Chapter 389: Unexpected?
Li Chu's series of actions made the pheasant spirit next to him dumbfounded.
Everything was fine when they came, with some plans, but I didn't expect Li Chu to just act so simply and brutally.
You call this euphemism?
Huang Wulang had told it before that Li Chu had a high level of cultivation, but it thought that this human didn't look very old, and no matter how high his ability was, it might not be able to succeed in a head-on confrontation with the monsters on Hutou Peak.
Now, compared to this little Taoist priest, these monsters would be shattered at the slightest touch.
It couldn't help but feel fortunate that it was standing in the right direction.
Today's black tiger probably has a deep understanding of what it means to "pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
Who could have thought that he was enjoying food and wine and singing songs the moment before, and suddenly he was robbed by this guy.
But the situation is stronger than the tiger.
The thing that these monsters who grew up in the jungle understand best is that survival is above all else.
So its status suddenly changed from the tiger king to a little tiger.
Li Chu looked at the black tiger and continued to ask, "A while ago, two old doctors went into the mountains to look for Huang Daxian's treasure bag. It is said that they came to you. Do you know where they went?"
The pheasant spirit noticed that when Li Chu asked the question, although his face was calm, the two fingers of his left hand were faintly upright.
It had no doubt that as long as the black tiger said "eat" or "kill", a long red rainbow would immediately fall from the sky and burn the entire tiger cave to ashes.
I don't know if the black tiger caught this point, but its answer did not go astray.
"this……"
It frowned and thought for a while. At first, it was still hesitant and sweaty on its forehead, but soon it opened its mouth and said:
"Those two old men! I remember now, they are fine. They wanted to find the whereabouts of Wong Tai Sin's treasure bag and the source of the miasma, but I couldn't let them succeed... Uh, this is not important, anyway..."
It realized that it seemed to have said something too much and quickly changed its words.
"Go on."
Li Chu noticed something wrong in its words, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
After experiencing these instant kills time and time again, although Li Chu is still elegant and easy-going, there is a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Maybe not strong, but definitely chilly enough.
The black tiger shuddered immediately, and glanced at his brother with his huge eyes.
There seemed to be some resistance and pleading in the yellow tiger's big eyes, but Li Chu's ruthless eyes were as dazzling as swords, and it was so scared that it immediately withdrew its gaze.
"This is what happened..."
"When I got the treasure bag, I thought it was of little use. But by chance... I had a good brother who was hanging out in the Golden State. He said this thing might have miraculous effects, so I took it away."
"After a while, my good brother who used to hang out in Golden State came back and gave me the treasure bag after the ritual. He told me to find a secret place in Longjue Ridge to open it and release the miasma inside."
It turns out that the miasma in Longjue Ridge was released by the black tiger.
As for the brother hanging out in the Golden State...
Li Chu looked at the yellow-spotted tiger, and felt that it had a look of despair on its face.
"After these two old men came, I learned that they wanted to expel the miasma, so I pretended to invite them into the cave and secretly ordered my men to lock them up. Then I asked that... a good brother from the Golden State to deal with them. When my good brother heard that they were famous doctors in the world, he said that they were preparing to make medicine in the cave recently, so he took them away..."
When saying this, the black tiger always looked at the yellow tiger inadvertently.
The yellow-spotted tiger had anger in his eyes, as if saying... just tell me your name directly.
Finally, Li Chu asked, "How many good brothers do you have?"
The black tiger replied weakly, "One."
The black tiger's turn was over. Li Chu sealed his whole body again, and then untied some of the yellow tiger's acupuncture points. He looked at this brother who was hanging out in the Golden State...
"Now it's your turn. What's going on?"
The yellow tiger looked at Li Chu in horror, then looked at his brother with disappointment, and finally sighed deeply, saying that he was not afraid of good opponents but only of bad teammates.
"I am a small leader of Sanwangling in the Golden State. Although Sanwangling was not one of the best in the Golden State, it was still a powerful force. But a few years ago, our leader was captured by humans, and since then the power of Sanwangling has declined. The other two kings have been committed to rescuing the leader, and they have tried several times, but all failed."
"Until a few days ago, a mysterious man came and said he could help us rescue the boss, but he wanted us from Sanwangling to cooperate with them in doing something. I don't know the details, they talked in secret, and I just heard a little bit."
