Chapter 40 040 Demon (Part )
If people can turn into ghosts, then monsters will naturally turn into something else.

That is the devil.

Wang Wu would rather go to human society to find a way to get something to eat than go to Dead Soul Mountain to hunt, largely because of this.

He also talked to Rat Lady about this. After mentioning those demon 'fellows' in Dead Soul Mountain, Rat Lady suddenly stopped talking and just continued to advise Wang Wu not to target humans.

Unlike ghosts, which are transformed from the souls of dead humans, demons are not transformed from dead monsters. However, monsters can indeed become ghosts, and the process is the same as that of humans becoming ghosts, but it is rare.

The devil is a living monster that has lived for too long, its mind and body have become corrupted, its soul and spirit are entangled together, and it is full of chaos.

At this moment, the thing that appeared in front of Wang Wu and his group was a "demon".

Monsters don't die, or rather, they don't die of old age. Few human cultivators of lower realms can live for more than 500 years, but for monsters, as long as they transform, living for 800 years is easy.

Monsters don't age, so there's no such thing as "death from old age."

However, as they grow older, the monsters' rationality will become less and less, and even more and more blurred. The corruption of the soul will also be reflected in the flesh, and they will become ugly and rotten until they completely turn into "evil spirits".

It was a female monster, half of her body had been severely decayed, and she had both human and animal characteristics, while the other half still retained her original appearance.

A stunning beauty.

"It's over..."

Looking at the demon that appeared on the official road ahead, Li Yuan opened his mouth and muttered.

He had just used up his most precious treasure. He was just a cultivator of common origin. Although he was considered outstanding among his peers of the same generation, he was not a child of destiny or the hope of the sect.

Although he boasted to Wang Wu that he was very good and outstanding in the sect, in fact, basically any "outstanding talent" like him would get such an evaluation as long as he was not a lazy dog.

However, due to his background, his family could not provide him with a solid backing, so naturally he could not get more resources for cultivation. He could only practice with the basic resources provided by the sect like other civilian disciples.

He wanted to go further, and his talent also supported him to go further. But all this required resources, more resources meant faster progress, and faster progress meant a higher status and respect within the sect.

And this is also the reason why he came to Hedong County.

He heard from his friends that something like that had appeared near Hedong County, so he came here with the mentality of trying his luck. He wanted to see if he could become the lucky one, and also to earn more resources for his own cultivation.

Most cultivators like him who come from commoner backgrounds are like this. Unlike those disciples whose families have mines, they just stay in the sect to practice 365 days a year and have all kinds of resources available to them.

For people like them, once the resource quota provided by the sect is exhausted in a year, they have to find a way to go out and earn extra money to get more resources for cultivation.

Earn money for half a year, practice for half a year, everyone does this. Of course, there are also classic sect tasks.

It can be used to earn resources and win favor from higher-ups. If you do well and are noticed by a big boss in the sect, you won't have to worry about resources in the future.

The number of monks and disciples who die outside the sect every year is not many, but it is not a small number either. There will always be people who encounter some accidents.

Li Yuan is a very cautious person. The reason he accepted Wang Yin's commission this time was because the Forest of Dead Bones had just been cleaned up by the imperial court decades ago, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Even though there is a spider monster in the forest that is stronger than him, and there are several other monsters, Li Yuan feels that he has these fellow Taoists by his side. If they join forces, the spider monster is not stupid and will naturally know to retreat and avoid their attack.

What's more, there is a real realm warrior in the team. It is obvious at first glance that this guy comes from a famous family, and he must have some hidden treasures in his hands.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan also felt a glimmer of hope. Then he turned his head and looked at Wang Wu.

Although Wang Wu didn't take out anything when he faced the head behind him, and was forced to use the purple talisman given by the sect when he went out for training, it was painful but not bad.

After all, there is only one purple talisman per year, and no new one will be given if it is not used up. If you use it now, you can just get another one when you return to the sect.

“Brother Wang!” Li Yuan looked at Wang Wu and shouted, “Take out whatever you have hidden in your box!!! There are demons ahead and ghosts behind, now is not the time to save money!!”

Even though the paper heads behind them had been temporarily repelled, no one dared to look back. Likewise, no one dared to slow down.

But after seeing the monster in front of them, many people chose to run to the plain on the right.

However, when the first person who ran towards the plain heard the scream of his mount, followed by the sound of bones breaking, people immediately realized that this would not work.

"Ha, ha ha, bone...hiccup..."

The demon did not move, but still stood there, staring at Wang Wu and his group, with a creepy smile on his half-rotten face.

