Chapter Fifty-Three: The Crazy Old Man Who Eats Demons
The vast ancient road, the ground space, Lingyun City.
The space of the ancient road where Lingyun City is located is relatively large, the stars here are rich, and the scarlet moon shines more condensed, and it was jointly attacked by the bear clan beast demon and the Wu Miao clan, one of the hundred tribes, about five thousand years ago. It has been jointly governed by the two clans so far.
Wu Miao is similar to the Terrans, but they advocate poison and Gu arts, like to study all kinds of messy things, and act both right and evil. They are accompanied by poisonous insects, rats and ants all year round, resulting in a relatively cold and independent temperament, and they only act according to their own preferences.
Sometimes they can slaughter a city in a fit of rage, and sometimes they will be happy to help the Terrans who are being hunted by youkai.
Because of their changeable personalities, neither the beast demon nor the hundred clans like them very much.
However, the Wu Miao tribe is very powerful, and their adult clansmen are at least of the ground rank, and there are several great sages in the clan, which makes all the clans hate and fear.
Because those who haven't reached the ground level are fed poisonous insects!
There is a secret place in Wumiao, called - Ten Thousand Poison Cave. There are countless poisons and gases inside.
Wu Miao will be sent to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave when he reaches the age of ten, and he will not be able to come out until the ground level. Such a cruel cultivation method has led to the fact that the entire Wumiao clan is a master, and of course, the number of clansmen has also become their hard wound.
Therefore, most of the space in Lingyun City is still active with beasts and demons.
Just five days ago, Lingyun City received a notice from above - wanted Terrans and Taoist priests riding white horses with a large number of children.
Originally, the demon king and the violent bear didn't care too much, the vast ancient road was so big, how could it be so coincidental to appear on his own territory?
But two days ago, a little demon reported that he had found a suspected wanted Terran in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest east of Lingyun City.
The violent bear was very depressed, and the Ten Thousand Poison Forest knew that it was related to Wu Miao when he heard the name.
The Ten Thousand Poison Forest occupies almost a quarter of the space of Lingyun City, the area is vast, and there are towering ancient trees everywhere, due to the great war of that year, this forest buried a large number of corpses, breeding countless poisonous gases and poisons, so this place was occupied by Wu Miao and transformed into their trial ground.
For thousands of years, this group of guys with a strange temperament didn't know how many poisonous insects they had made in it.
Generally, even venomous snake demons are reluctant to approach this forest.
However, there is a kind of poisonous bee living in this forest, the honey they brew is not only non-toxic, but also extremely sweet, and the honey of this peak can make people feel refreshed, which is a holy product for cultivation and detoxification.
Cultivators, whether they are human or demon, are all the essence of heaven and earth, aura, sun and moon, and go against the sky. Who can guarantee that they are pure in heart and have few desires? Who can guarantee that they will not go mad?
Especially the beast demons who love to kill, every year there are a large number of beast demons because of the absorption of the scarlet moon, their minds fluctuate, and the evil qi rises, resulting in the fire and demons, the light ones hurt their bodies, and the heavy ones lose their lives.
Bear demons are born to eat honey, and with the miraculous effects of honey, there are always some greedy guys sneaking into the forest. This news was brought back by a greedy little demon.
Storm Bear originally wanted to discuss with Wu Miao to lift the ban on the Ten Thousand Poison Forest and let himself bring someone in to search it. However, Wu Miao's group of old guys, all of them had a temper worse than the bear demon, and they shouted that the Ten Thousand Poison Forest was a place of trial for the young people of Wu Miao, and it was impossible to open it casually.
If you want to search, you can, just bring someone inside.
Do you dare?
For thousands of years, this strange race has not known how many poison arrays have been set up in it, how many poisons have been planted, and no less than a hundred greedy bear demons have died in it every year.
However, the honey of the poisonous bee is indeed delicious, and it is an addictive poison for the bear demon who loves honey. Even if you don't eat it, with the calming effect of honey, you can exchange some good things with others......
Now, two days have passed, and the news has spread, and the higher authorities have ordered themselves to investigate strictly, and have sent messengers to supervise their execution, and now the messengers are on their way.
"Someone, pass on the king's oracle, and gather all the idle demon generals above the bear demon. β
For a while, the roar of the monsters instantly resounded throughout Lingyun City, and they couldn't use their divine sense to transmit sound until they reached the Heavenly Rank, so most of the monsters relied on their own loud voices to communicate.
