Chapter 92: Thunder and fire are annihilated [seeking for further reading]
"No, no, no, Great Immortal, don't get me wrong, we really didn't invite anyone from the Department of Ghosts and Gods."
"This is not the first time we have dealt with each other, Daxian..."
"Great Immortal, please don't leave yet. I will negotiate with the Master of Ghosts and Gods..."
...
The middle-aged man who led the caravan explained repeatedly, and then the snake demon settled down, stared coldly, spit out snake letters, and said nothing.
The caravan leader breathed a sigh of relief. Then he cast his eyes on Chu Chen and said with a smile:
"Master, look, please help me explain. We are just crossing the road and giving some tolls to the monsters in the mountains. I think you are a sensible person, hehehehe."
Chu Chen was wearing the standard Taoist robe of the Ghosts and Gods Division of Dachang Immortal Court, but from his appearance, his Immortal rank could not be seen.
The leader called him "Master", which was obviously to flatter him, and wanted him to say a few words of good will. It would be best to turn a blind eye and leave on the spot.
In this way, the misunderstanding of the snake demon was resolved.
Chu Chen had this idea in mind from the beginning, not to interfere, turn a blind eye, and turn around to leave.
However, Chu Chen was not in a hurry to leave now.
He was keenly aware of something unusual.
Since he appeared, both the snake demon in the black mist and the caravan leader seemed flustered and guilty at first.
If it were just to pay the toll, it would be understandable for the snake demon to feel guilty, but there was absolutely no need for the caravan to feel guilty.
It is an unspoken rule for caravans to pay tolls to monsters along the way, and it is not easy for the Ghosts and Gods Department to interfere.
If the Ghosts and Gods Division intervenes, then the caravan will have a problem.
Since you, the Ghosts and Gods Department, are in charge, you should just be responsible to the end and clean up all the monsters along the way.
Otherwise, if you occasionally beat the autumn wind and kill a few monsters, the caravan will be the unlucky one in the end.
Therefore, the Ghost and God Division acquiesces to these matters and generally never interferes.
The other party feels guilty, which proves that things may not be that simple.
This is still the area of Xin'an County. As the fifth person in charge of ghosts and gods in the county, Chu Chen certainly cannot turn a blind eye to things involving demons and gods, as well as hidden things.
"Really?"
Chu Chen asked in a playful tone like a cat playing with a mouse.
That confident look seems to be telling everyone that something happened to you.
There was a sudden commotion in the caravan, and there was a lot of discussion.
The leader of the caravan, a middle-aged martial artist who has been traveling around the world for many years, has no expression on his face and salutes with his hands raised:
"Master, please stop joking. The matter is quite urgent. There are dozens of us brothers, plus our wives, children and elderly people. Hundreds of us are running businesses to make money to support our families. You just said this so casually..."
"You seem to be a righteous man at first glance. Please show your respect to the Master and let us go. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
The words of the caravan leader were sincere and pitiful, and they were sound and well-founded.
Although Chu Chen felt that there was something fishy in it, after hearing these words, he was immediately stopped by it.
After all, he only had suspicions and no strong evidence at all.
If the guess is wrong, everyone in the caravan will suffer heavy losses, lose a reliable trade route, and even lose their jobs. This will indeed affect many families.
For a moment, Chu Chen was in a dilemma.
At this time, the cattle, horses, sheep, donkeys and other animals in the caravan became irritable one by one, and kept neighing loudly and shrilly.
Among them, a strong donkey broke free from the rope and rushed straight towards Chu Chen.
"Stop him, don't let him escape."
The caravan leader's expression changed and he shouted loudly.
There was a commotion in the caravan, and two martial arts guards with quick eyesight and quick hands pushed the donkey to the ground.
The donkey kicked its hooves wildly and made a shrill neighing sound.
During the struggle, the donkey's head turned towards Chu Chen, his eyes full of emotion.
Chu Chen was startled.
The donkey knew that it was about to become a tribute to the demon and asked him for help?
How can a mere donkey be so spiritual!
What's more, the other sheep and donkeys in the caravan also looked at him with complex "anthropomorphic" looks.
These sacrifices to demons and animals were clearly asking for help from him.
This scene is so familiar.
At first, he was transformed into a donkey by someone using the "transformation technique" and hung up at the entrance to the downtown area for sale.
He was so helpless at that time!
At this moment, Chu Chen understood something.
