Master, what are you talking about? The little demon asked doubtfully.
Come here, let me check your body. Zhan Chen said
oh.
So the little demon walked nervously to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen put his hands on its body and explored it carefully with his spiritual consciousness.
After entering into a master-servant contract with the little demon, he can look inside the spirit beast's body, which is similar to exploring his own body.
However, he searched carefully two or three times, but did not find anything suspicious. He couldn't help but cursed: This is really strange. The sixth-level elixir contains extremely powerful medicinal power, but when it entered the belly of this little mink, it was...
It seems to have disappeared.
The search was fruitless, so he had to withdraw his consciousness and stare at the little demon tightly until he saw the latter panicking.
Little demon, you'd better do it quickly. Where did the Huayang grass you swallowed go?
I also don’t understand that after swallowing it, it will disappear automatically. Maybe it has already reached my stomach and been digested by me, hehe.
Please be serious and remember carefully. Did you feel any discomfort after swallowing the spiritual grass?
No, I'm very fine. The only discomfort is that I still feel hungry. It would be better if I could have a few more.
After Zhan Chen heard this, he couldn't help but have black lines on his forehead. There were a few more here. He didn't even understand how many yuan stones the elixir he swallowed was worth.
He had begun to regret it. He tamed a spirit beast on a whim, but he was so unlucky that he not only spent a lot of yuan stones, but also fed it elixirs. He couldn't help but cursed: "A few more, you know this?"
How much is the medicine worth?
Oh, that's a big deal. From now on, the little demon will just be obedient. Just one stick a day is enough. I'm not greedy.
One pill a day would make Zhan Chen jump in anger.
No?
Humph, I don’t have the money to support you in taking six-grade elixir every day.
He paused and then said: However, if you behave well, there will still be third- and fourth-grade elixirs.
At this time, Zhan Chen was still wealthy after all, and he had a vague expectation in his heart. What would happen if he fed the little demon spiritual medicine for a long time?
The little demon is so strange. It must be more than just an ordinary first-order spirit beast. Maybe if I can train it well, it will be a big help to me in the future. Zhan Chen thought silently.
While Zhan Chen was worried about the little demon, on the other side of Chihong Village, Pang She and Lin Qiu were also playing chess.
But Lin Qiu seemed absent-minded. Seeing that Zhan Chen came back safe and sound, he couldn't help but mention to Pang She what Pang Xie had told him: Sir, you seem to have let Zhan Chen come back alive again.
Why are you anxious? Pang She asked.
Yes, I dare not remember what Master Pang Xie told me.
Pang Xie lowered his face and said: When it comes to revenge, I am more eager than you. After all, Zhan Chen also humiliated me, but this boy has the care of the Holy Lady. Once something happens to him, I will be taken care of by her.
To vent your anger.
Then, sir, what do you think we should do?
Pang She sneered, looked at the chessboard and said: Don't be anxious, this chess must be played step by step, I'm waiting for an opportunity.
At what time Lin Qiu asked curiously.
Pang Snake dropped a piece at this time and said: Let me tell you the truth, the opportunity will be next month.
What can happen next month?
Haha, Lin Qiu, you don’t understand what’s going on with the Chihong Mine. Something big will happen in this mountain range on March 15th every year, which is the 15th day of next month.
oh
That night was when the moon was full. For some reason, the monsters in the Chihong Mountains would be in commotion. A large number of monsters would break into our mining area. Isn't it normal for some accidents to happen?
However, if this is the case, everyone will avoid it. How should we do it? Lin Qiu couldn't help but wonder.
Pang Snake replied: In the past, everyone hid in the mines. In this way, they were generally not attacked by monsters. But don’t worry, I have arranged for reliable people to lead Zhan Chen out.
When the time comes, I will personally take action and must kill him.
You have to take action yourself, Lin Qiu said in surprise.
Yes, he is a close accomplice of the Saint, so we cannot let him go. We have all targeted him. Once he gains power in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not come back to trouble us.
Lin Qiu praised: Mr. Da Da, you are really far-sighted.
However, thousands of miles away, something big happened that no one could have expected.
There is a majestic and towering peak in the center of the Chihong Mountains. The place is densely planted with spiritual trees and full of spiritual flowers. It is like a fairyland. However, this is a place that is difficult for humans to enter and is the center of the demon clan's rule.
There is a huge cave at the foot of the mountain, with three big blood-red characters "Honghuang Cave" written on the cave. It can be called the base camp of monsters, and many powerful monsters live here.
