"Yes, I killed him!"
Pi Muer said honestly with a hint of pride on his face. "I am the descendant of Jamuka, the eagle of the grasslands. They can insult me, but they can never insult my ancestor!"
Ding Ning looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect this thin and small fellow to be a descendant of Jamuka. No wonder he dared to draw his sword in anger. Perhaps it wasn't for the beauty, but to defend the dignity of his ancestor, Jamuka.
The grasslands had always revered warriors. Pi Muer was only born weak and thin, but that didn't mean he was a coward. On the contrary, people like him might look weak on the surface, but they were actually as vicious and vicious as a jackal. The grassland man who had insulted him had probably never imagined that he would die at Pi Muer's hands.
This made Ding Ning feel a little interested in Pi Muer. "What happened after that? Did the girl you loved fly away with you? "
"No. That bitch, after she saw me kill that man, she yelled that Ah Muer had killed someone. I had to run away immediately, or else I would have been beaten to death."
Pi Muer's face was filled with grief and indignation. "That man was the son of our tribe's chief, and that woman was the chief's daughter. They were brother and sister. It wasn't until many years later that I realized that the woman did it on purpose. She wanted me to kill her brother so that I could become the chief's only heir."
Ding Ning was dumbfounded. It was bad enough that siblings were messing around, but he didn't expect that there was such a big conspiracy behind it. The seemingly simple grassland herdsmen were not so simple after all. They actually had such melodramatic love and hatred.
However, these things had nothing to do with him. He was interested in why Ah Muer had changed his name to Pi Muer, and how he had become the descendant of the Geomaster Faction.
"After that, I wandered the grasslands and begged for a living. One time, I accidentally saved Pirifu, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Perhaps it was because we were in the same boat, but I saw that his clothes were ragged and he looked like an old beggar, so I gave him the food I begged and carried him everywhere to find herbs to heal his wounds. I took good care of him for more than a month before he could walk again."
Pi Muer was immersed in his memories, and his face brimmed with an almost imperceptible warmth. That must have been his most cherished days. Even his tone softened. "Master was very good to me. He took me in as a disciple and treated me like his own son. He taught me the art of controlling insects and took me to all the famous rivers and great lakes to search for rare treasures. My life became different from then on. I was no longer of that of of Ah Muer …"
As Pi Muer spoke, Ding Ning was slightly moved. Strictly speaking, between Pi Muer and Pirifu, it was hard to say who owed whom more. After all, if Pi Muer hadn't taken care of him while enduring hunger, Pirifu wouldn't have survived.
But Pi Muer didn't feel that Pirifu owed him anything because of this. Instead, he felt that Pirifu had given him too much. He respected Pirifu as his own father and even changed his surname to Pi. Although this was partly because he had been treated coldly since childhood and had never felt the warmth of family, he had to admit that Pi Muer wasn't a bad person by nature. He was an extremely grateful person.
"Since you've made up your mind, I promise you that you can stay by my side, but you have the freedom to leave at any time."
Pi Muer's simple heart was touched by Ding Ning, and he decided to keep him for a while.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the chance to repay your kindness. Unless Master chases me out, I definitely won't leave Master!"
Pi Muer was overjoyed and solemnly knelt on the ground. He was about to bow when Ding Ning pulled him up and said unhappily, "I haven't finished speaking. What I need is someone who is absolutely loyal, not someone who kowtows at every turn. If you really want to stay by my side, don't call me Master in the future."
"What else can I call you if not Master?"
Pi Muer blinked his confused eyes and asked in confusion.
"What era is this? Master? I'm not a rich landlord from the old society. You can just call me Boss in the future!"
Ding Ning waved his hand in annoyance. He didn't want to waste his breath on this wretched looking guy who was actually extremely loyal to his bones.
"Yes, Boss!"
Pi Muer happily shouted and took the initiative to stand behind Ding Ning like a little follower.
Ding Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Pi Muer was a guy who seriously lacked love. If anyone treated him well, he would want to "devote himself" to them. It seemed that Ding Ning would have to find an opportunity to find a wife for him in the future so that he could live a stable life. It could also be considered as removing an unstable factor for society and accumulating some merit.
"That's right, Boss, are we really not going in? The gate is about to disappear, and that old mister from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is still inside. "
Pi Muer looked at the illusory gate that was about to disappear and asked with some worry.
"There's no rush!"
Ding Ning said without the slightest care. Pi Muer grunted and tactfully stopped asking. He knew that his boss was not an ordinary person. Since he was not worried, he naturally had his reasons.
Ding Ning secretly nodded with satisfaction. Pi Muer's character was not bad. If it were someone else, they would definitely get to the bottom of the matter and try to get to the bottom of it. However, this guy was tactful. He didn't even explain, and Pi Muer unconditionally carried out his orders according to his will. He knew what to ask and what not to ask. He already had the potential to be a trusted subordinate.
If Pi Muer's strength was a bit stronger, then on the basis of ensuring his absolute loyalty, it might be possible to entrust him with heavy responsibilities. But one could know a person's face but not his heart. It was difficult to draw a tiger's bones but to draw a tiger's skin. No matter how extravagant his words were and how sincere his feelings were, Ding Ning wouldn't completely trust him right now. He would have to see Pi Muer's future performance before making a decision.
