Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
The algae-green sewage gathered into large and small stagnant pools, sticky and rotten green bubbles gushed out from the bottom of the water, and then continued to explode, and poisonous gas filled the entire space. From time to time, white bones floated out from under the water, and tiny poisonous insects lived on them, forming dark brown stripes.
Click.
A foot came down and broke the rotten bone.
The scaly paw left, leaving a deep footprint in its place. The turbid and smelly water flowed back into the big hole left by the paw, and soon a new puddle condensed. Poisonous insects and algae began a new round of inhabitation, and the dead ones became their food.
The scaly monster walked along the mud for a while, and the ground became dry.
After passing through a collapsed tomb wall, the surrounding scenery returned to normal, with green plants, singing birds, and fragrant flowers. From time to time, colorful butterflies flew among them, forming a sharp contrast with the smelly and dirty swamp in front. The sound of a zither came from afar. Next to a thatched cottage nestled in the mountains and beside a river, there was a small farmyard, and a wooden waterwheel was turning with a creaking sound. A woman in a white dress stood by the pool, feeding food into it.
A stream of light flashed on the body of the scaly monster. The dirty mud and water were dispersed by this force. The burly body also shrank back little by little and turned into a strong man more than two meters tall.
"There's a strange smell coming in."
The sturdy man walked to the edge of the pool and looked at the woman's actions, an expression of disgust appeared on his face again.
"You are becoming more and more like those hypocritical human cultivators."
"Just say it if you have something to say."
The woman didn't even look at the sturdy man and continued to scatter fish food in her hand. Suddenly, a big black fish jumped out of the water, its head swelled and its sharp teeth were like saw teeth. It tried to swallow the woman's arm and the fish food in her hand.
Bang!
The blood mist exploded, and the woman retracted her slender palm. The scattered blood mist gathered to the edge and turned into new fish food.
The sturdy man's eyes twitched. This woman was still so cruel. He wanted to take back what he had just said. This lunatic doesn't look like an immortal cultivator at all. She is a monster in the skin of an immortal cultivator.
"Two people, one of whom has a very similar aura to the deceased Scorpion Saint."
"Scorpion Saint?"
Hearing this, the woman finally stopped. She turned around, revealing her true face.
A pale and bloodless face with a black butterfly pattern on the left cheek. Under the black hair, there are a pair of emerald green eyes. The bright white butterfly powder spreads over as the woman turns around. The sturdy man seemed to have known the woman's magical powers for a long time. The moment the other party turned around, he took three steps back.
This distance was just enough to avoid the powder released by the woman.
"The Scorpion Saint died a long time ago. Could it be that his descendants came in? But the timing is wrong." The woman's voice was very cold. Her lips did not move when she spoke, and the voice seemed to come from another place.
The piano music that had been surrounding the area also stopped at this moment.
No one is playing the piano, but there is sound.
This is the butterfly girl's 'innate magical power', just like the fate pattern on the back of the flower-backed turtle.
"That's why I came to find you. They are getting closer and closer to my tomb, and I'm afraid they are coming for Your Majesty's body."
"Just dig it."
"Don't forget the cultivation your master gave you in the past! Without your master, you wouldn't be who you are today." The sturdy man's face darkened.
"That's why I say you're stupid and don't know anything."
The butterfly girl sighed and was too lazy to argue with the other party. The two of them had argued about this issue many times, and each time they ended up fighting. Both of them were fifth-level monsters, and neither could do anything to the other.
"Are you sure you don't care?"
"Your Excellency left a long time ago. Why don't you understand that what's left there is only a shell."
The butterfly girl's expression suddenly changed as she was speaking, and then she looked sideways in the direction behind the burly man.
At the end of the road, a man and a turtle passed through the wall and entered this space.
"I didn't expect there was a space here. The environment is almost the same as outside."
The flower-backed turtle looked around and stretched its neck towards the sky. The sky above was azure blue, with the sun shining down, a gentle breeze blowing, and the fragrance of grass floating in the air. It was totally unimaginable that this was the ancestral tomb of the demon clan.
Chen Luo was also looking around.
He had been searching here following the sensation of death, and only after arriving here did he discover that there was actually a higher-level formation nested inside this area, and the power of the formation mobilized from outside had no effect here. The sky and the sun above were also illusions created by formations. Chen Luo was currently unable to set up a formation of this level. Although the level of the Baixian Cave formation master has been improving, the speed is obviously not keeping up with Chen Luo's improvement.
"How dare you follow me!"
The sturdy man, who was already full of anger, roared angrily, his body suddenly swelled up, fierce demonic aura surrounded him, and his true appearance was revealed.
A huge demon crocodile over five meters tall held two large axes and chopped down at the two men.
This is the butterfly demon's territory, and he doesn't believe that the butterfly demon will just sit back and watch when the fight breaks out.
clang! !
A terrifying force exploded.
A translucent eight-armed demon shadow appeared on Chen Luo's body at some point. This demon shadow was as tall as the demon crocodile, and was holding a black chessboard in one of its arms. The demon crocodile's giant axe was blocked by this chessboard.
