The water of Pujiang River returned to calm again, but the giant python that had been cut in half by the evil knife was still alive after blocking the bullet and falling from a high altitude. It was still struggling in the river half-dead, occasionally flapping its wings.
After being disturbed several times while holding his child, Zhou Yanzhi finally used the power of the contract to pull the Golden Crow out of the formation and released it.
The Golden Crow flew over and quickly found out that the thing was forcibly created by someone using the demon bead powder.
"It's a green water python." Zhou Yanzhi communicated with Jinwu through the contract. "It's a product of the South American forests, non-venomous. Someone must have brought snake eggs or young green water pythons into the country.
This type of python doesn't have the genes to become a dragon, but they have the innate ability to lurk in water. As long as they're in the water and aren't attacking, they can hide well. The demon bead powder must have activated their natural talent, which is why you didn't notice their presence immediately.
Xiao Yu: I see.
"So what should we do now? It's so big, even if it sinks to the bottom of the river, it won't be good if someone finds it."
"Give the first half to the Golden Crow, the second half to the monsters, and throw the bones to the riverside as an explanation for tonight's events."
“…”
☆
At five o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu returned to the formation.
At this time, the demon corpse had shrunk by half, just like an expanded object, which returned to its original shape after expelling the internal gas.
Perhaps due to the medicinal mist, the remaining consciousness in the demon corpses regained consciousness. He didn't know how the gourd tripod had tricked them, but these consciousnesses actually wanted to stay and serve as Xiao Yu's spirit puppets, observing the future development of the demon race.
Xiao Yu really didn't want to keep a 'pet' at all, but facing the still towering demon corpse, he had no choice but to agree.
Following his agreement, a group of demon spirits scrambled to escape from the demon corpse and take up residence in a golden-purple gourd seed provided by the gourd cauldron. It was said that this was the younger brother of the Purple Gold Gourd, and the energy contained within it was half the power of the immortal vine that gave birth to the Purple Gold Gourd.
"If you can grow it, each of the gourds produced from this gourd seed can house a demon spirit. No, each gourd will be a gourd with a sentient being."
Xiao Yu: ...
So, after all this, was he just being overly sentimental? Was this Gourd Tripod's plan from the beginning to use his name to mess around?
"Why a younger brother? Aren't you an only child? Even if your children aren't sons, they should be nephews or nieces, right?"
Hulu Ding: "This is my half-brother, a different breed."
Xiao Yu-_-||: ...Okay, this gourd tripod is just like the Monkey King who went to the Silver Horn King to brag about his own stuff, and not a single word he said was honest.
☆
After the demon spirit was put into the gourd seeds with purifying properties, the remaining demon corpse was just a pool of dead matter. Even if it still had some strength, it had already begun to decompose automatically.
It is impossible to pose any major threat to the Demon City like before.
In fact, according to Hulu Ding, if these demon corpses had not been sacrificed by the old fox, they would contain too much negative energy such as resentment and hostility.
If you compost it and make it into fertilizer, you can definitely grow a large number of spiritual plants.
"What a pity. There are so many demon corpses. If they could be used as fertilizer for my brothers and sisters, they would sprout faster." Hulu Ding muttered.
Xiao Yu felt embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly used the power of the contract to throw him back into his spiritual space. He was afraid that if he let this guy talk for a while longer, the remaining spiritual fragments in the demon corpse would be angered and revived.
☆
Maybe it's because the closer it gets to the final moment, the more cautious we become.
Xiao Yu suddenly heard the ancient bells supporting the formation, chanting louder and more intensely than before. The formation barrier above his head seemed to thicken in an instant.
Zhou Yanzhi was suspended in the air, also looking alert.
As for the situation inside the formation, it was left to Jinwu and Xiao Honglian to deal with separately.
The Golden Crow is responsible for burning away all the negative auras floating in the air, while the Little Red Lotus is responsible for quickly absorbing the karma of this demon corpse.
As the golden sun's scorching energy spread, the space centered on the Golden Crow, previously pitch black due to ghostly, demonic, and hostile auras, gradually began to light up. As the negative auras of ghostly, demonic, and other negative auras within the formation vanished, the remaining demon corpses quickly vanished under the purification power of the Golden Crow's scorching sun.
When only bones were left, Xiao Honglian went over and lit the last fire.
The function of karmic fire is to burn everything in the world. After the karmic fire is burned out, there will be no trace of the monsters in this world except for the monsters living in the gourd seeds.
When the karmic fire burned the demon bones, Taoist Luo, who had sensed the situation early on, brought a group of Taoists and monks, and sat cross-legged on the side, earnestly chanting the mantras for salvation and rebirth.
The monsters also stood by in silence, watching the last trace of ashes of the monster corpse disappear.
"There's one more thing I need your help with." Xiao Yu spoke, breaking the silence of the monsters.
The monsters raised their heads and looked at the human floating in the air. This human could make them transform. He was the owner of the gourd tripod and also the owner of the karmic fire.
Most importantly, they felt that this human was particularly clean, without the mixed smell of many humans they often saw.
☆
"This..." Xiao Yu threw out a giant python corpse wrapped in a huge bubble of water and some fish that had drunk the snake's blood. The python's head was gone, but the remaining trunk was still enormous. "These are the thugs sent by the person behind the old fox. These fish drank its blood. Take a look and see if they are any use to you. Just leave the bones."
