"Hurry, hurry, deal with it quickly, otherwise it will not be fresh anymore."
"Divide the work, don't mess around. The more chaotic the situation, the more time wasted!"
"Those of you who perform poorly on this expedition, don't blame your fellow disciples for being ruthless. Go to the logistics team and boil water, sharpen knives, and cook rice!"
Chu Wuji thought that the disciples of Xiaoyao Valley, after experiencing a fierce battle with the dragon, should be exhausted and tired. The senior leader stepped forward to comfort and treat the injured fellow disciples, and then gave a speech to summarize the results of the battle.
The result is that it is just like slaughtering pigs during Chinese New Year!
Bai Sujin and Chu Wuji had traveled to many rural villages and had a strong sense of déjà vu for this scene. She said:
"If there were firecrackers set off nearby, it would have the atmosphere of slaughtering pigs during the Chinese New Year..."
Taoist Jiuwu had previously complained that the disciples of Xiaoyao Valley were very "gluttonous", but now she was standing by, holding a bowl and waiting for the food to be served, not considering herself an outsider at all.
With a solemn expression, she inquired about the location of Xiaoyao Valley's wine cellar and said righteously:
"As an elder of the Divine Sky Sect, I am considered half your senior. I won't take advantage of you. You work hard in the kitchen, and I will help carry the wine!"
Miss Yang He was unaware of the situation and did not understand the virtues of this senior, so she actually told Taoist Jiuwu where the wine was brewed and stored.
Ning Xianzhi grabbed his friend in time and reminded him:
"Jiujiu, please don't ruin the reputation of the Divine Sky Sect. Fellow Taoists outside will mistakenly think that the Divine Sky Sect is full of drunkards."
Chu Wuji was walking in and out of the cafeteria to relax, and he saw Senior Zhuang Bei boiling water.
This senior was dressed in a white shirt and sword robe, standing in front of the boiler, controlling the fire and boiling water, without forgetting to take care of his hairstyle and hat.
"Hey, Senior Zhuang Bei, why are you being asked to boil water?" Chu Wuji was a little surprised.
Aren't people with poor performance the ones who come to do logistics? This senior has profound cultivation, why does he end up being treated like this? Even the Wind Chasing Swordsman is out there scraping dragon scales.
"I was slightly injured, so that counts as a point deduction, but I did it on purpose. I had to set an example for my fellow apprentices and warn them to cherish their lives!"
Although his speaking style was a bit pretentious, it seemed that he had taken on more direct pressure for his fellow Taoists in the battle against the dragon.
Now I come to the logistics department to boil water so that I can have some free time to practice qigong and heal my injuries.
Chu Wuji stopped joking about his injuries and asked about their battle against the dragon downstream.
Senior Zhuang Bei was worried about the boredom of boiling water, and was very happy to share his heroic performance in the battle with the dragon!
"...In this battle, there are indeed undercurrents! The danger is the dragon on the surface, and in the dark, there are also the mysterious appearances of demonic monsters!"
"?"
Chu Wuji listened attentively for a while and found that the demon monster mentioned by Senior Zhuang Bei was none other than the three people who wiped out the entire Jintai Temple.
They actually showed up in the downstream area, slew a dragon, and left?!
Although I knew that these three people should not have gone far, I didn't expect them to be so close.
There was so much commotion in the Tiannu River Basin at the time, they should have known about the battle situation in Diaolongkou, and maybe even spied on it secretly...
Unfortunately, Senior Zhuang Bei did not know more information. The sword cultivators were focused on fighting the dragon at the time. They were more wary of the unexpected demon monster and did not dare to try to make contact with him.
Even if we see them appear and leave mysteriously, there is no way to catch up with them to confirm their motives.
However, Senior Zhuang Bei mentioned the magic skills of those three people.
"The Hehuan Sect's magic is very easy to recognize. Even from a great distance, one can feel the enchanting power of the Hehuan technique. It has a certain effect on the mind."
"That beautiful woman in a purple dress, with a face from the Western Regions, holding a strange water bead in her hand."
"As for the woman in the black dress, she was wearing a veil, and her demonic influence was so severe that it couldn't be hidden. She was suspected to be a demon cultivator, but when she attacked, she had black snakes and poisonous scorpions to help her. I've never heard of that before!"
Chu Wuji memorized it and silently repeated the key information: "Demon cultivator, black snake and poisonous scorpion?"
In the scene of the massacre at Jintai Temple, the "Hei Sujin" did not use the black snake scorpion. At that time, she was just holding a snake-belly sword and cutting down the enemies. No monk could be her opponent, and they probably couldn't force her to use this method.
In the final analysis, the combat power of Jintai Temple is only good at attacking civilians. The few monks with magic spells are just so-so. In the monastic sects, they are at best ordinary disciples holding magic weapons.
But...why did it have to be the scorpion and the black snake?