As the roar continued to spread far away, one by one the bear demons came out from all over the place and gathered towards the Violent Bear Cave Mansion in Lingyun City.
Looking at the black and oppressive subordinates in front of him, the violent bear suddenly became arrogant, our bear clan is the big clan among the beast demons, look at this lineup, all the demon generals, to say the least, there are three thousand. There are no less than twenty little demon kings, this is just idle monsters, and there are many people who are cultivating or doing other things behind closed doors.
Seeing so many of his subordinates, Storm Bear's confidence suddenly increased, and he suddenly remembered that there was nothing to fear in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, and he estimated that he had lived in the cave for a long time, and he was a little nervous.
So the violent bear waved his hand, and took a little brother into the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, since there is a messenger coming, he must personally lead the team to earn performance, in case the performance is good and is favored by the King of the True Dragon, then he will not fly Huang Tengda.
......
In the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, Lin Yan was very miserable at this moment. It's been five days since I came to this forest.
For five days there was a lack of food and water, and the people were hungry.
Finally found a place to drink water, was about to drink, but the sharp-eyed Ahri found that there were a lot of dead fish in the water, and after the identification of Phantom Feather, it was finally determined that the water was poisonous, as for what poison came from, it is unknown.
In the forest, Lin Yan found a lot of animals, although they looked strange, but they did not have demonic energy.
Lin Yan hunted and killed an animal that looked like a pig but had a hump-like sarcoma, thinking that he could get some meat, but as soon as the pig died, the hump on his back cracked, and the smelly black water flowed out, and all the plants and trees touched by the black water withered.
Then Lin Yan asked Ahri to lead the team, planning to find some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, this forest is densely vegetated, and there should be a lot of wild fruits.
But after a few days, all the wild fruits found were poisonous.
Even many of those ordinary plants and trees are poisonous, but fortunately, Ahri and the children of Cangyun City have survived in the wild forest since they were children, so they have avoided a large number of poisonous weeds.
More than 300 people, only one meal ate all the food in the phantom feather sleeves, these days Lin Yan and they are eating leaves, book skins and grass roots to persevere.
"Da Zongzi, there are so many poisons in this forest, will we die here? At this moment, Ahri has become a little flower cat again.
"Ahri, don't worry, we'll be fine. β
After eating the bark and grass roots for a few days, Lin Yan looked a lot haggard.
Not to mention that group of children, it is the time to grow their bodies, and their consumption metabolism is already fast, and they are listless at this time.
"Brother Lin, you have to think of a way, this lack of food and water, if you encounter a monster, you won't have the strength to fight. β
Phantom Yu was also embarrassed at the moment, his lips were chapped, his eyes were deep-set, and he looked like a complete refugee, no longer a beautiful Taoist priest. Since he was a child, Phantom Yu has never experienced this feeling of hunger, and in time in the wild forest, he also has wine and meat, and he is extremely chic.
With red eyes, he stared at the white dragon horse carrying Ahri, "Brother Lin, I think you should sacrifice this horse first." β
The fat ball is the image of the system, and it is okay to calculate that it is okay not to eat or drink, and it is still in good spirits at this time.
Hearing that Phantom Feather wanted to eat himself, the fat ball kicked him over with a direct back kick, making Phantom Feather even more embarrassed.
"Don't play the idea of a fat ball, it's my partner. β
Lin Yan was moving forward cautiously, thinking about how to inspire, looking at the group of children, Lin Yan had to find them a hope to hold on.
The vegetable seeds I planted before are ripe in exactly ten days today, and there are still a few hours to mature, and there may be unexpected surprises at that time. Even if you can't survive a stomach, you can barely hold on to your stomach!
Lin Yan thought of Cao Cao and thought of his Wangmei to quench his thirst.
So I adapted it and began to tell it inspiringly.
As he was talking, a teenager's nose twitched, and he suddenly shouted: "Report to Shangguan, I smell the smell of meat." β
Lin Yan looked at it, and he recognized this young man, who was on the city wall at that time, a crossbow boy running like a cheetah.
Lin Yan shook his head, this big forest, where is the smell of meat. It seems that Wangmei's thirst quenching has caused him to hallucinate.
