Chapter 500: Commander Tan Centipede
Chapter 500: Commander Tan Centipede
The earth dried up and the riverbeds cracked.
A foot stepped on the gravel road, and the poisonous snake that was searching the skull of a person on the roadside was startled by the footsteps. Just as it was about to show its teeth, its head was poked and exploded by a finger in the air.
"The whole mountain is filled with evil spirits."
Tan Wenjie leaned his hands against the wall and looked out.
There were no cute little animals as imagined, only dead silence and poisonous creatures popping out from time to time.
The story of the Calabash Brothers is well-known to everyone and is a true classic. A pangolin dug a hole and released the Scorpion Demon and the Golden Snake Demon who had been suppressed by the monsters for 9999 years. Then an old man who collected herbs and was very tough gave birth to seven Calabash Brothers. The Calabash Brothers had great magical powers and worked together to eliminate the monsters.
"It has been pressed under the mountain for 9999 years. How high was its original cultivation level? Moreover, the Golden Snake Spirit has a younger sister, the Green Snake Spirit. She has not been pressed under the mountain for more than years."
Even if the Green Snake Demon fishes for three days and rests for two days, after ten thousand years, his cultivation is still not low.
You have to think long term.
"Hey, there's someone here!"
A green-skinned toad spirit jumped out from the front, carrying a two-pronged steel fork.
Aren't these frogs for sale?
There is also a bat demon next to it, holding a steel knife.
"Catch him and give him to the king and his wife. Maybe we can get some good wine from him." The toad spirit drooled at the thought of the good wine.
"Why don't we eat it?" The bat demon had different ideas.
"Eat shit, I was credited for catching that old man last time."
Suddenly, there was a flash before the eyes of the bat demon, and he found that the toad spirit next to him flew backwards with a "bang", hit the distant mountain wall and turned into a dried toad.
Looking back, he saw the two forks in the toad demon's hand being grabbed by the man and pressed against his throat.
"Take me to your cave."
"You, you, you, don't be so arrogant!" The bat demon said tremblingly, "My king and his wife are very powerful, and we have monsters all over the mountains. People like you will definitely be eaten up if you go in. I advise you to run away quickly."
Tan Wenjie pressed lightly with the steel fork in his hand: "Speak in detail, it would be best if you could tell me all the defensive arrangements in the monster's cave."
The bat demon's eyes rolled and he was about to speak.
puff!
The steel fork pierced its throat with great force.
"Uh uh..." The bat demon opened his eyes wide and saw that the human in front of him suddenly transformed into a giant centipede monster.
"Help!" the giant centipede monster raised its head and shouted.
The bat demon who was still alive: "?"
Why are you crying thief?
"what happened?"
The bat demon, who was still alive, heard a familiar voice.
It's the Centipede Commander!
It’s over.
The Centipede Commander was a fool who could be trapped in a trap even in his own cave, and the person in front of him had turned into a centipede demon.
With the intelligence of the centipede leader, there is definitely no problem.
"Just now a man rushed over and killed the two brothers." The big centipede said, "I hid underground and luckily escaped."
He is lying, he is lying!
The bat demon struggled: "Uh uh uh..."
Its throat was pierced and it couldn't speak. It could only point at Tan Wenjie, who had turned into a giant centipede monster, with its fingers trembling.
The centipede leader, who was holding a pair of axes, comforted the bat demon, "Don't worry, I will inform the king and his wife about this matter."
The bat demon kicked its legs and died.
He died of severe injuries and also died of sudden death.
"Come on, follow me back to see the king and his wife." The centipede leader led the way, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
"My cultivation is low. I only gained some skills a while ago and can now speak human language."
The centipede leader nodded and said, "Well, work hard. We, the centipede clan, must perform well in front of the king and his wife, and not let the toad spirits, spider spirits, snake spirits, and scorpion spirits outdo us."
Tan Wenjie: “…”
What a fucking introverted talent, his brain is not very good. Can you beat the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit with your efforts? They are from the same family in terms of race and talent, so you might as well find ways to flatter them.
Tan Wenjie knew that he had not mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations, so this time he simply put on the skin of the centipede monster. No matter who saw him, he was a real centipede monster.
