Chapter 346: Whereabouts of the Evil Demons
The sudden appearance of the human-faced owl startled Su Xiaoxiao.
Before Wu Gu could retort, the human-faced owl continued to shrilly cry out.
"Moreover, you know nothing about medicine and pharmacy. Even if you could use the 'Soul-Prolonging Pill' taught by this old woman to prolong her life, it would only be temporary."
"Before completely mastering this old woman's ultimate technique, the 'Nine Heavens Divine Needle,' you can only rely on medicine to keep your godmother's life hanging by a thread."
"And every time one eats the Soul-Prolonging Pill, it is more painful than death... If I were Madame Green Bamboo, I would rather die here than live a miserable life!"
The human-faced owl screeched and screamed at the top of its lungs.
However, as soon as that harsh sound fell, Madame Green Bamboo in the arms of the little fox demon weakly opened one eye and murmured with her last breath.
"I... am willing..."
The sudden weak words from Madame Green Bamboo made the area outside the Green Bamboo Residence slightly quiet.
Then, the human-faced owl opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
"he...tui..."
After spitting phlegm, the human-faced owl finally spoke, "Look, she is already on the verge of death. Let Madame Green Bamboo go. Leaving now is truly the best way to die."
After the human-faced owl finished speaking, Wu Gu, who had been restraining herself for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
"You filthy bird! Haven't been disciplined in days, do you want to play around? What does it have to do with me taking an apprentice when it comes to you, a spare food material? Keep making noise, I will stew you in a pot!"
Wu Gu's scolding left the little fox demon stunned.
It was the first time she had seen Witch Wu Gu swear like this.
But thinking about what the human-faced owl had just said, she couldn't care about her shock and hurriedly said, "Noble lady! I am willing to be your apprentice and inherit your mantle. I beg you to accept me as your humble disciple."
"I am willing to serve and follow you for my whole life, only asking that you teach me how to rescue Madame Green Bamboo..."
As the little fox demon spoke, she kowtowed to Wu Gu repeatedly, paying respects as if to a master.
As she received the little fox demon's kowtows, Wu Gu glared at the human-faced owl nearby and mouthed a curse.
If you cause any more trouble, I'll stew you and make soup tonight!
After warning the human-faced owl, Wu Gu quickly helped Su Xiaoxiao up and smiled kindly, saying, "Good! Very well, I will teach you the method of refining the Soul-Prolonging Pill and help you take revenge for Madame Green Bamboo.
"After that, I will teach you the life-saving Nine Heavens Divine Needle. As long as you master it, reviving Madame Green Bamboo will be a piece of cake."
"Well, since time is of the essence, we can skip the formalities for now. We'll make up for the apprenticeship ceremony later. Let me first teach you how to refine the Reviving Soul Pill..."
Outside the bamboo house, Wu Gu's face was full of joy.
In contrast, the human-faced owl, with its fierce appearance and ominous expression, snorted discontentedly, flapped its wings and flew away.
It was indeed afraid of being made into a stew.
After all, this old woman is a person of her word...
Wu Gu accepting new apprentices and the fox demon paying her respects at the small bamboo house.
While in the mountains to the north of the Fire Pass Country's border, the harsh wind howled and all things withered away.
The land that borders to the north between the Fire Pass Country and Youxiong Country seems to have been in a barren state for a very long time.
Pitch-black desolate mountains, rugged and treacherous cliffs jutting out of the earth like the ribs of a consumptive patient.
Not to mention the dense jungles to the south and the wandering birds and beasts in the mountains, even wild grass is rare in this desolate mountain.
Such a barren land cannot be called a no-man's-land anymore. One might even say that it is a 'dead land' outright.
As for the Fire Pass Country and the Youxiong Country, this vast, barren land which stretches thousands of miles is the most solid natural barrier.
Apart from cultivators with extraordinary cultivation bases, ordinary merchants are unable to cross this wasteland.
As a result, for a long time, the Fire Pass Country located in the southeast corner had little contact with the outside world.
Because to the east and south of the border lies a vast sea, to the west an endless desert, and to the north a barren, lifeless land...
Apart from cultivators, it is rare to see people from outside of this country.
And in the midst of this barren and lifeless land, there is now a group of demons lurking.
After escaping from Hanyu Mountain, they fled all the way north, hiding in the barren and lifeless land at the edge of the country's border to avoid being caught by pursuers.
However, to their surprise, it had been three days since they escaped from Hanyu Mountain, but there was still no sign of pursuers.
According to the news from the outside world, the Wolf God is still staying at Hanyu Mountain and has not immediately rushed to rescue his disciple as they had expected.
Inside the pitch-black cave, several demons stand facing each other.
Deep inside the cave, multiple levels of formations have been set up to isolate any breath or scent from being tracked, ensuring that no one can follow and reach this place.
However, even so, the demons are still uneasy.
They are always ready to flee and prepared to escape.
Even Mo Ye, who was injured when he escaped from Hanyu Mountain and now his condition has been getting worse, has also been tense these days and dares not be careless.
Looking at the demons present there, Xie Yunniang, who had just returned from outside, took a deep breath and said.
"We have received reliable news that the cave master was killed by the Wolf God with a single sword strike outside Yanjing City three days ago. The many demon soldiers and generals who followed the cave master were also all executed, and not one of them survived."
"On the day of the demons' annihilation, blood was splattered over hundreds of miles of land outside Yanjing City, directly turning the mountains and forests into blood red."
"They were unable to capture the Dragon Soul, and it directly fled beyond the sky, disappearing into the clouds..."
A clear and concise report was given regarding the latest obtained reliable news. Xie Yunniang looked at the demons present there and said, "Now that the Green Hell Cave has been completely destroyed, I have lost my refuge. The cave master who promised you the Dragon Soul is also nowhere to be found."
"The road ahead, we can only walk it ourselves."
After Xie Yunniang finished talking, there was silence in the pitch-black cave for a long time.
It was not until the hunched and coughing Mo Ye, who was sitting in the corner, coughed painfully and spat out several mouthfuls of ink-black blood, that the deathly silence of the cave was broken.
The demons quickly spoke up to comfort him, saying, "Mo Ye, don't worry. Let's take it slow..."
Immediately after, the Red-blue Twin Devils looked at each other.
The Blue Devil spoke up, "Since the Dragon Soul is gone, let's leave the Fire Pass Country. The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is fierce and terrifying. We must keep our distance from him."
The Red Devil said, "Exactly! Now that the Green Hell Cave is destroyed, it is conceivable that after the wizards of the Fire God Temple have rested, they will definitely use the power of thunder again to sweep away all the monsters within the country. It may be that the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is busy with worldly affairs and has not chased after us immediately... The even more terrifying storm is yet to come. Therefore, I propose to leave the Fire Pass Country and head north!"
The Blue Devil repeatedly nodded and said, "North is good! The Kingdom of All Demons in the north is divided between good and evil. The Blue Hill Country is ruled by a beautiful and outstanding Lord, and the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace is cold and intimidating. They are truly the best places in the world to go."
The Red Devil said, "I like the Lord of the Blue Hill Country, but unfortunately, the demons can only go to the Arctic Skyark Palace... Alas... what a pity."
The Blue Devil sneered and said, "What a pity? Even though the Lord of the Blue Hill Country is good, can't we choose the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace? I prefer the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace. She is the most beautiful woman in the demonic path. I have longed for her. If I can be the Palace Lord's dog and be at her disposal in this life, I would not have lived in vain!"
