Chapter 652 Ji Yang's Escape
Abyss beast realm.
Just thirty years.
On the Shenmu Plain, a tree demon became famous.
Many demon tribes only knew that this person was a spirit that had cultivated into a human form. They sensed this from his demonic power, but there was no conclusion as to what kind of spirit he was, because no one had ever seen his true form.
In other words, everyone who saw it was dead.
What made this tree demon famous was that during the fight for the essence of the sacred tree, the tree demon suddenly appeared and defeated several powerful races in succession, seizing the essence of the sacred tree and becoming completely famous in the Sacred Tree Plain.
But at the same time, after snatching the essence of the sacred tree from these powerful races, this mysterious tree demon was also wanted by these races.
The entire Shenmu Plain is now discussing the origin and identity of this tree demon, and they are even more eager to find the tree demon, because the rewards offered by the major races for wanted lists are very high, enough to attract some demon generals.
…
…
"Yangyang, are we going to stay here forever?"
Deep in a dark forest, the elf was lying on the leaves of a green vine, feeling extremely bored.
"Or do you want to go out and die? Do you know how many people outside want to know our whereabouts? As long as you go out and shout, 'My little flower fairy Coco is here,' hundreds of people will come immediately."
Ji Yang's words made the little flower fairy tremble slightly. During the time she followed Ji Yang, she did see many powerful monsters chasing them, but they were all killed by Ji Yang in the end.
In the past, she could only look up to those powerful monsters, and even a single sniff from them could take her life.
But now these monsters have all died at Ji Yang's hands. Even if she is ignorant, she can't help but ask: "Ji Yang, are you a special race?"
How could Green Ivy be so powerful? "You guessed correctly. I am indeed a special race. I am from the Sky-Swallowing Green Ivy clan, and my ancestors were powerful beings of the demon clan."
"It's so amazing, why haven't I heard of it?"
"What do you know, little flower fairy? Besides, my clan has extremely few people because their talents are too extraordinary. They have to suffer thunder punishment on their way to growth. Many of them were not able to withstand the thunder punishment and turned to ashes."
Ji Yang was talking nonsense casually. Although the little flower fairy didn't need to explain to her with her IQ, the reason why he said so much was to prevent the little flower fairy from being captured by someone one day. If the other party interrogated her, they would get wrong answers from the little flower fairy.
The purpose of doing this is to conceal his talent of being able to devour other people's demonic power and transform it into his own cultivation.
When he first came to the demon tribe market, he went to the library and bought a few jade slips introducing the demon tribe. Among the tens of thousands of demon races recorded on them, none of them matched his.
There are a few races that can absorb the demonic power of other monsters, but they are all subject to restrictions. They cannot absorb it unlimitedly like himself. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a demon king for him to absorb now, it will only take him a few years to directly cross the demon general realm and enter the demon king realm, which is equivalent to a powerful human being.
Now he has reached the peak of the transformation realm, and the next step is to become a demon general.
Unfortunately, there are too few monsters in this forest, and some of them are of lower realms. Even if he absorbs all the monsters in the forest, including the spirits, it will be difficult for him to become a demon general.
But now there are wanted warrants for him everywhere, and many demon generals have been dispatched. If he goes out like this, he will probably be hunted down by the demon generals.
If there is only one demon, he is sure to escape, but if there are multiple demons, there will be no way he can escape.
But if I stay in this forest forever, I’m afraid I’ll be found by these monsters sooner or later.
The wanted rewards offered by the major demon tribes were so tempting that even he himself was tempted. He thought of using himself to collect the reward. He knew without even going out that people outside were probably digging the ground three feet deep to find him.
We must leave the Shenmu Plain. We cannot come back until we have entered the realm of Demon King. Those major families all have powerful Demon Kings in charge.
Fortunately, he had made preparations long before trying to snatch the essence of the sacred tree. He spent a large sum of money in the market to buy a magic spell that could be practiced by spirits.
This set of techniques can change the evil spirit in the body, and he has been practicing this technique in this forest during this period of time.
Sometimes, even Ji Yang himself felt a little curious. There would always be some extra ideas in his mind, such as knowing that one should silence the witnesses before killing people and looting goods, and being prepared for failure in advance when doing everything.
These seemed to be deeply ingrained in his bones; he had understood these principles since he was born.
He even felt that he might really be a descendant of some powerful race, and that this was the memory of their race engraved in their blood.
A quarter of an hour later.
The vines on Ji Yang's body kept retracting and gathered into a ball. The little flower fairy Coco flew aside curiously, watching the changes in Ji Yang's body.
These vines began to transform into bones and flesh, and finally, they turned into a huge black pig.
“Ugly...ugly.” The little flower fairy Coco flapped her transparent wings with a look of disgust on her face.
The black pig snorted lightly, and a cloud of black mist spewed out of its mouth, quickly enveloping the black pig. After the black mist dissipated, a fat man with dark skin appeared on the scene.
"Yangyang, you look so ugly like this."
"Judge a thing by its cover."
Ji Yang raised his hand and caught the little flower fairy in his palm. He hit the little flower fairy on the head. The little flower fairy was in so much pain that tears came out. She hugged Ji Yang's fingers and started to bite them.
