Chapter 723 The Heroine Is Not Human (Seventeen)
As noble as Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is, how could she have ever been caught like a prey?
Not to mention that he was thrown into the cage with a disgusted attitude.
humiliation!
What an absolute humiliation!
but--
Gu Qingcheng curled up in a special demon-locking cage with restrictions on it. She was so small, her orange fur covered in dirt and blood.
The whole cat looked both miserable and pitiful.
Its demonic power was weak and it was dying. Compared with the giant blue wolf with blood-red eyes next to it, it had no value at all to be sold.
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a bonus."
This unshaven-bearded human monk, who looked like a down-and-out wandering cultivator, muttered that the little cat demon was worthless, but he had already caught it and couldn't give up.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Additional head? If she hadn't been seriously injured, if it hadn't been suppressed by the heavens, if it hadn't been for the weirdness of this demon cage...I would have made you pay! Gu Qingcheng was filled with resentment, but she was clearly aware of her situation.
She did not struggle, nor did she try to break out of the cage.
On the contrary, the giant blue wolf with blood-red eyes on the side probably couldn't stand this humiliation, or didn't want to become a pet of a human cultivator, or even a material for refining weapons, so it resisted violently.
Bang, bang, bang! The giant wolf banged against the specially made cage with all its might.
The cage is all black and doesn't look big, but it can hold a giant wolf.
Of course, the monster will be instantly shrunk the moment it is put into the monster cage.
The demon-locking cage itself was only about one foot square, and the giant wolf was instantly reduced to a fist-sized cub.
As for the already tiny Gu Qingcheng, she was even more unbearable to look at.
Runes were drawn on the cage, and whenever the giant wolf hit it, the runes would flash.
Then--
“Ouch!”
“Ahhhh!”
The giant wolf seemed to have been electrocuted. Its fur, which had already been burnt black by Gu Qingcheng's explosive talisman, was burned even more.
Gu Qingcheng swore that it was definitely not an illusion. Ahem, she smelled the scent of barbecue.
Smells so good!
Oh no, it's so miserable!
She said that there was something strange about this demon cage.
No monster below level seven can break free.
When it exceeds level seven, the Heavenly Dao of this continent will directly exert pressure and control!
Tsk, what a perfect setting. If there wasn't a giant wolf roasting next to him, Gu Qingcheng would have been suspicious: What the hell, is the Heavenly Dao targeting me on purpose? Obviously, no!
Besides her, there are other great monsters in this world.
It also attracted some human monks who specialized in hunting monsters! "Don't try to struggle, you monster!"
"My demon-locking cage is a magical tool made by the Xuan-level weapon refiner of the Beast Taming Sect specifically for locking demons."
"…Three years ago, a wave of beasts appeared in this far northern wasteland. Many monsters that usually hide in the wasteland came out."
"Even the Beast Taming Sect was alarmed and sent out many seniors with profound cultivation. Not only did they personally hunt and kill the monsters, they also refined many magical instruments to restrain the monsters!"
"Giant Wolf, you are lucky to have met me. I am a casual cultivator who only seeks wealth and does not want to kill."
“Tsk, if it were the elite disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, they would simply not care about your ugly burnt black appearance and would directly kill you and dig out your demon pill!”
The sloppy cultivator carrying a cage walked towards the city while muttering to himself casually.
It was hard to say whether the blood-eyed blue giant wolf heard what he said, but Gu Qingcheng heard it clearly and distinctly -
Well, today’s situation is still the consequence of the beast tide three years ago.
Because of the beast tide, famous sects began to intervene.
Among the many famous families, there are some that specialize in taming beasts. They deal with monsters and beasts all year round, and naturally they have refined magical weapons specifically for taming monsters and beasts.
Gu Qingcheng and the giant wolf were lucky. The casual cultivator captured them just to sell them for money, not for their demon pills, fur, bones, blood or other cultivation materials.
Ahem, okay, Gu Qingcheng admitted that even if this casual cultivator intended to hunt her, she was not qualified considering her current appearance as a level 2 demon beast and she hadn’t even cultivated a demon pill! Gu Qingcheng: …
Alas, every sip and every bite is fate! Three years ago, she accidentally caused a beast tide; three years later, she was captured by the monks attracted by the beast tide and became a beast in a cage!
"So, don't do bad things. Even if it's unintentional, you will suffer the consequences!"
Gu Qingcheng rolled herself into a ball and sighed secretly while practicing martial arts to heal herself.
Huoshui was locked in a small dark room, staring at this scene in amazement: ...Your Majesty, are you just going to accept it like this? You don't even struggle?
Gu Qingcheng: ...retarded! She would "accept her fate" for reasons other than being injured, suppressed, etc., but there is another biggest reason -
She suddenly remembered what the white shadow had said: "If you want to enter the world, you have to experience the joys and sorrows, happiness and anger, and then you can achieve the great way!"
It is very simple to enter the world. Just walk out of the ancient battlefield and find a place where monks gather.
However, "going through joys and sorrows, happiness and anger", seems to reveal a sense of "fate".
If you want to experience it, you need an opportunity.
