Chapter 161 Linjiang City, Locust Demon

"Ho~~"

The crocodile-tooth beast roared, and the torrential waves rolled towards the purple jade flying boat.

Even though it was a third-level spiritual beast, Lu Chen was not afraid. He stood up, raised his foot and lightly stepped on the bow of the boat, activating the second-level wind-chasing and moon-chasing formation, and the purple jade flying boat floated into the air.

"You can actually fly!"

"Wow~~"

There was a noise on the big ship, and everyone pointed at the purple jade flying boat.

However, the crocodile tooth seemed to regard Lu Chen as its prey and did not intend to give up. It dived into the water, took a gulp of river water, and opened its mouth ferociously:

"Ho~~"

With a roar, a water column several meters thick shot out at an extremely fast speed. It was about to hit the purple jade flying boat, but the flying boat rushed into a dark passage first and disappeared out of thin air.

"brush!"

It appeared again, already a hundred meters behind the big ship.

The purple jade flying boat stopped in the air. Lu Chen looked back and saw a middle-aged Taoist in purple clothes coming out of the cabin on the top floor of the big ship. He stood under a flag and flag, clasped his fists at Lu Shen and said:

"Spiritual beasts are fierce and stubborn, please don't blame me, little friends!"

There are two words written on the flag:

Canglan!

It is making a sound with the river wind.

【name】:****

[Information]: Three Realms Tongxuan Zhenren

"It doesn't matter!"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to apologize, Lu Chen waved his hand and gave up the intention of pursuing the case. One person and one beast are still two people in the three realms. Even if they are not afraid, there is no need to take the initiative to make enemies over trivial matters. As soon as his thoughts changed, Lu Chen also spoke out. :

"The ancient Qingtong tree three hundred miles ahead is my friend's territory. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to restrain it a little when the time comes."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Seeing the other party nodding, Lu Chen didn't waste any more time and controlled the purple jade flying boat to continue south, disappearing on the Akutagawa River in the blink of an eye.

On the big ship, a young man with tied hair came over and sighed: "A mere magic master deserves a personal apology from the master. Is it possible that our Canglan Sect has declined to such an extent?"

"This person is not weak!"

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head, said nothing, and turned back to the cabin, leaving the young man staring at the two-character flag "Canglan" in a daze.

The two boats crossed each other, one heading north and the other heading south. Lu Chen continued to sit cross-legged on the bow of the boat. When he stretched out his hands, two green snakes came out of his sleeves and swam into the river with a hissing sound. Meng Yao used his two ears to report the spirit. Put it on your little ears, tilt your little head and listen to the chirping of the two little things.

Soon after, the purple jade flying boat traveled another two hundred miles.

"Brother, there is a big city ahead."

"Click~"

Lu Chen opened his eyes and absorbed the last ray of spiritual energy into his spiritual orifice. The spiritual stone in his hand was broken into jade powder. He looked towards the right bank of the Akutagawa River and saw the outline of a large city looming in the vast water vapor.

"Linjiang City?"

He once heard the story from the Peacock Queen in the Peacock Palace.

There is only one Linjiang City left in Shuozhou in the south that is relatively stable. It is located on the bank of Akutagawa River. It is said that a real person named Tongxuan lives here. Beyond this city, further south is the territory of the Qishan Locust Mother. The locust monster is raging. Just torn apart.

Meng Yao flew down and landed on Lu Chen's shoulder, holding a strand of his hair with her little hand and asked:

"Brother, do you want to go to the city?"

"Enter the city!"

Lu Chen nodded. Linjiang City was the only place to pass on the way south. If Fang Yuqi and the others passed by here, they would most likely have entered Linjiang City, so it was necessary for him to go in and investigate.

besides.

He also wants to help Meng Yao collect prayer coins to speed up his training progress.

"Okay, okay~"

Amid Meng Yao's cheers, the purple jade flying boat turned and flew towards Linjiang City. Soon, it arrived at a ferry outside Linjiang City. People were seen coming and going on the ferry, and large and small boats docked. It seemed quite lively, and even more There is a trestle that extends hundreds of meters to the Akutagawa River, and many people cast nets in the river.

Catch fish and shrimp.

Salvage spiritual sand.

From time to time, you can see the figures of monks passing through it, above and below the water, cultivating the same as ordinary people.

“I haven’t seen such a lively place in a long time.”

Lu Chen sighed slightly, put away the purple jade flying boat, rode Huniu, and took Meng Yao with him, and landed on the trestle. Immediately, two excited young men approached him, one of them smiled and said:

"Is the immortal master looking for someone to lead the way? The villain only needs three grains of spiritual sand."

Another one quickly said:

"I, Daniel, only need two grains of spiritual sand."

