Hidden Mountain Demon

Chapter 16
The hundred-mile path is not far away, but Ban Cang and his party are cautious.

Along the way, Chizui inspected the air, and if there were crowds, they would avoid them far away. It took more than two days.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they didn't go in right away, but found a remote forest. After recharging their energy, they watched the red sun slant westward before entering the mountain.

Qijue Ridge is very vast. On the continuous hilltops, the clouds and mist are misty. A group of one bird and two beasts walked on the animal path in the mountain. They all raised their hearts and shut their mouths tightly.

It turned out that before entering the mountain, Ban Cang was worried that the demon king in the mountain was very powerful, if he disappeared, they would not investigate for a while, and talking nonsense on the road violated a taboo, wouldn't he be wronged.

After all, none of the three of them had ever seen the legendary demon king who spewed clouds and mist, and they didn't know what his appearance, temper, and eating habits were like.

If one is not careful, wouldn't it be a pile of fresh meat in the opponent's stomach for nothing.

The three monsters entered the mountain step by step, and traveled another eleven or twelve li, but still saw nothing unusual.

The usually talkative red mouth couldn't hold back anymore, he flew down from mid-air and approached Ban Cang, whispering: "Brother Cang, is there really a demon king in this place? It looks different from our Da Cang Mountain."

Ban Cang was paying attention to the surroundings, heard the words around him, saw the calm wind and flat grass nearby, and replied in a low voice:
"How did I know that there are two large mountain ranges, Da Cang Mountain and Qijue Ridge, in the southeast of Cangcheng. Our hometown doesn't have them, so we can only look for them here. If Qijue Ridge disappears, we will probably have to look for them in the mountains behind. gone."

"..."

After all, the source of the news is also guessed by the dog demon, and no one knows what it is.

After walking another three or four miles like this, the three of them gradually relaxed their minds. They went so far into the mountain and there was no movement, maybe the demon king was still on the top of the mountain behind.

"Where did the unknown monster come from, dare to break into my family's mountain farm?" A broken gong-like voice exploded from my ears.

The three birds and beasts were startled, and hurriedly looked around.

I saw a rooster popping out from the hillside on the left at some time, with golden feathers and a red crown, colorful wings and a high tail.

Chi Zui in mid-air couldn't help wondering, he didn't notice it at all just now, as if it appeared suddenly.It seems that this is meeting the rightful owner, so he hastily landed, stood beside Ban Cang, and looked at him.

Seeing the three of them looking over, the rooster jumped off the rock, and a burst of red mist rose up, changing its appearance drastically.

It still has a chicken head on it, but the two wings have turned into human arms, and it is covered with a yellow cloth shirt. The color is not much different from the previous feathers, and the two chicken legs have turned into human legs. But there is no change.

Standing straight on the ground, like a five-foot-tall villain.

The big mouths of Chizui and Mahu almost fell to the ground, and they were really surprised by his hand.

As the eldest of the three, Ban Cang took a step forward, raised his body, and stood upright, with his two front palms interlaced, made a gesture of arching his hands, bowed, and said:

"I came here from Da Cang Mountain. I heard that there is a great king here with great magical powers and boundless magic power. I admire him so much that I traveled hundreds of miles to worship the mountain. I also hope that the king will take us in."

Seeing the leopard's behavior and words, the chicken demon was stunned, "Yo, I didn't expect it to be a person with refined bones."

He looked the three up and down again, and said in a broken voice: "Since you are here to worship the mountain, can you have that little demon in the mountain as a guarantee?"

"Guaranteed?"

It's a joke, whether there is a demon king in Qijue Ridge, they are not sure, where the little demon came as a guarantee.Ban Cang had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "We don't have a demon as a guarantee, the king's reputation is far and wide, and we came here based on his reputation."

"Oh! No protection?" The chicken demon folded his arms, half-closed his round eyes, and looked at the three with their heads turned, wondering what they were thinking.

The three looked anxious, and Ban Cang was about to ask, but the chicken demon said slowly: "Beasts outside the mountains, it is rare for those who come to worship the mountain without the guarantee of the demon." Two points of salivation.

Ban Cang looked wrong, and hurriedly said: "We have something important to tell the king."

"Important matter? Tell me and listen."

The chicken demon wiped his saliva, and asked in a serious manner before.

Ban Cang also put down his strength, and asked, "I don't know who the senior is?"