With the centipede leader leading the way, the journey is smooth and unobstructed.
There were so many monsters on the Monster Mountain that he was itching to kill them all.
There is no repression in his dictionary, and he doesn't intend to waste any of it.
"Is this your first time here?" The centipede commander pointed to the stone gates nearby. "These gates have the magic power of the king and his wife. No matter how powerful you are, you can't break them. If you want to walk freely here, I am the only one."
"Commander Centipede is deeply trusted by the king and his wife, and I admire him." Tan Wenjie complimented, glancing around at the ambushing bow-wielding bee monsters, the spider spirits setting traps, and the patrolling bat monsters, snake monsters, crickets, toads, etc.
It is indeed difficult to break in by force, so he put his eyes back on the centipede leader. They are all centipede spirits, so it should be no problem to give him some convenience.
They passed through one checkpoint after another and came to a cave palace.
"My lord, this is bad~" the centipede leader shouted, "Someone is coming up the mountain to kill us."
The taste is so authentic, no wonder you are the Centipede Commander. If you were in Lion Camel Ridge, you would at least be a Little Diamond Wind.
Tan Wenjie took notes carefully, as these were all experiences for his future development. Only by continuous learning could he make continuous progress.
"What?!" First there was a hoarse roar, then a loud rumbling noise, and the sound of plates, wine glasses, etc. hitting the ground.
"Fortunately, my brother was smart and hid when he met that man. Otherwise, he would have been killed just like the stupid toad monster and the bat monster." said the Centipede Commander.
"Bring people in."
"Yes."
The Centipede Commander came out and waved to Tan Wenjie, signaling him to follow quickly.
After entering the palace in the cave, Tan Wenjie's eyes uncontrollably fell on the chest of the golden snake demon... and on the Ruyi that was held in its hand.
The aim was turned on automatically, but the one he was aiming at was Ruyi.
Madam Golden Snake, who has practiced for at least ten thousand years, has a pretty face with a human body and a snake tail. She has a surging evil aura that has not been eliminated even after being suppressed for nine thousand years. Now that she has escaped, she has committed many murders again, and her blood debt is overwhelming.
If an ordinary cultivator could kill her, his merit would be enough to allow him to ascend to immortality.
Look at the Scorpion King next to him, he is even worse than Lady Golden Snake.
If you can't beat the opponent by yourself, especially when the opponent has magic weapons in his hands, you still have to wait for a few little kids to come to the dungeon, and then you can follow them to loot some meat to eat.
There was wine and meat scattered all over the ground, not to mention chicken, duck, fish and meat, there was also a certain group of people.
You evildoers have deserved to die.
Madam Jinshe narrowed her eyes and smiled, moving closer to Tan Wenjie, her voice as sweet as honey: "Centipede demon, have you seen that person?"
"My dear madam." Tan Wenjie perfectly put himself in the role, "The man kicked the toad demon to death, and then stabbed the bat demon to death with a fork, but he fled when he heard that the centipede leader was coming."
"Tsk, I thought he was some big shot." The Scorpion King grabbed the wine glass on the table and took a gulp. "If he's afraid of even the Centipede Commander, he can't possibly be any Mad Wolf."
The Centipede Leader, who was being humiliated, smiled apologetically and kept saying that the king was wise.
"Your Majesty is right~" Lady Golden Snake nodded, her eyes rolling, "But we just got out of trouble, so we have to be careful, lest that Calabash Brothers come to bully us."
As they were talking, there was a commotion outside.
The Scorpion King and Lady Golden Snake almost subconsciously turned around and looked at the magic mirror beside them. Tan Wenjie and the Centipede Commander also looked over there.
I saw a child in red clothes with a small gourd on his head hitting the door. He had such great strength that he broke the door open with one punch. A huge rock weighing thousands of pounds fell down with the power of Lady Golden Snake, but was held up by his hands.
"Oh no! Calabash Brothers is really coming to kill us!" Mrs. Golden Snake's face changed drastically.
The Scorpion King did the same, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
They have been suppressed for nearly ten thousand years, and have long been traumatized by Hulu Mountain.
Now, seeing Calabash Brothers coming to kill him, he feels fear almost instinctively.
