Blackwater Salamander
Li Qingshan took out the underground mental map he had stolen from the Zombie Daoist and unfurled it. This place had completely exceeded the range of the underground mental map.
When he channeled his true qi into the mental map, it flashed, but it did not form an image. Instead, it was a blurry speck of light. Something had interfered with it.
Little Ann said softly, "It must be because of the underground magnetic field!"
Li Qingshan said, "How did you know?"
Little Ann said hesitantly, "I think I've read it somewhere before, but I can't remember where."
Li Qingshan smiled. "It must be a memory from the past!" Otherwise, how could she forget which book it was with her memory?
Little Ann immediately fell silent. She showed a rare hint of worry. She had no idea whether it was because of Milliped's spiritual stone bed or the fragrance of the blue iris. The memories in the depths of her mind surfaced bit by bit, bringing her illusionary dreams.
Li Qingshan fell silent as well. He thought of the same place as her. It was her hometown in the distant south. She did not know where it was exactly. Perhaps it would suddenly jump into her mind at any time and pull her into the distance.
He carried her down and cradled her in his arms like a doll. He stroked her smooth hair gently and kissed the red mole on her forehead gently. The fragrance of sandalwood lingered around his lips.
"It's not a bad thing to be able to recover my memories! Tell me about the underground magnetic field! I've never heard Milliped mention this before! "
Little Ann nodded obediently and wrapped her arms around his neck. "The underground magnetic field will affect the use of techniques and spiritual artifacts. The deeper you go, the greater the effect. "
Li Qingshan casually cast a simple technique. Sure enough, it was slightly more difficult to cast than it was above ground.
This really was the home ground of daemons. Although daemons could use techniques like techniques, they basically relied on their powerful daemon qi to force their way through. They did not have the delicate process of casting techniques like humans, so the effects were obviously negligible.
"So smart!"
Little Ann smiled faintly. "There are also astral winds in the sky. The higher you go, the stronger they get. They can scatter the spiritual energy of the True Qi and scatter the souls of people."
"Really? That's amazing!"
"Also, Heavenly Flame Burning Cloud …"
Li Qingshan listened to her with a smile as he moved forward. It was rare to hear her talk so much. They forgot the hidden troubles and enjoyed the moment together. Then, they looked forward to the fact that there really was a banquet in the world that would never end, and it was prepared for them. "..."

…
In this dark underground, many of the methods of humans were useless. They could only rely on their instinctive sense of smell, hearing, sense of direction, and memory.
The underground cavern was thousands of times more complicated than any maze in the world. No one could be sure where the path in front of them led to. When you were focused on going up and wanted to return to the surface, the cavern might suddenly curve downwards, or you might even run into a dead end. All of your plans would be for naught, and you would have to find a new path.
Add to that the threat of daemons hiding in the shadows, it was enough to make ninth and tenth layer Qi Practitioners tired and anxious, or even lost in the depths of the underground. The dangers here were terrifying, and it was not just about power.
However, Li Qingshan was strolling around like it was his own backyard. His sensitive senses allowed him to easily find the path. As long as he released his powerful daemon qi, the other daemons would be able to restrain themselves and not attack randomly. The most terrifying daemon here, King Milliped, was his strong shield.
However, he did not bring Milliped with him this time to suppress the other powerful daemons.
On the path of daemons, the strong were revered. It was not as strict and orderly as the humans. The rule of a fox borrowing the tiger's might was not as effective in the world of daemons as it was in the human world. If he could not display enough power, how could he make those arrogant daemons submit to him, the commander of the daemons?!
Apart from that, he had a deeper purpose.
Li Qingshan advanced along the underground river with faint spiritual qi. The water gradually sank deeper into the ground. He dove into the water and swam forward with the current.
An hour later, his field of vision suddenly widened. He saw an extremely wide body of water. He could not see the end of it, nor did he see the surface of the water. There was only the quiet ripples of the black water, as if there were black jade buried underground.
When it came to the underground, normal people would naturally think of the boundless earth. Who would have thought that there would be such a rich water source underground?
Li Qingshan thought, The person Milliped mentioned should be here.
The spiritual qi in the black water was very dense. Although it was not as dense as Milliped's residence, it was still a rare holy land for cultivation.
According to Li Qingshan's observations over the past few days, there was a spiritual vein underground. It was in this direction, so it was very likely that there were crystallized spiritual stones in the depths of the black water.
He wanted to find the hidden daemons. Of course, he was not going to look around randomly. Instead, he followed Milliped's description and the direction the spiritual vein took. All powerful daemons occupied places with dense spiritual qi.
