Chapter 5: Elimination, Demon King
As they spoke, the two entered the tower, followed by Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.
Unlike Yang Xueli, who searched everywhere after entering the tower,
Cheng Feng walked directly up the steps, and after searching around a bit, he found the backpack under a skeleton.
"Miss Yang!"
Hu Bayi and Wan Pangzi both looked at Cheng Feng in horror.
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly in the building, afraid of waking the insects. Unexpectedly, Cheng Feng actually dared to speak.
Fortunately, the insects were fast asleep and were not awakened.
Yang Xueli was also startled and quickly turned to look at Cheng Feng, but her gaze soon focused on the backpack in his hand.
"This is what you've been looking for, here you go!"
Cheng Feng casually tossed the backpack to her.
Yang Xueli took the backpack, opened it, glanced inside, and breathed a sigh of relief. She then said to Cheng Feng:
"Thank you, this is indeed the one. Let's go out!"
"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and leave! If these bugs wake up, we'll be turned to ashes!"
Hu Bayi nodded hurriedly. He knew how terrifying this insect was, so he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.
Then Hu Bayi and his two companions cautiously walked outside.
What they didn't notice was that Cheng Feng, who had been following behind them, stopped at the doorway.
He watched them walk towards Professor Chen and his group, then turned and walked back into the tower.
Ascending the wooden stairs, stepping over the skeletons buried within, one ascends to the nine-story tower.
Outside, Professor Chen and the others rushed to greet Hu Bayi and his group when they saw them return.
"Shirley, did you find the notebook?"
"We've found the professor, he's in here!"
Professor Chen nodded, then asked with some surprise:
"Where's Xiaofeng? Didn't he go in with you?"
Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli quickly turned around to look behind them.
"That kid was clearly still behind me, where did he go?"
Fatty Wang scratched his head and said in confusion.
Hu Bayi looked at the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
Yang Xueli was the same; everyone immediately understood that Cheng Feng must have stayed inside the tower.
At this moment, Cheng Feng had already reached the top floor of the Demon Tower along the stairs. Here, fireflies were everywhere, and there wasn't even a place to put one's feet.
In the very center was a huge wooden coffin, measuring three meters by two meters.
"System, retrieve the Zhanlu Sword!"
As Cheng Feng finished speaking, a sword appeared in his hand. The sword was three feet and three inches long, with an understated black color and engraved with the stripes of a tiger amidst clouds.
"What a fine sword! I wonder if this old zombie in the coffin can withstand this rare and famous sword!"
Thinking this, Cheng Feng took a step forward, and instantly several sleeping fireflies died under his feet.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The fireflies are extremely sensitive to the blood of their own kind, and instantly the entire Nine-Story Demon Tower emitted a blinding blue light.
outside,
"Oh no! That kid really woke up the fireflies! Everyone, run!"
Without the fat man even needing to say anything, Professor Chen and the others had already started running.
After running for a while, everyone was dumbfounded because not a single firefly came to chase them.
As everyone turned around and stopped, they witnessed a bizarre scene.
Swarms of fireflies circled the ninth floor of the Demon Tower like a galaxy, looking like they wanted to go in but dared not.
"What's happening here?"
"I don't know, but it's very likely related to that young man, Cheng!"
The conversation between Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang brought everyone back to their senses.
At this moment, the ninth floor of the Demon Tower, which was originally covered with fireflies, was now only littered with insect corpses.
Cheng Feng looked at the wound on his palm. Every time the red blood dripped down, it drove the fireflies outside the Demon Tower away.
"Tsk tsk, this effect is even better than pesticides! No wonder it's worthy of the bloodline of the Great Shennong!"
After sighing, Cheng Feng walked to the wooden coffin.
The coffin is made of wood, so the outer layer has weathered somewhat, and some patterns remain on it.
Walking to the front of the coffin, Cheng Feng stepped on the coffin lid.
The immense force instantly sent the hundreds-of-pounds coffin lid flying. Stepping forward, Cheng Feng looked inside the coffin.
A tall, imposing man was rapidly transforming into cured meat.
Then, black hair began to grow on its skin, which was as thick as cured meat, and layers of disgusting hair completely covered its face.
"That black-haired zongzi must be pretty powerful. Never mind, let's strike first before it gets up!"
This isn't some kind of martial arts exchange; how could Cheng Feng possibly wait for him to completely turn into a zombie?
Then, the sword spun in Cheng Feng's hands, transforming into a two-handed sword, with the tip pointing at the head of the rice dumpling.
Thrust downwards with force.
With a clang, Cheng Feng was jolted back two steps.
"Damn it, people are so soft when they're alive, how come they're so hard when they're dead? They must have changed so much!"
call,
With a whoosh of wind, the rice dumpling inside the coffin burst out and stood upright in front of Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng's gaze narrowed slightly as he held Zhanlu horizontally in front of him.
Boom, boom, boom...
Zongzi took a step, and each step he took made a sound like a drumbeat, but fortunately the demon tower was sturdy enough.
Cheng Feng gritted his teeth, overcoming the slight fear that had just risen in his heart.
He was a little nervous as it was his first time facing this thing.
But Cheng Feng knew one thing: in a life-or-death situation, the more afraid you are, the more likely you are to lose your life.
Therefore, Cheng Feng put aside his urge to escape and took the initiative to attack the rice dumpling.
The sword pierced the air, heading straight for the rice dumpling's neck.
Zongzi reacted quickly, immediately raising her arm to block in front of her.
Something surprising happened to Cheng Feng.
Zhanlu effortlessly sliced through the zongzi's arm, and then the zongzi's arm fell to the ground with a thud.
"Huh? Why has it gotten soft again!"
Because he exerted too much force, Cheng Feng had to shift his feet to steady himself.
Upon picking up Zhanlu and examining it, Cheng Feng immediately understood: a trace of blood from when he had cut his palm remained on the sword.
It was precisely because of the evil-slaying effect of the Yan Emperor's bloodline that the zongzi's hand was so easily severed.
"The easiest of these three elimination tasks is actually the giant rice dumpling! I thought it would be a salamander!"
Thinking it over, Cheng Feng's face twitched as he reopened the scabbed wound, letting the blood stain one side of the sword blade.
Then, in no time at all, he easily chopped the giant rice dumpling into eight pieces.
'Ding~'
Eliminate the Monarch of the Zongzi Demon Kingdom (Completed)
"Next up are these unlucky bugs, what should we do?"
Cheng Feng thought about it with some trouble in his mind, and then his eyes lit up.
"I have a solution, but it's a bit difficult to implement."
Having come up with a solution, Cheng Feng turned his gaze to the coffin.
It appears to contain a considerable amount of burial goods.
