Chapter 37: The Nudi's Grand Plan to Get Rich

"Even after becoming a Great Demon, it still can't change the habit of relieving itself wherever it pleases."

"How disgusting!"

Nudi and Zhang Yi, the two birds, flapped their wings with looks of disdain, as if they felt this could somehow diminish that pungent stench of urine.

Conversely, Ju Niao Mu Qin and the others seemed as if they hadn't smelled this sharp, pungent odor at all.

At this moment, they were already charging toward the wolf demon's cave with excited expressions.

Seeing that they had already rushed inside, perhaps worried that the good things would be snatched up by them.

In the end, Nudi and Zhang Yi still suppressed their disgust and bit the bullet as they walked toward the direction of the cave.

……

After entering the cave, Zhang Yi immediately activated his "Insight Eye" to perceive his surroundings.

Based on his observations and the perception of the residual Spirit Energy within the cave, the creature that once lived here should have been a wolf demon with a cultivation level of at least the third rank of Great Demon.

This was only after the dual baptism of the Beast Tide and the Blood Shadow Demon Tiger; otherwise, given Zhang Yi and the others' previous cultivation levels, the first thing they would have thought of upon seeing such an existence would be to run as far away as possible.

Looking around, there was actually nothing particularly precious or high-grade in this cave; what was laid out were basically some leftover Demon Beast flesh and blood, bones, beast hides, and some everyday herbs and spirit fruits that could be seen everywhere.

From the furnishings in the other party's cave, it was not hard to judge that when this wolf demon was alive, its life probably wasn't considered very wealthy.

At this moment, Zhang Yi did not know that the reason they had crashed so early on was mainly because they had overlooked a key issue.

Currently, the area they were in was already the edge of the Core Zone of this forest.

The Great Demons living here were at the very least third or fourth-rank Great Demons; beings like the wolf demon were basically able to walk sideways in the outer regions.

Once they reached this place, they could basically be ignored.

These guys could only rely on hunting some Demon Beasts to improve their own cultivation levels on a daily basis.

What's more, Great Demons like the wolf demon actually didn't have very high requirements for food.

The wolf demons here were basically no different from the dogs kept by every household in the human world.

Most were omnivores, basically eating whatever they could find, and there was no such thing as being a picky eater.

If they wanted to make a fortune, they would have to go deeper.

Seeing that there didn't seem to be any profit to be made, Zhang Yi and the others simply couldn't be bothered to waste any more time in this place.

After they searched roughly and confirmed that there was nothing of particular value in this cave, they left directly.

Coming out of the cave, the high spirits Zhang Yi originally had were now completely gone.

Originally, he had wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune, but who would have thought it would end up like this.

Perhaps sensing that the mood on Zhang Yi's face was a bit low.

The Pterosaur on the side played the role of a good big brother at this moment.

"Brother, don't be discouraged!"

"It's just a wasted trip. If this place doesn't work, we'll just change to the next place."

"As a big brother, I dare not say anything else, but I have never yielded to anyone when it comes to speed!"

"Let's go, let's head deeper into the forest. I don't believe that after putting in so much effort, we really won't be able to find a single good thing!"

"This..."

Just as Zhang Yi showed hesitation, not knowing whether to continue or not.

At this time, the small demon who was responsible for leading the way earlier seemed to have heard some important information from their conversation.

"A few of you, judging by what you just said, you traveled all this way here—could it be that you want to go treasure hunting?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Seeing the other party admit it, the small demon then continued: "Then I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Yi and Nudi looked at the other party with puzzled expressions.

"A few of you, you probably don't know yet, but in our area, all who live here are Great Demons who have already opened their spiritual wisdom. These Great Demons, even if they find something valuable on a daily basis that they cannot use themselves, they will learn from humans and take these things to the Yaoshi to exchange for things they can use."

"So, if you want to rely on picking up scraps to get rich, I advise you to save your breath!"

Hearing the other party say this, Zhang Yi suddenly realized.

It seems that not only is the human world progressing, but the world of demons is also progressing!

To tell the truth, if this small demon hadn't enlightened him, he probably wouldn't have been able to imagine, even if he racked his brains, that these demons would one day stop being honest demons and instead learn from humans to run some Yaoshi.

Now this is great; not only did they not gain any benefits, but they even lost a spirit fruit.

Where is he supposed to go to reason this out?

Just as he was at his wit's end, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, Nudi on the side seemed to have sniffed out some business opportunity.

She suddenly took a stride and leaned in front of the small demon.

"I heard you say there is a Yaoshi deep in this jungle, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Didn't I just say that, this..."

Hearing this, Nudi immediately became incredibly excited, but her action scared the small demon who had been leading the way for them quite a bit.

He thought the female bird in front of him wanted to do something indescribable to him.

Fortunately, Nudi quickly calmed down again.

"So that's how it is!"

Nudi murmured softly.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Zhang Yi on the side: "If I remember correctly, you should still have quite a few good things, right?"

"You... what do you mean?"

Facing the unfriendly gaze of Nudi, Zhang Yi suddenly had the illusion that he was about to be robbed.

"Little girl, I advise you to behave yourself; it would be best not to set your sights on these things of mine. Otherwise, I, as your older brother, wouldn't mind teaching you how to be a proper demon!"

While speaking, Zhang Yi deliberately revealed a gaze he considered to be extremely fierce and domineering.

Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Nudi immediately shook her head repeatedly.

Following that, she laid out her thoughts completely.

"My good brother, you must not misunderstand!"

"I have no intention of coveting those treasures of yours."

"I thought of a good idea; if this plan of mine can be implemented, I'm afraid that even without us rushing about everywhere, we might just make a tidy fortune this time!"

Hearing the other party say this, Zhang Yi was actually already a bit tempted at this moment.

However, out of caution, he still looked at Nudi with a vigilant expression for a long while before speaking in a deep, hesitant voice.

"You say there is a chance to make a fortune?"

"You aren't trying to trick me, are you!"

"I am warning you, if I find out that you dare to trick me, even if I don't say it, you should be able to imagine the consequences!"
