Look at the sky outside the window.

It's still early.

Niu Yuanping closed his eyes again and began to breathe out the essence of moonlight to stabilize his newly advanced level 4 demon-slayer soul core cultivation.

The moonlit night is refreshing, just waiting for dawn.

It seems that everything has returned to calm.

However.

The demon-slayers in Sioux City didn't know that among the demons and ghosts they had just killed, there were still some that slipped through the net!

Even Niu Yuanping didn't notice this.

now.

Thousands of miles away from Sioux City, deep in a forest, there is a mire and swamp, and something is coming out of it!

It was an extremely old tree stump.

On it, there are rough roots and rough bark, and curved branches and trunks!

By the moonlight, it rose slowly from the muddy water. The mud was covered with the tree body, and the smell was extremely fishy.

Even though this thing is so dirty and ugly, it is not an ordinary tree.

A tree stump that can be drilled out of a swamp is not an ordinary thing in itself.

really!

It didn't take long for the tree stump to shake rapidly and its branches to fly.

The mud that was originally stained on its body was quickly bounced away with the shaking, and was shot out in all directions.

Finally revealed its true colors!

An old locust tree with a human face growing on its trunk.

If Niu Yuanping were here, he would be surprised!

Because the aura of this old locust tree is exactly the same as the evil aura of the old locust tree he just killed!

Is it possible that there are so many trees and grass that have been dried to perfection?...

it's not true!

This is no coincidence.

This old locust tree is exactly the one that Niu Yuanping killed.

However, this is its true nature!

During the day, the tree killed by Niu Yuanping was just a clone it cultivated.

This is really a cunning rabbit!

On weekdays, it uses its clone to move around, but its main body is hidden in the swamps deep in the forest...

Never put yourself in real danger, always leave yourself a way out!

This is the evil locust tree, Xujue!

However.

At this time, Xu Jue's mood was extremely bad.

One move of the golden toad to escape from its shell, although it blocked a fatal disaster for it, but also caused Xu Jue to completely lose the clone that was extremely difficult to cultivate.

And inside that clone, there is still about half of Xu Jue’s cultivation power!…

Unexpectedly, this mistake caused such a huge loss.

Xu Jue was heartbroken to death.

I am also regretful to death!

At this moment, it stood in the swamp and let out a low roar.

"Stupid monkey!!...made me even stupider!!..."

If it weren't for cooperating with the so-called plan of the monkey spirit Lao Baimao, there would be no need to suffer the disaster now, and there would be no need to bear the loss of losing the clone.

It was completely dragged down by the monkey spirit.

But there is no way.

The reason why Xu Jue helped Lao Baimao was because he hoped to cultivate him into his own power.

From the beginning, this was its plan and its mission to stay in Dayan Kingdom.

If we can successfully let the monkey spirit lurk among the demon slayers, it will be very helpful for future plans!

This was one of the reasons why he was willing to take risks with his clone to help Old Baimao.

In addition, Xu Jue also believed that the plan was quite thorough.

There is definitely a chance for Lao Baimao to frame the identity of Yaoxie to Niu Yuanping, thus completely hiding Lao Baimao's true face.

But I didn't expect...

Niu Yuanping came out halfway.

I didn’t even expect that this person was so strong!

Not only did he completely see through the plot, he made Lao Baimao dig his own grave, and his clones also followed suit.

Moreover, that human being also hid his cultivation!

Xu Jue's clone has successfully killed a third-level demon-slayer like Zhu Yushun.

But I really didn’t expect that there was no chance of winning in front of Niu Yuanping!

There wasn't even a chance to escape.

Niu Yuanping's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything!...

This shocked Xu Jue.

It really couldn't figure out how could such a powerful person be born among the demon slayers for no reason?

"It seems...you should pay more attention to Niu Yuanping in the future!..."

Xu Jue stood in the swamp and tried his best to calm down.

Now that the damage has been done...it's useless to regret it anymore.

Now the clone has been lost.

From now on, I can only use my own body to act...

now.

The Xujue roots were pulled out from the mud of the swamp, carrying its trunk, and walked towards the edge of the swamp.

It wants to leave this forest.

Continue to look for targets that can be cultivated, and also want to find some opportunities to cultivate a clone again.

But.

Just a few steps away from the edge of the swamp.

Xu Jue immediately stopped moving forward.

It turned its human face towards the dark shadows of a forest!

As if he noticed something.

It kept staring at the dark shadow there.

"Stop being sneaky! Come out quickly!"

Xu Jue suddenly shouted in an old voice.

really.

Not long after its scolding voice fell, a pair of green eyes lit up in the darkness of the forest.

Immediately afterwards.

The owner of those eyes is approaching quickly!

In an instant, he had reached a place about one foot in front of Xu Jue.

By moonlight.

You can clearly see the appearance of the person coming.

It turned out to be a two-foot-long flower snake with two horns on its head!

Seeing this, Xu Jue immediately muttered, "Snake slave?..."

Obviously, it didn't expect this snake to appear here.
To be continued...
