Chapitre 154: Chapter 154: The World in the Shadows, the Head of Qingtian Hunting House
After returning to Anjie, Lingling informed the Hunter Alliance and the Magic Association of the news.
The two major forces sent out their top masters, determined to kill the monarch-level Blood Soul Banyan Demon!
There are monarch-level monsters hidden in places close to Anjie but they have not been eradicated. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of official forces.
When the official strongmen found the devastated battlefield.
Following the traces of the Blood Soul Banyan Demon's escape, they found the Blood Soul Banyan Demon a few kilometers away.
The thousand-meter-tall Blood Soul Banyan Demon shocked everyone.
But the strange thing is that its thousand-meter-long body collapsed in the forest without a trace of life.
...…
In an apartment building in Magic City.
Zhang Chenran sat cross-legged on the sofa, his consciousness entering the shadow world.
"Hehehe, King!" The Shadow Clan elder laughed strangely and presented the spoils of this trip with both hands.
In addition to the soul of the Blood Soul Banyan Demon, there is also a seed emitting light green light.
The seeds are not big, about the size of a thumb, but they contain very strong vitality.
"The seeds of the Blood Soul Banyan Demon?" Zhang Chenran held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
At this time, Manjushage floated over and whispered,
"King, the blood soul banyan demon's bloodline is not low. If this seed grows up, its strength should not be weaker than it."
"This seed can grow to monarch level"
Zhang Chenran was not too surprised. The vitality contained in this seed was extremely strong, even surpassing some slave-level monsters.
But he is not a plant mage, so this seed is of little use to him.
I should be able to make a lot of money if I auction it, Zhang Chenran couldn't help but think.
If a plant demon species with monarch-level bloodline appeared at an auction, I'm afraid all the major families in the Demon City would rush to bid for it.
Putting away the seeds, Zhang Chenran looked at Manjushage and said with a smile:
"Manjushage, what is the extent to which the seeds you were born can grow?"
Manjushage naturally understood what he meant, but her beautiful eyes were full of disappointment as she said:
"King, have you forgotten? We dark creatures do not have the ability to reproduce."
Not able to reproduce. Zhang Chenran was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly:
"I had forgotten that."
"Hey where is this?"
A lifeless voice echoed in the endless darkness, and more than ten thousand pupils looked around in confusion.
Zhang Chenran couldn't help but look away and said quickly:
"Close your eyes!"
"oh"
The Blood Soul Banyan Demon closed most of his eyes, leaving only the dark red eyes of his ghost face open.
Those dark red eyes brought infinite fear to people. Even if they glanced at them unintentionally, the seeds of fear would be quietly planted in their hearts.
However, it doesn't work very well against mages with strong mental power.
If you look closely, you can see the fatigue and sleepiness hidden in those dark red eyes.
Why does this guy look so unmotivated? Zhang Chenran said unhappily:
"It took me several minutes to shape your body. Do you know how much magic energy I consumed?"
Plant-based monsters already have strong vitality. In order to create a thousand-meter-long body for the Blood Soul Banyan Monster, it is not just the appearance of the tree trunk, but also the vitality it contains!
Now, the Blood Soul Banyan Demon no longer needs to absorb the breath of life, but needs a very abundant dark energy.
"sorry"
There wasn't much apology in the Blood Soul Banyan Demon's tone, but he did sound quite sleepy.
"Is this guy really the monarch?" Zhang Chenran looked at the huge tree trunk with puzzled eyes.
It was the first time he saw a monarch who looked so lifeless and without any fierceness, as if he would fall asleep at the next second.
"My king, to be honest, it admitted defeat before I even started the battle with it, and offered its seeds voluntarily."
The Shadow Clan elder began to explain, looking at the Blood Soul Banyan Demon with contempt, a guy who had no dignity of a monarch at all!
Zhang Chenran pondered for a while and asked:
"How many years have you been sleeping in the temple?"
"I can't remember. Uh, in human terms, several hundred years, right?"
After hundreds of years, no wonder I can't detect a single breath. I'm afraid you have merged with the temple. Zhang Chenran silently complained and continued to ask:
"If I'm not mistaken, it was you who hypnotized the client to issue a commission to Qingtian Hunter, right?"
"He came to the temple with his companions. I ate his companions and tricked him into returning to human territory, leading other humans to find me."
"The story is so realistic that even I am wondering if there is something wrong with my perception."
