dusk
Large tracts of snowflakes fell from the dim sky one after another, without causing any waves, and melted silently into the vast sea.
A tall gray passenger ship came through the wind and snow, cutting through the waves.
On the shore, Hu Shuai's hill-like body remained motionless, next to him were the demon cat and a group of second-level demonic beasts.
The passenger ship was very fast, and it suddenly slowed down until it was a hundred feet away, and slowly docked towards the dock.
Before landing, the tall figure who had been standing on the bow of the ship jumped down, accompanied by a bold laughter:
"Brother Huchen, we meet again!"
Hu Chen, this is the nickname of Commander Hu. At this time, the demon tiger stood upright like a human, and also arched its front palms like a human:
"Fellow Taoist Xiong Yue, it's been a long time."
The one named Xiong Yue was a third-level demon bear. When he saw the owner of Huju Island personally coming to the pier to greet him, he felt very honored. He laughed a few times and greeted the demon cat as a gift. As for those second-level monsters, it was reasonable. Don't pay attention.
A group of monster beasts, surrounded by three third-level monster commanders, walked toward the mountain in a mighty manner.
There is a grand hall on the mountainside, with carved railings and jade walls. It is magnificent and magnificent. It was built by the human race of the Huroar Valley organized by the human monks. Hushuai usually doesn't like to stay here, but when guests come, he entertains them in this hall.
Outside the palace is covered with snow, and there are several large fires burning inside the palace. There are even two rows of green plants dotting the hall, making it as hot as a summer day.
A group of monsters filed in, with the handsome tiger at the top, the demon bear sitting in the host and guest position, and opposite the demon cat who was accompanying him. Generally speaking, after the monsters reach the third level, their behavior has gradually become more like that of humans. For example, at this banquet, everyone is sitting on a large stone chair, with their upper body leaning forward, which is almost the same as that of humans, and it is easier to talk and eat. .
As for the second-level monsters, most of them have not changed their habits and cannot enter such an elegant hall at this moment. They can only stand or squat behind the monster commander, acting as a guard to increase their power.
A row of demon foxes came forward and placed spiritual honey, fish fillets and other food in front of the table. These are all bears’ favorite foods, and they obviously take care of the guests’ preferences.
Several more demon monkeys came forward, each holding a wine jar weighing twenty kilograms.
Xiong Yue was overjoyed when he saw the fine wine. He immediately stretched out his giant palm and grabbed the wine jar. Then the wind from his palm struck out and the seal fell with a sound, leaving a neat incision.
The demon bear raised its neck, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine from the corner of its mouth with its furry palm, and shouted: "Happy, happy!"
Then he licked his face and said with a smile: "Brother Huchen, when did you hide this kind of fine wine? I have never drunk it before!"
"If you like it, brother, I will give you ten altars when I leave." Hushuai Yun Danfeng said lightly.
"Okay!" Xiong Yue was overjoyed and clapped his hands. A second-level demon bear behind him took a step forward and took out a tray with a wooden box on it from the storage bag.
"Brother, it's cool. Little brother, I can't hide it. I brought all the things I agreed to last time!"
Hu Shuai had no expression on his face and gestured slightly to the demon cat.
The cat manager stepped forward to take it and opened the wooden box in front of everyone, only to see a box full of red fruits. There were about ten fruits in the middle that were so red that they turned black and were as transparent as agate.
"One hundred blood refining fruits, ten of which are third-level," the bear demon said proudly, "Brother Huchen, would you like to order some?"
"No need," Hushuai waved his hand and said calmly, "I still don't believe you, brother?"
The cat manager happily closed the wooden box and put it into the storage bag on his waist.
Monsters usually have inherent bloodline talents. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the talent, and the stronger the strength. The blood refining fruit is just such a spiritual fruit that helps to purify blood. The few third-level ones among them are of great benefit to both the tiger commander and the demon cat.
However, compared to the joyful demon cat, Hushuai had a calm face, even a little gloomy.
Sure enough, Yao Xiong changed his tone and explained his purpose:
"Brother, I have prepared all the blood refining fruits. That red mud island?"
"Drink!" Hu Shuai shouted violently, and when he saw the demon bear suddenly changed his color, he immediately said slowly: "Why are you so anxious? It's your turn, are you still afraid that I won't give it to you?"
"How dare you." The demon bear snorted, grabbed another jar of wine next to him, and drank most of it.
It turns out that five years ago, the sea tribe in this sea area, led by Na Haiyu, combined with several third-level demon fish, once launched a large-scale attack on Huju Island.
The battle between the Monster Clan and the Sea Clan has been going on for a long time. A battle of this scale happens every three to five times.
However, that time, the old demon tiger, one of the three giants of Huju Island, refused to fight on the grounds of old age and frailty. However, the demon cat was weak at the early stage of the third level, and the tiger commander was weak, so he had no choice but to attack the giant bear. Dao asked for help, and finally with the help of Xiong Yue, he repelled the sea monster.
The reward given by Huju Island is Hongni Island.
This island is relatively close to Giant Bear Island and has always been coveted by Xiong Yue. Its radius is only a hundred miles, and the land is barren. Apart from being rich in a kind of spiritual material called Hongnaojin, there is no other profit, so Hushuai agreed without thinking at that time.
However, news later came from the mainland that the Demon Lord was organizing high-level human monks to refine a large magic weapon. .
Hongnao gold is a very high-quality bonding material, which is suitable for such large-scale magic weapons. So in a short period of time, the price of Hongnao gold increased several times, and Hongni Island became very popular.
Hu Shuai was unwilling to accept it, and kept delaying it on the grounds that Xiong Yue had promised a hundred blood refining fruits at that time, but he didn't expect that the demon bear had actually brought the spirit fruit today, and it had no reason to shirk.
Feeling unhappy, the wine was naturally tasteless. As a distinguished guest, Xiong Yue could not stand this kind of atmosphere. After drinking the second jar of spiritual wine, he suddenly spat the fish piece on the ground with a "poof" sound.
"Eat fish every day, eat fish every day, and a bird will appear in your mouth!"
"Brother Huchen, do you eat this bird food every day when you are on the island?"
This was a very rude question. The Demon Cat's expression changed, and he was about to speak out when he saw Commander Hu wave his hand and order:
"Go and call that boy named Yang Zhen. Doesn't he know how to cook? Let him cook two delicious dishes on the spot."
"If you don't do well, you will be killed."
After saying that, he raised the wine jar again and gestured to Xiong Yue: "Drink!"
There was an undoubted momentum in his tone. Xiong Yue was not as strong as it. Seeing it getting angry, he didn't dare to do it again. He snorted, picked up a wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a young man in a green shirt strode in. It was Yang Zhen.
When the demon cat sent someone to summon him, he had just finished refining today's bone-strengthening pill. He thought he could go back and rest, but he didn't want to have another mission.
"I've met Hu Shuai." He raised his head and cupped his hands.
Xiong Yue was huge, so of course he couldn't miss him, but since no one was introducing him, there was no need for him to come over and greet him.
The demon bear looked at the young man, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.

Thanks to my old friend velociraptor for his monthly support for two consecutive days! Thank you Carrot!
ps: I am out with my wife and children this week. Well, in my wife’s words, you don’t make any money writing this, so why don’t you spend time with your children properly when you go out? I can't answer it. (covering face)
So, hey, this is all time code, proving that I am still here.
It should be fine next week. Because the content of the next ten chapters has been in my mind for a while, and it has basically been determined.
I apologize again to my fellow readers. _&
