Xiang Sheng observed for a moment, and gradually began to understand what he had learned before.
But there is a difference between formations and restrictions after all. In order to avoid destroying the teleportation formation, she didn't dare to try it rashly.
After thinking for a while, she turned back to the locust tree on the edge of the valley.
The locust tree demon had long been frightened by the massacre by Wu Feng and his three companions. When he saw Xiang Sheng coming, he immediately begged for mercy:
"Please spare my life, Immortal! I was momentarily possessed by a demon and will never dare to do it again!"
Xiang Sheng recalled his flying sword and said indifferently, "I spared your life, not to listen to your nonsense."
The branches of the locust tree demon trembled when he heard it, "Little demon understands!"
Next, the locust tree demon did not dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
"Since I regained consciousness, I've been in this valley. This place is desolate and deserted, with little spiritual energy, so few living creatures come here.
But everything has changed since an earthquake a hundred years ago."
Recalling that day, Shugen's old face showed a bit of fear.
“The altar appeared after the earthquake.
The little demon thought it was some kind of opportunity, so he went to investigate, but he saw a flash of light on the altar, and the giant snake demon appeared out of thin air.
The little demon was no match for the snake demon and had to surrender. The snake demon then rewarded the little demon with a spirit crystal.
After the little demon took it, it actually activated its natural talent for illusion. The snake demon seemed to have anticipated this, and the little demon was forced to maintain the illusion and hunt the monks who passed by to provide it with blood food.
Those below the Jindan stage are directly fed to the snake demon offspring in the valley.
Those above the Jindan stage were sealed with amber jade and left for the snake demon to enjoy personally.
Over the past hundred years, we have never failed, until we met you."
At this point, the locust tree demon looked apprehensive, "This is all I know, little demon."
The locust tree demon's words revealed a lot of information.
Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment and then slowly asked, "Do you still have the spirit crystal that the snake demon gave you?"
The locust tree demon quickly shook its branches and shook its head, "It's gone. The snake demon seemed to be quite precious about the spirit crystals. The little demon only had one the size of a fingernail to refine.
Xiao Yao still remembers that the spirit crystal was multicolored, crystal clear, and very beautiful.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng reached out and took out a light red crystal from the cloth bag and looked at it carefully.
These crystals, like the ones given to her by Palace Master Xuan, all had a strange and inexplicable smell.
Could the colorful crystal in the locust tree monster's mouth be the source of the smell?
Thinking of this, her eyes flashed, and she asked again: "How often does the snake demon come to eat every day?"
"Forty-nine days!"
The locust tree demon quickly replied, "After the snake demon finishes eating, it disappears from the altar and never stays for long."
So there is a cycle?
Xiang Sheng's eyes fixed instantly, and he immediately stood up and rushed into the valley.
The locust tree demon hurriedly moved its roots to catch up, lamenting:
"My lord, when I was in the stage of awakening my mind, I was targeted by that snake demon and was forced to commit many murderous sins.
"Sir, you are wise and righteous. Please spare my life, considering that I did not do this out of my heart!"
Xiang Sheng stopped in front of the altar, turned around and looked at the chasing locust tree demon, with a smile on his face.
"In just a hundred years, you've cultivated from the enlightenment stage to the late transformation stage. You have quite a talent. It would be a shame if I really killed you."
Upon hearing this, the branches of the locust tree demon trembled violently. "My Lord, I am wise. The reason why I'm cultivating so fast is because of the five-colored crystal stone, not because of devouring the cultivator!"
Seeing the locust tree demon's terrible reaction, Xiang Sheng stopped trying to scare it and said calmly, "I can forgive your past actions, but there's one condition."
She pointed at the altar and said, "In the past hundred years, you must have seen snake demons teleporting away from here many times.
Describe the changes in the patterns on the altar before and after the teleportation, without any error!"
The locust tree demon's eyes lit up, "Little demon obeys your command!"
Over the next few days, under Xiang Sheng's surveillance, the locust tree demon racked his brains to carve patterns on the blank jade slip.
Xiang Sheng stood aside, watching the locust tree demon holding the jade slip and struggling to death, thoughts racing in his eyes.
This locust tree monster is the only monster in this valley that can speak human language.
The others, whether it was the tens of thousands of human-faced snake demons or the giant snake, were all just strange monsters with only magical powers.
The locust tree demon was the crystal stone refined during the enlightenment period. After that, it could no longer transform normally and only retained the ability to speak.
In this case, the giant snake in the Condensation Stage that was teleported from this altar was also affected by the colored crystal from the moment it was born?
Could there be another snake cave opposite this teleportation array?
What kind of power could have allowed the existence to breed a giant snake? Or perhaps, the giant snake was the source...
Time passed slowly while I was thinking.
Nine days later, the locust tree demon finally straightened its main branch, and a hint of joy appeared in its words.
"My Lord, the little demon has finished carving."
