Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 4: The sudden appearance of the demon beast
Gong Lili was shocked. She had heard some legends about the Xuming Realm before. It was said that the monsters in the Xuming Realm were divided into levels, from low to high, from level one to level nine. Level one was naturally the weakest beast that had just cultivated into a monster, like the twins of Senior Brother Zeze. According to Zeze, they were level three monsters, and this tribe of monster rats were said to be able to reach level five.
A level five demon beast can already run rampant in this Void Realm continent. If it were placed in a mountain, it would be able to dominate the world.
However, a ninth-level monster is unheard of and unseen. It must be on the level of the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird, right?
But why would a legendary ninth-level demon beast be trapped in this demon stone? And why did it suddenly fall here?
Just when Ying Lili was at a loss for words, Mo Yi had already landed on the ground. Hearing that there might be a ninth-level monster in the demon stone, Mo Yi was obviously interested. His eyes flickered with a strange look. Before Ying Lili could continue to ask, Mo Yi spoke first: "How do we awaken the ninth-level monster?"
Just now, he had used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the Canglong living in the Dragon-Slaying Song, but the Canglong might have been sealed for too long, or perhaps in the ancient times when the Canglong was active, monsters and beasts had not yet roamed the world, so the Canglong was not very clear about the situation of this so-called ninth-level monster.
As soon as Mo Yi said this, there was silence all around, with only bursts of gasps.
What did he mean by that? Was he planning to deliberately awaken the ninth-level demon beast?
The rustic boy's eyes widened wider than cowbells, staring at Mo Yi as if he were a monster. Not only him, but also Yan Zhengzeze and the Qiongqi demon rat all had expressions of horror.
Only Gong Lili was not surprised. She knew a little about Mo Yi's temper and knew that it was the innate curiosity of the Nayu people in his bones that was at work. Then she thought, since she wanted to help the rustic boy destroy the demon stone, she had to deal with this ninth-level demon beast. Instead of passively defending, it would be better to take the initiative. After all, she had been in this Xu Ming Realm for so long and claimed that she had seen all kinds of storms. So, Gong Lili was not very afraid of this ninth-level demon beast.
Thinking of this, Yinglili asked the demon rat curiously, "Can this demon stone be destroyed from the outside?"
This was met with even more horrified looks from everyone. Only Mo Yi raised his eyebrows, a flicker of approval in his eyes. It was Ze Ze who first realized what Ying Lili was about to do. He raised his head and whispered seriously to Yan Zheng, "Brother Zheng, is this what they call a husband singing and a wife following his lead?"
Before she could finish her words, she received a slap on the head. She pouted with an aggrieved expression, "I didn't say anything wrong, why are you hitting me?"
Yan Zheng quickly covered his little mouth and said to Zeze seriously, "Sometimes you shouldn't tell the truth, just keep it in your heart."
At this time, even Qiongqi, who was watching the fun from the side, couldn't help but snicker.
Ying Lili's face suddenly became full of black lines. Even someone as kind as Yan Zheng started to tease her. Is this world still a place where people can survive?
It was the country bumpkin boy who came out to help Gong Lili out. Perhaps he didn't understand what these people were saying at all, as he asked anxiously, "Is the fairy planning to get rid of the demon?"
When Ying Lili heard the word "fairy lady", her face turned black again. "Fairy lady, fairy lady, I'm still a mushroom." She said unhappily, "Do you think I'm just here to make a cameo appearance?"
It was a pity that except for Mo Yi, no one else got the joke. Ying Lili sighed and continued to ask the demon rat, "Why don't you answer me? Do you think it's fun to laugh at me? If you don't behave, I'll throw your demon rat clan to feed the cats!"
The demon rat knew that Ying Lili was probably angry, so it stopped trembling. After all, no matter how scary a ninth-level demon beast was, it was not as scary as an angry Ying Lili. She was the one who inherited the legacy from Lord Xuan Yue.
It spoke out everything it knew in one breath: "The demon stone covering the surface is probably Baizhuo crystal, which is said to be the hardest crystal in the world. It is unlikely to be destroyed from the outside. I guess we can only wait for a certain time to come, and then the demon beast will come out of it."
The demon beast world also has levels. The other demon beasts are extremely respectful of the ninth-level demon beasts, so when mentioning the ninth-level demon beasts, the demon rat actually used honorifics.
But its answer clearly didn't satisfy Mo Yi and Ying Lili. Wait for a specific time? If this ninth-level demon beast insisted on staying inside and not coming out, wouldn't it take until all the flowers withered? They didn't have that much time to waste here.
After questioning the demon rat again and still getting no useful information, Mo Yi and Gong Lili looked at each other again. They seemed to see the same idea in each other's eyes. Almost at the same time, Mo Yi and Gong Lili jumped towards the demon stone at the same time!
Mo Yi's Dragon-Slaying Roar chopped towards the demon stone with earth-shattering force, and Gong Lili moved both hands at the same time, his ten fingers like hooks and bullets, and golden mysterious light, only as thick as the little finger and as light as the morning mist, shot out towards the demon stone. The seal set by Yan Zheng before disappeared in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, the demon stone was really as hard as the demon rat said!
Mo Yi and Gong Lili attacked at the same time. The destructive power of this combined attack was not only earth-shattering, but at least had the effect of a landslide. Just look at the situation around the dense forest to see that in just a blink of an eye, the area around the deep pit was in a mess, as if it had been attacked by a wild wind and a ferocious beast!
