Chapter 793 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas and Orioles Behind (Second Update)
Cao Yue watched Zhou Shu stuff a large handful of healing pills into his mouth, with a worried look on his face.
After a while, Zhou Shu sighed.
Sure enough, it still didn't work.
His body was like a sieve, all the medicinal power could not be retained.
No matter how many pills he took, he couldn't restore his body to normal.
It seems that if you want to recover, the only way is to recast the magic map.
"Uncle—"
Cao Yue said, his face full of worry.
"I'm fine."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Our stay here is almost done, it's time to leave."
The ever-changing supernatural powers are time-sensitive, and can only last for a day and a night.
Counting the time, the supernatural powers he displayed on Dong Jian are ever-changing, and the time is almost up.
If you don't leave now, you will be caught by the Dong family.
It is said that Zhou Shu changed into Dong Jian's appearance, and in this stronghold of Dong's family, he also benefited a lot.
At least, I ate a delicious meal and took away a lot of healing pills.
He doesn't need these healing pills himself, and they can be worth a lot of money if they are sold.
In fact, at the beginning Zhou Shu deliberately teased Dong Jian, and took benefits from him, the purpose was to use the ever-changing supernatural powers on him, and at the same time get an item contaminated with his breath.
With Zhou Shu's current cultivation base of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Heart Technique, even if Dong Jian's hair and blood essence are not needed, as long as it is contaminated with his breath, it can be used.
It was also because of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Technique on Dong Jian that Zhou Shu was able to play Dong Jian in front of Dong's knights without any flaws.
"Uncle, according to your suggestion, I have already asked the Dong family for two strange beasts and a carriage."
Cao Yue nodded and said, "In the carriage, let them prepare food."
"very good."
Zhou Shu said a little tiredly, "Come and drive the car. After leaving here, go all the way east."
Although there is no need to consume spiritual energy to perform the ever-changing supernatural powers and Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique, what is consumed is Zhou Shu's spiritual power.
He was seriously injured, and his mental strength was not as good as before. Continuously displaying supernatural powers was also a very exhausting thing for him.
After getting into the carriage, Zhou Shu leaned on the soft seat and fell into a deep sleep in an instant.
...
"Boom—"
A figure fell from the sky, and with a loud noise, it hit the ground heavily.
Dong Qinglong landed with a group of knights, staring at the figure that smashed into the ground, and said coldly, "Catch it with all your hands, you will never escape today!"
"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate my Patriarch of the Dong family!"
The air waves rolled over him, ready to strike again at any time.
At this moment, there was a coughing sound, and the man slowly stood up amidst the smoke.
"Dong-qing-long! I will never forgive you! I'm really angry!"
The voice came, containing monstrous anger.
Dong Qinglong was taken aback, why did this voice sound so familiar?
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Dong Qinglong's eyes suddenly widened.
"Dong—Dong Jian?"
Dong Qinglong stammered.
The figure that came out of the smoke and dust was Dong Jian!
Not only the appearance, but also the aura on his body, it is the brother of the clan that I am very familiar with, Dong Jian!
How is this possible?
The one he attacked just now was clearly an assassin.
Moreover, Brother Dong Jian was obviously seriously injured and was recuperating in the city.
"You are not Dong Jian, who are you!"
Dong Qinglong took a step back involuntarily and said loudly.
Whether it's eyes or perception, the person in front of him is the genuine Dong Jian.
Dong Qinglong himself is a strong man in the Dongtian Realm. He was very confident in his eyes, but now, he is not confident.
What the hell is going on?
Which one is Dong Jian!
"Dong Qinglong! Are you blind and your head is broken?"
Dong Jian said angrily, "You have been fooled by others!"
If Zhou Shu were here, he would definitely laugh at Dong Jian.
With your brain, you still have the nerve to laugh at others?
"be cheated?"
Dong Qinglong frowned, "How do you prove that you are the real Dong Jian?"
"snort!"
Dong Jian snorted coldly, "There are three moles on your butt, and your dick is only three inches..."
Dong Qinglong's complexion changed drastically, and he let out a loud shout.
"Brother Jian! You are my brother Jian!"
