Not only is she not human, but even the three burly men behind her are not human.

But they're not ghosts either.

Strictly speaking, it's weird.

Facing the woman and the three strong men chasing behind him, Jiang Changkong did not hesitate, and directly used his sword intent to kill them all.

With two fingers, a touch of sword intent pierced through the woman who was running towards him.

【Dao Fruit +1】

A white Dao Fruit appeared in the Sword Codex space, but this white Dao Fruit was very light in color, and obviously the energy was not large.

The woman threw herself on the ground and instantly turned into a human skin, which then turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.

The three strong men who were chasing after him suddenly stopped, looking at Jiang Changkong's face changing greatly, and just wanted to turn around and escape, but Jiang Changkong killed two of them in an instant.

The two of them also turned into human skins, and finally dissipated into black smoke.

【White Dao Fruit +2】

The energy of these two white Dao fruits is also not large.

From the time he killed the woman, Jiang Changkong knew that these people should be "ghosts".

That is, after being eaten by a tiger, it becomes a ghost called by the tiger, which is used to tempt others to eat the tiger.

That's what the so-called "fighting for the tiger" means.

From killing them to obtain Dao Fruit, it can be seen that the ghosts also belong to the weird category.

Jiang Changkong killed three and left one, just to find the tiger who controlled them.

The remaining one was just about to escape, but he heard Jiang Changkong say: "If you dare to run a step, they will be your fate." ”

The man turned his head with difficulty and looked at Jiang Changkong, squeezing out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying.

"Lord—"

Jiang Changkong walked up to him and said lightly, "Take me to your master." ”

As he spoke, a sword intent enveloped the ghost.

The ghost had to obediently agree.

If you don't promise to die immediately.

"Yes."

The ghost led the way in front, and Jiang Changkong followed behind.

As he walked, he asked, "Who are you?" How did he die? ”

When the ghost heard this, his steps were paused, and his expression was confused, as if he was trying to recall the past.

But the more I thought about it, the more painful it became, and my face gradually turned hideous.

"Okay, don't think about it if you can't think of it."

Jiang Changkong said lightly.

He's really afraid that this guy will want to break his head.

The sword intent touched the ghost's body, causing the ghost's face to change greatly, and he instantly came to his senses again.

I don't know if it was the sword intent that stimulated his soul, and the ghost suddenly remembered some memories.

"My lord, I was originally a bandit from Emerald Ridge, and that day our boss and a group of master brothers said that they were going to Nanping Town to pick up guests...... Not long after they left, the mountain king came, and then several of our brothers were eaten...... My lord, I died so unjustly, and I still have eighty percent of my new daughters-in-law at home...... As soon as my daughter-in-law got pregnant, she was eaten by Shanjun...... I wanted to save my daughter-in-law, but she was also eaten by the king of the mountain...... We don't want to die......"

After speaking, he began to speak incoherently, and then he saw that his face was hideous again, and black gas even began to emerge from the top of his head.

Seeing that he was about to collapse, Jiang Changkong had to use his sword intent to give him another 'strengthening stimulus' to make him sober up immediately.

But this time the sobriety was a little sluggish.

Jiang Changkong guessed that this should be due to the fact that his soul power was consumed too much.

"Alright, take me to your master."

"Yes."

The ghost walked in front, Jiang Changkong followed behind, and he didn't stimulate him anymore, but he had some understanding of the cause and effect of the matter in his heart.

Especially the huge tiger footprints encountered in the Emerald Ridge, and finally knew the reason.

The so-called mountain monarch may have become a demon, so he is huge.

That's why he saw the huge tiger footprints in Emerald Ridge.

And after becoming a demon, it has also become a scourge in this area.

It's just that Jiang Changkong can't figure it out is that Emerald Ridge is far away from here, more than a hundred miles.

Is the range of activity of this demon tiger already so large?

If it is really so big, not to mention that it will be a huge threat to the vicinity of Qingshan Stream, even to Nanping Town.

The oni seemed a little sluggish, but he wasn't slow.

After all, he is not human, and his body has almost no weight.

Under the mountain breeze at night, the speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

Even catch up with the average martial artist.

Along the mountain road, I soon came to a cave.

