Chapter 505: Divine Ability Myriad Transformations (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Jianghe was a little confused. He seemed to be in a daze.
Even though he was already used to Zhou Shu's remarkable abilities, the scene before him still stunned him.
What was going on?
"Calm down. It's just a divine ability. After twenty-four hours, the divine ability will lose its effect, and they will return to their original state." Zhou Shu patted Xiao Jianghe.
Calm down? How can I be calm?
I almost thought it was really my body on the floor!
Xiao Jianghe cursed inwardly. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, you want to use these two corpses to make the demonic beasts chasing us think that we're dead, and then we can sneak among them to deliver fake news?
"Your Highness, you can use this divine ability on us?"
Xiao Jianghe felt his entire body tremble. No matter how he looked at it, the two corpses on the ground were flawless. If Zhou Shu could use this divine ability on them and make them look like demonic beasts, it would really be…
It was incredible to think about it.
Zhou Shu nodded. In fact, this was the first time he had used this divine ability. It had to be said that he was shocked himself.
But in front of Xiao Jianghe, he had to pretend to be calm.
If he was frightened by his own divine ability, he would look ridiculous.
Divine ability Myriad Transformations!
This was the reward for killing with his own intrinsic divine weapon!
After the Legendary Armament Canon upgraded, only connate divine weapons were qualified to be listed.
The Ming Hong Saber and the Crimson Firmament Sword that Zhou Shu had forged were naturally recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon.
This divine ability, Myriad Transformations, was not inferior to the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Cultivation Technique.
To put it simply, when a divine ability was used, it could turn a person into another person within 24 hours!
From appearance to aura, everything changed.
This was definitely the strongest disguise technique. It was completely flawless!
Moreover, the most important thing about this divine ability was that Zhou Shu could use it on others!
Previously, when he had completed kills with the Ming Hong Saber, the reward from the Legendary Armament Canon had increased his divine ability Myriad Transformations by 1. This meant that he could use this divine ability on a person.
Now that he had used the Ming Hong Saber to kill four demonic beasts, it meant that he could use Myriad Transformations on four people at the same time.
In addition to the two corpses on the ground, he could also use Myriad Transformations on the two more people.
It was just right to transform himself and Xiao Jianghe into demonic beasts!
Zhou Shu's original plan was to let Xiao Jianghe lead the demonic beasts away with the Huben Saber, like what Yang Hong had done.
But after obtaining the divine ability Myriad Transformations, he changed his mind at the last minute.
Just as he had said to Xiao Jianghe, he wanted to find a way to forge connate divine weapons in the Demon Realm.
Otherwise, the phenomena would attract the demonic beasts' attention every time he forged a connate divine weapon. That would be too troublesome.
Moreover, if something went wrong, the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch might be in danger.
Zhou Shu raised his hand and brushed it across Xiao Jianghe's face. Then he touched his face.
A magical scene took place.
Xiao Jianghe watched as Zhou Shu's face changed into something he had never seen before. His eyes turned red, just like those of humanoid demonic beasts.
More importantly, Zhou Shu also grew several inches taller, and his aura became savage and rough.
If he hadn't seen Zhou Shu change with his own eyes, he would definitely have thought that this was a genuine humanoid demonic beast.
Xiao Jianghe looked down at himself. His own body had changed. He was shorter and burlier than before. He didn't need a mirror to know that his face had changed too.
"This is my unique divine ability. As long as we don't expose our actions, no one can see through us," Zhou Shu said, his voice changed. This made Xiao Jianghe feel a little strange.
But this feeling quickly disappeared.
Because he realized his own voice had changed.
"Remember, from now on, your name is Yao Yong. Bear demon bloodline. My name is Yao Qing. I'm your clan brother," Zhou Shu continued.
That's right. He had changed his appearance into Yao Qing, whose dream he had entered in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament!
Yao Qing was the son of a Great Demon and the human Lu Tian. He was a mix of human and demon…
Zhou Shu had become Yao Qing because he had once entered his dream and was relatively familiar with his habits.
In addition, Yao Qing had always lived in seclusion in the Demon Realm. Moreover, he was one of the top experts of the younger generation. Coupled with his mixed-blood identity, he was very famous in the Demon Realm.