Li Qingshan got Little Ann to wait on one side before letting out a deep roar. He completely transformed into his daemon form. He had tiger claws, a tiger tail, ox hooves, and ox horns. His head of scarlet hair floated upwards like a ball of blazing fire. His figure had already reached a height of nine meters.
During this period of time, he had stopped practising qi and focused on practising the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression. He continued to eat the various pills and borrowed Milliped's bed to sleep a few times. His daemon qi grew extremely rapidly, gradually suppressing the ox demon completely. Recovering his original appearance was no longer an issue.
Afterwards, he immediately began practising the second layer of the tiger demon.
Practising the tiger demon was not just about eating pills and cultivating silently. It required intense battles to unleash its potential and break through bottlenecks.
As a result, he released his daemon qi fearlessly and let out a provocative roar.
At the bottom of the water, a pair of lantern-sized eyes suddenly lit up in the depths of the mud. They shone with a vicious light. With a swing of its huge tail, it pushed away the black mud. Its colossal body shot over thirty meters away nimbly, swimming straight towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan sensed a daemon qi even more powerful than his own in the distance. Just like Milliped had said, this guy was very powerful. It was so powerful that even Milliped was unwilling to make trouble for it in the water.
However, Milliped was of the fire element, while Li Qingshan was of the water element. The deep waters were also his home ground.
With the spirit turtle's daemon core, he moved no slower than he would on land. He sank to the bottom of the water, his hooves digging into the mud and stepping on the rocks. He stared ahead calmly.
The daemon qi grew closer and closer. He also vaguely made out a huge, vicious figure, as well as a pair of eye-catching daemon eyes. The daemon must have seen the same thing.
Before the daemon had even approached him, the water surged over like a tsunami. Of course, this was not just a splash from its body. Instead, it was controlled by daemon qi.
Li Qingshan's expression remained the same. He did not even use the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell to protect himself.
The water surged and rumbled like an army charging towards the enemy, slamming into Li Qingshan viciously and producing a thunderous rumble at the bottom of the water.
His fiery, scarlet hair suddenly swept backwards, but Li Qingshan's figure was like a pillar of support, unmoving. Even with the tremendous pressure on him, he did not even frown.
The surging water produced countless tiny, white streams of turbulence across his body. A small, colourful fish was lifted up by the water against its will, slipping through one of the streams. Its body was immediately sliced cleanly apart.
Even if it was as gentle as water, it could become a terrifying weapon as long as it was strengthened with sufficient speed and power.
However, this was only a test and a demonstration!
Seeing how its first test had failed, the black water daemon did not rush over in a hurry. It watched on from afar.
"It's my turn!" Scarlet light flashed through Li Qingshan's eyes. He spread his arms and reached into the water like he was grabbing something extremely heavy.
The spirit turtle's daemon core revolved as its daemon qi expanded to the limit. Suddenly, it pushed forward forcefully, and the water several meters around Li Qingshan suddenly emptied. Li Qingshan seemed to have lifted up a huge ball of water and smashed it towards the daemon.
The daemon swung its tail and shattered the ball of water. It was like hundreds of tons had exploded at the bottom of the water, stirring up the entire lake.
However, using water to deal with a daemon of the same element obviously would not achieve anything. This was like how ferocious beasts would always roar at each other when they met in the wilderness to demonstrate their might.
As if it had confirmed that Li Qingshan was an opponent on par with it, the black water daemon swam over. This time, it did not cause any ripples. Wherever it swam, the black water would automatically part for it. It was so quiet that it seemed like it was sliding through space.
Li Qingshan finally saw the daemon's appearance. It was a salamander, but it had reached a terrifying length of fifty or sixty meters. Its smooth, sticky skin was pitch-black like ink. As it swam through the water silently, it was like a ghost in the darkness. It actually possessed an indescribable sense of elegance. It was the ruler of this lake.
The first subordinate that Li Qingshan wanted to recruit, the blackwater salamander.
Two tremendous daemon qi constantly clashed in the water. The blackwater salamander used the changes in the daemon qi to communicate its intentions clearly.
"Who are you? Why have you invaded my territory?"
Of course, not all daemons could speak the human language. However, every single daemon had grasped a method of communication after constantly communicating with the spiritual qi of the world over the years.
They used the pulses of daemon qi to replace their roars. Although it was not as intricate as the human language, it was much simpler and clearer.
Li Qingshan was a daemon in the first place. After learning a little from Milliped, he comprehended this special method of communication for daemons, so he obviously understood what the blackwater salamander was trying to say. Li Qingshan eased up slightly inside. Sure enough, powerful daemons all possessed a certain level of intelligence. This blackwater salamander seemed to be even smarter than Milliped.
