Chapter 140 Master Camel
Chapter 140 Master Camel
Yang Silang flipped his wrist again, revealing a rune disc with two small red dots on it, which was the positioning artifact that Huang Shouren had given out when the group set off.
The two red dots on the disc represent East Fort and West Fort; the closer they are, the brighter the red dots become.
Yang Silang stomped his feet on the deer's belly, and the antlered deer immediately leaped forward. After running from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, he was finally able to determine the location based on the brightness and frequency of the red dots flashing on the rune disc.
The wind was so strong that it completely veered it off its original path.
Now, he is actually closer to West Fort, only a little over two hundred li away, and should be able to return in two days; but he is much farther from East Fort.
"drive!"
Without hesitation, Yang Silang grabbed the deer's antlers and tilted them, causing the deer to run in that direction.
"If the East Fort is too far to reach, then we can go from the West Fort; it's the same thing."
They traveled like this for several hours.
Yang Silang used his spear to mediate more than a dozen disputes involving demons, saving several demons' lives and kindly guiding several demons to the Western Paradise. Of course, as a price for his mediation, the reindeer ended up with many more things on its back.
In addition, the strong wind swept away countless trees and plants from the ground, leaving behind a lot of flowers, grasses, and life, including many precious materials and rare plants.
Yang Silang filled the bearskin bag in just half a day, and also picked up a few demon corpses and cut a few demon whips, instantly making up for his previous losses and gaining a lot more.
Aside from the absence of Pei Zhuangbai and his companions, and the fact that the silly deer beneath him wasn't running very steadily, he did the job almost perfectly and effortlessly.
As darkness gradually fell.
The antlered deer beneath him was running slower and slower, apparently because it was tired.
Yang Silang was preparing to find a safe campsite.
On the horizon ahead.
Suddenly, a crudely made large vehicle appeared.
A demon sat atop the carriage. This demon used magic to shrink his body to only about ten feet tall, with more than ten camel humps on his back and two heads growing from his neck.
One of the heads was alert and alert, its eyes gleaming fiercely as it surveyed the surroundings. It had half a horse carcass in its mouth and looked like Pei Shihou's mount, Wuji. But the other head was drooping, as if it had been flattened by a blunt object. Its facial features were no longer recognizable, and it had become a lump of rotten flesh.
The more than ten humps on its back were nearly half destroyed, and its body was covered in wounds, some of which were bite wounds, while others were ulcerated wounds the size of bowls that were emitting purple smoke, clearly indicating that it was extremely poisonous.
The great demon looked somewhat listless and lay sprawled on a large cart. The cart was made of rough wood, secured with nails of swords and spears, and had several roughly shaved, not very round wooden wheels underneath, with rough wood as axles through which they passed.
It's a miracle that such a poorly made car didn't fall apart and could still run at high speed.
This great demon was no stranger; it was the camel demon that Yang Silang had seen before, the one vying for the Yellow Jade Fruit. He wondered if it had ultimately succeeded.
Looking at the carriage in front, it's even more peculiar; this great demon doesn't use horses to pull the carriage, but people.
Yang Silang glanced at it and saw several familiar faces.
At the very edge was Ji Jinliang, his face etched with a worried expression, his horse reins in hand. In the middle was a beautiful woman with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows, none other than Su Zhixiu, the daughter of the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce. The one whose face was flushed with anger was Pei Shihou, the fourth young master of the Pei family and a troublesome little devil.
With all six legs working together, the three men pulled the cart quickly and steadily.
They had a new golden ring around their necks, tightly fastened, and it was unclear what it was.
The old camel on the cart was still clutching a long whip in its forelegs. If anyone didn't use force, the whip would snap down with a sharp crack.
Just by looking at the many cross-shaped blood marks on Pei Shihou's face, one could tell that he had suffered a lot at the hands of this camel demon.
"Oh no... this car is coming towards me..." Yang Silang couldn't care less about the joy of seeing his teammates again. He suddenly realized what was happening when he saw the great demon in the car looking up at him.
He yanked the large antlers off the deer's head, turned it around on the spot, and cracked his whip.
"Hurry...hurry..."
