137: Bone Demon Descends to the Ghost Tribe

“I do indeed need your help with something,” Li Yi said with a smile.

Ghost Green was clever, guessing that he had ulterior motives and needed their assistance.

Judging by Ghost Green's expression, she seemed willing to help Li Yi, as Li Yi's benefits were not to be taken for granted.

Moreover, as a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, Li Yi was someone she definitely wanted to befriend; hadn't the benefits already become apparent?

If she could frequently obtain Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills in the future, that would naturally be wonderful.

Ghost Orchid, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts and directly said, “Thank you. I won't eat your Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill for free. If there's anything you need help with, just say it directly, and I'll do my best.”

Ghost Green covered her face, truly not knowing what to say about Ghost Orchid; she was too straightforward. She should at least first listen to what Li Yi actually wanted to do, weigh the pros and cons, and then consider whether to help.

What if it's too much... she'd have to ask for more money.

Ghost Green spoke, “Ghost Yi, let's not dilly-dally. Don't you just want to win us over? Just say what you need. Whether we help or not depends on the situation, as long as it's not too much. Of course, this is for the sake of this Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill.”

Li Yi said, “Don't worry, it's nothing excessive. I've just joined the Ghost Division, and there are many places where it's inconvenient for me, so I ask for your understanding and accommodation.”

“That's it?” Ghost Green's brow furrowed slightly. This request... it really didn't sound like a request.

Currently, Ghost Yi has D-grade contribution, so there are very few restrictions on him. Ghost Green and Ghost Orchid also have no right to restrict Ghost Yi, unless Ghost Yi does something harmful to the Ghost Division.

Therefore, Ghost Yi's condition, to them, was not a condition at all.

Picking up a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill for free? To them, it was like a pie falling from the sky. Was there really such a good thing?

“Of course, it's not just this one thing. It's just that I haven't thought of the other things yet. I'll tell you when I do,” Li Yi patiently explained, “Don't worry, I'll have plenty of places to bother you two in the future. Of course, you two won't be short on benefits either. The Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill you just took is a meeting gift.”

Ghost Green frowned, feeling as if she had boarded a pirate ship.

She only hoped that Ghost Yi wouldn't cause any major trouble in the future, as it would be troublesome if things got out of hand.

Ghost Orchid said gratefully, “Thank you so much. This Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill is very important to me. If there's anything you need help with in the future, just say so.”

She patted her chest, looking chivalrous and obligated.

“Certainly.”

Ghost Green stared at Li Yi with a curious expression, finding it hard to imagine that Li Yi was actually a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

She had never heard of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist suddenly appearing before, which showed that Li Yi had been hiding very deeply in the past.

What exactly did such a person want to do by coming to the Ghost Division? What in the Ghost Division attracted him? This made Ghost Green very curious.

She didn't ask too many questions; Li Yi certainly wouldn't say, and besides, it was better to befriend a demon like Li Yi. Helping him might even lead to obtaining Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills to eat in the future.

The benefits were self-evident.

With just one Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, Ghost Green felt a world-shaking change in her strength, and her future was promising.

The medicinal effect had not been fully digested, and a part of it still accumulated in her body. Ghost Green had to go back and properly digest and Cultivate.

“In that case, I won't disturb you. Ghost Orchid and I will take our leave first.”

With that, Ghost Green pulled Ghost Orchid away, returning to secluded cultivation to digest the medicinal power.

If she fully digested the medicinal power, her strength would definitely rise another level.

The gains brought by the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill were truly substantial.

After seeing off the two demons, Night Crow asked, puzzled, “Why didn't you just let them help you scout out the treasury?”

This was Li Yi's initial goal. She didn't understand why Li Yi didn't just say it. From their current attitude towards Li Yi, they should agree.

After all, it was just scouting, not helping Li Yi steal, which they could accept.

Li Yi explained, “If I ask them to help me now, it would at most be a transaction. When the time is right, they will willingly help me steal.”

Night Crow understood Li Yi's meaning: “So confident in your charm? Well, after all, you've only met twice, and they're already going to procreate with you. I think the feelings are pretty much there.”

Upon closer thought, Li Yi's charm was indeed quite significant, and a bit outrageous, very abnormal.

“That's completely a misunderstanding.” Li Yi was speechless. Can we not bring that up?

“How is it a misunderstanding? I think they're truly sincere towards Master.”

Night Crow teased.

Li Yi's brow furrowed slightly: “What, do you want another beating?”

Upon hearing that, Night Crow instinctively covered her backside and obediently fell silent.

Just as Li Yi was plotting the specific details, he suddenly heard a violent commotion from outside.

Feeling a powerful pressure descend upon the Ghost Division, Li Yi was slightly startled, realizing something was amiss. It felt like something formidable was approaching, and it felt a little familiar. Could it be... Bone Wraith?

Night Crow exclaimed, “Oh no, it's Bone Wraith! Why has it found the Ghost Division? By this stance, could it be that it discovered we're in the Ghost Division? That shouldn't be.”

All along the way, she and Li Yi had concealed their tracks, and no demons had discovered them. Logically, Bone Wraith shouldn't have been able to discover them either. Why did it find the Ghost Division so accurately?

The demons in the Ghost Division sensed the commotion and came out one after another, looking up at the sky.

In the sky, a huge skull overlooked all living beings—it was precisely Bone Wraith.

A group of demons stepped forward and knelt, trembling under Bone Wraith's pressure, filled with reverence for Bone Wraith, not daring to show the slightest hint of resistance.

“Demonic Lord, it's Demonic Lord!”

“You all pay respects to Demonic Lord!”

Bone Wraith ignored these people, its gaze sweeping across the entire Ghost Division, searching for something.

Its angry voice, accompanied by its pressure, descended upon the Ghost Division:

“Night Crow! Get out here! And that human, I know you two are here, both of you get out!”

Under Bone Wraith's furious might, those demons couldn't raise their heads, completely suppressed by the pressure. Many demons couldn't even move under this pressure.

They gritted their teeth and resisted with difficulty, enduring Bone Wraith's wrath.

Was this the Demonic Lord? Just its pressure made them suffer immensely.

Speaking of which, Night Crow was in the Ghost Division? And that human was here too?

Impossible! The Ghost Division's patrols were strict, and Night Crow was no ordinary demon, let alone a human, who was completely different from demons. How could they have snuck into the Ghost Division?

Could it be that they were hidden in some secret corner of the Ghost Division, using some method to conceal themselves, playing a trick of 'the darkest place is under the lamp'?

The reason Bone Wraith was so certain that Li Yi and Night Crow were in the Ghost Division was because it sensed that its bone was here!

A subtle sense, roughly within the Ghost Division, but it didn't know the exact location.

Li Yi had severed its Clone and taken Night Crow, making it, who had always been arrogant, unable to bear such humiliation. It had to kill this human to vent its anger!
