Chapter 141: First Encounter with the Demon Race!

At this current point in time, it is the season that occurs once every three years for humans to enter Canglan Mountain and sign contracts with Spirit Beasts.

At this time, the winners of the Da Jin Hundred Schools League, as well as the children of the nobility from various clans, have also left the border during this period to enter Canglan Mountain.

However, Luo Shuiyan and her group are not taking the same path as those Beast Tamers heading to Canglan Mountain.

After Luo Shuiyan led everyone out of the border, they traveled across the vast plains outside.

This vast area is extremely desolate, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi is much lower than in Canglan Mountain.

However, many low-level Spirit Beasts live here.

This has also fostered a situation where Spirit Beast traffickers are rampant in this place.

Many people come here specifically to capture low-level Spirit Beasts, pack them into cages, and take them back to the cities to sell.

There are many such people, and they have almost formed a professional industrial chain, distributing them to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although this behavior is detested by the Spirit Race, for so many years, the Spirit Race has not sent any true powerhouses to deal with this matter.

Because these Spirit Beast traffickers mainly capture Spirit Beasts to sell them to Beast Tamers for signing contracts.

Since they are not being slaughtered or treated as slaves, the Spirit Race does not particularly intervene.

Furthermore, nowadays, the trend of the Human Race and the Spirit Race signing contracts and cooperating to become stronger is already a major trend.

These low-level Spirit Beasts living on the plains sign contracts with Beast Tamers, and both sides can achieve success through each other.

From a certain perspective, it can be considered a good thing, and this situation has persisted for many years.

"Sister Shui Yan, are we still going to keep heading out? If we go any further, we will be close to the Demon Race's territory."

After leaving the pass, Luo Shuiyan led the group and walked for several hours.

Yi Zimeng asked with some curiosity.

"No more walking; we will stay here."

Luo Shuiyan glanced around and saw that it was extremely desolate; in the Stone Forest, the vegetation was much sparser than in other regions.

Even looking up, one could not see a dense forest, only a barren expanse.

Moreover, in this world, one could faintly see a trace of Turbid Qi drifting about.

This is enough to show that the location where Luo Shuiyan and her group are currently situated is already very close to the border of the Demon Race.

This Turbid Qi is the energy absorbed by the Demon Race.

As long as an area is occupied by the Demon Race, it will not be long before the Spiritual Qi in this area is gradually corrupted into Turbid Qi, becoming energy that the Demon Race can absorb.

This is also the best way for the Human Race and the Spirit Race to distinguish the Demon Race.

That is the difference in their cultivation techniques, and it is precisely because of this that the two sides have always been in opposition.

It is also because of this that it is basically impossible for the Human Race and the Demon Race to plant moles in each other's ranks; it is very easy to be exposed.

"We have reached the Stone Beach; the Secret Realm from my past-life memories appeared right here."

"It's just a pity that in my past life, I didn't think much of it at all, and coupled with how desolate this place is, it is truly quite difficult to find the exact location..."

Luo Shuiyan silently sized up her surroundings and murmured in her heart.

After this Secret Realm appeared in her past life, it quickly caused a huge uproar.

Within just a few hours, a great war between humans and demons broke out.

For a time, powerhouses from all sides gathered here, and the battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack, with sand flying and stones rolling.

The chaotic battle of so many powerhouses had already changed the surrounding environment, making it impossible to distinguish the exact location.

"This woman ran all the way here; she must be looking for trouble..."

"Shui Yan, could it be that we are going to deal with those Demon Race members now?"

Luo Shuiyan had never stated her purpose, and even Jiang Che did not know what they were doing here, so he simply asked directly.

Come to think of it, he is still Luo Shuiyan's master; the contract they signed back then was not an equal one. Jiang Che, who originally just wanted to lie flat and relax, never expected that the seemingly gentle and lovely Luo Shuiyan would be so fond of causing trouble.

Every time, it is extremely risky, and she never explains things clearly.

She always drags it out until the last moment to speak; this cannot go on.

After all, he is a Human Tamer, and Jiang Che does not want to be kept in the dark forever.

Hearing Jiang Che's persistent questioning, Luo Shuiyan had no choice but to reveal everything.

"I came here because, in my past-life memories, a Secret Realm will appear in this area before long!"

"That Secret Realm is the ruins of an Ancient Sect of the Human Race, but the most critical point is that a Demon Race powerhouse is sealed within this Secret Realm!"

Recalling the chaotic battle between multiple factions in her past life, a flash of wariness crossed Luo Shuiyan's eyes.

"This Secret Realm is no small matter; if it is not handled well this time, the Demon Race will directly go to war with Great Jin."

"And that kind of battle is not like the usual small skirmishes."

"It is different from the previous border frictions; it will be a true large-scale war between the two sides, even to the point of invading cities and seizing territory!"

Luo Shuiyan's tone was somewhat grave.

After hearing this information, Jiang Che's expression also became somewhat solemn.

From Luo Shuiyan, he had already learned quite a bit of news regarding the Demon Race.

"Regardless of anything else, if there are any plans in the future, you must tell me in advance."

Jiang Che truly does not like this feeling of being kept in the dark by others.

Subsequently, the four of them stayed near this Stone Beach and waited for several days in succession.

Suddenly, one day, Jiang Che woke up with a start.

At this moment, in his Holographic Perspective, someone was rapidly approaching from the direction opposite to the Great Jin fortress at the Stone Beach.

To be precise, it was a humanoid creature! The existence that appeared in Jiang Che's Holographic Perspective was three meters tall and had a very robust build.

Its entire body was pitch black, and it even had things similar to bull horns growing on its forehead, just like the Bull Demon King from Jiang Che's past life.

Jiang Che reacted immediately; this was most likely the Demon Race that Luo Shuiyan had mentioned many times.

Seeing this strange creature for the first time, Jiang Che was also a bit nervous and immediately used his skill for Investigation.

"Demon Race, Four-Star Emperor Grade."

"Looking so strange, I thought it was some kind of expert, but it's just a Four-Star Emperor Grade piece of trash..."

After seeing the specific information of the newcomer, Jiang Che didn't care at all.

Although the newcomer was a member of the Demon Race, such strength was not enough to make Jiang Che wary.

Jiang Che then relayed the news of the Demon Race member's approach to Luo Shuiyan and the others.

"A mere Four-Star Emperor Grade; this Demon Race person is likely here to gain experience at the border, it's of no consequence."

"Where there are Demon Race in the border regions, there are naturally Demon Hunters as well."

"The army of our Great Jin Dynasty also dispatches small squads to patrol the border, and they often have skirmishes with these Demon Race people."

After learning of the opponent's strength from Jiang Che, Luo Shuiyan was also completely unconcerned about it.

However, although the opponent was no match for her, she could let Lin Xue'er and the other two practice on them.

"I'll leave this guy to you three; fighting against the Demon Race is unavoidable in the future, so get familiar with it in advance."

Luo Shuiyan said to the three of them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue'er was immediately eager to try.

"Then let me do it; Dandan hasn't fought at all since hatching, so it's perfect to use this Demon Race member to practice."
