Immortal Road.

Chapter 468: Scraping the Bone to Treat the Poison, Who is the Traitor?

The group walked for most of the day, crossing all kinds of dangerous terrains without any hindrance, and finally came to a cold pond that was as black as ink.

This cold pond is indeed a pond. It is not very large, about ten acres in area, and is backed by a cliff.

Both the cliff and the other three sides are lush and green, and the black cold pond in the middle seems out of place.

The three people and one demon did not act carelessly this time, but approached slowly and carefully.

Even though I didn't encounter any danger before, all kinds of opportunities came one after another, and I fought a battle of wits and courage with the air for so long.

But they all remembered in their hearts that this was the Dark Swamp, the habitat of the Demon King!

People can be adventurous, but they cannot be without awe.

The arrogant will eventually fall into a ditch one day. This is a lesson learned since ancient times and we must be on guard against it.

Arriving at the edge of the black pool, the three of them looked at Brother Ji together.

Brother Ji walked around the edge in small steps, scratched his head with his wings, and after comparing it with the map in his memory, he nodded affirmatively.

"That should be correct. This is the Demon King's Cave, the center of the Dark Swamp."

The three of them looked at the black pool hesitantly. It was as thick as ink, lying there quietly without any ripples, just a pool of stagnant water.

"If we come over here, will the demon king not be able to sense it?"

Brother Ji shook his head uncertainly.

"Are you too lazy to pay attention to us?"

Lin Shan was also very confused.

Lin Fan strode out with a confident look on his face, and glanced at the three cowards with a desperate courage.

"Maybe it's sleeping now, we can just wake it up, why should we be afraid?"

"Now that we have come this far, we can't just sit here and wait until eternity has passed because we are too scared to disturb the demon king."

"The elders of the sect are eagerly waiting in the back, how can we shrink back and move forward!"

Lin Shan could see that Lin Fan's hands were trembling slightly. In fact, he was very scared inside, but he had the bad habit of "showing off in front of others" since he was a child.

In addition, now that he has the support of justice and the confidence in the aura of luck, he actually gritted his teeth and stood up!

"Don't show off yet"

Before he could finish, Lin Fan had already shouted loudly.

"Senior Skeleton Crocodile Demon King, I, the junior Lin Fan, would like to meet you. Please show yourself!"

The shout was so loud that it shook the mountains and the earth. Lin Shan was startled suddenly, his shoulders shrugged, and he couldn't help but shrink his head.

"Hua la la la~~~"

Countless birds in the surrounding mountains and forests were startled and flew into the sky.

Countless leaves rustled, and patches of sunlight on the ground swayed and flickered, like scattered gold.

There was no movement in the black pool.

When I turned around, I saw Brother Ji and Yumuzi hugging each other, trembling and shaking.

"Is it that serious?"

Lin Fan didn't know what to say to them. Why did they enter the dark swamp with such a cowardice? Wouldn't it be better for them to go home and feed their child?

Turning to look at Lin Shan again, he found that he was just pale but still calm, and couldn't help but nod in praise.

"As expected of our Lin family, this is real courage!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"If you don't take the initiative to call, are you waiting for the demon king to come and greet you?"

"I, Lin Fan, can achieve what I have today because of my hard work!"

"As the saying goes, fortune and luck are to be enjoyed with one's life, and opportunities are to be fought for with one's life. Do you know why I am called the Taoist Master Fu Lu?"

"Watch this and learn from it!"

Without waiting for the other three to react, he made a big noise again.

But this time he not only shouted, but also took action!
"Puff~"

A large rock was thrown into the pool, causing high splashes of water. Ripples began to spread, and one could vaguely feel that there seemed to be a huge breath reviving below.

Lin Shan couldn't help but shrink his head again.

That is the cave where the demon king lives. You really dare to do that. Even if you want to complete the mission so much, you can't be so brave, right?
Needless to say, Brother Ji and Yumuzi, after finally separating, jumped up and hugged each other again.

He was so scared that he was trembling with fear, thinking that Lin Fan was simply courting death!

Seeing that he still couldn't call out the Demon King the second time, Lin Fan felt a little annoyed and hesitant.

He just wanted to call out the Demon King, not really wanting to anger him.

But this can't be called out.
I gritted my teeth and looked at the three cowards behind me. How long would I have to wait passively?
And there is no better way right now.
He simply rubbed a thunder ball the size of a human head in his hand, and lightning made crackling sounds from it.

"No!"

This frightened the three people behind him, and they quickly reached out to stop him.

