…
The next day.
Youpeng walked out of the forbidden valley contentedly.
After a night of bloodbath.
All the flower fairies in the valley were destroyed by her.
Under the unjustified support of the sin mark.
The speed at which her attack power increases is extremely fast.
It reached an incredible level overnight!
on the data bar.
…
"Record: You have killed 13 deformed flower fairies, and have killed a total of 516 deformed flower fairies. Your milestone, Daiqing Gate, has set a new record."
…
"Your Spirit-type dharma attack power increases by 516% (there is still room for improvement)"
…
An attack power increase of more than 5 times was enough to make Roger happy.
What's more, the relevant progress bar has not been fully drawn.
Let’s take a closer look.
There is at least 300%~400% room!
What a pity.
He had turned the valley upside down yesterday.
He stopped only after he found no more fish that had escaped the net.
It can only be called the valley known as the "Eight Hundred Flower Monsters".
So much has been lost during these years of confinement.
To this.
Roger was mentally prepared.
After mastering many identities.
He knows Taoyuan Mountain very well.
He knows.
Before he arrived.
As the leader of Yougu, Hua Shangxian has already taken on the form of the evil demon Hu Li...
The same goes for the flower fairies under her command.
Otherwise, such an outrageous thing as colluding with the immortals of Changle Village to attack Lao Tianpeng would not have happened.
afterwards.
To prevent being pursued by Tianhu, Sixiang Temple and other forces.
The Flower Fairy retreats to advance.
Imprisoned himself in a deep valley.
Actually.
She has been serving the evil spirits.
When Youpeng went in.
The whole valley was filled with evil spirit.
If it weren't for the many magic arrays and barriers covering it.
The anomaly here should have been discovered by others long ago.
That's why.
Too much evil energy causes the flower fairies to have violent tempers.
Always killing each other.
The best Hua Shangxian can do is control himself.
This leads to the fact that the number of flower demons is far less than what the outside world imagines.
…
certainly.
These secrets happened before Roger came.
After Roger obtained the identity of Hua Shangxian.
The latter's wandering soul that was restrained by the "Death Lock" had already been knocked out by Roger.
Naturally, the evil demon could no longer restrain her.
And Roger also discovered from a series of details.
Hu Li's death lock is actually very weak.
This thing can only achieve a certain soul-binding effect when used in conjunction with "Bluff".
If you don't believe in the power of the death lock from the bottom of your heart.
Then it really doesn't have much power!
Roger himself was the same way.
When he took on the identity of the Mantis Queen.
In fact, it directly broke the original owner's death lock.
That's why.
Hu Li would appear in the drama of mother and daughter killing each other.
At that time.
Hu Li put the death lock on Roger again.
But Roger didn't really believe in this stuff at all.
Therefore, the effectiveness of the death lock is greatly weakened.
So much so that when he was killed by Zhu Lianlian.
The Death Lock that claims to be able to lock blood didn't work at all!
…
certainly.
About this.
Roger also holds a large number of identities.
I figured it out only after I had more information at hand.
But no matter what.
After obtaining the 'identity hook'.
The demon's status was far from as high as Roger had imagined.
In comparison.
What he cares more about now is the Ether Witch!
Roger knew it.
Time is on your side.
As long as we can control the only variable, the Ether Witch.
He had the victory in his pocket.
All he needs to think about next is how to win more beautifully!
…
So in the following week.
Roger's main consciousness was still controlling the young Peng to sweep across Lei Ze.
The second thing is to pay attention to the movements of the witch.
The latter's movements made Roger feel at ease.
After all, this is a struggle with completely unequal information.
Many of the reactions of the Ether Witch are completely in line with the level of a "player" in the game.
She might still be repeatedly playing out various games and deductions about this game of chess in her mind.
What a pity.
What she didn't know was.
The opponent on the other side is ready to start dancing on the chessboard.
…
In the evening of the 7th day.
Lei Ze.
The rainstorm will stop.
The thunderclouds dispersed.
Birds of prey flew across the sky.
Landed steadily on the platform outside the Tianpeng's nest.
The young roc pecked its own feathers skillfully.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The young hairs faded away one by one.
Instead.
