"Old Cow, how did your last master, Lü Shoushan, die?"
Others may not know, but Jiang Li understands that the source of these crazy life-sucking mosquitoes is the Exiled Immortal Residence, which has turned into an underground tomb.
If we could know the origins of these things, we would have more confidence in this trip.
He rode the old cow towards the core node.
There are five luxurious mansions in Wuzhe City, which are owned by the five monsters: cattle, sheep, pig, dog and donkey.
But behind the five buildings, there is actually an independent treasure house unknown to outsiders.
The five exiled demons took half of the spiritual stones they had collected over the years and piled the rest here.
Jiang Li felt that the center of the surging spiritual energy of the earth's veins was right here.
"Master, we actually don't know when the previous master passed away."
"A thousand years ago, after the master returned from a certain ruin, he only said that he would go into seclusion. Let us guard the exiled immortal's former residence."
"But once the master went into seclusion, he never came out again. We dared not disobey his orders and open the master's self-sealed former residence."
"For the past two hundred years, we have been diligently protecting this place."
"Two hundred years later, our five demons' power gradually increased, and we slowly built the current Five Exiles City."
Through the magic weapon on the bull demon, Jiang Li could be sure that he was not lying. The five of them had no status under Lu Shoushan back then, and they would never be told important things.
However, they actually waited two hundred years after their master disappeared before starting to pursue freedom, and they did not dare to leave here for years after that.
It can be seen that the five monsters, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and donkeys, are fierce and powerful to the outside world, but they are quite loyal to their masters, or perhaps it is because they are really too afraid.
Thousands of years have passed, but he still dares not forget the instructions of his former master. Although he has been domineering over the years, he has only built the Five Exiled Fortresses with the sunken Exiled Immortal Residence as the center.
No one dared to touch the sealed immortal's residence.
And in the center of their Five Demons' mansion, right above the exiled immortal's former residence, a new treasure house was rebuilt.
He put half of his income into the treasury as an offering to his master.
Over such a long period of time, no one knew how many treasures had been accumulated in this treasury, but the five monsters only put things in and did not take anything away.
He gave away millions of wealth just to show his loyalty to his master who was most likely dead.
This may be the reason why Jiang Li could subdue them so easily.
The servant nature that was trained thousands of years ago has not been eliminated to this day.
This Wuzhe Stronghold had been burned by the sea of fire he had thrown into it before. Most of the buildings had been burned down, and there was a scorching black area everywhere.
However, the five mansions formed in a circle were built with high-quality materials that could avoid water and fire, so they were not destroyed.
Passing through the city that had turned into ruins, Jiang Li stood in front of the bull demon's mansion.
The five exiled bull demons at the side didn't wait for Jiang Li to speak, but took the initiative to step forward and use their horns to push open the door of their mansion.
But at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly felt a slight pain between his eyebrows.
That was not an injury, but an automatic warning of danger from the spiritual sense.
He raised his hand and pinched it, and between his index finger and middle finger, he found a strange long, thin, transparent needle.
This long needle is transparent and does not reflect light in the sun. Even if an ordinary person observes it carefully, he or she may not be able to see it.
Jiang Li squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He found that the long needle was actually hollow. Inside the hollow of the long needle, there was some suspicious liquid, which might contain deadly toxins.
This long hollow needle is not only extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye, but it is also silent when it is shot.
Even Jiang Li, whose ears had practiced the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, did not hear any movement.
If used as a hidden weapon, it would be really hard to guard against.
He scanned the surroundings and carefully observed the direction from which the hollow tube was shooting. Only then did he vaguely see a transparent outline on the plaque of the Niu Mansion.
A huge mosquito, about the size of a human head, was lying there quietly, with a pair of equally transparent eyes, seeming to be staring at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked at the long hollow needle in his hand again. It was not a hidden weapon, but the dirty mouthparts of the transparent mosquito.
Flames appeared on his hand, burning the mosquito's mouthparts completely. Then he swung his hand and hit the mosquito with the flames.
However, this flame missed.
Mosquitoes in nature are annoying insects that have maxed out their dodge attribute.
This is especially true for this transparent mosquito.
The invisible wings flapped and moved quickly and irregularly in the shadows. After avoiding Jiang Li's flames, it quickly disappeared.
Jiang Li stared for a long time, but couldn't find where the mosquito was hiding.
Moreover, the transparent mosquito-killing wings flapped in the air without making any sound at all.
It moves without making any sound, its shape is hard to see, and there is no leakage of its scent. The concealment ability of this mosquito is really exaggerated.
