Chapter 5 Trial Ends

The Four Heavenly Stele Mystic Realm trials concluded, and the people of Xichuan Town returned, their excited cheers rising and falling.

Hu San's voice came from afar, saying he had brought back a great treasure for Zhang Ji.

"Could it be a Legacy Light Sphere?!"

Zhang Ji was excited and full of anticipation.

"Kacha~"

His three heads rubbed against each other, generating electricity. Arcs of electricity flowed throughout his body, like an ancient thunder serpent reviving, taking a bloody wind with silver lightning and leaving the wilderness of the deep sinkhole.

The others around him also excitedly rushed towards the various Heavenly Steles, their faces excited and nervous.

Because they also had relatives or friends who had entered the Heavenly Stele Mystic Realm, and now that the trials had returned, they didn't know if they were alive or dead, and they were very uneasy and afraid.

Liu Youshan frowned, "That dog thing Hu San actually came back alive!"

His tone was joyful, depressed, but also with a hint of regret, very complicated.

His confidant Gao Xin said in a low voice, "Hall Master, it would have been great if Hu Hall Master had died in the mystic realm..."

Liu Youshan turned his head, glared, and scolded, "Shut up, say less of this brainless talk in the future. If that dog thing's spies hear it, they'll think I'm instigating you!"

"Besides, if one Hu San dies, a bunch of Zhang Sans and Li Sans will pop up. Is that useful? What we need to do is do our own jobs well and show Snake Master the value that our Rat Hall should have, instead of just thinking about how to get rid of our enemies!"

Gao Xin bowed his head and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake!"

Liu Youshan's rat-like eyes flickered with cunning, and he pondered:

"The top priorities now are to learn about the situation in the mystic realm from those who have returned alive and learn from their experiences. Secondly, we need to find a way to get Snake Master to transform our bloodline as well, but we need to make contributions to open our mouths. Is the feasibility report for the construction of the Myriad Demon Kingdom ready yet?"

"Not yet..."

"Speed it up and hand it in before dark. Hu San just shouted that he brought back a great treasure for Snake Master. This dog thing has obviously made another great contribution. How is his luck so good? Our Rat Hall can't fall behind!"

After Liu Youshan finished his instructions, he hurriedly went to the Dog Aspect Heavenly Stele, curious about what great treasure Hu San had brought back.

Gao Xin was about to prepare the feasibility report for the Myriad Demon Kingdom when he saw Bei Liu and her second cousin, Long Ma, whispering furtively in the strange mist, their expressions excited.

He waved his hand and led A San and several other Rat Hall gang members to rush forward, blocking the two of them.

"Daoist priest, are you trying to slip away?" Gao Xin asked with a smile, his expression secretly tense, because if the other party really wanted to escape, he definitely couldn't stop them.

Unexpectedly, Bei Liu smiled and said, "What are you saying, Brother Gao? There's food and drink here, and the Snowflake Beer you sent. How could this poor Daoist be willing to leave!"

Second Cousin Long Ma also hurriedly nodded, but her eyes glanced at the huge bones lying across the wilderness in the distance, her heart burning. This was the bone of a thousand-year-old demon, every part of it was a treasure, not to mention that the tail still had a section of demon king bone left uneaten!

That was a good thing, rarely seen even in the Great Wilderness. One appearance would cause a bloodbath.

But here, no one recognized it, no one cared.

Gao Xin heard the two's words, obviously didn't believe it, and said with some suspicion, "Then what are you doing?"

"We've discovered a good thing!" Bei Liu said mysteriously in a low voice. Seeing Gao Xin's confusion, he asked with a smile, "Do you want to evolve a few more times and become stronger?"

Gao Xin hurriedly nodded, "I dream about it!"

He was very honest.

Bei Liu smiled, pointing to the wreckage in the mist as big as a mountain of blood and bones, his eyes burning, "Did you see that? This is the corpse of a thousand-year-old demon. Although most of the flesh and blood was eaten by the great King Cobra Demon King, the remaining shreds of meat are also good things!"

"For a level five beast like you... don't glare at this poor Daoist like that, this poor Daoist doesn't mean to despise you... um, this poor Daoist means that the flesh and blood of a thousand-year-old demon is a great tonic for your current realm."

"If you eat this thing, you can definitely evolve again!"

Gao Xin listened with rapid breathing, his eyes shining, and nodded:

"You're right, you have to eat meat to evolve. Back then, Snake Master swallowed everything in all directions, drank blood, and killed people like flies. That's how he got to where he is today."

"Compared to Snake Master, I'm far behind. Although I've transformed into a beast, my thinking has always remained human. I haven't changed, and I don't have a direct concept of drinking blood and eating meat."

Bei Liu comforted with a smile, "It's not just you. Even among the others, how many people just now thought of coming here to eat the remaining demon king's flesh and blood?"

"If this were in our Great Wilderness, if a demon king fell, everyone would rush up, even fighting to the death for a bite of meat, causing a bloodbath and obscuring the sun and moon, but here, no one comes to eat meat and drink blood!"

"Not a single one!"

Bei Liu's expression was strange, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Even your Rat Hall's Hall Master Liu Youshan only wants your Snake Master to transform his bloodline and become stronger. In fact, true powerhouses become stronger by eating meat and drinking blood. In our Great Wilderness, it's the only law of survival."

"Your Snake Master knows this well, ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty. You should learn more from him!"

"You only know how to complain that your strength is too low and you evolve slowly, but has anyone thought about why you evolve slowly? Why is your strength low? Ask yourself, Brother Gao, how many living things have you swallowed and killed yourself?"

Gao Xin was shaken by Bei Liu's words, feeling ashamed.

Because he hasn't swallowed and killed a single living thing, and most of the time he lives on pickled cabbage and instant noodles.

Bei Liu watched Gao Xin lower his head and think deeply, his eyes rolling, and said, "Brother Gao, this poor Daoist feels like we've known each other for a long time, so this poor Daoist is telling you the laws of survival. This poor Daoist is too lazy to tell others."

Gao Xin said with emotion, "Thank you, Daoist priest, I understand!"

"Understand what?"

"If you want to evolve, you have to eat meat and drink blood, and change your habit of eating instant noodles!"

"No, what I mean is, if you can win by lying down, why work so hard? First, you have to hold on to your Snake Master's thick thighs, and then follow him to eat meat and drink blood. Just imagine, if Snake Master hadn't killed this thousand-year-old demon, with your strength, could you have eaten the demon king's flesh and blood?"

Bei Liu asked in return.

Gao Xin shook his head.

Bei Liu stroked his beard and smiled, "Remember one sentence, when your strength is insufficient and you have no hope of surviving alone, only by relying on a stronger person can you become stronger, and your Snake Master is the object you can rely on, and also the hope for you to win by lying down in the future!"

"The hope of winning by lying down?!... I like winning by lying down!"

Gao Xin's body shook, deeply touched. He suddenly understood why Hall Master Liu Youshan would rather chop off his own root of troubles to follow Snake Master and be Snake Master's man, and also understood why Hu San would rather lock his sister in a cowshed to produce milk to show his loyalty to Snake Master.

So, these guys all want to win by lying down!

They want to follow Snake Master and become strong by lying down!
