After repeated questioning, Zhou Sen realized that the best demon core like the one he had was extremely rare. If he wanted to obtain such a demon core, he would have to kill the silver-armored demon, and he didn't know how many soldiers would be killed or injured.
In fact, the number of warriors who can obtain this kind of top-grade demon core upgrade is extremely rare, and most warrior upgrades rely on diligent training.
In addition, promotion is not as easy as Zhou Sen imagined. Although a top-quality demon core can directly advance humans to the berserker level, after reaching the berserker level, if they want to upgrade again, the number of demon cores required is very small.
For example, to advance from a berserker to a magic warrior, you need at least ten top-quality demon cores.
In the Demon Core Continent, ten top-quality demon cores are simply unparalleled existences. Even a divine warrior cannot easily hunt down ten silver-armored demons...
…
Ten!
Zhou Sen's heart moved. He had at least more than 80 top-grade monster energy stones in his body. In other words, he could promote five ordinary humans to become magic warriors.
"I'll give this demon core to you now!" Zhou Sen lit a candle and handed the top-grade demonic beast energy stone to Yao Zhi.
"Send...send...send...to...me..." Yao Zhi stammered and looked at Zhou Sen, thinking he heard wrongly.
"certainly."
Yao Zhi took the demon core with trembling arms. He was so excited that he forgot to thank him. Then, he hurriedly took the demon core into his hand and began to absorb the powerful energy of the demon core.
A magical scene appeared.
Yao Zhi seemed to have a very unique cultivation method, which could quickly absorb the energy of the demon core. In just a few breaths, Yao Zhi's body began to undergo obvious changes. First, there were colorful clouds wrapping around his body, and then, colorful
The mist entered his seven orifices, and immediately after, Yao Zhi's skin kept changing with a layer of faint light. During the flow of light, Yao Zhi's temperament changed obviously, and there was a trace between his eyebrows.
The wild and powerful aura and the weak body seemed to contain endless power.
"Monk, it's strange. Those high-level monsters in the Dark Forest that produce top-quality energy stones are not very powerful. Why are the monsters that also produce top-quality monster cores so powerful?" Zhou Sen was a little confused.
"Brother, who said the monsters in the Dark Forest are not powerful? Let's just talk about those red bulls. They are no less powerful than those black-armored monsters."
"Why don't I feel it?" Zhou Sen shook his head. In his memory, Red Bull was a bit stronger. In terms of combat power, compared with the black-armored demon, it was worlds apart.
"I've got you! Where is the Dark Forest? It's a place restricted by the gods. Some high-level monsters can only exert only one-tenth of the power. If there is no restriction, the monsters here are nothing! Think about it
, a herd of red bulls can easily number hundreds, and they are all black-armored demon-level beings!"
"Grandma, then I'm so lucky." Thinking of the battle with the Red Bull in the Dark Forest, and thinking about the powerful fighting power of the black-armored demon, Zhou Sen couldn't help but gasped. If any Red Bull had that
With the fighting power of the black-armored demon, Zhou Sen would have been dead long ago.
"Your luck is already incredible, but this time your luck seems to have come to an end. This Demon Core Continent is a dangerous place at first glance. Not only are there some demons that you can't defeat, but also those demon warriors and gods.
Soldiers are not something you can defeat. You should be careful and find a way back to the Han Empire as soon as possible. This place is a ferocious place and is not suitable for us to live permanently."
"Don't worry, I have a way!" A confident smile flashed across Zhou Sen's lips.
After everyone ate something, they settled down.
The candles had been extinguished and the cave was dark, with only the faint moonlight shining through the entrance.
At this time, Yao Zhi's cultivation seemed to have reached a critical juncture, and the wind surrounding his body was flowing faster and faster, like a violent storm.
"ah……"
Yao Zhi stood up suddenly and let out a deep roar. The air waves caused by the roar swept through the cave, and some gravel fell "rustlingly" from the cave wall, which was astonishingly powerful.
