Chapter 181: Old Hatred

"Or in the trees, or in the water. ”

In the course of the battle, the White Queen, who did not help much, so judged.

"Yes, or in the trees or in the water, but how to find it again is obviously a big ......"

Zhao Yan nodded, but he was only halfway through what he said, when he heard a splashing sound, and then a huge and sturdy sludge monster came out of the water with a big stick.

Everyone glanced at it slightly, and there was no other movement.

"What kind of bird place is this, the mud in the water is actually thicker than my grandson, and that damn strange fish actually dares to thunder and lightning my grandson!

The silt monster that jumped out of the water let out a roar that was extremely angry, needless to say that these two goods were Sun Tianyang, who had jumped into the water earlier, and finally struggled out after a long time of fluttering at the bottom of the water full of leaf residue.

As he spoke, Sun Tianyang threw a strange loach-like fish that was two meters long and looked strange on the boat, and there was a pink fleshy bulge on the top of the fish's head, which crackled as it struggled, and small arcs continued to light up and go out.

Ouch, it's a kawaii electric eel.

Zhao Yan really stretched out his hand and pinched it, but after considering that there should be no parasites on his body, he gave up.

"Be careful, this is a thunderfish, it can even use the thunder light it stole from the Heavenly Father to kill the strongest fishermen or accidentally provoke their bulls. However, if this guy is boiled in kimchi stew, it will be delicious. ”

The White Queen introduced.

Are electric eels delicious?

This Zhao Yan really doesn't know, after all, before the crossing, he could basically call himself ** silk, and he really hadn't enjoyed such a high-end food as electric eel.

Great, that's it for today's lunch!

Zhao Erlang was very merciful and swung his sword down hard, causing the electric eel thunderfish, which had been ravaged by Sun Tianyang, to fall into an eternal sleep.

"Big Saint, apart from this fish, did you feel anything else big under the water just now?"

Zhao Yan, who killed the electric eel thunderfish, asked.

"I didn't feel anything else at all. ”

Sun Tianyang, who was busy cleaning his body, didn't even raise his head much when he answered.

"Well, got it. ”

Zhao Yan nodded, thinking that the demon tiger should probably not have dived underwater, he raised his head and looked into the air, those large aquatic branches and forks were entangled with each other, obscuring the sky and making him a little unsure what time it was.

The White Queen silently propped up the boat and arrived at the tree where the demon tiger had killed, and a huge cavity was blown open above the water of the tree.

From the cavity of the tree, there was a sickening, thick smell of corpses that everyone could smell.

Zhao Yan covered his nose and leaned over to check, and the cavity was indeed the same as the previous spirit tree, and the heart of the tree was changed to a state like a dried corpse.

Zhao Yan swung his sword and slashed down along the cavity, only a foot away, and the strange condition of dried corpses disappeared, and the things under the bark of the tree turned into normal wood fibers.

How exactly is this done?

Zhao Yan chopped along the edge and pondered, and before he could figure out the reason, the tree in front of him had already been cut into a shape similar to a cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, there are all the dried corpse-like wood fibers that have been alienated.

With a flick of his sword, the strange willow tree, which was already overwhelmed, fell down towards the boat.

The Spirit Dog Demon King stretched out his finger and pointed at it, and the strange willow tree that fell down suddenly reversed its direction and fell towards the water on the other side.

The strange willow was so leafy that it almost crushed a tree that was close to it when it fell, but it was only half its thickness.

This very accidental scene made Zhao Yan's heart flash in an instant.

It's just that when I try to catch it again, this bit of aura disappears without a trace, and I can't find what it is.

After all, this kind of thing is too normal, and there will be times in people's lives, but compared to the computer, the brain, which is extremely efficient at reading and writing, is always passive and forgets 90% of it.

"Guys, what do you think we should do next?"

So Zhao Yan, who gave up thinking, asked everyone for their opinions.

"What else?" the Spirit Dog Demon King stared at the place where the demon tiger disappeared with blazing eyes: "As long as you have enough patience, there is no prey that you can't catch." ”

Obviously, the meaning of the Spirit Dog Demon King is to wait.

Wait until the demon tiger, and no longer bear the loneliness of himself jumping out.

The others also had mixed opinions, so after some discussion, everyone's opinions were consolidated into one - while checking the traces of the demon tiger in the vicinity, waiting patiently.

It seems like a good idea.

As a good person, Zhao Yan supported and practiced this democratic resolution, so the trees closest to the place where the demon tiger disappeared quickly suffered.

Although it disappeared without a trace, the demon tiger still left some traces of its existence, and on the tree where it was pinned down by the one-armed sword queen of the water body manipulated by Wanwan, it left a large radial black slimy foul-smelling brain.

