Chapter 180: The Guide Marker is gone

Soon, almost an hour passed, and Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Xuan, who were originally waiting in the woods with many black and purple vines on the ground, gradually realized that something was wrong with the situation.

According to the plan, the monks of the battle post had arrived here at this time, but they had not even seen a single figure until now.

"Why haven't they been here yet? Didn't they find the guiding markers I left along the way?"

Tan Cheng was the most anxious among the three, after all, he was in charge of the more important step, and even Mr. Duan personally told Tan Cheng not to be distracted when drawing the guide mark.

"Tan Cheng, the three of us have been waiting for so long, it's not too long, besides, there are so many monks from the battle post who came here this time, they will definitely be more careful on the way, so they have been delayed for some time."

Pan Xuan thought about other possibilities for a while before responding to Tan Cheng.

"It makes sense for Pan Xuan to say this, plus the first operation has already failed, so this second operation will definitely be more cautious, besides, the more this situation is, the more we can't mess up, we have survived similar things, and then insist on persevering."

Although Gu Hongchuan was also a little nervous, he still tried to think about the benefits.

After Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Yan fell silent, Ye Kui stood on the branch of a certain tree and looked at the three of them through the gaps in the leaves.

"Could it be that the mission of these three commanders is to follow those demon cultivators and leave guidance marks for the monks who will come here later? Looks like I can focus on the side where the three of them retreated back and forth."

Ye Kui said that he looked in the opposite direction of Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Yan returning before.

At the end of the darkness was the castle that was blocked by high walls, but Ye Kui didn't see these directly, he just felt that there was a danger that was slowly emanating from a warning demonic aura.

"It doesn't scare me, so why not?"

Ye Kui gave up and continued to stare at Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Xuan, and turned around and walked in a dangerous direction.

When Ye Kui came to the big boulder that the three of Tan Cheng had dodged with, Ye Kui finally knew why Tan Cheng and the three of them had retreated into the woods.

"The demonic aura with a warning meaning is mainly emanating from that castle to the surroundings, but it is not certain what realm it is for the time being, and it may have to wait for that demon cultivator to emerge from the castle.

But if you think about it, could it be just a paper tiger? It is very consuming demon power or spiritual power to scare people on such a large scale all the time, and the demon cultivators in the castle will not even save the time they take a nap with their eyes closed?"

The reason why Ye Kui thought so was because Ye Kui found that the Moon Blade Demon Mantis that had been put back on his shoulder was difficult to maintain a well-behaved lying appearance, but stood up and looked at the castle.

"How do you have any thoughts about the demon cultivators in that castle? Do you know each other or do you just want to make a fuss again?"

After Ye Kui finished speaking, he reached out and put the small Moon Blade Demon Mantis on his shoulder in the palm of his hand, so that Ye Kui could more clearly understand the meaning of the Moon Blade Demon Mantis.

"When you're hungry, do you feel like moving your muscles and bones again? Then you must know what the demon cultivators who live in the castle come from? I'm asking about the owner of the castle, not the other demon cultivators in the castle."

After Ye Kui finished speaking, the Moon Blade Demon Mantis just raised a scythe blade and stroked the two tentacles on his head back and forth, and then Ye Kui also knew what the Moon Blade Demon Mantis wanted to say through the characteristics of the aura carrier.

"It's a descendant of the ancient Qilin, a Qilin demon cultivator? But only one?"

For the Qilin, Ye Kui still knows a little, it is an ancient divine beast, and it stands to reason that it is not much different from the Dragon Clan, but on the Tianque Continent, according to the number of the existing Dragon Clan and the power, the Dragon Clan still stabilizes the Qilin.

"As far as I know, the Qilin Demon Cultivators on the Tianque Continent also live in the northern depths of the Tianque Continent, which is similar to your Moon Blade Demon Mantis.

However, the Northern Demon Clan is very friendly to the Qilin Clan, not as bad as the relationship between your Moon Blade Demon Mantis and the Northern Demon Clan

... Oh? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything about you."

Just now, when Ye Kui talked about the relationship between the Moon Blade Demon Mantis and the Northern Demon Cultivator, the Moon Blade Demon Mantis, who was standing in the palm of Ye Kui's hand and looking at the front of him, suddenly twisted his face from the proof to look at Ye Kui behind his back.

This move of the Moon Blade Demon Mantis was like a dissatisfaction after the scar was revealed, but after Ye Kui apologized, the Moon Blade Demon Mantis turned its head forward again as if it was fine.

"You said that the unicorn demon cultivation is not powerful? Suppose that in the same realm or in the same realm, who will win if you and the Qilin Demon Cultivator are one-on-one?"