Chu Wuji is not very familiar with black snakes. He only recognizes white snakes and green snakes, but he has a deep impression of scorpions!
Wasn't it the Scorpion Demon who stole the body of merit and virtue and caused him to worry for months? But she had already died in the golden thunder disaster in the Black Car Kingdom...
For ordinary thunder tribulations, those who are going through them can still feel that "this is a test from God to me."
But when the Golden Lightning Tribulation comes, the person undergoing it will only have one feeling left: "Oh no, God is going to strike me to death!"
However, the opportunities after the catastrophe were indeed huge. The two foals rubbed a little breath on the edge and directly transformed half into human form; Fu Guanyin's holy fire bead was even struck by the breath of thunder and turned into a thunder and fire bead.
However, these opportunities did not belong to the Scorpion Spirit. She had triggered the golden thunderstorm, dragging down the dirty tricks of the Black Car Kingdom along with her. With her strength, there was no possibility of her surviving.
The golden lightning catastrophe targeted her.
Chu Wuji wasn't sure if this was a coincidence, but there was no need to speculate on his own. He could just ask the elders outside.
"Senior Zhuang Bei, please boil the water slowly. I'll go out and wait for dinner to be served."
Chapter 249 The elder snake demon is about to transform into a dragon
Bai Sujin and her sister Qingshe did not walk around casually. They sat on the chairs nearby, drinking tea and chatting to avoid causing trouble.
Bai Sujin faced the fresh scenery of distant mountains in Xiaoyao Valley, but her eyes were lost in thought. The beautiful scenery could not be reflected in her eyes, and she seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
Seeing this, Aunt Green Snake asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Fighting with that dragon girl, it's rare to encounter an opponent of equal strength. I feel like I'm not strong enough..."
Bai Sujin's words were a bit self-deprecating. Flood dragons possessed inherent advantages. When their realms were comparable, they could employ various methods to suppress external enemies. The fact that the two sisters hadn't fallen into a significant disadvantage when dealing with the Dragon Palace Princess was sufficient.
It just sounds like that, but in Bai Sujin's eyes, it is a hidden danger.
If the Dragon King of the Nu River had forced himself to wake up from his retreat and join the battle, the situation would have been completely reversed. The Dragon King would have restored the water flow of the rivers and the blessings of the aquatic creatures would have been restored, and the immortal disciples would have had a much harder time dealing with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The room for maneuver for this pair of great demon sisters suddenly became much smaller. Facing a Dragon King with the home advantage, the time they can hold him back will become limited.
And this is by no means an unfounded worry. According to the inside story mentioned by the Crane Immortal, the Dragon King of the Nu River is in a critical situation of lifespan and is most likely to go crazy!
Aunt Green Snake turned the teacup on the table and said:
"There's no point in worrying about this kind of thing. Just find a quiet place and continue your secluded practice."
Chu Wuji walked over at this time and just heard the two elders suffering from "fire phobia".
Sure enough, having a gentle temperament and not being belligerent does not mean that one will neglect one's own cultivation!
Chu Wuji thought that the White Snake Mother was just expressing her concern, but a thoughtful expression of planning emerged on her dignified and mature face. It seemed that she was not only worried, but was already thinking about a plan.
"Mother, could it be that besides practicing properly, you and my aunt have other ways to quickly improve your cultivation? Let me guess, are you planning to refine a powerful magic weapon?"
Bai Sujin pulled her son to sit beside her. Aunt Qingshe originally sat opposite her sister, but now she moved next to her younger generation and got closer.
"Magic weapons take too long to acquire. Many great demons and their predecessors spent their entire lives slowly cultivating their magical weapons."
"What's the mother's plan?"
"The dragon turns into a dragon." Aunt Green Snake answered for her.
She was just guessing, but when she saw that her sister White Snake did not refute it, she knew she was right.
Transcending into a beast is the ultimate goal of all zombie drought demons.
Transcendence and becoming a dragon is indeed a path that snake demons can take. Many tribes also have the ultimate goal of becoming dragons, such as the carp and loach that fell into dragon form.
Including the big fat dragon encountered earlier in Jieshi City. He must have been a cunning snake in the past, gradually turning into a python and then a dragon, but he lost his courage at the step of "transforming from a dragon" and fell into the power, wealth and comfort of Jieshi City.
In the end, he stopped at "Jiao" and failed to really add another "dragon" to himself, which is also a great wonder.
Judging from their cultivation, the sisters White Snake and Green Snake could have taken this path of advancement long ago, but they had no desire to travel the rivers and seas, nor were they willing to leave their peaceful lives, so they devoted themselves to cultivation in this secluded corner.
Anyway, as long as they don't take the path of transcendence, and they won't be stuck in the bottleneck of their cultivation, they can just continue to practice in their snake form.
After Chu Wuji understood the inside story, he blinked in surprise, looked at his two elders, and said with a smile:
"Then, won't one of you become a white dragon and the other a blue dragon?"
