Chapter 11: No Way to Heaven and No Door to Earth
The moon gradually sank to the west, and it became darker and darker in the new area. The shadows of the mountains in the distance became a little blurry, but Chen Jiu was still lying on the hill without moving.
There was no way. Although the ghosts and monsters in the Black Mountain group had been almost cleared out, the remaining hundred or so bat soldiers were still fluttering around inside. He didn't dare to run in and seek death.
The darkness before dawn is always so unbearable. After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared in the sky. The thick yin energy began to sink and slowly disappeared into the Black Mountain.
The sky gradually became clear, and the ghosts had nowhere to hide. A hundred or so bat soldiers flapped their huge wings, surrounded the last few ghosts, and finally flew into the sky together, flying straight to the northeast.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This group of bat soldiers finally left. I hope that old goblin will be quiet during the day.
He was about to call the wolf demon to flee to the southwest when he suddenly felt a familiar wave behind him.
This is the fluctuation of earth spiritual energy!
Can't be so unlucky?
He suddenly looked back and saw the figure he least wanted to see.
The fiery red official robe, the spiritual official of Wang Clan of Langya!
The spiritual officer seemed to be frightened when he saw him suddenly turn around. The two looked at each other, and then the guy suddenly disappeared into the ground.
This is really a big trouble, there is not just one spiritual official chasing us, but a bunch of them!
what to do?
He can evade the earth, and his speed seems to be faster than those bat soldiers!
This time he really had no way out.
To heaven and earth!
Chen Jiu suddenly said cleverly: "Lao Ding, can't you go to heaven and earth? You have absorbed so much blood and energy this night, you can finally use it, right?"
Uh, this.
Honghuang Shending said awkwardly: "That was my prime time. My injuries haven't fully healed yet. It's impossible for me to go up to the sky, but I can barely go down to the ground."
I just want you to go into the ground!
Chen Jiu said excitedly: "Then can you lead us to escape underground like the spiritual officer of Wang Clan of Langya?"
The Great Desolate Divine Cauldron boasted subconsciously, "What place are you hiding? I can just dodge and get there, uh, that's it."
He couldn't blow it anymore.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask: "How far is it?"
Honghuang Shending said awkwardly: "I can only dodge about a hundred feet away now, and I can't dodge many times. It's impossible for me to lead you to escape."
A few flashes are enough.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Brother Wang, let's go."
After saying that, he immediately ran towards the northeast.
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
The wolf demon Wang Er quickly chased after him and warned him, "Hey, Jiu, you're running in the wrong direction. This is the northeast direction. The old demon is right in front!"
What do you know?
Chen Jiu explained helplessly: "I just want to lead the people of Langya Wang's family to the old demon and let them have a big fight. Even if I can't kill them all, I can at least seriously injure their vitality."
Is this even possible?
Wolf Demon King II asked in confusion, "Then aren't we doomed to die if we're caught in the middle?"
This guy's brain is really not working well!
Chen Jiu simply asked: "Lao Ding, it should be okay for you to lead us out of the underground for a few miles, right?"
Honghuang Shending suddenly realized, "No problem, no problem, leave it to me."
The wolf demon finally understood.
He was quite unconvinced and said, "Ah Jiu, why do you call Lao Ding so affectionately, but call me Wang brother? How distant is that?"
What is this guy thinking?
Chen Jiu said unhappily: "Then what should I call you? Lao Wang? Lao Er? None of them sound nice."
The wolf demon was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Wang? I think it sounds pretty good."
No, Lao Wang next door is too annoying.
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "I'd better call you the second brother. I'm the eldest brother and you're the second brother. How about that? Is that okay? Stop talking nonsense and run faster. It will be troublesome if those spiritual officials intercept us on the way."
The man and the demon ran wildly all the way, and in less than half an hour, two towering black mountains appeared in front of them.
It is hundreds of feet high, or at least thousands of meters. There are no such high black mountains around. There is no doubt that the old demon is between these two mountains.
Chen Jiu just took a rough look, then led the wolf demon around a black mountain and climbed up carefully.
Fortunately, there was nothing on the mountain except strange-shaped rocks, and there was not even a bat soldier guarding it. It didn't take long for them to climb to the top of the mountain.
Chen Jiu lay on the top of the mountain and carefully looked out, he was stunned.
This old monster is so big!
The two black mountains were at least three or four hundred feet high, and the top of the old demon's body was less than a hundred feet away from the top of the mountain where they were.
In other words, this guy's body is at least two or three hundred feet tall!
