Devour

Chapter 289 Patrolman

The snow-white ice quickly spread to the whole body of the Mud Demon King. The fist waving in the air stopped moving with a difficult "crackling" sound, and turned into a huge ice sculpture in a few breaths.

Bei Tingjun urged, "I've frozen him, hurry up and do it."

A Pu pointed his sword, and the flying sword came out of its sheath, turning into a cold light, and flew through the air to cut the Mud Demon King's neck. At the same time, he shouted, "My Zhenyue Shangfang Sword is ranked eleventh on the Tianbao List, and it is the treasure of the Xiyu Sword Sect. Let's see if you can hold on."

Cheng Bai also took action. He is a ruthless person who doesn’t talk much.

The Killing Knife was raised and stabbed straight at the heart of the Mud Demon King. With a light "swish" sound, the sharp blade penetrated into the body and churned and stirred. The frozen Mud Demon King was immediately covered with cracks.

When Cheng Bai used the Killing Sword to dig a big hole and flew out with a crystal clear inner elixir, the Ice Purgatory effect ended.

The Mud Demon King howled miserably as his head was severed and his body collapsed to the bottom of the cave like a mountain. The fatal injury was not to his neck, but to the loss of his life elixir.

Beiting Jun said: "The duration of the ice purgatory is very short. His resistance to ice spells is much stronger than those outside."

In terms of physique, the Mud Demon King is not inferior to the previous Lava Giant Torch, and his strength is even higher, but he has no ability to fight back against the siege of three people and magic weapons.

Cheng Bai put away the killing knife, picked up the inner pill of the mud demon king and looked at it carefully. He identified the runes of "Water Escape", "Giant Strength", "Mud Ball", "Four Extreme Shield" and "Earth Spirit Binding". He was pleasantly surprised: "This one is good. It has the last two runes more than the others. It is obviously better."

A Pu called back the Zhenyue Shangfang Sword, and his smile seemed to be flattering: "Fellow Daoist Baidi, are you satisfied with your harvest?"

Cheng Bai nodded and said, "Very good. There are 156 purple bells in total, take them all."

After leaving the Ziyun Swamp Cave, Cheng Bai first divided the six inner elixirs and kept the most precious Mud Demon King's inner elixir for himself.

Zhai Xufei casually threw the inner pill up, one head opened its mouth and swallowed it, and the other head said: "A small snack, it can improve my skills a little bit."

The Smoker put the Mud Demon's Inner Core close to his body and said with a smile: "My cultivation is too low. I will save this Inner Core to enjoy when I reach the critical realm. It will be of great help."

Hei Long threw the elixir into his mouth and held it under his jaw. He said, "If I refine it now, I might have to sleep for ten days or half a month. It's better to give it enough time." He picked up everyone and continued to fly.

Cheng Bai gave the direction and said, "Let's go to Guitou Mountain to get the biggest treasure from Jiuchongyuan."

Apuqi asked, "What other treasures are there? Are you talking about the nine-leafed Ganoderma lucidum in the underground palace of Guitou Mountain?"

Cheng Bai remembered the secret that the belly ghost told him, and asked back, "The Swamp of Hate is also called the Fourth Floor, right?"

Bei Tingjun laughed softly and said, "The fourth level can indeed be said that way."

"Teeth... there are quite a lot of them." Cheng Bai looked far away. The Guitou Mountain in the distance looked like a giant head with its mouth open and roaring. He murmured, "Fly slowly. It will be fine if we arrive at noon."

The Smoker was suspicious and asked, "Looking at the shape of that hilltop, could it be the leader of a God King? What kind of fierce battle led to the annihilation of the world and the death of so many God Kings?"

In the eyes of all the cultivators, the God King was a great existence that was beyond their reach, but the scene presented was shocking! So far, there were more than ten corpses of God Kings lying in the Nine-Layer Abyss, and it was obvious that these were not all.

A Pu spoke slowly, "According to ancient scriptures, those who were called God Kings after the ancient times were called 'Ancestors' in the ancient times, and they were the basic species among the ancient gods. After the mysterious disappearance of the Five Ancient Emperors, the realm of cultivation was gradually established. Legend has it that Emperor Haotian played a great role."

Cheng Bai joked: "In that case, in the ancient times, the God King was a cabbage that was rotting on the street."

A Pu laughed dryly and said, "That can't be said. Everything is relative."

Cheng Bai asked, "Fellow Daoist, you have a wide range of knowledge. I wonder what position you hold in the Xiyu Sword Sect?"

A Pu said: "Inner sect guardian."

Cheng Bai said "oh" and stopped asking, thinking to himself: "The status of the inner sect guardian can be high or low. A Pu holds the famous treasure of the Xiyu Sword Sect, the Zhenyue Shangfang Sword, so he should not be an imposter."

The path was winding, the mountains were rugged, the grass and trees were sparse, and the sound of bang-bang-dong bells could be heard from far away.

