Chapter 188 The Junk Heap
"Die, my child!"
Immortal Rat Taoist leaped high into the air, brought his feet together, and unleashed a kick at Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming's ears twitched.
In the sky, you have the advantage; on the ground, we're evenly matched; but in the water, my dragon meat enhancement is no joke.
He sensed that he was being attacked from both sides, smiled slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced quickly, taking two steps towards the Immortal Rat Taoist. He then dodged the muscular monster's kick with a shameless lunge.
Just then, a fish demon with a single horn and sharp teeth burst out of the water, originally intending to attack Zhong Ming, but instead collided with the mutated Immortal Rat Taoist. Originally a fierce demon with sharp teeth, it was grabbed by its single horn by a large hand with thick flesh and hard skin, seemingly made of copper and iron, and possessed boundless strength. It was unable to break free and could only be slaughtered at its mercy.
After the Immortal Rat Taoist transformed into a muscular monster, he seemed somewhat delirious, wielding the fish demon in his hand as if it were a weapon.
The fish demon looked almost exactly like a tuna. Its most powerful horn was held tightly in its hand, but its tail was not fragile either. It was sharp at the edges, large and heavy, like a golden crescent shovel, and made a sound as it was swung.
Zhong Ming raised his spear to meet the enemy, but after a few rounds he was at a disadvantage. His opponent was extremely strong and could break through all techniques with sheer force. No matter how he changed his moves, the Immortal Rat Taoist just kept hitting him head-on, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
From afar, a strange voice called out, "Kids, stop fighting! Come to Grandpa's here."
"I'll give you a piece of my mind!" Zhong Ming was furious. Several heavy blows had numbed his hands and made him stagger to the ground. He had only exchanged a few blows when he was beaten back to the beach from the lake water that was up to his thighs. How could he stand this humiliation? He channeled his spiritual power into the tip of his spear, ready to cut the fish demon in his opponent's hand. He wanted to fight his opponent to see if his flesh was tougher or his spear was tougher.
As the spear thrust forward, the Immortal Rat Taoist grinned and stretched out his hands, neither dodging nor flinching, letting the spear pierce his body. His muscles, as tough as steel plates, clamped down on him, rendering him unable to move for a short time, while the "fish knife" was already falling towards his head.
"Wait, is this what you're looking for?"
The broadsword stopped its downward strike instantly, hovering in front of Zhong Ming's hand. A sliver of clarity suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Immortal Rat Taoist, and a crackling sound came from his arm. The internal injuries he suffered from stopping this attack were more severe than those he had sustained in several rounds with Zhong Ming.
"The Blood Jade Flower of Ten Thousand Souls! It was indeed on you."
Immortal Rat Taoist's murderous intent surged, and he grinned as he tried to grab Zhong Ming's hand to snatch the treasure.
At this moment, a voice, a hundred times more excited than the Immortal Rat Taoist, shouted as it came toward the two of them.
"Heaven has not forsaken us! Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!!!"
"who?"
Immortal Rat Taoist was like an old ox protecting its calf, grabbing at Zhong Ming with one hand and turning his other hand into a palm to retreat towards the incoming stream of light.
'The Blood Jade Flower of Ten Thousand Souls is mine!' Looking at the treasure that was about to be in his hands and the brat who was powerless to resist, Old Miao's inner satisfaction reached its peak.
Zhong Ming kicked his opponent's knee hard, but the opponent didn't budge. He unleashed spiritual power from his spear, but it was extremely difficult to advance, and he was caught in a dilemma.
"Kid, let go! No, I'm going to twist your hand off too!"
"Relax if you want."
Suddenly, Zhong Ming let go of his hand. Old Miao was caught off guard and didn't have time to change the direction of his hands. Zhong Ming, on the other hand, was bolder.
It's not like only my hands can move; my head can move too.
He opened his mouth, stretched his neck, and swallowed the seed of the Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower in one gulp.
Old Miao froze, standing there blankly as if he had lost his soul, muttering, "No...no no no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die~~~"
The Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower can parasitize demonic beasts, so it can naturally parasitize humans. Zhong Ming swallowed it in one gulp, and the seeds melted instantly in his stomach. Parasitism occurs simultaneously in the soul and body, leaving no time to react.
Old Miao now has two options: either risk taking Zhong Ming with him and running back, where his soul could be annihilated by Zhong Ming's "bright red light" at any moment, or kill Zhong Ming and wait for the newly parasitized Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower to turn back into a seed. However, simply killing a human is not enough for the Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower. After it turns back into a seed this time, the amount of souls it needs to plant next time is not even enough for one beast tide.
"Come and get it~" Zhong Ming looked at him triumphantly, but suddenly a huge force came from behind, dragging him back frantically.
'I...this...is somewhat familiar.' The first time he met his master was when he was dragged along the river at night by a fishing rod for an unknown distance before being pulled ashore.
After the familiar world turned upside down, Zhong Ming opened his eyes and found himself in a cave, hanging upside down, shaking back and forth.
"Kid, spit it out, spit it out, or I'll kill you..."
"Be good, listen to your grandpa, spit it out right now, that's not candy."
.....
Zhong Ming stared blankly at what was in front of him...
heap.....
Broken copper and scrap iron.
My brain is about to shut down.
Is this a mineral that has come to life?
A Bagua compass is speaking, a rope binds it, it floats in the sky, and it shakes itself up and down.
He swallowed hard and asked, "Everyone... do you want the Blood of Ten Thousand Souls... you know?"
"Kid, hurry up and spit it out, or it'll be too late... Never mind, it's too late now."
The gray rope suddenly came loose, sending Zhong Ming sprawling face-first into the dirt.
More sounds followed, and the scene in the pile of rubble was as lively as a beggars' gathering. Zhong Ming couldn't distinguish which sound was which.
They made no attempt to conceal the presence of Zhong Ming, a living, breathing human, and began discussing how to feed the Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower and how to prevent the flower from harming the muscle monster outside, who was their hope for escape.
"I still have a few sleeping demonic beasts here, I don't know if that's enough."
"I can use my supernatural power one more time to compress the time a little."
"Hey, wake up the old man, he has some stock left."
.....
Zhong Ming's gaze shifted uncertainly as he quietly retreated, hoping to seize the opportunity to escape.
In an instant, a large iron gate blocked the entrance to the cave, sealing it off completely...
Uh, no, that's not a big iron gate, that's a "broadsword" the size of a door panel.
The rope spoke again, "Kid, stop running around. If you have anything to say before you die, say it now."
"I can't die."
Zhong Ming spat out the seed of the Myriad Souls Blood Jade Flower. Wasn't that just the false tooth he put in the storage stone? What could possibly happen?
The pile of rubble fell silent, then the rope, with lightning speed, coiled around the seed... just a little too fast. The seed was swallowed back up.
Suddenly, a wail erupted from the rubble: "It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! Heaven, you're a damn woman!"
