HCB Chapter 268 Throwing away the corpse
Chapter 268 Throwing away the corpse
Since Cheng Feng and his companions, along with the snake, were so close to the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, it was impossible for it not to have noticed their presence.
But it hadn't mustered the courage even in narrower passages, and now it was even more wary.
They were afraid that Cheng Feng would start a fire on it and burn it down.
Having lived for so many years, the Nine-Headed Cypress is practically a spirit, if not already. It doesn't dare to make a move itself.
But it also has countless underlings.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Cheng Feng and the others, the Nine-Headed Cypress began to frantically lash its vines.
The corpses were thrown like sandbags onto the altar above.
"Damn, the Nine-Headed Cypress's methods are too dirty."
Cheng Feng watched as all sorts of shriveled or rotting corpses flew towards them like raindrops, and cursed inwardly.
Without hesitation, Cheng Feng immediately opened his Boundless Demon Eyes.
In an instant, a large number of light spots flowed out from the void like a galaxy.
Under Cheng Feng's control, they rushed toward the flying corpses.
When the two came into contact, a dazzling blue flame erupted, and the corpse turned to ashes in the boundless karmic fire.
The carrion beetles among them were naturally not spared either.
However, the corpse beetle is too small compared to a corpse, so some of them will eventually be flung out of the corpse.
In an instant, corpse beetles of all sizes were thrown onto the altar.
While maintaining the passage of the imaginary space, Cheng Feng raised his hand and ignited the Undying Dragon Flame.
"Damn it, I was even considering digging up the hydra cypress too, so it could live a little longer."
It seems better that it's dead now.
With a hint of annoyance, Cheng Feng waved his hand and hurled the dragon fire. The faint red flame slowly fell towards the nine-headed cypress below.
Compared to the surrounding bursts of blue flames, this wisp of red light was inconspicuous.
But as it drew near, the Hydra Cypress went berserk, frantically hurling its corpses at the wisp of flame.
However, the nature of dragonfire means that it will never be blocked by anything other than its target.
The corpses passed through the seemingly invisible flames without sustaining any damage.
Because of the angle, these corpses crashed onto the cliff face and were smashed to pieces, much to the misfortune of the corpse beetles living inside.
Finally, when the Hydra Cypress desperately attempted to attack Cheng Feng and his companions with all its vines,
The undying dragon fire drifted down onto its canopy.
The crimson dragon fire surged and burned fiercely in the tree canopy in just a few seconds, as if it had been poured into gasoline.
The snake's vines were burned to ashes, which also rendered it unable to attack Cheng Feng and his companions.
Seeing that the rain of corpses had stopped, the women surrounding Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
What just happened was probably the most thrilling encounter of this trip to Gutongjing.
It's not that I'm afraid of getting hurt or being in mortal danger, it's just that if a corpse falls next to me...
The splattered pieces of meat would probably cover them in awe; the mere thought of the power of such aged, rotten flesh sent chills down their spines.
"My God, that really scared me to death! I watched as that corpse came crashing down on me!"
For a moment, I didn't know how to hide!
As Huo Ling patted her chest to calm her breathing, the surrounding corpse beetles scurried away from the altar as if they had seen a ghost.
Now, even if Cheng Fengguang were standing here, the corpse beetles wouldn't dare approach him within ten meters.
Some unlucky corpse beetles that landed near Cheng Feng died before they even hit the ground.
"Fortunately, Lao Cheng's Dap Ghost Worm appeared in time, otherwise he would have been buried by the rotting corpse this time."
As she spoke, Yang Xueli kicked the corpse beetle hanging at her feet aside.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were taking pictures of themselves all over.
They felt that a lot of the ashes from the cremation had landed on them.
While the group was tidying themselves up, the Black-haired Serpent King stared down at the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, which was being burned by red flames.
This old acquaintance, which was originally revered as a sacred tree in the ancient city of Tongjing, is now truly ripe.
The memory the old snake king transmitted to it lasted only a moment, and only then did it truly realize just how terrifying the flames were.
At the same time, his awe of Cheng Feng grew even stronger.
After chatting with the girls for a couple of minutes, Cheng Feng looked down in surprise.
He hadn't expected the Hydra Cypress to be so resilient, enduring the burning of the Undying Dragon Fire for so long.
The nine-headed cypress has survived for so many years, its root system almost covering the entire ancient city of Gutongjing.
Therefore, killing it is particularly difficult; if simply destroying the tree trunk could solve the problem...
At that time, Zhang Qishan and others were not entirely helpless.
From the altar above, Cheng Feng and the others watched as flames rose from the ground, forming a beautiful tree root-shaped fire.
'Ding~'
The quest to clear out the Hydra Cypress is complete.
Reward: Perfect Corpse Beetle Pill
Do you wish to collect it?
Finally, under the relentless burning of the undying dragon fire, the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress was completely extinguished.
“I won’t accept it.”
Cheng Feng couldn't use any of these rewards right away, so he planned to collect them all when he got back.
Having dealt with the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress, Cheng Feng only had one last thing to do in this ancient city of Tongjing.
Since Cheng Feng had promised the Black-haired Snake King about the snake's den that was suspected to be a fragment of an extraterrestrial meteorite, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
After a moment's thought, Cheng Feng said to Yang Xueli and the other girls:
"You've all come a long way and look disheveled. Why don't you go and rest in the imaginary space?"
I'm going to move the snake's nest, which might cause a collapse, and there are some risks outside as well.
The women nodded in agreement. There were ashes everywhere outside, and they couldn't wait to go back, wash up, and change into clean clothes.
Cheng Feng then used his Mirror Transformation ability to bring the women into the City of Evil Luo Sea.
At this moment, only Cheng Feng and the Black-haired Snake King remained outside.
“Let’s go too, let’s help your tribe move their homes.”
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, the Black-haired Snake King nodded in agreement.
This time, Cheng Feng walked in front, and the Black-haired Snake King slowly followed in Cheng Feng's footsteps.
During this time, it looked at Cheng Feng's seemingly unguarded back and felt only awe, not daring to entertain the slightest thought of sneak attacking him.
The Black-haired Snake King was wise enough to know what was going on; what it didn't know was that Cheng Feng had a third, invisible eye.
Cheng Feng watched closely as the snake king behind him made every move.
Once it makes a sneak attack, the illusion will be immediately set up, and a black-haired snake will appear as a specimen in Cheng Feng's living room.
Cheng Feng's memory is beyond question; he quickly returned to the temple where the nine-headed cypress statue was originally placed, following the same route.
After glancing at the scaffolding above, Cheng Feng decided not to climb it.
He also found going up and down all the time annoying.
At this moment, Cheng Feng looked into the eyes of the Black-haired Snake King, and the illusionary power of the third eye was applied to the Snake King.
The Black-haired Snake King was pulled into the illusion by Cheng Feng without any ability to resist.
The illusion Cheng Feng created was his living room, where various powerful monsters he had killed were displayed.
For example, the White Wolf King, the guardian of the Demon Kingdom; the Yulang Long Worm and the Meat Fungus Tai Sui of Yunnan Insect Valley; and the Queen's Coffin with Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue.
Everything that was destroyed in reality, or that was unsuitable for the living room, was brought to life in the fantasy world of Miles Wind.
