Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 208 Deception and Monster Stealing

Something is wrong!
Liu Sheng's pupils contracted as he stared at the Black Wind King, secretly becoming more vigilant.

Previously, the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Boat was destroyed by the Three Yin Jellyfish, and many humans and demons were captured and controlled by this behemoth.

Even the powerful Situ Qianhu couldn't escape it, and in the end, he joined forces with a group of humans and demons controlled by the jellyfish to attack the bear demon.

At that time, he transformed into a Yin Water Dragon, carrying Abbess Jingyue. He glanced at her briefly and then hurriedly fled for his life.

I originally thought that even if the monster didn't die, it would take a lot of time and might even cause it to miss the mango pomelo sago dessert on the island.

Unexpectedly, it arrived on time and was not far behind.

However, its current state is very strange!

Liu Sheng had had many interactions with him before and knew that although he appeared honest and simple, he was actually cunning and scheming.

But right now, it's unusually excited. Every move it makes exudes an aura of madness!

The brocade robe on his body was as bright as blood, shimmering with precious light, and tightly wrapped around him.

It was clearly a loose and elegant robe, but it looked like a shroud.

"Hahaha, I, Old Bear, went through countless hardships to escape from that Three Yin Jellyfish for this Willow Branch Dew..."

The Black Wind King slammed his staff into the ground, put his hands on his hips, and confronted the Prince of Jin, demanding an explanation:

"Your Highness, you said before that there was a way to cross the Weak Water River, reach Wanfo Island, and obtain the Willow Branch Dew."

I won't pursue the mess of your broken ship exploding halfway through its journey.

Now that I've crossed the river and landed on the island, where is what you promised me...?

As it spoke, it raised its staff, a sinister grin spreading across its bear-like face:
"You're not lying to me, are you, just trying to make fun of me?"

This guy is insane!
Could it be that he was previously injured by the Three Yin Water Mother, and the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance entered his body?
This is troublesome!
The Prince of Jin's eyes flickered. He took a deep breath and, looking at the eager Black Wind King, quickly reassured him:
"How could I possibly lie to Your Majesty? The mango nectar you need is probably in the treasure bottle on that stone platform."

The treasure bottle was over a hundred feet tall and extremely conspicuous. It could be seen from any direction once you came to the center of the island.

It cannot be ignored.

"Aquarius?"

Black Wind King rolled his eyes and turned to look behind him, only to see dozens of stone figures shedding their stone skins to reveal their flesh and blood bodies.

Pairs of eyes, filled with resentment and death, stared fiercely at it.

Further away, the four enormous guardian deities of the four realms stood as before.

Whether it was an illusion or not, they seemed to have grown even larger.

The light emanating from his body grew increasingly intense, surging and intertwining, with tiny sparks of light splashing like water droplets, resembling a four-colored curtain that enveloped the hundred-foot-tall treasure bottle.

"What are you looking at? You guys... want to fight?"

The black bear demon grinned wildly at the corpse puppets, its eyes filled with madness, its body rapidly expanding, and more and more beastly features appearing on its body.

Thick black hair grows on its body, its mouth and nose protrude forward, its fangs protrude, and it exudes a demonic aura.

Seeing that he was about to be killed, he disregarded everything, picked up his equally enlarged staff, and charged forward.

"Gan!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Sheng cursed inwardly.

Each of these corpse puppets is worth more than thirty points of spiritual essence, and he already considers them his for the taking.

Now that the bear demon has smashed more than a dozen in one go, it has wasted nearly 500 points of spiritual energy!
Moreover, judging from its increasingly frenzied and mad behavior, if it is not stopped, there probably won't be many corpse puppets left in the pit.

This is not possible!

But rushing forward rashly doesn't guarantee a victory.

It's a powerful demon!
Even though his powerful demonic energy was suppressed and could not be activated, his physical strength was still superior to Liu Sheng's.

