396 Don’t Be Too Greedy
Beasts were very territorial. With the strong aura of the Black Bull King nearby, the wolves did not dare to enter casually.
Rabu and the other demons finally caught their breath. The captain grinned. “Kid, you were not lying. Everyone owes you a favor.”
Song Shi shrugged and did not take it seriously.
“Little brother, you don’t look familiar. You don’t look like someone from Stone Town. Why are you alone in the Demon Beast Mountain Range?”
Rabu asked curiously, “How should I address you, little brother?”
“I’m from out of town. You can call me Jiu Yang.”
When Song Shi said that, the archer who was investigating the situation suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my god, the Black Bull King is really dead.”
The latter stood on the branch of a big tree and looked into the distance in shock.
A few kilometers away, the mountain-like Black Bull King lay on the ground. Blood flowed like a river from his mouth, and he had already lost his breath.
“Bai Mu, is the Bull King really dead?”
Captain Aqaba jumped hard on the ground in surprise. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he rushed to a huge tree at the side and grabbed the tree trunk a few times, climbing more than ten feet nimbly like a monkey.
When he saw the Black Bull King’s corpse, his body trembled violently and his eyes widened. “My Demon God, the bull is really f*cking dead. Could it be that some Demon King passed by here to kill him and we didn’t see it?”
“The Demon King you’re talking about is me.”
Song Shi said indifferently, but the five of them looked down on him.
“Little brother, you’re so skinny that even the lice on the Black Bull King can bite you to death. How could you have killed the Black Bull King?”
Holding the Mace, the burly guy scoffed. He ignored Song Shi and ran over to look at the corpse.
“…”
Song Shi could only say that his disguise was too good that these guys could not tell.
“Jiu Yang, you’re really like my son. You like to brag.”
Rabu patted Song Shi’s shoulder. “Let’s go and take a look. I wonder if we can get some loot. If we can pick up something, we’ll be rich.”
“…”
Song Shi felt that he had been taken advantage of.
“Kid, let’s go. There are wolves behind us.”
The last demon wearing half an iron mask reminded him and strode towards the Black Bull King’s corpse.
Song Shi shrugged and could not be bothered to explain. In any case, he was only interacting with these people for the time being. He would go to the other party’s stone town and figure out the map of the world.
He glanced back at the wolves. With a whimper of fear, they fled with their tails between their legs.
“Stone Town belongs to the Overlord, Green Mountain. As for the world outside it, I have never heard of it. After all, I’m just an ordinary person.”
Song Shi thought about some information in Rabu’s memory. The area he was in was controlled by an Overlord called Green Mountain. The nearby territory should be similar to a country in the lower realm.
As he slowly followed, Rabu and the other demons had already arrived in front of the Black Bull King and were nervously investigating the nearby situation.
After confirming that there was really no one, the five demon dwellers immediately cried out excitedly.
“No one. The expert who killed it didn’t care about its body at all.”
“Demon God, this is a Tier 4 Magical Beast!”
“These are all ours. Just one magic core is enough to make us rich!”
“Thank you for your gift, Demon God!”
“That’s great. My son’s debt can be paid.”
The five Demons’ words made Song Shi purse his lips. “Thank the Demon God my ass. You should thank me.”
“Kid, it’s true that you helped us come here, but you can’t be disrespectful to the Demon God.”
Captain Aqaba looked dissatisfied.
Demon Gods were equivalent to the heavens of this world. In the culture of the demons, it was roughly the Demon Gods who created this world.
Song Shi could not understand. He said expressionlessly, “If you call me brat again, I will be dissatisfied.”
“Hey, why are you so stubborn?”
Captain Aqaba was a little angry. Rabu, who was at the side, hurriedly said, “Captain, the smell of blood here is very strong. It might attract powerful magical beasts. Let’s get the good stuff and leave quickly.”
“That’s right. Although the Black Bull King’s aura can temporarily scare the wolves away, once the wolves know that the Black Bull King is dead, it will be troublesome.”
Archer Bai Mu agreed.
“That’s right. Why should I waste my breath on him? The magic core is the most important.”
Aqaba reacted and hurriedly came to the Black Bull King’s chest with his Ghost Head Blade.
Facing the mountain-like Black Bull King, Aqaba could only hold onto the cow fur in one hand and the Ghost Head Blade in the other. He revealed a solemn expression. “This Black Bull King has thick skin and thick flesh. Although I’m a level-seven Warrior, my strength is still too low. I don’t think I can break its skin. I’ll give it a try first. Prepare yourselves and attack together later.”
With that, he took a deep breath and his eyes lit up. The muscles on his bronze-colored arm expanded and instantly expanded. Wisps of white airflow were released from his hand and surged into the Ghost Head Blade, causing the cold light on the blade to increase sharply.
With a flash of the blade, he cut the cowhide with a simple line.
Chi.
A string of cow fur was cut off, and there was only a white mark on the cowhide. It was still far from being broken through.
“As expected, it won’t work. Everyone, come together.”
Aqaba made way for them. Soon, the five demons hung on the tripe and tried their best to cut it open.
“Aiya, this cowhide is really thick.”
“Hurry up, hurry up. It’ll be troublesome if the other guys come over.”
“It’s useless to be anxious. This big guy is much stronger than us.”
Song Shi was a little speechless as he watched them get busy. “Do you need my help?”
The few of them ignored his words.
Song Shi shook his head and squatted on the ground. He picked up a tree branch and drew circles.
He was thinking about something.
He was thinking about the relative position of the Boundless Continent and the Heavenly Demon Realm, the shape of the two worlds, and how the location of the spatial passageway could be deduced from this.
“I should walk around the outside of the Heavenly Demon World. Perhaps I can see the full picture.”
Song Shi glanced at the sky and realized that after entering, he did not know how to get out. From the spatial fluctuations, it was not easy to fly up.
“It’s out!”
Surprise sounded from the side. A fist-sized crystal core was held in Aqaba’s hand with blood, emitting obvious energy fluctuations.
The five of them looked at the Demon Core and were extremely excited.
“A Grade-3 magic core is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. How much can a Grade-4 one be worth?”
“It would probably be calculated by magic crystals!”
“We’re rich! We won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives!”
As they muttered, Song Shi sneered. “This is not something you warriors can take. If you ask me, just take the scraps. Don’t be too greedy.”
Warriors were the lowest level of cultivators in this world. They were roughly equivalent to Postnatal martial artists in the Boundless Continent. Of course, all the demons in this world could become Warriors as long as they reached adulthood. Their standards were much higher than those in the Boundless Continent.
His words woke the five demons from their joy. They looked at each other for a moment.
No matter which world it was, people all have experiences of being targeted because of their wealth. Not to mention that the environment in the Heavenly Demon World was more hostile, if even more powerful existences knew that they had a Class 4 Demon Core, their lives would definitely be in danger.
“Sigh, I’ve lived for so many years, but I’m not as wise as this young man.”
Rabu sighed.