"If we leave too late, we'll probably have to keep Pei Shihou company!"
Yang Silang spurred his antler deer to gallop dozens of feet away. The sound of the cart wheels rolling on the ground behind him grew closer and closer, and the old camel on the cart laughed heartily.
"Excellent, excellent, I've found another great mount!"
"Mountie, why aren't you coming to the old camel carriage right now?"
Hearing the demonic voice behind his ear, Yang Silang urged the antler deer to run even faster.
But before he could run for more than a few breaths, the antler deer fell heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth, completely exhausted. Yang Silang did a somersault and landed neatly, then took off running, even faster than the antler deer.
call……
He heard a whooshing sound behind him, and felt a shadow looming over his head.
Suddenly, a demonic cloud rose from beneath the old camel, carrying him directly down and crashing down like Mount Tai.
After a while.
The old camel returned to the cart with a still-struggling deer in its mouth, its mouth full of blood.
There was one more person among the people pulling the cart, Yang Silang, who also had a golden ring around his neck.
Yang Silang consciously placed the rope on his shoulder and walked alongside Ji Jinliang, Su Zhixiu, and Pei Shihou, becoming brothers in misfortune.
"Brother Yang..." Ji Jinliang and the others nodded to him and greeted him softly, their faces full of bitterness.
Yang Silang could only nod in response.
Because the great demon Old Camel was sitting comfortably in the carriage, the four dared not engage in casual conversation and could only communicate briefly with their eyes and brows.
"quick!"
A whip-like flower erupted from the back of Yang Silang's head, almost striking his back.
"Hurry, hurry...faster! If we let that old poisonous insect escape and lose the Yellow Jade Fruit, you'll all be the old camel's after-dinner snack!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly and frantically squeezed out their true energy, increasing their speed even further, making them even faster than galloping horses.
Yang Silang pondered to himself, "It seems that in the end, the one-horned red serpent was slightly more skillful and managed to snatch the yellow jade fruit. This old camel has been relentlessly pursuing me all the way." (Author "A Cup of Wine and a Cigarette" recommends reading "The Porter's Immortal Cultivation: I Have Level 5 Full Inscriptions" using the "Renren Bookstore" APP. Download and install.)
The group ran forward for another hour until it was completely dark, at which point the old camel pointed out a sheltered spot to rest.
The camel demon lay down on the spot, closed his eyes to rest, and let them go out to hunt, saying he wanted to eat roasted meat.
"Master Camel isn't afraid of you escaping..." it said nonchalantly. "The rings around your necks are a set of magical artifacts. They were originally the nose rings I wore before I attained enlightenment."
"I've refined this ring into a magical artifact. If you dare touch it, it will shrink. The more you move it, the faster it shrinks, until it completely breaks your vertebrae and takes your lives!"
"Those who aren't afraid of death can give it a try."
Seeing that the four of them had taken the opportunity to leave the old camel together and enter the jungle, after confirming that they were far enough away, Yang Silang touched the ring around his neck and asked.
"Is this thing really that eerie?"
Ji Jinliang nodded with a mournful face, then raised his head, exposing his neck.
His neck was forcibly stretched out, and the ring, only the size of a fist, tightly gripped the middle of his neck. He spoke in a shrill voice.
"It's true! I secretly tried it. Every time I move, the ring tightens a bit. Luckily, I know how to be flexible, or I would have suffocated long ago..."
"Now I don't even dare to fart loudly, and I speak in a pinched voice, for fear of bursting my throat."
"That old monster really treats us like livestock to pull a cart!"
Su Zhixiu touched the gold ring around her neck, her eyes welling up with tears, her face flushed red, feeling both anxious and ashamed.
"You lot just need to be slaves, that old demon even said he'd send one of us to warm his bed..."
"What are we going to do?!"
Yang Silang then looked at Pei Shihou, no longer caring about the man's character, and asked anxiously.
"Young Master Pei, where is your Red Bird Fan?"
"Give that old demon a fan, and turn him into roasted camel!"
Pei Shihou gave a wry smile and spread his hands.
"And what's with this Red Bird Fan? My fan is powerful, but it's too slow to activate."
