Chapter 263 Show off your skills
This was the second time that Patriarch Zhang came to Nanqiu Mountain, and the Qianhu Suo located there was deserted.

For this organization which was established less than three months ago, when something happened in the areas under the jurisdiction of the ten great families, they usually solved it within their own clans and no one reported it to the police.

Patriarch Zhang's arrival was given the highest treatment.

This was the first case handled by the Thousand Households Office. The Huainan family did not cause any trouble when the Thousand Households Office was established, because they did so for the sake of the two Nascent Soul cultivators. However, if the Thousand Households Office wanted to gain a foothold in Huainan Prefecture, it had to rely on its real abilities and convince the people.

Therefore, Fu Shaoping came out to receive him personally.

Patriarch Zhang was somewhat flattered and said politely:
"How can I trouble you, Master Qianhu?"

Chat for a few words.

With a look of sorrow on his face, Chief Zhang told the whole story of how three villages and towns in the tribe were inexplicably petrified overnight.

After listening to this, Fu Shaoping frowned and said:
"This shouldn't be the work of a demon beast. Most likely some demon broke through the defense line and escaped in."

After committing its first crime, it reappeared a month later. It was most likely trying to digest the flesh and blood of humans. And judging from the momentum, the monster's strength had obviously increased after digesting the villagers of Kuishan Village. It devoured two villages the second time.

Fu Shaoping repeated his guess.

Finally:
"We have to find its hiding place while it is in seclusion refining human blood essence, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of it when it is fully grown."

"Master Qianhu is absolutely right."

When Chief Zhang saw that Fu Shaoping was organized and clear, he seemed to see hope.

Busy:
"Sir, I am ashamed to say that our Zhang family has been investigating for several months, but still has no clues. I am afraid that you will have to personally accompany Zhang to the scene of the incident."

"Um"

Fu Shaoping nodded slightly.

More than half a year has passed since he broke through the Yuandan realm. Relying on breathing in the vital energy of heaven and earth, his cultivation speed has improved very little.

Kill the monster.

The right way is to practice more.

He immediately left Nanqiu Mountain with Patriarch Zhang and arrived at Kuishan Village. Looking at the flat village, he narrowed his eyes slightly and checked it out, but still could not figure it out.

The Zhang family members were also curious about the case handled by the Zhenwu Division, so more than a dozen people followed Fu Shaoping, each of them full of expectation and curiosity, and whispered:
"Do you think Captain Fu can find the reason?"

"I don't think it's possible. The other party has only just broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, and his cultivation is lower than that of our clan leader. Our entire clan has mobilized everyone, but we haven't been able to find any clues. What can the other party, who is so young, be capable of?"

"."

Seeing Fu Shaoping check three disappeared villages and towns in succession without saying a word, Patriarch Zhang was unsure and could not help but step forward and ask:
"Sir, can you see what's going on?"

Of course not!
If not.

He would not have inspected three villages and towns in succession.

Fu Shaoping felt awkward. He wanted to ask the elders of Qingyun Sect for advice. After all, they were the ones guarding the Demon Sealing Valley and dealing with monsters all year round. They should have experience. But when he saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him, he swallowed the words back and pretended to calculate with his fingers, but in fact he had an idea:
"Ancestors' blessing!"

hum!
The treasure mirror trembled slightly.

The second fate attribute point was reduced by fifty.

A mysterious message guided him to the south.

To the south is the Huainan River.

Could it be that this monster came up along the river?

Fu Shaoping pointed to the south and said:
"Let's go to the Huainan River and take a look."

"Yes, my lord"

Patriarch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. It was certainly better to have a direction for the investigation than to be like a headless fly. This showed that Fu Shaoping still had some abilities.

Fu Shaoping looked at the large group of people following behind him and shook his head:
"Patriarch Zhang can accompany us. Too many people will inevitably alert the enemy."

"You are so thoughtful, my Lord."

Patriarch Zhang led the way.

The two of them used the turtle breathing technique and invisibility technique and arrived at the Huainan River quietly.

The river flows majestically from the south across the entire Huainan Prefecture. It is the mother river of the entire Huainan Prefecture. No monsters have ever appeared in the riverbed.

Patriarch Zhang hesitated and said:
"Sir, when our people received the second distress signal and rushed to the scene, there were no obvious traces of water."

He was afraid that Fu Shaoping was investigating in the wrong direction.

Fu Shaoping raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking, pinched his right hand, then joined his index and middle fingers together and slid across his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was a flash of light. At this time, above the seemingly normal Huainan River, there suddenly appeared a trace of evil spirit:
“It’s really hidden here.”

