Chapter 47: What a great protein, a great tonic! I’ll send you on your way…
In the dim dungeon, the rustling sounds began to resonate, the chirping of insects and the grinding of limbs. The stench intensified, the ground thick with yellow-green slime from trampling, giving the scent a slightly sticky and moist quality. The lack of ventilation made it even more oppressive and foul.
Chi Yu's eyes turned red from the smoke, and tears filled her eyes naturally, so she kept wiping her tears with Xie Xiyi's sleeve.
Xie Xiyi couldn't bear it any longer, so he moved his arm slightly and pulled back his sleeve.
Chi Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears smoothly. After wiping, she drew out the sword in her hand.
He walked over, but before he got close, a black poisonous insect approached silently and landed on Chi Yu. Just as it was about to pierce through his skin, Chi Yu quickly picked it up with a sword and stabbed it to death with the tip of the sword.
"Hey." Chi Yu called out to the demon in the cage, but received no response.
Chi Yu felt strange because the material of the cage was not special, just ordinary iron.
How could such ordinary iron trap a Jindan-stage demon? How is that possible?
Chi Yu tried to cut through the cage, but the monk's spirit sword was invincible against such mortal iron, and he easily severed it. The iron bar fell to the ground with a dull thud, startling the massive spider's legs and causing them to tremble.
Chi Yu called out again, "Hello?"
The spider demon still ignored him. Chi Yu hesitated and raised his sword, poking the spider's huge butt. It didn't matter, it actually went in with a "puff". A large number of tiny spiders and reptiles crawled along the sword. Chi Yu was so frightened that he almost dropped the sword - it was a close call that it could be injected with spiritual energy. The sword body instantly created a wave of air, blowing all the insects away.
Chi Yu drew out his sword, feeling even more strange. As a Jindan-stage demon, the opponent's attack method was too weak.
Chi Yu cut the iron bars of the cage one by one, walked into the cage, walked around the huge spider's belly, and saw the front. At just one glance, he couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong?" Xie Xiyi's unhurried voice came from the cave entrance.
Chi Yu suppressed the urge to retch, covered his nose, and raised his voice, saying, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, this is the corpse of a demon. It's been dead for a long time."
The giant spider looked normal from the back, but when you went around it, you could see that the front of the monster had been eaten away.
Why do we say it was eaten hollow? Because there are still traces of gnawing, the spine and ribs are clearly visible, and the end of the spine is connected to the metallic shell.
The demons in the Golden Core Realm have already achieved the state where their bodies remain incorruptible and can only be turned into bones, which can only be eaten.
Chi Yu had always known that demons not only ate humans but also their own kind, and there was no taboo against this. However, he had never expected that a demon in the Golden Core Realm could end up like this.
Puzzled, he returned to Xie Xiyi and shared his own conclusion, "Brother Xuanji, you've come here for nothing. There aren't any demons here. They probably saw the fallen body of this demon and picked it up to use as a nest for poisonous insects."
Xie Xiyi looked at him and asked, "Is this your judgment?"
Seeing his tone change, Chi Yu hesitated and said, "Wait, let me think about it."
He returned to the spider's body, poked the body with his sword, and quickly turned it over. The spider's huge waist and abdomen appeared in front of him. From this angle, he could clearly see a clear hole. From the traces, it looked like it started gnawing from the abdomen and then ate the human body.
Chi Yu paused and noticed something strange: the mud under the spider was very soft and moist.
Even if a demon dies, its demonic energy will remain and is not easy to dissipate, but the demonic energy in the mud under the spider is slightly different.
Chi Yu used his spiritual sense and power to feel it carefully, and finally felt where the difference was.
The demonic energy of the spider demon is more turbid and stronger, but the demonic energy remaining in the soil under the spider is weaker and clearer.
Chi Yu suddenly understood. He stood up, walked to the prince, and told him his judgment, "Senior Brother Xuanji, there should be two demons."
He paused, "I think they must be blood relatives. This spider demon has children."
Although the evil energy of the soil is weaker, it is of the same origin as the spider demon's evil energy and should be a blood relative.