Jiang Changkong could sense that the cave was very deep.

From the cave, a demonic aura could be clearly felt, but at this time, the Mountain Monarch demon was not found inside.

After the ghost brought Jiang Changkong here, the whole person became very respectful and a little sluggish.

But he was only stunned for a moment, and then he walked towards the cave.

What made Jiang Changkong a little strange was that this ghost did not enter the cave, but walked towards the wall of the cave.

Jiang Changkong watched as the ghost's body sank into half of the stone wall, which was very novel.

At the same time, suddenly.

It turns out that the walls are the ghosts' homes.

In other words, the world of ghosts and humans are not in the same world.

But he didn't really let the ghost escape.

If you die, you are dead, you can't enter reincarnation, and you can't harm people in the world.

With a casual hand, the sword intent instantly submerged into the ghost's body, and directly crushed it, and the ghost that had not completely entered the wall turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.

【Dao Fruit +1】

At this moment, a huge tiger roar was heard in the distance, and there seemed to be anger in the voice.

The entire mountain forest suddenly had no other sound except for the tiger roar echoing.

Obviously, Jiang Changkong's killing of the ghosts finally made the mountain monarch who controlled them perceive it.

Jiang Changkong released his sword intent, and soon sensed a huge tiger rushing from one direction.

The black and yellow fur on the whole body gives people a terrifying momentum in the mountains and forests.

The giant tiger's pace is very large, and coupled with running, it is like a black and yellow fortress that is moving rapidly, and the distance of hundreds of meters will soon be reached.

To Jiang Changkong's surprise, one of the tiger's eyes was blood-red, and the other was amber.

Two eyes of different colors, this is the first time I have seen them.

Mutation?

However, this tiger is really big.

It's bigger than he thought it would be.

I don't know if I've grown up a little bit lately.

It's so big, I don't know if this guy's whip is also big...... Jiang Changkong swept his eyes and found that it was really big underneath.

The corners of Jiang Changkong's mouth outlined a curvature: "This thing...... I heard that it is a big supplement! ”

However, this is a demon, and eating the meat of a demon requires a professional removal of the demonic qi, otherwise it will be contaminated by the demonic qi.

So it seems to be a big tonic, but it is actually a poison.

Jiang Changkong wasn't really going to eat this thing.

But the fur, teeth, and claws of this Mountain Monarch Demon are all good things, and they can be sold for a good price.

As for the flesh, it must be burned completely.

Otherwise, the flesh is likely to cause other beasts to evolve or mad demons to go berserk, creating a new scourge.

It seemed that he felt Jiang Changkong's thick malice, and the giant tiger that was rushing towards Jiang Changkong was furious, and opened his bloody mouth.

The wind is from the tiger, and the cloud is from the dragon.

The giant tiger pounced, bringing up a huge whirlwind, and in an instant the sand and rocks flew away, and the huge trees fell to and fro.

At the same time, a huge tiger roar erupted from its open blood basin mouth.

The huge tiger roar formed a sound wave visible to the naked eye, and hit Jiang Changkong.

The wind was howling, the clothes were hunting, and Jiang Changkong was almost deafened by the sudden tiger roar.

Immediately furious.

Boom!

The green steel sword is unsheathed.

Draw the sword!

True Qi exploded, and the sword intent was intense, instantly piercing the giant tiger's forehead.

The majestic sword intent shattered the giant tiger's soul in an instant.

Kill with a sword!

The giant tiger's flying posture was still there, but after it pounced in front of Jiang Changkong, it whimpered, and blood splattered from its forehead.

A pale green Dao fruit appeared in the Sword Codex space, which was larger than the one that originated from Guan Yulong.

Jiang Changkong showed a satisfied look on his face.

The next step is to skin and disassemble the giant tiger.

At this time, although the giant tiger was dead, it was blind and his eyes were wide.

The amber eyes, in particular, seemed to be staring at him all the time, giving him the feeling as if they were ...... Security cameras.

Jiang Changkong stared at this eye, and this eye was also "staring" at him.

Jiang Changkong naturally knew that the giant tiger was dead, and logically speaking, it was just an illusion that the giant tiger was still staring at him, but he instinctively felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined.

