"Dang!" The horns and teeth clashed, sounding like metal clashing.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound, and the cave shook.
The rat spirit pushed Li Qingshan into the stone wall. Li Qingshan's feet left two deep marks on the ground. The strength that he was most proud of was not this rat spirit's match at all. A daemon with a Spirit Core and a daemon without one were two completely different things. Li Qingshan was alarmed. He saw the rat spirit's eyes shine with a cunning light. Another earth awl pierced the immobilized Li Qingshan from the stone wall behind him.
Little Ann held his sword with both hands and chopped at the rat spirit's neck. A long rat tail swept it away like a steel whip.
Xuanyue attacked again. Four sharp lights shot out from her claws, and the rat spirit's eyes filled with fear. The sharp lights easily tore through the rat spirit's protective layer of demonic qi. The unstoppable rat spirit was sliced into several pieces, dying on the spot.
No matter how strong it looked, a Daemon General-level daemon could not withstand a single blow from Xuanyue, who had already undergone one Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Qingshan kicked the rat spirit's corpse away. The Spirit Core in his hand was no longer beating. He touched his back and saw a bulge on the stone wall. If he had been any slower, he would have been severely injured even if he did not die.
"Too stupid!" Xuanyue evaluated.
"If not for you, would I have come to this place?" Li Qingshan had cultivated for less than half a year, while the rat daemon's lifespan was over a century at the very least. With such an absolute difference in strength, how could it be so easy for the weak to defeat the strong?
Xuanyue was about to speak when she suddenly sensed something. Her expression changed. "Quick, let's go. We have to change places!"
Although Li Qingshan did not sense anything, seeing how serious she was, he immediately turned and left with Little Ann.
The karst cave trembled, and the entrance of the cave, which was originally several dozen feet wide, suddenly trembled. It was as though it had come to life. It contracted and bit down, completely sealing off the cave. Not even a ray of light shone in.
Xuanyue whispered, "Withdraw your demonic qi." Then, she turned invisible again.
Li Qingshan withdrew his demonic qi and listened attentively. Another sound came from the depths of the cave.
A large rat crawled out and stood on two feet. He did not even look at Li Qingshan. Instead, he yelled at the top of his lungs with a strange tone, "The rat king has arrived!"
Li Qingshan was stunned. He was not only surprised that the rat could speak, but also surprised that a group of monsters could be so arrogant.
Then, sixteen rats that stood on two legs walked out from the depths of the cave, carrying a throne on their shoulders.
On the palanquin sat a fat man with a golden crown on his head. He looked like a king. He had a shifty-eyed face, revealing long rat teeth and dragging a rat tail behind him.
Behind it were two female rats that looked like maids. He raised two large fans.
Xuanyue beamed when she saw this, but Li Qingshan could not smile. He had already taken human form, so he was at least a Daemon General. And the rat spirits that carried the palanquin exuded a demonic qi that was even stronger than the large rat spirit.
The rat king said lazily, "Who trespassed on my Black Rat mountain and killed my great general Whitefang?" He completely ignored Li Qingshan who stood over three meters tall in front of him. If it were not for the fact that his voice was far too shrill, If not for the fact that his voice was too shrill, he really did have the demeanor of a king.
The rat that looked like a eunuch shouted, "King, it's this guy!" All the rats said in unison, "Wise King."
Only then did the rat king act like he had just seen Li Qingshan. He studied him up and down. "What kind of daemon are you?" He saw how Li Qingshan had assumed human form and became fearful. Usually, only Daemon Generals that had survived heavenly tribulations could do this.
However, he could not sense any demonic qi from Li Qingshan, so he could not help but be more careful. The rat spirit's body that had been broken into pieces on the ground seemed to have become proof.
Li Qingshan acutely noticed the change in the Rat King's expression and suddenly understood why Xuanyue had asked him to restrain his demonic qi. He could not help but admire her sharp mind. He said boldly, "I am the Old Demon of Black Mountain. You, General White Fang, are too reckless. You dared to sneak up on me and have already been killed by me. Now that you are blocking my way, are you also going to fight to the death with me? "As he spoke, he took a step forward.
He could not help but say it. Li Qingshan's demonic body was extremely mighty. His horns were like spears and his claws were like blades.
The Rat King shrank back. He lived up to his reputation of being as timid as a rat. If Li Qingshan was an ordinary monster, he would definitely pounce on him and eat him up. However, Li Qingshan was suspected to be a Daemon General, so he immediately shrank back. He had no intention of avenging his subordinate. "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! May I know which Daemon General you are working for? "
Li Qingshan did not expect the hierarchy in the Daemon World to be so strict. He still had to follow "Big Brother". Xuanyue softly whispered a name into Li Qingshan's ear.
Li Qingshan immediately said, "I am working for Lord Mo Yu. He specially sent me to the Boundless Mountain to handle some matters."
The Rat King was filled with deep veneration. He even jumped down from his throne. "So you are from the Ink Sea. You are Lord Mo Yu's envoy. Could it be because of that cat demon?"
Li Qingshan was stunned, but he nodded on the surface. "Yes!"
The Rat King said, "Didn't I already tell you? As long as we see it, we will definitely capture that cat demon. We will not disappoint Lord Mo Yu. "He thought to himself, 'No wonder he sent this person here. He can conceal his demonic qi so well. He is indeed suitable for tracking.'
The corner of Li Qingshan's eye twitched. No wonder Xuanyue was so careful deep in the mountains, maintaining the state of Moon Concealment at all times. It turned out that not only humans, but even demons were searching for her. She really did not have a foothold in the Green Region. The danger of this mission far surpassed what he had imagined at the start.
If she were to reveal herself now and engage in a chaotic battle, even if she could win, it would alarm all the demons in the Boundless Mountain. They would come together to capture her, causing their escape to fail completely.
Li Qingshan became even more careful. He carelessly said, "That would really be like a flood rushing against the temple of the Dragon King. But you are a rat, and she is a cat. Aren't you afraid of being eaten?"
Xuanyue's hand pinched fiercely on Li Qingshan's back. 'Why would I eat such a filthy thing!'
The Rat King said to the eunuch rat in charge of passing on the message. "Tell me, what is this King's nickname?"
The eunuch rat said, "Cat Eating Mouse!" The rats then said, "Wise King!"
Xuanyue gritted her teeth in hatred. Her hand pinched Li Qingshan's back.
The Rat King laughed proudly. Seeing Li Qingshan's face twitch, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing! Keep your guard up. I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. "
With a wave of the Rat King's hand, the cave returned to its original state. Sunlight shone in.
Li Qingshan turned around and left. The Rat King stroked the rat whiskers under his nose. "I keep feeling that something's not right. This is the Black Rat Mountain. By right, I should be the Old Demon of the Black Mountain."
The rats said, "Wise King!"
Li Qingshan left the Black Rat Mountain and walked for another few dozen li.
Xuanyue said, "Sooner or later, I'm going to fry this nest of dead rats!"
Li Qingshan shouted in a low voice, "Get down here!"
