I can't be a demon.

Chapter 251 The opportunity is right in front of us
"Junior brother!!!"

Shen Lian's consciousness was in a trance, but he could still hear Sha Wujing's call, and suddenly realized that the so-called Panchang Mountain had arrived.

He couldn't help being a little nervous.

You know, Panchang Mountain is the entrance to the lair of the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant. In the past, with the succession of Tang emperors, at least tens of thousands of monsters were stationed there.

Shen Lian suppressed all distracting thoughts and called out his career panel in a half-asleep state.

[Do you want to spend 4 points to combine the Purple Palace Tempering Technique and the Great Harmony Sutra Dharma?]

"determine."

Shen Lian had a precedent of successfully obtaining the true scriptures and the magical method of refining weapons. A few days ago, the Datong True Scripture Buddhist Dharma was successfully promoted to perfection.

The Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Technique created a clear stream that surged in the Niwan Palace. With the presence of his soul, Shen Lian's dazed consciousness quickly returned to clarity.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and found that he was still walking.

There was no trace of Sha Seng and his disciples around, and there was no trace of the myna either. I wondered if it had followed Sha Wujing into the depths of the cave.

There was only a low mountain in front of me, which looked to be only two or three hundred meters high.

In the Yanshan area, similar mountains would only be called earth slopes.

"Panchang Mountain."

Panchang Mountain has sparse vegetation and stands out slightly in the endless Liusha River.

Shen Lian frowned slightly. The demonic aura in Panchang Mountain was very weak. There were a few old houses scattered on the mountainside, and it didn't seem like there were any big demons lurking around.

The only strange thing is that the mountain is covered with blank tombstones of various sizes.

The material of the tomb is like white bones, and each piece is different, as if it was really made from corpses, which is creepy.

"Logically speaking, there are at least seven cave forces in Lion Camel Ridge, so Panchang Mountain shouldn't be so deserted. Could it be..."

"I'm dreaming."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. According to Sha Wujing, the old elephant with yellow teeth was already half demon and half ghost, and the Buddhist kingdom in the dream was the transformation of taboos.

As to whether Panchang Mountain is also in the dream, it is still unknown.

On the way, Shen Lian asked Sha Wujing about the matters concerning Panchang Mountain.

Sha Wujing did not reply. After all, the old yellow-fanged elephant must have noticed that his two sworn brothers had been converted, and he would certainly make a last-ditch effort.

No one could foresee what kind of danger would arise in Lion Camel Ridge.

"There are footprints of Senior Brother Sha and the other two on the ground, but they disappeared once they entered Panchang Mountain. Could it be that they have already headed for the hinterland?"

While Shen Lian was thinking, a deafening roar came from the Quicksand River behind him.

Tornadoes appeared out of nowhere.

The frequent strange phenomena in the Liusha River indicate that Sha Wujing’s current situation is not peaceful.

Shen Lian no longer hesitated and headed towards the path leading to the mountain village. Staying on the outskirts of Panchang Mountain was definitely not a good choice.

The aftermath of Sha Wujing's leakage crushed him like an ant.

On the contrary, if Panchang Mountain was really a dream, the raging Quicksand River would not have harmed Panchang Mountain before the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant saved it.

"kindness?"

The moment Shen Lian stepped onto Panchang Mountain, his head tilted and his right foot left a deep hole, which was caused by his inability to control his strength freely.

His expression showed surprise and his brain became drowsy again.

The sixth consciousness is in early warning.

Once you really fall asleep, unspeakable dangers will definitely occur.

Shen Lian snorted coldly and secretly performed the Immortal Profound Art. The yellow sand in the sky penetrated into his flesh, blood and bones, and the severe pain came again.

"hiss……"

All the sleepiness was gone.

[The "Six-tusked White Elephant" occupation has been triggered, but the necessary conditions are missing and the job cannot be taken.]

Shen Lian looked back at the Liusha River.

If he was not mistaken, the speed of the tornado had slowed down, as if the inside and outside of Panchang Mountain were two different worlds.

"It's interesting. I have come to a dream that is so real that it is hard to tell the difference between a dream and a reality."

Shen Lian was not at all panicked.

All he had to do was wait until the old yellow-fanged elephant was converted, and he didn't have to face any danger at all.

Besides... Shen Lian glanced at the alchemy furnace, and the pills were ripening in batches. The most eye-catching one was the one transformed from the golden-winged Roc's feather.

"First, we need to find out the truth about Panchang Mountain."

The mountain road is rugged and you reach the end in just a few steps.

The village that came into view had been abandoned for a long time. There was no one in sight, and the houses were leaky on all sides, so it didn't look like anyone was living there.

Shen Lian noticed that there were a lot of tombstones in the village, about two or three hundred densely packed together.

"what."

He had not noticed before, but tombstones were popping up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but they only grew half a finger every few days.

"What are the rules of the Panchang Mountain Ghost Realm?"

He wanted to reach out and touch the tombstone, but he just moved closer and his eyes closed unconsciously.

The sleepiness in my heart is like a cancer attached to my bones.

"Damn it! We can't delay any longer, plant the dan fruit first."

Shen Lian staggered to the entrance of the village, and then a bird-beak-shaped fruit appeared in his palm, with golden lines flowing on the surface.

【Pengyu Fruit】

[Growing from the banyan tree, buried deep underground along with the cave medium, it will grow into a branch connected to the banyan tree.]

Pengyu Fruit naturally comes from the golden-winged Peng feather.

If the remaining two feathers are all thrown into the alchemy furnace, it is equivalent to the opportunity to actively choose three teleportation trees, and even go to extremely closed and remote caves, such as the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

"I need a medium..."

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I am always cursed by the old yellow-fanged elephant. The aura of my body and soul is different. Isn't it the best medium?"

