Hell Emperor

Chapter 321 Shura Jie - The Great Demon Protector of the Palace

As the knots on his body were untied, the Earth Dragon King returned to his former gentleness and peace.

It slowly rotated around Ye Jie with a very affectionate attitude. Although he was speechless, Ye Jie could feel the deep gratitude on his body.

"Interesting... It seems that this Earth Dragon King is indeed a quite gentle monster as Shan Yao said."

Ye Jie smiled faintly. Anyone who has seen the Earth Dragon King's frenzied struggle, causing mountains to collapse and the earth trembling to tremble, would definitely not be able to associate this monster with the word gentle.

At this time, one end of the Earth Dragon King's body suddenly rose and dived, while the other head remained beside Ye Jie, who had transformed into a dragon.

Although the Earth Dragon King is huge, it controls its own power perfectly when moving. Except for the creaking sound when digging the soil, it does not cause much shock.

Not long after, the body of the Earth Dragon King swelled up in circles, as if something was moving and being transported inside the body, and its head left on the ground also opened its mouth, and suddenly spit out large chunks of food from its huge mouth with spiraling saw-toothed fangs. Large pieces of gold piled up into a hill in an instant.

The Earth Dragon King raised the gold with his head and pushed it to Ye Jie like a treasure.

"Do you want me to accept the gold as a thank you gift? Unfortunately, gold is not used in Hades, where Yin De is used."

Looking at the Earth Dragon King who was trying to please him, Ye Jie also understood what it meant.

As a monster that lives underground all year round, Earth Dragon has a good understanding of the mineral deposits buried deep under the earth.

Whether it is spiritual veins rich in spiritual stones, gold mines storing gold, or other rare mineral veins, they cannot escape the exploration of the earth dragon.

When it comes to the ability to detect spiritual veins, even Earth Immortals who have achieved Zhengguo cannot match the racial advantages of Earth Dragons. As monsters, Earth Dragons are quite sensitive to this, let alone those whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary Earth Dragons. The Earth Dragon King.

The gold spit out by the Earth Dragon King may be from which gold mine it dug out.

Ye Jie waved his hand, intending to refuse, but the Earth Dragon King immediately lowered his head, looking unhappy.

Seeing this, Ye Jie had no choice but to accept the gold.

With a thought in his mind, Ye Jie communicated with the Hades Formation in the Golden Wheel Palace. The gold was immediately drawn by the formation and moved to the Hades.

It was not until Ye Jie accepted the gold that the Earth Dragon King was satisfied and started spinning around Ye Jie again.

Seeing that the Earth Dragon King was so understanding of human nature, Ye Jie found it interesting. He glanced at the knotted middle part of the Earth Dragon King's body and couldn't help but feel a little curious:

"Speaking of which...how did you tie your body into knots? It is very difficult for ordinary monsters to do this. You have become a monster king, so how can you be so careless?"

Hearing Ye Jie ask about this, the Earth Dragon King let out a cry, and at the same time, bursts of messages came from Ye Jie's mind.

After carefully sensing the message, Ye Jie also understood the problem.

It turned out that not long ago, the Earth Dragon King, who was basking in the sun, suddenly felt a breath of natural enemies that made his heart palpitate. The smell was so strong that it made him tremble, as if he had seen countless dehydrated earthworms being completely dried. Refining.

Both of the Earth Dragon King's heads were frightened. When escaping, it panicked and twisted its body into a ball. When it was discovered, knots had formed. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not untie the knots.

Even when he felt Ye Jie approaching, the Earth Dragon King thought it was a natural enemy coming to refine it, so he launched a fierce attack on Ye Jie.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Ye Jie laughed dumbly: "Fortunately you met me, otherwise, others would really not be able to untie the knot on your body..."

Seeing the Earth Dragon King's thick waist that needed to be hugged by a hundred people, Ye Jie twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't know how powerful the enemy must be to scare the Earth Dragon King into such a state. Even his body was tied up in knots. Legend has it that If you go out, you will probably make other demon kings laugh for a long time.

At this moment, the message from the Earth Dragon King sounded in Ye Jie's mind again.

"...You want me to protect you?"

Ye Jie was surprised and confirmed to the Earth Dragon King.

The Earth Dragon King raised his fang-covered mouth and nodded his head humanely, confirming Ye Jie's question.

The arrival of natural enemies obviously frightened the Earth Dragon King so much that he did not dare to stay here any longer.

Seeing that Ye Jie's strength far surpassed his own, and the kindness of untying the knots in his body, the Earth Dragon King was willing to surrender to Ye Jie and regard Ye Jie as his master, in exchange for Ye Jie's protection and avoid being harmed by natural enemies.

