Chapter 177: The Reward for Detoxification
In the only four-story wooden building in the battle outpost where Ye Kui and the others were originally located.
"Mr. Duan, things are going as you planned now, and you may be able to capture that Qilin Demon Cultivator in two days."
A certain young commander in the battle post stood at Duan Zong, who was looking out of the window.
"Xia Chang, don't say that things are going so smoothly, otherwise I might really go to rest with peace of mind, and now Ouyang Shiping and the other three commanders should not even have finished the first step
The monks in the battle post had beaten those demon cultivators too painfully, and the opposite side had already shrunk back, which would make it a little difficult to send a victory to a group of injured demon cultivators."
Duan Zong, the steward of this battle outpost, didn't listen to the sycophants of the commanders around him.
"Mr. Duan, please rest assured, the situation will definitely be better than the last time, the last batch was just an accident, so this time we sent Ouyang Shiping and the other three commanders to manage the more than four hundred monks, there should be no more chaotic horses."
"The problem is not this, this time I have already told Ouyang Shiping that the four of them can be ruthless to their own people, and they don't have to show mercy to their subordinates, I am at least worried that in case those demon cultivators dare not fight, they will turn around and run away
Then things may get troublesome, but if they don't lose a game in embarrassment, and win a game happily, how can that arrogant Qilin demon cultivator accept those demon cultivators?"
After making a mistake, Duan Zong thought about it a lot this time.
"Since Mr. Duan has said so, then you must have passed on this unexpected plan to Ouyang Shiping and the other leaders, right?"
"That's right, if you just do that, none of the more than 400 monks who simply went to the opposite side of the deep valley to kill demons and cultivate to earn spirit stones may not be able to come back."
"Why should Mr. Duan care about the lives of those monks? What we have to do is much more important than the lives of these monks, and if we are not careful, we may once again trigger a great war between the demon cultivators of the north and the monks of the south."
"Xia Chang, you didn't have this attitude a few decades ago, then you would still intercede for those monks, and you would even openly oppose my Duan Sect in front of other commanders."
Duan Zong turned to look at the chair that had walked over to a table and sat down, on which was a detailed map of the boundaries of the area on either side of the deep valley.
"That's because I didn't know much before, but I saw more similar things later, and I gradually got used to it, and besides, you often tell us that we have to turn things over and look at them, and we can't just look at the trivial things that stand in front of us, which will affect our judgment.
Now, if I had to make a little more progress at that time, I might not be able to continue to stand here today, but I still have to thank Mr. Duan for his magnanimity and patience."
Commander Xia Changxia, who was standing on the edge of the table, looked indifferently at the stack of booklets on the table that recorded more than four hundred monks, including Ye Kui.
"It's all about the same, but I'm still curious, will the blood of the Qilin Demon Cultivator really be as magical as the rumors? Hopefully it's more useful than the blood that comes from somewhere, otherwise how are we guys going to live?"
"Duan... Mr. Duan said cautiously, be careful that the wall has ears, this kind of big secret should not be said casually."
At this time, Commander Xia was so nervous that he subconsciously walked a few steps towards the table, and then raised his palms and sat down in a downward motion.
Immediately, the monks in the entire wooden building who were busy with the things at hand suddenly felt a divine thought, but after discovering that it was from Mr. Duan, the monks in the wooden building acted as if nothing had happened.
"Don't be nervous, I'm the only one in this battle outpost I'm in charge of, and you're also one of the only two Enlightenment Realm monks in the battle outpost, if any monk dares to touch his hand here, then I'll naturally find out."
Duan Zong saw that Xia Changxia was so cautious, and he had no choice but to say a word of comfort.
"Mr. Duan, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, even if you will punish me, but I still hope that Mr. Duan will not talk about the previous incident casually, those adults above will be very unhappy, and they may make a move on you at that time."
」
Xia Chang finally put down his doubles, and then said to Duan Zong seriously with a dark face.
"Haha, it's not in vain that I'm so attentive and relieved to you, this is the first time I've been careless, and it will definitely not be like this in the future."
Duan Zong assured Xia Chang with a smile.
"Alas~ Mr. Duan, you really have to pay attention next time, but you really can't talk about it carelessly."
Xia Chang looked at the boss on the other side of the table with a hippie smile, even if he understood Duan Zong's various methods and part of his thoughts.
However, this Xia Changxia Commander couldn't help but prune his face and sighed, thinking that he shouldn't have listened to Duan Zong in the first place, and joined that big plan that I didn't know whether it was good or bad.
And the situation on the side of Ye Kui and the other four hundred monks has also changed.
