Chapter 1920: The Insect Pond
"By the way, I would like to ask if there is a fixed place to come to the demon world through this method?"
Seeing that the formation was about to be activated, Song Yaoguang seemed to suddenly think of something and asked.
"Of course not! Stop asking such meaningless questions and concentrate!"
Wang Cheng couldn't understand why Song Yaoguang would question such an obvious thing, and immediately replied impatiently.
Song Yaoguang didn't pay attention to Wang Cheng's attitude. He glanced at Luo Hong beside him and saw him nodding slightly towards him.
The next moment, the green light above the altar skyrocketed, and everyone was sucked into the altar with a "whoosh" sound.
Sima Lei stopped casting spells at this moment, but looked in the direction of the Demon Realm, as if muttering to himself:
"I'm starting here. Let your adults keep an eye on it and don't make any mistakes!"
"Junior, I will go back and report now."
A human voice suddenly came out from a group of shadows, and then disappeared immediately with a weak power of law.
At the same time, Luo Hong and others, who were traveling through the earth veins at high speed, felt that they were squeezing through narrow gaps, which was quite uncomfortable!
Fortunately, the teleportation process did not take long. After just over thirty breaths, they were squeezed out of the earth's veins and appeared in the air in a state of embarrassment.
As soon as he stabilized his body, Wang Cheng looked around and saw that under their feet was a rather muddy black land, mixed with many rock clusters, exuding a sour smell.
"This is the Insect Pond of the Demon Realm. We haven't strayed too far."
As the name suggests, Wan Insect Pond is a place where demon insects gather, and it is considered a dangerous place in the Demon Realm.
But here, only the dung beetle demon clan has some strength, and the rest of the demon insects are no match for these Taiyi monks.
However, just as Wang Cheng relaxed, he saw Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang using their protective measures, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Hmph! As timid as a mouse!"
Wang Cheng immediately cursed with disdain.
"Giggle, you two are really cautious. There is still no movement at all, so you are making such a fuss. If there is really a demonic insect attacking, you must not immediately take desperate measures!"
The beautiful woman with black lips covered her mouth and smiled softly, her words full of mockery towards Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang.
"Haha, if you only have this much courage, you two should have found a demon city to hide in, so as not to embarrass our heavenly monks!"
A heavily armored man carrying a sledgehammer on the side also shook his head and smiled.
However, Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang ignored them and were busy transmitting messages to each other.
"Brother Luo, how are you?"
"No surprise, it's coming!"
Song Yaoguang immediately became more vigilant after hearing this. She was the only one who knew that what Luo Hong said was not an accident, but meant it was an accident.
Because as long as they are randomly teleported, they will never be safe. There will be changes when they land. There is obviously no accident this time.
As soon as the heavily armored man finished speaking, Wang Cheng's expression suddenly froze and he quickly looked towards the ground.
"not good!"
As soon as the exclamation came out, the ground exploded, and a huge worm with a black back and a white belly and a human face on its head soared into the sky, opened its huge mouth, and bit into the heavily armored man. !
"What!"
The heavily armored man was suddenly attacked, but he still reached out and patted his chest in time, activating the immortal armor on his body, making it appear like magma-like lines, and instantly condensed a layer of Extremely thick red mask.
But at this time, a stream of black-green slurry suddenly spurted out from the mouth of the human-faced worm, and almost all of it was poured on the red light mask.
"ah!!!"
Immediately, everyone heard a scream. It turned out that the red mask was corroded by the black-green slurry. The remaining slurry fell on the heavily armored man's body, immediately causing many pustules to grow on the skin of his face. .
Everyone took a closer look and saw that there were insect shadows squirming in the pustules, as if they were trying to break out of the eggs!
"Master!"
As soon as the huge mouth closed, the heavily armored man was swallowed by the human-faced worm.
It was only then that the Golden Immortal monk beside the heavily armored man reacted and shouted with great grief and anger.
"What kind of demonic insect is this? How could it be bad? Be careful!"
Just as someone was about to marvel, they felt more aura rushing in, and they immediately wanted to stand taller.
But as soon as the light started to shine on everyone, they saw that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be boiling, and worms with human faces kept breaking out of the ground and attacking them!
Even though Wang Chengnai was a monk in the late Taiyi period, he was quite embarrassed to deal with it at this time, let alone the beautiful black-lipped woman and others.
Their situation can be described as "dangerous".
