Chapter 204: The Dry Parrot Clan
It's the middle of the month, everyone should have a second monthly pass in their hands, ask for ticket support!
........................
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, gently pulled Uncle Ju's left hand, and his face changed suddenly.
I saw Uncle Ju holding a blood-red token in his left hand.
The surface of the token emitted bursts of faint red light, seeping into Uncle Ju's palm like a liquid.
"What's that?"
Shi Mu was slightly startled, hesitated, and carefully pulled the token out of Uncle Ju's hand.
The token was three inches in size, showing a rectangular shape, with a strange pattern depicted on one side, which looked like a monster with a humanoid ghost face, and on the other side was some strange fonts the size of a fly's head, which was by no means any kind of writing that Shi Mu had ever seen.
The blood-red token was held in his hand, and a cold feeling was transmitted, and the red light emitted touched Shi Mu's palm, but it did not penetrate into it like Uncle Ju.
Shi Mu looked at the token, shook his head, and was about to put the token back, looking at Uncle Ju's left hand, his expression changed.
Uncle Ju's left hand, at some point, became the same as the rest of his body, and the originally smooth skin was obviously relaxed, glowing blue and black, and began to emit a foul smell.
"How could it be? Could it be because I took off this token?" Shi Mu was stunned.
He glanced at the Blood Red Token, it was quite strange, and it looked like it should have the effect of keeping the corpse from rotting.
Shi Mu shook his head, although this thing looked good, but since it was a relic of Uncle Ju, he naturally wouldn't take it away casually, and put it back in Uncle Ju's left hand intact.
He slowly stood up, turned and walked towards the secret room.
Uncle Ju is a spirit level warlock, his identity is extraordinary, he died in his residence at this moment, as the first person to find out, he must report to the sect to know.
A moment later, Shi Mu walked out of the secret room passage. I came to the stone building.
"What's the situation down there, what's going on with that fat man?" As soon as Shi Mu came up, the parrot immediately flew over.
"Uncle Ju is dead, and the corpse is starting to decompose underneath. Shi Mu shook his head. He sighed.
The parrot's body stiffened when it heard this, and a slightly gloomy look appeared in its big eyes.
Shi Mu didn't pay much attention to the parrot, and walked out of the stone house quickly, walking towards the Sect Law Enforcement Hall.
Half an hour later, he and an old man in gray robes hurried to Uncle Ju's stone building residence.
This gray-robed old man is the referee in the big competition, the elder surnamed Zhen. He is none other than the Law Enforcement Elder of the Dark Demon Gate Law Enforcement Hall.
The two hurriedly walked into the stone building and came to the entrance of the secret room.
Shi Mu looked slightly stunned, the parrot didn't know where it had gone, and along the way, there was no trace of it in the stone building.
"Is this the place?" Just when Shi Mu was stunned, the gray-robed old man looked at the passage of the secret room and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Yes. Shi Mu came back to his senses and said.
The gray-robed old man nodded and stepped in.
The two soon came to the secret room, and the gray-robed old man saw the corpse of Uncle Ju. Somewhat moved.
With a wave of his hand, a cloud of white light emanated, enveloping Uncle Ju's corpse.
After a moment, the gray-robed old man raised his hand and dispersed the white light.
"Master Ju's nephew has been dead for a long time, it should have been almost a month. There were no signs of injury in the body, and the cause of death should be that the spirit had dissipated. The gray-robed old man groaned slightly and said.
When Shi Mu heard this, he was a little more convinced of his prediction.
The gray-robed old man turned his gaze and looked at Shi Mu. Asked:
"Nephew Shi, why did you come here today?"
"The disciple happened to come to visit Uncle Ju today, and after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, and found that the door was unlocked. So he came in without permission. I had studied the formation with Uncle Ju before, and I knew where his secret room was, but I didn't expect to see such a scene after I came in. Shi Mu said with a sigh.
"I see, thanks to you, otherwise it would not be long before the body of Master Ju's nephew was discovered. The gray-robed old man wanted to ask something more. But immediately seemed to think of something, and nodded directly.
"Elder Zhen has won the award, these are what I should do. Shi Mu said.
"I will inform the sect of this matter and take care of the aftermath for Master Ju's nephew. The gray-robed old man waved his hand and signaled that Shi Mu could leave.
"Elder Zhen, in fact, the disciple came to visit Uncle Ju this time to ask him for some venom that turned into a golden lizard and used it to refine talismans. The lizard in that cage is the golden lizard, and now that it is dead, can I take the poison sac in its body?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and his hand pointed to the silver cage on the ground beside him.
Hearing this, the gray-robed old man glanced at the golden lizard and nodded.
"Thank you, Elder Zhen. Shi Mu's face was overjoyed, and he bowed.
He opened the cage, pulled out the corpse of the golden lizard, took out a dagger, and carefully stabbed it into the left lower abdomen of the golden lizard, and made a cut with some difficulty, revealing the red and white lizard flesh inside.
Shi Mu had hunted a lot of lizards in the barbarian wasteland, and he was relatively clear about the internal situation of this demon beast.