"I just happened to get this treasure at that time, and wanted to present it to the two kings, but the two kings scolded me for bringing something that stinks to heaven. Who knew that the mysterious man saw it, smiled and said that it was just right. He took the treasure bag to make sacrifices, and after a few days, he told me to do this and that, and told me to take the treasure bag to Longjue Ridge and release it."
"All of this was directed by that mysterious person and has little to do with us at Sanwangling."
As the yellow-spotted tiger spoke, he looked up at Li Chu again and found that his expression was still calm, without showing much joy or anger.
It continued, "Later, our boss was really rescued by the mysterious man, and their connection became closer. The mysterious man also left a recipe for an elixir for the boss, saying that it could replenish his vitality that he had consumed during his years of imprisonment. The boss was too proud to say that no one in our cave knew how to make an elixir..."
"It just so happened that my brother said that he had captured two doctors who wanted to find the source of the miasma. I suddenly had an idea. I wondered if it would be feasible to let them make medicine for us in the cave."
"So I came to take them away and imprisoned them in our Three Kings Ridge. These two really know how to make medicine. Not only did they refine the recipe left by the mysterious man, they also prescribed several more effective recipes, curing all the serious illnesses of our kings."
"Our kings no longer have back pain and kidney problems..."
It was talking incessantly, but when it saw that Li Chu seemed a little impatient, it immediately stopped talking.
"So..." Li Chu looked at it calmly: "Now the two old doctors are in Sanwangling of your Golden State, right?"
"That's right!" The yellow tiger nodded heavily.
call……
Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all these twists and turns, Wang Longqi's life was finally saved.
No wonder Yaowang Town invited a group of powerful people to Longjue Ridge, but still couldn’t find any trace of the two old doctors.
Because they're not even here.
But it was a little strange. The two old doctors were not rookies without experience, so why would they risk their lives together? I couldn't figure it out.
So he said politely: "Then I'll have to trouble you to take me there. Thank you for your help."
The yellow-spotted tiger grinned and said, "No trouble, no trouble. Didn't a wise man named Lu once said that tigers are humans' best friends?"
Li Chu looked at its enthusiastic face and felt that what it said made some sense.
…
Longjueling is not far from Golden State.
Go northeast along the mountain range, cross a vast snowfield, see the first patch of green, and you’ll enter the territory of the Golden State.
This place is actually a vast oasis in the snowfield, and it should be considered a great place of life. But now it is occupied by countless monsters and is full of foul smells.
There were hundreds of demon forces operating independently in this oasis, and there were probably nearly a thousand demon kings, large and small. As one of the three major settlements of the demon race, if the strength accumulated over the years could be combined into one, it would definitely be quite terrifying.
Of course, this situation is almost impossible to happen.
Sanwangling is considered to be a first-class power. Although there are no super monsters equivalent to the immortals on land, the three monster kings have practiced for thousands of years and have the same level of cultivation as the cultivators in the Zhanxiu realm, which should not be underestimated.
They have also been keen on recruiting soldiers and horses, and have at least two to three thousand little monsters under their command.
If the leader of the three demon kings had not suddenly disappeared a few years ago, he would probably not be willing to have his power limited to this mere mountain.
On this day, in Sanwangling, the little leader, the yellow-spotted tiger, walked into the huge cave.
It encountered many monsters along the way, a small part of them had to be greeted by nodding and bowing, while the majority of them required it to nod and bow to greet them.
There is no way, in fact, its status on Sanwangling is not high.
Don't be fooled by the black tiger who is shouting and praising his brother to the sky in Longjue Ridge. In fact, the yellow tiger is just a small leader of a very low status in Sanwang Ridge, with only a dozen or so small demons under his command.
It has been working hard in the Golden State for many years, and has experienced many hardships and obstacles and tasted the bitterness of life before it has barely gained a foothold.
The folks in Longjueling all think that it enjoys a good life here and has everything it wants, but they have no idea that it actually spends more time bowing and scraping.
Only by returning to a place like Longjueling can it enjoy for a moment the vanity of being surrounded by people and admired by all the monsters.
That's why it would quickly collect any treasure it saw and present it to the king. Because there were too many little monsters on the Three Kings Ridge, if it wanted to stand out, it had to win the favor of several kings.
The treasure bag presented last time seemed to have played a big role. In addition, with the capture of two people who made medicine, several kings have noticed it, and it has therefore gained the power to walk freely in the inner cave.
