My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 423 Fangtooth Fairy

"You walked out of the cave where the Martial Lord's remains were, and sealed the outside entrance again. In order not to attract other people's attention, you also carved a breath-hiding talisman on the stone."

"In this way, even if someone accidentally passes by here, they will not know that there is a cave hidden here, let alone discover the remains of the Martial Lord inside."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you choose to continue climbing this mountain, or do you plan to find a place to rest and wait until your physical strength is fully restored before continuing your journey?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the game text, then looked up at the time on the wall. It was almost dawn and there was no need to rest. He might as well just go for it and try to seize the origin of the volcanic hell before daybreak.

"You choose to continue to explore..."

"This time, with the mysterious power of the Nine Deaths Cicada circulating in your body, your speed has increased a lot, and the damage caused by the high temperature has also been significantly weakened. Dead skin like cicada molting is constantly falling off your body, and new skin is constantly being generated."

"You can even feel that your internal organs are continuously strengthening. The sound of blood rushing is like waves crashing against the shore. Your overall physical fitness has also been greatly improved imperceptibly."

"You were attacked by the Burning Ghost."

"The Blazing Ghost is an extremely rare ghost from the underworld. Only among hundreds of souls burned to death by fire will a Blazing Ghost be born."

"This kind of ghost has flames burning all over its body, and its heart is filled with hatred and anger. Although it has long since turned into a dead soul, it can still feel the pain brought by the burning flames at all times."

"If you want to get rid of this pain, there are only two ways. Either become the master of a hell, or become a ghost messenger under the master of hell."

"How are you going to deal with this flaming ghost?"

"Do you intend to kill it completely on the volcano, or do you choose to suppress it and detain it under your command, so that it can become a capable assistant in establishing the Ghost Court in the future?"

Jiang Xinghuo just took a quick glance at the two options and immediately made his choice.

Moreover, he believed that anyone with a normal brain would not choose to kill this flaming ghost.

"You choose to subdue this blazing ghost, but before you subdue it, you must first be prepared to defeat it."

"The source of the Burning Ghost's power is the hatred and anger in its heart. As long as these two extreme emotions do not dissipate, the Burning Ghost's power will never weaken."

"You wielded the Dragon King's Dao soldiers in your hands and engaged in a fierce battle with the Blazing Ghost. After a fierce battle, you successfully defeated the Blazing Ghost."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You discovered that the flame burning on the Blazing Ghost is not an ordinary flame, but the most ferocious flame in the underworld, which is called the Yellow Spring Hell Fire by the underworld beings."

"Legend has it that this kind of fire was born in the underworld, and it has the power to corrode bones, corrode bodies, and devour souls. It is like a maggot attached to the bones, and no external force can extinguish it at all."

"Look at the Burning Ghost in front of you and promise it that if it can help you obtain the origin of the Volcanic Hell, I will free it from the pain of the Yellow Spring Hellfire, so that it will no longer have to suffer this endless pain."

"The Blazing Ghost pondered for a moment. I don't know if it sensed your sincerity or was forced to accept your conditions because it was outnumbered. Anyway, it agreed to help you seize the origin of the Volcano Prison."

"Do you believe what this burning ghost says?"

Two options, believe it or not.

After reading it, Jiang Xinghuo thought it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. He had the God-Binding Talisman in his hand and could completely control the other party with the talisman.

But I don't know if this behavior will provoke resistance from the Burning Ghost, leading to it and myself being destroyed together.

While Jiang Xinghuo was pondering this question in his mind, he saw new game text pop up on the screen.

"You have triggered the talent of the Hundred Flavor Eyes."

"You can see the true thoughts in the Burning Ghost's heart. It is not lying to you, but it really wants to help you become the master of the Volcano Prison."

"It has been sleeping in this volcanic prison for who knows how many years. It has also met many people who want to become the Lord of Hell. It also once wanted to fight for a position, but it ended in failure."

"The only person who could possibly succeed was the Martial Lord who climbed to the top of the mountain covered in blood. But he gave up the Origin of Hell that was about to be in his hands."