"It's not a story. It's something he experienced personally, but it was in a fantasy. I'm just narrating it truthfully."
"."
Hearing this, Zhang Chenran stopped asking questions and all his doubts were resolved.
But as a monarch-level creature, he was puzzled by the Blood Soul Banyan Demon's mentality of giving up.
"You have no objection if I sell your seeds, right?" Zhang Chenran asked tentatively.
The seeds presented by the Blood Soul Banyan Demon can be confirmed to be its first offshoot, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a strong breath of life.
The first ramet is very important to the plant monster, because the ramet's bloodline purity is extremely high, and may even exceed that of the plant monster itself!
If the news of the Blood Soul Banyan Demon's seed was released, it would definitely trigger a fight among all the major forces!
The value of a seed with a monarch-level bloodline is inestimable. He has no plans to auction it for the time being.
Just as he thought, the Blood Soul Banyan Demon seemed to shake its trunk, and said sleepily:
"casual."
You are hopeless. Zhang Chenran ignored it and said,
"Just sleep here. I'll call you if there's anything."
"Thank you, King"
As the Blood Soul Banyan Tree spoke, it closed its eyes and began to absorb the dark energy.
I don't know if it's my illusion, but this dark energy is even more delicious than human souls and flesh and blood.
...…
The shadow world, the dark place beyond.
A huge stone platform is suspended in the boundless darkness, with no end in sight.
If he was not the one who dominated this darkness, Zhang Chenran would have thought that some unknown creature was building its own territory here.
"When did you find it?" Zhang Chenran asked.
"Just yesterday, I wanted to inform the king directly, but seeing that the king had important matters to attend to, I did not inform him in time." The Shadow Clan elder explained.
Zhang Chenran nodded slightly and continued to fly forward.
After flying for about a hundred kilometers, all I saw was the bumpy ground, with almost no intact place.
This huge stone platform looks like an ancient battlefield, and it has become like this after experiencing countless wars.
Finally, something different appeared ahead.
It was a magnificent palace!
In front of the palace, there is a statue full of ferocious aura.
The statue was in the shape of a tiger's wings, lazily crawling on the ground, with its ferocious eyes slightly raised, its endless murderous intent undisguised!
"So ugly." Zhang Chenran couldn't help but complain.
Buzz!
The pendant on his chest became restless with anger, but Zhang Chenran ignored it and flashed to the palace gate.
Gently push open the palace door, the space inside is very large, especially the throne at the deepest part, which is the size of several football fields!
Such a small place, can it fit? Zhang Chenran frowned more and more as he looked at it, and couldn't help asking:
"Are the soldiers who designed this palace still here?"
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I am one of the designers of the palace back then." The Shadow Clan elder smiled embarrassedly.
"Well done, don't do it next time." Zhang Chenran patted his shoulder, and then looked at Jiuyou:
"Tear it all down, and you design it."
Queen Jiuyou understood what he meant, "Okay!"
"Rebuild?" The Shadow Clan elder was stunned. "King, it seems that the palace doesn't have that much material left."
"There are some in the tomb palace in the Shayuan."
"."
"King, where is that thing?" Queen Jiuyou pointed at the tiger wing statue in front of the palace.
"Don't touch it. I'll move all the soldiers here and try to complete the reconstruction within three days." Zhang Chenran said.
"Three days? It's a big project, can it be completed?" The Shadow Clan elder muttered softly.
"Discard your anti-human ideas! According to the king's idea and with the help of the soldiers, it can be completed in two days." Queen Jiuyou said.
The Shadow Clan elder was about to retort, but when he recalled the king's disgusted look when he saw the throne in the palace just now, he swallowed his words.
"You speak as if you are a human." The Shadow Clan elder left this sentence and floated away dejectedly.
There were no luxurious buildings around the palace, only some training grounds that looked like those of ancient human soldiers.
However, this training ground is many times larger than that of a human mage.
"Did you design this thing too?" Zhang Chenran asked again.
The Shadow Clan elder looked embarrassed and explained,
"Referring to the training methods of humans, I and several elders of the same level have designed a similar venue, which looks like this."
Zhang Chenran sighed deeply, finally understanding why this guy liked to condense the power of darkness into the form of human cold weapons.
"Wang, do you want to tear it down?" the Shadow Clan elder asked cautiously.
"Keep it."
Zhang Chenran looked elsewhere.
Except for the palace with a very abstract design, all other designs are related to battle.
