"These trees …" Ye Kong wanted to blurt out a few curses, but he suddenly recalled Huai Kui's words, "Most of these trees have yet to develop intelligence" … Did that mean that a small portion of them had already developed intelligence?
Ye Kong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly changed his words with a smile. "These trees don't look good at first glance, but this is also a matter of habit. I'm used to looking at trees with leaves, but I'm not used to looking at trees without leaves. Actually, these trees, upon closer inspection, are very handsome. Their roots are straight, and they look very ambitious. The more I look at them, the more beautiful they look, and the more I like them. "
Indeed, Huai Kui's face was full of joy, as if Ye Kong was praising him.
"Brother Ye, you really understand me. Actually, these trees aren't as handsome as Brother Ye says. I'm sorry."
"Sigh, Brother Huai, don't doubt my judgment. My judgment is still very good. If I say they're handsome, then they're handsome. Look at these little trees, they're really full of vitality. Those big trees in the distance, each and every one of them is handsome and unrestrained. That tallest tree in the center is so handsome that it's boundlessly handsome." 'Damn it, I'm getting worse and worse.
"Haha, so handsome. Interesting." Huai Kui laughed out loud.
Ye Kong's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the towering tree and thought to himself, It can't be.
Huai Kui finished laughing and said, "I've stayed in this valley alone for thousands of years, and even if I did see one, it wouldn't be as interesting as Brother Ye."
You alone? Could it be that you're the only one who has developed intelligence? Ye Kong looked at the giant tree that pierced through the clouds in the distance, as if he had understood something.
"Brother Huai, you're really lonely. You don't even have someone to talk to usually," Ye Kong lamented.
Huai Kui shook his head and raised the green scroll in his hand. "It's fine. I have a book as my companion."
Only then did Ye Kong notice that the book in Huai Kui's hand was really just a very ordinary book. When Ye Kong saw the book turn into a dark cloud with his own eyes, he thought it was a powerful Dharma artifact. Who knew that it was a very ordinary book, one that mortals read.
This Huai Kui was able to use a mortal object to unleash the effects of a Dharma artifact. Ye Kong had never even thought of such a divine ability.
"Big Brother Huai's methods are extraordinary." Ye Kong couldn't help but sigh emotionally. If he had such methods, he wouldn't have been chased into a cave.
Huai Kui laughed bitterly instead, and he shook his head as he said, "There's always a sky in the sky, and there's always someone superior to you. You possess extraordinary abilities, yet haven't you been trapped here for 200,000 years?"
"Oh," Ye Kong replied before continuing the previous topic. "Big Brother Huai, actually, when you're bored, you can chat with that old man surnamed Shi."
When Huai Kui heard Geezer Stone, he immediately waved his hand angrily and scolded, "Geezer Stone, I don't like this guy."
"Understandable." Ye Kong said, "I don't like that old bastard either." After he finished speaking, he said in a low voice, "Big brother Huai, why don't you charge out of the formation with me? We'll be free to roam the Azure Violet Continent."
Ye Kong had a good idea. He knew that his own strength wasn't up to par. If he brought along a super old demon like Huai Kui as his fighter, his chances of passing the test would greatly increase.
But his wishful thinking fell through. Huai Kui shook his head and said, "If I could charge out of the restrictions here, I would have done so many years ago … Moreover, if I were to forcefully charge out, these trees …"
Huai Kui's words were filled with reluctance towards these trees.
Ye Kong asked, "Brother Huai, what do you think of these trees …"
Huai Kui didn't hide anything as he said with a smile, "Actually, I'm a Demon Cultivator that has taken human form. That giant snake tree in the center is my true form."
Although Ye Kong had already guessed this, he was still a little shocked when he heard Huai Kui say it out loud. After all, it was his first time encountering a Demon Cultivator. A Demon Cultivator was a demon, and anyone would be nervous if they were in his shoes.
It was extremely difficult for a Demon Cultivator to take human form. The Transformation Stage of a Demon Cultivator was equivalent to the middle stage of a cultivator, which meant that Huai Kui had at least a Void Training Stage cultivation.
According to what Ye Kong knew, the most powerful cultivator in the Cang Nan Continent was only in the late stage of Yuanying. There weren't even any Soul Formation cultivators. If this Huai Kui left, he would be the number one person in the Cang Nan Continent.
