Chapter 123 The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy

"Senior, the three-fresh chicken you requested is here."

After a while, the waiter enthusiastically brought a pot of steaming three-fresh chicken. It looked like it had been stewed for a long time and the aroma of meat was fragrant.

Cheng Long took out his chopsticks, sniffed it with his nose, and found no peculiar smell. Then he picked up another piece of chicken and sniffed it, and still smelled no peculiar smell. Only then did he feel at ease to eat it.

In the wilderness, there are often black shops that like to poison and kill people.

Although Cheng Long is very confident in his self-healing ability and is sure that he can dissolve all poisons in an instant, he should be cautious. Who knows how strong the poison in the spiritual world is.

What's more, this is an inn in the underworld, and the guests are either corpse drivers, wizards, sorcerers, or disciples of sects who have come down the mountain to gain experience.

The fact that the innkeeper can gain a foothold here is enough to prove that he is a capable person.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Cheng Long took out a gold coin and placed it on the table, then waved to the waiter who was shouting.

"Senior, have you finished your meal?"

The waiter took two steps at a time and ran over swiftly.

"Ask you something."

"Senior, please tell me."

"How far is this place from Pucheng?"

"It's just one hundred and fifty miles to the east. It's not very far."

"Is Yang Kenan the leader of the Pucheng Defense Corps?"

"Uh... I'm not sure about that. Let me ask for you..."

Just as the waiter was about to ask, the corpse-driving gentleman who had mentioned Pucheng before shouted downstairs: "Senior, I know that the Yang Kenan you mentioned is indeed a member of the Pucheng Defense Corps. I have dealt with him several times. He is quite powerful and a capable warrior."

"Thanks."

Cheng Long bowed to the corpse driver downstairs.

The man was immediately flattered and said that there was no need to thank him...

In fact, most of the corpse-driving masters commonly seen among the people are just traveling around with an ancient book passed down from their ancestors. If they are luckier, their ancestors may have joined small sects for many generations. It is hard to say how much ability these people have.

There are actually only a few Taoist corpse-driving priests like Simu who have real skills and come from a prestigious and upright family.

After all, corpse-driving is a back-breaking job that requires sleeping in the open air. Disciples of sects such as Maoshan and Longhushan would choose a wealthy town or go to the city to make a living when they go down the mountain to gain experience.

This is commonly known as demarcating territory.

If they can't find a good place to work, they will be forced to make a living by driving corpses.

Although corpse-carrying can make money, this job is really hard. Most people can't persist in it. It's better to sit around and wait for business to come, be respected, and make money while sleeping in the open air.

When Senior Brother Simu Lin Fengjiao goes to town, everyone who sees him has to call him Uncle Jiu.

……

After confirming that Pu Cheng and Cao Shaolin that the corpse-driving gentleman was talking about were the characters in the movie The Dangerous City.

Cheng Long took the change from the store owner and set off for Queya Mountain.

As the name of a mountain like Queya Mountain suggests, it is not some famous mountain. It is famous because the tiger demon who occupies the mountain and claims to be the king is too ferocious. Not only does he allow the smaller demons in the mountain to harm passers-by, he also comes down the mountain from time to time to eat people.

The Taoist priest who made a living nearby was not strong enough. Not only was he killed when he went up the mountain to eliminate the monster, but he was also turned into a ghost.

Later, several Taoists and monks entered the mountain, but the results were the same. Some were beaten to death, while others turned into ghosts and became accomplices of the tiger.

The wild mountain king of Queya Mountain has become a notorious monster. Most people choose to avoid it when they arrive at the Queya Mountain.

Only the villagers living in the local area, whose fields are all here, would be reluctant to leave.

Of course, the main reason is that most people do not have any skills and it is difficult for them to settle down elsewhere. Rather than becoming homeless and needing help from others, they would rather stay and live a mediocre life.

Xiaoniu Village is a typical example in the Queya Mountain area.

All the capable people have left.

The rest are ordinary farmers with no money and no ability.

This also led to eight people disappearing in the village within one month, but still no one was willing to take the lead in raising money to hire Taoist priests and monks from the underworld inn because they were poor!

When Cheng Long passed by Xiaoniu Village, he did not enter the village.

He only came here to kill monsters and suck their blood, and he didn't want to get any extra reward. Besides, the farmers in Xiaoniu Village were all very poor and couldn't make any money at all.

When climbing the mountain, rays of spiritual awareness are released from time to time.

Cheng Long quickly followed the clues and found a dangerous place in Queya Mountain. He could smell a fishy smell from a long distance away.

The closer you get, the stronger the stench in the air becomes.

"Damn it, this bunch of damn snake demons has made me lose all thoughts about Xiaobai and Xiaoqing."

Walking into the snake path where the snake demon had been roaming for years, Cheng Long smelled the strong fishy smell of snakes in the air. His stomach churned. If he had known this, he would not have eaten at noon.

This smell is really terrible.

The deeper they went, the thicker the smell became, forcing Cheng Long to hold his breathing.

Soon, he followed the corridor into a dark and gloomy dungeon, filled with the breath of death.

"Crack!"

I accidentally stepped on a piece of my tibia and broke it.

Cheng Long suddenly released his vast spiritual consciousness, exploring every inch of space in the cave.

It would be fine if you didn't check, but when you do, you'll be shocked.

It turned out that under his feet was a small hill formed by a mixture of piles of corpses and scattered soil from the underground.

