Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 356: Chaos Energy, Natural Spirit Treasure

"The human race is pressing hard now, and our army is losing ground. If some more time passes, I'm afraid even the road to this side will be blocked."

The Southern Barbarian King shook his head.

"But with this gourd, everything is fine."

"My lord, I think this gourd has nothing special to it except that it can emit white mist."

The fox demon was puzzled.
"Although the white mist can corrode the escape light, there are countless exotic flowers and plants in our southern country, and there are some that are better than this gourd."

"Why do you value this thing so much?"

"What do you know!"

Hearing this, the Southern Barbarian King snorted coldly.

"This gourd appears to be a spiritual plant, but in fact it is a natural spiritual treasure."

"No matter how good those flowers and plants in the south are, can they be better than this spiritual treasure of heaven and earth?"

"A natural treasure? What is this?"

The fox demon was puzzled.

"Although you have followed me for a long time, your knowledge is still too shallow."

The Southern Barbarian Way.

"Most of the magic weapons you and I hold are made by weapon refiners who have collected various precious materials and refined them using talismans and secret methods. They are all acquired."

"However, there is another kind of magic weapon in this world, which is created by the creation of heaven and earth and is innate. It is also called a natural magic weapon."

"This kind of magic weapon uses the universe as a furnace, absorbs the spiritual energy of the universe, and collects the essence of the sun and the moon. It can be said to be a masterpiece of nature."

"After a magic weapon is formed, it usually needs to be nourished by the holder with demonic power to exert its strongest power."

"This natural spiritual treasure was created by heaven and earth and has been nurtured by heaven and earth for countless years. It can exert tremendous power as soon as it is born."

As he spoke, the Nanman King pointed to the purple-gold gourd above him and said,

"Look at this gourd. Even now, when it hasn't taken shape yet, the chaotic energy it exhales is enough to corrode the Great Demon King's protective light."

"Once it takes shape, this magic weapon will definitely be at the level of a demon king."

"With the help of this magic weapon, my combat power will definitely be further improved. Then defeating the human race will be a piece of cake."

At this point, the Nanman King smiled triumphantly.
“That old man Li would never have imagined in his dreams that I have hidden such a huge treasure right under his nose.”

“It turns out that what is produced here is not the elixir that can help you break through the Demon King level, but a natural spiritual treasure of the Demon King level.”

In the corner of the lake, Jin Renfeng suddenly realized what the Nanman King said.

"No wonder the Southern Barbarian King values ​​this place so much."

Although the demon race is not good at using magic weapons, if they can obtain high-level magic weapons, they can still improve their combat power.

With the current combat power of the Southern Barbarian King, who is at the peak of his power as the Great Demon King, and with the assistance of the Demon King's magic weapon, he is definitely a powerful Demon King.

"So the white mist is the so-called chaotic energy. No wonder it is so powerful."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

The energy of chaos is the primordial energy before the creation of the world in legend.

It is the origin of all things, the source of heaven and earth. It can both evolve and absorb all things.

Magic power, flesh and blood are all within its evolution, and will naturally be swallowed up and absorbed by its instinct.

"Speaking of which, natural spiritual treasure, gourd, chaotic energy, why do they sound a bit familiar?"

Jin Renfeng thought for a while and suddenly remembered that the magic weapon that Li Zizai, the eldest son of the Li family, would use in the future was a natural spiritual treasure, the Chaos Purple Gold Gourd.

The gourd was extremely powerful. Li Zizai used its chaotic energy to nourish an Unfixed Flying Knife.

During the trip to the Southern Kingdom, he locked the poisonous energy channels of the Poison King with his first move and blocked the attack of the Great Demon King.

"Could it be that Li Zizai's magic weapon originated from here?"

Jin Renfeng glanced at the huge purple-gold gourd on the vine, and recalled Li Zizai's magic weapon in his previous life. For a moment, he felt that the two were quite similar.

“If I hadn’t intervened, it’s possible that this gourd would have fallen into the hands of the Li family.”

Jin Renfeng couldn't help but imagine the original timeline in his mind.

If he had not intervened, by now, the Yang family would have collapsed long ago. Without the Yang family, the Li family would have no choice but to rely on the Wang Quan family.

No one was competing for the position of leader, and the Wang Quan family no longer had hostility towards the Li and Yang families. The three families stopped fighting and made peace, and united against the outside world. With the strength of the Dao League, dealing with a Nanman King was no problem.

As a result, the gourd naturally fell into the hands of the Dao League. It was only natural for the Li family to obtain it.

