Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

The aura emanating from the giant green snake gave him a sense of déjà vu, somewhat resembling that of the dead golden snake demon.

It seems this is the Green Snake Demon from the Calabash Brothers story!

Compared to her sister, the Golden Snake Demon, the Green Snake Demon is much stronger!

"Li Feiyu, you've gone too far!"

The enormous green serpent, churning in the void, suddenly transformed into a beautiful serpent with a human body and a snake tail, looking almost exactly like the Golden Serpent Demon. At this moment, however, it was glaring at Xiao Shan with eyes full of rage, and it also spoke out with its divine soul, roaring angrily.

"Heh, trying to get something for nothing? Dream on!" Xiao Shan sneered repeatedly, then withdrew his divine sense, too lazy to waste time arguing with him.

The battle of Hulu Mountain ended in victory for the Xianzhou River Water Mansion.

The mountain god of Huangni Ridge, who had reached out and killed the two demons of Hulu Mountain, was severely injured and would not recover for a short time. Even the Green Snake Demon, who wanted to be the one to suffer the consequences, was dealt a heavy blow and returned empty-handed.

Of course, there are also considerable hidden dangers. This time, the Xianzhou River Water Palace has thoroughly offended the Huangni Ridge Mountain God.

Before the demons under the jurisdiction of the Huangni Ridge Mountain God could recover their strength, they began to harass the Xianzhou River Water Mansion region. Battles broke out frequently between lesser and greater demons in the border area between the two forces.

The Green Serpent Demon was not to be outdone, and its minions also approached the border area between the two forces, putting considerable pressure on the demons on the border of the Immortal Continent River region.

After all, it is a great demon that occupies nearly ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Its strength and influence are not ordinary. It would be quite easy for it to cause trouble for the Immortal Continent River Water Palace.

Xiaoshan responded calmly to this.

His response to the Huangni Ridge Mountain God was quite simple: he secretly contacted the Hulu Mountain God, who was anxious but unwilling to accept that he would not get any benefits.

This person is definitely cunning. In the Calabash Brothers story, he was able to manipulate the two snake demons and the Calabash Brothers, making them follow his lead. You can imagine how deep his scheming and calculations are.

While Xiao Shan was still staying at Hulu Mountain, the mountain god of Hulu Mountain quietly visited him. The two whispered for a while and reached a secret agreement.

With the mountain god of Hulu Mountain acting as a covert force, as long as the mountain god of Huangni Ridge doesn't take the initiative to cross the line and make a move, there won't be much pressure on the Xianzhou River Water Mansion side.

Small-scale battles along the border are not a bad thing; on the contrary, they are a rare opportunity for the demons in the Immortal Continent River Basin to hone their combat skills.

As I said before, demon cultivators are different from human cultivators. In the early stages, they rely on constant battles to hone their skills and improve. As long as the intensity does not exceed their tolerance limit, the more frequent the battles, the more beneficial it is for both large and small demons.

Clearly, the current battle between the Huangni Ridge Mountain God faction and the demons of the Xianzhou River is just like that—not very intense, but very frequent.

As long as logistical supplies are adequate, the demons of the Water Palace are not afraid at all; on the contrary, they are very enthusiastic.

Even some monsters whose territories were not in the Huangni Ridge Mountains came to the Water Palace and volunteered to participate in the battle.

What a good subordinate!

As the boss, Xiao Shan naturally had no reason to refuse.

It's great that my younger brothers are eager to improve!

He simply switched to a rotational battle mode, dividing his various mountain and water demons into several groups to take turns fighting against the underlings of the Huangni Ridge Mountain God.

At the same time, fish and shrimp without intelligence from the main stream and tributaries of the Xianzhou River, wild beasts without intelligence from the mountains and fields, and various herbs for treating injuries were continuously sent to the border. Xiao Shan was not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person who did not care about the lives of his subordinates.

To be honest, with a powerful figure like Xiao Shan supporting them, the strength of the demons in the Immortal Continent River Palace is much stronger than that of the Huangni Ridge Mountain God lineage, who is severely injured and needs time to recover.