The golden lizard is a metallic beast with solid flesh and no signs of decay.
Shi Mu rummaged for a moment, his face suddenly became happy, and he carefully slashed the lizard's lower abdomen with a dagger, and took out a fist-sized yellow ball, emitting a strange smell, which was the poisonous sac of the golden lizard.
His face was happy, he took out a jade box, carefully placed the poison sac inside, and put it into the dust ring.
"Thank you, Elder Zhen, for making it happen. Shi Mu stood up and saluted the gray-robed old man.
The gray-robed old man was looking at the body of the fat man at the moment, a little stunned, and only then did he recover when he heard Shi Mu speak.
"A little thing, Master Shi doesn't have to be polite. It's lifeless here, so it's not a good idea to stay long, so you'd better get out of here. Leave the rest to the old man. The gray-robed old man said.
"Yes. Shi Mu nodded, glanced at Uncle Ju's corpse, sighed again in his heart, and turned around and walked outside.
A moment later, he walked out of the stone building, his expression calm already restored.
The path of cultivation accompanies life and death all the time, and he is naturally not the kind of sentimental person.
He descended the mountain road, and not long after, the sound of wings fluttering came from behind him. A colorful parrot flew out of the woods near the mountain road and landed in front of Shi Mu, it was Cai'er.
"Cai'er, why did you come here?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.
"There was a stench everywhere in that room. Of course I won't be there any longer!" Cai'er exclaimed.
"Uncle Ju is dead now, why haven't you been automatically teleported back to your interface?" Shi Mu's heart moved, and he asked.
"Hmph! That fat man died suddenly, and I can't leave this world anymore and return to my original plane. Cai'er screamed. At the end of the day, there was a slight gloom in its eyes.
"There is such a thing?" Shi Mu was a little surprised, but he had some guesses in his heart.
As living creatures, this parrot and the golden lizard don't need to spend too much mental energy, so Uncle Ju kept them by his side for a long time and regarded them as pets.
Now that Uncle Ju has unfortunately fallen, Cai'er naturally can't return to the other interface on her own.
"And what are your plans for the future?" he asked.
"I don't know anyone here, so I'm going to recognize another owner. I see that you are still more pleasing to the eye, so I will follow you in the future. Cai'er flapped her wings and said.
"Follow me, no!" Shi Mu was stunned for a moment. Without thinking about it, he immediately refused.
This parrot is too noisy, and Uncle Ju also said that it has no other abilities except for being able to speak and has high intelligence, and it is definitely a big trouble to carry it with you.
"What! I'm going to follow you as a noble parrot, and you dare to dislike it!" Cai'er was furious, and she screamed.
"What is the use of you except for talking a lot?" Shi Mu rolled his eyes. Said angrily.
"Hmph, when the fat man said to you that Uncle Ben is useless, you believed it, it's really naïve! If Uncle Ben is so useless. How could that fat man summon me to this world at such a great cost?" the parrot scoffed.
"What do you mean?" Shi Mu was stunned when he heard this, and asked tentatively.
"The special ability of our parrot clan is that after signing a contract with you humans, we can use the power of the contract for a period of time. Share your horizons with each other. The parrot said proudly.
When Shi Mu heard this, his eyes widened, and his heart beat violently.
If what the parrot said is true, having such a spiritual pet is equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes.
And the parrot can fly, as a spy, it is very suitable.
"You're telling the truth, aren't you?" he asked slowly, after a pause.
"Naturally, I wouldn't lie to you. The parrot said disdainfully.
"If that's the case, you're really useful, and it's not impossible to follow me...... However, you don't hesitate to tell me about this ability, you must also choose to follow me, not just because you need someone to take care of you in this world, there should be other reasons, right?" he nodded slightly, and suddenly asked with a sudden turn of words.
The parrot's eyes rolled, and after a long moment it spoke again:
"Of course, I also have something I need you to do for me. ”
"What's the matter? Shi Mu said expressionlessly.
"Uncle Ben was deceived into this world by that fat man at the beginning, this is not my hometown after all. I can recognize you as the Lord and do what I can for you, but you must also promise to send me back to my hometown if you are strong enough in the future. The parrot looked rare and serious, and said.
"According to the three conditions that Uncle Ju told me, I don't have the coordinates of the different interface where you are now, and I don't have the remains of powerful creatures, how can I send you back?" Shi Mu was a little speechless.
"It's man-made, but you're not strong enough now, and when the conditions are met, you'll have a way!" said the parrot.
Shi Mu showed a look of surprise on his face, looked at the colored parrot in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded:
"Okay, then I promise you. ”
The parrot quacked twice, flapped its wings twice, and looked quite happy.
Shi Mu looked around, there were words in his mouth, and wisps of black light appeared in his hand, which quickly condensed into a black rune, which was the master-servant contract rune.
With a wave of his hand, black runes floated towards the parrot's head.
The parrot was also very crisp, allowing the runes to melt into its head.
Shi Mu's wisp of divine consciousness fused with the parrot's soul along with the contract rune, and the two minds also had a trace of connection. (To be continued.) )