Click click click.

An ivory tusk grew out of his mouth. He broke it off and threw it into a dry well on the side of the road along with the Pengyu Fruit.

There was no need to bury it. The teleportation tree began to take root and sprout. It was estimated that it would take three or four days. Facts proved that it was the biggest medium.

Shen Lian yawned.

Although he was still training in the quicksand, he was getting more and more sleepy. Suddenly, Shen Lian felt someone was watching him. He opened his eyes and found a skinny middle-aged man outside the village.

The middle-aged man was dressed in rags, and there was not a trace of demonic aura on his face.

He was covered in mud and no one knew where he had been hiding. He looked crazy and was holding a flag made of bed sheets in his hand.

"Hehehe, the king asked me to patrol the mountain~~"

"Xiao Zhuanfeng?"

The middle-aged man laughed crazily, waving and whispering continuously.

Rather than a demon, he is more like a hysterical lunatic, with strange behavior.

But he was in Lion Camel Ridge after all. Since the middle-aged man could survive in Panchang Mountain, it was very likely related to the arrangement of the old yellow-fanged elephant.

"The king asked me to patrol the mountain~~"

The middle-aged man yelled and screamed, imitating the posture of a wild beast.

Shen Lian did not act rashly. Everything in Panchang Mountain seemed strange and inexplicable.

As time passed, he became more and more sleepy. Although the teleportation tree was already half a meter high, the sleepiness became even stronger.

During this period, the middle-aged man worked tirelessly and patrolled the mountain every half a day.

Shen Lian was drowsy, but the pain alone was not enough to suppress his sleepiness, and stimulating his soul through the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique was of no help either.

"It should be able to last another half a day."

As soon as Shen Lian had this thought, he completely lost his sleepiness.

A trance.

He didn't know how long he had slept. It seemed like a hundred years, yet also like just a moment.

After waking up, Panchang Mountain underwent drastic changes.

Shen Lian saw that the altitude of Panchang Mountain had increased tenfold, and the dilapidated houses became brand new, but were covered with a thick layer of dust.

The village is still empty and all the tombstones are missing.

The demonic aura became stronger.

"I have come to a deeper state of dreams."

"So that's how it is. Panchang Mountain is probably a layered dream, and the deepest part is the lair of the old yellow-fanged elephant."

"Someone?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and found that the village was not without traces of other people.

There were several Yuandan alchemists hiding in the dark.

Shen Lian glanced and confirmed that the teleportation tree had also come to the second level of the dream, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He summoned the career panel, which still showed the message that the requirements for the Six-tusked Old Elephant career were insufficient, but the handwriting was obviously darker, indicating that as long as he went deep into the dream, he could meet the requirements.

Observing the details of Panchang Mountain with his eyes fixed on it, more and more details came into his mind.

"The speed of the tornado in the Quicksand River outside has slowed down a bit, which means that the speed of time in the dream is completely different. The speed of time in the first layer has slowed down by 30%, and the speed of time in the second layer has reached 60%."

“In the outside world, a breath, the old yellow-fanged elephant might have passed tens of millions of years?”

"What the hell is he doing?"

Shen Lian was facing a formidable enemy. While Sha Wujing was planning to convert the three demons, the only old elephant with yellow teeth who had not been imprisoned was also planning to escape.

"As expected, there is already a tombstone for me on the first level of the dream."

"With every level we go deeper, the tombstone will continue to rise. I don't know what kind of danger it will bring."

Shen Lian suddenly felt that there was a possibility that Sha Wujing might fail.

"No !!!!"

"If I stay in the shallow dream, I won't be able to react to anything unusual that happens in the deep dream. The difference in the speed of time between the two is too great."

Shen Lian stopped activating the Immortal Profound Art and took the initiative to seek sleep.

"The king asked me to patrol the mountain~~"

dong dong dong.

The crazy middle-aged man in the first dream changed drastically in the second dream. Not only did his body grow to over three meters, but there were also a lot of traces of demons on his body, and he was holding a flag.

The real Little Diamond Wind has been practicing Taoism for about a thousand years.

Xiao Zuanfeng leaned over and walked into the village, sniffing the scent of strangers. There were a few pieces of meat at the corners of his mouth, and his greedy expression was beyond words.

"The King asked me to come..."

Xiao Zuanfeng turned around and saw that Shen Lian had come to his side without him knowing when.

"You smell so good, I want to taste you."

Whoosh.

The bone spine was smashed hard, and Xiao Zuanfeng's head was shattered into pieces.

Several alchemists in the dark were horrified as they watched Shen Lian create suction from his mouth, and then the headless corpse disappeared.

Shen Lian became even more sleepy, so he retracted his white bony spine and fell backwards.

When I came to my senses, I was already in the third dream.

The third level of the dream was extremely noisy, and Panchang Mountain rose hundreds of meters higher.

Dozens of demons with more than 500 years of cultivation were busy in the village, drying the flesh and blood they had taken from an unknown monk.

Robes were made from human hair, flesh was spread on the walls, and the smell of blood was extremely pungent.

One can vaguely see that demons dressed as hunters are capturing alchemists all over the mountains. Even if they are not as strong as the alchemists, they are unscrupulous.

As soon as Shen Lian appeared, all the demons started talking about it.

"Another human-goat!"

"So strong."

"Hand over four pounds of leg meat and peel off two pieces of human skin, otherwise we will inform Master Xiao Zuanfeng and send you to the fourth-level cave."

Shen Lian showed murderous intent on his face, and the demons laughed.

"We can't be killed. If one of us is missing, we will fall into the fourth-level cave."

"Hand over your flesh and blood, and I will let you go free in the mountains."

Whoosh.

The white bone spine flashed by, and Shen Lian took the corpse and continued to go deeper into the cave.
