The room is not very spacious.
The three lieutenants stood at the door in fear. One of them walked to the table and respectfully handed the badge to the young man: "Lord Shen."
Liu Bin's black shirt was removed and he was tied up and knelt in the middle.
Xiao Qiangwei stood beside him, responsible for watching over him.
The only thing she was curious about now was what Shen Yi wanted to do. Since Liu Bin had been captured, why didn't he take him back to Tingyang County as soon as possible?
"Reporting to Lord Shen, the Black Stone Pond Demon King is a poisonous toad that has lived for more than 4,000 years. It has the cultivation level of the Condensation Pill Realm and is good at using poison. It also occupies the bottomless Black Stone Pond. Even General You can't do anything about it, so he asked General Liu to lead us to guard this place."
The lieutenant spoke in a lower and lower voice.
Obviously, after Liu Bin was injured, they no longer had the strength to defend the city and could only watch as the demon king entered Qingzhou as if he were in an empty city. There was even a trusted lieutenant who concealed the incident and helped cover it up.
"Most of the places guarded by the personal lieutenants are like this. Either the terrain is strange, or the means are shocking and cannot be dealt with. However, they are too close to the Twelve Counties of Qingzhou, and we cannot let the monsters go..."
Xiao Qiangwei subconsciously explained to the other party, and only realized halfway through that Shen Yi could become a close follower and even wander around freely. He must have been treated like a nephew by Mr. Chen for a long time. There is no telling how close their relationship is.
There is no need to talk too much.
Let's talk about something that monster hunters are good at. She shook her head and said, "To be precise, it should be a demon king in the Dancheng realm. It should not be far from the perfect Danning realm."
At this moment, Liu Bin slowly raised his head and stared at Shen Yi behind the desk, his pale face full of sarcasm: "Indeed, it will be enough after you digest this general, so Lord Shen, what else can you do?"
He has done countless things for Qingzhou.
Even this injury was caused by the Poison Toad Demon King.
He just wanted to wait another five years, even at the risk of his life, just because he didn't want his realm to fall and he had to be a close follower and general for the rest of his life.
In the end, he has to be abandoned like a puppet. Where is justice?
"Is it because Master Chen can't tolerate you, so you have to come to Tingyang County to find another way out? How about this, we switch places, hehe!"
The old man laughed loudly, and suddenly a teacup broke on his face, splashing tea all over him.
Shen Yi retracted his palm and said calmly: "I didn't ask you anything, so shut up."
Xiao Qiangwei pursed her lips, and suddenly she admired the other person's calmness.
The letter from General You lay quietly on the table, but after Shen Yi sat down calmly, no one, including Liu Bin, dared to open it and take a look.
Based on this momentum, the generals even felt that General You had given Lord Shen the power to execute first and report later.
Liu Bin buried his head in dismay. He wanted to see what tricks this arrogant boy was trying to play.
"Is it still in Black Rock Pool?"
Shen Yi looked at the others.
It is already difficult to encounter demons in the Chengdan realm, let alone a situation like this where you are in full control and can also ask Silver Bell Demon Catcher to help.
Judging from Jiang Chengyun's expression before, Xiao Qiangwei seemed to have a good relationship with General You.
Although the Black Stone Pond Demon King was the Demon Suppression Division's internal affairs, this was also considered as helping General You, and the other party would not just stand by and watch.
If the demon can be eliminated, as a close lieutenant and having achieved great success, I should thank Xiao Qiangwei, the demon catcher, for her help on behalf of the Demon Suppression Division.
"According to the date, he should be back in the next two days..." The generals lowered their heads in shame.
Xiao Qiangwei frowned as she listened. She really didn't know what to say. This demon had already reached the point where it could enter and leave Qingzhou at will, and it even had a regular pattern. Yet Mr. Liu didn't even plan to inform General You.
The next moment, Shen Yi stood up, and his words made everyone stunned.
"lead the way."
Xiao Qiangwei looked at him in astonishment, and finally realized what the other party was going to do.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but could only smile helplessly. It was possible that the other party was not very clear about the situation in the Black Stone Pond, and did not understand why even General You could not do anything about a demon in the Dan realm.
Once they actually got there, Shen Yi naturally wouldn't continue wasting time on this.
…
Three lieutenant generals took the lead, and hundreds of demon-suppressing captains cleared the way.
We walked around the hillside following a row of wooden buildings, and the ground beneath our feet suddenly became wet and muddy, with a chill in the darkness.
There is a circular depression in front.
Right in the middle, a deep pool about a hundred feet wide comes into view. The water surface is quiet, but one can feel a slight chill even before getting close to it. There is also a strange green mist floating in the water.
Xiao Qiangwei pulled the chain and pushed Liu Bin forward: "If it was a head-on fight, the poisonous toad might not be his opponent, but because of this cold pond, the demon could live on the edge of the twelve counties of Qingzhou for so many years without any trouble."
The demon's innate magical powers are truly envied by warriors.
Although they are clearly in the same realm, the demon can soar into the sky and dive into the deep sea. Even such terrifying extreme cold cannot hurt the Toad King, but instead becomes his protective shelter.
"Now that we've finished, it's time to go."
Xiao Qiangwei sighed. If it was so easy to solve, why would it have been delayed until now?
"No hurry, wait two days."
"You might as well take some time to recuperate so as not to get too seriously injured."
