The demon monk in the second dimension

Logically speaking, lights protected by glass covers should not be affected by strong winds, which seems quite eerie.

Seeing Xia Zhi doing something again, the Sword Saintess smiled at the other three.

"Let's wait over there."

"profound."

The elven archer nodded blankly and began collecting arrows from the goblin's corpse.

About half an hour later, Xia Zhi finished her exercises.

The goblin hero, along with the souls of over fifty goblins, greatly restored Xia Zhi's true energy, bringing him back to near-optimal condition and improving his cultivation.

"Once this mission is over, I should be able to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining and prepare for Foundation Establishment."

The skeletons sent out made no other discoveries; they simply circled the room where the beholder was located.

Xia Zhi picked up the bone dagger from the ground, tore open the leather armor on the goblin hero, wiped the blood off the dagger, and said to the others.

"Let's go. My skeleton has found the Eye Demon."

……

On the way to the room where the Eye Demon Lock was located, Xia Zhi approached the Sword Saintess and whispered in her ear.

"How about it?"

The Sword Saintess, who had tied her blonde hair into a ponytail for easy movement, nodded slightly.

"Phew~ I still feel a bit of pressure when I see goblins, but not as much as before."

Thinking that she had actually peed her pants in front of Xia Zhi yesterday, the Sword Saintess couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

Fortunately, it wasn't very easy to see in the dark sewers.

Seeing the Sword Saintess and Xia Zhi whispering to each other ahead, a question mark appeared on the elven archer's forehead.

She nudged the dwarf's shoulder with her elbow and asked curiously.

"When did they become so close?"

The dwarf warlock rolled his eyes at him.

"Long ears, you're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

After walking for less than ten minutes, Xia Zhi stopped in front of a semi-open hall.

The six remaining goblin skeletons had been reduced to skeletons and lay in front of the hall.

The Eye Demon is a creature that is extremely sensitive to light, but has no sense of smell or hearing.

Xia Zhi placed the lantern outside the hall, and several people quietly approached the gate to carefully observe.

Soon, Xia Zhi stepped back a distance and pointed to the scattered skeletons beside her, asking the group a question she already knew the answer to.

Do you have any summons like it?

"It's the elven archer," said the archer.

"I am an archer, I don't know magic."

The dwarf warlock also shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I only know the hypnotic spell and the stone-throwing spell, I don't know any summoning spells."

Only the lizardman monks stepped forward at this moment.

He nodded with a touch of pride.

"This humble monk can summon Dragon Fang Soldiers, but only two can be summoned at a time."

Two will be enough.

Xia Zhi briefly assigned the tasks.

"Let the Dragon Tooth Soldiers go in first to distract the Eye Demon, the Dwarf Warlock hypnotize it, and I'll take care of the final kill. The Sword Maiden and the Elf will fill in any gaps."

He revealed his white bone banner.

"If it hits, the Eye Demon will surely die."

But after Xia Zhi finished speaking, the Sword Saintess was taken aback and quickly said...

"No need. Didn't we agree before that you guys would handle the goblins, and I'd take care of the Beholder?"

But Xia Zhi firmly rejected her.

"There's no reason to make the client do it themselves."

joke!

This beholder looks like an elite-level material, and it's also some kind of "Chaos Familiar," so it might drop a lot of loot!

I want both its soul and its flesh!

After discussing and agreeing on the plan, the group quickly began to take action.

The lizardman monk threw out six dragon teeth while chanting incantations.

"The ancestor of avian dragons, with claws on its feet. It has four legs, two legs, and can run on its own."

Accompanied by a bluish-green light, the six dragon teeth floated up under the influence of a strange magical force and rapidly expanded!

Click, click, click!

This is a type of necromancy that can transform dragon teeth into dragon tooth soldiers resembling lizardman skeletons.

Following the lizardman monks' orders, the two dragon-tooth soldiers, each holding a torch, rushed into the temple, startling the beholder guarding the teleportation mirror.

This beholder is quite large, comparable to the goblin hero from before.

"what!"

With a roar, his large eye flashed with magical light, and two golden magical rays shot out like lightning!

biu!

One of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, controlled by a lizardman monk, slid away from the magical ray, while another was unfortunately hit.

The golden magical ray struck the ground, and the extreme heat instantly melted it, creating a crater.

Unfortunately, the dragon tooth soldier that was hit was instantly melted, and half of his body was gone.