Ye Kui asked with some curiosity, and then Ye Kui saw the Moon Blade Demon Mantis make a very funny move.

The Moonblade Demon Mantis simply lay face down on Ye Kui's palm and slowly crawled forward, and then immediately got up and rode where he was lying down, raising the silver-white double sickle to show off something.

"You seem to be a little too confident, the Qilin Demon Cultivator has the ancient Qilin bloodline, how can he be defeated by you so easily, and lose to the point of being ridden by you."

Ye Kui shook his head, and after finishing speaking, he said that the Moon Blade Demon Mantis was placed on his shoulder.

"In that case, then I'll believe you again, let's sneak into that castle and see what's in it that deserves the attention of the monks at the outpost."

At the same time as Ye Kui exerted his intention to bend the wind, the Heavenly Prison Dao Method was also used by Ye Kui to the extreme, and the breath of the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Now, as long as you don't see or hear Ye Kui's active movements, then for other guys, Ye Kui is like blending into the void, and when he quietly approaches you, you can't feel his presence at all.

"There are at most outposts on this city wall, and the demon cultivators in the outpost are also very dedicated, and there is no sign of laziness, so the owner of this castle has managed this well."

Ye Kui, who had already crossed the city wall and came to the outer area of the castle, glanced back at the outpost on the high wall, and then continued to walk towards the central area of the castle.

"It stands to reason that there should be a lot of demon cultivators patrolling around here, but now I haven't even seen a single demon cultivator facing us, could it be that all the demon cultivators in charge of patrolling have gone to the outpost on the high wall just now? Or have they gone home to rest?"

This made Ye Kui feel that he was walking a little smoothly, and this situation was deceitful at first glance, but after Ye Kui repeatedly confirmed that there were indeed no hidden demon cultivators around, he continued to walk towards the steps in front of him.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ye Kui feels that the canopy tonight is lower than during the day, but there is no sign of hot and rainy.

"Is the guy in there doing something else? The demonic aura that was full of warning meaning has disappeared, and it seems that the demon cultivators inside are very busy."

Ye Kui walked to the gate that looked the most luxurious and magnificent in the castle, and then stretched out his hand to push the gate open.

"Dead?"

Ye Kui saw a corpse that had turned into a dry corpse, and said that he was sitting on a straight chair in the middle of the hall.

"But it doesn't look like the corpse of a demon cultivator, this style of clothes... Is it a monk, and his chest is still hollowed out? What's the matter with this little guy?"

Ye Kui looked at the clothes in the chest cavity of the monk's corpse that had turned into a dried corpse, so he picked up an unlit candle on the table next to him and picked up the clothes on the chest of the dried corpse.

Then Ye Kui saw that a big hole had been opened in the chest of the dried corpse, and the inside of the chest cavity had also been dug up, and then Ye Kui found that the empty dark chest cavity of the dry corpse suddenly appeared a pair of small eyes with a red glow to look at him.

"What's your posture? There's a fiercer little guy on my side than you."

Ye Kui was not only not frightened by the small eyes in the chest cavity of the corpse monk's corpse, but as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to use the wind intent to grab and pull out the small thing in the chest cavity of the corpse.

It was a demon beast with a face that resembled a salamander in water, but its body was like a pangolin, and when this demon beast was thrown to the ground by Ye Kui, it ran away, but it was blocked by a small dark red white sickle mantis.

"The demon beast dares to run away and finish it, so eat some if you're hungry."

Ye Kui continued to look at the corpse of the dried corpse monk on the Taishi's chair, Ye Kui could feel that after the little demon beast left the chest of the dried corpse just now, the dried corpse began to slowly decay and stink.

"What's the situation? That monster can also prevent the corpse from decomposing? Or is there something else that influences this dried corpse?"

Ye Kui observed for a while and then began to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves, because at this time, the monk's dried corpse had completely decomposed and turned into a large pool of corpse water mixed with rotten meat.

"And what's the origin of your little thing, I don't know if you can speak? If you understand, raise your hand and signal, or you will continue to make trouble?"

At this time, Ye Kui walked up to the little demon beast and asked.

However, at this time, the little demon beast had been frightened into a ball and trembling by the Moon Blade Demon Mantis, even if Ye Kui spoke, it couldn't affect it.

"If it doesn't say that you said it, seeing that you took the initiative to help me stop it just now, then you must know something about this little demon beast."

Later, Ye Kui really learned from the Moonblade Demon Mantis that this little demon beast hiding in the chest cavity of the corpse of the dry corpse monk was called the Wishing Beast.

This mimicry can mimic the breath of lost monks, demon cultivators, and demon beasts, and can also prevent the corpse it is staying with from decomposing and smelling.