They are Peng feathers that are as sharp and hard as steel and contain the power of wind and thunder!
After this baptism of the Wind and Thunder Order.
Youpeng's realm has reached a higher level.
It’s time to reach the bottleneck period!
This is equivalent to a transcendent person of level ninety or so.
It's just one step away from upgrading.
certainly.
With the limitations of monsters.
It will be difficult to break through by force next time.
After all, not everyone can gain XP by killing people like Roger does.
And you can upgrade it with XP.
"Breaking the evil and creating embroidery" is a very difficult process for the monsters.
According to normal circumstances.
Youpeng will have to spend at least 30 to 80 years on this.
Although with Tianpeng's qualifications.
The success of the embroidery is almost a done deal.
But wanting to skip the accumulation of time is also an extremely low probability event.
Roger knew it.
Now this realm is almost the highest realm that Youpeng can achieve in Taoyuan Mountain.
Next.
It requires additional opportunities and time accumulation.
Think of this.
Roger couldn't help but glance at the data column.
The new realm brought a new magical power to Xiaopeng.
Its name is " Soul-stealing Claw"!
…
"Soul-stealing Claw: You can use this ability on 1 to 3 enemies within your field of vision.
Just grab the void.
A sharp claw condensed from the wind from the sky will shoot towards the target like a hook.
Once the claws hit the target.
There is a certain chance that the opponent's soul will be pulled out of his body.
And hold it firmly in your hand.
Then it causes considerable soul damage.
It can even directly cause the destruction of the soul.
…
In combat mode.
The Soul Reaper Claw will 100% ignore the normal defensive stance of the Defense Wheel! 」
…
「Consumption: 20% of satiety」
…
It's obvious.
"Soul-stealing Claw" is a very powerful magical power!
Even if you leave the secret realm of Taoyuan Mountain.
It will also help Roger in his battle.
After all, the field of 'soul grabbing' is still a little blank in his arsenal.
Force-related skills have similar abilities.
It’s a pity that with his current strength.
It is far less enjoyable than using the spirit's Dharma image!
…
"The little female bird still has potential."
"It's this satiety..."
“I’m so hungry!”
Feeling the rumbling hunger in my stomach.
Roger could only sigh.
Then he shouted sternly:
"I'm eating!"
…
Under the platform.
Immediately, panicked herb pickers and Ge Shi rushed to deliver all kinds of food to the door.
Most of them are herbs such as astragalus, ginseng, and mountain spirit.
As for meat.
It can only be said that it is very rare——
As Youpeng's pace of unifying Lei Ze continues to accelerate.
More and more people are following her.
There are almost no enemies.
This led her to a meat-eating dilemma.
It's not convenient for her to say something against her own people, right?
Although she used the excuse of her previous defection to kill a group of relatively fat monsters.
But the meat couldn't satisfy her appetite at all!
It’s not that there’s not enough meat.
But Youpeng eats too much!
In fact.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Geshi clan is very good at growing “mountain gardens”.
Youpeng even finds it difficult to fill his stomach with herbs!
…
"Eating grass every day is very energy-intensive, but it won't be a big deal after a while!"
Roger complained silently in his mind.
Reflected on Youpeng.
The little female bird just kept eating.
While angrily scolding his subordinates.
The people in the audience looked terrified.
In fact, I feel as steady as a rock.
These subordinates are not fools either.
They already knew the temper of the new Lei Ze Overlord very well.
Looks violent and fierce.
In fact, he is very good to his own people.
He would rather starve himself than eat the monsters under his command.
What kind of spirit is this?
Even old Tianpeng, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness, couldn't do this!
I feel this.
The loyalty of those monsters who surrendered later also increased rapidly.
Youpeng's position as the overlord of Lei Ze is quite secure.
only.
This comes at the cost of being hungry all the time!
…
It's okay to dislike it.
Driven by hunger.
Youpeng ate all the offerings while still cursing.
Not a blade of grass was left.
Then she lazily raised her wings.
Shrinking his body, he went back to his nest.
With her current body shape.
Living in the Tianpeng's nest is actually a bit of a stretch.
But others won’t think too much about it.
After a while.
All the idlers dispersed.
A light appeared in the nest.
