evening.
After working continuously for an afternoon, Wang Cheng finally buried all the bodies in place.
One hundred and thirteen corpses, each of which he dug, buried, and erected a monument with his own hands.
An ordinary person would naturally not be able to complete such a large amount of work in just one afternoon, but for an ancient warrior with perfect energy and blood, digging a hole and burying it was just a matter of a few punches.
Of course, not all of these corpses are there. Some corpses were torn into pieces by monsters, with severed limbs that cannot be put together into a complete body. Some only have one leg left, and most of the body has been swallowed, making it impossible to see. Who is it?
Wang Cheng could only erect a wordless monument for these mutilated corpses. As for the others he didn't know, he tried to write some identity information he knew on the monument, and those he knew directly erected a monument.
In front of him, there were twelve corpses lying, and these twelve people were all his men.
Zhang Rui, Li Fei, Zhu Ming... he could name each one, and he knew each person's identity information clearly. They each represented twelve families.
He couldn't take back the other hundred or so people because there were too many, but he had to take back these twelve people.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of wood here. There was a lot of wood left after the camp was breached. He made a large and simple coffin and put all twelve corpses in it.
"Ouch..."
Just when he was almost finished, there was an angry roar from the sky, and a five-tailed white fox more than ten meters long appeared in the air.
This is exactly the identity of Vujicic!
It turns out that not all the monsters in Baishou Mountain have been evacuated, and Hu Zhe has been around to protect Wang Cheng's safety.
"You evil beast! I kindly advise you to leave, but you don't know what to do. Then stay here forever!"
The huge five-tailed white fox pounced from mid-air to the ground, like a strong wind sweeping past, causing a bloody storm.
Soon, the five-tailed white fox transformed into a human form again. The white clothes were whiter than snow and not stained by dust.
He flashed and appeared in front of Wang Cheng. He looked at the super large coffin that was five to six meters high and said, "Brother Xian, do you plan to take this back?"
Next, they have to pass through the long bottomless sinkhole and can only walk along the plank road. If they carry this coffin, their speed will definitely be affected.
"Brother, we humans are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots and souls to their homeland. These are my brothers. I cannot let their souls rest in peace." Wang Cheng said firmly.
Hu Zhe patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay! I, Lao Hu, did not misjudge the person! They are also heroes, Lao Hu, I will protect their souls for once!"
The two then continued on their way.
May is already midsummer, and the night comes relatively late, and it doesn’t get dark until seven or eight o’clock.
Wang Cheng held the coffin on his shoulder with one hand and walked hard on the broken plank road.
Many places on the plank road have suffered damage, and there are faults in many places, some of which are broken for tens of meters. The battle a few days ago has continued here.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng was escorted by Hu Zhe, otherwise he would not have been able to walk far carrying this coffin.
On the plank road, we encountered some more corpses intermittently, but they all had no time to collect them. One can imagine how tragic the battle two days ago was.
"Why don't you know how to use Emperor Wu's forbidden weapon?"
Along the way, he didn't encounter any traces left by the use of Emperor Wu's forbidden weapons. Qinglong and his party were completely piled on them with their lives.
But this place is a bottomless sinkhole and is no longer within the scope of the Hundred Beast Mountain. Why are there still monsters chasing after it?
You know, monsters attach great importance to their territory and will never allow other monsters to come in, unless that monster is far more powerful than it.
Suddenly, Hu Zhe stopped and looked at a dark cliff, which was obviously left by fire.
He suddenly realized: "So that's it! It's the fire lizard from the Flame Mountain that came out of the mountain, and it's not dead!"
"Fire Lizard?" Wang Cheng also stopped.
Hu Zhe said with a heavy expression: "There are three most powerful demons in the Hundred Beasts Mountain, the spotted tiger, the clouded leopard, and the golden-eyed eagle. These three demons are only one step away from the realm of the demon king."
"But they are all great monsters that have only appeared in the past hundred years, and they are not yet the overlords of the Hundred Beast Mountain. The real overlord of the Hundred Beast Mountain should be more than two hundred years ago."
"Is that the fire lizard?" Wang Cheng took over.
Hu Zhe nodded and said: "Yes! As early as more than two hundred years ago, it was only one step away from the realm of the demon king. But for some unknown reason, it has not taken that step, and we all thought it was dead. "
He stared at the dark cliff and said: "Now it seems that it is not dead, and it has broken through to the realm of the demon king. Otherwise, it would have died of old age in the years it has lived. It has been hidden for so many years, and it suddenly appears. It seems It’s about to break through again!”
"Brother, what you mean is that it came out of the mountain this time just to get the dragon's blood and make a breakthrough?" Wang Cheng said.
"good!"
Hu Zhe nodded and continued: "That fire lizard already has a trace of dragon blood. If it can get dragon blood, it will definitely be able to go one step further!"
His expression was solemn. If the fire lizard went one step further, wouldn't it have reached the middle stage of the Demon King?