Ye Kong thought to himself that it was fortunate that he didn't scold these Demon Trees just now. Otherwise, Huai Kui would definitely hate his own people to death. Just think about it, who would be willing to let others scold their children and grandchildren?
Seeing that Ye Kong didn't speak, Huai Kui laughed and said, "Why? Are you afraid? Or are you regretting calling me a demon brother? "
Human cultivators despised demonic cultivators. Therefore, many people would not be able to accept being brothers with demonic cultivators.
However, Ye Kong was different. He immediately laughed and said, "Big Brother Huai, let's see what you're thinking. I've heard that the human heart is sinister, but I've never heard of the Demon Heart being sinister. The scariest thing in the world is the human heart. In fact, some demons are even kinder than humans."
After hearing what Ye Kong said, Huai Kui seemed very happy. He patted Ye Kong and said, "Good! Seeing that you don't look down on us Demon Cultivators, I'll directly send you through! "
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Big Brother." Ye Kong thought to himself, 'If you don't send me through, I'll definitely burn all your children and grandchildren to ashes. Why does it look like you're giving me face?'
But then again, if they were enemies, Huai Kui would be able to take on a hundred Ye Kong's.
With Huai Kui leading the way, Ye Kong quickly walked into the depths of the valley. He wasn't afraid of Huai Kui's sneak attack. If this old demon wanted to kill him, there was no need for him to play such tricks.
As they walked, Huai Kui introduced to Ye Kong which generation this tree was, how many years it had been cultivating, and which generation that tree was … It seemed that Huai Kui really cared for his descendants. Almost every tree had a story to tell, and from Ye Kong's point of view, these trees all looked the same.
Standing in the middle of the valley, under the tallest Snake Pagoda Tree, Huai Kui couldn't help but pat his body and sigh. "The saddest thing about trees is that they can't move … Everyone has two legs, and we Snake Pagoda Trees also want to have two legs … This is the reason why all Snake Pagoda Trees desperately cultivate."
Looking at Huai Kui's sigh, Ye Kong felt a wave of emotion in his heart. The Cang Nan Continent was indifferent, selfish, and heartless, but he didn't expect a demon to be so sentimental and righteous. Most humans would probably be left in the dust.
After walking for a while, they were about to reach the exit of the valley.
Huai Kui suddenly said, "Actually, I have a presumptuous request for sending you over this time."
Ye Kong hurriedly said, "Brother Huai, please speak your mind."
"The next pass is the water pass, which is guarded by a water dragon. This water dragon is called Yu Ning. This demon is rude and overbearing. It grabs the upstream water source and refuses to let it flow into my valley, causing my descendants to be thirsty for a long time. If I hadn't used a spell to condense the water, I'm afraid half of the trees in this valley would have dried up." After Huai Kui finished speaking, he looked at his descendants in the valley and sighed. "If there was enough water, they would cultivate to the point of taking human form a few thousand years faster."
Ye Kong asked, "What is the cultivation level of that water dragon? Brother Huai, I'm only at the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement realm. I'm afraid that its cultivation level is too high for me to deal with. "
"It's fine," Huai Kui said with a smile. "That water dragon is a female dragon with a pair of daughters named Big Jade and Little Jade. Big Jade has a gentle temperament and treats people politely. Little Jade, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She's even more unruly than her mother and scolds people the moment she opens her mouth. However, Yu Ning dotes on her younger daughter more. So, I've prepared a gift for Little Jade. As long as you give it to Little Jade and let her speak on your behalf, this matter will be settled. "
"Oh? Then I can help with this. "Ye Kong nodded in response.
Following that, Huai Kui took out a jade green gourd and said, "This treasure is a very powerful ancient treasure called the Waterfire Gourd. This treasure is actually a huge spatial Dharma artifact that can also be used for attacks. " Huai Kui said as he gestured, "Although this Waterfire Gourd can only store water and fire, its capacity is very large. It can store all kinds of powerful water and fire and release it to attack. Its power is endless."
"An ancient treasure." Ye Kong took the gourd and couldn't help but take a few more glances at it. He had never seen an ancient treasure before. Its power was probably astonishing. If he had this treasure, he might even be able to fight against Lu Zhen for a few rounds.