The fire that had just burned the entire city did not kill them.
This specialized silent and invisible mosquito-killing creature only appears here. It seems to be an elite monster that serves as a guard.
Before he could figure out how to find this mosquito, the next moment, Jiang Li felt the stinging pain all over his body.
Hundreds of tiny, sharp, hollow mouthparts shot towards him and the five exiled bull monsters in front of him from different directions.
Obviously there are many more invisible mosquitoes hiding here.
There was a sound like a steel needle hitting a metal plate. The mouthparts that fell on Jiang Li were all broken and fell to the ground.
The bull monster's defense is not as abnormal as Jiang Li's.
Although the fur is thick, it is also pierced by the sharp mouthparts.
The venom in the middle of those transparent long needle worm tubes was injected, and then a red line extended out, followed by dozens of blood lines oozing out from the hollow mouthparts.
Although these mouthparts are small, the speed of bleeding is quite fast.
The Five Exiled Bull Demon was quite powerful. With a sweep of his spiritual energy, he broke all the mouthparts.
But the front end of the mouthparts remains under the skin, continuing to bleed slowly.
Mosquitoes are creatures that spend their entire lives disgusting people.
But even for such a disgusting creature, there is always something that can cure it.
Jiang Li raised his hand and scattered a handful of seeds, and immediately countless plants with sharp teeth grew on the ground.
Pitcher plants, biting plants, corpse vines, and blood-sucking trees.
More than twenty species of carnivorous plants grew and spread rapidly with the support of Jiang Li's spiritual energy.
Click the monster and hunt the forest! This is Jiang Li's Jiuyou Tree Realm. In addition to the King Sea Driftwood that adapts to the saline-alkali land of the beach, there is another revised version.
All consist of predatory plants.
The surface of these plants can secrete some sticky and sweet nutrient juice, which can lure nearby insects to approach and capture them.
The predatory forest soon covered the entire Wuze City. Its height blocked out the sky and the sun, and it surrounded the five demons' mansions in the middle.
The invisible mosquitoes guarding outside the treasure house cannot escape the nature of insects.
They are well camouflaged and have the high evasiveness of mosquitoes. But they only have instincts and no intelligence.
Attracted by the sweet juice, these mosquitoes flew out from this hidden corner and landed in the hunting forest, where they were swallowed and digested silently.
After getting rid of the mosquitoes outside, Jiang Li finally stood in front of the door of the core treasure house.
Holding five keys from five demons in his hand, he was about to open the treasure house.
But before he could go forward, the door of the treasure house opened by itself from the inside.
"Our treasure trove!"
Seeing the scene inside through the crack in the door, the old cow next to Jiang Li couldn't help but howl, and two lines of crystal tears almost shed from its eyes.
All the magic weapons and spiritual stones in the entire treasure house had become dim at this time.
Just like the several magic weapons in the underground immortal's residence before, the spiritual energy and charm inside them disappeared completely.
The treasure house that was originally worth at least tens of millions of spirit stones has now turned into a pile of waste.
Needless to say, it was definitely the work of those mosquitoes again.
These things should have originally belonged to Jiang Li.
Now that everything has gone to waste, he is naturally quite angry.
At this time, a sound similar to the trembling of insect wings came from the treasure house. These tremors combined with each other and strangely formed human words.
"I have no grudges against my Taoist friend. Why would you kill my descendants?"
A blurry figure in a blue Taoist robe walked out of the treasure house door.
Why is he blurry? Because this figure is obviously not a real person, but a disgusting insect aggregate formed by countless tiny mosquitoes gathered together.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
As soon as he spoke, the mosquitoes on his body began to flap their wings together, making their outlines look blurry.
Are there some tiny mosquitoes trying to change their positions? It can be seen from the overall appearance that his body surface will move up and down irregularly from time to time, which looks as disgusting as it can be.
Jiang Li raised his hand and typed out a certificate of appraisal.
But now I have reached level 9 of the Determination Technique, but I haven’t identified many useful things.
【Name: ? Winged black mosquito】
【type:??】
【Age: Ancient】
【Gender: Hermaphrodite】
[Status: Weak,? ? ]
[Danger level: unknown]
When this kind of identification fails, it usually means that the other party is stronger than oneself, or has an extraordinary origin.
The person before me could be... both.
"No grudges or hatred? That may not be the case."
"Where did you come from, you mosquito demon? I kindly let you leave the secret room. But you attacked my stronghold and killed countless of my little demons."
"Devouring the earth veins, destroying the foundation of my Five Exiled City."
