Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

The battle ended quickly.

Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi went back the way they came and found Cat Nineteen still waiting in the same spot.

Seeing them return so quickly, the little demon was very surprised: "Your Excellency, why are you back so fast? My brother who went to retrieve the item hasn't arrived yet."

"No hurry, you wait here, we'll take these two fellows back first," Ling Xiao said. "You know where to find us."

"My brother knows where to send the item once he gets it. I can come with Your Excellency and help carry it," Cat Nineteen said. "If Your Excellency finds it tiring, I can have my brothers carry it and send it over, would that be alright?"

"No need," Ling Xiao didn't want to linger here.

Being ambushed twice in one day made her realize that this place was full of dangers.

Ling Yunzi felt the same way.

It was safer for their family of snakes to stay together.

After taking the corpses of the Gray Wolf and the Mountain Python back, it wasn't long before a little demon arrived, carrying a package.

Inside were the items retrieved from the Scripture Hall.

Among them was the Wujin Small Cauldron that Ling Yunzi had taken a fancy to.

"Where was this item stored?" Ling Xiao asked.

"At the Green Spirit Wolf Clan's stall in the Scripture Hall, they help to look after it."

"Your brother went to retrieve it, and they just gave it to him?"

"My brother took some fur from the Gray Wolf, and blood from the Mountain Python," Cat Nineteen said. "The little demons guarding the stall had to examine these. The guard is a Ti Ling Hound, whose nose can sniff out authenticity."

Ling Xiao nodded, thinking that it probably couldn't just sniff out authenticity, but also whether the owner of the items was alive or dead.

But seeing it this way, the demon generals and great demons here were quite disciplined and willing to abide by the rules.

Even if the owner of the stored item died, no one would think it wrong to embezzle it.

Yet they were still willing to give the item to the victor, which showed a certain level of integrity.

Of course, whether there was an intention to encourage demon beasts to kill each other was not within her consideration.

"This little demon, is he also your brother?" Ling Xiao looked at the little demon who handed the item to Ling Yunzi, and it turned out to be a macaque.

Ling Xiao and the others had met one of Cat Nineteen's brothers.

The little demon had eaten some of the fish they gave in the morning, and then called a brother to take the rest away.

But it wasn't this one, it was a cat demon.

"To let Your Excellency know, I have seven or eight brothers who hang around here together," Cat Nineteen smiled, "If Your Excellency needs anything, just ask, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

"Very well, is your information reliable?"

"Of course!"

… …

Ling Xiao and the others wanted to cultivate, so they hired this group of little demons to gather information.

If there was anything important, Cat Nineteen would send a little demon from the Mountain Rat Clan to tell them.

For the remaining days, they did not leave the area near the riverbank.

Besides diligently gathering spiritual energy and moonlight to cultivate, demon beasts also wanted to increase their strength by devouring the flesh and demon cores of other demon beasts to boost their blood energy.

The latter was a quick fix with endless hidden dangers if one wasn't careful, but it was an effective way to increase combat power in a short period of time.

So at night, many prying eyes from the riverbed and the shadows fell upon them.

It was evident that the struggles and ambushes in the darkness never stopped.

Most of the demon beasts, especially those who came from the edge of the mountains, were not very intelligent and easily fell into traps.

"I wonder how many will be left when the arena opens," Ling Yunzi sighed.

"What are you sighing about? There will always be a victor who ascends the stage, you don't need to worry about not having an opponent," Ling Xiao snorted. "I don't believe you didn't see such scenes when you first entered the sect?"

"Speaking of fighting, these demon beasts are far inferior to…"

Whether it was in terms of methods or temperament, the human race was superior.

Within the sect, how many cases of exterminating entire families for the sake of victory didn't occur every year?

Some children, from the moment they were selected and obtained the qualifications to cultivate, began to target their competitors under the guidance of adults.

Ling Yunzi didn't refute, saying that this was unique to your Demonic Sect.

Moreover, within the Xuan Sect, the competition for benefits was equally fierce.

With his exceptional talent, he had been protected by his master and senior brothers from the moment he entered the sect, and he had never experienced such things, so he didn't know how much hatred and schemes he had attracted.

Later, his master and senior brothers…

Thinking of the faces of some people, Ling Yunzi's mood instantly became extremely bad.

Ling Xiao, seeing that he wasn't speaking, found it strange and said, "Hmm? Little White Brother, why are you silent?"

"This seat is too lazy to waste words," Ling Yunzi closed his eyes.

"Ha! I think you have nothing to say, right?" Ling Xiao laughed, "It seems there are quite a few dirty and disgusting things in the Xuan Sect. Why don't you tell me a few, and let me listen?"

Ling Yunzi ignored him.

"Hiss hiss~" The nearby She Xiaocui couldn't help but flick her snake tongue, Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai were saying strange things again that snakes couldn't understand.

Looking at her good son Xiao Hua, who was still sound asleep, a worried look appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Hua suffered a lot of injuries in the battle with the Golden-Backed Dragon Fish, and had been sleeping for several days now without waking up.

"Hiss hiss~" How can he keep sleeping and not wake up?

He needs to wake up to eat.

Eat his fill and then continue sleeping.

Sleeping without eating like this will starve him to death.

Facts proved that Mrs. She Xiaocui's concerns were very necessary.

The next day, Xu Chengxian was awakened by hunger.

Without even opening his eyes, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Food! Food! Quick, quick, quick! Pour it into my mouth!"

"Xiao Qing! Xiao Bai! Quickly get me a bowl of rice! One second later, and I'll starve to death!"

"What are you shouting about? You scared me!" Ling Xiao, who was startled awake from her cultivation by the sudden shout, was so angry that she jumped up on the spot and gave him a headbutt on the back of his head.

"The rice is right next to you, open your mouth and eat it yourself!" Feed you to your mouth? Dream on!

Besides the one who was poisoned to death by her own hands, there were also two old fellows who had enjoyed the Empress's feeding treatment. It was the Emperor's final care for the old ministers before they died.

They died the day after eating, so it could be considered that she personally sent them off.

"Old ghost, if you don't mind, I can also…"

"Awoo!"

How could Xu Chengxian have the mind to listen to her finish?

He had already pounced on the chunks of Golden-Backed Dragon Fish meat and was eating voraciously.

"Squeak squeak!"

"Great King! Great King!" Monkey Dasheng came over, circling around him several times, very happy.

"Great King?" Xu Chengxian took the time to express his doubts in between swallowing meat.

"Cat Nineteen said that the followers among the demon clans call their masters Great King," Ling Yunzi said. "Dasheng heard it and called you Great King."

Flower Snake is the Great King, and Ling Xiao and he are the Second Great King and the Little Great King.

"Great King! You're awake?" Dai Dai also poked her head out of the river and looked, "Great King, are you alright?"