"Before it could fully drink my blood, the camel snatched it away from mid-air and hid it in its hump, where it became its treasure."
"Fortunately, I crushed a communication talisman. As long as my brother is nearby, he will definitely find a way to rescue me."
Yang Silang fell silent instantly.
Even this heavily injured old camel was still beyond the four people's ability to stop. It possessed powerful demonic energy, and had previously used its demonic energy to instantly suppress all of Yang Silang's resistance and forcibly put a golden ring around his neck.
Without external forces, escaping the old camel's control would be extremely difficult.
The group exchanged a few more whispered words, realizing that they had all been swept up in the storm and thrown out.
Ji Jinliang and Su Zhixiu landed one after the other and were captured by the seriously injured old camel. They were made into a carriage and used as horsemen and horses. Then Pei Shihou and his mount, Wuji, were lucky enough to land together.
Good fortune ran out and turned into misfortune, which happened to fall on the side of the old camel. The black horse was used as a snack, and Pei Shihou, unable to resist, became the third person to be killed.
Finally, Yang Silang appeared, and the four of them were together. As for Pei Zhuang, Bai Zhu, and the other four, they were nowhere to be seen. It was unknown whether they had died in the storm or landed safely.
The four were about to continue exchanging information when the old camel coughed repeatedly and cursed, "You four lazybones! You're dawdling over making a barbecue. If you keep dawdling, I'll roast you up and eat you!"
The four hurriedly entered the forest to hunt, light a fire, and barbecue.
After a busy period of work, thanks to his good weighing skills and the ability to use flowers and herbs as temporary seasonings, the old camel opened its mouth and swallowed a tiger and a wolf, and said with satisfaction that he would be a chef from now on.
It is also said that Yang Silang is the fastest runner and can be the lead horse that controls the direction and speed; Su Zhixiu looks nimble and can be a maid who helps the camel groom.
The old camel looked at Pei Shihou again, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips. He stared at him, looking him up and down, and his eyes gradually became somewhat slanted.
"As for you, young man, with your fair skin, delicate features, and handsome face, you'll be my bed warmer from now on!"
Everyone was instantly shocked, while Su Zhixiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Pei Shihou with sympathetic eyes.
Don't let this little devil's low character fool you; in terms of appearance, he's definitely the best among them all—a handsome young man. As for his fragrant bones, that's because he's been bathing in medicinal herbs since he was a child, so of course he smells good.
No one expected that the old camel would ask him to warm his bed.
Pei Shihou was stunned and jumped up.
"I...I'm a member of the Pei family!"
The old camel stiffened its neck, its eyes flashing with a fierce light as it spoke menacingly.
"So what if they're from the Pei family? So what if they're men?"
"This is Old Camel's territory. My word is law. If I approve of you, you're good; if I don't, you're not good!"
"If you weren't surnamed Pei and had such noble blood, I might not even need you to warm my bed!"
"Once we catch up with the old poisoner, retrieve the Yellow Jade Fruit, and accomplish this crucial matter, I will consummate our marriage!"
Pei Shihou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as long as it wasn't time to warm the bed immediately.
But when had he ever suffered such a humiliation? He was so angry that his whole body trembled. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and tried hard to control his emotions, but his eyes were already red!
Countless thoughts raced through his mind as he pondered how to kill this despicable lecherous camel.
After assigning tasks to the four men and having eaten and drunk their fill, the old camel immediately urged them to get up, put on their reins, and set off that very night to chase after the one-horned red serpent.
It used its demonic power to condense into a ball of green fire to light the way for everyone. Yang Silang and the others had no choice but to run all night following the fireball above their heads.
Every so often, the old camel would call for a halt, close its eyes, sniff the air for a moment, and then designate a route for everyone to run.
And so, the night passed, and dawn was breaking.
The four of them had been running all night, their blood and energy depleted, and their true energy almost completely drained. They were all exhausted and focused on keeping up their pace, not even bothering to look up.
Suddenly, the old camel on the cart perked up and roared, leaping into the air and riding on a demonic cloud as it charged forward!
"You old poisoner, give me back my Yellow Jade Fruit!"
