The lynx stared at the boy with a pair of yellow-brown eyes, and its huge head moved slightly.
The middle-aged man understood the idea and strode towards Yang Zhen. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the storage bag in his hand.
"Master Manager." The man smiled flatteringly and handed over the trophy.
The Cat Controller held his head high and didn't even look. The man smiled coquettishly, reached out with his spiritual consciousness, and easily lifted the restrictions on the storage bag.
Yang Zhen's storage bag, together with the items inside, was designed to cope with this kind of situation, so naturally she wouldn't put much effort into restraint.
Some spirit stones, a few pills, a sword, a shield, three to five talismans, and two sets of clothes looked quite shabby.
Finally, there is the dilapidated spaceship.
It wasn't until this thing appeared that the middle-aged man showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He carefully held the flying boat with both hands and presented it again.
The Cat Manager lowered his head this time and looked at this second-hand item, which in the Xu Kingdom was only worth four thousand spirit stones at most. His eyes were fiery and his face was full of joy:
"Okay, good stuff! This trip to the general manager was finally worthwhile, and I didn't take you to patrol the mountain in vain. Deacon Xie, please activate this thing, and we will return to the mountain by flying boat to meet the handsome tiger!"
Amidst the laughter, a two-foot-long flying boat with several damaged sides appeared on the grass in front.
The cat manager had a strong and vigorous posture, and with a lunge, he had firmly occupied the bow position, looking left and right, and was amazed.
Deacon Xie escorted Yang Zhen, boarded the flying boat one after another with the young man, and stood behind the cat demon.
Then there was a sway in the trees, and a demon wolf and a demon leopard jumped out one after another. They jumped onto the airship quickly, each occupying a side of the ship.
They are all second-level monsters.
The flying boat quickly took off into the sky, leading the strange-looking team towards the depths of the mountain.
…
"Hahaha! I have finally reached heaven, so happy!"
"I will definitely become the Demon King in the future. I will have a great time under this fucking blue sky and white clouds!"
The demon cat was lying on the bow of the boat with its forelimbs, looking down at the ground below, feeling satisfied.
Monsters are no better than humans. If they were not born with talent, they would not be able to fly even at the third level. Only after advancing to the fourth level and transforming into a human can one be able to travel in the sky with the help of human Qi movement methods.
That's why this demon cat feels this way.
"The manager has high aspirations, and I admire him greatly." Deacon Xie came over to compliment him.
Unexpectedly, this demon cat did not appreciate it. His expression changed, and he bared his teeth and scolded:
"Bah! You humans are hypocritical! People named Jie, don't think that you can fly. This manager can't cure you!"
"How dare you, my subordinates, have any wrong thoughts? I'm in charge of this." Deacon Xie complained repeatedly and didn't dare to say anything again.
But a moment later, the demon cat cursed again:
"Jie, do you really want to go to heaven? Do you want to throw me to death?"
"Don't dare, I'll come down right now, come down right now." Deacon Xie responded hurriedly, turning the flying boat downward until it was no more than a hundred feet above the ground. Only then did the demon cat angrily stop shouting.
Deacon Xie quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Different grades of flying boats have a most suitable flying height and flying speed. If you are too close to the ground, not only will you lose speed, but the amount of spiritual stones consumed will also increase exponentially.
However, Deacon Xie would not dare to speak out these truths even if he died.
After half an hour of this, the flying boat arrived at a mountainside.
Yang Zhen didn't take a break along the way, trying to talk to these two people many times. However, after being scolded by the demon cat, Deacon Xie concentrated on controlling the flying boat and almost said nothing. The young man's lips trembled, and he wanted to speak several times, but he was worried about the demon cat being around, so in the end he didn't say a word.
This made Yang Zhen feel anxious, wondering where in the world this was.
However, the place name here was accidentally spoken by the demon cat. It was the name he had just heard an hour ago——
Huju Island.
It wasn't long before he understood why the island was named after it.
The master of this island is a third-level demon tiger.
…
The flying boat landed slowly in front of the woods, and the strong wind caused the branches and leaves to rustle. Such a big movement immediately attracted many monsters to come out to see what was new. Monkeys, deer, rabbits, sheep, pigs, roe deer, snakes, etc., the whole animal world.
These monsters all came from a cave dozens of feet away. The cave is three feet high, and the entrance is extremely spacious. There is a second-level demon monkey guarding it on the left and right with a stick. But just when the flying boat landed, the two guards also dropped their sticks and ran over to join in the fun.
Deacon Xie put away the flying boat and handed it to the demon cat respectfully. The monster grabbed it unceremoniously and put it into a storage bag.
The storage bag is tied under the neck like a rope, which looks quite funny.
The demon cat held its head high and walked ahead triumphantly. All the demons gave way to the road one after another. The two demon wolves and leopards on the flying boat watched Yang Zhen and followed closely behind.
Deacon Xie and the young man stayed outside the cave and did not go in.
The cave was winding and winding, and after walking about four to five hundred feet, we came to a hall.
