You can't stop taking the medicine, even a half-demon can turn into a dragon

Chapter 69 Weakness is the original sin

The snow stopped.

Luohe River was also completely frozen.

After being promoted to the fourth level of spirit refining, all the qualifications of Su Wu's demon body have been improved.

Including the total amount of Qi and blood, the upper limit of the amount of spiritual energy, one's own strength, mental acuity, the strength of the soul, etc.

Qualifications have also improved.

This allowed the second level of Qingyun Sword Technique, which was originally slow to practice, to slightly increase its speed, changing from a snail to a tortoise.

Realm: Fourth Level of Spiritual Refining 10/100↑

Three dimensions: strength 5.8↑; spirit 5.9↑; physique: 5.9↑

Kung Fu: Qingyun Sword Technique 15nd level 100/0↑, Jiao Scale Skill 100st level /

Magic: blood refining, skin shedding

Array/Elixir/Tool: Seal of Curse (Array)

The harvest has been fruitful, and the strength has almost doubled compared to before.

"Going to Luo City to rescue the fox girl? Do you need to be at the sixth level of spiritual refining or above? I think you are looking for death!"

"The immortal cultivators of the Qingyun Sect are conducting the annual recruitment ceremony in Lijia Village. They need three demons who are above the fourth level of spirit refining to cooperate with each other and intercept them on the road?"

"It's not right, it's too risky."

"And this, the fox girl falls in love with a human scholar, kills the scholar and captures the fox girl? Isn't this beating a mandarin duck? This is too immoral, we won't do it."

Su Wu once again came to the Zhoucun Earth Temple, looked at the various tasks posted in the Earth Temple, and murmured in his heart.

"Do you have a chosen mission?"

The fox girl Qing walked slowly with a faint fragrance and lotuses growing under her feet. Beside her, the big toad appeared at some unknown time. The latter was still puffing away clouds and mist, looking as happy as a god.

Su Wu now knows the general situation of the underground world.

Just as he guessed, after the sky cracked, the entire Earth River Basin had fallen, and most of the monsters in the sewage land had retreated to the abandoned mines and the shallow layers of Lincheng.

However, humans are not feeling well either. It is said that the crack in the sky almost wiped out more than half of the invading immortal cultivators, and even several foundation-building stage ones remained underground forever.

The most serious thing is that the sky crack has created many tunnels leading to the ground. These areas are no longer controlled by the three major forces alone. From time to time, little monsters sneak onto the surface.

The two of them also entered the surface by chance, and then encountered human pursuits. They were finally rescued by Bai Ming and entered the earth temple.

"No good mission!"

"But are you fox girls breaking the laws of nature? Look at these tasks, eight out of ten are related to you fox girls!"

Su Wu complained.

"This is because most of the tasks nowadays are entrusted by the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance. You should know the status of the fox girl in the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance."

Fox Girl Qing smiled slightly.

Although the Earth Temple claims to yearn for freedom and resist the oppression of the three major forces and the enslavement and hunting of humans, in the final analysis, it is still a member of the demon clan.

The monsters here also need to survive and resources.

Therefore, the relationship with the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, which is good at business, is not that tense, and the cooperation between the two is relatively comprehensive.

"If you don't have a mission, how about taking a look at this?"

The fox girl picked up a mission wooden sign and handed it to Su Wu.

——Mission: Exploring intelligence

——Explanation: Near Lijia Village in the Qingyun Mountains, there are rumors that an underground cave has been discovered, and unknown creatures have appeared, which are suspected to be underground monsters in Luo City. Please go and investigate carefully to obtain detailed information.

——Reward: Two to four level 0 herbs, depending on the detailed information.

"The mission was issued by the Earth Temple Headquarters, and many demon clans have already accepted it. However, the intelligence brought back is very little, and no useful information has been found."

"It just so happens that I have a mission to go to Lijiacun. If you are interested in this exploration mission, why not go and have a look?" The fox girl took out her mission wooden sign and shook it.

Su Wu was originally prepared to refuse. After all, the usual routine in novels is: if you go out on a team mission, you will definitely encounter trouble.

But after seeing the content of Fox Girl Qing's mission, her heart moved and she frowned slightly.

——Task: Investigation

——Explanation: Recently, many villagers in Lijia Village have encountered strange sneak attacks. The symptoms are that they are covered in blood and their bodies are haggard. It is suspected that zombies are responsible. Please go investigate, bring back zombies, and deal with any possible zombie villagers.

——Reward: Some first-level medicinal herbs.

"This mission"

Su Wu hesitated.

He understands bringing back zombies. After all, these things are like a medicinal plant, and there are many places where body parts can be used. If his head is white and stiff, the second level of the medicine guide of his Qingyun Sword Technique also exists.

He couldn't help but feel moved.

But what he couldn't understand was why the rigid villagers should be dealt with? According to the nature of the demon clan, wouldn’t it be better if more humans die?

This task requirement looks like it is solving trouble for Li Cun.

"Is it difficult to understand?"

"I was just like you in the beginning."

Fox Girl Qing sighed slightly and continued: "But the above-ground world is different from the underground world. The situation faced by our Earth Temple is more complicated, and we cannot just kill blindly."

"Just like this Li Village, they will cook sheep and slaughter cows at fixed seasons, offer three animals, and worship the earth temple. They will even offer many resources, such as medicinal herbs, currency in human circulation, etc."

"Even Zhou Cun is like this right now."

Su Wu was slightly startled, a little surprised.

He couldn't help but think of his previous life. According to legend, mortals would worship the river god, worship demons, and make various offerings for protection.

And is that not the case now?

"So, is this in exchange for our protection? Is it like this for Li Village, or like this for Zhou Village? The peace charms that hunters spend half of their body blood to obtain every time they go into the mountains actually have no big effect at all. It's just that we demon clan don't Would you touch a hunter carrying a peace charm?"

"What we need for practice also come from these offerings?"

"This"

Su Wu took a deep breath and continued after a long time: "Do they know about us? Those immortal cultivators won't take action?"

"Immortal cultivators? They are obsessed with cultivating immortals and asked, apart from being more interested in hunting us monsters, what does the life and death of mortals have to do with them?"

"Moreover, this is actually a tacit agreement between the three parties. Since we are enshrined, we will not harm those mortals, and the immortal cultivators will also save a lot of energy."

The fox girl explained.

Su Wu nodded, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

In the current model, if the lives of mortals are guaranteed, more benefits can be created, and the number of immortal cultivators will also increase. The monsters are enshrined by mortals, fattened up and then killed, but they gain more.

No matter what, those high-ranking immortal cultivators will not lose. As long as they complete the task of harvesting regularly and prevent the demon clan from over-expanding, then this will be a steady stream of long-term benefits.

‘So the Earth Temple will be a breeding ground for immortal cultivators? Even if it wasn't, it was still the so-called Earth God's breeding farm. ’

Su Wu felt cold in his heart.

I feel more and more uneasy about the problem of the Earth Temple.

But before harvesting the future, this matter can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart and prepared secretly.

After all, who among this group of demons who have been brainwashed and yearn for freedom can believe that they are prey in captivity.

Sad, deplorable!

Being in the middle of the game is like a frog in the well.

Being weak is the original sin!
