101: Shocking water demons! Where did so many powerful demons come from on the edge of the mountains?!
After the battle at Tu Shan, there were still twenty-five Great Demons remaining across the Four Regions of Fierce Tooth Mountain.
Initially, their submission was mainly due to Xu Qing's formidable strength and the deterrence of the Soul Seal Restriction.
However, later on, Xu Qing would occasionally reward them with some Spirit Pills.
When that pure medicinal power appeared in their bodies, causing their long-stagnant Cultivation Level to improve slightly, these surrendered Great Demons immediately became utterly devoted.
Their enthusiasm for work greatly increased, transforming from forced compliance to proactive engagement!
Now, upon receiving Xu Qing's command, they immediately knew an opportunity to earn merit had arrived.
In an instant.
Accompanied by bursts of Demonic Qi, dozens of Great Demons rushed into the distance!
Even Fat Ball and Skinny Egg were a step slow!
They both stared at the retreating figures of the Great Demons, dumbfounded, a strong sense of crisis welling up in their hearts.
Competitors had appeared!
There were actually Great Demons in the Taihang Mountains even more proactive than them!
"Hurry and catch up!"
Fat Ball let out a low growl and quickly chased after them.
Skinny Egg followed closely, fearing to miss the chance to earn merit.
Xu Qing did not follow. Now that his subordinates' strength had improved, he naturally didn't need to personally handle trivial matters.
Otherwise, with such a large territory, if he had to do everything himself, when would he have time to discuss techniques with his wives... At the edge of the Taihang Mountains.
The White-faced Water Demon and the Black-faced Water Demon were intensifying their interrogation of the Little Demons in the jungle.
What puzzled them was that whenever they questioned the Little Demons about the Snake King multiple times, they would always regain a trace of clarity.
Helpless, the White-faced Water Demon could only increase the intensity, once again exhaling a mouthful of thick fog.
The Little Demons' Cultivation Level was too weak after all, making it truly difficult for them to resist the methods of a Great Demon.
The white fog grew denser, and the Little Demons' eyes completely fell into a daze.
"Fortunately, we have you!" the Black-faced Water Demon exclaimed again, "If I knew this Spell, why would I be unable to find a young lady?"
"No matter, after we finish this task, we'll go to Spring Phoenix Pavilion for some fun. I heard they're selecting a new Courtesan Queen recently."
The White-faced Water Demon looked pleased, patting his companion's shoulder.
"That's great, let's hurry up!" the Black-faced Water Demon rejoiced.
They looked at the Little Monkey Demon in front of them, about to open their mouths to ask a question.
"Caw!"
A sharp, piercing cry came from high in the sky.
The two Water Demons' expressions changed, and they suddenly looked up, gazing at the sky above. Through the thick fog, a dark shadow could vaguely be seen appearing in the sky!
"Oh no! We've been discovered!"
"Quick, go!"
At this moment, they no longer cared about the East River Dragon King's command. Their figures transformed into afterimages, rushing out of the Taihang Mountains.
But right at this moment.
Boom---
Bursts of powerful Demonic Qi suddenly rose, and fierce, violent killing intent descended!
"So many!"
The White-faced Water Demon exclaimed. Among the surrounding Demonic Qi, he sensed several auras that were even more powerful than his own!
If it were just one or two, that would be fine.
The key was that dozens of Demonic Qi auras had appeared all around them!
At the same time.
Massive figures charged into the white fog.
The Illusory Mist had minimal effect on them. After sensing the auras of the two Water Demons, they charged straight over.
A moment later.
The White-faced Water Demon and the Black-faced Water Demon stopped, looking around at the faint figures in the mist, their faces pale.
Heavy footsteps sounded.
The Great Demons' figures gradually became clearer.
The two Water Demons looked up at the sky, then at the figures in the surrounding jungle, and finally cast their gaze upon the ground beneath their feet.
"Fortunately, we have you! There's no road to perdition for demons. Aren't you a Catfish Spirit? Quickly dig a hole, and we can still escape!"
The Black-faced Water Demon whispered to his companion, "You hurry, I'll cover you!"
Before he finished speaking.
A sound came from the ground beneath their feet.
Immediately after.
Not far ahead, the ground slightly bulged. Sharp spines broke through several hard bluestones, and a Hedgehog Spirit poked its head out from underground.
White-faced Water Demon: "...Heaven wants us both dead!"
The Black-faced Water Demon's body stiffened.
Immense despair surged in the Water Demon's heart.
The paths above and below ground were all blocked. Wasn't it said that there was always a glimmer of hope in everything!?
At this moment, Six Liang's reddish little eyes stared at the two Water Demons in front of him, muttering softly.
"An opportunity to earn merit has arrived!"
It wasn't just the Hedgehog Spirit; the other figures around them were also muttering the same words.
Their eyes were filled with excitement and agitation. In their eyes, the two Water Demons seemed to have transformed into two giant Medicinal Pills.
"The Spirit Pill is mine!"
Someone shouted, instantly stirring all the surrounding Great Demons.
They rushed forward, scrambling over each other, and various Spells instantly descended into the mist!
"Boom!"
A huge sound echoed in the jungle.
A moment later.
"Stop quickly! Don't kill them, the Great King said he wants them alive!"
The belated Fat Ball and Skinny Egg exclaimed in surprise, hastily trying to stop them.
Hearing this, the Great Demons awoke, immediately stopped, and looked with worry at the spot they had collectively attacked.
The White-faced Water Demon and the Black-faced Water Demon lay on their backs on the ground, covered in blood, their eyes staring blankly at the sky, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
They could not for the life of them understand why dozens of Millennium Great Demons could appear at the very edge of the Great Mountain!
How did this world... suddenly become so unfamiliar?
"Heavens!"
Fat Ball saw the condition of the two Water Demons, exclaimed, leaned closer, looked down a few times, and turned to say:
"Six Liang, quickly give me a few Spirit Pills, or these two won't survive!"
The Hedgehog Spirit Six Liang heard this, its spines immediately bristled, and it took two steps back cautiously, saying, "What for?"
"To save them!" Skinny Egg immediately said, "The Great King wants them alive. How can we report back to the Great King if we bring back two corpses!"
"You two usually get the most Spirit Pills, why are you asking me for them?" Six Liang directly refused.
Fat Ball pointed to his round belly and said, "Look at me, can I save Spirit Pills?"
"That's true..." Six Liang nodded, then suddenly startled awake and quickly shook his head, "No! I don't have any Spirit Pills either, I ate them all already!"
"Nonsense!" Skinny Egg pointed at Six Liang, "Last time I saw you, you secretly hid two."
At this point, the other Great Demons nearby also began to persuade.
"Six Liang, if you really have Spirit Pills, take them out first, otherwise we won't be able to report back!"
"That's right, Brother Six Liang, you take them out first to help our brothers in need. When the Great King rewards us again in the future, we'll return them to you!"
If it were Fat Ball and Skinny Egg persuading him, Six Liang would never listen.
But he trusted the nature of the other Great Demons.
After much hesitation.
Six Liang pulled out two Spirit Pills, saying, "Just two, I only have these two, truly no more."
"Give them here!"
Fat Ball snatched the Spirit Pills.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the fat Monkey Demon broke one of the Spirit Pills in half and stuffed it into the mouths of the two Water Demons.
Immediately after, he swiftly divided the remaining Spirit Pill, throwing one half into his own mouth and the other half into Skinny Egg's mouth... The third watch tonight, I'll definitely rise to the occasion! If I don't, you can twist off my weasel head!