Seeing Lin Yan's distrustful appearance, the young man said loudly again: "Shangguan, my mother died early, my father caught the female leopard demon with the cub on the head, I grew up drinking leopard milk, my sense of smell is not to mention that the leopard demon is sensitive, but it is definitely more acute than others, I can't smell the smell of two miles away." β
"Is this true?" Lin Yan actually believed it, and with his leopard-like agility and swift way of attacking, he was really similar to a leopard.
"I don't believe it, sir, you can let me lead the way and give it a try, anyway, we don't have a goal or direction. β
Lin Yan thought about it, it was true, it was better to let him give it a try.
"Okay, lead the way. By the way, what's your name?"
"Report to Shangguan, my name is Cheetah. My dad said he wanted me to be like a cheetah, running freely to catch prey. Cheetah said as he walked aisles, at the front of the line.
"Cheetah. Not a bad name, you will definitely become a great hunter in the future. β
In this world, the civilization of the human race is lost, and some people will choose names according to the surnames that have been circulated, but most people will choose names at will, as long as they like the meaning.
Just like Ahri is not surnamed Yan, and there is also the captain of Cangyun City who died in battle after his own name. First names are taken at random, not necessarily with the surname.
Under the leadership of the cheetah, everyone walked out of more than a mile in a short time, and the road was very smooth, without encountering a single poisonous insect rat ant, which was inconceivable for everyone who was constantly attacked by poisonous insects in the past few days.
At this time, although there were no suspicious people or monsters, the rich smell of meat had wafted through the air, and everyone could smell it, and for a moment the forest was filled with the sound of drumsβit was from a hungry stomach.
In the dense forest ahead, a faint firelight could be seen. Since there is fire, it proves that it is not a youkai, and youkai prefer to eat it raw.
"You wait for me here, I'll go and see the situation first"
Lin Yan crossed the crowd, and he was the only one here who still had combat effectiveness. Tai Chi in his body is transforming energy all the time, although it is very little, but at least he can still have the strength to fight.
Carefully past the poisonous weeds all the way, Lin Yan climbed an ancient tree and looked down through the dense leaves.
I saw that the forest was cleared out of a clearing, and a huge bonfire was burning on the clearing, and there was a huge bone of an unknown monster across the bonfire, and a huge bear demon was interspersed with the bone wound.
At this time, under the scorching heat of the bonfire, the golden grease continues to drip and make a slippery sound, and this is how the rich aroma comes.
Next to the fire, an old man was flipping over a giant bone.
The old man was hunched over, as thin as dry wood, and had a small goatee on his chin.
There was a string of beads hanging around his neck, and Lin Yan looked closely, what kind of beads it was, it was clearly a huge black python with round spots.
Lin Yan was shocked in his heart, a strange old man with a black python appeared in the forest full of poisons, and the old man actually roasted a whole bear demon.
Lin Yan is not until the demon qi corrodes the corpse severely, the bear demon is huge, generally more than five meters, to cramp and peel the skin of the five-meter giant bear before the demon qi corrodes, how fast is this?
This old man is not simple. Lin Yan thought so.
The golden bear demon meat seemed to have been tested for a long time, and the old man stretched out his hand as thin as a bird's claw, tore off a piece of meat from the bear's leg, and slipped it into his mouth, completely ignoring the hot steam.
Blinking his mouth, the old man shook his head, and then threw the golden roasted bear on the ground in a rage, and roared in a hoarse voice: "It's not this taste, it just can't be baked that taste......"
"Bastard, bastard......" The old man jumped like thunder, ripped off the black python around his neck, and squeezed the snake's head tightly, "Xiao Hei, why do you say I just can't bake that taste?"
The black python, which was pinched seven inches, writhed in pain, but it seemed to be very afraid of the old man, the black body with round spots, only dared to writhe on the ground and bring a puff of smoke and dust, but did not dare to entangle the old man's body.
The old man pinching the black was crazy, his feet were stacked, the earth cracked, and there was a strange black gas. He threw a punch with a fishy stench, and the trees in front of him withered......
"Forget it, you can't speak. The old man suddenly threw the black python on the ground, and ran to the roast bear demon fat with self-talk, and said like a madman: "Little bear, little bear, tell me how to roast you so fragrant, tender and sweet?"
Lin Yan's back was numb when he looked at it in the tree, could it be that this old man was a madman who went crazy?
