I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

At the same time, a roar came from a distance!

Little Tai Sui is fighting fiercely with another three-eyed giant!

The three eyes on the giant's forehead emitted a faint light, suppressing the little Tai Sui's movements, making her movements slow and almost trapped!

Seeing this, Zhou Kao rushed forward without hesitation. The fire giant behind him seemed to sense the call and immediately flew away with him, with the giant flaming sword in his hand hanging behind him, ready to go!

When Zhou Kao arrived beside the giant, he thought about it and controlled the fire giant to make a "chop" gesture!

The fire giant behind him immediately swung his giant sword, and a flaming sword light broke through the air!

"Boom!!"

After a loud noise, the three-eyed giant, whose face was full of shock and fear, was cut in half by a knife!

"Hahaha!! Let this three-eyed guy cheat!! Let my husband chop him off with one blow??!!"

Little Tai Sui laughed loudly towards the sky, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of excitement.

Leaving Yangzhou Prefecture and heading west for about 600 miles on the official road, you will reach Jinling Prefecture on the other side of the Yuwangzhou River.

Zhou Kao had only heard of this place and had never been there in person.

It is said to be a land of fish and rice, rich in pigeons, lotus roots, prosperous people and beautiful scenery.

As for the rest of the details, he knew very little.

However, Zhang Mingdao often mentioned Jinling Prefecture, and his words showed a sense of importance.

It turned out that Zhang Mingdao's father intended to make a big splash here and turn it into a new center of power.

As for why Yuwangzhou was chosen over Jinling Prefecture, Zhou Kao had some doubts, but he never delved into it.

Perhaps in the eyes of those shrewd and calculating people, there is something else hidden in Jinling Mansion.

After leaving the popular place, the post stations along the way gradually became sparse, and many of them were in ruins, obviously having been abandoned for a long time.

There is no doubt that this is exactly the same situation as in Qiantang County.

The country's fortunes declined and evil spirits gradually arose.

Those monsters that were originally lurking in the mountains and forests and dared not act rashly are now showing up and taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

What they didn’t dare to do in the past, they can now do as they please as long as humans are unable to drive them away. They can even make purchases for free, which can be considered a small “benefit” brought to them by the decline of the country’s fortunes.

When Zhou Kao and his party arrived at a place called "Luoxian Mountain", a spontaneously formed market suddenly appeared before their eyes.

It is not large in scale, but well-organized, with traces of recent construction visible everywhere.

It doesn’t seem to be that busy during the day, but when the sun sets and night falls, the whole market becomes really lively.

The lights came on and the noise was everywhere, just like fireworks in the human world, but with a strange and strange atmosphere.

"Yu Niang, can Yi Qiba Qisiwu turn into a demon?"

Zhou Kao looked at the monsters wandering around, his tone full of amazement:

"I never thought that there would be such a magical secret method in the world."

Ever since he realized that his presence was too dazzling in the eyes of some "people", and even just his appearance was enough to scare them to death, he began to think about disguising himself.

"I want to blend in and see what these demons are up to."

He said to Yu Niang:

"Do you have any idea to let me walk around this market as a demon?"

Yu Niang pondered for a moment, and combined with the magical properties of the dragon horse under her, she finally came up with a clever idea.

It is a transformation technique that originated from strange stories and legends. By using the original energy of certain strange beasts, one can temporarily transform into a corresponding form.

"Change!!"

With a low roar, the dragon horse turned into a stream of light and merged into Zhou Kao's chest.

In an instant, his eyes suddenly glowed golden, and his pupils stood upright like a dragon;

Dense scales appear on the surface of the skin and quickly spread over the body;

There are flowing dragon whiskers on the chin, thick black hair on the neck, and fangs slightly exposed at the corners of the mouth;

A thin cloud of mist surged from his body, accompanied by the sound of slight thunder. Lightning flashed faintly in the air, as thin as a snake, flickering...

It looks like a human but not a human, like a dragon but not a dragon.

At this moment, Zhou Kao has transformed into a dragon!

At the same time, beside a mountain road leading to the dark mountains in the distance, two figures suddenly fell from the sky.

In the dim moonlight, one could vaguely see a tall figure in the middle, at least three meters tall.

Although he is wearing a scholar's robe, his muscles are clearly defined underneath and he is full of primitive explosive power. He is definitely not a weak scholar.

But what attracted the most attention was his face.

Although his facial features still had a human outline, they had already transformed into a dragon: tough skin embedded with dragon scales, majestic light flashing in his golden vertical pupils, sharp dragon teeth at the corners of his mouth, and flowing green hair and beard.

What was even more suffocating was the faint pressure that emanated from him, a unique aura of a powerful life form.

A single glance would instinctively fill any mortal with awe.

My first reaction would never be to think that he was a human.

Instead, they would guess that this was either a demon or some kind of alien!

Yu Niang also transformed into a dragon girl, holding the little Tai Sui in her arms and snuggling beside Zhou Kao.

Chapter 174 The Book-Eating Old Man

This place is called "Xunxian Town". It is located at the junction of Yangzhou and Yuwangzhou. There were many merchants and travelers in the past, and it was quite prosperous in the past.

