Chapter 476 A Pangolin
The important town of Blackwater.
After completing the task of suppressing bandits, Wu Chong led a group of brothers back to the city. As soon as they entered the city, they saw a white fox skin hanging at the gate of the city, and a bald monk chanting sutras there.
"It's the master of Guangyuan Temple, except for a monster that has blended into our human society."
Seeing Wu Chong looking over, the brother beside him opened his mouth to explain.
They are all brothers who have been through fire and sword together, and the love they have for each other is beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
"Sure enough, human society cannot be too dissolute."
Looking at the white fox skin hanging there, Wu Chong thought silently.
The demonic power emanating from the white fox's skin is at least a hundred years old. Although it may not be able to defeat him, the method of hiding it is definitely not bad. He was still caught by someone to "subjugate demons and eliminate demons". It can be seen that human beings The degree of danger in the core area. In the final analysis, the mainstream of this world is still controlled by humans, and it is still humans who occupy the central area.
"Let's go for a walk and have a drink. Is there anything good to see about slaying demons?"
Wu Chong led a group of brothers to the tavern where they usually drink. It's better to stay away from this kind of human monk who likes to subdue demons and wait until he can restrain his demonic aura before coming here again.
Over there, the young monk who was chanting sutras raised his head and glanced at the backs of Wu Chong and others in confusion.
"Evil spirit?"
He originally wanted to go over and test it out, but after seeing the military uniforms on Wu Chong's group, he gave up the idea.
'Forget it, the imperial court is in ruins and the world is in chaos with monsters and monsters. It is not my own power that can save it. What I can do is what I can see.' Thinking of this, the monk continued to close his eyes and read the scriptures.
The demon-removing ceremony has been going on for half a month.
Half a month later, the monk left with the fox skin, but the expected scene of luring the demon out of the cave did not appear.
After the monk left, Wu Chong led a group of brothers to start an ordinary and boring life again.
In addition to suppressing bandits every day, I eat and drink, but I don't know what's going on in the world. The more bandits are suppressed, the more bandits are suppressed. The bandit-suppressing general who promoted him at the beginning also died in a large-scale water village's bandit-suppressing battle, and his brothers who were in the same squad also continued to lose their numbers in battle after battle. In the end, he was the only one left.
Three years have passed, and Wu Chong's demon power has become much more refined. His demon power has increased to thirty years. With the help of active practice and occasional additions, his strength has steadily improved, and there is no so-called bottleneck.
The new general had long forgotten his role, and slowly disappeared into the team, becoming a veteran.
In the army of the old era, especially in war-torn times, personnel changes were frequent and unimaginable.
The newly joined soldiers would also gather around him and ask him questions.
Wu Chong would also answer with a smile, and then take them to drink.
He became a veteran and became the leader of the team.
After completing the task of suppressing bandits that day, Wu Chong and his brothers had a drink and said goodbye to everyone. He staggered back to his residence alone. As soon as he opened the door, the drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly.
"have a guest?"
Wu Chong squinted at the stranger sitting in the yard. Although the stranger did not speak, Wu Chong could clearly see the evil spirit surrounding him.
This is a monster who, like himself, uses the art of transformation to blend into human society.
"I've been observing you for three whole years, and you haven't fulfilled the contract you signed with the mountain demon once in these three years."
The man sitting in the yard raised his head and looked at Wu Chong, with a ferocious look on his face. Under his face, the shadow of a pangolin flashed away.
'pangolin? There is a high probability that they were sent by the mountain demon to keep an eye on him. ’
Wu Chong closed the door and walked into the courtyard.
We are all monsters, and it would definitely be more convenient to talk about some things behind closed doors.
"Why would the mountain demon choose you for someone like you?"
"You came to me just to talk about this?"
Wu Chong promised the mountain demon to help him find someone, but that was by the way. He is not the other person's dog, so he cannot serve the other person wholeheartedly. It is in line with his values to help him while doing his own thing well.
"It's not convenient here. Come with me out of the city."
The pangolin stood up and wrapped his black robe skillfully.
Wu Chong didn't hesitate and followed closely.
Both of them are monsters, so their speed is naturally not slow. The guard at the door is useless to them.
After a while, the two left the Blackwater town.
In the forest, the chirping insects all became silent due to the arrival of the two monsters, and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that were secretly preying on them also crawled down. The pressure from the monsters made the entire forest quiet.
"I have served the mountain demon for many years. I thought he would choose me."
The pangolin landed on a big rock, exuding a dark purple evil spirit. The aura soaring to the sky bent the surrounding vegetation! This is a monster with four hundred years of cultivation. It is still one hundred years away from being able to take the initiative to transform into a big monster with a name.
"But in the end he told me that you are more suitable than me."
As he spoke, the human skin on the pangolin's face was broken like paper, revealing the ferocious face of the monster underneath.
"I want to know what this so-called suitability actually means."
"You're talking nonsense, don't you just want a fight?"
Wu Chong waved his hand, and a huge pumpkin hammer appeared in his hand. Now that he has thirty years of demon power, he can make the pumpkin hammer smaller and hang it on his waist.
Uh-huh!
The two figures disappeared at the same time, and the pangolin's thick demonic aura directly wrapped around its claws, splitting the air. Not only that, the shadow behind him also made the exact same action, swinging his claws once and attacking twice. The sound of wind and sonic boom could be heard in the front one, but the shadow behind him was completely silent, as if it didn't exist.
The pangolin's movements are very strange, and its demonic power is also very powerful.
Wu Chong expected that the four-hundred-year-old monster would have some tricks, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of power. If the powerful enemies he has encountered since arriving in this world are first-level monsters, then this pangolin is a second-level monster!
The pumpkin hammer that Wu Chong attacked was powered up again, and when the hammer hit the surface, a sonic boom appeared in the air.
The other hand is constantly lifting another pumpkin hammer and striking it with its claws.
Bang!
The confrontation between the two ended immediately.
Wu Chong's pumpkin hammer struck the pangolin's right arm, bending his arm bones. During the process, the pangolin showed an expression of disbelief, as if doubting this power beyond normal logic.
The claw strike of the other hand was also successfully blocked by the pumpkin hammer.
The actual attack was blocked, but the phantom penetrated through, passing by like a spring breeze, without even touching Wu Chong.
But the fish scales on his chest suddenly exploded with four sparks struck by sharp claws, and the brutal demon power actually penetrated the fish scales, leaving four shallow wounds on his chest.
"What kind of attack is this?"
Wu Chong felt awe-struck. In their first fight, neither of them took advantage.
The pangolin knew that he was powerful, and he also knew that the pangolin's attacks were strange.
After touching the wound, Wu Chong showed a strange look on his face.
He discovered a problem.
This pangolin seems to have a higher agility, but its attack is slightly lacking. The attack that hit him head-on with such a good opportunity only scratched a layer of his skin.
