Qingyunxian

Chapter 37 Stepping on the Immortal Mountain

The cautious habit Liu Tianhe had developed over the years made him tell everyone to escape without hesitation.

We don’t want all this stuff on the floor!
Even a warrior like Liu Wu who has reached the transformation stage, with the evil spirit activated and a powerful aura all over his body, cannot stop the maggots from devouring his flesh and blood.

Liu Wu originally collected Yin Sha as seeds, but the Yin Sha surrounding his body could not corrode the bodies of the maggots, as if these maggots themselves were living in the Yin Sha.

They calmly and easily devoured the pack elephant that Liu Wu had transformed into.

Maybe the maggots should thank Liu Wu for growing bigger to provide them with more food!

The survivors followed Liu Tianhe and fled, and no one dared to care about the goods.

Liu Xun, who was also in the crowd, had the chance to look back and discovered that the maggots that had partially devoured Liu Wu were crawling back, dragging their fat bodies.

He immediately realized that these maggots were probably hunting.

Where on earth did they come from?
Liu Xun still needs to rely on the caravan to enter Qingdeng Village, so it is not convenient for him to reveal his identity as a celestial immortal at this moment.

Looking up and seeing the anxious Liu Tianhe, Liu Xun's mind suddenly changed, and he also said anxiously: "Master, these maggots are too fast. Should we turn around and go around to Weishan City to take shelter there?"

It was not yet the turn of Liu Xun, a new face, to speak here, but Liu Tianhe was so scared at the moment that he had no time to think about these things.

Hearing Liu Xun's suggestion, Liu Tianhe was startled and was about to agree with this suggestion, but then he reacted: "It's not appropriate. Liu Wu, a martial artist in the Transformation Realm, is dead. How can Weishan City, which doesn't even have a martial artist in the Transformation Realm, stop these maggots?"

Liu Xun sped up a little and passed the person next to him.

The person next to him looked at Liu Xun in horror. Why could his speed become faster?

The swarm of maggots covered the man and began to eat him on the spot.

The satiated maggots began to turn back.

Liu Xun spoke at the right time: "Master Steward, is there any place nearby that can resist these ghosts?"

Liu Tianhe wiped his sweat and looked at Liu Xun in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid could run so fast.

After being reminded by Liu Xun, Liu Tianhe remembered this place.

"Qingdeng Village!" Liu Tianhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

The distance from here to Qingdeng Village is similar to the distance back to Weishan City. There are several powerful celestial beings guarding Qingdeng Village. If there is any place that can stop these maggots, it must be Qingdeng Village.

Liu Tianhe thought to himself, I am good friends with a Yunxian in Qingdeng Village. Although they are xenophobic, they will not stand by and watch someone die.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianhe quickened his speed and fled desperately towards Qingdeng Village.

Liu Xun behind him curved his lips a little and also ran away silently.

Those who run slowly will die among the maggots, and only those who run fast can survive.

The pack horses had been left in the camp, and in the haste of the escape no one had unhooked one to ride.

Now they can only escape on foot!
Fortunately, the maggots gradually retreated after eating, leaving only the maggots that had not eaten yet to chase after them.

In the ruins of Dalong City, where the city lord's mansion was originally located, there was an underground secret room filled with shadows and countless maggots crawling on the ground.

The maggots were coiled together and gradually began to melt.

Maggots are constantly pouring out of the bodies of those dead White Skeleton Yakshas and are scattering into the wilderness to hunt. The well-fed maggots are crawling into the underground secret room, spontaneously expanding the maggot pile.

As more and more maggots came back from hunting, a face slowly melted out from the top of the pile.

With a hideous smile on his face, he slowly spoke in human language: "I will not lose this round!"

After running for an unknown amount of time, Liu Tianhe let out a long cry, a look of joy in his eyes: "We're almost there."

Liu Xun lowered his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, it was worth it for him to wait until now.

The group of people ran at least two mountains away before they could see the outline of the isolated peak where Qingdeng Village was located. Looking back, they found that the maggots had disappeared long ago. They half relaxed their hearts and leaned against the tree trunk, breathing heavily.

