Chapter 406: Defensive Version of the Five-Colored Divine Light (Three-in-One Chapter, Requesting Everything)

"Let me go, quickly let me go!"

The four-winged fallen angel was now very panicked; he knew very well what this meant, so he braced his hands against Aixi's body as she pressed down on him, wanting to forcibly push her away.

After all, this was a Leader-level Demon Pet; even if its physique was far inferior to Aixi's, it still possessed powerful strength.

After creating some space, the four-winged fallen angel took the opportunity to throw a punch, which landed on Aixi's soft abdomen.

Roar—

In pain, Aixi let out an angry roar and slapped out with a paw again.

Crack—

This time, it directly snapped the four-winged fallen angel's right arm.

Even in his anger, Aixi still did not forget to leave him alive.

"Ah!"

The four-winged fallen angel clutched his right arm and let out a miserable scream; what made him despair was that, at this moment, seven Flying Demon Pets had already surrounded him completely.

After his wings were snapped, even if he successfully broke free from Aixi, he would have no way to escape.

The next moment, countless vines drilled out from the ground, binding the four-winged fallen angel tightly.

Only then did Li Changsheng stand before him, looking down at the four-winged fallen angel.

The four-winged fallen angel's handsome features carried a hint of wickedness and gloom, making him quite favored by some female Monster Tamers.

This was also a characteristic of the angel race, though both angels and fallen angels were asexual beings; they could not reproduce among themselves, and legend had it that they were born from a special World Wonder.

Of course, this was just a legend.

"Next, I ask, you answer! If your answers satisfy me, perhaps I will spare your life! Of course, you can also choose to commit suicide!"

Li Changsheng smoothed his hair; if it were a holy angel, he would not have said the last sentence, but the one before him was a fallen angel.

Fallen angels were a type of evil and chaotic Spirit Beast; selfishness, betrayal, and greed could be considered traits of evil and chaotic-aligned Spirit Beasts.

This four-winged fallen angel was clearly no exception.

"Really? You aren't lying to me?"

The four-winged fallen angel seemed to have grasped at the last straw.

"Do you think I have any need to lie to you? Of course, you can choose not to answer!"

The four-winged fallen angel fell silent for a moment, then could only nod helplessly.

At this point, to survive, he could only try his best to satisfy Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng looked down at the four-winged fallen angel and asked, "First question, who is your master?"

"Cai Yangqian!"

The four-winged fallen angel felt this question was unimportant and chose to answer without hesitation.

Li Changsheng revealed an expression of 'as expected' and continued to ask, "How is his strength?"

This time, the four-winged fallen angel was clearly hesitant, but upon seeing Li Changsheng's impatient expression, he still answered truthfully in the end.

"Including me, he has a total of three Leader-level Demon Pets and five Leader-level Demon Pets, but I haven't seen him for more than two months, so there might be some discrepancies!"

"What about his Monster Tamer rank?"

Even though they hadn't met for over two months, the four-winged fallen angel could still sense the other's change in rank through the mental connection between him and Cai Yangqian.

"He is still Fifth Rank!"

"You can tell me in detail about the news regarding Cai Yangkun and the Cai Clan; the more you say, the greater your chance of survival!"

I am the fish and the meat, they are the knife and the chopping block!

The four-winged fallen angel thought for a moment, and in order to survive, he had no choice but to narrate what he knew.

As for whether he was 'padding' it with his own agenda, Li Changsheng, lacking any lie-detecting treasures or Secret Techniques, could only rely on his own subjective judgment.

"Last question, does Cai Yangkun have any secrets?"

"Secrets? I don't think so!"

The four-winged fallen angel hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something else, and said, "If you really want to talk about secrets, it seems only that he is often able to obtain various Divine Beast or Exotic Beast Spirit Essence, allowing his Demon Pets to evolve time and time again. It's just that I don't know how he manages to get these Spirit Essences!"

Clearly, the four-winged fallen angel did not know about the Book of Bloodlines and could only judge based on his own speculation.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

In order to stay alive, the four-winged fallen angel couldn't help but use an honorific, though in his heart, he wished he could tear Li Changsheng into a thousand pieces.

