on the ground.
Yang Silang silently became a wealthy man, but he still felt a little regretful—there were still some treasures in the snake demon's cave, such as the tortoise shell, pangolin scales, fanged scimitars, and nine-section whips.
However, they should all be buried under that mountain, and it's not realistic to dig them up now.
At his feet.
Ji Jinliang cried out, his body convulsed, and he woke up with white foam at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were glazed, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body. He hadn't come to his senses yet.
It seems that with the death of the snake demon, the blood and essence restriction on Ji Jinliang's body was lifted.
The other end of the spear held Su Zhixiu, the woman who had fainted from fright.
Yang Silang bent down and grasped her hand, transmitting a surge of true energy to it.
Su Zhixiu let out a long breath and woke up as well. When she saw Yang Silang, she blushed and instinctively reached for the hem of her clothes. When she caught a glimpse of the starlight outside, she stammered.
"Brother Yang... Si Lang..."
"We escaped?"
"That snake demon?"
Yang Silang pointed behind her.
"Look behind you, you shouldn't see anything."
"The four princes and Pei Shiliang joined forces and strangled the snake demon to death!"
Su Zhixiu's nervous expression disappeared, but her face turned even redder. She lowered her head and thanked him in a voice barely audible.
Yang Silang smiled and nodded, not taking it to heart, and turned his back. Facing a powerful demon two realms above him, the demon naturally had a deterrent aura towards the weak. Being so scared that he collapsed to the ground, couldn't hold his urine, and smelled a bit, was no big deal.
However, if this happened to a beautiful young lady and female martial artist, Su Zhixiu would be extremely embarrassed.
Yang Silang turned around, and Su Zhixiu hurriedly took out a jade bottle from her bosom. This was known as the Imperial Concubine's Fragrance. One drop of fragrance lasts a day, and one drop per day will leave the body with a pleasant aroma.
In her haste, she lost control and spilled the entire bottle on herself, filling the surrounding area with an overpowering fragrance.
Incidentally, Yang, Ji, and the green donkey were all made to smell incredibly fragrant, so much so that they were overly fragrant and well-marinated. As for the treasure-hunting rat, it foamed at the mouth and collapsed into Ji Jin's hair, passing out.
"Achoo!"
Ji Jinliang sneezed and finally came to his senses. He wanted to pinch his nose but didn't dare to. He frowned and thanked Yang Silang and Su Zhixiu.
Su Zhixiu's face turned even redder, and she was on the verge of tears. Now she was no longer smelly, but the extreme fragrance was just as pungent and unpleasant.
horizon.
The five people, Huang, Bai, Zhu, Wu, and Pei, flew over and landed together. They originally wanted to see which lucky person had escaped from the snake pit and inquire about the situation. However, when they were more than ten feet away, a terrifying smell that was first fragrant and then foul wafted over.
All of them, including the Mighty Horned Bull, were highly skilled cultivators; the higher their cultivation, the more acute their five senses became.
The smell before them made the four of them, Huang, Bai, Zhu, and Wu, want to avoid it and hurriedly retreat. Only Pei Shiliang gritted his teeth and walked over, after all, his half-brother had died at the hands of that snake demon, and the red flames on his head were proof of that.
They had just located this area thanks to Pei Shihou's method of crushing a jade talisman in the cave. Luckily, Yang Silang carried the two of them out and lured out the snake demon; otherwise, they would have had to go through a lot more trouble.
Pei Shiliang had to find out how his half-brother died so he could explain it to the clan when he got back.
"Is this your donkey?"
He held his breath, walked up to the group, and upon seeing the big blue donkey bowing its head and fawning over Yang Silang's trouser leg, he immediately threw his dead brother aside and blurted out the question.
The donkey demon was thrown heavily out of the whirlpool of the storm and crashed straight down on Pei Shiliang from the sky.
Pei Shiliang dodged the attack with lightning speed, but his demonic horse was smashed into mincemeat. With no other option, he captured the demon and used it as his mount. The blue donkey had a complete set of bit, saddle, and reins, and the character "Yang" was engraved on the saddle.
He knew it must be the mount of the explorers who entered the secret realm this time, lost in the wind. He had originally planned to capture the donkey, find its owner, and demand compensation for the mount, but now he was a little hesitant to say it.
Yang Silang nodded honestly and said yes.
He was truly afraid that Pei Shiliang, like that dead little devil, would want to buy a donkey whip.
Fortunately, Pei Shiliang coughed and stopped mentioning the donkey. Instead, he asked about his half-brother. He had a jade ring magic artifact in his hand that could detect whether a person was lying.
If these people were simply lucky ones who escaped from the clutches of the snake, that would be one thing; but if they killed his half-brother, then he would have to demonstrate the prestige of the Pei family.
"Please make sure you inform us carefully," he said sternly. "Ms. Su, would you like to go first?"
Su Zhixiu was taken aback, but intimidated by the Pei family's prestige, she decided to answer honestly.
"The snake demon captured us, saying it wouldn't keep idle people, and told us to each report our special skills. I became the hairdresser, Brother Ji became the storekeeper, Brother Yang became the strongman, and Brother Pei volunteered to be the bed warmer..."
Pei Shiliang's face darkened. The jade ring did not light up; Su Zhixiu was telling the truth.
He then looked at Ji Jinliang, his brows furrowed, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
As expected of someone who raises rats, Ji Jinliang was as timid as a rat, and immediately put on a mournful face.
