Blood Demon Fruit

"I originally thought that the last time Jiufang Mingyuan was poisoned was the best opportunity to get rid of him, but the Saint Girl showed up and ruined everything."

"I never thought she could defeat the Immortal God of War despite being seriously injured. She is truly a nuisance and must be eradicated as soon as possible."

…

Hearing someone come in, they stopped talking and turned to look over.

The demon king, Yinxue, was originally a rare white lion. He was so proud of his bloodline that even in human form, he retained his lion's head. His bright yellow pupils fell on Yiwu, examining her carefully.

Yin Xue twitched his nose, his expression wary. "Hei Chao, why did you bring back all these weird monsters? I smell something strange on him. Could he be a fairy in disguise?"

The demon king did not raise his voice deliberately, but the natural pressure still made Yi Wu breathless and she did not dare to look up.

"Immortals?" Hei Chao was startled. He turned to look at Yi Wu and shook his head. "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. It's just a little black bird. How could it be an immortal? The smell of immortals makes me sick. He's definitely not one of them."

"He said he was a subordinate of Lady Snake, and that he had come to seek refuge with me, and that he had good news for the king."

Yin Xue leaned lazily on the back of the chair and crossed his legs. "Tell me about it."

"I heard that the king has been particularly worried about the matter of the Demon Saint recently, and this little black bird just happened to bring news about Yiwu." Heichao looked at Yinxue, then turned to look at the man in black sitting in the first seat below, and reported the secret that Yiwu had just told him to the two of them.

Yin Xue and the man in black stared at each other for a moment, then turned to Yi Wu. The man in black asked, "How did you know that Yi Wu practiced evil magic? What are the characteristics of that magic?"

Yi Wu raised her head slightly, her eyes quickly sweeping over the Demon King and the man in black, and replied softly, "I heard it from other demons, but I don't know what the characteristics are."

After answering the question, she lowered her head again.

Unexpectedly, the timing was so fortuitous. Just as they were trying to find a way to enter the Demon King's village, they ran into him meeting with the demons.

The man was wrapped up tightly, with his face covered by a hat, so he couldn't be seen clearly. Even his voice was deliberately changed, so Yi Wu couldn't recognize it at all.

The only thing that could be clearly sensed was the demonic energy that filled his body.

In just a few breaths, Yi Wu went through almost all the demons she knew in her mind, looking for suspicious people.

The Demon King and the man in black didn't ask her any more questions, but whispered to each other.

"I think so. My nephew and sister both died at her hands, but neither the demon nor their bodies were found alive. Could it be that Yiwu took their bodies away?"

The man in black didn't answer immediately. After a moment's contemplation, he said with sudden realization, "So that's how it is. If my guess is correct, she must have been secretly practicing the forbidden magic of the demon race, the Devouring Magic."

"If she had mastered the Devouring Magic, everything would be explained. The demons that died at her hands had long been devoured and refined by her, becoming a part of her body. No matter how hard others searched, they wouldn't be able to find a single trace of them."

"Devouring Magic?" Yin Xue frowned, thinking of a certain demon from the past. "Over the years, the demon tribe has only produced one person who has mastered Devouring Magic to perfection. I didn't expect another one to appear now. It seems this woman is quite troublesome."

The man in black laughed heartily, his laughter echoing far and wide, making one's scalp tingle. When he had finished laughing, he waved his hand, "Don't be afraid. She's not the same person as before. Anyone who could use the Devouring Magic to devour themselves and rebuild their body would explode and die sooner or later. Even if she knew, the pain would be unbearable for ordinary people."

"Don't worry, I know how to deal with her. We must not let her ruin our plan."

He stood up and bowed casually, "I've gained a lot today. Goodbye, Brother Yinxue."

The man in black turned into a wisp of black smoke and floated out of the window. Yin Xue watched him leave, then laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and stood up. "Great, great! You two have performed a great service, you deserve a reward. Little one... what's your name?"

Judging from the black-clad figure's expression, he must have thought of a way to deal with Yi Wu. Having gotten rid of this major worry, Yin Xue was in a very good mood, and he also felt much more comfortable with this little demon of unknown origin.

Yi Wu quickly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Hei Yu."

"Okay, from today on, you're Hei Chao's deputy. Work hard, and you'll be rewarded." Yin Xue casually grabbed some dark red fruit from a nearby jar and tossed it to Hei Chao, "Take it, it's your reward."

Hei Chao held it in his arms like a treasure, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Seeing this, Yi Wu also bent down and bowed her head, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Yin Xue waved her hand, and Hei Chao retreated with foresight, taking Yi Wu away.

When he walked out of the door, the other captains saw that he was holding so many fruits in his hands. They were so envious that their eyes turned red, and they all rushed in to ask the Demon King for rewards.

Yiwu followed the black tide with her head down, feeling quite worried.

Many secrets were uncovered during today's trip, such as the fact that there was indeed a traitor in the demon clan who was colluding with the monster clan and plotting something in private, but she also exposed her own secrets.

I didn't expect that the man in black could guess so accurately that the evil magic practiced by Yiwu was the magic of devouring magic. If he told the demons about this, the demons would definitely execute her for practicing forbidden magic.

Use Devouring Magic to devour yourself and reshape your body...

Yi Wu was wondering what the deeper meaning of this sentence was when Hei Chao stopped and she stopped too.

