    The wolf's double red eyes lose their luster, and his body crashes to the ground.

    Sword in the cranium, heart shattered, even the gods cannot save him!

    JiangliuEr watched helplessly as the vitality of the Wolf Wujici completely extinguished.

    He flicks his wrist and recalls the heaven-ground sword.

    Enduring the pain in his left arm, he chopped off the Wolf Wujici's head.

    The huge wolf's head was drenched in blood, covered with fierce and ugly wounds.

    "The senior master Faming will no longer be threatened by the monsters in Wolf Gully, and this wolf demon's head can also be exchanged for a lot of money at the official office."

    The relief and joy in Jiangliu'er's heart alleviated the pain in his arm.

    It seems that with the death of the wolf demon, the lingering evil energy that has been surrounding the barren mountain for years has also dispersed.

    The wind swept across, stirring the messy hair of the youth. Jiangliu'er's smile was full of delight. Turning around, he shouted to the back: "Wolf Wujici is dead! Hurry up and come with me to search for the monster's lair!"

    Huyu Yu hurried over, immediately pulling out a handkerchief, and said with concern, "Mister, you're hurt. Let me bandage you up first, then I'll look for some herbs to make a healing potion for you."

    After saying that, she kicked the wolf's head hard again, expressing indignation and anger, "That darned wolf demon is indeed evil. It actually hurt Mister."

    "Never mind," Jiangliu'er said, "It's just a broken bone. I'll be fine after a short rest."

    He smiled, "My body tempering technique wasn't practiced for nothing."

    Shouqing poked the headless body of Wolf Wujici, amazed, "The 300-year-old wolf demon died at the hands of my friend. It is probably that my friend has already reached a level in refining essence into qi that no one else can match."

    "There are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains, perhaps there are those who are even more powerful than me!" Jiangliu'er said that way, but his heart felt very comfortable.

    Which young man doesn't like to hear compliments about their own strengths?

    Jiangliu'er was not immune to this either.

    [Jiangliu'er]: "Elders, today's battle against the wolf demon has come to a successful end. This is the head of Wolf Wujici. [Image], the wolf demon indeed has considerable cultivation. It took some effort to kill him."

    [Jiangliu'er]: "I was also injured in my left arm by him. It hurts very much. I think the bone might have been broken, but luckily the injury isn't serious."

    He reported peace of mind to the elders in the group.

    [Muscle Tang San Zang]: "You got hurt fighting a little wolf demon? It seems your 'Golden Awe Body Refining Technique' still isn't mastered."

    [Clean Table Messenger]: "Oh! Master, don't be so harsh on the young master. He is only twelve years old this year!"

    [Clean Table Messenger]: "Killing a wolf demon at the age of twelve, that's impressive!"

    [Monkey King Sun Wukong]: "Have you used any of my magic arts?"

    [Jiangliu'er]: "I used it! Mister Sun's first three transformations are very powerful, especially the 'Bear Mountain Strategy'. After I chanted the spell, I already had over 6000 pounds of strength, which scared the wolf demon greatly."

    [ding! "Muscle Tang San Zang" sent a special red envelope!]

    Huh? Jiangliu'er was taken aback.

    Tang San Zang senior was still scolding himself for not practicing enough.

    At this time, the senior gave him another special red envelope?

    Upon receiving it, Jiangliu'er found that it was a bottle of medicine for treating contusions and injuries.

    [Muscle Tang San Zang]: "Apply the medicine, use the 'Golden Awe Body Refining Technique', and in three breaths, you can recover from the broken bones."

    Jiangliu'er felt moved in his heart. Tang San Zang senior was indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

    The senior has always been like that, with a sharp tongue and a soft heart!

    Jiangliu'er quickly followed suit, and within three breaths, the pain had disappeared.

    He moves his left arm around, and the bone fracture injury is completely cured.

    What a powerful ointment!

    [Jiangliu'er]: "@Muscle Tang San Zang, thank you senior for the medicine!"

