Chapter 88: Tianyuan Dharma Assembly (V)
Peng Ju's huge spider legs were as sharp as blades, and covered with fine barbs. If nothing unexpected happened, once the mountain ghost was scratched by these legs, it would most likely have a layer of skin shaved off directly.
But Peng Ju didn't seem to intend to kill the mountain ghost directly with her legs - she had a bad habit of playing with her prey.
She carefully examined the mountain ghost's face, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "What a beautiful skin! I have to be careful not to scratch it when I peel it off."
It was not until this moment that Shan Gui finally understood what Peng Ju's hesitant words "otherwise" meant.
"I hope you can find a piece of clothing for me. If I am satisfied, you will succeed. Otherwise -"
I will make you into my clothes.
Non-human creatures seem to have some special liking for human parts. But this is understandable. Humans have been favored by heaven since ancient times. Although they are stupid and weak individuals, they have formed an endless race. On the contrary, those powerful races have gradually declined and disappeared from the world. The ancient gods have hidden themselves from the world, and the descendants of the demons have withered... It is really sad.
Therefore, humans have always been very popular with monsters on the black market, especially various parts of humans, such as human skin and human hearts, which are highly valued. For a while, amulets made of human fingers and ornaments made of human eyes were very popular in the ghost market.
There is a famous saying in the Yokai world: Humans are treasures all over.
The mountain ghost also knew these former fashion trends. So, when a giant spider monster suddenly appeared in such a dark cave and threatened to take her skin, the mountain ghost's first reaction was not fear, but sudden enlightenment: "Ah, it turns out that Miss Pengju thinks I am a human."
So the mountain ghost kindly explained: "I am not a human being, and now is not the time of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. It is illegal to peel people's skin."
But Peng Ju obviously had no intention of wasting time talking to the mountain ghost.
Although she had a huge body, the tips of her eight spider legs were on the ground. With the cooperation of these legs, she walked very lightly. Even the sound she made when she stepped on the ground was very small. She did not attack the mountain ghost directly, but climbed up the wall of the cave as if walking on flat ground.
The light in the cave was very dim and the ceiling was high. After Peng Ju climbed up, it was difficult for him to see her position in the dim light. In addition, her footsteps were so light that they were difficult to detect. She was like an assassin lurking in the dark night.
At this moment, Peng Ju, who was attached to the wall of the cave, was secretly observing the movements of the mountain ghost. She was surprised to find that after she hid her body, the white-haired girl was still standing there without moving, and she didn't even change her posture.
"How pitiful! He must have been frightened silly." Peng Ju thought.
In fact, Peng Ju was not very strong. If she faced off head-on, she would be beaten to a pulp if the opponent had some skills, so she gradually developed the good habit of making traps.
She had originally woven a net at the entrance of the cave, intending to wait for the people of the Zong family to fall into her trap. Who knew that there were so many people coming this time? If she was attacked by a group of people, Peng Ju would definitely not be able to get anything out of the crowd. So she used the name of a trial to go deeper into the dark cave and weave a new net.
And this is exactly why Peng Ju is so mysterious: she wants these humans to fall into her spider web in panic.
She thought that these people would rush in again. When there were too many people, as long as she threatened them a little, they would run around in the dark cave like headless flies and eventually destroy themselves.
Unexpectedly, only one person came in at the end.
Although it was a bit regretful that he couldn't experience the pleasure of catching them all at once, Peng Ju still comforted himself: "Well, it's not a bad idea to die one by one."
With this in mind, Peng Ju emerged from the darkness. She planned to scare this seemingly fragile human first, and then stand by and watch her struggle to death before dying.
Peng Ju's eight legs were firmly nailed into the cave wall. She stood upside down on the top of the cave, quietly waiting for the mountain ghost to fall into her net out of fear.
But five minutes passed, and the mountain ghost in the dark just stood there quietly, not making a noise, not crying, and not even trembling. Peng Ju was a little puzzled: "How can you be so brave?"
In this case, Peng Ju decided to increase the stakes. She stretched out her palm, and saw a stream of mucus secreted from between each of her five fingers. The mucus fell and stretched infinitely, and gradually solidified into silk threads in the process. These silk threads were entangled and tangled together in the process of stretching, forming a bundle of thicker ropes.
The rope with strong stickiness stuck to the mountain ghost's shoulder. The mountain ghost only felt that her shoulder suddenly became heavy, as if an invisible hand was placed on her right shoulder.
So the mountain ghost was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to touch his shoulder, wanting to confirm what had happened, but his right hand was firmly stuck to his shoulder.
Peng Ju was secretly delighted to see the mountain ghost fall for the trick. She thought, "You should be scared now."
Unexpectedly, the mountain ghost only paused for a second, then stretched out his left hand again, grabbed the spider silk hanging on his shoulders, and then pulled it down hard.
Peng Ju only felt a huge pulling force coming, so strong that she was completely powerless to resist. Then a feeling of weightlessness followed, and the whole spider began to fall uncontrollably.
The mountain ghost actually pulled the huge Peng Ju down from the top of the cave.
Peng Ju didn't have time to react, and fell heavily in front of the mountain ghost. When she hit the ground, she felt stars in her eyes. She took a break, looked up and saw the mountain ghost standing beside her, looking down at her. Before Peng Ju could fight back, she was hit hard in the face and fainted.
On the other hand, the huge roar when Peng Ju fell to the ground alarmed the crowd anxiously waiting at the entrance of the cave. They thought that something had happened to the mountain ghost. While regretting agreeing to let a girl go to the depths of the cave alone, they rushed to turn on their mobile phones to light up and rushed into the depths of the cave.
