Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

After Fang Yue carefully put away the objects, he continued to move around the city.

He paid attention to every corner where clues might be hidden, and kept thinking about the next course of action.

The demonic aura still permeated the streets, and the demons were busy carrying out their own activities.

Fang Yue walked past one shop after another, brushing shoulders with all kinds of monsters.

Suddenly, he heard a heated argument not far away. Fang Yue's heart moved and he quietly approached the source of the sound.

I saw a group of monsters gathered in front of a stall, seemingly arguing about the price of an item.

Fang Yue looked curiously and saw a stone emitting a strange light on the stall.

Although the light is faint, it gives people a mysterious feeling.

Fang Yue couldn't help but think of the mysterious object he had just obtained, and wondered in his heart whether this stone was also related to ancient magic weapons or mysterious places.

He stood on the outskirts of the crowd, observing quietly.

The arguing monsters each held an opinion, some believed that the stone was priceless, while others thought it was just an ordinary stone.

Fang Yue listened carefully to their argument, trying to get some useful information from it.

At this moment, a tall demon stood up and said loudly:

"I want this stone. Whatever it is, I'm willing to pay a high price for it."

Upon seeing this, the other monsters expressed their dissatisfaction, but they did not dare to confront this tall monster.

Fang Yue looked at this tall monster and found out that he was actually an eagle.

He seemed to have seen this Eagle Clan member on Qingmang Mountain. If he remembered correctly, this monster was following the mysterious Lord.

Fang Yue's heart trembled. If the Eagle Clan was really related to the mysterious Lord, then the matter would probably become even more complicated.

He continued to observe calmly, secretly thinking about how to deal with the situation.

The eagle demon paid the money, picked up the stone, and a barely perceptible smugness flashed in his eyes.

Fang Yue became more and more certain that this stone was no ordinary object and was likely closely related to the ancient magic weapon or mysterious place he was looking for.

The Eagle Clan demon prepared to leave with the stone. Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow quietly.

The eagle demon had no way of detecting Fang Yue's pursuit. He walked steadily through several streets and came to a quiet courtyard.

The Eagle Clan demon pushed open the door and walked in. Fang Yue hid in the shadows not far away, observing the situation in the courtyard.

After a while, low voices of conversation were heard in the courtyard.

Fang Yue circulated his vital energy and listened to the movements in the courtyard.

Through the tightly closed courtyard door, one could faintly hear the unique voice of the Eagle Clan demon clan conversing with another slightly hoarse voice.

"The things that the Lord has instructed us to do must be done as soon as possible. This stone may be the key." There was a hint of urgency in the voice of the Eagle Clan Demon.

"But what is so special about this stone? Why does the Lord value it so much?" another voice asked puzzledly.

The Eagle Clan demon lowered his voice slightly and said: "It is said that this stone is closely related to that mysterious place. Perhaps we can find the key to unlock the mysterious power and help the Lord realize his grand plan."

"So what should we do next?" the hoarse voice asked.

“First keep the stone in safekeeping, and when the time is right, follow the Lord’s instructions and go to Qingmang Mountain to revive the ancient demon general.

However, during this period, be careful of the missing human. This person is very powerful and ordinary demon kings are no match for him. "The tone of the eagle demon was full of vigilance.

"It's okay, he's just a human. It's just an exaggeration. Besides, we're just helping the Lord find something, we're not fighting monsters."

"Hmph, don't take it lightly. The Lord's plan cannot fail, and any potential threats must be treated with caution." The Eagle Clan Demon said seriously.

"I understand. I will be careful. But is that human really that powerful? He can make you so alert." The owner of the hoarse voice still seemed a little disapproving.

The Eagle Clan demon frowned and said, "You have never seen the human's methods, so you naturally don't know how powerful he is. This person is not only powerful, but also thoughtful. If he destroys the Lord's plan, we will not be able to bear the consequences."

