Chapter 1040 Xu Yang’s Questions
"Mr. Xu, you are so generous. Tomorrow at noon, you can come to the Mian Cui Pavilion to pick up the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast. We will discuss the matter of entrusting you to escort the goods to the Southern Region in detail at the Mian Cui Pavilion." Shopkeeper Jin clasped his hands in his fists and smiled slightly. He bowed and said with a smile on his face.
Xu Yang nodded, "It's settled, let's say goodbye first."
After that, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi turned around and left side by side.
A trap and murder scene was staged thrillingly in this woodland and ended with an unexpected ending.
Shopkeeper Jin nodded slightly as he watched Xu Yang and the two leave. He turned around and walked to the spider-faced ghost who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Only dramas with dead people are real enough. Spider-Faced Ghost, you acted very well this time. But you are just a puppet in my hands. If the string is broken, your life will be gone. This This drama is just the beginning, more exciting dramas are yet to come." Shopkeeper Jin had a wicked smile on his face.
After a pause, he continued: "Don't blame me for killing you. If I don't kill you, you will die in Xu Yang's hands. You didn't see the golden thunder strike he just struck. If it hits you, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to survive until now.”
After saying that, shopkeeper Jin waved his sleeve, and a ball of flames was thrown on the spider-faced ghost.
With a roar, the spider-faced ghost's body was ignited like straw. His remaining body was kneeling in the flames, finally being completely upright for once...
Shopkeeper Jin didn't even look at it again, turned around and left.
In the woodland, the night appears darker under the cover of the leaves above.
The treetops swayed, making a rustling sound, like the footsteps of clouds in the sky sneaking away. The moonlight struggled to squeeze through the gaps in the forest leaves, and clusters of light spots danced in the shadows.
Shopkeeper Jin's plump and round body moved nimbly through the forest, like a satiated and greedy night beast.
With no one around, shopkeeper Jin stopped and then made a move in the air with one hand.
Opposite the empty space, a black ghostly aura arose.
In the black ghost aura, a pitch-black ghost flag emerged like a black bird spreading its wings. Immediately, the surface of the pitch-black ghost flag trembled, spitting out a rolling mass of ghost mist.
The next moment, Gui Wu twisted and transformed into a huge tiger head, opened his mouth and swallowed Shopkeeper Jin whole.
The ghost mist subsided, leaving only a solitary black ghost flag in place.
"A new friend, welcome to the Seven Demons Ghost Banner." The voice of Zhang San, the Thousand-faced Ghost, came from the surface of the ghost banner, as if there was another small world in the ghost banner.
The surface of the ghost flag spread out, ripples appeared in the surrounding void, and then disappeared silently.
On the other side of the forest, on a hillside thirty miles away.
Two figures fled desperately in the night.
Running up the hillside, the two of them couldn't breathe and stopped temporarily.
One of them had a spider web-like pattern on his left cheek. The man's clothes were in tatters, exposing his entire back. There was a huge spider web on the surface of the back, and there were several frightened spiders crawling under the skin.
The other person had a square face and a strong build, but his right arm was more than two circles larger than his left arm. His exposed right hand was as big as a pot lid, covered with short dark green hairs, and looked like a weird bear's paw.
Without it, it would be Ye Hu and Black Hand Wolf who fled here in a panic.
"Second brother, stop running. Little brother, I really can't run anymore." Yehu put his hands on his knees, sweating profusely, and his face turned ugly.
Black Hand Wolf was also out of breath. He looked back for the first time, "It looks like Xu Yang didn't catch up. This is really good news."
At this moment, Ye Hu beside him started to tremble like chaff.
The parasitic spiders under Yehu's skin suddenly became crazy and devoured his blood soul. The blood vessels all over Yehu's body were wriggling like earthworms, and his body and limbs were bent at weird angles, showing a state of extreme pain.
ah--
With a strange cry, Yehu suddenly jumped up, hugged the black-handed wolf's thick right arm, opened his mouth at an incredible angle, and bit it. Suddenly his mouth turned red, like a crazy big mosquito.
Blackhand Wolf suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right arm. He was stunned for a moment, then he shook his right arm vigorously and tried to
Tu shakes off Yehu who sucks his own blood.
