So the term "head-changing monster" actually refers to flying head man.
As for a monster like Feitouman, the body is naturally not a weakness.
Not to mention the heart was smashed, even if it was cut into pieces, or even the body was chopped up and fed to the dogs, as long as the head of the flying headman was not destroyed, it would not die at all.
Before that, Su Anran didn't think about monsters at all. Of course, even if he had thought about it, he didn't think about it that much.
But now, after seeing Flying Man, Su Anran no longer guesses like this.
There is Jiu Tun in the twelve-stripe monster, and the 24-string monster below it has Flying Head Man. These are all classic monsters in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, so does this mean that these monsters in the world of monsters are actually Are they all monsters, released by the traverser who entered this world back then?
If so, did he do it on purpose or unintentionally?
"You actually recognize my real body?" Fei Touman, who was floating in the sky, looked horrified, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice, "You two are really not ordinary people! You..."
"boom--"
Su Anran's grenade sword qi exploded directly behind Fei Touman's head.
The violent explosive airflow completely washed it down.
This time, Su Anran didn't show any mercy, and split Feitouman's head into two with a single sword strike!
Chapter 213 Doubt
Monsters are different from monsters.
Regardless of whether it is the mysterious world or any other world, the essence of monsters is actually the evolution direction of another creature, so in the final analysis, the source of power and life comes from vital parts such as the heart and brain.
Or, to be more precise, it is the soul, the flow of the soul.
But monsters are different.
Although monsters have the word "monster", the actual focus is on the word "monster".
And this strange refers to the meaning of weirdness and grotesque appearance.
Flying head man, Su Anran doesn't know the specific situation, but he still knows that the essence of this kind of thing is actually a kind of spirit monster.It transforms itself into the image of the target by devouring the soul of the living, imitating the image and behavior of the target, and then achieves a certain resonance with the target's thinking consciousness, thereby capturing the prey.
According to Zhiyi, the Flying Man will only appear to hunt in the middle of the night, and the target possessed by the Flying Man will not know that he is dead because of the resonance of his consciousness—in the island country since the Heian era In the legends of the Edo period, those headless corpses are often caused by flying heads.
In the Meiji era after the Edo era, the reduction of such visions is similar to the law of the great celestial dynasty that "you are not allowed to become a master after the founding of the country". Not only has it gradually moved away from the political center, but it has also been liquidated and suppressed, and eventually became a legend of some folk literature.
Su Anran watched the two-petal flying head falling to the ground at this time, which was rapidly withering and shrinking at an extremely fast speed, and finally became the size of a walnut, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The monsters are weird and weird, so they don't have vital organs like hearts, and they must attack more targetedly to truly eliminate these monsters.
For example, Flying Headman's real key lies in the head—it is not enough to behead, but to cut the whole head into two pieces in a vertical split.Of course, if you throw it into a meat grinder and grind it, that's okay.
As for the monsters mentioned in Zhiyi of the island country, such as Yukonomi and Fenggui, why they are obviously not strong, but they are a headache, and it is almost incomprehensible-probably why an SR card can have an SSR panel , and even hit a damage effect equivalent to ur - because their own "weirdness" is a natural phenomenon: the snow girl comes from the existence of the wind and snow, the stronger the snow is, the stronger the snow girl is; the wind ghost is from the hurricane airflow Most of them appear in areas such as typhoons.
So until there is no way to solve this natural phenomenon, there is naturally nothing to do with this kind of monster.
Many times, Onmyoji would rather deal with monsters like Jiu Tun-douji and Daitengu than to trouble Yuki-onna, Fuki, and Fire-man, because such monsters are quite difficult to deal with and need to be dealt with. There is too much preliminary work in preparation—in a sense, Flying Head Man also belongs to this kind of peculiar monster, because it was born from "nian".
Such as resentment, love, longing and so on.
This has also led to the fact that Feitouman cannot be directly classified as "evil", it depends on the specific idea from which it was born.But no matter what kind of thought, if you want to eliminate the flying headman, you must pay the price of at least one human life-before the flying headman takes possession, as the purest thought, it is immortal, and only by letting its possession manifest, Only after having the concept of "head" can it be completely eliminated.
But Su Anran can at least make one thing clear.
The Flying Man who turned into a shepherd is by no means a good idea.
"Solved?" Song Jue asked.
"Yeah." Su Anran nodded, "This time he should really be dead."
Su Anran picked up the walnut-like flying headman residue with her sword, and then the two pieces of "broken walnuts" turned into a wisp of gray-black light smoke, which drifted away with the wind.
With the dissipation of this wisp of light smoke, the peculiar evil atmosphere in the surrounding air has truly disappeared completely.
Both Su Anran and Song Jue were extremely sensitive to breath. At this moment, they could feel the surrounding environment and they could tell clearly that the shepherd had really been dealt with, so the two of them relaxed quickly.
"You... you..." But unlike Su Anran and Song Jue's relaxation, Cheng Zhong had a look of seeing the devil.
He still can't believe it, how could Su Anran and Song Jue kill the shepherd?
