145|Bronze Furnace Opening 3
by Jessie@AFNCCXie Ren only felt layers of violent fluctuations coming from all directions, and an indescribably strange odor filled the air.
Those yellow talismans, they all exploded!
The demons and devils that put them on their heads, the solid heads were blown apart, splattering blood and flesh, and the hollow ones were directly blown out of shape, drifting away in black smoke. In front of the mountain wall, there were cries of ghosts and wolves. Hua Cheng let go of his hand covering Xie Ren’s ear, seemingly unaffected. Xie Ren stood up, slightly alarmed. Those yellow talismans he had just read one by one, they were indeed the most common ghost repelling talismans, how could they have such horrifying effects?
At this time, the sky of black dust in the air leisurely floating down a piece of shredded paper, Xie Ren eyes and hands quickly captured, take a look in front of his eyes, instantly clear, said: “good cunning.”
This is a corner of a yellow talisman crumbs, if not broken, it is impossible to see, it actually has two layers!
A layer of paper covered the top, drawing the most ordinary spells, and a layer of very thin, very thin paper, although the eyes have been burned to see what was drawn, but needless to say, must be the most vicious, the most powerful spells.
Amidst the dust and smoke, many ghosts and monsters were still screaming, as if someone was taking advantage of the situation to sneak in. Xie Ren immediately crouched down, and a ghost shouted, “Wait! The fight hasn’t even begun yet, why are you guys fighting!”
“Yeah! Isn’t it true that we’re all ghosts, and we peacefully coexisted together to figure out how to get through this mountain before we went in?!”
A voice laughed harshly, ”Stupid people like you deserve to be ticked off in the first round! No one ever says when the killing will start, anyway, they are all rivals, so of course the sooner they are killed, the better! Is it possible to say hello to you in advance before making a move?”
“Wait, wait! I’m quitting! We haven’t entered the Copper Furnace Mountain yet! Can’t I quit now?!”
“What do you think this is, a place where you can come and go as you please? Didn’t enter the Copper Furnace Mountain? Take a good look, where are you yourselves now!”
After the smoke and dust cleared a bit, and the group of ghosts could see clearly, they were shocked, “Ah? How could this happen?!”
Not only them, but Xie Ren was also slightly shocked by the sight before her.
When they came, the front was blocked by a high mountain that couldn’t be circled around or over. However, looking again at this moment, at some point, that high mountain, actually disappeared.
No, not disappeared, but moved behind them.
It turned out that, without realizing it, they had long entered within the boundaries of Copper Furnace Mountain!
Xie Ren suddenly understood why when he asked if there were any landmarks on Copper Furnace Mountain, Hua Cheng said yes, but not to trust them. Because these “landmarks”, like children who like to play pranks, will move on their own!
Coldly, Xie Ren heard a voice sneer behind him, “I’d like to see if you’re a puppet doll or something else?”
Life Snatching Fast Dagger Demon!
Xie Ren turned back violently, however, before Ruoxi could fly out, he saw a flash of cold light, and that Fast Blade Demon was cut off at the waist without even having the time to let out a scream!
Xie Ren came forward to take a look, half not false, really was chopped into neatly up and down two halves, this time, really dead can not be dead again. He raised his head, only to see the hands actually is that cloak strange guest, he is a long sword slowly inserted | into the scabbard under the cloak, steadily walking to.
Xie Ren only felt that the figure and gait were somewhat familiar, and got up to ask: “What exactly is Your Excellency?”
The man laughed lowly and seemed to be about to reply, but suddenly bent down. Seeing this strange situation, Xie Ren’s heart alarm bells ringing, concentrating to guard against his sneak attack, but saw that the man just bent down, hands left and right, wrapped around the waist of the two female ghosts, said: “Two girls may have something to do?”
Xie Ren: “……”
The two female ghosts are quite pretty in appearance, because they are not the sword, did not paste that yellow talisman, escaped, but was still near the explosion shocked fainted. Right now was embraced into the arms of a person to call out with deep affection, leisurely woke up, grateful: “I’m fine, thank ……”
Unexpectedly, a “thank you” has not finished, the two female ghosts both face changed greatly, a slap pushed away the cloak strange guest, said: “Get lost!” Then they hurriedly crawled to the side. The man was not annoyed by the two slaps, but only seemed to feel strange, touched his chin, frowned and wondered, “It shouldn’t be ah? This face is not ugly ah?”
“……”
Although he still hadn’t shed his disguise, Xie Ren had realized who he was and said, “General Pei, why are you here too?”
The visitor turned to him and smiled slightly, wiping his hand toward his face to reveal his true face, which was none other than Pei Ming!
He said, “Naturally, the emperor asked me to come and slightly wish Your Highness the Crown Prince well.”
Xie Ren said, “Really? That’s really embarrassing, as you can see, it’s quite dangerous here.”
Hua Cheng said, “Brother need not be embarrassed, he must not have asked Jun Wu for favors.”
Pei Ming walked to Hua Cheng, squatted down and compared his current height with his hand, and laughed: ”Am I right, is this His Excellency the Blood Rain Scout? It’s true that when a scholar is separated for three days, he is impressed, what did you eat to grow back upside down? Ha ……”
He just let out a “ha”, when Xie Ren threw out a damask, causing him to almost fly out horizontally. Pei Ming narrowly avoided it and leapt backward, saying, “Your Highness, how much do you treasure Lord Flower City that you can’t even joke about it?”
Xie Ren said with a straight face, “Are you really General Pei?”
Pei Ming patted the sword on his waist and showed it to him, saying, “As good as fake.”
Xie Ren said, “If it’s fake, just return it.”
Flower City said, “Brother, beat it to death, fake it.”
Pei Ming: “Hey!”