The hall is about forty feet long, with several luminous pearls hanging around it. The light is dim, illuminating a three-story high platform in the deepest part that is about ten feet high, like a huge monster that chooses people to devour.
After a while, Yang Zhen realized that this was not an illusion. There was a large stone bed on the high platform, and a two-foot-long tiger was lying on its side, snoring loudly.
The sound vibrated back and forth in the cave, which was turbid and unclear. It echoed with the snoring on the high platform. It was breathtaking, making people feel upset and depressed.
Next to the demon tiger, there is a wine jar upside down. The wine in it has obviously been drunk long ago, leaving only a strong smell of wine. Yang Zhen twitched her nose and judged that the wine should be in the second grade, with average taste. If placed in Yunya Town, the price of this altar would not exceed ten spirit stones.
In addition, there were some gnawed bones scattered under the stone bed, dripping with blood, but it was impossible to tell what kind of animal bones they were.
The cat demon walked to the bottom of the high platform and found a place to rest in front of the stone steps, silently.
The demon wolf and demon leopard curled their tails, straightened their bodies, and also made no sound.
Since the monster was like this, Yang Zhen naturally didn't dare to make any move. She stood there honestly, but she was secretly vigilant in her heart.
The demon tiger's strength is probably at the late third level. If he really has any malicious intentions, even if he adds Shi Yi, Zixue, Zhao Yue'er and others, his chances of winning are less than 30%.
What's more, there is a third-level demon cat next to him, as well as countless second-level demonic beasts.
It’s really deep into the tiger’s den!
He looked nervous and looked around tremblingly.
The cat demon's eyelids were half-opened, and he noticed Yang Zhen's expression, with a sinister smile on his face.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a rustling sound from the high platform, and the demon tiger woke up.
"You bobcat, why are you disturbing me from sleeping?" A lazy voice sounded from above.
The cat demon trembled, stood up instantly, stood upright like a human, and said in a sharp voice:
"Commander Qi, when he was patrolling the island in humble duty, he discovered a spy from the Human Red Tan Society."
"Oh?" The demon tiger turned over and was already sitting on the stone bed. He glanced at Yang Zhen indifferently with a pair of bell-sized tiger eyes and said casually: "Since he is a human spy, I will kill him."
"Yes!" The demon cat responded happily, turning around to look at Yang Zhen, with a cruel smile on his face.
"Wait a minute -" Yang Zhen saw that the situation was not good and shouted loudly: "Qi Hushuai, I am not a spy! I have never heard of the Hongtan Society!"
I don’t know if he had woken up by now or if Yang Zhen’s excuse had an effect. The demon tiger looked at Yang Zhen critically and did not say kill, but asked:
"Aren't you a spy? Who are you?"
"The poor man came from the depths of the sea to the west..." Yang Zhen repeated what she had said not long ago.
"How do you get here in the vast sea?"
"Pindao has a flying boat."
"Flying boat?" Yaohu became interested: "Where is it? Take it out quickly!"
Yang Zhen glanced at the demon cat with "fear" and muttered: "Sir, the manager borrowed it for viewing."
"Oh?" Yaohu looked at the cat manager with an unkind look.
The demon cat stared at Yang Zhen hatefully and reluctantly took out the flying boat and the storage bag around its neck.
It had learned how to control it from Deacon Xie, and immediately recited the mantra silently, and in an instant the two-foot-long flying boat regained its appearance.
Yaohu snorted, ignored Shanmao, and continued to question Yang Zhen:
"Where did this come from?"
"My master left it to me."
"How long did it take you to come from the sea?"
Yang Zhen thought for a while and decided that the time shouldn't be too long or too short, so just tell the truth.
"Fifteen or six days."
"Hushuai!" But the demon cat screamed: "The king once said that if I go to the east of Huju Island for a hundred thousand miles, there will be no other islands. This man must be lying!"
"Yeah," Yaohu nodded and frowned: "How far does your flying boat fly every hour?"
Oops!
Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly screamed, but she couldn't talk nonsense at this moment, so she had to bite the bullet and answer:
"No less than four hundred miles per hour."
After saying this, he secretly ordered Yiyi, Zixue and Zhao Yuer'er to be ready to take action at any time.
At the same time, I was also wondering, if this place is the Western Region, the one hundred thousand miles to the east cannot be all the sea, because the distance between the east and west regions is almost one hundred thousand miles.
Could it be in the deep sea, a hundred thousand miles away, to the west of the Western Region?
But I have never heard that there is land in that place!
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he had a vague suspicion.
It’s just that this is so incredible!
On his side, he was in a state of confusion, but on the other side, the demon tiger was indeed calculating carefully:
"Four hundred miles per hour, twelve hours a day, that is..."
"Well, less than ten thousand miles, fifteen or six days, that's fifteen or sixty thousand miles."
A smile appeared on Yaohu's face: "The island you mentioned must be a hundred thousand miles away, and it does not conflict with what the king said."
It turned back to look at the demon cat and said with great satisfaction: "Manager Cat, I have just made the calculation. Do you understand?"
