Chapter 0470 Magic Fruit
The entrance to the demon mountain.
The dragon king Yin Shengqian stood on the top of the tree tower, his legs tightly entangled by green branches and vines, as if they were grown together. He was enduring severe pain, but he still refused to accept it and shouted at the giant demon king who was high above him.
"Wake up, giant demon king! You can't fight the Taoist sect by yourself. You sacrificed hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, but in the end you only helped the Taoist sect a lot... woo woo."
What came out of Yin Shengqian's mouth was no longer words, but a rapidly growing branch. Then, fresh tree buds emerged from his ears, nostrils and hair. He could no longer speak, and his whole body shook violently. After a moment, he revealed his true form - a dragon covered with iron-blue scales.
The Iron-backed Flood Dragon grew against the wind, and soon it was taller than the tree tower. Its snake-like body twisted and grew upwards, its mouth opened wide, its long tongue hanging out, like a tired dog, its slanted fangs like randomly inserted daggers, its gray belly covered with dark brown spots, rising and falling violently, causing the scales all over its body to shine with cold light.
The night was deep, and the green light from the surrounding Demon Fire Towers was brighter, giving the Flood Dragon a strange color.
The dragon head soon surpassed the position where Qi Wushang stood, and it grew several more meters before stopping. The dragon's body bent, and its head hung down to a position slightly lower than the Giant Demon King. Its bulging red eyes revealed cruelty and dullness at the same time, like a vicious dog that had been chained since childhood and never knew what it was to run freely.
"You think I'm wrong only because you know nothing. You are a stupid and arrogant dragon, unworthy of being a powerful demon. Lead your tribe to the battlefield, regardless of age, all living dragons must go, leaving all the dragon eggs behind. Go kill, go bleed, and fight to the death."
"Fight to the death." The dragon king repeated, suddenly soaring into the sky, his long body like a river flowing against the current, it took a while to completely disappear, leaving a strong smell of seawater, which lingered for a long time.
Qi Wushang turned around and looked at the guest, his back actually straightened a little.
"Demon seeds. Mu Xingqiu recognized that Qi Wushang's fire eyes and the tree tower both contained demon seeds.
"You are not unfamiliar with demon seeds. "Qi Wushang's voice was as weak as an old man in his twilight years.
Mu Xingqiu decided to take action at this moment. Although he still had many questions that had not been answered, there was no need to waste time on this. Qi Wushang was the source of everything, and killing him would make things simple.
The Giant Demon King would not be so careless as to let an enemy get so close to him, but Mu Xingqiu still had to try it. He always had a little doubt about the results of simple inferences, and he had to try it. Since the demon species needed his body, he had a little presumptuous qualification.
The lightning created by the seventh-level illusion disappeared as soon as it came out of his sleeves. It was only a few inches long. To be precise, the shape of the lightning disappeared. The mana emitted by Mu Xingqiu was still there, but it deviated from his will. It did not attack Qi Wushang, who was a few steps away, but quickly poured out to the ground outside the tower.
Mu Xingqiu finally reacted quickly and forcibly stopped the spell.
"Be careful." Qi Wushang said, not caring about the assassination against him this time, "Now is not the time to wake him up. Here, only the demon species can cast spells. "
The Amber Taoist Meng Yuanhou was hiding deep underground, absorbing all the power. Mu Xingqiu leaned over and looked down. The tree tower had returned to normal. The tender branches swayed gently, looking weak and powerless, but it was the only one that withstood the amber Taoist's absorbing power and grew upwards tenaciously, even supporting a large area of nearby demon towers.
"Why is this?" Mu Xingqiu regained his peace of mind, hiding his hatred, urgency and other emotions in his heart. This was not the time for them to show up. He had to figure out what was going on.
"Why can the demon species grow within the power range of the Amber Taoist? I don't know. I only discovered this phenomenon nearly a year ago. "
Qi Wushang walked slowly towards the throne, and the brown deer followed closely. Mu Xingqiu followed more than ten steps away. While listening to Qi Wushang's explanation, he pondered the situation at hand. It was not only the dilemma he faced, but also the Taoist priests of Yashan in the mountains to the east, the battlefield of Yaodu 200 miles away in the south, and Zuo Liuying and others who went to Furong Mountain to find the bald man. These things were interrelated, making all the difficulties doubled.
"The battle with the demon clan in Laozu Peak six years ago yielded a lot of gains." Qi Wushang said slowly. He said that he wanted to finish things quickly, but now he seems to have changed his mind. "Hundreds of inner pills, more than fifty complete corpses, ten living Taoist priests, and a large piece of amber. The inner pills were used on the Demon Fire Mountain, and there are not many left. Fortunately, they were not all used up. When Lan Binghu came to seek cooperation, I had something to show for myself. "
Qi Wushang took out a half green and half red apple from his wide sleeves, and Brown Deer ate it gracefully.
"We found Amber Taoist priest a year after we occupied Laozu Peak. At that time, I was terrified. The demon clan was completely defeated, and Yi Shijun was missing. Without his help, the magicians could not create magic weapons that could fight against the Taoists. The Fire Eye Demon Pill given to me by Yi Shijun kept me awake. I was worried about the attack of the Taoists every moment. I worked with the magicians to toss the corpses and Taoist priests, hoping to find a way to save myself, and even placed my hopes on those Yi Shijun servants, although I knew in my heart that they were just a group of insane liars. "
"Groups of monsters are still coming to seek refuge with me. There is an endless stream. They have no idea how scared I was at that time. They believe that I can create miracles again. Dao Tong has never come, and the monsters believe in me even more. I know Dao Tong You are waiting for a complete solution when all the demon elites gather around me, but I can't tell any demons about Daotong's tactics and my weakness, otherwise they will flee from me. The clan will return to a state of fragmentation, and all my efforts and all the suffering I have endured will become meaningless."
