#179 - The demon general takes action! Meet Jin Hong again next to the teleportation array!
“Xu Chengxian!”
“Run!”
“Huh?”
Telling me to run?
It's Lingxiao's voice.
Bang!
The moment he escaped.
A cyan-black hand, formed from demonic power, landed precisely where he had been standing.
“That was close!” Xu Chengxian's heart skipped a beat.
Such powerful demonic energy!
The opponent's cultivation is definitely more than just a Great Demon!
Fortunately, he had never doubted Lingxiao's judgment.
And that's how he barely managed to evade that attack.
Since Lingxiao's divine sense transmission was abrupt and only told him to run quickly, without another word, it showed how formidable she judged the enemy to be.
“If I had been even a little slower, I definitely wouldn't have escaped!”
At this moment, Xu Chengxian and Lingxiao reached the same conclusion.
Moreover, he was quite certain that if he fought the opponent, he wouldn't have any chance of winning.
Because the opponent was a Demon General!
Their strength was even above that of General Yu!
Mid-stage Demon General?
Or late-stage Demon General?
It couldn't be peak Demon General, could it?
Sensing that the opponent was a Demon General, Xu Chengxian put even more effort into his full-speed escape.
Especially sensing a divine sense rapidly sweeping towards him.
“Damn it!”
Xu Chengxian cursed.
The Heaven Mending Pill within him hadn't been fully refined yet, and he didn't want to expend too much blood energy fighting a Demon General.
Besides, this battle wouldn't bring him any benefits.
“Lingxiao!”
Just as he was about to rush out of the tomb passage, he saw Lingxiao also burst out.
“Where's Yunzi?”
“Here!”
Ling Yunzi flew over, tossing a pill towards the passage.
“Let's go!”
The three of them flew out of the tomb.
Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi, one in front and one behind, controlled the demon cloud, carrying Xu Chengxian, instantly fleeing hundreds of meters away.
“Damn it!”
“What's the situation with that Demon General?”
“Why did they attack us?”
Sensing that the enemy wasn't pursuing, Xu Chengxian breathed a sigh of relief.
“I don't know.”
Lingxiao's aura was somewhat unstable, but she wasn't injured.
She steadied her mind and frowned, saying, “This Demon General is very strange.”
“After seeing me, they immediately attacked, seemingly wanting to capture me.”
“There's hostility on this person, but no killing intent.” Ling Yunzi also said, “It's very strange indeed.”
If the Demon General had murderous intentions towards them, there was no way they could have escaped so easily.
Moreover, the opponent didn't restrain their aura, nor did they use any killing moves.
The intention of the attack was more like driving them away than capturing them.
“Want to chase us away and search the True Dragon Tomb themselves?” Xu Chengxian guessed.
“That's definitely possible.” Lingxiao said.
“...Then they might be disappointed.”
“Hmm?”
“The last two dragon eggs inside, 0.001 seconds before they appeared, were already swallowed by me!” Xu Chengxian said excitedly.
Fortunately, he was quick enough!
“…Weren't you just entering?”
“Yeah! When I saw the dragon eggs, how could I care about anything else? I pounced and just stuffed them away!”
“…”
“Hey? Speaking of which, why do I feel that the aura of that Demon General just now is a bit familiar?”
Had he seen them somewhere before?
“The opponent brushed past us twice,” Lingxiao twitched her lips, “When we came out.”
“…Oh~.”
The three of them fell silent.
Then, Ling Yunzi said, “How about we change direction?”
If they continued searching in this direction, they might encounter that Great Demon again, and the opponent might act out of anger and develop murderous intentions.
Or rather, intentions to rob and kill.
So, the three of them silently changed direction and continued forward.
…
A moment later.
The Demon General, who had driven away Xu Chengxian and the others, walked out of the tomb chamber with a dark face.
Muttering under their breath, they said, “Damn it! I was still one step too late!”
These three water-avoiding snakes are really quick!
Not to mention the dragon eggs, even the dragon egg nest where the dragon eggs were placed was taken away by them!
“Are they that desperate?”
Tens of thousands of pounds of stuff, and it's not even useful, they still want to take it away?
Then, on second thought, these three demons are greedy and insatiable, even wanting the python-coiled pillar, so taking the dragon egg nest also doesn't seem that incomprehensible.
“Damn it!”
“Fortunately, there's still some time before the teleportation array opens.”
“If I can't find them again, I'll just have to guard the teleportation array.”
They didn't know that Xu Chengxian had taken away two more dragon eggs, let alone whether they had any dragon eggs on hand.
Moreover, it would be more difficult to rob three Great Demons in one place than to rob one Great Demon.
To them, with the cultivation of a Demon General, they weren't worried about being unable to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
The attack just now was just out of a momentary displeasure.
Driving away the three juniors could be considered venting their anger.
So, they didn't waste effort chasing after them.
Instead, they turned around and continued searching for tombs.
“But if I encounter them again, this General wouldn't mind robbing them along the way!”
…
Xu Chengxian and the others didn't know that they had escaped a robbery from the Demon General by changing direction.
But even if they knew, there was nothing to celebrate.
Because they would soon encounter even bigger trouble.
Near the teleportation array.
More than a month had passed since the opening of the Emperor's Tomb.
According to past situations, the teleportation array to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm would open within one to three months after the opening of the Emperor's Tomb.
In other words, the teleportation array could open at any time in the coming days.
So, after Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi discussed it, with Xu Chengxian's tacit approval, the direction the three of them changed was directly towards the teleportation array, circling around.
And within three days, they reached the vicinity of the teleportation array.
During this period, they didn't deliberately search for tombs, but if they encountered any along the way, they would go in and try their luck.
Their luck was neither good nor bad.
They didn't find any more dragon eggs, but they still found a lot of things with True Dragon aura.
After all, other demons didn't want these things.
So, they all benefited Xu Chengxian.
They also collected some spiritual materials.
“They haven't even grown up yet, it would be great if they could be taken out and planted.”
Seeing Ling Yunzi directly digging out and processing the spiritual plants, he said with some regret.
“They won't survive if planted.”
Lingxiao had already become very accepting of Xu Chengxian's idea of wanting to plant everything, and even, together with Ling Yunzi, developed the habit of saving seeds.
So, after hearing this, she explained, saying, “The spiritual plants within the Emperor's Tomb have already adapted to the spiritual energy and mist here, and live by it.”
They can't survive outside.
“Therefore, some spiritual plants can only be found here.” Ling Yunzi said.
Although the grade of spiritual plants here isn't considered very good.
But they are all rare items.
Those that exist with the aura of True Dragon bloodline, and are even more precious, have to be found in the Secret Realm.
This is also his biggest goal in coming.
“It seems that this Emperor's Tomb won't be opened many more times.” A voice said.
The three of them were startled at the same time.
They were communicating with divine sense, no one was speaking.
This voice wasn't any of them.
But a somewhat effeminate man's voice.
“This General has worked so hard for so long, but couldn't find a single dragon egg.” That voice said again.
Then, another man's voice said, “It's Jin Hong's fault, for not being able to help General Si.”
