Immortal Road.

Chapter 296 Fishing in troubled waters
Three quarters of a hour.

The Yuanlu Demon King led the army in a fighting and retreating manner and had already penetrated deep into the middle section of the Jingqi Forest. The Kuihu Demon King was chasing them relentlessly from behind, and both sides were blood-thirsty.

All along the way there were mutilated animal carcasses, blood and numerous corpses.

The pungent smell of blood attracted many creatures in the forest, including vampire finches, bedbugs, leeches, bats, etc., which rushed out in large numbers to enjoy this feast.

In the chaos, the two demon kings didn't care about these things at all and continued to fight each other.

There was no longer any soldier fighting against soldier or general fighting against general. People just attacked the enemy as soon as they saw them. The place was already in chaos.

“Tap tap tap tap tap~~~”

"Bang bang bang bang~~~"

The sound of swords and horses echoed in the forest, and the echo spread farther and farther. Coupled with the shift of the battlefield, it gradually spread to the exit of the back half of the Jingqi Forest.

This time, Lin Shan left Zhong Shenxiu, the young master Jiuyou, and the Ming Snake Demon King behind, and deliberately went to look for the old rival, the guinea pig demon general, in the Yuanlu Demon King's camp.

Hard work pays off, and after searching for a while he finally found it!

The guinea pig demon general was currently leading his men, a group of about seven or eight hundred guinea pigs, fighting and retreating to the rear.

This guinea pig tribe is not simple. Under the leadership of the cave master, the demonic power has gathered to form a small military formation. Grey light keeps flowing, forming a circle of light outside, which moves around them and gives people a feeling of being indestructible.

The demon race is different from the wild monsters. The wild monsters are also called ferocious beasts. There are innate differences in intelligence. The ratio is that it takes hundreds of ferocious beasts to produce one demon race. This is not absolute and also depends on race and bloodline.

What's more, those who can be included in the demon army are naturally outstanding.

Seeing Lin Shan coming, the guinea pig demon was stunned for a moment, but then ignored him.

This time it is not fighting alone. With the support of so many of its own kind below, how could the human boy on the opposite side possibly fight against hundreds of people?
In fact, Lin Shan didn't think he was being reckless.

The Demon King Kuihu had given him military power, and he had two hundred little demons under his command. It was just that the previous battle was commanded by Mr. Bei, and now that Mr. Bei is gone, the army naturally came under his control.

"Beep beep~"

Lin Shan blew a whistle, and soon a group of little monsters slowly gathered behind him, half of them were wolves and half were mastiffs.

These subordinates originally did not obey him, but after rescuing the demon king Kuihu from the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place, everyone in the camp knew about Lin Shan's abilities and respected him very much.

Lin Shan took out the cave master's token and waved his arm suddenly towards the front. The token in his hand transmitted the language of animals, and the two hundred little demons under his command immediately rushed forward impatiently.

"Ow~~~"

Seeing Lin Shan leading his team to attack, the demon general who was originally chasing him wisely gave up his target, vacated the space to let the opponent be handed over to him, and turned around to chase in another direction.

The guinea pig demon on the opposite side was shocked at first, but he felt relieved after seeing this scene. Although the human boy on the opposite side had a powerful formation, it should not be difficult to fight with his small arms and legs, and it would be more convenient for him to retreat.

The situation of the battle here was indeed like this. The little demons under Lin Shan really had no way to deal with the enemy and could only scratch at the outer demon light fence. The guinea pig demon general led the tribe to retreat steadily, and their steps became much lighter.

A group of little demons looked back at him resentfully, as if questioning why he didn't know how to form a demon formation.

Lin Shan turned a blind eye. He was not a demon and had never led troops into battle. Naturally, he knew nothing about the demon army formations. However, he did not plan to rely on these subordinates. As long as they could serve as tools for him and hold back the enemy's minions, that would be enough.

My target has always been the enemy's demon general. As long as I can chop off the demon rat's head, it will be a real military achievement!

"come out!"

He slapped the spirit beast bag containing the phantom ancient tree, and three balls of black mist floated out.

The three evil brothers seemed to have been holding it in for the past few days. They were very happy to finally come out for some fresh air. Their weird laughter made an ear-piercing sound.

The evil spirit wok looked intoxicated: "Hmm! Such a strong smell of blood, delicious, delicious!"

Xie Lingru also closed his eyes and enjoyed it: "Heaven, this is heaven, I must inhale enough this time!"

The evil spirit was not as thick-skinned as the other two. Instead, he looked around, feeling the might of thousands of beasts galloping in the forest on the ground and the terrifying power of the two Nascent Soul stage demon kings fighting in the sky.

The spirit was so frightened that it began to tremble and asked cautiously.

"My Lord, you called us out here for..."

Lin Shan pointed forward and saw the guinea pig demon general gathering the demon power of the surrounding tribesmen. He was fighting and retreating and was about to run away.

"Go up and stop them!"

The three evil spirit brothers took a look and realized that it was just a Jindan-stage demon general, so they felt relieved.