The Shadow Clan soldiers can effectively improve their combat capabilities in these places.
Zhang Chenran thought that he would have time to improve the territory later and expand it one by one.
He doesn't have that much time to control this shadow world now, but with the help of Queen Jiuyou, he can save a lot of trouble.
...…
Consciousness leaves the shadow world.
As soon as Zhang Chenran opened his eyes, he saw the Fire Witch sitting beside him and asked,
"When did you come back?"
"I just arrived a short while ago, and I saw that you were conscious in the shadow, so I didn't wake you up."
The Fire Witch spoke in a soft tone, and in a trance one could even hear the sound of bells when she was in the elemental body, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Zhang Chenran nodded, his tone a little unnatural:
"How was the explanation to her?"
"What do you think?" The Fire Witch's face was full of resentment and grievance, "Next time you go by yourself!"
Lingling's IQ is not that of a three-year-old child, so I would be even less credible if I went. Zhang Chenran reached out and gently hugged her waist:
"My fault, my fault."
"You, don't do this, I don't blame you." The Fire Witch gently pressed against his chest, showing some resistance.
"It's not like I haven't hugged you before, so why can't you accept me?" Zhang Chenran sighed.
Seeing his expression, the Fire Witch quickly waved her hands and explained:
"I know how good you are to me, but... do you really not mind?"
Her expression was complicated when she said this.
"You are the Fire Witch and a member of the Shadow Royal Family. I never mind your previous identity. I care more about whether you are willing to accept your current identity." Zhang Chenran said sincerely.
The Fire Witch kept her eyes downcast and was silent for a long time. Her eyes trembled slightly, and it seemed as if something in her heart had melted.
After a long while, she slowly said,
"Compared to the loneliness in the north corner of Burning Plain, I am very happy now, but I think you don't have to be so mean to me. Can we take it slow?"
Is it still hard to accept for a while? Zhang Chenran nodded, but did not refuse:
"Listen to you."
The Fire Witch smiled sweetly, and then slowly leaned into his arms.
This was the first time she was so proactive. Zhang Chenran hugged her gently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
...…
The next day, Qingtian Hunting Ground.
The hunting ground was as quiet as usual, with the occasional sound of keyboard typing and mouse clicking coming from behind the bar.
A figure slowly walked into the hunting lodge, made himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the bar.
Seeing him coming, Lingling said, "Six million has been deposited into your card."
"I know."
Zhang Chenran asked, "Is there any follow-up to the Blood Soul Banyan Demon incident?"
Lingling frowned:
"After the body of the Blood-Soul Banyan Demon was found several kilometers away from the temple, there was no further follow-up.
In addition, the client died, and he died before we returned to Anjie!"
"Then my guess is correct. The client was probably bewitched by the Blood Soul Banyan Demon to come to Anjie, and then issued a commission to the hunting house. In addition to us, he probably also issued commissions to other hunting houses." Zhang Chenran said.
"Well, our Qingtian Hunting Station was the third one he issued a commission to. The hunters who went to investigate from the previous two hunting stations were both dead, and they died the day before we went to the temple!"
Lingling thought of something and continued:
"There's one thing I don't understand. Why would the Bloodsoul Banyan Demon suddenly order us to leave the temple? Is there something that it's afraid of?"
As she spoke, she looked straight at Zhang Chenran.
I hate being friends with smart people. Zhang Chenran asked her with a puzzled look:
"Make it afraid? What can make a monarch-level demon afraid?"
"If a monarch is afraid of something, its strength must be at least on the same level as it, right?"
An old voice came from the attic on the second floor, followed by an old man walking down.
"Haha, my last name is Bao, you can just call me Old Man Bao." The old man introduced himself.
Surname Bao, Qingtian Hunting House, Bao Qingtian? Zhang Chenran guessed in his heart, looking up and down at the old man, and he was actually a little confused about the other party.
Clearly the aura was that of an ordinary person, yet it made his dark matter inexplicably alert.
None of the strong men he had met before had ever made him feel this way.
"Grandpa, do you know something?" Lingling couldn't help but ask.
Old Bao waved his hand.
"It's just judging by the normal situation. But after you left, it didn't choose to chase you, but ran away. Maybe there is a big monster nearby that is always watching it."
"Don't the senior brothers have connections there? They should know something, right?" Lingling still didn't give up and continued to ask.
Old Man Bao laughed and said,
"Isn't this just the news?"