"But from what I remember, Li Zizai's gourd is probably only at the peak level of the Great Demon King. This Southern Barbarian King said that this gourd is a natural spiritual treasure at the level of the Demon Emperor. What's going on?"

Jin Renfeng was somewhat confused.

"The king is wise. He retreated to advance, leaving several empty cities to the human race and occupying this great fortune himself."

The fox demon complimented from the side.

"This move is also helpless. Originally, the king wanted to maintain the defense line in the Qingfeng City area and firmly control this mountain within the area occupied by our side."

The Southern Barbarian Way.

"But we didn't expect that in our haste, we fell into the enemy's trap, resulting in heavy losses for the army."

"It was impossible to defend this area. In the end, we had no choice but to give up a few cities."

"Fortunately, we took the initiative to withdraw, and the human race did not find out the abnormality of Hulu Mountain. We took advantage of it."

"It is because of your great fortune that you have this opportunity."

The fox demon laughed.

After being flattered, the King of the Southern Barbarians could not suppress the pride in his heart.

"Of course! The opportunities I have are not comparable to those of ordinary people."

"That old man Li thought I was defeated, but he didn't know that I was just avoiding him temporarily. After I obtain this treasure, I will make him pay the price."

Hearing this, Jin Renfeng was shocked.

He had guessed correctly before, the Southern Barbarian King was indeed eyeing the human race. If he got the purple gold gourd, he would definitely attack the human race.

"No matter whether the gourd is the magic weapon of the Great Demon King or the Demon Emperor, we must not let it fall into the hands of the Southern Barbarian King."

Jin Renfeng made a secret decision.

"But how can we stop the Nanman King?"

According to the previous plan, Jin Renfeng intended to find out the intelligence of this place, and then persuade Elder Li to let the front-line troops return and encircle and attack the mountain together.

In this way, they could take advantage of the fact that the King of the Southern Barbarians had no helpers and defeat the enemy with a larger force, and they could also seize the Chaos Purple Gold Gourd to increase the strength of the Taoist Alliance.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But according to the fox demon, the purple gold gourd will be born in these two days.

Maybe it will be the next moment, or maybe it will be the next day, it could happen at any time.

At this time, maybe as soon as he left to inform the army, the purple gold gourd would appear.

At that time, even if he brought back a large army, he would only run into the King of Southern Barbarians who possessed the magic weapon of the Demon King.

Even with Elder Li and an army of tens of thousands of cultivators, I'm afraid they would end up being completely wiped out.

Therefore, Jin Renfeng had to change his plan.

"It's too late to go back and inform them now. I might as well stay here and see if I can snatch the magic weapon from the Nanman King."

Looking at the purple-gold gourd in the air, Jin Renfeng's eyes were determined.

For him now, this is the only option.

He was unable to notify the army at the front, and the purple gold gourd was about to take shape. Only he who was here had the opportunity to seize the magic weapon.

"With this lake formed by the chaotic energy blocking my way, the Southern Barbarian King cannot find my trace at all."

"With the help of space magic, I will definitely beat the Southern Barbarian King in terms of speed."

"Once the purple gold gourd comes out, I will have a great chance of getting it before the Southern Barbarian King."

Jin Renfeng said in his heart.

"Space travel, this time it's up to you!"

"Let me see your limits!"

. . . . . . Falling Star City——

Looking at the army that was cleaning up the mess, Elder Li's face was gloomy.

This time, the demon clan did not give up the city directly, but fought the human clan with real swords and guns!
Obviously, the human race had the advantage in military strength, but the demons managed to turn the battle into a draw with their desperate momentum.

Even if it was the Great Demon King, he still used the same method.

The King of the Southern Barbarians was not present this time, but there was another great demon king from the Southern Kingdom who was here to preside over the situation.

In the end, both sides suffered losses, and the demons retreated and gave up the city.

It can be said that this city was not conquered by humans, but was given up by the demons.

"Now that Luoxing City has been recovered, together with Jinyun, Nutao, and Qingfeng, four cities have been successfully recovered."

"As long as we capture Shan'an, Danxia, ​​and Yanglan, we will completely recover the lost territory."

Seeing Luoxing City being recovered, Li Changsu showed joy.

"But our military strength was dispersed again, so we could not gain much advantage against the 7,000 demon soldiers guarding here."

Elder Li said calmly.

Seeing that the elder looked unhappy, the smile on Li Changsu's face slowly faded.