Shen Yi turned and walked towards several temporary tents, where the people from the Demon Suppression Division usually guarded the demons.
"Thank you so much." Xiao Qiangwei's eyelids twitched slightly. After walking for so many days, this was the first time that the other party cared about her. The result of his care was that he took her to stay in this freezing cold place with poisonous fog to "recuperate well."
"You don't really want to ambush Toad Lord out there, do you?"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Qiangwei reacted.
The Toad King never killed Liu Bin, but instead used vicious and evil methods to slowly devour and digest him. It was certainly impossible for him to have mercy on his heart.
The most likely reason is that he doesn't want to risk his life with Liu Bin, and secondly, he is unwilling to let You Longtao transfer a stronger follower.
After such a long time, the Toad King might have relaxed his vigilance... If he really wanted to ambush and kill him, now would definitely be the best opportunity.
"I suddenly thought of a question."
Xiao Qiangwei looked at it doubtfully. If...if the two of them really succeeded in killing the toad monster, then its heart blood...
"What's the problem?"
Shen Yi turned around and casually patted his cloak: "You say."
Xiao Qiangwei stared at him silently. She seemed expressionless, but in fact she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
That's great! Suddenly, I became an outsider, and this matter became the private matter of the Demon Suppression Division.
What's even more outrageous is that, in name, it is the young people who are helping themselves solve the problem.
"I finally understand why you don't like to talk."
She raised her eyebrows, secretly complained, pretending to be a young and reckless person, but in fact she was more shrewd than anyone else.
Shen Yi glanced at Xiao Qiangwei, and seeing that she had no intention of continuing to ask, he turned and went into the tent.
At the beginning, the other party used his aura to exchange for me to escort her here, and said that as long as there was definite news, I could ask the Demon-Suppressing General to take action... He was treating me like a child.
It's true, I can learn a lot from dealing with these monster hunters.
Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Bin lowered his head, but the sneer on his face became more and more intense.
Just relying on a wounded warrior in the Dancheng realm and a young man who practiced some kind of body-tempering method, he wanted to take down the Toad King?
He thought he was doomed, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance of turning around.
After these two people are eaten up, the toad monster might even leave them to continue guarding this place.
…
About a day and night passed.
Xiao Qiangwei closed her eyes and regulated her breathing to heal her injuries. Occasionally, she opened her eyes and looked at the young man in the distance, only to find that the other party was as quiet as a statue. The Turtle Breathing Technique that she had perfected had never been removed... Moreover, practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique to this level was already very exaggerated in itself.
An ordinary Nengdan martial artist who can master three or two of his specialty martial arts to perfection is already considered a rare talent among men.
The other party, on the other hand, wasted his time on the Turtle Breathing Technique.
She was a little curious and asked, "With your talent, you should have been the center of attention since childhood. How come you have such a cautious personality?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi still did not turn back.
Attracting much attention? Yes, it attracted a lot of attention. The dog demon in the western suburbs, the black ape in the eastern mountain, the fox in the northern cliff, there were only a few demons in Baiyun County, and all of them wanted to kill him.
Now we have to include the dragon of Yangchun River and the tiger king of Xitai Mountain.
He leaned quietly against a cool tree, reading these names one by one in his mind, and his mentality became calmer.
At this moment, a fishy and evil aura slowly swept over. It was obvious that the owner of the aura was not nervous at all, and his actions to conceal the aura were very perfunctory.
On the black mud slope diagonally opposite the depression.
A pot-bellied, bald man was burping and patting his belly as he walked towards the cold pond.
As if he had seen something, he smiled and waved to the captains of the Demon Suppression Division: "Thank you for your hard work, please go back. I need to go back and digest it. Please give my regards to your Lord Liu for me."
Several generals lowered their heads unconsciously.
Their backbones had long been broken by Liu Bin's repeated orders, so that they didn't even have the courage to look directly at this demon king.
Xiao Qiangwei stood up suddenly, but found that the black-shirted figure in the distance had already disappeared into the air. Without time to sigh, she also mobilized her inner elixir, and a strong aura suddenly burst out between her palms.
Since it was an ambush, the attack should be the strongest one!
Boom——
Shen Yi stepped down in mid-air, slamming his boots on the bald-headed man's shoulder, and at the same time drew out his ink knife.
After completing the second transformation of the immortal demon, the strength contained in his body would not be much weaker even when facing a demon in the Dancheng realm.
He kicked the bald man to his knees.
The long knife tore through the chill and suddenly slashed into the opponent's neck, spraying dark green blood plasma.
Toad King half-knelt on the ground, tightly gripping the blade.
Xiao Qiangwei arrived at the same time, and smashed down the demon with a violent palm.
Faced with such a brutal ambush.
The Toad King was obviously a little surprised, but he held the knife in one hand and looked up at the attacking Xiao Qiangwei.
The cut on his neck was very deep, and dark green blood plasma was oozing out. But a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I was speaking to you in a nice way, why are you taking advantage of me?"
Let me talk about the realm that everyone is asking about. The Ningdan realm is a big realm, but it is divided into several steps.
Young Dan (the two sons of the Mountain King), Complete Dan (Jiao King Zhang Hengzhou), Perfect Dan (Mountain King), Embraced Dan (Twelve Generals, Golden Bell Monster Catcher, White Deer) Broken Dan does not count, because after the broken Dan is the next realm.
