Chapter 97 The Mountain God's Conspiracy

"Um... Young man, can I leave now?" the Toad Spirit asked cautiously.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he could leave.

The Toad Spirit then breathed a sigh of relief and crawled away dozens of meters, but he had made up his mind.

As soon as he returned to the cave, he would report to his wife and the king that a stranger was plotting against them. Then he would use the power of the king and his wife to kill the human boy, thus venting his anger.

Just when the toad spirit was thinking beautifully, a long sword hit his back at high speed, and the tip of the sword popped out directly from his chest.

The Toad Spirit looked down at the tip of the sword on his chest, blood couldn't help but flow out of the corner of his mouth. He turned back to look at Xiao Zhen who stretched out his left hand, and asked painfully: "Why... why, didn't you say I could leave?"

Xiao Zhen slowly approached step by step, and said mockingly: "Do you really think I'm a fool? How can I not see the malice on your face? Since you have no good intentions, I can only break my promise!"

After struggling for a while, the toad spirit finally breathed its last breath reluctantly.

Xiao Zhen walked directly to the front, pulled out the Changhong Sword, and wiped the blood off the Toad Spirit while suppressing his nausea. He looked at this body curiously. It was obviously very weak, with only the cultivation level of a fighter. It was probably the Qi Refining Stage of the so-called Immortal Cultivation School, but it could stand upright on its feet and walk like a human. It was really magical.

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhen stood on the top of a distant mountain, holding a telescope in his hand, observing the cave where the snake and scorpion monsters were.

"I don't know how powerful those two monsters are. With my strength, can I handle it on my own without seeking help from the mechanical beast world?" Xiao Zhen muttered softly while chewing dried snake meat.

Suddenly, a large number of wasp monsters seemed to have received some instructions, rushed out of the cave and killed in one direction.

Xiao Zhen's eyes were solemn. These wasp monsters looked murderous, and they were probably not going to do anything good. He also had a vague guess that these guys were probably targeting the Calabash Brothers who had not yet been born.

Trying his best to hide his figure and breath, Xiao Zhen followed quietly.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhen followed the group of wasp monsters and immediately saw a small hut. The most distinctive thing was that there was a vibrant vine in front of the hut, with seven gourds of different colors growing on the vine. These gourds seemed to have their own wisdom. They could not only speak, but also sway automatically.

A group of wasp monsters buzzed and communicated for a while, then immediately aimed their butts at the gourds and launched a rain of arrows. Their function was the same as Zhuge Crossbow's, and they could actually fire continuously.

However, these arrows shot at the gourd, just like stabbing into steel plates. They could not break the gourd's defense at all and could only fall to the ground helplessly.

"Tsk tsk! These wasp monsters' butts would make even the God King Tang, who loves to play with hidden weapons, jealous!" Xiao Zhen joked.

Xiao Zhen took out a handful of melon seeds and began to enjoy the show of the gourd fighting the monster.

Afterwards, the gourds also began to fight back. The green gourd spewed out a burst of flames, burning the wasp monsters, making them scream and howl. Only one that looked a little smart ran away first, and the others were almost all burned to death.

After defeating the monster, the seven gourds began to laugh happily and praised the fourth one for his sharp flame.

"Pah!" Xiao Zhen just spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said contemptuously, "These monsters are really lame. They can't even beat the Calabash Brothers who haven't been born yet. No wonder they can only be my subordinates."

Not long after, a gray-haired man in his seventies returned to the hut, followed by a pangolin.

The old man saw the mess on the ground and asked in surprise: "Kids, what happened!"

The gourds reported one after another that there was a monster, which scared the old man. He didn't expect to be found by the monster so soon.

The orange gourd advised: "Grandpa, the monsters may come again at night, you must be very nice, then we brothers will have our own way to deal with them!"

The old man didn't know what to do and could only nod his head continuously.

However, the pangolin nearby seemed to have discovered something and looked towards the pile of rocks in the north.

Xiao Zhen suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead. He immediately lay down behind a rock and urgently used the snake breath method taught by Die.

The pangolin then scratched his head and thought to himself: There is no one here! Did I see it wrong?

The pangolin, who didn't believe in evil, quietly released a trace of divine consciousness and carefully scanned the area. After finding that there was no one, he regained his composure.

Realizing that the sight had been averted, Xiao Zhen, who was hiding behind a rock, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, and by a pangolin, this seemingly ordinary little demon.

No, there is something wrong with this pangolin too. Just looking at the fact that it was able to dig open the mountain sealed by the gods and was very familiar with the inside, it is definitely not an ordinary creature.

Xiao Zhen carefully stuck out half of his head and conducted a systematic investigation on the pangolin.

Character: Pangolin

Identity: Mountain God

Age: years old

Cultivation: Golden Core Peak (Dou Wang Peak)

Evaluation: A mountain god officially appointed by the Heavenly Court, who commands the surrounding mountains and rivers. Within the territory, he can gain merit and faith bonuses, and possesses the strength of an early Nascent Soul (low-level Douhuang).

After seeing everything, Xiao Zhen silently withdrew his gaze. It turned out that he was the mountain god who often helped Calabash Brothers in the animation.

This doesn't make sense! If this guy is a mountain god, then why did he drill through Hulu Mountain and release the two monsters?

For some reason, Xiao Zhen seemed to smell some conspiracy.

"It seems that this Lord Mountain God also has his own little plans. I wonder if I have a chance to make a fortune!" Xiao Zhenyin said with a tentative smile.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, and a little boy with a slingshot.

The mantis and cicada refer to the Calabash Brothers and the monsters. As for Xiao Zhen? Of course, he is the child with the slingshot, waiting for the mountain god, the sparrow, to reveal his true face.

Soon, night fell, a large dark cloud covered the moon, and the earth was pitch dark.

A large group of monsters have quietly approached the small hut.

The first to take the lead was a big wild boar with sharp fangs.

The wild boar made a sudden dash and crashed directly into the roots of the gourd vine, as if it wanted to dig out the roots of the gourd vine like digging sweet potatoes.

However, after being hit several times in succession, the vines still grew firmly on the ground. Instead, the big wild boar, due to the violent impact, finally bleeds a lot of pig blood.

The third brother, Huang Hulu, charged directly and knocked the big wild boar down the mountain like a rolling ball.

The next thing to appear was a colorful poisonous snake. The snake opened its mouth wide and bit the gourd.

Unfortunately, the gourd was too hard, almost as hard as steel, and it broke his teeth.

Afterwards, several gourds took turns hitting the poisonous snake, making it dizzy and dazed.

This made the old man and the pangolin in the hut laugh, and at the same time they were full of confidence in the gourds.

Hearing the laughter from the gourds, the poisonous snake became furious, opened its big mouth and spewed out a large amount of flames.

Lao Wu's blue gourd also played a proper role. Countless streams of water spurted out, and in a moment the flames spewed out by the demon snake were extinguished.

After a burst of anger, the poisonous snake accumulated a large amount of demonic power and spewed out stronger flames again.

The old man in the house thought something was wrong and rushed out by pushing open the door. The sharp hatchet in his hand accurately hit the snake's neck, causing it to scream in pain.

The spider spirit, who had been prepared, immediately cast a large net to wrap up the old man, and soon dragged the two bat spirits into the sky.

When the gourd brothers saw their grandfather being taken away, they could only scream helplessly and were completely helpless.