    [Muscle Tang San Zang]: "In the future, remember to diligently practice the body refining technique. Seeking divinity and Buddhism is not as good as relying on oneself. Law and technique proficiency is not as good as body proficiency."

    [Jiangliu'er]: "Jiangliu'er will remember this!"

    ...

    Jiangliu'er put Wolf Wujici's head and the ointment given by Tang San Zang into his Xuemaiguo, and then immediately called Hu Yuyu and Shouqing.

    The two people and one fox entered the cave of the demon.

    They found the armory of Wolf Gully, which was filled with knives, spears, clubs, and strong bows and powerful crossbows. Jiangliu'er was overjoyed: "So many weapons! I won't have to make bamboo spears myself anymore!"

    They also found the granary, which had dried meat and grains. Jiangliu'er refused the dried meat: "Who knows if this meat is human flesh?"

    They also found the treasure room, but found that the demons were not as rich as they had imagined. They only found one hundred two gold and seventy-seven copper coins.

    Jiangliu'er guessed: "It must be that they need to feed too many big and small demons. Wolf Gully has over two hundred demons at its peak, which requires a lot of consumption."

    In addition to that, there are places like the residences of the demons.

    They searched for the whole day without finding anything valuable.

    "Master, look over here! There's a very large furnace!" until Hu Yuyu exclaimed in surprise, "It looks like it's made of copper. How many copper coins could be minted with so much copper?"

    Jiangliu'er and Shouqing followed the sound.

    "Mm?"

    Jiangliu'er realized that he had stepped on something strange.

    Looking down, he saw it was like a soft cloth, and it emitted a smell of blood.

    He picked it up.

    But suddenly, he froze.

    Shouqing curiously took a look as well, and his expression changed dramatically. "Comrade, this... this... this seems to be a human skin!"

    Jiangliu'er didn't say a word. He carefully spread out the human skin with great care.

    He gently smoothed out the wrinkles on it.

    "Master... This is the little monk from the back door of Jinguang Temple," Hu Yuyu recognized the face on the skin, and she couldn't help but be taken aback.

    "The monk's name is Hu Jing. When I was brought to the Jinguang Temple by Senior Master Faming, he was the only one in the temple who dared to speak to me. Even after I injured someone in the temple, he didn't betray me and instead advised me to stay away."

    Jiangliu'er's voice was low, and the joy of looting the demon cave vanished.

    "He must have been killed by the wolf demon," Shouqing sighed, "May all evil demons be eradicated."

    Jiangliu'er suddenly said: "The person who killed him is not only Wolf Wujici."

    Hu Yuyu asked, "Master, did you find something?"

    Jiangliu'er pointed to the ground: "On the ground, there is still a footprint. This footprint is not of a demon, but of a human."

    "I will go to the Underworld to find Hu Jing. Please wait here for a moment."

    Jiangliu'er said his piece, then he recited a 'Passage to the Afterlife' incantation and sank into the Underworld.

    ...

    This is the third time Jiangliu'er has sunk into the Underworld.

    The first two times, he left immediately after entering the Underworld, never staying longer than five breaths.

    This time, Jiangliu'er wants to come in to look for someone.

    So it was...

    In front of him, there was a sea of ghosts, all the spirits of the deceased.

    There were men and women, old and young, most with a stagnant face, as if there was no order or order, walking towards one direction.

    There were too many ghosts. At a glance, it seemed like a surging river.

    Some ghosts inadvertently deviated from the route, and some ghost officers shouted and threw "soul locks" to forcefully drag them back.

    A few ghosts retained their memories from life, shouting in disbelief that they were dead, and some ghost officers brandishing mourning poles struck them on the head.

    This caused them to howl in agony.

    "It's you again!" A ghost officer saw Jiangliu'er, a living person.

    He angrily said: "I thought it was a fellow ghost officer who wrongly imprisoned you last time, but it turns out that you are a living person who sneaked into the Underworld!"

    "Where are you going!?!?"

    ...

    ...