"You expect me to go in and cast a spell in this situation? Are you kidding me?!"

The dwarf warlock grumbled as he used his size advantage to dash into the hall.

He raised his gourd, took a sip, exhaled a large cloud of wine mist, and then chanted a spell at the fastest speed he had ever been able to.

"Drink, sing, alcohols! Sing, dance, and drift into a deep sleep! Give me dreams of joyful drinking!"

Under the influence of the hypnotic spell, the eye demon's movements became sluggish.

The dwarf warlock breathed a sigh of relief and patted his round belly.

"As long as we're not seen, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Just then, the summer solstice arrived.

He poured half of his true energy into the White Bone Banner and threw it out again like a javelin!

Summer Solstice's attack hit the bullseye!

puff!

The spearhead-like base of the White Bone Banner pierced deep into the Eye Demon's large eyeball, with most of the banner embedded inside.

"Ow!"

The severely injured Eye Demon was immediately awakened from the hypnotic spell by the excruciating pain, letting out a roar filled with agony and rage!

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.

The Sword Saintess rushed into the hall, and the sword in her hand began to shine with magical light.

But the next moment, the evil demonic artifact, the White Bone Banner, began to absorb the Eye Demon's blood, weakening his body and draining his essence.

In just a few breaths, the Eye Demon shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was like a dead spider, his tentacles curled up, his body shriveled, and finally he fell to the ground with a thud, never to be heard again.

Chapter 28 Instructions

(As readers of my previous books know, it's common practice to miscount chapter numbers. Keep it low-key.)

On the summer solstice, he went forward to retrieve the white bone banner.

Creatures killed by the White Bone Banner will not only have their life essence plundered, but their souls will also be imprisoned by the White Bone Banner.

However, the primary function of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) is to imprison souls. While the White Bone Banner can also do this, it can only control a maximum of three souls.

When Xia Zhi grasped the White Bone Banner, she immediately noticed the difference in the soul of the Eye Demon within it.

The bewitching demon's soul appeared as a ball of purple flame, an eerie purple soul fire that looked extremely fierce and was completely different from other souls.

"Is this a malevolent spirit?"

Summer Solstice's eyes lit up.

A malevolent spirit is a special kind of soul, of very high quality, at least equivalent to a thousand standard units of ordinary souls.

It is one of the materials that demonic cultivators greatly favor.

If you put ordinary souls and malevolent souls together, the malevolent souls will even actively devour the ordinary souls.

Incidentally, a goblin's soul is only about half a standard unit.

However, for demonic cultivators, whether it is a soul, a malevolent spirit, or even a cultivator's primordial spirit, they are all just raw materials!

Xia Zhi nodded in satisfaction.

"I will temporarily store it in the White Bone Banner, and use it when I establish my foundation."

With the Eye Demon eliminated, everyone turned their attention to the teleportation mirror that the Eye Demon was guarding.

The Sword Saintess stepped forward and gently touched the teleportation mirror.

Just like turning on a television, an image immediately appears on the other side of the teleportation mirror.

It was a medium-sized goblin tribe.

But unlike their compatriots who only use fire to cook food and live in caves or houses built by others.

These goblins live in wooden huts that are the right size for them.

On the open ground nearby, goblins were sharpening swords on stones, fishing by the river, and cooking soup.

Beside the river, there is a wooden boat that looks similar to the one before.

When the magic mirror on the summer solstice side was activated, the goblins on the other side also looked over.

Those were two goblins, still covered in blood, who had obviously escaped from the sewers.

Upon seeing the summer solstice, they screamed and ran away.

Upon discovering goblins on the other side of the magic mirror, the elven archer instinctively looked towards Xia Zhi.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't want to go there, do you?"

"Why do you think so?"

Xia Zhi looked at the elven archer with some confusion.

“If it were just goblins, it wouldn’t be a problem, but there might be other traps over there. There might be demon generals, or even demon kings. I’m no match for them.”

Xia Zhi understood that although the Sword Saintess's outdated hero team was no longer in the eyes of the gods, the Demon King would definitely be noticed.

After all, this is a once-in-a-decade event.

He doesn't want to have the goods delivered to his door.

After looking in the magic mirror, Xia Zhi finally made a decision.

"Destroy it."

The existence of this magic mirror that allows for teleportation means that a powerful being of unknown strength might suddenly teleport over from the other side.
