I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 246 Ever-changing
In fact, what Zhang Chen wanted most was the skill dropped by the twelfth-level mystery, but unfortunately he didn't get anything. He didn't know why the twelfth-level mystery didn't drop any skills.

"Why doesn't the twelfth-level mystery drop any skills? There must be a pattern for the mystery to drop skills, but unfortunately I haven't found that pattern yet." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen searched through the ruins and gained tens of millions of experience points, which made him very satisfied. These tens of millions of skills were enough for him to upgrade himself. At least he should have no problem getting out of the formation.

"Maybe I can take this opportunity to get in touch with the core of the formation. There may be some mysterious relics in the formation, or at least some experience points." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and a hazy figure walked towards him in the morning light.

The figure was very strange. Its appearance was constantly changing. It took a step and turned into a cow. Then it took another step and turned into a horse. Then it took another step and turned into a tiger. Then it turned into a human. Then it turned into an ant and a fly. It kept changing as it took each step.

"Seventy-two transformations!" Zhang Chen looked at the changing figure, his eyes full of shock.

This skill is really extraordinary! Just think about how difficult it is to deal with Monkey King's 72 transformations.

"Sir, please help me! My lord, please save me!"

At this moment, the figure that had been changing stopped, and as it stood still, its shape no longer changed, but turned into the appearance of Huang Chao. At this time, he looked at Zhang Chen with a confused look on his face, his eyes full of fear.

"Why is it you?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw Huang Chao, then praised him: "I didn't expect you to master the art of ever-changing skills. It's really cause for celebration."

Huang Chao's mouth curled up bitterly when he heard this: God's fucking 72 transformations!

"Sir, don't joke with me. An accident happened when I was acquiring the skill. I can't master it. As long as I take a step, it will change automatically. I am miserable." Huang Chao's voice was full of helplessness.

What can he do?
He is also desperate!

He did have the ability to change in a myriad of ways, but he had no means to control it. As long as he took a step, he would change involuntarily, and as long as he stood still, the changes would stop. He was on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao carefully, sensing the soul-stirring mark at the same time. After confirming that the person in front of him was Huang Chao, he felt a little confused, not knowing what was going on with this guy.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen had a know-it-all by his side, who summoned the Great Freedom Demon's clone and asked, "What's going on with this guy?"

"This is the curse of the Cursed Demon God. The Cursed Demon God used the curse to grant him the ability to change into various forms. At the same time, the Cursed Demon God also secretly mixed in the changes of his own demon god. As long as Huang Chao turns into the Cursed Demon God when he encounters an enemy in the future, the Cursed Demon God's true form will appear at that time, and he can secretly do various tricks. In the long run, Huang Chao's changes will increase, and by then the Cursed Demon God's influence on the world will become stronger and stronger, to the point that Huang Chao will be directly possessed by it and live in the world instead."

The Great Freedom Demon looked at the state of Huang Chao opposite him and saw the key point at a glance: "This is the routine of taking over the body commonly used by those old guys. They don't know how to come up with something new. It's simply too common."

When the two were talking, because they were a little far away and it was dark, Huang Chao did not hear their conversation, nor did he see Zhang Chen talking to himself in the air.

"How to crack it?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Use the power of incense." The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "The root of all this is the Curse Demon God. As long as the Curse Demon God is suppressed, everything will naturally be resolved."

Zhang Chen understood what he said, and then put away the Great Freedom Demon. Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao opposite him, but found that his chain had hooked on Huang Chao's body without him knowing.

"Hmm? Why is there a chain connecting me and Huang Chao?"

Zhang Chen was secretly surprised in his heart, and after a slight sense, he sighed helplessly. The chain turned out to be the incarnation of the Great Freedom Demon, and the Great Freedom Demon actually took root in Huang Chao's body.

"Why is this guy joining in the fun?" Zhang Chen muttered unhappily, "Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the situation while the mantis stalks the cicada? The Cursed Demon God has taken over Huang Chao's body, and he took the opportunity to use Huang Chao's inner demon to invade the Cursed Demon God?"

Zhang Chen speculated in his heart that this idea was actually quite plausible.

