Chapter 119: The Small Demons Reveal Their Tracks

~7 min read 1,275 words

Zhang Yi frowned, thinking to himself: This Hexinquyu seems fraught with danger, but the temptation of that Devour skill is truly too great; no matter what, I cannot easily give up.

Nudi seemed to see through his thoughts and snorted coldly, saying: "With your meager abilities, you dare to barge into this Hexinquyu? Don't go throwing your life away!"

Zhang Yi turned his head to look at Nudi and retorted unconvinced: "How will I know if I don't try?" The Pterosaur also chimed in from the side: "Exactly, exactly, maybe we'll get lucky!"

Nudi rolled her eyes at them and said no more.

At this moment, several small Demon Beasts also noticed the commotion here.

"Hey, look, isn't that the Wangri Bird family?"

Another small demon grunted: "It really is them! To think they still dare to come here!"

"Their family turned the Demon Saint Mansion upside down before and offended quite a few powerful beings. Now that those powerful beings are all here, they actually dare to show their faces; they must be tired of living!"

"Hehe, there's a good show to watch!"

"Those powerful beings they offended certainly won't let them off!"

More and more Demon Beasts noticed Zhang Yi's family, and the whispering rose and fell, like a pot that had boiled over.

Zhang Yi was still observing the Great Demons in front, trying to find a way to enter the Hexinquyu.

Suddenly, he felt an itch on his ankle, and looking down, he discovered Xiao Pu was rubbing her head against his leg.

Xiao Pu stretched out her little wings and pointed at the surrounding Demon Beasts staring at them, her little face full of fear: "Daddy, let's leave here first, so many monsters are looking at us..."

Zhang Yi raised his head, scanned the surroundings, and immediately understood what Xiao Pu meant.

He whispered to Mother Jubiao, Nudi, and the others: "Let's leave here first; those Demon Beasts from the Demon Saint Mansion earlier have already recognized us."

Mother Jubiao nodded, and the family quietly left the crowd, finding a secluded corner to settle down temporarily.

The Pterosaur was an impatient fellow and couldn't help but complain, "Why are we hiding here? Let's just charge in later and grab the cultivation treasure land inside first!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at him: "If you're so capable, you go. Anyway, with my cultivation and ability, I definitely can't get in."

The Pterosaur sat down on his backside next to Zhang Yi, then grinned at him with a wide mouth, "You aren't afraid of that blind bear, are you?"

Zhang Yi was indifferent, "Afraid of him, my foot."

He thought to himself, I still need to seize his Devour skill.

Nudi leaned against a piece of dead wood, her gaze cast toward the Hexinquyu, where the spiritual energy was thick, like a fairyland.

She thought to herself: This place is truly a treasure land; if one could cultivate inside, it would surely be a thousand miles a day, but unfortunately...

She sighed, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Yi, Mother Jubiao, and the Pterosaur, finally turning into a helpless sigh.

These people, each one is more unreliable than the last; counting on them?

Might as well count on pie falling from the sky.

Zhang Yi was looking around in boredom when he suddenly locked eyes with Nudi.

In that instant, Nudi's inner voice clearly entered his ears: "This idiot, he's eaten so many good things and hasn't made any progress at all! A waste of my treasures! If I'd known, I would have eaten them myself! And those spider legs..."

Hearing the words "spider legs," Zhang Yi almost laughed out loud.

This woman, she really refuses to suffer even the slightest loss!

He complained inwardly: It's just a few spider legs, is it worth obsessing over? What a stingy person!

He decided to pretend he hadn't heard and continued to observe the situation around him.

The energy fluctuations in the Hexinquyu were becoming more and more violent; some weaker Demon Beasts had already begun to be unable to withstand it and retreated one after another.

The powerful Demon Beasts capable of withstanding the energy fluctuations occupied the Hexinquyu.

Greedily absorbing the dense spiritual energy, they each closed their eyes and focused, like old monks in meditation.

Xiong Batian's massive body was like a small mountain, occupying the best position, his snoring thunderous, almost drowning out the humming of the energy.

The Red Flame Tiger lay gracefully on a giant rock, its body wreathed in crimson flames, like a god of fire.

The other Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion also each occupied a prime spot, enjoying this rare cultivation opportunity to their hearts' content.

As for those small demons with low cultivation, they could only watch from afar, their eyes filled with envy and longing.

They were like a group of devout believers, worshipping these powerful existences, hoping that one day they too could be like them and possess such powerful strength.

Zhang Yi's family hid in a secluded corner where the spiritual energy was thin, and almost no energy fluctuations could be felt.

Zhang Yi's injuries were healing very slowly and throbbed with pain, making him restless.

He turned over and accidentally tugged at his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Hiss..." He uncontrollably flapped his wings, stirring up a breeze.

This disturbed Nudi, who was resting with her eyes closed nearby.

Nudi opened her eyes and stared coldly at Zhang Yi, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Do you have lice on you? Why are you so restless?"

Zhang Yi rubbed his wound and retorted irritably: "No lice, I'm hungry! Share some of your spiritual fruits with me."

Nudi rolled her eyes and cursed him "shameless" under her breath.

But she still took a few spiritual fruits exuding an alluring fragrance from her Storage Bag and threw them to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi caught them and didn't stand on ceremony.

He started gnawing on them immediately, juice splattering everywhere.

While eating, he said unclearly: "Thanks, beauty!"

Nudi glanced at him with disgust, turned her head away, and ignored him.

The Pterosaur watched from the side, mouth watering, and sidled up to Zhang Yi, rubbing his hands together and grinning: "Brother, good things should be shared, give me a few to taste too!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Go get your own, I'm saving mine for Xiao Pu."

Saying this, he stuffed the remaining spiritual fruits into his pocket.

At the same time.

At the edge of the Hexinquyu, several shifty-looking small demons were sneakily observing Xiong Batian.

Xiong Batian was currently immersed in cultivation, with a vortex of spiritual energy surging around his massive body, emitting bursts of low, deep rumbling sounds, like a slumbering ancient behemoth.

"Big Brother, are we really going to tell Boss Xiongba?" a small demon said timidly, its claws nervously rubbing against the ground.

Another small demon rolled its eyes and smiled obsequiously: "What are you afraid of? We are only responsible for passing on the news; currying favor with Boss Xiongba is the real priority! That kid offended Boss Xiongba, so if we turn him in, Boss Xiongba will be happy and give us rewards, and we can share in the benefits too!"

"Right, right, right! Boss is wise!"

The other small demons chimed in one after another, their eyes flickering with greedy light.

Thus, these few small demons plucked up their courage and tiptoed toward Xiong Batian, and one of the small demons shouted in a shrill voice: "Boss Xiongba! Boss Xiongba! We have an important matter to report!"
