Chapter 78 Jiguan Mountain

The yellow dog had a long whip tied around its neck and was leading the way to find the patrolling demons.

On the way to Jiguana Mountain, Lu Zheng killed several demons.

They were all ordinary first-level demons and ghosts, with no strength at all. They didn't even notice Lu Zheng before their sinful lives ended.

There are many rocks on Jiguana Mountain, with rugged and strange shapes. The mountain is steep and there is no road leading up the mountain.

However, Bai Jin and other demons have occupied the mountain for many years, and they have built many passages and nests inside the mountain, allowing the demons to go up and down the mountain and live in the mountain.

The yellow dog walked carefully all the way and brought Lu Zheng and An Jing to a place at the foot of the mountain, and then stopped.

It spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's. "There is a road leading up the mountain ahead, guarded by General Black Bear..."

General Hei Xiong is a demon general under Bai Jin. He is a black bear that has become a spirit and has the cultivation level of the second realm.

Lu Zheng checked the map and found that according to what Nightmare had said, there was indeed a passage leading up the mountain.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng walked over quietly with his sword in hand.

An Jing was holding the yellow dog and trailed behind a little so as not to affect Lu Zheng's movements.

As he got closer, Lu Zheng saw a demonic aura lingering around the rocks in front of him. Listening carefully, he could even hear a heavy breathing sound.

He slowed down his pace and then followed the direction of the sound.

After walking for a while, Lu Zheng saw a black bear sleeping soundly against a huge rock, snoring loudly.

The black bear man was nearly ten feet tall, fat and strong, and there was a strong fishy and evil smell coming from his mouth and nose.

Lu Zheng glanced around and saw that there were no other monsters or ghosts around.

He did not waste any time. He stepped lightly and rushed towards the black bear monster like an arrow.

Then, Lu Zheng jumped up and pierced the black bear monster's throat with his sharp sword.

It is difficult to kill a bear monster of this size with just one sword.

If the other party is still alive, he will definitely make a lot of noise.

So Lu Zheng first attacked the throat, a weak point, to prevent the black bear demon from roaring and alerting other demons.

The black bear demon was still sleeping and was completely unaware of the danger.

Lu Zheng stabbed the black bear's throat with a sword. The sharp tip of the sword, wrapped in the mighty sword energy, cut through the black bear's thick skin and pierced the throat.

Lu Zhengben wanted to use this sword to cut off the black bear's spine.

But the black bear was awakened by the pain and tilted its head to avoid the vital parts.

Suddenly, scarlet blood gushed out from the black bear's neck.

"Uh……"

The black bear hadn't realized what was happening yet. He was filled with shock and anger, and made indistinct sounds.

At this time, Lu Zheng stabbed the black bear's heart with another sword.

The black bear covered its bleeding neck with one hand and slapped Lu Zheng with its other paw, which was like a palm-leaf fan, creating a gust of wind.

Lu Zheng dodged and kept his distance.

Seeing that Lu Zheng did not kill the bear monster immediately, An Jing shook the long whip in his hand, and the whip was as fast as thunder, and turned to roll towards the bear monster's neck.

With a strong pull, the bear demon, which was already unstable, suddenly lost its balance.

An Jing locked its neck, and the original wound enlarged, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng moved closer to the black bear, and the long sword in his hand exhaled sword energy, and he pierced the black bear's right eye socket accurately with one sword.

Then he continued to thrust the sword deeper, and the surging righteous energy also poured into his head.

The bear demon let out an indistinct scream, and its huge body hit the ground with a dull sound.

But it did not die immediately. Instead, it went into a frenzy and became a little crazy, wanting to attack Lu Zheng in a final gamble.

However, Lu Zheng did not give it such an opportunity. He raised his sword and stabbed it into the bear monster's neck. The sword hit the spine and cut it off.

Not far away, a yellow dog was running wildly on all fours.

Seeing Lu Zheng and the other two dealing with the bear demon, they didn't care about themselves at all and just fled away. It didn't shout out loud to avoid attracting attention.

However, before it could run far, one of its heads suddenly exploded into a ball of bloody mist.

The headless corpse ran a few more steps before falling to the ground.

An Jing calmly withdrew his gaze, still wanting to escape right under her nose, he really didn't know how to live or die.

On this side, the black bear demon was also completely dead, and the ground was stained red with blood.

Lu Zheng came to the huge rock where the bear monster had slept before and pushed it hard.

The boulder slowly moved, revealing a spacious passage.

The passage was not dark, as there were some glowing stones embedded in the stone walls, illuminating the way.

Lu Zheng and An Jing walked into the passage and went up along the road.

The passages in Jiguana Mountain are interconnected, and it is very easy for monsters and ghosts who are not from this mountain to get lost if they enter.

Even visiting demons and ghosts need a demon to lead the way.

Originally, Lu Zheng wanted to let the yellow dog lead the way, but the other party insisted on escaping and was beaten to death by An Jing with a whip.

Lu Zheng could only walk ahead with a simple map in hand. The road was winding and twisting, and in the end even Lu Zheng didn't know where he was.

But if we keep going up, it will definitely be the right way... Lu Zheng thought.

As I walked, I heard footsteps in front of me.

The two stopped and soon saw a rat demon walking down from above.

Lu Zheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed over and captured the other party, with the long sword in his hand resting on the rat demon's neck.

The rat demon was startled by the sudden attack. He never expected that two people would appear in the mountain.

"Be quiet! If you make a sound, you will die!" Lu Zheng said in a cold voice.

The rat demon was so frightened that it trembled and nodded repeatedly, fearing that Lu Zheng would kill it with one sword.

Lu Zhengdao said, "We are here to look for your king. You lead the way. If we encounter other demons or ghosts, we should tell them that they are guests. Understand?"

Lu Zheng paused, then continued, "Of course, you can also yell and scream. We don't know what will happen to us, but you will definitely die. What do you want to choose?"

The rat demon whispered, "I'll lead the way for you."

"Let's go."

Lu Zheng pushed the rat demon and put the tip of his sword against its back.

The rat demon trembled and hurriedly led the way.

The two men and the demon were circling around in the mountain passages, heading towards a cave high up.

Soon, they came to a place guarded by demons and ghosts.

Lu Zheng put away his sword silently.

The rat demon gritted his teeth and led the way.

When several demons and ghosts saw the rat demon coming with two people, they all looked sideways.

Following Lu Zheng's instructions, the rat demon said, "These two are guests who came to visit the king. They were introduced by General Qinglin."

As he spoke, the rat demon took out a plaque, which was a token from Qinglin.

Lu Zheng had anticipated many situations before and made multiple preparations.

After seeing the token, several demons and ghosts began to believe it to some extent.

A little demon looked at Lu Zheng and the other man and couldn't help asking, "Are you humans or demons?"

Lu Zheng asked, "Your king can now transform into a human form. Do you think he is a human or a demon?"

Upon hearing this, the demons and ghosts refused to answer the question.

They just thought that Lu Zheng and the other man were successful monsters in their cultivation, so they respectfully let them pass.