He counted the fruits carefully, there were eight in total. He picked up one with reluctance and handed it to Yi Wu, "Here you go."

"Thank you, big brother." Yiwu reached out to take it, looked at what was in her hand, and then looked at what was in Heichao's hand.

The fruit is dark red, with a smooth and shiny surface, and exudes a faint and tempting fragrance, with a hint of blood.

"What are you looking at? The king only gave you eight, so giving you one is already good enough..." As he spoke, Hei Chao began to feel guilty, so he took another and put it in her hand, "Okay, okay, I'll give you another one."

"Don't say that Big Brother treats you badly. This blood demon fruit is very beneficial to cultivation. Ordinary demons are not qualified to enjoy it. Only those who receive the reward from the King are qualified to taste it."

"Blood Demon Fruit?" Yi Wu's eyes sparkled as she looked at him pleadingly, "Big Brother, please be kind and give me two more. Otherwise, there won't be enough for the four of us brothers to share."

Hei Chao slapped her on the back of the head, almost sending Yi Wu flying. "You idiot, who told you to divide it? Don't you know you're eating it all by yourself?"

After saying this, he tilted his neck back and stuffed the remaining six fruits into his big mouth. He chewed them and swallowed them, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Yi Wu shook her head and imitated him, tilting her head back and stuffing the fruit into her mouth, chewing it and swallowing it.

Hei Chao patted her shoulder cheerfully and said, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would have known that the king rewarded you with the Blood Demon Fruit? Well, go and rest. Your room is over there. We'll have to go out and hunt again after two or three days."

He walked away staggeringly, not noticing that Yi Wu had hidden the two blood demon fruits.

Just now she was just pretending to eat the fruit, but she didn't actually put the Blood Demon Fruit into her mouth.

Blood Demon Fruit, Blood Demon Vine, the names are exactly the same. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the fruit of the Blood Demon Vine. The last time I saw the Blood Demon Vine, I didn't see any fruit on it. Where did they pick this from?

With a head full of questions, Yiwu returned to the small house where the demons lived. Linghua, Liuyu and Changyao were already waiting inside.

There were other monsters in the room, and they were not allowed to speak. Even if they were very anxious, they could not ask.

It was time for dinner, and the other monsters in the house shouted at each other and left, and finally only the four of Yiwu were left.

Ling Hua waved his hand and cast a soundproof barrier. "So, what information did you get from the Demon King?"

"When Hei Chao and I entered, the Demon King was conferring with a black-clad demon." Yi Wu raised her hand, signaling them to remain calm, and continued, "They want to take Jiufang Mingyuan's life. It seems they are not Jiufang Mingyuan's subordinates. It is almost certain that there is a traitor among the demons."

This news is really bad, but it is also understandable.

Liu Yu said with a serious expression, "Both the Immortals and the Demons are being manipulated by the Demons. If we hadn't come here today, we would have been fighting the Demons until we were bloodied and bruised, and we wouldn't have known what was going on."

Changyao pounded her fist on the table and cursed softly, "How dare you, a mere beast, dream of becoming the ruler of heaven and earth!"

Yi Wu reached out and took out a blood demon fruit from her bosom and handed it to Ling Hua. "This is a treasure that the Demon King gave to Hei Chao. It's called the Blood Demon Fruit. I heard it's very beneficial for the demon race's cultivation."

"Blood Demon Fruit? The fruit of the Blood Demon Vine?" Ling Hua took the fruit and looked at it carefully.

This fruit looks unusual, and I don’t know what its function is yet. I can only put it away for now and hand it over to the Medical Master for careful study.

After asking about the situation on the Demon King's side, Ling Hua and the others told Yi Wu what they saw in the cellar, and the four of them began to discuss how to rescue those people in the cellar.

There are many demons stationed in the village. It is not easy for the four of them to rescue so many mortals, immortals and demons.

Just when he was getting anxious, the door was kicked open by the wolf demon. "Brother Yu, why don't you guys go to eat? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all brothers."

"I heard that the king promoted you to vice-captain, and the brothers are all waiting to celebrate for you... What are you guys doing hiding in the house?"

She was made deputy captain right after arriving, and the wolf demon was quite dissatisfied with her, and was trying his best to find fault with them.

Yi Wu stood up and walked out, pushing the wolf demon out. "Brother Wolf, to be honest, I'm worried about how I can handle such an important task. How about you talk to my eldest brother for me? I think Brother Wolf is the most capable among the brothers. Of course, you should be the deputy captain, right?"

Ling Hua and the others also stood up and followed him to the dining area.

"Look at what you're saying," the wolf demon pretended to refuse, then tested the king, "Since the king has appointed you as vice-captain, he must be impressed by Brother Yu's talent. If you don't accept the position, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the king?"

Yi Wu waved her hands repeatedly, "How dare I, Brother Wolf, please don't say anything nonsense."

They entered the cafeteria while joking with each other, and the next moment, the leopard demon, the leader of the twelve captains, came to deliver a message.

"Pass on the king's order. From now on, no more immortals or monks responsible for searching for the Qingguang Halberd are allowed to be captured. Once that lord eliminates Yi Wu and the immortals find the Qingguang Halberd, our bright future will be just around the corner."

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar..."

All the demons cheered in unison for their bright future.

In order to fit in, Yiwu and the others had to raise their hands high and cheer like the demons.
