Chapter 407 The Roar of the Beast Monster
There is a fundamental difference between the Taoist priests who want to do great things and the casual cultivator who survives in the cracks, which is clearly revealed from the beginning.
Shen Ji is a Taoist priest like Feng Dongchen, hoping to use his merits to erase his disgraceful experience. He has been walking in the territory of the demon clan for many years, recognized every mountain and valley, and was familiar with every open card and secret whistle of the demon clan. But so far, he did not understand the language of the demon clan and avoided their smell.
Ouyang Luo lived in the cave for several years, and the casual cultivators communicated with each other. His understanding of demons has not decreased but increased. During the few days he met his master Hong Futian, he gained more knowledge. He has been proficient in using four or five kinds of demon dialects since he was a child, and he can even communicate directly with beast monsters, from walking posture to eating habits.
"The demon soldiers are usually in groups of five people, and our number is just right. Generally speaking, if there is a beast monster in the team, it will be more trustworthy, so I pretend to be a beast monster, and you pretend to be a half monster."
"In other words, you have to be the leader?" Xin Youtao asked immediately.
"Uh..." Ouyang Luo looked at Mu Xingqiu quickly, "We will definitely encounter other demon clans along the way, so I have to answer..."
"I have no objection, just ask." Xin Youtao said with a smile, and then added, "You won't take the opportunity to give us Qi Wushang as a gift, right?"
"No, absolutely not. I'm not an ungrateful person. Besides, my master is still in the imperial capital." Ouyang Luo waved his hands and his face turned redder.
Xin Youtao smiled and patted Ouyang Lei twice on the shoulder, saying that he was just a joke and got a good impression from the "leader".
Ouyang Luo calmed down and changed his appearance first. The methods of casual cultivators were completely different from those of mortals. They had to use many magical magic, which was different from ordinary illusions. Every organ added to the body had physical objects. In this way, even the monster whose eyes could penetrate the illusion could easily see the flaws.
Gradually, two small cow horns grew on Ouyang Luo's head, covered with hair on his face, and the skin on his body was like a road covered with gravel. There were fewer clothes, and more iron, bones, horns and feathers were used for decoration.
A pure beast monster appeared in front of several people, and the strong bloody smell emitted from his body even overwhelmed the original fishy smell in the cave.
Feng Dongchen became more and more uneasy as he looked at it, and made his last effort. He asked Shen Ji: "Didn't you arrange a few secret retreats here? I don't mind using the ones that lead directly to Pangshan, Duanliu City?"
Shen Ji shook his head, "Originally there were several passages that were safer, but after a large number of demon soldiers rushed into this place, they blocked all the passages. My original plan was to enter the land of the demons north and then go east to Wandi Mountain."
This time it was Feng Dongchen who shook his head. "I just observed it in the north, and there were demon clouds gathering there. Qi Wushang made up his mind to force us to go west."
The two Taoist priests discussed whether there was a better escape route. Ouyang Luo on the other side began to dress Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao as half-demons. The half-demons were not very different from humans, and only showed slight differences in some places, such as long ears, flipping fangs, sharp nails, etc. In addition to the demon pill and demonic energy, two pure half-demons appeared, and even their appearance did not need to be changed too much.
Mu Xingqiu is more famous among the demon clan, so he has an extra handful of thick beards. This beard is not stained, but grows into the skin through magic. If it is pulled hard, it can make people cry.
Feng Dongchen and Shen Ji did not discuss a more suitable route. They had to accept the costume of a casual cultivator. When Ouyang Lu smashed seven kinds of poisonous insects and was about to apply it behind the Taoist priest's forehead, on the chest, behind the chest, and on the front and back of the abdomen, Feng Dongchen showed an extremely disgusting expression, not even like the Xingluo Taoist priest who had been practicing for a long time. "I swear, I will never break into the territory of the demon clan in the future. How good is it to be unified in each family? I have to... I will wipe it myself, and you don't need to do it."
The Taoist robe cannot be worn, and hairpins and other objects must be properly packed. Ouyang Lu has prepared a large number of leather armor, decorations and weapons commonly used by the demon clan, which are enough for five people to use.
After everything was done, Feng Dongchen sighed, "From now until he resumed his Taoist costume, I am mute."
Shin Ji asked, "Which route are you going? Go straight to the Old Ancestor Peak?"
"I plan to go to Baizhang City first and then transfer to Laozu Peak." Mu Xun had already made detailed plans, but there were two Xinglu Taoist priests who had not had the opportunity to implement them.
"Baizhang City is now the demon city, Qi Wushang is sitting in the formation himself." Shen Ji showed a little surprise on his face, and immediately understood, "That's right, if there were really Taoist priests in Pang Shan, he might be locked in Baizhang City."
Ouyang Luo walked to the entrance of the cave. From now on, he was no longer an insignificant casual cultivator, but a guide who wanted to lead the Taoists into the heart of the demon clan, and muttered in a low voice: "I am the bull demon from the White Wolf Plain, a place of demons. I am a bull demon named Haoda. I have been wandering since I was a child, without any father or mother. I came to the Demon Mountain Pass three years ago to join the Demon Clan Holy Army..."
Feng Dongchen, who had already dressed as a half-demon, twitched slightly, wondering if it was too hasty to entrust his safety to a young casual cultivator.