He was famous and didn't show his face often. Many demonic beasts were not familiar with him. He was the perfect disguise.
As for Xiao Jianghe's changed appearance, he was one of Yao Qing's clansmen that Zhou Shu had seen when he entered Yao Qing's dream.
"Try not to talk from now on. I'll talk to them," Zhou Shu said.
"I understand." Xiao Jianghe nodded, not used to his voice.
"We have to learn the language of the Demon Realm later. That's the biggest flaw."
Although Zhou Shu knew some of the demon language of the Demon Realm, he was definitely not as good as the natives.
It was one of the reasons he'd chosen to disguise himself as Yao Qing.
Yao Qing was a hybrid of human and demon. Even if he spoke in the human language, other demonic beasts wouldn't find it strange.
Chapter 506: Divine Ability Myriad Transformations (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Demon Realm, humanoid demonic beasts could learn the human language. Many low-level demonic beasts could even understand the human language.
From this, it was apparent that the Demon Realm had been plotting against the Ten Nations Continent for a long time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many of them to be proficient in the human language!
It was definitely too late for last-minute cramming.
With Yao Qing's identity, even if Zhou Shu only spoke the human language, as long as he didn't encounter any demonic beasts with a much higher status than Yao Qing, he didn't have to worry too much.
After getting Xiao Jianghe to carry the two disguised corpses, the two of them executed their movement techniques and circled around. Then they pretended to have encountered the hundreds of demonic beasts.
"Yao Qing?!"
Zhou Shu was thinking about how to start the conversation when he heard a humanoid demonic beast shout.
Zhou Shu was stunned. Yao Qing was an out-and-out otaku in the Demon Realm. Not many people knew him. He was so lucky that one of these demonic beasts knew him?
Zhou Shu looked at the humanoid demon beast with a cold expression and said nothing.
When he entered Yao Qing's dream, he had never seen this humanoid demon beast. Now, he naturally didn't know who he was.
Under these circumstances, it would be wrong for him to say anything.
Zhou Shu sighed inwardly.?Am I going to be exposed from the start?
He had even confidently told Xiao Jianghe that there was no problem. This was embarrassing.
"Did you kill these two humans?" The humanoid demon beast didn't seem surprised that Zhou Shu didn't speak. He looked at the two corpses that Xiao Jianghe had thrown to the ground and said, "You're in trouble!"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Zhou Shu said coldly. "If I didn't kill the humans, should I have kept them alive? Or are you colluding with the humans?"
Zhou Shu pretended to be furious. If he caused a scene and confused them, he might be able to salvage the situation…
"No, I didn't mean that." The humanoid demon beast seemed to be a little afraid of Yao Qing. "So be it. However, Yao Qing, Lord Yao Li wanted these two humans. Now that you've killed them, we won't be able to explain ourselves. Do you want to go and talk to Lord Yao Li?"
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or if the humanoid demon beast was doing it on purpose, but what he said was still in the human language.
This dispelled Zhou Shu's previous worries.
"Where is he? If he's too far away, I won't have time to meet him," Zhou Shu said coldly, but he was overjoyed.
He had originally wanted to blend in with them, but he didn't expect this humanoid demonic beast to directly set up a ladder for him.
"No, no. He's not far away," the humanoid demonic beast said. "With our speed, we can arrive in half a day.
"Yao Qing, you should know that a human army has broken into the Demon Realm. The Demon Kings are all furious. The Demon Kings even ordered Lord Yao Li to find them. Now that we have some clues, you've killed them…"
"Cut the crap. So what if I killed them? I'm not afraid even if I have to face the Demon Kings," Zhou Shu said coldly, vividly portraying Yao Qing's cold and arrogant personality.
"Aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility?" Zhou Shu said disdainfully. "It's not that I look down on you, but do you think you could have captured these two humans alive?
"That's idiotic nonsense!"
Zhou Shu seemed to be furious, and he struck out with his palm.
With a loud bang, the two corpses exploded into flesh and blood.
The humanoid demonic beast frowned imperceptibly.
"Let's go. I'll make things clear and won't let you take the blame. " Zhou Shu didn't wait for the humanoid demonic beast to speak. "If you want to find that human army, you useless fools won't be able to do it in your next life!"
