I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 202 Let's all become toads together
A living person turned into a toad, and he was completely transformed into a toad, both physically and spiritually. He became a real toad and could no longer exert any of his strength. How could Zhang Chen not feel disgusted?
The most important thing is that it seems that my sensory orientation has been distorted, and I always feel that the female toad opposite me is very pretty.

In fact, not only Zhang Chen felt disgusted, but Zhong Xiang opposite him was even more disgusted to the extreme, wishing he could just smash his head against the wall and die here.

Time passed slowly, and as the hour of midnight just passed, Zhang Chen's Zhong Xiang's body twisted, and the two of them regained their human forms.

At this time, two people were standing in the dark underground tomb, looking at each other, both of them speechless.

"What should we do next?" Zhang Chen asked, "You are a noble, and your family has a deep foundation. Do you have any way to fight against this curse?"

Zhong Xiang scratched his head, his face full of bitterness: "Big families are not omnipotent, they just have power beyond that of ordinary people. What are they in front of these ancient gods and demons?"

Zhang Chen's mind raced when he heard this. He felt that if he wanted to break the curse, he could only start from the tomb and find a way to break the curse from the source.

To untie the bell, you must find the person who tied it. To break the curse, you need to start with the water in the pool.

"What should we do now?" Zhong Xiang asked. He couldn't rely on his family, so he had no good solution.

"The method to break the curse has to start from this tomb. If you want to find a way to break it from the outside, I have never heard of anyone who has such a method." Zhang Chen said.

"But who can deal with the pool water? There is no way to defend against the black mist." Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen expectantly, pinning his hopes on his strange methods.

Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly after hearing this: "Don't pin your hopes on me. I was counting on you to break this curse."

The two of them stared at each other, both with worried faces, unable to think of a solution. Now they were no longer fighting, and there seemed to be a tendency for them to reconcile.

The two looked at each other, and finally Zhang Chen spoke first: "I'm leaving first. I'll come back to explore the pool of water when I find a way to control it."

"What should we do with this tomb? Now that we have dug through it, it will be discovered sooner or later..." Zhong Xiang said hesitantly.

"I hope someone comes in and has the same misfortune as us!" Zhang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up when he said this, and he smiled sinisterly: "In fact, I have come up with a plan that may be able to break our curse."

"What do you think? I will definitely cooperate with you." Zhong Xiang said quickly.

Zhang Chen heard this and said, "It doesn't matter if we two don't have a way to break the curse, but if more people come in and get infected with the curse, hehehe..."

Zhang Chen laughed strangely, his voice full of vulgarity: "When the time comes, we will have strength in numbers. Maybe someone will have a hidden way to break the curse directly."

Zhong Xiang shuddered when he heard this. The lowly boy opposite was too vicious. He was indeed a bad guy with sores and pus on his feet.

However, at this time, Zhong Xiang thought Zhang Chen’s idea was great!
It doesn't matter if the two of them are at their wits' end. If they can make everyone else miserable, then the big boss shouldn't laugh at the second one. Let's all work together to find a solution.

The two looked at each other, and Zhong Xiang said, "We need to think about this matter carefully. Once we start, we must involve everyone, not just one by one, to prevent the news of the curse from leaking out."

According to Zhong Xiang's idea, it would be best if everyone discovered it together, rushed in together, and was cursed together. Don't let someone get cursed and then leak the news, otherwise it would not be effective.

If we have to suffer misfortune, we have to suffer together and bear the responsibility together.

"First, block the entrance to the cave. I will send people to station here and cover the entrance with tents. Then we can think of a perfect plan to lure everyone here at once." Zhong Xiang paused and said, "You have to step in to guide them. After all, it's not convenient for me to do it."

Zhong Xiang has a big family behind him, and is even involved with the Confucian school. Once this matter is exposed, I'm afraid Zhong Xiang's reputation will be ruined, and his entire family will be implicated.

"You are a coward, you are hesitant and you have no manliness at all." Zhang Chen said unhappily, "But I am not afraid, just leave it to me."

The two of them discussed it again, and then walked out of the cave side by side.

