"Can you still hold on?" Li Jinchu asked Ji Mofan.
He has a lot of pills for instant recovery during battle, and he can help if Ji Mofan asks.
But Ji Mofan shook his head without hesitation.
Li Jinchu did not pursue the matter further.
Whether it's really nothing to worry about or just an attempt to show off in front of others, people must take responsibility for the choices they make.
The big guy finally emerged from the dense forest.
His body was covered in scales, and sticky clods of dirt mixed with bloody grime that had accumulated over countless years made him look both terrifying and disgusting.
Jimo Fan did not recognize this kind of monster.
He could vaguely see several similarities to the varieties he was familiar with, but he could not identify the specific species.
Compared to the cultivation world, even within the same species, the appearance of demonic beasts in the demon realm varies considerably.
The problem is that if the species cannot be accurately identified, its weaknesses cannot be effectively found during an attack.
It would be ridiculous if you put all your strength into hitting the toughest part of the opponent's armor. In that case, the sword would be dulled, and the opponent would only have a small mark on the armor.
"It looks like an aquatic monster..." Li Jinchu muttered.
Although its location is strange, this thing looks like it has six legs and two pincers, one large and one small, in front of it. Its features are somewhat similar to those of a crab, and it also has webbed feet on its legs to help it swim.
Its body was covered in mud that was neither dry nor wet, making it look like it had just crawled out of a shallow puddle.
The strange thing is that it's just too big.
They were in a dense forest in the mountains, far away from any major rivers, lakes, or seas, and even streams. How could such a huge aquatic creature possibly survive there?
"It is the Rikuo Renka crab."
Xihe's voice suddenly came from the side.
He seemed to know that he was very weak and vulnerable, so he very consciously found a super big tree and crawled into a tree hole. At this moment, only half of his head was sticking out.
"His weakness isn't in his abdomen; we can only attack his joints."
Is this person's statement credible?
This question popped into Li Jinchu's mind subconsciously.
After all, they were the ones who kidnapped the Demon Lord.
If the monsters that happen to appear here can kill them, then the spell on the Demon-Binding Rope will automatically dissipate upon the death of the caster, allowing him to smoothly escape the control of others and return to his own life as the Demon Lord.
But barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will have no choice but to be taken to the cultivation world as a mascot along with Ji Mofan.
The superiority or inferiority is obvious. If it were him, Li Jinchu, he would almost certainly make a choice.
But Ji Mofan, standing next to him, clearly didn't think so.
In the few breaths that Li Jinchu was still hesitating, the Embracing Snow Sword had already sliced through the air in front of him, its sharp sword light reaching the demon beast.
Ren Ge Crab let out an enraged roar.
The hissing sound was so loud it hurt one's eardrums. Li Jinchu had to use some spiritual power to protect her ears so as not to cause them to bleed.
No wonder the demon lord scurried into the tree hole to hide; it seems he did so to avoid the beast's vocal attacks.
This at least proves that he really understands this stuff.
Seeing that Ji Mofan had already slashed out twice, and one of Ren Ge Crab's hind legs was about to fall, Li Jinchu did not delay any longer and slashed at it with his sword.
Although he was used to reaping the benefits and waiting for the enemy to tire himself out, he would never do something like having a wounded soldier stand in front of him in a critical moment.
As it turns out, the information provided by the Demon Lord was absolutely correct.
The Ren Ge Crab's abdomen was exceptionally sturdy, and it was difficult to pierce it with a sword. Therefore, the only option was to attack its joints, turning the monster with a bunch of joints into a large steamed bun that could only lie on the ground and could not move.
In the end, Li Jinchu used a pile of yellow mud to cover the mouth of the Ren Ge crab, which was constantly making annoying noises.
The whole world fell silent.
After hiding in the tree hole for half a day, Xihe finally crawled out slowly as the noise outside gradually subsided.
"Oh! This Renge crab is even bigger than I imagined." He strolled over to the monster, which was more than a person tall, and kicked its hard shell twice, causing some of the half-dry clods of earth to fall off.
"Should we braise it or stew it in oil?"
She asked casually, but when Xihe turned around, she saw that Ji Mofan's figure suddenly swayed and he stuck his sword in the ground to avoid falling down.
Li Jinchu was right beside him and immediately reached out her hand to him, "Can't hold on anymore?"
This guy is such a show-off. Just now, he looked like he was at his last gasp but could still fight the monster for three hundred rounds.
Suddenly, it fast-forwards to the point where I'm completely drained, unable to sustain my spiritual energy or physical strength, and can't even stand up straight.
This time, Ji Mofan did not refuse the pills that Li Jinchu offered.
After swallowing a few Rejuvenation Pills, the pills melted in the mouth and flowed through the parched meridians. The spiritual energy was like sweet rain, nourishing the dry land and restoring its vitality.
"Does this count as me repaying a favor to you?" Li Jinchu asked him.
Ji Mo Fan thought to himself that this person really didn't suffer any loss at all.
"A bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills can be bought for a hundred spirit stones. Which favor are you trying to repay?" Ji Mofan shook the empty porcelain bottle, the Li character engraved on it gleaming.
"Did I help you easily find the missing Li Geyue? Or did I help you and those other members of the Li family escape unscathed from the Demon Palace?"
Li Jinchu shrugged. "Then consider it a free gift from me."
None of them can repay the debt. Leaving aside Li Geyue, let's just talk about helping them leave the Demon Palace.
If Ji Mofan hadn't shown them the way, they would probably all be covered in Qianxun Incense and being chased around by the demon hounds.
"So what exactly was the Spirit Dispersing Pill you took that day?" Remembering this most important question, he turned back to ask Ji Mofan.
The latter tossed the porcelain bottle back, saying, "Who knows? Maybe the Demon Lord bought counterfeit or expired food."
Xihe, who was preparing to feast on a monster: ...
These two people not only ignored what he said, but why did they take the opportunity to blame him when a problem arose?
He's a Demon Lord now, it's too disrespectful to be treated like this!
Xihe, concerned with saving face, lowered his head and used a branch to dig out a fire pit.
He stuffed a bunch of branches and fallen leaves inside before realizing that he had no demonic energy left and couldn't even start a fire.
Between trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together and speaking up, he chose to stare longingly at Ji Mofan.
