Chapter 244 Clues interrupted
The three of them traveled quickly, and the scenery around them became increasingly strange, with patches of flowers emitting a faint light appearing on the ground from time to time.
Having learned from past mistakes, Kongming did not provoke it. Although this flower is not strong in single-target attacks, once a certain number are gathered, it may unleash some unpredictable dangers.
"Brother! We can't just keep wandering around like this. We need to get down to business, or all the treasures will be snatched up by others!"
Pigsy plopped down on the ground, panting and complaining.
"Strange, I clearly sensed that the secret to unlocking the gilded cauldron was within this secret realm, so why haven't I found any clues since entering?"
Kongming ignored Zhu Ganglie, but instead frowned and fell into deep thought.
"What cauldron or not? In my opinion, let's get our hands on the treasure first!" Pigsy continued to ramble on.
"Ganglie, the Prime Minister has his own arrangements, don't cause trouble," Zhao Yun advised, looking at Kongming with eyes full of trust.
Kongming took a deep breath and was about to speak when suddenly, the ground shook violently. Not far away, the ground slowly cracked open, and a Rakshasa slowly rose up, scrutinizing the three people in front of him with its dark eyes.
"Ganglie, weren't you always saying you wanted to get some treasure? Here, this third-tier Rakshasa is yours!"
Kongming smiled slightly, speaking with a hint of teasing.
"Hey... I, Old Pig, am here to collect treasures. I can't handle a third-tier Rakshasa!"
Zhu Ganglie stared wide-eyed at the enormous third-tier Rakshasa before him, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"The treasure is inside Rakshasa's body. What? Don't you want the treasure anymore?" Kongming continued to tease.
"Hmph! You wicked man think you can make me, Old Pig, do the work so you can benefit yourself? I'm not that stupid!"
Zhu Bajie flicked his sleeves, looking completely unfazed. In short, he wasn't going to fight the Rakshasa!
The previous third-tier Rakshasa held its own against several aristocratic scions before finally being killed; he wouldn't take that risk.
Kongming couldn't help but chuckle, "Fine! Let me show you my strength, so you won't be so disrespectful and noisy all the time..."
Having said that, Kongming stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
The third-tier Rakshasa seemed enraged by that gaze, roared, and pounced on Kongming like a black lightning bolt, its claws carrying a sharp gust of wind, aiming straight for Kongming's throat.
Kongming stood still, and just as the Rakshasa's claws were about to touch his throat, he gently raised his right hand, and an earth-yellow bead burst forth instantly.
With two crisp "crack" sounds, the Rakshasa's claws were snapped off like fragile tree branches, and black blood splattered out.
The Rakshasa let out a painful howl, its massive body staggering backward. Before it could regain its footing, Kongming flashed and appeared above the Rakshasa's head like a ghost.
With a gentle downward wave of his hand, a streak of spiritual energy, like a giant blade, slashed down instantly.
Rakshasa didn't even have a chance to dodge before the spiritual energy bolt struck down straight down from above, splitting her massive body in two.
The two halves of the Rakshasa's body crashed to the ground, and a faintly glowing crystal was visible inside its skull.
Kongming slowly floated down, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the head of the Rakshasa floated into his hand.
He examined it closely and indeed found a fragment the size of a fingernail, emitting a faint light, between the eyebrows of the Rakshasa's head; it was a fragment of law.
Upon receiving the treasure, Zhu Bajie rubbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, looking as if he was intimidated by Kongming's strength.
"Give it to me! You..."
Suddenly, this guy rushed forward and snatched the fragment of law from Kongming's hand.
"Hehe... You think you can intimidate me, Old Pig? Dream on! I'll keep this treasure safe for now. I wonder if this thing is edible..." Pigsy muttered smugly, clutching the fragment tightly in his hand.