Anger flashed across the faces of the demonic beasts, but because of Yao Qing's identity, they didn't flare up.
Although Yao Qing was a mix of human and demon, and everyone called him a bastard behind his back, there were really not many demonic beasts who dared to disrespect Yao Qing to his face.
Not to mention that Yao Qing was an outstanding first-rank demonic beast, his mother was the famous number one Great Demon in the Demon Realm, the number one demon below the Demon Kings.
Who would dare to disrespect him?
Even Lord Yao Li didn't dare to offend him easily. Otherwise, if his mother came knocking on his door, Lord Yao Li wouldn't be her match…
"Let's go." The humanoid demonic beast gestured at Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu was expressionless as he stepped forward.
Xiao Jianghe followed closely behind and glanced at the humanoid demonic beast.
Even with Xiao Jianghe's experience, he was still a little nervous, afraid that this humanoid demonic beast would see through him.
But the humanoid demonic beast's attention had always been on Zhou Shu and didn't care about his sidekick.
Even if he cared, his appearance and aura were flawless. The divine ability Myriad Transformations was not a disguise at all. It was a complete transformation.
Not to mention a first-rank demonic beast, even a Demon King couldn't see through it.
Along the way, Zhou Shu realized that Yao Qing's identity was indeed extraordinary.
He deliberately provoked these humanoid demonic beasts a few times. Although they looked very angry, no one attacked Yao Qing.
Logically speaking, although Yao Qing's cultivation was not bad, if these humanoid demonic beasts joined forces, they could completely defeat him.
They were definitely not afraid of Yao Qing because of his cultivation level.
Zhou Shu couldn't help but think of Yao Qing's demon mother and ruthless father.
It was obvious that his mother had an extraordinary status in the Demon Realm.?Ji Lutian is really something…
Yao Li was actually not anywhere nearby at all.
The group walked for a full day and a half. Just as Zhou Shu was about to lose his temper for the third time, the first-rank demonic beast who knew Yao Qing pointed ahead. "Lord Yao Li is right ahead. Do you see the flag? That's where Lord Yao Li is."
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes. He could sense a powerful aura ahead.
But he didn't take it to heart. It was just a Great Demon. He was the man who had made a Demon King bleed.
With his spiritual essence cultivation at the Earth Immortal realm, even if he didn't use his divine ability Total Annihilation, the probability of winning against a Great Demon was more than 70%.
If he used Total Annihilation, it would only take one strike to take down a Great Demon.
Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe looked at each other. As expected, they couldn't underestimate the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm.
The place where Yao Li was stationed was only about 300 kilometers away from the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch. From the looks of it, he had followed them all the way from the passage of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield.
It wouldn't take long for him to track them to the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch.
Fortunately, he had come here on a whim. Otherwise, the Demon Realm army might have approached within five kilometers of the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch.
At that time, it would be too late for them to discover the traces of the Demon Realm army.
"How many demonic beasts does Lord Yao Li have?" Zhou Shu asked while pretending to be nonchalant. "I've once fought with that human army and know their strength. If there are too few, they might not be able to deal with them."
"Lord Yao Li recruited the million-strong army that retreated from the battlefield." The humanoid demonic beast didn't suspect anything. "In addition to the million-strong army originally led by Lord Yao Li, there are a total of two million soldiers. Even if those humans have great abilities, they will definitely die!"
"Two million soldiers?" Zhou Shu frowned slightly. "I don't think there are that many soldiers ahead."
"There are two million soldiers under Lord Yao Li. Lord Yao Li has already sent out people to search for the whereabouts of that human army. There are still hundreds of thousands left in the headquarters. I'm not too sure about the exact number."
The first-rank demonic beast continued, "Yao Qing, if you're interested, you can stay here and serve Lord Yao Li. With your ability, Lord Yao Li should welcome you very much."
Zhou Shu snorted but made no comment.
"Let's go. Let's tell Lord Yao Li the information I obtained from the two fellows who died at my hands just now. We'll talk about the rest later."
As he spoke, he boldly led the way to where the flag was fluttering in the distance.Chapter 507: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp and Capturing Humans (1)

Xiao Jianghe tried his best to calm himself down, but he could still hear his heart pounding.
