Chapter 773 Golden Crab
Qingyang followed Xie Jiang along the way and also observed many patterns. The monks on the island were able to build foundations, refine Qi, and open pulses, while the monsters were only at level four or five. Qingyang could also understand this. Monsters are different from humans. Low-level monsters have almost no intelligence and low obedience. They only act on instinct. It is too difficult to manage. It is better to restrict them outside.
Under the leadership of Xie Jiang, it didn't take long for everyone to see a tall city. The scale of this city was several times larger than Duanmu City on Wucheng Island. The city lord's palace inside was also layered with tall buildings and palaces. It is very impressive, not much worse than Xianmen Qingfeng Palace.
Back when Qingyang entered Hua Qingyao's cave in Yinfeng Gorge, compared with this one, it was like heaven and earth. Hua Qingyao's cave was not even as good as a mouse hole. It especially shows how oppressive the monsters on the Kyushu Continent live. Qu.
The five people entered the city lord's mansion all the way. Looking at the various pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and palaces inside, Qingyang couldn't help but marvel. How could this be the Demon King's Cave Mansion? The Prime Minister's Palace in the world was just like this. This rampant demon Wang didn't know how much effort it took to build it.
Xie Jiang led them through the house and finally came to a main hall. After reporting the guards outside the main hall, the five of them entered the main hall together and saw a huge golden-armored crab.
That's right, it's a giant golden crab.
This golden-armored crab has a huge body. The shell on its back alone is more than one foot wide. It is yellow and orange. Although it is lying on the ground, it is also about ten feet tall. Its eight legs are stretched out, like a mobile fortress. Don't let people get close. The two front claws, in particular, look extremely huge, like two huge pincers, and are covered with barbs, which is daunting.
According to Qingyang's observation, if this golden-armored crab fights with people, it does not need magical weapons or spiritual weapons at all. Just a hard shell is like wearing a high-grade spiritual weapon, and his two The front claws should be the hardest part of his body, and their strength is no less than the best spiritual weapons. With its super attack and defense power, it can be invincible.
As for the opponent's cultivation level, Qingyang could roughly feel that it was almost equivalent to a monk at the peak of the third level of the Golden Core. If he appeared in this place, and there was a golden-armored crab with such cultivation level, who else could it be besides the Rampant Demon King? No wonder he sent Xie Jiang to find an alchemist to help refine the elixir. It seemed that the Rampant Demon King was on the verge of a breakthrough and wanted to use the Demon Barrier Pill to break through his cultivation.
This rampant demon king looks like a golden-armored crab, but is dressed like a human monk. He wears tailor-made clothes and seems to have shoes on his feet. He looks nondescript, and what’s even more peculiar is that, Qingyang could also see the expressions of joy and anger on his face.
In fact, this is normal. Once the monster beasts open their spiritual intelligence, they will unconsciously imitate human monks, pursue everything that human monks have, automatically classify themselves as higher beings, and no longer look down on the low-level monster beasts they once were. He hated his past background.
In the eyes of monsters, human monks represent civilization, advancedness, and the ultimate form. Otherwise, why would monsters transform? Why is it still in human form? Instead of humans needing to transform into monsters? This may seem simple, but it contains the most profound principles of heaven and earth.
Qingyang and others are just monks in the middle stage of foundation building. Even with the bonus of alchemy master status, they are not enough to welcome the seventh-level demon king. Being able to meet them here in person is already because of Qingyang, the future alchemist. The king's face was gained.
Seeing the Rampant Demon King, Xie Jiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission. Not only did they find the two alchemists Lu Yuan and Xia Meng, but they also found the more powerful alchemist Qingyang."
Xie Jiang had already sent the news about Qingyang and others back to Hengxing Island, otherwise Hengxing Demon King would not be waiting here specially. When Xie Jiang introduced him, the Hengxing Demon King’s small eyes were on the three of them one by one. After sweeping it, it finally landed on Qingyang. After looking up and down for a long time, he said angrily: "King Thousand Hands Alchemy is the most famous Alchemy King in the Zhongsha Region in the past thousand years. Even I admired his former style. I didn’t expect that his inheritance would end up in your hands. He is young, has extraordinary alchemy skills, and has extraordinary strength. His future achievements are limitless.”
Faced with the praise from the Rampant Demon King, Qingyang could only humbly say: "The Demon King is overly complimentary."
The rampaging demon king nodded towards Qingyang, then turned his gaze to the other two people, and said: "You two are also famous alchemists in the nearby sea area, otherwise I would not let Xie Jiang make a special trip to invite you back. This time I’ll leave the refining of the Demonic Barrier Pill to you.”
If Qingyang was not around, Lu Yuan and Xia Meng would definitely be happy to be praised like this by the Rampant Demon King. Now that the other party praised Qingyang first, and then the two of them, they always felt like they were just a foil, and the two couldn't help but Somewhat frustrated.
The Demon King Hengxing also seemed to see the gap between the two of them, and said: "You should know that this time is of great importance. I almost emptied most of the treasury. It was not easy to gather these five materials, which can be said to be the last resort." You have to be cautious when fighting against the odds.”
The Rampant Demon King has said so, what else can Lu Yuan and Xia Meng say? The two of them could only say respectfully: "Don't worry, Demon King. We understand the seriousness of the matter and will not let personal grudges affect your major events. We will definitely do our best to refine the Demon Barrier Pill."
Hearing Lu Yuan and Xia Meng's attitude, Hengxing Demon King put on a smile on his face and said: "That's very good. I'll leave the refining of the Demon Barrier Pill to the three of you. If the refining can be successful, as promised, The remuneration will not be in arrears, and you will be the guests of my Demon King’s Mansion from now on.”
Xie Jiang had already paid the three of them a deposit of 3,000 spirit stones before they set out, and the other half would be paid after the matter was completed. The cost of hiring an alchemist alone cost the rampant demon king 6,000 spirit stones, which showed that the rampant demon king was rich and powerful, and was not comparable to ordinary local tyrants. It also proved that the rampant demon king valued this demon barrier pill.
Although the effect of the demon barrier pill on demon beasts was not as good as the effect of the golden pill on human cultivators, it was not much worse. Qingyang estimated that in order to refine this demon barrier pill, the rampant demon king spent no less than 100,000 spirit stones just to gather the materials. So, 6,000 spirit stones to hire an alchemist was not expensive. That is to say, there was no real alchemy king in the nearby sea area, otherwise, the rampant demon king would invite someone to ensure success no matter how much it cost.
At the end, perhaps because he was afraid of putting too much pressure on the three people, the rampant demon king said: "Of course, you don't have to feel too much pressure. As long as you try your best, even if the refining fails in the end, I won't make it difficult for you. But don't think about rewards and rewards."
