Chapter 233 Banquet While strolling around this demon market, Lin Jue occasionally saw some good things, but because he did not have enough money on him and it was not convenient for him to carry too many things at this time, he did not buy anything. However, judging from the gift-giving procession, the best things were still presented by these monsters to the Alligator King. "Ugh……" The Taoist walked slowly amidst the lights and shadows of the trees. Seeing shadowy figures and goblins and ghosts appearing one after another around him, he could not help but shake his head and sigh. If we didn't know that there was a giant man-eating monster lurking here, and if we didn't have the pressure of fighting him, this monster and ghost market would really be a strange sight. At least he was willing to take a good look around. At this moment, footsteps were heard behind me. Fox and Luo Seng were the first to notice it, followed by the little sister and Lin Jue. The four pairs of eyes turned around and saw a fat and big-bellied figure wearing loose clothes walking quickly towards them. Beside him were two yellow-scaled guards holding bone swords. When the many little demons around saw this, they all retreated. Three figures soon came in front of them.
"Gudong!" The catfish spirit raised a water bottle and took a big gulp of water. He seemed very tired and said to them while panting: "Four distinguished guests, you are going to have a feast in the Great King's Cave. There are caves in the cave. You don't have to sleep outside in the open air like ordinary guests. You can go to the cave to rest." "Huh? Is there such a good thing?" "It was all a small oversight. I forgot that these four distinguished guests were attending a banquet in the cave for the first time and didn't know about this." "Then please lead the way!" "Just follow me!" The catfish demon was out of breath, turned around and left after saying this. "You are a monster from the water. Are you used to walking on the shore?" Lin Jue asked. "Alas, what can we do if we are not used to it? Although my king often goes to the water, he practices and lives on the shore, so we have no choice but to come to the shore as well." The catfish demon was very respectful in front of him. "I see." Lin Jue slowly approached the cliff under the night sky. There was a hidden cave entrance under the cliff, with deep grass and forests on both sides, and a stream flowing out of it. The catfish spirit walked in the stream, wading through the water, which seemed to be more comfortable. Knowing that Lin Jue and the other two and the fox did not live in the water, he guided them to take the path on the shore. Go inside through the hole. Lin Jue thought it would be stuffy and dark inside, but after walking in, he found that it was not the case. Not only is it not stuffy, there is even a constant breeze. Not only is it not dark, but after walking for a while, you can even look up and see broken stars and a waning moon in the sky. “It turns out this is a sinkhole.” "As expected of a deity, he can tell at a glance that this is indeed a sinkhole." The catfish spirit walking in the stream said, "There are mountains all around, and only here is a sinkhole. This sinkhole is quite round and very large." “And a waterfall?”
"Huh?" The catfish demon was surprised. "How did you know that?" "I heard the sound of water." "That's right! It's not clear at night, but if you come back tomorrow, you'll be able to see it. There's a waterfall on the top of the mountain over there. It's not thick or big, but it's very high and very pretty." The catfish spirit pointed in a direction and said, "All the guests who came here said it was beautiful." "Your king really knows how to choose a place." "That's natural!" The catfish demon did not notice the sarcastic expressions on the faces of the people next to him, and just responded complacently. Soon the three people and the fox were brought to four caves. The cave was also very simple. There was nothing in it except a stone bed. Even the ground was not flat. There was no door either. It could only shelter from the rain. "Thank you." All three of them thanked the catfish spirit. The fox also nodded to the catfish spirit. "Although the king's birthday banquet is in three days, the king may prepare a banquet tomorrow and invite the guests to the banquet." The catfish spirit said, "I will come to invite the guests then." "It's troublesome." "No trouble." Soon there were only three people and one fox left in the cave. Although the catfish demon prepared four caves for them, they only used two. Lin Jue let his junior sister and Fuyao live in one, and he lit the night watch lamp and lived in one with Luo Seng. Nothing happened all night. The next morning, the catfish demon came again and invited them to a banquet. The catfish demon led them out of the cave and into the tiankeng. Lin Jue couldn't help but stop. This is indeed a huge circular tiankeng, surrounded by mountains and cliffs. There is a small waterfall hanging in front, with a stream of white water flowing down from the mountains. There are grass and gravel on the ground, and the scenery is beautiful when the sun shines down. These monsters really know how to find a place. "Dignified guest?" "Oh……" Lin Jue then continued to move forward. We encountered many goblins and ghosts along the way. A tall, thin old man wearing a khaki robe and a mustache walked side by side with them. He seemed to be a familiar customer and looked at them curiously. There was also a long red and white snake following a little demon upstream along the stream and couldn't help but turn his head to look at them. They even saw the figure of a rabbit demon in front of them. He was walking forward under the leadership of a little demon, but he was very nervous and did not notice the three people and one fox walking behind him.
