Chapter 3675: Can Communicate

Each battle against fifteen demon humans is still very easy for Ye Liuyun and his companions. They even helped the Clone Puppet capture another demon human that can release yin fire.

The demon humans Ye Liuyun's group previously captured were imprisoned by the Clone Puppet, but because they have been unable to absorb Demon Qi for a long time, their strength has been dwindling. Their usefulness to the Clone Puppet is now diminishing.

So after that battle, the Clone Puppet released all the captured prisoners, letting them seize the chance to absorb some of the local Demon Qi and regain some strength.

However, although they can absorb, Ye Liuyun can see that these demon humans, having fought desperately by unleashing power, now have an imbalance of Demon Qi in their bodies—some lack Demon Qi, others lack demonic Qi.

"First gather them up, seal them with a rune Formation, and after we secure this place, send them to the Altar to cultivate."

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the Clone Puppet to stop draining these demon humans, and also had Sun Que use the captured materials to forge chains that can bind the demon humans.

The chains must bear a sealing Formation; once a demon human is bound by them, they become no different from ordinary people, unable to exert any power, even unable to perform Spiritual Soul Attacks. This prevents them from becoming too strong and posing a threat.

After dealing with the demon humans caught in that Formation, Ye Liuyun and his group subsequently received alerts about other Formation traps, and began busily hunting demon humans everywhere.

When they encounter demon humans with special abilities, Ye Liuyun tries to keep them for study to discover the source of those abilities. However, they have been unable to communicate with these demon humans, which Ye Liuyun finds very regrettable.

He worries that if all these demon humans are killed, the dungeon will lose its barrier, and the free‑labor Demon Beasts might escape.

At that moment, the Demon Beast Egg he had previously corrupted finally showed signs of movement; a crackling sound came from within the shell, and cracks appeared on the egg.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly took out the Demon Beast Egg, wondering what might hatch. The Demon Qi and blood he had infused had already been absorbed by the egg, but he didn't know whether the creature that would hatch would recognize him.

As the cracks on the shell widened, a pitch‑black Demon Beast emerged from inside. With a "squeak," the beast lifted its head, spread its wings, and surveyed the surroundings.

"It's the descendant that looks like a pterosaur."

Although the little creature was small, Ye Liuyun recognized it at a glance.

However, this Demon Beast's head resembled a dragon head—square nose and wide mouth—quite different from a pterosaur.

After circling around, the Demon Beast chirped twice, and upon finding no conspecifics that looked like it, it even spat a small flame from its mouth, showing its displeasure.

"Ha ha, this little guy can even spit fire!"

Lei Ming found the Demon Beast cute, reached out to grab it for a closer look.

Ye Liuyun remained silent, staring at the Demon Beast to see if it recognized him. If it didn't, he would have to kill it outright.

Unexpectedly, the little creature, seeing Lei Ming reach for it, shrank its neck in fear and fluttered its wings, fleeing toward Ye Liuyun.

What shocked everyone even more was that the little creature spoke: "Master, hurry and save me! I'm about to be eaten!"

The creature whined plaintively, as if Lei Ming truly intended to eat it.

"That little bastard can actually talk!" Lei Ming, shocked, withdrew his hand, unsure what kind of monster it was.

Only then did Ye Liuyun reach out and seize the demon dragon in his hand. The demon dragon was now only palm‑sized, and only when it spread its two wings did its size appear larger.

"Why do you call me master?" Ye Liuyun asked the demon dragon directly.

"I have my master's imprint in my Sea of Consciousness!" the demon dragon confirmed.

Speaking, the demon dragon also released its feeble

Soul, allowing Ye Liuyun to verify.

But after seeing its Soul, Ye Liuyun dared not perform Soul Search, fearing that, as before, he might instantly shatter its Soul.

Yet the demon dragon pointed to a sigil on its Soul and introduced it to Ye Liuyun, saying that it was its Soul sigil, condensed from Ye Liuyun's Demon Qi and blood.

Ye Liuyun couldn't tell truth from falsehood, so he chose to believe for now, planning to perform Soul Search after the Demon Beast cultivates two Souls to confirm.

At that moment, the demon dragon also spotted a demon human corpse underground and proactively said to Ye Liuyun, "Master, I'm hungry; may I have this corpse?"

Ye Liuyun didn't hesitate and agreed. The little demon dragon then leapt straight from Ye Liuyun's hand, crashing onto the corpse. Though it still couldn't fly, it dared to jump down—a bold move.

Then the demon dragon began gnawing the demon human. At first it could only chew the flesh, unable to bite the bones.

But its growth was rapid; after half an hour, its size doubled, sharp teeth sprouted, and it started gnawing the demon human's skull directly.

"This thing grows fast, even faster than Demon Beasts!" Lei Ming, the nine‑headed demon dragon, and Demon Lions among the Demon Beasts all exclaimed.

"As long as there's enough food, I can grow quickly!" the Demon Beast said while eating, adding a remark to them.

"This little one's spiritual intelligence seems far higher than that of the Demon Beasts here!"

Ye Liuyun watched the Demon Beast, muttering to himself. He also wondered how this Demon Beast had mutated; the parents of the Demon Beast he previously encountered didn't seem particularly intelligent.

"Qian Huan, cast an Illusion Realm on it and check its memories!" Ye Liuyun immediately voiced his suspicion to Qian Huan, asking him to try using Illusion Realm to probe its memories.

The result showed that the little creature now recognized only Ye Liuyun as its master. Whenever Ye Liuyun asked directly, it would tell the truth. Nevertheless, Qian Huan still created an Illusion Realm where Ye Liuyun was questioning it, prompting it to discuss the high spiritual intelligence issue.

"Master, I was about to hatch, but after absorbing your Demon Qi and blood, I evolved, and my Soul mutated, causing me to sleep for several more months before awakening."

The little demon dragon could recall its own changes; such spiritual intelligence even surprised Ye Liuyun.

"What purpose do you serve?" Ye Liuyun, after having Qian Huan cancel the Illusion Realm, asked the little demon dragon directly.

"I can spit fire and have inherited my master's thunder‑electric power!" the little demon dragon said while stuffing a freshly dug demon human Crystal Core into its mouth and pointing to its forehead.

Ye Liuyun saw that the demon dragon indeed bore a blue lightning sigil on its head.

"Is that sigil innate to your race, or can it be acquired later?" Ye Liuyun asked further. Recently the re‑encoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
