……
Outside the battlefield, Donggan National Defense Zone.
Compared with the Xian No. 3 extraterritorial theater, the Donggan defense area is obviously not of the same magnitude.
The gap in the realm defended by Donggan Kingdom is very small, and its structural strength is only enough for Lingxu Realm to shuttle through it. If a strong person who exceeds the carrying capacity is forced to travel through it, it is very likely to cause space collapse, leading to the complete collapse of the boundary gap and forming a catastrophic space storm.
Just like Donggan is to the Immortal Dynasty, the Donggan defense area is also a remote defense area among many defense areas outside the region. Not only are the gaps small and the location remote, but even the attack intensity faced by demonic armies outside the region is weak. It is “only” needed Withstand the offensive pressure of three Demon King’s Castles.
But even so, since the founding of Daqian, there have been countless crises in this defense zone, and it is unknown how many human elites have died on the battlefield.
It wasn’t until Emperor Longchang began to vigorously promote the military family system and invest a large proportion of national tax revenue in military construction, which greatly enhanced Daqian’s military strength, that the situation gradually eased.
This is also the great achievement that Emperor Longchang has always been proud of.
It is precisely because of this that when Wang Shouzhe “privately criticized” the military family system, he hit the emperor’s “sensitive point”, which made Emperor Longchang furious. At the same time, he wanted to spit on Wang Shouzhe and tell him He said, “You don’t know a thing, how dare you talk about national affairs?”
Don’t underestimate the “merely” three Demon King’s Castles.
In fact, each Demon King’s Castle rules a huge demon territory and has many demon soldiers under its command. It is a large-scale warlord force that separates one side.
It is quite remarkable that Da Gan can withstand the joint attack of the three Demon King’s Castles.
[Dragon Elephant Demon King’s Castle] is one of the demon king’s castles that has been entangled with Daqian for a long time. There are more than a dozen demon lords, large and small, under his command. Each lord owns a separate territory and has exclusive rights in the territory under his jurisdiction.
【Dujiao Ridge】.
Dujiao Ridge is the jurisdiction of Lord Dujiao.
This is a barren land where the land has been severely weathered and the mountains have been severely eroded. The soil here is barren, the technology is backward, and it is shrouded in the clouds of war all year round. Low-level demons have a very difficult life on this land. .
There are thousands of low-level demons gathered in this land. They are all the wealth of the one-horned lord, and they are engaged in planting, breeding, mining and smelting.
“Bah! You losers, why don’t you dig faster? If you can’t dig out a hundred magic crystals today, all the food will be confiscated!”
In a magic crystal mining area, a small demon leader was waving a bone whip, urging the demon miners to dig the magic crystal mine.
This magic crystal mine has small reserves and is very barren. You cannot dig out many magic crystals in a day, and most of them are of very low quality.
But what does that mean? Low-level demons are nothing more than consumables.
In the Demon Clan, the hierarchy between demons and monsters is very strict and clear.
The lower-level demons have no power at all. They have no demonic rights, no property rights, or even independent mating rights. Most of the lower-level demons are just tool demons to generate wealth, or cannon fodder on the battlefield, and are completely subject to their ownership. dominated by the lord.
The moment they hatch from the devil’s nest, most of them have already decided their tragic fate.
Only a very small number of demons can be extremely lucky to awaken a higher-level demon bloodline in this difficult life day after day. From the moment they awaken, they will be selected from the lower-level demons and trained to become leaders.
And such lucky people who barely escape from the bottom will often intensify their efforts to exploit their fellow humans. Because compared to those demons who are born with noble blood, they need to please the upper-level demons more.
“Pah~!”
A strong low-level demon swung a mining pick and dug out a large piece of ore.
As the ore rolled, a dark luster flashed away.
It was overjoyed, picked up the ore and looked through it, only to see a fist-sized black magic crystal half-embedded on the back of the ore, exuding pure and rich demonic energy.
“This is the middle-grade magic crystal ore!”
The lower-level demons shouted “wala wala” happily, immediately attracting the leader’s attention.
The leader raised his hand and whipped it. He first whipped the demons until their skin was torn apart and they no longer dared to scream. Then he picked up the raw ore and inspected it. He nodded with satisfaction: “Very good. It should be possible to separate three mid-grade magic crystals.”
The remaining demons breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally I don’t have to go hungry today.
Even, according to usual practice, there will be additional food rewards for mining mid-grade magic crystals.
“Wow, wow, wow!” The low-level demon shouted unconvinced, “Eight pieces, you can cut out eight pieces.”
“Bah bang bang!”
What greeted it was a series of bone whip blows from the leader.
As he smoked, the leader also scolded: “A low-class waste like you still knows how to count? I said three yuan means three yuan.”