"Transform into animals, sacrifice to demons as tribute...what a guy! It turns out to be a complete human trafficking industry chain, it's so crazy!"
Chu Chen was surprisingly angry, angrier than ever before.
Human trafficking! Damn it!
You should be damned if you sacrifice your own people to demons for profit!
He has empathy.
If he hadn't been lucky and escaped from the clutches of some people unknowingly, was caught by a farmer and taken to the market entrance to sell, and met his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, his fate would probably be the same as those before him.
"Sheep" and "donkey" are the same.
Every time he thought of this, Chu Chen felt a little scared.
After entering the Department of Ghosts and Gods, he had long secretly made up his mind to find out the mastermind behind turning himself into a "donkey", save them all, and beat them to pieces, destroying both body and soul.
The snake demon and the caravan leader did not understand what Chu Chen meant by the "human trafficking industry chain", but they did understand the two key words of "transforming into animals" and "human trafficking".
For a moment, the caravan leader's face turned pale.
In the black mist, the snake demon also looked ugly. Snake Xinzi vomited again and again and said flatteringly:
"This mage from the Ghosts and Gods Division was the eldest brother who traded with their caravan before. I just defeated and expelled him two days ago and took over this area not long ago. This is my first time doing it. I have never traded with them before.
Please tell me, Master, I am a good demon!"
When the snake demon saw that the matter was exposed, he jumped out first, sold the caravan, and picked it out himself.
Chu Chen glanced at the snake demon, his eyes were cold and murderous.
"You are a poor three-year-old child, let me fool you! You bastard, if you dare to devour the human race, you must be punished!"
When the snake demon in the black mist heard this, he stopped pretending, spitting out snake letters and roared:
"Little Taoist priest, do you really think I'm afraid of you? If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. I just don't want to offend the Ghosts and Gods. If you don't leave the Yangguan Road, you will destroy yourself!"
The snake demon said "Great Immortal" in one mouthful, and his tone was quite loud, and he seemed to be able to defeat Chu Chen.
In fact, at this point, the two sides have completely lost their skin.
Either you die or I die.
The snake demon didn't dare to let Chu Chen escape. Once it escaped, it would definitely be wanted by the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the trouble would be endless.
Chu Chen snorted coldly, hoping to meet a tough demon.
Just in time, you can try the power of the "thunder bomb" bombardment released by fifty yellow scarf warriors.
Pinch the hand to send out military tactics.
Two hundred soldiers and horses appeared out of thin air.
"Little Taoist priest, hahaha, where is your inner-refined divine general? There is no inner-refined divine general, right? With this little ability, you still dare to show off in front of this great immortal!"
The snake demon in the black mist saw only two hundred soldiers and horses, and there was no inner-refined god general. He had already met the stupid young Taoist priest who had just left the apprenticeship.
Immediately overjoyed
Chu Chen smiled, murderous intent overflowing:
"If I kill you, why should I let the general go?"
Raising his arms and calling out, fifty yellow scarf warriors in the urn had "Magic Thunder Talisman" in their left hand and "Thunder Pill" in their right hand.
"Boohoo!"
Fifty thunder pills turned into a curtain of rain, covering the sky and the earth, and blasted into the black mist.
When the snake demon saw the attack from the soldiers and horses in the urn, he was not afraid at all and had no intention of avoiding it. Instead, he chose to confront the enemy head-on.
Whirring whirring!
The black mist turned into a giant shield, trying to block the thunder bullets.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
There were bursts of thunder, roaring across the sky.
The black mist spiritual shield released by the snake demon was as thin as paper under the blast of thunder bombs, and instantly melted and shattered.
Thunder bombs disappeared into the black mist one after another.
Then, explosions sounded one after another in the black fog, shaking the sky and the earth.
"Ahhhhhhh~"
The snake demon struck by the thunder bomb screamed in pain, and the snake's body twisted violently, suffering unbearable pain.
This is not over yet!
The most powerful thing about "Thunder Bomb" is the power of thunder released later.
Thunder flashes and crackles.
The black mist around the snake demon suddenly turned into a cloud of fire, burning non-stop.
Not long after, a snake bone fell from the fire cloud and fell to the ground.
On the other side, the caravan members who had been affected by the war and were hiding in all directions looked back and saw this scene, with horror in their eyes.
A ninth-level snake demon in an instant?!!
The caravan leader looked pale and was trembling all over.