Evil and chaotic-aligned Spirit Beasts also possessed the trait of holding grudges.

"Whether I am satisfied or not is not for me to say, but did you think I didn't know you had already broken free from the vines' restraints?"

Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow, stepped back a distance, and watched the four-winged fallen angel with a look that was not quite a smile.

While the two were questioning each other, the four-winged fallen angel had also been secretly breaking the vines, preparing to capture Li Changsheng at a critical moment.

Unfortunately, although his movements were concealed, how could they escape the observation of Mental Power?

Exposed by Li Changsheng's words, the four-winged fallen angel's body stiffened instantly, and a look of terror appeared on his face, because Aixi had slapped out again.

This time, it was aimed directly at his head.

The four-winged fallen angel had no choice but to use a 'lazy donkey roll' to avoid Aixi's attack, but he was still struck in the back by Aixi, directly spitting out a mouthful of grayish-black blood, and fell into a near-death state.

Just then, Kailan angrily brandished her Sharpness Leaf Blade and, under the four-winged fallen angel's desperate gaze, slashed directly at his neck.

In a dizzying spin, the four-winged fallen angel only felt himself flying; he saw a familiar headless corpse, and before he could think more, he fell into boundless Darkness.

The four-winged fallen angel, dead!

As for his corpse, Li Changsheng naturally had no reason to let it go, not even a single drop of blood.

This was the blood of a Quasi-God; it only needed to be purified to obtain a large amount of four-winged fallen angel Spirit Essence.

Additionally, after a Demon Pet dies, the Treasure carried in the Spirit Pet Space will automatically fall out.

The four-winged fallen angel carried one Treasure; this was a high-grade Darkness-type Treasure that could amplify the power of Darkness-type skills by thirty percent.

At the instant the Four-Winged Fallen Angel died, far away in Liyang City, in the courtyard of the Cai Clan Leader, Cai Yangqian, who had been strolling in the yard, suddenly had his expression change drastically; his body swayed violently a few times, his complexion instantly turned pale, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The Four-Winged Fallen Angel was Cai Yangqian's blood-bound Demon Pet, so Cai Yangqian naturally could not avoid the backlash, and his Consciousness Sea began to vibrate violently.

"Who, who is it!"

Cai Yangqian looked as if his father had died; his expression was extremely ugly.

At this moment, Cai Yangqian closed his eyes and, using the collapsed mental channel, saw a scene.

After a contracted Demon Pet dies, no matter how far apart they are, a Monster Tamer can receive the last image seen by the Demon Pet.

In the Four-Winged Fallen Angel's final image, Cai Yangqian saw the Four-Winged Fallen Angel's severed head and headless corpse, as well as some of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets.

As for Li Zhangsheng, he happened to be hiding behind Aixi at that time.

In other words, Cai Yangqian only saw the images of three or four of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, but these were all rare Demon Pets; as long as he searched diligently, locking onto Li Zhangsheng would not be difficult, though it would take some time.

After putting away the corpse of the Four-Winged Fallen Angel, Li Zhangsheng cleaned up the battlefield, trying his best to cover the traces of the battle.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the summit of Luojing Mountain.

The summit of Luojing Mountain was an area of over ten thousand square meters, with a depression in the center that formed a small lake.

Li Zhangsheng arrived at the edge of the small lake; he did not let the Venomous Dragon carry him across, nor did he channel the lake water away as he did last time, but instead took out two pearls.

"Rise!"

After inputting a stream of liquefied Mental Power into the two pearls, the pearls emitted a hazy glow and automatically hovered in front of Li Zhangsheng.

As Li Zhangsheng moved his mind, an invisible force was generated, and the lake water in front of him surged, immediately spreading to both sides to form a passage two to three meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long.

The moisture in the silt was completely drained, and then, with the help of the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl, the weathered soil quickly became hard and solid, suitable for a person to walk on.

After advancing to the Fourth Rank, the power of the two pearls had also been greatly enhanced.

Li Zhangsheng stepped into the passage, his strides long, and within a few breaths, he arrived in front of the statue of the Baisheng King.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng used the Treasure Map to open the Baisheng King Secret Realm.

