Chapter 10: Thousand-year-old demon
In the world of yin and yang, the air is gloomy, the wind is cold, and there are many ghosts.
Chen Jiu and the wolf demon were rushing westward when a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
These are not scary ghosts, but black mountains transformed by negative energy.
Chen Jiu just took a quick glance and stopped with a serious expression on his face.
The wolf demon walked forward several steps, then turned back in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you standing there?"
This guy, this brain.
Chen Jiu was helpless and explained in a low voice: "There are black mountains ahead. Those slightly raised black spots on the mountains are probably all ghosts. If we rush in, won't we be courting death?"
Upon hearing this, the wolf demon raised his head and took a closer look.
Its eyesight is actually better than Chen Jiu's, especially at night, it can see much farther than Chen Jiu.
When it saw this, it was so frightened that it cried out: "Oh my God, there are so many ghosts on the mountain ahead!"
Hey, don't scream so loudly!
Chen Jiu quickly pinched its mouth and dragged it back to a small mound they had just passed. He lay on it and carefully looked at the dark hilltop.
Fortunately, the ghosts above seemed to be busy absorbing Yin energy to practice, and no dark shadows came to deal with them.
What should I do now?
He absorbed several evil ghosts and demons along the way and tasted a lot of sweetness, but facing the dense ghost shadows in front of him, he was not reckless enough to rush in regardless of everything.
If there were one or two ghost kings inside, rushing in would be tantamount to seeking death.
The problem is that there is a mountain range in front of them and they have no way to get around it.
As for turning back to look for the lone evil ghosts, he didn't dare to do it, because they had only run twenty or thirty miles in the middle of the night. If people from Jimo Yinsi and Langya Wang Clan were chasing them, turning back would be no different from seeking death.
How to do it?
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "Lao Ding, will these ghosts return to the underworld before dawn?"
Honghuang Shending estimated: "The ghosts in the underworld are too yin, and most of them can't stand the scorching sun. Before dawn, most of them will return to the underworld to hide. Even if they are not afraid of the scorching sun, they are probably worried about being cleared out by the spiritual officials in the world of the living and the gods in the underworld, so there should be few left."
Let’s wait until dawn.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Let's rest here. Brother Wang, if you are tired, take a nap first."
Upon hearing this, the Second Wolf Demon King curled up into a ball without hesitation and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Jiu lay there, looking around vigilantly.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to practice the guiding technique, because there were too many ghosts and monsters in the new domain. If he practiced, the faint silver light would probably attract a lot of curious ghosts and monsters.
Since he was free anyway, he simply communicated with his spiritual sense: "Lao Ding, why don't you tell me about the types of ghosts in the underworld, especially the powerful ones. Tell me in detail so that I can hide quickly if I encounter them."
Honghuang Shending murmured, "I have heard Qian talk about this with others. There are many kinds of ghosts in the underworld, but there are probably only about twenty common ones.
Some of these ghosts actually have no intention of harming people, and you will be fine as long as you don't provoke them, such as foolish ghosts, vengeful ghosts, money ghosts, debt ghosts, big-headed ghosts, powerful ghosts, etc.
Some ghosts cannot , otherwise you will suffer bad luck, such as the dead ghost, earth ghost, belly ghost, hanging boots ghost, child ghost and so on.
There are also wild ghosts, house ghosts, hanged ghosts, and examination ghosts. It depends on the original nature of the person. It is difficult to determine whether they are good or evil.
These are all fine, they basically won't take the initiative to harm others.
In addition to fierce ghosts and evil ghosts, there are also zombies, water ghosts, hairy ghosts, vengeful ghosts, lackeys, smelly ghosts, headless ghosts, etc., which are ghosts that really want to harm people.
The scariest of them all is the headless ghost. You’ve heard of Xing Tian, right? That’s the headless ghost.”
So many varieties!
Chen Jiu was just about to ask Honghuang Shending to introduce the general characteristics of other ghosts that harm people, when suddenly a dense sound of breaking through the air came from above his head.
He looked up and was stunned.
A black swarm of bats suddenly flew in the sky!
If they were bats the size of a normal palm, he would naturally not be able to see them in such a gloomy night. The problem was that he could clearly see the huge wings of these bats.
If you can see the huge wings from such a far distance, then the wings of these bats must be at least several meters wide when spread out!
"What kind of monster is that flying in the sky? A ghost bat?"
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask the Honghuang Divine Cauldron a question using his spiritual sense.
Unexpectedly, Honghuang Shending directly replied: "I don't know, I have never heard of this kind of monster."
There are monsters in the underworld that even your uncle Ding has never heard of. Haven’t you been in the underworld for thousands of years?
"superior!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard in the sky, and then the bats in the sky folded their wings in an orderly manner, turning into the shape of giant arrows and rushing towards the black mountains below.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" a series of violent sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and those giant bats actually shot down like arrows!
