Chapter 10, Leaving the City
Aunt Dian has a total of 5 daughters and 3 husbands, and this time she actually sent all 5 daughters out.
The Dianjia sisters have all been selected
Four large spiders ran out from the pastry shop, following Dian Si'er. Each spider had a prominent red stamp on its abdomen
Lu Tong gazed at the distant cloud chariot, feeling somewhat hesitant. If someone were to choose him, should he accept the position of a half-demon guard
However, it has now become foggy, and the prices of the magical artifacts are rising every hour.
The Yang family of the Jade Vegetable Merchants Association, the Lian family of the Shenyun Tea House, the Baili family of the Baili Fishing Gang
However, now, an unknown force effortlessly took away [the object] using just a single lasso
Lu Tong asked several demon beasts but received no answers. At that moment, another lasso flew in and ensnared the tusks of a nearby giant elephant
Four children
Lu Tong does not possess much knowledge of cultivation, and it seems that the current state of Dian Si Er is somewhat akin to being bewitched.
In his view, once the four sisters of Dian Si'er ascend Qianxue Mountain, there is a high probability that they will all perish completely
Two large ones, approximately the size of red dates, are nestled side by side in the center of the brow, dark and glossy
There is usually a slight silver glimmer in the eyes, and the glimmer appears on the side corresponding to the direction of gaze; however, the glimmer has now disappeared
I did not expect that in the face of danger, they would simply abandon them
Ah, let's go
The spiritual realm resides deep within the center of the brow, but striking directly at the brow may harm the spirit.
As he was pondering, the turtle demon continued to say the remaining half of the sentence: "There are still some prominent families selecting demon servants"
After walking for an unknown duration, Lu Tong felt parched, and ahead appeared a low mountain, atop which were some exquisitely decorated cloud palanquins.
Dian Si Er turned around, and a layer of mist covered her six black pearl-like eyes
Lu Tong waited for a few moments, and just as he was about to leave, he heard the turtle demon leisurely say: "A disciple of the One Page Sect is selecting demon guards"
Da Han picked up the half bun and stuffed it into his mouth, grunting: "Oh."
As noon approached, while Lu Tong was eating, he felt the stamp on his palm begin to heat up.
After pausing for a few moments, they walked towards the back of the mountain
The miraculous effect of the two iron arms far exceeded his expectations
Brother Turtle, which prominent family is this?
In the end, Lu Tong understood that almost all the major forces in Yunying City were involved
As I passed by the Dian family's pastry shop, Dian Si'er emitted a "sizzling" sound from inside the house
The incessantly chattering silver-tailed mice scurry about in the crevices of hooves, claws, and feet, yet despite this, several are still crushed to death
There are also various shapes of half-demons, such as people with tails, eagle-like birds with two arms but no wings, and mules that walk on four human legs
The south gate is shrouded in darkness.
I have left
If anything unexpected happens, go to the blacksmith shop to find Old Liu
The silver light in the eyes has returned
Lu Tong was very curious and asked a large black turtle, "Brother Turtle, what is going on?"
If this turtle demon does not answer, then I will ask the nearby horse demon until I get a clear answer
The Cave of Ten Thousand Desires, reputed to fulfill all desires
Being chosen by a disciple of the One Page Sect not only means avoiding the dangers of the Thousand Caves Mountain but also provides an opportunity to ascend to great heights and find a powerful backing, with the chance to cultivate the magical arts and supernatural abilities of the One Page Sect in the future
Family? The prominent family in Yunying City?
After squeezing through for nearly half an hour, I finally exited the city gate
In the past, the eldest daughter of the Dian family was greatly favored. Mrs. Dian mentioned countless times to the neighbors that once her eldest daughter awakened her intelligence, she would immediately open another pastry shop and arrange for her eldest to marry two husbands.
Although all those selected are demon beasts, he is an exception; discerning individuals should be able to recognize his extraordinary nature
The most vicious curse directed at a half-demon is to say that it was born from the Abyss of Desires
A monk at the entrance shouted: "Keep walking straight ahead, with a rest point every thirty miles! No one is allowed to leave without permission!"
Dian Si'er stood up with her large belly, extending her right hand to reveal the bright red stamp on the back of her hand
Lutong lay on the ground in a very awkward manner, letting out a hearty laugh
Bewildering God
Forget it, let's settle the bill when you come back alive
A few disciples of the Yeyue Sect, dressed in robes, are sporadically standing on the tall city wall
Four small ones, each no larger than a little finger, are neatly arranged in a row below.