Originally, the more than 400 monks who came to the northern side of the Tianque Continent could easily deal with the demon cultivators, but the monks were killed by the demon cultivators, and they suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the four commanders who should have come forward in time to stabilize the more than 400 monks hid in the distance, watching the monks being killed by demon cultivators as if watching a play.
"Shiping, you lit those incense incense so quickly?"
I don't know when one of the four commanders who hid in the hidden place asked Ouyang Shiping next to him in a low voice.
"Commander Tan, I heard from the other Daoists in the battle outpost that the demon cultivators who retreated here were not lightly injured, so in order to ensure that the first step of the plan can be completed as soon as possible, I can only walk ahead and take the rice incense that Mr. Duan personally handed over to me that can temporarily make the monks drowsy."
Ouyang Shiping explained to Commander Tan Xucheng who had just asked him.
"If it weren't for the fact that the four of us had already taken the special elixir in advance, then we might have fallen even while walking, let alone dealing with those demon cultivators."
"That's the case, then we only need to wait for the injured demon cultivators to dispose of all the four hundred monks, and then one of us will stay here, and the other three will follow the demon cultivators who have left here."
"Hehe, just now those monks also said that they would take dozens or hundreds of demon cultivators' heads back to the Linzhan outpost in exchange for a large number of spirit stones, and I didn't say anything at that time, just asked the monk to cherish the time, and then the monk looked at me with a puzzled expression."
The three commanders who are speaking now are Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Xuan, and the three commanders of the battle post are talking about their thoughts and discussing the next plan while watching those monks being killed by demon cultivators.
"Just be happy for a while, we still have business to do, now that more than 400 monks have died, there are dozens of monks trying to desperately escape and stubbornly resist, you three have found out, there are still a few powerful among these dozens of monks."
Ouyang Shiping interrupted the conversation of the other three commanders.
"Shiping, what do you care about? When they are all dead, we will go over, don't say which one you have a love for, besides, you are not Mr. Duan, and the kind of person who leads Xia is not something that can be found everywhere."
Commander Tan Cheng and Tan kindly reminded Ouyang Shiping.
"Commander Tan is right, and what is more, Mr. Duan is very concerned about this operation, and we don't want to mess up Mr. Duan's plan because of personal matters."
Gu Hongchuan and Commander Gu also wanted to persuade Ouyang Shiping not to act without authorization.
"Anyway, don't affect Mr. Duan's plan."
The last to speak was Commander Pan Xuan.
"I understand what the three of you commanders said, but I always feel that the monk named Ye Kui can try to win him over, and if it doesn't work, I will solve him with my own hands."
In the final analysis, Ouyang Shiping still wanted to imitate Duan Zong, in the past, Ouyang Shiping seemed to imitate Duan Zong's tone of speech, but now Ouyang Shiping wants to imitate Duan Zong and Xia Chang's relationship between Bole and Maxima.
And now Ouyang Shiping treats Ye Kui as a maxima, and Ouyang Shiping himself is Bole.
However, Ouyang Shiping had no idea that when he revealed some things to Ye Kui, he wanted to pull Ye Kui to the side of the battle outpost
camp, he may take his life.
"Have I and these monks been poisoned? I had just fought with those demon cultivators for a while, and I felt as if my brain had been filled with molten iron, and it was hot and dizzy."
Just now, after Ye Kui noticed the strangeness of himself and the other monks, he immediately took advantage of the chaos to hide in a dense bush, and then took out the Immortal Diagram and entered the world in the painting.
Now it is still so quiet in this leafless black forest with heavy snow, and the martial artist Bi Tuo, who was dragged here by Ye Kui before, is also so dead that even his clothes and bones are gone.
And the moon blade demon mantis climbed from Ye Kui's clothes to Ye Kui's shoulder at this time, and then Ye Kui took out a wrench and put it on his thumb, and a large amount of aura poured into Ye Kui's body from that wrench.
"It seems that because of your use as a carrier, you are not affected by the world in the painting of this detachment, but my current situation is a bit complicated.
Before, it seemed that my brain was filled with molten iron, and it became hot and dizzy, but now it seems that the molten iron is gradually cooling and solidifying, and my head hurts terribly, if it is a spell effect, then I can unravel it.
But now it must have been poisoned, and it is not the poison that directly affects my spiritual power and immortal veins, but it directly affects my brain."
Ye Kui glanced at the Moon Blade Demon Mantis, and couldn't help but cover his head with one hand, after all, it really hurt a lot.
Then, Ye Kui felt that something wanted to crawl from the back of his neck to the top of his head, so Ye Kui stretched out his free hand and grabbed the Moonblade Demon Mantis in his hand without thinking about it.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Kui lowered his head and looked at the Moon Blade Demon Mantis that was caught among his five fingers, revealing only a small crimson head.
After a while, Ye Kui understood the meaning of this moon blade demon mantis.