It thought this was the beginning of its meteoric rise, but it didn't expect it would also bring about such a disaster.
There was an inconspicuous little bell hanging on its right waist, which made no sound when it walked because something was stuck in the bell.
That is a travel talisman.
According to the young Taoist priest, as long as he carries this talisman, he can see the scenery within a ten-foot radius around him.
I have to take this talisman with me to the place where the two old men are imprisoned, and then leave the bell there. At this point, I will complete my mission.
The young Taoist priest will go and rescue the two old men. In this way, no one will know that he is a traitor.
A perfect plan.
If he really has the ability to rescue people quietly.
The inner cave where the three kings resided was also very vast, almost hollowing out an entire mountain. Upon entering, there was a huge public area, which was relatively clean in the front, but there were corpses everywhere in the corners, and no demon cared.
There are a total of six or seven cave entrances extending in. In addition to the ones leading to the sleeping caves of the three kings, there are also some leading to other key places.
Prison is also included.
The yellow-spotted tiger walked towards the cave entrance with an unnatural look on its face. This was its second time entering the cave.
There were two big demons guarding the cave entrance. When they saw it, they frowned and said, "Whose little demon are you? Don't you know that you can't barge into this prison?"
"I am the Yellow Spotted Tiger, my two elder brothers." It smiled flatteringly, "Two old men who refine medicine were sent in the other day. The kings value them very much. I just came back from Long Jue Ridge and have something to ask those two old men, so I wanted to go down."
"oh……"
The two big monsters glanced at it, looked at each other, nodded to each other, and felt that this monster was indeed familiar.
Moreover, it is not very powerful, so it won't cause any trouble even if it goes down.
So the two big monsters made way and let the yellow tiger pass.
The yellow tiger went down all the way, passing by many prisons holding various prisoners, and came to the innermost steel prison.
The treatment in this prison is surprisingly quite good, with beds, bedding, and toiletries all available.
In fact, it was because the kings valued these two old men who made medicine that they specially created such an environment for them. The other cells were still very simple.
In this cell, there were indeed two old men with gray hair, one was tall, thin and handsome, wearing a white robe, and the other was short, fat and plump, wearing a flowery robe. They were discussing something intensely, and they did not look like they were imprisoned by monsters at all. Instead, they seemed to be enjoying it.
When they saw the spotted tiger coming, they didn't show any reaction and continued to argue about pharmacology which the monsters couldn't understand.
The spotted tiger was also happy that they did not move, so he quietly put the bell on the ground and slowly retreated away.
Nothing seemed to have changed.
But.
boom--
Just a moment later, a roar suddenly sounded in the cave! A red rainbow suddenly fell from the sky, pierced through the top of the mountain and fell, hitting the prison of the two old men! "Earthquake?" The old man in the flowery robe panicked and hurriedly covered the paper on the table with his body.
"How is it possible?" The old man in white robe was also surprised, but he still had his sanity. He frowned and said, "It's clear that the sky has fallen."
There was indeed bright sunlight shining through their heads.
But it's not like the sky is falling.
Instead, a figure in a green Taoist robe suddenly appeared and asked in a deep voice, "Are you Changchun Sou and Xuanhu Weng?"
"We are, and you are?" The two old men looked at him in surprise.
"Time is running out, let's talk about it later. I'll rescue you two first." Li Chu said.
Just as he was about to take the two old doctors away, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the prison: "Wait!"
Then there were loud sounds of footsteps, and a group of ferocious monsters suddenly surrounded the cell!
"Hahaha... Do you think the yellow-spotted tiger will obey your orders obediently?"
A giant man with an elephant's trunk slowly walked out from the group of monsters, laughing wildly.
"You are underestimating us, the Three Kings Ridge. Who dares to deceive the three of us here? He has already reported your little evil plot to us."
Another man with a hooked nose and a pair of black wings behind him emerged from the darkness.
Finally, a monster with a green mane and a lion head appeared with overwhelming arrogance and sneered: "Haha, we have been waiting for you here for a long time. You didn't expect it..."
When its voice reached this point, it suddenly paused, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.
Perhaps it was so frightened that it forgot the lines it wanted to say and repeated them again.
“You never expected that…”
But the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally there were only two sounds left.
“Ahhh…”
"?"