"That's all? If this wishing beast has such a little ability, then why is it locked up in this room by other demon cultivators? In addition, I seem to have found that warning aura in this wishing beast."

Ye Kui felt that it was the demonic qi that was hidden in the chest of the monk's dry corpse that the wishing beast controlled the dry corpse in front of him, after all, when Ye Kui gradually approached here, those demonic qi with warning meaning also began to slowly decrease, as if it was a lack of stamina, or that it was time to rest.

In addition, when the corpse of the dry corpse monk was completely decomposed, some residual demonic qi also emerged, and that demonic aura was exactly the same as what Ye Kui felt before.

"Don't scare it, come back, as for you... Oh? There are other demon corrections coming this way, so I should hide too."

Before Ye Kui could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an upcoming demon cultivator, and the wishing demon beast was also received by Ye Kui into the Immortal Diagram.

"Damn! What happened to the Wishing Beast? It's over, I... I will be punished by them."

The one who pushed open the wooden door and walked to this room was also a demon cultivator, and the demon cultivator saw that there was only some corpse water and other liquids left on the Taishi chair where the corpse of the corpse monk was supposed to be sitting.

"I... I've got to tell the top about it, or it's going to get even more troublesome."

This demon cultivator knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately left the scene.

"Then the demon cultivator just left here? I didn't even have the heart to search casually for a while, and it seemed that I was in a bit of a hurry."

Ye Kui walked out of the hidden corner of the room again.

"There's nothing to look good in this room anymore, we should check on the other rooms in the castle and get out of here before dawn."

Ye Kui also walked out of the door of the room after speaking, and then walked towards another room.

"As soon as I look at the extra lines on this room, I know the east in the room, but I don't know if I bought it from somewhere or made it myself."

Ye Kui recommended a door and then tried to walk in, and then saw a lot of books.

This room, called the Terran Monk's Miscellaneous Books, has a lot of stacked books and ancient paintings, most of which look very old.

"Do you want to take all these books and ancient paintings with you, Mr. Miao seems to like this kind of thing, but it seems that I do it somewhat..."

Just when Ye Kui felt that he shouldn't do this, Ye Kui found some words written on the walls of the room, and after that, Ye Kui took away all the ancient books and paintings in this room without burden.

It turned out that in addition to some poems on the wall, there were also some demon cultivators writing about how many monks they had killed over the years, and how they had obtained these ancient books and paintings, and finally these books had been booked by outsiders.

"Huh? that

There is a situation, a certain demon cultivator seems to be catching the power, what is the demon cultivator thinking in this castle? Also, who are the outsiders? How can they order items here?"

After Ye Kui felt a little surprised, Ye Kui tried again, and after thinking about it for a while, Ye Kui quickly decided his next plan.

"Take away all the books and paintings here, and then continue to look for the owner of this castle, and put the rest aside first, otherwise it will only make things more and more chaotic."

After Ye Kui thought about it, he said that all the paper items in the room were taken away.

"The wooden door in front looks completely different from other places, is there any treasure inside?"

After coming to a wooden door with some convex lines carved on it, he walked in.

"No, there is also a demon cultivator hiding inside, and it seems that he likes to hide just like the little demon beast before."

Ye Kui immediately pushed the door and walked in, and then Ye Kui saw that the room was empty, and there were no tables, chairs, or stools, only a large bamboo bed in the middle of the room.

"Who? I said don't bother me at this point now, otherwise... Who are you?"

A demon cultivator on the other side is not too much, but he said it a little angrily.

"Who are you? This breath, demon cultivator?"

Ye Kui found that the demonic aura on the demon cultivator lying on the bamboo bed was very shallow, but if he felt it carefully, he could still find that the demonic aura of the demon cultivator lying on the bamboo bed had suddenly increased.

"How could a Terran monk come here? What do they eat? When I deal with you, I'll ask them to hold them accountable."

The young Qilin Demon Cultivator had already walked down from the bamboo bed, and he was still looking at Ye Kui fiercely.

"Aren't you the Qilin Demon Cultivator with the bloodline of the Ancient Qilin? I didn't think you'd sleep in this castle all the time, and you wouldn't have anything to do?"

Ye Kui continued to kindly ask if he had permission to do so, but now Ye Kui's attention began to focus.

At this time, the other side, that is, the side where Ye Kui's clone is located.

"Thankfully, the monks at the outpost don't have the other way to check the authenticity of the guide markers, but then I can continue to imitate the handwriting of the three commanders to draw new guide signs."

Ye Kui cultivated the third doppelganger refined by the Nine Phantom Spirit Shadows and roped to his companions.

"I hope these people from the outpost can still block it."