The black, foul-smelling brains snaked down the bark of the tree under the force of gravity, and eventually dripped into the water.

There were schools of fish that swam near the brains of the demon tigers dripping in the water, and one after another they floated to the surface with their white bellies.

"Corpse poison. The Spirit Dog Demon King rolled his eyes, and swept over the fish who were poisoned to death in ignorance without mercy: "That big cat has already died. ”

"It's already dead?" the White Queen was surprised: "How is this possible? The dead corpse may be transformed, but no matter how the corpse changes, it is absolutely impossible to send out Wu Gang!"

The White Queen had plenty of reason to question it, because she was talking about common sense - common sense in this world.

Can't the dead body send out Wu Gang?

Oh, that's not necessarily.

As a "witness" who experienced the invasion of gods and demons outside the sky more than 2,000 years ago in the Frozen Heavenly Pool, Zhao Yan clearly knew that the White Queen's doubts did not even need to be refuted, because the zombies he had seen with his own eyes were already more than a dozen.

But Zhao Yan didn't say much, but swung his sword and slashed at the tree, this time he violently slashed down with a sword, directly cutting off a section of tree trunk that was almost two meters wide, and cut off a layer at least two fingers wide.

Unfortunately, there was nothing in the tree, only clean, fragrant wood fibers.

"Maybe in other trees, cut them down one by one, I'd rather kill the wrong ones than let them go!"

The Spirit Dog Demon King said, his eyes were blazing at the other trees, although it only seemed that he was squatting on the wooden boat very casually, but everyone could see that if the demon tiger dared to appear again, the Spirit Dog Demon King would definitely react at the first time and launch a stormy attack.

Wanwan frowned slightly, the environment here is not suitable for the growth of trees, these trees have finally grown into towering trees, but they suddenly suffered such an unwarranted disaster, whether it is cut down or cut out of a big wound, and then want to grow and recover again, where is it so easy?

If...... The Wumu Roaring Forest Gun is still in the hands of the concubine, so it's fine.

Can't help it, Wanwan's heart flooded with this thought, the magic of the Wumu Roaring Forest Gun is not only that it can summon those mountain spirits and water monsters, but also can communicate with all animistic plants and trees.

Although the grass and trees must be described as slow to respond to the problem, it is better to be slow than to receive fatal damage, isn't it?

But in the end, Wanwan didn't say anything, because she also knew very well that she didn't have the Wumu Roaring Forest Gun now.

If Zhao Yan is stopped, it will inevitably make the demon tiger who will corrode the trees escape this pursuit and have the opportunity to continue to make waves, in that case, not only will new innocent people be killed, but more and more innocent trees will be harmed by it.

In the graceful silence, the trees that might hide the demon tiger were approved by Zhao Yan to make them reveal their tracks.

But every tree is innocent, and its trunk is healthy except for a few moth-eaten holes.

"It's so strange, where is it hiding? A guy who can even give up his brains, there's no reason why he can be so cunning, right?"

As a traverser, Zhao Yan really still maintains some materialistic thinking patterns, and he subconsciously believes that the organ that directs the body's actions is the brain.

"No, Erlang, the corpse monsters after the corpse transformation don't rely on those poisonous rancid brains to act, their distorted evil souls are the key to making them still able to act as when they were alive. ”

This time, it was Jiang Xinyue, who could only watch from the sidelines in the previous battle.

As a healer, Jiang Xinyue can almost be regarded as a person without combat effectiveness, but no one will consider her a superfluous burden.

"Twisted evil spirits?"

Zhao Yan repeated this word, and then suddenly remembered that in the earth world, although a large number of classic horror movies have been produced, there are huge differences between Western zombies and Eastern zombies.

Ninety percent of the zombies in the West are basically the products of science fiction, and the corpses that died due to some kind of virus infection are resurrected from the dead to become brainless monsters who only want to devour flesh and blood, so as long as they blow their heads, they can be killed.

With the proliferation of traditional zombie films, the audience needs new ideas and heavier tastes, so zombies that have merged with vampire legends and regained their brains have gradually appeared, and they are full of love with the protagonists or simply grab the protagonist's throne by themselves, and soak the living human hot girls who should have been used as food by them.

But the Oriental Zombies were different from the beginning, although they were also full of thirst for blood, but they still had the ...... in the movie Soul.

To be exact, it should be "distorted evil spirits".

Therefore, these zombies can't be treated as dead and resurrected corpses, such as the demon tiger who escaped after being shot in the head just now.

"I have some belief that this demon tiger is the former Tiger Zen Master. ”

Because he understood this truth, Zhao Yancai said thoughtfully.

