Chapter 5: Scale Monster



"It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to invite my brother Jiang Li to sleep in the tent with me, but now it seems that he has made a better choice."

Yan Hong, a man with a big round face, walked out from the side, with his hands behind his back and a sarcastic look on his face.

He reached out and took the soup bowl off the plate, and there was actually a thin handkerchief underneath it.

In this era, this meaning is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

"roll!"

"I have to practice at night. You've heard the snoring before. It's fine for me to stay in the carriage by myself."

Jiang Li put away the handkerchief and decisively rejected Yan Hong's invitation to have sex.

Yan Hong actually came to congratulate him, because among the boys and girls in the team, his reputation had completely reversed, from a wretched and cowardly pervert to a determined and vengeful young man.

It is obvious that he did nothing good and it is true that he used foul language, but after he showed his strength, the right to speak returned to his hands. As long as others are willing to believe what you say, there are still many ways to explain something.

So soon, his peers' views of him changed dramatically.

In this special world, strength is undoubtedly the first criterion for value judgment, so after he showed his strength, he even became the dream lover of many girls.

On the contrary, Yan Fengyue hasn't been having a very happy life recently.

The group of friends who used to be close to her still treated her well in front of her, but when they turned their backs on her, they started to say that she was shameless for seducing men.

The key point was that the area of ​​each camping site was not large, so Yan Fengyue heard it several times. That kind of embarrassment was really not something a little girl could deal with. It was not right for her to pretend not to hear it, and it was not right to expose it in person. She felt very uncomfortable.

. . . .

Time passed day by day during the journey, and as the destination approached, several convoys gathered together one after another.

Jiang Li noticed that the logos on the carriages were exactly the same, and the robed cultivators looked familiar with each other when they talked to each other. It was obvious that these convoys belonged to the same force.

Yan Hong, a shrewd man, would communicate with people from other caravans every time he set up camp to rest, exchanging information and sharing what he had.

Due to the mysterious nature of those immortal cultivators, or their general disdain for mortals, very little useful intelligence was obtained.

They only knew that these convoys were all affiliated with a force called "Shengxian Pavilion". They would send out convoys every few years to detect and take away children with spiritual roots in the secular kingdom.

It was speculated that this might be an intermediary organization that connected the mortal world with the immortal world. With their current knowledge, they could not guess how big the power was.

So where there is demand there will be interest, and where there is interest there will definitely be someone to fill the gap.

Being an intermediary can bring profits to both sides. Apart from anything else, the owner of Shengxian Pavilion must have a good financial mind.

Then, one evening when Jiang Li’s Suihu Kungfu broke through to level 7, Yan Hong came to him excitedly.

"Jiang Li! Jiang Li! Come out quickly! I have something good to show you!"

Jiang Li slowly finished his training and sighed. It seemed that he had to be more careful when practicing next time. When Suihu Gong was upgraded to the next level, internal force would be generated. If it was interrupted so suddenly again, he might vomit three liters of blood.

"My little prince, why are you making such a fuss? If you asked me if I wanted a wife, I might be more interested."

Jiang Li came out of the car with some complaints.

Recently he has been practicing whenever he has time, because since he has been in those gain states for a long time, his energy is always in a saturated and abundant state, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't consume it through practicing.

"What a mess! Come with me! Another convoy has joined us. You will never guess who is in the car this time."

Yan Hong was very excited and pulled Jiang Li to the back of the convoy.

"Yeah, there are Persian girls with blonde hair and blue eyes, Indian girls with dark skin and curly hair, and Murr girls with pierced ears, noses, and mouths. Yanhong, can you look at something else besides girls?"

"I promise this time. I promise it's not a girl. No, it kind of looks like a girl... but it's not a real girl either...! Anyway, just follow me."

Soon, Jiang Li also discovered something was wrong, because there seemed to be far more people joining in the fun than just Yan Hong and a few other perverts. There were more than two hundred people in the several convoys in total, and most of them surrounded the new convoy.

What kind of person could be so popular? Moreover, it felt like watching monkeys in a zoo, not like watching a human.