"The Burning Ghost also lost the chance to escape. Now it feels the same aura in you, so it is willing to trust itself again."

"Even if you fail in the end, it won't be a big loss. It's just a matter of waiting a few more years."

Tsk tsk, when Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the text, he thought that this Chi Ran Gui was really a gambler. If he won, everyone was happy, and if he lost, he didn't have to pay any price.

"You used your talent of the Hundred Eyes to see through the sincerity of the Blazing Ghost, and did not use the Binding Talisman to control it. The Blazing Ghost also told you to continue moving forward, and it will intercept all the monsters and demons that come up the mountain for you."

"As for the two powerful monsters on the mountain, it has no power to stop them because it is no match for them at all."

Two powerful monsters?
I saw that someone was already ahead of me.

While thinking about these things, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to continue walking up the mountain.

"You keep going..."

"You relied on the Nine Dead Cicada and Dead Tree Resurrection in your body to squeeze out your body's functions without any regard for the consequences. You reached the top of the mountain in the shortest possible time."

"But when you got here, you found that the two monsters had already started fighting."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to sit back and watch the fight, secretly waiting for them to decide the winner?"

"Or should we just go over and join in, and suppress these two evil monsters with force?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and felt that now was not the time to force himself to take the lead. He should wait until they decided the winner. After all, they were all competitors, and no matter who won or lost in the end, it would not be a loss to them. "You chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hiding in a blind spot where you couldn't see them. At the same time, you took out the map left by the martial master from your arms."

"You found an inconspicuous cave based on the map left by the Martial Lord and the special environment on the volcano."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the origin of the volcanic hell should be hidden in that cave."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that he had finally found his target, and all he had to do next was wait for a while.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Half an hour later.

A prompt message came from the game.

"The fight between the two monsters has come to an end. In the end, both were injured and died on this volcano."

"Do you want to go out and investigate?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. Both of them were dead. This was an unexpected surprise. It also saved him the trouble of taking action later.

"You walked out of the boulder where you were hiding and came to the two bodies. Do you want to touch them?"

"You chose to touch the corpse, and you gained something."

"You found a fragmented corpse of a Fire Dragon Gu Master (excellent), an incomplete corpse of a Fangtooth Fairy (rare), a pair of black iron fists (rare), a Fire Dragon Gu corpse (rare), a broken Gu pot (excellent), a gourd of sulfur wine (excellent), a copy of "The Great Dream Heart Method" (special), two fangs of a Taotie (excellent), a replica of a sea mirror (ordinary), and an autobiography of the Fangtooth Fairy."

Wow, after seeing the information given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had such a rich harvest. Most of the things were of rare quality.

It seems that these two monsters are not ordinary people, otherwise they would not have been able to get here without seeing the crowd. But in the end, they died together. Not only did they get the things on their bodies for free, but they also gave up the origin of hell. They are really good people!
Jiang Xinghuo took advantage of the situation and started to count the things one by one with his eyes shining.

"The corpse of a Fire Dragon Gu Master (excellent material). The remains of a Gu Master from the secular Nanyang region. He was one of the direct disciples of Nanyang Wanjiao Zhenjun. Due to the long-term breeding of fire Gu, he accumulated a lot of fire poison, so the corpse has a certain medicinal value."

"But this corpse has been blown into pieces, and most of the medicinal properties in the body have been lost. Although it can be used as a raw material for refining pills, its value is far less than when the corpse was intact."

"The body of the Fangtooth Immortal (rare material), the body of the Fangtooth Immortal, one of the twelve disciples under the Martial Lord. Because he is greedy and likes to sleep, he has developed a fat body, which can effectively resist the enemy's attack. In addition, when the fat trembles, it can transmit all the power it bears to the ground, and the power it bears itself will be reduced to one hundredth."

"However, when the Fanged Fairy was fighting with the Fire Dragon Gu Master, its body was bitten by the Fire Dragon Gu and was completely mutilated, and it also lost a lot of its medicinal value. It can only be said that it is better than nothing."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo remembered the Wind-Controlling Immortal he had met before, who was also one of the twelve disciples of the Lord of War. He didn't expect that by chance he would meet the Fang-Tooth Immortal here again.