The lower-class demons were beaten until they huddled on the ground, but they did not dare to resist. They could only protect their vitals and let the leader beat them. But it was still unconvinced and argued loudly: “I learned magic crystal cutting and arithmetic from Lao Pojiao, and I can cut at least eight pieces.”
Naturally, the leader beat him harder.
“You trash, are you going to rebel? How dare you talk back to me?!”
“Although I am a lower-class demon, I am also the personal wealth of the great one-horned lord. If you beat me to death for embezzling mid-grade magic crystals, you will not end up well.” The lower-class demon struggled. roared.
Its roar was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of other mining teams nearby.
The leader suddenly felt guilty and quickly withdrew his whip: “Shut up! I just misjudged the quality of the rough stone. All the miners in our team will have extra meals for five days. Today’s harvest is good, you can go back and rest.”
Additional meals and rest quickly relieved the tension of the demon miners.
A few old low-level demons carried the troublesome demon back to the simple shack, fed it some water and food, and left it to fend for itself.
Demons are very strong physically and have extremely tenacious vitality. Even the lowest level of demons can reach a strength that is approximately equal to that of human Lingtai realm monks when they reach full adulthood.
Those Qi-training realm demons in the recruitment points during the Shenwu period that were used to test the Qi-training realm monks were actually underage individuals among the lower-level demons.
Under normal circumstances, low-level adult demons can live for two to three hundred years, and all life indicators are very powerful, especially their strength and resilience, which are amazing. It would take less than ten days to recover from such an injury after being whipped.
But this lower-level demon clan seems to have mastered some “culture” and is more intelligent than other lower-level demon clans.
It let out an angry low growl unwillingly.
But so what?
Unless it is lucky enough to awaken a stronger demon bloodline, it will always be just an inferior demon and will never be able to escape the shackles of fate.
Sadly, after most demons hatch from the demon nest, their bloodline potential and evolutionary direction have been determined, and very few demons can awaken again after being determined.
“Are you angry?”
At this time, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the simple shack.
“GuluGulu, who are you?”
The inferior demon suddenly sat up and stared at the demon next to the bed.
The demon has a burly and powerful body. The muscles are knotted and the oppressive demon body is covered with dense scales, exuding a noble metallic luster. The huge membrane wings are raised high behind it, with sharp edges. The sharp claws seemed to be able to tear its body apart easily.
Especially those golden-red vertical pupils, which are deep and cold, exuding an indescribable and terrifying force.
That is the coercion coming from the upper-level demons. Even if it is not emitted deliberately, it can make the lower-level demons tremble.
An indescribable fear suddenly rose from its heart. It was immediately trembling with fear, and crawled directly at the feet of the superior demon clan, constantly uttering words of begging for mercy.
This kind of high-level demon clan is not comparable to the kind of small bosses, and even the demon generals are far behind it.
“Don’t be nervous, I was just passing by and happened to see this scene.” There was a hint of sympathy in the golden-red eyes of the superior demon, “I can give you a chance for a fair deal. I I give you strength and potential. You tell me where the magic crystal warehouse is.”
This “high-ranking demon clan” is undoubtedly Xia Yang, the king of Zhennan who has just sneaked into the demon clan’s territory.
Since arriving on the foreign battlefield, he has completely transformed his body into a demon.
However, demons and humans are two completely different races after all. The human race, whether it is the human race of the Immortal Dynasty or the human race of the demon dynasty, the main cultivation resources used are “spirit stones”.
This resource was called [Immortal Crystal] during the Shenwu Period. A standard low-grade spiritual stone is an immortal crystal, currently worth about a hundred gold coins.
The Demon Dynasty also wanted to call this material “Magic Crystal”, but the word “Magic Crystal” conflicted with the real “Magic Crystal”, so it simply continued the fairy crystal standard from the Shenwu Dynasty.
Of course, in addition to spiritual stones, those who practice various magic arts in the Demon Dynasty also need some other resources to assist their practice. For example, the Yin Sha Sect likes some Yin Sha Ming Sha Qi to assist in their practice.
As for the [Red Lotus True Demonic Sutra] of Demon Emperor Shentu’s lineage, it requires some fire evil resources to assist in its cultivation, and the higher the level of the fire evil, the better.
The fundamental reason is that the human body cannot completely transform and absorb pure demonic energy or evil energy.
From this point of view alone, there is actually no essential difference between the demon dynasty human race and the immortal dynasty human race. They are still the same race in essence, but they have different ways of practicing.
However, the real extraterritorial demons are different. They are two completely different races from the human race, and the most commonly used cultivation resource is “magic crystal”.
The origin of “magic crystal” is similar to that of “fairy crystal”. It is a crystal formed by the gradual condensation of high concentration of magic energy.
