The shadow demon's neck was broken after being turned around by Zhang Tie. Closely after that, it drooped down softly...
Only a dead demon was a good demon. The shadow demon was like a mutated huge lizard with wings and a single horn. Including its tail, this shadow demon was longer than 3 m.
The single horn, wings and skin color of earth knight-level shadow demons were evidently different than that of common shadow demons. They were all unique symbols of earth knight-level shadow demons.
Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh.
With that long sigh, Zhang Tie let out a lot of the depression and indignation that he felt after seeing Lan Yunxi.
This time, it was a shadow demon, an earth-level shadow demon. It had been less than 1 hour since he met Zhang Tie; however, this specter demon who disturbed the entire Tiewei Mountain had been killed by him. If this was not the proof of his battle force, what was?
Zhang Tie felt the surging strength which belonged to him, which rekindled Zhang Tie's fighting will and confidence.
The unbeatable earth knight who was like a mountain in front of him had already been lying in front of him like a dead dog. 'In the future, it will be shadow demons and heavenly knights who will be defeated by me one day. The shadow demon today will be the Gobbling Party tomorrow. Heavenly knights and top three chancellors of Taixia Country represent the past; however, I represent the future. '
After throwing another glance at this spacious and deserted underground mine, Zhang Tie grabbed the shadow demon's neck like lifting a dead dog. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared with the shadow demon.
...
Zhang Tie returned to Castle of Black Iron.
He had not come back for over 2 months since he met Bai Suxian.
"Congratulations, Castle Lord, you've killed the shadow demon!" Heller had long been waiting for him in the lobby of the palace tree. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Heller bowed towards Zhang Tie, "After killing this earth-level shadow demon, Castle Lord's reputation in the human world and Taixia Country would definitely rise to a new height!"
This shadow demon was the eyesore of human knights in the Earth-elements Realm. It posed a great threat to human knights, especially black iron knights. This shadow demon made so many people restless on the battlefields. Because of this, Taixia Country offered a high reward for the head of this shadow demon so as to stimulate the morale of human knights.
It was definitely a symbolic event for Zhang Tie to kill this shadow demon, which was of great significance to humans in the large-scale battle in Tiewei Mountain. It was an inspiring victory. As an earth knight, it indicated that Zhang Tie had entered the ranks of earth knights in Taixia Country by killing a shadow demon, the weirdest one among earth knights.
This shadow demon was a special stepping-stone. With this stepping-stone, Zhang Tie's reputation would reach an unprecedented height in both the Earth-elements Realm and Taixia Country.
"Help me check what's on this guy. As this guy has been in the Tiewei Mountain Theater of Operations for so long and been hated by humans so much, he must have a lot of items on him!" Zhang Tie told Heller.
Based on the experience of Old Monster Qi, Zhang Tie knew that he might miss the good items on the body of knights if he searched through the body of the shadow demon. However, if he wanted to dig out all the items on the body of the shadow demon, the body of the shadow demon would be beyond recognition. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly took the shadow demon into Castle of Black Iron. As long as he entered Castle of Black Iron, nothing on the body of this shadow demon could escape from Heller's control. In this place, Heller could control Castle of Black Iron completely on a molecular level.
Heller revealed a smile towards Zhang Tie silently. Closely after that, he pointed at the body of the shadow demon. Closely after that, two items flew off the body of the shadow demon and flew towards Zhang Tie.
Heller's skill could even match Zhang Tie's ability as a divine dominator. What was more, he didn't sense any battle qi at all. Even Zhang Tie didn't sense any spiritual energy or battle qi wave from Heller. However, the item on the shadow demon's body had flown towards him.
One item was a necklace on the chest of the shadow demon, which was faintly similar to that of the demon general. At the sight of it, Zhang Tie had known that it was a space-teleportation equipment. There was another item that flew out from under a scale in the middle of the Shadow Fiend's forehead, just below the horn on its head.
The moment Zhang Tie caught the necklace, he had confirmed that it was a space-teleportation equipment, which was much more advanced than that of the demon general. Zhang Tie didn't feel like checking the items in the space of the necklace; instead, he directly shook all the items in the space of the necklace into the lobby of the palace tree.
There were thousands of golden earth element crystals, hundreds of blue water element crystals, some food, water, two mirrors, dozens of sets of clothes and some other items.
Looking into the mirror was the special hobby of the shadow demon. Those clothes might be used by the shadow demon to change its look. The earth element crystals and water element crystals were an unexpected surprise. As for an earth knight, these crystals were a lot; especially those water element crystals. If Zhang Tie was stationed in the Lion Fortress, it would take him many years to make so many crystals.
