Chapter 379: Vortex Demon King [I]

Look up.

I saw.

A cloud of white mist exploded at the entrance of the cave.

The huge rock that originally blocked the cave entrance suddenly broke into powder, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone wall.

The broken crystals spread in the water, making it turbid and obscuring the vision.

The stirred up water flow was like a turbulent undercurrent, disrupting everything around it.

Fish and shrimp fled in panic, and bubbles gushed out from the bottom of the water and rose rapidly to the surface.

wow-

The turbid water suddenly split to both sides, and two scarlet light wheels broke through the water.

Lava-like lines flowed deep within those vertical pupils, and every wrinkle created blood-red ripples under the waves.

The surrounding water suddenly became viscous.

The surface of the skin felt stinging as if it was scratched by a knife.

Then, a dark mountain rose up from the turbid torrent.

Look closely.

It was actually a giant snake that was tens of meters long.

The pitch-black scales with white edges surged layer upon layer.

The huge body swims in a winding manner.

As the scales interlaced, the entire area emitted a subtle vibration of metal clashing.

The fat catfish monster's gills and whiskers trembled violently, and bubbles burst from the mucus on its body like boiling water.

His eyes were full of fear.

He wanted to turn around and run away, but found that his body was out of control and he couldn't move at all.

The bodies of the two pythons on one side were entangled into a knot under the influence of this aura, and scarlet blood beads oozed out from the gaps between their scales.

It seemed that he had noticed the situation of the two snakes.

The aura of oppression that originally enveloped the two of them suddenly subsided.

"Sorry, I just broke through and I didn't control my strength well."

Black Snake, also known as Hu Qi, spoke in a low, hoarse voice with a hint of laziness.

It reverberated wildly in the waters that were made chaotic by the explosion of the stone walls.

For an instant.

After sensing this aura, the aquatic creatures within a ten-mile radius trembled all over and fled into the distance.

"It was this ugly guy who wanted to bully us. Fortunately, you arrived in time, big brother!"

The yellow python nearby was frightened and became extremely panicked.

Then he saw Hu Qi appear.

Recover immediately.

While speaking, it looked at the fat catfish spirit opposite with provocative eyes, as if it was taking advantage of the power of its master.

The red python's expression became more and more awed.

His elder brother's strength has reached this level.

Just by the pressure of its aura, it felt like it was almost dying.

It's absolutely terrifying.

Hu Qi ignored the two pythons.

His eyes turned to the catfish spirit that was standing stiffly in place.

The Shekou was slightly open.

Fine serrations and sharp crescent-shaped fangs are exposed.

Immediately, the huge mouth quickly enlarged in front of it.

"This great king, this is all a misunderstanding."

At this time.

He saw that he was about to be swallowed by Hu Qi.

The fat catfish finally reacted.

He spoke quickly.

"I am a monster under the command of Lord Monster King Vortex. I came here purely to follow Lord Monster King's orders.

I am not trying to cause trouble on your territory, my king."

While talking.

Its heart trembled violently; it had never expected this.

The big brother these two people were talking about turned out to be a big demon whose strength had reached the Daoji level.

What a joke.

How could a demon race of this level live on the edge of Taize Lake?
But that doesn't matter now.

What's important is how to save your own life.

Fortunately, he is not a wild monster without any support.

Gululu...

The originally turbulent water flow suddenly stopped.

I saw that the bloody mouth stopped less than one meter away from its head.

A strong fishy smell hit me in the face.

See this.

The fat catfish demon felt a wave of soreness all over his body, and his originally tense body almost collapsed.

Just a little bit.

It died.

"The Whirlpool Demon King?"

At this time, Hu Qi's somewhat doubtful voice came.

"That's right. I came here on the orders of my Lord Demon King..."

Seeing this, the fat catfish breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly explained.

He was afraid that the other party didn't know the consequences of the situation and would kill it directly.

There is no place to cry.

The demon race is formed by the cultivation of various creatures.

Even if you have awakened your wisdom.

There are also more or less gaps between us and others.

Many of them still have the habits of wild beasts.

There are many people who start fighting over a disagreement without considering the consequences.

soon.

Listen to the other person's story.

Hu Qi also understood the general situation.

After gaining intelligence, ordinary monsters draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies and strengthen their bodies to a certain degree.

Then you can condense the demonic energy, and then be counted as a monster.

At this time, a huge gap has opened up between ordinary creatures.

From now on, they are no longer the same kind of existence.

And after one's own strength and demonic power have accumulated to the extreme, the meridians have been opened, the transformation has been successful, and the demon essence has been condensed.

Then it can be called a real demon and can perform some magic.

As for being qualified to be called the Demon King.

At least they are all powerful demons who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

The vortex demon king mentioned by the fat catfish is a demon king at the Condensation Yuan level.

The other party rules a corner of Taize Lake, an area of ​​500 miles in radius.

It is its only ruler.