Magic crystal and fairy crystal are two completely opposite energy crystals.
Therefore, when King Zhennan was completely transformed into a demon, the fairy crystal had no effect on him. Only the magic crystal could make him stronger.
In his demon body state, his bloodline was completely inherited from the Dragon Blood Demon God. Even the power of the laws mastered by the Dragon Blood Demon God and even some of his combat experience were also inherited.
It was only because of his cultivation that he was in the early stage of Lingxu Realm. Even if he transformed into a dragon-blooded demon, he would not have enough energy to return to the peak strength of the dragon-blooded demon. Today, he is almost equivalent to a “young” demon god. He has status but lacks strength.
In the base of Donggan Defense Zone, there is a batch of captured magic crystals stored over the years.
Relying on this batch of magic crystals, King Zhennan barely “recovered” to a strength roughly equivalent to the middle stage of the human race’s Lingxu realm. But this is not enough.
Although Wang Liyao, the young Holy Lord of Lingyun Holy Land, has already reported to the Immortal Palace, requesting the transfer of a batch of magic crystals. But King Zhennan, who couldn’t hold himself back, decided to secretly get some magic crystals to restore his strength and conduct a preliminary investigation on the situation of the demons before he implemented the “Dragon King’s Return” plan.
This is why King Zhennan transformed into the Dragon Blood Demon God and appeared here.
After all, humans and demons are two completely different races. They are completely different from racial habits to social structure, from cultural cognition to customs and habits. In addition, it is extremely difficult for both sides to lurk into the other side’s camp. After all, no one is a fool, and they will have various detection devices to deal with it.
It can be said that even though the two sides have been fighting for thousands of years, their understanding of each other still has great limitations and one-sidedness.
King Zhennan has lived for more than two thousand years and has come to battlefields outside the territory countless times, but this is the first time he has experienced the civilization structure of the demon clan from another perspective.
It turns out that those vicious extraterrestrial monsters and the bottom society are actually like this.
“GuluGulu!”
The low-level demon was panicked for a while, and then a blazing light burst out from his eyes.
After the experience just now, it has deeply understood that without strength, it will die of suffocation in its lifetime. The high-ranking demon in front of it is its best opportunity.
It crawled forward and kissed the instep of King Zhennan, expressing its surrender and allegiance in the unique way of the demon clan.
“Forget it. Let me see how far you can go. Even if it means causing some trouble for the demons.”
The huge dragon claws of King Zhennan suddenly grabbed the head of the low-level demon, injecting extremely pure energy into its body.
At the same time, he separated a drop of blood essence from the body of the dragon-blooded demon and integrated it into the body of this low-level demon.
This drop of demon’s essence and blood is not a mortal thing, and it will also cause considerable damage to the demon himself. Under normal circumstances, if the demon **** wants to grant blood essence to his subordinates, he will think twice about it.
The King of Zhennan didn’t have so many worries.
Anyway, he is just an undercover agent and will not stay in the demon clan for too long. This body is not his true body, so he can destroy it as much as he likes.
After completing the mission, he can go back to pursue Luo Miao gloriously.
Before that, it was natural to lay as many mines as possible for the demons, as this was also a method of undercover.
In a flash.
The aura of that low-level demon changed.
A majestic and vast aura burst out from its body.
From blood to bones, to muscle tissue and scales… it underwent a complete change from the inside out amid the terrifying sound of bone friction.
A pair of membrane wings grew out from its back, and its limbs evolved into ferocious dragon claws. At first glance, the appearance became somewhat similar to the dragon-blooded demon, but it was a much weaker version than the original one. .
“Ouch!”
Under the extreme pain, the lower demon roared uncontrollably.
This roar was like the roar of an ancient demon dragon, causing the entire camp to tremble violently. Many low-level demons nearby were frightened and knelt on the ground.
“How dare you, low-grade trash…”
The leader in charge of this group of miners noticed the movement and rushed in angrily.
However, it was only half-way through its curse, and the bone whip in its hand had just been raised when it was slapped away by the lower-level demon who was no longer what it used to be.
This boss is only equivalent to the human race in the early stage of the Celestial Realm. However, the lower level demons who have been transformed by the blood of the devil are still rising, and their strength at this time is no less than that of the late Celestial Realm.
And this doesn’t seem to be its limit.
How overbearing is the effect of the demon’s essence and blood? Under normal circumstances, it will not stop until it awakens until it is approximately equal to the strength of the human race’s Purple Mansion realm.
And its potential will be greatly enhanced. If you are lucky enough in this life, can obtain enough resources, and work hard enough, you may even reach the level of a demon king.
The simple shack had already collapsed during the awakening process, and the entire camp was attracted by the huge momentum.
Unconsciously, a circle of demon leaders had gathered around them.