After Ye Kui's third doppelganger finished speaking, he continued to speed up his actions and walked to a big tree, and then hurriedly drew a new guide marker.

At the beginning of Ye Kui's main body and the third doppelganger's separate action, Ye Kui's third doppelganger had been rushing to draw a guide mark before the monks of the battle outpost who came to the north of the Tianque Continent on the opposite side of the deep valley.

And he has been leading those battle posts to the wrong place, which will take at least an hour to reach the place where Ye Kui's main body is located.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with where these guide signs are going? It seems to be drifting more and more."

"No, it was Commander Tan who marked the way this time, and at that time, Mr. Duan personally told Commander Tan Cheng that Commander Tan should do this well, and the other monks in the battle post didn't know, and you commanders forgot about it?"

"Of course not, you remember us guys, let alone that, okay, let's stop the ink, let's continue to walk ahead and lead the way."

Now, this group should have gone to the deep forest where Tan Cheng, Gu Hongchuan, and Pan Yan were located, where there were many black and purple vegetation on the ground, or they had already killed the castle where Ye Kui was.

But as a result, Ye Kui's third doppelganger used fake guide markers to lead all the monks of the battle outpost to another extremely dangerous area.

"Why are there so many snakes all of a sudden? Not only the trees, but also the grass and bushes on the ground are also full of poisonous snakes, so we better be careful."

"A few snakes, even if they are poisonous, then we monks can also combine the venom

The poisonous blood is all removed from the wound, so it's fine, and there are so many Commanders leading the way."

"Yes, if there is really something big, then it must be those commanders who win the battle steadily, whether it is ordinary snakes or snake demons, and there are so many of us monks, it is a big deal to kill them at the same time, and the result is even clearer."

Now the ordinary monks in these battle posts began to talk,

"You see, there are a lot of bones and corpses here, and judging by their clothing, they are the same group as us, should we help these monks find a place to bury? I heard that the resentment of the corpse of the monk who died in the north of the Tianque Continent is very deep."

"I don't think it's better to waste time, you didn't see that the commanders in front of you didn't say anything about it, I don't know where the rumors came from?"

"You all be quiet for a while, what do I seem to hear?"

A monk at the outpost raised his hands to signal his companions to be quiet.

"Poof~"

Then, a fart broke the converging calm.

"You kid! You're kidding us?"

"Fart? Fart, huh? See if we don't talk about rotting your boy's ass!"

"We can't be influenced by this kid, let's keep quiet, or the commanders in front of us may find us in trouble, but this kid will catch it right, and teach him a lesson!"

"Don't take it seriously! Actually, I see that you are all so serious, and the atmosphere is a little heavy, so I just wanted to make a joke to relieve the tension, and I promise that there is absolutely no other meaning!"

In the end, no matter how the farting monk explained, he still did not escape being beaten by his companion, and in the end, not only was his butt swollen with kicks, but even a few more large bags on his head.

"Hehe, I'll get here first this time, and if you dare to brush your head again, you know the end."

"Yes, we are not here to play this time, and this mission has already failed once, if we repeat the same mistakes, then not only will we lose our personal faces, but our battle post will also be overwhelmed by the other battle posts around the deep valley, and finally become a laughing stock."

"Forget it, I'll tell you one more thing, but I don't guarantee the truth of the matter, and by chance, I heard faintly from some drunken Commander that if this mission fails like the first one.

Then our Xianmen side may directly order Mr. Duan to go back, and then send another uncle and uncle to the battle post to continue to manage us, uh... I almost forgot that you can't call it that in the battle post, you have to call it sir."

"How credible is this? I think Mr. Duan didn't manage it well, he was too strict, and it was really good news that he was called back by Xianmen, hahaha."

Then, just as the monks of this battle post walked towards a certain depth towards the forest where there were more and more poisonous snakes.

The monks at the battle post didn't notice it at all, and their retreat had been stopped by a large group of demon cultivators with no different eyes, fangs in their mouths, and slender and forked letters.

Of course, the monks at the battle post did not look unusual in front of them, but the number of poisonous snakes on the ground and trees was reduced by half.

"There seem to be fewer snakes in front of you, huh? Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

"Is there any danger?"

"Alas, I've already told the Commanders, I should shoot some stupid monks who just came here to kill demons and earn spirit stones in advance to explore the path for me, wouldn't it be as convenient as before?"

"Cut, some of us came here like this, so you can accumulate some virtue."

"What? The guide mark is gone when you get to the front?"

This last sentence stunned all the monks at the battle post, and almost no one dared to continue to answer.

Because, the beginning of the failure of the last mission was also because the guide mark was suddenly broken.
