Chapter 100: Four-Leaf Corpse Demon Chi
……
In a certain corner of the dead city.
Bang
A loud crack, a copper corpse's head burst, its twisted body convulsed several times, and then fell silent.
After getting rid of the annoying copper corpse, Chen Mo swept out with one palm, and the scattered weeds and withered branches flew away, revealing a black-and-yellow striped Corpse Demon Orchid.
But what disappointed him was that this Corpse Demon's flesh was withered and dull, mottled and lacking in luster, clearly a low-grade inferior product.
"Damn it, all for nothing." Chen Mo felt a surge of frustration and crushed the worthless Corpse Witch's remains with one foot.
After searching around, I gathered up the corpse cores and got a small bag full of them. It's clear that finding one Four-Leaf Clover Corpse Flower isn't going to be easy, as I've encountered many similar battles along the way.
Chen Mo's foot tapped lightly, and the rabbit soared into the air, landing on the roof of the house. Looking around, everything was still as dull and lifeless as before.
In the center of the courtyard, several motionless demon corpses lay horizontally and vertically, a gift from Bai Chenmo. The plump little Ba was lazily lying on its side, looking pleased with itself. It seemed that in this dead city, it had not come to fight, but to enjoy itself.
This lazy good-for-nothing, Chen Mo suddenly gasped for air, jumped up like a male eagle that had suddenly appeared in a dead city, and charged forward with an overbearing attitude. He directly grabbed Xiao Ba's foot and lifted him upside down.
"Brother, I've already called you brother. Where did your usual cleverness go? You got me busy for nothing again." Chen Mo knocked on its head with a bad temper, the four-leafed corpse demon jasper that refines the soul-retrieving elixir, how come it's so hard to find?
Cough, Xiaobao struggled to pull and kick his four limbs, but couldn't break free. He had no choice but to let it go. The turtle's eyes glared, as if saying, "Brother Ba, even with your keen sense of smell, you need something for me to sniff, right? You're clearly unable to find the spiritual medicine and are in a bad mood, so you're taking it out on Brother Ba."
Big Brother, I'm so unlucky, I've met a bad person.
"Chen Mo, don't bully Xiao Ba again."
A gentle and soft voice floated into Chen Mo's ears, he hastily turned his head to look, only to see his master, Mu Lingwei, floating towards him with a slender figure, wearing a long white dress, fluttering like a startled swan, as if she was an immortal descending to the mortal world.
That jade-like complexion, cold and serene as a fairy's, was in stark contrast to the style of this dead city.
"Master, I was just playing with Xiao Ba." Chen Mo hastily withdrew his fierce expression and turned to smile at Mu Lingwei.
Then, with a gentle face, he stroked Xiaobao's head and said softly: "Xiaobao, is that what you said?"
Xiao Ba stopped struggling, Mengmeng's turtle eyes glared at him with a bad temper, as if saying, "Do you dare to change your face faster?" However, he heard the thick threat in his master's mouth. He quickly turned his turtle head and nodded hastily to Mù Língwēi, with a silly and lovely expression.
It's still good to be Fairy Sister, Xiaobei struggled and pounced into Mulanwei's arms, rubbing back and forth in a cute manner, softly wailing twice.
"Are you hungry?" Mu Lingwei slightly scolded Chen Mo with a glance, then turned around and took out a second-grade spiritual pill to feed it.
Chen Mo was at a loss for words, what kind of godly pet had he gotten himself into? For the sake of two mouths to feed, anything could be done.
"After taking the elixir, shouldn't you transform and let Master take a break? Chen Mo said with a kind face: 'Look at how fat you've become! Don't you need to exercise?'"
Little Eight Turtle-faced speechless, reluctantly transformed into a "mount", about the size of a small house, with shell patterns revealing an ancient and savage aura, with sharp thorns standing upright. It honestly lay there.
Muling Wei couldn't help but be summoned by Chen Mo's repeated calls, and after declining several times, she jumped up and sat down, her slender body sitting sideways, gentle and elegant.
Chen Mo led the way in front, while the tortoise carried their beautiful female Shifu behind.
"Chen Mo, one more day. If we still can't find the Four-Leaf Corpse Demon Orchid, we'll head back to Changchun Valley." Mu Lingwei said calmly.
"Master, without the spiritual medicine, it will be very difficult to get the first place."
Muling Wei's slender fingers played with a strand of hair, saying calmly: "We've tried our best, the position of Valley Master, let everything be as it may."
Although Ling Wei verbally agreed to participate in the election of the valley master, she still maintained a detached state of mind. Chen Mo couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking that many people wanted to compete, but weren't even qualified, yet this "goddess sister" had an extraordinary heart, what could the world do about it?
"Then let's head towards the center of Dead City, I believe there must be a Four-Leaf Corpse Clover somewhere." Chen Mo said firmly.
"Dead City Center?" A thin lip curled, Mu Lingwei looked somewhat surprised. After a moment of contemplation, she flicked her hair and said: "The edge of the Dead City is already very perilous, at the center where the demonic energy is abundant, I won't be able to protect you."
Chen Mo's face was calm and composed. His master had taken him in and taught him, so he definitely wanted to help her become the Valley Master. Moreover, he himself had experienced many ups and downs, his combat abilities were not something to brag about, but he did have some experience. If all else failed, he could always escape.
"Master, why don't we split up and search separately? We can cover a wider area and increase our chances of finding something." The man's pride also got the better of him, so he left Mu Lingwei's protection.
"Really?"
"Don't worry, Master, I'll be careful."