Inside the hill, there were bones everywhere, emitting a pungent stench. The entire cave seemed to have turned into a huge cemetery, which made people shudder.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, a cold and evil aura quietly awakens.

That was a snake demon, the target of Cheng Long's hunting. Their bodies were entangled on the ancient rocks, and their scales were shining with a faint blue light under the weak light.

Suddenly, the three snake demons, two large and one small, opened their eyes, their pupils shone with a cold light, as if they could devour all life. Their bodies instantly straightened, like a taut string, full of strength. Sticky liquid flowed on their scales, making a sizzling sound and emitting a disgusting stench.

The leading snake demon raised its head high, its fangs flashing coldly, and a heart-pounding hissing sound came out of its mouth.

Its body danced in the air like a giant whip, and every unconscious swing brought with it strong gusts of wind, as if it could tear everything apart.

Its eyes were full of ferocity and terror, as if it was a beast from hell.

It sensed the presence of the enemy.

"Since he's awake, let's end this quickly..."

Cheng Long's figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared in the deepest part of the cave. He glanced at the three snake monsters coiled on the rocks, and then he tapped the ground with his toes and shot at the smallest snake monster among them like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Oh!"

His fist, like a huge rock falling from the mountain, suddenly landed on the snake demon's head.

The tiny snake demon couldn't withstand the heavy blow and its head shattered into countless pieces on the spot.

"Blood cannot be wasted."

Cheng Long's mind moved, and he sacrificed the bloodthirsty bead. The "little snake demon" kept turning its body, and the ten-meter-long snake body suddenly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Less than a second.

The body of the little snake demon and its exploded head looked as if they had been dried in the desert for months, without a trace of moisture.

This scene, although it was said to be slow, actually happened in just two seconds.

Before the snake demon couple could react, not only was their child beaten to death, but even their blood and essence were sucked out by the demon.

"Sigh~~"

"Roar..."

The snake demon couple, each over twenty meters long, roared hysterically at the same time.

"Bang bang..."

Two huge tails like stone pillars swung horizontally, like a giant's holding up the sky, smashing the stone where Cheng Long was originally standing into pieces.

The terrifying force carried by the snake demon's tail is at least over twenty tons.

Cheng Long can not only withstand them, but also kill them with his fists.

But he didn't intend to do so. There was no point in competing with the beasts in strength. He could just smash their heads or hearts and then use the bloodthirsty bead to suck their blood.

The snake cave was filled with a foul stench and he just wanted to get out quickly, not wanting to delay for even a minute.

"Ho~"

Cheng Long grabbed a piece of sharp gravel and jumped up and down like a nimble monkey. After calmly avoiding the combo of the snake demon couple, he aimed at one of them and inserted the gravel into its heart without mercy.

It is commonly known as seven inches.

"Bang bang bang..."

Snakes have extremely tenacious vitality. Even though the snake demon's heart was stabbed, its huge body was still extremely threatening. Its wildly swinging tail actually collapsed a lot of the rock walls of the underground cave.

However, when Cheng Long sacrificed the bloodthirsty bead and twisted the snake demon's body, it instantly lost all its vitality.

The Bloodthirsty Pearl is essentially a weapon, and blood-sucking is a byproduct. It can be used directly to kill people.

Cheng Long always uses it after killing someone or seriously injuring someone, mainly to save magic power.

Directly sucking the essence and blood of living people and living monsters is time-consuming and laborious, and is far less easy than sucking the essence and blood from a seriously injured person or monster after death.

"You're the only one left."

Cheng Long spent several seconds sucking dry the snake mother that was more than 20 meters long, and then controlled the bloodthirsty bead and floated towards another snake demon.

The snake demon, who had lost his children and then his spouse, was so furious that he wanted to bite Cheng Long into pieces.

But it never expected that before it could take any action, a terrible pulling force enveloped its body and pulled it into the void.

The blood and essence in the snake demon's body overflowed uncontrollably.

At this moment, it was extremely scared, staring at Cheng Long's vertical pupils, and suddenly a seductive light burst out.

In an instant, Cheng Long seemed to be in a trance, and vaguely saw a naked beauty, whose blood was being sucked by him.

But before he could see the beauty's face clearly, the scene he saw in a trance disappeared without a trace.

In the face of his enormous mental power, the illusion cast by the snake demon did not last even for a second before it was broken by him. It was really a pity.

Because the naked beauty he vaguely saw was suspected to be Mochizuki Sanjun, his Sanjun sister.

"Hiss..."

The snake demon kept struggling, but its movements became smaller and smaller, and its body became drier and drier.

About ten seconds later.

The male snake, which was nearly 30 meters long, shrank into a snake trunk less than 20 meters long. When it fell to the ground, the trunk broke into countless pieces.

At this point, all the snake monsters that had been entrenched in Queya Mountain and causing great harm to people were killed.

However, in order to prevent any mistakes, Cheng Long was patient and checked it carefully.

as predicted.

In a hidden crevice in the deepest part of the cave, he found two small snakes over two meters long. Although they were small, they were very ferocious and launched a fierce attack the moment they saw him.

Unfortunately, although these little snakes were launched quickly, they were still not faster than his hand speed.

"The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy."

"I'll take you on your way right now!"

Cheng Long suddenly exerted force with both hands, and the necks of the two little snakes were immediately crushed into a ball, turning into a pool of mud.