"Quick, Centipede Commander, follow me and catch that gourd kid!"
Centipede Commander: "Yes!"
Tan Wenjie lowered his head and left obediently, looking exactly like a little demon, a standard background board.
What he was thinking about was how to get the magic mirror. This treasure is comparable to Erwa's clairvoyance, equivalent to a super long-distance monitor, and it is on standby 24 hours a day.
Besides, with the magic mirror around, it wouldn't be so convenient for him to do some small actions.
The centipede leader is not very capable and his brain isn't very useful either, but he is really aggressive when something happens.
As soon as Tan Wenjie followed the Centipede Leader to the battlefield, he saw him rushing towards the powerful Calabash Brothers with a pair of axes.
With a punch and a kick, the Centipede Leader screamed "Ouch" and the axe flew out of his hand.
The eldest boy grabbed the axe and broke it hard, turning the axe into scrap metal.
Centipede Commander: "Watch me change!"
His body swayed and grew larger, but only by four or five feet. In contrast, Big Boy instantly became as tall as a mountain and kicked the centipede leader away.
"Ouch~" The Centipede Commander rolled over to Tan Wenjie's feet.
"Commander, are you okay?" Tan Wenjie reached out and pinched the Centipede Commander's head.
While the Scorpion King and Lady Golden Snake were attracted by the big baby, he exerted force suddenly.
Centipede Commander: "You——!"
"Commander, I want to improve so much."
With all your strength, there was a "click" sound.
The centipede leader was still alive even after his death, and his body was struggling violently.
Tan Wenjie said in a sorrowful voice: "Commander! No! Commander!!"
When many little demons in the distance saw that Calabash Brothers had kicked the Centipede Leader to death with one kick, they were so frightened that they dared not move forward, and the two snake and scorpion demons became even more vigilant.
Only the eldest boy scratched his head in confusion. He didn’t use his full strength just now, so... I am really awesome.
It's always a good thing when the monster that harms people dies.
The eldest boy put his hands on his hips and said, "Humph, monster, why don't you surrender!"
Over there, Big Boy and the snake demon were fighting, and Tan Wenjie couldn't intervene because one was extremely strong, and the other had unfathomable magical powers.
Until Da Wa was deceived by a fake old man transformed by a snake spirit and fell into a quagmire.
Dawa was captured.
"Commander Centipede!" Madam Golden Snake turned her head.
Silence, no response.
Tan Wenjie immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, the centipede commander was killed by the gourd boy."
"Really?" Madam Golden Snake looked at Tan Wenjie, then at those dull little monsters, "Then you will be the new centipede leader." It made no difference to her. She couldn't tell who was stronger or weaker, or who was smarter and more suitable to be used by these little monsters who had been practicing for thousands of years.
"Thank you, Madam, for giving me the opportunity to learn by your side."
Mrs. Golden Snake smiled so well that her eyes curved.
No matter whether it was a human, a god, a ghost or a monster, they all loved being a teacher. She was delighted to be respected in this way.
Other monsters on the side: "?"
That's not right. We are all uneducated monsters. Why are you so quick to react and so eloquent?
Tan Wenjie is not in a hurry about Calabash Brothers being arrested.
If the monster wants to eat the Seven Star Pill, he must gather all seven Calabash Brothers. Now the progress bar has only reached one-seventh, and the only ones who can communicate with him normally are probably the old man and the second brother.
Let’s wait until Erwa is caught.
He was holding the only axe left by the previous centipede leader, and patrolling the cave while the Scorpion Demon and the Snake Demon were celebrating the capture of the Calabash Brothers.
The monster cave is well guarded, and different races are divided into groups to keep each other warm.
Forming small groups, excluding each other, and hanging out with this bunch of insects, how can we ever make progress?
Moreover, as the centipede leader, he wanted to go to the dungeon for inspection but was rejected by the cricket monster.
Tan Wenjie could only turn around, snorted coldly, and look for another way.
The easiest way, of course, is to flatter.
After walking around for a while, Tan Wenjie saw a lone toad spirit.
The unlucky guy has been found, and we're going to operate on him.
"What are you looking at?" Tan Wenjie pointed at the Toad Spirit, "How dare you say that my wife's slim waist is not pretty?"
