Chapter 15 – The human heart is more treacherous than demons
"Seven days to cross the tribulation?"
Su Yun was slightly startled: "The whole village will turn into a dragon just to have a meal?"
The big black snake had already returned to its own reef, continuing to absorb the essence of the stars and moon, and the water in the snake stream slowly receded, returning to normal.
Su Yun and Hua Hu jumped off the reef and continued to rush towards Huqiu Village.
"Why did the whole village intercept us? What\'s going on?" Hua Hu couldn\'t help but ask.
"He is about to transform into a dragon."
Su Yun said, "But he cannot transform by himself because he has already made his body extremely hard and cannot shed his snake skin. Even if he rubs against the reef, he cannot wear down the snake skin. Therefore, he used his poisonous fangs to refine a bone sword and planned to use it to break open his skin and facilitate his transformation into a dragon."
Hua Hu finally understood: "The whole village can\'t cut his own skin, so they need to borrow our hands."
Su Yun smiled and said, "He thanked us for helping him transform and invited us to observe him transform into a dragon in the snake stream seven days later."
Hua Hu\'s eyes lit up, excitedly saying, "Observing the transformation from a snake to a dragon is a rare opportunity for us and can help us with our cultivation!"
He became more and more excited, suddenly realizing, "We can observe the whole village turning into a dragon, but Xiaoyun can\'t see it..."
He no longer cheered and said with a smile, "What\'s so good about a snake transforming into a dragon? It is not necessarily beneficial for the Crocodile Dragon Song. The whole village poisoned and killed my cousin. I\'m not interested in going."
"Go, we must go!"
Su Yun said seriously, "The transformation of the whole village into a dragon will change their form, and the dragon will be even stronger than the Crocodile Dragon. It will be even more beneficial for the Crocodile Dragon Song! This opportunity is not something that everyone can come across! Second Brother, if you want to avenge Mr. Wild Fox, you must go through the tribulation in seven days!"
Hua Hu was silent for a moment and nodded.
Unconsciously, they arrived at Huangfun Hill, where the Huangshu Wolves lived. Although it was late at night, there were fires everywhere on Huangfun Hill.
The Huangshu Wolves in Huang Village held torches and sat in a circle. The old Huangshu Wolf, the village chief, stood on a high platform, holding a torch high and shouting loudly, "That bastard has oppressed our tribe too much! He eats our people and poisons our people. We don\'t know how many brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts have died in his belly and under his poisonous fangs!"
"If he transforms into a dragon, it will be the day of our tribe\'s destruction! This time! Everyone, this time! While he is weak, let\'s take his life!"
The old village chief of Huang Village walked quickly on the high platform, shouting to the Huangshu Wolves below, "When he transforms, it will be his weakest moment! Seize the opportunity to eliminate him when he crosses the tribulation and transforms into a dragon!" n0velusb.c0m
"Eliminate!" The Huangshu Wolves below raised their torches high and shouted loudly.
The old village chief of Huang Village said in a stern voice, "If you kill him, I will spend money to hold a feast and invite the whole village to eat!"
The Huangshu Wolves below were even more excited and indignant, shouting loudly, "Whole Village Eat--"
Su Yun and Hua Hu stopped and listened for a while. They had also heard about the grudges between Huang Village and the big black snake.
Huang Village was located on Huangfun Hill, relatively close to the snake stream. For the big black snake, Huangfun Hill was also within his territory, so when he was hungry, he would catch a few Huangshu Wolves to have a sacrificial meal and fill his stomach.The yellow weasels in Huang Village naturally thought that this was a blood feud and must be retaliated.
--Of course, the news Su Yun heard was often that the big black snake had killed someone in Huang Village, and he did not know that the residents of Huang Village were not human.
In the mind of the blind child, there were people everywhere in Tianmen Town, which was very lively.
But in the eyes of outsiders, not to mention Tianmen Town, there was not a living person within a hundred miles!
However, since the Huqiu Village incident, Su Yun began to doubt the place where he lived. It was just that he had not seen it with his own eyes, so in his heart, there were still people around Tianmen Town, not demons and monsters.
"After seven days, the Snake Creek will probably be lively." He thought to himself.
"We\'re almost at Huqiu!" Hua Hu sped up and laughed.
Su Yun followed him and when they were about to reach the village entrance, Hua Hu suddenly stopped and said alertly, "There\'s someone else\'s scent!"
Su Yun immediately urged the Hong Furnace Transformation, and the Hong Furnace in his body suddenly burned, and his vitality surged like boiling water, and the vitality in his chest was surging, emitting bursts of thunder!
His muscles tightened, his spine crackled, and the blood and energy in his tendons and muscles surged and transformed into a dragon.
The dragon tattoo appeared, and his momentum soared to the extreme, ready to respond to any unexpected situation!
At this moment, Yang Sheng\'s voice came from behind him, "No wonder people say that foxes are dogs, their noses are so sensitive. Su Yun of Tianmen Town, I should call you a junior brother. I invited Mr. Shuijing to teach in a private school seven months ago."