Xie Xiyi said, "It can't get far, go chase it."
Chi Yu looked at him, but Xie Xiyi remained indifferent.
Chi Yu: "..."
Well, it looks like Senior Brother Xuan Ji won’t accompany him anymore.
Empty Nest Kids (x)
Chi Yu whispered, "Then Senior Brother Xuanji, shall I go?"
Xie Xiyi: "Yeah."
Chi Yu had no choice but to leave the cave, looking back every three steps.
After he left, Xie Xiyi stretched out his hand, and a cluster of dark blue flames emerged from his fingertips. He threw it lightly, and the flames fell on the demon's corpse. With a crash, the dark blue flames instantly enveloped the huge demon's body. A shrill female scream was faintly heard in the air, and a flash of light passed by. The scenery in front of Xie Xiyi changed.
He fell into a fantasy.
In the illusion was a very beautiful female demon. Of course, Xie Xiyi couldn't tell who she was, but he naturally knew that she was a beauty from how popular she was in the tribe.
She was powerful and beautiful, and was pursued by countless male demons of the same race, which made her give birth to one strong offspring after another.
She was cruel and bloodthirsty, and had hunted many monks and demon cultivators. Sometimes, when she felt playful, she would pretend to be a weak mortal woman, seduce mortal men, and then eat them - but most of the time, because mortal men were of no nutritional value, she would just kill them and not eat them.
It was very normal, as vicious and cruel as millions of other demons, nothing special about it.
Until one day, she met a cultivator named Ze Xiu, a very handsome young man with elegant literary talent. He was a descendant of a wealthy family and had a noble birth, so he had pretty good spiritual roots. At the age of 22, he had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and was sent by the court to guard Mulian Town.
The man named Ze Xiu was so smart and clever, and too upright a gentleman, that the demon actually felt a little pity for him, and he played a pure game with him half-seriously and half-falsely.
Of course, if this man named Ze Xiu was easily tempted, the demon would reveal its true form in the next second and kill him.
But Ze Xiu always stayed true to his heart and remained indifferent, which made the demon named Hua Niang very competitive and determined to take him down.
After more than three years of such mediation, Hua Niang was completely moved. Even though this monk was extremely weak and she would turn into a pool of blood in an instant even if she ate him, she still couldn't help but be moved.
In a daze, she concealed her identity, gave away the mother Gu and the child Gu, and handed over the initiative to Ze Xiu.
She originally thought that such sincerity would move Zexiu and make good things happen.
However, Na Zexiu's mind was extremely firm and he remained indifferent. After receiving the mother and child Gu, he put the child Gu on Hua Niang and tied her up in the back mountain of Mulian Town, scaring away all the demons so that they dared not attack.
Hua Niang hated his cruelty, and with a mixture of love and hate, she gave birth to a child with Ze Xiu - demons are a chaotic race. They can give birth to demons and monsters, and naturally they can also give birth to humans, and the child will naturally inherit the bloodline of the stronger one.
Therefore, although this child is not as powerful as his half-brother, he should not be underestimated. He absorbed most of her demonic energy, blood and flesh in his stomach. Hua Niang used this excuse to lure Ze Xiu over and eat him.
Although she successfully gave birth to the child, she didn't expect that Zexiu had already transferred the mother Gu, and Hua Niang still couldn't leave here.
She then planned to take over the body of her young child, but the child was more brutal than she thought. Before she could make a move, it had already eaten most of her and the young Gu in her stomach. So, even if she took over its body, the Gu would still be there.
But if she doesn't take over the body, she will also die.
Such a powerful demon ended up with such a funny ending.
The illusion ended, and the demon, still in its beautiful human form, told Xie Xiyi sadly that he had given his true love to the wrong person.
Xie Xiyi sneered, "You are a demon, how can you have any true feelings? It's just the desire to win that's causing all this trouble."
Anger flashed across the demon's face. "Don't I love him enough? I'm willing to be a vegetarian for him. In these three years, I haven't eaten a single person! Not even a cultivator! I haven't even eaten demons or devil cultivators!"
