Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 249 Deep into the Hundred Beast Mountain, the Divine Essence Pig King!

Due to the strong warning from Brother 260, the cultivators proceeded extremely slowly on the rest of the journey.

Trembling with fear, they passed through the low mountain range where second-tier demon kings gathered, a place where a single move could affect the whole area, and arrived at the edge of the original Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

Before the cultivators could catch their breath, Su Qing led the way into the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, which was shrouded in miasma and deep in the clouds.

Upon entering, apart from the omnipresent miasma, it was no different from the outside world; the trees, grass, and animals were all normal.

But as they went deeper, what they saw and heard gradually began to seem strange.

The ancient, gnarled, green trees, twisted into human shapes, swayed in the wind, eerily strange.

The weeds, which could be seen everywhere, rustled as if they were whispering secrets.

Occasionally, rocks exposed on the ground would bounce up and shout curses after people stepped on them.

These strange phenomena, though seemingly odd, are not entirely surprising.

It's nothing more than plants and trees becoming spirits, and rocks becoming strange creatures.

"Compared to the outside world, this place is much more vibrant!"

Su Qing summoned a strange earthen stone creature, which had just hurled the most offensive insults and seemed to have the ability to detect the formation. It followed the group and cursed for several miles.

Such a unique personality naturally comes at a price. Su Qing erased its life force, turning it into a hundred-pound piece of obsidian, which was then thrown into a storage bag.

I've added a special note: this material is extremely foul-mouthed, making it a great material for crafting taunt-and-pull-type golems.

"Full of life? If it weren't for this formation by the old Taoist, we would have been exhausted dealing with these plant spirits before the demon beasts even had a chance to make a move!"

Liang Haishun didn't have Su Qing's time for that, and asked again:

"Asu, you only said you were coming to the Hundred Beast Mountains to find some materials that are hard to get in the city. Now that you've entered the Hundred Beast Mountains, you should tell us what kind of materials you are so that we can help you find them."

"No rush. The materials I need are still deep inside, and it wouldn't be good to trouble you fellow cultivators to risk yourselves with me."

Su Qing responded to Liang Haishun, but her eyes suddenly sharpened.

Immediately, he raised his hand and waved it at the group of cultivators, then suddenly turned and entered a dark cave filled with demonic energy.

······
Humans are born of human mothers.

The demon was born from the demon's mother.

Everyone's life is given by their parents. No one is much more noble than anyone else. If you are killed, you will definitely die. Only by lying down can you live longer.

The Demon King Gangjing, while on official business, comprehended the true meaning of demon life.

A few months ago, it was young and naive, full of bravado, and wanted to make a name for itself with its three thousand pounds of flesh.

Therefore, as soon as the Golden Roc King gave the order, it followed closely behind and went to the front line of the battle against the human cultivators, the low mountain defense line, intending to use the lives of the human cultivators to bring glory to its lineage of demon pigs.

However, it still underestimated the brutality of the front-line battlefield.

Human cultivators are far more cruel and despicable than the demons and beasts have described.

In the bi-weekly second-tier battles, the demonic beasts suffered more defeats than victories.

He watched helplessly as his demon king brothers, who had looked down on him in the past but were actually much stronger than him, were cruelly murdered by human cultivators.

On the surface, the Gangjing Pig King still appears to be a generous and heroic figure willing to shed his last drop of blood for the demon race, but his courage has long since shrunk to his testicles. He never takes the initiative in any gambling battle, and when the human cultivators on the other side choose their opponents, he always prays that he will not be chosen.

This understated and unassuming approach allowed it to land smoothly.

After the Golden Roc King died, and before a new third-tier demon king had arrived, it seized the opportunity to slip back to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range and continue its decadent, hedonistic life.

"Your Majesty, are you still going to the Low Mountain defense line?" A little demon under his seat, staggering from drinking, asked drunkenly.

With the Pig King away, the lesser demons are having a hard time. Not only do the wolf and tiger demons frequently come to Pig King Mountain to devour them, but even a random weed that has become a spirit dares to slap them across the face.