He said loudly, interrupting Dong Jian's words, "Brother Jian, what's going on? Why did you become an assassin? And even your breath is the same as an assassin's?"
"How the hell do I know what's going on?"
Dong Jian's face was gloomy, and he said coldly.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "I know, it's those two people! It must be them, that person bumped into me!"
"It happened!"
As soon as he realized it, Dong Qinglong's expression changed drastically.
"There's Dong Jian in the city, he's seriously injured, and he's healing at our Dong family's base!"
Dong Qinglong said, "If Brother Jian is here, then Dong Jian in the city must be a fake!"
"injured?"
Dong Jian's eyes flashed, "How many people does he have?"
At this moment, Dong Jian's mind seemed to be enlightened, and he became smart all of a sudden.
"two……"
"It's them!"
Dong Jian said loudly, "Damn it, these two bastards have the ability to change, they can change into our appearance!"
Dong Jian looked at Dong Qinglong warily.
"Are you the real Dong Qinglong, or a fake?"
Dong Jian shouted loudly, the light on his body soared, if Dong Qinglong couldn't prove his innocence, he would choose to kill Dong Qinglong immediately!
The expression on Dong Qinglong's face froze suddenly, now it's Dong Jian's turn to doubt him?
What the hell is this?
He obviously came out to hunt down assassins, but in the end he made himself a suspect?
"Of course I'm real!"
Dong Qinglong said helplessly, "Brother Jian, when you were three years old..."
Dong Qinglong began to talk about the embarrassing things about Dong Jian when he was a child. The two were brothers of the same clan, and they grew up together when they were young. They even knew each other's size, not to mention some embarrassing things.
Dong Qinglong was clearly taking revenge on Dong Jian for saying in public that he was only three inches, and in front of all the knights of the Dong family, he exposed Dong Jian's childhood embarrassment.
By the time Dong Jian stopped him, he had already said several things.
"Okay, I believe you are the real Dong Qinglong!"
Dong Jian's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. On the one hand, it was because he was injured by Dong Qinglong before, and on the other hand, it was also because he was too embarrassing!
I will have no face to lead these knights in the future!
"The two of us have confirmed that it is true, what about them?"
Dong Jian pointed to the knights of the Dong family.
They suddenly discovered a huge problem.
If the other party really has the ability to change the body shape, even the breath can be completely changed, then any Dong family member may be transformed by the other party.
Who else can they trust?
"This must be reported to the family at once."
Dong Jian said with a solemn expression, even if he is not smart, he is aware of the seriousness of the problem, "We can't chase anymore, when there is no way to ensure that the people around us are really our own, if we continue to chase, we won't Have any effect!"
"That's right, let's go back to the family now, the Patriarch and the Supreme Elder will definitely find a way!"
While talking, Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong didn't even have time to verify the authenticity of those knights, so they soared into the sky and headed for the Dong family's headquarters.
Those knights looked at each other, and kept a safe distance away from each other very tacitly, and then followed Dong Jian and the two into the sky.
Now they feel that everyone around them is very suspicious, and all the comrades who fought side by side can't be trusted now. This is almost a devastating blow to the knights of the Dong family.
...
The reactions of Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong were within Zhou Shu's expectation.
He let the other party discover the ever-changing existence of magical powers, and he wanted the Dong family to fall into self-doubt.
After all, his top priority now is to retrieve the Heavenly Emperor Sword, not to entangle with the Dong family.
The ever-changing power of supernatural powers, no one in the world knows better than Zhou Shu.
At that time, Zhou Shu relied on his magical powers to change and change, and almost turned the demon world upside down.
As long as the Dong family discovers the ever-changing supernatural powers, they will definitely suspect each other. Before this problem is resolved, they will have no time to trouble the villagers of Jieqiao Village.
In this way, Zhou Shu can look for the Heavenly Emperor Sword with peace of mind.
In fact, Dong's reaction was exactly as Zhou Shu expected.
This kind of supernatural power of changing body shape and even changing breath at will may not be worth mentioning in terms of lethality, but its effect can be called against the sky.
A big family, when everyone is untrustworthy, this family will definitely fall into chaos.
