Chapter 358: Using snakes to catch centipedes(1/2)
"The little girl is very smart, but she dares to go into the forest to talk?"
Xiao Yue heard the sound and quickly looked around. There was nothing wrong with the others. Obviously, they did not hear this sentence.
Her first reaction was to be nervous, worried that she was being targeted by bad people.
But then I thought about it, the other party could send messages to her without anyone noticing, so it should be very easy to harm her. There are not many powerful characters in this team, so no one can protect her.
In this case, it is better to give it a bold try. Whether it is calamity or fate, you will only know after seeing it.
Xiao Yue tightened the dagger in her sleeve, hiding it from the eyes and ears of everyone. After not walking far, she saw a vast whiteness all around her, as if she was trapped in clouds and mist.
In front of her stood a handsome young man in white clothes. Wasn't he the immortal who slayed demons last night?
Xiao Yue was overjoyed. She didn't expect to meet Lin Yi in this place, but Lin Yi took the initiative to ask her to come and meet.
She immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you sir for your grace in life."
Lin Yi was secretive and pretending to be a ghost. Originally, he just wanted to make his image more elusive. Unexpectedly, the princess actually bowed her head and worshiped, and Lin Yi was caught off guard.
He was not used to this kind of gift, so he quickly sent a breeze to help Xiao Yue up.
"No need to be polite, it was Shi Yu who saved you, not me."
Xiao Yue still insisted on thanking him: "If it weren't for my husband to slay demons and demons, we people here wouldn't be able to survive. You deserve this great gift."
How could Xiao Yue not know at this time that this was her opportunity, and no amount of respect could be too much.
Judging from Lin Yi's attitude of slaying demons, he is not a bad person. He just said that she was smart and asked her to meet her in the forest. If he didn't want to give her a chance, wouldn't it be unnecessary?
She's ready.
Seeing this, Lin Yi also appreciated Xiao Yue a little more.
Courageous, resourceful, and courteous, it can be said that the three apprentices he had accepted earlier were all inferior to this princess in terms of character.
Lin Yi suddenly had a love for talents. Different from the previous apprentices he accepted due to various reasons, this one was the disciple he really wanted to join.
Originally, he planned to speak directly, but now he wanted to add a few more tests.
After Lin Yi thought about it for a while, he had several test methods in his mind. The first one that came to mind was to pretend to be bad and coerce her into committing himself to see how she behaves.
But suddenly he thought that when Qu Jing tested him, she didn't dare to use a beauty trap.
If I become a master and apprentice in the future, looking back on this kind of test, it will be really embarrassing.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"Juniors don't know."
Xiao Yue claimed to be a junior, and Lin Yi was helpless. Although his cultivation level was high, he was still young, so he was called old by these people.
But there is no way, this is probably the case in this era.
"I want to accept you as my disciple, are you willing?"
"Junior is willing!"
Xiao Yue was overjoyed. She thought that if such a senior passed by, he would at most give her a chance, but she didn't expect that she would accept him as her disciple.
Practitioners generally don't like to accept people who are too closely involved with the court as disciples. This is what her father said. She didn't expect that Lin Yi actually wanted to accept her. Of course she had no reason to refuse.
"Don't be too quick to be happy. If you want to be my apprentice, you still need to go through some tests."
"Senior, please speak."
"Tonight, I will attack and kill the monsters in the city. Last night I killed the general of the army, but there was no trouble in the army. I think it was the suppression by the county guard here.
I can help you deal with him easily, and the rest depends on your luck. If you can successfully capture Hanzhong County, you can become my fourth disciple."
Xiao Yue was overjoyed after hearing this. Everything before was just speculation. Now that Lin Yi is sure of it, she has a better chance of winning.
"Thank you, senior. I will not let you down, junior."
Xiao Yue bowed again and was confident. Lin Yi nodded with a smile and took out a sword from the cloud bag.
This was one of the trophies he gained from slaying demons. What Lin Yi picked was just a relatively powerful sword that could be used by mortals. It was always easier to use than ordinary weapons.
"Use this sword first. I hope you can use it to kill evil and save the world."
"Thank you, senior..."
Xiao Yue lowered her head to receive the sword, but when she raised her head and wanted to speak, Lin Yi had disappeared.
Despite this, Xiao Yue was still happy.
Lin Yi saw that the situation on Xiao Yue's side was basically stable, and he could settle down and do his own things.
He opened his eyes and searched around the mountains, and finally saw a snake demon.
This snake demon has not yet transformed, but it already has a strange appearance.
