Wet viviparity

Chapter 962 Extortion, Feigning Idiot (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader [You Are Like the Wind, Gathering and Scattering Without My Control]!)
The one riding the mud horse was none other than the Bo Ni Gui who had been peeking around the inner altar and trying to slip away several times.

While the great demons and monsters, both inside and outside the altars, and the old demons and wandering Taoists were all focused on their cultivation, he finally seized the opportunity to slip away. However, he did not expect that he would run into this patrol team before he had gone very far. He was so frightened that he almost tumbled off his mud horse and hurriedly waved his hands and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"Third Master Fox, it's me, Bo Ni Gui, one of our own. Tell the brothers not to ring the bells and chimes."

Fox Master squinted his long, narrow fox eyes and looked Bo Ni Gui up and down, especially at the seemingly clumsy but actually spiritually powerful mud horse beneath Bo Ni Gui, and the Hundred Treasures Toad Bowl that he was holding tightly in his arms.

The rat spirit, snake spirit, horse demon, and others immediately surrounded them, their eyes flashing with ill intent.

"Oh~
"My dear friend, the Bonito from Yokoyama!"

Fox Master San dragged out his words, weighing his bamboo cane in his hand, while his primordial spirit power probed towards the distant area behind him, towards the wandering Taoists who were keeping watch on the surroundings. He didn't want those Taoists to notice the big fat sheep in front of him.

"Huang Silang".

Fox Master shouted and summoned the weasel demon, saying, "Cast a halo spell on me and create an illusion here so that those people behind us can't see through our current situation."

Ji Ming remained motionless, flicking his tongue out of his mouth, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just making an idiot work?!"

"Quickly, bring me the roast chicken from yesterday."

Fox Master urged the rat monster who was holding the golden bell.

The rat monster hurriedly took a roast chicken from its bag, breathed real fire on it to heat it up, and instantly the aroma filled the air. Then it tore it open in front of Ji Ming, revealing a crispy skin, tender meat, and juicy flesh.

Ji Ming didn't hesitate and started eating the roast chicken.

He knew that this roast chicken would be more effective than any elixir in the body of the foolish weasel demon he was possessing. So, after quickly finishing it, he flicked his finger, and a halo of light opened between his fingers, expanding to half an acre in the blink of an eye, enveloping the entire group.

Even without the true body's influence, mere illusionary magic can be conjured up in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the Round Light Technique had been cast, Third Master Fox felt much more at ease and continued to say to Bo Ni Gui, "This grand ceremony is at a crucial juncture. Instead of staying obediently under the altar, you're sneaking around in this dark place. Where are you trying to make your fortune?"

The rat spirit chimed in shrill voice, "That's right, could it be that they stole some treasure from the altar and are trying to run away?"

The snake spirit flicked its tongue and said in a sarcastic tone, "We brothers are working hard here to perform rituals and maintain the purity of the altar, while you're taking it easy and trying to slip away. That's not fair."

The horse demon was very honest, without any beating around the bush. He simply stretched out his hairy hand and said, "A share for those who see it! Bo Ni Gui, if you know what's good for you, hand it over, lest we disturb the gods on the altar and make you regret it."

Bo Ni's face turned green, but the situation was beyond his control. He could only put on a mournful face and stubbornly say, "Gentlemen! Gentlemen! I just... I just needed to pee and wanted to find a quiet place outside to relieve myself. I don't have any treasures."

Fox Master chuckled and pointed his bamboo cane at the toad bowl in Bo Ni Ghost's arms. "You clay mountain ghost, you're using this precious thing to relieve yourself? You're kidding me!"

"Enough with the nonsense. We won't make things difficult for you. Just return the three-colored glass bead you won from me last time, which was in your toad-shaped bowl. Oh, and by the way, give us a copy of the refining method for the White Bone Heart-Gathering Bead. I heard that the White Bone Heart-Gathering Bead was the signature magic weapon that Little Sage used when he first debuted."

"No."

Upon hearing the method for refining the White Bone Heart-Gathering Pearl, Bo Ni Gui reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. This method was his signature move; whenever he brought it out during gambling games and explained its wondrous connection with the Little Saint, its value immediately became equivalent to a magical artifact.

Of course, he had several copies of the methods of refining treasures, but the value of each copy he gave away would decrease, and Fox Three would definitely copy his tricks in the Cloud and Rain Temple.

While Bo Ni Gui and Fox Master San were arguing, the weasel demon possessed by Ji Ming suddenly squeezed forward, looking rather clueless.

Ji Ming pretended to understand the situation, and like the other spirits, he bared his teeth at Bo Ni Gui. Then, with a "snap," he straightened his back and stood up straight, as if he were carrying out some serious mission, which looked extremely abrupt and comical.

"Did I overact?"

Seeing that none of the other spirits paid attention to him, Ji Ming thought to himself.

Ji Mingzao noticed Bo Ni Gui, no, he should be called Bo Ni Gong.

Back in the old temple in Hengshan, Ji Ming had extorted a lot from this man. The method for refining the White Bone Heart Pearl was obtained from him. He never expected to meet him here today.

As Ji Ming sighed, Bo Ni Gui was already unable to win the argument. Looking at the group of monsters surrounding him with strange light in their eyes, he knew that he would not be able to get through today without losing some blood.

He straddled the mud horse, wincing with heartache. Finally, under the coercion of Third Master Fox, he reluctantly took out three or five high-quality pearls, a few talismans, a scroll of treasure-refining manual, and other odds and ends from the toad bowl and stuffed them into the bowl.

"Alright, alright! Get lost! Don't delay our ceremony."

Fox Master grabbed the apologies, weighed them in his hand, and waved his hand with satisfaction.

Bo Ni Gui felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly pulled on the reins of the mud horse and, without looking back, disappeared into the deeper darkness, making a hasty escape.

Fox Master San proudly distributed the "spoils of war" to the demons. When it was Ji Ming's turn, Ji Ming was a little excited. He really didn't have much experience with this kind of spoils distribution. It seemed that he always took everything for himself.

"Here, Huang Si'er, this is your share."

"Take this, find a mud pit later and bury it there, maybe something good will grow."

Fox Master San casually shoved a dusty, muddy rock into his hand and said this.

Ji Ming looked at the mudstone in his hand, then looked up at Fox Master San. His feigned dazed look was now genuinely stunned. This mudstone would dissolve when it came into contact with mud and was used to fertilize wood and soil. This Fox Master San was actually trying to fool even a silly demon.

Seeing that Huang Silang remained motionless, the fox spirits and other demons were not surprised and continued their pretentious ritual of circling the altar, as if the extortion incident had never happened.

Ji Ming silently followed at the back of the procession, feeling slightly angry but also amused. The mercenary nature of these little demons, along with their survival wisdom, was quite interesting against the backdrop of this solemn ritual.

On the way to the ceremony, Ji Ming heard Third Master Fox proudly say that the outer perimeter had actually been set up with a formation, so Bo Ni Gui couldn't escape and this time the blood was wasted.

As the Taishan Soul-Summoning Ritual gradually came to an end, Ji Ming had also roughly figured out the situation here. At the same time, the Dangerous Path God had successfully entered the Transformation Realm, waiting for Ni Gen to give him a chance to be reborn.
