189: Chapter 182: Lord Fox Immortal of Daqing Mountain (Part 2)!

What on earth is going on?

Shape-shifting monsters?

Are all the farmers in Daqing Mountain demons?

Wei Gongzhan made a desperate escape.

At this moment he dared not hide his strength.

With his bloodline fully unleashed, his speed was like a phantom snake, even faster than Wei Gongyan’s full burst on stage.

Yet, even at such a speed, he was utterly exhausted and still couldn’t escape Daqing Mountain!

The moment he stopped for breath, Wei Gongzhan knew he couldn’t run anymore.

On his way, he saw many villagers transformed into various bizarre demons, of all shapes and sizes: there were four-to-five-meter-tall bear men, palm-sized civet cats, and creatures with human heads and snake bodies, or simply bodies that looked like inflated water balloons.

The whole Daqing Mountain landscape had completely changed from what he had seen before.

Previously small meat worms had grown seven to eight meters tall, the dense forests had shrunk to the size of fingers, and the tiny streams had become endless.

The landscape was changing as he ran; he knew he was trapped.

His heart was filled with unspeakable shock!

What kind of powerful being could possibly do this?

If the villagers had turned into demons, that he might barely accept, but the transformation of the landscape was like the divine acts of immortals from tales.

As a member of the Wei Family, he had seen many powerful magicians in the Capital City, but he didn’t believe any of them capable of this.

“Whoever you are, please show yourself!”

Giggling…

The reply was the adorable laugh of a child, playful yet delightful, but it sent a chilling coldness through Wei Gongzhan’s heart.

Demonic creatures often have extremely eccentric and perverse personalities, and he felt that such a child-like laugh could not be a good sign.

Based on his experience, the greater the contrast a demon presented, the more frightening and formidable it was likely to be.

In the north, some demonic creatures, despite their ferocious appearance that seemed outright terrifying, were not so troublesome to deal with.

However, those that seemed harmless were often the ones to be truly feared.

For example, a decade ago in Wolf Country, a Heaven Devourer that looked like a naughty child appeared, capable of swallowing thousands of people in a single gulp.

It was exceedingly terrifying.

It was said that even with the nation’s full force, Wolf Country could only seal the creature, with no known way to destroy it to this day.

The individual before him, with a child’s voice, could transform the natural landscape with a mere gesture.

Wei Gongzhan had never heard or seen such capability!

“Whatever demon you are, if you want to strike, do it quickly.

Why play games with me?”

Wei Gongzhan drew the dagger from his waist, subtly hiding it within his palm.

His muscles tensed.

On the dagger was the Wei Family’s most potent snake poison, their kill move.

If the opponent appeared easily, and if he was decisive enough, he might have a sliver of a chance at life!

He waited patiently, like a snake ready to strike its prey.

Patience was a Wei Family virtue.

Their Wind Snake bloodline endowed them with the patience of a venomous snake.

Once, he had lain in wait in the desert for three full days and nights without a drop to drink, just for a chance.

Now, he would do the same here—if the opponent did not show, he could just as easily wait another three days and nights without sustenance.

But his adversary clearly lacked such patience, appearing quite swiftly only a little more than five meters away.

Wei Gongzhan was ready to attack the moment the figure appeared, but the instant he saw the opponent, he lost all intention to do so.

It was really a child…

Wearing a red top, plump and rosy-cheeked, an adorable infant-like creature emerged.

Its eyes sparkled curiously as it stared at him, “You said…

you’re my grandfather?”

Its voice was soft and mushy like that of a regular child, naive and slightly silly, yet there was something endearingly sweet about it.

Wei Gongzhan almost instantly wanted to let down his guard.

He didn’t know why, but with just one glance, he felt no hostility towards the child before him.

Straining the last bit of his will, Wei Gongzhan asked sternly, “Who…

who are you?”

“You don’t recognize me?” The little one seemed confused, then showed its sharp teeth, “Then you lied to me!”

The child obviously seemed angry, but the sight of those tiny tiger teeth was so cute and silly that Wei Gongzhan simply couldn’t muster any hostility.

He could only stiff-mask his face and slowly back away, “What exactly do you want?”

“Hmph!” The girl snorted, pointing her hand at Wei Gongzhan, and then something miraculous happened!

Suddenly, without warning, Wei Gongzhan’s body began to transform uncontrollably.

It was a strange feeling; his whole body felt warm as if it was melting, and the next moment, it involuntarily reformed into a mound like mud, immobile on the ground!

“Liars turn to cow dung, hmph hmph!” The little one puffed angrily, lying on the ground glaring at Wei Gongzhan.

After seeming tired out, it took a while before wobbly standing up and walking into the distance.

This…

isn’t an illusion technique?

“Hey, wait!” Wei Gongzhan called out urgently, trying to move forward only to find it excruciatingly difficult.

The transformation of his body made it almost impossible to take even a single step.