And their master, Venerable Honghuang, was transformed into a ninth-level great monster, the Great Wilderness Python. His strength was equivalent to that of a powerful person who had entered the Taoist Peeping Yuan Realm, and he was also the top being in the entire Beihai Continent.
At this time, this big demon has just returned from a trip. On the surface, it looks the same as a human. It is still wearing clothes and can walk normally like a human. It is just that the skin is covered with scales and the pair of terrifying snake-like eyes.
His eyes still revealed his true identity.
He entered the cave with great interest, but what he saw was a panic scene in the cave. He couldn't help but ask his subordinates of several seventh- and eighth-level monsters: Why are you so flustered?
All the monsters were silent and did not dare to answer his words. Finally, an eighth-level monster in the team stood up and said: Your Majesty, something bad has happened.
what happened
We lost the cloud-colored marten you brought back.
What did you say? How did you lose it? When Venerable Honghuang heard what he said, he became furious.
Your Majesty, that little monster is so inconspicuous. It looks like just a first-order monster, so we relaxed our vigilance. Unexpectedly, this little guy is very clever. He pretended to be sick and deceived us. He ran away after finding one.
.
You must find it for me. You know, my hope of becoming a fairy beast lies entirely on this little thing. I only encountered it by chance when I was traveling in the outside world.
King, don't worry, my subordinates have already issued the order and sent all the monsters to search for it together. I believe it will be a matter of time to find it.
Yes, you all know my temper. If I can't find the marten, I will dig out all your demon pills and eat them. Do you understand?
The king spared his life and the monsters were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
The eighth-level monster said again: Your Majesty, there is just one thing. According to the news sent by our subordinates, the marten seems to have escaped towards the northeast.
Isn’t that the human race’s boundary in the northeast?
Yes, Master, what should we do? Should we break through?
Venerable Honghuang also woke up from his anger. He knew that it was too late to vent his anger, so he paced back and forth on the spot. After a long while, he said: It's a pity that I had an agreement with Yin Xuehai, the leader of the Human Moluo Sect.
, but it’s not easy to take action.
What should I do?
You don't have to be afraid, you can go ahead and do it. This is just an agreement between me and Yin Xuehai. I estimate that the little mink is only at the first level now. It can't escape far or get out of this mountain range. It's just a matter of finding it.
Just a little more effort.
Your Majesty, I understand. I will do it now.
Don't do it piecemeal, go and gather all the monsters immediately. On the fifteenth day of this month, the day of the full moon, is when we launch a general attack on the human territory. When the time comes, we will turn this mountain range upside down, and we must also find that little mink.
Do you understand?
yes
The demons dispersed in a hurry to convey their king's orders.
Time flew by quickly, and it was Zhan Chen's turn to be on duty again. This was his third time serving as the steward of Mine No. 18.
But while walking on the road, he somehow felt that something big was going to happen this time.
Because when he arrived at the meeting hall this morning, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. Everyone seemed nervous and were whispering about some beast tide.
He didn't inquire carefully at that time, but now it seems that he made a mistake, so he looked at Song Yang, another deacon who went to the mine with him, and asked: Deacon Song, can I ask you a question?
Song Yang glanced at Zhan Chen, a bright light flashed in his eyes, but he showed a friendly smile and said: Deacon Zhan, as you said, you and I should work together and help each other.
Thank you very much. When I was in the meeting hall just now, I heard everyone talking about the beast tide. What is going on?
Deacon Zhan, you just came here, so it’s normal that you don’t understand this. The monsters in the Chihong Mountains will come out in full force every full moon to cause trouble everywhere. This happens several times a year, so we will
It's called a beast tide, and unfortunately it happened on the 15th of this month.
Wouldn't that be dangerous?
Danger Haha, that's only compared to ordinary martial artists. We are still on the outskirts of the Chihong Mountains. At most, there will be one or two fourth-level elementary or intermediate monsters. In most cases, we will encounter third-level monsters.
The following monsters are not very dangerous.
So that's it. Zhan Chen thought to himself, but then he remembered that he met the Swift Wolf last time, and that was not a character that an ordinary warrior could deal with easily.
Oh, by the way, when the beast tide comes, you and I must guard outside the mine and not let the monsters break into the tunnel.
I understand, let’s talk about it then.
The two came to the mine and performed their duties as deacons as usual. On the 15th, they stopped work early, gathered all the miners into the tunnel, and guarded the entrance of the mine.
Night gradually fell, and the moon also climbed up the mountain. The moon tonight looked particularly bright and bright, but the two of them had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, and stared anxiously at the dark jungle ahead.