"Thanks to the fact that I marked the Great Freedom Demon with my skills in advance, otherwise I would have no idea. This guy is just like a locust. How come there are traces of him everywhere?" Zhang Chen cursed inwardly, and felt that the Great Freedom Demon was simply omnipresent.

"Please save me, sir!" Huang Chao pleaded to Zhang Chen from a distance.

He was really forced into a corner, so he decided to try his luck in the ruins again, hoping that he could find a way to resolve the abnormality in his body. However, he didn't expect that he would meet Zhang Chen again.

Zhang Chen was not only his benefactor, but also his lucky star. Moreover, Zhang Chen was very mysterious in his eyes. Although he had some changes, he had an inexplicable intuition in his heart that Zhang Chen could definitely resolve his predicament.

Zhang Chen walked forward upon hearing this, looked at Huang Chao's somewhat embarrassed face, and said, "Why are you in such a mess?"

"It's really hard to put it into words." Huang Chao said with a wry smile.

Zhang Chen had originally hoped that Huang Chao could help him remove the curse, but Huang Chao himself was trapped in it. Now it seems that there is no hope of relying on Huang Chao.

"Do you know the cause of your mutation?" Zhang Chen asked.

Huang Chao shook his head when he heard this. He was a newbie and had never been exposed to mystery. How could he know what it was?
"Did you know that a cursed demon appeared in this tomb?" Zhang Chen said.

"Of course I've heard about it. This time, a cursed demon god was born in the tomb. I don't know how many Confucian elites have been cursed. Now it's spread all over the world..." Huang Chao stopped talking here, looking at Zhang Chen with a pair of doubtful eyes, his eyes full of disbelief: "You're not saying that I'm cursed, are you?"

"You are not cursed, you are possessed by the cursed demon. The origin of the cursed demon is in you, and then you are cursed by the cursed demon, gaining a thousand kinds of abilities." Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao with sympathy. This unlucky child finally gained superpowers and was about to become rich and powerful, but who would have expected to encounter such a thing?
It's a disaster from heaven!

There were so many Confucian elites out there who cursed the Demon God but he didn't choose Huang Chao, instead he chose Huang Chao. Is there anyone in the world more unlucky than Huang Chao?

"Please save me, sir." Huang Chao was so frightened when he heard this that his face turned pale and he fell to his knees and begged.

Zhang Chen helped Huang Chao up: "Don't be like this, even I am cursed, and I can't do anything about it, how can I save you?"

Huang Chao's face immediately turned pale and full of disappointment. Zhang Chen patted Huang Chao on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Although I can't save you, I can show you a way forward."

"Please teach me, sir. Huang Chao will never forget your great kindness in the future." Huang Chao turned sadness into joy when he heard the words, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

He has no dignity in front of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen saved him from the fire and gave him hope to change his life. What dignity does he have in front of Zhang Chen?
"There is only one way to resolve your troubles, and that is to collect incense and faith." Zhang Chen said.

"Incense and worship?" Huang Chao was stunned: "Isn't that an offering from the gods and Buddhas? Can mortals collect it?"

"As long as you gain believers or build a temple, you can naturally gain the power of incense and faith." Zhang Chen said.

Huang Chao possesses extraordinary powers, especially his ever-changing abilities, which are mysterious and unparalleled. It is not difficult for him to collect incense and faith.

"Please teach me how to collect incense and faith?" Huang Chao was still a little confused.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Huang Tiandao's method of collecting incense and faith is very good. If you don't know how to collect incense and faith, you might as well copy Huang Tiandao's method."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will repay you in the future." Huang Chao found a way to solve the hidden danger in his body, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

But then he thought again, if he was like this now and changed with every step, he would be regarded as a demon and beaten to death. Who would dare to believe in him? So he cried to Zhang Chen:
"Although I have found a way to break the calamity, how can I go down the mountain to collect incense and faith in my current state? Please show mercy and give me another method so that I can buy some time to collect the power of incense and faith."

Zhang Chen felt sorry for Huang Chao as he watched her crying. It really was like the old saying goes: A hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune only finds the unfortunate.

Huang Chao had finally managed to defy fate, but then he encountered something like this. It really makes people feel sad.

If Huang Chao had asked him for help before obtaining the Six-Character Mantra, he would have had no good solution. But now that he has obtained the Six-Character Mantra, it is not difficult for him to suppress the incomplete origin of a demon god who has lost consciousness.

