Chapter 237: The Real Crisis

"'Lackeys'...... Hmph, you're the least qualified to say that. ”

In the face of gluttonous provocation, Tubo did not get angry, but just sneered and sneered.

"After being a minion of mankind for hundreds of years, I think you have almost forgotten who you are. ”

"Hehe, even though I've been working for humanity for more than a hundred years, at least I haven't done anything stupid to harm others or myself. I'm not like you in this regard. Gluttony scoffed.

"Although I don't know when you were implanted with the 'Heart Curse', judging from this series of broken events, it is estimated that you were tricked long before the opening of the ghost market and were forced to be a gunman, right?"

"......" Tubo kept his face calm and did not speak.

"In fact, from the very beginning, you planned to seize the souls of those cultivators on the rivers and lakes and use them to support the 'Soul Suppression Stone'. The so-called 'Ghost Market Invitation' is nothing more than a bait, and the belly of the 'Scourge' is the best container to consume the mana of those cultivators and bury their lives. ”

Gluttony looked into Tubo's eyes and said slowly.

"It's a pity that the stomach of the 'scourge' was later cut off by me, and your goal was not achieved. But this soul is probably just an 'appetizer' for you, right? Because you have only one ultimate goal - and that is to capture the soul of the Divine Bird Three-legged Crow. ”

"Well, I felt like I'm sure he's coming. Tubo snorted coldly.

"Even if you're not sure, the person behind you is pretty sure. Because he knew that as long as he heard the clue of the 'Soul Suppression Stone', the three-legged black would definitely come, and it was impossible for him not to avenge the blue bird's revenge. Gluttony said. However, from this point of view, it also proves in disguise that the person behind this incident is the same as the one who set the blue bird in the first place. ”

"Blue Bird ......" Tubo's expression seemed to move slightly, but soon returned to that indifferent appearance.

"At the beginning, the blue bird was bewitched by the person behind the scenes, and finally fell into a ruined ending after being wiped out. I guess that guy will have to do the same thing after using you this time. Gluttony shrugged and continued.

"You...... When the time comes, not only will you lose the "ghost market" that you have worked hard for many years, but you will not even be able to save your life, and the so-called 'harm to others and yourself' is talking about a fool like you. ”

"Hmph, before you do that, you should take care of yourself. Tuber narrowed his eyes, seemingly unmoved. "At least compared to you, I haven't fallen to the point where I can't even break this light prison by being sealed with demonic power. ”

"Oh, are you so sure I can't get out?" said Gluttony, chuckling, looking at Tubo playfully.

"This light prison is specially customized for you, not to mention that your demonic power is sealed now, even if you were a century ago, it is impossible for you to escape from it alone. Tubo said coldly. "You'd better die of this heart. ”

"Heh, there's never the word 'dead heart' in my dictionary. You should have seen this a century ago. Gluttony glanced at the 'puppet undead' behind him, and then moved his gaze to Tubo's calm gray vertical pupils, as if there was something in his words.

"I'm not going to surrender so obediently. Your words...... I believe the same. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you trying to say that you want to escape from this light prison and show me?" Tubo looked back at the gluttonous eyes, his expression unmoved. "You're the only one?"

"Hehe, you're wrong. Glutton's eyes flashed.

"I didn't say, 'I'm the only one,'......"

"Roarβ€”β€”!

Before the words fell, a piercing and treacherous scream was like a cry of ten thousand ghosts, and suddenly roared without warning! In an instant, a cold aura mixed with some kind of mana fluctuation filled the sky over the entire ruins, and even the spell light prison around the gluttonous body became flickering in this sonic raid. However, what was even more surprising was that the sound wave did not have a half-effect on the gluttony in the light prison, but instead caused the originally silent 'puppet undead' in the corner to change slightly.

"Gala ......"

With a crisp sound, a crack gradually spread from the edge of the pale mask of the 'puppet undead', and I saw that the 'puppet undead's body seemed to shake a little, and even his footsteps became a little staggered in this sound wave. But at this moment, a red phantom suddenly fell from the sky, and before the 'puppet undead' could leave, he saw that the phantom had rushed in front of him, and stretched out his palm towards the door in front of him......

"Smack!"

A pale shard crumbled from the corner of the black shadow's skull-like mask, and in the sudden black wind, a godless brown eye appeared behind the torn mask, and in front of the eyes was the face of the glutton, which showed a rare look of surprise.

"......! What is this face!?"

"Whoa......

After only a moment of hesitation, the 'puppet undead' was instantly swallowed by the violent black mist, and when the black mist dissipated, the 'puppet undead' was nowhere to be found.

"Hmph, I specially gave you the opportunity to let you out, and I will miss it...... It seems that your strength is really not good anymore, gluttony. ”

Tubo's voice sounded faintly from behind the glutton, and I saw the gray-haired man looking at the glutton's back coldly, and his face seemed to be dissatisfied.

