Chapter 310: Chapter 296 Sa
Shen Jun said, "Three died. Three demons and a dragon consud the dragon blood petal first. The three demons died instantly, and the dragon fell into a coma, bleeding all over its body. It’s unlikely to survive for long."
"What were their conditions of death?"
"Reminded
of powerful demons that had been annihilated."
Zhou Leng pondered and asked, "What about Deep Dark Fury?"
"Being of the Starry Sky Bloodline, he’s perfectly fine. He even marveled at the power of the dragon blood petal."
"Are you okay too?"
"Yes," Zhou Leng nodded.
"That’s great."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then seed to think of sothing, closely observing Zhou Leng.
His skin had a subtle tint of light red, and his body’s aura seed sowhat stronger.
"What did Deep Dark Fury say about those who died?"
"He said the dragon blood flower is too powerful, ordinary demons aren’t worthy of consuming it. He took five more petals from them and compensated with so treasures."
Zhou Leng nodded, looking into the distance, where so demons were peeking, their gazes evasive, gradually moving away.
"Are they waiting for
to die?" Zhou Leng asked.
"Yes, so demons said so," Snow Mountain Rock replied.
Zhou Leng’s eyes sparkled, "Who said it, take
there."
"Ah? Ah! Your command." Snow Mountain Rock led Zhou Leng and the others.
"The Ice Snow Divine Sect will not be desecrated!"
Zhou Leng shouted deeply and charged into a demon’s spell hut.
Sounds of chaos and screams echoed within, and shortly after, Zhou Leng erged.
Indeed, there truly exists a perfect solution in the world, satisfying both the Human Race and the Magic Spirit Bag.
"Next one."
"Really going to continue?"
"Next one," Zhou Leng said.
After killing three demons, Zhou Leng looked at the fourth one.
That demon took off the Magic Spirit Bag, kneeled down with a thud, and offered it up with both hands.
"Please forgive my ignorance, Great Cyan Dragon."
Zhou Leng stared at the demon.
The demon was trembling with fear.
Zhou Leng snorted lightly, "Take it."
Snow Mountain Rock walked over, accepted the Magic Spirit Bag, and handed it to Zhou Leng.
"Thank you, Great Cyan Dragon. Thank you, Great Cyan Dragon." The demon hurried away.
The distant demons were puzzled, wondering if this Cyan Dragon was killing demons rely to gain resources.
A shadow flew over from the horizon.
Soon, it approached the camp high in the sky.
Deep Dark Fury’s colossal figure circled over the camp, slowly descending toward Zhou Leng’s location.
Zhou Leng looked at Deep Dark Fury. His flesh was fully healed, although a few spots on his scales were still growing.
His broken claws and damaged wings were also repaired.
Deep Dark Fury was pleased to see Zhou Leng still alive, but he maintained a cold deanor, preserving the proud and aloof nature of a Spine-headed Demon Dragon.
"Cyan Dragon, did you also consu a dragon blood flower?"
"I ate one petal."
"You’re certainly different from those weaklings. I thought you’d be fine eating it, though... it was indeed a bit painful. How do you feel?"
"Not bad. The flower watered by the Starry Sky Dragon Blood indeed significantly strengthened my blood," Zhou Leng replied.
Deep Dark Fury stood twenty ters tall. Unlike ordinary giant dragons who prefer standing on all fours, he was more accustod to standing on his hind legs.
This allowed him to stand over twelve ters high, equivalent to four stories.
Looking at the crowd, he had to bend his neck down.
He scanned the people beside Zhou Leng, flapping his wings, creating a whirlwind.
Everyone tactfully moved away, leaving only Zhou Leng.
In the distance, demons watched curiously. Deep Dark Fury never took the initiative to interact with demons, not even bothering to descend for the sake of desecrating scribes.
"On my journey, I encountered the Barbarian Star Axe and already agreed on his help to challenge the highest peak. Before entering, I had also discussed with the Wind of Grey Steel to climb the highest mountain together."
"I really want to know the extent of strength of the highest mountain that even Li Shenkong couldn’t conquer."
"Hmph, in the future, I will certainly surpass Li Shenkong."
Zhou Leng asked, "Have you t Li Shenkong?"
"Yes, defeated. However, it wasn’t him I lost to, but the Star-slaying Sword in his hand. His luck is remarkable to have a Starry Sky Weapon. I used all my might but couldn’t beat him. Alas..."
Deep Dark Fury let out a long sigh.
Zhou Leng looked at Deep Dark Fury, puzzled. This demon dragon was different from the legends.
In the rumors of demons, Deep Dark Fury was said to be capricious, prone to slaughtering, reserved in speech, and issued commands through the sacrilegious scribe.
Over the past few days of interaction, Deep Dark Fury indeed enjoyed slaughtering but seed to have an innate pride, disdaining to associate with ordinary demons.
"Your strength is close to Li Shenkong from last year without the Star-slaying Sword, but of course, only close."
"Therefore, I’m very curious about your true identity."
"Ding Linglong? It’s a woman."
"Kang Lanhe? Doesn’t feel right."
"Miller of Eagle Alliance? Doesn’t fit either."
"Zhang Xinglie is close, but it still doesn’t feel right."
"I suspect you might not even be on the youth rankings, or, you might not be human at all."
"Hmm... don’t tell , let
guess again..."
Deep Dark Fury kept mumbling, while also being stubborn with itself.
Deep Dark Fury stared at the youth rankings for a while, shook its head, and said, "Forget it, just tell ."
"I can’t say."
"Hmm?" Deep Dark Fury’s pitch-black eyes were full of disbelief, with a kind of clarity as if untouched by the harshness of society.
"It’s a secret," Zhou Leng said.
