Chapter 920 Shoushan Copper

There was a vengeful spirit that wanted to pull Yaer from Zhou Wen's arms, but Zhou Wen just waved it away and turned it into ashes.

The demon baby was still lurking in the lake and did not come out with Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen looked at the place where the demon baby was with some surprise and found that those vengeful spirit-like things did not bother the demon baby, as if the demon baby did not exist at all.

"The demon baby won't leave. I'm afraid it thinks there will be a chance. We might as well observe it for a while." Zhou Wen thought about it, then hid in the nearby mountains and forests, observing the battle in the lake.

Soon Zhou Wen discovered that those vengeful spirit-like creatures had no way to leave the lake, as if there was some kind of barrier outside the lake.

"Is it possible that the scarecrow cannot leave the lake?" Zhou Wen wondered in his heart.

The last time he passed by here, the scarecrow did not attack him. At that time, he was walking on the path by the lake, less than two meters away from the lake.

Such a small distance should be nothing to a terrifying creature like the Scarecrow. There are only two possibilities for it not attacking Zhou Wen.

One is that it doesn't want to attack, and the other is that it has no way to leave the lake.

"If the scarecrow really can't leave the lake, maybe there is still a chance to take back the copper ball." When Zhou Wen was thinking, he suddenly heard the voice of Yin Fu King.

"Zhou Wen, let's make a deal. You take me out of the lake, and I'll help you make a contract with the most powerful guardian." King Yin Fu was surprised and delighted when he found out that Zhou Wen had actually rushed out of the lake.

What surprised Zhou Wen was that he was able to escape from the lake. This man always managed to surprise him. He had lived for so many years and had never suffered such a big loss at the hands of a human being without a contract guardian.

What made him happy was naturally that Zhou Wen was able to escape from the lake, as this might be his only chance of survival.

"First, tell me what that copper ball is and what is it used for?" Zhou Wen thought for a moment and shouted towards the lake.

As the Yin Fu King fought the scarecrow, he said, "That's Shoushan Copper."

When Zhou Wen heard the name of Shoushan Copper, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Shoushan Copper is not the name of a kind of copper. Shoushan is a place name. In mythology, Emperor Huangdi went to Shoushan to mine copper and cast a tripod to suppress the destiny of China.

There are many different opinions about where Shoushan is. Several regions claim that their place is the real Shoushan, and Zhou Wen doesn't know which one is true.

However, even if the myths and legends are true, Shoushan Copper is just a metal material used to cast tripods. Is it worth fighting for by beings like Yin Fu King and Scarecrow?

"Don't tell me you stole the Shoushan copper to cast a tripod." Zhou Wen said.

King Yin Fu was in imminent danger of being killed by the scarecrow. After hearing Zhou Wen's words, he felt a little frustrated, but he had to patiently say, "The true value of Shoushan Copper is not the material itself. The so-called Shoushan is not really called Shoushan. It is the place where the Yellow Emperor and Chi You once fought a great battle. Countless warriors from both sides were killed and wounded. The blood of humans, immortals and demons dyed the mountain red and soaked the copper mines within. The Yellow Emperor mined this blood-stained copper to cast a tripod, suppressing the destiny of the ages. What a treasure it is. The Qin Emperor went through untold hardships to find Shoushan Copper, hoping to use the blood of the immortals and demons within the Shoushan Copper to refine the elixir of immortality."

"Unfortunately, even after the Qin Emperor's death, the Shoushan Copper remained unrefined. Instead, the blood and essence within it grew more and more condensed, absorbing the essence within the furnace and forming two copper balls. These two copper balls can be said to be the embryo of the elixir of immortality, or the strongest casting material among humans."

"Is that all?" Zhou Wen felt that King Yin Fu had not finished telling the story of Shoushan Copper.

If that were the case, why would the Scarecrow try to steal it? It is immortal, and it cannot use tools made by humans.

The situation on King Yin Fu's side was not optimistic. His crystal-like body had been contaminated by the Scarecrow's evil spirit in many places, and he could not hold on for much longer.

"If you are willing to help me get out of the lake, we can settle our previous grievances. I can also help you refine Shoushan Copper. Only I know how to refine it..." King Yin Fu tried to persuade Zhou Wen.

"I want to help you, but I don't have the ability to do so." Zhou Wen was not willing to help King Yin Fu out. It would be better for such an old guy to die.

"Even if you don't need to refine Shoushan Copper, you should still need a companion pet. I know the location of the companion pet that Huangdi used back then. That companion pet has returned to the companion egg state. With my help, you will definitely get it." King Yin Fu continued to throw out chips.

Zhou Wen was completely unmoved. He just pretended not to hear what King Yin Fu said.

King Yin Fu saw that Zhou Wen clearly wanted him dead, and it was useless to say anything. He hardened his heart and didn't waste any more words. While he still had strength left, he suddenly rushed forward instead of retreating and crashed into the scarecrow.

Inside the crystal-like body of King Yin Fu, dark golden mysterious symbols flowed, and those mysterious symbols suddenly collided with one place.

boom!

A golden light shot up into the sky, like a nuclear bomb explosion, forming a huge golden mushroom cloud, which caused the entire lake to be blasted into a huge wave.

The powerful shock wave directly shattered the nearby mountains and forests, and the mountain walls collapsed.

Zhou Wen summoned the Tyrant Behemoth to block the front. Di Ting kept monitoring the battlefield and saw the scarecrow's body scattered in the golden explosion.

However, the situation was a little different from what Zhou Wen had imagined. After the scarecrow's body fell apart, it turned into countless vengeful spirits. It seemed that its body had no substance at all, and those straws were made up of vengeful spirits.

The vengeful spirits that were closer to King Yin Fu were directly disintegrated in the terrifying golden light, and many were killed or injured.

A cold light flew out from the explosion, rushed out of the lake, landed on the ground, and disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Wen knew that it must be a backup plan left by King Yin Fu, but he was too late to stop it from escaping. When Zhou Wen rushed over, the cold light had already disappeared into the earth, and it was probably a hundred miles away.

"Can't even kill him?" Zhou Wen felt a little depressed and turned to look at the lake.

I saw that the remaining resentful spirits in the lake were gathering towards one place where there was a black core. All the resentful spirits gathered towards the core, and a large number of them turned into part of the outside of the core, gradually forming the body of the scarecrow.

Before it could condense into a scarecrow again, a dark purple sword light suddenly flashed, and the magic sword of the demon baby pierced through the black magic core.

The moment the magic core was pierced, all the vengeful spirits in the lake let out shrill screams, and then the light of the soul was seen shining brightly, and one by one the vengeful spirits rose towards the sky in the light. The number of them was terrifying, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

When all the vengeful spirits disappeared in the sky, the demon baby was seen flying back to the shore, holding the copper ball in one hand and the magic sword in the other.

The black magic core was still on the magic sword. It was shaped like a walnut, but its texture was like a black gemstone, and it was beating like a heart.

If it weren't for the demon-killing power suppressing the demon core, it would have escaped long ago.

Before Zhou Wen could ask the demon baby what this thing was, the demon baby had already opened its mouth, bit off the demon core like eating a skewer, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into its stomach.