In order to perform well in front of Lin Shan, the three of them pounced on him without saying a word.

But the next moment, he was hit back like a ball by the guinea pig demon on the opposite side.

"Ouch!"

"Pain Pain!"

"What kind of vicious hidden weapon is this?"

Even Lin Shan was startled. Just now, a gray light suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and then his three men were beaten back.

Although the three evil spirit brothers are all at the bottom of the Jindan stage, they are at least of the same level of combat power. How can they be so weak?
At this time, the guinea pig demon on the opposite side was just breathing heavily on the surface, but in fact it was in great pain all over its body, because it just saw three evil spirits rushing towards it, and was afraid of being possessed by these things, so it quickly used its racial talent to shoot out the guinea pig spines all over its body.

This thing is a disposable item. If you want to use it again, you have to wait for decades for it to grow back on your body.

However, even this powerful weapon in its eyes, when shot at the three evil spirits, only made them scream in pain, without causing any substantial harm.

Instead, the three evil spirit brothers collected dozens of gray thorns and happily presented them to Lin Shan.

"Son."

Lin Shan took the gray thorns and the strengthening panel popped out.

【Guinea Pig Thorn】

Quality: Fourth-level material

Introduction: It is transformed from the hair of a guinea pig demon in the Jindan stage and can be used for refining equipment.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

Lin Shan looked at the toothpick-sized thorns and had no desire to strengthen them. Dozens of them together would not be enough to refine any magic weapon, unless it was some needle-shaped hidden weapons. However, he would never refuse something that was delivered to his door.

The guinea pig demon on the opposite side was so furious that he wanted to rush over to take it back, but the three evil spirit brothers had already pounced on him again.

Creatures like evil spirits have excellent physical defenses, and their main feature is that they are weird and difficult to deal with. The guinea pig demon actually couldn't do anything about them for a while!
Lin Shan walked over with a smile on his face, and two magic weapons flew past behind him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guinea pig demon general screamed and summoned his subordinates.

"Zhizhi~~"

The little monsters on both sides were still fighting bloody battles below. After hearing the leader's call for help, the guinea pig tribe, out of natural obedience to their leader, resolutely released their qi and blood into the monster formation, and a guinea pig ancestor spirit made of blood and qi was summoned out.

The demon's eyes were bloodshot, its body was smooth as a mirror, its figure was slender like a boat, its rat tail was raised high, and it carried the aura of hundreds of demons, which instantly subdued the person on the spot!
Some demon army formations can summon military souls or demon spirits, which was also within Lin Shan's expectations.

He let the Broken Water Sword and the Iron Chain Dart be entangled by the evil spirit and had no intention of paying any attention to it.

He turned around and took out the Wind Escape Talisman and the Phantom Gold Lock in his left and right hands, and disappeared in a flash.

Before the guinea pig demon general had time to react, he suddenly felt a golden light shining on his head, and the next moment he fell into a fantasy of sinking.

The spirits of most of the demon race are slightly inferior to those of humans, and they just stand there in a daze without checking.

The blood-colored demon spirit saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around to block Lin Shan, but it was too late. The three evil spirit brothers seized the opportunity and directly surged black mist, possessing the guinea pig demon general and drilling into the demon consciousness space.

Lin Shan did not make any extra moves. He simply controlled the magic weapon to entangle the bloody demon spirit and waited for good news from the three evil spirit brothers.

Evil spirits are good at attacking the soul, and there were three of them attacking together. The guinea pig demon general already had a weak consciousness, and was attacked by Lin Shan's illusion magic weapon. How could he defend his own sea of ​​consciousness?

After a while, when the guinea pig demon's consciousness broke free from the illusion, its sea of ​​consciousness was also breached by the evil spirit. At this time, black mist began to seep out of the gray demon's body, and the evil spirit's possession of its body officially began.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The guinea pig demon tried to take back his demon body, but it was obviously too late.

Losing the sea of ​​consciousness is equivalent to losing the home advantage, becoming a lonely ghost or a wild monster, unable to even return to the body!
A small, gray guinea pig demon soul was squeezed out directly from above the heads of the three bandits.

The guinea pig demon's soul was in a panic. Leaving its body was like a fish leaving water. Sooner or later it would be corroded and die by the outside world. Before it transformed into a spirit, any wind, rain, and sun exposure would cause harm to its soul.

It hurriedly controlled the essence and blood in its body, trying to use its induction to control the demon pill and turn the tables.

However, you don’t know until you feel it, and you’ll be shocked when you feel it!
After the three evil spirit brothers seized the sea of ​​consciousness and took over the body, they immediately began to plunder the essence and blood.

Ever since they met Lin Shan, they haven’t eaten meat for a long time. How could they resist such a godsend opportunity?
Just three breaths.

All the flesh and blood of the guinea pig demon was devoured, leaving only a piece of rat skin that swayed and fluttered in the wind.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The three evil spirits poked the rat skin with satisfaction, crawled out from it, and couldn't help burping.

