Following the order from the Heavenly Gate Hook Snake, the demon leaped up. Hundreds of hook snakes that came out of the Dragon Pond roared excitedly, controlling all kinds of evil winds and soaring into the sky.
Above their heads was a crater several miles across, emitting hot black smoke. The surrounding mountain walls were like red-hot irons, reflecting the dazzling red color, like a huge furnace that had fallen from the sky.
Chen Yuan, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at the magma abyss below that was like the Avici Hell with his blue triangular snake pupils, and his pupils relaxed slightly.
Everything went smoothly without any accidents or noise. No demon even went to check the Dragon Pond. It seemed that no one in the Hook Snake Clan realized that their homes had been robbed!
He followed the group of snake demons all the way up to a huge platform about three miles away from the cave entrance. The platform was carved out of the mountain wall and was actually a square. Extending in all directions, various carved beams and painted buildings with demon characteristics were like murals of evil spirits, spreading out between the surrounding mountain walls.
As you glance around, you can see paper-white human skin lanterns hanging on the eaves, bells made of various skulls hanging from the footstools, and a hall paved with eerie white bones. If you look closely, you can see pairs of cold snake eyes emitting cold light from the window slits in the building.
This is the world of demons!
In the center of the square, there stood a huge hook snake statue carved from volcanic stone. In front of the snake head of the statue, there was a suspended platform floating on which a magic array was flickering. Under the statue, there were demonic shadows standing.
At this time, the Tianguan demon general with purple scales, a human face and a pointed mouth, and purple-gold barbed sickle hooks on his arms landed on the ground. His tall body stopped, and then he glanced at the messy group of snakes behind him. A trace of contempt and impatience flashed in his pupils.
"A bunch of uncivilized guys, they have been in the Dragon Pond for so long, don't they know how to transform?"
The hook snakes at the back made rumbling hissing sounds, as if they were a little afraid of the Heavenly Gate Demon General. Then, their scales flashed, and the huge bodies of the hook snakes coiled, expanded and shrank, rapidly changing into human forms.
But perhaps due to the limitation of their own blood purity, these snake demons have different transformations. Some have snake heads and human forms, with a hooked tail at the base of their buttocks and four sturdy legs, like an oversized humanoid lizard. Some have human faces with protruding fangs, and some have extremely long necks, like flying head monsters. Each one is strange and extremely hideous.
As for Chen Yuan, he could perform transformations effortlessly, but to be on the safe side, he observed the transformations of other snake monsters and wanted to choose one that was average. However, he found that they were all deformed and hideous, so he gave free rein to the art and randomly created one with a human face and green scales.
When Guan Gou Snake saw this that day, he seemed to think that this was acceptable. He nodded, and led a group of "extremely ferocious" demon shadows to gather towards the statue.
At this time, under the statue, there were hundreds of demonic shadows with mixed auras, most of which were similar to the group of demon soldiers selected by Chen Yuan.
“How’s this batch?”
Just when Chen Yuan mixed in with the group of monsters and came in front of the huge statue, suddenly, the hook snake statue's eyes suddenly opened, revealing white light, followed by a clicking sound. Its ferocious head tilted slightly, and a dull sound like a mountain roar came from inside.
The cold white light emitted from the pupils slowly fell on Chen Yuan and the group of selected tribesmen.
Chen Yuan, whose mind had just relaxed a little from the Dragon Pond, sensed the white light coming from the sculpture's eyes, which caused the hook snake blood in his body to jump slightly. His mind suddenly moved and he quickly suppressed it.
And at this moment, the white light that had originally swept across him suddenly turned back and fell on him again.
Then, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the huge hook snake statue began to move. A huge red-black ferocious snake head, which was more than ten feet long, came down from above and stretched in front of Chen Yuan.
A pair of huge eyes flashing with cold white light stared straight at Chen Yuan, revealing a powerful pressure that was comparable to that of a half-step dragon or tiger!
"hiss"
"hou"
The hook snakes around screamed and quickly scattered.
As for Chen Yuan, facing this sudden change, his heart tightened, and the domineering true energy in his body was stimulated and his subconscious was about to explode, but he forced himself to hold it back and keep his composure.
He is quite skilled in playing the role of a demon.
Faced with this scene, just the right amount of shock appeared in the cyan pupils, followed by a sharp scream, and the real body now appeared to be more than ten feet long!
Seeing this, the huge hook snake head circled around Chen Yuan's transformed hook snake body. After a dozen breaths, the white light in its eyes lost interest, and then with a loud rumbling sound, the head shrank back.