The Toad Spirit waved his hands: "I, I don't have it, I don't have it!"
"Then do you think it looks good?"
"nice!"
"Well, you actually dared to peek at my wife's waist. You are so audacious, a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Ah? That, that... doesn't look good."
"My lady is more beautiful than fairies in my heart. You are a blind toad spirit. There is no need to keep your eyes! I will chop you off!" He said he would chop off the toad spirit, but in fact he deliberately let the other party run away.
The toad spirit did not disappoint him: "My lord, help me! My madam, help me!"
One fleeing and the other chasing came to the palace of the two monsters, disturbing all the monsters in the cave.
Because the toad spirit kept shouting for the king and his wife to save him, he had a smooth journey.
"What's going on outside?" asked the Scorpion King who was watching the beauty dancing with the sword.
Mrs. Golden Snake also stopped.
"My king, my lady, help me!" The toad spirit knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "I don't know why the new centipede leader asked me if my lady's waist was pretty. I said it was pretty, and he said I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat and wanted to chop me off. I said it was not pretty, and he said I was blind and wanted to chop me off. Please, my king and my lady, help me."
Scorpion King: “?”
I was a little confused and didn't understand.
Lady Golden Snake on the side smiled. Her beauty almost made the little demons below start a fight. It was probably because of her high charm.
"Where's Commander Centipede?"
"The little demon is here." Tan Wenjie walked into the cave with his head held high, glanced at the toad spirit on the ground and snorted coldly.
It's a pity that this centipede face can't make any extra expressions, which affects his performance.
Before coming here, I was thinking that the Toad Demon's brain could work faster, so I would give him some room to argue, and then use the strategy of torturing himself, the strategy of sowing discord, the strategy of cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron, the strategy of taking advantage of the chaos in the demon's lair, and finally the strategy of getting the magic weapon by chance, step by step.
Unexpectedly, the Toad Spirit was so stupid that he just repeated his original words without adding any exaggeration.
How could I lose this?
The toad spirit is assisting.
Male demons love beauties, and female demons love to become more beautiful.
Praising Lady Golden Snake is equivalent to praising two monsters at the same time.
"Commander Centipede, is what the Toad Demon said true?" Madam Golden Snake looked at Tan Wenjie with a very gentle gaze.
"Madam, it's true." Tan Wenjie nodded.
"Madam, I didn't think of judging you at first." The Toad Spirit suddenly realized, "I can swear to God."
How could I fall into the trap of self-proof and be fooled by this centipede monster?
Tan Wenjie had a blank expression on his face and neither argued nor explained.
The difference in the working styles of monsters and gods is that gods have to abide by the rules but monsters are more free to do whatever they want.
Right or wrong is not important, what is important is whether you can make the monster happy.
"You are all monsters in the mountains. I believe you." Mrs. Golden Snake said, "This matter ends here."
In Lady Golden Snake's opinion, since the Centipede Commander had just taken office, he must be full of awe and respect for her. Maybe he heard it wrong, so he got angry and wanted to kill the Toad Spirit.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the Centipede Commander would take action for no apparent reason.
It can be seen from the praise just now that this little centipede spirit has been fascinated by her and she is very proud of it.
As for the Toad Spirit, it doesn’t matter whether it said it or not. When it admitted that its slender waist was not pretty, its fate was already doomed.
"Okay, step back."
"Yes!" X2
Tan Wenjie left with the Toad Spirit, and the Toad Spirit raised its head at him proudly.
However, Tan Wenjie never saw the toad again the next day.
On that day, the second baby among the gourd brothers sneaked in and caused quite a mess in the monster cave. He was then blinded, deafened and captured by Madam Golden Snake.
"The second Calabash Brother has also been collected."
Madam Golden Snake held a Ruyi in her hand, and behind her, Tan Wenjie held an axe and stood loyally like a guard.
When the middle-level leaders including Cricket Commander, Toad Commander, Spider Commander, and Viper Commander saw this, they immediately became active in their thinking.
Yesterday, the new centipede leader wanted to kill a patrolling toad spirit, and today he stood next to Madam Golden Snake like a favored treacherous minister.
As for the toad that was nearly chopped to death for no apparent reason, it seemed to have been sent outside to guard the gate.