Of course, the only ones who could handle it well among the crowd were Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang.
Because they were prepared in advance and the fairy weapons had been sacrificed in advance, when the human-faced worms attacked, the two of them knocked them all down like whack-a-mole.
"Fellow Taoists, these are dung beetles and demonic insects. You must never use magical powers to absorb their venom. You can only use fairy weapons to deal with them!"
After finally finding an opening, Wang Cheng quickly reminded everyone.
If this assessment had just begun and ended like this, his guilt would definitely not be small!
Upon hearing this, the beautiful black-lipped woman threw her hand and threw a spear, directly between the eyebrows of an attacking dung beetle.
However, with a "ding" sound, the spear bounced directly between his eyebrows, leaving nothing but a white mark.
"That human face is a bait, attack those white parts!"
Seeing that the black-lipped beauty was almost swallowed because of a momentary mistake, Wang Cheng immediately added in a hurry.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a golden long knife slashing quickly, directly disemboweling a dung beetle demon insect.
The insect let out a whine, not caring about the organs that were spilled all over the ground, and burrowed back into the ground.
"It's her! How hateful!"
Seeing this, Wang Cheng wanted to praise her so that the others would follow suit, but he found that it was Song Yaoguang who slashed the knife, so he had to swallow his words back.
After Song Yaoguang successfully forced back a dung beetle demon insect, everyone gradually stood firm and recovered from the panic of being attacked.
After all, the highest cultivation among these dung beetle demon insects was only the first one in the middle stage of Taiyi. As long as they knew how to deal with it, it was not difficult to deal with it.
But the problem was that they seemed to have just teleported into the nest of the dung beetle demon worms, and it took several more days to completely resolve the crisis.
Except for the unlucky heavy-armored man at the beginning, no one else died.
There was only one person who was seriously injured, and that was the golden immortal helper brought by the heavy-armored man, who was also his disciple.
He flew to the ground, stretched out his hand to grab a pile of disgusting worm organs, and immediately took out a round-headed giant hammer.
Holding the only relic left by the heavy-armored man, the golden immortal flew to Wang Cheng, saluted and said:
"Master, I can no longer continue this assessment. Please tell me where the nearest demon city is?"
Wang Cheng knew that the other party planned to hide in the demon city and leave the demon domain after the assessment period.
And this is exactly what the heavy-armored man just laughed at Luo Hong and the others!
Although Wang Cheng felt ashamed, he couldn't say no. He could only take out a jade slip and throw it to the other party as if he had eaten a fly.
"You guys come together. There is no one else here except us. This prison envoy will assign you the task location."
As he said that, Wang Cheng took out more similar jade slips and threw them to Song Yaoguang and others who were flying over.
Later, after taking the jade slips from Song Yaoguang, Luo Hong scanned it with his consciousness, and a regional map of the Demon Realm was imprinted in his soul.
Although this map only includes a corner of the Demon Realm, it is marked in great detail, making the dangers and resources of each place clear at a glance.
The Ten Thousand Insects Pool where they are currently is also in it. The dangers marked on it are Taiyi demon insects such as dung beetle demon insects, and its resources are the eggs of dung beetle demon insects.
According to the jade slips, the eggs of this demon insect are the main material for refining the fifth-grade Taiqing Pill, which is very helpful for the cultivation of Taiyi cultivators!
However, it is useless to the demons, so this place is so deserted.
It’s just that the Demon Realm has always traded with the Immortal Realm, and Guangyuanzhai was set up for this purpose, so the dung beetle eggs here have long been collected by the demon cultivators, and they can’t expect to get this bargain now.
“According to the time, Han Lao Mo and his men should have come out of the Gray Realm. The next time I see Shi Chuankong, I can ask him to exchange part of my reward for these dung beetle eggs so that Han Lao Mo can refine a few furnaces of Dao Dan.”
While planning, Luo Hong put down the jade slip and prepared to see how Wang Cheng would make trouble.
“According to the requirements of Sima Yuzhu, you need to complete the assessment task alone, so you must disperse to the nearby demon beast gathering place.
Li Moxian, you go east to the Thousand Demon Cave.
Nan Zhengli, you go southeast, Snake Bone Ridge is up to you.
Lv Xiaozhi.”
As he named the names one by one, Wang Cheng assigned the task location to everyone.
However, Song Yaoguang didn’t hear her name for a long time, which made her feel bad.
