Chapter 23: Winning the Golden Body
The sky was slightly bright, and the wide Wei River was sparkling.
Chen Jiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the new area opposite that was gradually getting brighter, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Originally, he thought that after being promoted to Demon King, he would be able to roam new areas and crazily devour blood, energy, and souls.
Who would have thought that on the first night he would meet a master from Wang Clan of Langya.
Perhaps he had been living too comfortably these past two days and had forgotten about the powerful enemy who was chasing him.
The Wang family of Langya has powerful warriors at the level of earth immortals, and there are countless ghost immortals in the underworld. Their power is great enough to crush him. If they really get ruthless, let alone Linlang Immortal Palace, he might not be able to save his life.
What should I do next?
Seeing him like this, Jiaona couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ajiu, what's wrong?"
He shook his head slowly and pretended to be indifferent: "Nothing, I was just thinking about how to deal with the reinforcements from the Northern Yin Division. The reinforcements from the Wang Clan of Langya have arrived, and the reinforcements from the Jimo Yin Division will probably be here soon."
Yes, the reinforcements from Jimo Yinsi have arrived, but they haven’t come yet.
Jiaona couldn't help but worry: "Can't we lead them to the tree demon king when the time comes?"
Chen Jiu sighed in his heart: "How powerful do you think the Tree Demon King can be?
The bat soldiers suffered heavy losses last night, and it is unknown how many waves of reinforcements this guy can withstand. If the Wang family of Langya and the Northern Yin Division send earth immortals and ghost immortals, this guy will not be able to withstand it.
Besides, they are not fools if they use the same strategy over and over again. After this wave, Wang Clan of Langya and Beiyinsi will probably be furious. "
Of course, he wouldn't say that, he didn't want Jiaona to worry too.
What a man should do is try his best to make his woman happy.
He cheered himself up and forced a smile, "Yes, we just need to lead them to the tree demon king. I've been busy all night and I'm hungry. Let's go catch some fish."
After saying that, he tore off his sheepskin coat, jumped up, and dashed into the river in a few strides.
Soon, big and small fish were thrown onto the shore one by one.
When the wolf demon king II saw the food, he pounced on it without even asking and picked up the fish quickly.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing jumped up and down, and said happily: "Oh, there is grilled fish to eat again."
Jiaona picked up the worn sheepskin coat, looked at it, then found a pair of scissors, cut off the four corners of the tiger skin, and began to cut and sew carefully.
After Chen Jiu finished his work, he rushed ashore and saw that his worn-out sheepskin coat had turned into an exquisite tiger-skin coat!
Perhaps for people who have no worries about food and clothing, new clothes are nothing, but for poor people who have once endured cold and hunger, new clothes are a huge surprise.
Chen Jiu's mood instantly improved, and he couldn't help but said happily: "Jiao Na, you are so nice."
Jiaona blushed and shook her head slightly, "What's the big deal about making a piece of clothing? Look at the weather. It might rain in the afternoon. How about we build a house?"
Build a house?
If this happened in the village, it would probably take a few people a month or two to do the work.
However, with the power of the demon king, building a pure wooden house would not be that difficult.
Chen Jiu put on his new clothes with excitement on his face, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you cook the fish, and I'll go cut wood, and then we'll build a house together."
After saying that, he picked up the machete, found a place with dense trees nearby, and started chopping wood.
In fact, there is another advantage of building a house here, which is to make the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo mistakenly believe that this is where they will settle down.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. It's just a wooden house, so it won't be a pity to lose it. He can even use this method to mislead the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo and build a few more wooden houses in the south or north.
In this case, the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo will most likely search along the Wei River, and the Jiuling Mountain fifty miles away should not be exposed too early.
The two demon kings worked together to build the house at an incredible speed. Before noon, a wooden house about two meters high was completed.
As expected, it rained in the afternoon. They comfortably roasted fire and ate fish in the house. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.
This time, Chen Jiu was more careful.
He held back his roar and transformed into a faint shadow of a tiger god, making those ghosts and monsters think that he had just been promoted to the strength of a great demon. Then he pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger all the way, slowly moving towards the east.
This night was also a bit strange. There were not many ghosts on the right bank of the Wei River, and they were all ghost generals. There were no powerful ghost kings at all.
They were busy for most of the hour and only sucked a few.
What is going on here?
Chen Jiu was wondering when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting from a distance.
They ran over quickly, climbed up the nearby hill and took a look, and were stunned.
Thousands of ghosts and monsters actually surrounded and beat up a hundred or so gods from the underworld in a low mountain area!
As soon as Chen Jiu saw the familiar golden body of Xu Gongfu, he understood that this was definitely the reinforcements sent by the Northern Yinsi.
He had a question, but he couldn't understand why these ghosts helped him beat up Xu Gongfu and his group.