Xie Ren said, “If you are really General Pei, how could that yellow talisman leave a scorched mark on your forehead just now?”
Pei Ming said, “It’s simple, it’s all based on this.” Saying that, he threw a small thing to Xie Ren. Out of wariness, Xie Ren did not pick it up with his hand, the tip of his sword picked it up and sent it to his eyes, saying, “Sugar?”
On the tip of the sword was indeed a tiny black shiny candy. Pei Ming threw another one into his mouth and said, “Ghost-flavored candy balls bought at the ghost market, chewing one fills your mouth with ghostly aura from the inside out, quite useful when impersonating something inhuman.”
Xie Ren twisted up the ghost-flavored candy ball and wondered, “You can still buy such magical things in the ghost market?”
Pei Ming munched on the candy and said, ”Ask Lord Flower City beside you, he knows best. You can buy anything in the ghost market, it depends on whether you have a doorway or not. It tastes good, would Your Highness the Crown Prince like to try one too?”
Xie Ren was also quite curious about what ghosts tasted like when they ate them, and said to Hua Cheng, “In that case, we should have gone to buy some of these ghost-flavored candy balls before we came as well.”
Hua Cheng, however, took the candy ball in his hand and said, “What does brother want from the ghost market, just tell me straight. But don’t eat this thing.”
“Why?”
Hua Cheng did not even exert any force on his hand, and the sugar ball screamed and turned into a wisp of black smoke. He said, “All the things in the ghost market are dangerous. For example, this kind of sugar ball is from a black workshop, and most of the raw materials are poor quality ghosts from unknown sources, and after eating it, it will damage your body.”
Pei Ming was unimpressed, “It’s okay, I don’t eat it often, it’s just for emergencies.”
Hanagi continued, “And the smell is pungent. Magi and people can’t smell it, but the more inferior the brat, the more malodorous the smell.”
Pei Ming: “……”
Flower City smiled cheekily, “So, do you know why those two female ghosts told you to get lost?”
“……”
Because they felt that the ghostly aura on Pei Ming was very inferior and malodorous!
Xie Ren coughed lightly and politely said, “General Pei, this …… is better not to eat it.”
Pei Ming made a gesture, took out the remaining ghost-flavored candy balls and threw them all away, saying, “Okay. However, we’re only at the outermost layer of Copper Furnace Mountain now, and after we go in, there will definitely be more and more powerful demons and ghosts, who can tell at a glance that you and I are not right, so what should we do then?”
Those female ghosts were attracted to Flower City, and it was thought that it was because they liked his scent very much. The ghost qi that Hua Cheng transferred to him was bound to be of the highest quality, so there was indeed no need to buy ghost-flavored candy balls. However, if one wanted to not be seen to be contaminated with ghost qi from the outside, one would probably still need to exchange the qi with lips and teeth and exchange body|fluids like the previous times. Thinking of this, Xie Ren allowed herself to hasten to a halt and said in a serious manner, “I don’t know. I’m just a puppet doll.”
It is the meaning to continue to act. Pei Ming said, “Alright. Then Your Royal Highness will have to follow your master closely.”
Xie Ren pretended not to hear it, looked around, pondered slightly, and said, “Unexpectedly, the casualties were so heavy at the start.”
Originally, there were more than four hundred demons and devils gathered here, and they were almost all killed or injured in the chaos just now. Xie Ren couldn’t help but recall the scene that Hua Cheng had demonstrated for him that night, it was really not exaggerated, just like a gale blowing through, the weeds were all blown away. The rest of the escaped, not yet dead, sparsely less than a dozen, limbs scattered, a groan alas | groan. Hua Cheng stood in front of them and said, “Do you know what Copper Furnace Mountain is now?”
The surviving group of ghosts did not dare to make a sound. Xie Ren said in a warm voice, “Right now, you are still only in the outer layer and can still withdraw, if you don’t want to continue deeper and encounter something even more terrifying, wait in this area and look for an opportunity to leave.”
The group of ghosts was just like this, seeing that they did not have the intention of exterminating them, they hurriedly assisted those who assisted, helped those who assisted, and hid as far away as possible. Looking at the back of those who withdrew, Xie Ren thoughtfully said, “Although the name of that life-threatening fast knife devil is pompous to the extreme, but unexpectedly is a powerful role, the hand really ruthless.”
Pei Ming agreed, “This thing is extremely calculating, it was stirring up muddy waters from the start and is extremely quick to improvise, that sword of yours, Your Highness the Crown Prince, just gave him the opportunity to perform a bitter trick.”
Xie Ren was stunned and said, “Wait, I ‘that sword’? Which sword? I didn’t stab him?”
Pei Ming said, “No? It was that sword on his belly. If it wasn’t for him trying his hardest to create panic before, and that wound was stained with your aura, the other demons and devils wouldn’t have believed his words and put talismans on their heads. “
Xie Ren wondered, “To be honest, I thought that sword was stabbed by you, General Pei?”
Pei Ming said, “What misunderstanding do you have about me, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Mister Pei doesn’t do sneak attacks.”
Xie Ren said: “Not you nor me, then is there a third magus among all the people present? Or, is there a problem with the aura on the wound of that Quick Knife Demon ……” He turned back, wanting to inspect and confirm again, and the place where that life-sapping Quick Knife Demon split his body was actually empty.
He was stunned, “Where is the body of the Fast Dagger Demon?”
Pei Ming was also slightly stunned, saying, “I had clearly cut him down to the waist with a sword just now.”
Hua Cheng said in a deep voice, “Brother beware. Within the Copper Furnace Mountain, the more opponents one kills, the stronger the slaughterer becomes.”
And in just a moment of the party, that Life Snatching Quick Sword Demon had killed nearly four hundred demons and devils!