At this time, Zhong Xiang retracted the flames around his body and was extremely confident in Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was no longer on guard against Zhong Xiang. The two looked like a pair of good friends, and there was no trace of the tense atmosphere before.

But both of them knew in their hearts that they were in trouble and had to unite temporarily. Once the curse was resolved, they would surely fight each other again.

At this time, the two of them were in the same boat, and they looked very harmonious.

The two of them walked out of the cave and saw Chen Xu standing in front of the cave, paced back and forth, his eyes full of worry.

Hearing the noise at the cave entrance, he quickly turned his head and looked sideways. After seeing Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang crawling out of the cave in a friendly manner, he was slightly stunned. He didn't know why the two who were at loggerheads before were reconciled at this moment. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Zhong Xiang with a flattering face: "Your Majesty, you are out? Did you gain anything in the underground tomb?"

Zhong Xiang's face darkened when he heard this, and he took out a token and handed it to Chen Xu: "Go and dispatch my five hundred soldiers."

Chen Xu took the token and subconsciously looked towards Zhang Chen. Seeing Zhang Chen nodded slightly, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do it for you right away."

Chen Xu walked away. Zhang Chen looked away as his back disappeared into the darkness. “How are you going to deal with him?”

"This man is a figure in the martial arts world, and he is quite capable. It would be a pity to kill him, but if the news of my embarrassing situation today spreads, it will ruin my reputation. It would be better to take him under my command for the time being, so that we can make the best use of him." Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen, his voice full of unquestionable: "I know you caught him first, and he should be considered yours, but since he knows about my embarrassing situation, I will never let him leave me alive. If you insist on taking him away, his only fate is death!"

"I'm not interested in him!" Zhang Chen smiled nonchalantly, turned around and walked down the mountain: "I'll go first, you keep an eye on the cave entrance, and I'll inform you when I think of a way to lure everyone here." "How can I contact you?" Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen's back, his teeth itching with hatred in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and asked calmly.

If Zhang Chen got into the crowd, with that kid's ability, how could he find his whereabouts? I'm afraid there would be no hope of revenge in this life.

Zhang Chen paused and turned to look at Zhong Xiang. Zhong Xiang felt a little guilty when he saw his eyes. He quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I was just thinking about how to notify you if something happens in the tomb, or if I find a way to resolve the curse, or if I think of a way to lead everyone to the underground tomb."

"I think you'd better not contact me. Not seeing you is the best thing for me. If there is anything, I will naturally contact you. After all, you act so flamboyantly and have a large group of people following you. It is not difficult to find your whereabouts." After Zhang Chen finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving Zhong Xiang standing there with hatred.

"Who is this kid? I wonder if Chen Xu knows." Zhong Xiang muttered as he stood there.

Zhang Chen was walking in the dark all the way. He knew in his heart that Chen Xu knew his identity. If there was really an emergency, it would not be difficult for Zhong Xiang to find him.

He just concealed his identity just to deliberately anger the other party. As long as the other party didn't touch Huang Liguan, he would be safe.

As for his parents and younger brothers and sisters, they are protected by the Censorate and Zhong Xiang cannot harm them.

And since Zhong Xiang knew his own methods, with his intelligence he should have known that if he failed to capture himself and then attacked his parents, he would be in even bigger trouble.

After all, the Zhong family is wealthy and powerful, with clansmen spread all over the world. If I were to carry out an assassination attempt, there would be no telling how many casualties there would be, and the other party would never dare to break the rules first.

"This curse is really a big trouble." Zhang Chen strolled in the mountains and forests, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

"I say, if I am cursed by the cursed demon god, how can I break the curse?" Zhang Chen asked the Great Freedom Demon. This kind of thing can only be asked to the Great Freedom Demon.

The Great Freedom Demon emerged from Zhang Chen's palm and transformed from lotus petals into a human form. A pair of eyes looked at Zhang Chen with gloating eyes: "Boy, why do you suddenly ask this question? Have you been cursed by the Cursed Demon God?"

"I'm asking you a question. You seem to have forgotten the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation." Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

The Great Freedom Demon's smile faded upon hearing this. Facing Zhang Chen's cold eyes, he shuddered and said with a bitter smile, "Once you are cursed by the Cursed Demon God, there are only two ways to break it."