"Song Yaoguang, go north, the Ten Suffering Mountains are your mission location."
Until the end, Wang Cheng looked at Song Yaoguang and smiled sinisterly.
Everyone couldn't help but say "as expected" in their hearts when they heard this. This Song Yaoguang really offended Wang Yushi badly.
Song Yaoguang's face changed immediately. Although she didn't know much about the Demon Realm, she had heard of the famous Ten Suffering Mountains.
The reason why this mountain range got the name "Ten Sufferings" is because there are ten demon beasts with the cultivation level of Daluo in it. It has long been a disaster for the border and is an extremely dangerous place!
In addition, in order to resist the invasion of demon beasts, the demons have arranged Daluo demon cultivators to guard the nearby big cities.
This is also very inconvenient for their actions!
So, Song Yaoguang frowned and said:
"Prison Master Wang, the Ten Suffering Mountains should be considered in the wilderness, not in the Demon Realm, right?
Is it inappropriate for you to arrange me there?"
"Fellow Daoist Song, Prison Master Sima told me before that all the areas on the map can be used as assessment locations.
You are questioning Prison Master Sima's decision by saying this now?"
Wang Cheng said with great satisfaction.
Don't you like to take advantage of the situation?
I'll let you taste it yourself!
Song Yaoguang opened and closed his mouth, not knowing how to refute.
At this time, Luo Hong on the side suddenly spoke:
"Of course we dare not question Prison Master Sima's decision, but the Ten Suffering Mountains are indeed much more dangerous than other places, so for fairness, our performance after completing the task should be improved.
I believe that with Prison Master Sima's character and intelligence, he will definitely not fail to think of this.
Prison Master Wang needs more understanding to keep up with Prison Master Sima's pace."
"What did you say!"
Wang Cheng was furious when he heard this and glared at Luo Hong.
If it were an ordinary golden immortal, he, a Taiyi cultivator, would be so oppressed by his aura that he would be unable to retreat. However, Luo Hong seemed to be okay at this moment and continued:
"Oh? The prison envoy is so angry, but he doesn't agree with what this junior said?
Then I dare to ask whether the prison envoy Wang does not recognize the conduct of Prison Master Sima, or does he underestimate the intelligence of Prison Master? "
Wang Cheng's eyes twitched twice and he didn't dare to answer Luo Hong's words.
Seeing him like this, Luo Hong knew that this guy couldn't make any waves.
He didn't even think about it, could it be the same before and now?
In the past, Sima Lei could show up at any time, but now, he can't just pull the flag!
"Hmph! With sharp teeth and sharp tongue, so what if this prison envoy promises you! You won't even be able to come back alive by then!"
Although Wang Cheng's tone was still unkind, he was undoubtedly giving in now.
After assigning the assessment location, everyone set off.
As an assessor, Wang Cheng would travel around, observing assessors overtly or covertly, and recording their performance.
But since everyone needs to travel for a while now, he is naturally not in a hurry to work.
On the way to the Shiwan Mountains, Song Yaoguang felt funny when he thought of Wang Cheng's deflated appearance.
But thinking that the result didn't change much, a sad look appeared on her face again.
"Brother Luo, the Shiwan Mountain Range is extremely dangerous. Although you have helped me gain some convenience, it cannot reduce the danger much.
In my opinion, we should just stay on the outskirts of the mountain range and look for an early-stage Taiyi monster to capture. "
"Haha, don't worry about Yaoguang. Do you know why Luo wants to stay and travel in the Demon Realm so much?"
Luo Hong chuckled at the moment.
"Isn't Brother Luo here for the cultivation resources that are specialties of the Demon Realm?"
Song Yaoguang said with some doubts.
“This is just one of them, mainly because Luo once befriended a prince of the demon clan by chance.
Although the other party is not an important figure among all the princes and princesses, his noble status is enough to help us a lot in this assessment! "
What Luo Hong was talking about was Shi Chuankong. He had people in the Demon Realm, so naturally he would not be willing to just complete the task honestly.
"Brother Luo has such an opportunity! However, this move breaks the rules. If Wang Cheng knows about it."
Song Yaoguang was not a pedantic person. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he wanted to agree.
But when she thought of Wang Cheng, she couldn't help but have new worries.
"Haha, does Yaoguang think he has the guts to go deep into the Shiwan Mountains?"
Luo Hong didn't take it to heart at all.