The wind rose, lifting a strand of her black silk, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a faint smile. Her jade palm lightly stroked the turtle shell, she stood up from the ground, her long white skirt fluttering and swaying, her lotus feet treading on air for several steps, her back already flying far away.
"It also gives you a chance to temper yourself. If there's danger, just shout for me loudly." The voice was like a clear spring water, slowly fading away as the figure gradually disappeared.
"Don't worry, I can handle it." As he watched the floating Mu Lingwei, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart.
Xiao Ba transformed back to normal, hanging his head down, the four claws on his front paws grasping at the ground with all their might, and a seam began to widen.
"What do you mean? You want to find a seam and drill into it?" This guy is clearly lacking in confidence.
He grabbed Xiao Ba and scolded him, "Get serious, or I'll cut off your turtle food for a month!"
One man, one turtle, starting from the edge of the dead city, exploring and sweeping through the past.
I don't know how long it's been.
A scene of devastation lies before me.
Dark winds are blowing, like the wailing of ghosts. The gray sky is filled with floating black air, along the way are broken city walls, scattered mud bricks and tiles, and everywhere are ruins and crumbling walls.
A lone castle tower stood, about five zhang high, with a crimson glazed tile roof that was incomplete, and the supporting beams were scattered and fallen, while in the sky above, a majestic eagle slowly circled with outstretched wings.
A small pavilion made of tattered canvas stood at the foot of the city wall, with several dusty tables and stools. All this proved the desolation and decay within the city, as well as its former prosperity.
"Cough cough", Chen Mo cleared his throat twice and said: "Xiao Ba, you say we haven't reached the center yet, why is the demonic energy here so thick?"
Xiao Ba was unusually quiet at this time, apparently also frightened by the gloomy and desolate place. His eyes were fixed on the vultures circling above the city tower, while his limbs slowly retreated and moved backwards.
"Don't scare me, you little brat." Following his gaze, the eagle soared and swooped, and in another circle or two, it would land on that city tower. Chen Mo knew that Xiao Ba's sense of danger was much stronger than his own.
Suddenly.
The dark eagle swooped vertically and suddenly towards the top of the city building, piercing through the broken tiles and shooting straight in. Chen Mo's pupils dilated, and the scene before him was unbelievable.
Instantly.
The glazed tiles of the city building burst from within, and the green tiles flew in all directions. The eagle that had entered soared into the air, its claws grasping a piece of flesh with a reddish tint like blood, surrounded by four green leaves at the edges, as if freshly born.
"Four-leafed Corpse Demon Chi."
Suddenly, a pair of golden claws burst out from the tile eaves, with curved finger bones and sharp fingertips exposed, three times more ruthless than the eagle's sharp talons.
"Ahh", the eagle let out a loud cry, its two feet already grasped by those golden claws, tearing apart in reverse, limbs torn in two, blood splashing everywhere. In the blink of an eye, along with the corpse demon, they both fell into the city tower.
Golden Corpse!
Chen Mo let out a low cry, his feet moving involuntarily as he retreated two steps. His eyes were filled with fear. The golden corpse had brought him too much shock, something he was completely unable to handle.
Moreover, judging from its appearance, the golden corpse has already possessed preliminary wisdom. It actually understands how to use spiritual medicine as bait to catch living things.
Luckily I didn't discover that four-leaf clover first.
"Xiao Ba."
In the chaos, he glanced sideways and saw Xiaobai's figure, but it had already disappeared without a trace.
"I was still thinking of you."
He quietly activated the mysterious energy, and before the golden corpse was discovered, he jumped into a nearby ruin. The golden corpse had the combat power of a pre-heavenly initial stage, but it wasn't something that a spirit master like himself could withstand head-on.
Suddenly, I felt a hard object under my foot and almost tripped. It turned out that Xiao Ba had arrived earlier. Without time to scold Xiao Ba, Chen Mo quickly lay down at the edge of the ruins, carefully observing through the hidden gaps.
"After searching extensively, I finally found it without much effort. A thrill rose in my heart, and I finally found it. However, I couldn't defeat that Golden Corpse, so I need to think of a plan."
"Xiao Ba."
As I turned back and let out a soft sigh, I saw Xiao Ba vigorously shaking his turtle head, full of unwillingness. It was clear that he knew exactly what kind of nonsense his master was thinking about.
This clever ghost, Chen Mo muttered to himself. He put away his fierce expression and gently stroked Xiaoba's neck with a warm smile on his face, patted the turtle shell, and said in a soft but slightly excited tone: "Ba Ge, we two are connected by blood, not biological brothers, but better than biological brothers. Although you're just a turtle, I've always treated you like family."
Xiao Ba's eyes were slightly moist, as if moved. However, he immediately shook his head firmly.
"Don't be in a hurry to object, think about it, the Four-Leaf Corpse Demon Chi is related to whether our Master can become the Valley Master. Chen Mo's affectionate attack didn't work, so he started to persuade him gently: 'In the future, Changchun Valley will be ours, just think about it, all those spiritual herbs, all those spiritual pills...'"
Xiao Ba's eyes began to glaze over, his saliva dripping down, his mind filled with the fragrance of spiritual medicine and elixirs. However, as soon as he thought of that golden corpse tearing apart the Azure Eagle with its bare hands, Xiao Ba firmly shook his head again.
Xiao Ba suddenly stopped pretending and turned his head to run out quickly.
Not having run out a few steps, "slap", Chen Mo grabbed its swinging hind leg.
After struggling, Xiao Ba saw Chen Mo's true face exposed, and his heart was filled with sorrow. What bad luck to encounter such a person!