"I'm not going anymore, I'm never going again. Those cultivators all have three heads and six arms, with blue faces and fangs. They are really hard to deal with. Only because I, the Great King, am so capable, was able to escape this calamity."

What about Little Peng King? What about Golden Peng King? Even with their abilities, they couldn't escape the clutches of human cultivators. Although I, this great king, am fearless, I can't escape the endless stream of despicable tricks from human cultivators. It's safest to stay at home and lie down!

The Gangjing Pig King waved his hand and shook his head, preparing to behave himself as a demon and a pig from now on, and never provoke those humans again.

As long as it doesn't leave the mountain, those human cultivators can't possibly attack its home!

"Kill the demon!"

"I'll handle this pig king. Fellow Daoist Pang, don't you still have a second-tier beast ring? Get it ready, maybe you can snag a big one!"

"Should we kill all the lesser demons?"

"Hold the cave entrance tight, don't let a single one escape!"

"Hey! This demon king really knows how to enjoy himself. Those two willow tree spirits are writhing quite seductively!"

The shouts of the human cultivators reached his ears, and the Gangjing Pig King dreamed of returning to the Dwarf Mountain Defense Line!
how can that be!

What are those demon kings at the Dwarf Mountain defense line doing?!
How could they allow the cultivators to break through the defenses and enter the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range!

Hmm? It seems quite a few demon kings, like it, have secretly run home, leaving many loopholes in the defenses!
But how did it end up in its house?
Tolerable or unbearable!
When its home was attacked, the Gangjing Pig King, who had been preparing to be kind to people in the future, revealed its ferocious and evil nature, wanting these cultivators to pay the price.

"My men, you are but a few cultivators. Follow me and kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The Gangjing Pig King roared, its body trembled, and its body suddenly enlarged, transforming into its true form as a demon king with white limbs, black skin, exposed tusks, and a demonic aura surrounding its entire body.

With its fangs aimed at the approaching enemy and its hind legs digging into the ground, it was about to charge headfirst, causing a cataclysmic upheaval and a devastating collapse.

However, it hasn't even had a chance to be effective yet.

A tiger's roar and a dragon's cry rang out, and then a man with four hands and two guns swept away many lesser demons and minions, heading straight for it with murderous intent.

When the Pig King looked up and saw the person's appearance, his newly ignited passion instantly turned cold.

It has seen this person before!
That despicable human cultivator who used a mountain demon puppet to sneak up behind and kill Little Peng King!
Because of him, the demon kings of the entire low mountain defense line gained a deeper understanding of the despicable nature of human cultivators. Afterwards, when they wagered war against human cultivators, none of them forgot to be wary of the sinister winds behind them.

The Gangjing Pig King knew that this human cultivator, besides being despicable, also possessed formidable strength, far beyond what it could withstand.

"This lowly demon kowtows to the esteemed human cultivator. Please, esteemed cultivator, show mercy! This lowly demon is willing to surrender! This lowly demon is willing to surrender!"

They fought to the bitter end, even at the cost of being pierced by two spears, vowing to defend the dignity of the Demon King and bow down in utter disgrace, all in order to save their own lives.

At the critical moment, the Divine Pig King made the choice to follow his heart.

Seeing that it was so sensible, Su Qing naturally didn't want to kill it.

After extracting information about the demon kings from it, it cooperated with Pang Feifan to put the beast ring on its head.

Although it cooperated, Pang Feifan himself was too useless. He was only a first-level beast tamer. Even if he put it in the beast ring, he didn't know when he would be able to train it properly.

Meanwhile, the remaining lesser demons in the cave, driven mad by greed and a thirst for money, were all slaughtered by Qinghe and her sword puppet.

And after Liang Haishun secretly put the two willow tree spirits into his storage bag.

Su Qing instructed Liang Haishun to set up an array at the cave entrance, making this place a temporary resting place for the cultivators.

Then he cupped his hands to the assembled cultivators and said:
"You should not move around here. Go along the path and come back quickly."
