This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 345 Demon Pirates
The vast mountains stretch for thousands of miles.

A lush forest stretches as far as the eye can see.

As the roar of the waves crashing against the shore behind them grew weaker, the two entered a lush, dense primeval forest.

"Tick, tick..."

It seemed as if it had just rained; on the lush green leaves, crystal-clear raindrops slid down like beautiful pearls, creating a faint and refreshing melody in the quiet and secluded forest.

The white figure suddenly stopped and turned around.

On the distant sea, where there was nothing but swirling mist when she arrived, a huge black island has now appeared, as if it were a giant serpent coiled around her, staring at her coldly and silently.

"This is Phantom Island. Only the demons of our Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons can see it."

The figure in black stopped and looked behind him.

A deep, cold light shone in her scarlet eyes: "In other words, you have been accepted by it, and you belong here."

“Every demon here belongs to its own clan. You are a member of the snake clan, so the island you see is a manifestation of a snake’s shadow.”

The white-clad figure withdrew its gaze and calmly repeated the words: "I am not a demon, I am human."

The black figure continued walking forward, its voice chilling as it said, "Your physical body is indeed human, but that doesn't matter. Once we merge, you will be a true demon."

The white-clad figure didn't speak again, glanced at the distant sea once more, and followed behind her.

After passing through the jungle, a river suddenly appeared ahead.

On the opposite bank of the river, miasma filled the air, and the trees began to twist. Then, a group of tree soldiers, clad in green armor and covered in roots, suddenly appeared in what was once a forest full of trees and shrubs.

The leader of the tree-men glanced at the two men, then led his group downstream.

Across the wide river, swirling mist, suddenly appeared an ancient wooden bridge covered in moss, spanning the two banks.

The black figure, accompanied by the white figure, walked onto the wooden bridge and reached the other side.

Heading west, the vegetation grows even denser.

The terrain began to descend steeply, and as the two emerged from the forest, a deep canyon suddenly appeared ahead.

The two entered the canyon and followed the stream forward.

Suddenly, several dark figures appeared ahead. Gradually, the figures grew larger and became clearer.

They turned out to be five black wolf demons with wolf heads and human bodies.

The black wolf demon is two and a half meters tall, with bulging muscles all over its body, an extremely large wolf head, a pair of sharp claws, and scarlet eyes, making it look exceptionally fierce.

"Huh, there's a human presence here?"

The black wolf demon leading the group, carrying a spiked club, immediately stopped and stared suspiciously at the two figures, one black and one white.

The other four black wolf demons also immediately drew their weapons.

The black figure spoke, "This is the physical body I brought back from a human country, nurtured by my divided soul reincarnated. I will soon merge with it."

The leading black wolf demon sneered, "Your snake clan's cultivation methods are truly bizarre. We don't know if they're true or not, so we need to check them out."

The figure in black said, "Phantom Island has been identified."

The black wolf demon sneered, "Who knows if you smuggled her in from somewhere else? We can't go to the border to confirm right now. The simplest way is to check on the spot."

The expression on the black-clad figure's face remained unchanged: "How do I examine you?"

"It's very simple."

The black wolf demon put down the spiked club on his shoulder and said, "Make her take off all her clothes. We want to see if she is really human. We also want to take a few drops of your blood essence so we can see if it can be fused."

Another black wolf demon behind him grinned and said, "Big brother, I've never seen a human body before. Today I'll have to see it and see if they have anything more than us."

Another black wolf demon laughed and said, "I've heard that human women's bodies are tender and fragrant, and even their bones are soft. I wonder if it's true. I'll have to smell them later."

The figure in black paused for a moment, then turned to look behind him and asked, "Are you willing to let them examine you?"

The white-clad figure remained calm: "Didn't you just say this was your physical body?"

A rare smile appeared on the face of the black-clad figure: "Indeed, this is our shared physical body."

She looked across at the other side and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to."

The leader of the black wolf demons' faces darkened, he bared his fangs, gripped his spiked club tightly, and said in a gruff voice, "As a member of the demon race, you should know the consequences of refusing inspection by the border black wolf guards!"

The black figure's crimson eyes revealed a faint hint of mockery: "Don't think that just because you're the lowest of the wolf clan, you're nothing. Even the royal fire wolf wouldn't dare to bare its teeth in front of me."

