Seeing Bazhou's intense reaction, Xiao Feng said helplessly, "I won't let you suffer. Even if you guard the Xuanwu Tree, it won't help you break through your strength."
"Everything I can give you will increase your strength, and I also have things here that your father can use. Are you sure you don't want to take me back to your lion demon clan to make a deal?"
Bazhou hesitated.
Although the Great Elder had told it that humans were not to be trusted.
But it felt that Xiao Feng in front of it was different from other humans.
At least they are different from the humans that the Great Elder Grandfather mentioned.
Perhaps it's worth trying to believe in Xiao Feng.
If Xiao Feng deceives it, then it can let the clan members eat Xiao Feng!
If Xiao Feng could actually produce something even more precious than the Xuanwu Tree, then it would have made a great contribution.
Bazhou is facing some dilemmas and struggles.
Xiao Feng realized that Bazhou was no longer as resistant to his going to the Lion Demon's territory as before, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.
"If you're not willing, then you'll have to wait until I've picked enough herbs and left this place. Only after I'm sure I'm safe can I let you go."
Xiao Feng spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Wait a minute, don't you have any other herbs you need? We can trade them with you for what you mentioned before!" Ba Zhou bargained.
"But all I need is the Profound Enlightenment Tree. You won't just keep guarding one Profound Enlightenment Tree, will you?"
"Besides, you just need to take me back. If your people are unwilling to make this deal with me, then I'll leave. I definitely won't force anyone to do this!"
"I'm going to your lion demon territory, are you really worried I'll go back on my word?"
Bazhou thought about it and felt that Xiao Feng's words made sense, so he simply agreed.
With Bazhou leading the way, Xiao Feng and his companions immediately ventured deep into the territory of the Nine-Headed Lion.
Although Xiao Feng encountered other monsters living in this territory on his way there.
But the monsters were terrified when they saw Bazhou and fled immediately.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Feng curiously asked Ba Zhou, "Why do they run away as soon as they see you? Are they afraid of you?"
Ba Zhou proudly declared, "They are afraid of my father, the king of this territory. If they offend me, I will have my father devour them all!"
Xiao Feng's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more.
After crossing the forest, Xiao Feng and his companions soon arrived at a plain.
When Xiao Feng went into the forest to pick medicinal herbs, he did not let Zhao Yuwei go with him.
So after Bazhou agreed to take Xiao Feng to the Lion Demon's territory, Xiao Feng specifically asked Zhao Yuwei to come along.
Strangely enough, after Bazhou saw Zhao Yuwei, he didn't have a bad temper towards her; on the contrary, he was more willing to talk to her.
Xiao Feng was puzzled, but he did not stop Zhao Yuwei from getting close to Bazhou.
Even the bird demon, who originally wanted to escape, was caught by Xiao Feng and brought back to his side, so that the bird demon could go with them to the lion demon's territory.
On the plains, Xiao Feng saw many beings that were half-human and half-lion.
This is the lion demon's tribe. Not far away, a river flows, making it the most suitable place for the lion demon to live.
Most of the lion demons here can transform into human form.
Xiao Feng saw several people with lion ears and wagging lion tails walking on the grass.
They must not be used to wearing clothes, so they only tied a string of leaves around their waists.
The peaceful and happy atmosphere vanished the moment Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stepped onto the plain.
The two did not conceal their human aura and were immediately detected by all the lion demons.
Most importantly, the one walking ahead of Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei was their young master, the lion demon clan.
All the lion demons ran towards Xiao Feng and his group.
"Young Master, where have you gone again? And why did you bring back two humans?"
The first to run over was a lion demon in human form, who looked at Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei with wary eyes, but did not rashly attack them.
Are the Grand Elder and the others there?
Bazhou clearly felt close to that clansman and immediately rushed into his arms to ask him questions.
"They're all here. The elders are in a meeting right now. We'll bring them here immediately."
The young lion demon glared at Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei, then picked up Bazhou and carried him away from them.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei both possessed formidable auras, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary lion demons like themselves. They could only wait for the elders to arrive.
Bazhou, still clueless, said, "Hey, don't be so nervous. They're not bad people. They have a deal to do with us, that's why I brought them back."
Bazhou's words did not lessen the wariness in the eyes of these lion demons; on the contrary, they made their gazes toward Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei even more ferocious.
Xiao Feng didn't seem to care and just sat quietly on the grass waiting.
Before long, Xiao Feng sensed several even more powerful auras appearing in his perception.
These must be the elders that the young lion demon just mentioned.
Xiao Feng stood up, straightened his robes, and quietly waited for their arrival.
"Young Master!"
An aged voice came, and Bazhou quickly broke free from the young lion demon's embrace and obediently stood on the ground.
In the distance, a group of lions came running, and the scene was truly awe-inspiring.
If the murderous intent in the eyes of these lion demons could be reduced even slightly, it would be perfect.
"So you really are human! You humans have some nerve, daring to trespass on my demon race's territory!"
The lion demon who led the way transformed into an old man and glared angrily at Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
“We don’t know why we ended up here, and we also want to leave. We’re here to make a deal.”
Xiao Feng remained neither humble nor arrogant, and showed no fear of the lion demons who were gathered there.
It was probably Xiao Feng's humble yet assertive attitude that angered the lion demons.
The lion demon in the lead sensed the extremely oppressive power emanating from Xiao Feng and knew that if a fight broke out, the older ones could protect them.
But those young lion demons, and those that have just come of age, may not be a match for Xiao Feng.
Therefore, the older lion demons did not ask Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei why they had come or what kind of transaction they wanted to make, but instead directly asked what had happened in Bazhou.
Upon returning to his clan, Bazhou felt extremely wronged and didn't bother to tell his clansmen everything that had happened.
Upon hearing this, all the lion demons present became even more enraged, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they looked at the two men, wishing they could kill these two damned humans immediately.
"You actually dared to sign a contract with our Lion Demon Clan's young master! You humans truly deserve to die!"
The young lion demon who had charged forward first was enraged and was about to attack Xiao Feng.