He cursed himself for being so useless, but he still couldn't control himself.
This was even more exciting than facing the charge of an army of demonic beasts.
The two of them swaggered into the camp of the Demon Realm army. Facing them was a Great Demon that surpassed the first rank of the Martial Dao.
Even though Xiao Jianghe had experienced so much, it still felt like a dream to him.
Most importantly, Great Demon Yao Li was very polite to them.
Xiao Jianghe tried his best to appear expressionless as he stood behind Zhou Shu.
He was full of admiration for Zhou Shu. As expected of the king, he was able to remain calm in this situation.
Zhou Shu was indeed not nervous at all. Great Demon Yao Li was an existence that he could easily defeat. What was there to be nervous about?
"Yao Qing greets Lord Yao Li." Zhou Shu cupped his hands calmly.
"It's you, my nephew." Yao Li was a burly man, but he just had to act like a gentleman, making him seem a little out of place. He chuckled and said to Zhou Shu, "Nephew, why did you come here instead of resting after returning from the battlefield?"
He spoke very politely, but there was a hint of interrogation in his words.
Hearing this, Zhou Shu was already certain that Yao Qing had returned to the Demon Realm before the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven collapsed.
He wondered if Yao Buqi had escaped.
"Previously, I suffered some losses at the hands of those humans. If I don't take revenge, it will greatly affect my Martial Dao," Zhou Shu said solemnly. "So, Lord Yao Li, please do me a favor."
"It's naturally best if you are willing to join my expedition army." Yao Li laughed. "With you around, it's like adding wings to a tiger."
His gaze turned to the first-rank demonic beast who had brought Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe here. "Yao Jun, I asked you to investigate the situation. Have you investigated clearly? With Yao Qing joining us, if we can find traces of that human army, we will definitely be able to destroy them with lightning speed."
Yao?Jun1? Zhou Shu almost laughed out loud.?How is this strange-looking fellow handsome??
These demonic beasts' names are really casual.
Zhou Shu now understood the rules of demonic beasts. In the Demon Realm, first-rank demonic beasts were qualified to have the last name 'Yao'. Only Demon Kings were qualified to have unique last names, just like Demon Queen Tushan.
The goal of Great Demons like Yao Li was to one day have their own surname.
"Lord, the phenomenon we saw was caused by two humans. I was about to catch them, but they bumped into Yao Qing and were killed," Yao Jun said.
Zhou Shu glared at him. He pretended not to notice and lowered his head.
"I'm willing to be punished for my incompetence."
"Forget it." Yao Li waved his hand. "You can't blame Yao Qing. After all, he doesn't know the situation here.
"But it doesn't matter. You didn't catch anyone alive, but I did catch someone alive." Yao Li said proudly.
"These humans don't know what's good for them. They still dare to cause so much commotion in my Demon Realm. I captured the human who caused the commotion earlier."
Zhou Shu was shocked. The commotion mentioned by Yao Li should be the phenomenon caused by his forging of a connate divine weapon.
Could it be Yang Hong?
Surely not?
He was captured alive?
Zhou Shu really didn't know if Yang Hong's luck was good or bad.
After Yang Hong was captured alive by demonic beasts, Zhou Shu actually managed to come across the Demon Realm army that captured him and went to take a look on a whim. This was fate.
"Lord Yao Li, have you already interrogated the whereabouts of the human army?" Zhou Shu looked excited. "Then let's hurry up! I can't wait to take revenge!"
"I just brought him back. I haven't had a chance to interrogate him yet." Yao Li shook his head. "If you're interested, why don't you come with me to interrogate him?"
"Great!" Zhou Shu said without hesitation. "Break his limbs and pull out his bones. I don't believe he won't confess!"
"Yao Qing, you're wrong." Yao Mei smiled. "Humans are still the best at interrogation.
"You can't compare to your father in this regard.
"I used to drink and chat with your father, and I got a copy of the humans' Top Ten Torture Methods from him.
"I won't hide it from you, Yao Qing. I've studied this punishment technique a little. Watch me use it. I'll definitely make that human brat confess everything!"
Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat.?Yao Li is on good terms with Yao Qing's parents? No wonder he favors Yao Qing so much.