"So, do you still think we have no grudges against each other?"
This group of mosquitoes was initially released by Jiuyou's clone. The Five Exiled Demons have now become his demon servants, and this Five Exiled City is naturally his territory.
If you insist, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
"So it was you who let this poor Taoist out."
"In that case, I, Taoist Mosquito, would like to apologize to you first."
"The original owner of this land imprisoned me for a thousand years. I escaped and ascended to heaven, but I committed many murders in vain."
"Fruits come to those who have caused them. It's inevitable that there will be retribution. I am willing to use my magical power as compensation. After thousands of years of karma, how about we settle it today?"
This Taoist Mosquito was extremely ugly, and his voice made Jiang Li feel uncomfortable.
But it was clearly a monster made up of countless mosquitoes, but it spoke clearly and was obviously quite intelligent.
He explained the whole story and expressed his willingness to provide compensation.
A magical power is naturally a great temptation to Jiang Li.
It is also enough to make up for the loss of Wuzhe City. If it were under normal circumstances, with Jiang Li's character, he would naturally not choose to seize and force others.
but.
"Master Mosquito really wants to settle the cause and effect and turn hostility into friendship?"
Jiang Li continued to ask calmly.
"nature."
Mosquito nodded to the man, and the tiny mosquitoes on his face crawled away, revealing a smile that could drive a person with trypophobia to death.
"What do you mean by that!"
Jiang Li lowered his head and looked downward.
A few extremely tiny black dots were climbing up along the hooves of the Five Exiled Bull Demon.
Not only that, but there were also some rapidly moving black spots on the hem of Jiang Li's clothes.
If you don't look carefully, you might think it's just a bit of dirt that got stuck from somewhere.
Those black spots made Jiang Li's hair stand on end. They were clearly a collection of mosquitoes, part of the Mosquito Taoist.
A ball of flame enhanced by the power of Jiuyou Shura burst out of his body and enveloped the climbing black mosquitoes.
Tiny screams emanated from those black spots. But they couldn't be burned to death in a short time! "What do you mean? It means you should give me your life and I will let Taoist Mosquito suck you until you are completely destroyed and the karma between you and me will be settled!"
The group of mosquitoes pulled out a long spear that looked like a hollow mouthpart from somewhere and stabbed it straight towards Jiang Li's forehead.
Being pointed at by the sharp tip of the gun, Jiang Li suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis.
Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!
If you are stabbed by that spear, you will definitely die! You can feel the power of that mouth-shaped spear, it must be very terrifying.
It would definitely be easy to break through his defense.
The black scale armor, ready to strike at any time, instantly covered the whole body.
While flying backwards on the ground, he also used the Nine Nether Wood Technique, and a big tree instantly grew out of the ground, blocking him in front of him.
This was the only reaction Jiang Li could make in an instant.
But the mouth weapon spear instantly pierced through the big tree in front of Jiang Li, and pierced Jiang Li's forehead at a speed that left him no chance to dodge.
Jiang Li felt a pain between his eyebrows, and he flew backwards at a faster speed, falling into the predator forest behind him.
"I'm hurt?"
Jiang Li, who was caught by the predator forest, felt dizzy and his blood was weak.
When he touched the forehead of the black scale armor helmet, he clearly felt a tiny hole, from which a trickle of blood was flowing.
The shot just now not only penetrated the Nine Nether Wood created by Jiang Li, but also easily penetrated the defense of the Earth-level magic weapon Black Spirit Armor, and penetrated the helmet to injure him.
If he had not reacted quickly and summoned the Immortal Sword at the last moment, the flying sword would have emerged from between his eyebrows and would have collided with the tip of the mouthpart spear.
Even if the hollow spear had penetrated an inch further, he would be in danger today.
Even so, the spear only scratched a little skin on his forehead, and it drained a large amount of his blood.
Jiang Li's Black Scale Armor and Immortal Slaying Sword both suffered considerable damage. A small hole was directly broken in the Black Scale Armor, and several cracks appeared on the Immortal Slaying Sword starting from the tip of the sword.
Looking outside, the mouth-shaped spear absorbed the few drops of blood on the tip of the spear through the hole in the middle.
Then the mosquitoes on the Mosquito Taoist's body squirmed a few times and made human-like clicking sounds.
"The smell of the emperor's blood, and dragon blood. It seems that I'm lucky. I can encounter this kind of blood food as soon as I come out. It's spiritual. The taste is a bit strange."
"As long as I absorb you, I, Taoist Mosquito, will be able to recover some strength!"
Then I'll correct the typos.