The demon cat was so convinced that he lay on the ground on all fours and said loudly: "Commander Tiger is wise! His subordinates are dull and do not understand human arithmetic. Commander Tiger is talented and intelligent, and his subordinates admire him very much!"
"However," it had not given up yet, and continued: "The king said that humans cannot be trusted. This kid's words are unfounded. Even if he comes from the deep sea 150,000 to 60,000 miles away, who can prove it?"
"That makes sense." The subordinate's praise made the tiger demon feel full of energy, and he no longer cared about his opposition. He looked at Yang Zhen again and said with a cold face:
"Wu that human boy, what's your expertise? Do you know how to use formations?"
Yang Zhen didn't understand what level it meant by "will", so she didn't dare to respond for a moment and said vaguely:
"I have been practicing with the master for a while, and I know a little bit about it."
"You know a little bit? That means you don't understand!" Yaohu's face darkened: "Where is the weapon refining? Do you know how to refine the flying boat in front of you?"
This Yang Zhen really didn't know how to do it, so she had no choice but to shake her head.
The demon tiger's face became even more gloomy: "You can't do this, you can't do that! Human boy, what can you do?"
The tone was solemn, and there was no concealment of murderous intent.
Yang Zhen felt a shiver in her heart. This was not the time to hide her clumsiness. She immediately shouted: "Alchemy, poor Taoist is good at alchemy!"
The murderous intention subsided like a tide, and Yaohu's expression softened: "There is no proof for what you say. Let's make a furnace of bone-strengthening pills on the spot and let me take a look!"
Bone Strengthening Pill?
Yang Zhen was stunned, what kind of elixir is this?
From the name, it doesn't sound like a serious elixir.
Seeing him stunned there, Yaohu's eyes turned cold, and his murderous intent was revealed: "Why, don't you know how to do it?"
"Tiger Commander Mingjian," Yang Zhen calmed down and cupped his hands and said: "There are more than thousands of alchemy recipes in the world! Although I have been learning alchemy with my master in the mountains since I was a child, and I am proficient in alchemy, but there is just one that I have never heard of. If you don’t know the name of the elixir and its medicinal properties, you won’t dare to say that it can be refined.”
"You don't even know about the bone-strengthening pill?" Yaohu stared at Yang Zhen. Seeing that he was calm and calm, and his expression was quite confident, he couldn't help but believe it.
"Manager," it ordered, "go and summon Deacon Lu, and bring the alchemy recipe and the alchemy furnace."
The demon cat followed the order and went out, followed by the two demon wolves and demon leopards. Suddenly there was only one person and one tiger left in the hall.
Yaohu looked Yang Zhen up and down and continued to ask:
"Human boy, what else do you want?"
Yang Zhen thought for a moment and replied: "Cooking."
Yaohu hummed, seemingly not interested.
"The poor man can also brew spiritual wine." Yang Zhen looked at the overturned wine jar and had an idea.
"Seriously?" Yaohu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, okay!"
Not long after, the demon cat led a young man in his thirties in. This man was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance, but his body was slightly stooped and he looked a little timid.
There is still a faint fragrance of alchemy on his body, he must have just come out of the alchemy room.
"Lu You'an has seen Hu Shuai!" The young man saluted respectfully.
"Deacon Lu, take out your collection of elixir recipes and the elixir furnace, and ask this boy to come out and refine a furnace of bone-strengthening elixirs." The tiger demon ordered.
"Yes." Lu You'an didn't dare to disobey. He groped for a while, took out a crumpled booklet, and handed it over.
Then he took off a small ornament from his waist. The ornament swelled up in the wind and soon turned into a three-foot-tall alchemy furnace.
Second-level low-grade, earth attribute. Yang Zhen recognized its appearance and grade at a glance.
He took the pamphlet with both hands, looked up, and found that the man was also looking at him, his eyes were very cold.
The humans here don’t seem very friendly! Yang Zhen was surprised, picked up the booklet, and read it carefully.
This is a collection of elixir recipes, with a total of less than twenty elixir recipes. They are all handwritten. The handwriting is beautiful, and it seems to be written by a woman.
The bone-strengthening pill is impressively on the list, and ranks first.
After a few glances, he suddenly realized!
What bone-strengthening pill is, isn't it the beast spirit pill?
The Beast Spirit Pill not only helps monsters strengthen their muscles and bones, improve their cultivation, but also enlightens their wisdom and enhances their understanding. It is the most commonly used pill for monsters to advance.
But just because it's commonly used doesn't mean it's cheap. This elixir is available from the first to the third level. From the second level and above, some of the main medicines are difficult to cultivate and difficult to find in the outside world, so the price naturally rises.
The booklet in front of me only contains first- and second-level pill prescriptions.
etc!
Yang Zhen looked carefully and was surprised to find that this prescription was actually——
One main ingredient is missing!
PS: I got the direction wrong yesterday. Yang Zhen and others should be on the west side of the island. This has been corrected.
