Chapter 126
This manor is only two or three miles away from the city gate, and a large number of small people have gathered at the gate.
After leaving the city gate, Cheng Hui followed the path to a manor.
This manor is only two or three miles away from the city gate, and a large number of monks have gathered at the gate.
Cheng Hui took a quick look and found that most of them were in the Foundation Establishment Stage. There were some in the Golden Core Stage, but very few. There were no higher-level ones to be seen.
The cities in the underworld are naturally dominated by ghost cultivators. Even if they were originally human, after practicing ghost cultivation techniques, most of them become neither human nor ghost.
All kinds of weird ghosts gathered together, which was really eye-catching. The other people... no, the other ghosts had already gotten used to it. Instead, the zombie Cheng Hui attracted a lot of attention because he looked too much like a human.
After arriving at this manor, Cheng Hui, under the reminder of Uncle Gui, released his zombie aura.
Some people in the manor sensed this breath and no longer paid attention to him. However, many of the ghost cultivators at the door were very curious. There was even a water ghost who came over wetly, wanting to ask him how he maintained his human form.
Cheng Hui: ...
These ghosts are all going out to carry out missions. Some of them, like Cheng Hui, have undertaken tasks for Baiweilou, while others are hired by shops to collect the raw materials they need.
The ghosts in these cities in the underworld are very mobile. No one knows whether the guy who comes to chat with everyone today will leave tomorrow, so people have become accustomed to the sudden appearance of unfamiliar faces.
Cheng Hui was the type of person who was good at dealing with people, and with the information Uncle Gui had revealed to him, he soon and unknowingly integrated into these people.
After a while, the gate of the manor opened and the crowd suddenly became agitated.
Four stewards in black robes walked out of the door. They went to four positions respectively, holding up a wooden board with the four big characters "East, South, West, and North" written on it.
"Come on, we need to find a more comfortable spot."
"I hope I'll have better luck today. The long-legged bird I rode last time had such a bad temper that it nearly ate all my hair." The speaker was a hanged ghost with a sad expression. She had shiny black hair, but unfortunately, her hair was now of different lengths, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.
Cheng Hui took a look at her hair and felt a little sympathetic. Girls pay great attention to their hairstyle, let alone a woman from ancient times. It is really difficult for a girl to go out with such a hairstyle.
Then he saw the sorrowful woman with the dog-bitten hair rolled her hair into a whip and hung up the unlucky male ghost because she heard the male ghost next to her mocking her ugly hair. The unlucky male ghost's head was strangled to pieces.
Cheng Hui: ...Sorry to bother you.
He followed the crowd and stood under the wooden board marked with the word "West". After almost everyone had stood in different teams, the four managers led everyone into the manor.
After entering, the four teams quickly separated. Cheng Hui followed the manager obediently without looking around, and soon arrived at a fairly spacious open space.
There is a row of bungalows on the open space, and some faint roars can be heard from the houses.
The manager asked them to stand in a line and the short man collected the money. Cheng Hui had exchanged enough currency at Baiweilou before and took out the black stone directly.
This kind of stone is called Yin Stone. To put it simply, it is a stone formed by compressing Yin Qi to the extreme and dividing it into fixed volumes to form Yin Stone.
This kind of Yin stone is very stable and does not emit Yin energy under normal circumstances. It will only dissolve slowly when placed in a special solution. Therefore, it is used as the general equivalent of the underworld.
Normally, ghosts cannot use Yin Stones to replenish Yin Qi, which is completely different from Ling Stones.
After collecting the Yin Stone, a smile finally appeared on the manager's expressionless face.
He waved his hand, and the door of the bungalow over there opened. One by one, long-legged birds that looked like ostriches but were three or four times larger than ostriches walked out.
Each of these long-legged birds is three or four meters tall. Their huge bodies and sharp beaks undoubtedly demonstrate their military power.
This group of long-legged birds seemed to have a bad temper. The ghost leading the way was pecked on the head by the largest long-legged bird, and even the brains flowed out.
The ghost screamed and was then dragged away by other ghosts. Cheng Hui glanced at the black-clothed manager, whose expression did not change at all. The other ghost cultivators also looked as if they were used to it.
Cheng Hui understood that this bird was very fierce and not to be trifled with.
Afterwards, other ghosts appeared, tremblingly leading the group of long-legged birds to the front of the ghosts.
The black-clad steward said slowly, "As usual, choose one yourself, and each long-legged bird will cost you three Yin stones. If it wants to eat something else along the way, it's up to you whether to give it to it or not. But I remind you, if you don't give it to it, you will bear the consequences."
Cheng Hui: …???
No, isn't it so domineering?
He glanced at the shivering ghost beside him and asked in a low voice, "We pay to ride a bird, and then we have to serve it?"
The ghost he spoke to was a young male, around sixteen or seventeen. It was hard to tell his exact age, but he seemed rather timid.
