Chapter 347
The monkey demon was still unaware of his unintentional 'feat'.
At this moment, it was gesturing frantically, trying to describe its experience to Cheng Hui.
Thanks to the monkey demon's intelligence, and the fact that Cheng Hui and he had some kind of "telepathy", he was able to guess what it was saying from its completely distorted movements.
The monkey demon killed a monk with bad intentions.
And just then, a demon cultivator escaped from his side.
Combining the two, we can probably guess the identity of this person.
Cheng Hui: ...
So, this person escaped from me and then died at the hands of the monkey demon?
Cheng Hui suddenly felt annoyed. This guy boasted about himself so much and caused so many tragedies, but this is the result?
It’s not that Cheng Hui looks down on him, but the monkey demon’s combat power is only slightly stronger than a goose. It can still kill the demon cultivator. How useless must the demon cultivator be?
However, Cheng Hui didn't plan to go over immediately, but waited quietly for a while.
He had already sent a communication talisman to Luo Beidou and was waiting for his reply. At least he wanted to find out the details of the Poisonous Taoist priest to avoid falling into his trap.
Yes, Cheng Hui is still not sure whether the Poisonous Taoist is dead or not. After all, most of these cunning old men are proficient in playing dead. It would be funny if he was caught off guard and was killed by someone.
Soon, Luo Beidou's communication talisman came back.
In the communication talisman, he briefly introduced the identity of the Poisonous Taoist and his past deeds.
Cheng Hui was stunned. He never imagined that the weak demon cultivator who was killed by the monkey demon was actually... a big devil who had killed countless people?
Cheng Hui stared at the monkey demon blankly. The monkey demon was also confused. Was the demon cultivator it just killed so powerful?
But no matter what, Luo Beidou emphasized in the communication talisman that the Poisonous Taoist had a special speed that could infect people. Once infected, unless rescued in time, there was basically no hope of salvation. Not only that, the person would also become the opponent's puppet body, so he asked Cheng Hui to pay attention to this.
Cheng Hui secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. This infectiousness was no less than that of a virus. No wonder this man had killed so many people.
It carries infectious toxins, so are you afraid?
Cheng Hui couldn't help but shudder. If such a powerful poison gets out of control, wouldn't the world of cultivation become a biochemical crisis?
Thinking about the corpse of the Poison Taoist, Cheng Hui felt a headache. He knew with his toes that such a poisonous person would definitely be a major source of poison. If it was not dealt with, the surrounding environment would soon become "a thousand mountains devoid of birds, a thousand paths devoid of people"...
"I'll go deal with the body of the Poison Taoist. I'll be back soon... well, it might take a while."
Lin Qingyang also knew very well how serious the consequences of a poisonous corpse would be, not to mention that the poison of this Poisonous Taoist was so special. If it spread out, the ordinary people around him would definitely not have a good end.
"Let's go, I'll go with you." Lin Qingyang was worried and wanted to go with him.
Cheng Hui thought that his retreat had been disrupted anyway. Looking at Lin Qingyang's expression, it was obvious that he would not allow him to go alone.
Come on, let’s go on this trip together.
However, before going, Cheng Hui tried hard to recall the epidemic prevention knowledge he had learned to be on the safe side.
This knowledge may not be useful, but he always felt that the poison on the Poisonous Taoist was more like a vicious virus than a toxin, so the mask... could have some protective effect, right?
He found expensive Tianling yarn and made two masks, and used a soft mineral to "mold" out a piece of clothing.
The clothes are heavy and not breathable. The only benefit of wearing them is probably that they can isolate the air inside and outside.
Anyway, monks can hold their breath for a short period of time and it won’t have any impact.
In this way, Cheng Hui made all the necessary preparations, and then he pulled Lin Qingyang and flew to the back mountain on his sword.
The monkey demon guided them to the cave. From a distance, Cheng Hui asked Lin Qingyang to cast spells on him in advance, including various defensive spells. When Cheng Hui fell to the ground, he looked like a colorful ball of light, his whole body shining with the brilliance of various spells.
Cheng Hui silently comforted himself, for safety and not to embarrass himself!
Then drive the monkey demon away and let it drive away all the wild beasts around it, so that the remaining poison will not harm these unfortunate beasts again.
The monkey demon squeaked twice and ran away. After Cheng Hui's explanation along the way, it finally understood that the guy it killed so easily was poisoned.
Although it did not take the group of wild beasts seriously, it still had to remind them of such a dangerous matter.
After the monkey demon walked away, Cheng Hui wanted to drive Lin Qingyang away as well, but the other party's firm eyes made him swallow all his words of persuasion.
"Then you must walk behind me later." Cheng Hui instructed.
Lin Qingyang responded softly. In terms of defense, Cheng Hui's zombie body was stronger than his own, so he would not show off in this regard.
The two men arrived at the entrance of the cave one after the other. Although the magic circle at the entrance was repaired by the monkey demon, it was just a casual move at that time. In addition, there were people inside who were constantly attacking, and cracks had appeared in many nodes of the formation, and it could break at any time.
Cheng Hui looked through the magic circle at the hideous corpse inside and couldn't help but gasp.