But Yao Qing is a shut-in and rarely interacts with the other demonic beasts. Yao Li shouldn't have seen any flaws.
The father he's referring to is Ji Lutian, right?
It seems Ji Lutian is doing well in the Demon Realm. He can actually drink and chat with a Great Demon?
But what is this Top Ten Torture Methods?
Zhou Shu had only heard of the Top Ten Tortures Method of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life. In this life, he had really never heard of any top ten tortures.
Chapter 508: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp and Capturing Humans (2)

Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe followed Yao Li into a tent.
In the tent, a disheveled figure was chained up by a few iron chains. Who else could it be but Yang Hong?
Yang Hong's clothes were tattered and stained with blood, but he looked to be in good condition. When Zhou Shu and Yao Li entered, he was still cursing.
"Demon cubs, you'd better let me go quickly. Otherwise, if I really get angry, all of you will die." Yang Hong didn't know where he got his confidence from, but he scolded enthusiastically, "Bastard, if you have the ability, fight me one-on-one! If I'm afraid, I'll be your grandson!
"If you don't dare, then all of you will be my grandchildren!"
Yao Li snorted coldly. "How dare a loser speak bravely?"
He spoke politely, making Zhou Shu want to kick him.
Why does a burly demonic beast want to behave like a gentleman?
You're neither fish nor fowl. You make me want to slap you.
"You're shameless! You sneak attacked me. Let go of me if you dare. Let's fight another three hundred rounds!" Yang Hong glared at Yao Li. "I'm not bragging, but I've killed plenty of demonic beasts like you."
Zhou Shu's and Xiao Jianghe's horizons were broadened. This was the first time they had seen this side of Yang Hong.
Back at the camp, although Yang Hong would occasionally brag, it was really hard to tell that he was so unyielding when facing demonic beasts.
Xiao Jianghe was impressed. Yao Li was a Great Demon. Even he, Xiao Jianghe, couldn't say such words in the face of Yao Li.
He was cursing a Great Demon head-on! He was truly a man.
Xiao Jianghe gave Yang Hong a thumbs up in his heart.
"I hope you can still be so insolent later." Yao Li grinned ferociously.
"Yao Jun, hit him twenty times first."
With a wave of his hand, a human-sized iron rod fell to the ground.
"Lord Yao Li, let me do it." Zhou Shu beat him to it. With a flick of his toe, the iron rod landed in his hand.
As soon as he held the iron rod, he realized that it wasn't a weapon but an ordinary rod.
Seeing that Zhou Shu had beaten Yao Jun to it, Yao Li waved his hand and asked Yao Jun to leave. He didn't mind.
"Yao Qing, don't kill him. Just let him know how powerful you are."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Zhou Shu nodded.
He came behind Yang Hong and raised the iron rod in his hand. "Human, where is your lair? Tell me honestly, lest you suffer more!"
Swish!
With a muffled sound, the iron rod landed heavily on Yang Hong's back.
Yang Hong's expression froze for a moment before he let out a shocking scream.
Yao Li's eyebrows twitched. Yao Qing was too heavy-handed. He had better not kill him.
Bang bang bang!
The big iron rod kept falling on Yang Hong's back with heavy thuds.
Yao Li opened his mouth, wanting to stop Zhou Shu, but he realized that something was wrong.
Although the human was screaming miserably, his aura didn't change at all!
Yao Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Hong. He finally realized that something was wrong. This human's skin had turned a faint golden color.
"Stop!" Yao Li shouted in a deep voice. In a flash, he had already arrived beside Yang Hong and snatched the iron rod from Zhou Shu's hand.
Boom!
Yao Li raised the iron rod and struck Yang Hong's back. With a loud bang, the iron rod finally broke under the pressure.
Yang Hong's expression didn't change as he said disdainfully, "A Great Demon? You?
"Didn't you eat? Are you scratching an itch for me? If the demons can't provide enough food for you, join our Great Xia and be my mount. I promise I'll let you eat your fill every meal!"
"Bastard!" Yao Li's face revealed anger. "Do you think a mere third-rank martial artist can be arrogant in front of me?"
He stomped heavily on the ground, and his aura surged. "My Top Ten Torture Methods are specially for bastards like you!"
