A Fan of Flipping Tables
The same Dragon Eye was not even in the same league in the eyes of the Hu Mang and the Snake Vein.
In Hu Mang's eyes, he could only see the changes in the Dragon Vein and the evolution of Tribulation Qi within the scope of a single city.
However, in the Snake Vein's Eyes, it could see the dragon Dragon Vein and Tribulation Qi of the entire Java.
Although Java is not large, it is roughly the size of Heavenly Gate province.
Through Snake Vein eyes, the Hu Mang can see all the evolution within the entire Java area.
For example, there are at least seven or eight places where small-scale Tribulation Qi is being generated, and these places are either old-established Chinese manors or the headquarters of a large port power.
Clearly, these forces are either causing trouble or on their way to causing trouble.
If Hu Mang wants to cause trouble, these places are perfect "quest farming spots".
Although I don't know what kind of schemes you're plotting, knowing that you're causing trouble makes things easier.
Moreover, this wide variety of Dragon Eye also provided the Hu Mang with a channel to absorb "Tribulation Qi".
With this channel, the Hu Mang can continuously absorb "Tribulation Qi." If it encounters a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul or even Spirit Transformation level, the Hu Mang can take this opportunity to temporarily generate Tribulation Qi and raise its cultivation level by one major realm.
With his high-quality Golden Core of Three Flowers and Five Qi, as well as various powerful Divine Ability from the Azure Mysterious Realm, Hu Mang thought that as long as the opponent didn't leave their Nascent Soul stage, he could still put up a fight against someone at the Nascent Soul stage.
If he were to add the Eye of the Tribulation Dragon, he would definitely be a Nascent Soul level fighter.
Although the Hu Mang's main body is still in Zheng Family Garden, its Snake Vein —no, it should now be called the Ghost Dragon Vein's clone—has already gone to various places in Java to devour the Tribulation Qi.
As for himself, after arranging accommodation for the Old Third, he took him directly to the training ground.
He wanted to test the other party's Mysterious Transformation to see if they were as effective as the Nanyang devil.
On the training ground
"Old Third, I'm going in, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Second Brother, you can't hurt me in my Mysterious Transformation form." Chen Xiaosan was full of confidence.
"That's hard to say. The gun I have is a locally made weapon. It can't kill the Jiangtou Imp from Nanyang, but it can hold them in place."
"Be careful, and call for help if you get hurt."
"Don't worry, if there's any real danger, I'll scream even more lewdly than the Old Fourth."
"..."
The Hu Mang watched as its opponent entered Mysterious Transformation state, which was indeed very strange; the opponent's physical body visibly disappeared from the spot.
It is invisible to the Yin-Yang Eyes ability to see ghosts can only perceive a wisp of Ghost Qi.
However, this Ghost Qi was not emitted from the other party's "Mysterious Transformation" state, but rather Ghost Qi was unconsciously emitted during the process of entering "Mysterious Transformation" state.
In other words, if you don't act the moment your opponent enters their special state, they are not only in "invincible mode" but also in "invisible mode."
The next moment, the Ghost-Suppressing Great Spear struck like lightning, piercing directly through the spot where the Old Third had been standing.
"Old Third, are you still here?"
"Yes, I'm here."
Chen Xiaosan broke free of his Mysterious Transformation, patted his shoulder—the spot where the spear tip was aimed.
Not only was the outer skin undamaged, but even the clothes themselves were completely unscathed.
"Can you feel anything?" Hu Mang asked.
Chen Xiaosan looked at the Yin Qi, unsettling artifact and pondered for a moment before saying:
"I can feel it a little, but it's like a chopstick stuck in water; once it leaves the area of my Mysterious Transformation body, the water closes up."
"It's just a chopstick, not a red-hot needle?" Hu Mang asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I really don't feel anything."
However, seeing the increasingly dangerous look in the eyes of the second brother opposite him, Chen Xiaosan cursed and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"Damn it, second brother, don't stab me in my normal state! You'll kill me instantly. It's even worse in your Ghost Transformation form. This ghost spear is my natural counter; wherever it hits, it'll explode."
So, the ghost gun I painstakingly crafted is effective against ghosts, but ineffective against "Mysterious Transformation".
Hu Mang fell into thought.
Then he beckoned, and the Jiangtou Imp from before, now the Third Brother of the new Liu Household, walked out of the Willow-Binding Grove expressionlessly.
Although his face was expressionless and ashen, the two people present could tell from his dawdling steps that he was unwilling.
Soon, the Hu Mang hurled a spear, which struck the creature squarely on the forehead, freezing its reluctance in mid-air.
"Then how does it manage to stay in place?"
"That's right, how can it Mysterious Transformation and maintain that Mysterious Transformation for so long? The Law Power consumed by this Mysterious Transformation is more than I, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, can withstand. How can it maintain it for so long?"
The Old Third also curiously came over, clicking his tongue in amazement, and carefully scanned the other person's entire body with his Divine Sense.
Finally, their gaze fell on the little devil's hands.
"You felt it too?" Hu Mang asked.
The Old Third nodded silently, entered the "Mysterious Transformation" once again, and touched the other's palm in the Mysterious Transformation state.
The little devil, who had been expressionless, suddenly showed an extremely terrified look.
Soon, the Old Third gave his answer.