Jiang Li and the other man approached, and he relied on his brute strength that far exceeded that of his peers to push through the crowd and squeeze in.

The carriage he finally saw stunned him, because it was not the carriage he was familiar with, but a large iron cage welded from steel bars as thick as thumbs.

There was also a wooden bathtub about half a person's height in the cage, the kind that is often seen in costume dramas.

Judging from the situation, could there be some ferocious beast locked up in there?

Jiang Li looked at Yan Hong, his meaning was very clear.

"What's in here?"

"Wait and see, it will show up soon."

Yan Hong stood at the front of the crowd with a solemn oath.

At this time, some boys became impatient and stepped forward to reach into the cage and hit the wooden barrel inside.

Others began throwing the remaining steamed bun pieces into the wooden barrel.

"Hey, come out! If you don't come out I'll throw stones at you!"

There was a young man from another team who was very brave and actually started looking for stones on the ground.

Plop! Someone threw a fist-sized rock into the barrel. Something inside seemed to be enraged, and water splashed violently.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

The angry roar from the inner martial artist instantly scared the naughty kid who was throwing stones and made him squat.

No one else dared to cause trouble, so several black-clad warriors appeared and began to forcefully disperse the crowd.

These immortal cultivator reserve troops were just a group of children after all. They dispersed obediently after being frightened. Jiang Li had no choice but to leave with the others.

In the corner of his eye when he looked back for the last time, he only saw a slender arm reaching out from the wooden barrel and grabbing the iron bars outside.

"Yanhong, now you can finally tell me what's inside."

Yan Hong scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I don't know either, but it must be a monster, or a monster in the water."

Jiang Li shook his head. I knew I shouldn’t have expected Yan Hong to be reliable.

"But, a monster..."

Jiang Li kept muttering this word, and he didn't know if it was the monster he imagined.

. . . .

At night, the moonlight shines brightly.

In a corner of the quiet camp, Jiang Li was snoring loudly in the carriage.

Of course, this is not real snoring, otherwise Jiang Li’s throat might rot the next day due to such loud snoring.

At this moment, a melodious and clear singing voice came into his ears.

So comfortable... Such a gentle voice.

It was like a baby returning to his mother's arms, with the soft singing surrounding him, and he felt only peace and comfort.

Jiang Li let go of all his vigilance and precautions. Subconsciously, he just wanted to relax his body, and he didn't know when he stopped practicing the Sui Hu Gong that he had been practicing.

He was lying on the hard wooden board, but it felt like he was lying on a soft bed with eighteen layers of goose down. He was so comfortable that he actually smiled.

until.

[Affected by the song of the scale monster, the mental attribute immunity failed, and hypnosis took effect on oneself]

[Hypnosis: Perception suppression 50%, mental suppression 50%, forced into deep sleep, duration 3 hours] (-+)

The two lines of subtitles that suddenly appeared in his field of vision scared Jiang Li so much that he became slightly more conscious.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

But... I'm sleepy! So sleepy!

Jiang Li felt so sleepy that he felt like he was being sleep-paralyzed. He couldn't move his limbs at all. His double eyelids felt so heavy that it seemed as if they were pressing down on two Yan Hongs. He couldn't open them at all.

No! I can't fall asleep!

State! Reduced state! Five seconds later, Jiang Li suddenly stood up, breathing heavily. He was just a little bit away from falling asleep.

Fortunately, the character panel appeared directly in his field of vision, so he could see it clearly even with his eyes closed.

"What happened?"

Jiang Li's head was full of question marks. The song of the scale demon was still being sung outside. After listening for a while, he began to feel weak and drowsy again.

After the [Hypnosis] state was eliminated again, he immediately grabbed the steamed buns left over from dinner, tore off two pieces, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed them into his ears.

The beautiful singing voice suddenly became inaudible, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want to... go out and take a look?"

“The risk seems a bit high.”

After struggling for a long time between the two ideas of "you will die if you don't do it" and "the bold ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation", Jiang Li finally chose a compromise.