"I can buy you a year. If you can obtain enough incense power within a year, you can resolve the crisis. If you have not collected enough faith and incense after a year, then come back to me to seal it for you." As he spoke, Zhang Chen pressed his finger on Huang Chao's brow, and then activated his six-word mantra, which turned into an illusory calligraphy that flew out and landed on Huang Chao's brow, turning into a golden light spot.

"Take a few steps and see." After Zhang Chen finished casting the spell, he said to Huang Chao.

Huang Chao took a cautious step forward, without any change, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Then he took a second step, a third step, and after walking around, Huang Chao ran towards Zhang Chen with a look of ecstasy in his eyes: "My Lord, it's done! It's done! I'm finally back to normal."

"Don't be happy too soon. We are only suppressing the curse temporarily now. The right thing to do is to collect incense and faith as soon as possible." Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao, whose face was full of excitement, and gave him earnest instructions.

When he saw Huang Chao, he seemed to see himself. They were both people at the bottom of society. Although their circumstances were different, they were equally difficult.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, sir. Huang Chao has never been to school and cannot speak eloquently. We will see you in the future." Huang Chao knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Chen again.

Zhang Chen patted Huang Chao on the shoulder and said, "Get up."

"It's bright now, and I would like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse." Huang Chao's voice was full of sincerity.

Seeing Huang Chao's eyes full of desire, Zhang Chen couldn't bear to refuse: "I won't hide it from you now. I am a wanted criminal of Pingbian Palace. If you are seen by the spies of Pingbian Palace when you are having dinner with me, I am afraid that you will be in big trouble. You may even lose your life. Do you still want to treat me to a meal?"

"I have known for a long time that you are a wanted criminal in the Pingbian Palace. After all, I am also a beggar's head, and I have contacts with all kinds of people. I am well-informed." Huang Chao also replied.

Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao in surprise: "Aren't you afraid?"

"My Lord, you are so kind, why should you be afraid? The Pingbian Palace dared to issue a wanted order for you, it must be the Pingbian Palace's fault. The Pingbian Palace is really guilty of a thousand crimes. I wish I could exterminate the entire Pingbian Palace for you." Huang Chao said here, and then confidently said: "Besides, I have a way to make the Pingbian Palace unable to recognize you. Even if you walk past them, they will not be able to identify you."

Having said this, Huang Chao pointed at Zhang Chen, and saw that golden light suddenly flowed on Zhang Chen's body, dissolving an inexplicable force.

Huang Chao was stunned when he saw that Zhang Chen did not react after he pointed his finger at him. There was a hint of self-doubt in his eyes. He doubted his life and questioned whether his ability had disappeared along with the seal of the Demon God's origin.

Zhang Chen knew that it was his own golden light that automatically protected his body, so he retracted the golden light and said to Huang Chao: "Try pointing at me now."

Zhang Chen restrained the golden light, he wanted to see what Huang Chao was capable of.

Huang Chao pointed at Zhang Chen with a look of trepidation, and the next moment Zhang Chen felt his body tremble, and then Huang Chao said with joy: "It's done!"

Zhang Chen had some guesses in his mind. The water vapor in front of him condensed and turned into an ice mirror. Then Zhang Chen looked at the strange middle-aged man in the mirror and couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Huang Chao's face full of expectation as he looked at him, waiting for his praise, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of jealousy: pointing at objects and making them take shape!
This is the transformation of objects! Absolutely great magical power!
"This is a method I have acquired. Every time I use it, the target person can change their form for one day, and it will automatically disappear after one day." There was some boasting in Huang Chao's voice.

Not only can he change himself, he can also make others change.

"This cursed demon has such terrifying powers." Zhang Chen retracted the water mirror, a hint of shock in his eyes, making him wish he could be possessed by the cursed demon.

"Let's go to the city. I'll treat you to breakfast." Huang Chao's voice was full of joy.

Zhang Chen nodded and followed Huang Chao into the city. On the way, the two talked, and Zhang Chen and Huang Chao discussed the matter of preaching.

"If you have the real skills, it will not be difficult for you to preach, but there are many tricks in making it bigger and stronger." Zhang Chen said to Huang Chao.
