Chapter 296 Liu Bai kills the embryo [asking for monthly ticket]

"How did you discover the origin of this evil?"

Huang Shang looked at the blood beads on the ground, and at Shi Shanfeng, whose face looked a little pale after plucking the string of fate several times in a row, with surprise in his eyes.

"Go ahead, go back."

Lei Xu said very seriously: "The two hands of this evil creature previously had ridiculous strength. It is difficult for ordinary evil creatures to have such ability. There is a 90% chance that it is the embryo of the throne in this taboo."

After killing the throne embryo, some action must be taken according to the taboo.

Either other throne embryos will come to attack together, or a big one will come.

So the only way is to kill and run.

"What do you mean by having my strength?"

Hu Shuo was very dissatisfied with this statement, but he ran faster than Lei Xu and the other three.

Shi Shanfeng consumed a lot of energy, so he naturally came last. But before leaving, he looked back again.

Because that voice rang in his ears again.

"Tell Hei Mu when you get out. I might be back late."

It was not until this moment that he concluded that Liu Bai... was actually an evil spirit!
When he first plucked the string of fate, the familiar aura he sensed made him hesitate.

And later on, Liu Bai pointed out the source of the evil spirit, and now he is helping to convey the message.

That's basically admitting it.

Liu Bai just stood there, watching their leaving backs, and the voice of the grass echoed in his heart.

"Sir, you are just exposing yourself like this?"

"Even if I don't expose it, he will see it. At most, he will go back to verify it. There is no need to hide it."

If we talk about Liu Bai before he experienced the incident with the Bai family, he might still hide a thing or two.

But now... there's no need.

Liu Bai's figure rose into the sky again, and he didn't feel relieved until he saw them out of the dense forest.

"These few came in and fled without seeing anything."

Liu Bai smiled in his heart and fell back to the ground again.

Before he could even take a breath, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, followed by a whispering voice in his ears.

"That birdman is actually dead, and was killed by a ghost."

"and who are you?"

Liu Bai turned his head and couldn't see anything, but he could feel a gust of cold wind swirling around his right hand side.

This evil spirit must have some abilities.

Even he himself can't see his true form.

"Feng Xing."

The evil spirit said a name, and then asked: "Did you see the people who killed the bird man?"

"No, I just got here too. They had already left when I arrived."

While Liu Bai was talking, he saw a clay man coming out of the ground in front of him. As soon as he appeared, he shouted loudly: "This bird man is dead? What a pity. Who did this? Let's kill him to avenge the bird man."

Then Liu Bai felt that the wind around him had left, as if it had arrived next to the clay figure.

"You only dare to say this because you didn't sense the presence of the ghost walker nearby. Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to show up."

"Old Ghost Feng, you want to die, right? Others can't trap you, but I can!"

The clay man roared, and a wall of earth rose up on the flat ground around him. However, in the blink of an eye, it was taller than the ancient tree and closed in on all sides, trapping Liu Bai inside.

"Are you two going to have a fight too?"

Another strange sound came from outside the earth wall, followed by a sound like a stream of water being poured down.

The earth walls on all four sides began to melt and fall back to the ground.

Liu Bai also saw the new evil spirit.

Different from the wind in front of us, there is also this clay figure.

The new guy in front of me... is indeed a ghost, and a water ghost at that.

His skin was swollen and white from being soaked, and was full of wrinkles. His hair was disheveled, and rotten water kept dripping from him as he walked. He also emitted a strong smell of death.

When he saw him, Liu Bai's first thought was that this man might be the old water ghost's subordinate!

If that were the case, then it could die.

But Liu Bai did not forget that he also had two enemies in this taboo. One was the water ghost in the old puddle, and the other was the zombie on the Flame Mountain.

These two were the ones who surrounded and killed Madam Liu in front of Liu Bai in the past.

Although I don't have the strength to kill them both now, I can still kill the throne embryos under their command.

"You're a water ghost, you run pretty fast."

The clay man angrily retracted his methods.

The water ghost looked around again, and finally landed on Liu Bai. "Whose Lord on the throne are you working for? It looks like... you should be quite capable, you can't be an unknown person."

"I was born in the wilderness, so I am used to being carefree."

The corners of Liu Bai's mouth curled up, and a faint "crackling" sound came from the horns on his head, which was considered a response to the water ghost.

The latter did not really take action. After looking away, he said, "It seems that after suffering a few losses, those so-called geniuses of the human race also know to travel together."

“We can’t be alone anymore.”

Feng Xing's erratic voice came, "Then let's go together and kill some of the Yin people."

"Heh, I, King Kong Tu, will not associate with you."

The clay figure remained arrogant as always, but its body turned into a handful of yellow earth and scattered on the ground, disappearing.

"He should be looking for someone to kill."