"Master Zuling, what is this? Is there any problem?"
The Tianguan Hook Snake, who was leading the team, was also startled, and the originally cold magic light became cautious at this moment.
"Nothing. I thought there was another little fellow with awakened ancestral blood and high blood purity. But there are a lot of good ones these days."
The huge statue called "Ancestor Spirit" spoke like thunder, and only said the first half of the sentence. It had no interest in continuing the second half, and then spoke with an indifferent metallic sound:
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to go!"
"The Yinshan people are urging us, otherwise why would the Linxuan people be so careless? You should know that our Hook Snake tribe was once the dominant power in ancient times. How could we be inferior to others now?"
This "ancestor spirit" spoke as if it was complaining or reminiscing about the past. It was very strange. Then, the tone of its voice changed, revealing a gloomy and violent tone, revealing the reason for the hasty selection of the tribe members this time.
"Outside the mountain, my clan and the Yinshan Saint Clan suffered a sneak attack from a human race master a few days ago. Many people died and needed to be replaced, so the original plan was disrupted."
"Remember, grab more blood food, don't become cannon fodder for Yinshan!"
"Come up, I'll take you to Yinshan!"
The words of the giant statue made Chen Yuan, who was hidden among the demons, have a gleam of light in his eyes.
The gears of fate are turning and aligning.
Gongsun Yang reported a few days ago that three people from Wudao Mountain broke into the Zhennan Prefecture Pass which was occupied by demons and caused a big commotion inside. From this, they obtained relevant intelligence about Zhennan Prefecture, which led to his current actions.
When they broke into the formation that time, they directly killed their way out of the teleportation formation. After hearing what this "ancestor spirit" said, the demon tribe in Zhennan Prefecture, led by the Tengu tribe, suffered losses, which led to this unplanned troop deployment.
I caught up with it at about the same time, so everything matched.
As he was thinking, his "true form" which had just appeared because he was "frightened by the performance" was now rapidly changing and returning to his previous appearance.
To be honest, what he said just now was a bit sudden and almost exposed him. He didn't know what this "ancestor spirit" that suddenly appeared was, and he didn't realize that the other party's breath was hidden in this statue for a while.
He is not afraid of this thing, but at this point, being a good actor is his basic rule.
This also reminded him that when he went deep into this unfamiliar demonic territory, no one knew what would happen in the next second, so he had to be careful enough.
At this time, after hearing the words of the ancestor spirit, the hook snake demon soldiers under the statue, led by the Tianguan demon general, flew onto the floating platform that was flashing with the fluctuations of the formation.
This is a teleportation formation, it is used to send them to Yinshan Mountain!
There are probably more than four hundred demon soldiers and four heavenly demon generals.
Chen Yuan continued his "performance" after being frightened just now, and "tremblingly" followed the team to the platform without leaving any trace. When all the hook snakes were on the platform, the huge eyes of the hook snake suddenly blazed.
Two loud golden sounds rang out in unison.
In an instant, two white beams of light that were more than ten feet thick suddenly hit the platform, lighting up the intricate array patterns engraved on the platform, emitting a milky white light and a loud buzzing sound.
Time passed by second by second, and when the milky white light formed a light shield, there was a loud "boom".
The entire platform roared and shook.
Then, the more than 400 hook snakes inside were stretched into a white stream of light, rising into the sky.
Among them is Chen Yuan.
As well as the North Sea Dragon Girl, Huanlong, the Three Guardians of Taisui Mountain, Ange and others who were hiding in his Hu Tai space.
Soon, after a brief period of weightlessness and dizziness, Chen Yuan and several white-headed demon soldiers of the Hook Snake clan appeared at the other end of the teleportation array.
"We've arrived at Yinshan!"
A voice came to his ear, reminding Chen Yuan who was still playing a role, although he seemed drowsy due to the transmission.
He felt a mixed feeling in his heart, knowing that he was only one step away from success, which was to follow the hook-snake demon soldiers into the teleportation array on the Yinshan side and return to the outside of the mountain.
The moment Chen Yuan opened his eyes, it was completely different from what he had imagined about Yinshan, a mountain inhabited by demons.
What meets the eye is a holy silver color!
At this moment, they were at a place on a mountainside. Above the teleportation array, there was a huge snow-white tree that was over thirty feet tall. The trunk was milky white and emitted a glow, while the leaves looked like they were made of silver. As the leaves fluttered in the air, it was as if they had entered a dream world.
Looking around, the whole mountain is covered with these tall silver-white trees, as if the whole mountain is emitting silver-white light, which is magnificent and unreal.