After all, the bear-like monster is naturally thick-skinned, incredibly strong, and adept at brute force, making it perfectly suited for the current situation—essentially a "larger version of Liu Sheng."

Once it reveals its true form, its hundreds-of-foot-tall bear body will rampage through the pit, and it's estimated that it could completely clear out the area in less than a quarter of an hour, except for the four guardian envoys.

no! Absolutely not!

These are all my leeks!
Liu Sheng's eyes flickered, a thought struck him, and he quickly spoke up:
"Your Majesty, wait!"

"Ok?"

The Black Wind King paused, then turned to look at Liu Sheng, a glimmer of clarity appearing in his manic eyes:
"Brother Eagle...you're here too?"

What do you mean I'm here too?
You greeted me when you rushed in!
Is this forgetfulness?
Liu Sheng was both amused and exasperated, and a chill immediately ran down his spine.

This old bear is a powerful demon!

Previously, in front of the ruins, it fought a great battle with Dugu Ba, a Qi cultivator at the Yellow Court Realm of the Imperial Court, and its master Wu Song.

One against three, never fall behind.

Although, this was partly due to a lack of unity among the parties involved, with some going through the motions but not putting in the effort, and others taking advantage of the situation.

But this demon's strength is indeed terrifying.

At least Liu Sheng was no match for him.

Even with the Yin Water Dragon incarnation, he would still be no match for this bear demon on land.

If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, he'll probably be killed quickly.

Even such a powerful bear demon, having fallen victim to some kind of ambush, now seems to have gone mad and is even experiencing memory problems.

What exactly did it go through before?
Could it be the Three-Yin Jellyfish? Or is it some other terrifying creature we don't know about that has made its move?

These ruins contain not only the chance to ascend to heaven in one step, but also the dangers that can lead one to hell in one step.

Thinking hard!
"Yes, I'm here too."

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, trying to keep his expression natural.

Although his face is now covered in iron feathers, transformed into an eagle demon, his expression is almost impossible to discern.

"Your Majesty, do you know what those four giant stone sculptures are?"

He shifted his gaze, changed the subject, and pointed to the four radiant guardian statues, introducing them as follows:
"The one radiating azure light to the east is the Eastern Pure Karma Envoy Dragon King, and the one emitting golden light to the west is the Western Compassionate Voyage Envoy Wonderful Winged Bird..."

Liu Sheng immediately put what he had just learned to use, repeating Master Jingyue's previous remarks.

Finally, pointing to the rows of corpse puppets that were gradually approaching, he said:
"These are called corpse puppets. They were originally monks from this place. Before they died, they were sealed in stone skin by a secret method and suffered endless pain."

After death, the three souls and seven spirits are unable to escape, imprisoned within the body for countless years, their intelligence eroded, leaving only boundless resentment…

"Your Majesty, your Buddhist teachings are profound; you should not be entangled in such karmic consequences. Let me handle this!"

After saying that, he flapped his wings and became a blur, rushing to the Black Wind King. He swung his halberd, sweeping it away at the many roaring corpse puppets that charged towards him.

"what?"

The black bear demon stood frozen in place, a look of confusion on its bear face, scratching its ears vigorously with its paws, deep in thought.

No, I am devoted to Buddhism, abstain from meat, and diligently study Buddhist teachings. What do I have to do with these corpse puppets?
Could there be some cause and effect here that I am unaware of?

Forget it, I'm just an old bear, I can't figure it out, so I'll stop thinking about it.

But the Eagle Brothers, for the sake of me, Old Bear, stepped forward and willingly got involved in the karma. They truly are brothers of the same kind.

They are much more reliable than those treacherous and cunning humans!

Once I get the mango pomelo sago, I'll settle things with him properly.

The madness in Black Wind King's eyes subsided somewhat, and he couldn't help but glare at the Prince of Jin's heir.

"??"

The Prince of Jin's breath hitched, and he wondered, "What did I do wrong?"
But he was immediately drawn to the commotion in the room and looked shocked.

"boom!"
