Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 353: Treasure, Miracle Medicine

"I am Jin Renfeng, the general of the Dao League who fights against bandits. I am here to take you back to the Dao League territory and get rid of the demons who are hunting you down."

"Don't struggle."

Jin Renfeng shouted loudly.

With the spread of magic power, the sound spread widely, and birds within miles were startled.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked up and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a Taoist in a yellow robe standing on the clouds.

"It turns out that the Dao League sent people to rescue us."

"Finally saved."

After stabilizing the dozen or so villagers, Jin Renfeng immediately controlled the chains to pull everyone onto the clouds.

Then he separated out a separate chain, tied up the body of the lion demon, and then headed towards the direction of Nutao City.

. . . . . .

After flying for dozens of miles, Jin Renfeng and his group arrived at Nutao City.

"Who is going to invade our Raging Waves City?"

As soon as we entered the city, a dozen soldiers rushed up from the top of the city wall and came up to question us.

The golden phoenix stopped the cloud and waited quietly.

At this moment, not only were there more than a dozen people around him, but there was also a demon king tied under the clouds.

It is normal that the guards did not recognize him.

The soldier flew up to the clouds and saw that it was Jin Renfeng himself, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"So it's the general who has returned. I am sorry for my poor eyesight."

"It's okay! Ignorance is not a crime!"

Jin Renfeng waved his hand.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, a dozen soldiers immediately made way.

Passing over the top of the city wall, the golden phoenix flew towards the south of the city.

Because the previous garrison site was destroyed, the large military camp has been moved from the center of the city to the south.

"Brother Shenxian, aren't you a Shenxian? How did you suddenly become a general?"

Mo Xueyang on the side asked curiously.

"Monk is my own identity, while general is my position in the Dao League. The two cannot be confused."

Jin Renfeng explained with a smile.

"You will understand all this when you enter the Dao League in the future."

Mo Xueyang nodded. Although he didn't fully understand, he also wrote down the name of the Taoist Alliance.

Arriving above the camp, Jin Renfeng pressed down the clouds and landed towards an open space.

The golden clouds slowly descended and disappeared as they approached the ground.

The huge lion demon body landed first, followed by a group of villagers.

After floating in the air for a long time, some villagers almost fell to the ground when they landed on the first day of the lunar new year. Fortunately, they were helped by people nearby and finally stabilized their bodies.

"This is the City of Raging Waves. There is a large army stationed here to protect it. It is much safer than the cities in the south."

Jin Renfeng turned around and introduced.

"You can stay here. If you don't want to, you can go to the city in the north on your own."

"We'll know."

Everyone said in unison.

Jin Renfeng nodded.

At this time, Li Hu came up quickly with several soldiers.

"General! Why did you bring back so many people after your patrol?"

Seeing so many ragged people in the camp, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, Li Hu's eyes twitched for a moment.

"These are the people who fled to the south. When I was patrolling just now, I happened to see them being chased by a lion monster. I sent the lion monster away and brought them back."

Jin Renfeng laughed.

"So that's it."

Li Hu nodded, his expression slightly relaxed.

"When I saw so many people coming from the sky, I thought it was a monster attacking us!"

"Our soldiers are dedicated to their duties. It's not easy for them to be beaten here by monsters!"

Jin Renfeng laughed teasingly.

Li Hu smiled and said yes, then turned around and looked at the villagers beside him.

“I wonder how to arrange for these people?”

"Now they have nowhere to go, and we can't just ignore them."

Jin Renfeng said casually.

"We have a lot of vacant houses in Jingyun City, so why not allocate a few houses for them to live in."

"Housing is not the problem, the problem is food."

Li Hu said in a deep voice,
"In this Nutao City, the civilians have already migrated away. Only our human army is left. There is no place to buy food even if we want to spend money."

“How will they survive if they stay in this city?”

"food?"

Jin Renfeng came to his senses and he almost forgot about this.

"Since there is no food supply in the city, we can just divide some of the food needs from the army's supply."

"We have a thousand men, and we don't need more than a dozen people for food and fodder."

Jin Renfeng opened his mouth and gave orders.

"That's appropriate."

Li Hu nodded.

Although distributing the army's food and fodder to civilians was somewhat against military regulations, he was not an ordinary person, so this small problem could be easily solved.

