Chapter 696: Dust Settles (Second Update, requesting everything)

Seeing the sleeping Thunder Lightning Titan Kronos and the five captured Demon Beast-level spirits, even the knowledgeable two Demon Saint-level spirits felt it was unbelievable, despite having had some premonitions.

They were very clear about Kronos's strength; although it only ranked in the middle-to-lower tier among the five Great Overlords, even when facing ten Demon Beast-level spirits, it shouldn't have been difficult to at least retreat unscathed, let alone defeat them, yet it had capsized in the gutter here.

At this moment, Kronos, who had been lying on the ground, flipped its body and slightly awakened from its slumber.

Demon Saint-level spirits have extremely strong resistance; even an extra-large dose of Sleep Powder has limited effects on them.

It was also at this time that the Demon Saint-level and Demon Beast-level spirits confronting Li Zhangsheng all gasped in unison, because they saw Kronos's mangled crotch and finally understood why Kronos hadn't run away.

With injuries like that, it would be strange if it didn't hurt when Kronos moved, and its speed was naturally greatly affected.

For a moment, their hearts were filled with sympathy for Kronos.

They did not know how to refine Alchemical Pills, and to restore Kronos's virility, there were only a few rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures.

The problem was, if it recovered too late, even if Kronos grew it back, it would likely be greatly diminished.

Kronos gradually regained consciousness; its first sensation was weakness, extreme weakness, feeling as if it had spent three days and three nights doing that indescribable exercise with ten female Mountain Giants.

There was no help for it; Li Zhangsheng had drained a large amount of blood from Kronos, mainly to prevent it from having the chance to retaliate, and incidentally to collect some Spirit Essence of an ancestral Thunder Lightning Titan.

Looking at its mangled crotch, Kronos felt inexplicably sad; for most male spirits, that thing's importance was second only to life, and Kronos was naturally no exception.

"Kronos, this Jade Bottle contains three Snow Soul Life-Saving Pills, which have the miraculous effect of regenerating severed limbs. As long as you cooperate with us and let us leave here safely, I will give it to you. What do you think?"

Li Zhangsheng used telepathic voice transmission to negotiate with Kronos. The reason he gave it three pills was mainly because the volume of that part of Kronos was simply too large; one pill would certainly not be enough, and he feared the medicinal effect would run out just as it started to grow back.

As for whether three pills were enough, to be honest, Li Zhangsheng did not know.

Kronos was, after all, one of the five Great Overlords of the Silent Forest and held great power within the organization; as long as it agreed, it would be enough to guarantee the safety of Li Zhangsheng and his group.

Looking at the Jade Bottle in Li Zhangsheng's hand, Kronos wished it could immediately snatch it over to restore its virility, but it knew it didn't have the ability right now and had to choose to give up.

Regarding Li Zhangsheng's proposal, Kronos naturally did not agree immediately; it was, of course, gnashing its teeth in hatred toward Li Zhangsheng, for Li Zhangsheng was the culprit who had castrated it, and how could any male creature not hate him?

Now that Li Zhangsheng had given it hope of restoring its virility, Kronos was conflicted.

"You have to let me test the efficacy of your medicine first; otherwise, what if you are playing me?"

Kronos did not agree immediately; it did not trust Li Zhangsheng and was afraid the other party would fool it with fake medicine.

While Li Zhangsheng and Kronos were communicating, the Horned Dragon and the Fear Beast did not act rashly, always keeping their distance from Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng could defeat Kronos, which meant he also posed a significant threat to them. Even if the Horned Dragon and the Fear Beast thought highly of themselves and had the advantage in numbers, if both sides fought to the death, they would suffer heavy losses even if they won.

Most importantly, Kronos and the five Demon Beast-level spirits had become 'spirit hostages' in Li Zhangsheng's hands; once they made any unusual moves, Li Zhangsheng would definitely strike hard against them, and they would only be met with death.

The Silent Forest had a total of only five Great Overlords and 37 Overlords; Li Zhangsheng had already killed two Overlords, and if they lost Kronos and five more Overlords, it would be a major blow to their foundations.

They did not want to fight, nor could they fight, so they could only confront Li Zhangsheng while gathering more companions.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng agreed and threw one Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill to Kronos.

With Kronos's injuries, one Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill could not possibly heal it, but the key was that Kronos would certainly concentrate the pill's effect on its crotch.

Kronos swallowed the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill and nervously watched its mangled crotch.

As an Imperial Family secret medicine, the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill had excellent effects and could function even on Demon Saint-level spirits.

Accompanied by a tingling sensation, the injuries on Kronos's mangled crotch recovered rapidly, and then some granulation tissue appeared at the stump, gradually forming an object that could only be described with a mosaic.

Unfortunately, because Kronos's object was simply too large, even with all the medicinal effects of the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill concentrated, it could only form a short segment.

After confirming the curative effect of the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill, Kronos finally breathed a sigh of relief, which indicated that the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill indeed had miraculous effects.