Do you want to die together?
How great is the hatred?
Chen Jiu was confused.
"Boom boom boom", a loud crash sounded, followed by wings fluttering everywhere and endless screams.
What kind of monster is this?
Even a body of steel would probably fall apart if it was shot down from the sky at such a fast speed, right?
These ghost bats are actually fine!
Chen Jiu was dumbfounded.
Not long after, the sounds of fighting and screaming in the Black Mountain gradually subsided.
"Those who haven't smoked enough, spread out and search. Those who have smoked enough, quickly follow me back to report."
Following a strange cry, at least a thousand giant bats flapped their wings and flew towards the northeast. The remaining hundreds of bats flew up and down close to the Black Mountain and scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these monsters did not discover him. If thousands of such monsters had shot down like arrows, he would have been shot into meat paste.
However, soon, a hint of fear appeared on his face.
Because a huge bat had already flown out of the Black Mountain and was flying straight towards him.
It was obvious that he had been discovered when he was in heaven.
This is big trouble!
The other person has wings, he definitely can't outrun him, so he can only fight.
He was stunned for just a moment, then he decisively picked up the sleeping wolf demon and ran down the hill quickly.
"Old Ding, you've absorbed so much energy and blood, it should be okay to use you to hit the monster a few times, right?"
Are you using me as a weapon?
Honghuang Shending said helplessly: "Take it easy, don't go crazy and beat me to death like last time."
"good."
Chen Jiu nodded solemnly and said, "You come out first and transform into a figure about five meters tall."
After saying that, he threw the wolf demon behind him, then suppressed the urge to roar like a tiger, transformed into the phantom of the tiger god, picked up the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, and stood there silently waiting.
After his spiritual awareness was enhanced, the side effects of the Tiger Demon Fist were indeed alleviated a lot. At least his mind was still clear at this moment.
Soon, huge bats were swooping down over the hills.
This guy was also shocked .
It was obvious that Chen Jiu was ambushing him.
The problem is that it simply cannot stop its dive over such a short distance.
It could only lower its head and shrink its neck, revealing its arrow-like helmet, then tighten its shoulders and rush straight towards Chen Jiu.
What a clever design.
When this guy shrank like this, his entire body, including his helmet and wings, seemed to have merged together and turned into a huge arrow!
Chen Jiu was not vague either. He picked up the Honghuang Divine Cauldron and swung it with a hammer.
With a loud bang, the giant bat's head, shoulders, arms and other parts were all smashed into the ground.
Of course Chen Jiu wouldn't hit the tip of the helmet, he just hit the back of the person's head hard.
The effect was very good. At least the ghost bat could not see anything and could not fight back at all.
Chen Jiu was also not vague. He swung the Honghuang Divine Cauldron and smashed it down madly like he was forging iron.
"Bang", "bang", "bang", I don't know how many times it hit. At the beginning, the ghost bat's huge wings were still flapping wildly. When half of its wings were smashed into the soil, this guy finally stopped flapping.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu put away the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, ran over, grabbed the ghost bat's leg and swung it up.
With a "bang", the ghost bat was thrown to the ground with its arms and legs spread out.
He lowered his head and took a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised again.
The body of this ghost bat is surprisingly similar to that of an ordinary human being. Not only does it have hands and feet, but even its ears, nose, mouth, and eyes are the same.
However, the body of this ghost bat is much taller than that of an ordinary person, and it is covered with round plate armor that protects its entire body.
What kind of monster is this?
He couldn't help but squat down and tapped on the ghost bat's breastplate with his fingers.
This thing looks like gold but isn't, and like wood but isn't. It's not only very hard, but also slightly elastic. No wonder these ghost bats didn't fall apart after flying down from high altitudes.
He was just wondering what the armor was made of when the ghost bat suddenly trembled and opened his eyes abruptly.
Shit, he didn’t die even after being hit like that!
While Chen Jiu was stunned, the ghost bat was struggling to sit up.
He rushed forward, held the ghost bat's shoulders, aimed at its mouth and nose, and sucked in deeply.
If you can't kill me by smashing me, I'll suck you to death!
After taking this bite, his energy and spirit instantly soared. The energy and spirit of this ghost bat were actually much stronger than those of an evil ghost!
He was secretly intoxicated for a while, and just as he was about to loosen his hands and stand up, the ghost bat started struggling again.
Oh My God!
What kind of monster is this?
After using the sperm-eating technique, this guy not only did not turn into a dried-up skin bag, he even had the strength to struggle!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How come this guy is fine?"
"Let me go, you beast!"
The ghost bat actually spoke, and his voice was quite clear.
Is this still a female?
Well, the person was wearing a helmet, so he couldn’t see the whole picture, and he didn’t pay attention to distinguish between male and female.
However, this ghost bat does look quite delicate.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu subconsciously loosened his hands.
