Suddenly, the door was slammed open, Zhu Ke'er ran over with a snort, Shi Dong was startled, hurriedly withdrew from Duan Mei's embrace, stood up and looked at her embarrassedly.

"Shi Dong, you are despicable!" Zhu Ke'er was so angry that her little face was swollen and red, and she picked up a small slap and slapped it on Shi Dong's face.

Shi moved his neck, and just wanted to dodge, but suddenly his heart moved, and he was stunned not to hide.

With a crisp slap, five red fingerprints suddenly appeared on Shi Dong's face.

"Ke'er, don't be presumptuous!" Duan Mei hurriedly pulled Zhu Ke'er away, looked at Shi Dong's eyes flashed slightly, and thought: "Shi Dong, this kid has no mouth, this slap and let him remember his surname a little longer, it is also for his good." ”

It turned out that Duan Mei could have stopped her, but she was slightly displeased with Shi Dong's rudeness before, so she asked Shi Dong to learn a lesson.

Shi Dong still had tears on his face, and half of his face was covered with five fingerprints, and he smiled bitterly at Zhu Ke'er: "Senior Sister Zhu, after this slap, can you lose your anger? I don't know what Shi Dong did wrong to make you so angry? You have to make my slap clear and understandable!"

Zhu Ke'er stomped her foot, threw herself into Duan Mei's arms, and cried, "Sister, don't entrust me to this villain. He...... He's going to bully people! Sister, let's try another way, maybe we can cure the evil poison!"

"Yes, yes, what's going on, senior sister, let's talk about it first, maybe there's a way!" Shi Dong also stepped forward to persuade.

Zhu Ke'er turned her head and glared at Shi Dong fiercely, and pouted: "Villain, stay away from us!"

Shi Dong smiled and retreated, and did not argue, but scolded in his heart: "Your grandmother's little girl, don't look at you like my sister, I have to put up with your stinky temper! Hmph, when the fifth senior sister is not present in the future, see how I clean you up! Little girl, if you don't clean you up, I will call you sister in the future!"

"Okay, you two don't make trouble, even if Shi Dong has any mistakes before, you can return him. This is the Demon Gate, you have to abide by some rules, once the two of you quarrel and spread it, be careful of being used by people with ulterior motives. Duan Mei raised her pretty face and reprimanded in a deep voice.

Shi Dong's heart sank, and he hurriedly said to Duan Mei: "Yes, Senior Sister is very true, the younger brother must keep it in mind, and when Sister Ke'er comes to me again in the future, Shi Dong will definitely not fight back and scold or scold." ”

"You ......" Zhu Ke'er glared at Shi Dong angrily, her big black eyes stretched out her eyelids, which was very cute.

"Okay, Ke'er, you can't fight when it comes to bickering. Duan Mei turned around and walked into the woods, "You two want to know the reason for my poisoning, so follow up and take a look, so that you two will die." ”

Zhu Ke'er followed closely behind Duan Mei, Shi Dong kept a distance from her, looked around curiously, and saw that the trees in this forest were all tall, with wide leaves, exuding a slightly intoxicating smell, and there was a round hole in each trunk, and a soul refining tower was placed in the middle, and a pair of ghostly eyes were revealed in the tower.

"This valley is called the Soul Nourishing Valley, and these trees are called Soul Nourishing Wood, which has a warm and nourishing effect on ghosts, so the soul refining tower placed in the tree hole is all the highest grade spirit ghosts of Cloud Mist Peak. Duan Mei introduced as she walked.

"There are a total of sixty-six spirit ghosts in this valley, fifty-eight of the Yellow Rank and eight of the Xuan Rank, all of which are used for breeding. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Shi Dong and Zhu Ke'er curiously.

"That's it...... Let the spirits and ghosts together, you can give birth to little spirits. Well, it's a ghost fetus. A large part of the ghost fetuses operated by Senior Brother Hao Ren in the gambling ghost shop are supplied from here. In addition to raising spirit ghosts, one of my important responsibilities is to let the spirit ghosts cultivate ghost fetuses in this soul-raising wood forest, so that they can earn spirit stones for the master. ”

Spirit ghosts can also breed little spirit ghosts, this is the first time Shi Dong and Zhu Ke'er heard such a thing, they were very surprised, and immediately looked left and right, wanting to see how the spirit ghosts breed, but they didn't see anything unusual.

"Don't look, breeding between spirits and ghosts is a very complicated and dangerous thing, it needs to be carried out in a forbidden place in the depths of the valley, once the breeding is successful, the ghost fetus will be taken out by me, and the spirits and ghosts with lost vitality will be temporarily placed here to restore their vitality. ”

Shi Dong's heart suddenly moved, and asked, "Senior sister, there are more spirits and ghosts outside than here, there are eighty-eight of them, why don't they be stocked here together?"

"Hmph, how do you know that there are eighty-eight? I see that you are talking nonsense! Ninety-nine are coming!" Zhu Ke'er deliberately raised the bar with him and glared at him.

Duan Mei glanced at Shi Dong in surprise, a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water sparkled, and asked, "Shi Dong, how do you know that there are eighty-eight spirit ghosts outside?"

"I counted them in passing when I came in. Shi Dong smiled.

Zhu Ke'er was dumbfounded, Duan Mei shook her head and sighed: "Shi Dong, Shi Dong, you are too smart, aren't you? ”

Shi Dong stuck out his tongue and said, "If you are too smart, you will become a fool, then I am also a smart fool, better than a stupid fool." ”

Both girls were amused by his words, giggling and laughing echoed in the mysterious woods, and those spirits suddenly blinked their eyes and laughed with them, and the atmosphere was indescribably terrifying.

The three of them stopped squeaking, Duan Mei took Shi Dong and Zhu Ke'er and walked quickly inside, and explained in a low voice: "Some of the spirit ghosts outside are too low in qualifications to be put here to cultivate and reproduce, and some are just sent here, and they need to be raised and observed outside, and then moved here when the conditions are ripe." ”

Shi Dong remembered that Hao Ren had mentioned the matter of buying spirit ghosts, and asked, "If someone wants to buy spirit ghosts, they will also choose from outside, right?"

"Clever. Duan Mei nodded, "The spirit ghosts outside can be sold to the outside world, or they can be used as a reward for the sect, and they can be rewarded to disciples who have made meritorious contributions or performed well." ”

Shi Dong also wanted to ask if a spirit ghost was really that expensive, and could the senior sister sell it to herself a spirit ghost cheaper? But after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate to ask these questions at this moment, not to mention that the little girl next to her had been looking at herself with unfriendly eyes, as if she was blaming herself for pestering her sister to speak, so she didn't say anything.

The footsteps of the three people stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest, making a rustling sound, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a while.

After walking for a while, Duan Mei stopped in front of a stone wall, pointed to the Soul Refining Pagoda on a soul-nourishing tree, and said, "This is a Xuan-level black demon, and my demonic poison is because of it. ”

Shi Dong and the two stared at it, and saw that in the tree hole a few feet above the ground, there was a blackened spirit ghost lying in the soul refining tower, wilting and sloppy.

Suddenly, Shi Dong felt that the jade box containing the ghost cricket shook suddenly, and the ghost cricket became agitated.