Feng Xing said as he came to Liu Bai again, and said to the water ghost in the cold wind: "Shui Ze, why didn't you take action after the little ghost came?"

"The kid said he only wanted to kill Qi Yin, and he also wanted to fight Liu Bai. He didn't care about anyone else."

This water ghost is called Shuize.

Liu Bai pricked up his ears and heard another important piece of news.

Among these throne embryos, the most powerful one should be the evil creature called "Little Devil".

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant and directly target Qi Yin.

But his statement of "kill Qi Yin and fight with Liu Bai" is very strange. It seems that although this man is strong, he still has some self-awareness.

Not crazy.

"let's go."

Shuize led the way, with Fengxing Gui floating beside it. After a little thought, Liu Bai chose to follow.

The three eunuchs headed northward for half a day, but they did not meet any other human geniuses, nor did they meet any strong Yin people. They only met a Yin-nourishing god.

It seems like he is looking for some treasure in this dense forest. It is quite brave.

Before Liu Bai could even say anything, Shuize, the water ghost, spat a mouthful of dirty water at him.

Even his Yin spirit didn't have time to leave his body before they all died.

This continued until sunset, when Feng Xing stopped and said, "It's night time now. Most of the people who were walking in the woods have gone back, and some have gone into hiding. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I have to go back and meet them."

"Yeah, that's fine. Two brothers from the old water pit have also come over."

As Shuize was speaking, a puddle of dirty water suddenly fell on his body, and his body slowly sank into the dirty water, sinking deeper and deeper.

Liu Bai looked around, leaned back, and instantly flew far away and disappeared.

"What a quick skill."

Feng Xing couldn't help but exclaim before leaving.

The swamp has disappeared, leaving only a pool of dirty water on the ground. It can disappear from here and come back here next time.

Liu Bai headed south along the same path he came from, passing through the dense forest.

The grass had something to say in his heart, but he ignored it.

And the speed was getting faster and faster, but he couldn't get rid of that feeling, so... he stopped.

"You've been following me for so long, come out and talk if you have anything to say."

The surroundings were quiet and dark. Even the moonlight could not break through the clouds and tree shadows. There was no wind and everything was stagnant.

But at this moment, a drop of water suddenly fell from the tree crown.

"Tick-tock-"

The water drops fell in front of Liu Bai and instantly turned into a small puddle.

A drowned ghost crawled out of the water again. It raised its head and looked at Liu Bai who was right in front of it. It asked very seriously: "Are you really from the wilderness?"

"Yes."

Liu Bai blurted out without any hesitation.

"Are you interested in our old watering hole? If so, I can introduce you to it."

Shuize said as he walked out of the puddle on the ground, "I can feel that you are very powerful. If you are willing, in time, you will definitely be able to establish a... throne in this forbidden area."

When Mizusawa said this, he lowered his voice, which sounded extremely bewitching.

Is it really this old water ghost... And I just heard from Shuize that two evil spirits came over from the old water ghost's side.

This is a good opportunity.

Shuize saw Liu Bai hesitating, so he didn't rush him and just waited.

After a long while, he finally answered, "I'll go with you first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

After hearing this, Shuize actually forced a smile on his pale and wrinkled face.

"Easy to say."

In its opinion, as long as Liu Bai didn't refuse at the first time, it would be no different from agreeing.

How could this evil spirit that grew up in the mountains not be tempted after seeing what the background is?
But if I do this, the pressure on myself will be much greater.

So as to avoid losing your own position.

So Liu Bai followed the water ghost in a logical way, and asked him along the way: "How are you all arranged for these throne embryos now? I have also met many on the road, and their strength is not that strong."

Mizusawa chuckled when he heard that.

"Right now, most of them haven't come yet, so everyone is just joking around, waiting for everyone to come. Then we will make arrangements at the mass grave. When that time comes, we will kill those human geniuses like slaughtering dogs."

"As for strength... there are certainly differences. For example, the birdman from Laurel Palace who died today, I killed him like butchering a dog."

Killing you would be like killing a dog... Liu Bai added in his mind.

He asked, "Mass grave? Why do you all have to follow their arrangements? I can't listen to them."

There was a hint of sneer in Liu Bai's voice as he spoke.

"There is no other way. The owner of the mass grave is indeed very capable. Besides, this is an order from the First Throne. Who dares not to obey?"

While Shuize was speaking, he glanced coldly at Liu Bai.

"You are just a rookie, so don't act like a fool. You'd better know that there are always better things."

"The first throne... must be the old temple keeper."

"Yes."

Liu Bai then pretended to be terrified, and then naturally changed the subject, "How will the mass grave be arranged by then?"

Liu Bai asked questions that seemed like he was trying to find out information, but Shuize had no such idea at all.

Evil spirits are naturally taboo ghosts.

"Then only those in the mass grave will know. By then, it will most likely be the owner of the embryo grave who will preside over everything."