But it’s still a step too late!
"Bang! Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~"

The thunder ball fell into the pond, splashing water all over the sky, and a cloud of water vapor rose directly.

The entire black pool was electrified by the strong lightning, and was immediately covered with tiny silver-white snakes, covering every corner like a big net.

“Roar!~~~”

A terrifying and dull roar came directly from the bottom of the pond.

The huge aura was completely revived, and the cold murderous intent instantly locked onto the three people and one demon. The violent demon consciousness scanned over them with naked anger.

"Who?"

"who is it?"

"Are you sick and discharging electricity in the water?"

"Who is so bold? Show me!"

A crocodile skeleton that is more than ten feet long, without a trace of flesh and blood on its body, except for the burning soul fire in its head. It looks like an undead creature and has nothing to do with the demon clan at all!
But Lin Shan and the others immediately had the answer in their minds:
Skeleton crocodile demon king!

No matter whether he is a demon or not, or whether he is a demon king or a ghost king, he is definitely in the Nascent Soul stage!

I was still irritated by that brat Lin Fan.

Did he really think that the luck aura and the chance to pick up treasures could have an impact on creatures in the Nascent Soul stage? Was he too naive?

Lin Fan was also confused when he saw this hideous skeleton crocodile, which looked no different from a living fossil. It rose from the dark pool, with black water still dripping from its skeleton, like a monster.

The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King was still roaring angrily. Anyone who was sleeping soundly, ignoring the world for decades, would be unable to help but jump up and down if suddenly woken up.

Ordinary people get grumpy when they just wake up, let alone the Nascent Soul Demon King?
"Who? Who was it? Who of you released the electricity?"

The Skeleton Crocodile King was electrocuted until he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, his whole body was paralyzed, and he looked like he was ready to eat people if he didn't agree with him!
Lin Shan, Yumuzi, and Ji Ge couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back to show that they didn't do such a wicked thing.

Lin Fan was already stunned, standing alone beside the tank, his entire body soaked by the black water.

He looked left and right and felt that it was just a skeleton, not at all like a demon king. It was clearly a skeleton king.

If we really abduct this guy to Zixiao Sect, when the Yuanying elders and other seniors see him, they might kill him without saying a word and defend the way!

What kind of underworld creature dares to come to Zixiao Sect? He suddenly felt a little regretful. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to the Dark Swamp!

In fact, it’s not that Brother Ji didn’t remind you on purpose. Skeleton Crocodile King, I’ve clearly told you the name, but you still rushed over. Who can you blame?

Didn’t Yumuzi think about it in that direction?

In fact, Lin Shan didn't expect this to happen.

They were hesitating here, but the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King locked onto Lin Fan at first sight.

It stretched out its huge bony claws and pointed at the human with its fingertips.

"Little guy, is it you? You are the one who disturbed the king?"

Lin Fan suddenly came back to his senses with a start, thinking that something was not right, but he still reacted quickly and gave a response.

For a true disciple of a major sect, the first step to take when encountering danger outside is to introduce oneself.

This is normal.

If we have big trees that can be moved and used, it would be a waste if we don’t use them.

Most forces and enemies will give some face to you and show some fear to a certain extent. This tactic has been proven to be effective time and time again.

Didn’t you see that during the Demon King Conference, Yumuzi broke in directly, and didn’t the Jianjia Demon King give him a way to survive?

This is the reputation of Zixiao Sect in the Song Dynasty!

It was once the most righteous one, and its value is known to everyone.

However, sometimes you have to distinguish between people, not to mention between monsters.

The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King was originally a descendant of the demon crocodile. Later, his body was poisoned and he had to "scrape his bones to cure the poison."

As the name suggests, if you want to scrape the bones, you must cut the flesh.

But what if all the bones in the body are poisoned?
Then cut off all the meat.
Thus, the mighty demon king turned into a skeleton. However, because the treatment of "scraping bones to cure poison" took a long time, the demon body could not recover after a long time, so it was fixed in this horrible shape.

This also led to it not wanting to show up in front of the monsters, so it didn't attend any monster conferences to avoid being laughed at by the monsters.

He became a solitary wild demon king who lived in seclusion and kept to himself.

The origin of this is very obscure, and few people in Luosong Mountains know about it. Only some old antiques know the whole story.

But how could these four youngsters in front of me know?
Lin Fan moved out of Zixiao Sect all of a sudden.

"Senior Demon King, I am Lin Fan, a disciple of Zixiao Sect. I have come here to deliver a letter in the name of my master. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you!"

