Chapter 68: Ghostly

In a house in a desert town.

When Shi Liu saw Jiang Xia put down the gun, her ugly and cute face still showed pain, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Jiang Xia really didn't know how to practice and didn't understand the mysteries involved.

If you were in the Ku Mu Realm, the oath you made would naturally be witnessed by heaven and earth, and would turn into shackles that would wrap around your soul. If you made a great oath, you would never be free for the rest of your life.

Especially these monsters, who were born and raised by nature, and are closer to the rules of heaven and earth than other races.

When the pomegranate was still young, the mountain guardian lady who was close to it had repeatedly emphasized that spirits and monsters must never swear to the heaven and earth casually.

But now, we are in a world without spiritual energy.

Pomegranate thought.

Even if you really swore an oath, this world does not have the rules of heaven and earth that rely on spiritual energy, or powerful monks to witness the oath, so it is just like gray hair.

hey-hey.

This mortal is just stupid.

As it was thinking this, it heard Jiang Xia in front of it cough lightly a few times and recite the hundred words in his hand, pausing occasionally and stumbling over them.

He said a sentence and Pomegranate repeated it.

It was fine at first.

But when he read to the end, the little mountain monster felt that something was not right.

The passage Jiang Xia was reciting sounded like a very formal and obscure ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the kind that would only be used by highly accomplished practitioners.

Many of the nouns, even the word pomegranate, were heard for the first time.

When reading the last two sentences, Pomegranate hesitated.

I dare not repeat it.

Even though we know that there are no strange phenomena in this world.

But out of its monster instinct, it could still feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

Jiang Xia didn't urge it either.

He just stretched out his left hand and rubbed the large-caliber pistol. On the table was the purse filled with fairy money. That thing was probably the only source of spiritual energy in this world.

The spiritual energy in the several fairy coins placed next to the pomegranate's petrified body is almost exhausted. If it is not replenished in time, the pomegranate will petrify again.

Jiang Xia, this bad guy, looks generous.

But in fact.

Poor pomegranate, it had no choice.

In the end, Pomegranate reluctantly repeated the last sentence of the oath. When it finished the last word, Jiang Xia saw that the words on the parchment disappeared.

The last bit of ink turned into a few words.

"I have seen it, the ceremony is complete."

"That's right."

Jiang Xia smiled, grabbed the purse and scattered more than ten fairy coins next to the stone statue of Pomegranate, and were sucked up by the mountain monster.

Clusters of spiritual energy were drawn into its body.

The body, which was mostly petrified, quickly broke into pieces, and in less than a few seconds, the lifelike stone statue turned back into that cunning mountain monster.

It moved its body and touched its chest in a very human way, as if it was frightened.

It held its small steel fork tightly, as if in this cold and heartless world, only the magic weapon given to it by the mountain guardian lady before it left to perform its duties could bring it the last bit of warmth.

"I wonder why you are so bold. It turns out that there is someone behind you, a mortal!"

Shi Liu glared at Jiang Xia and screamed.

Jiang Xia looked back and saw nothing behind him.

Of course, this action was just a joke.

He understood very well what Shi Liu meant. What Xiao Shanguai wanted to say was that Jiang Xia, this bold mortal, had a mysterious practitioner backing him up.

It was clearly misunderstood.

But it’s better this way. Shi Liu took the initiative to have this idea, so I don’t have to explain too much.

Mr. Crow is indeed very powerful.

But he is a star wanderer and will not stay in the Bitterwood Realm for long.

Moreover, when they met for the first time, Mr. Crow made it very clear that he would not help Jiang Xia to stir up trouble in Ku Mu Territory, and their current relationship was far from being that of friends.

We can only say that we are collaborators who help each other.

So Jiang Xia gave Shi Liu a mysterious smile, skipped the topic, and said to the mountain monster:

"How long will this spiritual energy last you?"

"One or two hours."