Upon hearing this, the Zhang clan leader nearby quickly cast a spell. When he saw the strong bloody aura appearing before his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then he became very excited. The lives of nearly 100,000 members of the Zhang family finally had hope of revenge.

He immediately bowed to Fu Shaoping and said:
"As expected of you, Master Qianhu, you found the hiding place of the monster without any effort."

"Don't be happy too soon. This monster is probably not an ordinary thing. We have to be careful and cautious."

Directly consume one hundred second fate attribute points.

This means that this monster is at least level four.

And according to the opponent's attack method, they might not be able to defend themselves, so after thinking about it, he gave instructions:
"While this monster is still refining its blood essence in the riverbed, have your tribe bring a high-level trapping array. We have to trap it before it escapes from here."

"Yes, my lord!"

Clan leader Zhang's previous skepticism towards Fu Shaoping turned into seven points of respect. He immediately took out the jade talisman, cast a spell, and spoke a few words quickly, and the jade talisman's spiritual light disappeared.

just in case.

Fu Shaoping thought about it and decided to call Mo Qianhu over as well.

Half an hour later.

The Zhang family's formation masters all went out together, more than twenty of them assisted each other, and under the command of a formation grandmaster, they attacked almost at the same time. The formation flags and plates fluttered in the air and fell on both sides of the river. As the formation masters chanted something, with a humming sound, the formation light curtain rose up, and a five-colored light shield suddenly fell upside down on the river section where the bloody evil energy rose.

at this time.

Wisps of white mist rose from the bottom of the river.

"coming!"

Everyone was filled with awe.

Fu Shaoping pointed at the seal in front of him, and white lotuses appeared and floated on both sides.

The white fog in the river became more and more numerous and thicker, eventually covering the entire river channel. The situation inside was impenetrable not only to the naked eye but also to spiritual consciousness.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Everyone was horrified.

After a while.

But I saw something in the fog seemed to hit the formation shield.

Rumble!
The light shield of the formation began to vibrate violently.

Fu Shaoping quickly ordered:
"Hold the protective formation steady, we must not let it break out!"

"Yes, my lord!"

More than twenty formation masters sat cross-legged.

One after another, spells hit the array plate in front of him, and the array plate lit up with a bright white light. The light column fell on the array light curtain, and the originally precarious protective shield suddenly became stable again.

Fu Shaoping glanced at Huainan Prefecture and made a prompt decision:
"Patriarch Zhang, you lead the tribesmen to block the upstream, and Lord Mo and I will be responsible for blocking the downstream. Array Master, find a way to draw out the river water in the array light curtain."

Since the monsters contain rivers.

This means that the other party is definitely related to water.

Everyone was wondering how to start, but when they heard this, their eyes lit up, thinking that Fu Shaoping was indeed the top leader of the Qianhu Division, and his brain was very quick. Everyone started to make hand gestures.

The river flowed back. They were all Yuandan realm masters. Moving mountains and filling the sea was just a piece of cake for them. Soon the riverbed was exposed and there was not a drop of water.

The white mist trapped in the magic circle let out an angry sound that was neither human nor inhuman.

Bang bang bang!
I saw the light shield being hit violently.

Fu Shaoping said:
"Formation Master, mobilize the power of the formation and use fire attack!"

"Yes!"

The monster in the white fog became obviously impatient after losing the river water, which showed that Fu Shaoping's method worked.

The formation masters were shocked and started to make hand gestures. While casting spells, a sea of ​​fire suddenly ignited in the formation and the water vapor in the white mist quickly evaporated.

Then a foggy object came into view.

This mist had countless tentacles, and as the tentacles swayed, it was seen that they were condensed from ghosts. The ghosts showed painful expressions, and they tried to break free but to no avail. In the center of the mist, there was a faceless face, and in the center of the face was a vortex, and in the vortex, countless corpses were seen being refined bit by bit, and the aura of this monster was also rising rapidly, and it would soon reach the quasi-fifth level.

"What the hell is this?!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

It was different from any monster they knew.

If every monster is so mysterious, then if a real battle breaks out between humans and monsters, how can they stand a chance of winning?
"What are you still standing there for? Get started!"

Once this monster escapes from the magic circle, it will be extremely difficult to trap it again.

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to make hand gestures.

Mo Qianhu threw the Bagua formation plate in his hand into the air, and three red beams of light fell into the formation with a bang. They rushed towards the human face of the monster as fast as lightning, but the human face made a squeaking sound, and the suction force in the vortex suddenly expanded, swallowing up all three red beams of light:
"This"

This monster can actually devour magic power!
Everyone's attack was interrupted.