The giant axe in the other hand spun and chopped across. There was a long sword on the Demon Shadow's second arm. The sword and the giant axe kept colliding, causing waves of air aftermath.
The demon crocodile had a brutal look on its face, and its double-flowered giant axe was wrapped in demonic energy drawn from the outside world. Each axe had the power to split mountains and break cliffs.
Ding ding ding.
They fought dozens of times in a row.
The demon crocodile's face turned a little ugly, blood gushed out of his hands holding the giant axe, and a gap appeared on the double-flowered axe that he regarded as a treasure.
This is a fourth-level magic weapon!
Click! !
The handle of the giant axe suddenly cracked, and the axe blade flew out and slashed at the flower-backed turtle that was hiding behind and watching the battle. A large amount of sparks popped out of the hard turtle shell, spinning and sticking into the huge rock behind.
Spiritual weapon? !
The demon crocodile could not see the difference, but the demon shadow on the opposite side did not give him the chance to react at all. The arm holding the chessboard swung faster, and the hand holding the sword also continued to use sword energy. After a while, he was chopped back repeatedly, leaving dozens of wounds on his body.
"The moves are crude and unsightly"
Chen Luo's voice came out from the golem. Only then did the demon crocodile notice that the other six arms of the golem were all virtual, and Chen Luo below didn't even move.
"The biggest advantage of the demon race is their innate magical powers. Release one for me to see."
This sentence stimulated the demon crocodile so much that his face turned red. He roared and threw the axe in his hand away. The light flashed across the body, and then the demon crocodile roared, and its huge mouth opened like the mouth of the abyss, biting the eight-armed golem.
Death spin!
The evil wind spread out and turned into a swirling black wind, trying to bite the evil shadow into pieces.
"Too weak."
The half-virtual golem solidified, and the other six arms also emerged from their virtual state.
boom! !
There was a loud bang.
The demon crocodile, which was halfway rotating, was like a broken puppet, and was hit on the back by the six arms of the golem at the same time. Crisp sounds of bones breaking were heard, and the huge body hit the ground, creating a huge deep pit.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the demonic energy on his body weakened visibly, and his body changed from a giant crocodile to an ordinary crocodile.
The butterfly girl raised her arm and hung in the air. Just as she was about to intervene with the demon crocodile, she was knocked down. The most important thing was that this human did not use any magical powers from beginning to end, but used the most primitive and simplest method to defeat the demon crocodile.
In terms of physical cultivation, the demon race has always had the advantage, but the human race before them actually defeated them at their strongest point.
"Is this all the tomb-guarding demons are capable of? To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."
After getting rid of the eight-armed golem on his body, Chen Luo put the Taoist stone into his sleeve and said to the demon crocodile in the giant pit with a look of disappointment on his face.
The tomb of a big demon must be guarded by a small demon.
These little demons were the servants of the great demons when they were alive. Just like human cultivators would leave demon beasts to guard the place where they passed away, the top great demons would also arrange tomb-guarding demons in the tomb chamber. The group of scorpions in the scorpion tomb chamber before were the guardian monsters guarding the scorpion tomb.
The crocodile and the butterfly girl are the guardian demons of this tomb.
"Kill if you want!"
The demon crocodile spat out a mouthful of blood foam, looking as if he was ready to die.
The butterfly girl next to her did not say anything. She knew that there was nothing in the tomb she was guarding, and the real Black Crow Venerable had left the ancestral tomb long ago.
"Why would I kill you for no reason?"
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and took out a light green spiritual power ball. The breath rushed into the demon crocodile's body, and after a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, the injuries in the demon crocodile's body were instantly healed.
This scene left the demon crocodile a little confused.
His simple brain capacity does not allow him to think about such complex problems. On the contrary, the Butterfly Girl saw something, she took a step forward, bowed to Chen Luo and thanked him. The man in front of him should not have any intention to kill. He came here just to rob tombs. He is a man with very high professional ethics.
"Thank you, senior."
"You are smarter than him. Do you want to become my disciple?"
Chen Luo said with a kind face.
This was a solution he came up with on the spur of the moment. Didn’t the six guys outside mobilize the twelve demon tribes to surround him? Then he can respond in the same way. The demon clan’s ancestral tomb is so large, there must be a lot of tomb-guarding monsters inside. If we make good use of these monsters, the rest of the problems will be easy to solve.
Who doesn’t know how to play chess?
There's no need to roll up your sleeves and do everything yourself.
"I"
The Butterfly Girl wanted to refuse, but after seeing the chessboard in Chen Luo's hand, she held her words back.
"Do you know why he is so weak? Because you took the wrong path."
"The method we practice was taught by the Lord. It is the holy scripture he comprehended from the Tao. There is absolutely no way it can be wrong!"
The demon crocodile jumped out immediately. He was a die-hard fan of Taoist Black Crow and would never allow anyone to slander the Taoist.
Even though Chen Luo had just let him go.
"So your venerable is dead." (End of this chapter)