Auntie Qing Snake helped correct her, saying very professionally, "Wrong, it's a white dragon, not a white dragon. The two cannot be confused!"
"It's so complicated. After turning into a dragon, are there any other divisions?" Chu Wuji felt dizzy.
Bai Sujin didn't talk about such far-fetched things. She pulled their thoughts back to reality and said:
"I transformed from a Jiao into a dragon only to acquire the magical powers of a Jiao dragon. I'm still used to my current snake form... and I'm worried Wuji won't be able to adapt."
Yun Qingying was holding the Sky Fox Goddess and watching the sword cultivators "killing pigs", but her attention was focused on the conversation with Chu Wuzhi. She admired Mrs. Bai's character and state of mind a little.
The wealthy ladies of the Lihuo capital, when they got a piece of precious jewelry or a bracelet carved by a famous craftsman, would eagerly hold a banquet and show off in front of other ladies, for fear that others would not know how unique their jewelry was and how valuable they were.
Mrs. Bai has planned to transform into a dragon, but she still wants to continue to appear in the form of a snake in the future.
In the eyes of other monsters, this is just burying one's own identity!
I am already a dragon, how can I be called a snake?
Chu Wuji hadn't yet fully understood the snake clan's advancement and transcendence. He was completely bewildered, looking at the beautiful white snake mother with a smile in his eyes:
"What's there to adapt to? You're still my mother and aunt. I'm just worried about losing your merits if you leave."
He was most worried about this, as it could easily lead to a strained relationship with the immortal forces.
The corners of the White Snake Lady's lips curled up gently, and she shook her head to explain:
"No, just be careful along the coast. After we transform from a dragon into a dragon, the dragon girl will be more obedient when she helps you practice in the future."
Then again, our elders have already transformed from dragons, so is there any need to ask a dragon girl for help?
Auntie Qing Snake added: "Zuo Jiao can actually control the wind and waves. Those dragons are deliberately causing damage along the way to vent their excitement."
"That's good!"
Chu Wuji immediately felt relieved. He noticed that Goddess Tianhu and Yun Qingying had been paying attention to his conversation, so he simply waved to Yun Qingying to come over and sit down.
It just so happens that regarding the matter of the Scorpion Demon, I can ask the Fox Queen to consult with me and hear her thoughts.
He poured a cup of tea for each of them and said:
"Just now, I was in the kitchen and heard that the sword cultivators encountered three people from Jintai Temple while fighting the dragon downstream..."
The Sky Fox Queen had been helping him hunt down the Scorpion Spirit throughout the entire process, so she was naturally more familiar with it. When Snow Fox heard the details of "Hei Su Jin" mentioned by Chu Wuji, she was stunned.
The white snake and the green snake also showed an expression of disbelief.
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?" Aunt Qingshe didn't quite believe it, but her tone was not very firm. "Could it be that the woman in the black robe is not pretending to be my sister, but she looks like that?"
There's a black snake and a scorpion, how could they be together by such a coincidence?
Even the demon cultivators are not so chaotic, they only have one true body.
"The Scorpion Demon's strength should not be very strong. There is no way he can survive the last thunder." Bai Sujin's expression was complicated.
Goddess Tianhu was also puzzled. She had never heard of such a thing. Unfortunately, she did not enter the Black Car Country to confirm it at that time. She was just in a hurry to go back to Huotang City to take a bath.
Chu Wuji didn't dwell on it too much and stopped the discussion directly.
If there is no result, then there is no result. He just mentioned this information to his elders. There is no need to dwell on it.
Following the direction he had previously determined, starting from Fu Guanyin, he would sooner or later run into the three strange people.
What would be the point of confirming it with that "Hei Sujin" in person?
*
Skywrath Dragon Palace,
The location of this dragon palace is like a holy place of immortals. It seems to be underwater, and when you look up, you can see the surging river. However, ordinary mortals, no matter how good they are at swimming, cannot find it by diving into the bottom of the river.
Even though the previous battle was raging and the river water level dropped by half, the interior of the Dragon Palace was not greatly affected.
When the eldest princess, the Dragon Girl, returned to the Dragon Palace, the maids and attendants of the water tribe immediately swarmed up to her and asked about her safety.
The water people were shocked and puzzled. At that time, Xuanyin Star Lord was ambushed and besieged by many immortal monks, so how could he escape successfully?
In the Dragon Palace, the dragon clan has the highest status, and the water clan servants dare not ask about the ins and outs of the matter.
He Li, the commander of the water tribe, heard the news of the princess's safe return and rushed over immediately:
"Xuan Yin Xingjun, have you escaped the siege of those treacherous beasts? I was just about to petition the Dragon King to come out and suppress these disrespectful people!"
The dragon girl's face was surprisingly calm, with a deep light flashing in her eyes. She said:
