The two men, whose spiritual power was almost exhausted, found a place to hide after slaughtering a level nine demon city and began to count the spoils.

The first thing to be counted was Gao Han’s mission target.

"This time, we killed more than 700 general-level demons. Together with the original ones, there are nearly 800, and we still need 200. There are only two commander-level demons, so we still need eight."

Gao Han counted with a frown on his face.

"Warlord-level monsters are easy to deal with. We can find two hundred of them in the wild after a few days. Commander-level monsters are hard to find unless we go deeper into the wilderness."

"It's hard to find them," Zhongli Tingzhou stroked his chin, "most of the commander-level demons have subordinates and won't go out alone, but it's not too difficult. We don't need to attack the city again this time, but we can lure out the commander-level demons from other level nine demon cities."

"I thought so too." Gao Han was no longer planning to take any more risks. "We'll talk about this on the way. What resources have you found in Xiaori City?"

"You are so poor. You are the city lord, but you are so poor that you only have a few spirit stones." Zhongli Tingzhou threw the storage bag of the Xiaori City lord to him.

Gao Han opened it and counted. There were forty top-grade spirit stones. It was not like Zhongli Tingzhou said there were only a few. This guy always liked to exaggerate. The middle-grade and low-grade spirit stones combined were more than one thousand.

However, as the lord of a city, this amount of spirit stones is indeed not much.

Then he took out the spirit stones of other monsters. In the end, there were more than 1,600 medium-grade spirit stones and more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones. The other monsters had no high-grade spirit stones.

"Although it's a bit small, it's a lot of gains." Gao Han was still quite satisfied, and he roughly knew why the lord of a city and the demons under his command had only so few spirit stones in total.

The demons come to the demon battlefield to look for resources. Most of the resources they find will be used up immediately. It is not easy to save so many spirit stones.

Gao Han left a portion of the spirit stones to pay off his debt, and the rest were absorbed by Zhongli Tingzhou to repair the Yin-Yang Pearl.

"I'll feed you the Yin-Yang Beads with all the weapons of the demons." Gao Han looked down on the weapons of these demons.

"This knife is the weapon of the Lord of Xiaori City. You should keep it for now. In case the knife you have breaks, you will have a spare one." Zhongli Tingzhou took out the knife alone.

"Okay." Gao Han put away the knife.

Zhongli Tingzhou lost more and more weapons that he had handled.

These weapons all have one characteristic: their originally smooth surfaces have begun to rust, like a dull knife that cannot kill the enemy.

Because feeding the Yin-Yang Pearls does not mean feeding literally, but absorbing the spiritual light in the weapon. The weapon that loses the spiritual light will turn back into ordinary waste, and no one will pick it up even if it is thrown on the ground.

Gao Han buried the weapons whose spiritual light had been absorbed on the spot, and took out other resources he had collected in the city.

The elixirs they didn't need were fed to the Yin-Yang Beads, as well as some spiritual medicines and herbs.

The mayor of Xiaori City probably discovered a treasure land in the past. That treasure land contained many magical medicines and herbs, more than the pills he had on him. They were all stored in his warehouse. After being discovered by Zhongli Tingzhou, they were all moved away.

More than half an hour later.

"How is it?" Gao Han asked as he looked at his gradually red face.

Zhongli Tingzhou looked inward and said, "With so many resources, it still can't be fully fed. It can only be repaired a little bit."

Gao Han felt a little relieved. "It's good to have a little bit. Take your time. It's impossible to obtain such a heaven-defying treasure in one go."

"Let's go." Zhongli Tingzhou stood up. "Since there is still nearly half an hour before the Breath-Resisting Pill loses its effect, let's launch another sneak attack."

Their target this time was the team that Zhongli Tingzhou had followed before.

According to the information he saw, this time there were two commander-level demons, and nearly two hundred general-level demons.

This kind of military force is no match for Xiaori City, but Gao Han is not so arrogant as to think that he is 100% sure of defeating the commander-level demons. He is only at the middle stage of foundation building, and he is clearly aware of this.

The two of them hurried on their way as fast as they could, taking a few pills on the way.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at the place where Zhongli Tingzhou had followed them before.

In front of a valley, there are dense forests all around.

The valley is not very big. There are more than a dozen warrior-level demons guarding the entrance in front.

"How could a human monk come to this small valley?"

"What's even more strange is that the commander-level demons from two different cities would actually join forces. If they really find human cultivators here, a level nine demon city can produce two commander-level demons."

Gao Han squatted behind a stone in the grass, and the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

"No gain, no early rise." Zhongli Tingzhou said.

Gao Han was surprised and said, "In other words, this action was most likely done by the two commander-level demons in private?"

Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, "It's very likely."

Resources are very important to demons. Without resources, they cannot practice and their strength cannot be improved.

"Judging from the area of ​​the small valley, the benefits should not be that great. Is it enough for two level nine demon cities to share? Probably not. If it is not enough, why do the two cities need to work together? If something really happened that required the two cities to work together, there would not be only two commander-level demons coming."

Zhongli Tingzhou added, "Of course, this is based on assumptions. There may be other reasons."

"I think your guess is very likely. Two commanding demons discovered the secret of this small valley at the same time, and found that there were humans involved. So they decided to join forces to get rid of the humans inside first, and then decide how to divide the spoils." Gao Han stared at the demon at the entrance of the valley and began to think.