Ye Jie thought for a while and quickly made a decision: "Speaking of which, in the Hades building, there is also a fence specially set up for breeding earth dragons. If you are willing to accept me as your master, you can be a guardian in the Golden Wheel Hall from now on." The demon is ready."

The Earth Dragon King was overjoyed, and his two heads danced together. His unabashed and heartfelt joy seemed to have infected Ye Jie. Ye Jie took out the seven-sided sewing page, and as he thought, the sewing page soon became Several rows of new text appeared.

[Lack of steel frames makes it impossible to build a ground dragon fence. 】

Ye Jie twitched the corner of his mouth. No matter what building he wanted to build, it would be difficult to build due to the lack of steel frames, so he had to say:

"Sorry, this Earth Dragon Fence needs steel frames to be built. Jinlun Palace currently lacks steel frames and cannot build it. I have to suffer you for a while."

To Ye Jie's surprise, after hearing his words, the Earth Dragon King was not too depressed. Instead, he looked eager to try, as if he wanted to solve Ye Jie's problems.

"Wait a minute... with the ability of the Earth Dragon King, maybe..."

Ye Jie seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

At this time, the head behind the Earth Dragon King burrowed into the ground again, and soon, as if it had just spit out gold, a large amount of dark, hard black stones were spit out from the other head left on the ground.

Ye Jie picked up one of the black stones, rubbed it in his palm, and soon had the answer: "Is this... iron ore? With the ability of the Earth Dragon King to find mineral veins, he can easily find unmined iron ore. We have enough ore to smelt iron and use it to build buildings on earth. Unfortunately, the buildings in Hades cannot use iron ore and must use bone materials..."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie looked at the Earth Dragon King expectantly: "Can you find the bones of those dead creatures from deep underground?"

The Earth Dragon King did what he said. The head left on the ground opened its mouth wide and spat out a large number of bones. Human bones only accounted for a very small part of them. Most of them were weird-looking, non-human-shaped bones. Among them, there were bones from several species of creatures. Skeletons, Ye Jie had never even seen.

Seeing that the Dragon King had such a special ability, he could absorb all the things buried underground to the surface. Ye Jie also looked at it as if he had found a treasure.

Under the earth, there are countless skeletons of creatures buried, some of them buried so deep that not even the Bone Burial Ghosts can dig them out, but can only let them lie quietly deep underground.

For the Earth Dragon King, who regards the earth as his home, the bones buried deep underground cannot escape its perception at all. It stays in the ground with one head and violently inhales it, while the other head spits out the bones on the ground, which can be given to Ye Jie. Bring an endless supply of bone fragments.

With this inexhaustible supply of bone fragments as a supplement, the Fiery Oil Cauldron can also produce massive steel bones. As long as the Earth Dragon King finds 10 million kilograms of bone fragments and smelts them into steel bones, he can collect them all to build a building. Ground dragon fence materials.

"Ten million kilograms...I need this amount of bones."

Ye Jie informed the Earth Dragon King of his needs. Instead of being frightened by the huge amount, the Earth Dragon King was very motivated. He kept spitting out a large number of bone fragments from his mouth, and soon he piled up a mountain of bones around him.

Ye Jie nodded with satisfaction. Before he gathered all his resentment and built a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones to automatically collect bone fragments, the arrival of the Earth Dragon King could be said to have greatly increased the number of bone fragments in the Golden Wheel Palace.

Just as the Earth Dragon King was peacefully searching for the bone fragments, Ye Jie suddenly felt something. He turned slightly sideways and said, "Come out."

As if to verify what Ye Jie said, from behind, Yam Yao walked out with a surprised look on his face.

Seeing the yam coming, Ye Jie frowned: "Didn't I ask you to seduce your soul? Why did you leave your post without permission?"

As he said this, Ye Jie's eyes also showed a bit more scrutiny. If the yam was of no use and turned a deaf ear to his words, I'm afraid he would have to find a new ghost.

Yam Yao glared at Ye Jie: "Who said I left my post without permission? In accordance with your request, I led out the souls of the villagers one by one, and then explained the situation to them clearly. After they accepted the status quo, they all went to the Golden Wheel Hall to wait for you. Didn't you say that Jinlun Palace is short of people? They also want to find a job in the palace."

Ye Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yam Yao to complete his instructions so quickly. Sure enough, it was easier to convince the dead if he was from the same village. If it were Ye Jie himself, the effect would not be so good.

With the addition of these village souls, the problem of manpower shortage in the palace can be solved. If the Golden Wheel Palace wants to prosper, it can be regarded as the most basic and crucial first step.

