Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the two demons and one person went through more than ten battles, two of which were extremely dangerous. Yueye Niannian and Lu Yan were also injured many times, but fortunately, their lives were not in danger.

"Once we cross that canyon ahead, we'll be mostly safe," Yueye Niannian said to Lu Yan, pointing ahead.

"But I still feel like something's not right. I hope I'm just overthinking it," Lu Yan said hopefully, shaking his head.

"You didn't think much of it. Although there weren't many magical beasts in this place before, there were countless poisonous insects of all kinds."

But look at us now, there's not a sound at all. I'm afraid there's an even greater danger waiting for us." Yueye Nian Nian looked warily into the canyon, her gaze cold.

"So what do we do now?"

"wait."

"wait?"

"That's right, those demons who colluded with the Swamp Demons definitely don't want us to go back alive, so they will definitely set up an ambush here. I want to know who betrayed my race." Yueye Niannian's tone was full of anger.

This operation was undoubtedly a disastrous one; even a powerful race like the Moonlit Demons suffered significant losses.

Yueye Nian Nian led Lu Yan and Yueye Tian Tian to a secluded spot, where they hid to observe the situation inside the canyon.

Five days passed without any movement. On the sixth day, Lu Yan saw a demon general from the Crimson Flame Demon Clan secretly investigating the situation.

Now everything is clear.

The fact that the young master was seriously injured while searching for the Phantom Night Star Flower is probably because it was part of a pre-planned scheme.

They probably didn't expect the Swamp Demons to encounter the Earth Sac Demons, which indirectly saved the Moonlit Demons.

"Second Miss, what should we do now?" Lu Yan asked Yue Ye Niannian, who was standing to the side.

"Let's pretend nothing happened and take a detour out of the mountains." Yueye Niannian did not lose her mind because of this. Instead, she calmly led Lu Yan and Yueye Tiantian to find another way out.

After spending another two days avoiding all kinds of magical beasts and insects, the man and the two demons finally arrived at the edge of the Three-Part Mountain.

Just as Lu Yan was getting excited, a powerful divine sense swept over him.

Demon General!

Such strength is no ordinary Demon General.

"Haha~ I was originally planning to wait for Yueye Rouzi and the others, but I never expected that these two little demon generals would be so lucky as to escape from inside. It's truly an eye-opening moment for the demon gods." A familiar voice drifted in the air.

"Salamander and eel filth!"

The familiar voice made Lu Yan and Yue Ye Niannian instantly guess who it was.

The earth demon had already swallowed him whole, yet it didn't kill him!

In an instant, the salamander appeared in front of Lu Yan.

However, he looked rather miserable now, with one arm and one leg missing, and his face covered with wounds.

His aura was also significantly weaker than before; he must have paid a considerable price to escape from the Earth Demon's mouth.

"Haha~ Four demon generals and more than two hundred demon generals died. We were just thinking about how to go back and explain ourselves when you delivered yourselves to our doorstep. Taking you back will be a way to make amends." The wounds on Ni Shan Zhuo's face were already terrifying, but now his laughter made him even more frightening.

"Run!" Without a second thought, the man and the two demons fled for their lives.

"Run? Two demon generals and one demon soldier, do you think you can escape from me?" Ni Shan Zhuo said calmly, his words full of sarcasm.

He took a light step forward and reappeared on Lu Yan's path.

"Come with me!" The remaining right hand of the salamander stretched forward, and a huge hand formed from magic grabbed at the man and the two demons.

"A shooting star pierces the moon!"

"A Galaxy of Stars!"

"A desperate gamble!"

Seeing this, Yueye Nian Nian frantically swung the spear in her hand, unleashing her magic.

But such an attack was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree when it hit the giant hand; it had no effect whatsoever.

"Still struggling?" Ni Shan Zhuo shook his head slightly.

"Clang~" Just as Yueye Nian Nian was resigning to her fate, a huge light screen blocked the giant hand that was attacking.

"Click~"

"Boom!"

Ultimately, the giant hand and the light curtain shattered simultaneously.

"Huh? What is this?" Ni Shan Zhuo was somewhat incredulous, not expecting that they had a way to block his attack.

Looking at the burnt Xuan Guang Talisman, Lu Yan felt a pang of heartache. He hadn't expected that his third-tier defensive talisman could only block one attack from the Ni Shan Zhuo.

"Second Miss, you should rest for a bit, I'll take care of it." Pulling Yue Ye Nian Nian behind him, Lu Yan faced the salamander alone.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I never expected that a demon soldier like you would have a treasure to withstand the Demon General's attacks. It's truly unbelievable." Ni Shan Zhuo looked at Lu Yan curiously and then asked, "I wonder how many blows you can withstand?"

As he spoke, another large hand materialized in the air and then swung down at Lu Yan.

"Condense!" Lu Yan used another Xuan Guang Talisman, and then took out a Thunder Breaking Talisman with his other hand.

Lu Yan knew that with his current strength, no matter what kind of attack he used, he could not hurt Ni Shan Zhuo. He could only rely on talismans and props.

"Click~"

"Boom!"

The giant hand and the Xuan Guang Talisman perished together once again, but Lu Yan took advantage of this opportunity to use the Thunder Breaking Evil Talisman.

"middle!"

Lu Yan pointed his finger, and countless bolts of lightning struck the salamander.

"ah--"

Caught off guard, the salamander was caught off guard by Lu Yan's unexpected move and was struck squarely.

Thick white smoke billowed from his body, accompanied by screams of agony.

Already severely injured, he was struck by the Thunderous Evil-Slaying Talisman, which worsened his condition, causing his aura to plummet once again.

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to move, he launched a second Thunderous Evil-Breaking Talisman.

Before it could catch its breath, the salamander saw the familiar lightning strike again, and was filled with fear and dread.

"ah--"

Screams rang out again, mixed with the aroma of meat. Even a seventh-level demon general was struggling to withstand the continuous attacks of thunder.

"Damn it, he's still alive!"

There were only three Thunderous Evil-Breaking Talismans left, and two of them had already been used. Lu Yan hadn't expected the salamander to be so tenacious.

Helpless, he could only take out the last Thunderous Evil-Slaying Talisman and painfully use it on the salamander.

"Ah—no—"

The third time it was struck, Ni Shan Zhuo was filled with despair, feeling as if its body was gradually disintegrating.

They watched helplessly as their flesh and blood turned to ashes, completely powerless to do anything about it.

All it could do was let out a defiant roar.

Ultimately, it disappeared into the world.

"Phew~ It's finally dead." Seeing that the salamander had completely turned to ashes and not even a hair was left, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After using two Mystic Light Talismans and three Thunderous Evil-Breaking Talismans in a row, Lu Yan felt his heart bleeding.

Damn, that's such a waste!

What am I going to do in the future?

"Lu Liu, I never expected you to have such a treasure!" Yueye Niannian and Yueye Tiantian looked at Lu Yan with shock in their eyes.

"That's all the way I had to save my life. Now I've used it all up." Lu Yan shrugged helplessly.