It’s a pity that Ji Yang’s skin was rough and his flesh was dry, so the little flower fairy couldn’t even leave a tooth mark.
Without teasing the little flower fairy any more, Ji Yang began to stride out of the forest.
…
…
"There is a monster."
Not long after leaving the forest, Ji Yang sensed several evil spirits. His face immediately turned serious and he quickly headed towards where the evil spirits were.
On a hillside, two young men and a young girl suddenly stopped and stood there shivering.
"Senior..."
"I'm asking you, have you ever seen a white-faced man? If you dare to hide anything, I'll keep you in a strange place."
“No…no.”
A young man stammered, "Senior, you are asking about the tree demon, right? I and my friends are here to search for that tree demon, but we haven't found any clues about it yet."
"Is this true?"
"I would never dare to deceive my seniors."
"I don't think you dare. Take this thing. If you find the whereabouts of the tree demon, crush it immediately."
Ji Yang threw a communication stone to the other party. He bought it from the market. Once it was crushed, it could be sensed within a hundred miles.
"Yes... I will definitely do as you say."
Under the respectful gazes of the three transformed monsters, Ji Yang left quickly. He did the same thing whenever he met someone who was weaker than him.
At the same time, Ji Yang also learned about the current situation of Shenmu Plain from these monsters.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A total of twelve demon generals took action and blocked the direction in which he had escaped, setting up a dragnet. Ji Yang was glad that he did not force his way in, otherwise he would have been in danger as soon as he showed his head.
On this day, Ji Yang had just killed two monsters and left for a short while when a terrifying aura attacked him.
At that moment, Ji Yang wondered if his identity had been exposed and he ran for his life immediately, but in the end he chose to stand firmly where he was. His expression was as terrified as those monsters he had endangered before.
"Humph, a transformed monster is really brave."
The person who came was a middle-aged man, and his exposed arm was covered with a layer of green scales.
"Senior...Senior, I don't understand what you mean?"
"That tree demon kid is not someone you can covet. I'll give you one day to get out of Shenmu Plain. If I find you still in Shenmu Plain, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes... yes, I will leave now. I promise to leave immediately."
Ji Yang nodded hurriedly, but his heart was filled with joy. He had deliberately gone to ask those low-level monsters just to conceal his identity and not arouse suspicion, but he did not expect to get an unexpected surprise.
"Senior, if there are any seniors outside who try to stop me..."
"Why, do you still want me to take you away?"
"Of course I don't dare. But if there are any seniors outside trying to stop me, I can... I can also tell them their names."
The man sneered, but finally spoke: "I am the Yellow Wind Demon General."
"So it's Senior Huang Feng. I've heard of your great name for a long time. I'll leave now."
Ji Yang stood in awe, and then quickly headed towards the outer area.
In the outer area of Shenmu Plain, just as Ji Yang was about to step out, a figure appeared in front of him.
Another demon general.
"Shenmu Plain, you can only enter but not leave!"
"Senior...Senior, I don't want to leave Shenmu Plain either. Was it Senior Huang Feng who ordered me to leave Shenmu Plain?" Ji Yang looked helpless.
"Yellow Wind?"
"Yes, it's my fault for being greedy."
Ji Yang told the man the truth about the situation. The man had a strange expression on his face. Even if it was a small shapeshifting monster, even if it was at the peak of its transformation, it would still be a shapeshifting monster if it hadn't reached the level of a demon general. It actually dared to covet the tree monster.
After those major demon tribes offered the bounty, there were already more than a dozen demon generals in Shenmu Plain, and more were coming. The rewards offered by these major demon tribes made these demon generals very tempted.
"Just wait."
The man's figure disappeared on the spot. Ji Yang stood there motionless, and did not dare to escape at this time. The gap between the transformed person and the demon general was still too big.
After a dozen breaths, the man appeared again.
"Let's go."
Obviously, the man has verified what Ji Yang said.
"Thank you for letting me go, senior."
After leaving Shenmu Plain, Ji Yang walked at a moderate pace, and it took three days for his tense nerves to relax.
"These six demon tribes are really something. They just killed a few of their tribesmen, and they were only in the transformation stage. Is it necessary to be so relentless?"
Ji Yang couldn't help but complain. Although those transformed monsters sounded like the sons of the clan leader or the geniuses of the clan...but in his opinion, they were just bragging. How could there be such a weak son of the clan leader or genius? This was also the reason why he not only snatched the essence of the sacred tree, but also killed it.
Of course, if he were given another chance, he would still kill the person, but he would flee to the Shenmu Plain as soon as possible after leaving, instead of being almost killed like he is now.
"Yangyang, where are we going now?"
The little flower fairy who had been lying on Ji Yang's chest asked crisply.
"Go to Dream Swamp."
Ji Yang had already thought of a place to go. He was a tree monster, and the environment of the Dream Swamp was not suitable for the survival of plant monsters. Those powerful monsters who wanted to capture him would never think that he would go to the Dream Swamp.
As for him, since he can devour the demonic power of monsters, he does not need to practice like ordinary plant spirits. He can also be a hunter in the Dream Swamp and hunt other monsters to improve his strength.