Liu Xun was lying on the ground in an even more "unbearable" state, as if he was paralyzed.

Others did not find it strange. The warriors in the caravan were all running hard. It would be abnormal if Liu Xun, a "mortal", was more resilient than the warriors.

Ignoring Liu Xun, the mortal who was running almost to death, Liu Tianhe pointed to the mountain where Qingdeng Village was located and said, "Let's go to Qingdeng Village to rest first!"

Although the group of maggots are no longer chasing us, now that we are here, we can go to Qingdeng Village to take shelter for the night.

It is very dangerous in the wilderness. Now Liu Wu, a warrior in the Transformation Realm, is dead, and most of the warriors in the caravan are killed or injured. Liu Tianhe does not have the confidence to walk such a long distance back to the Pig Village.

Perhaps we can ask the people from Qingdeng Village to send a message back to Zhu Village, asking the ancestors to send new warriors in the Transformation Realm to pick them up.

Liu Tianhe sighed. This time when he returned, his position as manager might be in jeopardy.

Liu Xun's legs were swinging as he rested his hands on the shoulder of a kind warrior. He looked obviously tired and his eyes were filled with thoughts on what to do next.

In the previous life, the caravan from the Pig Village was not in such a mess. When Liu Tianhe was returning, he passed by the Qingdeng Village and stayed there for two days. He chatted with a celestial being from the Qingdeng Village and bought a batch of wind weasel saliva.

The only one from Zhu Village who can do business with Qingdeng Village is Liu Tianhe.

Even other managers in the Pig Village cannot set foot in the Qingdeng Village.

This time the caravan encountered strange maggots and suffered heavy losses. Liu Tianhe wants to keep his position as manager in the turbulent Pig Village, and will certainly not give up Qingdeng Village, which is the place he relies on to turn the situation around.

Considering Liu Xun's familiarity with Liu Tianhe, he would definitely take the opportunity of reminiscing about the past to propose purchasing the wind weasel saliva in order to make a comeback.

Therefore, Liu Xun was not worried that he would not be able to enter Qingdeng Village.

The solitary peak is covered by mountains and forests all around, like a huge tripod lying on the ground.

The people of Qingdeng Village called the isolated peak under their feet "Stepping on the Immortal Mountain", which means it was transformed from a cauldron that was stepped on by an immortal.

At the foot of the Immortal Mountain, Liu Tianhe carefully looked around, then turned around and sternly warned the others: "Once you enter Qingdeng Village, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, don't touch things you shouldn't touch, and don't walk around casually. If you die, don't blame me!"

Several people, including Liu Xun, nodded repeatedly.

Liu Tianhe took a deep breath and shouted towards the Qixian Mountain: "Friends from Qingdeng Village, I have an old acquaintance with Elder Deng Yuan from your village. Our caravan has encountered danger this time, so I would like to seek shelter in your village for a while."

There were people patrolling the Immortal Mountain from Qingdeng Village all the time. When they heard Liu Tianhe's voice, they shouted at the entrance of the mountain, "Who are you?"

"I am Liu Tianhe!"

After a while, there was no sound at the entrance of the mountain.

Just as Liu Tianhe was waiting anxiously, a burst of laughter came from halfway up the Qixian Mountain.

A gray sparrow several dozen feet in size flew down, and a man leisurely jumped off its back: "Brother Tianhe, how are you?"

Seeing this man's appearance, Liu Tianhe couldn't help but show his joy: "Brother Deng, how are you?"

Deng Yuan came up and gave him a big hug. Seeing the embarrassed caravan members nearby, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Tianhe wiped his sweat and said bitterly: "Hey, don't mention it. The caravan encountered a great danger. It's good enough that we can escape."

Deng Yuan nodded: "Trading in the Great Wilderness is a very dangerous job. It's a job that requires your head to be on your waist."

"Brother, now that you have survived this disaster, what are you going to do? Can I help you?"

Liu Tianhe looked embarrassed, but after thinking for a while, he finally said, "I want to borrow your place to rest. Without the Transformation Realm warriors, the caravan can hardly move forward."

"By the way, I also want to buy some of Qingdeng Village's specialty, the Wind Weasel Saliva."
