66: Within three days

“I can’t give it to you yet!” To his surprise, the Carp Demon shook his head and flatly refused.

“I’ve already brought you the map as agreed. What do you mean by not releasing my brother?” Wei Xun was instantly enraged.

“Your brother is very safe inside!” The Carp Demon said, “I won’t give him to you after the matter is settled!”

“What do you mean, after the matter is settled?!” Wei Xun was somewhat angry. “You want to attack Black Tiger Mountain. Who knows what the outcome will be? What if you get killed by that Tiger King? Where would I go to find my brother?”

Faced with Wei Xun’s persistent questioning, the Carp Demon appeared very calm. “I will give this conch to Abao, the toad you saved before. He is in Bi Shui Lake!”

After the Carp Demon finished speaking, he put the conch back into his embrace and continued, “After I attack Black Tiger Mountain, whether I succeed or not, you can go to Bi Shui Lake to find Abao and take this conch.”

After hearing what the Carp Demon said, Wei Xun’s anger subsided by half, but he continued to ask, “Just give me a definite answer, when will you attack? I don’t want to keep waiting here!”

“You want to escape?” The Carp Demon narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

“That’s none of your business!” Wei Xun did not answer directly but threw the topographic map in his hand into the Carp Demon’s hand.

The Carp Demon opened the map, quickly scanned its contents, and then put it into his embrace.

“I will find a time to act within three days. I must warn you, be careful to hide well then, or if you are accidentally injured, it will have nothing to do with me!” The Carp Demon finished speaking and turned to leave.

“Then I’ll also warn you, this thing might not be waterproof. If you get it wet and it gets ruined, that also has nothing to do with me!” Wei Xun saw the Carp Demon about to leave, so he immediately emphasized.

“Don’t worry!” The Carp Demon looked back and smiled, “We water demons are born with the Fan Jiang Technique!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Carp Demon leaped directly from the cliff top, and with a splash, fell into the river below and disappeared.

Wei Xun used his Acute Hearing to listen to the surrounding movements, and after ensuring there were no other monsters nearby, he quietly returned to his Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave, there was a pottery jar filled with water, and a small fish swam in the water.

This fish was the one that had eaten the Spiritual Plant before, but although this fish looked alive, it was somewhat abnormal.

Before, he was a bit sluggish, but after just one day, he had become unusually lively.

He kept swimming in the water tank without any sign of stopping, as if he had endless energy.

Although he didn't understand why this was happening, Wei Xun was certain it had something to do with Fox Elder’s Spiritual Plant.

“Old fox, what exactly do you want to do?!” Wei Xun pinched his chin, always feeling that the old fox had ill intentions.

Wei Xun didn't sleep the entire night.

On one hand, his mind was thinking about how the Carp Demon would attack Black Tiger Mountain, and on the other hand, he needed to be wary of what the old fox was plotting.

Being a monster is truly difficult!

Wei Xun complained inwardly. Just as he felt a hint of sleepiness, he noticed that the sky outside was already somewhat bright.

So Wei Xun had no choice but to drag his tired body out of the Immortal Cave, adjust his breathing, and then head towards Fox Elder’s Immortal Cave again.

Although he was Fox Elder’s personal guard, Wei Xun hadn't actually done anything these past few days.

Aside from testing the Medicinal Pill, he spent his usual time at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, finding a place to Cultivate or rest.

Rather than saying he was Fox Elder’s personal guard, it was more accurate to say he was Fox Elder’s bodyguard, guarding his gate.

Upon arriving at the Immortal Cave entrance, sure enough, the two monsters had already arrived.

However, for an unprecedented change, Fox Elder came out this time holding a few more Medicinal Pills.

Seeing this scene, the Chicken Demon and the leopard demon were both a little surprised.

Because according to them, Fox Elder usually only refined Medicinal Pills every few days.

But unexpectedly, this time Fox Elder had refined Medicinal Pills for two consecutive days.

This was quite rare!

“All of you, come here!” Fox Elder called Wei Xun and the other two to him, then gave each of them a Medicinal Pill from his hand.

Wei Xun carefully observed the Medicinal Pill in his hand; it was clearly different from yesterday’s qi enhancing pill.

“This is a Spirit Pill!” After giving the Medicinal Pills, Fox Elder began to explain, “Taking this Medicinal Pill can temporarily increase the speed at which the monster core in your body absorbs Spiritual Qi, thus improving your Cultivation speed!”

After listening to Fox Elder’s introduction, Wei Xun closed his eyes again and searched in the Da Kou Space. Sure enough, there was also a very similar Medicinal Pill among the pile of Medicinal Pills.

The smell and color were very similar, so it must also be a Spirit Pill.

Furthermore, the effect of this Medicinal Pill is to temporarily increase Cultivation speed. If he wasn't mistaken, the normal time to use this Medicinal Pill would be just before a Breakthrough.

Only then could it exert its maximum effect.

Because each Breakthrough requires a large amount of Spiritual Qi to be gathered in a short time to break through the shackles to the next Realm.

“Hei Mao!” At this moment, Fox Elder called out to the leopard demon, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be close to Breaking through to the Body Forging Third Layer!”

“Yes!” The leopard demon nodded.

“Then you can find a time to take this Medicinal Pill; it can help you Breakthrough as quickly as possible!” Fox Elder finished speaking and stroked his beard.

“Thank you for your grace, Fox Elder!” The leopard demon immediately clasped his fists.

“Alright! Come again at this time tomorrow; I have other Medicinal Pills for you!” Fox Elder finished speaking and turned to return to his Immortal Cave, but then he turned back and added, “Watch the entrance for me. No one is allowed to disturb me.”

“Yes, sir!” Seeing this, Wei Xun had no choice but to clasp his fists and obey, just like the Chicken Demon and the leopard demon.

After Fox Elder returned to his Immortal Cave, the leopard demon laughed heartily, holding the Medicinal Pill in his hand with great affection.

“Fox Elder is really good to us!” The leopard demon looked somewhat excited. “He knew I was about to Breakthrough and even specially refined such a Medicinal Pill to help me!”

“Congratulations, Brother Hei, congratulations, Brother Hei!” The Chicken Demon congratulated from the side, “Once Brother Hei breaks through to the Body Forging Third Layer, you must impart your experience to your little brother!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” The leopard demon was grinning from ear to ear, as if he had almost fully recovered from yesterday’s injuries in just one day.

Wei Xun, however, put this Medicinal Pill into the Da Kou Space and did not take it.

Instead, he walked to a rock and sat down, lost in thought.

When would that Carp Demon attack?

Wei Xun pondered in his mind. If they were truly going to launch an attack on Black Tiger Mountain, it would be best to do it at night.

However, Wei Xun then thought that a night ambush was not a good idea either.

Because during the day, many teams from Black Tiger Mountain go out hunting, and at that time, the number of monsters in the mountain would be reduced by about thirty.

Whereas at night, Black Tiger Mountain was almost at full strength.

And after these monsters transform, they will more or less retain their original characteristics.

This meant that most monsters had excellent night vision, but water demons did not seem to have this characteristic.
