Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ascendancy (1)
The vast valley had now turned into a sea of fire.
Countless trees burned in the valley, and the heat wave soared into the sky, causing the mist of the mountains that had been condensed at the top of the valley by middle-aged people to be washed away, revealing the blue sky.
The fire became less and more vigorous, and all the vines and plants that crawled on the mountain walls had been burned, and the rocks that had been roasted and cracked rolled down.
In the midst of this sea of fire, a huge figure ten meters tall spread its wings and flew high.
The Infinite Flames nearly obscured his massive size, and his silhouette could be seen to be muscular, strong, and explosive.
The crimson eyes and mouth were full of tyranny and rage, the horns on the head were as red as incandescent flames, and a pair of huge bat-like wings could set off waves of wind and heat every time they flapped and flew.
As the huge body flew higher and higher, the power of the giant wings flapped more and more, and the powerful air currents brought up by the flames rose into the air, almost rushing out of the valley.
A stout fiery serpent slammed out, and in the midst of the flames was a tail full of hooked barbs.
The tail swept across, and countless trees toppled in the flames, sparks splashed everywhere.
As soon as the wings were retracted, the huge body crashed to the ground, causing the valley to continue to churn, raging with flames and black smoke.
The figure stepped out from the red flame several feet high, and I saw that his joints and wings were covered with hideous bone spurs, and his whole body was covered with scarlet cracks and spewing flames, and his tall and sturdy body was like a god and demon.
The whole head was completely humanoid, the horns were curved and sharp, the jaw of the mouth had been elongated forward, the large mouth had fangs like a hack and a saw, and the eyes were deep in the sockets like two of the hottest scarlet flame hearts.
The palms and soles of the feet are long and curved and narrow, and they are covered with long sharp armor that seems to tear apart everything that is tough.
Jiang Yuan looked at himself with satisfaction:
"How strong am I now?
He didn't know what kind of enemy he could face now, the three ques in the Mu realm, or the three ques in the upper three ques, or even the Zhao realm?
But he already knew that he was stronger and stronger than before, much stronger.
"The fully fledged form of the flame, it feels so good!"
Jiang Yuan muttered:
"My pace will not stop there. I also need to store up more ghost energy to impact the form of the ghost. I'm really looking forward to how powerful it will be as a further form of seclusion!"
He walked towards the mountain wall, where there was a cave he had dug with wood carvings and his clothes.
As Jiang Yuan approached, the tree demon Lin Yulin shouted loudly:
"Brother Fire Demon, don't come here again! If you get closer to me, you will be burned out, if you don't feel sorry, I have to feel sorry for your clothes!"
After shouting, Lin Yulin's heart was also full of muttering: Didn't Sister Youyue say that demons don't eat people, and her cultivation is very slow? Why is this fire demon, obviously not a fierce demon, just eating a demon heart and sitting for another day, he has become so much stronger? He is so terrifying, I must not let Sister Youyue get close to him!
Jiang Yuan laughed, he retreated from the form of the flame, and after putting on his clothes, he picked up the wood carving and walked towards the outside of the valley.
The fire in the valley was blazing, but Jiang Yuan didn't plan to extinguish it, so he let this fire burn all traces here.
Only the alchemy furnace was too big to take away, and Jiang Yuan would not let others get it if he was reluctant, and the Dan furnace was thrown directly into the tumbling magma in the cave by him.
Absorbing the strong ghost energy, he sat in the cave for a full day, and it was time to leave.
As I moved away from the valley and looked back, I saw thick black smoke rising from the top of the mountain, and the unsuspecting person would have thought that the volcano was about to erupt.
Fortunately, the valley is surrounded by mountain walls that are cut off from the outside world, so it is unlikely to cause a forest fire or something.
The villagers of San'in Village are all dead, and the whole village is empty, and it won't be long before this place will be deserted.
As he walked farther and farther, the wood carving on his shoulder suddenly began to cry.
Jiang Yuan was in a good mood, so he asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yulin cried and said:
"That's where I grew up and where I live, woooooo......oo When I leave, I don't know if I will have my life back...... And you're burning it down! I'm mad! Woo woo woo woo ......."
Jiang Yuan didn't have the time to take care of this, he advised:
"Next, you'd better shut up, don't talk or cry, if someone finds out about your abnormality, I'll eat you!"
At this time, Lin Yulin looked no different from an ordinary wood carving, and was also wrapped in a layer of cloth by Jiang Yuan, if the children of the Gong family did not have special means, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect that this wood carving was a tree demon.
Lin Yulin was so frightened that he cried for a while, and he didn't dare to make a sound anymore.
Jiang Yuan laughed, carrying the wooden carving into the jungle,
It took him about two hours to return in the direction he had come, and he finally returned to the ancestral hall.
Gong Liangyi, Yu Niang, and their horses are not there, which is expected. Luckily, his horse was still tethered.
However, what made Jiang Yuan angry was that his large bag of heavenly and earthly treasures was also missing.
"Who stole my baby?!"
Annoyed, Jiang Yuan came to the village next to the Ergui Ancestral Hall to ask.
