In a large, dry tree hollow, from a warm campfire, there were large skewers of oily meat.

Wang Xiao hissed in pain and medicated the wounds one by one. Old Black sat by the fire, flipping the fragrant pieces of meat.

"Lao Hei, your nest is a tree hole, you can actually light a fire in it, it's really good!" Wang Xiao looked left and right while smearing the medicine. This tree hole is more than three meters in diameter, which shows how big its body is.

Lao Hei smiled proudly: "This tree is the largest one on the periphery of Fangcun Mountain, it is already four or five thousand years old, and the wood is very hard, not to mention lighting a fire here, even if you use a knife and axe to cut it, you may not be able to cut it! It's only been a while since I left, and there are a few little demons who don't open their eyes and want to occupy my territory, and I really don't know whether to live or die. ”

"I think you're really a soft-hearted demon, and when you came back this time, you didn't kill the little demons who occupied your tree hole, but just drove away. ”

"It's just a few little demons at the bottom of the human ranks, it's useless to kill, well, this meat seems to be about the same. "Lao Hei grabbed a skewer of meat dripping with oil and bit it down.

After Wang Xiao finished smearing the medicine, he also grabbed a meat skewer and sniffed it: "The meat of this dolphin seems to be quite fragrant, why is it called a filthy thing? ”

"The filth is because you humans think it's just that. This beast is a mongrel, and it is not treated well by men. The main thing is that the dolphin eats everything, whether it is meat or vegetarian, and even the bears and wild boars, which were originally their ancestors, are used as food, so they are despised by you humans. In the eyes of human beings, this animal was originally a cross between a bear and a pig, but even the mother eats it, which is the most unfilial and unkind. That's why there is a word of filth. But the flesh of this beast is extremely fat, especially this forelimb, which is really a delicacy in the world!" said the old black with a shake of his head, grabbing a handful of salt and spilling it on it.

"Oh, old black, haven't you eaten it?" Wang Xiao was surprised.

Lao Hei glanced at Wang Xiao disdainfully: "Even you can defeat this beast, why can't I eat it?"

"You can actually defeat this guy alone?" Wang Xiao scratched his head and asked curiously: "Lao Hei, how powerful are you?" Since I met you, except for the first time when you fought with the wolf, I have only seen some little monsters who have bullied some people in the lower ranks. I haven't seen you go all out. ”

Lao Hei glanced at Wang Xiao and smiled: "What, do you want to try my skills?"

Wang Xiao also smiled: "Lao Hei, didn't you say that the monsters in the middle of the human rank have a few tricks? Tell me early, I'll be able to cooperate with you in the future. What kind of bull X magic do you have?"

The old black yin smiled: "Do you want to see how powerful I am?" hehe, okay, Ah Xiao, you are ready." ”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then saw the old black in front of him disappear suddenly. At this time, Wang Xiao was no longer the rookie at the beginning, instinctively grabbed Lian Xue, and stabbed behind him with a sword, but only half of the stabbing was made, and he felt that his shoulders sank, and then a fluffy claw was already pinched on his throat.

Lao Hei's lazy voice came from overhead: "What about me, but there is no trick." Every time our demon clan advances, we can get a natural demonic power, which can be used to stimulate the instinctive talent of the monsters. However, the innate demonic power I obtained from going from an ordinary monkey to a human rank, and then advancing to the middle of the human rank in thirty years, was not used to activate any special skills, but ......"

Hearing this, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders, and then Lao Hei returned to the position just now, holding a string of meat pieces of flowing oil, as if he had never moved, and said lazily: "It's all used to strengthen my speed." Turning his head as he spoke, he said, "Although I'm troublesome with monsters who are much stronger than me, ...... If I bully someone weaker than me, I will take one by one. It's your senior brother, who seems to be majestic, but if I want his life, it's a matter of a claw. ”

Feeling the ghostly speed of the old black ghost, Wang Xiao was stunned.

A great martial artist said:

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

The path taken by this old black is so extreme and so powerful.

Wang Xiao knew that although Lao Hei didn't have those flashy-looking spells, as long as he was inferior to him, even if a hundred or so people joined forces, they might not be able to defeat this skinny monkey. Unless it is a formation, even if it is the peak of the lower human rank, most of them will be easily killed by Lao Hei one by one. Even if Liu Zhenwu can release such a gorgeous trick, if Lao Hei wants his life, as long as he secretly takes advantage of his inattention to make a sneak attack, it will be almost 100% a one-hit kill.