"Okay, then let's take good care of this stone and wait for the next instructions from our Lord." The owner of the hoarse voice also became serious.

Then, there was no sound in the yard.

Fang Yue continued to lurk in the shadows, thinking about his next move.

He understood that the situation was becoming more critical and he had to find a way to disrupt the mysterious lord's plan as soon as possible.

Fang Yue frowned, thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He knew that he couldn't act rashly and had to plan carefully.

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the courtyard. Fang Yue immediately became alert and hid his breath again.

The Eagle Clan demons and the owner of the hoarse voice walked out of the yard. They glanced around vigilantly and then walked in another direction.

The Eagle Clan demon and his accomplices walked quickly, seemingly having urgent matters to attend to.

They crossed several streets and came to a more remote place.

There is a run-down building here that looks like an abandoned warehouse.

The Eagle Clan demon and his accomplices walked into the warehouse, while Fang Yue hid in a nearby corner, observing their actions.

He saw them busy moving some things in the warehouse, seemingly preparing for the Lord's plan.

~~~~~~~
At the same time, on the other side of this demon city.

The tiger demon came back and stopped the fox girl.

The tiger demon stared at the fox girl viciously, his eyes full of greed and ferocity.

"Little fox, do you think you can escape by finding a wild demon to help you? You didn't expect that I, the king, would come back again!" the tiger demon threatened.

The fox girl's face was filled with fear, but her eyes revealed stubbornness.

"I won't go with you. Even if I die, I will never hand over the secret treasure to you evil monsters." The fox girl said firmly.

The tiger demon's eyes were wide open as he approached the fox girl step by step.

"Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. You have to leave today, whether you want to or not." The tiger demon said as he reached out to grab the fox girl.

At this moment, a flash of light passed by, and the tiger demon's hand was bounced back. The fox girl looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise.

"You again!" The tiger demon gnashed his teeth and said. It turned out that after Fang Yue rescued the fox girl, he was worried about her safety and left a mark on her body. When the tiger demon appeared again, Fang Yue immediately sensed it and rushed over in time.

Fang Yue looked at the tiger demon coldly.

"I told you not to bully her anymore. It seems you don't learn your lesson." Fang Yue said.

The tiger demon roared, "You are just a wild demon, don't be so arrogant. We were careless last time, you won't be so lucky this time."

However, a barely perceptible panic flashed across the tiger demon's eyes.

Although he spoke tough, he knew in his heart that Fang Yue's strength should not be underestimated.

He had already suffered in the last fight, so he didn't dare to attack Fang Yue this time.

I just don't want to lose face.

After the threat, he dared not stay and turned around and ran away.

The fox girl looked at the tiger demon's receding back, and the tension in her heart eased a little, but she was still scared.

Fang Yue looked at the direction the tiger demon left, thoughtfully.

He knew that the Black Wind King behind the tiger demon would not give up and it would not take long for the tiger demon to fall into the trap.

With the demon clan now frantically searching for him, the only way to hunt down the Great Demon King is to find another way.

And now, his plan was to take advantage of the conflict between the tiger demon and the fox girl to lure out the Black Wind Demon King.

Fang Yue was thinking about the plan in his mind. He turned to look at the fox girl and said softly, "Okay, it's gone. Be careful."

The fox girl looked at Fang Yue, her eyes full of gratitude and worry: "My benefactor, you saved me again. This is the secret treasure my grandfather left for me."

The fox girl held the secret treasure tightly and continued, "I don't know what it does, but my grandfather told me to take good care of it before he died. Now, because of it, I am in such a dangerous situation."

Fang Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and the secret treasure. Since this secret treasure is related to the Black Wind King, it must be very important. We must find out its secret as soon as possible. Perhaps this is the key to solving the current dilemma."

The fox girl nodded, her eyes full of trust: "My benefactor, I believe you. But I really don't know where to learn the secret of the treasure."

Fang Yue looked around and said, "Let's find a safe place to hide first, and then slowly study this secret treasure. The demon city is full of dangers now, and we can't take it lightly."