Qi Wushang gently stroked the brown deer's back, showing a hint of tenderness.
"At this moment, the ancient god gave me the Amber Taoist Priest. As soon as the twenty-one magicians discovered the Amber Taoist Priest, all of their demon power was absorbed and turned into a pile of useless flesh and blood. I finally attracted a lot of demons from the land of demons. A large amount of the clean energy was also sucked away. But I immediately understood that this was not a punishment, but a reward. I finally had something to rely on when facing the Taoism."
"This is a strange reward. The ancient god gave me a powerful weapon, but he refused to give me a way to control it. If this continues, the entire demon army will be absorbed by the Amber Taoist priest before the Taoist order comes. . I tried various methods day and night, sacrificing thousands of demon soldiers and more than thirty magicians, but the effect was not great. I just dug a big hole and hid the Amber Taoist deeply. My hard work paid off, the ten Taoist priests brought me a surprise.”
"The ten Taoist prisoners were tortured crazy in the first month, and two more were killed later. I regarded this as revenge against the Taoism. I never thought that they were so important. It was the most useless Taoist priest. He doesn’t even have an inner elixir. He was turned into a lunatic by Taoism long before the demon clan took action. He actually withstood countless demonic attacks. Of course, we didn’t want to kill him. It was always enough. But there were still two The Taoist priest died, but he did not die. He became more and more crazy and began to talk about the devil frequently. This was a reminder, but I didn't wake up for a long time. "
Mu Xingqiu had been listening quietly, and then interrupted: "You have recovered Shen Zhun's demonic thoughts."
Demonic thoughts are something unique to Taoist priests. Its relationship with demonic species is like bones and dogs, pollen and bees. It can attract demonic species even though they are thousands of miles away.
"Well, the demon clan doesn't understand the demonic thoughts, so I didn't understand its importance at first. It wasn't until more than a year ago that the demonic seeds came, bringing everything I expected day and night. The demonic thoughts attracted the demonic seeds, But I couldn't keep it. The crazy Taoist priests were all infected with the demonic thoughts after being exposed to the demonic seeds, but they soon became weak. If they all died, the demonic thoughts would disappear, so I transferred the demonic seeds to the demons. The demons are from the same family, so I thought this would be a good idea, but the first thing the demon species did when entering the demon clan was to kill him and absorb the demonic power, but he still couldn't get enough, and he couldn't even do anything about it. Communicate with me.”
"I had to make a choice, so I led the demon species to Amber Taoist Priest."
A smile appeared on Qi Wushang's aging face. It was his proud move and a stroke of genius. "I thought I would lose one of them, but it turned out that they complemented each other!"
"Taoist priests and demon species actually complement each other. They are more harmonious than the relationship between monsters and demon species. How ironic. The number of demon species attracted by the crazy Taoist priests gradually increased. I lured them all to the vicinity of the Amber Taoist Priest. There is no need to take care of them. It took root and sprouted on its own, and five trees grew, growing to a height of three feet in one year, forming the tree tower. Amber Taoist's power is not so overbearing anymore. I can even build a large number of demon towers on the ground, but each tower is different. They all have to be guarded by monsters.”
When Qi Wushang happily watched the demon species gradually grow, what was Dao Tong doing? Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but think that at that time, he was practicing in seclusion at Luanjing Mountain. The lower Taoist priests were busy forming a demon-slaying association, while the higher Taoist priests were more concerned about the whereabouts of the soul. No one was in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to inquire about the internal affairs of the demon clan. Condition.
Even if there are misunderstandings about Taoism's endurance, everyone firmly believes that victory ultimately belongs to Taoism, and the threat of demons is far away a hundred or millennia in the future.
"The Taoist tradition finally took action, and I once again felt that a disaster was imminent, but this time the ancient god did not test me for too long. A month ago, the magic tree bloomed, and three days later it bore fruit. One for each tree, a total of five fruits. , they can bring the power of the demons, but they will not kill the residents. In this way, I can communicate directly with the demons for the first time. They tell me many things. The most important thing is that they are not strong enough. A lot of blood energy. The blood energy of the demon race alone is not enough. You also need humans and Taoist priests. You know the rest. Yin Shengqian told you that he only saw the surface of the plan before, but did not know the existence of the demon species. This is a plan destined to fail. Now he understands it and is persuaded by the demon species to voluntarily lead the tribe to death. "
It was not persuasion and voluntariness, but control and coercion. Mu Xingqiu saw the shadow of mind-mind illusion in it, "Who gave all five magic fruits?"
"The magic fruit is still very picky. I gave one to eight crazy Taoist priests. They ate them and became invincible on the battlefield, creating a large number of human and Taoist corpses. One was given to the fourteen most powerful magicians under my command. Master, they will guide the demon tower to disperse the power of the sword-washing pool, giving Amber Taoist Priest the opportunity to absorb it calmly; one is given to myself to strengthen my Fire Eye Demon Pill, which is the reward I deserve; one is given to that The head named Mu Songxuan originally contained a small piece of demon seed and a few drops of water from the sword-washing pool. Through him, I can control the sword-washing pool and obtain another treasure. "
The four magic fruits all had a place to go. Qi Wushang stretched out his skinny hand and held the last one in his palm. It was a bright red round fruit, slightly smaller than an ordinary egg.
"This one is for you. You are the only designated host of the demon species."
