My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Jiang Li and Uncle Jiu did not directly participate in the sacrifice. Due to his high level of cultivation, Uncle Jiu was afraid of being noticed by the snake demon.

Although Jiang Li's cultivation level is not high, he now has strong luck and is also very conspicuous in front of these spirits who accept offerings and follow the path of gods.

So none of them came forward, but just hid quietly in the crowd.

At this time, the villagers had already beaten gongs and drums and placed the offerings on the altar, but they did not stop. Instead, they continued to hold some bamboo tubes and wooden stakes, repeatedly poking the ground to make muffled sounds.

They also sang a strange song under the organization of the elders.

After an hour of tossing and turning, Uncle Jiu suddenly turned his head towards the river and said, "Here it comes, the evil spirit is very strong!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately looked towards the river and saw a wave of water rushing rapidly towards the shallows of the river bank. Soon, a huge black snake with a strong demonic aura emerged from the water.

Its body is as thick as a bucket, and its length is even more astonishing, probably over ten meters.

The black snake's scales reflected a metallic glow, and everyone could clearly hear a rustling sound as the snake's body rubbed against the ground.

It crawled to the edge of the altar, raised half of its body and head high, and its eyes revealed indifference and dominance.

With the appearance of the giant black snake, the noisy crowd had already quieted down. The elder shouted, "Welcome the Black Water Dragon King!"

All the villagers at the scene knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and Jiang Li and Uncle Jiu immediately curled up and squatted on the ground when they saw this. As for the Taoist soldiers, when they saw Jiang Li kneeling, they also knelt on the ground.

Unfortunately, their exaggerated muscles make them look like a big ball of meat.

But at this moment, the Black Water Dragon King's attention was not on the crowd. It had not eaten tribute for more than a month and was already starving.

So he ignored the villagers and swallowed six chickens, six ducks, a sheep and a pig one by one.

As for the fact that they were clearly alive but did not struggle at all, it ignored it.

Jiang Li squatted in the crowd, looking at the huge size of the snake and felt a little regretful. If he had known it was so big, he should have asked Asan to get all the anesthetics from the medical team.

Now the snake demon has eaten it, but he can't guarantee whether it will be effective or how effective it will be.

After eating the offerings, the snake demon did not leave immediately, but sent a message to everyone present, "You did not offer sacrifices a few days ago, so I only overturned your boat to teach you a lesson. If it happens again, it won't be so easy next time!"

Upon hearing this, the village elders immediately kowtowed and responded, "Dragon King, please forgive me. It is not that we are not doing our best. It is because we suffered from the war and could not raise the tribute, so we have been delayed in honoring the Dragon King. I hope you will bear with us for a while!"

"Don't try to quibble. You said you were in trouble. What about the tribute this time? Can you fatten a pig or sheep in just a few days?"

"I am warning you. If it happens again, I will let you see the might of a dragon!"

Seeing that the snake demon had misunderstood, the village elder immediately explained, "The Dragon King is atoning for his sins, I am not making excuses, everything I said before is true."

"We were able to collect all these tributes this time thanks to the sponsorship of a wealthy businessman. Otherwise, I don't know when our village would be able to collect enough tributes!"

The snake demon was furious when he heard this. "Asshole, how many times have I told you not to publicize my existence? How dare you ignore my words? Are you looking for death?"

The village elder was terrified when he saw the snake demon getting angry, and he immediately explained in a hurry, "It was not us who asked the Dragon King to calm down, but the rich businessman himself brought his servants to find us. We only agreed to his request when we saw that we were unable to gather the tribute!"

As he spoke, the village elder raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Li.

When Jiang Li saw this scene, he immediately felt something was wrong. He wanted to wait for the anesthetic to take effect before taking action, but now it seems that he can no longer wait.

So he immediately got up, shouted "take action", then took out the golden cudgel from his storage bag and rushed straight towards the snake demon.

Upon hearing this, a dozen or so Taoist soldiers nearby immediately took out the demon-suppressing talismans that Uncle Jiu had distributed in advance and stuck them on their bodies.

Then he rushed forward holding the grappling hook, rope, net and lightning bronze sword, chanting the Golden Light Mantra.

As soon as Uncle Jiu heard what the village elder said, he prepared talismans in secret. When Jiang Li shouted, he immediately stood up, made some hand gestures, and shot several demon-suppressing talismans at the snake demon.

The snake demon was huge and defenseless, so it had no way to hide and was hit by several demon-suppressing talismans.

As soon as these demon-suppressing talismans came into contact with the snake demon's body, they immediately stuck to it like glue.

In fact, the snake demon felt something was wrong when it saw the direction the village elder was pointing, because Jiang Li's aura was too strong, and it knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.

But before it could react, it was hit by several talismans. The demonic power in its body suddenly stagnated. It felt something was wrong and turned around to escape.

But at this time Jiang Li had already come to its side, using the Xuanjia skill and raising his stick to hit the black snake hard. His copper stick weighed thirty kilograms.

With the help of eight hundred kilograms of strength and the blessing of magic power, the snake demon was beaten so hard that it lost its breath, and the demonic energy in its body could no longer circulate everywhere.

But it endured the pain and swung its tail towards Jiang Li. The tail came so fast that he couldn't dodge at all, and he could only block it with the stick.

But the snake demon's tail was like a whip. Although he raised his stick to block it, the back half still went around the copper stick and hit his back.

It was over ten meters long and weighed more than a thousand kilograms. Although it had some magical power, its physical strength alone was enough to send Jiang Li flying four or five meters.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had a strong body and was protected by the Xuanjia Gong. Although he felt a burning pain on his back, he was not seriously injured. He stood up and was about to attack again.

It seems like a lot when it is said, but he and the snake demon only had one encounter, and at this time Uncle Jiu and the Taoist soldiers had just arrived.

The Taoist soldiers used their strange weapons and kept throwing them at it in an attempt to control it, but the snake monster's scales were like iron, and its claws and steel forks could not penetrate its defense at all.

The ropes and magic nets could not bind its huge body. Only the demon-suppressing talismans that Uncle Jiu kept sticking in his hands could have some effect.

But it was only of some effect, because he and Jiang Li were planning to capture the snake demon alive, so it was not easy to use talismans and spells with high lethality. The demon-suppressing talisman could only suppress the evil spirit of the snake demon, but did not have much restriction on its physical body.

This snake demon had obviously practiced for many years, and his demonic aura was strong and his body was powerful. Even if he couldn't use his demonic power, he could still beat the Taoist soldiers to pieces with just his tail.

It opened its mouth and bit a Taoist soldier's shoulder. It tilted its neck to swallow him. At this time, a glowing stick hit it hard on the head, making it see stars.