Pomegranate lowered its head, grabbed a few unused coins in its hand, folded its wings, raised its head, tilted its head, glanced at Jiang Xia, and said:

"I have sworn an oath, why don't you send me back? This damn place has no spiritual energy at all. I am not comfortable here and feel uncomfortable all over."

"Not urgent."

Jiang Xia glanced at the peach charm hanging on Shi Liu's chest inconspicuously. He stood up, and his spirit, which had been drained before, was restored a little, and he staggered towards the door.

He said:

"We need to deal with the monster first."

"Oh, that's right. I haven't asked you yet!"

Shi Liu suddenly remembered this and jumped up and down on the alloy table and asked:

"I know you like to stir up trouble, but how did you provoke that demon general?"

"Demon general?"

Jiang Xia leaned against the wall, looked back at Shi Liu, and said:

"What is this? Is this the classification of monsters? Is it the same as the realm of Qi training and true cultivation?"

"yes."

Pomegranate explained:

"The various races in this world have different ways of cultivation and different realms. Although they are all divided into six levels, their names are so different that they are worlds apart.

The demon general is equivalent to the cultivator in the realm of truth among you humans.

In the northern border, there are many monsters and it is very common to see a monster general, but in Fengming Country, there has been no trace of wild monsters for many years.

Not to mention a demon general suddenly jumped out.

When I first smelled that evil spirit, I was really frightened."

"Then based on your knowledge, Shi Liu, where did this black wolf demon that suddenly appeared come from?"

Jiang Xia rubbed his forehead and sent a private message to Rogge in the chip communication, but the two parties were too far apart at this time, and there was no signal repeater in between, so he didn't know whether Rogge could receive it.

He turned around and said something to Shi Liu, who flapped her wings and flew shakily to Jiang Xia's shoulder, sat down on it, looked at Jiang Xia with an expression as if he were a country bumpkin, and said with a little disdain:

"How do I know?"

Pomegranate curled his lips and said:

“Since I was born several decades ago, I have been hanging around Yandang Pond. Although there are some water and wood monsters scattered in the Southern Wilderness Swamp, how dare they approach my Holy Land of Spirits and Monsters?

So the monsters I have seen are only slightly more than you."

"Um?"

Jiang Xia blinked.

This pomegranate used to like to brag to show how "learned" he was, but why was he so frank now? He took the initiative to reveal all his secrets.

Could it be because of the oath just now?

He thought about it and asked calmly:

"You always mention the mountain guardian grandma. Who is that? Is she your elder? Is she also from the mountain monster clan?"

"no."

A look of intimacy and longing appeared on Pomegranate's face, and even its voice became much softer. It touched the peach charm it had hung and said:

"The Mountain Guarding Granny is a mountain deity, a great spirit born from the spiritual power of one of the seven peaks of Yandang Lake.

It is said that it is the spirit of the mountains and rivers in the world, the manifestation of the branch veins of the great god Changshan, one of the two immortal spirits of my spirit clan, which is equivalent to the father-daughter relationship of you humans.

In short, the Mountain Guardian Grandma holds a noble status among the spirits and is one of the elders of Yandang Pond.

I am a little luckier.

The spiritual stone under the pomegranate tree that gave birth to me was born right on the mountain of the mountain guardian granny, so I was raised by the mountain guardian granny since I was little."

"Oh, I didn't realize that you, Shi Liu, are still a 'third generation immortal'."

Jiang Xia joked:

"Mother Zhenshan is the daughter of the Great God Changshan, and you are her offspring. If we round it off, you are the grandson of the Great God Changshan."

"Can it be calculated this way?"

Pomegranate was also stunned for a moment, but then the little mountain monster crossed his arms and shook his head, saying:

“That can’t be counted like that.

I have already said that the Great God of Changshan is the spirit of all the mountains and rivers in the world, and the sacred mountains in Kumu Territory are all considered the body of the Great God of Changshan. If what you said is true, then the grandchildren of the Great God of Changshan will be all over the world.