"Hmm, comfortable~"

"I haven't felt this good in a long time~"

"As expected, the Jindan stage monsters are the ones who enjoy the food. I haven't enjoyed such delicious food many times in the Aurora Sea before."

With the three brothers' strength at the bottom of the Jindan stage, it would be extremely difficult to kill someone of the same level unless they launch a sneak attack.

They were quite sensible at this moment, and used the black mist to carry the mouse skin back to Lin Shan, looking like fawning lackeys.

Lin Shan took the light rat skin, and this time the enhanced panel responded again.

【Guinea Pig Demon Skin】

Quality: Fourth-level material

Introduction: The skin of a guinea pig monster in the Jindan stage can be used to refine soft armor and draw talismans.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

"."

Lin Shan dragged the rat skin with a look of pain on his face.

You can tell that the material is very ordinary just by touching it. Even if it is made into a piece of soft armor by a weapon refiner and a huge amount of money is spent, the effect is probably not that good and it cannot withstand a few blows from magic weapons.

He doesn’t even know how to make talismans!
However, it is a fourth-rank spiritual material after all, so I’ll put it away first.

At this time, Lin Shan thought of something again. While fighting with the bloody demon spirit, he looked at the three evil spirit brothers.

"Where's the demon pill?"

The demon core in the body of a demon beast is only found in the Golden Core Stage. It can not only be used as medicine to make pills and assist in the practice of specific skills and secret techniques, but can also drive formations, drive demon puppets, feed other spirit beasts and demon beasts to improve their cultivation, etc. It is even hard currency at some high-end cultivators' trade fairs!

Lin Shan is also looking forward to this.

However, the three evil spirits looked at each other, and none of them dared to look at Lin Shan with their small green eyes.

"I'm asking you a question?"

Lin Shan's face darkened and he was filled with murderous intent.

The evil spirit quickly passed the buck: "Master, it's none of my business. Huo and Ru shared the food. I only ate the flesh and blood, and didn't touch the demon pill!"

The evil spirits Huo and Ru were furious and immediately joined forces to blame the demon: "Sir, don't listen to what this villain said. It was clearly it that stole the food and ate it all by itself. We haven't even seen the demon pill!"

At this time, the guinea pig demon on the opposite side couldn't help but howled at the three evil spirits.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The three evil spirit brothers were speechless and lowered their heads obediently. The victim personally pointed them out and they had no way of making excuses.

"boom!"

A ball of black and green magic fire exploded, burning the three evil brothers into a mess.

"Useless! Why did I keep you here? How dare you touch my spoils of war?"

Lin Shan took ruthless action and urged the Netherworld Ghost Fire to burn the three traitors fiercely. Evil spirits are evil spirits, their evil nature is difficult to tame, they will obey orders but not words. Do you really think he is easy to talk to?
It's clear that he needs discipline!
The guinea pig spirit on the opposite side saw that the enemy was engaged in an internal conflict after being identified by it, and immediately tried to slip away quietly.

The three evil spirits were still crying and screaming.

"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again!"

"We were blinded by our own greed and made a huge mistake. Sir, please give us another chance!"

"That evil spirit is about to take this opportunity to escape, and we can use this opportunity to atone for our sins!"

……

Lin Shan glanced and saw that the guinea pig demon soul had indeed abandoned its tribe and planned to escape into the forest.

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you chase me?!"

As the ghost fire of the underworld was subsided, the three evil spirits quickly got up and turned into three black shadows and flew into the forest.

Lin Shan ignored that and focused on dealing with the blood-colored demon spirit in front of him. This kind of thing completely relied on the group of demons below for support, and he would consume it to death sooner or later.

As for the Jindan stage demon soul, if the three evil spirit brothers still cannot catch it back for him, then there is no need to keep them.

……

Midnight is past.

Mr. Bei was guarding the exit of the empty thorny forest, with the demon soldiers behind him lying on the ground densely packed. He waited and waited, but there was no sign of the Yuanlu Demon King coming.

Instead, the noise in the forest became louder and louder, gradually transmitted through layers of echoes.

After a while, the scouts in front returned.

Mr. Bei just learned that the Kuihu Demon King had already started fighting with the Yuanlu Demon King. The battlefield covered the front and middle sections of the Jingqi forest, stretching for more than a hundred miles. One side wanted to retreat while the other was struggling, and the scene was extremely tense.

Mr. Bei then realized that something was wrong. Although he didn't know why the Demon King Kuihu did not launch a surprise attack at the agreed time and place, things had come to this point and he could no longer sit back and watch both sides suffer losses.

"Send the order, mobilize the troops!"

"Hua Hua Hua~~~"

All the Voldemorts around the dense forest stood up and followed Mr. Wolf deeper into the thorn forest, and the rolling torrent disappeared into the darkness.

……

At this moment, the Kuihu Demon King, who was fighting with the Yuanlu Demon King, was now becoming more and more furious with rage brewing in his heart!
At the agreed time of midnight, Jingqilin entered the city and attacked from both sides.

It’s already past midnight!

Mr. Bei, where are you?