Immediately following.
A swift shadow suddenly passed across the platform.
And then it soared to the top!
…
A few minutes later.
Dozens of kilometers away from Changle Village.
Small valley.
In the woods.
The young Peng folded its wings leisurely.
She said to the honest-looking Green Ox Monster in front of her:
“The time has come.”
The green bull monster nodded obediently.
Then he asked cautiously:
"Thunder Lord, that thing..."
Youpeng raised his neck impatiently .
Next second.
She opened her beak.
Between the upper and lower jaws.
A lavender bead was faintly visible.
In the blink of an eye.
She swallowed it again!
See this bead.
The Green Ox Monster seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll arrange it right away!"
He said solemnly.
…
…
That night.
Xiaoliu House in Changle Village.
There was a hurried knock on the door that Black Wind Monster had newly installed.
As soon as Ripley heard the frequency of the knocks on the door, he knew something was wrong!
“Here it comes!”
He shouted loudly.
Cross la la!
What a pity.
The door shattered faster than he could imagine!
Outside in the moonlight.
The Green Ox Monster still had that silly smile.
There are also debris all over the ground.
…
See this scene.
The Black Wind Monster couldn't help but grit his teeth and said:
"Brother Niu!"
"Can you be gentler next time?"
The Green Bull Monster looked ashamed:
"Feel sorry."
"But business is more important!"
"I'm here today to inform you, brother. I'll come to see you at this time three days from now, and we'll officially set off!"
The Black Wind Monster was slightly stunned:
"Three days later? Didn't we agree to start today?"
Old Qingniu shook his head:
"We still need some time to prepare."
Speaking of.
He showed a relieved expression again:
"My dear brother, you are worthy of being chosen by Master Lei and Master Xile. You are really eager to eliminate demons!"
Ripley's heart trembled when he heard this.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
Next.
He and Lao Qingniu fought back and forth for half the night.
Only then did he send off this gate nemesis exhausted physically and mentally——
…
In fact.
After Lao Qingniu left.
The Black Wind Monster stared at the fragments of the gate on the ground for a long time.
He really doubted that the other party didn't knock on the door with his hands at all...
certainly.
None of this matters anymore.
The most important thing right now is to convey this information to the witch!
…
"Another three days?"
The witch's reaction was exactly as Ripley expected.
She started to doubt me...
Ripley sighed inwardly.
However, he still patiently explained:
“They said they needed more preparation time.”
"This seems to be related to the ancient secret treasure of Taoyuan Mountain."
"I don't know the details. You know, given my position in this team, it's difficult for me to participate in the decision-making process."
The witch snorted to show that she understood.
Then the call ended.
Ripley knew it.
The witch doesn't just doubt herself.
You may also doubt whether you have been deceived.
But this matter is really too important.
She was under pressure from Hu Li again.
That's why I have to exercise restraint.
In fact.
Even Ripley himself felt something was a little strange——
He put himself in the other person's shoes.
If I were the decision maker on Lord Lei's side.
If you really want to deal with Hu Li.
Then we must make all preparations in advance!
There can be no such thing as "more preparation time".
Everyone knows that the longer the night, the more dreams you have.
Aren't they afraid that the news will leak out?
Or maybe.
Their real purpose is to leak the news?
…
Think of this.
Ripley felt even more depressed.
He thought over his experiences of the past few days.
Confirm that you are a whistleblower and should be hidden very deeply.
There is no reason for the other party to be aware of my existence!
If the news was leaked intentionally.
Could it be that they are adopting a strategy of casting a wide net?
Am I just one of the many targets being cast?
…
Ripley thought more and more.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become.
But he still maintained the composure of a top wanderer.
The next three days.
He went fishing and reading as usual.
Appearance is normal.
It’s just that the inner torment scenes are much more numerous.
…
Three nights later.
Old Qingniu came as promised.
This time.
The Black Wind Monster, who had been prepared, simply removed the door.
So that the other side can advance directly.
The two sides met.
A familiar smile appeared on Lao Qingniu's face.
Ripley was really afraid that the other party would come up with excuses like "three days later/five days later/a week later".
That would be really troublesome!
But he was somewhat relieved.