As for the gate to the Middle Palace, it might be the only opportunity for others to enter. But for Ding Ning, who had already found the eye of the Middle Palace, he could easily enter through the eye of the formation at any time.
However, the sudden opening of the Middle Palace gave him a strange feeling that he was about to walk right into the trap. It gave him a very bad feeling.
Hence, even if he was very worried about Tian Xuanzi's safety, he wouldn't simply enter the Middle Palace before he figured out what kind of array formation it was and found a safe way out.
As the saying went, sharpening the axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood. Understanding the theory behind the array formation and finding a safe way out for himself was the best choice. Otherwise, once everyone was trapped in the array formation, they wouldn't even have the chance to escape. That would be the most unwise choice.
As for the ownership of the three treasures, Ding Ning didn't care about it at all. Putting aside whether the three treasures were really in the Middle Palace, even if they were, who could guarantee that they could bring them out alive? Even if they could bring them out alive, wasn't he still here to guard them? He didn't plan to let anyone take away the three treasures that could hide from the Heaven's Will. They belonged to the Divine Prefecture and other than himself and Tian Xuanzi, he wouldn't feel safe leaving them in anyone else's hands.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Earth Dragon King was finally done with its evolution. Its body was golden and it looked like a golden worm that was brimming with wealth. It intimately rubbed its head against Ding Ning's leg, trying to please him.
Ding Ning rubbed its head and activated his Absolute Touch to modify its genes.
This place gave him a vague sense of uneasiness. Thus, he wanted to improve the Earth Dragon King's strength as much as possible so that he could gain more leverage for himself.
Now, there were only him and Pi Muer alive in the entire underground palace. Pi Muer could be considered as half of his people now, so he wasn't afraid that Pi Muer would expose his secret.
"Hiss!"
The Earth Dragon King let out a painful roar, its huge body writhed madly.
Forcibly modifying its genes brought it great pain, but it had an instinctive feeling that whatever the person it felt close to was doing to it would bring it great benefits. Therefore, even though the process was painful, so much so that it was almost unbearable, it still convulsed and did not resist.
Ding Ning nodded in satisfaction. His divine sense connected with its muddled consciousness and pacified its slightly violent emotions. The modifications continued without a break.
He didn't modify it according to Pikachu's genetic map. Instead, he modified it according to the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor's genetic map. Although the physical body of a Golden Dragon was unparalleled, he felt that in this strange tomb, a Dark Demon Dragon with a comprehensive strength that was half physical strength and half magical power would have more combat power.
Secondly, he possessed the three dragon crystals of the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor. Back then, he used the Kun Peng Transformation to devour the three heads of the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor. However, because he hadn't awakened the Kun's devouring ability, he couldn't digest the three dragon crystals that contained all of the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor's essence, so he stored them in the water space.
Thirdly, the Earth Dragon was originally a dark creature that walked underground. In terms of attributes, the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor's evolution direction might be more suitable for it.
Thus, Ding Ning changed his mind at the last minute and nurtured the Earth Dragon King in the direction of the Dark Demon Dragon Emperor's evolution.
Pi Muer was dumbfounded, and his jaw almost dropped. Although he had tried his best to overestimate Ding Ning's abilities, he still felt an unprecedented shock in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have underestimated the abilities of this mysterious boss.
As the inheritor of the Book of Insects, Pi Muer was naturally very clear about the evolution forms of the Earth Dragon King. Being able to nurture it into a Dark Gold Black Dragon was the highest achievement in the history of the Geomancer Faction. It was even recorded in the Book of Insects to inspire future generations.
However, what did he see now? He only needed to place his hand on the Earth Dragon King's head, and the second-form dragon king that had just completed its initial evolution began its evolution journey again. It directly evolved into a Purple Gold Boa Dragon that directly evolved into the third stage. Its entire body emitted a purplish-gold luster, and its thick skin actually grew dense light purple scales. It was shaped like a giant python.
However, this was just the beginning. After that, the Purple Gold Boa Dragon let out a painful roar, and its eyes, nose, and whiskers grew. Its purple scales quickly turned dark gold, and in a short time, it had become a creature that was exactly the same as the Dark Gold Black Dragon recorded in the Book of Insects.
However, this was not the end. Pi Muer swore that he had definitely witnessed a miracle that no one in the Geomancer Faction had been able to achieve since ancient times. The Earth Dragon King had transformed into a serpent. It was not a fake serpent like the Dark Gold Black Dragon, but a true serpent.
The Earth Dragon King only maintained the Dark Gold Black Dragon state for a short few minutes before it began to evolve again. Its huge wart-like tail exploded with a bang, and fresh flesh and blood began to grow continuously. In the blink of an eye, it turned into the legendary dragon tail. Its crawling body kept wriggling, and two ghastly white bone claws broke out of its skin, transforming into dragon claws at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it was not for the fact that its spine, which was covered in black patterned scales, suddenly split open, and a pair of fleshy wings unfurled, and only two front claws grew out, not completing the final transformation of the dragon race, Pi Muer would have suspected that Ding Ning had created an ancient Eastern Divine Dragon out of thin air.
Ding Ning sighed and let go of his hands. His face was slightly pale. He did not expect that modifying the genes of the Earth Dragon King would consume so much life energy. It caused the energy in his Dantian, which had not fully recovered, to be used up again. He could no longer maintain it, and had to stop the evolution.