The kid swallowed hard and said, "What do you think? The Shi family's long-legged birds are so famous because they're so fierce. If they weren't fierce, how could they deter those ferocious beasts on the road? So...it depends on your luck. If you're lucky enough to get a bird with a less bad temper, it'll be easy to deal with."
Cheng Hui was speechless about this, but since he had just arrived, he had no intention of getting into trouble. He obediently followed the lead of that group of unlucky guys and picked a long-legged bird.
This group of long-legged birds have very long, pitch-black feathers, and look a bit like golden eagles, and they look very fierce.
Especially when this kind of bird stares at you straight, it always makes people feel that it will attack in the next second. Cheng Hui stared at the bird he chose for a long time, until the bird couldn't stand it anymore and turned away, then he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
The bird gave in, and he could see an evasive look in the other's eyes.
Cheng Hui was satisfied.
It turned out that working in the pet shop was not in vain. The manager never lied to me. To deal with small animals, you have to face them eye to eye. As long as you can hold on to the end, you win.
A saddle had been placed on the long-legged bird's back in advance. Although there was no reins, those who were able to go out on a mission were all people who thought they were capable and would not be stumped by a bird.
After Cheng Hui rode on it, he directly pinched the bird's neck. The unfortunate long-legged bird was stunned. It turned its head and stared at him for a long time, and finally turned back silently.
I can't afford to offend him... I feel like this guy is super fierce! I'm scared... QAQ
Having successfully won the eye contact with the long-legged bird again, Cheng Hui felt very happy and felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
Most people were able to ride on the long-legged bird smoothly, but there were still a few unlucky ones who were pecked down by the long-legged bird as soon as they got on.
Yes, peck, not flick.
The necks of these long-legged birds are very long and can rotate almost 360 degrees, so it is effortless for them to turn around and peck twice.
Their beaks were long and hard, with a faint metallic sheen. It was naturally unpleasant to be pecked by them. Cheng Hui felt pain for them just watching from afar.
He discovered that all those who were pecked down were ghost cultivators who were obviously not strong but chose the strong long-legged birds. It can be seen that the long-legged birds are quite proud and not everyone can ride them.
In contrast, those ghost cultivators in the Jindan stage were all calm and composed, and their long-legged birds were extremely obedient and did not cause any trouble at all.
The ghost cultivators who had no idea of their AC became obedient after being pecked down again, and obediently selected some of the "old, weak, sick and disabled" in the tribe, thus avoiding the tragedy of being pecked down again.
When the black-robed monk saw that everyone was riding on the bird, he took out his whistle and blew it.
The strongest bird in the long-legged bird group let out a loud call, and then all the long-legged birds responded.
The leader of the long-legged birds took the lead and ran out with a rumble, followed by the other long-legged birds. The entire flock of long-legged birds charged forward with an indomitable momentum.
Then... he crashed into the wall and ran away.
Cheng Hui: ...
Behind him came the shouting and cursing of the black-clad steward. Judging from the content of his shouting and cursing, it was obvious that this group of long-legged birds had been doing this for a long time.
He silently looked at the gate that was less than three meters away from the wall they broke through, and felt that these long-legged birds were not very smart.
Riding a long-legged bird is not a pleasant experience. This monster, known for its speed and ferocity, can make you vomit your last meal when it is jolted around.
Cheng Hui also relied on the zombies' thick skin and flesh to resist. He even saw the unlucky brother next to him vomiting his internal organs, which were scattered all over the ground, and he was desperately stuffing them back.
Cheng Hui: ...
He silently withdrew his gaze, calmed down, and stared at the butt of the long-legged bird running in front, fearing that he would see any more eye-catching scenes.
Fortunately, after rushing out of a certain area, the speed of the long-legged bird gradually slowed down. Although it still maintained a very high speed, it was not as bumpy as before.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Every time they rode the long-legged bird, it was a torture for them. However, the underworld was not a peaceful place. The dangers in the wild were quite high, and they didn't want to waste too much time on the road.
After the speed stabilized, Cheng Hui thought everything was fine, but he didn't expect that everyone else would be alert and cautious.
Although Cheng Hui was confused, he also became alert.
But after staring for a while, he found that there was no danger around at all. The long-legged bird leading the way was extremely ferocious. Whenever any wild beast encountered on the road, when it saw the flock of long-legged birds, it wished it could grow two more legs and ran away for its life, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The few slow ones he met became the bird's extra meal. He looked around but didn't feel any danger. Just when he was wondering if he had missed something, he saw a long-legged bird suddenly turn its head not far away and swallow the ghost riding on it.
Swallowed...
swallow……
Cheng Hui:!!!
Shit, why is it eating people... No, it's eating ghosts?
Just as he was horrified by the bird eating people, he heard the ghost next to him muttering, "What kind of idiot is this? He didn't even bring the wood-grained rat. Does he think that because he looks good, the long-legged bird won't eat him? Tsk tsk, what a fool!"
After saying that, he took out two palm-sized mice from the big hole in his stomach and fed them to the long-legged bird under him.
Cheng Hui: …???
Cheng Hui, danger!