The old goblin’s real body was even more terrifyingly large, and the dense dead branches almost filled up the valley between the two mountains!
Uh, where are the bat soldiers? Why can’t I see any of them?
Chen Jiu carefully raised his head and glanced around, but there was nothing in the sky!
What is going on here?
He lowered his head and took a closer look, and finally understood.
It turned out that there were some giant peach-like fruits hanging under many thick dead branches.
There is no doubt that the bat soldiers are resting inside the fruit.
I don't know whether this old demon is practicing or sleeping. The whole valley is quiet, without any sound at all.
Chen Jiu made some rough gestures, looked back, and then called on the wolf demon to quietly retreat down the top of the mountain and come to a huge rock about four or five meters high.
What is this for?
The wolf demon was puzzled.
Chen Jiu suddenly held back his roar, and the shadow of the tiger god appeared. He then carried the huge rock to the top of the mountain and put it down carefully.
Then he moved a huge rock about two or three meters high and placed it aside.
After finishing all this, he invited the wolf demon to sit cross-legged on top of a huge rock two or three meters high, and wait quietly.
At this time, seven or eight figures had already arrived at the small hill where they had originally stayed.
County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun was squatting beside a huge pit that was nearly three meters deep, in a daze.
This pit seemed to have been created by some weapon, because the stone and the giant hands and feet could not be so round.
The problem is that this weapon is too big, at least three or four meters wide. Where in the world can you find such a big weapon?
Wang Xiangchun pondered for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Did you see what giant weapon Chen Jiu was carrying?"
The spiritual officer who discovered Chen Jiu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, there was only a black wolf about half a meter tall next to him."
It is indeed an ancient magical weapon!
Because only ancient magical weapons can change their size at will.
Divine level skills, ancient magical weapons!
Chen Jiu must have obtained the weapons and skills left behind by the ancient gods by chance!
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Spread out and search for me. With such a short time, he can't run far. Search the area within a radius of thirty miles carefully."
It was daybreak now, and the ghosts should have all returned to the underworld. There would be no danger if they spread out to search. Upon hearing this, several spiritual officials hurriedly made hand seals and hid in the ground.
Not long after, a spiritual officer came back and said in a hurry: "Sir, we found it. Chen Jiu and Black Wolf are on a high mountain about 30 miles northeast."
Finally found!
Wang Xiangchun clenched his fists excitedly, looked around, and then asked, "What are they doing there?"
The spiritual officer said without hesitation: "They seem to be sitting on the huge rock at the top of the mountain to rest."
Wang Xiangchun thought for a moment and then asked, "Did he find you?"
The spiritual officer shook his head slowly and said, "Probably not. When I saw him, he didn't move at all."
Then let’s wait and bring more people to surround him this time. We must catch this guy.
After a while, the spiritual officials he sent out returned one after another.
Wang Xiangchun immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go northeast, about thirty miles, and meet at the foot of the mountain."
After saying this, he took the lead in chanting a spell and disappeared into the ground. Upon seeing this, the other spiritual officials hurriedly followed suit.
They didn't notice that there was a black dot hovering high in the sky.
That was not a bird, but a birdman with wings!
The City God Xu Gongfu had already used talismans to summon a winged mountain god, who was searching around in the sky. The movements of Wang Xiangchun and his party happened to be seen by the mountain god.
High on the mountain, Chen Jiu couldn't help feeling a little proud as he looked at the spiritual officials who were slowly surrounding him.
Hehe, these guys were fooled.
However, on the surface he still pretended to be frightened, and looked back at the cliff behind him from time to time.
This kid doesn't want to jump off the cliff!
Although the cliff didn't seem very high to him, who knew if he would be smashed to pieces and his soul would disappear after jumping down.
Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed him, "Chen Jiu, don't be afraid. As long as you hand over the cultivation method, I promise to forgive you for what happened."
Chen Jiu pretended to be terrified and said, "I, I killed the village god. Will the City God let me go?"
County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun continued to coax him, "Don't worry, the City God is a spirit from the underworld and cannot control matters in the living world. As long as you hand over your skills, I will ensure that nothing happens to you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu shouted to the group of spiritual officials behind him: "City God, is this true?"
City God Xu Gongfu walked up quickly and said loudly: "He is talking nonsense. Give me the skills and I will make sure you are fine!"
These guys actually caught up with us!
When County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun looked back, his face turned extremely ugly.
It turned out that this guy had attracted a birdman and was careless.
Just now, all their attention was focused on Chen Jiu, fearing that this kid would run away, and they didn't even pay attention to the sky!
