Chapter 41: Submission and Offering of Treasures
The cultivation of the fierce cow is not high, only reaching the second level of Jingguai. The cultivation process is similar to that of the Purple Scorpion King, relying on swallowing blood food and slowly accumulating demon power. Later, it also obtained some opportunities and crossed the threshold of Jingguai.
However, he was a wild child after all, without a systematic way of cultivating demons, and his cultivation speed was extremely slow. On the other hand, his physical strength was not to be underestimated, even if it was just White Hair or Three Claws, who had cultivated to the third level of Jingguai, many were inferior to him.
But still, as a wild child, even with great strength, he didn't know how to use it, and if he really fought with Bai Mao or San Zhao, he would likely lose his life. Even against Fei Que and Di Shu, he couldn't win.
"This fierce cow, although arrogant and rude, has not caused us any harm. Moreover, it can rely on itself to cross the threshold of the spiritual realm, which is also a sign that it has a connection with the cultivation of demons. Ground mouse, go and let him come see me!"
At the sound of Chi Lei's command, before long, a fierce cow with heavy footsteps came over with a crash.
"Your Majesty is above, forgive the crime of disrespect from your humble servant!"
He suddenly became well-behaved and showed extreme gentleness. As soon as he saw Zile, his two front legs knelt down and apologized repeatedly.
"Ignorance is no excuse, and we did pass through your territory without prior notice. However, since the matter has been brought up, why are you still following us? Are you not convinced in your heart?"
Zi Lei's tone was still pleasant and calm at the beginning, but as he spoke his last sentence, his voice suddenly rose, becoming stern and severe. A sense of unyielding authority emanated from him, accompanied by a cold, ruthless killing intent that rolled out in waves, one after another, like ocean waves.
The sky and earth suddenly turned cold!
Even the warm sunshine has lost its usual warmth.
The fierce cow shuddered all over, greatly shocked and lost in color, hastily making explanations.
"The great king calmed down. Old Cow followed the great king, wanting to become one of his generals, and was willing to go through fire and water for him."
"Cough cough, that Big King, I've made inquiries, this fierce cow really has a mind to join us, and he's bringing treasures as gifts."
Seeing the atmosphere wasn't quite harmonious, the groundhog's small eyes darted around, and the few small whiskers on his pointed mouth twitched upwards. He chuckled and chimed in with Lei, saying that when it came to treasure, he couldn't help but bat his eyelashes twice, sending a secretive glance, as if to say: "Your Majesty, take him in, not for anything else, just for the sake of that treasure."
Zi Lei's face changed color, almost bulging out his eyeballs, thinking to himself that in the eyes of the earth mouse, he, the great king, was a greedy ghost.
However, he did intend to take the barbarian cow as his subordinate, and the ground mouse didn't misunderstand this point. As for the treasure, since the barbarian cow was willing to offer it up, he didn't have a reason to be polite.
"Considering the mole's words, I'll spare you this once and allow you to join us in our crime. As for rushing into boiling water or walking through fire, that's not necessary. The most important task at hand is to lead us through the grasslands as quickly as possible, enter the Redwood Forest, and ultimately reach the East Sea coast."
The fierce cow heard Zilei's words, as if hearing the sound of the gods, its tail wagging excitedly, almost jumping up.
"Cough cough, don't be so happy yet. Before you leave, hurry up and bring out the treasure. You said it was definitely a rare treasure. If you dare to cheat me, see how I'll deal with you."
The groundhog's little eyes gleamed with excitement as it pretended to be a big brother, thoroughly enjoying itself.
He is also inferior to Bai Mao and San Zhao in terms of cultivation, and he acknowledges Qi Lei as the great king. Being after them and in front of them, he naturally doesn't dare to be presumptuous. Moreover, Fei Que has always looked down on him and often considers himself a member of Qi Lei's clan, so among the four demons, he is always ranked last.
Now finally came an "old five", how could he not be excited.
"Your Majesty, please follow me. This treasure is located in a place of absolute danger. With my skills, I am unable to retrieve it."
The fierce cow was in high spirits, with Ren Qi Lei riding on its back, trotting along the way to the place he said.
This place can indeed be called a wonderland!
The terrain is excellent, with plenty of sunshine and adequate rainfall, which should make it the most lush place, but surprisingly not a single blade of grass grows, no trees are seen, and even the soil appears in an abnormal red color.
"It's strange, the red soil seems to be filled with flames."
Zi Lei was shocked in his heart, fell from the back of the fierce cow, and as soon as he approached this vast area, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, as if he were really facing a ball of flames, extremely hot, suddenly roasted to unbearable, even his eyes couldn't be opened.
Is it really on fire?!
Zi Lei was shocked and hastily asked the barbaric cow.
"The great king is unaware, this place is where the earth's fire converges, with a history of tens of millions of years. Over time, it gave birth to the essence of fire, and my physical body is a gift from it, an absolute treasure."
The fierce bull let out two excited snorts, and a stream of blue smoke emerged from its nostrils, with several sparks even shooting out.
"Essence of Fire?"
Zi Lei was overjoyed.
If he hadn't obtained the "Refining Foundation", he would have been completely in the dark, unaware of the preciousness of the Fire Essence. But now it was as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed on his head, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.
All things are generated from the five elements, which also determines that pure and single-attribute substances almost do not exist in the world. Therefore, a very large part of what alchemy needs to do is to purify substances. The essence of fire is the natural and pure fire element, which does not need to be purified at all.
In other words, if you get the essence of fire without going through any refinement, it is the supreme law of fire.
Precious!
It's simply too precious!
In a flash, he thought of "Yu Shidi" Xiao Jian's power and couldn't help but swallow his saliva heavily.
After experiencing the battle at Zixuan Mountain, he had a new understanding of the monks' artifacts. After carefully studying "The Art of Refining", he began to covet and fantasize about one day being able to wield an artifact to fight against the heavens and earth. Although he knew that he currently didn't have a demonic sect to nurture his own artifact, when faced with the Fire Essence, which was excellent material for refining artifacts, he couldn't help but drool.
Even if it's not useful now, it should be kept for future use!
"Where is the essence of fire?"
His eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he spoke to the wild bull.
"By my sensing, it should be at the very bottom of the center of this area."
The fierce cow saw Qi Lei and was very pleased, involuntarily answering with a smile, but his body involuntarily retreated backwards.
"The essence of fire is extremely hot and can burn everything. With my skills, if I touch it, it will definitely turn to ashes. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
Zi Lei thought of the introduction to the Fire Essence in "Refining Foundation", and his confidence greatly increased. He smiled slightly at the Bull King, saying: "If you can't even subdue a small Fire Essence, how can you be a great king? Look at my skills!"
As his voice fell, he flapped his wings and a myriad of lights flashed by. A sphere formed from demonic energy appeared.
