Reborn as a Giant Scorpion: Evolution by Consumption

Li He stood for a while in the night breeze, and finally said, "Let's go."

Nie Xiaoqian asked: "Master, where are we going?"

Li He hesitated for a while, and said: "I don't know where I am going, so let's count where I go."

At this moment, Li He felt a little dazed.

Originally, Li He thought that the strongest in the plane of "A Chinese Ghost Story" would be the old black mountain monster. He could become the conqueror of the plane of "A Chinese Ghost Story" as long as he defeated the old black mountain monster.

But now, he has swallowed the Thousand-Year Tree Demon and the Old Black Mountain Demon, but he has not won the title of Conqueror of the plane of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Since Li He had not won the title of Conqueror, it showed that there was a stronger presence in this face than the Old Demon Black Mountain.

Only when Li He defeated or swallowed the stronger existence, could Li He gain the title of conqueror of this plane.

"Xiao Qian, do you know that besides the old demon of Black Mountain, there are other strong men in this world?" Li He asked Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian thought for a while, and said, "I heard the Thousand-Year Tree Demon once before. She said that the guardian mage of the dynasty was very strong, and she was very worried that the guardian mage would come to Lanruo Temple to destroy demons and demons!"

Li He asked: "Master Protector? What's his name?"

Nie Xiaoqian said: "It's a monk, what's the name of the law? What is it like'Pudu'?"

Li He's heart moved: "Purdue Cihang?"

Nie Xiaoqian nodded again and again: "It's Purdue Cihang! Son, have you heard of this Purdue Cihang National Master?"

Li He said: "Xiao Qian, let's go to Yancheng next!"

In the prison in Guonan County, Ning Caichen is lying on the damp straw.

Suddenly, a jailer brought a large bowl of rice and a roast chicken, and came to Ning Caichen's cell and shouted: "Zhou Yabing, Zhou Yabing!"

Ning Caichen woke up abruptly, and quickly got up and said, "Master, I don't know what to order!"

The jailer brought the rice and roast chicken to the door and said, "Zhou Yabing, this is specially prepared for you!"

After speaking, the jailer turned and left.

Ning Caichen looked flattered and couldn't wait to grab the roast chicken and took a bite.

On the opposite wall, a gray-haired prisoner looked at Ning Caichen with a look of sympathy in his eyes.

The gray-haired prisoner was named Zhuge Wolong, a well-known literati.

However, this Zhuge Wolong is also a fleeting disadvantage. He wrote a biography for a court official, and the official fell. He was also regarded as a high official's remnant party and was arrested in a cell.

Ning Caichen tore off a chicken leg and sent it to Zhuge Wolong, saying: "Mr. Zhuge, I don't know what great luck I have taken today. I actually got a roast chicken. Try it too!"

Zhuge Wolong shook his head quickly and said, "I dare not eat this chicken!"

Ning Caichen wondered: "Mr. Zhuge, I saw you even dared to eat cockroaches raw a few days ago. Why don't you dare to eat this roast chicken now?"

Zhuge Wolong said: "I would rather eat cockroaches than eat your roast chicken!"

Ning Caichen felt something was wrong and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, is there any way in this?"

Zhuge Wolong sighed and said, "You will eat this chicken first, and I will explain it to you!"

Although Ning Caichen was full of doubts, he was really hungry for the past two days and didn't care about other things. After a while, he gobbled up a roast chicken!

"Mr. Zhuge, can you talk now? Why do you rather eat cockroaches than roast chicken?" Ning Caichen asked.

Zhuge Wolong looked at Ning Caichen, and slowly said, "Zhou Yabing, the chicken you ate has a name, it's called'decapitated chicken'!"

Ning Caichen said: "Mr. Zhuge, my name is not Zhou Yabing, my name is Ning Caichen! The bounty hunter caught the wrong person and took me in as Zhou Yabing!"

Zhuge Wolong waved his hand: "It doesn't matter anymore! In this age when right and wrong and black and white are reversed, this kind of thing is too common!"

Ning Caichen asked: "Mr. Zhuge, you said that the roast chicken I ate just now was called'decapitated chicken', why is it called'decapitated chicken'? I think the head of the roasted chicken is good, and it is not broken. Drop it!"

Zhuge Wolong looked at Ning Caichen, and said: "The reason why that chicken is called a'decapitated chicken' is not the head of the chicken, but the head of a person!"

"A person's head?" Ning Caichen questioned, "Which person's head should be broken?"

Zhuge Wolong said: "Don't you understand? This chicken is for death row prisoners. Whoever eats it means that he will be beheaded soon! Therefore, this chicken is called a beheaded chicken!"

"Ah!" Ning Caichen was taken aback, "Mr. Zhuge, don't you tell me that I am going to be beheaded. This roast chicken is my last meal?"

Zhuge Wolong nodded.

Ning Caichen burst into tears suddenly!

Zhuge Wolong looked at Ning Caichen and said, "Boy, are you afraid of death?"

Ning Caichen nodded and said, "Of course I am afraid of death. Who is not afraid of death?"

Zhuge Wolong said: "Then do you want to continue to live?"

Ning Caichen said: "The ants are still alive, of course I want to continue to live! Mr. Zhuge, do you have a way to clean up my grievances?"

Zhuge Wolong shook his head: "I can't clear the grievances from myself, how can I clear the grievances for you?"

Ning Caichen lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Then you still ask me if I want to live? I just want to live, what can you do for me?"

Zhuge Wolong said: "I can't help you, I just know a tunnel that leads to the outside of the cell!"

Hearing this, Ning Caichen's first feeling was that he didn't believe it: "Mr. Zhuge, don't entertain me! If there is such a tunnel, you can still be kept in a cell for so many years?"
