Journey to the West: Building a Celestial Empire Starting from Lion Camel Ridge

The bone demon's chilling laughter echoed through the cave, and dust fell in rustling sounds.

The other lesser demons, not understanding what was going on, also laughed loudly when they saw their leader laughing wildly, and looked at Tao Fei and the other two with amusement.

Several lewd snake demons licked their lips, brazenly eyeing the trembling Tao Fei.

"That's a huge joke."

The White Bone Demon waved his hand, and the demons stopped laughing.

"The tactic of using reverse psychology won't work on me."

"However, I'm quite interested in what you said about the shelter's barrier being extremely peculiar. Tell me about it in detail."

"Yes."

Huang He's voice trembled slightly: "That barrier is not an incense barrier. I guess it might be some kind of talent or manifested supernatural power of Chen Ping'an himself."

"Neither the green snake nor the venomous snake could penetrate it; it's as if there's some kind of rule governing it."

"There was also an extremely powerful energy cannon in the shelter. The energy cannon was so powerful that my older brother, Gu Ping, didn't even have time to react before he was blasted to death, his body and soul destroyed."

"Even Gu Ping, who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage and possesses defensive magic treasures, couldn't defend against it?"

The Bone Demon frowned.

"Yes."

Huang He said respectfully, "I personally witnessed my elder brother using the magic weapon Mountain-Shaking Hammer, as well as several defensive magic weapons."

He had not seen it with his own eyes; it was a retelling from Tao Fei.

"interesting."

The White Bone Demon pondered, "The current situation in White Bone Town is extremely complicated. The Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, and the human race are all intertwined. The Three Kings have explicitly ordered us demon commanders not to interfere, so I'm powerless to intervene!"

The implication is that I want to protect you, but the boss won't allow it.

Huang He immediately understood what he meant and took out several treasures from his pocket, handing them over with some reluctance.

"OK."

"Since you're all so sensible, Snow Wolf, lead a squad of demon soldiers to investigate the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Bone Demon summoned the Snow Wolf and whispered a few words of instruction to him.

The latter's expression shifted, and he finally nodded emphatically.

......

After Wanyan Liang recovered from his injuries, he stood on the stone wall with Chen Ping'an and Fan Qiming.

The three of them looked into the distance.

To be precise, the focus was on the tree spirits among the bone demons in the distance.

"What kind of monster is this?"

There were a few monsters in Thorn Ridge, who were actually transformed from pine, bamboo, cypress and juniper trees. They composed poems with Tang Sanzang on the journey to the West. Later, because the Apricot Fairy insisted on having a intimate conversation with Tang Sanzang, she was killed by Pigsy.

But those were monsters from Thorn Ridge; Chen Ping'an was seeing them for the first time in Bone Town.

And judging from its appearance, it seems to be a huge weeping willow.

Countless tendrils soared through the air, their menacing power palpable.

Fan Qiming shook his head: "Never seen it before."

Wanyan Liang, who was standing to the side, also shook his head.

Neither of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators had ever seen it, which meant that it was indeed strange that this tree demon appeared in the ruins of White Bone Town.

The three watched with deep, solemn expressions. The tree demon had been pacing outside the barrier for a while, but then suddenly seemed to have made a decision and strode over.

This thing was six or seven zhang tall, with thousands of vines waving around it, each as thick as a baby's arm.

As it charged forward, hundreds of vines crashed down on the barrier.

The golden light of the barrier trembled.

[Durability: 95 -> 80]

Chen Ping'an's expression changed.

This thing is different from ghosts and bone demons; its dark gray bark provides extremely strong defense.

Even if each branch only has the ordinary power of a Qi Refining realm cultivator, the sheer number of branches striking down would be comparable to a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.

Moreover, since its vines are tens of meters long, its main body is not within the coverage area of ​​the arrow tower at all.

Arrow towers can only damage the vines, but cannot harm the root.

If this continues, the barrier will collapse sooner or later!

"Strike swiftly and kill him!"

Chen Pingan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, lord!"

Fan Qiming and Wanyan Liang exchanged a glance, then rushed straight out of the shelter and charged towards the tree spirit's true form.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the two Foundation Establishment Realm experts were completely outmatched by the tree spirit and couldn't even get within a ten-foot radius of it.

However, the two of them attacked, which greatly reduced the damage to the barrier, and the rapidly decreasing durability finally slowed down.

Although it's still falling, it's not as dramatic anymore.

......

Chen Ping'an had originally placed all his hopes on Fan Qiming and Wanyan Liang.

But seeing the two of them quickly covered in bruises, he was a little dumbfounded.

Not to mention him, everyone in the shelter was dumbfounded to see the two of them jumping around and using their magic weapons, yet still being defeated by the tree spirit.

Shouldn't it be a one-sided situation?

Shouldn't it be a one-sided victory?

Right now, it's definitely one-sided.

This looks like it's very bad for everyone in the shelter!

Everyone watched this scene with anxiety, then looked at Chen Ping'an, whose expression was solemn.

In their minds, no matter what predicament this young lord was in, he could solve it. Therefore, they were not so afraid. However, seeing the two Foundation Establishment experts in such a sorry state, they were truly terrified.

"These two guys, while unable to directly defeat the tree spirit, have at least bought some time."

Chen Ping'an's thoughts raced as he pulled out the control panel.

[Energy Tower Upgraded to Level 2]

【Consumes 400 Demon Crystals】

Please select the upgrade direction.

[1. Reserves increased to 1000 demon crystals]

2. The number of building module interfaces has doubled.

3. Increased aiming accuracy

Chen Pingan looked at the three options.

He immediately and decisively chose one.

There are not many buildings currently in the shelter, and the buildings that currently obtain energy from the energy tower are still within a controllable range.

The massive tree spirits, being slow-moving, require no additional aiming.

confirm!

With a low rumble, a faint light shone from the energy tower.

The entire tower has expanded compared to before, and its height has increased from ten zhang to eight zhang.

A thousand demon crystals fell into the energy tower.

next second.

Energy tower shape transformation.

To everyone's astonishment, the dark muzzle of the cannon reappeared.

The stone wall slowly descended, and the cannon muzzle was aimed at the tree demon that was displaying its ferocity and tormenting the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lock it in the air with a shake.

Everyone could feel a world-destroying aura brewing in the muzzle of the cannon.

"Brother Fan, Brother Wanyan, make way!"

Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Chen Ping'an's shout, the two immediately retreated.

Having witnessed the power of this energy cannon, Fan Qiming immediately ran as far as he could.

Wanyan Liang looked at the energy cannon with some curiosity.

"This is the thing that killed Gu Ping, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It doesn't even look particularly impressive!"

He was puzzled, but Fan Qiming pulled him back a long distance quickly.

The moment the purple dragon burst out of the cannon, a strong sense of unease surged through the hearts of the two.

It runs faster than a rabbit.

"The lord's energy cannon seems to be even more powerful!"

Fan Qiming said in a deep voice.

Wanyan Liang stared at the energy cannon, dumbfounded.

And it happened almost instantly.

The purple dragon roared out, and the wildly waving vines could not stop it in the slightest.

Amidst the flying dust, the energy beam struck the tree spirit with remarkable precision!