"Unlike me, I am a flowing stream, while it is a puddle. My 'water source' is inexhaustible, but it is stagnant water, meaning its 'Mysterious Transformation' is limited. In the same spot, this gun can't kill it in one shot, but it can't withstand three shots either."
The Old Third provided a professional assessment.
Hu Mang stared thoughtfully at the tip of the weapon.
Therefore, it's not that you can't kill Jiangtou Ghost, but rather that you need to target the specific part of its head that it's Jiangtou.
And if once isn't enough, do it at least three times, until you've exhausted the opponent's resources, and that's how you wear them down.
He believed that not many people in Nanyang knew this secret.
Perhaps only the established powers truly understand.
This judgment alone is worth more than the local specialties sent to the Old Third.
Because besides him, Zheng Family Garden also has a group of excellent fighters. As long as they know this secret and receive special training, ninety percent of the Jiangtou in Nanyang will be ineffective against them.
Hu Mang quickly pulled the gun barrel out of "Little Devil Number Three's" head.
The green-faced brat instantly hid behind the Hu Mang's rear, looking at the Old Third with a wary and fearful gaze.
This left the Old Third speechless. "It's not like I stabbed you, why are you looking at me like that?"
Hu Mang shook his head, took out the Underworld Bureau Token, flicked his finger, and a point of "black light" carrying a strong Ghost Qi yet warm shot out.
The third imp's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth, jumped up, and swallowed it whole.
"Holy crap, Yin Virtue!"
The Old Third, who had been smugly making faces at the other party, stopped laughing.
This small Yin Virtue is worth a third of my previous monthly salary.
"Second brother, where did you get the Yin Virtue to give this to the brat? It's such a waste!" the Old Third said, heartbroken.
"I got it from a previous quest, but I don't need it."
"Then give it to me!!"
"Then why don't you stab me?"
"Then forget it."
The little devil seemed to know the value of this item; he covered his mouth and hopped into the woods.
Although it's still zombie-themed, it seems to have gained a bit more popularity.
Hu Mang looked at the other person, seemingly lost in thought.
He didn't name Liuniang; Liuniang chose the name herself.
This has little to do with the five members of the Heavenly Court. It's mostly because she still has remnants of Liu Wuniang's words in her memory. After all, the origin of this Bloodline Private Dragon Method is Liu Wuniang.
Since there was a Fifth Sister, she was called Liuniang.
The reason why Xiaosan are given such strange designations is not complicated: they are preceded by Xiaosi Xiaoyi and Xiaoer.
These are all Jiangtou Ghost that the Ghost Dragon Vein devoured before.
The most ferocious are often the last to be born.
Liuniang then assigned a new ranking based on the degree of ferocity.
"So, the idea of a jigsaw puzzle is sound?"
Hu Mang didn't even turn his head through the tunnel.
"Yes, when I Mysterious Transformation, I can sense the other person's palm; there's a possibility of merging."
The Old Third provided the answer.
"What would happen if it were pieced together? A complete ghost that could maintain its Mysterious Transformation for an extended period of time?"
Chen Xiaosan hesitated for a moment, then said:
"That's unlikely. If they really had that ability, the Underworld Bureau would have already come to recruit people—no, I mean, recruit ghosts. As far as I know, even members of the 'Hundred Mysteries Night Parade' can't maintain their Mysterious Transformation for long."
Hu Mang nodded silently; he already knew what the completed puzzle of the Jiangtou Ghost would be.
Evil God.
Evil God that only a powerful ruler of Nanyang could possess!
These Evil God could not have appeared out of thin air.
Whether it was the Jiangtou forces that Zheng Family Garden had deliberately courted, or the strange Blood Buddha statue at the viewing tower.
All of this proves that the ultimate goal of this unique Nanyang spiritual practice is to Evil God.
Evil God with Orthodox God Position.
The prevalence of witchcraft in Nanyang was not without reason.
"Alright, the experiment is almost over. You can look at the information about Zheng Family Garden's Jiangtou if you want. If you want to go out, I'll find someone to take you. If you want to stay home, you can go to the research building. The network signal is good there, and there are a few Heavenly Gate people there. You can chat with them or play games with them if you're bored."
Hu Mang dusted himself off and got up to leave.
The Old Third was taken aback.
"So, where are you going, second brother?"
"I go to work, have you forgotten what I do?"
The Old Third then realized what was happening.
After a brief exchange, the Old Third realized that the Chinese-owned garden was called Zheng Family Garden, and it didn't belong to his second brother, but to a Boss Zheng.
As for his second brother, although he held a high position here, acting as a manager, he was not the master of the house.
The Old Third, who had no gang experience or overseas knowledge, quickly found a suitable position for his second brother.
Security Captain!
Switching from civil engineering to security guard, it's hard to say whether this second brother's career path is progress or regression.
However, the civil engineering industry is not doing well right now, so having any work to do is already a good thing.
The Old Third genuinely felt that way.
These days, people are even willing to deliver takeout to ghosts.
However, he soon realized that his second brother was not just a security captain.
He was going to negotiate with another bigwig from Nanyang and pick up someone.
When this kind of scene, which only happens in movies, appeared in real life, Old Third immediately got excited, showing the unique schadenfreude of Heavenly Gate, and insisted on seeing how the legendary Jianghu negotiation was conducted.
He can be in charge of flipping the table for his second brother!
He's been wanting to do that for a long time.
Negotiation? What a load of rubbish!
If no one wants to eat, then nobody should eat!