As he spoke, Zhao Yan put the Eight Desolations Experiential Sword back into its sheath, because he had clearly understood that by cutting down trees, it was probably impossible to find out the corpse-transformed demon tiger.

Zhao Yan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xinyue, he actually wanted to know the demon tiger after the corpse transformation, even if there was still an inner pill in his body, but whether the inner pill could still be used as medicine to treat the damaged martial veins of his golden thigh brother Zhao Pu.

But it is obviously a little bit inappropriate to ask this kind of question now.

"Yes, the possibility is really very large, the Tiger Zen Master lived in the mountains and wilderness until he was only thirty-seven years old, living a life of fighting and surviving fierce beasts, and his soul must be full of memories of how to escape safe and sound when he encountered an invincible beast. ”

It was Wanwan who spoke out to support Zhao Yan, and she also knew a lot of things in the past because she was well-read.

As for Jiang Xinyue, she was busy pouring out the pills from a small amber jade bottle and distributing them to everyone separately.

Although everyone is strong in martial arts, but in this place where corpse poison is rampant, it is better to take some medicine that can clear the corpse poison first.

Zhao Yan also returned to the boat, took a pill from Wanwan's hand, tilted his head and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Speaking of which, I don't really know much about the life and deeds of the Tiger Zen Master, can anyone help me clear up this doubt?"

Zhao Yan, who had been busy for a long time, sat down near the bow of the boat, and he was really a little tired.

Wanwan and Jiang Xinyue subconsciously glanced at each other, and finally Jiang Xinyue smiled at Wanwan and nodded, which obviously meant to let Wanwan answer.

"He's a natural villain! If the big cat that turned into a corpse just now was really him, I wouldn't mind spending some effort to make him completely dead. ”

The one who said this was obviously not Wanwan or Jiang Xinyue, but the spirit dog demon king who was squatting at the bow of the ship, with his back to everyone?

"Oh, why do you say that......? Demon King, do you know the Tiger Zen Master?"

Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at the Spirit Dog Demon King who was almost back-to-back with him in surprise.

"Know, heyβ€”more than just knowing! You don't want to know that that brute owes me a lot of blood!"

The Spirit Dog Demon King didn't look back, but just stared at the water in front of him with his eyes full of murderous intent, and the killing intent revealed in his words made Zhao Yan, who was facing away from him, even feel uncomfortable as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Although Zhao Yan didn't want to know, the Spirit Dog Demon King, who opened the chatterbox, quickly told him about the festival between him and the Tiger Zen Master, and the 1510 peace plate.

That was many years ago, when the Spirit Dog Demon King was in the prime of life, and there were two twin sons who had already shown their prominence in the Songhai Mountains, and those two lovely children had even passed the most difficult cultivation period, and had enough to make most monsters envious, the ability to speak like humans.

For youkai, being able to speak like a human is not just a simple matter of being able to communicate directly with people, it also means that the demon veins in the bodies of these youkai have been formed and can begin to condense the real demon pill.

Before this, although the monsters could also absorb the sun essence and moon flowers, and they seemed to be cultivating the demon pill, it was just a virtual thing, and it was not of greater help to the monsters except for the training skills and extremely inefficient storage of some spirit elements.

The words of the spirit dog demon king were: "Therefore, among you humans, there will be a legend that someone unintentionally encounters a fox, a rabbit or any other animal, swallows the demon pill in a no-man's land, and then is chased by wild dogs or even domestic dogs and loses the demon pill." Why is this happening? It's very simple, the monsters who have those bullshit demon pills are not at all in the stream......

I see?!

Oops, that's interesting.

Zhao Yan suddenly remembered that in fact, before the time travel, in order to enrich his knowledge reserves or set the background worldview for Xianxia games, he was sure to look up the ghost fox legend similar to that mentioned by the Spirit Dog Demon King.

However, in these similar stories, those "scholars" who discovered this kind of thing and provided help to the monsters who were robbed of the demon pill will most likely get a cross-racial heavy love in the future.

There is no way, these absurd and unlegendary recorders are those sullen scholars, and it is normal for them to bring themselves into the story with a sullen meaning.

And most people have fantasized about this kind of thing in their minds, which is nothing more than that the loyal just think about it, and the debauchery puts it into action.

Oh...... Thoughts roll a little farther.

Zhao Yan shook his head and pulled his thoughts back, and the Spirit Dog Demon King was still describing his two genius twin sons who were unique in ten thousand in a voice full of remembrance and pride.

The Spirit Dog Demon King originally thought that his two sons, who made him full of pride, would grow up quickly in a more advantageous environment than him, and grow into a new demon king who was more powerful than him.

But this beautiful wish was ruthlessly interrupted with the appearance of that damn Tiger Zen Master!