The next moment, the entire Luojing Mountain shook violently, and the statue of the Baisheng King released a brilliant, dazzling golden light, which fell into the void to the side.

The void began to fluctuate, emitting ripples, and finally formed a five-meter-high space gate.

Li Zhangsheng stepped directly into the space gate, and amidst a sense of spinning, he entered the Baisheng King Secret Realm once again.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng entered the golden hall with familiar ease and went straight to the Treasure Room.

There were 36 Yuansha Tianluo Ten Extremes Wonderful True Jars here, 20 of which remained unopened.

Last time, Li Zhangsheng was still a Second-Rank Beast Master and had only opened four Treasure Vats; this time, with his Fourth-Rank strength, he could surely open more than last time.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng summoned all his Demon Pets.

"Attack!"

Li Zhangsheng pointed at the nearest Water Treasure Vat and commanded the twelve Demon Pets to launch a long-range assault.

The Water Treasure Vat had the characteristic of an endless supply, with an energy recovery speed far exceeding Treasure Vats of other attributes; as long as the consumption speed exceeded the recovery speed of the vat, one could use the "water-grinding" method to break it.

Because it was an energy barrier, Adai's ignore-defense trait was naturally of no use.

The next moment, colorful brilliance flickered as the Demon Pets launched the first round of long-range attacks; countless light pillars, light spheres, and light beams appeared, striking the Water Treasure Vat almost simultaneously.

Among Li Zhangsheng's twelve Demon Pets, it could be said that all ten attributes were gathered.

The combined eruption of energy from so many attributes inevitably triggered a violent explosion.

This was the palace of the Baisheng King, and it had not been long since the era when the Baisheng King fell, so it was naturally quite stable.

Under the assault of the twelve Demon Pets, the energy barrier of the Water Treasure Vat rippled intensely, giving the impression that it would be broken at any moment.

However, every two or three seconds, the energy Restriction of the Water Treasure Vat would receive some replenishment.

"Don't stop, continue!"

Seeing the fluctuations of the water barrier, Li Zhangsheng could not help but show an excited smile; it looked like he would have a good start this time.

The Demon Pets continued to launch their assault, crazily attacking the water barrier.

Under the second round of attacks, the water barrier was clearly much thinner, leaving only a faint layer.

In the third round of attacks, the Demon Pets were clearly much more restrained; they even split into two teams and began to use the water-grinding method to consume the barrier's energy, fearing they might destroy the treasure inside the vat.

Pop~

Under the water-grinding method, soon, with a soft sound, the water barrier flickered violently a few times and finally disappeared.

"Stop!"

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly called for a stop, and the Demon Pets stopped subconsciously.

Under extensive training, they had long since reached the requirement of absolute obedience to orders.

Li Zhangsheng arrived in front of the Treasure Vat that had lost its barrier protection and successfully took out the treasure inside.

This was a square Jade Box; after opening the box, it revealed a fruit about the size of an adult's fist.

This fruit was crystal clear throughout, emitting a brilliant glow, and one could vaguely see the fruit shell inside.

It gave the feeling as if it had just been picked, and one wondered how the Baisheng King had preserved it.

At the first glance, Li Zhangsheng felt it was very familiar.

At the second glance, Li Zhangsheng recognized it; wasn't this the Heavenly Spirit Fruit that could open a Second Treasure Space!

The Heavenly Spirit Fruit was one of the few Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures that could open a Second Treasure Space.

"Baitian, eat it!"

This time, Li Zhangsheng did not hesitate at all and threw the Heavenly Spirit Fruit directly to Baitian.

Baitian hurriedly jumped up, caught the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in its mouth, and under the envious gazes of the other Demon Pets, ate the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in a few bites.

The next moment, Baitian emitted white light, and along with it came a low, almost inaudible cracking sound.

Without any surprises, Baitian successfully opened its Second Treasure Space.

Utilizing the special nature of the Light-Dark Symbiotic Body, Heiye emitted black light from its body, and a low, almost inaudible cracking sound echoed from within, similarly opening its Second Treasure Space.

