Chapter 112: Inverted Deity Statue (1/2)

The sun rose and the temperature gradually rose. Even with the shade of the trees, the air still became hot.

However, although it was only morning today, the temperature had already become higher than the usual noon.

A Scaled Demon that was sleeping in a wooden nest could not stand it anymore. It crawled out of the nest and planned to go outside to take a breather or swim in the water to replenish its body's moisture.

Hiss, hiss, hiss! (So fragrant!)

Hiss! Hiss! (Eh? What are you doing here?)

The Scaled Demon's body was slightly hunched and its muscles were weak. The human girl-like appearance was no longer attractive. It was clearly very old.

After emerging from the nest, it saw an old Scaled Demon standing motionless in front of it.

Furthermore, there was a burnt smell on its body.

Following the smell, it noticed that a crimson sword was extending from the chest of the Scaled Demon in front of it.

This old Scaled Demon was not standing in front of it, but rather hanging on the sword!

Hiss.

It tried to hiss an alarm, but the sword cut through its throat.

Sizzle!

The terrifying sound of burning iron touching flesh sounded in its body. Thick smoke instantly poured out of its windpipe and filled its nose.

So fragrant!

This was the Scaled Demon's final thought.

Jiang Li's clone was at the Foundation Establishment realm. How could he fail when dealing with a group of Scaled Demons who were only slightly stronger than wild beasts?

He stood on the tree branch and did not move. He only formed hand seals and controlled the flying sword to move around the Scaled Demon Tribe, easily killing all the creatures inside.

In the end, they died completely. This group of Scaled Demons who were acting as sacrifices on the water did not even have the chance to scream. Not even a drop of blood flowed out.

Next, his target was the group inside the water.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and still did not rely on his flying sword to attack forcefully.

He took out a dozen unidentifiable talismans that could be bought from any place. This was a small help that his main body could give him without exposing himself.

He first used the talisman paper to seal the other underwater caves, then he flew into the water and swam into the last cave.

This cave was just like what Jiang Li had detected with his hearing earlier. It was cleverly dug out into a U-shaped design. The outer part of the cave was completely covered in water, but inside, it formed a dry pipe space.

His clone did not have the ability to breathe underwater. Furthermore, under the water, not only was the power of the fire flying sword greatly reduced, forcefully activating it might even cause damage. This situation was just right.

Behind him, after using the talisman paper to form a simple Five Elements Formation to seal the exit, Jiang Li entered through the passageway.

The tunnel dug by the Scaled Demons was not wide. Ordinary people had to bend down or crawl forward.

However, his clone did not have to do this. Jiang Li controlled him to lie on the flying sword and let the flying sword carry him forward. This way, he did not have to dirty his clothes and his movements were even faster.

The deeper he went, the stronger the stench became.

Although this Scaled Demon Tunnel did not extend in all directions, it was still rather complicated. Jiang Li was not a reincarnated groundhog, so he was a little clueless about this three-dimensional maze.

He tried to follow using the smell, but all that did was torture his nose.

However, hard work would always yield results. Under Jiang Li's repeated trial and error, he crawled deeper and deeper into the cave using the flying sword.

Soon, after passing through another corner, dense hissing sounds resounded in the passage.

Jiang Li was invigorated. He was not good at sniffing things, but spy… hearing was his forte.

Following the direction of the voice, he did not take any more detours. The passageway also became wider and wider.

Finally, the hissing sound became louder and louder. At the end of the passage, Jiang Li saw a space that suddenly expanded with a flash of light.