The two of them carefully moved through the demon city, looking for a place to hide.

They avoided busy streets and areas where demons might be patrolling, and eventually found a secluded courtyard.

After entering this deserted courtyard, Fang Yue carefully checked the surrounding environment and only let the fox girl sit down after making sure there was no danger.

Fang Yue looked at the fox girl and said softly, "Now we have to think of a way to unlock the secret of this treasure."

The fox girl frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "My benefactor, I really can't think of any way to unlock the secret of the treasure. I only know that my grandfather attaches great importance to this treasure, but he didn't tell me the specific use of it."

Fang Yue stood up and took the secret treasure given to him by the fox girl.

This is a bell.

Fang Yue looked carefully at the bell in his hand. The bell exuded an ancient atmosphere and had some strange patterns on its surface, as if telling an ancient story.

He shook the bell gently, but no sound came out, which made him even more curious about the secret of the bell.

"This bell looks ordinary, but it gives people a mysterious feeling." Fang Yue said in a low voice.

The fox girl looked at the bell, her eyes full of confusion: "My benefactor, I don't know why the secret treasure my grandfather left me is a bell that doesn't ring."

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the secret of this bell is not in its sound, but in other aspects. We can take a closer look at its texture and material to see if we can find any clues."

They began to carefully study every detail of the bell.

Fang Yue discovered that the material of the bell did not seem to be ordinary metal, but a material he had never seen before.

The patterns on the bell are also very complex, and seem to contain some kind of mysterious power.

"These lines look like ancient runes, but I don't recognize them." Fang Yue said with a frown.

The fox girl also came over to take a closer look: "My benefactor, I have never seen such patterns before. My grandfather never mentioned it to me either."

Fang Yue fell into deep thought. He knew it was not easy to unlock the secret of the bell.

But he also understood that this bell might be the key to solving his current dilemma, and he had to find a way to figure out its purpose.

"We can't rely on our own strength to solve this secret. Maybe we can look for some demons or wise men who have studied ancient runes to see if they can recognize these patterns." Fang Yue said.

The fox girl nodded and said, "You are right, benefactor. But where can we find such monsters in this monster city? My grandfather did have a few friends when he was alive, but they..."

The fox girl lowered her head slightly, her expression somewhat gloomy: "It's just that I don't know where they went after Grandpa passed away. And even if we find them, we're not sure if they are willing to help us."

Fang Yue gently patted the fox girl's shoulder and consoled her: "Don't be discouraged. We can try to find out the whereabouts of your grandfather's friends. Maybe there will be some clues."

The fox girl raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "My benefactor, where should we start asking?"

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "We can go to some places your grandfather used to go, or ask those monsters that your grandfather had interactions with. Maybe we can find some clues about his friends."

So, the two began to recall the activities of the fox girl's grandfather. The fox girl remembered that her grandfather used to go to an ancient market, where there were many strange items and various monsters.

"My benefactor, we can go to that market and see if we can run into a monster who knows my grandfather's friend." said the fox girl.

Fang Yue nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the market now."

They carefully left the hidden courtyard and headed towards the ancient market. Along the way, they remained vigilant and avoided any possible danger.

When they arrived at the market, they found it was still very lively. Various monsters were selecting items in front of the stalls, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard one after another.

Fang Yue and the fox girl walked around in the market, paying attention to the conversations of the surrounding monsters, hoping to hear news about the fox girl's grandfather's friends.

However, after wandering around for a long time, they did not find any useful clues.

Fang Yue frowned: "It seems unlikely that we can find any clues in this market. Let's think of other ways."

The fox girl was also a little disappointed, but she still said firmly: "My benefactor, we will definitely find a way."

Just as they were about to leave the market, an old demon suddenly called them.

"Are you looking for someone?" asked the old demon. (End of this chapter)
