Headless Immortal

Chapter 66 Breaking into Fanlou

"I regret coming here."

Cheng Yan looked at Lü He and sighed, "You've ruined Brother Lü's life."

Lü He said, "It was my suggestion to take a walk. You've already shown me great tolerance by not complaining."

"If I hadn't been swayed by the talk of the Southeast, how could such a series of incidents have occurred..." Cheng Yan took the blame back.

He now fully understands this principle.
Promises made by others are not valid; only decisions you can make yourself are valid.

What can make that decision?
strength!

Without strength, one can only be slaughtered by others.

I was almost eaten whole at the ghost market.

just now……

The two people and the rat were soaked in three separate bathtubs, each seemingly tailor-made for them, with Gray Treasure's tub being a washbasin.

Hot soup flowed continuously, and Xiaodie stood aside watching with a smile. Several women of above-average appearance, dressed in plain clothes, accompanied her to prepare for their bathing and changing.

Even one of them stood by Gray Treasure's basin, brushing Gray Treasure's fur with a soft brush.

Grey Treasure seemed to be enjoying himself, leaning comfortably against the wooden tub.

Lu He felt extremely awkward. He came from a humble background and had never been served by anyone before, let alone by a woman of such beauty.

Even though he was in a trap, the beautiful scenery still made him squat down, bury his head in the hot spring, and spit out a few bubbles.

The proverb is equally impressive.

He did come from a slightly better family, but he wasn't from a wealthy one.

I remember my grandfather saying that if bandits captured a wealthy family as hostage, they would test them like this: those who could endure the service without any unusual expression were nobles, while those who looked away and were uncomfortable were poor people.

The poor were killed, while the rich left letters, telling their families to pay money to save their lives.

……

Whether it's a den of thieves or a den of monsters, you must remain calm.

After a bath, she donned a fine silk and embroidered indigo robe, tied her long hair with a wooden comb to form a turban, wore a white jade belt at her waist, carried a sword on her left, and had a sachet hanging on her right.

Indeed, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.

Normally you wouldn't guess it, but dressed like this, the two of them really do look like elegant young gentlemen.

Hui Bao has a plum blossom on her head and an embroidered bib hanging on her chest.

Xiao Die performed a deep curtsy and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

Sticking your neck out is the same as sticking your neck out; you'll get cut whether you stick your neck out or not.

come on!

The two exchanged a smile, which was quite generous and open-minded.

……

Crossing the damp, chilly alleyway felt like entering a different world. The long street stretched across the misty river, its banks ablaze with red, leading to an arched bridge that led towards Fanlou. The building resembled both towering mountains and flowering trees, with acrobatics, variety shows, entertainers, and geishas like blossoming petals adorning the dreamlike scene.

Such a grand event had no guests; the liveliness seemed to exist only within Fanlou, with the long banks of the river deserted.

blah blah blah!

A cat's paw stepped onto the arched bridge.

It was Lu Xun, the black cat who had come to investigate.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he chose to sneak in as a cat.

He was about to continue on his way.

suddenly,

A deep and authoritative voice rang out: "Where did you come from, you little monster? So ignorant of manners! Don't you know that the master is entertaining distinguished guests here? Why don't you leave at once?"

A monster, about four feet five or six inches tall and with a rat's head, fell from mid-air.

The flying squirrel monster has two fleshy wings on its back, wears an ochre-yellow robe, and holds a steel fork.

The black cat squinted its golden eyes.

The flying squirrel in front of me that can speak human language is clearly extraordinary.

Without turning around, he used his legs to propel himself into a run.

"How brave!"

The flying squirrel soldier raised his steel fork and threw it.

With a loud thud.

The steel fork missed its target and became stuck in the bridge deck.

The black cat was completely unaffected.

The flying squirrel soldier's fleshy wings suddenly burst open, and the entire monster soared into the air. It swooped down, grabbed the steel fork, and charged toward the running black cat, quickly closing in on the old cat.

This time, instead of throwing the pitchfork, it used it to stab the black cat. At such close range, even if the cat could react in time, it wouldn't be able to dodge it.

stamp!
The black cat and its bizarre postures change shape.

The flying squirrel soldier pulled out the steel fork and stabbed again.

Swift as a sudden rainstorm.

However, the black cat not only failed to be caught, but had already run across most of the long bridge. If it was not caught soon, the cat would break into Fanlou.

