Chapter 79 The Secret of the Swamp 3

After observing for a while, Xu Zhenfeng ran towards the place where the tiger tribe was ambushing.

When Hu Ji saw Xu Zhenfeng appear, he widened his eyes and ran quickly to his side.

"You kid, did you really come out alive?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Zhenfeng to speak, he hurriedly said: "As soon as you entered the swamp, your master appeared. I told him that you went into the swamp to find him, and he went in too."

"what?"

Xu Zhenfeng was dumbfounded.

There is only that small path leading into the swamp. Apart from the Xiyi general who was promoted to Xiyi commander, he has never found any other Xiyi or monsters.

Why didn’t he and Master Five meet?

Then, he immediately thought of the granular feeling in the thick fog. If Master Wu didn't know how to cover his mouth and nose with a wet cloth like he did, then the master might not be able to reach the center of the swamp.

Xu Zhenfeng turned around and ran without saying a word.

Hu Ji shouted angrily behind him: "Don't go in again, you two are really stubborn, what if your master comes out too?"

Xu Zhenfeng ran all the way and came behind the strange rock where he and Hu Ji had hidden before.

This is right across from the path that leads into the swamp.

He seized the opportunity and ran into the alley.

It’s still the same thick fog, but the granularity in the fog is stronger.

Xu Zhenfeng suddenly realized that this thick fog was the gray fog with impurities that was exhaled by the great Xiyi who were promoted to Xiyi Shuai after filtering the black and gray fog given by Xuankong Xiyi.

Even Xiyi himself does not absorb these impurities, no wonder there are still particulate matter in the fog.

After he groped forward for a distance, there was a sudden shock in the thick fog ahead.

Xu Zhenfeng quickly dodged and hid outside the path.

Then a wolf demon appeared in front of him and ran out of the path at a rapid speed.

"Master Five."

Xu Zhenfeng shouted hurriedly, and immediately felt the thick fog that spread into his mouth was bitter and astringent.

The fifth elder turned around suddenly and saw Xu Zhenfeng's figure flashing out from the side of the road.

He was holding his breath to the extreme point and could only turn his head towards Xu Zhenfeng, signaling him to get out quickly.

The two wolf demons, big and small, ran out along the path again.

The master and disciple finally ran back behind the strange rock.

The fifth elder was panting and circling around Xu Zhenfeng, ready to bite his tail.

Xu Zhenfeng hurriedly followed and turned around to avoid it.

"Master Wu, listen to me, don't... don't bite... Ouch."

Xu Zhenfeng screamed miserably, but the Fifth Elder was still not satisfied, so he bit his tail, threw him up, and slammed him to the ground.

After finally catching his breath, the Fifth Elder cursed, "You little bastard, you made me run back and forth more than ten times, and I almost suffocated to death in there."

Xu Zhenfeng said with a sad face: "Master Wu, why don't you look at the Speech Stone? Great Demon Wu Jue and Uncle Hu Ji both gave you the Speech Stone, but you didn't respond. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came here to look for you."

"Do I need you to come looking for me? Do you need to worry about me, an old man who has been a demon for hundreds of years? What? Have you become more powerful? You have become a ninth-grade yellow-rank demon, so amazing? Huh? You have become a ninth-grade yellow-rank demon? You even dared to enter the swamp led by Commander Xi Yi..."

The fifth elder was also very angry and kept cursing Xu Zhenfeng.

Xu Zhenfeng tried to interrupt him several times, but he kept going around in circles looking for his tail, so he was scared and didn't dare to speak.

He could only tuck his tail under his buttocks and listen to the Fifth Master's sarcasm and scolding with a well-behaved face.

I finally waited until the Fifth Elder was out of breath from scolding again, and took the opportunity to take a breath.

"Master Fifth, there is a strange Xiyi in the middle of the swamp who can quickly promote a Xiyi general to a Xiyi commander."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder started coughing without even taking a breath.

"You said... ahem... what did you say... ahem what?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. There was not a trace of Great Xiyi's aura on that Xiyi. It absorbed the Little Xiyi and then transformed the absorbed mist into black and gray. After it was absorbed by the Xiyi general, it was quickly promoted to Xiyi Marshal in a few breaths."

Xu Zhenfeng spoke very quickly.

The fifth elder looked at him blankly.

"You ran off into the middle of the swamp?"

"Correct."

Xu Zhenfeng nodded honestly.