The difference is a bit big.
"Are there any casualties?" the Scorpion King asked casually.
The little demon flew over and said, "Reporting to the king, a toad spirit died. It was transferred from the cave today."
"Yeah." The Scorpion Demon nodded, not caring at all.
If one little demon dies, you can catch one Calabash Brother, it's such a great deal.
All the monsters in the cave died, and they were willing to do so in exchange for capturing the seven gourd brothers.
The commanders looked at Tan Wenjie with a hint of fear in their eyes.
This Centipede Commander is different from the previous stupid commander, and he must not be provoked.
Inside the cave, when everyone was celebrating for capturing the two gourd brothers, the snake and scorpion monsters, Tan Wenjie had already arrived in front of the dungeon.
The one guarding the gate is still the cricket monster from last time.
Tan Wenjie: "I'm here to see how Calabash Brothers and the old man are doing. Open the door."
This time the cricket demon did not dare to refuse and opened the door obediently, fearing that he would be bullied.
When he entered the door, Tan Wenjie saw the Calabash Brothers wearing orange clothes and an old man with a white beard.
"monster!"
"Hey, don't make the mistake of identifying me. I'm not a monster."
Tan Wenjie's body transformed back into a human.
"God, immortal?" The white-bearded old man was surprised.
"The monsters here are unusually powerful." Tan Wenjie said, "How can you, the Calabash Brothers, defeat the monsters if you come one by one? Escape and wait for all the remaining Calabash Brothers to gather together before conquering the monsters."
"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal." The white-bearded old man hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"What about you?" Erwa asked, "Aren't you going with us?"
After careful perception, he discovered that there was indeed a fairy spirit in Tan Wenjie.
"This monster has several magic weapons in his hand that are destined for me." Tan Wenjie said, "I want to take back the magic weapons first."
Erwa nodded, and then he asked, "How should we get out?"
"Escape."
It doesn’t matter whether there is a pangolin or not. Tan Wenjie split himself into two, holding Erwa in one hand and the white-bearded old man with the other, and his figure suddenly sank and disappeared.
Just as they disappeared, Tan Wenjie rushed out and stepped on the cricket monster's head.
"You idiot, you let Calabash Brothers escape!"
He raised his axe and chopped off the cricket monster's head and body before it could even protest.
Holding the blood-stained axe, Tan Wenjie adjusted his mood, then ran while shouting: "My Lord, Madam, it's not good, it's not good~"
The monsters who heard the shouting along the way saw Tan Wenjie holding the bloody axe and did not dare to stop him. They opened the checkpoints and let him pass.
Fear of being implicated.
Inside the palace, the two snake and scorpion monsters were so startled when they heard the loud shouts that they almost fell off their stools.
Tan Wenjie rushed in: "My Lord, Madam, something bad has happened!"
"Commander Centipede, why are you so flustered?" asked Madam Golden Snake.
"Madam, the Calabash Brothers and the old man in the dungeon have escaped."
"What!" X2
"When I went to investigate the dungeon just now, I found that there was not a single hair left in the dungeon. It was all because of the cricket demon who neglected his duty. I have chopped it off."
"Well done!" The Scorpion King snorted coldly, "They are all good-for-nothings. Madam, look at the magic mirror."
Tan Wenjie also came over and looked at the magic mirror.
In the mirror, Tan Wenjie's clone was dragging Calabash Brothers and the white-bearded old man away underground.
"He is that person!" Tan Wenjie said, pointing at the magic mirror.
"This person is surrounded by immortal energy, he might be a god." Madam Golden Snake frowned and immediately ordered, "Commander Centipede, go immediately... Forget it, I will go and see the powerful Calabash Brother myself."
The Scorpion King also stood up: "I'll go and take a look too. We can't let him get away."
The two monsters left in a hurry. Tan Wenjie lagged behind by a step. He turned his head left and right to make sure that there were no other monsters here, then took the magic mirror away.
By destroying the enemy's field of vision, your side has a greater chance of winning and is almost certain to win.
The next step is to attack Madam Golden Snake. If that doesn’t work, he will fight together with Calabash Brothers. His goal is very clear - magic weapon!
