Chapter 35: A Different Kind of

Hearing this guy say this, Zhang Yi, who had originally been a bit wilted, instantly perked up.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Could it be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Pterodactyl on the side spoke up again.

"Even though this Great Demon is dead, it doesn't mean we don't have any chance at all!"

"Regardless, this guy was, at the very least, an existence that nearly broke through the shackles of a Great Demon."

"As long as we are fast enough, we might still be able to pick up some scraps!"

"Taking a step back, even if we can't get the big fish or meat, just cleaning up some leftovers and seeing the world a bit should be enough to keep you kid happy for a while!"

"What's more, there is the Arena Competition held by the Demon Saint afterward!"

"If you guys can take this opportunity to luckily come out on top, just think..."

Although Long Ge did not finish his words, every bird present understood the subtext.

However, just as Zhang Yi and the others were preparing to pack their bags and hurry off,

Nudi poured a bucket of cold water on everyone at this timely moment.

"You can forget about picking up any scraps!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Yi looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you hear just now? This matter has already alarmed the Demon Saint of this place!"

"You wouldn't naively think that this Demon Saint traveled thousands of miles here just to pass on an order, would you?"

Nudi looked at Zhang Yi and the others, who were clearly deflated, with a proud face.

If it came to other things, she, as Nudi, might not be able to compare to these guys present.

But when it came to knowledge and the like, it was unlikely that all these guys present tied together could catch up to her.

Even the Pterodactyl, this guy who had lived for who knows how many years, was no match for her.

After all, this glutton did nothing but eat, eat, and eat from morning till night, and basically ignored everything else.

He probably didn't even know that the reason this Demon Saint sent the order was definitely because the other party had already cleared the battlefield.

At this point, even if they rushed over, they probably wouldn't have any major gains.

You have to know that any Great Demon above the fifth tier is registered and on file in the Demon Saint Mansion.

Once a Great Demon dies, the Demon Saint Mansion receives the news immediately.

It was only because the commotion caused by the Nine-Tier Great Demon, the Blood Shadow Demon Tiger, was too big and too sudden that the Demon Saint Mansion didn't manage to rush over to clean up the mess in time.

Otherwise, given the cultivation level Zhang Yi and the others had at that time, they probably wouldn't have been able to take advantage of anything.

The corpses and caves of those Great Demons would have long since been thoroughly looted by those guys from the Demon Saint Mansion.

You must know that any Demon Beast capable of cultivating to the Great Demon realm is no mediocre being.

Even after these guys die, they are full of treasures in the human world.

In the eyes of the humans of this world.

These Great Demon corpses themselves are like walking treasure vaults.

From the bones, Demon Cores, and Demon Crystals on these Great Demons, down to their flesh, blood, and fur, everything is a rare and priceless treasure.

In the eyes of human cultivators, things like bones, Demon Cores, and Demon Crystals can be used to refine top-tier magic treasures, ornaments, or armor.

As for the fur and flesh, they can be used to make clothes or delicacies.

Therefore, the higher the level of the Great Demon, the more valuable it is in the human world.

By the same token, as the Demon Saint Mansion that governs a region, how could they possibly let these treasures, which are priceless in the human world, go to waste?

So, under normal circumstances, the Demon Saint Mansion usually dispatches specialists to collect these Great Demon corpses afterward.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

For instance, the first-tier Great Demon mountain spirit that Zhang Yi and the others hunted at the beginning.

That guy's corpse was divided up by Zhang Yi and the others before the Demon Saint Mansion had time to collect it.

For one thing, the speed at which Zhang Yi and the others fought was truly too fast; the Demon Saint Mansion hadn't even had time to react before they had already finished the battle.

Another thing was that the timing of the Nine-Tier Blood Shadow Demon Tiger's rampage was just too perfect.

If not for that, Zhang Yi and the others would never have obtained that opportunity so easily.

Seeing Nudi's analysis make perfect sense, the few guys who had originally been excited to see the world instantly hung their heads.

In the end, it was Zhang Yi who stabilized his emotions first.

He suddenly looked up at the smug-looking Nudi.

"Since you know so much, why don't you tell us what we should do next?"

"It's simple, of course we go to participate in the Arena Competition organized by the Demon Marshal Mansion!"

"I suspect the commotion the Blood Shadow Demon Tiger caused this time was too big, and on top of that, we were lucky enough."

"The one responsible for cleaning up the mess this time is actually the Demon Marshal himself!"

"Under normal circumstances, matters involving Nine-Tier Great Demons are usually handled by the Demon Marshal's subordinates."

"After they finish cleaning up, they usually take these things directly into the Demon Marshal Mansion's inventory."

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be because the commotion caused by the Blood Shadow Demon Tiger was so great that many caves with spiritual veins in this forest were left empty, which is why the Demon Marshal had to step in personally to stabilize the situation."

"Since the Demon Marshal has personally stepped out this time, if our good luck continues, I think the reward for this competition will very likely be the corpse of that Blood Shadow Demon Tiger!"

"We might even end up with a cave rich in spiritual energy to inhabit!"

Speaking of this, the corners of Nudi's mouth couldn't help but lift into a smug arc.

Ever since their lair was burned down by a fire when Zhang Yi awakened his Jinwu bloodline earlier.

These days, they have basically had no peace.

Every day has been a bitter life of displacement and wandering everywhere.

To tell the truth, Nudi can't even remember how long it has been since she last had a proper rest or taken a bath.

If they could be lucky enough to be allocated a Dongfu or something this time.

Not only would they not need to wander around in the future, but they wouldn't even have to worry about other Demon Beasts or Great Demons suddenly appearing to interrupt them while they were cultivating or resting.

After all, the cave spirit veins distributed by the Demon Saint Mansion are all recorded.

Even if the owner were to change, it would have to be approved by the Demon Saint Mansion.

This point is basically the same as things like property deeds or land deeds in the human world.

Once any demon dares to break into another Great Demon's cave without the permission of the Demon Saint Mansion, it means they are provoking the Demon Saint Mansion.

By then, even if Zhang Yi and the others do not make a move, the Demon Saint Mansion will absolutely not let the intruder go.

You must know that the territorial awareness of the demon race is many times stronger than that of humans.

Having heard this logical analysis from Nudi.

Zhang Yi, at this moment, seems to have sniffed out some different "business opportunities."

Just then, he suddenly turned his head to look at the Wind God Pterosaur, which was lying on his back with its eyes closed to rest its spirit...