Xie Xiyi remained indifferent. "Have you said enough? If you have, you can go and die."
He extended his spiritual consciousness and was about to strangle the demon's soul when the demon immediately cried out, "Wait, don't you have pity on me? Aren't you practicing Zen? You should be saving me!"
Xie Xiyi asked with great interest, "How do you want me to convert you?"
The demon's spirit slowly approached, and said pitifully, "You are a Zen practitioner, so you should know how to save me. Although I am a demon, I also yearn for Nirvana. As such, I am a living being, and I deserve to be saved."
When she got one step closer to Xie Xiyi, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and it turned into a ray of light that penetrated Xie Xiyi's body like lightning.
Xie Xiyi couldn't help but laugh and sarcastically said, "Master Zen? Who gave you the courage?"
The demon said, "Although I will endure excruciating pain, once I get through this, I will have a body with excellent talents. Boy, don't resist."
She said this and was about to devour Xie Xiyi's soul, but soon she saw a golden light. In a trance, she suddenly realized what it was. She said in a hoarse voice, "Buddha bone?"
She actually met a Zen practitioner who had already achieved Buddhahood?
Before she could think any more, overwhelming golden divine consciousness came towards her to strangle her. As a demon soul in the Golden Core Realm, it was much stronger than a human cultivator, but in front of the Buddha's bones, it had no strength to resist, and soon, it died.
Xie Xiyi, who devoured the Yuanpo, saw something deeper in the demon's heart - she actually loved the man named Zexiu, and finally ate him because she was obsessed with being with him forever.
That terrifying obsession made Xie Xiyi frown slightly.
After devouring the Yuanpo, one will know all the other person's emotions and memories, which made Xie Xiyi feel a little uncomfortable. The devil's heart was also lured out by this strong paranoid emotion, and was quickly and forcefully suppressed by him.
He glanced at the still burning flames, turned around and walked away expressionlessly.
Not far from the cave, I ran into Chi Yu.
Chi Yu's hair was stained with leaves and grass, and his face was streaked with mud. He was holding something dangling in his hand. When he saw Xie Xiyi, his eyes lit up. He ran over excitedly, raised the thing in his hand, and said to Xie Xiyi, "Senior Brother Xuanji, look, I caught it! It's a big bug, this big!"
Xie Xiyi took a look at the thing in his hand. It was a fat white insect, very white and smooth, with fewer wrinkles. It looked like a silkworm, but shorter than a silkworm.
Xie Xiyi said: "It has the foundation-building stage of cultivation."
Chi Yu: "I know! But it's such a big and white bug!!"
Xie Xiyi: "I can't raise it."
Chi Yu: "???"
How could he possibly raise insects?
He can't raise everything, okay? This one is a demon!
Chi Yu defended himself by saying, "No, how could I possibly raise this! This is such a good source of protein, very nutritious. I can deep-fry it and chop it up for Xiaobai to eat."
Xie Xiyi couldn't help but look at him again. He didn't expect such words to come out of his soft red lips. "This is a demon," he reminded.
Chi Yu: "Yes, there is demonic energy."
Then he said to Xie Xiyi, "Could you please, Senior Brother Xuanji, wash away the evil spirit from it? Eating it like this is indeed not good for Xiaobai's body."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
The white worm froze when it heard Chi Yu say this. The next second, the body that Chi Yu was holding suddenly turned into the white and fat upper body of a baby - the lower body was still the white and fat body of a worm.
Chi Yu was startled and his grip loosened, causing the insect to almost fall to the ground. Xie Xiyi quickly picked it up and said, "It seems that we can only cut it in half." Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his lips and said.
The baby opened his eyes, which were faintly purple, with a look of fear on his face. His lower body swayed a few times, but it didn't turn into legs, so he had no choice but to cry like a normal baby.
Chi Yu's heart softened immediately, and she had to say, "Don't cry, I won't use you to feed Xiaobai anymore."
The baby immediately stopped crying and looked at him innocently.
Chi Yu raised his sword and pointed it at it, "I'll just send you on your way."
baby:"?"
baby:"……"