Dig a hole in the carriage and look outside.

He carefully drew out his sword and climbed up against the wooden board of the carriage.

Jiang Li's strength at this time was several times that of an ordinary mortal, and the long sword in his hand was a precious sword that was worth a fortune in the mortal world. Wood chips flew everywhere and soon an inconspicuous small hole was drilled out.

Looking through the small hole, I found that the outside was filled with thick fog and visibility was extremely low. The campfire not far away was vague and could not be seen clearly.

“The fog smells fishy!”

Swish! In the woods on the side, the grass and trees suddenly swayed, as if there were some large creatures running among them. However, in order to prevent the singing, his ears were filled with balled buns, so he could not hear the sound clearly.

Jiang Li thought to himself that something was not going well, and he clenched the sword in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency.

After a while, a large number of black shadows emerged from the woods. Some of them went towards the carriage where the "monster" was imprisoned, while the other part went straight to the tent area in the center of the camp.

Jiang Li cursed in his heart, those immortal cultivators acted so arrogantly, but no one knew where they were at the critical moment.

Before the enemy came close, he quietly opened the wooden door, turned over and jumped out.

According to the status prompt on the panel, this continuous singing is called the Song of the Scale Demon, so the guy who makes this song should be the Scale Demon.

Could it be that... they were seeking revenge for the captured "monsters"? The shadow approached quickly, and the singing stopped abruptly, replaced by waves of unpleasant roars.

They pounced on the tent. The thick cloth could not stop them. One by one, the sleeping boys and girls were dragged out of their beds.

When they woke up from their dreams, they found a group of monsters lying on their bellies and gnawing at their internal organs!

At this time, a scaly monster was attracted by something. After sniffing the scent, it actually ran towards Jiang Li.

The breathing in its throat was heavy and hoarse, in stark contrast to the beautiful singing.

It opened the wooden door of the carriage, stuck its head in, looked left and right, and was puzzled to find that there was no one inside.

At this moment, a sharp blade emerged from under the carriage and quickly slashed across the legs of the scaly monster.

The fishy blood flowed out, and the monster fell down belatedly.

Jiang Li crawled out from under the car and took a look. To his surprise, the monster was not ugly at all, but rather looked quite good.

Her skin is fair and smooth, a delicate girl's face, her black hair is longer than her waist, and it sticks to her body, revealing her exquisite curves.

It's no wonder that Yan Hong used the word "girls" to describe them. Only the pair of dark, enlarged pupils and the two rows of sharp teeth revealed during the demonstration spoiled the view.

The long sword instantly pierced through the chest of the scaly monster. After killing this beautiful monster, Jiang Li no longer hesitated and ran towards Yan Hong.

He just saw that several scaly monsters were moving over there.

The boys and girls' miserable screams before their death pierced the night sky. In another direction, from where the immortal cultivators were, human voices were finally heard.

"Damn it! I'm going to lose money on this mission!"

"You are so bold! You dare to come ashore and seek death!"

"Wake up quickly!"

The continuous roars caused the air to vibrate and Jiang Li's eardrums to buzz.

This finally awakened the people who were affected by hypnosis.

The boys and girls woke up in a daze, and when they found the commotion outside, they were at a loss as to what to do, which only meant adding to the chaos.

But fortunately, there is no need to count on them.

Flashes of fire streaked through the thick fog and hit the scaly monster, but they turned out to be pieces of burning talismans.

The wet scaly monsters were hit by the Taoist talisman and began to burn violently without any delay. No matter how they rolled on the ground, the fire could not be extinguished.

The black-clad warriors were also filled with shock and anger. They rushed towards the group of scaly monsters with sharp blades in hand and chopped them up like melons and vegetables. Compared to humans, they were not actually very tall and strong, so they were no match for the internal martial artists.

Soon with a roar, they all turned around and ran away.

At this time, white figures flashed over and the talismans in their hands changed again. The scale monster that was hit stopped burning and lay on the ground with its body stiff and unable to move.

"Catch him alive!"