After glancing around, Zhang Tie fixated onto those other items. He saw a silver secret shield among them, which was as same as the shield that he gained from the demon general. Plus the one that he gifted to Lan Yunxi, Zhang Tie had got 3 of such shields.
'Are there many such shields in silver secret items? '
Zhang Tie became speechless too. Besides this silver secret item shield, there were over 10 crystals being wrapped by metal, which indicated that they were senior secret methods.
Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy while those secret methods flew towards him.
After a cursory glance, Zhang Tie found 4 secret methods of "sutra", which Zhang Tie had not heard about. The remaining 11 secret methods were powerful battle skills.
Many of these secret methods were covered with blood stains. Given the blood stains, Zhang Tie knew where these secret methods came from — — each secret method here was a debt of blood to this shadow demon.
"What's this?" Zhang Tie caught that bead which was giving out bizarre luster from the shadow demon's head.
"This is also a silver secret item. Compared to common weapons, this kind of silver secret item is rarer. Castle Lord, you will know it by sticking it onto your forehead!"
After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie took that bizarre bead and stuck it onto his forehead.
The moment the bead touched his forehead, Zhang Tie had felt his spiritual energy rocking in his mind sea while a cool and comfortable feeling gradually spread over his mind sea.
'This bead could nourish spiritual energy! '
Zhang Tie became ecstatic as he looked at the bizarre bead over and over again with great fondness.
'But how do I use it? ' 'I'm not a shadow demon. I don't have the ability to hide this bead under the scales on my head. Additionally, I can't inlay it onto my head. If I make it into a headdress or forehead ornament, it would feel pretty awkward for a man to wear it. '
Zhang Tie touched his head helplessly. When he imagined the look of this bead on his head, he could only reveal a bitter smile, 'Forget it, I will keep it. If I wear a battle armor, this bead could be inlaid into the helmet of the battle armor; if not, this bead is more suitable to be inlaid into the head ornament of a woman.'
'It's strange that there's such a thing in a silver secret item. '
"Heller, what's the name of this bead? I feel that it's especially used to be inlaid onto something!"
"It's called spirit-nourishing bead. It's indeed used to be inlaid onto some special equipment. Precisely, it's used with some special silver secret items."
"Can it be used together with other silver secret items?" Zhang Tie became a bit shocked as it was his first time to hear that different silver secret items could be combined with each other.
Heller replied with a smile, "There're many kinds of silver secret items. They're definitely not limited to weapons and space-teleportation equipment. In a far-ancient age, the so-called silver secret items were actually common tools made by people in that age. Of course, different tools could be combined with each other. When Castle Lord sees more silver secret items in the future, you will know it for sure!"
After hearing Heller's explanation, Zhang Tie didn't ask anymore.
...
After being away from Castle of Black Iron for over 2 months, the small tree was covered with fruits once again. However, there was no iron-body fruit. There was only one leakless fruit left.
After Zhang Tie promoted to an earth knight, the leakless fruit came to an end. That leakless fruit was kept by Zhang Tie as a souvenir.
If that shadow demon was not an earth knight, there would at least be one fruit of plunder on the small tree. However, as the shadow demon was already an earth knight, the small tree could not bear any fruit related to demon knights. What a pity.
The fruits on the small tree were the fruits of redemption from the gratitude of hairy shellfish, gulf shrimps and golden uangs.
The hairy shellfish enhanced the body's defense and ability to withstand attacks, the gulf shrimp enhanced the body's healing and recovery ability, and the golden uangs enhanced the body's strength.
After taking the three fruits, Zhang Tie's upper limit of defensive ability and bearing ability increased by 0.45%; his healing and recovery ability increased by 0.87%. Additionally, the 4 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs increased Zhang Tie's physical strength by over 280 kg.
With the effect of these fruits, Zhang Tie's overall strength had improved by a small level unconsciously.
After taking the fruits, Zhang Tie directly sat down under the small tree with crossed legs and started to digest the water elements that he refined from the shadow demon...
...
2 days later, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as 7 dragon scales on his portable earth knight's crystal plate had been lit. This shadow demon had lit 5 dragon scales for Zhang Tie.
After cultivating for 2 days in Castle of Black Iron and taking a short rest, Zhang Tie recovered his look. With the help of Heller, Zhang Tie purposefully made himself look a bit embarrassed as if he had experienced a tough battle. After that, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron with the shadow demon's corpse on his shoulder like carrying a prey before flying back to Black Armor Battlefortress in a domineering way...
