Liu Jiang chuckled and continued to gather fear.
Another heart-wrenching scream came from the prison.
Liu Jiang looked at the Treasure Tree happily, absorbing the fear, killing intent, and resentment from Big Stick Toad, as well as the fear of the inspectors.
Towards the end, the people from the Inspection Bureau were feeling uneasy from the screams and started to complain to Liu Jiang.
…
Qingzhou, Three Rivers Ridge, in a deep mountain.
Suddenly, there was a violent energy fluctuation and a violent tiger's roar.
"Roar…"
"Boom, boom, boom…"
In the blue sky, intense energy fluctuations kept producing thunderous sounds.
Up close, it was a one-star Gold tiger demon fighting a six-star Silver-level wolf demon.
The wolf demon was pitch-black with wings on his back. He was 2.5 meters long and 1.5 meters tall. His wingspan was 6 meters. Blue electric arcs flickered on his wings.
Although the demon wolf was only a six-star Silver, his speed was unbelievably fast.
He was actually suppressing the one-star Gold tiger demon.
His combat strength was unbelievable.
"Howl…"
The golden-backed tiger demon roared at the sky and pounced on the wolf demon.
A faint smile appeared in the wolf demon's eyes. Blue electric arcs flickered on his huge wings. His huge body turned into a shadow that instantly swept past the tiger demon and tore away a large piece of his flesh.
"Howl…"
The tiger demon went crazy and pounced on the wolf demon.
"Howl…"
The Thunder-Winged Demon Wolf roared at the sky, and blue electric arcs flashed crazily on his body. Then he spat out an electric arc as thick as an arm and struck the rapidly flying tiger demon.
The tiger demon's huge body trembled violently.
The wolf demon rushed forward, opened his mouth, and bit the tiger's neck. Then he exerted force and tore off the tiger's head.
Then he violently dug out a fist-sized golden demon core and swallowed it.
"Howl…"
The wolf demon licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and roared at the sky. From time to time, a blue electric arc would flash across his huge wings. He looked exceptionally domineering and elegant.
With a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky like a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the horizon.
Soon the wolf demon flew into a cave.
There were three demons in the cave, all of them exuding demonic auras.
Seeing the wolf demon, a pig-headed man walked forward and said nervously, "Demon king, something happened to the toad demon general."
The demon wolf looked at Simpleton Pig coldly. "What's wrong?"
Simpleton Pig said, "I just received news that all our spies in the Eastern Mountain County have disappeared today. We can't contact the toad demon general either."
The wolf demon's heart ached and he closed his eyes.
There was a difference between humans and demons.
The demon had to learn the Breath Concealing Technique to restrain the demonic aura and the Turtle Breath Technique to completely seal the dantian.
However, the demon race's comprehension ability was average to begin with. There were very few demons who could learn both the Aura Concealment Technique and the Turtle Breathing Technique.
So every one of the demons was precious.
The wolf demon's heart ached so much over the loss that it was about to bleed.
He turned his head abruptly and said in a cold voice, "What exactly is going on?"
Simpleton Pig said nervously, "I'm not sure yet."
The wolf demon said, "Toad Demon General's team has gone missing. There's a high chance that they have all been eliminated by humans. Lead a demon team and lurk in the Eastern Mountain County to replace the Toad Demon General's team."
The pig-headed man nodded respectfully. "Yes."
"When you go, find a remote town and slaughter everyone. Then bury them with the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom," the wolf demon said calmly.
There was no need to save any demon once it fell into the hands of humans.
However, humans had to pay the price.
"Yes." The pig demon nodded respectfully, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.
"Before you do anything, use your pig brain and investigate carefully. Don't find a village with silver-level martial artists," the wolf demon instructed.
"I will definitely investigate thoroughly. I guarantee that even a mosquito will be crushed in the town." Simpleton Pig sneered and turned to leave.
The wolf demon instructed the other two demons, "In the next ten days, I'll refine the demon core and break through the seven-star Silver level. The two of you will guard the entrance of the cave for me."
The two demons nodded respectfully. "Yes!"
…
Half an hour later, Liu Jiang left the Inspection Bureau prison in high spirits.
Big Stick Toad lay on the ground like mud, his body covered in sweat. His eyes were filled with fear and despair.
He did not know what happened during this time.
I've gained a lot.
Liu Jiang's face was full of joy.
In just half an hour, he had gathered more than 520,000 points of fear from the toad demon and the inspectors.
There was also 20,000 killing intent, 50,000 envy, and 40,000 jealousy.
And 80,000 resentment.
Since the effect is so good, I'll go there every day.
Liu Jiang chuckled and went to the warehouse of the Inspection Bureau.
The person guarding the warehouse was a young inspector named Quan Guang.
When he saw Liu Jiang, he instantly stood up and said respectfully, "Captain Liu."
Liu Jiang did not put on the airs of a captain at all. He said happily, "Eh, Old Quan, you look very energetic today."
Joy from Quan Guang, +666, +…, envy, +666, +…, jealousy, +555, +…
"Hello, Captain Liu. Is there anything I can do for you?" Quan Guang said respectfully.
"The Chief recorded 200 merit points and 200 taels of silver for me. I came to collect them," Liu Jiang said happily.
Quan Guang immediately began the registration. Then he said respectfully and carefully, "Captain Liu, please sign here."
Liu Jiang wrote his name.
Quan Guang immediately gave Liu Jiang two banknotes worth 100 taels.
After taking the banknotes, Liu Jiang asked, "There are still 200 merit points. I plan to exchange them for spells and martial techniques. What martial techniques and spells do we have in our warehouse?"
"Our warehouse has more than 20 martial techniques and spells. They are divided into three categories: attack, defense, and movement. There are also two perception skills."
Quan Guang took out a booklet and handed it to Liu Jiang. "This is a list of martial techniques and spells, as well as the merit points needed."
Taking the list, Liu Jiang flipped through it and found that it was all human-level martial techniques.
Iron Shirt, a defensive martial technique. When cultivated to perfection, physical defense would increase by 10 times. Required 10 merit points.
After cultivating the Ethereal Footwork to perfection, one's body would be like floating cotton, abnormally agile and agile. It could greatly increase one's combat strength. It required 10 merit points.
…
WIth the Perception Technique, even if other people did not emit magic power fluctuations, he could directly detect their human-level techniques.
At entry level, he would be able to detect martial artists and demons with cultivation levels higher than his.
Initial success would allow him to detect martial artists and demons with cultivations six stars higher than his.
Mastery would allow him to detect martial artists and demons with cultivation levels nine stars higher than his.
Perfected, he could detect martial artists and demons two levels higher than himself.
It required 20 merit points.
…
After Liu Jiang finished flipping through the booklet, he said, "Give me the Iron Shirt Technique and Perception Technique manuals."
"These two spells are not easy to cultivate, especially the perception technique. It costs 20 merit points, and it's especially difficult to cultivate."
Quan Guang reminded him kindly.
"I know." Liu Jiang chuckled. It was quite important to sense the cultivation levels of the enemy and the demon.
If he accidentally encountered a more powerful opponent, it was necessary to escape in advance.
