Chapter 13 A Play
On the desert, the three looked at the corpse of the wolf demon.

Zhao Chanyi showed anxiety, and quickly said: "There is an uncertain time interval between death and resurrection, and everyone is different, so we don't know when it will resurrect or turn into a monster."

Regardless of his injuries, Hong Tao reluctantly got up and said, "Let's go, let's go! Don't stay here!"

The two couldn't wait to leave.

However, Liu Ping was still hesitant: "What about burning it to ashes? If it is burned to ashes, it will definitely not be able to be revived. How about we set it on fire and run away immediately before the monster comes?"

After hearing these words, Zhao Chanyi's gaze gradually became blank.

"Impossible - as I said just now, if any corpse is reduced to ashes, it will attract extremely powerful monsters to come to investigate immediately, so we can't easily destroy any corpse." Zhao Chanyi insisted road.

"Yes! We stick the fire talisman on the wolf demon, set it to start burning for a quarter of an hour, and then run away immediately - in this way, even if the monster comes, it will not be able to trouble us for a while." Liu Ping said.

So there is a very important question here.

In fact, this rule has countless loopholes, which can be avoided in many ways.

Has anyone tried to destroy corpses?
Destroying corpses and destroying traces is not only familiar to me, I believe that many practitioners are familiar with it.

wrong--

Totally... not right.

Die once, resurrect; die again, become a monster, then——

The monster is dead too?

Thinking back carefully, Wang Cheng was resurrected once, and then came to test himself.

Killed him twice himself.

It's just that he killed him for the second time and kicked his head to the giant monster that was condensed from countless corpses.

If you don't kick that kick--

After being killed by himself as a monster, he destroyed it and wiped out all traces of it. It has already lost its body, so how can it stand up to the big waves!
this is the key of the problem!

If it was crushed by him like this, wouldn't it mean that he had defeated the monster?

Someone should have thought of this kind of thing...

Countless thoughts flashed in Liu Ping's mind, he thought about it, and said:
"Two fellow daoists, wait a moment, there is one thing I want to try."

"What's the matter?" Hong Tao asked.

"A way to deal with monsters."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he squatted down in front of the wolf demon's corpse, made a formula casually, and shouted softly: "Yin!"

From the nostrils of the dead body, two streams of faint green mist drifted out, slowly drifting towards Liu Ping, entangled around his fingers.

This is the poison in the wolf demon's body, and it gradually flew out of the wolf demon's body after being attracted by Liu Ping.

"Congeal."

Liu Ping turned his hands.

The mist seemed to have become gloomy for a few minutes, stagnating in the air.

Liu Ping gently placed the mist on the wolf demon's nose.

"I didn't harm the corpse, but if it revives, the first breath it takes is the poisonous mist, and the poison will seep into its body, so it's still dead." He explained to the two.

——This is the way to prevent the resurrection of monsters!
Even if it revives, it can only be poisoned again and die!
The two were stunned.

next moment.

The wolf demon opened his eyes and was about to get up immediately.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Liu Ping held down the wolf demon with one hand, and activated the magic formula with the other——

The trick is done!
The poisonous mist suddenly seemed to be alive, quickly penetrated into the nostrils of the wolf monster, invaded its body all the way, and dispersed into all limbs and bones again.

"you……"

The wolf demon only had time to spit out a word before he turned green all over and froze on the ground, unable to move.

It's dead again.

Liu Ping confirmed this fact, and said happily: "Let's just think this is the second time it died, and the monster will come next."

He looked up, only to see Hong Tao and Liu Chanyi standing there without moving.

The two looked at him straight, as if they didn't believe such a thing existed in the world.

A strange feeling emerged spontaneously from Liu Ping's heart.

But he didn't have time to think about it——

Between the lightning and the flint, lines of small characters appeared in the void:

"Notice!"

"This sequence is already familiar with the rules of this world."

"At this critical moment, this sequence will temporarily activate a special mysterious technique to cover up all information for you, so that no existence can judge your details."

"Mysterious Ability: 'A Temporary Cameo' Activated!"

"Activate this mysterious technique, and your identity will become a mystery. No one will know your origin, and everything related to you will be forgotten afterwards."

"Duration: 3 minutes."

All the small characters flashed, and when Liu Ping finished reading them, they immediately disappeared into the void.

next second.

The wolf demon is alive again!
"It's so vicious..."

It just said a word, but Liu Ping held a spiritual fan and congealed a sharp ice arrow, which pierced through his body.

Since it is alive, killing it like this is not considered as harming the corpse.

——The same is true for killing Wang Cheng before.

The wolf demon struggled a few times, and realized that he couldn't move no matter what, he gasped and said, "This...friend, which adult's subordinate are you?"

Its eyes fell on Liu Ping, but it felt that the other party was not a dead person, let alone a living person, and it couldn't see through the details at all.