The giant tiger has become a demon, and blood-red eyes are normal, but amber eyes are ...... This thing looks like a magic weapon no matter how you look at it.

He did not rashly touch it with his hands, but provoked it with his sword.

By the way, I stare at it with Kenshin Tongming.

As soon as his sword touched the amber eye, the eye burst suddenly.

Exploded!

Jiang Changkong's eyes suddenly shot out two sword lights.

Sure enough, there was a problem!

He really guessed correctly, this thing is really a peeping "camera"!

Installing a 'camera' in the eye socket of a demon tiger and allowing it to blend together is not something that ordinary people can do.

Warriors generally don't have this ability.

Most of this kind of situation can only be done by some left-handed people, or immortal cultivators and demon cultivators.

Especially immortal cultivators and demon cultivators, their cultivation systems are not the same as those of martial artists.

The true qi cultivated by martial artists, and the mana they cultivated, they could use mana to refine some magic weapons.

Judging from the current situation, it doesn't look like an immortal cultivator, because immortal cultivators have always shown that they don't participate in the affairs of the world, and naturally they won't control demons.

"Could it be...... Could this be done by a demon cultivator? ”

Jiang Changkong frowned slightly.

Demon cultivators have no scruples and can do anything.

But in most cases, he still abides by the agreement with the court, and under normal circumstances, he will not be unhappy with the human court.

However, this does not represent all demon cultivators, just as some immortal cultivators cannot represent the entire immortal cultivation world.

There will always be people who will break the rules, just like the Blood God Cult......

Hey? Cult of the Blood God !!

Thinking of this, Jiang Changkong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Could this be the Cult of the Blood God?

The few things I encountered in Nanping Town recently were all related to the Blood God Sect.

When Guan Yulong was killed before, he saw the transaction between the people of the Blood God Sect and Guan Yulong from the remaining energy picture of the magic weapon.

Ji Rong's one is too.

"Could this have been done by someone from the Blood God Cult?"

Jiang Changkong felt that he had a good chance of finding the source of the matter.

Just like deciding a case, first speculate, then prove the speculation, and finally form a clear judgment.

All he had to do now was prove that speculation.

"If ......"

"If it's really the blood god who taught people to do it...... Even, it's what Mr. Lan did......"

"Then the giant tiger was controlled by it, attacked the Emerald Ridge, and devoured the qi and blood essence of countless people in the Emerald Ridge to replenish his physical body, this hypothesis is just logically established."

"The giant tiger controlled the ghosts in Qingshan Stream, and kept attacking some passers-by to provide Mr. Lan with qi and blood...... This conclusion is also very reasonable. ”

"Since the giant tiger has lived in Qingshan Stream for a long time, then this Mr. Lan is likely to be in Qingshan Stream, because he can't be too far away from his puppet giant tiger, otherwise he will definitely not be able to control ......"

"Since it's in Qingshan Stream...... So where will he hide? ”

Jiang Changkong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately released his sword intent to look around to the greatest extent.

Not to mention, he found a trace of clues.

The water of the green mountain stream meanders through the mountains, and it is normal for the tiger's den to be not far from the water's edge.

After all, tigers also need to drink water.

However, there is a deep pool next to the flowing water about 500 meters away from here.

According to Jiang Changkong's perception, he found that the water in the deep pool was different from the water in other places, and the water in the deep pool was very cold.

What are corpses most afraid of? Naturally, it is afraid of high temperature and rot.

If the temperature is low, then the rate of decay will be reduced...... Of course, this is just the case under normal circumstances.

For these high-ranking people who can already refine corpses, the situation that the temperature will rot may be avoided.

Whether this is the case or not, Jiang Changkong doesn't know very well, he is just speculating with the eyes and opinions of an ordinary person now.

So, he also knew that this kind of speculation could not be relied upon.

But from the vapor in the deep pool, he felt a hint of familiarity.

It was an evil aura that was very similar to the Blood God Sculpture.

Just because of this, it shows that his speculation is correct.

That is, the other party is nearby!

Even......

It's possible that it's in a deep pool!!

Thinking about this, Jiang Changkong's eyes were bright, and he immediately used his sword steps to rush in the direction of the deep pool without hesitation.