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't help myself because of this 'curse', I would never have let go of the 'puppet undead' who was watching me, and if he ran to ventilate and report the news, none of us would be able to eat and walk around!"

"......" gluttony didn't speak, he just stared in the direction where the 'puppet undead' disappeared, and his face gradually sank.

"Gluttony, gluttony...... The 'puppet undead' has run away, can the frog man's 'missing energy body' be recovered......?

A chubby toad crawled out of the rubble on the side, and it was none other than the ghost frog holding the "spirit flag".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Shut up. The gluttony finally retracted his gaze and said coldly. "Why did you come so late?"

"Yes, I'm sorry! Frog and Frog Strider were also preparing the 'Devil Crying Technique' before, otherwise it wouldn't be so slow...... Clucking......" Frog Moon twisted nervously, but then as if thinking of something, he quickly turned to Tubo in front of him.

"By the way, Tubo! Frog Stripper's 'Missing Energy Body' has entered your territory, you have to return Frog Stripper's things, or ......

"What else do you want?"

Tubo looked down at the frog who was covered in cold sweat, and the coercion in his eyes made the latter obediently shut up.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, I did participate in the hijacking of the 'Missing Energy Body', so it's no wonder that you ghosts came to me. After a moment of silence, Tuber finally relented.

"However, I want you to understand that I am not following their orders because I am afraid of my 'curse'. ”

Tubo stretched out his hand to brush the six-mang mark on his chest, and then cast a solemn gaze to the "Siyin Street" under the mountain.

"Look, the 'circle' below is becoming more and more obvious. ”

"Cluck...... That's, that's!''Soul Sucking Circle'!?" Frog Frog looked at the huge magic circle that was slowly looming at the bottom of the mountain, and his face changed suddenly.

"It's broken, it's broken! It's a big circle! This range is ...... It's almost all over the city!quack......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So, is this the 'real bargaining chip' that guy threatens you......" Gluttony stared at the blood-colored lines scattered throughout the town, the mockery on his face gone. "Who the hell is behind that?"

"That guy never really shows up...... Even when I was implanted with this 'curse of the heart'. Tuber clenched his fists, as if deeply humiliated by this.

"All subsequent instructions were conveyed through the 'puppet undead', including the Soul Snatching Project and the connivance with Poor Qi. I don't know what the relationship between Qiqi and the person behind the curtain is, but the two are by no means unrelated. ”

"Poor ......," the gluttony muttered, and his red eyes seemed to be a little colder.

"Moreover, their purpose this time is not only the three-legged black, if the other party activates the magic circle, not only all the members of my ghost city, but also the living beings of the entire county town will become the sacrifice of the 'Soul Stone'. Tubo said solemnly.

"Although I, Tubo, am not a decent person, I don't want to see the capital destroyed, and the reason why I am temporarily obeying their orders is that I hope to find a way to break the magic circle. ”

"But, but it takes a lot ......of energy to activate the 'Soul Sucking Circle', and where does the other party get this energy?"

"Don't forget, today is Qingming Festival. Tubo glanced at the frog and said coldly. "You don't know that you're a ghost, right? When the "Ghost Gate" closes at 0:00 tonight, it will be the moment when the concentration of the energy body in the entire capital is the highest. The person behind the curtain will definitely choose to activate the circle at that time, and if it is not stopped, I am afraid that it will ......."

"Rumbleβ€”β€”!

Another cold and ominous demonic aura erupted from the end of the "Siyin Street" in the distance, and this time the eruption was far more violent than the last one, and even the ground in the mountains was cracked in this demonic qi shock.

"Poor guy, did you go berserk?" Tubo's face changed slightly.

"This breath...... Jiang Yao's kid shouldn't be ......" Tao Tao frowned, then reached out to pick up the frog on the side, and quickly whispered a few words to it.

"Hey, really, really?" said Frog Stuttered, waving his little paws in panic.

"If you want to go, you can go, don't get out of here. ”

After saying that, with a flick of his hand, the poor frog was thrown far away, and disappeared into the mountain jungle in a blink of an eye.

"There's movement over there!"

"See! It's Lord Tubo!!"

"Master Tubo is there, hurry, go and help......"

……

As he spoke, the noise of the Elephant Serpent Force followed, and the gluttony glanced at the figures moving in the distance, and then moved his cold gaze to the crane-haired man in front of him.

"Before midnight, get everyone out of the city, not just your own 'Ghost Tooth Group'. ”

"Do you want me to unite with the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' and place the civilians of Xudu for refuge?"

"Hmph, whether it was intentional or not, your aiding and abetting is a fact. Gluttony stared at Tubo's silent face and said word by word. "If you don't want your 'Ghost Tooth Group' to be spurned by the world, I think you should know how to do it. ”

After speaking, the gluttony left Tu Bo, who was standing in place, and disappeared in the whistling of the demon wind.