However, Ye Hu seemed to have grown on the huge arm of the black hand wolf, with his hands and feet wrapped around it, and he refused to let go.
"Ye Hu! You are crazy!" Black Hand Wolf shook his arm, "Why are you biting me? You, you suck my blood!"
The black-handed wolf suddenly felt his eyes go dark, the world was spinning, his blood and soul were in short supply, and his heart was beating wildly without rhythm.
After about ten breaths, Ye Hu jumped off Black Hand Wolf's arm.
With a pop, Ye Hu spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Boy, your blood really stinks. But it's a good thing you're here, otherwise the soul-eating spiders I fostered would have sucked me dry." Ye Hu wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves.
After sucking the blood, Ye Hu seemed to be a different person, his eyes were glowing green, his blood was running wildly, and he was even half a head taller. And the spiders hidden under his skin also quieted down, squirming slowly, enjoying the life of sucking blood.
The black hand wolf who was suddenly sucked by Ye Hu was sitting on the ground, his face was blue and purple, his eyes were rolling, foaming at the mouth, his limbs were stiff, and he was shaking constantly.
Seeing the appearance of Black Hand Wolf, Yehu spat, "I have grown so stupidly big for nothing. I can't bear this little blood. I only ate half full."
Ye Hu walked up to Black Hand Wolf and slapped a palm on Black Hand Wolf's shoulder. With a boost of magic power, black ghostly energy surged on the surface of the palm.
After a moment, Black Hand Wolf suddenly belched, then opened his mouth and vomited a pile of filth.
Huchi, wheeze.
Only then did he catch his breath.
Blackhand Wolf jumped up from the ground, hid three feet away, pointed at Ye Hu, "Fourth, your fucking mouth is poisonous. Don't I just owe you fifty high-grade spiritual stones? You are not like this. Bite me hard and suck my blood.”
As he spoke, Black Hand Wolf rubbed the bite mark on his right arm with his hand. His right arm was as hard as copper and iron, but unexpectedly a piece of it was bitten off.
"Fifty high-grade spiritual stones, canceled in one stroke. From now on, we two brothers will owe nothing to each other." Yehu said nonchalantly.
"That's fine, we don't owe each other. Although I, the Black Hand Wolf, am an evil cultivator who kills without batting an eyelid, I can't do anything if I don't pay back the money I owe. Great evil cultivators do things and don't do things." The black hand wolf said solemnly.
"We had a thorough plan this time, but we didn't expect that boy named Xu Yang to be so clever. If the boss hadn't intimidated the other one, I would have been poisoned by you and me." Ye Hu said with lingering fear.
"Yeah, maybe I'm going to the underworld now to chat with that guy from Golden Eyed Leopard. Then Xu Yang still calls himself Xu Xiaoxian. He's not an immortal, he's simply a devil." Black Hand Wolf wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
"Fortunately, Xu Yang didn't catch up." Ye Hu looked towards the direction he came from.
"With Big Brother's methods, the big-eyed little brother who was coerced by him will be severely injured. Xu Yang will definitely stay for treatment. There will be no time to chase us." Mafia Wolf said firmly.
Cough cough cough.
A few coughs suddenly came from behind the two of them, but they sounded like thunder in their ears.
Ye Hu and Black Hand Wolf jumped up and retreated three feet away.
As far as the eye can see.
At some point, a huge black ghost flag hung in the air on the opposite side.
On top of the ghost flag, stood a strange man with an ordinary appearance, wearing an ordinary yellow shirt, and with small eyes like soybeans. Like a night owl, staring at the night tiger and the black hand wolf.
When Black Hand Wolf and Ye Hu saw the visitor, they knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
All kowtowed.
Raising their heads, the two of them said in unison: "I welcome Lord Shadow."
Thousand-faced Ghost Zhang San flashed, pulled out a stream of black energy from behind, and came to the two of them.
"Get up."
"Master Shadow is on top, the younger one is only worthy of kneeling." The two of them lined up in unison. It's as if this line has been practiced many times.
Thousand-faced Ghost Zhang San raised one hand and threw two black pills.
Blackhand Wolf and Yehu were like trained wolf dogs. They jumped up from the ground and attacked each other respectively.