He was smart enough to change the subject while moving out of the backstage.

I'm here to deliver a letter to you on behalf of Zixiao Sect. I'm just an errand boy. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the sect, not me.

However, the letter in his hand had already been received by the Jianjia Monster King at the monster conference.

Fortunately, Yumuzi also had a letter, which he asked for on the spot and presented to him with both hands raised above his head.

The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King was stunned. He actually thought that something big had happened and that it concerned him.

I didn't have time to investigate for the moment and quickly took it out to read.

After watching one side, I realized that the Zixiao Sect was in a tight situation on the front line and discovered that the monsters from the Yanyun Mountains had joined the war, so they requested the monster king from the Luosong Mountains to send troops.

"For such a trivial matter, the leader of your Zixiao Sect came to me personally?"

"There are so many demon kings, big and small, in Luosong Mountains. Why are you looking for me?"

"Is he sick?"

"Peacock King, Reed Demon King, White Centipede Demon King. Which one is not good enough?"

Lin Fan smiled shyly and raised his head a little shyly.

"I have already looked for those demon kings, and they all said they would consider it. I thought it was no use waiting for them, so I went deep into the Dark Swamp to look for you!"

"Everyone in the world knows that the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King of the Dark Swamp is wise, far-sighted, heroic, and loyal!"

"I, Lin Fan, have seen countless people and monsters, but I have never seen such a hero!"

"It just so happened that I didn't meet the king at the Monster Assembly, so I came up with the idea of ​​coming to the Dark Swamp to meet the king in person and sincerely invite you to come out and save the country from collapse!"

"Save the people of the world from danger and keep the enemy out of the country!"

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

"As I wish!"

The Skeleton Crocodile King crushed the letter between his fingertips and roared wildly with his crocodile mouth open.

A force twelve gale suddenly blew up all around, spraying a gust of black water all over Lin Fan's head.

Even Lin Shan, Yumuzi and Ji Ge in the back were all disheveled in the wind, secretly sighing that Lin Fan was being too clever. Did Zixiao Sect really think this was the so-called "eloquence"?
Sending him on a diplomatic mission to the demon tribe would be completely counterproductive!

The Skeleton Crocodile King was furious. He really thought he was in trouble and for a moment he didn't have time to bother Lin Fan.

As a result, the leader of Zixiao Sect wrote a letter that was clearly intended to "cast a wide net". What does this have to do with a wild demon king like him?

“Don’t try to flatter me! Don’t think that I will let you go just because the Zixiao Sect is so powerful among the human race! Just because other demon kings don’t bother to touch you doesn’t mean I won’t!”

It took advantage of its bad mood after waking up and became more and more aggressive. Even if it offended the Zixiao Sect, what could it do? Did those humans really dare to invade its impregnable Dark Swamp?
impenetrable
Ok?
The Skeleton Crocodile King suddenly realized a problem.

wrong!

How did these four youngsters break through the numerous defenses and get to my side without any warning?

This is too outrageous!

At the fourth Jindan stage, he can touch the door of his own house and throw stones at the bed to discharge electricity. Is this reasonable?

Obviously unreasonable!

Unless there is a ghost!
"How did you get in without my permission?"

The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King did not take action, but was instead confused and wanted to understand why this scene was happening. It was too bizarre!

Fortunately, the four youngsters broke in quietly. If it was a Yuanying stage elder of the Zixiao Sect of the same level, wouldn't it be
No, I can't be reckless!
Lin Fan originally thought that he was going to be in trouble, but unexpectedly, the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King put away his killing intent and turned to torture him instead.

He immediately told the truth without any lies.

"We came here openly and honestly, without hiding our whereabouts. Everything we did was aboveboard and in accordance with the etiquette of a diplomatic visit. Please understand, Master Demon King!"

The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King didn't believe it at all.

Come in openly and honorably?
Who would believe it?
My Dark Swamp is full of murderous intent and danger. The entire Larch Mountains know that it is a dangerous place. It is well-known and renowned.

Do you think this is your back garden and you can come whenever you want?
"Young man, I advise you to tell the truth."

"Your Majesty, I am speaking the truth."

"are you joking around with me?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Lin Fan had a serious expression on his face, which looked so real that the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King almost believed it!

The key point is, this nonsense, when it looked at the other three companions behind this boy, it found that they all had the same expression.

Good guy!
Let's team up to play me, right?

Do you really think that I was fooled into growing up?!
The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King didn't waste any time talking to them. Instead, he got straight to the point and got to the point.

"Tell me, who is the mole?"
