Chapter 21: Two Treasures

  Fei Que, Di Shu and Bai Mao generally, had long opened their spiritual wisdom, but just hadn't found the way to cultivate as a demon, so they were blocked outside the threshold of the refined monster. At this time, seeing Qi Lei's words and deeds, he immediately transmitted the San Zhao Gong Fa, and couldn't help but be excited, with joy all over his face.

  It is said that those who take advantage of others' kindness will eventually show their true colors. Having gained such great benefits, they naturally want to flaunt them.

  "Your Majesty, I have discovered a strange tree. Although it is as black as charcoal, it emits an extremely powerful aura and may be a rare treasure. If Your Majesty likes it, you can go take a look and bring it back for your own use."

  Fei Que and Qi Lei both belong to the bird tribe. At first glance, they felt very close, and soon became like family members.

  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I also have a discovery. Deep within the Blood Wolf Mountain, there is a golden stone that resembles a sharp sword, with an unparalleled hardness. My mouse tribe has been using it to sharpen our teeth for tens of millions of years, yet we've never seen even a hint of wear and tear. It's indeed a rare treasure."

  The groundhog's small eyes rolled around, and the few whiskers on its pointed mouth quivered continuously as it opened its mouth to shout loudly.

  As a result, Qi Lei was somewhat stunned. He had been in the Tian Shan Mountains for almost a year and had not seen any rare treasures except for the Monkey Wine. Now, Fei Que and Di Shu had suddenly taken out two items, leaving him bewildered.

  "In that case, I'll go with Fei Que to take a look at Qi Mu first. The ground mouse will bring out the golden stone and wait for me to come back before looking."

  He thought for a moment and had an idea. Although he didn't believe they would bring out any treasure, it was still their kind intention, so he should accept whatever they gave him.

  "Hei Mu is just on the Blood Wolf Mountain cliff, due to the treacherous terrain, almost no one can see him except for my bird tribe."

  Fei Que explained one side while unfolding his wings, and on the other side, he interpreted Hei Mu's specific situation.

  It is said that a long time ago, the Blood Wolf Mountain was connected to the entire ancient vein, and there were no cliffs. However, later on, a giant tree cultivated into a demon and encountered a heavenly calamity. Lightning struck crazily for over a month, truly like the end of the world. The power was so great that it cut off the entire mountain, forming today's cliff.

  Of course, these are just rumors and may not be credible.

  However, the flying sparrow was extremely afraid of Kuroki and stopped far away, indicating that if it went any further, it would encounter a huge pressure that would make people's hearts tremble with fear, feel uncomfortable all over, and even be unable to spread its wings to fly, let alone get closer.

  "Then let the great king go in person!"

  Zi Lei saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, so he didn't make things difficult for her. Following her directions, he gazed at the blurry black wood and spread his wings, flying over.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, he soon encountered a pressure, as if the air had become thick and sticky, making flight no longer smooth. Fortunately, this situation was greatly alleviated after he activated the "Eagle Claw Divine Technique", and even almost disappeared. However, it did not allow him to get closer to Fei Que as before.

  As he got closer and closer, he saw the whole picture of Kuroki.

  This black wood, both top and bottom are as thick as an adult's wrist, without any branches or leaves, giving off a strange and eerie feeling. Although it has been dead for many years, it still stands upright, inserted in the middle of the mountain cliff. At first glance, it appears very abrupt and unusual, but after looking at it for a long time, it creates an illusion that what is standing on the mountain cliff is not an ugly black wood, but an eternal unyielding warrior spirit.

  Yes, Battle Soul!

  There is a sense of tragic heroism on its body, as if it is an unwilling cry to death, swirling and lingering in the world.

  Even in death, stand proudly and refuse to yield!

  Zi Lei felt this pride, couldn't help but be stunned, and a figure of a great demon yelling at the sky and fighting against heaven appeared in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a sense of admiration and couldn't resist bowing to Kuroki.

  Just then, Kuroki suddenly shot out a black light, and a strange power also poured out, slowly spreading outward, the air suddenly becoming even more oppressive, as if it was about to solidify.

  "No wonder flying birds can't get close, it turns out that it can automatically emit a demonic aura, indeed a strange tree."

  Zhilei was shocked and delighted at the same time. If he could obtain Heimü, absorb the demonic energy inside, it would greatly enhance his cultivation, with an effect several times better than that of Jí Líng Dān. Moreover, after breaking through to the fourth level, reaching the foundation-building period of a cultivator, the effect of Jí Líng Dān would become weaker and weaker, making Heimü the best supplement at this time.

  Thinking of this, he spread his wings and rushed onto the black wood, stretched out his claws, gripped tightly, and pulled upwards with great force.

  The small black tree was only as thick as an adult's wrist, but its roots were extremely firm. Even if he used his full strength of a thousand pounds, it didn't budge at all.

  However, Zire was not surprised but delighted. He immediately gave up using brute force and carefully pried open the rocks to expose as much of the root system as possible before pulling it out with all his might, and its entire appearance finally appeared.

  The eight-foot-tall black tree had a root system that was both thick and sturdy, with twisted roots that resembled eagle claws. He felt an intense joy in his heart as he grabbed the black tree, and at that moment, the automatic release of demonic energy suddenly surged into his body, perfectly merging with the demonic energy within him without any need for refinement.

  "As expected, it's a good treasure, and the flying sparrow has made great contributions!"

  Zi Lei was overjoyed and suddenly had high expectations for the groundhog's offering as well.

  The mole's offering was a golden stone, used by the mouse tribe to sharpen their teeth. The shape of its sword was quite eye-catching, and it was also frighteningly hard. Even when Zilei exerted all his strength with one claw, he couldn't scratch it at all. Moreover, when Zilei carefully examined it with his divine sense, he discovered that it had a faint aura of sharpness emanating from it, as if it were an invincible divine weapon. This made him feel a chill run down his spine, and it was clear that this was no ordinary object to be underestimated.

  It's just that, compared to Kuroki, its effect on Rai is not so immediate, and it's big and heavy, making it look very clumsy. If he hadn't obtained Zheng Yuanguang's storage bag, which could easily store it without any effort, he would have been in trouble with it.

  In any case, the result was a win-win situation. Qi Lei obtained two treasures that greatly aided his cultivation, while Fei Que and Di Shu gained the method to refine their demonic powers, obtaining the key to pass through the Jingui Gate.

  Bu Ti Qi Lei sat with the four major ethnic groups, strong and powerful, full of confidence. But all of a sudden, Lu Yi Chen and Cai Die used the divine escape symbol and slipped away from the ancient Tian Shan vein like smoke, exhausted to the point of being like a dead dog, almost unable to get up.

  "We were too careless, the eagle has definitely become a minor demon. With our current strength, we are not its match. Being able to escape with our lives is already quite good."

  Lu Yichen wiped away his sweat and revealed a bitter smile.

  This time, he not only lost face, but also ruined the reputation of the "most powerful" demon-slaying master of the Beast-Taming Sect. He also lost half a lifetime's accumulation of talismans and caused his fellow disciples, Big Whiskers and Thin Youth, to lose their life-protecting artifacts and suffer severe damage to their spiritual energy, which would take at least three to five years to recover from.

  "All day hitting geese, in the end, I was pecked blind by a goose!"