Afterwards, Li Hu left with a group of villagers.

Seeing that the villagers had been found, Jin Renfeng turned around and called a few soldiers to move the lion demon to the prison in Nutao City.

Because monsters often appear, every city’s prison has special cells for holding monsters.

The cell was more than ten feet long and wide, and the huge body of about two feet in size did not seem crowded at all even when thrown in the cell.

After putting the lion monster's torso in place, Jin Renfeng dispersed all the soldiers and casually released a stream of red true energy, which hit the lion monster's head.

"Uh--"

Under the healing effect of the Shuangquan Hands, the lion demon slowly woke up.

"woke up?"

Jin Renfeng sat on a wooden chair nearby and said in a cold voice.

"Now that you're awake, tell me your origins!"

Glancing around, the lion demon immediately understood his situation.

"A mere human wants me to betray the demon race. It's impossible."

The lion demon roared wildly.

"I advise you to be sensible and let me go as soon as possible, otherwise my king will come and cut you into pieces."

"Judging from your strength, you should be around the Demon King. So, the king above you should be the Great Demon King."

Jin Renfeng said lightly.

"The several great demon kings in the south are all well-known figures. I wonder which one is your king?"

"My king is the Southern Barbarian King who roams the southwest. If you know how powerful he is, please let me go quickly."

The lion demon said proudly.

"The King of the Southern Barbarians?"

Jin Renfeng turned his head away with a strange look on his face.

"Now the Nanman army has been severely damaged by our human race and suffered heavy losses. Even the troops guarding the city are stretched to the limit."

"Why would he send you demon kings to that remote place to occupy a barren mountain?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"What kind of remote place is this? Where is it..."

At this point, the lion demon suddenly stopped talking. "Why don't you continue? Could it be that your king is a nameless waste?"

Jin Renfeng provoked him.

"Damn human, I almost fell into your trap."

The lion demon gnashed his teeth in hatred.

He was so excited just now that he almost told the clan's secret out loud.

"You reacted pretty quickly. I thought you were going to keep talking!"

Seeing the lion demon come to his senses, Jin Renfeng showed a look of regret.

"But I advise you to hand over the information honestly, so as to avoid suffering."

"You cunning fellow, from now on, I will never reveal even a shred of information to you, so just give up on this idea!"

The lion demon roared angrily, then closed his mouth tightly.

Jin Renfeng's eyes flashed coldly as he threatened,

"If you are determined not to cooperate, then I can only use some means to force you to give out specific information."

"I'm not afraid of torture. If you have the ability, just give it a try."

The lion demon roared, and his neck stiffened, looking as strong as iron.

Jin Renfeng almost laughed out loud.
If this lion demon really didn't want the information to be leaked, he should have committed suicide immediately.

He only cut off his hands and feet, but he didn't seal his magic power. If you want to commit suicide, there are many ways to do it.

The lion demon pretended that he would rather die than reveal any information, but he did not dare to commit suicide immediately.

It's basically saying, torture me quickly, as long as you don't kill me, you will get the information sooner or later.

Shaking his head slowly, Jin Renfeng was too lazy to care about the lion demon's little thoughts. He shook his wrist and a golden light shot out from his fingertips and hit the lion demon's head.

Under the heavy blow, the lion demon fainted immediately.

Then, Jin Renfeng stood up, flipped his hand, and a blue energy flew out from his palm, covering the lion monster's head.

Compared to the information obtained through torture, he trusted the memory he gained by reading with both hands more.

Enemies may lie, but memory cannot.

Carefully controlling his true Qi and looking through his memories of the past few months, Jin Renfeng soon made a discovery.

The blue true energy was like a scalpel, aiming at the relevant memory fragments and extracting them.

A golden light flew out from the soul and landed between the eyebrows of Jin Renfeng.

. . . . . . . . .

In an unknown forest.

The lion demon sat cross-legged on a huge rock, bored. In front of him was a transparent barrier like water waves.

There is also a huge tiger demon next to it, leaning against a big tree.
"Why did the king ask us to come all the way here?"

The lion demon said,

"I have been in this poor mountain valley for such a long time, and I have set up such a large-scale concealment formation, but in the end I didn't see anything."

"Don't you feel the abundant spiritual energy in this mountain?"

The tiger demon asked back.