This time, Lao Qingniu didn't continue to waste time.
Instead, he looked at the Black Wind Monster solemnly and said:
"Brother Hei, are you all ready?"
The Black Wind Monster nodded frequently.
Old Qingniu doesn't talk much either.
He grabbed the Black Wind Monster's hand.
The two of them instantly turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared on the spot!
…
A few minutes later.
The black wind monster scurrying in the darkness uttered a low questioning sound:
“Brother Niu…”
"Isn't this the direction to the outside of the Great Wall?!"
Old Qingniu laughed and said:
"Don't worry, my dear brother."
"I'll take you to a nice place!"
Upon hearing this.
Ripley felt even more uneasy.
I don't know why.
The figures of the flower fairies actually appeared in his mind...
But it turned out that he was wrong.
The place where Old Green Ox took him.
It is not the legendary little valley full of debauchery and revelry.
Instead, it is a complex of buildings that appears particularly solemn and majestic under the night sky!
…
"Si Xiang Temple"!
…
"Are we here to join Master Xile?"
The Black Wind Monster asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"No."
"We're going to get something!"
The Green Bull Monster explained in a low voice.
While talking.
A furtive figure emerged from the side door of Sixiang Temple.
That is a little monk who eats iron beasts!
He came running over in a panic.
Then he threw a package on the ground.
In the blink of an eye.
The man ran away!
"This is……?"
Without waiting for the Black Wind Monster to ask.
Lao Qingniu then took the opportunity to collect everything in the package.
Then he led him into the temple!
The old blue ox drilled aside.
Whispering in his ear:
…
"Don't worry, brother.
Exorcism requires patience.
We have to get the "Heart of the Demon" first!
Master Xile supports the exorcism.
However, there are still many voices of opposition within Sixiang Temple.
So we have to act fast!
Please remember this map first.
I have a bad memory..."
…
Ripley was completely confused by what Old Blue Bull said.
Aren’t these people really Hu Li’s accomplices?
What is the connection between exorcising demons and stealing the demon's heart?
Consider your own position and personality.
This time.
Ripley confidently asked the question in his mind:
"Why do you want to steal the heart of the evil spirit?"
Old Qingniu smiled and explained:
…
"Don't worry, brother.
You know what kind of person Brother Niu is, right?
We don't just want to steal the demon's heart.
You also have to steal the evil demon's inner elixir, evil spirit, limbs and body!
…
Do all this.
We will take these things and go to Black Nest together.
Then use these to revive Hu Li...
Hey, don't be in a hurry!
Resurrecting Hu Li is not the goal.
Our ultimate goal is to kill him completely.
…
Look.
He is now in a state of immortal wandering spirit.
Even if the Black Nest is destroyed.
There is no guarantee that he would escape with a wandering soul.
After that, you can retreat for a hundred years and then make a comeback.
It is difficult to eliminate the problem permanently in this way!
And our plan is to kill Hu Li completely.
Therefore, the premise for the success of this plan is -
Hu Li must survive first...
We can kill him completely.
Um?
Can you understand?
I know it’s a little complicated…”
…
nonsense.
As a drow wanderer with extraordinary intelligence.
Ripley certainly understood this ridiculous plan.
only.
The strategy of "resurrecting for a better kill" sounds really hellish!
It’s hard to imagine that this is something the natives of Taoyuan Mountain could come up with!
The quick-thinking Ripley has begun to wonder who is behind this plan!
Could it be that...
Is it the man from Qingquan Sect! ?
When I think of him.
The Black Wind Monster's body began to tremble involuntarily!
He didn't dare to think any more for a moment!
…
"Anyway, I'll just be a tool..."
"I won't make trouble here."
"I'll just repeat what the witch said..."
Ripley thought with a shudder.
Next.
He wrote down the map of Sixiang Temple according to the Green Bull Monster's instructions.
Then the two of them relied on his secret black wind.
Somehow, I came to the "Land of Extinction".
Master Xile happens to be on duty today.
The three of them worked together from inside and outside.
When the "Heart of the Demon" appeared in Ripley's hands.
He knows.
The real show is probably about to begin!
…
The next few days.