"Uncle, it has been three months, and the Dong family has not caught up again. We are safe."
While driving the alien beast car, Cao Yue turned his head and said to Zhou Shu in the car.
"Well, they are probably busy investigating whether there are any counterfeit products in the family."
Zhou Shu's voice came, it's useless to investigate this kind of thing, every time you meet, you have to confirm the identity of the other party.
Zhou Shu didn't think that a mere Dong family could have the means to decipher the ever-changing magical powers.
"What's ahead?"
Inside the carriage, Zhou Shu sat cross-legged, feeling the existence of the Heavenly Emperor Sword with all his heart.
"Uncle, the front is Dongjiabao, which is the headquarters of Zhu Rongtian's Dongjia."
Cao Yue's face was a bit strange, but he still replied, "The direct line of the Dong family lives here."
"The ancestor of the Dong family is one of the nine generals around Emperor Zun. He has a high position and authority. Uncle, do we really want to attack Dong Jiabao?"
There was actually a little excitement in Cao Yue's voice.
A simple mountain village boy turned into a militant in a short period of time!
"Um?"
Zhou Shu opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face.
Such a coincidence?
He sensed that the Heavenly Emperor Sword was within a thousand li radius, and if there was no breath, could it be that the Heavenly Emperor Sword fell into the hands of the Dong family?
He had no idea of Zhu Rongtian's direction at all, and he just followed the aura of the Heavenly Emperor Sword to let Cao Yue drive the car. Unexpectedly, before he knew it, they came to the Dong family's base camp.
If the Heavenly Emperor Sword really fell into the hands of the Dong family, it would be a little troublesome.
The Dong family is currently in a state of turmoil, and it will not be too difficult to mix into the Dong family at this time.
"Cao Yue, go in first and find an inn to stay."
Zhou Shu pondered.
He once dreamed of Dong Jian and had a certain understanding of Dong Jiabao.
Although Dongjiabao sounds like a manor, it is actually a city, a big city with a radius of a hundred miles.
Not only the direct line of the Dong family lived in it, but also many side branches, including people with foreign surnames.
After all, the core members of the Dong family have to eat and drink, and they also need someone to serve them.
This Dongjiabao is the largest and most prosperous city in the area controlled by the Dongjia!
Of course, outsiders cannot easily enter the place where the core members of the Dong family live.
The place where Zhou Shu and Cao Yue entered was only the outer city of Dongjiabao.
In the base area of the Dong family before, Zhou Shu looted a lot of money. During these days, they have always spent money from the Dong family for food and lodging, and it is the same now...
Directly renting a private house in the best inn in Dongjiabao, anyway, the money was spent from the Dong family, Zhou Shu didn't feel bad at all.
After the money is spent, just go to Dong's house to get some more.
"Cao Yue, go out and find out, and see what major events have happened in Dongjiabao in the past year."
Zhou Shu called Cao Yue and said, "Be careful, don't be targeted."
Since Cao Yue decided to follow him, he was doomed to face wind and rain in the future.
Zhou Shu is also deliberately training Cao Yue.
After all, when he was dreaming of Dong Jian, he hadn't gotten any news about the Heavenly Emperor Sword. If he went outside to inquire, it would be strange if Cao Yue could find out about the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Cao Yue didn't know so much, he only knew that he could do what Zhou Shu ordered with his heart.
"Yes, uncle, I'll go right away."
Cao Yue said.
Zhou Shu didn't use his supernatural powers to change him. Dong's family had never seen Cao Yue's original appearance.
Moreover, Cao Yue's supernatural powers, benevolence, righteousness, and incomparable power have long since failed. Now he is just an ordinary boy without the slightest cultivation.
When he walked on the street, no one would take a second look at him.
After Cao Yue left, Zhou Shu also left the inn and walked slowly to the street.
After several months of recuperation, although Zhou Shu's injury has not improved, fortunately, it has not deteriorated either.
Now he can barely move freely like an ordinary person.
He was walking on the street, seemingly wandering. In fact, if anyone noticed the route he was walking, they would definitely find that Zhou Shu was walking in a straight line.
