Her whole body arched, her hair exploded, and it looked even more fluffy, like a big hairy dough, and she was baring her teeth at the woman in black robe.
The black-robed woman Yu Li's expression changed slightly at this moment, as if she noticed something.
The next moment, the fat cat Wuchang pounced into the air with an agility that was inconsistent with his body size, and his figure turned into a shadow in the air. At the same time, the black-robed woman Yuli also attacked, and several streams of green juice splashed out from her fingertips.
In a flash, Wuchang's body seemed to turn into a pool of liquid, changing continuously in the air. He actually passed through the splashing venom intact, pounced on Yuli, and then used his front paws to greet Yuli.
It looked like just a series of soft cat punches.
Every time a punch was thrown, there was a sharp sound of wind whistling past.
Bang bang bang bang!
The black-robed female general fell down immediately. It looked as if a fat cat swooped over and sat Yuli down with its butt.
Even as the cat punches were thrown continuously, the ground was shaking slightly, and the bluestone bricks on the floor of the teahouse shattered.
Long Shankong stood nearby, watching the fat cat beating up the black-robed woman, then looking at his own torn arms, and suddenly felt a little melancholy:
"I'm not even as good as a cat. I don't even have the strength of a cat?"
He felt a little sad and angry for a moment, then he kicked down the soldiers who were following Yuli, and his mood improved a little.
The woman in black robe fell to the ground and tried to struggle, but the demon cat Wuchang was already hanging on her body. Under such huge pressure, how could she break free
Soon, the black-robed woman had a bruised face and raised her hands, shouting:
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. You and I are both demons, there must be some misunderstanding..."
"Do you think it's a misunderstanding now? As soon as Luo Cheng opened his mouth just now, you rushed to take action. Aren't you afraid of misunderstanding us?" Long Shankong sneered, jumped up and kicked a chopstick on the Eight Immortals Table.
At this time, the round-faced merchant Luo Cheng was quietly walking out while holding the wall. Suddenly, he saw the chopsticks shot out like a sharp arrow, piercing through his palm and nailing him to the wall of the teahouse.
In fact, it is not entirely true to say that it was a misunderstanding.
After all, Qiao Mu and others' target was indeed the traveling merchant Luo Cheng, but they did not expect the black-robed woman to be so decisive and take action first.
"You are also a demon? No wonder." Qiao Mu grabbed Wuchang's neck and lifted the fat cat up:
"Just now I heard someone say that you are from the Yuwang Army. There are monsters in the Yuwang Army too? What kind of monster are you?"
"It's a flying fish, a flying fish from the Poison Cloud Swamp deep in the Shiwan Mountains." Yuli replied sullenly.
She stretched out her five slender fingers, and the nails on her five fingers turned emerald green at a speed visible to the naked eye, like five pieces of crystal clear jade.
"It turns out to be a transformed monster... Is there an antidote?" Long Shankong couldn't help but ask.
A transformed monster is not something a first-class warrior like him can deal with, so he feels a little more confident now.
He had preconceived ideas and thought that this flying fish monster that could spray venom was an expert in poison skills, so he was doomed to fail, wasn't he
"Antidote?" Flying Fish Demon Yuli thought for a moment and said:
"Drink more hot water, maybe it can provide some relief."
"..." Long Shankong was silent for a while, then raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the hall, where two tea drinkers were foaming at the mouth:
"If there is no cure, just say so. Are you kidding me?"
"Those two talkative idlers, can they drink hot water?"
"You can drink it, why can't you drink it?" Yuli said:
"They didn't die, it's just that their ending was not very pleasant..."
"My Yuwang Army has to have a good reputation after all, so we can't just kill people at will. We just gave those two talkative idlers a slight punishment."
"The poison enters the body, causing vomiting and diarrhea, coma, and physical exhaustion."
"Is this called a slight punishment?" Qiao Mu looked at the two tea drinkers foaming at the mouth.
"Of course I won't die." Yuli said seriously:
"After all, I'm not some evil demon..."
The words haven't finished yet.
All I heard was a series of "plop" sounds, and pearls of varying sizes fell on a jade plate.
A suffocating stench suddenly wafted in from the direction of the two unconscious tea drinkers in the corner of the lobby.
Long Shankong took a closer look and his face turned green immediately:
"What kind of flying fish monster is this? It's clearly a poisonous monster with evil intentions. Her poison can actually cause people to lose their stool..."
At the same time.
A pair of wings spread out behind the flying fish demon Yuli. She took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was distracted by the suffocating poisonous gas, flapped her wings, and flew out like an arrow, incredibly fast.
"Shattering Void Finger."
Qiao Mu snapped his fingers and a crescent-shaped energy force broke through the air. However, although his energy force was condensed and strong, it quickly weakened after flying more than ten or twenty meters, and finally just brushed Yuli's back.
The jade carp trembled all over, and its body tilted. It did not fall from the air, but flapped its wings again and flew away at an even faster speed.
"It's really not very convenient for a warrior to release his internal energy too quickly." Qiao Mu covered his nose with his hand and walked out of the teahouse with Long Shankong.
He put his fingers together to form a sword, and the invisible energy on his fingertips condensed into a three-foot white energy sword, which slashed towards the wounds on Long Shankong's arms.
