Chapter 6

For a moment, Yu Tu hoped he was dreaming.

But the soft, slightly warm, olive-shaped object in his hand and the pain in his ribs from being hit reminded him that it was all real.

Yu Tu: “…”

It's fatal! !

Why is his entrance test such a dangerous task! The snatcher has bad intentions when he hears it!

His mind was still a little confused, but his actions were decisive. He quickly picked up a pair of sneakers from the shoe rack, held the Emperor's Laxative in one hand and the Spirit Page in the other, and ran towards the teahouse without even having time to change into his pajamas.

He didn't know the identity or race of the robber, but most of the neighbors living around the small building were elderly people. Yu Tu was afraid of failing the entrance test, and was even more afraid that the robber would hurt the neighbors, so his first reaction was to run to a teahouse that was more remote than the small building.

Yu Tu had only run three streets when he felt as if someone was following him.

Sanqing had taught him during the day that there was a barrier between the inner and outer worlds. No matter what race one was, as long as one passed through the barrier from the inner world to the outer world, their spiritual power would be "locked".

In the inner world, one can set a house on fire, but in the surface world, the most one can do is light a flame about the size of a candle. In the inner world, one can control the flow of water, but after passing through the barrier, the most one can do is make the water from the faucet turn a corner... So when humans come to the surface world, they are almost the same as ordinary people.

The most troublesome thing is encountering spirits in the surface world. Spirits are a collective name for fairies and ghosts. Although they cannot use spiritual power, their racial characteristics and talents are still usable in the surface world.

Yu Tu felt that the movement behind him might lead to the worst outcome—not the human race.

When he passed the end of the alley of the fourth street and reached an open space, he felt a gust of wind from behind. Yu Tu's first reaction was to dodge, but the gust of wind was too fast and he was thrown to the ground. His jaw, elbows, knees and other parts of his body hit the ground hard and his skin was soon scratched. A faint smell of blood spread.

A furry claw pressed against his neck, the tip of the claw pressing against his carotid artery.

"Brat, hand over the Emperor's Blood!" A voice behind my ear said viciously, "Otherwise I will kill you!"

The Emperor's Serum is the essence of moonlight. It appears once every sixty years, landing at a random location. Once picked up, the owner will recognize the Emperor's Serum. Only when the owner voluntarily gives up the ownership of the Emperor's Serum will it become ownerless. If it is snatched by force, its effectiveness will be halved.

The Emperor's Plasma, which comes once every sixty years, should arrive on July 15th, but for some reason it arrived nearly a month earlier this time. Black Panther was worried that something might happen so he came out of the inner world in advance to prepare. Unexpectedly, just a few days after he came out, he encountered the Emperor's Plasma that arrived earlier than expected, and the largest mass of it happened to be near where he lived.

This is simply an opportunity given to him by God!

The black panther's pupils shrank, and its tail kept flapping behind it. The whole panther was in a state of extreme excitement. Its sharp claws sank slightly, avoiding the carotid artery, and gently scratched the skin on Yu Tu's neck:

"I'm not very patient, hand over the Emperor's Liquid immediately!"

Having seen so many things that overturned his worldview in one day, Yu Tu should have been afraid, but at this moment, his mind was unusually clear. He felt the blood from the place where he was scratched by the claws flowing from his neck to his collar, soaking a small piece of his pajamas, and then slowly seeping out and staining the strange bead.

Then... the cool Emperor's Serum in his hand suddenly became slightly hot, and Yu Tu had an inexplicable intuition in his heart—he was absorbing the Emperor's Serum.

Yu Tu stalled for time without making a sound: "Why do you want Emperor Liujian?"

"Plants replenish life, demons replenish luck, and humans replenish spirits." The black panther who stepped on Yu Tu said impatiently, "Who doesn't want good things! Don't play tricks on me!"

In the inner world, there is an iron rule that one cannot easily harm someone's life. Once one kills someone, not only will one's cultivation be hindered, but one will also be put on the blacklist of both the inner and outer worlds. In the worst case, one will be sent to a place of labor reform for hundreds of years, or in the worst case, one's life will be turned into a bounty by someone's snapping.

Black Panther is still young and doesn't really want to die.

It's obvious that the kid in front of me is a newbie, so if I threaten him, he will hand over the things obediently.

"You humans have to work hard to refine the Emperor's Fluid into pills before you can consume it. How can it be of much use to us demons?" Black Panther continued to threaten, "Good things should be left to those who know their goods! Hand it over!"

Yu Tu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why can't humans take it directly?"