On that day, the Tiger Zen Master who secretly sneaked into the mountains of Songhai attacked the most beloved twin sons of the Spirit Dog Demon King.

The Tiger Zen Master succeeded, so those two good boys, who were full of infinite possibilities, fell under the despicable attack of the Tiger Zen Master, and even their skin was peeled off whole, and the demon pill they had worked so hard to cultivate was also brutally dug out of their bodies.

It took three years for the Spirit Dog Demon King to determine that the murderer was the Tiger Zen Master.

Therefore, the Spirit Dog Demon King spent a whole decade planning, and finally killed the Tiger Zen Master and ...... in one fell swoop The whole family of the Tiger Zen Master, including two vicious guards.

"Ah, that bloody case turned out to be ......"

The Spirit Dog Demon King did not say whether it had humiliated and destroyed the corpses of the Tiger Zen Master and his entire family like the Tiger Zen Master, but judging from Wanwan's obviously surprised reaction, the scene when the Tiger Zen Master and his entire family died probably needs to be described as tragic.

Zhao Yan's attention was not this, he noticed that the Spirit Dog Demon King had actually inadvertently leaked out just now, and the family formed by the Tiger Zen Master actually seemed to be secretly making a contribution.

The Spirit Dog Demon King could have taken revenge on the Tiger Zen Master earlier, but he has been suppressing the sky-high hatred in his heart, gritting his teeth to "help" the Tiger Zen Master form a family, gritting his teeth and watching the Tiger Zen Master's child croaking to the ground, and gritting his teeth to see the Tiger Zen Master and his child establish a father-son friendship that is thicker than water, and then finally launched a bloody revenge on the other party.

To be honest, this discovery actually made Zhao Yan shudder a little, and he even remembered what the Spirit Dog Demon King said before-

"With enough patience, there is no prey that you can't catch. ”

If you are used as a prey by the Spirit Dog Demon King, it is simply infinitely terrifying.

"It's a pity that after so many years, I haven't been able to recover my children's skins and demon pills, and I only found out that the Tiger Zen Master was hired by a mysterious person to kill my children, and that mysterious person may have come from Jiuchu. Before I could further investigate, my wife and children ...... again."

When he said this, the voice of the Spirit Dog Demon King became stalked, and he raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand.

"No one can survive after hurting my family! They must die! There is not even a scum left of the dead! Even if it is a god, it is one, one, the same!"

The monstrous hatred erupted from the body of the Spirit Dog Demon King, and with his hateful words, the water surface under the small wooden boat was like the calm water surface where someone had thrown stones, and a wave of deep ripples appeared!

"That mighty spirit god is also the enemy of all of us, so this time the demon king, you are not fighting alone. So, please relax first, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, we need to slowly build up our strength first. ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly comforted the Spirit Dog Demon King, because he felt that if he continued to let the Spirit Dog Demon King go untreated, the Spirit Dog Demon King might lose control of his emotions again.

In that case, it shouldn't be life-threatening, but it will be more troublesome.

And in general, Zhao Erlang is a person who is afraid of trouble.

Fortunately, in Zhao Yan's comfort, the spirit dog demon king's mood really slowly stabilized again.

"I'm fine. The Spirit Dog Demon King, who still hadn't looked back, said, "Don't worry, what I have is patience." ”

Then, the Demon King of the Spirit Dog stopped talking, and he just stared at the water in front of him as he crouched in the bow of the boat, quietly waiting for his prey to appear again.

And the boat fell into a state of silence because of this, and after a while this silence was broken by the White Queen, who had accidentally listened to the secret.

"Yan Shao, I have a question that I desperately want to know. ”

So said the White Queen.

"If you ask, if you can, I'll answer. ”

Zhao Yan responded like this, and his subtext was obviously to say that if he didn't want to answer the question asked by the White Queen, he wouldn't answer it.

"I want to know, Yan Shao, who has been appointed as the envoy of the southern pacification, really doesn't plan to choose a tribe to garrison like your predecessors, but to rebuild that Tibetan Pavilion City?"

The White Queen, who got permission, asked.

"I've already had people do the work of rebuilding Zangge City, oh yes - it's now called Jiankang City. ”

Zhao Yan smiled, this question was within the scope of what he could answer.

"But in this case, there will be many people in Jingyun Mountain who will think that Yan Shao is ......"

The White Queen, who had received an answer, seemed to intend to say something more.

But at this moment, a silver bell-like laughter like a girl's coquettish "cluck, cluck-" came from the canopy of a large tree behind the side of the boat.

Because he happened to be sitting backwards, Zhao Yan almost immediately saw that it was not a human being who made a girl's laughter, but ...... Bird.

A bird with a fur as red as blood and a size like a peacock. rs
