77: At most, I was threatened!

"What?" The Tiger King was startled and turned his head, only to see Poison Claw.

At this moment, Poison Claw smirked, a triumphant look on his face: "Tiger King, why are you so careless? How could you be injured by that Black Dragon?"

"You… poisoned…" The Tiger King tried to grab the great saber stuck in the ground, but he felt his whole body numb, his Meridians blocked, and his hands were no longer under his control.

"What are you saying, Tiger King!" Poison Claw chuckled, "I, Poison Claw, am a spider demon. It's perfectly normal to have some poison!"

"Why… you…" The Tiger King stood up, wanting to fight back.

But with his heart pierced, the Tiger King had only one breath left and was unable to resist. Then his legs went soft, and he fell to the ground.

"Oh, Tiger King!" Poison Claw placed one foot on the stone where the Tiger King had just been sitting, looking indifferently at the Tiger King twitching on the ground.

"How could this be…" The Tiger King's eyes were unfocused at this moment, and he was still muttering something.

"This King's position should have been mine long ago!" Poison Claw took a satisfied breath of air: "What could you accomplish following a brute like you?"

When the demon soldiers who had chased out from Black Tiger Mountain returned, the bodies of the Tiger King and Vulture General had already been placed together by Poison Claw.

"The King was killed by the Black Dragon of Jiaolong Lake, and the mountain cannot be without a King for a single day!" Poison Claw stood on the highest stone and declared to all the demon soldiers: "From this day forward, I, Poison Claw, will be the new Demon King of Black Tiger Mountain, and Black Tiger Mountain will be renamed Black Wind Mountain!"

Wei Xun carried the Carp Demon and used the River Blending Art to follow the water demons, quickly traversing through the water along an underground river.

After an unknown amount of time, he emerged from the underground river.

He then arrived at Bi Shui Lake, over ninety li to the West of Black Tiger Mountain.

He gently laid the dying Carp Demon on a stone, and his water demon subordinates gathered around him.

"Is Brother Red Armor dead?"

"Don't say unlucky things, Brother Red Armor still has one breath!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Bring out the water spirit stone!"

The water demons discussed animatedly, and finally, one water demon took out a white water spirit stone and placed it on the Carp Demon's chest.

At this moment, Wei Xun opened his Spirit Seeking Eyes to observe the changes in the light spots on the Carp Demon's body.

After the previous great battle, the Spiritual Qi light spots on the Carp Demon's body were almost completely depleted, but with the replenishment from the water spirit stone, those light spots slowly began to spread through the Carp Demon's Meridians, refilling his entire body.

The Carp Demon's complexion also slowly improved, but a complete recovery would not be so quick.

"You're called Afu, right!" At this moment, Wei Xun saw the toad monster he had seen earlier, so he immediately went up to ask.

"Yes!" The toad monster nodded.

"Where's your cousin Abao?" Wei Xun was very worried about Xiong Er now, so he quickly asked.

"I'll call him over!" Afu nodded and then turned to swim towards a stone house not far away.

After a moment, two almost identical-looking toad monsters swam towards Wei Xun.

"Benefactor, are you looking for me, ribbit?" The toad monster named Abao immediately grinned happily when he saw Wei Xun.

"Did your Brother Red Armor give you a conch?" Wei Xun asked directly.

"Yes!" Abao immediately opened his mouth and spat out the conch after hearing the question.

Upon seeing it, Wei Xun immediately took the conch and tried to pour Spiritual Qi into it, but he found that he couldn't activate the conch to release Xiong Er.

It was as if there was some kind of password inside the conch. After Spiritual Qi was poured in, it needed to pass through a maze-like passage, and only by following the correct route could the conch be activated.

"How can I release the person you've locked inside?" Wei Xun tried a few more times but found it still wouldn't work.

"I don't know, ribbit!" Abao scratched his head in confusion, looking genuinely clueless.

Damn it!

Then Wei Xun asked other water demons one after another, but not a single demon knew.

"Only Brother Red Armor knows how to use this conch!" At this moment, a water demon suddenly said.

Upon receiving this news, Wei Xun immediately went to the Red Armor Carp Demon's side, and only after confirming that the Carp Demon was not dead did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had helped him at that time, otherwise, even if he had come to Bi Shui Lake and obtained this conch, he wouldn't have been able to release Xiong Er.

However, this Carp was now unconscious and wouldn't wake up for a while. It seemed he would have to wait a bit longer to release Xiong Er.

"Let me do it!" Just then, the Black Dragon suddenly appeared from behind.

Wei Xun looked back at the Black Dragon and immediately felt a pressure from him no less than that from the Tiger King. It seemed they were both great demons of the Pure Yang Realm, third layer.

The Black Dragon took the conch from Wei Xun's hand, then channeled a wisp of Spiritual Qi into the tail of the conch, and immediately, a white light shot out from the conch's opening.

Immediately, Xiong Er, who had been trapped inside, was released.

However, being suddenly released from the conch, and at the bottom of the lake.

Xiong Er choked on a mouthful of water unexpectedly, then immediately covered his mouth, wanting to swim upward.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon gently stomped his right foot on the ground, directly separating the surrounding lake water and forming a water-free space at the bottom of the lake.

After Xiong Er fell onto the stone at the bottom of the lake, he immediately saw Wei Xun.

"Big Brother, I missed you so much!" Xiong Er immediately rushed over and hugged Wei Xun, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Alright, alright!" Wei Xun was being squeezed a bit breathlessly by Xiong Er, so he had to push him away: "You don't have any missing arms or legs, why are you crying!"

After being scolded by Wei Xun, Xiong Er finally returned to normal, then his eyes widened immediately as he looked at the magical scenery at the bottom of the lake.

Especially when he saw the fat fish swimming in the lake, he couldn't help but drool.

"You're the helper Red Armor mentioned, right!" The Black Dragon walked up to Wei Xun and asked at this moment.

"Helper?" Wei Xun frowned slightly: "Not really, at most I was threatened!"

The Black Dragon glanced at Xiong Er, who had just been released, and immediately guessed the whole story.

"If I am Brother Red Armor, forgive any previous offense!" The Black Dragon said with a smile: "I apologize for him!"

"It's fine, it's fine! It's good that my brother is okay." Wei Xun waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on it. After all, this Black Dragon's strength was not inferior to the Tiger King's. Even if he wanted to cause trouble, his own strength wouldn't allow it.

"No, no!" But the Black Dragon shook his head: "Even if you don't care about what happened before, you helped my Brother Red Armor today, which allowed him to avenge his blood feud and save his life!"

Speaking of this, the Black Dragon flipped his palm, and a golden-yellow pearl, about the size of an orange, appeared out of thin air.

"This Dragon Pearl is a token of my gratitude for your help!" The Black Dragon smiled.

"Dragon Pearl?" Wei Xun was curious and took the Dragon Pearl, holding it in his hand and observing it carefully.

He found that there were no star patterns inside the Dragon Pearl, but rather a faintly transparent orb.
