#180 - The demon will block the road, waiting for you!
It's Jin Hong!
Xu Chengxian and Ling Yunzi exchanged a glance.
They saw understanding in each other's eyes.
"This guy really isn't dead!" Ling Xiao said.
No wonder, they only found five storage bags.
They thought one had been eaten by the dragon lice.
Turns out there was still a stray dog who escaped from the dragon lice swarm!
Moreover, the Dragon Seeking Ruler wasn't found either.
Now it seems, Jin Hong must have taken it.
But how did this guy escape?
Strange.
The brocade-robed man who was guarded by four great demons is dead.
But Jin Hong, who always followed and fawned over him, survived?
Something must be up.
"It couldn't be that the brocade-robed cousin felt sorry for his younger cousin, and out of brotherly love, not only sacrificed himself to save him, but also gave him the treasure, the Dragon Seeking Ruler, right?"
The thought alone made Xu Chengxian shudder.
It was too outrageous.
Just from the few words they'd heard before, it wasn't hard to see what their relationship was like.
Brotherly love, sacrificing oneself to protect the other?
Don't be disgusting.
"Based on Jin Hong's character," Ling Xiao said, "that brocade-robed man and the attendant demons must have been his stepping stones."
"Regardless of how he escaped, if this demon is now following a demon general, it will definitely be detrimental to us if we encounter him," Ling Yunzi said with certainty.
Although they hadn't had much contact with Jin Hong, this guy was narrow-minded and had a despicable demon nature.
Since he could instigate his brocade-robed cousin, he might also instigate the demon general to attack them.
Moreover, judging from the demon general's words, he hasn't found the dragon egg.
Then his intention in guarding this place is very obvious.
— to rob the demons who come here.
Xu Chengxian immediately realized that the demons heading to the teleportation array must be carrying dragon eggs to the next stop, the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm.
Although the Emperor's Mausoleum is extremely vast, there is only this one teleportation array in the far north that leads to the underground tomb.
So, instead of painstakingly climbing trees to pick peaches, and possibly returning empty-handed,
it's better to guard the teleportation array and wait for the 'rabbit'.
He only had one thing to say about this behavior.
"Damn, that's too cunning!"
The rabbits being waited for are, of course, those great demons who brought dragon eggs, or demon generals whose cultivation level is lower than his.
The first choice is definitely great demons.
After all, even if a demon general of the same realm has a lower cultivation level than him, the danger is still higher.
However, if he wants to obtain a dragon egg containing a higher level of true dragon blood, and wants to eliminate competitors in advance, then that's another matter.
At this time, he heard the voice of General Si, who sounded rather feminine, say: "It's fine, this general is too lazy to search, wouldn't it be better to wait here for them to come to my door? It saves trouble."
"Tsk."
But he still felt very aggrieved.
Relying on his cultivation and strength, he openly bullied the weak!
It's not that he couldn't accept the law of the jungle.
The struggle for cultivation resources among cultivators is like people killing each other to get enough to eat, unavoidable and natural.
In order not to starve to death, even if it breaks the bottom line of humanity, it wouldn't make him so disgusted.
Speaking of which, this is probably the feeling of seeing a playboy forcibly snatching a woman on the street.
"Tch!"
"Clearly he can find them himself, but he wants to rely on his cultivation to snatch them from others, despicable!" Ling Xiao also cursed.
"...Eh?" Xu Chengxian, who was about to despise himself for having too high a moral bottom line, suddenly discovered that he actually had an ally?
"If it were His Majesty, wouldn't he rob them?" Ling Yunzi smiled.
"The key is that I am currently among those being robbed!" Ling Xiao said with righteous indignation.
"..."
(⊙_⊙)?
Xu Chengxian, who realized that if he were in their position, he might, perhaps, possibly, also have the idea of robbing them, fell suspiciously silent.
So it wasn't that his moral bottom line was too high, it was hypocrisy!
For him, he needed not just one dragon egg as a teleportation talisman, but he wanted as many as he could get.
Every dragon egg he collected would allow him to exchange for more refining points from the system.
The increase and refinement of blood energy obtained from devouring dragon eggs could also offset the regret of not being able to sleep.
"Actually, he doesn't necessarily need to take action," Ling Yunzi said, "If there are demons who are lucky enough to obtain dragon eggs but don't intend to go to the mystic realm, they will also come here to sell them."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Jin Hong say the same thing.
"It's not necessary to trouble the general to take action, if there are great demons who come here to sell dragon eggs, this lowly one is willing to buy them for the general. I only ask the general to allow this lowly one to follow by your side and protect me a little."
This guy's attitude is too low.
These words were so fawning!
It didn't seem like the character he had shown before.
Under Xu Chengxian's suspicion, he heard Ling Xiao snort softly in a voice transmission, "Jin Hong is afraid of encountering us again, so he's looking for a backer for himself!"
Just like they knew that if they encountered Jin Hong, he would be detrimental to them.
Jin Hong also understood very well that if they met again, it would inevitably be a never-ending situation.
Therefore, of course, he wanted to do everything possible to make the other party the one who died.
"Easy to say."
The demon general, called General Si, not only agreed readily, without the slightest hesitation of not wanting to get involved in trouble.
But also took the initiative to say, "Those three Water-Avoiding Snakes you mentioned, since they brought the dragon eggs out of the True Dragon tomb, the true dragon bloodline contained in those dragon eggs must be high."
"If this general encounters them, I will definitely seek justice for you and your cousin."
"Thank you, General Si!" Jin Hong hurriedly thanked him respectfully, "If that's really the case, and I can avenge my tragically deceased cousin, I will definitely inform my uncle when I return to the clan, and a great gift will be presented!"
"Forget it, let's not mention the gift for now," General Si said. "Tell me, do they really have that many pills that can conceal their aura and break through the miasma and fog?"
"This lowly one personally saw them pass through the dragon lice swarm without disturbing the insects."
"Hmm," General Si said. "If that's the case, then it's even more worthwhile to take action."
"Go!"
As soon as General Si finished speaking, Xu Chengxian felt that something was wrong.
His intuition told him, danger!
He couldn't help but blurt out.
At the same time, Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi almost instantly took him and retreated rapidly.
Boom!
A wave of demonic power swept over!
......
A moment later.
"He didn't chase after us."
Xu Chengxian released his divine sense to confirm that General Si hadn't chased after them.
Only then did the three of them slow down.
That was close!
Where they were located was still some distance away from the teleportation array, and they had pills to conceal their aura, and he also had the system's cover, so they thought the other party wouldn't discover them.
Now it seemed that they had underestimated the demon general.
"No, he shouldn't have been able to discover us at first," Ling Yunzi said, "He only noticed something later."
Although the demon general's cultivation was higher than theirs, the other party's divine sense was also limited in the Emperor's Mausoleum.
"If that weren't the case, he shouldn't have given up chasing so easily."
Wouldn't it be more reassuring to get the dragon egg sooner?
Killing them would bring a generous gift, and he could also snatch the pills on them.
Otherwise, if they rushed in during the chaos when the teleportation array was activated, it would be all for nothing.
"Hmph, he also predicted that we would definitely go to the teleportation array," Ling Xiao snorted coldly.
But General Si's prediction was right.
The three of them had to go to the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm.
And the only way to go to the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm was to go through the teleportation array.
