arrangement meant that they were determined to kill them.
A battle to the death was unavoidable.
Just as He Zizai and Zuo Zhicheng finished their conversation, a loud clapping sound could be heard from afar. The sound of the clapping was like two gigantic metal doors knocking against each other.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of the Sky Snake King and the Divine Martial King. My efforts were not in vain. After getting rid of the two of you and the 40 Shadow Death Soldiers, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of Old Zhu's claws."
The voice sounded a little strange, like a baby who had just learned how to speak. However, after hearing the complete sentence, Zuo Zhicheng and He Zizai's hearts skipped a beat.
The reason for that was because even with their level of cultivation, the sensitivity of their bodies, and the sensitivity of their battle experience, they did not notice anything before that person spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge figure that was over five meters tall slowly walked out of the forest.
When they saw this figure, even the cold-blooded and well-trained Shadow Death Soldiers were shocked.