Mizusawa said.

The owner of the embryo tomb, Liu Bai remembered that all the assassinations against the Tianjiao in Zouyin City were done by him. Even "Qiyin's brother", or Qiyin, died at his hands once.

"I have heard of the embryo grave owner. Could it be that he is also a throne embryo?"

If this is really the case, then the owner of this embryo tomb would be in a bit of a troublesome situation.

"Yes, he is the master of the mass grave. How can the disciple known as 'Man-Slayer' not be considered a potential candidate for the throne?"

Speaking of the embryo grave owner, Shuize sighed, "He is amazing. He really waits for all the throne embryos to arrive. Even the little ghosts have to listen to his arrangements and be under his control."

"Kid?"

Liu Bai was like a dull ghost who had just come to the big city from the mountains and knew nothing.

Shuize has also gotten used to it. If Liu Bai really knew everything, he would still have a hint of doubt.

But Liu Bai knows nothing, which is consistent with his identity.

"Among us throne embryos, if we talk about strategy, the embryo grave master is the best, no one can surpass him, but if we talk about strength, the little ghost is the best."

"Oh?"

"He comes from the Mountain of the Gods."

Just this one sentence says it all.

The two ghosts continued to shuttle through the dense forest, and Liu Bai let Shuize lead the way in front, going deeper into the taboo.

"Then how are the throne embryos selected? Are there any standards or requirements?"

Liu Bai stretched his arms and legs and said, "I think my strength is not bad. At least the clay man today couldn't beat me."

"Hey, as long as there is a throne that likes you and is willing to accept you, then you are a throne embryo and can enjoy many benefits."

Shuize smiled, feeling very proud and cocky.

"So, I have to go meet the old master of the water hole before I can do anything?"

"Why not?"

The water ghost stopped and looked at Liu Bai in front of him in surprise. Just after looking at him carefully, he inexplicably aroused a feeling in his heart.

Damn, even though he’s a ghost, he’s still so handsome!
"It's okay. I'm just a little excited at the thought of meeting the legendary Lord of the Throne." Liu Bai said with a smile, saying nonsense that he himself didn't believe.

But Shui Ze believed it. Ghost stories are meant for ghosts to hear.

The two ghosts headed westward and it took them almost an hour.

Liu Bai finally noticed that the ground under his feet was muddy. This... was also an old puddle. Although it was not the "Ghost Lake" that was known as the birthplace of all the old puddle in the world, it was probably the place where Shuize and the other throne embryos who came out of the old puddle settled.

Sure enough, Shuize had just returned when bubbles began to gurgle in the puddle in front of him.

The rotten and smelly sewage rolled, and finally two rotten heads emerged from it.

"Why did you come back just now?"

"Who is this? From which family?"

They asked in unison.

"It's wild. I'll bring it back to show its owner."

Liu Bai looked at the two half-exposed water ghosts and asked, "Are you the only three of us who are the embryos for the throne of our old water pit?"

"Do you think the throne embryo is something that is common on the street?"

One of the water ghosts sneered.

When Liu Bai heard this, his face changed immediately. He pointed at him, turned around and said to Shuize with an angry face: "If I kill him, can I become the embryo of the throne?"

"How dare you!"

This water ghost was obviously a strong-willed person. He slapped the water and stood up immediately, but was stopped by another water ghost.

Shui Ze also said to Liu Bai in a serious tone:
"We are all in the same group. We are all ghosts. There is no need to fight and kill each other."

"I'm already a ghost, do I still have to live a timid life?!"

Liu Bai raised his voice a little, and sounded increasingly angry.

Shui Ze lost all his patience and said in a low voice, "Do you really think you are such a big shot?"

Liu Bai crossed his arms over his chest and slowly floated up. "So, you don't agree with me killing it, and you want to stop me?"

"How is it?"

As Shuize spoke, the old puddle on the ground continued to spread in all directions.

"In that case, you two should die together."

As soon as Liu Bai's voice fell, the ghost den expanded, and in an instant the entire old puddle turned into a sea of ​​corpses and blood. Its power was so great that it even crushed all the ghost dens in the water in an instant.

When it was just a filthy creature before, Liu Bai killed it as easily as butchering a dog.

Not to mention that he had consumed several blood lotuses to become a ghost, and it felt very satisfying to use all his strength to open up the ghost den.

"what?!"

Shuize looked at the drastic changes in the surrounding environment and his own oppressed body, and felt panicked.

"Die."

Above the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, Liu Bai sat high on the throne of bones, looking down on Shuize and the other two water ghosts on the ground.

Immediately he raised his right hand and slowly pressed it down.

In an instant, a dark crack appeared in the ghost den, and a spot of black appeared in the blood.

It was as if a ghost in the sky opened its eyes.

