Chapter 015: The Demon Realm and the Beggar

The leader of the Demon Realm destroyed the world and came to the Xuanwu Pond ten miles away from the Plains City alone. I saw that this Xuanwu Pond was backed by a rolling mountain, the mountain was full of wind and snow, but the Xuanwu Pond at the foot of the mountain was not frozen, the pool water was still bubbling, and from time to time bursts of black smoke rose from the water surface. When the leader of the Demon Realm saw this scene, he was very surprised in his heart, and thought to himself: "This mountain is covered with ice and snow, but its basalt pool alone is bubbling like boiling water, not only the color of the pool is like black ink, but also bursts of black smoke rise, this is really weird! No, I have to test whether this pool water is boiling or not." Thinking of this, he broke off a branch from a small silver-covered tree behind him and threw it into the Xuanwu Pool, only to see that the branch was melted by the water in the Xuanwu Pool in the blink of an eye. How could this branch be reduced to nothing in an instant? This is terrifying!, the Demon Realm Leader, said to himself. Thinking of this, he decided to return to the Xuanwu Pagoda to see if he could find a trace of clues.

Soon, the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation returned to the Xuanwu Tower. This Xuanwu pagoda is like black ink, about ten zhang high, and there is a statue of Xuanwu beast carved with a boulder under the pagoda. Well, this statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is so lifelike, it is really ingenious. He walked to the statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and curiously stretched out his right hand to stroke it, only to see that the two heads of the statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast suddenly erupted a puff of black smoke. He didn't have time to pull his hand back, and was sprayed by the black smoke, and it only took a moment to condense his palm into a piece of ice. Wow, it's so freezing!!" he couldn't help but shout. This is just a lifeless stone-carved Xuanwu Divine Beast statue, how could it suddenly spew out black smoke, could it have touched the mechanism? Just when he was puzzled, the originally motionless Xuanwu Divine Beast Statue suddenly turned around, aimed its big head at him, and then spewed out a puff of black smoke. The leader of the Demon Realm was caught off guard, and his upper body was condensed into ice in an instant. He was so frightened by what he saw that he almost lost his soul, and he walked towards the north gate of Plains City. As soon as he slipped away, he ran back to the north gate of Plains City. The guards of the city were amused when they saw him panting.

"There are monsters in the Xuanwu Tower, which will emit black smoke!" said the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, who was terrified at this time.

"We know that. The soldier who defended the city said.

"Hmph, I'm glad you ran fast, if you ran slowly, I would have frozen you to death a long time ago!" said Sergeant Yi, who was guarding the city, with a sneer.

"What's the explanation?" the Demon Realm Leader asked, puzzled.

"Who doesn't know that the statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast next to the Xuanwu Pagoda will spew black smoke?

"Oh, I was out of curiosity, so I couldn't help but touch it. ”

"There were many people like you, out of curiosity, who reached out to touch it, but they were frozen into ice by the black smoke that spewed out, and they couldn't run, and finally froze to death there!" said the soldier who defended the city.

"I see. The leader of the Demon Realm, Extinction, suddenly said with a sense of enlightenment.

"Alright, go into the city and find a restaurant to drink in, or you'll die in less than two hours." The soldier guarding the city said impatiently.

"Go to the restaurant to drink, does this work?" the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, touched his head, his expression very puzzled.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the black smoke emitted by the statue of the divine beast is poisonous, and you have to drink a kind of wine called "Xuanwu Holy Wine" to detoxify it. Soldier B continued to defend the city.

"Poisonous?What is the 'Xuanwu Holy Wine'?" The expression of the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation at this time was even more puzzled.

"Okay, don't ask, won't you know when you go to the restaurant?" said the soldier guarding the city impatiently. After hearing this, the leader of the Demon Realm had no choice but to stop talking, because at this time, he had already been frostbitten by the black smoke emitted by the statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast next to the Xuanwu Tower, and his face was very pale. He walked into a tavern called "Xuanwu Restaurant" next to the north gate of Pingyuan City, asked for a pot of Xuanwu Holy Wine, and couldn't wait to drink a whole pot of Xuanwu Holy Wine. After drinking this Xuanwu Holy Wine, his whole body began to heat up, and his originally pale face gradually returned to normal.

After the Demon Realm Leader Extinction drank wine, he walked out of the restaurant. Just as he was about to leave the door, a beggar in ragged clothes and with a foul smell called out to him.

"Brother, how about sitting down and chatting a few words?" When the leader of the Demon Realm, Extinction, heard this, he turned around and saw that it was a small beggar.

"Hmph, I thought it was a stinky beggar. The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, glanced at the little beggar coldly and said disdainfully.

"That Xuanwu Holy Wine tastes pretty good. The little beggar suddenly burst out of his mouth.

"How do you know that I drank the Xuanwu Holy Wine just now?" asked the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation in surprise.