The reason why the fat catfish demon was sent here this time was not for any other purpose.

Rather, it was an order from the Vortex Demon King to notify all the nearby demon tribes.

Half a month later, they went together to attend the celebration of the Whirlpool Demon King marrying his 33rd concubine.

"…I apologize for the offense this time. I am sorry for disturbing you. I will take my leave now!"

The fat catfish demon said.

Seeing Hu Qi did not stop him.

He smiled flatteringly.

Then, under Hu Qi's gaze, he turned around and swam carefully to the back.

at the same time.

It became ruthless and made up its mind secretly.

This time when I go back, I will report everything that happened here in detail.

However, you have to think carefully when telling the story, and you don't need to throw some dirty water on it, such as insulting the Demon King.

After all, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

Although the opponent is a big monster at the Daoji level, as a subordinate of the Vortex Demon King, he has seen many big monsters of this type.

Although it cannot defeat the monster, there are many powerful characters under the command of its own demon king who can deal with the monster.

It is already very familiar with this kind of thing and this is not the first time it has done it.

Just as he was thinking about how to exaggerate today's tragic scene, he suddenly felt blue scales on his back standing up.

A shadow loomed.

Instinctively he glanced back.

Just this one look.

But it was like a bolt of thunder.

In an instant, its expression suddenly twisted, and it seemed as if its soul was about to be scared out of its body.

The words of begging for mercy had not yet been uttered.

puff!
In just a moment, the fat catfish demon felt a darkness before his eyes.

Immediately, all perceptions of the outside world faded away quickly like the tide.

The last thing that came into view was a huge bloody mouth that seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the earth.

The water ripples at the spot twisted and exploded, surging in all directions, and finally slowly calmed down.

Modified value +11 (37%)

outside world.

The fat catfish monster that was ten meters tall has disappeared.

Instead, there was a black snake transformed from Hu Qi's figure.

He actually swallowed the catfish spirit in one gulp.

Both parties revealed their backers.

If you let it go, are you expecting it to stab you in the back?
However, the taste of this thing is really not that good.

The smell of soil is too strong when eaten raw, it would be better if it could be cooked.

As a chef.

Hu Qi’s requirements for food are not low.

However, there are no such conditions at the moment, so we can only make do with what we have now.

Think about this.

He coughed, and a palm-sized black iron token with a vortex pattern on its surface was spat out.

This thing is the identity certificate of this fat catfish spirit.

He could clearly detect a powerful aura on it.

That is a power that transcends the foundation of Taoism.

Hu Qi took a quick look.

A wisp of demonic power covered it, and the token seemed to turn into a magnet, directly adhering to his scales.

Finish these.

Hu Qi's heart moved.

"scarlet!"

Swish!
A translucent scarlet panel unfolded before my eyes.

[Owner: Hu Qi]

[Status: Abnormal (Evolution progress of the cave world in the body is 38%)]

【Age: 28 days】

[Bloodline: Taiyu Holding the Snake]

[Talent: Soul Devouring, Distorted Light (Law of Heaven and Earth), Yuan Eye (Red Sun Prison), Eternal Ring]

[Magic Powers: Water Control, Sword of Will, Sky Thread, Ten Thousand Thunders, Buddha Realm, Heart Evolution]

[Skill: Mysterious Evil Underworld Foundation Building Secret Record (Fourth Level)△]

[Spirit Seed Method (Perfect) Spirit Seed: Nightmare Demon Elephant Spirit Seed. God Spirit Seed. Rune Spirit Seed. Secret Weapon Spirit Seed]

……

[Modified value: 26 (57%)]

The panel has changed a lot compared to before.

The most eye-catching column is the age column.

Directly reset to zero from the original two hundred years.

This is because his body was reborn and nurtured by the gift of the Eternal Ring.

The excessive time before naturally did not exist for him.

The age was naturally also cleared. Judging from the age of this snake, it was just over 28 days old.

Besides.

After the strength is improved to the Daoji level.

Talent: Distorted Light.

As well as the magical powers: the sword of will and the heavenly thread, both of which were fully lit up at this moment.

This situation also proves Hu Qi's guess.

It's not that being a black snake just happens to match the previous water control ability.

Rather, the supernatural powers belong to the entity.

Now the black snake is his true form.

This will happen as your strength increases.

Keep the magical powers lit up continuously.

Look at the triangular rune that can be used for improvement at the back of the Xuansha Mingshu Foundation Establishment Secret Record.

Hu Qi focused his thoughts directly on it.

"Xinhong, modify and upgrade the Xuansha Mingshu Foundation Establishment Secret Record to the fifth level."

After a few breaths.

The aura on Hu Qi's body became stronger.

At the same time, looking inward.

A lotus platform condensed in the body again.

Including the original one, there are five lotus platforms in total, which just correspond to the fifth level of Taoism.

His body also grew a little bit longer, reaching a length of nearly fifty meters.

As for the white spots on the scales, they were a little elongated.