You should know that next to Xu Gongfu there is a god who is taller than him . Judging from the size of his golden body, he is probably as powerful as a peak ghost king. Ordinary ghosts would be seriously injured and flee if they were touched by his magic.
Are these ghosts crazy?
"Everyone, excuse me for asking, are you also here to practice in this Yin-Yang world?"
When Chen Jiu was puzzled, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.
He subconsciously turned around and took a look, and was so frightened that he almost transformed into his true form of Tiger God immediately.
My God, more than ten headless ghosts suddenly appeared silently from the hillside behind them!
The headless ghost is the scariest kind of ghost.
Moreover, more than ten headless ghosts are four or five meters tall, and it is unclear whether they are ghost kings or ghost generals.
What’s even more terrifying is that there is a skeleton about eight or nine feet tall standing in front of the dozen or so headless ghosts!
This skeleton is even more terrifying. The headless ghost has no head, but this skeleton has a head with blood coming out of all seven orifices on its huge skeleton. It is as scary as it can be.
Jiaona was so scared that she threw herself into his arms, and the wolf demon and the two white foxes were also trembling with fear.
These guys not only look scary, but are also incredibly powerful. This time they are really scared.
Chen Jiu was considering whether to transform into the Tiger God's true form or summon the Primordial Divine Cauldron to escape, when the leading skeleton said in a gentle and elegant manner, "Everyone, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
Do you look like good people?
Chen Jiu asked carefully: "What do you want?"
The skeleton smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet."
Can you please stop laughing? You're even scarier when you laugh!
Chen Jiu gently patted Jiaona's back and said in a fake tone: "Yes, we also came to this Yin and Yang world to practice."
The skeleton nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "Brother, I believe you have also seen the troops of the Northern Yin Division. They are just their pioneers. If we don't kill them, the Northern Yin Division army will soon come to clear them out.
By then, there will be no place for us in the Yin and Yang Realm. The Northern Yin Division will definitely clean up all the fragments of the Yellow Springs Road, making it impossible for us to come to the Yin and Yang Realm to practice at night.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me to wear down their strength. When they are almost exhausted, I will take my brothers with me to destroy them."
This guy wants us to be cannon fodder!
Chen Jiu finally understood why those ghosts and monsters were beating up the Northern Yinsi's men like crazy. He guessed that they were all fooled by this guy.
The other ghosts certainly don’t want this rare Yin and Yang world to be taken away by the Northern Yin Division.
But I'm different. I won't be so stupid as to risk my life for you.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said cryptically: "Brother, I believe you can see that I am not a ghost from the underworld. This world of yin and yang is not that important to me."
Gee, this guy has some brains.
The skeleton suddenly frowned and said coldly: "If you don't help me, you will be our enemy. We can't be polite to our enemies."
Oops, threatening me?
Chen Jiu secretly communicated with his spiritual sense: "Lao Ding, prepare to take them away, I will cover them."
Then, he whispered a few words into Jiaona's ear, then he leaped to the mountainside, held back his roar, and transformed into his true form of the Tiger God.
Seeing this, the skeleton suddenly changed his expression and put on a smiling face, saying, "So you are the Great Demon King. I am so sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."
Is this guy sick?
Chen Jiu said coldly: "I don't want to fight with you, and don't try to trick us into going to our deaths. How about we go our separate ways?"
The skeleton actually smiled and said, "Brother, please don't be like this. More friends mean more paths. If you are willing to help me this time, I will definitely help you if you have any problems next time."
Still want to lie to me?
Unfortunately, your face is not suitable for lying!
Chen Jiu still said coldly: "Tell me, what do you want?"
The skeleton actually said bluntly: "To be honest, I actually want to take my brothers to seize the golden bodies of those gods and then become fake gods."
ah?
This guy must be mentally ill!
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, but still said coldly: "That's your business. I just want to ask you, if I don't want to help, what do you want to do?"
The skeleton said sincerely, "To be honest, your strength is considered top-notch in the Yin and Yang world. I can't invite anyone with your strength. If you are unwilling to help, it will be difficult for me to seize the golden bodies of those gods.
Of course, if you are willing to help, it will be different. If we work together, we can definitely defeat those gods and take away their golden bodies.
Brother, I am not a man of great integrity, but I am a very honest man. If you are willing to help me this time, I will repay you with gratitude in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu suddenly had an idea.
This guy wants to use him, but he can also use this guy in return. Isn't his purpose also to destroy these underworld gods?
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu pretended to hesitate and said, "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"
The skeleton said without hesitation: "I am Dengzhou Yuqi, I wonder if you have heard anything about it."
Dengzhou Yuqi!
There are not many people in Shandong who have not heard of Yu Qida from Dengzhou, because this guy is the most famous rebel leader in Shandong in more than a hundred years!