He smiled sinisterly and reached out two large hands, wanting to tear apart Yang Hong's muscles and bones.
"If you can still be so arrogant after your tendons and bones break, then I'll acknowledge that you're a great man," Yao Li said. "When the time comes, I'll twist your man's thing off for you."
Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe felt their bodies turn cold. Yao Li was really abnormal.
What did Ji Lutian teach him? Was this still torture?
Yang Hong's voice stopped abruptly. He stole a glance at Zhou Shu, who nodded slightly.
"I'm not playing with you anymore. I'm leaving!" Yang Hong shouted, and golden light suddenly shone from his body. With a few cracking sounds, the chains on his body shattered.
Then he clenched his fists and attacked Yao Li.
Yao Li's expression turned ugly. He snorted and clenched his fists to attack.
The moment he threw the punch, patterns appeared on his body like those on a tiger. With a whistling sound, his fist collided with Yang Hong's.
With a scream, Yang Hong flew out like a cannonball.
Boom!
With a step, Yang Hong landed on the ground, knocked down a few demonic beasts, and rushed out of the camp of the Demon Realm army.
Yao Li was furious. "Get him back here!"
"Come on. I'm not afraid of you!" Yang Hong's arrogant voice was gradually fading away as he ran into the forest at an unbelievable speed.
Yao Li turned around and glanced at Yao Qing, embarrassment flashing across his face. "Yao Qing, it was an accident, an accident. We'll interrogate him after I capture him again."
"Lord Yao Li, do you need my help? If not, I can ask for help from the clan," Zhou Shu said indifferently.
"No!" Yao Li said in a low voice. "He's just a third-rank martial artist. If not for the fact that I wanted to have some fun with him, do you think he would be able to escape?"
Zhou Shu smiled without saying anything. This fellow didn't seem to be very smart. Otherwise, Yang Hong wouldn't have escaped from the military camp so easily.
He had used his divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence to share the Golden Bell Shield Technique with Yang Hong. The punch from Yao Li just now was like an assist, directly sending Yang Hong flying thousands of feet away. Wasn't he sending Yang Hong away?
But this was also good. If Yao Li was a shrewd demon beast, Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe might really be exposed. After all, Yao Li was familiar with Yao Qing's parents.
"In that case, I'll wait for your news, Lord Yao Li." Zhou Shu cupped his hands. "Lord Yao Li, I heard from Yao Jun that you noticed a huge commotion somewhere. Was it caused by the human army?"
"No." Yao Li waved his hand. "It was caused by that human just now. He has a weapon in his hand. You should know this better than me. After all, your father…"
When he spoke up to here, he realized that something was wrong and quickly changed the topic. "The weapon in this human's hand caused a commotion, but it was very strange. When I caught him, the weapon was already gone. I don't know where he hid it.
"But it doesn't matter. When I capture him again, I'll interrogate him properly. If you're interested, you can have his weapon. I don't have the patience to use those things anyway. They're not as useful as my claws," Yao Li said casually.
"It would be disrespectful to decline. I'll accept it then," Zhou Shu said casually.
"Damn it. One's family background is indeed important. Yao Qing, only you are capable of talking in such a refined manner," Yao Li muttered.
Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. He had to pay attention to the way he spoke. Otherwise, this would be a flaw.
"Yao Qing, rest in the camp. I'll go and capture that little thief alive," Yao Li said in an awkward manner. Then he took a step forward and soared into the sky.
Chapter 509: You're Demonic Beasts, Why Are You Acting Like Humans? (1)

"Your Highness, will Yang Hong be fine?" Xiao Jianghe leaned over to Zhou Shu and asked softly.
Zhou Shu shook his head and made a shushing gesture.
He had just used his divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence to share his Golden Bell Shield Technique with Yang Hong. With the Golden Bell Shield protecting his body and the Crimson Firmament Sword, if Yang Hong could still be captured, he would really be useless.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu had to admire Yang Hong's luck. Normally, if Yang Hong fell into the hands of demonic beasts, he would die.
He must have known this. That was why he had cursed so harshly earlier. His goal had been nothing more than a quick death.
He probably didn't expect to encounter Zhou Shu in such a desperate situation.
