Xie Lian only felt layers of violent fluctuations coming from all directions,
An indescribably strange smell spread out.
Those yellow talismans,
Had actually all exploded!
As for the demons and ghosts that had stuck them on their heads, their solid heads exploded, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The hollow ones were directly blown out of shape, black smoke drifting in the air. In front of the mountain wall, ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard. Hua Cheng let go of Xie Lian's ears, seemingly unaffected. Xie Lian stood up,
Slightly shocked. He had just seen those yellow talismans one by one,
Indeed, they were the most common exorcism talismans,
How could they have such a terrifying effect?
At this time, a piece of paper slowly floated down from the sky full of black dust,
Xie Lian's eyes and hands were quick,
Holding it in front of his eyes, he immediately understood,
"How cunning."
This was the corner of a yellow talisman,
If it wasn't broken, he wouldn't have been able to see it,
It actually had two layers!
A layer of paper covered the top, drawing the most common talisman,
And an extremely thin layer of talisman paper, although it was already burnt to the point where it couldn't be seen,
Needless to say,
It must be the most vicious, most powerful talisman.
Dust flew everywhere, and in the midst of the blurred vision, many ghosts were still screaming.
It seemed that someone was taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Xie Lian immediately crouched down, and a ghost shouted, "Wait! The battle hasn't even started, why are you guys fighting already! "
"Yeah! Didn't we all say that before entering, we were all ghosts, we would peacefully coexist and think of a way to pass this mountain together?! "
A voice laughed sinisterly, "Idiots like you deserve to be eliminated in the first round! No one ever said when the battle would start. You're all opponents anyway, of course the earlier you get rid of, the better! Do you think we have to inform you in advance before we act? "
"Wait, wait! I quit! We haven't entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain yet! Can't I quit now?! "
"Where do you think this place is, that you can come and go as you please? You haven't entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain yet? Take a good look at where you are now! "
The dust dissipated a little, and when the ghosts could see clearly, they were all shocked, "Ah?! How could this be?! "
Not only them, but Xie Lian was also slightly shocked by the scene in front of him.
When they arrived, they were blocked by a mountain that they couldn't go around or climb over. However, when he looked again, he discovered that the mountain had disappeared.
No, it didn't disappear. It moved behind them.
Unknowingly, they had already entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain!
Xie Lian suddenly understood why Hua Cheng said there were landmarks in Bronze Cauldron Mountain. But don't believe them. Because these "landmarks" were like mischievous children, they could move on their own!
All of a sudden, Xie Lian heard a voice sneering behind him. "I'd like to see if you're a puppet doll or something else."
Deadly Swift Saber Demon!
Xie Lian fiercely turned his head back. However, before Ruo Xie could fly out, he saw a cold light flash. That Swift Sabre Demon didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before he was chopped into two at the waist!
Xie Lian moved forward to take a look. Sure enough, it had really been chopped neatly into two halves. This time, it really couldn't be more dead. He looked up and saw that it was the cloaked man who did it. He was slowly sheathing a long sword under the cloak and steadily walking over.
Xie Lian only felt that this figure and gait were somewhat familiar. He stood up and asked, "Sir, who are you?"
The man laughed lowly, as if he was about to answer, but he suddenly bent down. Seeing this, alarm bells rang in Xie Lian's mind. He focused on guarding against a sneak attack. But he saw that the man only bent down, one hand on the left and one on the right, holding onto the slender waists of two female ghosts. "Ladies, what's the matter?"
Xie Lian: "… …"
The two female ghosts were quite beautiful. Because they didn't use swords, they didn't stick the yellow talismans on them, so they escaped death. But they still fainted from the explosion. Now that they were in someone's embrace, they slowly woke up and said gratefully, "I'm fine, thank …"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish saying "thank you", the two female ghosts' expressions greatly changed. They pushed the cloaked man away and said, "Scram!" Then they hurriedly crawled to the side. After being slapped away, the man didn't get angry. He just seemed to feel strange. Rubbing his chin, he frowned and said, "This shouldn't be? This face isn't ugly, right? "
"… …"
Although he still hadn't taken off his disguise, Xie Lian already knew who he was. He said, "General Pei, why did you also come?"
The newcomer turned to him and smiled. He wiped his face with his hand and revealed his true appearance. It was Pei Ming!
He said, "Naturally, Di Jun sent me here to help Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Lian said, "Really? Then I'm really sorry. As you can see, it's quite dangerous here. "
Hua Cheng said, "Gege, you don't need to be embarrassed. He must have asked for a lot of benefits from Junwu."
Pei Ming walked in front of Hua Cheng and squatted down. Using his hand to measure his current height, he smiled and said, "I'm not seeing things, right? Don't tell me this is Your Excellency Blood Rain Tanhua? Sure enough, a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light. What did you eat to grow back? Ha … … "
Just as he made a "ha" sound, Xie Lian swung his silk ribbon at him, nearly sending him flying. Pei Ming narrowly avoided it and leapt backwards. He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, how much do you treasure Master Hua Cheng that you can't even make a joke?"
Xie Lian sternly said, "Are you really General Pei?"
Pei Ming patted the sword at his waist and showed it to him. He said, "I guarantee it's the real deal."
Xie Lian said, "If it's the real deal, then I'll directly return it."
Hua Cheng said, "Gege, just beat him to death. It's fake."