With its white triangular head and black body with several red spots, it must be a venomous snake.
However, there was no sin on this demon. Lin Yi checked it with the demon subduing chart and found that it was very clean.
It is probably because the time to become a demon is short, I don’t have much cultivation, and I have been in the mountains all year round. I haven’t seen anyone for a long time. I am not smart enough and I have never thought about going out to harm people. Therefore, I have retained the habit of snakes and my food is still rats in the mountains.
Birds and the like.
When Ji Yi appeared in front of it and only showed his breath slightly, it was so frightened that it coiled up and spit out snake letters, clearly warning Ji Yi not to get close.
This thing actually has some spirituality.
Ji Yi was originally afraid of snakes, even non-venomous snakes, let alone venomous snakes.
But after being tortured by Bai Lianxian several times, his fear of snakes has improved to some extent.
It can be seen that the best way to eliminate fear is to face it head-on.
"It's not easy for you to develop spiritual intelligence, so I won't kill you. However, if you do something for me, I will give you a chance. How about it?"
Lin Yi took out Bai Lianxian's fang and placed it in front of the little snake demon. Although the little snake demon was not very intelligent, he knew it was a good treasure.
For a little monster like it, seeing the poisonous fangs of the Demon King is a great blessing.
The little snake demon didn't understand human language, but it understood what Lin Yi said and what he wanted to convey.
It spit out the message, not as excited as before, and seemed to be asking what it wanted to do.
"I want you to help me lure a centipede out. Of course, I will protect your life and not put you in danger. After that, I will teach you a righteous way to practice. How about it?"
The little snake demon was moved.
It didn't know how powerful the centipede that Ji Yi wanted to lure was. It instinctively felt that it was a good thing due to the righteous way of cultivation.
The practice of monsters is often simple and crude. Except for some strange beasts that can have inherited memories, most of them eat the essence of the sun and the moon day after day, and the progress of practice is very slow.
If you can have serious exercises, you will definitely make great progress with each passing day.
It nodded.
Ji Yi then shrunk the fang and let it hold it.
Just the breath of a small poisonous snake may not be able to attract the Centipede Demon King, but with the poisonous fangs of Bai Lianxian, it will be different.
Moreover, according to folklore, centipedes defeat snakes and feed on snakes. It is thought that this double superimposed aroma can make the centipede demon king unable to stop.
Bai Lianxian's venomous fangs can be big or small, and can be transformed into the size of ordinary snake teeth, allowing the little snake demon to hold it in its mouth without fear of hurting it.
Lin Yi captured it and took it outside Hanzhong County and began to wait for it.
Yuebai Guangming Buddha didn't know that Lin Yi had seen his reinforcements and set a trap. He was also waiting for Lin Yi to come to him.
He is in a very good mood now. Chen Nan came to visit earlier and the two of them had a very happy conversation. The two parties were interested in making peace. Xiao Zhao was able to get help, and the Moon White Guangming Buddha also gave Thousand Buddha Temple an opportunity to infiltrate the Southern Dynasty.
As long as he dealt with Lin Yi, he could start preparing for missionary work in the Southern Dynasties.
He can sit still when happy events happen, but the Hundred-footed Demon King is restless.
If you want him to fight easily and stay in one place and be a tortoise, he can't do it.
From noon to sunset, he was already very irritable.
Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and said, "This little thief doesn't know when he will come. I'm going out for a walk."
Zhiyan Pluto glanced at him and said, "What if that person comes to attack you after you leave? Or, what if he kills you first while you are alone?"
These words angered the Centipede Demon King.
"Do you think I'm a waste like you? If that guy dares to come to me, I will cut him open and eat him alive!"
The Centipede Demon King was very confident in his own strength, and Zhiyan Pluto was also very angry. Even though he warned himself not to argue with fools, he still couldn't help but get angry and wanted to kill the centipede.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Yuebai Guangming Buddha quickly intervened and said: "Two fellow Taoists, don't argue. Fellow Taoist Zhiyan is right. However, if fellow Taoist Baizu is bored, it will definitely be fine if he goes out for a walk.
Even though that person has a good level of cultivation, he can't do anything to any of us in a short period of time, so he just needs to be careful and it'll be fine."
With the help of these two people, the matter can be considered cleared up.
The centipede demon king was too lazy to argue anymore, snorted coldly, and went out.
There were three of them present, but no one really felt how dangerous it was to separate the troops.
The Moon White Light Buddha understands the Hundred-legged Demon King.