Hua Hu quickly shouted, and Hu Buping, Qing Qiuyue, and Li Xiaofan were awakened and immediately ran out of Huqiu Village, staring at Yang Sheng as if facing a great enemy.
Yang Sheng didn\'t care and smiled, "Junior Brother killed Tong Fan, which caused me a lot of trouble, but crisis is both danger and opportunity. You killed Tong Fan, and I knew that a great opportunity had come to me. As long as I hand you over to the Tong family, I will not only have no worries about food and clothing, but I can even soar to the top and become a superior person!"
Su Yun turned around and said, "Senior Brother, have the teachers of the official school and Mr. Shuijing not taught you how to be a human being?"
Yang Sheng was taken aback and laughed, "You, a wild fox who taught yourself, are qualified to talk to me about how to be a human being?"
Su Yun said solemnly, "I have heard that after a person dies, their soul does not die and can turn into a demon when it falls on an animal. Therefore, demons may be human. I have also heard that after a demon dies, its soul may not die and can fall on a human body. Therefore, those who wear human skin may not necessarily be human."
Yang Sheng sneered, and his Hong Furnace Transformation suddenly reached the sixth level, directly reaching the third achievement of his crocodile dragon chant!
He visualized the crocodile dragon, and his vitality burst out with the sound of the crocodile dragon thunder, deafening!
His momentum became stronger and stronger, his blood and energy became more and more intense, and his vitality and surging blood formed a crocodile dragon tattoo on the surface of his skin, and then the tattoo actually left his body and formed a crocodile dragon phantom more than ten feet long behind him!
This crocodile dragon shook its head and tail, vivid and lifelike!
Hua Hu and the other three little foxes were at a loss, and Yang Sheng was too powerful. His crocodile dragon chant had already reached the third level of achievement, and his blood and energy had manifested.The crocodile dragon behind him released its Qi and blood, manifesting itself!
When he made a move, the crocodile dragon behind him would attack with him!
Even more, the crocodile dragon that manifested its Qi and blood could merge with him, causing the power of his every move to double in strength!
Yang Sheng was already beyond their ability to handle.
Su Yun slowly closed his eyes and asked, "Brother Xue, I want to ask, how did you know about Huqiu Village? Last time when we followed Mr. Shuijing, it should have been your first time here, right? It was night time and you couldn\'t have seen the geography near Xiangxu clearly."
Hua Hu was slightly startled and looked at Su Yun with suspicion.
Su Yun continued, "Mr. Shuijing told you to go back to the past direction, so you couldn\'t have known about Huqiu Village. It\'s night now, but you can immediately find Huqiu Village. This means that when Mr. Shuijing asked you to go back to the past direction, you didn\'t go."
Yang Sheng laughed.
"Younger brother is really smart. Mr. Shuijing asked us to go back first, but I met an acquaintance in the Ghost Market, Tong Fan. My family background is not prominent and I have no status. It\'s usually difficult for me to meet such aristocratic sons and daughters. This opportunity is rare, how could I give it up?"
Yang Sheng looked at Huqiu Village behind Su Yun and said with a smile, "Moreover, there are other aristocratic sons and daughters traveling with Tong Fan. So I stayed."
Su Yun asked, "What happened afterwards?"
Yang Sheng said lightly, "The aristocratic sons and daughters of the great families have seen and played with everything good. My little ability is hard to catch their attention, so I just played with them. There are monsters and demons everywhere in the Heavenly Market, and the aristocratic sons and daughters like to hunt them down, and they can also hang the righteousness of exorcising demons. So we searched around and found this place."
Hua Hu sobbed and tears flowed down her face.
Su Yun said, "Brother Xue, you have seen Mr. Wild Fox, and you also know that Mr. Shuijing respects Mr. Wild Fox very much. When you came to Huqiu Village and saw Mr. Wild Fox, you should have advised them."
"I didn\'t."
Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "I confirmed that old fox, but the aristocratic sons and daughters were in high spirits. If I spoke out to stop them, wouldn\'t I ruin their fun? I have to please them, how could I do something that would spoil the mood? They had fun, and then they took me under their wing."
Hua Hu and the three little foxes clenched their teeth and stared at him, their bodies getting tighter and tighter.
"So, not only can I not ruin the mood, but I also have to let them have fun."
Yang Sheng\'s eyes were cold, sweeping slowly over Su Yun and the few little foxes, "How can we have fun? Naturally, it\'s to have fun with them, to hunt down monsters and demons together. So I also made a move and killed a few fox demons."
He said indifferently, "Younger brother, after you killed Tong Fan and left the Ghost Market with a fox, I saw that fox and knew that you would come here. Younger brother, you will also become my gift to the Tong family when I ask for rewards!"
Before the words fell, his chest vibrated with thunder, deafening!
Yang Sheng stepped forward, his Qi and blood strong, like a crocodile dragon leaping out of the great swamp, fierce and ferocious, pouncing towards Su Yun!
"Seven days to cross the tribulation?"
Su Yun was slightly startled: "The whole village will turn into a dragon just to have a meal?"
The big black snake had already returned to its own reef, continuing to absorb the essence of the stars and moon, and the water in the snake stream slowly receded, returning to normal.