"How can you get to the middle? You? Aren't you holding your breath?"

The fifth elder couldn't believe it. Could this kid be better at holding his breath than him?

"You see, just wet it with your saliva. Don't use swamp water, it might be poisonous."

Xu Zhenfeng took out a piece of cloth and covered his face with it, making a gesture.

The fifth elder reacted and realized that he had seen a cloth covering his face when they were on the path just now. So this is the case?

The fifth elder instantly understood the reason for covering the mouth and nose with a wet cloth.

This kid has a lot of clever ideas.

"You said that the Xiyi Meng in the center of the swamp raised the realms of other Xiyi?"

"My disciple saw with his own eyes that it promoted a Xiyi general to the level of Xiyi commander. It only required sacrificing seven or eight hundred Xiyi children to do it."

"And then there is..."

Xu Zhenfeng lowered his head, organized his words, and continued: "The Xiyi was floating in the air. There was a fist-sized black crystal stone under its feet, and the black air it emitted was absorbed by it."

"I feel that the black crystal stone will be of great assistance to my cultivation."

The fifth elder looked at him strangely.

"Do you think you can absorb the black energy in that black crystal?"

"It should be. Anyway, I could already sense the existence of the crystal before I even saw it."

"A black crystal that emits black energy? Could it be a magic crystal? No, how could a magic crystal appear in the Xiyi Realm?"

The fifth elder began to circle again.

This time, he was not looking for Xu Zhenfeng's tail to bite, but he couldn't figure out what that black crystal was?

"I think that the reason why the suspended Xiyi can quickly improve the realms of other Xiyi should be due to the black crystal."

The fifth elder stopped in his tracks and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

"Master Wu, you?"

Xu Zhenfeng looked at the fifth elder hesitantly.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to steal that crystal stone just the two of us, right?"

The fifth elder stared in deep thought for a while, then took out the speech stone and sent a message to someone unknown.

After fiddling with the speech stone for a while, he said to Xu Zhenfeng with a serious look on his face: "Inform all the monsters about this. That black crystal stone might really be a magic crystal."

"You can't let other monsters know that you can absorb soul crystals, let alone magic crystals. Even if you can absorb the power of magic crystals, you can't use it."

"Why? I can absorb the power from the soul crystal to practice, why can't I use the power from the magic crystal?"

Xu Zhenfeng was puzzled.

"Have you ever seen a demon?"

Xu Zhenfeng shook his head.

"We, the demon race, are spirits born and raised by nature. We have all kinds of birds and beasts, even tree demons and vine demons, but we cannot become demons without humans. By the same token, humans cannot become demons either. But the demon race can be any race. As long as they can be possessed by the devil, both humans and demons can become demons."

Xu Zhenfeng was dazed.

"Possessed?"

"Correct."

The fifth elder nodded. "Demonic energy is formed by the evil energy of heaven and earth. In the earliest times of this world, there were no demons. After thousands of years of war between humans and demons, the evil energy between heaven and earth gradually increased, and demonic energy was born. Humans or demons with dark and vicious minds, bad and crazy personalities who absorb demonic energy become demons."

"The demons act without scruples, and everything is based on achieving their own goals. As long as they can achieve their own goals. Sometimes, even if it is a trivial matter, they will do whatever they want and cause endless killings."

After finishing his words, the Fifth Elder sighed, "Hundreds of years ago, a great demon appeared in the demon clan. He lost a battle with the human race and fled with a grudge in his heart. He took his anger out on the human race that he had fought with and massacred everyone in a large city where that human race had lived, leaving no one alive. This is the demon clan."

After listening to the fifth elder's story, Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but shudder.

Just because you lost the fight, you go and massacre people in the big city where they used to live?

"The demons shouldn't exist in this world. It's because humans killed each other too much in order to compete with us for resources that demonic energy, a thing that goes against the will of heaven, was born."

The fifth elder looked indignant and put all the blame on the human race.

"So, after the demons appeared, the demons and humans joined forces to imprison our demon race in this demon mountain?"

The fifth elder immediately replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "The actions of the demons cannot be judged by common sense. Sometimes they join forces with humans to suppress our demon race, but most of the time they fight against humans."

That demon tribe is so miserable.

Xu Zhenfeng thought to himself that the demons wanted to suppress the monsters, and the humans also wanted to suppress the monsters, and the two races even joined forces to imprison the monsters.

The demons are always the targets of attack wherever they go.