Feeling the aura of the Heavenly Emperor Sword, he came to a magnificent castle step by step.
"Is it really at Dong's house?"
Zhou Shu muttered to himself, coming here, he no longer had any luck in his heart.
The Heavenly Emperor Sword really fell into the hands of the Dong family.
If he wanted to get back the Heavenly Emperor Sword, it seemed that he had to go to the Dong family's stronghold.
When Zhou Shu dreamed of Dong Jian, he knew something about the situation in the Dongjiabao base camp.
In the Dong family's base camp, there are no fewer than a hundred Dongtian Realm powerhouses resident, and there are even an unknown number of Supreme Elders.
The cultivation bases of those Supreme Elders are all in the realm of law.
Although Zhou Shu sometimes looked down upon the Dong family, in fact, the strength of the Dong family was not weak at all.
They are stronger than the human race before defeating Xuan Mingtian.
Only relying on supernatural powers, Renyi Wushuang and Cao Yue alone, trying to enter the Dong family's stronghold to get back the Heavenly Emperor Sword is tantamount to a dream.
Even if he has supernatural powers, benevolence and righteousness, Cao Yue's ability to defeat a few earth immortals is already the limit. Any Dongtian realm can make him irreversible, not to mention that the Dong family still has the law realm.
Zhou Shu could use his supernatural powers to infiltrate the Dong family's stronghold, but he was seriously injured. This feature cannot be concealed. Even if he becomes too similar, he can be easily debunked.
As for Cao Yue...
Letting Cao Yue infiltrate the Dong family's stronghold alone is no different from sending a little sheep to a pack of hungry wolves.
While Zhou Shu was pondering, suddenly, he saw two people appearing at the gate of the Dong family's base camp.
Those two people, like two door gods, stood on both sides of the gate.
Seeing those two people, Zhou Shu was a little speechless.
Those two people were none other than Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong!
It seems that the two of them have proved their innocence, and they have had contact with themselves before, so they were sent to guard the gate.
It must be that someone can change into one of them at will, which really scared the Dong family.
In this way, it will be even more difficult for Zhou Shu to get involved.
There was a wry smile on Zhou Shu's face, he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.
But even if it happened again, he would still do it.
Under the circumstances at that time, apart from this method, there was no better way to get him out of the pursuit of the Dong family and protect the safety of everyone in Jieqiao Village.
"If you think that you will be safe in this way, then you are underestimating me, Zhou Shu."
Zhou Shu muttered to himself, he was about to leave, and just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.
At the other end of the street, a figure sneaked past.
"It's him? Why is he here?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, feeling a little rejoiced in his heart.
Fortunately, before he left the inn, he carefully applied the supernatural power to himself, otherwise his current whereabouts might have been leaked.
"Ju Zhi Xing!"
Zhou Shu muttered to himself.
The flashing figure was a face that Zhou Shu had never seen before.
But Zhou Shu was very familiar with the aura on his body.
That's the breath of someone who has practiced the method of self-control!
Except for Zhou Shu, the only person in the world who knows how to transform himself freely is Mu Zhixing!
That figure that disappeared in a blink of an eye was most likely the incarnation of Mu Zhixing!
This guy Mu Zhixing is extremely afraid of death, he tried his best to obtain his method of self-control, the purpose is that when doing things, he doesn't need to send out his own deity, just send out an avatar.
That's what he did when he went to Guanghan Palace before, and if it wasn't for Zhou Shu's reason, his true self would never have appeared in Guanghan Palace.
Now the incarnation of Mu Zhixing has appeared outside Zhu Rongtian's Dong family's base camp, and it seems to have malicious intentions at a sneaky look. Could it be that this Dong family also hides something similar to Guanghan Palace? Aroused the interest of Mu Zhixing?
"Mu Zhixing is not a good thing. If he does something to the Dong family, I can fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to get back the Heavenly Emperor Sword."
Zhou Shu touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Mu Zhixing, probably never thought that he would appear here. Looking at his appearance just now, it seems that he also wanted to attack the Dong family secretly. The mantis catching cicadas and orioles were behind him. When he was in Guanghan Palace, Mu Zhixing cheated himself , this time, it's my turn!