However, Xiao Shan showed no intention of making a move and strictly ordered his demon subordinates not to cross the boundary.

Putting aside the possibility of offending the Huangni Ridge Mountain God too much, that guy, feeling uncertain, might seek help from a stronger deity. In that case, Xiao Shan would probably only have the option of running away.

Besides the main mountain range, the Huangni Ridge mountain range has dozens of branch mountain ranges, and each branch mountain range has its own mountain god. If you accidentally kill the mountain god of any mountain range, it would be a great loss.

According to information privately revealed by the mountain god of Hulu Mountain, although the mountain god of the Huangni Ridge branch mountain range has very little power and is not even worth the attention of the bigwigs in Heaven, he will not allow outsiders to kill him at will, as it concerns the face of Heaven and cannot be taken lightly.

In other words, if a mountain god of a branch of the Huangni Ridge mountain range is killed, unless the Huangni Ridge mountain god goes to great lengths to smooth things over and establish a new mountain god in place before the Heavenly Court's inspectors discover the crime, the Heavenly Court will definitely not let the matter rest once it becomes known.

Especially in places like the Demon Realm, the majesty of the Heavenly Court is maintained by the mountain gods, and they are absolutely not to be ignored.

Obviously, the Seven Star Pill is only a possibility, and it may not necessarily fall into our hands. The Huangni Ridge Mountain God would certainly not spend a huge price to cover up the murder of his subordinate mountain god for the sake of a possible benefit.

To avoid any accidents, Xiao Shan naturally had to strictly control his demon subordinates, preventing them from crossing the boundary and potentially killing the mountain god of the Huangni Ridge branch.

Clearly, in order to preserve the opportunity to make a comeback, the Huangni Ridge Mountain God exercised great restraint, sending his subordinate demons to harass the Xianzhou River basin. The intensity of the attacks was kept within a moderate range, and gradually, he even developed a tacit understanding with Xiaoshan on the border.

No matter how miraculous the path of incense offerings may be, recovering from severe injuries is no easy task.

Xiao Shan was confident that it would take at least a year and a half for the Huangni Ridge Mountain God to fully recover. He felt that the disputes between the minor demons of Huangni Ridge could be put aside for now and that there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

However, the threat posed by the Green Snake Demon should not be underestimated!

He later learned that the toad demon, who had been killed by the snake and scorpion demons at the hands of the mountain god of Huangni Ridge, had escaped unscathed during the crisis and had run for nearly ten thousand miles without encountering any danger along the way.

He ran all the way to the Green Snake Demon's cave and lured this powerful demon, who had been eyeing him covetously, to Calabash Mountain.

No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense. If the toad spirit is not the problem, Xiao Shan would never believe it even if you beat him to death!

They traveled nearly 10,000 miles in a short period of just a few days.

The toad demon's strength is such that it would take a desperate effort to achieve this!

Not only that, but the monsters along the way must not intercept you!

No matter how you look at it, there's something strange about it.

The Green Snake Demon's methods were even more formidable. No one knew what tricks she used, but she managed to evade Xiao Shan's divine sense scan, and as a result, she managed to trick the Huangni Ridge Mountain God at a crucial moment.

After being forcefully suppressed by Xiao Shan, he actually said he was avenging his sister and brother-in-law.

If you're so enthusiastic, why don't you just go and wreak havoc in the lair of the Huangni Ridge Mountain God, instead of traveling all the way to Hulu Mountain to cause trouble?

Coupled with the toad spirit's abnormal behavior, the air of conspiracy is all too obvious.

The Green Snake Demon clearly also coveted the Seven Star Pill. Faced with such an ambitious and powerful being, Xiao Shan naturally showed no mercy and drove him away with force.

Clearly, the Green Snake Demon had no intention of letting the matter rest.

Conflicts and contradictions soon arose at the border between her sphere of influence and the Xianzhou River.

His crocodile demons were powerful monsters who wreaked havoc at the border between the two forces, harming many monsters in the Immortal Continent River Basin.

