"Where is the little demon from the detective team?!"
Tian Huan held up his halberd and shouted orders, and soon he saw a large pangolin with a yellow scarf tied around its neck squeeze out from the demon crowd and lay down in front of Tian Huan.
"Greetings...Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief! Little Demon...Little Demon Jia Sanshan, please listen to the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
The high-pitched voice was a bit panicked. This pangolin, which was slightly larger than a farm dog, was one of the few monsters in the detective team that could speak. Speaking of which, could the monsters tell that human speech was not completely harmonious? Strength link.
For example, the demon tiger that Tian Huan met earlier was very powerful, but it had not refined its crossbones and could not speak human language. A Bao also had to be guided by Hu Changsheng before he successfully learned to speak human language.
And some small monsters, either with extraordinary talents or living in areas where humans gather, slowly learned the human language.
"Tell us the truth and falsehood of the Taoist temple in the foggy forest in detail." Tian Huan's expression slowed down slightly and he said in a gentle tone.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the little demon leader has been ordered by Chang Shi to go to the forest in the fog to explore. Although the fog in the forest blocks the birds from overlooking and entering, the mist cannot prevent the little demon from sneaking into the ground." Jia Sanshan takes Jia as his surname and claims to be able to drill through three mountains in one go, so he named himself San Shan. Seeing Tian Huan's gentle attitude, Jia Sanshan's tension was relieved a lot.
"When the little demon entered the foggy forest, he found that there was a Taoist temple inside. There were nearly a hundred Taoist priests and servants inside. However, many of the temples were shielded by magical formations. The little demon could not enter and could only eavesdrop on some minor Taoist priests. conversation chat.”
"To pick up the key points, for example, how strong are the Taoists in the Taoist temple? Are there any foundation-building monks who have survived the catastrophe, etc.?" Tian Huan frowned and urged, Jia Sanshan fell to the ground again in fright. .
"...Yes...Yes, Commander-in-Chief, there are no foundation-building monks in that Taoist temple who have survived the catastrophe. The strongest Taoist temple master is only an old Taoist at the seventh level of Qi refining. It is said that he is nearly a hundred years old. It is estimated that there is no possibility of overcoming the tribulation."
Jia Sanshan lowered his head and recalled for a while, and then said: "The temple master has three direct disciples, and there are five stewards under him. Their strength is between the fourth and fifth levels of Qi refining. In addition, there are ten Taoist soldiers, whose strength is Between the third level and the fifth level of body refining, there are forty or fifty Taoists and Taoists left. They are either refining Qi or refining the body, but their cultivation level does not exceed the third level. As for the remaining twenty or so people, they are all miscellaneous. A servant, not a cultivator."
Tian Huan's face turned slightly solemn when he heard this. With his current strength, he would not be afraid even if he faced the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. As for the seventh-level Qi Refining Temple Master, he didn't care much about it, but the number of people in this hidden Taoist temple was still a bit surprising to Tian Huan. unexpected.
Among his subordinates, only Ah Bao's strength is equivalent to that of a seventh or eighth level Qi/body refining monk. Especially those he has with him at this moment are Lu Dajiao and Hou Wujiu, whose strength is comparable to that of a third or fourth level human being. There are demon soldiers with demon power of ten or twenty years, and little demons with less than ten years of demon power. There are only twenty or thirty demons in total, so they are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity and quality.
What's more, Tian Huan's side is still the offensive side, and the defensive side may have the support of the magic circle. Tian Huan's only advantage is him and Abao, these two high-end combat powers... No, there should be another advantage, in the Taoist temple Taoists may not know that a monster is coming.
"You have to use a strategy." Tian Huan scratched his hair. As a monster, he obviously used his brain too many times.
Just as Tian Huan was staring at the foggy forest in the distance and turning his head rapidly, suddenly there was the sound of flapping wings in the sky. He looked up and saw a night owl with a yellow scarf wrapped around its neck falling down.