Even strictly speaking, Song Jue couldn't be regarded as the real main force who killed the shepherd. At most, she just swiped from the side and suppressed the soul-eating dogs.
In the world of monsters, the difference in strength and other ranks are quite obvious.
Twelve patterns correspond to Renzhuli.
The 24th string corresponds to the general.
The big demon corresponds to the captain.
The strong monster corresponds to Fanchang.
The monster corresponds to the group head.
Further down is Yao Yi and the corresponding blade.
The division of each class is an iron rule watered by the blood of countless ancestors of demon hunters—of course, in fact, this is not absolute, and occasionally there will be some special cases, but after all, they are extremely rare individuals example, so naturally it cannot be regarded as a general law.
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Zhong thought to himself that if he met a shepherd, with the inherited power of Thunder Saber, even if he was no match, he would at least have half the chance of escaping, and if he was not good enough, he would have to pay the price of serious injury to escape.Of course, this kind of normal situation refers to the daytime, if it is at night, then his chance of escape will be reduced by half again, but it is not completely waiting to die, if he is willing to give up something, he still has a chance to escape.
However, it is only limited to escape.
Not to mention killing the shepherd, it is impossible to do it even if it severely injures the other party.
After all, the strength gap is too great.
but……
The expression of disbelief remained on Cheng Zhong's face.
In any case, he would not understand the meaning of the phrase "Sword cultivator is the number one killer in the world".
"It's a fluke." Su Anran laughed.
He knew what impact his actions just now had on Cheng Zhong. If the background of the world was changed, I am afraid that this scene of overturning his long-standing three-view thinking would be enough to make his head explode, and he might get a Special titles, such as Su Anran, the head-exploding maniac, etc. - although Huang Zi has already called him the Grenade Sword Immortal, the Explosive Sword Immortal, and so on.
"The shepherd himself is not good at personal force, he is more good at attacking. It just so happens that Sister Sister has a special ability that can restrain his soul-eating dog, and I am good at close-up and quick attack. We can solve the shepherd so smoothly only when we are unintentional." Su Anran explained a little more, "If we change to a 24 string here, I'm afraid we will really be doomed."
Hearing Su Anran's words, Cheng Zhong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
He is not stupid.
If you were stupid, you wouldn't be alive today.
In the mysterious world, because of the training and education methods of the Zongmen aristocratic family, some naive people may be produced—such as Song Jue and the like—but in the world of monsters, it is absolutely impossible to appear.So without Su Anran saying it, Cheng Zhong already understood the subtext of Su Anran's words.
Not long after he got the Thunder Saber, there was a 24-stringed monster following him all the way, and he even knew his route clearly. If there was nothing tricky about it, Cheng Zhong would definitely not believe it.
So the question now is what went wrong.
"Go to Junwu Mountain as soon as possible, maybe something happened there." Su Anran said.
The world of demons and demons is no different than the Mysterious Realm, because there is everything there, so it can be said that the transmission of information is instantaneous.
For example, Tai Yigu forced the sword sect to close the mountain for ten years, and it only took five or six days for it to spread throughout the mysterious world.As for those high-ranking lords, even Song Nana had just left the Sword Sect before they received the news.
If we say, what is the biggest benefit that Huang Zi brought to Xuanjie?
It is definitely not those weird things, but the clear information and intelligence transmission system and speed of this hand - if it weren't for the super high-speed operation efficiency of Wanshilou back then, the second human-monster war and the invasion of the demon alliance would have been impossible. He was about to be discovered, and thus blocked from Beihai by the major sects of Zhongzhou who came hand in hand.
But the demon world is different.
The transmission of information in this world relies on a creature called a letter bird.
This is a kind of artificially cultivated monster creature. Its body strength is not strong, but its endurance is excellent, and it has a certain intelligence ability, so it is often used for information transmission and notification.
It's just that because of the extremely high cost of cultivation, apart from the three major inheritance holy places that are often cultivated, generally only villages with a small scale will be cultivated.
A Zhuangzi like Linshanzhuang can't afford to raise a letter bird, let alone the Tianyuan Shrine that has just been built.
"Let's go to Hailong Village." Cheng Zhong immediately made a decision in his heart, "Originally, according to the itinerary, our next stop should be to go to Chunfeng Village, but now because of the shepherd's attack, we must pass the news of Tianyuan Shrine's death Spread the word... only Hailong Village has letter birds."
After all, Cheng Zhong quickly returned to the shepherd's body. He didn't shy away from germs and bad smells, and directly groped the shepherd's body, which was decomposing at an alarming speed.
After a while, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he took out a dirty thing from the shepherd.
Because the body of Flying Man's boarding house was already highly decomposed, after Flying Man's death, the corpse lost the maintenance of its evil spirit, so it became even more embarrassing at this time.What Cheng Zhong took out from the corpse was covered with corpse fluid, and it was dripping drop by drop at the moment, looking extremely disgusting.
However, Cheng Zhong is quite precious and keeps this thing precious and precious.