At this time, Yao Zhi's mental temperament was completely different from that at the beginning. His whole person looked full of indomitable domineering, and his bare arms were full of strong strength.
"Yao Zhi, how do you feel?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Thank you hero... benefactor!" Yao Zhi plopped down and knelt in front of Zhou Sen.
"What level of berserker have you reached now?"
"At least he has reached the seventh level of Berserker." The excitement and gratitude in Yao Zhi's eyes was hard to describe.
"Well, after a while, I will give you another demon core, allowing you to reach the highest level of berserker and attack the demon warrior." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"Ah... thank you, Yao will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life... No... no... I will be a cow and a horse in this life..."
Yao Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and kowtowed to Zhou Sen desperately. A top-quality demon core was already a dream. He never dreamed that when he met a noble man when he went out, he would actually give him two top-quality demon cores. This was even better than pie in the sky.
Zhou Sen gave away the monster energy stone casually, but he didn't know that in the Demon Core Continent, the value of a top-quality monster core is extremely valuable. Its importance far exceeds the power of the monster energy stone in the Han Empire.
the importance of
"Zhou Sen, what a trick. This kid Yao Zhi has gained hope from you and will definitely be loyal to you. However, a top-quality monster energy stone is worth a lot of money. It is worth giving it to such a young boy.
Isn't it a bit worth the loss?" Shi Danling had a pained expression on his face.
"We have just arrived and know nothing about the Demonic Core Continent. Moreover, we don't know when it will be until we can answer the question of the Han Empire. Therefore, it is necessary to bribe a group of people to work for us. As for the top-grade Demonic Beast Energy Stone, it is no longer of use to me.
It’s very big. When I return to the Dark Forest in the future, I can have as many as I want.”
"That's true."
"Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen..." In the darkness, Shen Huimin moved to Zhou Sen's side, exhaling like a orchid.
"Yes, Huimin." Zhou Sen dismissed Shi Danling's consciousness, put his arm around Shen Huimin's slim waist with one hand, and held Shen Huimin's tender cattails with the other, and responded gently.
"Zhou Sen, I..."
Feeling Zhou Sen's caress, Shen Huimin couldn't help but shed tears. Finally, the pain was finally over!
"Don't cry, aren't we all fine?" Feeling the warmth emanating from that soft body and smelling the fragrant hair, Zhou Sen felt extremely warm, as if he had returned to the hut in the Shen Jiadong compound.
At that time, he and Shen Huimin cuddled together like this until dawn.
"snort!"
In the darkness, Yue Ning's cold snort sounded, and then there was another rustling sound, as if Ruo Xianxian was pulling Yue Ning.
Thump, thump, thump...
Just as Yuening and Ruo Xianxian were entangled, suddenly, a strange sound came from inside the cave.
"It's a corpse demon!" Yao Zhi, who was concentrating on practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ah... zombie..." Yuening jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, ran behind Zhou Sen who was near the entrance of the cave, and hugged Zhou Sen's arm tightly, her delicate body trembling. But Shen Huimin next to her,
She was so angry that she kept calling her a bitch secretly.
"Didn't you also sprinkle anti-body powder in the cave?" Zhou Sen asked Yao Zhi.
"My anti-corpse powder is the cheapest. It's not very effective. It can only protect against the lowest-level corpse demons. It has little effect on some evolved corpse demons."
"Evolved corpse demon?"
"Yes. Normally, at night, the corpse monsters will go out to absorb the superpowers of the world. Only the evolving corpse monsters will lurk in the cave. My roar just now may have alerted it. It's okay, I'll kill it.
"Yao Zhi is full of confidence.
"Are you sure?"
"I am now a berserker. Except for black-armored demons and above, I can kill them all!" Yao Zhi raised his strong arms with excitement on his face. He never dreamed that he would go from being a beginner to a beginner overnight.
The super warrior jumped to the level of berserker.
"Be careful."
