The Legend of the Netherworld

Chapter 114 Deception

Lin Xiao still aimed to find water and quickly moved through the dense forest.

The trees are towering, blocking out the sun. The sunlight shines through the dense canopy, casting mottled shadows, as if covering this gloomy land with a mysterious veil.

Suddenly, a pair of divine chickens with sky wings appeared on the branches in the distance. Their golden feathers sparkled in the sunlight, like two little suns, dazzling and eye-catching.

Lin Xiao's heart trembled, realizing that the opportunity had come. He immediately stopped, bent his knees slightly, and tried not to make any noise.

His heart beat faster, a flash of excitement and nervousness passed through his mind, and he gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to strike at any moment.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao waved his hand, and the long sword flew out like an arrow. The tip of the sword stopped in front of the necks of the two Sky-Winged Divine Chickens, emitting a cold light that was creepy.

The Sky Winged Divine Chicken suddenly panicked, its four eyes widened at the same time, and the fear on its face was obvious.

Lin Xiao felt proud, knowing that he had taken the absolute initiative.

"Dragon Movement!" He lifted his foot and instantly leaped to the branch where the two chicken demons were, thinking to himself, "This hunt will definitely not disappoint him."

A closer look revealed that these two monsters were not much different from ordinary pheasants. The only difference was their long feathers and the aura of a spiritual enlightenment realm they exuded.

When the two chicken demons saw that the person coming was actually a cultivator at the ninth level of the Jiazi realm, they felt an urge to resist, but fear quickly took over.

At this moment, a chicken demon flapped its wings hurriedly, preparing to fight back.

Lin Xiao sneered and waved his hand. The sword blade that was floating in front of them suddenly approached. The sharp blade cut through the skin on the surface, and blood oozed out instantly. The warm blood dripped onto the leaves, which was particularly dazzling.

Feeling the pain, the chicken demon immediately stopped moving, turned to Lin Xiao with horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Young man, we can talk it over. There is no need to use force." Their voices trembled, and they had obviously realized the danger they were facing.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He said with a smile: "I don't like giving people second chances. Understand?"

"I understand! I understand!" The chicken demon agreed repeatedly, with deep fear in his eyes.

Seeing their sincere attitude, Lin Xiao slowly moved the sword away, but he remained alert in his heart, knowing full well the possibility that the pair of chicken demons would desperately resist in desperation.

"I have something to ask you two. Answer truthfully. I will let you go when I am happy." Lin Xiao's voice was low and powerful, full of majesty, as if it could not be questioned.

The chicken demon seemed to see hope of survival, and his eyes became sincere, "We must tell each other everything we know." They nodded repeatedly, fearing that they could anger this powerful monk, but secretly hoping to escape.

"Who knows the most secrets in the entire forest?" Lin Xiao asked, thinking to himself, since it is not wise to ask directly about the word "Netherworld", then he will ask them who is the know-it-all in the forest.

The chicken demon thought for a moment, his eyes flashing, and finally spoke: "If the young man is referring to the middle layer of the ancient forest, then it must be the two demon kings, Cuilin Flower Demon and Ancient Tree Spirit Master." After saying that, a hint of pride flashed in their eyes.

Lin Xiao listened quietly, thinking to himself that these two demon kings were indeed notorious and difficult characters.

However, the chicken demon continued, "If you feel they are not easy to deal with, there is someone who can help you resolve your doubts."

"Who?" Lin Xiao's tone suddenly turned cold, the blade in his hand slightly approaching the chicken demon's neck, a trace of impatience on his face. He usually hated people keeping things in suspense, and now he didn't want to waste time.

The chicken demon was frightened to the point of paleness, his lips trembling slightly as he spoke tremblingly, "That demon is the 'Haotian Tianniu'. This demon knows as many secrets as the two demon kings."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lin Xiao felt a little curious and asked, "Since there are monsters that know more than the Monster King, doesn't this mean they are against Tiangang?" There was a hint of provocation in his voice, and he seemed to be very interested in the story of this monster.

"Young man, you don't know that 'Haotian Tianniu' originally lived in the core layer of the ancient forest. For some unknown reason, it came to the middle layer and has been staying there for more than fifty years." The chicken demon explained with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Lin Xiao nodded, thinking to himself that perhaps this would be the key clue to the "Netherworld".

"Thank you for the information." Lin Xiao smiled coldly, but secretly thought in his heart that perhaps these monsters were vulnerable in front of him, but the information they possessed was the key to his survival in this forest.

At this moment, he decided not to show mercy to the pair of chicken demons. He turned around and was about to leave. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he disappeared among the shadows of the trees with an elusive mysterious aura.

Lin Xiao's face was filled with joy, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. He couldn't wait to ask, "Where can I find the 'Haotian Tianniu' you mentioned?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's expression relax, the chicken demon breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Haotian Tianniu is in the Ginkgo Sea in the east. Young man, go east and you will find it when you see the ginkgo forest." There was urgency in his tone, as if he hoped Lin Xiao could leave as soon as possible.

Lin Xiao nodded, thinking about the information in his heart, "Okay, not bad." He didn't want to show too much emotion, but in his heart he was secretly glad that he didn't make a radical decision.

"But, young man, don't be impulsive," the chicken demon added hastily, a hint of worry in his tone, "That 'Haotian Tianniu' has the strength of the ninth level of transformation. If you go there rashly, the consequences may be disastrous."

Lin Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this, thinking to himself that the warnings of the two monsters might not be unreasonable. With a wave of his hand, the long sword immediately dissipated into the air, and he regained his composure. "You two, go now. I am satisfied with your answers."

"Take care, young man." As soon as the words fell, the two Sky-Winged Divine Chickens looked at each other with complicated expressions in their eyes, then flapped their wings, quickly left the branches, and flew towards the west.

Lin Xiao watched them go away and murmured softly, "You two are so lucky. If it weren't for those last two sentences, I would have eaten roast chicken today."

As these words fell, Lin Xiao jumped off the tree and quickly headed towards the ginkgo sea in the east that they mentioned.

In the distance, two Sky-Winged Divine Chickens flew desperately farther away until they had exhausted all their strength, and then they stopped on a high branch, panting.

The wife's chicken demon panted as she asked, "Husband, why did you tell that monk the information about the Haotian Tianniu in Ginkgo Sea, but told him the opposite direction?"