The only thing worth looking at now about the Taoist Poisonous Evil is his face.
His body was merely humanoid, like a human skin stuffed with rotten flesh, with a pair of large hands constantly kneading these pieces of flesh. From time to time, the skin would crack somewhere, and a yellow liquid would flow out. When the liquid drained out, the wound would quickly heal and return to its original state.
Cheng Hui was disgusted. He was not surprised that the Poisonous Taoist came back to life. After all, in his mind, this guy was an old scoundrel. It was normal for him to pretend to be dead, but it was a bit unexpected that he would turn into such a horrible appearance.
To be honest, when Cheng Hui saw him for the first time, his reaction was that this guy might be out of control.
What? This is a world of immortal cultivation, not Steam Cthulhu? Oh, that's fine.
Disgusting or not, this person must be eliminated.
Cheng Hui looked at the Poisonous Taoist with an expressionless face, watching him roar at him across the magic circle.
He thought: This guy seems to be really finished. Even if the monkey demon didn't kill him, he must have felt bad, otherwise he wouldn't have turned himself into this.
But the pus flowing from his body made Cheng Hui hesitate. He could tell it was full of virus. Now that the magic circle was isolating it, the toxins hadn't been released yet. If he activated the magic circle, what if the thing spread? He couldn't really turn the world into a biochemical crisis, could he?
It was only after Lin Qingyang reminded him that he remembered that he could set up another magic circle in the outer circle to separate the inside and the outside, and he could do it even better. After all, his magic circle setting skills were much better than that of the Poisonous Taoist.
Cheng Hui spent another half hour setting up a powerful defensive formation around the cave.
However, his defensive formations in the past were all aimed at the outside, but this time, the formation was specifically aimed at the inside. Unless Cheng Hui allowed it or the formation was broken, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to escape.
After making all the preparations, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang looked at each other and silently opened the magic circle.
As soon as the magic circle was opened, all kinds of spells in the hands of the two were thrown out. Cheng Hui even released a small flame mixed with the sword light. The purpose was naturally to destroy the poisonous corpse as quickly as possible.
As for torture, Cheng Hui didn't even think about it.
If it were someone else, they might covet the magical poison of the Poisonous Taoist, but in Cheng Hui's opinion, this thing that is obviously a disaster should be killed as soon as possible.
Rumbling sounds continued to explode in the cave.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang's magical attack did achieve very good results.
Anyway, when Cheng Hui carefully waited for the smoke from the spell to dissipate, there was nothing left of the Poisonous Taoist priest, not to mention his body, except for a few bone fragments left on the ground.
Cheng Hui guessed that the man was definitely dead, but it was hard to say about the virus.
He hardened his heart and once again summoned the Red Lotus Fire, burning every inch of his disciples, including the cave.
The power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire was very obvious. It would occasionally burst into flames in an open space while burning normally, completely burning something invisible. Cheng Hui circled the cave more than ten times before the Red Lotus Karma Fire completely recovered to that small ball and did not erupt again.
Cheng Hui was still in shock. Fortunately, he was cautious enough. He didn't expect that even after the Poison Taoist was blown into ashes, there were still so many poisons left. If he hadn't noticed it and directly released the magic circle and left, he couldn't imagine what the world would become.
"Okay, this time the Poisonous Taoist is completely gone." Cheng Hui said, wiping the cold sweat from his head.
"Is there anything else that needs to be done?" Lin Qingyang asked. He didn't know where Cheng Hui got these tricks from, but he believed in them unconditionally.
Cheng Hui thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, it should be fine. However, for safety reasons, I'd better set up the magic circle tightly to prevent any unprocessed toxins from escaping."
Lin Qingyang had no objection. He just reminded Cheng Hui that it would be best not to make the magic circle too conspicuous. Otherwise, if a monk passing by thought there was some treasure hidden inside, he would try his best to break the magic circle, which would be funny.
The corner of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He almost forgot about the moral character of these monks.
They even dared to dig up the tombs of ancient powerful people. If they really thought there were good things inside, they would definitely try their best to break the magic circle.
To be on the safe side, it would be better for him to create a low-key magic circle. Well, the materials of the nodes also need to be disguised. It would be best if they were the kind of rubbish that no one would pick up if thrown on the ground.
This struggle took another half day. This time, Cheng Hui had an idea when setting up the formation and hid the illusion array inside. This way, if anyone wanted to explore here, they would be trapped if they walked into the illusion array. They would circle around the illusion array and think they had already entered the cave and found nothing.
In this way, as long as no one notices the existence of the illusion array, the cave will be safe and no one will rashly break in.
Cheng Hui always felt that the toxin posed a great threat to humans and was afraid that he would not be able to kill the bacteria thoroughly.
However, now all the living things in the cave have been burned by the red lotus fire, and even the ground has been burned into a substance almost like glass. Unless the poison can survive without food or water, this cave will be completely safe in a few hundred years.
After dealing with everything here, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang returned to the manor for seclusion.
This time, without any random people to disturb them, the two of them successfully entered the best state and truly began to overcome the tribulation!