Zhou Sen took out a top-quality monster energy stone. Immediately, the dark cave was illuminated by the urging light of the monster energy stone.
Yao Zhi glanced at the top-quality monster energy stone in Zhou Sen's hand, swallowed, and strode towards the cave.
At this time, through the light of the monster energy stone, we can see that deep in the cave, there is a confused black figure staggering over, walking like a baby, but its steps are
It is extremely heavy and powerful, and through the faint light, you can see that the corpse demon's nails reflect a heart-stopping light.
Gradually, the black shadow got closer.
People discovered that this black shadow was different from the corpse monsters with chaotic eyes outside. Its eyes had some sparkle and were not lifeless. Moreover, its body did not have disgusting carrion, but had transformed into new muscles.
"Has this corpse demon evolved?" Zhou Sen asked.
"It hasn't completely evolved yet." Yao Zhi shook his head.
"What will happen after evolution?"
"It will create a sense of autonomy, and the body will look more toned and powerful. As it evolves, some vital parts of the body will be covered with a layer of cuticle scales, which makes it extremely resistant to blows."
"How long does it take to evolve to the level of a black-armored demon?"
"I don't know the specific time, but it should be difficult, because although there are a lot of black-armored demons, they are not too many for the entire Demonic Core Continent. As for the silver-armored demons and golden-armored demons, even more
rare."
"Understood, kill it." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Um."
Yao Zhi drew out the short sword from his waist and strode towards the approaching corpse demon.
brush……
Without any suspense, the dagger in Yao Zhi's hand directly penetrated the corpse demon's head.
Seeing Yao Zhi's sword, everyone was shocked. The young man's movements were powerful and extremely fast, as clean as lightning.
"Hahaha, I am a berserker now, I can kill the zombie demon!" Yao Zhi danced happily.
"Have you ever learned swordsmanship?" Zhou Sen asked with a frown.
"yes!"
After questioning, everyone understood that children in Starlight City began to learn various fighting skills at the age of six. This learning continued until the coming-of-age ceremony was held at the age of fifteen. After the coming-of-age ceremony, as long as they hunted a corpse demon
, and gained the title of junior warrior.
Starlight City holds a coming-of-age ceremony on the first day of every month.
The coming-of-age ceremony is extremely cruel. After completing the coming-of-age ceremony, many teenagers will leave Starlight City to hunt down the zombies immediately and obtain the Medal of Honor as a junior warrior.
And during this hunting process, countless children will die.
However, this custom also exercises the willpower of the young people, and those who survive are the ruthless characters with strong minds.
However, there are many unfair aspects to this custom. In Starlight City, many rich and powerful families and forces will provide weapons for children who are coming of age, and even some demon cores that can be promoted.
If you have good weapons, it is not difficult to kill an ordinary wight.
For some children from poor families, the casualty rate is several times that of children from rich families.
Yao Zhi is a child from a poor family.
Today, if it were not for Zhou Sen, there is still a question whether Yao Zhi would be able to complete the task. After all, this is the feared Demon Corpse Ridge, and the number of corpse demons gathered here has reached 100,000.
After killing the corpse demon, Zhou Sen extinguished the candles, and the cave became extremely quiet. Outside the entrance of the cave, there would be corpse demons passing by from time to time. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the corpse demons fell on the cave and swayed unsteadily, and the cold wind
Bursts, creepy.
Because Yao Zhi was around, everyone could not talk much and rested quietly.
Taking advantage of the silence, Zhou Sen began to practice the first stage of the "Wisdom of Mind" realm. The name of the "Wisdom of Heart" is a bit special. It has the same name as the third stage of "Invincible Secrets". Zhou Sen realized that
, this realm is definitely very important.
After completing the cultivation of the final "power" realm of the Mighty Realm, Zhou Sen has not had the opportunity to properly cultivate the realm of Wisdom Heart.
Soon, Zhou Sen practiced in order from "quietness" in the realm of majesty to "strength", and then entered the realm of wisdom heart, and the wonderful feeling spread in every cell of the body in an instant.