"Which two?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The first is that the cursed demon god personally resolves your curse. The second is to find the legendary blessed jade."

As the Great Freedom Demon spoke, he secretly observed Zhang Chen's expression and thought to himself, "Zhang Chen, you have met your nemesis this time, right? You deserve this bad luck for causing such harm to me, your ancestor!"

"Blessing Jade? What is that?" Zhang Chen asked.

The Great Freedom Demon spread his hands and said, "I have never seen the Blessing Jade. I have only heard people say that the Blessing Jade can dissolve the power of the Cursed Demon God."

Zhang Chen asked, "Where is the Jade of Blessing?"

"I heard that the Jade of Blessing is the most precious treasure of the Nühe Yuemu Kingdom. This sacred jade can grant destiny to living beings, and can also strip away the destiny of gods and demons. It can bless, eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and has incredible magical effects. Later, the Nühe Yuemu Kingdom was destroyed by the Shegu Kingdom, and the Jade of Blessing disappeared without a trace and its whereabouts are unknown."

The Great Freedom Demon did not hide the news, because the Kingdom of Nuhe and Yuemu had long disappeared in the dust of history. With the continuous division and birth and death of dynasties, the treasures of the Kingdom of Nuhe and Yuemu had long disappeared in the dust of history. Even he did not know it, so how could Zhang Chen find it?
"The Kingdom of Nuhe and the Moon Mother?" Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something. The next moment he turned into a bat and disappeared among the mountains. When he reappeared, he had already arrived in the city.

The inn was closed and the entire street was under curfew, so Zhang Chen simply went straight to the county government office and found a room to sleep in. At dawn the next day, when the county government was cooking, he ordered the fox spirit to bring all the food prepared for the county magistrate Gou Chun. After eating her fill, she turned into mist and left in a leisurely manner. She then went to the inn and rented a room, thinking about how to attract all the powerful human beings over there.

"The aura of the Feng Shui formation has leaked, and it has alarmed the masters in the city. Everyone must have noticed the anomaly, but because of the thunderclouds in the sky, no one has the opportunity to enter the tomb. What I want to do now is to provide everyone with a clear coordinate and then attract everyone over there."

When Zhang Chen thought of this, he had a sinister idea in his mind: "Maybe I can take this opportunity to trick Zhong Xiang."

"I might as well make up a rumor and say that Zhong Xiang has discovered the entrance to the tomb and has dug through the passage, which was hidden by Zhong Xiang in a tent. Then those guys will definitely go to Zhong Xiang to verify it. Given Zhong Xiang's character, he will never open the tent for them to check. If a conflict arises between the two sides, it will bring countless enemies to Zhong Xiang, the pretty boy, and cause more trouble for the Zhong family. If I fight with Zhong Xiang in the future, it will also relieve a lot of pressure." Zhang Chen raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of pride.

Zhong Xiang, who was setting up a tent in the mountains, could never have imagined that Zhang Chen would be so insidious, otherwise he would have eaten Zhang Chen alive. He asked Zhang Chen to find a way, but he didn't expect Zhang Chen to dig a big hole for him.

"How can we spread the news and convince everyone?" Zhang Chen thought: "Three people can make a tiger. As long as the rumor spreads enough, someone will naturally come to verify it."

"But how to spread the rumor is a technical job." Figures flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, and the first person he thought of was Xie Lingyun. With Xie Lingyun's ability, it would not be difficult for him to spread the rumor all over the place.

But if I ask Xie Lingyun to take action, Xie Lingyun will definitely have some associations. If the imperial court intervenes in the fate of the tomb, what will I have to do with it?

"Why not ask a few storytellers to promote Zhong Xiang?" Zhang Chen made up his mind and went to look for storytellers.

Just half a day later, Zhang Chen stood on the street corner with a disappointed face, cursing: "Internet novels misled me. I just opened my mouth, and when those storytellers heard the rumor of building a clock elephant, they ran away in fear, looking at me as if I were a madman."

"At this point, we can only think of a new way." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. The storyteller's way didn't work, so he could only look for a new way, such as helping the beggars who were starving to death. However, he still needed careful planning on how to do it.
