30. The Lord of One Peak, Dad 11
the next day,
The western part of the Sleeping Forest is vast, home to a wide variety of spirit beasts. Of course, only lower-level spirit beasts inhabit the outer reaches, while the interior of the forest is a terrifying and dangerous realm of death. It's said that only ancestors who have reached the Tribulation Crossing stage dare to enter the depths of the forest.
The two of them headed west along the periphery, encountering some low-level spirit beasts on the way, and occasionally encountering second or third level spirit beasts.
Cheng Ye: "We should be able to pass through the Mianyou Forest today, right?" It's been almost a month, and we are finally going to get out of the forest. Cheng Ye is a little excited.
Cao Ruixu assessed their location, nodded, and said, "It's almost there. Fortunately, we just walked around the periphery, otherwise, I don't know how long we would have to stay in this damn place." What a mistake. They really just acted on impulse at that time. They had just bought a manual for training in that small town. It contained a rough map of the Mianyou Forest, and scattered records of the boundaries and locations of the Mianyou Forest. It was obvious at a glance that the experience records of others were compiled into this booklet, and it was sold at a very high price.
Fortunately, they still remembered that they were going to visit the Centenarian List. Otherwise, with the enthusiasm they had when they first got the manual, they might have gone deeper into the forest. Impulse is the devil.
Cao Ruixu stopped and asked, "Guess what kind of spirit beast it is this time?"
Cheng Ye: "Tsk, this unpleasant smell, it must be the evil beast."
Cao Ruixu smiled: "Not necessarily, fox spirits also stink."
It has a long pointed mouth, three small, cunning eyes, brown-red fur, and a big tail like a palm-leaf fan.
Cheng Ye's expression changed. He closed his eyes with difficulty and said, "You are all wrong. It's a three-eyed red wolf, and it's at the peak of level three." This thing likes to make food stink before eating it, and it can also fart to suffocate its opponents. It's particularly weird.
Cao Ruixu's smile was a bit forced, and he bared his teeth: "Hiss, this thing should be upgraded to level four soon, be careful." The reason why he hated the three-eyed red wolf so much was because its fart could penetrate any hole and could enter your body through any of your facial features, trying to stink you to death.
Cheng Ye: "How about you come?" I don't want to fight it.
Cao Ruixu: ...I don’t want to either.
"Swoosh!" Cao Ruixu summoned his life-defining magical weapon, the Fox Eye. The Fox Eye was a long whip, its golden-red body emitting a faint, alluring crimson glow. Fine golden threads on the handle outlined a rune mark, resembling a bewitching fox eye.
Since we can't hide, let's fight quickly and decisively!
"Swoosh" the golden whip was pulled out with lightning,
It is as nimble as a snake and crackles like lightning and thunder.
"Ao" the three-eyed red wolf dodged the test with a flash, and the golden whip hit the tree trunk directly there, "bang" leaving a groove half a finger deep on the trunk.
The saliva of the three-eyed red wolf dripped onto the ground, and with a "hiss", the flowers and plants on the ground instantly withered and turned black, emitting a foul odor.
"Ugh!" Cheng Ye almost vomited on the spot because of the stench. Damn it, this thing just exhaled and it already stunk to high heaven. If it was a fart, wouldn't he be fainted by the odor?
"Damn it, Ruixu, kill it right away!"
Cao Ruixu endured the stench and whipped his horse with every blow as fast as thunder. In an instant, there was a "boom" sound all around, and dust was flying. It was the sound of a tree being cut in half.
Cheng Ye couldn't help but throw a talisman over. The talisman turned into white light and tied up the three-eyed red wolf, but it broke free in an instant.
"Snap" Cao Ruixu's golden whip rolled up the tree trunk on the ground, and whipped directly towards the three-eyed red wolf with great power. Unfortunately, it dodged it again. The speed of the three-eyed red wolf was also famous. It was behind Cao Ruixu in the blink of an eye. The hair on Cao Ruixu's back stood up. He rolled over to avoid the wolf claws attacking his back and swallowed hard. Damn it, if he hadn't dodged quickly, this claw would have killed him to the bone.
Cao Ruixu couldn't help but let out a low cry of "Hah" and swung it with all his might.
"Ah!" the three-eyed red wolf screamed and was thrown to the ground with a "bang," never to move again.
The two "evil" men vomited all over the place, each got on a flying sword, and flew away at the fastest speed in their lives.
As soon as they reached the edge of the forest, they each smelled the stench on the other and moved away from each other in disgust.
Cao Ruixu: "Fuck, it stinks, stay away from me."
Cheng Ye couldn't believe it: "You dare to say I stink? No matter what, you stink more."
"Anyway, stay away from me..."
"Please have some self-awareness..."
The two of them finally found a source of water, rubbed it thoroughly from head to toe, and appeared in a small town called Yunya Town feeling refreshed.
Yunya Town lies on the western border of Mianyou Forest, bordering both the forest and the waters of Fanzhou Island. It's a must-go point for those heading to Chongjun Continent. The area experiences a high level of population turnover, with those training in Mianyou Forest often seeking resources. However, the town isn't particularly populated, as its proximity to Mianyou Forest creates a high risk of disaster.