A line of sights converged on the lower demons from all directions. In those eyes, there was fear, but also envy and jealousy.
But no one dared to approach rashly.
Suddenly.
A tyrannical demon general’s aura flew into the sky, and the majestic aura enveloped the entire place.
Immediately afterwards, a burly demon with purple eyes appeared in the sky, flapping its wings and quickly landing.
“Greetings to the Purple-Eyed Demon General.” The surrounding leaders saluted one after another.
It turned out that it was one of the many demon generals under the One-horned Lord, the purple-eyed demon general, who came.
The purple-eyed demon flashed a strange light in his purple eyes, and glanced at the low-level demons. His eyes suddenly became complicated and unclear: “I am very lucky, I have awakened the noble demon dragon bloodline. It seems quite pure. It’s a pity that there is no demon **** in the dragon blood line for a long time… What is your name?”
The inferior demons lowered their eyes, afraid to look at it.
It has heard of this purple-eyed demon general. It is said that it is a very cruel demon general, and death is the best outcome for demons who fall into its hands.
It shrank its body and replied weakly: “I have no name.”
“That’s right, the lower-level demons don’t have names.” The purple-eyed demon general’s voice was particularly kind and gentle, “Then you come with me and meet the One-Horned Lord, and he will give you a name himself. . If nothing else happens, you and I will be the demon generals under Lord One-Horned Lord from now on.”
The demons are deceitful and cruel, but as a social race, they naturally know how to form gangs. At first glance, these demons are of high-level demon dragon bloodline, and their potential is even stronger than mine. If we establish a good relationship with them while they are still weak now, they will benefit a lot in the future.
“Master Demon General, that leader has embezzled mid-grade magic crystals, and this is not the first time.” The lower-class demon suddenly pointed at the miner leader who whipped him and reported it on the spot.
“Sir, I’m wronged~~Sir.” The miner leader was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, “I just made a mistake. Don’t listen to that low-grade rubbish…”
“Shut up! You are so brave, you dare to insult the great future demon general and the noble demon dragon bloodline of my demon clan!” The purple-eyed demon general squinted and suddenly slapped away with his claws.
A sharp light flashed.
The miner leader was immediately beaten to pieces with many bones broken into pieces.
The Purple-Eyed Demon General was still “unable to understand his hatred” and said angrily: “Come here, pull this piece of trash out and let it die in the violent wind tunnel for ten days.”
The surrounding leaders lowered their heads, trembling in their hearts.
The evil wind tunnel is the most painful torture. Even if a demon’s powerful body enters the evil wind cave, the flesh and blood on the body will be blown away bit by bit by the evil wind, and only a pair of bones will be left in the end.
In the blink of an eye, the miner leader was dragged away to be tortured. No matter how much he screamed and begged for mercy, it was to no avail.
After finishing this matter.
The purple-eyed demon general then stopped his anger and turned to the lower-level demons with a kind face: “Brother, can you forgive your hatred now?”
It killed the leader not because of the embezzlement of the magic crystal. In fact, the embezzlement magic crystal was the instruction given by the purple-eyed demon general to the leader.
“Satisfied, satisfied.”
The lower-class demons were a little stunned, and felt an indescribable sense of pleasure hit their brains, making them drifting.
I didn’t expect that a single word from it could kill an unattainable leader.
Is this what strength and power feel like?
“Remember your oath.” At this time, the low and powerful voice of King Zhennan suddenly came to the ears of the inferior demons, “I can give you power, and I can also take it back. Go, alone. Please serve Lord Horn well and don’t reveal my existence.”
“Yes, sir.” The lower-class demons immediately responded with sincerity and fear.
“Brother. You and I are brothers, please don’t call me ‘adult’ again.” The purple-eyed demon put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him away enthusiastically, “Let’s meet him together. Lord, go.”
After saying that, it spread its wings and flew into the sky with the inferior demons.
As the two demons left.
In the sky, the figure was hidden in the gray-black clouds. King Zhennan, who was watching this scene from a distance, was also quite amused.
This dragon-blooded demon is really powerful. As long as he gives a drop of blood essence and a little energy, he can create a demon general.
If you squeeze out a hundred drops or a thousand drops, wouldn’t it be…
Ouch, why am I getting dizzy?
The information from the bloodline immediately made King Zhennan wake up quickly.
It turns out that this essence and blood cannot be squeezed casually. It is so empty after just one drop. If I squeeze a few more drops at once, I am afraid I will really be doomed.
That’s all~ It’s better to search the magic crystal library first, seize the time to restore the true strength of the demon god’s body, and complete the mission.
Miaomiao, Miaomiao, don’t be impatient, your brother Xia Yang will be back soon. When the time comes, brother Xia Yang will definitely marry you home with great grace.