"I also know that if you are the Xuanwu Pool and the Xuanwu Tower. The little beggar then said again, and the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, turned from disdain at the beginning to surprise, and he began to be curious about the little beggar in front of him. "Come with me, I have a good magic weapon for you. The little beggar didn't explain anything, but just said lightly, and the leader of the demon realm followed the little beggar.

The little beggar took the demon world leader Annihilation to a remote corner, looked around, and found that no one was approaching, so he took out a small black bead from his arms.

"What is this?" asked the Demon Realm Leader, puzzled.

"I'll tell you about that later. Yes, have you been to the Xuanwu Pond and the Xuanwu Pagoda just now?"

"Well, just got back from there. ”

"Although you drink the Xuanwu Holy Wine, you may not be able to completely detoxify. Well, you're going to let a little blood out for me to see. After the little beggar finished speaking, he took out a small worn-out bowl from his bosom and motioned for the leader of the demon realm to destroy the world and bleed.

"Bloodletting? Do you have to do it?"

"You can leave it alone, it's not me who poisoned me anyway. After the little beggar finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but the leader of the demon world, Annihilation, grabbed him, and then took out a sharp knife from his arms, cut a small cut on his right hand, and immediately the blood flowed, and the little beggar caught the worn-out small bowl in his hand. Soon, a small half bowl was filled, and the little beggar tore a piece of rotten steps from his body and bandaged his wounds. Then he stretched out his finger and dipped the small bowl of blood in it, put it in his mouth and licked it with his tongue.

"Well, your blood doesn't taste salty, you're fine!"

"You mean that if my blood tastes salty, it means that I still have toxicity in my body?"

"Hmm. The little beggar nodded.

"Then what's the matter with this little black bead in your hand?" the little beggar said after hearing this, saying that he had picked it up on the shore of the Xuanwu Pond.

"Then what does this little bead do?" the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation then asked.

"Placing this little black bead on the blade increases the power and sturdiness of the weapon. If it is embedded in armor, it can greatly increase defense. When the little beggar said this, the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, thought to himself: "If what this little beggar said is true, inlay it on my battle armor, and then I will no longer be afraid of the gods and the immortals." When he thought of this, he was very happy and proud. The little beggar saw that he was still suspicious, and said, "If you are in doubt, press this little black bead on your knife and slash it lightly on the ground." When the leader of the Demon Realm heard the little beggar's words, he pressed the small black bead on his sharp gray knife in disbelief, and then a strange scene happened. I saw that this gray knife turned into an inky black knife in an instant, and black smoke came out of the knife, which was very weird. The Demon Realm Leader Annihilation gently slashed the ground with the black knife in his hand, and a crack the size of a thumb and about half a foot deep immediately appeared on the ground. The little beggar took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention, picked up the small half bowl of demon blood on the ground, and drank it in one gulp.

"What's going on, how can there be such a deep crack in the ground?" asked the Demon Realm Leader, puzzled, and the little beggar explained to him that this was the power of the little black bead. If it is embedded in the armor, it will be invulnerable, and will greatly improve the armor's defensive performance. At this time, the leader of the demon world completely believed the words of this little beggar, and it turned out that this little black bead had such a great effect.

"What, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Well, it's a treasure!" said the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation gave the little beggar a thumbs up and said in a praising tone.

"I can give you this treasure, but I want to drink now, but I don't have any silver taels on me. When the leader of the Demon Realm heard the little beggar's words, he happily took out a gold ingot from his bosom and put it in his hand. After the little beggar took the gold, he turned around and left, but the leader of the demon world, Annihilation, shouted to him again.

"Don't go, brother, I still have something to ask you. ”

"Tell me what? ”

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Ancient Divine Soldier Ice Sword?"

"I don't know about that. However, if you want to get the Ice Sword, you must defeat the Xuanwu Divine Beast. Do you think that with your current strength, you can defeat that Xuanwu Divine Beast?"

"Well, not yet. Then, according to what you say, wouldn't it be more difficult to get this ice sword than to ascend to the sky?" After the little beggar heard the words of the demon realm leader to destroy the world, he didn't make any answer, but just smiled slightly.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Of course, it is difficult for one person to defeat this Xuanwu Divine Beast, but if someone helps, it should be much easier. After the little beggar finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the leader of the demon realm, Annihilation, did not hold him this time, but thought in his heart: "Who to ask for help?" Among the six realms, the power of the three worlds of gods, ghosts, and demons is the most powerful, and as for the demon world and the fairy world, it is just a foil. It is impossible for the God Realm to help my Demon Realm, and now only the Ghost Realm remains. I don't know if this ghost realm leader is willing to help me, if he helps, it will be much easier. However, now I don't know what happened to him in Xiangyang City. It seems that I'd better go back to the Demon Realm first. Thinking of this, the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation decided to leave Plains City and join the group of demon soldiers under him.
