After all, hiding in Yuan City is not a long-term solution.
After these demons spent all their magic crystals, they were left with only two options.
One is to take the initiative to leave the city and join the battle with the extraterrestrial demons.
The second is to become a vassal of the heavenly demon or the earthly demon and live by relying on others.
The stall owner glanced at Xu Chunniang sympathetically, "The situation in the city is almost like this. Yuancheng is located deep underground and has the formation set up by the Demon King. Generally speaking, it is relatively safe.
However, there is no free lunch in the world. The maintenance of the city defense formation requires a lot of magic crystals. If you want to stay in the city overnight, the cost is not cheap. Most of the humans and demons live in the south of the city where rent is low. The situation there... you You will know when you go and take a look. "
"Thank you."
Xu Chunniang took out the remaining thousand magic crystals and handed them to the stall owner. After thanking the stall owner, she headed towards the south of the city.
As soon as she stepped into the area south of the city, she felt keenly that the atmosphere in the air had become much more chaotic. The surrounding demonic energy was mixed with a little fairy energy, and the kind she had felt before, it was impossible to say that The strange smell of unknown origin.
However, this kind of breath is very weak, and you have to concentrate and feel it carefully before you can feel it at all.
In addition, the place looks very desolate. At a glance, there are only a few low-rise houses mixed in among a number of rough caves.
Just as Xu Chunniang was looking at all this, the door of one of the houses suddenly opened, and a tall demon carefully bent over and walked out of the low room.
The demon glanced at her, his eyes clear, "New here?"
Xu Chunniang nodded, "I plan to rent a house."
According to the previous stall owner, the overnight fee in the south of the city is the cheapest.
"Rent?"
The demon smiled inexplicably and pointed to the low house behind him, "Do you know how long it takes to rent a house like this for one month?"
Without waiting for her to answer, he quoted, "Six thousand magic crystals."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. She bought a lot of information for only two thousand magic crystals. She thought the magic crystals were very valuable.
I didn't expect that one month's rent for such a low-rise and leaky house would be so expensive.
The total amount of magic crystals she has is less than 20,000 yuan. If she really rents this house, she can only rent it for three months. The rent is really not cheap.
Seeing that Xu Chunniang was overwhelmed by the price, the devil was not surprised.
He crossed his arms and asked with interest, "How about it, ten thousand magic crystals a month, do you want to rent it? If you rent it, I can choose the best one for you."
Xu Chunniang didn't care about the other party's attitude, "Is there anything cheaper?"
"Is it cheap? Of course it is. Do you see these caves behind me?"
The demon turned sideways and looked behind him, "Speaking of which, the space in these caves is much larger than that of houses, but the effect of resisting black breath is much worse than that of wooden houses."
"Black Breath?"
Xu Chunniang repeated it subconsciously. She was very sure that this was the first time she heard this word.
"Don't you even know what Black Breath is?"
The demon gave her a strange look, "Black breath is a mysterious substance that exists outside the territory. It fills all corners of the outside world. It is a great tonic for the devils outside the territory. Its specific function should be similar to what we do when we practice. The magic used.”
"That's it, I understand."
Xu Chunniang thought about the indescribable breath she felt. It turned out to be called black breath.
"You just said that these caves are not as effective as wooden houses in resisting the black breath. Are the black breath bad for us?"
"Not only is it disadvantageous, this black breath is simply the nemesis of our demon clan!"
When talking about the black breath, the devil looked unhappy and disgusted, "When this thing enters our body, it will swallow the devil's energy and strengthen itself. It's very scary!"
Xu Chunniang was surprised, "Is this black breath so powerful?"
The demon sighed, "Isn't it? This area is vast and vast. There are not only demonic and fairy Qi, but also mysterious and strange black breath. As demon cultivators, if we accidentally inhale the fairy Qi, it will be nothing more. It will be uncomfortable for ten days and a half.
If you accidentally inhale the black breath, you will easily lose the magic energy and damage the demon seeds. If you inhale too much black breath in a short period of time, it may even cause your cultivation to regress and your realm to fall! "
After listening to the other party's story, Xu Chunniang realized how terrifying the black breath was. It seemed that outside the territory, it wasn't just the extraterrestrial demons that were threatening!
The devil felt sad, "To put it bluntly, the main reason why the rent in this area of Nancheng is cheap is that there is a gap in the city defense formation, and here, it happens to be in the gap, and the black breath from outside can follow the gap. Get in.
When these wooden houses and caves were first built, some unique items from outside the territory were added to resist the black breath. "
Xu Chunniang looked at the cave behind him, "How many magic crystals are needed per month to rent these caves?"
"There are three types of rules for caves: upper, middle and lower. Among them, the upper-level cave is the largest and the most expensive. It requires three thousand magic crystals per month, followed by the medium one, which only needs one thousand, and the lower one, which has the monthly rent. Five hundred is enough."
The demon suggested, "If you don't have many magic crystals on your body, just rent a lower-grade cave. The effectiveness of these caves in resisting the black breath is about the same, but they are a little crowded."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised, "Is the space in the lower-class cave very narrow?"
"Not really..."
The demon hesitated to speak, "The lower-class cave has to live with the other seven people, so it is naturally a bit crowded.
In fact, not only the lower-grade caves, but also the medium-grade caves need to be shared with other people, but the number of people living together is slightly smaller. Unless you rent a high-grade cave, you can enjoy the entire cave to yourself. "
Xu Chunniang couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in a cave with the other seven people.
People who practice Taoism have sharp ears and eyes. If they live in the same room, not only will there be no secrets, but it will also be difficult to enter the state of cultivation.
The demon seemed to guess what she was thinking and explained.
"Actually, many people couldn't accept it when they first came here. They would rather have more magic crystals than share a room with other people. But when their magic crystals are almost used, they have to settle for the next best thing.
In the end, there were many people who couldn't even afford to live in a low-grade cave. "
"Let's wait until we get to that point. I want a high-quality cave house and rent it for a month first."
"OK."
The demon took the magic crystal handed over by Xu Chunniang and simply threw her a stone talisman.
"The number on the talisman corresponds to the corresponding cave. Remember, the cave cannot completely block the black breath. It is best not to practice in the mansion for more than three hours every day. Once the practice time is too long, the cultivation level will be reduced. Injured by the black breath gathered in the body.”