Unfortunately, a natural disaster struck this area a few months ago, and then there were demons passing through, causing the residents to flee.

If it were just this, it would be fine, as there would always be refugees willing to relocate and rebuild.

However, since that night, strange things have occurred frequently in the town.

Anyone who stayed there for a few days would die suddenly in strange circumstances, and no one knew the reason.

Over time, the town became completely deserted and became a real ghost town.

Until a group of monsters quietly moved in and used some unknown means to eliminate all the evil spirits in the town.

The "Xunxian Market" quietly emerged.

At the same time, Zhou Kao also saw a large number of "colleagues".

Coming from all directions, they exist in various forms.

There are some that look like humans, but they only account for half of them.

The rest are not human-shaped.

Some were bare-breasted, holding weapons, and wearing a few rags as clothing;

Some have twisted limbs, roaring and moving forward, looking like evil spirits;

Some carry red lanterns, wear red wedding gowns, and walk with flowers, looking like strange spirits;

There was also a woman with disheveled hair, a beautiful head, and a snake tail swaying gently in the night wind...

A strange demon, half human, half dragon, handsome and weird, with green hair and beard, and golden eyes full of arrogance, walked out slowly with a dragon girl, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

In the center of the market, a monster with a pig's head and a human body was doing butcher business.

He held a sharpening rod in one hand and a meat cleaver in the other, repeatedly wiping the blade while shouting deafeningly:

"Fresh beef and mutton! They're so cheap!"

A customer with a body the size of a fish came up and asked, "How much is the beef?"

"Twenty cents per pound."

"So expensive? Wasn't it fifteen cents at the beginning?"

"Oh my brother, where can I find beef now?! You think it's expensive, and I think it's too expensive too! All the people have left, and no one even raises oxen for farming. Beef is so rare now!"

"So... is there any pork?"

“…Sorry, sorry…”

The fish-headed man suddenly realized that he had asked the wrong person, his face full of embarrassment, and he apologized repeatedly.

The pig-headed butcher just smiled and was not angry.

Finally, the fish-headed man weighed some mutton, picked it up in his hand, turned around and ran towards the forest.

Zhou Kao stood aside, watching in amazement.

He was really enlightened.

There is actually a market for monsters here!

If it continues to develop for a long time, it might really form a demon territory, or even build a city belonging to the demon clan.

The market became more and more lively, with all kinds of monsters and elves coming in droves.

There are those who can fly in the sky and hide in the ground, those who can walk in the air, and even those who can blow bubbles and float in the air like fish spirits, with clear laughter, just like a fairyland in a dream.

I also heard an old demon claim that fresh goods from the Western world would be sold in this market.

And at this moment, Zhou Kao saw it with his own eyes.

He and Yu Niang stood in front of a street stall and saw barbecue grills set up on the open space. The charcoal fire was rising and the aroma was so strong that it almost made people swallow their own tongues.

Without looking at the contents, just smelling the smell, it is indeed extremely tempting. Even Zhou Kao, who is usually not good at talking, couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.

The "ingredients" being roasted were actually humanoid creatures.

Humanoid, yes, but definitely not human.

The creatures were skewered on iron sticks, dripping with grease and making sizzling sounds.

Their bodies are half human, half fish, their skin has a strange silver-blue luster, their mouths are full of sharp teeth, and they look ferocious.

The most surprising thing is that even when they are being grilled, sprinkled with spices and brushed with sauce from time to time, the wailing sounds of these "weird creatures" are as melodious and moving as songs, with a strange magic that seems to be able to captivate people.

Even the old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years had never seen such a scene.

They were all amazed and praised the items on the stalls as novel and interesting.

There were a few big monsters with impatient tempers who could no longer contain themselves. They pushed away the small monster servants who were in charge of the barbecue, picked up the barbecue poles themselves, swung their arms and flipped and twisted them violently, wishing they could turn the iron skewers into Hot Wheels, just to taste this exotic delicacy as soon as possible!

Outside the group of monsters, Zhou Kao looked at this strange scene with a rather weird expression.

"These mermaids...could they be the Sirens from Western legends?"

He couldn't help but frown, feeling a little disgusted. It was really hard for him to imagine how a barbecue made up of this combination of things could be delicious.

This is roughly what is called:

You can’t judge a book by its cover, right???

……

Zhou Kao and Yu Niang continued to stroll around the monster market.

Just as he had expected, although his transformation into a dragon was still somewhat eye-catching, it was not out of place in this place where demons gathered.

Those monster stall owners thought he was just a "new monster" who had just arrived, and they enthusiastically promoted their goods without realizing his true identity.

Zhou Kao spent nearly half an hour walking through most of the market, leaving only those shops on both sides that only powerful monsters would dare to set foot in.

Those places were filled with powerful people and strange creatures, so he chose to ignore them for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, he walked to a very special stall.

This stall can be said to be one of the most popular ones in the entire market.

It covers a large area and is packed with customers.

And the stall owner was a strange being.

Right in the center of the market, there stands a huge half-open bamboo scroll, old and mottled, emitting a faint scent of ink and spiritual light.

There were already more than a dozen guests gathered in front of the bamboo slips, including monks and demons.

In front of them stood an old man in Confucian robes.