The Black Wind Monster and the Old Green Ox were running around in the east of Taoyuan Mountain.
They went from Sixiang Temple to Lei Ze.
Then from Lei Ze I went to You Valley, Tian Lake and Changle Village.
With the help of many insiders.
They successfully took the demon's inner elixir, evil spirit, limbs and body.
So far.
The body of the evil demon is completely formed.
However, these five items are sealed by five treasures respectively.
The old blue ox calls them the "Five Innate Treasures".
It is said that these are Taoyuan Mountain’s real trump cards!
To this.
Ripley showed some excitement and curiosity.
But secretly he was very restrained.
Except when the old Qingniu is walking alone.
He found the time to inform the witch of what had happened.
The Black Wind Monster hardly made any unnecessary movements.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Another 6 days passed.
The witch and Hu Li had already become impatient waiting.
If it weren’t for the Black Wind Monster who had been tipping off people.
They must have withdrawn their troops from the Black Nest long ago.
Fortunately, Ripley's latest information finally arrived.
According to him.
The Taoyuan Mountain demon-hunting team is led by Master Xile, Fu Shuijiao and You Peng.
Plus other well-known masters and the Black Wind Monster himself.
There are 11 people in total.
They would arrive at Huanbi Mountain in the evening two days later.
And will attack the Black Nest at dawn the next day!
…
To be honest.
This news was not .
Her thinking is very clear.
It starts from the moment Ripley first talks about attacking Black Nest.
In total, more than half a month has passed!
Time passes day by day.
She always felt that something was changing secretly.
She didn't believe that the enemy would be so foolish as to bring Hu Li's body and the five innate treasures to attack the Black Nest !
But it didn't matter whether she believed it or not.
The seemingly covert but actually high-profile actions of the Taoyuan Mountain Demon-Hunting Team were noticed by even Hu Li, who was not well-informed at the moment.
After learning that the other party actually wanted to implement the incredible strategy of "revive first and then kill".
Hu Li was ecstatic!
He ignored the Ether Witch's objections.
Another 1/4 of the Mantis Demon expeditionary force was withdrawn to the Black Nest to wait.
To this.
The Ether Witch was shaking with anger.
But there is nothing I can do.
…
That night.
That was the night when Ripley reported that the demon-hunting team had arrived at Huanbi Mountain.
The uneasy witch mobilized all the troops at her disposal.
They brazenly launched a surprise attack on a weakly guarded battlefield in Huanbi Mountain!
This attack.
She almost brought her entire army forward.
This battle was extremely brutal.
final.
The mantis and the iron-eating beasts fought from midnight till dawn!
In the end, only corpses were left.
1/4 of the Mantis warriors died tragically.
She herself quietly returned to the vicinity of the Black Nest as soon as the battle started.
She hid in the shadows.
Decided to take out the last insurance for Hu Li.
no way.
Although she, like Ripley, felt that there must be something fishy behind the "demon exorcism".
But there are only so many things she can do!
Things have come to this.
She could only try her best to divert the other person's attention.
Then he tried his best to make the other party's conspiracy fail.
But what happened later.
But it was completely beyond the Ether Witch's expectations——
…
At dawn.
The 11-member demon-hunting team rushed into the seemingly weak black nest without hesitation!
Only a moment passed.
The witch, who had just completed mobilizing troops and ordered all the mantis demons to surround the Black Nest, suddenly sensed a powerful evil spirit erupting from the bottom of the Black Nest!
That is...
The resurrected Hu Li!
…
"Did they really resurrect Hu Li?"
The Ether Witch was surprised.
Between thoughts.
There was a huge roar coming from underground.
Crash!
A huge figure broke out of the ground.
It was a peerless demon king made up of pitch-black evil spirit!
Endless dust fell.
In the storm.
Hu Li was laughing wildly:
"Ignorant child!"
"You want to kill me with this little strength?"
"Interesting, this is so funny... Oh, it's a pity that I don't have a stomach, otherwise I would be laughed at by your stupidity!"
Between heaven and earth.
The terrifying aura of the evil demon spread out like a shadow.
The entire Taoyuan Mountain began to tremble!
…
"Thank you for the five innate treasures!"
"I never expected..."