"You want to help me with my headaches? Then you can tell me the method directly, without shaking your head and nodding or raising your hand to make all kinds of gestures, I can know part of the meaning you want to express through the aura state in your body as a carrier."
Ye Kui said to the Moonblade Demon Mantis standing on his outstretched palm.
"Cut both sides of me and let some blood? What you're saying is dangerous."
The Moon Blade Demon Mantis actually wanted to use a small white scythe blade to cut two wounds on Ye Kui's head, and then use its demon power to help Ye Kui force out the poisonous blood that had gathered in his head.
"But now I seem to have to try to trust you, but to be on the safe side, I'd better keep one hand first, lest you take your life away."
After Ye Kui finished speaking, he directly controlled the Moon Blade Demon Mantis, which was the carrier of the stored aura, making its movements sluggish by about half.
"Now it's time to get started."
So Ye Kui put the Moonblade Demon Mantis on his head, and then the Moon Blade Demon Mantis walked close to Ye Kui's forehead, then raised his arms and slowly unfolded the white blade sickle aimed at both sides of Ye Kui's forehead and hoeed down.
After that, there were more blood stains in the snow where Ye Kui was standing, which was almost all black.
"I didn't expect you to really have a hand, I thought you had something else in mind, as for the reward, give me some time to think about it."
After Ye Kui finished speaking, he also pressed the head of the Moonblade Demon Mantis standing on his shoulder with his fingers.
"You should come back and hide for the time being, don't let other monks and demon cultivators see you for the time being, but you should have also sensed the aura of demon cultivators before, after all, I have just come to the north of the Tianque Continent, that is, the realm where demon cultivators live.
I also found out before that you tried to climb out to take a look, but in the end I held back, in fact, you did the right thing, because those demon cultivators are not strong, and they are also injured, and even if you come out, you will cut vegetables indiscriminately, and you will soon get bored."
Ye Kui said that, he once again put the Moonblade Demon Mantis into the arms of the clothes on his chest.
"Then it's time for me to go out and check the situation, but those monks who came here with me to kill demons and earn spirit stones may be more than lucky, after all, even I almost can't bear this inexplicable dizziness and headache."
After this, Ye Kui finally walked out of the Immortal Diagram and returned to the bushes from before
A bit farther away.
"It's over so quickly? Did Ouyang Shiping and the other three commanders also die at the hands of those demon cultivators along with more than 400 other monks?"
Ye Kui saw through the gap in the bushes that there were many corpses on the ground in the distance ahead, including monks and demon cultivators, but the corpses of monks accounted for about ninety and five, and the corpses of demon cultivators could be said to be negligible.
"I seem to have forgotten something extremely important!"
Ye Kui only then remembered how he should go through the magic circle in the deep valley and return to the south of the Tianque Continent?
"At first, I thought that I could come here smoothly, and then return to the battle post smoothly to receive the spirit stone, so I directly forgot about the way to go back.
Now that Ouyang Shiping and the other three commanders, as well as the monks who came here like me, have all been wiped out, how can I contact the monks at the battle outpost to get them to reopen a passage in the circle?"
Ye Kui was a little worried that he might stay in the north of the Tianque Continent all the time and never go back in the end.
"But there should be hope, I can go to the original place where we came here and wait, maybe the outer monks from the battle post will return here, and then I may be able to follow them out of here."
Ye Kui thought about it carefully, maybe things still had a turn for the better, so Ye Kui was about to return the same way, but was blocked by a person.
"Commander Ouyang, are you still alive?"
Ye Kui thought it was Ouyang Shiping, one of the four leaders who were responsible for commanding Ye Kui, one of the more than 400 monks.
"That's right, Ye Kui, you can hide better than us, can you say that the incense is useless to you?"
When more than 400 monks were all killed by the demon cultivators, Ouyang Shiping thought that Ye Kui was dead, but he did not find Ye Kui is corpse, and finally thought that Ye Kui fell into the deep valley alive and said that he was eaten by the demon cultivators.
As a result, he saw Ye Kui who appeared in front of him alive.
"Ouyang Shiping, are you poisoning me and the other monks? Did the other three Commanders also die with you?"
Ye Kui hadn't learned the real situation yet, so he could only guess based on his own understanding of Ouyang Shiping.
"Ye Kui, put those things aside for the time being, let's talk about some more interesting and important things."
Ouyang Shiping was the monk who stayed here to pick up the battle post that came after that, and led the way for them.
"You want to kill me?"
"Ye Kui, won't I talk about things, listen to my explanation first."
"Ouyang Shiping, what other tricks do you want to play?"