Lu Chen laughed dumbly, ignored the two of them, and rode Huniu towards the ferry in the distance. The two young men were disappointed. One of them sat down on the trestle and complained:

"It's hard to wait for one, but it's messed up. It's all your fault. You have to be smart and shout about it. Everyone wants to take advantage of it. You don't even think about it. He is an immortal master. How can it be the same?"

"What do you know!"

Lu Chen ignored the two quarreling young men and rode Huniu up to the ferry. He saw a huge flow of people, and for a while, the sounds of shouting, cursing, and bargaining came to his face, and there was even a fishy smell. , fragrance, sweat smell, all kinds of smells are mixed together.

Huniu's limbs kept moving, and the pedestrians in front of her quickly dodged.

Or shocked.

Or fear.

Meng Yao stretched out his little head and looked around, then suddenly pulled Lu Chen's long hair:

"Brother~~"

"What's wrong?"

Meng Yao pointed to a stall not far away with her little finger, licked her mouth, and said happily:

"Brother, it's dried fish~"

"Taste it?"

"Okay, okay~~"

Meng Yao clapped his little hands and cheered, couldn't wait to fly up, landed on the small bench in front of the stall, showed his figure, picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and said crisply:

"Grandpa, what are you selling here?"

“Fish and shrimp noodles, no kidding!”

The old man who was busy subconsciously responded. He turned around and was startled by Meng Yao's red wedding dress. However, he was well-informed after all. Seeing Lu Chen follow him and take a seat, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with an apologetic smile:

"How many bowls does the guest want?"

"Three bowls, please."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, placed a grain of spiritual sand on the small table, and warned:

"Put more dried fish."

Meng Yao was very happy when he heard this. His little feet were dangling, and the bamboo chopsticks made a clanging sound. The two ears on his shoulders took the opportunity to make noises, and screamed at the top of their lungs:

"Four bowls, add spicy and spicy!"

"Okay, sir, please take a seat. I'll be there soon!"

The old man responded, took away the spiritual sand with a smile, and began to work again, giving off the atmosphere of city life.

Four bowls of fish and shrimp noodles were served. Lu Chen fed the coquettish Meng Yao to eat the noodles. The two messengers looked at each other, snickered, jumped into the noodle soup, ate voraciously, and stuck out their tongues while eating:

“So numb~~”

“So spicy~~”

Hu Niu stuck out her big head, sniffed, picked and ate all the fish and shrimps, leaving a bowl full of plain noodles. When the two-eared messenger saw this, she immediately shouted:

"waste!"

"waste!"

As a result, Hu Niu glared at her, and she was so frightened that she lay down at the bottom of the bowl that had been licked clean, holding her head and pretending to be dead.

"Suck~~"

Lu Chen was eating noodles when two ear-telling spirits flapped their wings and flew out of the noodle bowl, exclaiming:

"Big Master, Big Master, something is wrong, something serious is going to happen~~"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen looked confused and stopped.

The ear reporting spirit quickly reported:

"A monster is coming!"

"monster?"

Lu Chen frowned and asked:

"where?"

"There!"

The two ear notification spirits stretched out towards the south, and Lu Chen asked again:

"how far?"

"Thirty miles!"

Lu Chen was thoughtful, lowered his head and continued to eat the noodles. The two ear-repairing spirits looked at each other in confusion, and then asked Meng Yao, "Little master, let's... let's run?"

"coward!"

Meng Yao snorted, ignored the two of them, and started to rush towards Lu Chen to continue acting coquettishly.

"The locust demon is coming~~"

"Run!"

"Run!"

Lu Chen had just finished eating fish and shrimp noodles when a scream suddenly came from the trestle in the distance. Figures hurriedly rushed to the ferry. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and looked to the south. He saw two broken wooden boats on the Akutagawa River. Going upstream, the mast, bow, and cabin were crowded with figures.

Feet.

Two wings.

Four claws.

Each one has a ferocious mouth, and each one is as tall as a person. Some are upright like humans, some are lying on the edge of the boat, and some are actually wearing tattered armor.

Or black.

Or white.

or green.

Colorful and complete in variety, the two wooden boats more than ten meters long can accommodate hundreds of them.

[Name]: Demon

[Information]: First-order locust demon

"Is this the locust demon?"

He had heard of the name Qishan Locust Mother ten years ago. Now, Lu Chen had seen a real locust demon for the first time. His first impression was "ugly", and his second impression was "evil".

The locust monster attacked, and there was a commotion at the ferry.

Many people fled towards Linjiang City, but more people quickly calmed down and watched silently. Lu Chen turned to look at the old man selling fish and shrimp noodles, but saw that the other man only looked at him for a few times before continuing. He was busy, so he said in surprise:

"Old man, this locust demon has come to kill you, why are you still busy?"

The old man didn't care and said with a saucy smile:

"It's not my first time here. I've long been used to it. Our Linjiang City is protected by Master Baishui. It's safe. The little locust monster can't make big waves. Don't be afraid."