Pei Ming said, "Hey!"
Xie Lian said, "If you really are General Pei, then why did that yellow talisman leave a scorched mark on your forehead?"
Pei Ming said, "It's very simple. It's all because of this." As he said that, he threw a small object to Xie Lian. Out of caution, Xie Lian didn't catch it with his hand. He picked up the tip of the sword and brought it to his eyes. He said, "Candy?"
On the tip of the sword was indeed a small, shiny black candy. Pei Ming tossed another one into his mouth. He said, "This is a ghost-flavored candy ball I bought in the Ghost City. Chewing one will fill your mouth with ghost energy. It's quite useful when pretending to be something inhuman."
Xie Lian picked up that ghost-flavored candy ball and asked in surprise, "You can even buy such a magical thing in the Ghost City?"
Pei Ming ate the candy and said, "Ask Master Hua beside you. He knows best. You can buy anything in the Ghost City. It just depends on whether you have the means. The taste isn't bad. Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to try one? "
Xie Lian was also quite curious about what ghosts tasted like. He said to Hua Cheng, "If that's the case, then we should also buy some ghost-flavored candy balls before coming here."
Hua Cheng took the candy ball from his hand and said, "Gege, if there's anything you want from the Ghost City, you can just tell me. But don't eat this thing. "
"Why?"
Hua Cheng didn't use any strength in his hand. That candy ball shrieked and turned into a wisp of black smoke. He said, "Everything in the Ghost City is very dangerous. For example, this candy ball comes from a black workshop. Most of the ingredients are low-quality ghosts of unknown origins. After eating it, it's harmful to the body. "
Pei Ming didn't mind, "It's okay. I don't eat it often. It's just an emergency."
Hua Cheng continued, "And the smell is pungent. Priests and people can't smell it, but the lower the grade of the ghost, the more foul the smell. "
Pei Ming: "… …"
Hua Cheng laughed, "So, do you know why those two female ghosts told you to get lost?"
"… …"
Because they felt that the ghost energy on Pei Ming's body was extremely inferior and foul!
Xie Lian coughed lightly and tactfully said, "General Pei, this … … it's better if you don't eat it."
Pei Ming made a hand gesture and took out the remaining ghost-flavored candy balls and threw them all away. She said, "Fine, but right now we're only in the outermost layer of Bronze Cauldron Mountain. Once we enter, there will definitely be even more powerful demons and ghosts. They'll be able to tell that there's something wrong with us at a glance. What should we do then?"
The reason why those female ghosts flocked to Hua Cheng was probably because they liked his scent very much. The ghost energy that Hua Cheng gave him was definitely of the highest quality. There was indeed no need to buy ghost-flavored candy balls. However, if he didn't want others to see that the ghost energy came from the outside, he probably had to do it like the previous few times and exchange bodily fluids. Thinking of this, Xie Lian hurriedly stopped himself and seriously said, "I don't know either. I'm just a puppet doll. "
It meant that he was going to continue acting. Pei Ming said, "Alright. Your Highness, you have to follow your master closely. "
Xie Lian pretended not to hear and looked around. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many casualties right from the start."
Originally, there were more than four hundred demons and ghosts gathered here. Almost all of them died in the chaos just now. Xie Lian couldn't help but think of the scene that Hua Cheng demonstrated to him that night. It really wasn't an exaggeration. It was like a gust of wind blowing all the weeds away. There were less than a dozen of them who had escaped and were not completely dead yet. Their limbs were scattered all over the place, and they were moaning in pain. Hua Cheng stood in front of them and said, "Now do you know what kind of place Bronze Cauldron Mountain is?"
The surviving ghosts didn't dare to make a sound. Xie Lian said gently, "Right now, you are only in the outer layer and can still leave. If you don't want to go deeper and encounter more terrifying things, then wait here and find a chance to leave."
The ghosts had the same intention. Seeing that they didn't have any intention of silencing them, they hurriedly helped them up and hid as far away as possible. Looking at the retreating figures, Xie Lian said thoughtfully, "That Quick Killer Blade Demon might have an exaggerated name, but he's unexpectedly a powerful character. He's really ruthless."
Pei Ming agreed, "This thing is extremely scheming. He's been stirring up trouble since the beginning and is extremely quick to react. Your Highness, that sword of yours gave him the chance to use the trick of injuring himself to gain the confidence of others."
Xie Lian was startled. "Wait, that sword of mine? Which sword of mine? I didn't stab him? "
Pei Ming said, "You didn't? It was the sword on his lower abdomen. If he hadn't tried his best to create panic and the wound was stained with your spiritual aura, the other demons wouldn't have believed him and stuck talismans on their heads.
"
Xie Lian asked curiously, "To tell you the truth, I thought that sword was from you, General Pei?"
Pei Ming said, "Your Highness, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I don't do sneak attacks. "
Xie Lian said, "If it wasn't you or me, then was there a third Heavenly Judge? Or is there something wrong with the spiritual aura on the Quick Killer Blade Demon's wound … "He turned back to check again, but the place where the Quick Killer Blade Demon's corpse was cut up was empty.
He was stunned, "Where's the Quick Killer Blade Demon's corpse?"
Pei Ming was slightly astounded as well and said, "I clearly chopped him in half just now."
Hua Cheng said in a low voice, "Brother, be careful. In Bronze Cauldron Mountain, the more enemies you kill, the stronger you will become. "