As the child receded further, Wei Gongzhan fell into despair.

He wouldn’t spend his entire life in this state, would he?

Clenching his teeth, he kept moving forward, albeit with incredibly low efficiency.

Each small distance required at least a quarter of an hour’s effort, and he would quickly become exhausted, needing at least half an hour’s rest or more.

This snail’s pace was unbearable, even for a Wei Family member with exceptional patience.

So he went, stopping now and then.

He had no idea how much time had passed when he finally saw another living creature.

It was a strange beast with the head of a bull and the body of a human, carrying large buckets of water to water the fields.

When it turned its head to see Wei Gongzhan, it burst into such uncontrollable laughter that its buckets fell to the ground amidst the crazed laughter in the fields.

Wei Gongzhan was speechless, watching the creature.

Now he knew that the villagers of Daqing Mountain were not demons but had been transformed into these shapes by that strange child.

It made sense, after all.

The people of Daqing Mountain were refugees from Lyuzhou, so how could they have turned into demons upon arriving here?

It must be some kind of magical spell, but he had never heard of such a technique.

“Hey, brother, is it really that funny?”

“Hahaha…” The bull-headed man laughed for a good while before he could catch his breath, propping himself up and saying, “I thought Old Yang got the short end of the stick being turned into a bucket, but you, you were turned directly into fertilizer!”

“Shut up!” The bucket used for watering, as if it were a person, suddenly spoke up, “You, Big Bull, you actually used me to carry water; wait and see what I will do to you!”

“What, you can play pranks on me, but I can’t?” The bull-headed man glared back at the bucket, “When I was turned into a fishing rod, didn’t you use me to fish?

Those hooks were in my ass!

Do you know how it feels to have fish biting your ass in the water?”

“Weren’t you quite comfortable with it?”

“Bullshit!” The bull-headed man’s face turned red: “Besides, do you believe I’ll use you to carry manure water?”

The bucket was silenced upon hearing this.

Lately, people had been taking their jokes too far during the change days, and it no longer dared to gamble on where others draw the line.

Wei Gongzhan, however, had already understood what was going on.

Clearly, these villagers had gotten used to being transformed like this.

Thinking so, he felt relieved; it seemed there wasn’t any real danger.

“Brother, I’m new here, and I was scared out of my wits just now…

Could you tell me what exactly is going on?”

“You’re new?” The big man burst into laughter again: “Then the first experience you had was quite unique.

Normally, the Fox Immortal is quite gentle with the new villagers.

Did you do something to anger the lord?

This is the first time I’ve seen someone turned into cow dung…”

“So, if you offend, you get a worse transformation?” Wei Gongzhan cautiously asked.

“What else?” The big man laughed heartily, pointing at the bucket, “This Old Yang here refused to give wine to the Fox Immortal when she came asking for it, and now he’s got what he deserved!”

“How is that my business?” The bucket retorted, “Lord Chen Ying expressly warned us, the Fox Immortal is still young and can’t drink.

Last time someone damn gave her a few drops; did you forget the mess we were in afterwards?”

At the mention of this, the bull-headed man shuddered.

That time the young fox spirit went on a drunken rampage, everyone on the mountain was transformed into strange things for a full three days and nights.

It was a dreadful memory.

Wei Gongzhan thought to himself: The Fox Immortal causes such chaos in Daqing Mountain and it’s tolerated, just what kind of background does she have?

Does she have anything to do with those two women mentioned by Heiyun?

Right, Heiyun said that there was a very scary girl inside the barrier.

Could it be the Fox Immortal he was referring to?

“Does the Fox Immortal do this often?” Wei Gongzhan probed further.

“Not very often…” The bull-headed man replied with a good-natured smile, “About once every ten days or so.

Don’t worry though, as long as you don’t excessively offend her, the Fox Immortal won’t keep you like this for long, usually just half a day.”

“I see…” Wei Gongzhan nodded, “So the Fox Immortal is so powerful yet so capricious.

Does she have anything to do with the Mountain God of Daqing Mountain?”

“I don’t know about that…” The big man shook his head, “But there are rumors that the Fox Immortal has something to do with that lord in the back mountain who bewitches people’s hearts.

We dare not ask about the specifics.

The Prefectural Governor and Lord Chen Ying have no control over the Fox Immortal and can only let her have her way on most days.”

As Wei Gongzhan was about to ask more questions, he suddenly heard that adorable voice ringing from afar again.

“Feh, you ugly man!”

Wei Gongzhan: “….”

Among the Wei family, he was also considered handsome, wasn’t he?

Although he was not as graceful as Lord Fei Jun, but…

he was far from being ugly.

“Listen, ugly man!” The little girl stood in the distance, hands on hips and full of pride, “My grandpa is the most powerful person alive today; he’s the Emperor of the Great Jin, the Human Race.

You dared to impersonate him, huh, I’ll punish you by turning you into cow dung for three days!”

Wei Gongzhan: “!!!”.