Shan Yao stood on tiptoe and said: "Under the mutual guidance of the villagers' souls, I didn't miss any remains and found the souls of all the deceased. Although there were still some remains buried deep in the ruins, unable to attract the souls. , but I have done everything I can.”

Ye Jie nodded: "You did a good job, but why do you come here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me where you are?"

Yayao puffed up his mouth: "I was afraid that you would be defeated by the crazy Earth Dragon King and be killed by him, so I came here to take a look... Now I see that you don't need my help at all to restore the Earth Dragon King to his original state... …”

Hearing what she said, Ye Jie became even more helpless: "If even I can't defeat the Earth Dragon King, what can you do if you come here? Wouldn't your soul disappear faster?"

Yam Yao stamped his feet and ignored Ye Jie.

"Forget it, just complete the task." Ye Jie said slowly.

At this time, Yao quickly stepped forward, stopped in front of Ye Jie, and opened his palms to him.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Jie was stunned. There was nothing in her palm. What was she doing?

Yam Yao glared: "Where is the reward for my moral virtue? I have completed your mission, now it is your turn to give me your moral virtue!"

Now Ye Jie finally understood what she meant and said, "Yin De is something that cannot be seen or touched. I can't take out Yin De and put it in your hand."

Yam Yao was stunned: "Then how are you going to give me Yin De?"

Ye Jie explained: "Although Yin De is invisible, the Yin De of each person, or every ghost, is clearly recorded in the Book of Life and Death. Only through the remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death can we see the number of Yin De in oneself."

"Okay..." Ye Jie's words gave Yayao no room to refute at all. She could only accept everything Ye Jie said and asked, "Where is the broken page?"

"Well..."

Ye Jie coughed dryly. Although he became the master of Jinlun Palace, the main tent of Jinlun Palace was not in his hands, but was firmly controlled by the master of Maruo Palace.

Without the main account in hand, Ye Jie could not ask the ghost servants to tear off a page from the main account and use it as the remaining pages of his life and death book like other Lords of Yama Hall.

Now, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when asked by Shan Yao.

Although Lord Mo Luo made him the Lord of the Golden Wheel Hall, he did not give him the most important account of the Golden Wheel Hall.

Judging from the past owners of the Yama Hall, how much they valued the main tent in the hall, the main tent is an important cornerstone for maintaining the normal operation of the Yama Hall. Even without the main tent, the Yama Hall would exist in name only.

Unable to get the remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death, Ye Jie also realized the inconvenience caused by the lack of the main account. If this continues, no matter how many ghosts are recruited, it will be difficult for the Yama Palace to operate normally.

Seeing that Yam Yao still looked reluctant, Ye Jie had no choice but to say: "Currently, I am the only one who can see the changes in the moral character of each ghost. Other ghosts cannot see this for the time being."

Yayao curled her lips, with a bit of disgust in her eyes. Seeing how unreliable Ye Jie was as the master of the palace, she began to doubt whether joining the so-called Golden Wheel Palace was a suitable idea.

"But...since you have succeeded in attracting souls this time, you can be considered a hundred virtuous people." Ye Jie glanced at her and said.

"Only one hundred Yin virtues?" When he heard that there was only one hundred Yin virtues as reward, the yam immediately stopped drying. "I have seduced so many souls that I am almost exhausted. How can I only have one hundred Yin virtues?"

Ye Jie shrugged. According to his understanding of the Yama Palace, being able to get a hundred Yin De as reward for such things as seducing souls is already a sign of mercy from the palace master.

More often than not, there is no moral reward at all for such tasks. They are all ghost missionaries who spontaneously go to seduce the souls in order to obtain the moral virtues from the wandering souls.

"Then how much virtue do you want? In other words, how much virtue do you think is appropriate?"

Ye Jie spoke slowly and gave the choice to Yayao himself, wanting to see how she chose.

Ye Jie originally thought that Shan Yao would definitely seize this opportunity and ask for a thousand or even ten thousand Yin De, but Shan Yao hesitated at this moment. She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice for a long time before speaking:

"In my opinion, this requires one hundred and two... no, it requires one hundred and thirty Yin De!"

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched, and Yao hesitated for a long time. In the end, he only added thirty Yin De, which really made him not know what to say.

"Okay, I'll do as you said. The master of the palace keeps accounts. The ghost sent the yam to attract the soul, and he will be rewarded with one hundred and thirty yin virtues." Ye Jie slowly opened his mouth and wrote a note for the yam on the seven-sided stitched page. Pen.