"Gugu~Gugugu~~"
Although the brown-feathered night owl gestured very hard, Tian Huan still couldn't understand what it meant. He glanced sideways at Abao, who was also confused, and then looked at Jiasan Mountain.
"This... Commander-in-Chief, it may mean that someone is coming this way." Jia Sanshan said in confusion.
"Is someone coming?"
Tian Huan chuckled lightly when he heard this, turned to Ah Bao and said, "A Bao, follow Ye Xiao to have a look. If he is from the Taoist temple, catch him."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Ah Bao accepted the order with his fists clasped, and then followed the flying Night Owl and left here.
"Wujiu, let the monsters find a secluded place to rest for a while. Don't make any noise and wait for orders." Tian Huan then ordered Hou Wujiu.
"I obey, Commander-in-Chief."
Hou Wujiu is holding a lower-level talisman spear in his hand, a lower-level talisman knife hanging on his waist, and a gourd to hold wine. The name Hou Wujiu comes from the fact that he will not be happy without wine, but it does not mean that he will know how to drink without drinking. Brew fruit wine, if there are spiritual fruits, you can even brew spiritual wine.
Before setting off, there were originally four demon soldiers under Hou Wujiu's command, but two more demon soldiers were picked up on the way and the number became six. In addition to Lu Dajiao's two equally stupid flag-carrying soldiers, the total number was six. There are eight demon soldiers, plus two small flag officers, Hou Wujiu and Lu Dajiao.
The total number of officers and soldiers is...ten.
It seems...a little less? Tian Huan couldn't help baring his teeth.
........
Green smoke curled up slowly from the alchemy room. In the small courtyard outside the alchemy room, the stone lampposts burned smokeless lamp oil, emitting light.
The eyes of several Taoist boys who were cleaning the alchemy room drifted over unconsciously, as if they could smell the aura of the elixir between their noses.
"Sweep carefully, don't be in a daze!" A young man with a stern expression walked through the corridor, looked at the Taoist boys' fishing state, and couldn't help but frown and scolded.
"Yes, Master Qingxuan." Several Taoist boys quickly bowed and responded.
And the young man didn't look at the Taoist for a second, opened the curtain of the alchemy room, walked directly through the inner room of the alchemy room, clicked the sandalwood door a few times, and then heard an old voice coming from inside: "Is it Qingxuan? Come in."
The young man then gently opened the door, walked around the screen and prostrated himself: "Disciple, pay homage to the master."
"Get up, you have gained a lot from this trip." I saw an old Taoist with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room. He raised his eyes and looked at the young man and said warmly.
"Thanks to Master's great blessing, my disciple's cultivation has improved a little, and he should be about to break through to the fifth level." The young man did not get up, but knelt on the straw mat and replied.
"Well, your two senior brothers are not as talented as you. Even as a teacher, I am not as good as you. From now on, we have to rely on you to carry forward Dan Yuan Guan." The old Taoist sighed softly, under his drooped eyelids, his eyes were Full of melancholy.
"Master is overly praised. My disciple's talent is dull and far inferior to that of Master. When Master succeeds in refining alchemy, he will use the elixir to build the foundation. Our Danyuan Temple will surely be revitalized." The young man lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Oh, don't flatter me as a teacher. I know my own family and build a foundation. I have no hope in this life. I can only hope for you, the younger generation." The old Taoist opened his mouth and laughed a few times, then spread his hands and removed his sleeves. A bottle of pill flew out and landed in front of the young man.
"You can take this bottle of Yangyuan Pill back and take it, then go down."
"Thank you Master for the reward, my disciple is resigning."
After the young man quietly exited the alchemy room, a mocking smile suddenly appeared on the old Taoist's originally calm face.
The young man who slowly exited the alchemy room breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster. He glanced sideways at the alchemy room, then grabbed the bottle of elixir and left in a hurry.