A day patrol came down the mountain path, beating gongs and ringing bells, singing: "The king asked me to patrol the mountain, quickly turn around the foot of the mountain, rest at 15:30 in the afternoon, the wilderness is quiet and peaceful, and I am very happy."

Seeing that there was no one around, the patrolman was just about to find a secret place to take a break. Suddenly, he saw a black dragon descend from the sky, and several people jumped down to block his way, scaring him.

Riyouxun couldn't help but shout, "Who are you? You dare to trespass into my king's territory. You really don't know the consequences."

Cheng Bai looked at Ri Yu Xun. He was dressed as a ghost messenger, with a burly figure and disheveled hair, holding a bangling bell, a long sword slung across his back, and a waist badge with the words "Ri Yu Xun" hanging from a chain around his waist.

Seeing that everyone just looked at him without answering, Riyou Xun thought that they were intimidated by his words, so he threatened, "Tell me quickly. Otherwise, I will strike a gong and immediately call thousands of brothers to chop you into meat paste and use it as soil and flower fertilizer."

Cheng Bai said, "You are the patrolling ghost. What's your name? Is it three quarters past noon now?"

Ri Youxun said with a displeased face, "Master Ghost, I am Gu Chenzi, and I am very accurate in striking the gong and ringing the bell. I said it was three quarters after noon, and it was within a breath or half a second... I was asking you a question, why are you asking back?"

Cheng Bai just used the secret art of communication to ask, "How many little ghosts are there guarding and patrolling Guitou Mountain?"

Gu Chenzi shook his head and said, "My patrol team has 32 people, and the 12th team has a total of 384 people. Once you enter the mountain gate, there is a sentry every 10 steps and a sentry every 100 steps, with more than a thousand people stationed there. Especially around noon, the patrols double and the guards are very strict."

Cheng Bai continued to ask: "Who is your king and why is he so majestic?"

Gu Chenzi was surprised and said, "You stepped into the territory of Guitou Mountain, but you didn't know the great reputation? The king is the ghost of the Five Deaths, known as the Xiyi Ghost King, the great name Guimang, the master of the hateful swamp."

Cheng Bai asked again: "What is Gui Mang's ability?"

Gu Chenzi became more and more proud as he spoke: "My king feeds on humans, and if there are no humans, he feeds on ghosts. He is an expert in all ghost skills, and is an unrivaled giant ghost! Hehehe... Ghost Master, I see there are beautiful young ladies among you, and they are the favorites of my king."

Cheng Bai glanced at Bei Tingjun.

Upon hearing this, the mirage witch straightened her chest, twisted her waist, raised her eyebrows and spat, "Just him? He's not even afraid of breaking his teeth."

Riyouxun was courting death by saying, "Oh! You are such a delicate girl. Not to mention the king, even if I caught you I would eat you clean. It would be best if I tied you up in a fancy way and gave you to the king to eat with wine."

Bei Tingjun snorted coldly, and casually urged the mirage dragon that was coiled around his body to swing its tail. With a "puff" sound, Gu Chenzi's head was hit directly into his chest. The corpse looked like a headless ghost, shaking a few times, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Zhai Xufei said: "When a person's soul disperses, it turns into a ghost. When a ghost dies, it turns into a demon. When a demon dies, it turns into a rarity. When a rarity turns into a barbarian, the barbarian ends and returns to the insignificant. The insignificant is the end of all things. The ghosts of the five dead should have ceased to exist, but somehow Gui Mang turned into the worst ghost among ghosts, dominating the Hateful Swamp. He is truly an alien."

Bei Tingjun hesitated and said, "Maybe...it is related to the secret of immortality in the Temple of Life."

Zhai Xufei shook his head and said, "That's just a legend. All the masters who went there to seek immortality have died."

Cheng Bai pondered, "Guitou Mountain is heavily guarded and has strict access control. We need to find a way to sneak in. Do you know how to become invisible or transform?"

Zhai Xufei leaned over to pick up Gu Chenzi's bell and badge, and said with a smile, "Do you want to disguise yourself as this ghost messenger to sneak in? That's a good idea."

Cheng Bai said: "Thank you, Master Zhai, for the change."

Zhai Xufei's majestic body shrank rapidly, and his clothes and physique became exactly the same as Gu Chenzi, but his head shook slightly and nine people came out.

He realized his mistake and said with a wry smile, "Nine heads are a special feature of our tribe, and it is difficult to change. Let me think of a long-term solution."

After pondering for a moment, Zhai Xufei's largest head in the middle maintained its patrol appearance, while the other eight heads slowly shrank into eight sharp corners, hidden among the disheveled hair and not very conspicuous.

Bei Tingjun giggled and said, "They look alike, really alike! If they weren't my biological parents, I would never be able to tell them apart."

Zhai Xufei carried a broadsword on his back and turned around twice with a bangling bell in his hand. He felt satisfied and turned around and said, "I have become better. How about you?"

Cheng Bai suggested: "Gu Chenzi said he can capture the woman, please ask Sister Bei to be humble and pretend to be a delicate girl and be chained, so that she can sneak into the cave with a legitimate reason."
