Chapter 37: The Fire Gun Tiger Head Demon

It took the four another day to enter the cave. The deeper they went, the more treacherous it became. After walking for half a day, they didn't see a single Black Star Sand Beast.

The path was winding, and they estimated they had walked about ten miles. At this point, even Qian Xing realized that this place could not be where the Black Star Sand Beasts defecated. However, since they had put in so much effort to dig through, they decided to reach the bottom and see what was there.

After walking a few more miles, they discovered that the cave walls did not have any traces of black earth煞气 (negative energy). The surface of the cave walls was very rough, suggesting that this cave might not lead to the outside!

As they continued walking, the ground was no longer hard rock but increasingly thick Black Star Sand. The grains of this sand were extremely fine, but once stepped on, they would sink in, exerting a strong suction force. To pull their feet out, they had to activate their mystical powers.

The group was greatly surprised!

With their abilities, they could walk on ordinary water for dozens of miles without their feet getting wet, but this black, extremely fine star sand had even less buoyancy than water.

After turning a large bend, an extremely shocking scene appeared before the four!

Bones—white, bone-chilling bones—filled a large pit that was thousands of feet long and wide. Green phosphorescence flickered, illuminating the entire cave!

As the four had guessed, this large cave did not lead to the bottomless wind cave outside. It was a graveyard for Black Star Sand Beasts!

This large cave was likely formed by dying Black Star Sand Beasts using their ability to dissolve rock into sand.

A dense yellow gas enveloped a third of the cave, emitting a pungent and foul smell. This yellow miasma was formed from the decay of the Black Star Sand Beasts' bodies.

"Look quickly!"

Qian Xing looked around and saw a large white skeleton near the corner of the cave. On the skeleton, there was a black horse about half a foot tall, and on the horse, a small yellow figure. The four eyes of the small figure and the black horse were as pure as red gemstones.

Seeing eight pairs of eyes focused on it, the small figure seemed to sense something and leaped down from the skull, which was as large as a small cart, and disappeared into the ground instantly.

"It's this!—" The three Lei people, who had previously shown no interest in the demon beast's core, were now trembling with excitement!

If they could capture this thing and present it to their sect as a main ingredient for an immortal elixir, the three of them would surely be valued by the sect. Even if their aptitude was a bit lacking, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage would be no problem. If they were lucky, they might even form a Golden Core!

"Although it has hidden itself, its spiritual root must be nearby. It turns out this thing is produced in the Black Star Sand Beast's graveyard. The Book of Strange Creatures is not entirely accurate. Reading ten thousand books is truly not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

The three Lei people's figures flickered, and they were already standing where the black horse and yellow figure had disappeared. They searched while expressing their amazement. The author of the Book of Strange Creatures had made a big mistake.

Just as the three were about to use secret techniques to search, a wave of heat suddenly appeared in the center of the demon beast graveyard. A scorching force emanated from the disturbance.

Two red flames suddenly appeared in the center of the demon beast graveyard.

The three Lei people were fine, but Qian Xing suddenly felt a sense of pressure. Deep in his consciousness, a message was transmitted.

Those two flames were "them," beings far superior to himself!

In their presence, he should prostrate himself in reverence and fear!

A series of clattering sounds followed as the two flames took on human form. Qian Xing's joints crackled, and his body automatically transformed into the form of a Chacha demon. His legs bent involuntarily, as if his body was about to kneel!

"Ah—"

With his legs already bent at a sixty-degree angle, Qian Xing forcefully used the Cold Ice Technique to regain control over his legs. His entire body felt as if countless small rats were scurrying around, and he coldly stared at the two tiger-headed, human-bodied figures, covered in yellow fur and burning with small flames.

"Turns out it's just a low-level demon!"

One of the tiger-headed, human-bodied figures spoke without concern, his tone as if a strong man had seen a small pug, which he could kick far away with a casual kick.

"Hellish language! These two are speaking Hellish language; they are demons from Hell!"

Since Qian Xing had chosen to transform into a Chacha demon, the simple Hellish language that suddenly appeared in his mind finally came in handy. He knew that the two tiger-headed, fire-covered figures were demons from Hell, and their rank was definitely much higher than his! Although the three Lei people had traveled to various planets in the cultivation world to gather rare herbs and items, they had only stayed in the mortal realm and had never been to the demon world.

Now, with Qian Xing's warning, they immediately understood that these were high-level demons, and thus, his transformation into a low-level demon had a natural suppressive effect.

Silver and yellow light flickered, illuminating the area around the four. The three Lei people had already activated the Hou Tu Talisman, and their magical treasures were floating above their heads, ready to defend against any sneak attacks from the tiger-headed demons.

The two tiger-headed demons, seeing that this low-level Chacha demon not only did not kneel in submission but also warned the three, were immediately enraged.

They had already decided to eliminate the four humans. One of the tiger-headed demons raised his hand, and several beams of fire shot out from his arm. As soon as they left his claw-like arm, they transformed into several flaming spears. Three spears headed for the three Lei people, while two spears aimed directly at Qian Xing, intending to eliminate this disrespectful low-level Chacha demon first.

Despite being inside the yellow light shield of the Hou Tu Talisman, Lei Yue and Lei Hai pointed their fingers.

The Five Spear Stab and the Hundred Claw Banner transformed into a silver light and a green light, intercepting the five rapidly flying fire spears!

The three Lei people were encountering demons from the Hellish plane for the first time and wanted to test the abilities of these legendary, extremely cruel high-level demons!

A loud "crackling" sound! The five rapidly flying flaming spears were shattered by the silver and green lights, creating several large fireworks!

Lei Yue and Lei Hai's faces changed, and the yellow turtle light shield retracted. The four quickly flew in four different directions!