"I don't know what happened either."
"Brother Pei was summoned into the cave by the old witch for a passionate encounter, but once inside, the witch became enraged and Brother Pei screamed as if he had been poisoned."
Pei Shiliang's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he felt as if his ears had become dirty. He turned his head blankly to look at Yang Silang.
Before he could ask, Yang Silang gave a simple and clear answer.
"After I went in, the witch's injuries flared up, and her snake tail thrashed wildly."
"Brother Pei was smashed into a pulp, and I was sent flying!"
He can swear that everything he said is true, he just omitted some key words.
Pei Shiliang waved his hand dismissively, showing absolutely no interest in listening.
It's a huge scandal that a core member of the Pei family would offer himself as a bed warmer to the old monster. It's a good thing he's dead; if he were alive, Pei Shiliang would have wanted to kill him again.
"Stop, that's enough."
"From now on, no matter who you tell, Pei Shihou must have fought to the death!"
"I, Pei Shiliang, will certainly not be shortchanged by you!"
He glared at Yang Silang, thinking to himself, "I won't let you pay for my mount."
Yang Silang's heart skipped a beat, feeling utterly bewildered. Could it be that his act of protecting Pei Shihou had been exposed? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Pei Shiliang said you can go to Xibao on your own.
He then pointed to the pile of messy hills.
"If you manage to escape, you can try to go back in."
"If we can find some of Pei Shihou's remains, my Pei family will surely repay you handsomely."
"The sudden storm swept away most of our fellow cultivators who had entered the secret realm. We still need to search for them, so I'll be leaving now."
The benefits mentioned earlier were promised by him personally, while the compensation later would be paid by the Pei family. These are two separate matters and should be clearly distinguished.
After giving his instructions, he turned and left. He met up with the Fourth Prince, who was hiding in the distance, and whispered a few words to him. He then sat on the back of the Mighty Horned Ox and rode with Wu Shuying. The group took off into the air and flew away impatiently.
There's really no need to rush things, it makes it seem like the princes are arrogant. The main thing is that the smell emanating from the three people and the donkey underground is terrifying.
These people, who have seen all sorts of grand scenes and remained calm amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, are no match for a bottle of overly strong perfume.
If the five of them didn't leave soon, they were afraid they would get infected by the smell themselves.
on the ground.
The three looked at each other, then simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, almost inwardly cheering that they had passed the test.
Su Zhixiu was afraid that her secret of wetting herself in fright would be exposed, and Ji Jinliang was worried that the other party would ask him if he had served that old witch.
"Brother Yang..." Ji Jinliang looked at Yang Silang, "What are our plans next?"
Su Zhixiu looked up at her, appearing completely obedient.
The two were carried out of the snake pit by Yang Silang, and each had committed a great embarrassment in front of his benefactor. Yang Silang was also the strongest, so naturally he took them as his leader.
Yang Silang stroked his chin and waved his hand.
"There's a lake nearby, let's get rid of the smell of blood on us first..."
"Then let the treasure-hunting rat guide the way and see if we can get back into the mountain."
He looked at the two of them and winked.
"That snake demon has many treasures; it would be best if we could dig them out."
"As for Brother Pei... let's see if we can scrape together a shovel."
Pei Shihou was chopped into mincemeat, so of course it could only be measured with a shovel. As for washing off the blood... well, actually it wasn't that bloody, it was just too fragrant. If you didn't wash it off, you'd get dizzy just standing there.
The two immediately agreed, and even Daqing kept nodding and sneezing beside them.
So the group set out together and quickly found the lake in the mountains. Perhaps because it smelled so good, even the monsters in the lake avoided it.
The three of them took turns guarding the lake, washing up, and warming themselves by the fire. Su Zhixiu glared at Ji Jinliang, who obediently moved away from the woman, not daring to look at her again.
She was shy and timid around Yang Silang. When she came out of the water, her figure was fully revealed. She even ran over to warm herself by the fire with Yang Silang and said in a coquettish voice that she was a little scared. She said that she could be called Zhixiu from now on.
Yang Silang felt a strange heat rising in his eyes as he looked at the woman's wet curves, but the thought of her sitting on the ground, soaked, immediately calmed him down.
Silent all night.
After daybreak, the three men and the rat entered again through the obscuring rocks. Although some parts collapsed, they were able to bypass them and finally entered the underground.
The bad news is that most of the cave has collapsed, and the rubble and debris have rolled down and piled up into a small mountain, burying the meat-paste-like Pei Shihou on the spot. It will probably take hundreds of people to clean it up.
Pei Shihou was at peace after his death; he could settle down in this snake pit as his final resting place.
Good news: the cave that served as the warehouse did not collapse, and the tortoise shell, pangolin scales, bone whips, fangs, and bone knives inside are all well preserved.
There are also several human-made weapons and armor.
After all, they had shared life and death.
Su Zhixiu generously stated that her storage bag had a capacity of two dou (a unit of dry measure), and after discarding some unimportant items, she could still put one and a half dou of things inside, such as bone whips and fang-shaped curved knives.
Everything else had to be carried by Daqing.
"Brother Silang, I will keep these things safe and hand them over to you safely once we leave the secret realm."
Su Zhixiu's eyes were like water as she lowered her head and spoke gently.
The person calculating the weight next to him got goosebumps all over.