"My training began when I was captured and sold as a monster."
Gu Qingcheng had a premonition that the gears of her destiny began to turn.
…
After traveling for nearly a night, the bearded cultivator finally arrived at the city on the east side of the wasteland in the early morning.
"Blood Demon City"! Gu Qingcheng huddled in the cage. After a night of training, her injuries had almost healed.
But the appearance is still very miserable.
Realizing that the bearded man had stopped, Gu Qingcheng subconsciously raised his head.
Then she saw the three seal characters engraved on the city gate.
"Blood Demon City? Why would a city where human monks gather be named 'Blood Demon'?"
"Wait, I remember there was a dense forest on the west side of the wasteland. From a distance, I saw blood rising into the sky. Could there be any connection between the two?"
Gu Qingcheng was lost in thought.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was just a tiny furry ball, inconspicuous to begin with, and it was locked in a specially made demon-locking cage.
Unless one uses spiritual sense to investigate, passers-by would not notice, let alone discover, that such a small cat is thinking in a very human way.
"Three low-grade spirit stones! The Lord of this Blood Demon City is really greedy for money!"
"Fellow Daoist, is this your first time here? Don't you know that the Blood Demon City Lord's ancestors have the blood of the Pixiu?"
Although tens of thousands of years have passed and the bloodline inheritance is almost gone, the greedy temperament has been perfectly inherited by the city lord.
At the city gate, a group of monks were paying the entrance fee while whispering to each other.
Gu Qingcheng pricked up her two little ears, listened carefully, and collected useful information.
Through the discussions of these monks, Gu Qingcheng obtained the following information:
First, the Lord of Blood Demon City is not a human! Well, this is not an insult, but a statement of fact.
The city lord is a great demon at the peak of level seven, who has lived for more than two thousand years. After transforming, he had some connection with the Immortal Sect, and thus obtained the position of the city lord of Blood Demon City.
Second, the Lord of Blood Demon City is extremely greedy and is a money-obsessed person.
For the sake of money, it even took the initiative to open a market in its own city specifically for "trading" monsters.
Well, as a fellow monster, the Lord of Blood Demon City has no "fraternal love" at all, and will not "protect his shortcomings".
As long as there is money to be made, let alone trafficking and hunting monsters in the wilderness, he would probably even sell his own cubs as long as the price is right!
Third, although the beast tide three years ago almost destroyed the Blood Demon City, it also brought greater "business opportunities" to the Blood Demon City.
The Blood Demon City was originally located in the far north, quite far away from the center of the continent.
No immortal sect is willing to get involved, and most of the cultivators are independent cultivators below the Jindan stage, or new disciples of the immortal sect who need experience.
The overall cultivation level of the cultivators who appeared in Blood Demon City was not high.
The resources for cultivation are also relatively scarce. Apart from the monsters in the Far North Wasteland and the Blood Mist Demon Forest on the west side of the wasteland, there are no other resources.
Spiritual herbs? Refining materials? None of them!
The value of the Far North Wasteland and the Blood Mist Monster Forest is not just the monster pills, furs, blood and bones of monsters, but also the practical combat capabilities of the rookies who are trained by hunting monsters! Gu Qingcheng: ...What's wrong with monsters? The lives of monsters are also lives!
The beast tide three years ago directly spread the reputation of the Far North Wasteland.
Because of this "monster riot", many monsters that usually hide deep in the wilderness have emerged.
It attracted the real immortal gate and the beast-controlling gate! Many elite disciples of the immortal gate also gathered here. Even if the beast tide passed, there were still cultivators staying.
In addition, some monks who heard the news came from all directions.
The Blood Demon City is bustling with activity, and the city lord is making a fortune!
Not to mention anything else, the city lord made a lot of money just from the entrance fee of three low-grade spirit stones per person.
This is a long-term business that happens every day!
“…A dead Pixiu that only goes in but never out!”
The bearded man lovingly took out three spirit stones from the worn storage bag. When he stretched out his hand, he was shaking with heartache.
"Alas, I just hope that this giant wolf can be sold at a good price. Otherwise, I will suffer a great loss on this trip!"
The bearded man muttered to himself. He placed all his hopes on the giant blue wolf and did not take the little cat demon seriously at all.
Gu Qingcheng:...Since you look down on me so much, why don't you just despise me and let me go? That would be great! Raising his little paw, Gu Qingcheng scratched his little head and fluttered his little ears twice.
She has "accepted her fate" and accepted the "fact" that she is just a humble little monster.
Huoshui: ...Haha, Your Majesty, you are really adaptable! Perhaps it was the three spirit stones entrance fee that made the bearded man feel really painful. After entering the city, he didn't delay for a moment and went straight to the largest market in Blood Demon City.
As soon as she entered the market, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but wrinkled her nose.
Hmm, this smell is very stimulating.
There is a smell of blood, a smell of feces, and a wisp of resentment and bloodiness.
Gu Qingcheng quietly released his spiritual sense, covering the entire market town.
Then--
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but frown: This place might be just a market for human cultivators, but it is purgatory for the captured monsters...