Wang smiled and was convinced: "Big brother, you are so powerful." At your speed, you don't need any spells anymore. ”

Lao Hei shook his head: "Not necessarily. Although I am faster than ordinary third-level youkai in terms of speed, it is difficult to kill those thick-skinned youkai if I encounter them. Speaking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered what happened when he met Lao Hei. Lao Hei's speed is actually faster than that of the ground wolf in the upper rank, but Lao Hei only has speed, but lacks strength, so even though the speed is faster than the ground wolf, it can't cause damage to the ground wolf. can only rely on wits to make the wolf fall for the trick, so that he can fight and lose.

"If only I could have a weapon at hand...... Lao Hei glanced at Lianxue in Wang Xiao's hand: "You kid, with such a good baby, you can't play it." It's really tyrannical!"

Wang Xiao didn't think it was a nude, but smiled proudly: "This, there is no way to have a good character." By the way, Lao Hei, you have been mixing for more than 100 years, you should also be able to refine weapons, right? Why didn't you refine a weapon for yourself? ”

Lao Hei glanced at this ignorant boy stupidly: "Ahh Among the monsters in the world, there are very few who know the skills of refining, and they are rarer than the heaven-level monsters. ”

"Oh, how can you refine weapons so good? Then how could Ruoxue already know it four years ago? Speaking of which, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old four years ago!"

"That's the girl...... Ahh The old black puffed out his eyes, ignored Wang Xiaoxiao, and only took out the two fangs of the dolphin to play.

Wang Xiao failed in his trick, but he was not angry, he laughed, took a big bite of the barbecue, and said with a heroic grin: "Old Hei, don't worry, when I reunite with Ruoxue, I will ask Ruoxue to help you make a spiritual weapon!"

"Come on, who are you?" Lao Hei glanced at Wang Xiao with disdain, he didn't bother to scold him, and only bit a large piece of meat fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, eat and sleep early, and continue tomorrow." ”

When Wang Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became bitter: "Boss, I am now covered in injuries, and the true yuan is empty, but I can't recover tomorrow, I have to work hard to have a little foundation." ”

Lao Hei threw aside the gnawed bones and took out a yellow-orange-orange thing from the sac (where the monkeys used to hide food): "It's okay, there is this Nedan of the dolphin, as long as you recover your strength, I can let you restore the true yuan to the best state tomorrow." As for the injuries...... Don't pretend to be pitiful, you and I have the same life, and I share your injury, but it's just a small injury. In addition, the demon control is definitely a practice against the sky, and its own self-healing effect is also extraordinary, and tomorrow, it should be cured. ”

This is not an exaggeration. Wang Xiao now gradually understands why in the three contracts of the demon master, the contract of Taoyuan is above the contract of master and servant. Although the contract of master and servant can share power, it cannot share life. At this time, Wang Xiao is linked to Lao Hei's vitality. Under the connection of the Demon Commander, with the same injury, Wang Xiao has twice or even more resistance and endurance than others, and under the connection of the Demon Commander, whether it is Wang Xiao or Lao Hei, the recovery speed after the injury will be much faster. Originally, the self-healing power of monsters was higher than that of humans, and after adding the effect of controlling demons, Wang Xiao's recovery speed was about three times that of ordinary people.

If it is combined with medicinal herbs, plasters, pills, etc., then it is a serious injury for ordinary people, but for Wang Xiao, it is only a minor injury. It is precisely because the Demon Control Decision is such a rebellious mental method that Lao Hei will let Wang Xiao choose this way to improve his combat power through the battle of life and death. This is not because Lao Hei is not afraid of death, but because with the Demon Control Duel, it is a battle of life and death for others, and for Wang Xiao, it is just a little more suffering.

Wang Xiao looked at Nedan and said in surprise: "Old Black, don't you need to absorb this Nedan to increase your strength? You actually use Nedan as a consumable?" By the way...... Lao Hei, since you can improve your cultivation by absorbing the inner pills of other monsters, and you are almost invincible at the same level, then ...... How come you are still in the middle of the human rank?"

Wang Xiao didn't think that Lao Hei's ability to absorb other monsters to increase his cultivation was great, but now that he has become an official disciple of the Lotus Root Hall, he has seen a lot more and knows a lot, so he knows that there are not many people in the demon clan who know how to rely on absorbing demon pills to increase their cultivation. Besides, if you can rely on absorbing other monsters, you can level up, as long as you kill more, won't you become the number one demon in the world sooner?

Lao Hei glanced at Wang with a scornful smile: "With your mind, it really makes me feel pitiful." It's not a particularly unusual thing to rely on absorbing demon pills to increase cultivation, the difference is just that the efficiency of use is different. Although human beings can't absorb it directly, those alchemists rely on this to eat. Otherwise, why do you think that the pride of the Heavenly Sons of the Great Sect of the human race can reach the earth level in more than ten years? Besides, do I dare to kill other monsters at will? You are human, and it is natural for you to kill monsters. I'm a demon, it's normal for me to kill people and eat people, it's a big deal to be chased and killed by others. But it certainly won't be all the cultivators who will come to hunt me down. But what would happen if you killed people at will? What do you think would happen if a cultivator knew that you were hunting down other cultivators and absorbing their Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang to improve their cultivation?"

