Chapter 28: Capturing the Magic Beast
The key was taken away by Xiaoyi Xian, so Muli had to move the remaining treasure back and wait for another opportunity to snatch Xiaoyi Xian's things.
"Have you opened the stone box that you brought back from the mountain cave?" Mu She's gaze swept around the hall, and his tone suddenly changed as he asked.
"The stone box key is in Xiaoyi's hands, although I've already asked the best locksmith in Qing Shan Town to come. However, judging from the situation, it seems that there's little hope." Mu Li frowned and said.
"If it really doesn't work, then try forcing it open. Being able to freely place over 700,000 gold coins and some rare medicinal herbs inside the cave is a testament to that person's strength. It shouldn't be low."
"What he left behind must be something extraordinary." Mu She's fist clenched tightly, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm." He nodded. Mu Li licked his lips and asked in a low voice, "Father, what do you plan to do about Little Medical Immortal?"
"Do you know what she got in the cave?"
Mu shook his head helplessly. Mu's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand. He said thoughtfully: "For the time being, let's not make a move on her. That woman has too great a reputation in Qing Shan Town. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will provoke the resentment of those lone mercenaries."
"Can't just let her stay peacefully in Wan Yao Ting?"
"Heh heh. Want to live a peaceful life? Naturally, it's impossible. Tomorrow, let the rumors spread. Say that Little Medicine Immortal has obtained a certain powerful being's legacy. And the legacy is very likely... to be the Xuan Stage's Dou Qi Gong Fa." Yin voice chuckled. Mu She coldly smiled and said: "That Little Medicine Immortal indeed has excellent medical skills. However, her own strength is too weak. Moreover, not everyone in this world is a good person. There will always be some greedy guys who will think of ways to get that so-called legacy from Little Medicine Immortal's hands... As for how to deal with these people, let her worry about it herself."
"This move is not bad. If even Wan Yao's heart is moved by this 'relic', then the little doctor's protective umbrella will be gone. Haha, at that time, it will be easy to capture her, as easy as turning one's hand over." Mu Li's mouth corner rose with a pleased smile, and he laughed loudly.
He nodded slightly, and Mu She's palm gently stroked a scar below his ear, saying lightly: "The little medical fairy is not a threat, what I'm most worried about is that mysterious young guy you mentioned."
At this time, the young man in their mouths was chatting with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who was avoiding all mercenaries.
"Is that a sixth-order magical beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?" Xiao Xing Meng looked at it, and this magical beast had an enormous body, about 7-8 meters long, with a layer of purple crystal covering its surface. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly, almost dazzling to the eyes. The beast's head was that of a lion with a ferocious appearance, its eyes glowing with an eerie purple light, and its huge mouth full of sharp teeth. On top of its head was a fiery red spiral horn, surrounded by a cluster of purple flames that swirled around it. Its massive body had a pair of purple wings on its sides, which flapped to create a wave of pale purple flames that shot out like a flamethrower, covering the sky and earth. Its four thick claws were also wrapped in a layer of purple crystal, and every time they touched down, the air would tremble, making it hard to imagine just how powerful it was.
Xiao Xing Meng and Xiao Yi Xian parted ways, then ran to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to find the lion that was about to fight with Yun Yun. Yun Yun already had a teacher, plus her age and status, she was also relatively straightforward and kind, so Xiao Xing Meng wasn't interested in pulling her into her villainous camp. Although her teacher was already his own little brother, but Yun Yun didn't know that Yun Shan had already leaned towards the Soul Temple.
But anyway, since I'm free and have nothing to do, I'll just go help her negotiate with the Violet Crystal Winged Lion King first. She's selling personal feelings, so in the future, everyone won't end up in a situation where good and evil are at odds, killing beauties and whatnot. Xiao Xing Meng really doesn't want that.
"What brings you here, human?" asked the Violet Crystal Winged Lion King, its demonic intuition telling it that this human, who was only at the level of a Fighting King, was extremely terrifying.
"Hey, honestly, this world is indeed more pleasant with monsters. Soon someone will come to trade some of your stuff, like your Purple Spirit Crystal or something, you just need to communicate with others..."
