Chapter 217: Demon Heart
Meng Su walked up to the fierce woman and said earnestly, "Cousin, don't make trouble. Uncle promised to leave the family property to me long ago, so don't stir up trouble everywhere. This is what I deserve. Where were you when Uncle was sick? And where were you when Uncle died and no one asked? What's so good about this man? You were so determined to elope with him back then. Everything I have is what Uncle agreed to. It's useless no matter how much you don't accept it."
"Ah? Who is your cousin? Military master, don't believe his nonsense, I don't know him at all." The fierce woman jumped up and shouted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Meng Su took out a gold ingot, weighing a full ten taels, weighed it in his hand, and threw it to the officer, saying, "I am a small business, and I don't have much savings usually. This is for you military masters to drink tea."
The officer grabbed the gold, beamed with joy, and said, "Brother is still sensible. We are not interested in your family affairs. Brothers, let's go."
The officer took his men and turned the horse's head to leave. Before leaving, he looked at the fierce woman meaningfully. This look made the fierce woman feel terrified.
The fierce woman looked at Meng Su fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "You are ruthless, you little bastard, don't let me catch you, I will definitely make you a real beggar."
Meng Su looked back at the fierce woman. The fierce woman saw the sea of corpses and mountains of blood in Meng Su's eyes. A chill fell directly into the bottom of the fierce woman's heart, like a heavy hammer hitting the fierce woman's heart.
The fierce woman turned pale, took a step back, and spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly losing her life. She didn't dare to look at Meng Su anymore and hid in her room.
Meng Su couldn't be bothered to care about an ordinary person, but it didn't mean he could be insulted at will. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Su didn't want to cause more trouble, this look would have killed the fierce woman directly.
Meng Su returned to his shop. Yaya said to Meng Su unhappily, "Why didn't we kill that stupid woman? I don't like her, I'll go and kill her tonight."
Meng Su waved his hand and said, "Forget it, why bother with an ordinary person? Let's do our own thing. We'll leave here in a few days."
"Alright." Yaya went to tidy up the house angrily.
In the mountain hollow, several groups of demon hunters began to get busy everywhere. Yan Chiyu and several fellow senior brothers lived in Meng Su's original wooden house.
Three days later, the reinforcements of the Demon Hunting Sect arrived. The leader was Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia brought the treasure of the Demon Hunting Sect: the Demon Refining Pot.
The Demon Refining Pot had a function, which was to locate the demon's tracks. Through the Demon Refining Pot, one could find the location of the demon.
Yan Chixia had returned to the Demon Saint initial stage at this time, having lost the memory of the Talisman Hall. The Talisman Hall was cultivating a demon art and wanted to use Yan Chixia to enter the world and temper himself among all living things.
The two senior brothers studied the information sent by the Demon Refining Pot for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: the giant demon was underground, strictly speaking, in the belly of the mountain.
The two of them took several junior brothers and turned around a large mountain. They took out a compass, and the needle on the compass swung wildly, showing that this mountain was a magnet mountain.
There were many magnet mountains here, which were the source of the iron ore for iron smelting in Shentie Town, and the giant demon was in the belly of the largest magnet mountain.
Yan Chiyu looked at the mountain peak helplessly and shook his head at Yan Chixia, saying, "Give up, it's impossible for us to break open this entire mountain. Even if we break it open, such a giant demon will escape."
Yan Chixia looked up at the mountain peak and said, "Not necessarily. This entire area is iron ore. If there is ore, it will form a mineral vein. If there is a mineral vein, there will be an underground canyon. We only need to approach the giant demon from below, then we can set up an array to trap the giant demon, and through manual excavation, we can find the giant demon."
Yan Chiyu said disappointedly, "I thought of this method you mentioned, but I have been looking for a long time these past few days and didn't find an underground canyon. It's not a small project to find an underground canyon in this boundless snow."
Yan Chixia looked into the distance and said, "I seem to have encountered demon cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect on the way here. We can use their 'Earth-Listening Beast' to find the canyon."
Yan Chiyu smiled bitterly, "How could they cooperate with us? We bumped into them several times while hunting demons, and you beat them black and blue. How could they cooperate with us?"
Yan Chixia smiled slightly, "If they don't agree, we'll just rob them. It's impossible for them to bring demon beasts above the third grade to hunt demons, otherwise the aura of a second-grade giant demon would scare away all the demon beasts nearby, so what would they hunt?"
Yan Chiyu gave Yan Chixia a thumbs up, "Senior brother is awesome."
Saying it and doing it, the two began to arrange. The so-called arrangement was very simple, which was to ambush on the road that the Beast Taming Sect must take.
The Beast Taming Sect was a large sect on the edge of the Monster Forest, specializing in training beasts, with countless third-grade demon beasts and countless demon beasts, with strong strength, but their personal cultivation was not high. They came out to hunt demons, and it was impossible to bring second-grade demon beasts to protect them. Otherwise, the aura of a second-grade giant demon would scare away all the demon beasts nearby, so what would they hunt?
Soon, more than ten people appeared in front of Yan Chixia and Yan Chiyu, holding demon beasts that looked like pangolins: "Earth-Listening."
The two jumped up from the snow. After a fist and foot exchange, the two took away an Earth-Listening beast.
The demon cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect followed the two senior brothers from afar with bruised noses and swollen faces, preparing to wait for an opportunity to snatch the giant demon.
Soon, the Earth-Listening beast found the underground canyon, and Yan Chiyu came to Shentie Town to hire people to excavate. Meng Su was among them.
Meng Su also wanted to see what this so-called giant demon was? And one more point, Meng Su wanted to find metal similar to divine gold, so as to forge a kitchen knife that could withstand his powerful knife intent. It would save him from having no knife to use in the future.
By intuition, in such a large iron mine, it was possible to produce a little divine gold.
The ground was dug open, explosives were used to blow a hole in the ground, and then under the leadership of Yan Chixia, everyone filed in.
The huge explosion nearly caused an avalanche. It attracted all the demon-hunting monks who came here to look for opportunities.
Everyone soon discovered this hole and then all entered the underground canyon.
In the underground canyon, everything seen was dark red iron ore like blood, and there were no huge stones. So sometimes when they reached the end of the canyon, they used the Earth-Listening beast to find the way again, re-excavated, and opened up the passage again.
After half a month of hard work, they finally approached the belly of the mountain where the giant demon was.
Everyone turned a corner and came to a huge underground world. This was a huge space, like a square, seven or eight miles in size. In the middle was a rolling lava pool. Above the lava pool hung a huge heart.
The heart was black, the size of a human head, and it was not beating, nor did it have any demon power, like a heart made of iron.
Seeing this heart, Yan Chixia and Yan Chiyu were like facing a great enemy. Both of them were fully prepared, and they sent away the villagers who were mining. Meng Su followed quietly behind and did not leave.
After waiting for a long time, the heart showed no reaction. In Meng Su's opinion, this heart should be a dead object, and it was exactly the divine iron he wanted.
Just when Meng Su wanted to step forward and ask Yan Chixia for this heart, the heart suddenly moved.
With a "thump," this sound was like an earthquake, and a huge energy centered on the heart and spread outward. ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