Fu Shaoping immediately said:
"Attack its tentacles!"

When the human-faced man let out a strange cry just now, the ghosts in the thousands of tentacles let out even more painful groans. It turned out that the power exerted by the human-faced man was obtained from the tentacle ghosts.

Everyone heard this.

Immediately changed the direction of attack.

Ding Ding Ding!
Spiritual arts and magic weapons attack the tentacles.

The moment he got close, he was petrified by the white mist rising from the tentacles.

This monster is more difficult to deal with than they imagined.

and.

As if being stimulated.

At this time, the monster's thousands of tentacles were waving together, attacking the formation's light curtain with a bang. The light curtain was already shaky. The formation masters opened their mouths and spat out blood into the formation plate in front of them, and the formation was barely stabilized.

The Zhang family's formation master looked pale:
"Master Fu, we can only hold out for another thirty breaths!"

Once the monster escapes.

The consequences could be disastrous!

Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes, flew on the wind, and hovered above the light curtain of the formation. Then he pointed at the Sky Thunder Sword in front of him, and thousands of lightning lights lit up.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound.

Then, hundreds of sword lights whizzed down, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, and cut through the roots of the monster's tentacles as fast as lightning. The white mist that lit up the tentacles was shattered by the lightning power wrapped in the sword light, and hundreds of tentacles were cut off in an instant!

One hit.

Fu Shaoping used the Qingyuan Sword Technique at full speed and summoned out another Tianlei Sword in his body. Thousands of sword lights appeared from the two Tianlei Swords at the same time, and the brilliant power of thunder and lightning illuminated the entire sky as if it were daytime.

Everyone who saw this scene felt awe-inspiring.

"fall!"

Following Fu Shaoping's order.

Thousands of sword lights in the air were like a rain of arrows, whizzing and pouring down the formation.

"Squeak!"

The monster became anxious.

It actually summoned its tentacles together, and with a buzzing sound, they twisted into a strand. Brilliant white mist emerged from the thick tentacles. The mist was so thick that one could hardly see the riverbed, let alone find the monster.

Fu Shaoping frowned.

The spell changed.

Thousands of sword lights rolled back.

As his lips moved, the sword light trembled slightly, and a Bagua halo suddenly condensed. In the halo, a giant sword nearly thirty feet long condensed out. Fu Shaoping waved his sword finger, and the giant sword, wrapped in rolling lightning, broke through the white fog.

Only a click was heard.

The tentacles were cut off at the root.

"squeak"

The monster roared in pain.

A vertical eye suddenly condensed in the vortex of the faceless face. The vertical eye flashed red light, and a beam of light suddenly collided with the giant sword. With a bang, the giant sword turned into thousands of sword lights and dissipated, but the red light continued to move forward and rushed towards the light curtain of the formation.

Fu Shaoping said quickly:
"Form a formation, don't let it escape."

The Yuan Dan present took quick and wonderful steps, and as the spell changed, seven beams of light shot straight into the sky, rolled down and formed a colorful killing array outside the original protective light curtain.

"click click"

at the same time.

The original formation light curtain collapsed.

More than twenty formation masters vomited blood and fell to the ground, fainting!

Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he could not deal with this monster with ordinary means. He took a deep breath and touched the totem. The totem in his arm immediately became hot and glowed. Divine light gathered and a little white dragon appeared with a dragon roar:
"Roar!"

The little white dragon swung its tail.

After entering the colorful killing array, he rushed forward and swung his claws fiercely on the monster's face. The monster's vortex trembled violently, and red light flashed in its vertical eyes, colliding with the little white dragon's claws. There was a loud bang, and the red light dissipated. However, the little white dragon's claws directly tore the monster's face open.

boom!
The vortex collapsed.

Wow!
But I saw a torrent of blood pouring out, which soon filled the entire riverbed, with thousands of corpses that had not yet been refined floating above.

"do you died?"

Everyone suppressed their nausea.

Subconsciously looked at Fu Shaoping.

Unconsciously, they regarded Fu Shaoping as their backbone.

It was also the first time for Fu Shaoping to kill such a strange monster, so he naturally had no idea what was going on. However, he did not show it at all and was waiting for the reaction of the treasure mirror.

If the monster is killed.

The treasure mirror must have reacted.

After waiting for a while.

hum!
Yellow light surged in the treasure mirror, and then the value of the first fate attribute point rose wildly.