This situation is extremely rare.

unless……

The wolf demon was thinking, only to hear Liu Ping say: "This corpse is my property."

The wolf demon said: "No, it's mine."

Liu Ping thrust the ice arrow into the wolf demon's chest, and said softly, "Tell me again, whose is it?"

The wolf demon let out a miserable howl, and suddenly thought of something in his heart.

That's right, although this kind of situation is very rare, if you encounter an existence that you can't even see through, it is natural that the masters have come in person!
The masters sometimes act in secret for some extremely critical matters!
Thinking of this, the wolf demon said repeatedly: "This corpse belongs to you! It belongs to you!"

"Then why don't you go?" Liu Ping said.

"But—Which lord is your subordinate? Please tell me, so that I can know." The wolf demon tried again.

"Subordinate? Do you think I will be someone else's subordinate?" Liu Ping was so shrewd, and immediately sneered.

He waved the ice arrow, drawing a long bloody gash on the corpse.

The wolf demon was startled.

It thought it understood the other party's words, endured the pain, and showed a flattering smile: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that an adult came in person, so I'm leaving now!"

"It's best to forget everything you saw, otherwise I will never forgive you." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, yes, I understand!" said the wolf demon.

It tilted its head and suddenly stopped breathing.

The body no longer moved.

Liu Ping waited for a while.

The corpse was not resurrected.

It appears that the body was really abandoned.

— Now it belongs to Liuping.

Two lines of small characters quickly appeared in the void:

"time up."

"'A Temporary Cameo' ends."

Liu Ping said: "Hey, what should we do with this corpse?"

A line of small characters appeared: "I don't know."

Liu Ping pondered: "It seems that the corpse of this wolf demon already belongs to me, but how should I use it?"

He raised his head and looked at Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyi again.

The two were motionless.

"Friend Daoist Hong, Fairy Zhao, why don't you speak?" Liu Ping greeted.

The two of them froze, their eyes were blank, and they turned a deaf ear to Liu Ping's words.

They seem to be frozen in place by time, eternally at a certain moment in the past, unable to perceive anything that is happening now.

"Friend Daoist Hong!"

Liu Ping stood up, ran to the other party, put one hand on the other party's body, and used his spiritual power to check it out!
Got nothing.

Although he was injured, Hong Tao would not become like this!
"Friend Daoist Hong, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ping asked loudly.

Hong Tao's face was dull and he didn't say a word.

The same is true for Zhao Chanyi.

Liu Ping took a few steps back and looked at the two of them steadily.

Not under attack.

Not obsessed.

They somehow turned into puppets...

Liu Ping only felt that the scene in front of him was unheard of, and there was a penetrating weirdness.

Suddenly, a voice came from afar:
"It was unexpected to encounter such a rare situation."

Looking back, Liu Ping saw a petite figure appearing in the wind and sand.

The figure leaped lightly a few times, and came in front of the three of them.

But it was a little girl.

She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, long hair shawl, and many shiny accessories on her body.

The girl opened a pair of crimson pupils, her eyes were strange and agile, like two crystal clear gems, she looked at the corpse of the wolf demon on the ground with interest.

"Who is your Excellency?" Liu Ping asked, cupping his hands.

"Answer me a question first. This is obviously just an ordinary demon wolf with fangs. Why has the poison on its body changed by leaps and bounds?" the little girl asked.

"I have a poison pill, which is extremely expensive and hard to find. After eating it, it was poisoned and died." Liu Ping said.

"I see. Can you give me your prey? Anyway, you don't need this prey." The little girl raised her head and asked him.

"Go ahead and take it—but why can't I use it?" Liu Ping said.

Seeing that he was willing to give up his prey, the little girl showed a slight smile and said softly: "Smart man, do you want to know something?"

Liu Ping nodded.

The little girl came up—

Suddenly, an afterimage flashed from her body and pierced the corpse of the wolf demon.

The corpse of the wolf demon disappeared immediately.

"It tastes good... It really is this kind of highly poisonous spirit meat that can arouse the carnival of taste buds..."

She cheered lowly.

Liu Ping took a few steps back silently, holding the spiritual fan in his hand.

What happened just now?

I didn't see it clearly at all!
——That kind of speed has already surpassed the upper limit of his own reaction.

"...It shouldn't be a human race."

Liu Ping thought to himself.

With years of experience in dealing with monsters, he silently made a judgment.

The little girl took out a pure white handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, before she said, "I am very satisfied with the prey, to express my gratitude—by the way, aren't you worried about your companion?"

She walked towards Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyi.

The two of them still stood there blankly, without saying a word, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.

"What happened to them?" Liu Ping couldn't help asking.

The little girl said: "Someone has set some restrictions in their souls, and they are not allowed to take other people's souls and bodies, so when they see you fighting for souls with those guys, they immediately fall into confusion and cannot react."

"In other words, they are just being controlled, playing their roles in one world deduction after another."

"—like a play."