"After seeing the situation today, I finally understood why the Southern Barbarian King voluntarily gave the city to us."

Elder Li said leisurely.

"He's forcing me to divide my forces!"

Li Changsu thought for a moment before he reacted.

After replenishing the troops, the human race originally had more than 14,000 troops. Even if the defenders on the surrounding defense lines were taken into account, there were still more than 12,000 troops.

Dealing with these thousands of demon soldiers was a complete crushing effort.

However, as the human race occupied the three cities of Qingfeng, Nutao and Jinyun, the army had to split into three teams to guard the newly acquired cities.

After sending out 3,000 troops, the human race's strength was reduced to about 9,000. Although it still had some advantages, facing the 7,000 demon troops, the advantage was no longer obvious.

"Elder, are you worried about the lack of troops?"

Li Changsu asked tentatively.

Elder Li nodded.

"Although the demon army suffered heavy losses, their morale is intact."

"If the next three cities are like this, our losses in this battle will not be small."

"How about withdrawing the soldiers from the next few cities?"

Li Changsu suggested.

"With the reinforcements from those cities, it won't be too difficult to defeat the demon tribe."

"no!"

Elder Li shook his head and said slowly.

"If we withdraw the garrison troops from the rear, these monsters will definitely take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our rear cities."

"Once these monsters roam around and fight, the situation will become even more chaotic."

"Is the elder worrying too much?"

Li Changsu said,

"The total strength of this southern barbarian army is only about 7,000 soldiers. How can they have extra troops to attack my army from behind?"

"During today's battle, the King of the Southern Barbarians did not show up at all. Instead, there was an additional Grand Elder of the Southern Kingdom, Lady Gai."

Elder Li said leisurely.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"What does the elder mean?"

Li Changsu said uncertainly.

"The Southern Barbarian King is cunning and treacherous, and he will never do anything meaningless."

"He didn't show up this time, which clearly told us that as long as we mobilize our rear forces, he would immediately attack our rear alone."

Elder Li said.

"With his great demon king-level strength, it would be easy for him to do this."

Li Changsu looked suddenly enlightened.

Because of the strange behavior of the Southern Barbarian King not showing up, and the lack of information, he easily accepted this speculation.

After all, this guess is too reasonable. No one would have thought that the King of the Southern Barbarians ran away to obtain a magic weapon.

"This move is indeed treacherous!"

"He hasn't shown up yet, so we have to be distracted to guard against this great demon king. We can't use our full strength in battle."

Li Changsu said,

"This is his overt plot, we have no choice but to accept it."

Elder Li said,.

"We are currently missing one of our Great Demon Kings. I have already reported to the alliance and asked them to dispatch a Great Demon King expert. I think we will have news in the next few days."

Hearing this, General Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"If there is someone to help, I think this time it will be much easier."

. . . . . .

Shan'an City——

After leaving Luoxing City, the demon tribe retreated back to Shan'an City.

"Where did that bastard Nanman King go?"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a panda wearing a green robe and holding a staff was furious.

"He asked me to come and help him in the battle, but now that I'm here, he, the landlord, is hiding and not showing up. What kind of logic is that?"

"Reporting to the elder, my king has important matters to attend to, so he needs to leave for two days."

The snake demon in a high crown and robe stepped forward and explained.

"What could be more important than the current battlefield situation?"

Gai Laotaijun glared,
"He just walked away on his own. I still have to clean up this mess for him."

"Are you his subordinates or mine?"

"The king said that our Nanman tribe and the Gai clan are both members of the Southern Kingdom. There is no way to tell one from the other."

The snake demon smiled bitterly.

"If the Southern Barbarians suffer heavy losses, the Southern Kingdom's military strength will also be weakened."

"As the saying goes, lips and teeth are interdependent. I hope that the old lady will look after us for our past friendship."

"As for why he left, he will give you a satisfactory explanation when he comes back."

Old Lady Gai was so angry that she was shaking, and the only remaining strand of hair on her head turned into waves.

"Okay! Two days is enough! I want to see what he can say to me."

As she said this, she sat down on the main armchair, making a muffled sound.

. . . . . .

In the lake formed by the chaotic energy——

Jin Renfeng has been waiting here for six hours.

During this period, the Southern Barbarian King and the fox demon did not leave. Obviously, they were also afraid of missing the opportunity for the purple gold gourd to take shape.

Through observations during this period, he had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the fox demon surrounding the Southern Barbarian King.

Probably at the level of a demon king, he poses no threat to him.