There was no one else with this kind of luck.
"Let's walk around and see what the configuration of the Demon Realm army is like." Zhou Shu shot Xiao Jianghe a look.
Now was the best chance to understand the Demon Realm army. No matter how good a scout was, he probably wouldn't be able to infiltrate the enemy ranks.
The goal of the Demon Realm army led by Yao Li was to encircle and suppress the human army. If they could grasp this army's strength, Zhou Shu and the others would be able to launch a targeted defense or even counterattack.
Xiao Jianghe naturally knew the importance of this. He nodded and left expressionlessly to stroll around the camp.
Although Xiao Jianghe was nervous at first, he eventually calmed down. In any case, even Great Demon Yao Li couldn't see through their disguise, so what was there to worry about?
Xiao Jianghe went to understand the situation of the Demon Realm army while Zhou Shu paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back.
"Yao Qing!"
Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the ugly demonic beast who had brought him back.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Shu said coldly.
Yao Qing was a cold person.
"Yao Qing, I have something to ask you," Yao Jun said.
Zhou Shu looked at him without saying anything.
Yao Jun continued, "I heard that humans can break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation by using weapons. Is that true?"
Zhou Shu was silent as he stared at Yao Jun.
Yao Jun felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He frowned and said, "Your father is a human forger. Is your strength related to this?
"What would it cost me to ask your father to forge a weapon for me?"
Zhou Shu frowned.?A demonic beast is interested in weapons?
This isn't a good sign!
Humans were born inferior to demonic beasts. The reason why they could fight against demonic beasts was that they could use weapons.
If the demonic beasts also started to use weapons, coupled with the advantage of their bodies, the human race would be in even more danger.
This is a very bad idea. Very bad. I have to nip it in the bud!
"Are you questioning my talent?" Zhou Shu said coldly. "I'm powerful because I'm stronger than you. What does it have to do with weapons?
"That kind of thing will only drag down our strength. Yao Jun, do you know why you're at the bottom of the first-rank demonic beasts? It's because you're not capable and think too much.
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to become a Great Demon for the rest of your life." Zhou Shu waved his fist. "We are demonic beasts. We are born with sharp claws and hard fists. You actually want to throw away your advantage and learn how to use weapons like humans. How foolish!"
Zhou Shu's voice was like a thunderclap, causing Yao Jun's head to buzz.
Zhou Shu had even secretly used the Visualization of the Five Mountains' True Form to suppress Yao Jun.
As expected, Yao Jun's face turned pale. His eyes were blank as he muttered to himself, "Did I think wrong? Yes, I'm a demonic beast. Why should I think of using human weapons? I forgot my roots. I'm confused!"
Yao Jun screamed, put his head in his hands, and ran away.
Zhou Shu nodded in satisfaction. He felt a great sense of accomplishment for enlightening a lost lamb.
Since he was a demonic beast, then he should just behave like a demonic beast. What was he thinking?
Clap clap clap—
"Nephew Yao Qing, you are indeed knowledgeable." Yao Li's voice sounded. He walked toward Zhou Shu. As he walked, he said, "It's taboo to rely on external objects. We demonic beasts are brave and powerful, and we can break anything with a punch. There's no need for weapons.
"I didn't expect you to have such a clear understanding, Nephew. Previously, when your father taught you how to use weapons, I thought you would go astray. Now, it seems that you're not bad," Yao Li said with appreciation.
Zhou Shu pursed his lips and changed the topic. "Lord Yao Li, you're back? Have you caught him?"
"No. The kid got away," Yao Li said gloomily. "The strength of the human race isn't good, but all of them are as slippery as rats—
"I'm not referring to your father," Yao Li explained unnecessarily.
Zhou Shu found this a little strange. From the looks of it, Yao Li was quite respectful to Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian was indeed capable to be able to gain respect even when he lived off a demoness.
If there was a chance, he really wanted to see what kind of person Ji Lutian was.
"I understand. That human has escaped. Lord Yao Li, what will you do next?" Zhou Shu said.
"He can't escape." Yao Mei snorted coldly. "I don't have the patience to play hide-and-seek with him, but the area within a hundred kilometers has already been covered by my army. Where can he run to?"