Fortunately, Yan Zheng opened the barrier in time to protect the country boy, otherwise, he would have really become a turtle, a meat turtle.
Even Zeze and Qiongqi were sweating coldly at this moment, thinking that it was really scary when these two people were together, they were completely like a pair of lunatics.
But the demon stone in the deep pit did not move at all, and there was not even a crack!
But at this moment, the demon rat suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "I remember, it is said that although this Baizhuo crystal is extremely hard, it is afraid of fire. If you use the essence of fire in your body to burn it, it should be able to be burned!" The demon rat had stayed underground in the purgatory sea of fire before, and it seemed that it also knew that Gong Lili had absorbed the essence of fire, so he said it without hesitation at this time!
The essence of fire!
If the demon rat had not mentioned this, Yinglili would have probably forgotten that she had absorbed the essence of fire in the underground of Yonghui City. Because later on, the essence of fire seemed to be completely absorbed by her body, and she did not feel anything at all. So Yinglili subconsciously put this matter behind her. Now, when she heard the demon rat talk about it, she reluctantly remembered it. However, how should she use the essence of fire?
Although she had used fire spells like Netherfire before, those spells were sourced from her own spiritual energy, and that was before Yaoji was sealed. Ever since then, Yinglili hadn't managed to create a single spark. Even more so than summoning the Essence of Separation Fire, Yinglili was practically dumbfounded. She didn't even know where the Essence of Separation Fire was within her body, so how could she use it?
She looked at Mo Yi with a wry smile, intending to ask for his help. Mo Yi, thinking she was asking him about fire magic, twitched his lips, and gave her a wry smile. Mo Yi had never practiced any fire magic. Back in Na Yu, he had only learned fighting techniques like swords, spears, and clubs. What Zhuo Ao had taught him was mostly similar. As for water and fire magic, Mo Yi knew almost nothing about it.
When Yan Zheng heard that Ying Lili had the Essence of Fire in her body, he was initially surprised. But then he thought, Ying Lili is the reincarnation of the God of Sha Mo, so what's impossible? He looked at Ying Lili scratching her head and immediately understood that she probably didn't know how to use that treasure.
Yan Zheng walked over very considerately and asked Ying Lili a few questions quietly. Ying Lili immediately felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and told Yan Zheng how she had obtained the essence of fire. Yan Zheng thought about it and finally understood the crux of the problem. It turned out that this young lady still didn't know how to see inside.
The so-called inner vision means that practitioners can freely probe their spiritual consciousness into their own Dantian sea of consciousness to examine the condition of their body. If the body has absorbed any treasure , they can also check it freely and use it reasonably.
Gradually, Pinglili entered a state of inner vision for the first time. Only then did she see clearly that her dantian, a world unto itself, was like a small, square room, and in a faint, icy-blue light lingered. Upon closer inspection, she saw an icy-blue lotus, quietly floating and blooming above her dantian. It was the 'Lian Ruo' passed down to her by her master, Xuan Yue, from Kamai. Although she knew it was a valuable gift, to Pinglili, it was like a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror—beautiful but useless.
A closer look revealed something glittering in the corner of his dantian, including a shimmering ice-blue bead. It took a long moment for Yinglili to realize this was the inner elixir of the thousand-year-old snake spirit that had been devoured by that old Kongming Clan serpent spirit the first time? It was still there, after all! Wow, it was truly hidden. If it weren't for this introspection, Yinglili would have completely forgotten about it. However, how to use this thing was beyond her comprehension. Never mind, she'd just let it go. She still hadn't found the all-important Essence of Fire yet.
After searching for a while longer, she found a black crystal. It looked exactly like the ten-thousand-year-old black crystal used by the demons. Ying Lili was stunned. How could such a thing be in her dantian? Suddenly, she remembered that both Jian Yi and Mo Yi seemed to have simultaneously helped her absorb the dark power. Could it be that the dark power had automatically transformed into this black crystal within her body? How could she use it?
At this time, Gong Lili was already very upset. It seemed that if he had time in the future, he would have to tidy up his dantian first, so as not to let a bunch of treasures get moldy.
Finally, he finally found the crimson crystal in the far corner of his dantian, which seemed to still have flames. This should be the essence of fire, right? But how should he use it?
The underworld god Gonglili thought for a while and concentrated all his thoughts on the essence of the fire of separation. Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate rapidly and gradually formed a chaotic vortex in his dantian. The center of the vortex was the essence of the fire of separation!
His golden-brown eyes suddenly opened, and at this moment, a purple-gold flame suddenly shot out from the fingertips of Yinglili! The purple-gold flame immediately rushed towards the demon stone like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue. In the blink of an eye, the demon stone was surrounded by blazing flames!
Woo woo woo
A haunting low hum gradually emanated from the demonic stone, and everyone around them held their breath. Was the ninth-level demonic beast about to emerge?! Mo Yi's Dragon Slaying Roar was already in hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the demonic beast! Even Yan Zheng and Ze Ze were now channeling their spiritual energy, ready to strike back with a desperate blow. There was no other way; that woman was a troublemaker .
Bang! A loud bang!
The originally extremely hard demon stone suddenly broke into four pieces, and a wisp of purple mist rose from the demon stone. In the purple mist, it seemed that something broke through the air!