With a "slap", he was slapped hard in the face.
This time, half of his teeth were almost knocked out.
Damn, this guy's palms are like iron, so hard!
He pressed Ghost Bat's hands to the ground and said angrily, "Are you sick? I let go of my hands, but you still hit me!"
The ghost bat glanced at him, then suddenly moved its face closer, mouth to mouth, as if it wanted to do something.
Shit, this guy also knows how to eat semen!
Chen Jiu quickly turned his head.
With a "bang", the ghost bat was so angry that he hit him with the head.
Oh my goodness, why is this guy’s head so hard!
Chen Jiu was so angry that he shouted: "If you do this again, I will be rude to you!"
The ghost bat was so angry that he shouted: "What can you do to me? My body is invulnerable!"
This is indeed a bit troublesome.
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said viciously: "I can knock you unconscious, and then pull hard to tear off your wings, arms, and legs, leaving you with nothing but a bare pole!"
Unexpectedly, the ghost bat cried out: "You beasts, you torture me like this even though you've become a ghost. Anyway, if I don't absorb enough blood and souls to report back, I will be annihilated. Come on, let's see how you can bullshit!"
What is all this?
Chen Jiu was confused.
Could this be a ghost bat baby that has just grown up?
He let go of her hand awkwardly, stood up carefully, and said helplessly: "I am not the villain you think I am, it was you who took the initiative to fly over here and want to kill me, okay?
How about this, I'll ask you a few questions, and as long as you answer them honestly, I'll let you go."
The ghost bat cried for a while, then choked up and said, "What do you want to ask?"
There is a question I really want to know.
Chen Jiu blurted out: "What kind of monster are you?"
The ghost bat sobbed again, "I'm not a monster. I was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the world of the living. It's just that I was treated like a beast by you, wuwuwuwu."
Oh my god, I'm not a beast, okay?
Besides, your whole body is as hard as iron, what can I do?
Hey, don’t keep crying!
Chen Jiu tried to speak gently: "What's your name, and how did you become like this?"
The ghost bat choked up and said, "My name is Fu Qingfeng. Because I died so tragically and held a lot of resentment, my soul was chosen by my grandmother and sealed into the body of this bat soldier. That's why I became like this."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of monster is grandma?"
Fu Qingfeng continued to sob, "My grandmother was originally a peach tree spirit who had practiced for thousands of years. When she was alive, she had the strength of a demon king. After her death, she took refuge with a powerful ghost fairy. That's why she could unscrupulously refine bat soldiers in the underworld and absorb qi, blood, and souls for cultivation."
It turns out to be a thousand-year-old monster!
This guy had the strength of a demon king when he was alive, and after his death he unscrupulously absorbed blood and souls in the underworld to practice. How powerful is that?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he heard this.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "What is this bat soldier's body?"
Fu Qingfeng continued to choke up and said, "The bat soldier's body is a puppet made by grandma using her own fruit. As long as the ghost is sealed in, it can exert a strength that exceeds that of a ghost general. A normal ghost king can be beaten ."
So scary!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown and asked, "How many bat soldiers did your grandma refine?"
Fu Qingfeng recalled: "Probably around two thousand, I haven't counted them carefully."
Oh my god, so many!
How can we escape if we are surrounded by these bat soldiers?
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Will you come out during the day to absorb blood and soul? "
Fu Qingfeng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know about this. Grandma just brought us to this Yin and Yang world not long ago. She didn't tell us what to do during the day."
What should I do?
Even though he had the divine tripod in his hand, he couldn't withstand the attack from a few bat soldiers, let alone hundreds of them!
Moreover, he can fly in the sky. Once he is discovered, he will not be able to escape.
Chen Jiu looked up at the dark sky and asked, "Where exactly is your grandma?"
Fu Qingfeng estimated: "In the northeast direction, about thirty miles away from here, there are two black mountains that are hundreds of feet high. Grandma is in the valley between the two black mountains."
Okay, then try to escape to the southwest.
Chen Jiu looked at Fu Qingfeng on the ground, and then asked solemnly: "Are the other bat soldiers like you, just full of resentment?"
Fu Qingfeng said without hesitation: "There are not many bat soldiers like me. Most of the other bat soldiers are very violent and cruel."
Oh, this is really a big trouble.
Chen Jiu sighed and said, "If I let you go, you won't call other bat soldiers to beat me up, right?"
Fu Qingfeng said quietly: "I am not a bad person, why would I want to harm you? Besides, I don't know if I can survive tonight."
Okay, I'll believe you this time.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "I'm not a bad person. If you answer my questions, I will let you go. Go now."
Fu Qingfeng looked at him deeply, then struggled to get up from the ground, spread his wings, and jumped into the sky.
Chen Jiu looked at Fu Qingfeng's receding back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
There is another group of bat soldiers in the sky. How can we escape?