The rotten and blackened flesh and blood was cut off by his Qi sword, and the bright red flesh and blood reappeared.
This skill was imitated from the Martial Saint he met in Nanzhou.
In the past, the Martial Saint used a butcher's knife to cut off the flesh and blood of his fellow martial artists in order to isolate them from the bone-eating fire.
Now Qiao Mu used the sword of Qi to cut off the flesh and blood of Long Shankong's arms, which was a similar effect.
"Unconsciously, I have been able to reproduce the martial arts skills displayed by the martial saints of the past... But if I want to go further, where should I go?"
At this time, Qiao Mu was already one of the warriors standing at the forefront of martial arts in the world.
It’s just that the former sword-demon and martial saint are still far ahead in some aspects.
"In the past, the Sword Exiled Immortal transformed his sword into a sword to cut through the sky. He used my internal energy, but the sword energy was able to soar into the sky and break through the immortal gate's formation..."
"The internal energy of the Martial Saint seems to be extraordinary. It once suppressed Wu Qingxin's Bone-Eroding Fire until it was extinguished... How did they do it?"
Qiao Mu put this question aside for the moment. This was obviously not a mystery that could be solved by thinking about it in a short period of time.
The problem that needs to be solved right now is the traveling merchant in front of him, Luo Cheng.
"Mr. Long..." Luo Cheng's face was now filled with a flattering smile, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
He was just trying to divert trouble away and escape during the chaos.
Who knew Qiao Mu could actually deal with the flying fish monster? He didn't even have a chance to escape.
"No, please listen to my explanation. These are really gold, not stone!"
"But this gold is not ordinary gold. It is the gold that flows out of the Golden Country."
"Didn't I remind you again and again that you should believe in the legend of the Golden Country?"
"If you believe this, it exists; if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."
"It is precisely because Mr. Long did not believe in his heart and was not sincere enough that the gold turned into stone."
"Are you still talking nonsense? Do you think I'm blind?" Long Shankong just sneered and threw the bag of stones at the traveling merchant Luo Cheng's face.
But Qiao Mu next to him waved his hand to stop him.
He had little interest in gold, but now he became interested in what the merchant said:
"If we believe, it exists; if we don't believe, it doesn't exist? If we believe, this gold is real; if we don't believe, this gold is fake?"
"Almost." Merchant Luo Cheng explained:
"Gentlemen, I have heard before that deep in the mountains there is a great thief's secret treasure, a philosopher's stone."
"The Philosopher's Stone is real and can turn stones it touches into gold. But turning stones into gold is too magical and it can't just happen."
"The so-called Midas Touch is actually a long-term process, not something that happens overnight."
Long Shankong sneered: "You made up a story that looks really good."
Merchant Luo Cheng said confidently: "To turn this stone into gold, it takes time and sincerity."
“Sincerity can move metal and stone. Nothing is more true than this.”
“As long as enough people believe that this is real gold and wait for a certain amount of time, these stones touched by the philosopher’s stone will turn into gold.”
Qiao Mu summarized:
"You mean... as long as I hold on to this stone long enough and believe in the legend of the Golden Country, sooner or later I will be able to wait for the day when this stone turns into gold?"
"That's right." Luo Cheng said seriously:
"Of course I didn't mean to deceive Mr. Long."
"It's just that I met Mr. Long by chance. If I tell him everything, he won't believe it."
"So I had to conceal the truth about the bag of gold in my hand. In this way, as long as Mr. Long believes in the legend of the Golden Country, the ten kilograms of gold are real."
"In this way, Mr. Long gets ten kilograms of gold, and I get some property. Both sides are happy. Isn't that wonderful?"
Long Shankong let out a hiss, feeling a little misled by this merchant.
As I listened, it seemed to make some sense
This bag of stones is probably not just a trick. If it can really turn into gold, then compared to the money he exchanged for it, it would naturally be a huge profit!
Qiao Mu, who was standing beside him, nodded repeatedly as he listened.
I have to say that this person does have his own twisted ideas. He calmly attributed the responsibility of turning gold into stone to Long Shankong's fault.
"What you said does make sense." Qiao Mu said slowly:
"But I want to ask one thing."
"If you really believe in the legend of the Golden Land that can turn stones into gold, then why did you exchange these ten kilograms of gold for Long Shankong at a low price?"
The traveling merchant Luo Cheng stammered and was speechless for a moment.
This question really hit the nail on the head. But he was a sharp-tongued man, and it wasn't that he couldn't come up with a decent reason.
But when he looked into Qiao Mu's eyes, he inexplicably sensed an irresistible pressure in the other's eyes that were as calm as a lake.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the merchant Luo Cheng. He said hesitantly:
"That's... to make more people believe in the legend of the Golden Country." He explained slowly:
“As long as enough people believe in the legend, gold will always be real.”
"By then, we will naturally have countless gold and become very rich."
When Qiao Mu heard this, he suddenly looked down at the demon cat Wuchang squatting on his shoulder.
If there really is a monster behind this Golden City... then the spread of the Golden City legend and the increase in the number of people who believe in this rumor mean that... the monster in the Golden City is becoming increasingly powerful