"Time is running out, let's take action first. Leave the monster at the entrance of the valley to me." Zhongli Tingzhou made a prompt decision.

"good."

Gao Han is no longer in a hurry now. If he were in a hurry, it would be because he was anxious about how to gather eight demons to command them. If two of them were among them, there would still be six missing. However, there are still about ten days left, so it should still be in time.

As soon as Zhongli Tingzhou made a move, the demons at the entrance of the valley were killed before they even had time to react.

In order to avoid being seen by nearby demons, Gao Han disposed of the corpse and the two of them entered the small valley.

The valley was indeed not big, and there were no monsters guarding the entrance. Perhaps out of confidence or something else, the two men soon heard the sound of fighting. They sneaked into the nearby woods and saw two groups of people fighting.

"The situation on the human side doesn't seem to be very good." Gao Han raised his eyebrows and said.

Zhongli Tingzhou also said, "The only golden elixir is injured."

"Only dozens of general-level demons died on the demon side, and the two commander-level ones are still fine." Gao Han could not deny that he was relieved to know that the two commander-level demons were not dead.

During the days they entered the demon battlefield, they hardly saw many commander-level demons outside. If one was missing here, he would have to find a way to get out.

Of course, it could also be that they haven't gone deep enough.

"Should we take action?" he asked.

"No hurry." Zhongli Tingzhou said, "Let's see what the situation is first. We still don't know what good things they found in the valley."

"I think I may know why." Gao Han suddenly stared at the cluster of flowers behind the human monk.

Zhongli Tingzhou followed his gaze and found that he did not recognize those flowers. "What are they?"

Gao Han explained: "It is the wood heavy flower, a kind of alchemy material suitable for the Jindan stage. However, the most valuable thing about the wood heavy flower is not the flower itself."

"What is that?"

"The nectar of the woody plant is secreted only on full-moon nights, but it also has something to do with the terrain. If the terrain is not good, the moon cannot shine on the woody plant on full-moon nights, and it cannot be secreted. Therefore, the nectar of the woody plant is extremely rare, and its growth has very high requirements for the environment."

Gao Han looked up at the sky in the valley, and a burning look appeared in his eyes.

"The terrain of this valley is just right. On a full-moon night, it should be able to illuminate a large area of ​​woody flowers, so nectar must be secreted. That's why these demons are so anxious. If their superiors were more careful, they would know that their outing this time was a little unusual. Unfortunately, there is no if."

"What are the benefits of the nectar of the wood heavy flower?"

"The benefits are huge. The honey of the wood heavy flower can be used to make pills, and can also be taken directly. This is for the Jindan stage. If the Jindan stage is facing a breakthrough, taking the honey of the wood heavy flower can increase the chance of a breakthrough."

"Can it be used during the Foundation Establishment Period?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked again.

"Of course, it's just a bit of a waste." Gao Han was thinking that when Zhongli Tingzhou made another breakthrough, he could take the honey. Of course, he could do that now.

"They are still fighting. These human monks must have found this valley by accident. They didn't expect the demons to find it before them and send people to guard it. They were caught red-handed."

Zhongli Tingzhou rolled his eyes and said, "These cultivators are not disciples of Zixiao Sect. Why don't we wait until they are killed by the demons before we take action?"

Gao Han frowned and thought, demons are the common enemy of mankind, if they really did this, unless they could make sure no one knew about it, the risk would be very high. Now all the major sects are allies, and if they watch someone in danger and do not help, it would be easy to be criticized if the news spread, not to mention that they are disciples of a big sect.

"Forget it. Who knows if they have any special means of communication? Let's wait until they are no longer able to fight and are on the verge of death, then we can take action."

The tree was in a very conspicuous place, otherwise Gao Han would have wanted to touch it and take a look.

"In fact, there is another way that can make the human monks willingly give the Mu Chonghua to us." Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly curled his lips and smiled.

Gao Han was slightly stunned and asked hurriedly, "What method?"

Zhongli Tingzhou said, "Do you think it is still useful to keep these wood-heavy flowers if you are dead?"

"Of course not... I understand." Gao Han's eyes changed, and he instantly understood what Zhongli Tingzhou meant.

Zhongli Tingzhou smiled broadly, "But we have to wait for now."

Gao Han also looked at the group of human monks. Yes, we have to wait until they become more desperate.

How desperate can one be? When he finds there is no hope of survival, no matter how many treasures are placed in front of him, he will not even look at them.

It's like a person walking in the desert and about to die of thirst. Instead of giving him a pile of gold coins, you might as well give him a bottle of water. He will be more grateful to you.

The Jindan cultivator was fighting against two commander-level demons alone, one of which was even stronger than him. He had no chance of winning and was just holding on.

When Gao Han saw this scene, he actually didn't feel much sympathy.

The two newcomers knew how dangerous the demon battlefield was. This should not be the first time for these people to come here. They found so many wood flowers in the valley but did not even think about whether the demons might have discovered them. What was even more stupid was that they did not send anyone to guard outside. A group of people ran in directly and were finally blocked in the valley.

He didn't know what this Jindan cultivator was thinking. Perhaps he lost his mind for a moment after seeing so many muzhong flowers and nectar.