Xiao Shan is not someone easily dealt with.

It's true that he reached an agreement with the mountain god of Huangni Ridge, but he didn't reach an agreement with the Green Snake Demon, nor did he have a powerful backer that Xiao Shan was afraid to kill.

However, the Green Snake Demon also possesses formidable abilities. Whether it's the hairpin that can transform into eighteen kinds of weapons or the treasure pouch containing thirty-six kinds of magical artifacts, neither of them can be easily dealt with.

Of course, Xiao Shan is an exception. If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, he is confident that he can defeat the Green Snake Demon within ten rounds.

However, his demon subordinates were having a hard time dealing with the Green Serpent Demon.

Fortunately, this fellow was also wary and did not want to offend the Immortal Continent River Water Palace too much. He simply sent his crocodile demon subordinates as bargaining chips to fight the demons of the Immortal Continent River Basin at the border.

The reason why the Green Snake Demon is said to be more dangerous than the Mountain God of Huangni Ridge is simply because this fellow is too cunning.

After successfully launching a surprise attack on the Huangni Ridge Mountain God, the Green Snake Demon was then met with a warning from Xiao Shan. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Green Snake Demon immediately retreated, not giving Xiao Shan a chance to kill him directly.

This fellow has a variety of methods and numerous tricks up his sleeve, making him virtually impossible to guard against.

Unfortunately, the Golden Serpent Demon's magical treasures, whether it was the Magic Mirror, the Ruyi Scepter, or the Yin-Yang Sword, were either broken or taken away by the Mountain God of Huangni Ridge. Otherwise, Xiao Shan would have had a way to directly counter the Green Serpent Demon's many magical treasures.

The Green Snake Demon was also eyeing the Seven Star Pill covetously, which gave Xiao Shan a headache.

If the mountain god of Huangni Ridge were to join forces with her, Xiao Shan would not be afraid at all, but the gourd vine that had produced seven gourds might not be able to be saved!

Having spent a long time in the Demon Realm, Xiao Shan was quite familiar with this mainstream environment.

That's something I can't have, so I'd rather destroy it than let someone else benefit from it. That's how I am—harming others without benefiting myself!

After much deliberation, Xiao Shan realized that he shouldn't wait passively, but should take the initiative!

As the current master of the Immortal Continent River Water Palace, and with the Calabash Vine of Calabash Mountain located in the Immortal Continent River region, coupled with his own formidable strength, he can be said to have a significant advantage among the three forces, and there is no need for him to passively wait for the other two to make a move.

Moreover, based on the Calabash Brothers story, he also had some guesses in his mind, feeling that the Seven Star Pill was not so easy to make.

In the second part of the Calabash Brothers story, the Green Snake Demon tortured the Calabash Brothers to the point of near death and finally refined the Seven Star Pill. However, when she took a bite, she almost broke her sharp teeth.

Clearly, the method for refining the Seven-Star Pill in the Calabash Brothers story is incorrect!

With his current cultivation level, his gradual understanding of the rules of this world, and his contemplation of the seven gourds—which are both magical treasures and spirits—he had a bold guess and idea in mind.

Of course, ideas are just ideas; whether they are correct or not requires repeated testing.

Whether it's gaining the upper hand or verifying one's thoughts and guesses, the cooperation of the seven gourds is ultimately indispensable.

Hulushan!

The mountains are rugged and almost barren, with bare rocks of all sizes as far as the eye can see.

On a gentle slope at the edge of the area, a thatched hut stands out abruptly, so simple that it is completely out of place with its surroundings.

Any yokai with a normal brain can sense the incongruity between the thatched hut and its surroundings.

Even stranger, not far from the thatched hut, a gourd vine was growing well and had already flowered and borne fruit.

Judging from the lush green gourd vines, thick vines and green leaves, they have obviously been well cared for and are growing very well.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding bare rocks, it shines with vibrant life.

Seven small gourds have grown on the gourd vine. The larger ones are almost ripe, while the smaller ones are just beginning to grow. Against the backdrop of the lush green leaves, they shimmer with various colors.