However, when she opened her mouth and uttered syllables that no one could understand, you could see the bones and flesh she was chewing in her mouth:
"Sigh...hahaha...hehe...ah, I vaguely..."

"Fuck, what treasure do I have?" Hearing Li Yuan's words, Wang Wu felt miserable. Behind him, after the monk surnamed Lu left, there was another monk.

But that guy's face was as pale as death at this moment. It was obvious that he didn't have any treasures and his strength was not that good either.

He was probably at a similar level to the cultivator surnamed Lu, but obviously, the family conditions of the cultivator surnamed Lu were not on the same level as his.

You know, the monk named Lu could easily take out something like the Body-Building Pill and give it to Wang Lan as a gift.

And this monk, just by looking at the Taoist robe he is wearing, you can tell that he is not in good condition.

Obviously, this guy can't be counted on. And now, the only hope for everyone may be Wang Wu, a real realm warrior who comes from a famous family.

After all, there are no real realm warriors born in poverty in this world. As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. At this time, facing the hopeful eyes of everyone, Wang Wu was speechless.

How could he be a real-realm warrior from a famous family? He was just a monster, a monster pretending to be a real-realm warrior!
But he also knew that under the current circumstances, even if he didn't go up, he would most likely die here.

Thinking of this, Wang Wu's eyes gradually became fierce.

Since we are going to die anyway, we have no choice but to fight.

"boom--!!!"

With a determined heart, Wang Wu jumped off his horse and stomped his legs on the ground, making a loud bang.

Then, he rushed forward like a cannonball.

"Hehe, ha, hehe...ah, hehe..."

In just a few seconds, Wang Wu had already crossed a distance of five or six hundred meters and approached the demon. As the Gengjin Qi in his body surged rapidly, the blood in his blood vessels under his skin began to boil, emitting a golden glow.

Not only the blood vessels, but also Wang Wu's eyes were shining with golden light.

'It disturbs the body and mind, hinders good deeds, and destroys good things'

'The killer, the evil thing, the worst of the evils'

"If one indulges in the six dusts and the five desires, he will be liberated."

'Moro Heavenly Demon Palm!!!'

Wang Wu roared, and golden light appeared in his palm. With unparalleled force, he used all the true energy that he could gather at the moment and blasted towards the demon in front of him.

'Snapped--'

A palm strike was thrown out, accompanied by a crisp sound, and the demon's head in front of Wang Wu exploded, and his body slowly leaned back and fell to the ground.

"what?"

Looking at the headless corpse in front of him, Wang Wu was a little confused.

“Did you really win??”

"Young man?" The golden light faded away, and the remaining power was gone. At this moment, a familiar voice came into Wang Wu's ears.

At the same time, there is that familiar face.

"It's you?"

The person who came was still Wu Lian.

She was wearing a monk-style robe and a jade crown on her head, and her golden eyes were looking at him quietly.

"Why are you here?"

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Wu came back to his senses, looked at her and asked.

At the same time, he also took a look at Wu Lian's outfit today. It was a very classic human monk's attire, and so was her aura.

If it weren't for Wang Wu's special ability, he might not be able to tell that Wu Lian was from the same clan as him. After all, this person was also able to sneak into the human city directly, but was discovered by Ximen Pei.

Speaking of which, Ximen Pei was able to discover Wu Lian's identity but couldn't discover his own. It seems that he is still better.

"I was ordered by Lord Ximen to go to Hexi County to handle some matters. I happened to meet the young man on the way." Wu Lian said.

At this time, the people behind him also rushed here. They naturally saw the palm that Wang Wu had launched before, and also saw the peerless beauty who appeared after that shocking palm.

With a jade crown and golden eyes, and a cold temperament, he gives people a feeling of indifference that keeps him thousands of miles away.

"I owe you a life." Wang Wu looked at Wu Lian and thanked her solemnly with a fist salute.

How could he not know who actually killed the demon? Only Wu Lian's strength could do this.

"Young man, there is no need to be so polite." Wu Lian nodded towards Wang Wu, then looked past him and at the people behind him.

When Wu Lian's gaze swept over them, everyone present suddenly felt a great sense of urgency and crisis in their hearts.

It was as if a sharp knife with a cold glow was pointing at them.

However, Wu Lian only glanced at everyone roughly, lingered on Wang Lan for a moment, and then looked at the Forest of Dead Bones in the distance.

"Someone performed a human sacrifice in that wood."

Retracting her gaze, Wu Lian looked at Wang Wu again and asked:
"Is this directed at you?"