"Come, equip these two Treasures!" Li Zhangsheng took out two Advanced Treasures and had the two kittens place them into their Demon Pet Space, thereby enhancing their strength and allowing them to make a greater contribution to the upcoming assault.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng pointed at the Light Treasure Vat not far away and shouted: "That is the next target, get ready, attack!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, the twelve Demon Pets simultaneously launched a powerful long-range offensive against the Light Treasure Vat.

Destruction Beam, Thunder Storm, Blazing Light Sword, Darkness Sword...

In an instant, twelve different long-range attacks landed on the Light Treasure Vat all at once.

The moment they hit, the Light Treasure Vat instantly activated Light Radiance, almost completely enveloping the entire Treasure Room.

Unfortunately, the Light Vision Aura of the Summer Solstice Light Cat had already been activated in advance, so even though the Light Treasure Vat activated Light Radiance, it still could not produce any effect on Li Zhangsheng and the Demon Pets.

Twelve different energies bombarded the thick energy barrier of the Light Treasure Vat, causing only wisps of ripples that stabilized again in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhangsheng did not call for a stop, letting the Demon Pets continue to probe.

Just like the previous round, the second round was still unable to shake the Light Treasure Vat; contrary to the previous Water Element Treasure Vat, this time the recovery speed exceeded the destruction speed.

"Stop, switch to the next target!"

Li Zhangsheng had to call for a pause and directed the Demon Pets to attack the Thunder-Type Precious Vat; he wanted to test them one by one.

The next moment, countless rays of energy light shot out, landing simultaneously on the Thunder-Type barrier.

Boom—

The Thunder-Type barrier emitted intense ripples and was immediately submerged in the explosion.

A violent wind pressure blew, directly scattering the residual energy waves and revealing the scene inside.

This time, it only took one round of offensive to break through the Thunder-Type barrier.

Li Zhangsheng's heart tightened, fearing that the treasure inside the Treasure Vat might be damaged.

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath and reached into the Treasure Vat; when he touched the actual object, a smile appeared on his face—the treasure inside was undamaged.

"It seems there is another layer of powerful Restriction on these Treasure Vats!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; these Treasure Vats were made of ordinary materials, so he could only attribute the reason to the Restriction, otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand the onslaught of energy.

This time it was a piece of parchment, covered in dense common continental script and formulas, which also looked somewhat familiar.

"It wouldn't be the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion recipe again, would it?"

Li Zhangsheng was quite surprised; this piece of parchment was practically carved from the same mold as the one that previously recorded the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion recipe.

"Phew, this time it's the Ancient Strength Enhancement Potion recipe!"

After reading the information on it, Li Zhangsheng let out a sigh of relief.

Just like the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion recipe, this ancient potion recipe for increasing strength could permanently increase a Demon Pet's strength, and it only had an effect the first time it was consumed.

As for exactly how much it could increase, it mainly depended on the quality of the Demon Pet.

However, it was reasonable to assume that, like the effect of the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion, it could increase the strength of a top-quality Demon Pet by thirty percent.

There are many benefits to having great strength: it can cause greater melee damage to the opponent, it can knock the opponent flying, it can make it easier to break free from restraints, and when strength reaches a certain level, it can even tear the opponent in half directly.

This not only improves the strength of the Demon Pets but is also a source of wealth, provided that enough materials are collected.

Li Zhangsheng briefly finished reading the recipe; the auxiliary materials were easy to handle, as they could be bought on the market if one put their mind to it, but the main materials were rare and would likely require a lot of effort to obtain.

Without a doubt, this would take time.

However, this was a good harvest after all; it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!

After putting away the Ancient Strength Enhancement Potion recipe, Li Zhangsheng continued to direct the Demon Pets to probe the next Treasure Vat.

Time passed slowly, and after continuously eliminating six Treasure Vats, Li Zhangsheng found another one that could be broken.

This time it was the turn of the Ice-Type Precious Vat; its characteristics were quite obvious: except for Ice Attribute Demon Pets, any other Demon Pet that touched it might fall into a frostbite state.

However, this was not an issue for the Demon Pets, because the offensives they launched were basically long-range attacks.

"Attack!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Demon Pets launched a powerful offensive again, bombarding the Ice-Type energy barrier in unison.