The seven small gourds shimmered with a spiritual light and occasionally emitted crisp laughter; they were clearly sentient beings.

Don't assume that the Calabash Brothers aren't monsters just because they appear as little children in the story. The fact that the little demons in the story often call them Calabash Kings shows that the Calabash Brothers belong to the same category as monsters.

This is simply a fact. Apart from humans, all other races, whether animals, plants, or minerals, belong to the category of spirits and monsters as long as they develop intelligence.

After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve, it can evolve into a humanoid form, and that is a demon.

Those beings capable of transforming into human form are basically powerful demons!

So, don't be fooled by the cute appearance of the Calabash Brothers in the animation; all seven brothers are actually powerful demons!

It's just that plants, when they become demons, are not particularly bloodthirsty or violent. If they transform into human form, they are generally peaceful and can easily integrate into the human world, so they are not very annoying.

The seven little gourds on the gourd vine have been living a relatively comfortable life lately. Without the direct threat of the snake and scorpion demons, the mountain god of Gourd Mountain has changed his mind and naturally no longer plots against the seven little gourds, creating a tense atmosphere and forcing them to quickly transform and fight one by one.

Now they are all able to grow up well and don't have to worry about external pressure for the time being, so they are all very noisy and chattering all day long.

An old man with gray hair and a robust body walked out of the thatched hut with a smile, carrying a watering basin in his hand, and came to the gourd vine.

If Xiao Shan were here, he would definitely be able to clearly sense that there was a faint spiritual fluctuation in the water in the ceramic basin in the old man's hand; it was actually a basin of spiritual water.

No wonder the gourd seeds germinated, blossomed, and bore fruit so quickly. Not only had the gourd seeds accumulated enough energy, but the mountain god of Gourd Mountain, in disguise as an old man, also took meticulous care of them, and the mountain god's unique methods added to their benefits.

"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Seeing the old man coming, the seven little gourds shook happily, their clear voices echoing on the desolate hillside.

It's strange, but Xiaoshan had a big fight with the mountain god of Huangniling before, and even Hulushan, which was originally two crooked halves of a mountain, was directly turned into two flat mountain peaks.

The desolate hillside where the gourd seeds were planted remained completely unaffected; the lush gourd vines and the seven gourds hanging on them were still thriving.

Needless to say, this must have been the work of the mountain god of Calabash Mountain. Otherwise, even if the gourd vine and the seven small gourds were not greatly affected, they would at least have been injured.

Just then, a cloud slowly descended from the sky, revealing the majestic and magnificent shape of Xiaoshan.

"Old man, I have something to discuss with you, and the seven gourds!" He didn't stand on ceremony at all, dispersing the mist around him as he landed, and went straight to the point, "It concerns the seven gourds and the Seven Star Pill!"

"Oh, what does the River God want to say?" The old man put down the basin of water in his hand and asked slowly, "Could it be that the River God wants to steal the seven gourds?"

"Bad guy!"

"We brothers want to stay with Grandpa, you bad guy, don't even think about it!"

"You bad guy, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have great magical power. We brothers are not to be trifled with!"

……

The old man's suggestive words immediately provoked a strong reaction from the seven little gourds.

The seven small gourds shook violently, especially the largest one, which looked as if it might break off from the gourd vine at any moment. The clear child's voice was full of shock and anger.

"Don't get excited!" Xiao Shan said calmly.

His voice seemed to have a calming magic, easily soothing the seven excited little gourds.

Although hostility remains, it is not as intense as before.

This move startled the mountain god of Calabash Mountain, who widened his eyes but did not continue to provoke him, simply waiting quietly for what would follow.

"Old man, whatever your intentions were before, you can stop now!" Xiao Shan laughed. "Since you're not getting any benefits, you might as well explain things clearly to the gourds!"

"What did you say?" the old man said with some dissatisfaction. "With the strength of the little gourds, they have no chance of winning against either the Yellow Mud Ridge Mountain God or the Green Snake Demon!"
