Swallowing the Little Daoist Priest Whole [New Book Please Collect!]

This small temple that abruptly appeared in the mountains bears the inscription "Mountain God Temple" on its plaque.

It's very small, with a single door and no windows, painted entirely black as if dyed with ink. The interior is shadowed, so dark that one cannot make out its appearance.

A white fox, which usually worships and prays to gods, brazenly urinated inside. It seems the deity enshrined within is not one of much standing.

As Li Chu pondered the white fox's actions, he suddenly heard a woman's delicate cry from within the temple.

"Husband!"

Chen Zi'an's expression changed drastically, losing his composure. "Wife!"

He immediately wanted to rush into the temple, while the white fox still bared its teeth at him by the entrance.

Li Chu had already stepped inside.

Seeing that it couldn't stop Li Chu, the white fox glanced around, suddenly transformed into a white blur, and scampered away.

Li Chu covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, enduring the pungent smell of fox urine as he entered the Mountain God Temple. Inside the small temple, everything was in its place.

Upon entering, the light and sounds from outside seemed to be cut off. The interior had its own faint ethereal light, providing illumination.

Enshrined on the altar was a black, gold-trimmed Suspended-Eye Fierce Tiger in a descending posture. Its killing qi was incredibly fierce, especially its upturned tiger eyes facing the temple entrance, no different from a hungry tiger truly fixated on its prey.

The space within the temple was extremely narrow, visible to the end at a glance. There was no woman inside, and Li Chu couldn't figure out who had made that delicate cry.

Li Chu quickly scanned the surroundings, his gaze locking onto the area behind the idol.

If anything could be hidden in this temple, it could only be there, concealed by the altar.

He strode forward and saw that beneath the black tiger, there was indeed a deep cave, emitting a dark red glow, quite eerie.

Li Chu didn't dare to step directly in. Instead, he peeked in from the left.

As he looked, his pupils contracted sharply!

He saw two rows of bloody corpses hanging in the cave, all fresh human corpses, neither decayed nor rotten!

If they were merely corpses, it wouldn't have moved him so.

But the closest one, in the first row on the left, was a thin scholar dressed in plain cloth.

It was clearly Chen Zi'an!

Boom--

Before he could glance back at the "Chen Zi'an" outside the temple door, the door of the Mountain God Temple slammed shut.

That's right, the temple's door was like a sluice gate, heavily dropping from above.

In an instant, all light vanished, and the world plunged into darkness.

Immediately after, the ground beneath Li Chu's feet began to tremble, the entire temple shaking violently!

This small square of land started to reveal its true form...

Outside the temple gate, Wang Longqi also heard the delicate cry. Seeing Chen Zi'an's expression change drastically, and Li Chu rush into the small temple first, he too put on an anxious look.

But he mused to himself, the fox urine stench was so strong even from a distance. If he went in now, he might faint on the spot.

It's better to just put on a show and shout a couple of times. Once they're all inside, I'll just be the scout outside.

So, he feigned a couple of shouts: "Someone's inside! Hurry and save them!"

Beside him, Chen Zi'an continued to yell: "Wife! Wait for me! Don't be afraid!"

They both shouted for a while.

Then... they both noticed something was slightly off.

They exchanged glances and realized neither of them had taken half a step forward.

A thought simultaneously crossed their minds: Is this guy also faking it?

Wang Longqi thought, it's your wife inside, not mine. If I don't want to endure the stench and go in, can't you?

Chen Zi'an, however, thought: Did he find out?

At this moment, he pointed behind Wang Longqi and said: "Seventh Young Master, look behind you!"

"Huh?"

Wang Longqi turned around and saw a stunning woman in a red dress swaying gracefully as she approached. A fleeting glance, and she was as beautiful as a celestial being.

He was instantly smitten and about to step forward, but after a few more glances, he realized something was wrong.

The woman's eyebrows, eyes, and features were all exquisite – perfect willow brows, almond eyes, a delicate nose, red lips...

But when put together, there was an indescribable awkwardness.

It was as if... they shouldn't have been on the same face.

Wang Longqi's reason quickly returned.