You know, he has only just broken through to the middle stage of the Demon King, and he still relied on the Nirvana Pill given by Wang Cheng. The Salamander had caught up with him in just two hundred years, and his qualifications shocked him.
Wang Cheng, who was behind, was thoughtful and said in a solemn tone: "So, the monster riot in Baishou Mountain was probably started by the fire lizard?"
"It must be so!"
Hu Zhe said: "I was still curious before. Although the colorful tiger, clouded leopard, and golden-eyed eagle are not bad in strength, they are not qualified to command the group of demons. Now it seems that it is the fire lizard who is secretly launching a riot!"
"Salamander!"
Wang Cheng secretly kept it in his heart. Now he doesn't have the strength to avenge his dead brothers, but this blood debt will definitely be settled in the future!
The two walked along the plank road for a while, and the traces left by the battle ahead became more and more tragic.
The plank roads in many places were burned to the ground, and no connections could be seen for hundreds of meters.
With the help of Hu Zhe, Wang Cheng arrived at a place in front where only a two- or three-meter-long plank road was preserved. Further forward, there was clouds and fog that could not be seen at the end.
He was just about to let Hu Zhe take him to fly over, when he suddenly looked up and looked above his head.
This is a cliff halfway up the mountain. It was originally a protruding piece. After being artificially dug out, it turned into something similar to a roof that can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Bai Zhe then turned back to look at Wang Cheng, who was also looking at him, and the two of them nodded as if they were in sync.
Then, Bai Zhe disappeared out of thin air on the plank road, and when he reappeared, he was dozens of meters above Wang Cheng's head.
Originally, it was blocked by the cliff and could not see what was above, but now everything is in full view.
The cliff is not as steep as imagined, but looks like a large platform carved out by someone with an axe.
Lying on the stage was a giant beast that was more than ten meters long. It was covered with red scales. It had short limbs and a long tail. It was covered with bone spurs, like steel needles inserted into it. It was sharp and tough.
However, this long and tough tail was actually broken at this moment, and the middle was a blur of flesh and blood, as if it had been flattened by a huge boulder.
Blood gurgled from the wound, and it stretched out its long tongue to lick it. In the past, no matter how serious the injury was, it could stop the bleeding with just a few licks, but now it couldn't stop it.
The blood that flowed out almost gathered into a small pool, exuding a strong smell of blood.
The appearance of Vujicic quickly attracted its attention. It looked back and the next moment it said humanly: "It's you!"
"It's me! Long time no see!" Hu Zhe said.
It sighed: "Yes! Long time no see! The last time we met was two or three hundred years ago, so long ago that I almost forgot."
"You have hidden yourself deeply and have not appeared in the world for more than two hundred years. Everyone thought you were dead. Who would have thought that you have cultivated to such a state!" Hu Zhe said.
It sighed again: "What a pity! I am going to die today."
Hu Zhe stared at its wound and said: "That's right! The forbidden weapon left by the strong Emperor Wu is enough to kill us and other existences. I don't know how you escaped, but the killing intent released by the forbidden weapon of Emperor Wu is enough for our cultivation. It’s hard to eliminate.”
"If you can live, who wants to die? I still want to give it a try." It doesn't want to give up.
However, at this moment, a roar came from below, "Kill!"
A palm-sized token-shaped jade pendant appeared in the air, and with a "boom", a bolt of lightning was released from the token, which instantly struck the giant beast.
"Bah!"
The bright red blood vaporized on the spot, and at the same time, there was a smell of roasted meat.
However, everything did not end there. After the token released the first thunder and lightning, it was followed by the second, third, and fourth...
Until the giant beast completely stopped moving, Wang Cheng jumped up from below and took back the command talisman.
Hu Zhe showed an indescribable meaning on his face, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Even if you didn't take action, it wouldn't be able to live for a few more days. The murderous intention left in its body by Emperor Wu's Forbidden Weapon would gradually wipe out its vitality. .”
"That's different!"
Wang Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "Because of it, so many of my brothers died, and twelve of my brothers died. As long as I encounter it, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill it."
This giant beast is none other than a fire lizard!
Hu Zhe sighed secretly, with inexplicable emotions in his heart. He was a little sad that the rabbit died, but also a little regretful.
The majestic demon king of the generation had lived for nearly a thousand years, but the overlord of the Hundred Beasts Mountain died like this?
At the same time, he had a new view on Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng really valued friendship too much, and sometimes even lost his mind because of it, which would easily lead to being burdened by friendship in the future.
But then again, if Wang Cheng is a ruthless and unjust person, how can he fall into his eyes?
Looking at the completely lifeless Salamander, he could only say: "This is your life!"
Wang Cheng then looked around the huge body of the salamander for a while and said, "Brother, what do you think about using the scales of this salamander to make armor?"
"Of course it's excellent! It's definitely comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon. And don't forget, the inner elixir and flesh and blood in it are both precious treasures..."
