I just shook off the water droplets, and those things disappeared in a haphazard way; roughly; roughly. At the same time, the romance continued to shake, and after a short while, the chickens, ducks, and geese were completely wiped out by the stream. Even if the duck flew up, it couldn't escape my water droplet attack, because they were just wild ducks and couldn't fly too high like birds to freely soar in the sky. So, I could easily drench them as they couldn't fly too high, and you can imagine the result - they were the first to be eliminated by me, faster than the chickens and geese on the land.
Without these obstacles, we could walk straight to this tree. But as soon as we approached the tree, I was stopped by the romance. He frowned and said, "Miss Yuan, don't you feel something is wrong here? When I was up the tree just now, I felt clearer and sensed that there was something inside the trunk of the tree. It seems like that thing is directing those chickens, ducks, and geese, as if it's trying to stop us from entering the village."
"Is that so? Then let's find something to pry open this tree trunk and see what's going on. Could it be another oil snake spirit?" I looked around and planned to find something to pry the tree trunk.
"It shouldn't be an oil snake spirit. It probably can't control domestic fowl. I think it might be a bird demon like a peacock spirit. Luckily, I brought a dagger. But we'll have to see if it gives us trouble when I approach it. If it doesn't bother us, we'll ignore the matter. If it does, then don't blame us for not being polite. After all, the rule here is not to use any external force, only the most primitive physical strength. The two of us against one monster, we should be able to handle it." Yanqing deliberately spoke loudly, intending to make whatever was inside fear us.
I didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, mocking laughter immediately came from the tree hollow. The voice was rough and unpleasant, like the sound of long nails scratching a wooden board, making people's teeth ache. After laughing for a long time, the voice became rough again and said, "Human beings, how impolite. How can you be impolite? This Taoist priest, how could he be afraid of a bunch of insignificant human beings? If it weren't for the rules here not allowing the use of external force, the two of you would have been killed by This Taoist priest in minutes. Do you think you can pass safely just because you broke This Taoist priest's reared corpse-eating beasts? What a joke."
"Oh, is that so? Then go ahead and use all your tricks. This King is not afraid." This time, Yanqing referred to himself as "This King," not "me," and his eyes instantly became sharp, showing the posture of a superior. At the same time, Yanqing drew a dagger and began to dig into the tree trunk.
But after waiting for half a day, Yanqing almost dug open the tree trunk, and that so-called "Taoist" didn't say another word. At this moment, only the sound of the tree being pierced could be heard. Although Yanqing didn't have the support of "Gui Li," his own martial strength was high. In no time, he had dug a hole in the tree trunk.
Then, a burst of black smoke drifted by, and a monster that looked like an eagle appeared from inside, but it was clearly a soul without a physical body.
"Gaga... Thank you. King of the Underworld is not an adult. Let This Taoist priest out. This Taoist priest should thank King of the Underworld is not an adult., but the human beings by your side once killed This Taoist priest who had been raised with great effort and had collected essence for This Taoist priest and turned blood corpse into a creature with wisdom, which took a hundred years before This Taoist priest was trapped here. Letting human beings destroy it like this, This Taoist priest will not be able to calm the anger in his heart without tearing her to pieces today. So This Taoist priest will not fight with King of the Underworld is not an adult. today. This Taoist priest only wants the life of human beings, please do not make it difficult for This Taoist priest." After saying this, without waiting for a response, he opened his mouth wide and was about to swallow me.
Damn, she's not human after all. I thought she was a human Taoist priest, calling herself This Taoist priest, but it turns out she's a creature like a vulture. That thing is very cruel. Even without the blessing of Gui Li, its combat power is very high. At that time, I had to quickly dodge behind Yanqing. Fortunately, my body is quite agile, otherwise I would have been dead.
Something like a vulture saw me and dodged, its eyes widened, then it seemed very happy and started that creepy laugh again: "Gaga... I didn't expect you humans to be so agile. It's okay, this Taoist priest likes food like you. Gaga... This Taoist priest believes the King of the Underworld won't interfere too much. There are so many women in the world, no need to love just one, Gaga..."
"Vulture demon, what nonsense are you talking? Let me tell you, she is the King's sister-in-law. If you dare to hurt her, the King will make you scatter. Although I can't use Gui Li here, my blood can still deal with you." With that, Yanqing directly used a dagger to cut open the artery on his wrist, and blood sprayed out instantly. Yanqing didn't care and sprayed a stream of blood directly onto the vulture demon's form.