The body becomes stronger, as if made of steel.

Look at the panel.

It has surprisingly become.

[Skill: Mysterious Evil Underworld Foundation Building Secret Record (Fifth Level)]

……

[Modified value: 6 (57%)]

The cost of upgrading one level is twenty modification values.

The remaining six points were no longer enough to improve again.

“It’s time to get some exercise and reap some modification value.

It's a pity that we can't communicate with the cave world at the moment, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Hu Qi muttered to himself.

Modification values ​​can come from a variety of sources.

But almost all of them are closely related to killing and devouring extraordinary life forms.

The world in the Dongxu space has a large number of modification values ​​that can be harvested.

However, now that he has been reborn and his real body has entered this world, it is somewhat difficult for him to communicate with the void space.

Unless you directly activate the spirit seed, sublimate it, and restore your own strength.

But if they do that, they will most likely be discovered by the powerful ones in this world, not to mention that there may be immortals among them.

therefore.

Currently, if you want to obtain the modified value, you can only harvest it slowly.

But then again.

It’s also nice to harvest it yourself.

After all, he did not forget the ability of his mutated soul-devouring talent to plunder the essence.

After these few experiences.

Just as he expected.

The more powerful the creature, the more essence it can provide him after swallowing it.

If he wanted to accumulate enough essence and quickly condense divinity, he couldn't stay in one place all the time.

"Well, isn't this natural hunting ground made for me?"

There was a strange look in Hu Qi's eyes.

After finishing the task, Hu Qi turned around and returned to the original cave.

Looking at the slightly messy scene, he simply told the two snakes to stay where they were and practice.

Although the cave was somewhat damaged because of him, fortunately it did not affect the concentration of spiritual energy at this spiritual vein node.

However, with Hu Qi's current vision, this concentration of spiritual energy is no longer worthy of his attention.

For Hu Qi, the current priority is to harvest modification value and accumulate his own essence.

While looking for a spiritual vein node with richer spiritual energy.

And of course he couldn't possibly bring these two burdens with him.

soon.

After Hu Qi left the cave for a distance, the light around him became strange and distorted, and his originally huge and winding snake body disappeared in an instant.

When he looked again, he had turned into the fat catfish spirit that had just been swallowed.

Hu Qi simply identified a direction.

He swam forward, waving his tail. The water created ripples behind him, and soon his figure disappeared.

……

At the bottom of a rocky lake, a huge black clam lay quietly.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the occasional undercurrent gently stirring up the mud and sand at the bottom of the water.

Suddenly, a slight movement broke the silence.

The black clam slowly cracked open a crack, and a ray of soft white light escaped from it.

Then, the black clam opened completely, revealing a graceful woman in black gauze sitting inside.

She raised her eyes slightly and cast her gaze towards the fat catfish spirit that was swimming towards this place.

asked softly.

"I wonder what orders the Demon King has?"

The sound was soft, but could be heard clearly in the silent water.

"It is because the demon king needs to marry his thirty-third concubine..."

The catfish spirit spoke in a hoarse voice with a somewhat strange accent.

As it spoke, its fat body slowly moved forward a little.

The woman in black veil nodded slightly, her expression calm.

"I see. Thank you for letting me know. I will go to attend the celebration of the Monster King as promised!"

However, at this moment, she seemed to sense something strange and frowned slightly.

"What are you doing so close to me?"

The catfish spirit did not answer.

It suddenly opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards the woman in black veil like a black lightning.

"Hmm? How dare you! You really don't know how to live or die!"

The woman in black veil raised her eyebrows and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

However, considering the other party's identity, she did not kill him after all.

With just a wave of his hand, an oval-shaped colorful bubble light shield instantly appeared and wrapped the fat catfish spirit that was rushing towards him.

The light shield emits colorful light and is particularly eye-catching in the dark underwater.

However, the next second.

With a "pop" sound, a crisp yet terrifying sound like a bubble bursting suddenly rang out.

The colorful bubble light shield that seemed extremely solid suddenly shattered in an instant, turning into countless fragments of light and shadow that dissipated into the water.

"how is this possible?"

The woman in black veil's expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

Before she had time to think, the black clam's shell quickly closed, protecting her tightly inside.

Bang!
Click!

With a loud bang, the hard black clam shell suddenly cracked like a fragile eggshell.

"You...who are you?"

Inside the black clam, the figure of the woman in black gauze began to flicker violently.

Just like the picture when the TV signal is poor, it flickers and may disappear at any time.

However, the other party said nothing and just kept hitting.

——Crack!

Along with the sound of the black clam completely shattering, the woman let out a shrill scream, and then her figure completely disappeared.

Where she originally was, there was only a round black pearl left, emitting a faint glow.

Then, a dark shadow flashed by.

The broken black clams and the pearls on them were swallowed into a bloody mouth.

A crisp chewing sound was heard at the original place, and the sound echoed in the silent water, making people feel creepy.