In this desolate wilderness, a bewitching and strange woman suddenly appeared. And it seemed Chen Zi'an knew her?

Why?

He looked at Chen Zi'an. Chen Zi'an seemed very respectful of the woman.

This made Wang Longqi even more suspicious.

"Heh heh, this skin is actually quite nice." The Red Clothed Woman suddenly laughed, her voice like Silver Bell's, "It's just a pity that after seeing the Little Daoist Priest's skin, looking at other men is somewhat uninteresting."

Hearing her words, even if Wang Longqi was foolish, he knew this person's origin was not right.

He smiled cautiously and said, "Miss, you speak quite humorously."

The Red Clothed Woman's tone shifted abruptly, her gaze suddenly sharp, "Humorous? I'm going to peel your skin!"

Boom!

As soon as she finished speaking, the black sluice gate of the small temple slammed shut with a boom, the heavy sound making Wang Longqi's legs go weak.

"Don't scare me! I'm not afraid of you!" Wang Longqi said, taking more than ten steps back.

This situation didn't seem right.

The Red Clothed Woman seemed to be deliberately teasing him, slowly approaching and saying, "I'm a ghost, aren't you afraid?"

Wang Longqi glanced at the closed temple door, swallowed, and forced himself to puff out his chest, "Afraid? Afraid of what! This young master's nickname is Undead Knight, would I be afraid of a Female Ghost?"

"Then you're very impressive." The Red Clothed Woman chuckled lightly, seeming about to make a move.

Wang Longqi quickly shouted, "Don't make any rash moves! I'm telling you, that Little Daoist Priest who just went in is the Evil Spirit Buster of Yuhang Town. I'm his close friend, his sworn brother! You dare to mess with me? He'll chop you down with one sword!"

"Is that so?"

Before he finished speaking, the black small temple's situation changed dramatically, and a rumbling sound suddenly came from top to bottom!

The entire temple seemed to be uprooted from the ground and lifted up together.

The next second, with a flash of light, the entire temple transformed into a huge black tiger head!

This tiger head looked like black lacquer with gold inlay, its brilliance faintly visible. Its pair of tiger eyes held majesty and ferocity, its divine light piercing. Its pair of pure black fangs were as cold as swords and halberds! Then its entire body emerged from the earth and let out a roar towards the sky!

ROAR--

Suddenly, the Yin Fiend Qi was overwhelming! It turned into a raging wind! The wind was filled with nauseating, chilling cold.

The wind came from the tiger.

The Yin Wind came from the Ghost Tiger.

Wang Longqi was so scared he sat down on the ground.

This was actually a giant black tiger nearly thirty feet long! It had burrowed its body into the ground, leaving only its head on the surface to transform into this temple.

And Li Chu, walked right into the tiger's maw!

He was swallowed whole by this black tiger!

Wang Longqi inwardly cursed three times again.

Bad! Bad! Bad!

He looked at Chen Zi'an, the one who had led him and Li Chu all this way. Chen Zi'an was now looking up at the black tiger's appearance with utmost respect, clearly knowing this would happen all along.

Only then did Wang Longqi realize he had been thoroughly tricked by this fellow!

He heard a gust of wind from behind him and turned to see a tall man in heavy armor landing.

The man's body was iron-blue, clearly not alive, and every movement was extremely stiff. His right hand, with sharp fingernails, was currently holding a White Fox that was barely breathing.

Although Wang Longqi had never seen such a creature before, one word quickly surfaced in his mind.

Zombie.

"This fox almost ruined our plans. I don't know what kind of relationship it had with that Little Daoist Priest, but let it die with him!"

The Armored Zombie's voice was extremely unpleasant, like metal grinding, causing Wang Longqi to involuntarily shiver.

Just as Wang Longqi looked over, the Armored Zombie also happened to look at him and asked coldly, "Just now you said you and the Little Daoist Priest were sworn friends? Friends who'd risk their lives for each other?"

Its tone was chilling.

Wang Longqi's body stiffened.

He hesitated, revealing a forced smile that looked uglier than a cry, and said, "Actually, we're just ordinary friends..."

He paused.

Then he added, "Not very close."