He held a pill in his hand. Then he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and swallowed it directly into his abdomen without chewing.
Thousand-faced Ghost Zhang San said: "These two pills can ensure that the poison of the cursed Tarsal Bone Pill in your body will not occur within a few months. You performed well in this mission."
"The little Yehu only obeys the leadership of Master Shadow."
"The little black-handed wolf is willing to do whatever he can for Lord Shadow."
"It is indeed an accident that Xu Yang was not killed by you. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Even if you four brothers fight together, you are no match for him. Next, you should go back to your old profession." Qian The face ghost Zhang Sandao.
"Thank you, Lord Shadow, for not blaming me." The two said in unison.
"Next, a batch of important cargo will be transported from the Northern Territory, and you two will escort it to the Southern Territory. The route and handover method are still the same. This time the cargo is of great importance. If you do a good job, I will consider completely removing it. The poison of the cursed tarsal bone is on you." Thousand-faced Ghost Zhang San stood with his hands behind his back and said in a serious tone.
"Take orders." The two of them knelt on the ground again, with joy on their faces. Removing the poison from their bodies was something they could only dream of. This kneeling is simply a matter of willingness.
Escort the goods to the Southern Region. Although there are some risks, the two are familiar with the journey. As long as you avoid the inspection of the sect forces in the northern region of the border, you can stay awake day and night. Even when people are inspected, most of them do so with little force. Taking advantage of the darkness to kill a few people was commonplace for the two of them.
"Your identities have been exposed. Don't go back to the Miancui Pavilion to hide for the time being. As for your boss, the spider-faced ghost, I have made new arrangements. You should also stop contacting him for the time being." Thousand Ghost Face Zhang San said.
"It all depends on Lord Shadow's arrangement." The two of them knelt down and responded in unison without raising their heads.
After a while, when there was no movement, the two of them raised their heads.
The opposite side was empty, with the Thousand-faced Ghost and his Seven Evil Ghost Flags gone.
Ye Hu and Black Hand Wolf got up from the ground.
"We must complete the next mission."
"As long as the poison of the curse is removed from our bodies, the two of us brothers can become true villains of the Spider Ghost Sect."
The two looked at each other with evil smiles on their lips, which was their long-lost yearning for freedom.
...
Cyclamen Inn.
Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi returned to the inn safely.
Mai Xiaoqi used his strongest method in the fight in the forest, which caused his body to be overdrawn. His body attribute was wood attribute. At Xu Yang's request, Qingmu Spiritual Body Technique was used to help him recover.
In Mai Xiaoqi's room.
Mai Xiaoqi sat cross-legged on the carpet. Xu Yang sat behind Mai Xiaoqi and placed a pair of palms on Mai Xiaoqi's back shoulders.
Xu Yang activated the Qingmu Spirit Body Technique, and the phantom of the emerald green fairy branches appeared behind him. Emerald green light patterns flickered on his palms, and powerful wood-attributed mana was injected into Mai Xiaoqi's body.
Mai Xiaoqi felt comfortable and warm all over, as if she was lying on a wicker chair in her grandmother's yard, enjoying the rising sunshine in the tribe.
After a stick of incense, Xu Yang stopped the technique.
"I didn't expect that such a small body like you could burst out with such powerful strength. Don't work so hard next time. Excessive use of the body will cause permanent damage to the meridians and physical body. Fortunately, your foundation is solid. This time It’s no big deal,” Xu Yang said.
Mai Xiaoqi did not respond.
Whirring whirring.
Mai Xiaoqi tilted her head and actually fell asleep while sitting down. There was a pure world hidden under her long eyelashes, and in the pure world there was a peaceful dream.
Seeing this, Xu Yang smiled slightly.
"He is really tired." Xu Yang turned and left the room, closing the door gently. Then he quietly placed a warning talisman outside the door, and then he felt relieved.
Xu Yang returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed, but he couldn't fall silent for a long time.
"In the new deal, what kind of goods do you want me to send to the Southern Territory? Shopkeeper Jin is not a simple person anyway. What secrets does he have? Can he really get the real Neptune Spirit Stone inner elixir? "
Sunrise, the sky is already bright outside the window.