Ouyang Luo looked outside the cave for a while, turned around and said, "You can put away the ban. Remember, if it is not necessary, don't cast any spells. The essence of the seven-star can't block the smell of Taoism."
The other people put away the heavy restrictions they set, Ouyang Luo raised his chest and walked out of the cave with big stances, without any shyness.
Ouyang Luo walked in the front, and Shen Ji followed him and often gave him a guide to the path. Xin Youtao and Feng Dongchen walked in the middle, and Mu Xingqiu's palace, he was a little worried. Feng Dongchen's demon tribe dressed in a little awkward, walking too elegantly, holding a spear in his hand, not resisting it on his shoulders, but using it as a crutch. If he were not wearing tattered leather armor and a bone helmet on his head, he looked like an old man who was hiking in summer.
Nearly half an hour later, the group of five people encountered the first test, and they bumped into another group of ten demon soldiers. Ouyang Luo lived up to everyone's expectations and roared before the other party. After a while, Mu Xingqiu and others realized that this was a beast monster language.
The organization of demon soldiers is loose, and does not have the strict discipline of the human army. Flags and certificates are rarely used. Special beast language is the most effective means of mutual identification. In fact, no demon believes that Taoist priests will be willing to dress up in demon soldiers and can pretend to be particularly similar.
The other four people bowed their heads and left them to Ouyang Luo to deal with them. Because they couldn't understand the evil words, they didn't know even if they were betrayed.
As soon as he saw the real demon soldier, Feng Dongchen changed his appearance, his steps were heavy, his spear was resisting his shoulders, and his mouth occasionally made a snoring sound, which was more like a demon soldier than the other three.
The first level passed smoothly. After the separation, Ouyang Luo explained to the others: "The demon soldiers are searching comprehensively. There are three strongholds nearby. The most recent one is more than a hundred miles southwest. If we want to go to Baizhang City, we must pass there."
"Have they talked about bald people?" Mu Xingqiu asked. Bald people are so unique that anyone can remember at first glance.
"I asked, they haven't heard of anyone being arrested."
Instead of leading the four people straight to the demon soldiers' stronghold in the southwest, Ouyang Lei made a big circle in the mountains, gradually figured out the search route of the demon soldiers and completely integrated into it.
That night, five people gathered with a team of hundreds of demon soldiers and rested in the wilderness. They were not allowed to make fires or walk around. They could only eat jerky meat and dry food they carried with them. However, no matter how strict the orders were, they could not stop the roar between the demon soldiers. Especially the twenty beast monsters, they had a very irritable temper and kept roaring each other. The half-demon soldiers were even more rude, as if they had to draw their swords at any time. However, according to Ouyang Luo's low voice, the beast monsters were actually talking cordially, and even joking.
There was no news about Bald and others in this team. When the demon soldiers heard that several Taoist priests were killed, they were all talking about this matter excitedly. Half demons were more accustomed to using human language, and Mu Xingqiu and others could understand it.
In fact, there was only one Taoist priest who was killed, and it was not killed by the demon soldiers. The other few burnt corpses were Taoist priests Pang Shan who had been killed for many years. The demon soldiers could not distinguish these details and attributed all the credit to the "Red Demon". This is what they called the Eyeless Giant.
Xin Youtao was confused when he heard this. Since they met with Mu Xingqiu, they had not had a detailed conversation, so they asked in a low voice: "Who is dead?"
"Zhao Zhijin, I was killed by my spell." Mu Xingqiu also answered in a very small voice, and the roar of beast monsters around him covered his voice.
Except for Feng Dongchen, who is an insider, the other three people were the first time they heard about this. They were all stunned for a moment. Shen Ji stared at Mu Xingqiu for a long time and turned his head. Xin Youtao opened his mouth and thought for a while before saying, "It was him who cast the spell first, I can testify."
Ouyang Luo shuddled at the people, and "conversed cordially" with an approaching beast monster, and drew out a knife and waved each other a few times.
After late at night, the camp finally calmed down. Feng Dongchen fell to the ground and pretended to sleep. In fact, he entered a state of concealment. Mu Xingqiu couldn't sleep and had no time to conceal his plans. He thought about his plan over and over again: disguised as a demon, it was a surprise, but after finding Yang Qingyin and other Taoist priests who arrived in advance, this move would probably not be used. Also, if there was really Taoist priest Pang Shan who survived, should he find a way to rescue them, or go back to report the situation to the Taoist throne? How should Zhao Zhijin explain the matter? Where did the bald man be taken by Shen Jiyi? What does that scream mean?
An officer of a beast monster suddenly roared, and the other beast monsters roared louder, then kicked and beaten, urging the soldiers to get up and they were about to set off overnight.
Ouyang Luo didn't know the reason, so he signaled the Taoists to get up. The five of them mixed in the chaotic team and ran in the dense forests. It was pitch black all around, with heavy steps and panting sounds in front, back, left and right.
Most beast monsters are strong in their bodies, and ordinary half demons are a little worse, not much stronger than human soldiers. They greatly dragged down the speed of Ye March, and they only marched more than ten miles until dawn.
During a short break in the morning, another team of demon soldiers gathered in, and they brought the real reason for this urgent journey: yesterday's search finally came out, and several Taoist priests were captured alive and were about to be taken to Baizhang City, the demon capital.
