Chapter 19

Danger Approaches

The center of the flower stamen trembled slightly, as if it were alive, and emitted a faint, sweet-smelling aroma.

The snake scale flower has a thick stem covered with fine, scale-like patterns, making it look particularly eerie and mysterious.

"This is a snake scale flower." Chen Changqing was excited. He had seen this thing before when he was a servant in the Immortal Spirit Cave.

However, this thing is rich in spiritual energy.

It also emits a faint, eerie light, making it impossible to hide.

Chen Changqing thought for a moment and then said loudly, "Captain, I've found the snake scale flower."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the hunting team were all slightly taken aback.

They all doubted that they had misheard.

Chen Changqing shouted again, "Captain, I've found the snake scale flower!"

Zhao Erhu was excited and rushed over immediately.

Upon seeing the small flower emitting a faint blue light, he was overjoyed and laughed heartily: "Haha, not bad, not bad, it is indeed the Snake Scale Flower, the Snake Scale Flower worth 100,000 copper coins."

Sell ​​this snake scale flower, and the Xuan Yin Grass we acquired today.

That's enough to buy Blood Spirit Pills.

Zhao Erhu was extremely excited.

At this moment, the members of the hunting teams on both sides also walked over.

Seeing that it was indeed a snake scale flower, everyone looked at Chen Changqing with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Chen Changqing received half of the total value of the snake scale flower, which amounted to more than 50,000 copper coins.

More than 50,000 copper coins.

My God.

They only made a little over 10,000 copper coins last year.

Zhao Erbao, in particular, was completely devastated.

Intense jealousy drove him mad.

I was so frustrated that I felt like I was about to vomit blood.

If he walks a little further this way, the snake scale flower will be his.

ah ah ah...

"This useless person." Chen Changming's eyes turned bloodshot with jealousy.

That bastard is too lucky.

The Yin brothers, along with Zhao Erxiong, were extremely envious and jealous.

Zhao Erhu carefully picked the snake scale flower and looked at Chen Changqing: "Brother Changqing, I'll sell this snake scale flower later."

"Putting aside the debt you owe me, lend me the money from the sale for now. Once I buy the Blood Spirit Pill and advance to the third level of Qi Refining, I'll repay you at 30% interest."

Zhao Erhu spoke politely, but his eyes were very intimidating.

"Okay." Chen Changqing nodded. If he didn't lend it to them, he wouldn't be able to leave this Ghost Cry Forest today.

He had already thought of this when he was named Zhao Erhu.

However, this time when he entered the Ghost Cry Forest, he obtained forty-three Xuan Yin Grasses. Combined with the others in the hunting team, he could get more than ten thousand copper coins.

They got the snake scale flower and more than 50,000 copper coins.

It's already worth over 60,000 copper coins.

Including the spoils from the first hunt, the total came to over 70,000.

After paying off Zhao Erhu's debt, Zhao Erhu still owed him more than 50,000 yuan.

We are currently outmatched and can only lend the money to Zhao Erhu for the time being.

But once he becomes powerful, Zhao Erhu will have to pay him back with interest.

"Let's go, we'll leave the mountain now." Zhao Erhu waved his hand.

Now that he had enough money, there was no need to take any more risks. He couldn't wait to go to Dayang County to buy the Blood Spirit Pill.

"Awooo..."

Just then, the little black tiger suddenly let out a low growl, its body slightly arched, and its eyes looked ahead warily.

"Something's up," Chen Changqing said, quickly taking the bow and arrows off his back and looking ahead.

Zhao Erhu immediately became alert, gripping his machete tightly and staring intently in the direction Chen Changqing was pointing.

Zhao Erhu whistled to Mingque, signaling her to go and investigate.

With a flap of its wings, the Dark Sparrow instantly transformed into a black shadow and shot into the thick fog.

The other team members were already aware of Little Black Tiger's formidable senses, and at this moment, they gripped their weapons tightly, watching the front with vigilance.

However, none of them seemed too nervous.

These days, the little black tiger's warnings have never been wrong.

But it's either a tree marten, a fox marten, a grey lark, or a tree rat.

It's basically just delivering meat to them.

A slight noise suddenly came from within the thick fog.

Immediately afterwards, a small tree weasel emerged from the mist, looking around in a panic before quickly darting into the bushes on the other side.

Everyone laughed when they saw this.

Sure enough.

Yin Jianhui drew his bow and shot an arrow, killing the tree weasel instantly.

However, before they could fully relax, three more tree martens darted out of the mist.

The three tree martens looked terrified, as if something horrible was chasing them.

Everyone's hearts tightened again, their eyes fixed on the depths of the fog.

"Awoo." The little black tiger's fur stood on end, and a low whimper came from its throat, clearly sensing great danger.

Chen Changqing's expression was solemn. He immediately took out the talisman from his pocket, held it in his hand, and then drew his bow and aimed at the front.

"Awooo..." Even the three wolfhounds, whose senses were generally quite ordinary, bristled and bared their teeth at the thick fog.

The weasel and sable also let out sharp cries, staring intently ahead.