He was quite angrily saying: "Xu Chenghuang, you are so cunning, such a despicable trick!"
The City God Xu Gongfu retorted, "What, you're not pretending anymore? You're a seventh-rank county magistrate, how can you swear in front of the people you govern?"
none of your business.
This guy is shameless and has a bad mouth, and it's hard to argue with him.
County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun simply turned around and stared at Chen Jiu and said, "Chen Jiu is a mortal in the world of the living. He is under the jurisdiction of the Jimo County Government. Don't even think about interfering."
Chen Jiu immediately felt a powerful spiritual sense covering him, pressing him so hard that he could hardly move.
Seeing this, City God Xu Gongfu also turned around and stared at him and said, "Chen Jiu, you must not believe this guy's lies. The people of Wang Clan of Langya are so bad that they have sores on their heads and pus on the soles of their feet!"
Oh shit, such a powerful pressure!
The two guys were ready to take a risk.
Chen Jiu pretended to be in pain and said, "Oh, it hurts so much!"
Then, he roared like a tiger, and a phantom of a tiger god appeared. He jumped down from a huge rock two or three feet high, and directly lifted up a huge rock four or five feet high next to him, and shouted: "Go, kill this damn old goblin and avenge the brother who died last night!"
What?
What an old witch!
Whose brother died?
Wang Xiangchun and Xu Gongfu were both dumbfounded.
They didn't even take a huge rock four or five meters high seriously.
If Chen Jiu dared to throw it over, Wang Xiangchun could just throw the boulder back at him, and Xu Gongfu could also smash it to pieces with a slap.
The problem is, what is this kid saying? They can’t understand him at all!
Chen Jiu smiled strangely, threw the boulder that was four or five meters high backwards, and then pulled the wolf demon to hide behind a boulder that was two or three meters high.
The Great Divine Cauldron immediately appeared, turning into a size over two feet tall, taking in the man and the wolf, and then disappeared out of thin air.
Wang Xiangchun and Xu Gongfu were still a little confused at this moment.
They had no idea what Chen Jiu was talking about, nor did they know what the point of Chen Jiu hiding behind a rock was.
Is this kid going crazy?
They subconsciously probed their spiritual sense behind the boulder, and both of them showed shock on their faces.
Chen Jiu actually disappeared!
"Humph, you dare to disturb my meditation, you are seeking death!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the other side of the mountain, and the huge rock that had just been thrown down turned into fragments and sprayed into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a tree root as thick as an arm emerged from under everyone's feet and quickly wrapped around them.
What kind of monster is this?
Wang Xiangchun, Xu Gongfu and others used their own magical powers to smash the tree roots that suddenly appeared.
The tree demon king was furious and immediately opened all the fruits, shouting: "Go, suck up all the bastards on the mountain!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh", a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and dense swarms of giant bats flew into the sky like a dark cloud, and then they fell like arrows.
My God, has this stirred up a hornet's nest?
They actually all knew that there was a giant tree between the two mountains.
The problem is that the giant tree is full of dead branches and looks lifeless.
So, they all thought it was a dead giant tree.
Who knew that this giant tree would be such a terrifying existence.
At this point, Wang Xiangchun and his spiritual officials didn't even dare to escape underground, because the ground was full of frighteningly hard tree roots, and the bird god under Xu Gongfu was smashed down by a swarm of giant bats as soon as he flew into the sky.
They had no way to go up or down, so they could only endure the siege of the bat soldiers and desperately escape down the mountain.
At this time, Chen Jiu had already appeared on the top of a mountain a few miles away.
He leaned over there and took a look, and almost laughed out loud.
The spiritual officials of the Wang family of Langya and the gods of the City God Temple were all overwhelmed by the dense swarms of bat soldiers, and not even their human figures could be seen.
Want to arrest me?
Now you are surrounded.
Fortunately, the gods from the City God Temple were inexplicably lured here, otherwise, the few spiritual officials from the Wang family of Langya would probably not be able to fight back.
Now the pursuers have finally been temporarily dealt with, run quickly!
Chen Jiu looked at it a few more times and then called on the wolf demon to quietly retreat from the top of the mountain and run westward.
This time he really screwed the County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun and the City God Xu Gongfu.
With two thousand bat soldiers, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat them even if they summoned all the spiritual officials and gods under their command, not to mention that each of them only brought a few subordinates.
As a result, only the two of them escaped with their king-level strength and life-saving magic weapons, while the spiritual officials and gods they brought with them were all sucked dry by the bat soldiers!