Lu Tong has made up his mind that even if the blacksmith at Liu demands an exorbitant price, he will still acquire this pair of iron arms
Watching the four sisters gradually recede into the distance, Dian Si'er tugged at Lu Tong's sleeve and opened her mouth to emit a "hiss" sound
... ...
However, it was unexpected that the large family had such a significant background, openly taking advantage of this crisis to amass great wealth
Lu Tong threw down the half bun in his hand, took out five taels of silver, and handed it to Da Han, instructing, "You don't need to open the door these days; just sleep here. There is food in the warehouse, and if you want something else, go buy it outside"
For an entire morning, Lu Tong practiced running in the courtyard
Six eyes, two large and four small
There have always been rumors in Yunying City that at least half of the orphans and half-demons in the city were abandoned by the Wanyuku.
The turtle demon walked slowly while occasionally uttering the name of a certain family
In the past, an ordinary magical instrument required approximately 50 taels
When guests in the teahouse boast, they often say that if they ever come into a windfall, they must go to the Wanyuku to indulge themselves
Lu Tong can understand why a disciple of the One Page Sect would take away the demon beast, after all, the One Page Sect is the main force in resisting the fog monsters
Dian Si'er clapped his hands four times, then covered his face with his hands, looking at Lu Tong with six pitiful eyes
The long road stretches ahead
Dian Si Er thought for a moment and walked over to Lu Tong's side
The elephant, which had originally been resting its trunk on the ground, immediately raised it high and let out a loud roar, then strode towards the low hill.
Lu Tong waved his hand in front of Dian Si'er’s eyes, yet there was still no response
Oh
Lu Tong felt fortunate for them
After much effort, Lu Tong finally found a well-informed and good-tempered old turtle demon, and he slowed his pace to engage in casual conversation with it.
The turtle demon slowly took a step forward
Not only the demon beasts, but even the cultivators of Yunying City are eager to seek refuge with the disciples of Yeyezong
He has some energy left to take care of Dian Si'er, but he is powerless against these four mindless giant spiders
Lu Tong initially thought that Dian Si Er was speaking, but when he turned his head, he saw Dian Si Er and her four sisters standing still, all gazing in the direction behind the mountain
A two-zhang tall stag, with antlers that are almost as wide as the city gate
Dian Si Er nodded.
For them, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Desires is not without its merits as a good destination
The disciple of the One Page Sect showed no reaction upon seeing it
Old Liu, I want it! How many taels of silver?
The blacksmith Liu shook his head, turned around, and left, leaving behind only a single sentence
Lu Tong's smile quickly faded as he asked, "Did your mother send you to Qianxue Mountain?"
A large group of monsters and half-demons completely filled the road leading to the city gate
Four children
Lu Tong encountered such a large number of demon beasts for the first time
A multitude of妖兽 and半妖 formed an endless black line.
Lu Tongli immediately understood why that giant elephant was so agitated
Lu Tong felt somewhat relieved. After explaining to her, he asked: "You have two choices: either go find the people from the Ten Thousand Desire Cave, without having to go to the Thousand Caves Mountain, but you will have to let them handle you afterwards. Or you can go to the Thousand Caves Mountain and take a gamble on whether you can survive."
Then a muffled voice echoed from the sky: "Blood Sealers, gather at the southern gate quickly!"
The slap is most appropriate, with the position and force being just right
The sound of clapping.
Exiting from Yunying City, it extends continuously towards Qianxue Mountain, which is over three hundred miles away
Lu Tong did not understand, but he knew what "Dian Si Er" meant, and he shook his head, saying: "Let them go."
Lu Tong frowned
He has heard this name many times
Occasionally, a lasso would fly out from the cloud chariot, ensnaring a demon beast's head, which would then leave the group directly and run towards the low mountain.
Lu Tong reached out and grabbed Dian Si'er
Lu Tong opened the door and saw a big-bellied woman squatting at the entrance. He patted her on the head and said with a smile: "Si'er, the door won't be opened these days, you should go back."
Marks left by iron claws can be found everywhere: on the walls, on the trees, and on the piles of stones
He is already mentally prepared
Even being a demon servant is far better than being in Qianxue Mountain
The physical body of that giant elephant is formidable; if it were willing to serve as a slave, it could be sold for at least several hundred to a thousand taels of silver. If it were to ascend Qianxue Mountain, it could withstand a large number of fog monsters
The Abyss of Infinite Desires
These beasts, which have not awakened their intelligence, have ascended Qianxue Mountain, facing certain death.
... ...
As I walked past the low hills, a series of faint hissing sounds reached my ears
He took a deep breath and forcefully slapped Dian Si'er across the face.
Lu Tong could not help but feel a sense of chill in his heart
Lu Tong walked ahead with a cane, while Dian Si'er closely followed beside him