"Hey..."

Zhao Erhu's Dark Sparrow also let out a sharp, piercing cry.

Everyone tensed up, took out their talismans, gripped their weapons, and were ready at any moment.

"Whoosh..."

A withered yellow shadow suddenly burst out of the mist and shot towards the group.

The yellow shadow exuded a fierce demonic aura, typical of a fourth-level Lesser Demon.

Zhao Erhu shouted a warning: "That's a withered tree demon monkey with the cultivation level of the fourth level of a lesser demon. Everyone, quickly use the Fire Crow Talisman, and Chen Changqing, use the Yin Thunder Talisman."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Previously, the withered tree demon monkey, who was at the third level of cultivation, almost killed Yin Jianhui.

The fourth level of the Lesser Demon Realm sounds like it's only one level higher than the third level of the Lesser Demon Realm.

But that's the difference between a beginner-level and an intermediate-level demon.

The withered tree demon monkey with the fourth level of cultivation is several times more powerful than the withered tree demon monkey with the third level.

Upon hearing this, everyone took out their Fire Crow Talismans and activated them. The talismans burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into enormous red fire crows.

Six enormous fire crows, each with a wingspan of three meters, carrying blazing flames, transformed into streaks of red light and fiercely met the oncoming withered yellow shadow.

"Boom boom boom..."

The fire crows exploded violently, unleashing a raging inferno.

Everyone stared intently at the crimson flames.

"Roar..." With a deafening roar of anger, a yellow shadow, exuding a strong demonic aura, burst out of the flames, its face full of rage, and shot towards the crowd.

He went deep into the mountains to pick some spiritual fruits, but when he returned home, he found that all of his monkey offspring had died.

The withered tree demon monkey was filled with rage and wanted to kill to vent his anger.

Everyone was shocked. A single Fire Crow Talisman had previously severely injured the withered tree demon monkey, who was at the third level of the Lesser Demon Realm.

But now, even with six Fire Crow Talismans, they hadn't harmed the withered tree demon monkey in the slightest; they had only slightly slowed it down.

This is the terrifying aspect of a fourth-level lesser demon: the demonic energy on its body can condense into demonic energy armor, making it impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears.

At this moment, Chen Changqing finally activated the Yin Thunder Talisman.

The Yin Thunder Talisman trembled slightly in Chen Changqing's hand, the runes on the talisman paper flickering with a dark light, and arcs of electricity flashing and moving between the lights.

"Go!" With a low shout from Chen Changqing, the Yin Thunder Talisman instantly transformed into a jet-black bolt of lightning, accompanied by a piercing thunderous roar, and rushed straight towards the withered tree demon monkey.

The withered tree demon monkey was rushing towards the group at an extremely fast speed, its eyes filled with violence and killing intent.

However, when the lightning of the Yin Thunder Talisman approached, its movements suddenly froze, as if it had sensed a great threat.

He tried to dodge, but the Yin Lightning was extremely fast and arrived in an instant.

"boom!"

The Yin Thunder Talisman struck the withered tree demon monkey hard, instantly unleashing a blinding black light.

The demonic armor covering the withered tree monkey's entire body rapidly collapsed under the erosion of the Yin Lightning, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

The remaining lightning power entered the body of the withered tree monkey, and arcs of electricity coursed across its surface, causing the monkey's body to tremble violently.

"Roar..." The withered tree demon monkey roared angrily, its dark demonic power surging, and the electric arcs on its body quickly dissipated.

At this moment, Zhao Erhu had already reactivated the Fire Crow Talisman.

The enormous fire crow, with a wingspan of three meters, transformed into a streak of red light as it slammed into the withered tree demon monkey.

Zhao Erhu shouted, "Quickly, keep attacking! Attack with all your might! Quickly!"

Chen Changming and the others had already begun activating the Fire Crow Talisman when Chen Changqing's Yin Lightning struck the withered tree demon monkey.

However, they were a little slow in activating the Fire Duck Talisman.

Before Zhao Erhu could finish speaking, five fire crows had already struck the withered tree demon monkey heavily.

"Roar..." The withered tree monkey's body was engulfed by flames. He rolled on the ground and let out a painful and angry roar.

The sound was so loud that it made people's eardrums ache.

Zhao Erhu and the others quickly picked up their bows and arrows, drew their bows, and shot at the withered tree demon monkey.

beep, beep...

Arrows shot at the withered tree demon monkey, but were all deflected and fell into the flames.

"roar……"

The withered tree demon monkey roared angrily, and its dark demonic energy surged out again, extinguishing the flames on its body.

The withered tree monkey stood up. It was two meters tall, with long limbs and a body covered in small, steel-like muscles.

At this moment, his entire body was burned, his face was covered in blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely angry.

"Roar..." The withered tree demon monkey opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

A terrifying, thunderous sound swept up the leaves on the ground, creating a horrific storm.

The withered tree demon monkey stomped on the ground, creating several cracks. Its body shot towards the crowd like a cannonball, carrying an extremely terrifying and sharp force.

Damn.

These humans all deserve to die.