"In exchange for this Transforming Pellet, I'll give it to you, how about that?"
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was startled by the other party's big handwriting, his eyes fixed tightly on the Transformation Dan taken out by Xiao Xing Meng, and he hastily nodded in response.
Xiao Xing Meng threw the Huaxing Dan over, he wasn't worried about the demon beasts being treacherous, on the contrary, high-level demon beasts would be more straightforward, these levels of demon beasts were similar to Medusa, all relatively straight-shooting. Anyway, having nothing better to do, he sat down and chatted with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The amethyst winged lion king had never seen a human so bold and yet wanting to chat with a demon beast, but since he had brought such a great gift, he started chatting with this strange guy. As it turned out, the two of them got along unexpectedly well, becoming more and more delighted as they chatted on. The amethyst winged lion king even ordered his subordinates to bring some special mountain delicacies from the demon beast mountains, which Xiao Xing Meng hadn't had in a long time since he left the Xiao family, so he dug in without hesitation.
In this world, the demons are more straightforward than humans, they value loyalty and revenge, Xiao Xing Meng has a good impression of these straight-shooters, so he prepared many low-level demon-favorite transformation pills on himself. Therefore, for this purple crystal winged lion king who is about to have a big battle with Yun Yun, Xiao Xing Meng just planned to reason with it, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a straightforward guy.
"Speaking of which, you're the most incomprehensible human I've ever met. Most humans who encounter us demons are all about screaming and killing, but you... cough, actually came to give me a Transformation Dan and brought up such a strange reason? Even if we were to compare my most precious Purple Crystal Source from my lair with your Transformation Dan, it's still far from being enough." The Purple Winged Lion King asked with a tilted head.
After taking a sip of wine, Xiao Xing Meng replied: "Hey, if I wanted to, why would I need to exchange with you? Honestly, it's easy for me to take you down, but I'm not really into slaughter; humans are indeed sinister and barbaric, they'd just rob you if they had the power! I actually prefer your straightforwardness, don't die on me in the future!"
The amethyst winged lion king hung its head in silence, understanding Xiao Xing Meng's words. Since ancient times, not a few humans had set their sights on the treasures on the magical beasts' bodies and come to the Magical Beast Mountains to adventure, one after another. The amethyst winged lion king had already defeated many people, but after all, this world was still dominated by humans, and it couldn't help but worry that one day it would be killed by some powerful human. It wasn't afraid of death itself, but its son was still young and not yet independent - what would happen to him in the future?
Taking a glance at the person in front of him, he thought: Perhaps... he will be the hope for the rise of the Amethyst Winged Lion clan?
"Human, if I am willing to serve you, can you give me another Shape-Shifting Pill?" asked the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Is your thinking skipping too fast? Or is this just Warcraft thinking? What's the point of saying this out of nowhere? I do have the Shape-shifting Pill, are you willing to dedicate your life for it?" Xiao Xing Meng was almost driven mad by this guy's jumping thoughts.
"And you, are a strong and reliable human. We beastmen will never betray others after pledging our loyalty, you're stronger than me, and perhaps your loyalty is my greatest bargaining chip." The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's face was serious, if the other party agreed, then immediately the other party would become his master. But in exchange, he and his son would gain a much better, safer life from now on.
For Xiao Xing Meng, it was originally just because of boredom to chat with the Lion King, but unexpectedly, he thought that he himself was a potential stock and good master, so he decided to rely on him, bringing his family along, and from then on, no longer wandering around. This was something that Xiao Xing Meng had never expected.
It doesn't matter, maybe it's also "ape dung". The demon beast is a major force in the Doupo continent, but the distribution of the demon beast's clan is more scattered than that of humans. If we can get the help of the demon beast, the Soul Clan will become the dark king of the Doupo continent more steadily.
After some thought, Xiao Xing Meng took out a Shape Transformation Pill from his Nascent Soul and tossed it over, saying: "Alright, you can take this Shape Transformation Pill too, but you don't need to acknowledge a master. From now on, you'll follow me as my disciple, however... I have to leave for a while first to make some arrangements for your clan. Speaking of which..."
Xiao Xing Meng paused for a moment and said: "Do you like being the guardian deity of the mountain or something?"