"Ah... King of the Underworld is not an adult. Spare me, This Taoist priest doesn't know she is Dark Lord's woman, This Taoist priest was wrong, This Taoist priest was wrong, please spare This Taoist priest, This Taoist priest is willing to continue being trapped here, never to leave for eternity," the vulture demon pleaded amidst the screams.
Damn, this guy is really a vulture, why is he also called a demon? Could it be a hybrid? Neither I nor the romance paid any attention to the vulture's screams, but I couldn't help but wonder about his background.
Emotion seemed to sense my confusion, leisurely enjoying the Vulture demon's wails. She glanced at me with a sly smile and said, "Miss Yuan, you seem lost in thought. I bet you're wondering why I call him the Vulture demon, right?"
"Yeah, Emotion, you know me so well. Then you must know why he's called that, right?" I chuckled awkwardly. My curiosity always gets the best of me. Curiosity can lead to two outcomes, one great and one terrible. Unfortunately, the probability of the terrible outcome is usually higher. But I just can't contain my curiosity. Sigh, it's frustrating.
"Um, I know some. It is said that he is a combination of human beings and vulture, extremely intelligent, with an exceptional memory for books. Unfortunately, he is too arrogant and jealous, which makes him easily provoke retaliation. Later, I don't know which powerful figure he offended, and was sealed in a hidden place. I didn't expect it to be here, and this guy can still cultivate and capture souls here. It's really amazing. However, to prevent future troubles, we still need to find his bones in this tree and burn them," Yanqing explained.
The Vulture demon, who was already in a miserable state, immediately let out a mournful cry when he heard that we were going to burn his bones. His soul quickly disappeared, without even caring to stop his bleeding. Yanqing's face changed, and he immediately reached into the tree hole, dripping a lot of blood into it before stopping. Now Yanqing's face instantly turned pale. It must have been a loss to lose so much blood just now.
Upon seeing this, I quickly extended my hand and said to Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, quickly drink some of my blood. Otherwise, you've lost so much blood, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. I'm still counting on you to protect us safely to the old well. But you have to cut yourself with the knife, I dare not do it myself."
"No need, I'm fine. My body is strong," Miss Yuan said. "Could you please help me dig out the things in the tree hole now? We need to burn his bones as soon as possible, otherwise he may come back to life. I just don't know how long it will take." Yuanqing said wearily.
"Yanqing, don't be polite with me. If you don't suck, I won't take it." I would resort to being unreasonable to make Yanqing drink some of my blood.
Seeing my serious look, Yanqing reluctantly used the tip of the knife to make a small cut on my finger, then squeezed two drops onto the tip of the knife, put it in his mouth, swallowed, and said to me, "Enough, I just lost a little blood, I don't need too much spirit blood to replenish, two drops are enough."
I just wanted to advise him to put some drops, but I saw that his complexion had indeed improved, and it was no different from when he first arrived. I felt relieved and put my mind at ease, because the rules here do not allow the use of Gui Li. He couldn't deceive me with false emotions, so I nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go dig the tree hole."
But looking at the mouth of the tree hole, it seemed a bit small. Seeing this, I hurried forward to pierce the tree trunk, but was stopped and told to bandage the wound on my wrist first. Although there was no disinfectant, it was better to bandage it than not.
I didn't expect Yanqing to suddenly raise her wrist in front of me and ask me to look. When I looked, I realized that the wound was almost healed. Oh, I forgot, my blood seems to have healing properties. It seems that I healed the vulva. Seeing this, I didn't argue with Yanqing and let her go and stab the tree hole. In the end, I shamelessly added, "Yanqing, after digging, you might as well take out the vulture demon's bones inside, hehe..."
"Okay, Miss Yuan, then you find some dry wood and some flammable materials. We'll need to start a fire by friction later," Yanqing readily agreed.
I agreed and started picking up some dry branches and dried grass from the ground, because I had searched online for how to start a fire by drilling wood. After I collected these, Yanqing also brought out the bones of the vulture demon. It turned out to be a creature that was half human and half beast, with a vulture head and a pair of wings, truly a hybrid.
While I was carefully studying the bones of the vulture demon, Yanqing had already started a fire by drilling wood. I was surprised to find out that he was actually more skilled than me. I had only talked about it on paper and had never actually drilled wood to start a fire. He had practical experience and was quite proficient. Otherwise, it would have been good if that thing could be used in a minute, and I still had to observe it very carefully.
Niece, are you really the ghost king in romantic fiction? Why do you know how to make fire with wood like human beings did in ancient times, and why are you so skilled at it? This doesn't make sense. Aren't ghosts supposed to be afraid of fire? Could it be that as the ghost king, you actually like fire? Even though I am also the ghost king, I am actually in the body of a human being and cannot feel the true feelings of the real ghost king.