Follow the catfish spirit all the way, through the tiankeng, straight to the small waterfall, and enter a cave next to the waterfall. Follow the cave to a large cave. This place was like a cave hall, very wide, with some holes on the left side, letting in the sunlight, and it was very dark on the right side. There were some stone tables on both sides, where some goblins and ghosts were sitting. Some had transformed into human form, some had kept their original form, and some were somewhere in between. Above is a large stone chair, which should be the seat of the Crocodile King, but he has not arrived yet. "My king also likes to make pills. I heard that you are masters of making pills, so I invite you to take a seat." The catfish spirit said, "The left side is brighter, and the right side is darker. Since you are all human, I think you will like the seats on the left, right?" "Sit on the right." Lin Jue looked to the right. In the darkness, a figure could be vaguely seen, but its appearance could not be seen, only some red and green colors could be seen. "what?" "General, you don't know that although we admire the reputation of the Alligator King and come to the banquet, we are human after all, and there are too many demons and ghosts here. We are not afraid of them and we respect them, but there may be some who don't like us. We are afraid of causing some unhappiness, and we don't want to provoke them to despise us, so we sit in the dark and feel more comfortable." "..." Such a long sentence? The catfish demon was stunned. As expected of a human being... "Good good!" The catfish spirit nodded repeatedly and led them to the right. As he walked, he repeated Lin Jue's words in his mind, as if he wanted to learn something from them. "Sit here, sit here!" The catfish demon still found four tables for them. "can." As Lin Jue spoke, he looked up. "What are you looking at? It's still hundreds of feet from the top of the mountain. This light is the power of the chicken fairy, a guest of my king. It was led down from the sky." The catfish spirit said, "Don't be afraid, my dear guest. Although there are some cracks on the wall and the top, they will not collapse." "I see." The catfish demon then asked them what they liked to eat and what they were forbidden to eat, told them that the Alligator King would be here soon, and then left. As soon as he left, the fox immediately stood up, left its seat, came and lay down beside Lin Jue. Lin Jue also reached out and stroked its back. His eyes looked at the goblins and ghosts around him. The power of these goblins and ghosts is much higher than those at the market outside yesterday. A much higher proportion of them have fishy and evil auras on their bodies, which can be clearly seen in more than one-third of them. Soon, more goblins and ghosts came in, and the seats in the hall were soon mostly occupied. Most of these goblins and ghosts were unruly. Some were extremely silent and didn't say a word. Some looked around, and some talked loudly as if no one was around. For a while, the hall was very noisy.
Until there was a rumbling sound. "The king is here." The hall suddenly became quiet. The three persons and the fox all looked over. There seemed to be a dark passage deep in the hall, and a huge black shadow was crawling towards it. When it approached the cave hall, the huge black shadow disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by a man in a gray-black robe, with an ordinary figure and an ordinary face, with a protruding mouth that was a little long, walking towards it with a bowed step. Behind him, first there followed a large rooster in a Taoist robe, and then a rhinoceros spirit that was more than ten feet tall, wearing armor, and had slightly gray skin, walking with heavy steps. One has some fairy spirit and the other is full of evil spirit. At first glance, I thought there was no one there, but when I looked carefully, I saw that there was a figure behind the rhinoceros monster. This figure was only as tall as a human's knee. It was a middle-aged man in a gray robe walking with a cane. Just like how he was inconspicuous next to the black bear man, this time it was walking behind the huge rhinoceros general. The light was dim, and the rhinoceros general was so majestic and powerful that even a monster with good eyesight could easily ignore it. "I have met the Alligator King..." "I have met the Alligator King..." "My king, I am honored." The goblins and ghosts in the hall below suddenly stood up and shouted. Lin Jue and the other two also stood up, but did not say anything. There was even a slight breathing sound beside him. From Luo Seng. The light here is darker than the other side, but Lin Jue can associate it with Luo Seng's expression without turning his head. Even know what he is thinking. Must be thinking—— What a demon king! He is nothing more than this! I saw the Alligator King in front walk to the stone chair and sit down, his face flushed. The Chicken Immortal and General Rhino naturally stood beside him, and the Rat Demon stood at General Rhino's feet, still very inconspicuous. "Thank you all for coming to the banquet! Haha!" The Alligator King laughed loudly, unable to hide his excitement. After he got the elixir yesterday, he first tasted the Xiaoyuandan that he had eaten before and was familiar with, and found that it was indeed real and of excellent quality. He then invited General Rat to come and show him the Lingyuandan. When General Rat saw it, he was also shocked. Although he had never eaten the Lingyuan Pill, when he was in Yi County, his king had once received a Lingyuan Pill as a reward from the Corpse Tiger King. He had seen it with his own eyes and it was almost the same as this one. This one is even more mysterious and wonderful. The Crocodile King was naturally very happy. After saying this, he looked around, looking for where those alchemy masters were sitting.
The rat demon was also searching around. A catfish spirit quickly stepped forward and pointed in a direction. The Crocodile King and the Rat Demon both looked over. The Alligator King's eyes lit up immediately and he laughed: "We have several unfamiliar guests today, especially some very capable ones. They are most welcome, most welcome." The rat demon immediately frowned. "..." Why does this person look so familiar? It’s just that the light in the cave is dim and it’s a little hard to see clearly. At the same time, Lin Jue and Fox were also looking at him, also frowning, and felt that he looked familiar. Also, because the light in the cave is dim, it is difficult to see clearly. Just as the rat demon identified Lin Jue, his eyes became fierce, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he heard the Taoist below speak first: "It's you!?" "Yes……" The rat demon was somewhat shocked at first, but the Taoist's tone was equally shocked, which seemed to suppress his shock. The words he was about to say had already reached his throat, but were only half spoken before being swallowed back down. Many goblins and ghosts had already followed the Alligator Dragon King's gaze and looked at Lin Jue and the other two - although the Alligator Dragon King was talking about unfamiliar guests, they knew that the Alligator Dragon King was obviously not referring to those little goblins, so they wanted to see who these guests were that even the Alligator Dragon King attached great importance to. Unexpectedly, everyone was confused when they saw this scene. (End of this chapter)