Shuize felt as if facing a formidable enemy, with dirty water constantly pouring out of his body. He wanted to corrode Liu Bai's evil spirit and escape.

But it was still too late after all.

The rift opened, and three bolts of Yin thunder mixed with thunder of entropy fell.

"boom--"

The thunders of entropy fell one by one and struck the heads of the three water ghosts.

Under the entropy change, the two water ghosts that appeared later instantly turned into blood-colored Yin beads and scattered all over the ground. Only Shuize held on for a while.

But his body had become shriveled and extremely old, and no more dirty water was flowing out of his body. Instead, he was absorbing the dirty water from the ground bit by bit.

Looking at this fragile water ghost, Liu Bai lost much interest.

He stood up and took a step forward, arriving in front of the water. Then he leaned forward slightly and said with a hint of disdain:

"That's it?"

"Return the throne embryo?"

"laugh--"

While waiting for Liu Bai to stand up again, the water turned into Yin Pearl.

He took a few more steps forward, the blood color between the sky and the earth gradually faded away, the blood beads on the ground disappeared, and his figure also disappeared.

The ground...is still the same old puddle.

But in a moment, several more ghostly figures appeared nearby.

Under the cover of night, their whispers could be heard.

"Are these the ones from the old water hole? Was there a ghost fight here just now?"

"Shui Ze, Shui Laogui, are you still alive?"

"If you don't speak, you're not dead..."

"Why worry about it? The master of the embryo grave will take care of it. Let's go."

"..."

The ghosts came quickly and left quickly, and then several more groups of ghosts came here and waited until the end.

A young man in a black robe appeared beside the old puddle.

On the back of the black robe was embroidered a skeleton, as tall as a person. In the darkness, the young man walked back and forth, like... a moving skeleton.

If Shuize was not dead, he would definitely be able to recognize this evil creature that looked no different from a human.

It was the throne embryo from the mass grave.

Embryo grave owner.

He just looked at the old puddle for a few seconds, then took out a skull from his sleeve and shouted into it, "Little devil."

After shouting, he put the skull away. After just a few breaths, a figure walked out of the darkness behind him.

He was dressed in black and was only half the height of the tomb owner, but he carried an iron rod about ten feet long on his shoulder.

"What's the matter?" asked the kid.

"Shuize is dead." said the owner of the embryo grave.

"If he dies, he dies. It has nothing to do with me."

The imp sneered.

"We killed them ourselves."

The owner of the embryo tomb could sense the presence of something from the grass and trees nearby. In addition to the swamps, there were other evil creatures that had spread out of the ghost den.

But there was no breath of the Yin person to ignite the fire of life.

"Oh?"

The kid understood now. He put his hands on the iron rod on his shoulders and said, "You want me to kill a throne embryo, right?"

"Tell me, who to kill?"

The little ghost was not surprised by this. Other evil spirits would not dare to kill the throne embryo, but there was nothing he would not dare to do.

The embryo grave owner did not answer directly, but looked at the old puddle in front of him and said: "The two who have a grudge against each other are the corpse woman of Huoyan Mountain and the old dragon king of Bi Bo Tan."

"But the embryos of these two families are not as strong as Shuize, not to mention that Lao Shuikeng sent all three embryos this time."

"Even if these two families fight, it will probably be a tough fight. It's impossible for them to kill so silently."

The little ghost listened to the analysis of the embryo grave owner and said impatiently: "It's not this and it's not that. If you really can't make it, just say that I killed them. There are not many ghosts like us who can kill these three quietly."

The owner of the embryo grave was not surprised when he heard the little ghost's complaints. He hesitated for a moment before uttering a name.

"Water snake."

"You doubt it?"

The little ghost, who was originally impatient, was no longer impatient after hearing what the owner of the embryo tomb said, but was just a little surprised.

He knew who the water snake was.

This is the throne embryo from the Weeping River, and also the disciple of the two-headed dragon. He is not an evil spirit, but a river monster.

"This thing does have this power, but..."

The kid frowned.

He also knew a hint of the plan in the taboo, that the old water pit was to be connected to the Weeping River. But precisely because of this, how could the water snake from the Weeping River attack the water?

There was no need for the owner of the embryo grave to explain it any further, the little ghost guessed it after thinking about it.

If the Kusang River and the Lao Shuikeng are really connected, Shuize, the embryo of the throne, will be gone. Then who will get all the wealth and honor?
In this way, the motivation is also there.

The little ghost turned around and looked up at the embryo grave owner in front of him, with only one word, "Kill?"

The owner of the embryo grave slowly shook his head.

"For such a big matter, Old Shuikeng will definitely come to the front line in person. When the time comes, our master will come forward and we will just watch."

"..."

It was early morning.

As soon as Liu Bai and Hei Mu returned to the city wall, they heard the news that Xu Wenyuan had come to Yincheng.