Finally, a villager told him the answer:
"You said the bag of things in the ancestral hall, I saw that a beautiful woman in white clothes was taken away yesterday, and she went to Pengcheng. I remember very deeply, the road was blocked by rocks and had not been cleared, but she just didn't listen to the persuasion and had to go. By the way, she also brought a woman and baby nurseries with her when she left, and sent them home. This morning, everyone sent their mother and son away, they were from the village after crossing two hills in the east, and they didn't know how they got married to a ghost place like Sanyin Village. ”
Jiang Yuan's face was full of anger, and he left the village on horseback and returned in the direction of Pengcheng:
"That woman stole my baby!"
As the rainstorm stopped and the weather cleared, and the landslides and rolling rocks stopped, the rocks blocking the road naturally couldn't stop the footsteps of the Kone Realm martial artists.
As long as people can pass, there is no need to worry about the problem of horses, Jiang Yuan put the horses on his shoulders, regardless of the frightened neighing and struggle of the horses, and then jumped on the boulder blocking the road, and quickly left in the stunned eyes of the Qingdao villagers.
Although I don't know if Gongliangyi and Yuniang also used this method to pass, at least, Jiang Yuan likes to be more direct and rough......
When he came to the passable road, Jiang Yuan put down the poor horse on his shoulder.
Although Jiang Yuan's speed was far faster than that of a fast horse under running with all his might, he always felt that riding a horse was more interesting than running, at least it could free him up to think more.
One person, one demon and one ride, galloping along the official road.
By about this time tomorrow, we will be able to reach Pengcheng.
............................................................................................
The night once again descended on the world in an unstoppable manner, and the prosperous Pengcheng city during the day quickly became deserted in the dark night, and only a few lush streets were still full of people, but this only occupied a small part of the huge Pengcheng.
At night, there are only two kinds of people who dare to move outside the city.
One is a night guard who deals with ghosts, and the other is a madman who has an ulterior secret for evil.
This unique convoy had been parked outside the city until night, and then slowly approached the city walls.
At the foot of the shadowy city wall, a group of torch-wielding men were already waiting.
The leader is a rich and beautiful woman.
I saw that the beautiful woman was wearing a bright long blue and red dress, full of pearlescent jade, I don't know how many gold bracelets were on her wrists, and the golden hairpin was swaying on the coiled hair.
The bewitching face of the beautiful woman is very attractive, with red lips and a bright face, the pink delicacy rouge is applied just right, and the eyeliner is bewitching, which seems to be able to capture people's hearts. She held a golden jade cigarette stick in one hand, slowly took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it, quietly watching the convoy approach.
This beautiful woman is Ouyang Tong, a celebrity in Pengcheng, and she is in charge of the most prosperous Qinglou "Fat Red Pavilion" in the city.
Around Ouyang Tong, there was a group of Star Demon Sea gangs wearing embroidered star patterns. The Fat Red Pavilion is one of the Star Demon Sea industries, and Ouyang Tong is also a member of the Star Demon Sea.
The convoy slowly drove in, driven by a group of black and thin men, dressed in ordinary clothes, who looked like a group of ordinary villagers. Later, when I occasionally observed the dark night around me, I would show a fierce aura in my eyes.
When the convoy was close, a man in the lead jumped out of the carriage and came to Ouyang Tong and laughed:
"Boss Ouyang, I haven't seen you for half a year, your business in the store is fine, is there a shortage of girls?"
Ouyang Tong kept a cold face, his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at the black and thin man, and even his voice was impatient:
"Bring the goods out. ”
The thin black man saw Ouyang Tong's face, and his heart was itching with hatred: An old bustard also looks down on us, and he doesn't look at what kind of person he is!
Although he scolded in his heart, the thin black man still smiled and ordered his subordinates to open the wooden box on the carriage.
When the wooden box was opened, I saw that there were several little girls inside.
They ranged in age, from eight or nine to fourteen or fifteen, and the only thing they had in common was that their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth.
I only heard the thin black man say:
"Isn't there going to be a martial arts conference recently? There are always some nosy warriors running around, and it's not easy for me to transport these goods here, who knows if I will meet a martial artist who wants to be chivalrous and righteous. So this time the price has to be increased by 30%!"
Ouyang Tong glanced at the unopened wooden boxes on the other carriages and asked:
"My lady has been out of stock recently, is there any more?"
The thin black man smiled:
"Those are booked by other guests, they are all adults, there are men and women, old and disabled, and Boss Ouyang can't look down on them. ”
Most of the goods, the black and thin man and his entourage are going to take them to Shanyin Village. It was a surprise to them that a small village could accept so many goods, but they had traded frequently over the years, and they didn't have to worry about anything going wrong.
So Ouyang Tong didn't ask any more questions, and the Star Demon Sea Gang around her suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the little girl in the wooden box and stuffed it into a sack, and then placed it in the carriage that came from her side.
While the two sides were settling, suddenly there was a clattering of horses' hooves at the city gate, which made both sides look cautiously.
I saw three little girls of twelve or thirteen years old riding out of the city on delicate ponies and heading farther away.
On the back of the docile and short horse, there were Lin Siyan, Chen Yin, and a richly dressed girl.
