Chapter 241: Alert
Chapter 241: Alert
In the Hanyu Mountain, Lu Heng and the old monk toasted and laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, in the city of Yaoxing over 4,000 kilometers away from Han Yu Mountain, a red-haired woman walked out of the city gate.
Around the city gate, the wizards of the Fire God Temple had already set up a guard to block the entrance and prevent outsiders from approaching.
In the sky, the wandering wizards transformed into white mist, constantly patrolling and keeping a close eye on the strange figure on the ground below.
Above the city gate, the flickering flames stimulated the anti-demon and expelling evil formation, which was now activated.
And the stationed wizards in the city were scattered on the city walls, in the woods, and in the air, presenting a formidable formation, closely watching the small figure crouched on the avenue.
When Lianshan Jing walked out, the wizard quickly approached and reported to her.
"My lord, this is the demon who wishes to see you..."
After the wizard finished speaking, Lianshan Jing looked at the small figure that was surrounded by the wizards.
She was a little surprised.
"You're looking for me?" Lianshan Jing asked.
Under the starry sky, what appeared in front of Lianshan Jing was a small and ugly monster with half of its body purple-black and its flesh rotting.
The whole body of this small monster is rotting, emitting a strong stench.
On its way, there was also a lot of foul-smelling blood and water left behind.
Even the cultivators couldn't help but frown at the strange smell carried by the night breeze.
Because within that disgusting stranger-smell, there was a very toxic demonic energy. For divine cultivators, this poisonous demonic energy is as nausea-inducing as rotten stinky water.
In the pool of blood, the small monster can no longer be recognized, and one can only surmise that it is not tall, with a small frame and a bone structure that resembles that of a child.
When Lianshan Jing arrived, the small monster that had been curled up on the ground could no longer even emit a hoarse scream, it could only breathe heavily and was already in a dying state.
In fact, when Lianshan Jing saw this small monster, she couldn't help but be surprised... This monster had been so severely injured and yet it still hadn't died?
It's unbelievable that it managed to hold on until it crawled here to find her with its last breath... How tenacious its belief must be.
Seeing that she didn't get a response, Lianshan Jing intensified her tone, "I am the lord of Fire Pass Country, Lianshan Jing. You can tell me anything you want to say."
This time, the ugly figure curled up on the ground finally heard it.
It painfully lifted its half-decomposed head and the twisted and distorted black eye sockets faced the red-haired woman in front of it. Although its eyeballs were gone, it seemed to have still seen Lianshan Jing's figure.
The tiny monster breathed a long sigh of relief - in just that moment, Lianshan Jing felt as if the flickering flame of its life force had trembled and almost extinguished.
She frowned and whispered sternly, "You still have something to say, it won't hurt to say it before you die!"
In Lianshan Jing's low and stern voice, there was a hint of soul-stirring power.
The tiny monster with the violently shaking flame of life suddenly shuddered and then remembered something.
"Yes...I...I still have something to say..."
In the stinking blood, the tiny monster hoarsely said, "I...I only tell you...this is a huge secret, only you can know..."
After the little monster finished speaking, Lianshan Jing didn't care about how the surrounding wizards reacted and directly waved her hand, summoning a fiery storm.
Intense flames started to burn around her and the tiny monster, turning into a massive formation of flames that covered the two of them.
The firelight cast a red glow on Lianshan Jing's face, and she calmly spoke, "I have set up a formation so that our conversation can only be heard by you and me, others cannot know. So, say what you need to say, no one can hear us except for me."
Lianshan Jing's words made the little monster breathe a sigh of relief. Then it difficultly lifted its head and spoke to Lianshan Jing.
"I...I am one of the Erba God Men under the command of the Emperor, charged with guarding the River Map and the Luo Book on the Emperor's behalf."
"You...You are the master of Fire Pass Country and a messenger of the Vermilion Bird God. You should inform the Fire God Vermilion Bird of my situation."
"A mysterious devil has appeared in Fire Pass Country and has set its sights on the River Map and the Luo Book."
"It...It has a tool named Soul-Locking Chain, extremely poisonous. My fifteen siblings have all fallen into its hands, even the Emperor's resurrection secret technique cannot be used..."
In the pool of blood, the stinky little monster was howling painfully.
With every word it spoke, its decaying form became more severe.
Having escaped all the way to this place, it had exhausted all of its mental strength, relying on the last bit of breath withheld in its heart to support it until here.
Now that it had let out this last breath, every sentence it spoke caused its decaying body to worsen, and the foul stench became even more unbearable.
But in the midst of the flames, Lianshan Jing remained solemn and didn't interrupt its last words.
Even though she heard this little monster calling himself the Erba God Man, she was not any less surprised... could these monsters really come back to life after being killed once?
However, now it had clearly encountered an even more vicious opponent, and the resurrection technique no longer worked...
In the midst of the flames, Lianshan Jing listened to the little monster's full story, listening to it scream and shout.
"Tell the Fire God to go... go to the Three Islands on the Sea and retrieve the River Map and the Luo Book."
"After my fifteen siblings died, the seal on the River Map and the Luo Book loosened and we must...we must retrieve it ahead of time!"
"Handle with care!"
"One day it will surely play a great role...a great role!"
Almost from the depths of its soul, the little monster let out a final howl. After it finished howling, its rotten body fell heavily into the pool of blood.
It seems to have already breathed its last breath.
Regarding this, Lianshan Jing felt puzzled in her heart.
She had no idea why the little monster, which she had killed once before, came to her for help when it was dying. Did it really believe that she could take care of this matter?
Or perhaps, this little monster believed firmly that the Fire God would take care of this matter?
But that silly bird, it probably can't even step out of the door now...
As for other titles like the Emperor, the River Map and the Luo Book, Three Islands on the Sea... These words are all extremely unfamiliar to Lianshan Jing.
But it is very clear that it is related to the very ancient ages of the past.
The Fire God definitely knows.
And this little monster came to find her, perhaps it and the Fire God were already acquainted from the ancient times...
Lianshan Jing's mind was pondering. She was about to dispel the fiery formation, but then she heard a very slight and delicate murmuring from the blood pool.
"Hanyu Mountain's Wolf God... is an evil demon..."
"In the ancient times... one of the evil demons who besieged the Emperor..."
"Be careful... be... careful..."
Whispering these final parting words, the little monster finally completely decayed and turned into a pool of incredibly putrid pus before Lianshan Jing's eyes.
This time, it died completely, even the soul perishing with the flesh and blood.
However, compared to this foul blood water, what was even more difficult for Lianshan Jing to accept, was the little monster's final parting words.
Hanyu Mountain's Wolf God... is an evil demon?!
She looked towards the direction of Hanyu Mountain in disbelief, wondering if this little monster had gone crazy.
Could that Wolf God who cultivates the Heavenly Thunder Path, be an ancient evil demon?!
What a joke!