"Xierdiweng, Buleijiasi, this human Stronger's strength is extremely high, and he has companions with no small amount of strength right inside here. Even if you could defeat them, you would have to pay a great price. If the Silent Forest suffers heavy casualties, the nearby human kingdoms will definitely not let this opportunity pass, and then our Silent Forest will be in danger."

For the sake of its life, and to restore its virility, Kronos had to bite the bullet and persuade its companions.

Kronos spoke to the hearts of Xierdiweng and Buleijiasi; if not for this reason, and the fact that Kronos and the others were captured, they would have already attacked.

Furthermore, the longer one lives, the more one tends to fear death, especially these Great Overlords and Overlords who possess vast territories; they are very satisfied with the status quo and naturally do not wish for this balance to be broken.

After discussing for a while, the Horned Dragon Xierdiweng made the conclusion: "Human, for the sake of Kronos, we can let you leave the Silent Forest safely. However, you must guarantee not to harm them."

"I can guarantee this!"

Li Zhangsheng was not lying; the Silent Forest was powerful, and he truly had no intention of completely offending them.

Offending them this time was merely because the commotion when opening the Ruins was too great, which led to them being discovered, forcing him to bite the bullet and deal with them.

Just in this standoff, before the second batch of reinforcements from the Silent Forest arrived, Ning Bizhen and Dean Ning Wei finally left the Ruins, accompanied by their Demon Pets.

Seeing that Li Zhangsheng was safe and sound, Ning Bizhen clearly breathed a sigh of relief and stood firmly by Li Zhangsheng's side.

Unlike Ning Bizhen, seeing the opponent's lineup, Dean Ning Wei was clearly shocked, and her legs even felt a bit weak.

Only when she saw that Li Zhangsheng possessed seven Half-Demon King-level Demon Pets and had captured one Demon Saint and five Demon Beast-level spirits, was Dean Ning Wei filled with shock.

Xierdiweng and Buleijiasi looked at each other, seeing the gravity in each other's eyes; the opponent's lineup was not much worse than theirs, and if they really fought, both sides would likely suffer.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but ask: "How did it go?"

"Guaranteed no omissions, the harvest is huge!"

"That's good!"

Hearing Ning Bizhen say this, Li Zhangsheng smiled; having always been with him, Ning Bizhen's standards were very high, and it was clear they had a full harvest this time.

The Horned Dragon Xierdiweng said impatiently: "Alright, human, you can leave now. Also, don't forget your promise; if you kill Kronos and the others, we will not let you off."

"The premise is that we still have to go to the Dragon Nest of Alexia and Yanasansi."

Li Zhangsheng naturally did not want to let go of the Dragon Nests of the two Demon Beast-level dragons.

The Horned Dragon Xierdiweng shouted in a fit of shame and anger: "Human, our patience is limited!"

"Then how about adding Kronos's lair?" Li Zhangsheng shook his head and cast his gaze upon Kronos.

Although Thunder Lightning Titans had the hobby of collecting gold and silver treasures like dragons, Kronos was, after all, a Demon Saint-level spirit; how could it not have good things in its possession?

"Xierdiweng, agree to him, consider it me owing you a favor!"

Kronos did not want its home to be raided; over a hundred years, it had truly accumulated quite a few treasures. Even if they were things it couldn't use, they could be used to trade with other Great Overlords, Overlords, and even humans. This was also the key to it being able to advance to the Demon Saint level with top-grade quality back then.

"Fine, Kronos, you said it yourself."

Horned Dragon Xierdion immediately agreed, while the Weishou Buleijiasi on the side could not help but show an expression of annoyance; after all, this was a favor from Kronos.

"Then let us go to Alexia's Dragon Nest first!"

After Li Zhangsheng finished speaking, he, Ning Bizhen, and Dean Ning Wei headed toward the Demon King-level Green Dragon's Dragon Nest with their Demon Pets.

Of course, necessary precautions were still required, and his Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique remained activated at all times.

The Horned Dragon and the Weishou followed far behind with nine Demon King-level Spirit Beasts, and they were likewise full of vigilance.

The Demon King-level Green Dragon was closest to the Ruins, and after just a quarter of an hour, Li Zhangsheng arrived at his destination.

Here, trees grew in clusters, and towering trees were everywhere.

Green Dragons like to build their nests in forests; for them, the older and more massive the forest, the more suitable it is.

On a large mountain, there were countless huge caves, and the largest cave among them was Alexia's Dragon Nest.

Alexia's Dragon Nest was on the mountainside; as soon as they approached the Dragon Nest, Li Zhangsheng and the others smelled a pungent odor, which was the unique scent of a Green Dragon and very easy to identify.

However, when Li Zhangsheng saw the environment inside the Dragon Nest, his brows immediately furrowed, as the situation inside exceeded his expectations.

There were not many treasures left in the Dragon Nest, with only some scattered on the ground, and an adult Green Dragon was greedily scavenging the treasures strewn all over the floor.
