The scum is all over the world, and there are Shura fields everywhere

Chapter 271 Marrow Cleansing Pill

When the middle-aged Taoist priest approached the mountain temple, he sensed that the temple was filled with a strong evil aura. He already knew that this was a powerful monster.

But when he actually saw Heng Ye, he realized that he had underestimated the other party's strength.

The opponent is definitely not an ordinary big monster. His cultivation is unfathomable. If they were to fight, he would have absolutely no chance of survival.

As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The middle-aged Taoist decided to escape without hesitation.

But before he could run far, he was hit from behind by a demonic force.

He was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground.

It seemed as if all his internal organs were shattered by this blow.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was lying on the ground, spitting blood. He used his hands and feet to try to get up and escape again, but when he raised his head, he saw Heng Ye had been standing in front of him without him knowing when.

He was so frightened that he trembled and shouted in fear: "Don't kill me, I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest. I was bewitched by the village chief. He said there was a monster here that was harming people, and he insisted on dragging me here to exorcise the monster. It was also his idea to set fire to the temple. If you want to kill him, kill him. Please spare me!"

As he said this, he knelt down in front of Hengye with a plop, crying and sobbing, completely losing his previous sage-like temperament.

Just at this moment the village chief woke up.

He just happened to hear what the middle-aged Taoist said. He was so angry that he struggled to get up and cursed.

"You are such a stinky Taoist priest! It was you who asked me to set the fire. You said that only in this way could the monster hiding in the temple be forced out. Now you are confusing right and wrong? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest did not talk back even after being scolded, and still refused to admit it: "It's not me, it's really not me, please spare me, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything!"

Hengye first looked at the Taoist priest, then looked at the village chief, and suddenly asked.

"Did you hire this Taoist priest to deal with us?"

The village chief shrank his shoulders guiltily and denied hastily: "No, I didn't!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest said hurriedly: "It's him! He was the one who pulled me here!"

The village chief immediately retorted: "I was originally planning to go to the Taoist temple, and I happened to meet you on the way. I didn't pay attention to you at first, but you took the initiative to approach me and insisted on taking me here to exorcise the demon!"

Hearing this, Hengye seemed to understand something and his expression became playful.

His gaze returned to the middle-aged Taoist priest and he spoke slowly.

"Your disguise is pretty good, but unfortunately, your skin can't hide anything from me. There is no monster in this world that can hide from my eyes."

These words made the middle-aged Taoist's face change again and again.

He was about to argue, but before he could say anything, a claw stepped on his chest.

He was trampled to the ground and couldn't get up. At the same time, his body began to change. His facial features turned into a monkey face with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks. His skin grew dense dark brown hair, his limbs became slender, and his palms and soles turned into claws.

In the blink of an eye, he turned from a well-dressed Taoist priest into a monster.

This scene shocked both Yang Rongrong and the village chief.

Yang Rongrong didn't expect that this middle-aged Taoist priest was actually a monster in disguise.

The village chief's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "How, how could this be? How could you be a monster?!"

Hengye looked at the monster struggling desperately but unable to break free, and introduced it leisurely: "This thing is called a mandrill, it usually lives in deep mountains and old forests, and likes to eat human hearts. He must have known that there are monsters here, so he wanted to come here to catch monsters in the name of a Taoist priest. As for why he set fire to the temple? It's because I set up a barrier around the mountain temple. No monster can enter the mountain temple. He can't get in, so he can only set fire to force people out."

Yang Rongrong suddenly realized that this was the truth!

She then asked curiously, "It is a monster itself, why do we need to catch monsters?"

"Catching monsters is just a cover. Its real purpose is the monster pill. As long as it kills the opponent, it can take away the opponent's monster pill, and then refine it to greatly increase its cultivation." Such things are not uncommon in the monster world. Heng Ye is no longer surprised.

When the mandrill found out that his true identity and purpose had been revealed, he became more and more frightened and desperate.

It was indeed coming for the demon pill, but it did not expect the opponent's strength to be far superior to its own. At this moment, it was already regretting its decision.

The village chief was extremely shocked by this reversal.

He never expected that the Taoist priest he specially invited to help catch monsters was actually a monster!
This is outrageous!
The mandrill was still begging for mercy, asking the other party to spare its life.

Hengye was too lazy to waste time with it, so he simply twisted its neck and took out its demon pill.

After doing all this, Hengye went to see the village chief.

The village chief's legs went weak and he fell to the ground in a panic, shaking all over.

"I, I was also deceived by the mandrill..."

He tried to defend himself.

But Hengye didn't want to listen, he opened his mouth and blew out a ball of fire.

The fireball rushed towards the village chief, his clothes were set on fire, the flames grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he was engulfed entirely.

He rolled around on the ground wildly, wailing in pain.

Seeing this scene, Yang Rongrong had no expression on her face. This man wanted to burn her to death, and now he was burned to death instead. This was his retribution.

After getting rid of the two guys with bad intentions, Hengye can finally return to Yang Rongrong.

He looked her up and down several times, and only then heaved a sigh of relief after making sure she was not injured.

Yang Rongrong took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face and said with deep emotion: "You came back just in time."

If he hadn't appeared in time, she would have been a charred corpse by now.

Although she had a system cheat that allowed her to reload the game, she could not avoid the pain of being burned to death. Hengye saved her from the sin of being burned, so she was naturally very grateful.

Hengye explained, "I left a barrier here, and when I sensed a monster approaching the barrier, I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I rushed back immediately."

Yang Rongrong suddenly realized that this was the case.

Hengye raised his right paw, opened and closed it, and a jade box appeared out of thin air at the center of the paw.

"This is the Marrow Cleansing Pill. I give it to you."

Yang Rongrong opened the jade box and saw a jade-white pill lying quietly inside. She couldn't help but show joy: "You actually found it."

Immediately she raised her head, looked at Hengye with sparkling eyes, and praised him sincerely.

"You are amazing!"

Hengye was flattered by the praise and his tail couldn't help but lift up.

He straightened his chest, pretending to be nonchalant, and said casually: "It's okay, it's just a marrow cleansing pill, it's not a big deal."

Yang Rongrong knew how precious the Marrow Cleansing Pill was. It had the effect of cleansing the essence and marrow, and could reshape a person's bones. Even a person of mediocre talent could gain the qualifications necessary for cultivation after taking it.

It is precisely because of this that the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a treasure coveted by many people, and its value is comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon.

Even if Heng Ye is the demon king, it is extremely difficult to obtain the marrow cleansing pill in such a short time.