It abandoned its steel fork and flew close to the ground, its claws reaching for the old cat.

The old cat leaped into the air. "A great opportunity!" The flying squirrel soldier was overjoyed. It had wings and could change direction at any time. With a twist of its body, it caught up with the old cat.

The black cat was different. No matter how strong its body was, it couldn't change its posture much. It had already anticipated the scene of catching this cat spirit, and it gripped the cat spirit tightly with both paws.

Hey.

The black cat leaped upwards, going a great distance.

The flying squirrel lost control and plunged into the thick plank of the long bridge, landing face-first in the mud.

"Wow!"

"I'm so angry!"

The flying squirrel soldiers roared and flapped their wings to create a strong gust of wind that enveloped the area in front of the long bridge.

Even with Lu Xun's superb cat-walking skills, he couldn't maintain his balance in the turbulent airflow.

The flying squirrel drew closer once more, determined not to believe that it couldn't control a nascent spirit that only knew how to absorb and exhale moonlight, even with its magic.

"Head transplant".

The black cat in mid-air instantly transformed into a white ape.

Although Wutong Mountain Lord's seven-foot frame was unsteady, he firmly planted his feet, his legs rooted to the ground like old trees, his snow-white hair fluttering in the strong wind.

The red-faced, fanged monster opened its mouth:
"Let's play in the water!"

puff.

Water columns suddenly rose from both sides of the long bridge, transforming into tangible water arrows.

All that could be heard was the howling of monkeys in the wind.

Like raindrops, they swept away.

The flying squirrel soldier was startled. Cats and monkeys were completely unrelated. If this kind of change was possible, how could a little monster like it resist?

However, it did not sit idly by and wait for its death. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed its magic power to create a raging gale, and dense wind blades met the rain of arrows.

The water arrow and the wind blade canceled each other out in mid-air.

The flying squirrel was slightly outmatched by the gale, and hurriedly spread its fleshy wings to protect its body.

Over here, Wu Tong Lu Xun took three steps in two, closing in and unleashing a punch in his ape form.

call out!
A yellow ribbon billowed in the wind, shielding the flying squirrel soldier from an iron fist.

"Sister Cai, let's work together to take it down!"

The flying squirrel was overjoyed to see who it was. For a moment, it had sensed danger and feared it might not be a match for the red-faced monster.

Now that Sister Cai is helping us, this hairy monster is nothing.

The stunning woman in yellow slowly withdrew her yellow silk ribbon with a cold expression: "Guests are welcome. The master asked me to invite you to the banquet."

The flying squirrel bowed with its fork and flew into the air.

Lu Xun stared at the woman who blocked his iron fist. Behind her, a pair of transparent cicada wings were faintly visible, complementing her yellow dress perfectly, like fairy silk.

'Another powerful monster,' he thought to himself.

The woman in the yellow dress gestured for them to enter and said, "Please, guest."

Lu Xun did not enter Fanlou but walked towards the bridge.

A hint of doubt flashed in the woman's eyes, but it was quickly dispelled by her cool demeanor.

Monsters are sometimes more sensible than humans. Humans don't know when to back down and insist on taking risks. Perhaps it's because wild beasts dare not get hurt easily, and this ape monster is probably the same; after understanding the strength of both sides, it will quietly retreat.

The ape-like monster picked up the dark blue-green skirt armor at the bridgehead, dusted it off, and tied it around its neck.

Nod with satisfaction.

He then walked towards the woman and said, "Roar."

A look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. She hadn't expected the ape monster to not retreat but instead put on a skirt armor. It was quite polite of it.

Since the infiltration attempt failed, Lu Xun figured he might as well just go in openly.

It's not good to be naked.

"please."

Wu Tong Lu Xun followed the woman in yellow toward Fanlou.

Gazing at the magnificent skyscrapers, Lu Xun's mind wandered far away.

Half of my attention was focused on the strange space.

[Was the skull of Chen Sheng, the leader of the Tuolong Water Village, smashed?]

"Crush"

[Received ashes: 1.2 taels]

Cremated remains: 4.9 taels

'As long as the strength doesn't lie in the Ape Dance, the remaining four major spells are all immediate combat abilities.'

Lu Xun thought to himself.

"strengthen."

[Strengthen the skull of the Five Gods 'Mountain Lord']