The mountain ghost is fine.
Not only was she fine, she was bending over, trying to wrap the "clothes" they had just woven around the unconscious Peng Ju. However, the product they had woven together was more like a tool for tying people up than a "clothes". In short, at first glance, it looked like a mountain ghost was wrapping ropes around Peng Ju again and again.
She was still mumbling, "Isn't this quite suitable? Why are you not satisfied?"
Her expression was natural and sincere, and she seemed to be asking Peng Ju questions sincerely.
Everyone: “…” Yeah, it’s tied very tightly.
Peng Ju, who had just looked mysterious and powerful, now had a terrifying spider-like lower body. In contrast to her terrifying appearance, she was in an extremely miserable state. She was lying on her back with her eight legs facing the sky, and her limbs were still twitching unconsciously. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.
The annoying spider silk also became less active due to Peng Ju's weakness and was no longer as sticky. So the mountain ghost, who had already tied up the man, was trying to rub the spider silk stuck on his hands onto Peng Ju's body, and his nonchalant movements were like shaking off an annoying dog-skin plaster.
After everything was sorted out, Shan Gui stood up and looked at Lu Ren. She still had that gentle smile on her face and said in a gentle tone: "Aren, you passed the test successfully."
In this hellish composition scene, the mountain ghost's beautiful smile made everyone present subconsciously take a step back.
Although Lu Ren did not retreat, a thought kept coming to his mind: "Is there a possibility that the mountain ghost is actually a natural black?"
Qilin cub obviously didn't have that nerve. He held A Bing in his arms and skipped to the mountain ghost, saying admiringly, "Sister A Li! You are so awesome."
The mountain ghost, who was praised, smiled and touched the unicorn cub's head.
The action of Qilin Cub also successfully reminded Zong Yi, Zhong Yong and others that their behavior was inappropriate: although it was Shan Gui who took the initiative to ask for it, it was they who agreed to let a girl take the risk alone. Now that Shan Gui has successfully completed the task, they not only did not express their gratitude, but also retreated and avoided it, which was somewhat disrespectful.
Then Zong Yi, Zhong Yong, along with Ah Da and Ah Er, laughed dryly and clapped their hands, with endless words of praise:
"Sister Ali is so awesome!"
"Sister Ali is so awesome!"
The mountain ghost was a little embarrassed by the praise from everyone. She smiled shyly and said, "It's not that serious. I just pulled her gently . She fell down accidentally."
As if she was greatly angered by the mountain ghost's words, the originally huge Peng Ju silently transformed into a small spider the size of a thumbnail. The cave she had transformed into also disappeared in an instant.
The sudden sunlight dazzled everyone and they squinted their eyes uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Peng Ju wanted to take advantage of her small size and sneak away when everyone's attention was not on her. Unexpectedly, she was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Qilin cub. He caught the small spider with one hand and showed off to Lu Ren: "Aren! Spider!"
Before Lu Ren could say anything, Zong Yi was the first to shout in surprise, "Brother Lu Yang! You can't catch it! What if it's some scary monster?"
Zhong Yong patted the noisy Zong Yi and said, "How powerful can a monster like this be that even a child can easily catch? It must be a new servant of some mysterious master, and he is just using it to scare us."
Peng Ju was actually a terrifying monster, but was easily controlled by Qilin: "..."
Then Peng Ju received the treatment that every insect caught by a child deserves: put into a mineral water bottle.
Zong Yi shook the mineral water bottle and asked, "Where are the remaining two levels?"
Peng Ju, who had suffered so much humiliation, saw that he still thought this was a game without any tension, so he did not expose it. He just smiled and said, "This year is different from previous years. The three levels will be spread over two days. The second level will come to you tonight."
Zong Yi of course didn't know that Peng Ju was threatening him. He just stroked his chin and muttered, "I wonder what ."
After thinking for a long time without any conclusion, Zongyi shrugged and put the matter of "passing three levels" behind his mind: "Forget it, we will fight against the enemy with our troops and block the water with earth."
He looked at the lush green mountains around him and said to Lu Ren, "The ambient light is good now, and the scenery is great. Let's start a live broadcast to build momentum." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and opened the live broadcast account, and handed the phone to Lu Ren, "Aren, help me."
While Lu Ren was impressed by Zongyi's jumping thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really dedicated. Then he took Zongyi's phone and started filming. At the same time, he opened the live broadcast interface on his own phone and handed it to Zongyi so that Zongyi could watch the audience feedback.
Zong Yi smiled cheerfully at the camera of his mobile phone, totally unlike the one who just escaped death. He said enthusiastically: "Hello, everyone. I am your dear Yi Yi. I am now on the mountain." Then, Zong Yi turned his body to let the audience look at the beautiful scenery behind him.
It can be seen that Zong Yi is indeed very famous. A lot of viewers flocked into the live broadcast room the moment the broadcast started.
After introducing the scenery, Zongyi walked to the side of Shan Gui again, pushed Shan Gui in front of the screen, and introduced with a smile: "We have a special guest today. Let us welcome the new anchor Sister Ali! Isn't she beautiful?"
Lu Ren saw countless praises for the mountain ghost flashing across the screen:
[Sister, kill me! ]
【Good wine! 】
[Ahhh! I can do this!]
Then Lu Ren, who was holding up his phone, found that the interface suddenly froze, and then a huge rocket special effect exploded on the screen. Before Lu Ren could see what happened, he heard Zong Yi's surprised voice: "Thank you Donghuang Taiyi for the rocket! Boss 666!"
Lu Ren: “…” This can’t be the Donghuang Taiyi that I know.