Is this the Yinshan Mountain where the Tengu clan resides?
Chen Yuan looked around the scenery and couldn't hide his surprise. This place was completely different from the Xianti Mountain which was like the Avici Hell and full of volcanoes. One was a hell and the other was like a fairy mountain!
He soon realized that he had made a mistake of inertial thinking. He thought that the place where the ten evil spirits were entrenched was like the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge, with skulls like a mountain and bones like a forest. Human hair was turned into felt pieces, and human skin and flesh were rotten into mud. Human tendons were entangled in trees, dry and burnt, shining like silver. It was really a sea of blood and corpses, and it was indeed smelly and unpleasant.
The results are obvious!
Yes, there are paradises in all directions of the Central Plains, so how could there not be demons?
As one of the Ten Evils, the Tengu clan has extraordinary bloodline and great magical powers. And the most important point is that according to the information he currently has, the Tengu clan has a spiritual root of fortune called the Laurel Divine Tree!
Chen Yuan looked at the towering trees emitting silvery-white light all over the mountains, and had a vague guess in his mind. The appearance of these trees was exactly the same as the ones in the image transmitted by Zhao Quanzhen and the other two when they broke through the formation, except that they were not that tall.
He guessed that these trees spread throughout the Yinshan Mountains were all transformed from the essence of this sacred tree!
This is a fully mature spiritual root of luck!
The spiritual root of luck has the function of nourishing the blessed land and stabilizing the cave. It seems that the entire Yinshan Mountain is covered by its essence.
Just as Chen Yuan was sighing in his heart, he raised his head unconsciously and suddenly found that there was an obviously huge moon hanging above his head, over the Yinshan Mountain.
This moon is unusually large, hundreds of times larger than an ordinary moon. The bright moonlight is like running water sprinkling on the Yinshan Mountains below, and complementing the silver trees all over the mountains, making the world clear and bright.
"This moon?"
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had fought with Tengu several times and even had an old hand as a contracted demon. He was quite clear about the bloodline inheritance and magical powers of this clan, which were basically related to the moon.
The moon in the sky is obviously unusual, and it seems to be closely connected with the Tengu clan.
He kept these thoughts silently in his heart.
At this time, the demon soldiers of the Hook Snake Clan were in commotion. They saw several tall demon shadows waiting outside the teleportation array.
These demonic figures, with white faces and fangs, red eyes and black pupils, are extremely ferocious, and their bodies are filled with explosive power, revealing the aura of the heavenly gate.
The four leading Tianguan demon generals of the hook snake clan came forward and imitated the etiquette of the human race towards the demon leader who was eight feet tall, with a white face, two fangs in his mouth, and hair as sharp as needles.
"Master Saint, our clan has been ordered to mobilize our people to support the battlefield outside the mountain!"
The leading Tengu demon glanced at the hundreds of demon soldiers in the teleportation array with his red eyes, full of indifference. In their eyes, these insignificant subordinate demons were just cannon fodder on the battlefield. They grumbled in their throats.
"It's already past midnight. The next batch of transmissions will have to wait until tomorrow. You will wait here until midnight tomorrow with the Six-Armed Clan."
The six-armed tribe mentioned by this demon is actually the Cong Cong recorded by the mountain-faring army. They are dog-like and have six legs. They are close relatives of the Tengu tribe and other demons. When this tribe becomes powerful, they can grow six arms, so the name comes from this among the demon tribe.
The names used by demons are naturally different from those used by humans.
"Yes!"
The Tianguan Demon General of the Hook Snake Clan would naturally have no objection.
So, the people of the Tengu tribe led the demon soldiers and generals of the Hook Snake tribe to find a place to stay and could only wait until midnight tomorrow to be teleported.
Chen Yuan knew this point and waited quietly for the arrival of tomorrow's day.
The place where they lived was actually a tall villa with rockery and flowing water, and full of moon-hanging trees. The buildings here were obviously taller, rougher and more magnificent.
If an uninformed person saw this, they would think it was some paradise on earth. They would never imagine that this was the Yinshan Mountain where one of the Ten Evils resided.
Chen Yuan stayed in the room in the villa, set up the restrictions, and then watched the big moon outside the window set, and the sun rise from the east and then set.
Then, night fell, and the huge moon appeared over Yinshan Mountain again.
As time passed by bit by bit, while Chen Yuan was waiting, midnight arrived!
Outside, the hook snake demon general soon shouted, calling the demon soldiers to assemble. (End of this chapter)