The energy barrier rippled with wisps of waves, far less than the two that had been broken before, but the difference was not very large.

If it were the Water Element Treasure Vat with its fast recovery speed, Li Zhangsheng might not have been able to break it, but this was the Ice-Type Precious Vat, and its recovery speed was much worse.

Under the continuous attacks of the twelve Demon Pets, the Ice-Type barrier began to thin and fade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, three minutes passed, and only a thin final layer of the Ice-Type barrier remained.

"We're almost there, everyone keep it up!!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's encouragement, the Demon Pets successfully broke through the energy barrier.

While Li Zhangsheng took out the treasure, they took the opportunity to drink some Healing Spring to start recovering their stamina.

This was an elongated Jade Box; when Li Zhangsheng opened the Jade Box, he saw three identical pale green plants inside, each with five oval leaves, looking plain and unremarkable, much like ordinary plants.

"Wind Spirit Grass!"

At just a glance, Li Zhangsheng confirmed that this was the Wind Spirit Grass he had obtained before, and a rich smile could not help but appear on his face.

Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures like this that increase quality are all extremely rare existences.

Up until now, Li Zhangsheng had only obtained Wind Spirit Grass, Wood Spirit Grass, and the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill, most of which were obtained here.

"Should I let Aixi or Round-and-Round consume them?"

Li Zhangsheng rested his chin on his hand; only Wind Attribute Demon Pets could consume Wind Spirit Grass, and he only had Aixi and Round-and-Round who met the requirements.

However, the higher the quality of the Demon Pet itself, the lower the probability of the Wind Spirit Grass increasing its quality; although there were three stalks of Wind Spirit Grass, the difficulty of continuing to improve the quality of Aixi and Round-and-Round was not ordinary.

"Forget it, let's just keep them for now!"

Li Zhangsheng made his decision and directed the Demon Pets to continue bombarding the Treasure Vat.

The target this time was the Gold-Type Precious Vat; this type of Treasure Vat was quite peculiar because it would launch a counterattack according to the intensity of the Demon Pets' attacks.

However, when counterattacking, a portion of the Gold-Type Precious Vat's own energy would be drained, mainly depending on the intensity of the counterattack, and this was also when it was at its weakest.

Boom—

"There's a chance!"

When Li Zhangsheng saw the energy barrier of the Gold-Type Precious Vat rippling, his heart stirred.

It was also at this moment that the Gold Element barrier emitted a dazzling golden radiance, and countless Gold Element energies were drawn out, transforming into golden spears each a zhang long; the sheer density of their numbers made one's scalp tingle.

Wind Protection!

Aixi and Yuangungun joined forces to form the first line of defense, with a thick cyan light screen blocking in front of them.

God's Protection!

Baitian and the Light Blessing Bird joined forces to form the second line of defense, and a milky-white light screen formed immediately after.

Five Phoenix Divine Fire Cover!

The Crowned Blazing Bird formed the third layer of defense; a five-colored light cover emerged on its body surface, and the phantoms of a Phoenix, Yuanchu, Qingluan, Yuezuo, and Honghu appeared, circling continuously above the light cover.

As for the remaining Demon Pets, they all took the initiative to attack those golden spears, reducing their number and power as much as possible.

Countless energies flew about, colliding with the golden spears rushing through the air, directly dissolving many of them while the remaining force also continuously bombarded the golden barrier.

The remaining golden spears first landed on the cyan light screen, paused slightly, then completely pierced through the Wind Protection, and immediately landed on the God's Protection.

Pop~

Under the continuous bombardment of the golden spears, the God's Protection also did not hold for long before being drilled into a hornet's nest, though the momentum of these golden spears had also clearly decreased significantly.

When they landed on the Five Phoenix Divine Fire Cover, which was touted as the strongest defense of the Fire Element, the five Phoenix Phantoms of different colors raised their heads and let out silent long cries, turning into five-colored brilliance and emitting five-colored rays of light.

The Five Phoenix Divine Fire Cover is also known as the defensive version of the Five-Colored Divine Light and can significantly weaken attacks originating from the Five Elements.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verification!