Black Panther: “…”

"Why are you talking so much, little brat! The Emperor's Serum is a great tonic for the universe. If the human race's fragile bodies eat it, they will be in pieces!"

Black Panther was cursing, and when he pushed Yu Tu down and found out that this was a human cub who had just reached adulthood, his heart sank. This kind of cub who was between the protection of the first and second barrier laws was the most difficult to deal with!

He could say that he hadn't used his beastly body in the world for too long, and that he didn't control his strength well when greeting him, which resulted in a small cut on his neck. He could also use the same excuse, but if he had given someone a more serious injury, no excuse would have been acceptable! He would have been arrested and sent to jail!

Black Panther tried hard to recall the ferocity and murderousness he had when hunting, and stressed again: "Hand over the Emperor's Blood, or I will kill you!"

"Robbery and extortion are illegal." After the pain and numbness in his arm subsided, Yu Tu raised his arm and touched a furry leopard's front leg. "Can you loosen your claws? I'm almost being stepped on by you."

The black panther subconsciously moved its claws away from Yu Tu's neck, and then silently watched the human cub crawl out of the sand. His arms, knees, and cheeks were all broken, and he was covered in mud and blood, looking a little miserable.

Black Panther felt a little guilty about disappearing, and he thought that after he got the Emperor's Plasma, he might have to stay in jail for a few months.

He had already wasted too much time with this brat and was a little anxious. Black Panther liked to slack off during his training. If other people came, he couldn't guarantee that he would be the one to grab the Emperor's Plague in the end.

"Hand it over—" Under the bright moonlight, the black panther's eyes locked onto him, ready to strike. "I'll say it one last time!"

The kid kept dithering, and Black Panther's patience gradually ran out. If soft methods didn't work, he could only use hard methods. Half the effect is half the effect, it's better than nothing!

He stretched out his claws and prepared to repeat the trick, but at this moment, his ears sensitively caught a slight "rustling" sound, as if something was rustling in the sand.

...What is it?

This thought flashed through his mind extremely quickly, and the next second—an extremely thin vine broke out of the ground and firmly and accurately wrapped around his neck, winding, tightening, and tying a knot!

The green vines became more and more numerous, hanging the black panther in the air, strangling him so hard that his eyes rolled back and he cried out in pain: "Help, help..."

There is no spiritual power fluctuation in this human race kid who has just reached adulthood! Where on earth did this thing come from? !

The black panther flicked out its sharp claws, trying to cut the vine that was strangling his neck, but no matter what wounds he made on the vines, they would heal as before in the next second.

Such strange things have never appeared in either the inner world or the outer world!

Black Panther was strangled so much that he saw double vision in front of his eyes. In the black double vision, he saw a person. He couldn't quite see his features, but he could see that he seemed to be wearing a monocle on his face, with a green leaf-like ornament hanging from the end of the chain.

No one knew when he came or how long he had been watching; Black Panther was completely unaware of his presence.

The cane around his neck loosened, and fresh air rushed into his mouth and nose. Black Panther subconsciously took a deep breath, and then the cane around his neck tightened again, and he rolled his eyes again.

It was obvious that the powerful being in front of him could take his life with just a wave of his hand, but he refused.

He was like a cat teasing a mouse, not wanting to take his life, but making him behave badly enough, as if... as if he was venting his anger on this little human!

Black Panther was terrified. The cane around his neck had been tightened and loosened several times. He also stepped back and forth in front of the gate of King Yan's Palace several times. He was no longer as arrogant as before. He was barely breathing and his voice was weak:

"Boss... I shouldn't have taken a child's things... I know I was wrong - please, please forgive me..."

The boss he begged for mercy ignored him, and the cane on his neck continued to loosen, tighten, loosen, and tighten... Black Panther's eyes went dark and he fainted completely.

Before he lost consciousness, he had only one thought in his mind:

My life is over!!!

The black panther fainted, and Yu Tu became even more anxious.

He had just absorbed a portion of the Emperor's Plasma and summoned out those green vines at the critical moment. Controlling them himself was like a fish riding a bicycle, which was extremely difficult. After switching to a vest transformed from beads, the difficulty level rose to that of a cat controlling its tail. The green vines sometimes obeyed his command and sometimes did not. He was already trying his best to control these vines so as not to strangle the leopard to death directly!

Yu Tu screamed crazily in her heart, Black Panther is a black variant of the Golden Panther, it is the first in the country! The first in the country!

If you kill him, you will go to jail!

Stop! Stop it now!!!