Judging from their names, they should be closely related to the Twelve Earthly Branches. The Wind-Controlling Immortal may be the Horse of the Noon, because its ability is related to speed, and the Fang-Tooth Immortal should be the Pig of the Hai.

The game text describes it very clearly that the Fangtooth Immortal likes to eat and sleep, and this personality is very similar to that of a creature like a pig.

These thoughts flashed through Jiang Xinghuo's mind quickly. Jiang Xinghuo collected the two corpses first to see if they could be used in the future. If not, he would just sell them for some incense.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo counted the remaining things.

"Black Iron Fist Gloves (Rare Item), a pair of heavy black iron gloves, just right for the Fangtooth Fairy's burly body and terrifying brute strength, possessing the property of being indestructible. The greater the strength of the body, the greater the power that can be exerted."

"The corpse of the Fire Dragon Gu (a rare item), a peculiar Gu worm inherited from the South Seas. Although it is called the Fire Dragon Gu, it is actually a fire python. This is because the South Sea Dharma lineage is greatly influenced by Buddhism, and the dragons in Buddhist stories are not the dragons and jiao in the Middle Earth. They are just pythons with scales, which can be big or small, shorter than an inch, or hundreds of feet long."

"Broken Gu jar (excellent item), a tool used by Fire Dragon Gu Masters to raise Gu worms. However, it has been shattered by the Black Iron Fist Gloves and has lost its original value. It can be used as an upgrade material for forging and strengthening urns."

"Sulfur wine (excellent material), a Tudi wine mixed with a large amount of high-concentration sulfur, specially used to feed the Fire Dragon Gu, and can also be used as a medicinal material to expel poison."

"The Great Dream Heart Sutra (special technique), a unique skill that the Martial Lord taught to Fangtooth Fairy. One can improve his cultivation just by sleeping, and there is no upper limit, so the level cannot be assessed. Theoretically speaking, if one can sleep for hundreds or thousands of years, the benefits of this technique may not be worse than those of mythical techniques."

"Be careful, this technique can only be practiced by creatures other than humans. Once an ordinary person practices this technique, they are likely to die in their sleep and never wake up."

"Do you want to practice this technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and directly chose no. It is better to avoid such uncontrollable skills.

But it is not completely useless. I can give this secret book to Xiaoyao Mengdie later. Maybe it can help Xiaoyao Mengdie to improve his abilities.

"Taotie Fangs (Excellent Item), two dentures made from Taotie Fangs. They can be inlaid on your own fangs. They can easily tear apart the toughest dragon tendons, and even diamonds can be bitten into pieces."

"Among the twelve disciples, the one that the Wu Master loves the most is Fang-toothed Immortal. This fat disciple can eat and sleep well, doesn't go out to cause trouble, and knows how to please the Master."

"So I specially found a gluttonous beast, broke off its fangs and gave them to my apprentice."

Jiang Xinghuo had no interest in these two teeth. He didn't have such a strong taste. He felt a little uncomfortable taking someone else's teeth and using them himself.

"Imitation of the Sea Mirror (common item), a treasure made by the Tanka people in the Nanyue region based on the original Sea Mirror. It can illuminate the dark and dark deep sea with the power of the sun and moon."

"The Fangtooth Fairy has two major hobbies in his life, besides sleeping and eating. In order to eat fish, shrimp, shellfish and crabs from the deep sea, he went to the Tanka Village by the sea, established good relations with the Tanka villagers, and asked for a sea mirror so that he could enjoy a feast."

"But this thing also has a small disadvantage, which is that it can only be used with the help of sunlight or moonlight. It is not like a real sea mirror that can illuminate the seabed without external power."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text, took out the thing and took a look. It was a 30-centimeter square mirror. The mirror surface was like jade. It could not reflect images, but it could gather light together.

“Isn’t this just an improved version of the searchlight?”

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

Happy New Year everyone!!
