Scourge Messenger

Chapter 336 Blood Demon Sect Exchange Token

If the True Demon rewards the user with profound supernatural powers, then what are the rewards for the eight demons who descended with the True Demon?
Regardless of the reward, the Eight Demons are special demons that cannot be refreshed. In other words, in the official design, these eight demons are something that players need to compete for, and their rarity is second only to the True Demons!

In this instance, at most eight players can obtain the Eight Demons reward, and at most one player can obtain the True Demon reward. If Yan Qing obtains all the Eight Demons rewards, can he become a player who can solo the True Demon?
"I don't know, no one has ever dared to deal with the Eight Demons." Murong Hui scratched her chin. "When the time comes, you... well, when the time comes, you mustn't leave me and the little fox, you'd better hold us!"

"why?"

"Because you're too slow, when we run away, the two of us will take you with us, it'll be faster."

After stopping at a convenience store along the way to buy more snacks, they quickly found one of the eight demons: the Mountain Stone Demon.

It was truly hard to miss; it stood there in the middle of the road, like a rocky mountain suddenly appearing in the town, covered with weeds and fir trees. From a distance, it wasn't noticeable, but within twenty paces, at a height equivalent to three or four stories, they had to crane their necks to see the mountain demon's head, making them feel as if they had returned to childhood, overwhelmed by the fear brought by this colossal creature.

Murong Hui swallowed hard. It wasn't the first time she had observed the mountain stone demon up close, but the idea of ​​it as a tourist attraction and as an enemy were two completely different things. It was as terrifying as the story of Yu Gong moving mountains and discovering that the Taihang Mountains had stood up.

She grabbed Yan Qing's arm, looking nervous: "How about we switch heads?"

"No, I'll choose this one!" Yan Qing's eyes burned with determination.

Generally speaking, larger enemies are slower and are more likely to lack ranged attack capabilities, making them the type that Ascended Dragon Servants are most effective against! If they can't even defeat this type of enemy, they have no hope of defeating the other eight demons!
Yan Qing activated [Resurrection] on the Ascended Dragon Servants, and was about to command them to engage the monster when she discovered that her right hand was also being held by Ying Rushi. Her expression was extremely tense, her eyes fixed on the mountain stone demon, holding Yan Qing's hand tightly in her arms, as if she had really taken Murong Hui's joke to heart and was ready to run away with Yan Qing at any moment.

Although he didn't think he really couldn't escape, seeing Ying Ru so nervous... was quite cute.

"Don't be nervous," Yan Qing said. "I'm confident."

“Yes.” Murong Hui and Ying Rushi both nodded.

As the Ascended Dragon Servant grabbed the Mountain Stone Demon, the unprecedented Foundation Establishment battle in the Demon Gathering Land instantly began. The Mountain Stone Demon began to writhe violently, and the two emeralds in the rock suddenly glowed, causing the ground to tremble. It struggled to pull itself out of the ground, taking a full five seconds to stand upright. Its shadow alone was enough to cover Yan Qing and his companions!

At this point, the Ascended Dragon Servant had transformed into a Soul Dragon Servant, a Resurrected Dragon Servant, and a Primal Ascended Dragon Servant through [Resurrection]. Together with the other two puppets, they attacked continuously during the Mountain Stone Demon's opening animation, roughly estimated to have caused at least 20,000 points of damage, but it seemed to have no effect on the Mountain Stone Demon!
The mountain stone demon stretched out its arm, and its hand reminded Yan Qing of the giant teeth of an excavator bucket. With a gentle thrust, it inserted itself into the soil, without even a trace of broken rock, as if the earth itself was actively responding to its action.

boom!
With a sudden jerk, the earth shattered into countless fragments, like a landslide that engulfed all the puppets and even destroyed the surrounding houses. No one could stop such a devastating attack, which far exceeded the limits that mortals could withstand, like a catastrophe!
Yan Qing and the other two turned pale. It was only because they were far away that they were affected. Otherwise, they would have been hit as well. The defensive barrier might not have been able to withstand such a blow. They wouldn't even have had time to run away. The range was too large and the attack was too fast!
The resurrected dragon servant and the other two puppets died instantly, but the ascended dragon servant actually survived the attack, meaning that the wide-range attack dealt about two thousand damage. But the next moment, the mountain stone demon grabbed the ascended dragon servant and slammed it upwards.

