In the stone room, Ma Liu gathered his thoughts and looked at the snake demon in front of him.
The red and black scales made it even more ferocious, and there were huge palm prints on the snake's body. The scales exploded and a seven-inch hole was stabbed with blood. It must have been a sword blow after a fight.
This snake demon is only in the early stage of entering the Dao realm, and the demon compilation team members must be at least the second Dao realm. There is no need to fight to kill a snake demon?
The impact of this palm print is also very interesting.
Ma Liu put on his gloves and checked the body. It looked like the snake demon's internal organs were shattered by the force of his palm, but in fact, the snake's gallbladder was not damaged. It seemed that the skin-picking department had deliberately allowed the skin-picking department to commit infringement.
Under normal circumstances, before the corpse is delivered, a scribe will register it and describe the general condition of the snake demon.
So that after slaughtering, they can be sent to the Alchemy Department, Weapon Making Department, etc. for comparison of the demon parts.
The procedures are very strict to prevent anyone from being greedy for ink.
But the scribe will not describe in detail all the organs on the snake demon's body.
That would be an astronomical amount of work.
Summarize it in at most a hundred words, record how many pieces the snake demon exploded, how many inches it was injured, how many flesh and blood can no longer be used, etc.
This gives the skin-picking company an opportunity to harm the public and enrich the private sector.
After Ma Liu thought for a moment, he realized that Lei Peng's banquet with his colleagues from the Demon Collection Team had played a role.
This group of people worked together to kill demons and hit their valuable parts. It looked like they were shattered, but in fact they left the organs for Lei Peng to take away quietly and divide the benefits privately.
The world is difficult, and corrupt officials are to blame.
But now, as a pickpocket at the lowest level, Ma Liu, who actually dismembered monster corpses, has also become a member of a gang of corrupt officials, specializing in drinking the blood of the imperial court.
"Teaching Zhang Aotian to be an upright official is an ideal, and to be with Lei Peng is to survive. People are so entangled."
Ma Liu is not a noble person, nor does he have the ideal of saving the world. He just wants to live well and live a moist life, which is more important than anything else.
Pushing the cart, he unloaded the snake demon under the stainless steel chain and lit three sticks of incense as usual.
Not long after, the evil wind blew.
Went out.
Click again, and it goes out again.
It's rare. If you were to pick up a new pickpocket on the 12th, you might panic.
However, Ma Liu just performed the Great Sun Tathagata Technique, and golden light circulated around his body, as if a god or Buddha had come to the world. He then lit incense and it burned immediately.
Not only living people bully others, but also dead ghosts.
With the golden light suppressing it, it would be difficult for the snake demon to turn into a corpse.
Two fine steel chains were used to hang up the snake demon head and tail respectively. Ma Liu was holding a butcher's knife and was about to cut open the snake demon's abdomen when a strange wind blew in the stone room and the remaining candles went out.
The fragrance disappeared in a flash.
In the dark environment where he couldn't see his fingers, the snake demon suddenly opened his vertical pupils, spit out the snake core and said:
"Try chopping me up!"
"..."
Ma Liu was stunned, took a few steps back, and distanced himself. This situation was even rarer than continuously extinguishing incense.
The corpse spoke, but it didn't transform, which made him frown.
However, the memories of thousands of demons gave him extraordinary insights.
Snakes are the demons that are most prone to comeback.
Even if an ordinary snake has its head cut off, it will struggle for a long time before dying. If it is fried in a pan, it will beat violently.
To put it bluntly, the brain is dead, but the body is not dead yet. It takes a while for the body to die.
The head of this snake demon was not chopped off, so it is likely that the memory in its head is still there, so it is not too mysterious to speak.
After thinking about it, Ma Liu put down the butcher's knife, turned the steering wheel on the wall, and tightened the stainless steel chain until the snake demon's body was stretched straight, and he pulled it into chopsticks.
Would you like to chop it into pieces?
Then try it!
He rubbed his palms together, and firelight splashed out, igniting the remaining lamp.
By the light, he was about to pick up the butcher's knife when the corpse suddenly started struggling wildly, causing the chains to rattle.
"You try to chop me up! Try it!!"
Tear it apart——
The golden sword energy was vented, and it slashed across the snake demon's abdomen, splitting the skin and flesh.
All of a sudden, the snake demon stopped moving.
It seems that he didn't expect Ma Liu to dare to come for real.
"I can't cure you, little one."
Lao Liu stepped forward, a stream of heat rushed out of his heart, and he sucked hard on the body of the snake demon.
The surge of energy, blood and memories allowed him to watch the snake demon's life in a flash.
…
After leaving the capital, walk along the official road for a hundred miles, and you will see Bailong Mountain on the right.
Ever since the snake demon was born with spiritual wisdom and transformed into a human being, it has been practicing hard in the mountains and has never had much contact with humans.
Until this day.
Some refugees fled to the mountains, broke into the territory of the snake demon, and delivered meat to their doorsteps, allowing the snake demon to taste the unparalleled delicacy.
At the same time, he also learned that there were a large number of recently deceased humans in the mass graves outside the capital, and they could eat them while they were hot.
The snake demon was moved and came out of the mountain overnight.
It doesn't know much about the human world, but it still saves face. How can any demon who is successful in spiritual practice walk on his own?
Not to mention being cheered in front of you and surrounded by stars, you must at least have a car when you go out to look decent.
There is a post station next to the official road outside Bailong Mountain, and there happens to be a canopy-covered carriage parked there. It is very expensive, made of sandalwood, and has a white horse drawn carriage. It looks very impressive.
The groom was pulled out of the inn, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the beautiful woman sitting cross-legged in the carriage. She was draped in gauze and had a devilish figure.
The snake demon commanded expressionlessly:
"Go to the mass graves outside the capital."
This groom is not stupid either.
The women who come out late at night are either temptresses with a vicious heart, or female thieves who are ruthless in killing people. How dare they have any extra thoughts, they just want to send the person over as soon as possible and get away with it.
The carriage moved forward, the official road was deserted, and soon they arrived outside the capital.
"Then, that... there is a mass grave next to it."
The groom pointed to the protruding hill in the distance. The night wind blew with a strong smell of blood, and one could tell how many corpses were lying on the hill.
The snake demon sucked in the air excitedly and jumped out of the carriage.
Along the way, the groom did not look at anyone who was disrespectful and did not dare to look at the snake monster for fear of losing his life.
Seeing that there was no sound behind him, and he didn't see the pretty woman walking towards the mass grave, he couldn't help but look back.
There was no one in the car.
Where has this person gone?
The groom shuddered.
"Is this woman a demon who can move instantly?"
The groom collapsed a little, slapped his butt hard, turned the car around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, a slender hand covered in mud patted his shoulder.
The groom turned around, and his sight was covered with a bloody mouth. A fishy smell hit his face, and the snake head roared angrily:
"If you dare to park your car next to the ditch when you come back, I will chop you into pieces!"
The roar of the giant python spread throughout the countryside, and a figure appeared on the mass grave in the blink of an eye, wearing a flying fish suit and holding a demon-slaying sword.
"What a monster, why don't you try to chop me up?"
The snake demon was shocked.
How did it know that there were strong men from the Demon Collection Team guarding the mass grave?
After fighting for more than ten rounds in the blink of an eye, the strong men of the demon collection team had enough tricks and stabbed the snake demon seven inches through with one sword, causing it to reveal its original shape.
The snake demon died unjustly. Before he lost consciousness, the words "You try to chop me up" kept echoing in his mind.
Like a curse.