"Cough cough, you little monster doesn't know how to flatter you. If I ask you a question, you can tell me honestly. How can there be so much nonsense." The feathers on the chicken demon's neck exploded, exuding a strong demonic aura, and said angrily.

"The matter is really important, I can only talk about it after seeing the king." At this time, no matter how timid Ban Cang is, he has to pretend to be tough.

When I saw the red mist before, I had some concerns in my heart. It didn't match the legend that King Huang Yun was accompanied by Huang Yun when he came in and out. Now the chicken demon dared not admit it, he was afraid it was just a subordinate of the demon king.

As the saying goes, "The king of hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with." Now it seems that he is a difficult master, and he can't escape.Let's talk about it after seeing the Demon King.

Hearing this, the chicken demon's whole body exploded, and he waved his hands, screaming "Wah-wah", and rushed towards him with two sharp claws.

"Worse!" One bird and two beasts rushed forward with their monster aura.

At this moment, "Sir, wait a minute—" a long call came from the side.

"Boom, boom, boom",
Accompanied by the sound, several puffs of smoke of various colors suddenly rose around, almost surrounding Ban Cang in the middle.

But there are also a few little monsters. Beside the stone on the right is an old and skinny mouse monster, followed by a wild boar monster and two wolf monsters.

However, these little monsters just stood upright, their bodies were like human beings, and their whole body was still in the shape of a beast. Only the two hands of the rat monster turned into human hands.

It turned out that the three of Ban Cang had entered other people's circle unknowingly just now, and it was the rat demon who spoke just now.

Ban Cang's three gathered demonic aura managed to stop it for a while, but was broken by the chicken demon. Ban Cang turned around in a hurry, barely avoiding the vital parts of his head, and a bloody ditch had already been cut on his body by the chicken's claws.

But as soon as the blow was successful, the chicken demon stopped when he heard the mouse demon's long cry, staring at the mouse demon and shouting: "Lao Cang, what are you doing? Could it be that your skin is itchy and dare to stop the master from making a move."

"My lord was joking, how dare I, but I'm afraid this leopard is of some use." While speaking, he approached the chicken demon, and the two chattered head to head.

The chicken demon looked up from time to time to look at Ban Cang and his party in the middle of the arena.

Ban Cang and the others were surrounded in the middle, unable to escape, while Ban Cang was running his brain quickly, while watching the other side to discuss, the chicken demon frowned for a while, and rattled his hands for a while.

The three who watched were frightened.Look at Mahu's drooping head, it is estimated that his intestines are regretful now.

After a cup of tea, the chicken demon's brows gradually relaxed, as if the discussion was over, he looked up at Ban Cang and the others, patted the mouse demon's shoulder, and said with great regret: "That's all, that's all, Lao Cang will take it with you." Let them go into the hole."

The rat demon next to him quickly nodded in agreement.He yelled at Ban Cang and the others: "Since Master Si has spoken, I will take you guys up the mountain."
Ban Cang and the others didn't dare to stay longer, when they heard that they were going to take them up the mountain into the cave, they guessed that they wanted to see the Demon King, so they hurriedly followed the Mouse Demon obediently.

The chicken demon led several other little demons slowly towards the other side of the mountain.

Walking through a gentle slope, the rat demon turned around and the chicken demon had long since disappeared.The waist is also straightened, and the old wrinkled scalp is also stretched.

Then he looked at Ban Cang and his party with scorching eyes, Ban Cang hastily cupped his hands and tentatively said: "Thank you for saving my life, brother, we are grateful to you for your kindness."

"It's easy to say, easy to say," the mouse demon said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were all together.

A slender paw touched a few sparse beards, and continued with two big buck teeth: "I saved your life today, can you do me any favors?"

benefit?Well, this mouse monster is not a good guy, Ban Cang can only cry and say with a mournful face: "We were struggling in the mountains before, and this time we ran for hundreds of miles. We are very poor and have nothing. Honor your brother."

The dog demon next to him was also smart, and then he said: "In the future, when we have something good, we will definitely repay my brother. We dare not forget the kindness of my brother who saved my life today."

"That's right, I will definitely repay my brother in the future." Ban Cang, with his red mouth beside him, was busy agreeing.

The mouse monster looked at the three nodding and bowing promises, shook the hand holding the beard, pulled off a beard, waved his thin arm and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, just remember it, and remember to get it for me in the future." Just come."

Ban Cang and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

The rat demon stopped talking, turned his head and walked towards the mountain, Ban Cang and the others hurriedly followed, thinking about how to get some information about the mountain from the rat demon's stomach.