The Ascended Dragon Servant was thrown out like a stone, crashing into the ceiling above to the horrified gazes of the crowd! As it fell, the Mountain Stone Demon made a 'pull' gesture, instantly accelerating the Ascended Dragon Servant's descent to its limit. It crashed down in less than a second, creating a huge crater in the ground. Even though Murong Hui and Ying Rushi immediately pulled Yan Qing away, they were still injured by the shockwaves from the fall, and all three of them were shaken by the impact.

Yan Qing's face turned pale. This was definitely a fatal blow with over ten thousand damage, and there was also follow-up area damage. With one mountain collapse and one throwing attack, the mountain stone demon had caused at least several thousand area damage in just two moves.

Only a puppet team with tens of thousands of members can possibly withstand this combo attack. Clearly, the Eight Demons are designed for fully developed players; those who are even slightly weaker don't even qualify to challenge them, and would only be doing all the work for others.

But when he saw the mountain stone demon slowly chasing after him, Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but clench his fists and let out a low roar. He won!

The four soul dragon servants continuously whittled down the mountain stone demon's health. As long as Yan Qing kept a distance of one hundred paces from them, they would never disappear.

This tactic wouldn't work in the game, since the Eight Demons are bosses that players fight over. Who would just stand by and watch you kite them? But in the Demon Gathering Lands, nobody is competing with him. Even if the Hundred Guards happen to come by, they would never dare to challenge the Mountain Stone Demon's authority!

The Soul Dragon Servant's damage output wasn't low, but the Mountain Stone Golem's health was simply too high. It took about four or five minutes for the Mountain Stone Golem to fall without incident, never even managing to touch Yan Qing and the others before dying. Keep in mind that the Soul Dragon Servant had several thousand attack power… meaning the Mountain Stone Golem's health was close to a million?
Seeing a demon king at least at the fifth level fall, even though they had expected it, the three of them couldn't help but hold their breath. Murong Hui pinched her cheek hard: "Am I dreaming? Eight demons were killed so easily?"

"Why are you pinching your own face, and not mine?!" Yan Qing grimaced, unable to block them, his hands still being held by them.

"So strong!" Murong Hui turned around and hugged Yan Qing. "We're amazing!"

What, you and the Ascended Dragon Samurai scored 81 points together?
Yan Qing didn't think defeating a short-legged fifth-tier demon king was anything special. After all, before his transmigration, he had watched players conquer the level 79 BOSS [Absolute Dragon Ice] in the Desperate Dungeon. The scene was truly spectacular. Although he hadn't played it, watching it was as good as him having done it. Just like casual players in the Elden Ring might admit that the Valkyrie was somewhat difficult, no one would think that defeating the Tree Guardian was something to celebrate.

However, upon further reflection, most Foundation Establishment cultivators in this desolate place, the Central Plains, are only at the fourth or fifth stage. Even if they achieve Foundation Establishment, they may never be able to defeat enemies like the Mountain Stone Demons in their lifetime. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Murong Hui would be so happy.

Moreover, Yan Qing was actually quite happy. He had only thought the tactical theory was feasible, but he hadn't expected that they could actually overcome a tenfold difference in combat power to defeat the Mountain Stone Demon. Seeing Ying Rushi standing to the side watching, Yan Qing's heart stirred, and he reached out to pull her over to celebrate.

Ying Ru blinked, her body tensed up at first, but quickly softened. The excited Murong Hui also reached out and hugged her. The three of them huddled together like fools, and even the distance between their hearts seemed to have narrowed a little.

At this moment, a ball of orange-red light flew from the mountain stone demon and landed in Yan Qing's flesh and blood cage bracelet.

"Come on, let's see what the Eight Demons have rewarded us with!" Yan Qing said excitedly.

The bracelet displayed three options, with the top one reading: "Please select your accessory."

"Ascension Altar: Obtain one [Flesh and Blood Ascension], and another one at the end of each two days."

[Flesh and Blood Ascension: Ascend a puppet]

"Jade Purification Bottle: Obtain three [Heal the Dead] cards daily."

[Saving Lives: Reviving a Fallen Puppet]

"Blood Demon Sect Exchange Token: Two Rank 4 Puppets Found"