"Master Baishui?"

Lu Mo nodded silently. He didn't know much about Master Baishui, nor did Peacock Empress. He only knew that this man had guarded Linjiang City for more than twenty years and had always lived in seclusion. All matters were handled by three disciples. .

The eldest disciple Duanmu Ci.

The second disciple was Duanmu Heng.

The third disciple Duan Muying.

The three of them are now all masters of the Zongfa Immortal Masters, and they are said to be extremely talented. There are rumors that the three of them are biological brothers, and some say that they are just three orphans adopted by Master Baishui. Because his surname was Duanmu, his disciples took Duanmu as their surname. .

How true.

Few people know.

Before the people on the trestle could run back to the ferry, hundreds of locust demons had already fluttered from the wooden boats and roared towards the people. Fortunately, there were many monks in the crowd, and they gathered together to sever their rear.

Or control the magic weapon.

Or cast a spell.

Or swaying talismans.

Fight and retreat at the same time, and you can barely resist it for a while.

"Ah~~"

"Ah~~"

At this moment, several screams suddenly sounded. Lu Chen's expression condensed and he saw two figures in black flying out of the demon group and rushing into the monks, tearing several people apart one after another.

[Name]: Demon

[Information]: Level 2 Locust Demon

"It turns out to be the second level."

"So ugly!"

Although this second-level locust demon is in human form, its face is covered with thick black horny skin and wrinkles. It looks extremely disgusting, especially its mouth, which is very similar to the mouthparts of a locust and is extremely vicious.

"Click~~"

The two locust demons carried the bloody corpse, broke open the head, and devoured it on the spot, leaving red and white stains all over their heads and faces.

"It's the second level!"

"Second-level locust demon!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

More than a dozen monks were frightened and could no longer care about the people. They used various means to flee for their lives in panic. However, the second-level locust demon began to chase them one after another, causing heavy casualties. Seeing that the locust demon was about to rush into the ferry, the people at the ferry finally They became frightened and rushed to Linjiang City.

Even the old man selling fish and shrimp noodles shivered and started to close the stall.

"Still not here?"

Lu Chen looked at Linjiang City, but he still didn't see the monks who came to support him. He sighed softly, stretched out his hand and flipped it, and two sword stars flew out quietly.

"Pfft~~"

The leading second-level locust demon was about to pounce on a woman who fell to the ground, when a string of green mucus suddenly appeared from its head, and it fell to the ground in an instant, twitching and dying.

"Jiji~~"

The remaining second-level creature became alert, narrowly avoided a sword star, and fled into the group of monsters in panic, letting out a piercing scream as if calling for help.

Lu Chen looked up at the sky and saw a black cloud pressing down from high in the sky.

[Name]: Migratory Locust

[Information]: Not entering the level

[Name]: Spirit Beast

[Information]: Second-order four-winged migratory locust

This was not a black cloud, but a swarm of migratory locusts. Each one was the size of an eight or nine-year-old child. They were so dark that there were no less than a thousand of them. The leader was actually a second-order spiritual beast, a four-winged migratory locust.

"Locust."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he remembered the giant frogs he had killed on Toad Island, and he said fondly:

"Locusts are also equal to souls?"

"Swish, brush, brush~~~"

"bass!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and waved, and twenty more sword stars quietly appeared. Ten of them soared into the sky, killing the migratory locust swarm, and the other ten killed the locust demon. For a moment, locust corpses fell like rain, screaming. Loud.

The people at the ferry stopped one after another and were stunned on the spot.

"well!"

"Could it be that the real person did it himself?"

"The little old man kowtows to the real person!"

"Thank you, Master~~"

When the people came to their senses, they became excited one by one. Many people knelt down and worshiped Linjiang City. Lu Chen shook his head and concentrated on controlling the twenty-two sword stars to surround and kill the second-order four-winged locust and the remaining second-order locust demon. .

Swords come and go.

Flying and stabbing.

When the gates of Linjiang City were opened, groups of people rushed out. The two second-level people just died, and the other migratory locusts and first-level locust monsters also fled to death.

"bass!"

Lu Chen quietly put away the sword star, looked at Meng Yao who was full of admiration, and grinned. All living beings are busy, why does he need other people's approval? Yaoyao is enough.

"叏lvlv~~~"

"Hiccup~~"

The fierce horse raised its hooves, and the leader was a man in messy clothes. He was holding an eyebrow-level stick, showing his thick chest hair. He looked around and was about to ask questions when he opened his mouth and let out a wine burp. He quickly covered his mouth and waited for the drink to be poured out. After suppressing the smell of alcohol, he shouted loudly and said with murderous intent:

"Where is the locust demon?"

"."

Everyone looked at each other, and the old man selling fish and shrimp noodles also shook his head and sighed:

"This second city lord is really... really ungrateful!"