Anyway, don't use your human ways to sequence our spirits."

"Alright alright."

Jiang Xia waved his hand.

She was certain in her heart that after Shi Liu recited the oath, she could basically no longer keep secrets in front of Jiang Xia. This silly boy probably hasn't noticed this change yet.

"Let's talk about the black wolf demon."

While waiting for Rogge's response, Jiang Xia said:

"Can't you see the bottom of it?"

"sure."

Pomegranate held a few fairy coins, flapped its wings, and circled around Jiangxia.

Staring with red eyes, chirping:

"It's a wolf, and a wolf demon, so it must be related to the North Territory Wind Chaser. That place is the ancestral land of the wolf demon clan and was originally the territory of the Demon Saint Xiaofeng.

However, the Wolf Demon Saint had gone mad in his early years and was imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Immortal Alliance. Since then, the Wolf Demon clan has been left without protection and has been robbed of their territory by the evil monsters from the Handi Mountain and the Falling Star Gorge in the north.

After being bullied for more than a hundred years, they were scattered to the northern border and even all over the world. Now I heard that even in that desolate place of the West Sea, there are wolf monsters living there.

So if you want to determine exactly where it came from, it's basically impossible unless it tells you itself."

"Old Luo has probably killed it by now, so naturally no one knows the secret."

Jiang Xia sighed regretfully.

Although Lord Bao, who caused all this, has been eaten by a wolf, the unclear origins of the wolf demon are always a hidden danger. Lord Bao can even use a wolf demon to set an ambush.

If Liu Ruyi is also involved, maybe Ruyifang is secretly hiding other "secret weapons" like the wolf demon.

"These monsters are too unrefined."

Jiang Xia curled his lips and said:

“Although he is different from the cultivators of the human race, he has practiced cultivation after all. He actually let mortals point fingers and act as an accomplice to the evildoers. It is really hateful. If I didn’t have some tricks, I would have died right there this time.

"Don't you, the Immortal Alliance, do anything about this chaos?"

Pomegranate also curled her lips.

It doesn't even bother to explain any of this.

The Immortal Alliance treats all races equally in their practice and has strict requirements for human cultivators, so they will naturally not allow monsters to cause chaos. This time, everything about this matter is strange.

But as a small mountain monster, it couldn't see the details of what was going on. It could only go back and report to Taofuyuan, asking the top leaders to send monks to investigate.

Shi Liu also felt a little scared.

This small Fengming country looks like a remote and poor place.

But the water is really deep.

It has only been less than a month since it came here and a demon general has already appeared. If it stays any longer, will it see a fight between immortal kings?

But the poor pomegranate didn't know that in a certain memory that had been wiped clean, it had actually seen with its own eyes the powerful Yu Fengshan appear.

"Calling...hiss...Jiang Xia, received...answer."

At this moment, a communication response sounded in Jiang Xia's chip. Rogge's voice was a little out of tune and intermittent, as if there was interference. Jiang Xia responded immediately.

A few seconds later, I heard Roger say:

"The Eternal Life Society... hiss... stronghold... hiss... captured. The monster... hiss... is not dead. Something... has changed. You... hiss... come and take a look. The coordinates... hiss... are as follows."

"Um?"

When Jiang Xia heard the reply, he was a little surprised. Rogge did not kill the wolf demon, and it seemed that he captured it alive.

He looked back at the pomegranate and said:

"The wolf demon has been captured, and it seems to have changed a bit. Do you want to go take a look?"

"No."

Pomegranate raised her head proudly and said:

"I just want to go home now."

"Go and have a look. I'll take you back after you're done."

Jiang Xia said something and walked out the door.

Pomegranate wanted to throw a tantrum, but after a few breaths, he could only follow dejectedly.

Damn mortal, what he said just now was just a question out of politeness, but in fact, it was an order and a command, damn it!

He really thinks he is a big shot.