"I have been working hard on this conspiracy for so long but failed to succeed in resurrecting myself. In the end, I was resurrected with the help of you idiots..."
"I can only say that destiny is in my hands!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
…
Listening to Hu Li's arrogant laughter.
The last taut string in the witch's heart also relaxed.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled with relief.
"Maybe they messed up?"
"Or maybe..."
"There is no conspiracy at all? Is someone really being stupid?"
She thought so.
Ripley, who was staying at the edge of the Black Nest, had the same idea as her.
Compared to the Ether Witch.
He saw more directly how this group of people were being stupid—
They actually took out Hu Li's body from the Black Nest so carelessly!
Isn't it obvious that this is a gift?
The two sides haven't even started fighting yet.
The seal of the so-called "Five Innate Treasures" was directly broken.
The evil demon Hu Li was resurrected with full health on the spot!
…
now.
Except myself.
The other 10 people were just staring at each other!
"Are you stupid?"
“Run!”
He couldn't help but spit out the word "green bull monster".
But the next second.
Hu Li's cold gaze was cast over!
Ripley was startled.
But then, in the surprised eyes of the others.
He raised his hands very calmly:
"Master Shamo."
"I am one of us..."
…
at the same time.
On the hillside east of Black Nest.
A figure suddenly walked out from the Mantis Guards.
He came to the side of Mantis Princess without saying a word.
The latter was slightly surprised.
Then he said thoughtfully:
"Outsider?"
The mantis scout nodded without hesitation.
The witch sneered and said:
"You are from the same organization, right?"
The Mantis Scout thought for a moment:
“I guess so.”
The witch couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Then your organization is really stupid."
The Mantis Scout said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."
"We have a lot of people."
The witch was slightly stunned.
Next second.
All the mantids behind her actually took a step forward.
They all looked at her.
Then he said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."
"We have a lot of people."
That scene shocked the witch!
She looked suddenly down the mountain.
But the 10-man team also looked at the lone Ripley with similar eyes!
…
"The demons are invading..."
"The demons are invading..."
"How is this possible?"
The witch couldn't help but lose her voice.
“Nothing is impossible.”
The mantids said in unison:
"The entire Taoyuan Mountain belongs to us."
"Your people?"
The witch frowned slightly.
Next second.
She seemed to have noticed something.
His eyes narrowed slightly:
"You are...Roger?"
"It's me!"
The mantids nodded graciously.
"What trick did you use?"
The witch looked at one of the scouts curiously:
"Crowd control? This ability can't last too long, right?"
Roger laughed softly:
"Whenever I want to."
"It can last a long time."
Hear this.
The witch finally couldn't stand the feeling of being stared at by so many sharp eyes at the same time.
She said a little irritably:
…
"So what if they are all yours?!
You released Hu Li!
All of you combined can't beat him!
…
hehe.
Let me guess -
Did you know my identity in advance?
So you want to use Hu Li's power to suppress me?
What a pity.
You've backfired!"
…
Speaking of this.
The Ether Witch looked at the evil demon in the distance who was venting his anger that had been sealed for many years.
Then he couldn't help but sneered:
"You didn't expect him to be resurrected directly, did you?"
The mantis demons all shook their heads:
"You think too much, ma'am."
"Who told you that Hu Li is no longer mine?"
The Ether Witch's expression changed.
She glanced at Hu Li.
I relaxed instantly.
His face was full of mockery.
…
"Well, it's certainly not yet..."
The Mantids said in unison.
After a few seconds.
"But now it is!"
This time.
Speaks with the Mantids.
And there is that evil demon who is high above!
The Ether Witch's eyes suddenly widened!
…
…
A few seconds ago.
Identity selection page.
All bubbles were popped cleanly.
on the data bar.
…
"The number of physical bubbles has been exhausted... A new round of identity refresh is in progress..."
…
"Refresh completed!"
…
What is different from before is.
There are only two physical bubbles refreshed this time.
And each of them has a golden halo.
At that time.
Roger calmly hugged each one.
on the data bar.
…
"You discovered the V-level monster template: the evil demon Hu Li"
…
"You discovered the Level V Spirit Template: Golden Carp"
…
…