Two fair-skinned boys appeared at the street entrance in the North District. There were neatly arranged small shops on both sides of the street, most of which were two or three stories high. The main street was relatively wide, but it was winding.
The streets are winding, with small streets crisscrossing each other. People are coming and going on the streets. Occasionally, one or two small groups wearing the same clothes will pass by, or they will choose what they need from the stalls, or bargain with the stall owners...
Cheng Ye glanced at the shop next to them. It had a vermilion wooden door, blue-gray bricks and tiles, and two thick pillars at the entrance. The two pillars were exactly the same size, looking neat and rigorous.
Cao Ruixu grabbed Cheng Ye and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first." Then he pulled Cheng Ye into the restaurant next door.
There were quite a few people in the restaurant, it was almost full, drinking, making noise, eating and discussing things, it was very lively.
The waiter took one look at the fine clothes the two men were wearing and asked with a smile, "Would you two sirs like to have dinner on the first floor, the second floor, or in a private room?"
Cheng Ye said very generously: "A private room." Anyway, it's not me who pays for the spirit stones.
Cao Ruixu: ...
The child's smile deepened: "Okay, both of you please follow me."
The two followed the waiter up to the second floor. The atmosphere on the second floor was relatively quiet, without the loud noise like on the first floor. However, it was noisy nonetheless, after all, there were people talking and discussing things in the hall.
As soon as I entered the private room, it was immediately quiet. It seemed that the soundproofing of the room was good. The room was very clean, and there was a potted wind spirit flower in the corner, emitting a light floral fragrance, which made people relax immediately.
As soon as it was quiet, Cheng Ye wanted to eat something and asked, "Waiter, what are your special dishes? Tell me about them."
Waiter: "Sir, our dishes are the Three Pine Spiritual Water Fish, Roasted Elk Meat, and Braised Honey Ribs... These are all very popular dishes and must-orders for our regular customers."
Cheng Ye waved his hand and said, "Give me one portion of each."
Wait until the waiter leaves.
Cao Ruixu finally couldn't help but said: "Can you finish all this?" Don't you want spirit stones? Don't you think it's a waste to spend hundreds of spirit stones on a meal?
Cheng Ye: "I can eat a whole bear now, and besides, there's you. You will definitely eat more than me."
Cao Rui choked. He did have a big appetite, and he couldn't refute that.
No wonder the restaurant had so many customers; the food was quite good. Perhaps they hadn't had a proper meal in nearly a month, so they devoured the entire table without restraint, slumping back in their chairs and burping.
"Comfortable!" Cheng Ye exclaimed. It was so comfortable. Finally, he didn't have to eat barbecue.
When the waiter brought tea again, Cao Ruixu called him over.
"Waiter, what strange things are happening here? Tell me about it.
"This town is in such a unique location, with so many people coming and going, there must be a lot of strange stories and happenings."
Waiter: "Oh, sir, you've asked the right person. I'm an old friend here, and I've heard a lot. There was one recently in the East District Farm District."
Is there really such a thing? When they first entered the town, they saw a group of people gathered together discussing some kind of demonic cultivation. The two of them looked at each other, and Cao Rui said, "Oh, then tell us about it."
"I heard it was a demon cultivator," the waiter said with fear, "the first incident happened just two months ago. The victim was a girl from a farm family. She was tied to a pillar in the middle of the night and her tongue was hooked. She was not discovered until the next day. I heard that the girl was about to get married, so after the incident, her husband's family naturally didn't want to accept her and broke off the engagement on the spot." He shook his head regretfully as he spoke.
"That's not all. Within a month, there were more than a dozen tragic incidents of young girls being seduced, causing panic in the town."
Cheng Ye was puzzled: "Aren't there any monks to exorcise the demon?" There should be quite a few monks passing by here, right?
The waiter sighed, "Of course not! Some immortal masters volunteered to capture the demon, but they either died, were seriously injured, or had their tongues hooked out. None of them had a good ending. Word gradually spread, and even the immortal masters were reluctant to go... They were just hoping that a higher-level immortal master would be able to subdue the demon."
"The immortal master who escaped from the devil's clutches wrote down what he saw and heard after returning. It was then revealed that the devil was a demon cultivator, skilled in concealment, appearing and disappearing without a trace. They were defeated before they even had a clear look at the devil's appearance."
Cao Ruixu: "Are all the victims young girls?"
Waiter: "That's right, and they are all pretty young girls. Nowadays, girls with a little bit of beauty in this town dare not go out, for fear of being spotted and having their tongues pulled out."
Cao Ruixu waved his hand to let the waiter go. The waiter nodded and bowed as he left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "Although the devil usually strikes at night, it's still quite dangerous during the day. Maybe the devil will hide in the dark and choose his targets."
So what? The two looked at each other, confused.
The waiter looked at Cheng Ye and said, "So, this little immortal master had better find a place to stay as soon as possible and don't go out casually. Leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning." After saying that, he nodded at the two of them, closed the door and left.
Cheng Ye: ...
Cao Ruixu: ...
Cheng Ye: "...What does he mean?"
Cao Ruixu: “Pfft” Hahahaha…
He fucking said I'm a woman, right? Right? Is he blind? ! ! Are women as majestic and powerful as me?
"Hahahaha... I'm sorry, I really can't help it, hahahaha..."
