Chapter 77 Looting Storage Bags (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)

Li Shizhou glanced at the newly appeared giant ape and felt that the number of Yin beasts gathered was already sufficient.

So he and Zijing jumped down from the wall, which was more than 20 feet high, and landed on the ground with a loud bang, creating two large craters.

Emerging from the crater, the man and the beast vanished in a blur, each lunging toward the opposing Yin Beast.

Upon entering the horde of Yin beasts, the silver spear in Li Shizhou's hand gleamed with a cold light and emitted a sharp whistling sound as it pierced the air.

This silver spear is an ancient treasure, and its tip is naturally extremely sharp.

He would stab, poke, or cleave, each strike killing a Yin Beast on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Yin Beasts had perished, their blood staining the ground red.

The Purple-Eyed Beast was even more ferocious; it transformed into a golden stream of light and climbed upwards along the body of a giant ape-like beast.

Upon reaching the head, it casually slapped the giant ape-beast's eye into its skull with a palm the size of a washbasin, causing blood and brain matter to splatter everywhere.

In less than two breaths, the giant ape was dead. Its mountain-like body went limp and fell helplessly to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The mortals on the city wall, seeing this, were no longer alarmed; instead, their faces began to show excitement.

After a while, shouts rose and fell on the city wall, one wave higher than the next.

The five cultivators standing on the stone platform in the middle of the small town breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, and their clenched fists finally relaxed.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, none of the more than three hundred various kinds of Yin beasts outside the city could move.

With a command given, the wooden gate that had been hanging at the city gate was slowly lowered to the ground.

Hundreds of armed mortals rushed out of the city.

The battle was now over. Li Shizhou watched the approaching crowd while wiping the blood-stained spear in his hand.

After these mortals arrived, they first bowed to Li Shizhou, and then rushed towards the corpse of the Yin Beast, swinging their weapons at the Yin Beast's head.

After carefully wiping the blood off his spear, Li Shizhou rode his level-six Purple-Eyed Bixie towards the small town.

Before they even reached the stone platform, five cultivators came to greet them, all with smiles on their faces.

The gray-robed elder praised Li Shizhou, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you are truly remarkable. Today, I, Xiao, have had my eyes opened."

Li Shizhou replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I merely relied on my strength to gain some advantage in the Netherworld."

"Fellow Daoist Li is truly humble. Even in the cultivation world outside, your physical body is extraordinary."

The group walked and talked, and soon entered the council chamber.

After taking his seat, Li Shizhou got straight to the point and asked, "I wonder when you will send someone out to help me search my storage bag? I am worried about my family and hope to be able to go out and reunite with them as soon as possible."

The gray-robed elder replied, "I understand your feelings, fellow Daoist. However, there are still quite a few Yin Beasts nearby. I estimate that we will need to kill two more waves before the mortals can safely go out to collect the materials. Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, it will only take two days."

He had barely finished speaking when two burly, dark-skinned men jogged into the council chamber.

One of them took out a cloth bag from his pocket and respectfully said to the gray-robed elder, "Elder, all the Yin Beast corpses have been searched this time. The Yin Nether Beast Crystals are all here, a total of twenty-four pieces. Please take a look."

After taking the contents, the gray-robed elder poured them onto a small wooden table and began to count them in front of Li Shizhou.

After counting, he put half of it into a bag and handed it to Li Shizhou, then said, "Fellow Daoist Li, as we agreed before, this half of the Yinming Beast Crystal is yours."

Li Shizhou took it and said, "Then I will wait two more days. I hope you won't give me a perfunctory answer then."

The gray-robed elder replied firmly, "Fellow Daoist Li, please rest assured, I will never break my promise. Even if there are still Yin beasts on the road, those mortals will kill them on their own, and it will not delay the collection of storage bags."

"That's good."

After chatting with a few people in the council hall for a while, Li Shizhou took his leave and returned to his house.

Two weeks later.

Looking at the colorful, mountain-like storage bags in front of him, Li Shizhou's face showed both joy and a hint of worry.

Because the number of storage bags collected during this period was simply too large.

Xiao Xingyan was very trustworthy. After Li Shizhou killed more than 300 Yin Beasts the first time, he ordered someone to send over the storage bags that had been collected in the village.

At that time, the number of storage bags had already reached more than two hundred.

After killing two more waves of Yin Beasts, Xiao Xingyan sent out all the able-bodied mortals from the village.

The storage bags were gradually retrieved and delivered to Li Shizhou's room; there are now more than eight hundred of them.

He prepared five bags when he entered the Underworld, but this is only the first village, so it seems that they will definitely not be enough.

Even if we find some more bags, and he carries some on his own body and Zijingbi carries some on his body, it will only add up to a dozen or so bags at most.

Helpless, he could only begin to select from these storage bags.

First, he tossed aside the storage bags that looked like those of low-level cultivators, and then he put aside the shriveled ones.

Li Shizhou spent almost half the night selecting time to separate the more than two hundred storage bags and then packed them into two separate bags.

As for the rest, he dug a hole in the house and buried them, so that he could take them back if he had the chance to come in later.

Having plundered most of the good stuff around this village, Li Shizhou prepared to head to the next human settlement.

He tied the openings of the two bags tightly, then connected them with a rope and hung them around the neck of the Level 6 Purple-Eyed Bixie.

Upon exiting the room, one finds the area already filled with people, including five cultivators and a group of ordinary people.

These people were all there to see him off, and when they saw him come out, they all began to say goodbye.

"Everyone, I'm leaving now. Please take care."

Without further ado, Li Shizhou flipped onto the Purple-Eyed Bi and walked along the path that the crowd had spontaneously parted to make way for him, heading towards the outskirts of the city.

Another human settlement in the land of the underworld.

A woman with a slender figure and wearing a wooden hairpin in her hair pushed open the door and entered a house, carrying a simple meal in an earthenware bowl.

Once inside, she said to a woman in black, "Sister Yuan, have something to eat. Perhaps your husband is on his way to find you."

The woman in black was Yuan Yao, who had been sucked into the Netherworld along with her. She looked somewhat haggard at the moment. After accepting the ceramic bowl, she said, "Thank you, Sister Su."

Yuan Yao quickly finished the food in her bowl and went out towards the city wall. Along the way, men would stare at her and look her up and down with ill intent.

As soon as Yuan Yao stepped onto the city wall, she looked into the distance and her previously low spirits suddenly turned into immense excitement.

About a mile away, a man holding a silver spear, carrying a long sword on his back, and riding a golden tiger-shaped demon beast was seen rushing towards them.