Ye Kui felt that this Ouyang Shiping was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
"Ye Kui, do you need a lot of spirit stones like other monks? I was the same before, that's why I came to the Linzhan outpost, and then I was like you, following the leader of the Linzhan outpost through the magic circle to deal with the demon cultivators, and then I was going to return to the Linzhan outpost to receive the spirit stone..."
Ouyang Shiping didn't care what Ye Kui thought, but began to tell Ye Kui part of the story of his coming to the battle outpost.
At that time, Ouyang Shiping also came to this battle post alone like Ye Kui, and also encountered a similar thing in the deep valley and cliff in the north of the Tianque Continent, but at that time, the group of monks that Ouyang Shiping was in was not so tragic after fighting with the demon cultivators.
After returning to the Linzhan outpost, Ouyang Shiping got his share of the spirit stone as he wished, and after that, Ouyang Shiping chose to stay at the Linzhan outpost.
As time passed, Ouyang Shiping gradually learned some of the inside story of the Linzhan outpost, and step by step to the position of some of the management of the Linzhan outpost.
Of course, after the death of the previous one of the commanders, it was Duan Zong who deliberately let Ouyang Shiping, who was not yet qualified, to become the commander, so Ouyang Shiping gradually became one of Duan Zong's henchmen.
"Commander Ouyang, what you said is what you want to say from above, or did Duan Zong, the steward of the battle outpost, ask you to do it?"
Ye Kui listened to the story told by Ouyang Shiping and then asked.
"You'll know if you have the chance, but it's up to you to choose later."
"Ouyang Shiping, what did you choose directly?"
"Ye Kui, with your current ability and talent, you are popular wherever you go, and I, Ouyang Shiping, also think that I am inferior to you.
If you are willing to join our battle post and obey me to command, I will explain the situation to Mr. Duan for you when the time comes, and there will be no problems."
"Oh? In that case, then why should I take the extra step to listen to you? Wouldn't it be better for me to go directly to that Duan Zong Mr. Duan, and you also said that I am Ye Kui better than you, and you Ouyang Shiping can be the commander, so why should I be inferior to you?
We should be on an equal footing, or in the future, my status in the battle post will be higher than you Ouyang Shiping, of course, provided that the vision of that Duan Zong Duan in the mouth of Commander Ouyang is not outrageous."
Ye Kui tried to provoke the anger in front of Ouyang Shiping, so that the other side could inadvertently spit out more and more useful truths.
At the same time, Ye Kui's collar suddenly moved, as if something was quickly crawling from Ye Kui's chest to Ye Kui's back, but unfortunately Ouyang Shiping on the opposite side didn't notice this scene that was even slighter than falling leaves floating past Ye Kui's side.
"Ye Kui, you! You don't know what to do, you have to eat the food one bite at a time, you want to swallow it all night, you surprise others, and you are still uncomfortable."
Ouyang Shiping was already a little angry, but he held back for the time being, he thought that Ye Kui would restrain himself like he used to and try to be a low-key person, who knew that this Ye Kui would be more proud than he looked.
"Forget it, I've already guessed something, Ouyang Shiping, you're definitely not here to wait for me or the more than four hundred monks, are you waiting for those monks in the battle outpost?"
"What does this have to do with you, an outsider? It seems that you don't understand my sincerity at all, so you don't have the value of living, and I pleaded with the other three commanders for you before, it seems that my expectations for you Ye Kui are too high."
"What else does Commander Ouyang have to say?"
Ye Kui felt that he should also make some retribution to Ouyang Shiping for the thing that he had almost been tossed by Mixiang before, if it weren't for Ye Kui, he could enter the Immortal Diagram to hide, plus the Moon Blade Demon Mantis helped detoxify.
Then the current Ye Kui may have died in the hands of those demon cultivators like other monks who were deceived to this side by the battle outpost.
"It seems that the matter will not be negotiated, but I don't believe that you can get away with the first incense, and you can continue to avoid the second time."
Ouyang Shiping didn't know when he had already rekindled a half-burned incense, and the air was already full of this incense.
Seeing that Ye Kui was still unmoved, Ouyang Shiping was also a little puzzled, could it be said that this Ye Kui was born not afraid of this kind of incense?
"Ouyang Shiping, an opponent like you who is a six-fold Void Slashing Mirror, I can still handle it at will, but since it wants to see how much its body has recovered, then this time I will regard it as a reward for helping me detoxify it before."
"What's he still hers, Ye Kui, don't pretend, this incense is what Mr. Duan personally used for me to deal with... Burst! This... What kind of monster is this..."
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Shiping was pierced by two fully unfolded and straightened white sickles from behind through the left and right shoulder blades, and then from the front of the chest cavity left and right.
Ouyang Shi's whole person was lifted off the ground by the Moon Blade Demon Mantis standing behind him, and then he looked behind him in pain and puzzlement and said.
