In the Little Thousand Pure Land, Veins of the Earth and Zhou Tong stared at the peacock egg and fell into deep thought for a long time.
“Does this thing lay eggs?”
Zhou Tong asked in confusion.
"Isn't that nonsense? Otherwise, how can they reproduce?"
The Pulse of the Earth said with disdain.
"That's not right. Aren't peacocks the offspring of phoenixes? Just like mules, I thought they couldn't reproduce."
After these words were spoken, the Veins of the Earth were also stunned.
What Zhou Tong said makes sense.
Normally, a phoenix should give birth to a phoenix, but it gave birth to a peacock and a pheasant instead. That means there must have been a mix-up with another species.
Often this kind of offspring is unable to produce fertile offspring, just like the offspring of a horse and a donkey, which are naturally infertile.
"Never mind, let's try it first!"
With a snap!
The huge peacock egg was put into the cauldron. Soon after, Pulse of the Earth showed his amazing cooking skills. Zhou Tong lit the fire, Lai Fu jumped for joy, and the peacock trembled beside him.
After an hour and a half, the peacock egg soup was freshly cooked.
The moment the lid of the tripod was opened, one could see dancing rays of light, bright auspicious colors, and a fragrance that filled the air, making one intoxicated.
"Eat!"
Zhou Tong's eyes lit up. Before he finished speaking, Pulse of the Earth took the lead in picking up his chopsticks. It was really rude.
It was a silent banquet. In a short while, Zhou Tong Da Di Zhi Mai and Lai Fu had eaten one third of the hundreds of kilograms of egg soup, and they still felt like they were not satisfied.
"Shut up, shut up!"
Suddenly, Zhou Tong picked up the food and pushed the two people who were eating frantically out.
"You guys are so ignorant. I have to leave some for my wife and elders to taste. You don't have any good eyesight at all!"
"Hurry... I'm not full yet... urry..."
Pulse of the Earth patted his abdomen and smacked his lips, his eyes fixed on the peacock again.
"Good things come in pairs. Why don't we kill this thing as well? Just to try something new."
Peacock: "You!"
"No, no, absolutely not. I will never do such a thing as exhausting the resources. If I kill the peacock, how can I get peacock eggs?"
Zhou Tong just felt warm all over. This was really a tonic. After drinking it, it opened up a million small worlds for him and almost helped him break through to the saint level!
Such a treasure cannot be given up easily, so the peacock has to stay.
"I know what you're thinking, but you also have to understand that the reproductive cycle of this kind of mythical beast is very long. It may take a hundred years for it to lay eggs again."
"Um?!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tong stood up with a somersault. He couldn't wait any longer.
"hiss…"
He took a deep breath and looked at Peacock again, which made the other party feel extremely uneasy.
"Crack!"
As if to slap Earth Pulse in the face, the opponent gritted his teeth and exerted more strength, and another egg rolled out, leaving Zhou Tong and Earth Pulse stunned.
"I almost believed your lies, old man!"
Zhou Tong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glared at the other party.
"Raifu!"
“Woof!”
"Listen to me, from today on, you must make the peacock lay two eggs for me every day, otherwise I will kill it!"
“Woof woof!”
Lai Fu jumped up and down excitedly, then he stomped his feet. Vines grew out of the ground, each of them extremely strong, and they intertwined to form a cage, locking the peacock inside.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong's eyes were filled with brilliance. What an inspiring scene!
"It would be great if we could build a mythical beast farm!"
He talked to himself, as if he saw the scene of eating dragon eggs in the morning, pheasant liver at noon, and barbecued big phoenix in the evening.
“Woof woof!”
Lai Fu seemed to sense his master's thoughts and barked several times to show his agreement. He motioned Zhou Tong to find some more divine beasts, as if to say that he was very good at taming these creatures.
"What a remarkable creature."
Pulse of the Earth looked at Lai Fu and sighed with a complicated expression, saying that with his profound knowledge, he knew nothing about this thing.
Even Zhou Tong had to admit that the strange tree was indeed unusual.
This is just one fruit that has grown. According to conservative estimates, the other party can grow at least six more fruits. I wonder what the scene will be like by then?
"What on earth are you doing here?"
Zhou Tong retracted his gaze, stared at the Pulse of the Earth again and said, "You are not here just to eat for free, are you?"
"Of course not!"
Earth Pulse shook his head and asked, "Do you remember why we met in the first place?"
"Of course I remember."
Zhou Tong blurted out.
At first, he discovered that there was a contract between the Vein of the Earth and the demons. Because he was worried that the demons might have some conspiracy, he went against the will of heaven and forcibly broke the contract.
It was precisely because of this that he signed a contract with Pulse of the Earth. Now that the contract was signed, the two parties should have no relationship, but Pulse of the Earth planned to visit often, which made Zhou Tong a little confused.
"I came here to tell you something interesting. It is the content of the contract that the demons signed with me. Now there is no need to keep it secret. Just listen to it."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong was stunned again.
This is naked favoritism. You should know that the earth gives birth to all things, whether they are humans, gods, monsters or demons, there is no difference in his eyes and they should be treated equally.
"Now that you mention it, I'm really interested."
Zhou Tong said with a smile that he also wanted to know the content of the contract.
"The content is actually very simple, but it is not very friendly to you humans."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong immediately restrained his smile.
Then the Veins of the Earth slowly spoke: "The demons made a bet with me, saying that they would destroy thirty-six small tribes in the human race's territory before the Hundred Sects Conference, and control a top force in each of the southeast, northwest and central continents!"
“This might be a little difficult for them, right?”
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, after all, the blockade of the Heavenly Dao has not been lifted yet, and the obstacles involved in attacking the human territory from the demon territory are unimaginable.
Not to mention the four states in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, the top forces in Zhongzhou are not to be trifled with. They must at least reach the level of a holy land, with ten saints in charge. This is something that the current demons cannot get involved in.
As for the thirty-six small tribes, Zhou Tong didn't even know where some of them were. How could the demons find them?
As if seeing through his thoughts, Pulse of the Earth smiled and handed Zhou Tong a list.
Just a glance and Zhou Tong's face turned much uglier.
It turned out that the top forces in the five continents of southeast, northwest, northeast and central China were controlled by the demons.
The one in the east is the Taiqing Sect, the one in Zhongzhou is the Holy Land of Heavenly Fire, and the one in the west... turns out to be the Great Leiyin Temple!!
As for the small tribes, there are a total of sixty or seventy small tribes on the list, thirty-five of which are marked with red crosses, and one Tianju tribe is cut in half, which means it is in imminent danger!
When he saw this, even Zhou Tong felt a chill run down his spine.
I never expected that this demon was only one step away from fulfilling the bet.
If he had not forcibly broken the contract and happened to save Zhong Ningxue, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"What is the bargaining chip between you two?"
Zhou Tong pressed the list in his hand and asked calmly.