"Uh...... It must have been attacked by a crowd...... But, uh, old black, don't you demon clan pay attention to the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest?

"Survival of the fittest, it's just a normal fight! It's not like you kill other monsters when you see them. I belong to the ape family, not blood-eating tigers, wolves, demons and the like, if it was a big killing, I would have been discovered by those old demons a long time ago. Lao Hei sighed: "So over the years, I can only look for opportunities to kill a few monsters in the chaos of late autumn." It's a pity that this demon pill is not a demon, and the first-level monsters, that is, the monsters at the lower level of the human rank, basically don't have a demon pill. The demon in the middle of the human rank, there are at most three or five demon pills in ten. I didn't dare to make a big noise, so as not to alarm those old monsters in the mountains, so for so many years, I have been cautious, and I just hunted two or three demon pills every year. It wasn't until this year that I reached the pinnacle of the middle of the human rank, and I went to hunt the ground wolf at the top of the human rank in order to break through the middle position. ”

Only then did Wang Xiao understand Lao Hei's hardships, and he felt a little more admiration in his heart: "Lao Hei, this is really hard for you, but then you can't use this demon pill to consume it! Isn't that a waste?"

The old black eyes said: "What is there to waste, I might as well tell you, I have practiced for more than a hundred years, and I can swallow the demon pills of other monsters to improve myself, although I am congenitally insufficient, but I have thick and thin hair, as early as after I swallowed the earth wolf demon pill, I can actually advance to the upper level of the human level." It's just that I signed a contract with you, and there is a blood contract limit, because you kid is only a lower-level person, so even though I already have the power of a human-level upper-level, I can't break through the limit of the contract, and I am still only a middle-level person. Speaking of this, he snorted: "It's because of your burden that I'm only in the middle of the human rank." If it weren't for the restrictions of the blood contract, I would have been a great monster at the top of the human rank!"

Wang Xiao was shocked: "What's the matter, the blood contract will still limit your strength?" I thought it was just that when I signed the contract, I couldn't surpass the monsters who were much stronger than me. What will you do in the future?"

"What else can I do, I can only hope that you kid work harder and make progress quickly. Anyway, as long as you can advance to the middle level, I can immediately break through the barrier of the middle level of the human level, and advance to the upper level of the human level of the monster, wahahaha, by that time...... Don't say it, don't say it, you can rest quickly, rest well, and I will help you recover the true yuan tomorrow. Before you reach the middle of the human rank, even if I have more demon pills, I won't be able to absorb them. In fact, I told you before, if you want to cultivate the way of demons, the fastest way to increase your cultivation is to use my special method to absorb the demon pill, but it's a pity that your current cultivation is still not enough to absorb these. As he spoke, he wrapped the browned pieces of meat in oiled paper and set them aside.

Wang Xiao was shocked in his heart, and immediately remembered what Lao Hei told him when he first decided to embark on the road of demon refining.

"Big brother, can I also absorb the demon pill?

"You're not a real demon body, and it's naturally impossible to absorb it as casually as I do. But to a certain extent, I can also rely on refining the demon pill to improve my cultivation, and as long as I am here, when I absorb the demon pill, I will naturally share the profit for you. The reason why I brought you here to cultivate is also because I hope to hunt some demon pills. But with your cultivation, you can only see and not eat this mid-level demon pill. Okay, eat your meat. After eating, go to rest. ”

Wang smiled and said suspiciously: "Big brother, since this demon pill can restore my true yuan, why don't you help me recover it now?"

Lao Hei took the trouble to explain: "You are stupid, the reason why the battle of life and death can make people speed up their progress is that after the true yuan is completely used, the potential can be stimulated most when the whole body is in an empty state. At this time, you just have to take the injury and rest with the empty dantian, although it hurts a little and feels a little uncomfortable, but it is the most effective for cultivation and refinement. ”

Although the words were still bitter and mean, Wang Xiao only felt a burst of warmth.

"Got it, I'm almost full, so let's rest. Wang Xiao wiped his mouth, hugged Lianxue in his arms, and lay down.

Lao Hei jumped to the door of the tree hole, covered the door, and then made a spell towards the fire, and after a few flashes of fire, it was extinguished. It was dark in the hollow, but it was still warm.

In the warm and dark tree hole, the slight snoring of a man and a monkey gradually sounded.