After a while, he handed over the wooden box containing this thing to Su Anran with some reluctance.
Seeing Cheng Zhong's expression, Su Anran already guessed what it was, so she took it calmly.
For the demon hunters in the demon world, the most valuable part of a demon's body is naturally the demon corpse oil.Obviously, the thing Cheng Zhong collected should be an organ unique to a certain monster on the shepherd - this kind of organ is obviously accompanied by the stronger the monster, the greater its value.
However, Cheng Zhong did not abandon the pool of pus that flowed out from the rotting corpse of the shepherd on the ground.
Although the process was quite disgusting, Su Anran and Song Jue watched how Cheng Zhong collected the demon corpse oil.
Chapter 214 Identity
Villages, villages, shrines, and the three-level administrative units of the demon world are very clear.
Usually, the scale that can become a village is not so small - of course, this is compared to the structure of the demon world, if it is placed in the mysterious world, it is not even as good as a village.But no matter what, only villages in the demon world can afford to raise messenger birds that can be used to quickly transmit information.
Because of the length of time, the world of demons and monsters looks quite big - the journey here takes three or four days, compared to Xuanjie and other ten thousand realms, it is equivalent to half a month's journey.
But in fact, humans only occupy a small corner in the entire demon world.
The territory located in the southeast corner is the human territory of the entire demon world.
The three holy lands of inheritance are respectively located at the three exits of the entire human territory—or in other words, pass.
Extending from the three holy places of inheritance, there is a wasteland occupied by demons, where the twelve patterns and 24 strings are really active.
But even if there are three major inheritance holy lands in the front, it does not mean that this last civilized place in the human world is safe.
Monsters can always think of ways to infiltrate. Although human beings still don't know how these monsters do it, the fact is that from time to time there will always be monsters wreaking havoc on human villages, but generally the strongest are just some big monsters. Rarely will there be a big monster at the level of 24 strings.
Not to mention, a fairly well-targeted 24-string like the Shepherd.
Jiu Tun, one of the twelve patterns, did not infiltrate into the human world by himself, but was lured into it by setting up an ambush. Cheng Zhong, who had just mastered the thunder knife and had not yet reached the strength of the human column, did not know the specific situation.
But no matter what, now he can also be sure that there are either monsters mixed in among the human beings, or someone has taken refuge in the monsters.
It's just that Cheng Zhong is more willing to believe that the other party is bewitched and controlled by a demon.
Just these things have nothing to do with Su Anran and Song Jue.
Their goal is Junwu Mountain and Gaoyuan Mountain. In addition, even if the whole demon world is overturned by demon cars, they will not have too many ideas-if it is not for the demons who have a natural sense of contempt and superiority towards human beings If it is almost impossible to communicate, Su Anran wants to try to fool the monster.
They rushed all the way to Hailong Village without stopping.
The head of Hailong Village was a little surprised by Cheng Zhong's return, but after hearing Cheng Zhong's words, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly left with Cheng Zhong without asking about the identities of Su Anran and Song Jue No, only one person was left to take Su Anran and Song Jue to rest for a while.
Being able to become the gathering place of the village, the strength and heritage will naturally not be far behind.
The house for Song Jue and Su Anran, the "brothers and sisters", is much more "high-end" than that of Linshanzhuang. There is also a pond in which some seafood such as fish, shrimp and crabs are kept in captivity.The water in the pond adopts the running water of the spring method, and the escape of fish, shrimp and sea crabs is blocked by isolation nets and pocket nets.
It has to be said that the environment, artistic conception and other aspects are much better than Linshanzhuang.
Su Anran and Song Jue walked around inside and out, and then went back to the house to meet again.
"It has been checked, and there is no problem." Song Jue said softly, "Are you thinking too much?"
"It's always good to be careful." Su Anran shook her head slightly.
He didn't find any problems here.
"Okay." For what Su Anran said, Song Jue just shrugged and said no more, "Now the plan has deviated a bit, what do you think?"
"Let's see what Cheng Zhong said first." Su Anran thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know what happened when you came last time, and how long it was before and after. There are many things that are hard to speculate...but Judging from this incident, I am afraid that there will be many variables in this world, if we do not intend to get involved, then we must leave here as soon as possible."
Song Jue nodded and didn't say much.
Neither she nor Su Anran came in through quests, so there are no quest restrictions, but because of the backtracking talisman, there is no way to stay in this world for too long - each backtracking talisman can only stay for three days month, if you want to extend the time, you must consume another backtracking token.And during this process, as long as you are not in a state of combat, you can return and leave the Ten Thousand Realms at any time.
"Next, we can only inquire about how to get from here to Junwu Mountain." Su Anran thought for a while, and then started planning again, "In case Cheng Zhong is delayed by something, we can also go to Junwu Mountain by ourselves. "
Song Jue nodded again.
"And on top of that, we need to make up another identity."
"Make up another identity?" Song Jue couldn't understand, "Aren't we brothers and sisters?"
"This is only the superficial identity. We must fabricate the second and third identities to deal with other inquiries and temptations that may arise later."