Upon hearing this, the black wolf demon's expression changed drastically, his gaze filled with surprise and uncertainty: "You are..." *Whoosh!*

The black figure remained silent, then with a flash of light, it transformed into a gigantic silver horned python. With a swift movement, a fire dragon erupted, instantly incinerating the five black wolf demons into ashes.

The temperature throughout the canyon suddenly rose.

The rocks on both sides melted into a molten lava, which then boiled and flowed down.

The white-clad figure looked at the scene before him, and for some reason, the blood in his body suddenly began to stir.

When a Black Wolf Demon Guard rushed to the scene outside the canyon, all that remained was solidified lava and the terrifying residual temperature in the air.

……

The town was exceptionally quiet at night.

After a busy day, people return home, and the whole family gathers around the stove, enjoying fresh seafood they just bought.

The streets seemed to be empty except for a few homeless drunkards.

Inside the inn, Song Erlang and his companions sat in the second-floor lobby, waiting anxiously from noon until nightfall, but the captain and the playboy did not return.

"Oh no, what if that kid kills the patient and gets the captain beaten to death too?"

Song Erlang sighed.

"Hey, that kid is so young, he looks like a playboy. I don't know why the captain would believe his nonsense."

Lu Jianchen also sighed.

"Wait a little longer. If there's still no news, we'll go out and look for them."

Master Wensong also frowned, looking worried.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone return, everyone got up and prepared to go downstairs to search for them.

At this moment, the shopkeeper hurried upstairs with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, Captain Wang just sent someone to inform you that they are having dinner at Zhang's house and will be back after they finish eating. Please eat your meal and go back to your rooms to rest."

"Having dinner at the Zhang family's?"

The group was taken aback upon hearing this.

Just as Song Erlang was about to inquire about the patient's delivery, the shopkeeper spoke up, beaming, "Gentlemen, your young master Hua is truly a miracle doctor! It's all over the place now. People say he can bring the dead back to life; he's a god descended to earth!"

Upon hearing this, the group was completely taken aback.

The shopkeeper continued excitedly, "I heard that when Young Master Hua went there at noon, Stone's wife had already died in childbirth, and the baby was still in her womb. When Young Master Hua arrived, he kicked the midwife aside and used his divine powers to not only revive Stone's wife but also deliver the baby. I heard that when the baby was first born, it didn't cry or make a sound and was already dead. But somehow, Young Master Hua did something, and wow! The baby actually came back to life and cried louder than anyone else!"

After hearing this, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

at the same time.

Luo Zijun and Wang Qiangzhuang were enjoying a steaming feast of delicacies at the Zhang family's house.

During this time, many people came to him for medical treatment, but the host, Old Zhang, politely turned them away.

"Young Master Hua is not going anywhere today; he will stay at my house. If he needs to see a doctor, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Old Zhang's face was beaming with joy, but his tone was cold and unfriendly. After saying these words, he smiled and said to the visitors, "My Shitou has a son, a big, healthy boy. Remember to come over for a meal in a few days."

Luo Zijun saved the Zhang family mother and son, bringing them back from the brink of death. This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire town.

"Have you heard? A miracle doctor came to town today. He's so young, but his medical skills are amazing. That Stone's wife, who had died in childbirth, was miraculously saved, and the baby in her womb also came back to life!"

As a result, many sick families in the town sent their relatives to invite him to see a doctor.

The Zhang family, including the father and son, and their relatives, were naturally extremely grateful to him. Zhang Shitou's mother even knelt down and kowtowed to him, crying and offering to serve him like a slave.

Hai Sheng, the middle-aged man who brought Luo Zijun and Wang Qiangzhuang along, also benefited from the situation. After drinking a few cups of wine, he began to boast about his relationship with Wang Qiangzhuang.

"Back then, I went out to sea with Captain Wang..."

Actually, on that occasion, when the large ship approached the waters of the Nine Islands Country, he and some sailors escaped back in small boats.

After a few rounds of drinks, Old Zhang spoke up: "Captain Wang, Young Master Hua, I'm afraid your trip to that sea area is not going to happen this time. Those large ships that went out to sea have been gone for several months and haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they've already..."

At this moment, his son Zhang Shitou suddenly said, "The last time they went there, I heard it was the Red Bird pirate ship. Yesterday I heard a fisherman say that the pirates seem to have returned."

"Red Bird? Demon Pirate?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiangzhuang's eyes lit up immediately.