"What's wrong with abundant spiritual energy? There are many places with abundant spiritual energy in our southwest. What's so strange about this?"

The lion demon shook his head, looking confused.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for what you did this time."

The tiger demon said mysteriously.

"I heard that a treasure has appeared here. That's why the king came all the way here to attack this human territory."

"Treasure? Our king is the top demon king. In the Southern Kingdom, his status is second only to the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King. He has all the treasures he wants. Why would he need to come to this remote place to look for treasure?"

The lion demon was puzzled.

"What do you know!"

The tiger demon snorted.
"Can the treasure that the king likes be just ordinary stuff?"

"How do you know the details of that treasure?"

The lion demon became interested, stepped forward and asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

The tiger demon chuckled.

"The king guards the treasure very closely. No one knows about it except for a few trusted demon kings on the top of the mountain."

"You still look so serious!"

The lion demon rolled his eyes.

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run!"

The tiger demon said.

"The one that the king values ​​so much must be no simple person."

At this point, the tiger demon looked around carefully, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered,
"I guess what's hidden on the top of the mountain must be a magical medicine that can allow the king to break through to the Demon King realm."

"A magical medicine to break through the demon king?"

The lion demon widened his eyes.
"Is there such a thing in the world?"

"Why else would you say that the king came all the way here and hid in this ravine?"

The tiger demon asked back.

The lion demon was immediately speechless and unable to refute for a moment.

. . . . . . . . .

"No wonder the Southern Barbarian King attacked the human race for no apparent reason. It turns out he has set his sights on the treasures in the human territory!"

In the prison, after checking the memory, Jin Renfeng murmured.

He felt that the battle was a bit confusing from the beginning.

In recent times, there have been almost no conflicts between the human race and the southern demon race, but these southern monsters just came straight to the door.

He mobilized tens of thousands of troops right from the start, showing an all-out effort.

"It seems that the so-called war and the capture of the city are just smokescreens released by the Southern Barbarian King in order to deceive the human race and quietly take away the treasures in the mountain."

Jin Renfeng thought to himself,
"But the magic medicine to break through the demon king? Is there such a thing in the fox demon world?"

He stroked his chin, feeling somewhat skeptical for a moment.

Relying on the memories of his previous life, he knew many secrets of the fox demon world.

But from beginning to end, he never saw such a treasure.

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. If there really is a magic medicine that can help you break through the Demon King realm, it will be troublesome if it falls into the hands of the Southern Barbarian King."

Jin Renfeng looked worried.

At present, there are only two demon kings in the entire human race, one is the master Dongfang Guyue, and the other is Wang Quan Shouzhuo, the head of the Wang Quan family.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo was still a sickly man and had almost no ability to fight.

The only one who truly possesses the fighting power of the Demon King is Master Dongfang Guyue.

At the same time, the demon clan has four complete demon kings. Except for Fan Yunfei who has even forgotten the power of the demon king, the other three demon kings have perfect magic power and are in their prime.

Perhaps in terms of conventional combat power, the human race has a numerical advantage, but once the demon king's combat power is taken into account,
The human race lags behind any demon nation in almost every aspect.

The fact that humans and demons can now maintain a balance is almost entirely due to the fact that the four demon kings of the demon race are relatively pure-hearted and have no intention of attacking humans.

If this ambitious King of the Southern Barbarians were to obtain the magic medicine and defeat the Demon King, the balance between the human race and the Southern Kingdom would definitely be broken, not to mention the other three kingdoms.

At that time, the war between the two tribes was almost imminent.

"No matter whether the treasure in the mountain is a magical medicine or not, we cannot let the Southern Barbarian King obtain it as he wishes."

Jin Renfeng stood up and paced back and forth in the prison.

The best way to stop the Southern Barbarian King is to immediately notify Elder Li, mobilize the army, and forcibly seize the treasure.

However, Jin Renfeng had some concerns in his heart.

At present, the lion demon is unwilling to reveal the information. If he directly reveals the matter of the Southern Barbarian King to Elder Li, the other party will definitely ask him about the source of the information.

At that time he couldn't explain it.

In this fox demon world, the ability of the double hands to read memories is too taboo, so he has been using it secretly without letting anyone know.

Without revealing the Shuangquan Hand, he would not be able to explain the source of the information clearly, and would not be able to gain Elder Li's trust.