"I’m Deep Dark Fury, I will definitely keep your secret." Deep Dark Fury was a bit lost on how a human dare keep a secret when it is the most noble Demon Dragon in the world, with credibility and power that no demon would refuse. Why would this human still keep a secret?
"I can’t say," Zhou Leng insisted.
"You, don’t trust , even though I kindly shared so Monster Snake at with you..." Deep Dark Fury slightly lowered its head, feeling a bit defeated.
In the world of Spine-headed Demon Dragons, sharing at ant being friends.
"It’s not about not trusting you; it’s just that my identity is highly classified, can’t be disclosed," Zhou Leng started to fabricate.
"Oh, indeed, you humans are quite good at these kinds of things," Deep Dark Fury lifted its head, no longer feeling defeated.
Deep Dark Fury said, relieved, "Are you interested in teaming up with other races to climb the tallest mountain?"
"Hmm? Isn’t the purpose of entering this ti to eliminate the Humanoid Alliance, mainly to slaughter human Trial Takers?" Zhou Leng asked.
"That’s their goal, what’s it got to do with , Deep Dark Fury? I only want to reach the peak and defeat Li Shenkong," Deep Dark Fury said calmly, without the majesty it had before.
Zhou Leng couldn’t quite understand what Deep Dark Fury was thinking and said, "We’re currently slaughtering humans; it’s hard for them to cooperate."
"Slaughter is slaughter, cooperation is cooperation. Kill all the weaklings, leaving only strong humans, perfect for cooperation, no?" said Deep Dark Fury as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Zhou Leng pondered the ecology of Demon Purgatory, from the perspective of demons, this logic indeed made sense.
"And then what after cooperating?"
"Then we’d have a big battle, the winner lives, the loser dies; otherwise, why co to the youth battle?"
Zhou Leng said, "Humans don’t quite understand this logic. Most humans hope to either cooperate long-term or fight long-term, this kind of... cooperating when you need to and fighting when you need to, is called having your cake and eating it too."
"Hmm? What’s the problem? Succubi love to have their cake and eat it too, they are very good at it, but my dad is strict, forbidding
from interacting with Succubi, having killed several hundred who tried to seduce ."
Zhou Leng looked at the several-ter-high demon dragon, the rigid human thinking was slightly shocked.
"Humans and demons, are different after all," Zhou Leng said helplessly.
"People from the Eagle Alliance, Demon Worship Sect, Seagull Alliance, you humans have many who are just the sa, don’t your Dragon Country’s noble families often do similar things? I often read Ten Realms news and don’t see much difference between humans and demons," said Deep Dark Fury, pondering.
Zhou Leng thought about it but couldn’t find a coback.
So he said, "So of us humans dislike this approach because humans aren’t as resilient to strife as demons."
"That’s true, many weak demon clans were tornted to extinction, so were quite tasty," Deep Dark Fury agreed with Zhou Leng’s perspective this ti.
Zhou Leng blinked, finding this line of thinking quite peculiar.
Deep Dark Fury said, "How about this, try teaming up with humans or other Humanoid Alliance experts to see if we can cooperate on climbing the highest peak. I went up the mountain earlier for a look, it seems we might not be able to take it with just a few of us; trying doesn’t hurt, they might trust , Deep Dark Fury, and want to cooperate."
"I... we’ll see."
"I’ll return to the nest, I still have to eat the second Dragon Blood Petal..."
Deep Dark Fury flew back to the Dragon Nest, its tail tip lazily swaying, looking quite pleased.
So demons from afar saw a human and a dragon chatting seemingly happily, completely giving up on targeting Zhou Leng.
Zhou Leng headed to where the Ice Snow Divine Sect people were, scanning the demons and noticing a missing Red Dragon who had raised objections at Monster Snake Mountain’s peak.
"Where did the Red Dragon I asked you to watch over go?" Zhou Leng asked.
Snow Mountain Rock pointed in a direction and said, "He went in that direction early in the morning, probably to kill other Trial Takers and search for treasures."
"I also need so growth experience, I’ll venture out for a while. If Deep Dark Fury looks for , tell him I’ll be back in a few days."
"Yes."
Zhou Leng sprinted in the direction the Red Dragon left.
The demons watched Zhou Leng’s back.
"Can the Lord kill that Red Dragon?"
"If he can find it, he can surely kill it."
"Do you think Lord Guan Canglong is on the youth rankings?"
"If you want to die, keep guessing."
The crowd fell silent, each of them looking toward the highest mountain, comparing human martial artists in the top hundred of the youth rankings in their minds.
Zhou Leng looked everywhere but couldn’t find the Red Dragon.
He opened the map, took a look, and ran toward the Human Race camp, removing his artist mask along the way.
In a safe place, he looked toward the highest mountain, quickly glanced at the youth rankings.
When they first entered, there were over five thousand people, now, just over four thousand remain.
Zhang Xinglie and Elder Song’s rankings shot up like rockets, both breaking into the top hundred.
Seven Ancient River Sect disciples made it into the top two hundred.
The top four hadn’t changed, first was Deep Dark Fury, second was Wind of Grey Steel, third was Mountain Armor, fourth was Barbarian Star Axe.
Zhou Leng chose a Hundred Peaks Valley dicinal Fruit to eat, utilizing qi to digest its power while running.
Upon reaching the Human Race camp once again, Zhou Leng swept his eyes over it, seeing no increase in numbers but a batch of fresh faces.
Entering the camp, connecting to the group network, imdiately so shared information appeared.
Li Yuanhe was still there.
"Third Brother, aren’t you planning to search for treasures?"
Li Yuanhe said, "I considered it. Although my strength is decent, my ranking is just around a thousand, the gain from going out isn’t substantial. It’s better to stay here, first to cultivate basic skills, second to teach martial arts to fellow sect mbers, third to act as an information relay station."
Zhou Leng nodded.