Different from the surging power in the past, the state of "wisdom heart" does not seem to be of obvious help to the tyrannical power, but a wonderful and subtle change. That change exists in every blood vessel, pore, and every pore of Zhou Sen.
inside a cell.
This is somewhat similar to Jing, but not quite.
Zhou Sen felt as if his body had turned into a sophisticated machine. This machine was running at high speed, providing changes to the surrounding environment.
The raging corpse energy outside the cave.
Those corpse monsters without consciousness.
The tyrannical power of Yao Zhi.
Everything was under Zhou Sen's subtle control. This wonderful feeling spread out like ripples, and Zhou Sen's brain began to calculate rapidly.
At this time, Zhou Sen remembered the knowledge that he had not used for a long time.
The computing power of scientists.
Lu Ax’s fly chopping skills.
Chef Peng’s Scar Ding Jie Niu.
Brother Hao’s killing skills...
…
Knowledge gathers like rivers and then merges together to form a vast ocean.
This feeling always exists, making those memories become more and more profound, as if it happened yesterday.
It turns out that the so-called "wisdom mind" state is actually to strengthen the memory in the brain, and then to perfectly combine all kinds of knowledge.
During this kind of practice, Zhou Sen felt a sudden enlightenment, and many problems that were originally unsolvable were solved.
Zhou Sen didn't know that while he was practicing, Shi Dan, the leader of the Shentai world, looked surprised, because he saw that the Shentai world became wider and wider, and the entwining atmosphere became thinner and thinner...
A night of silence.
In the morning, the dazzling sunlight shines in from outside the cave.
After everyone finished cleaning up and went out, looking around, everyone couldn't help but gasped.
They were standing on a huge mountain range. The mountain range stretched with no end in sight. It was full of rugged rocks and unreachable peaks, occasionally mixed with some rushing rivers. Some of the rocks were barren and bare. Occasionally there was a tree.
A large tree can easily reach dozens of feet in diameter, and the vast area is so dark that it stretches for dozens of miles, making people unable to see the light of day. Occasionally, the roar of a ferocious beast can be heard that shakes the sky, making people feel horrified.
Above the mountains, there is a gloomy wind.
Looking at the endless rolling mountains, Zhou Sen, who is used to seeing famous mountains and rivers, couldn't help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
No wonder this place is called Demon Corpse Ridge. Judging from this sinister environment, it is definitely suitable for demons to live and practice.
What is reassuring is that the corpse demons that filled the mountains and plains at night disappeared without a trace.
"Yao Zhi, are all the corpse demons hiding in the lair?" Shen Huimin asked curiously.
"Yes." Yao Zhi nodded and replied.
"Since the corpse monsters are hiding in their lairs during the day, why don't humans hunt the corpse monsters during the day and obtain the monster cores?" Shen Huimin asked in confusion.
"In those lairs, there are always hundreds of corpse demons gathering together. Who dares to enter the lair to hunt the corpse demons! Moreover, the lairs of those corpse demons extend in all directions. Once you get lost, you will be doomed." Yao Zhi said with a bitter smile.
"I see. By the way, are zombies afraid of sunlight?"
"It's not that scary. Many high-level corpse monsters can move during the day. They are just used to moving at night, just like us humans are used to moving during the day."
"Why are you carrying the corpse demon's head? It's disgusting." Yue Ning looked at the corpse demon's head in Yao Zhi's hand and asked.
"I have to get the first level before I can exchange it for the Junior Warrior Medal. Only after I get the Junior Warrior Medal can I be qualified to participate in the assessment for the higher-level Warrior Medal."
"oh……"
The group of people walked without taking a ride, and finally arrived at Starlight City in the afternoon.
Starlight City!
When people stood under the majestic Starlight City, they all exclaimed in exclamation. Even Zhou Sen, who served in Wuchao City, had a look of shock. Standing under the walls of Starlight City, everyone felt a sense of wonder.
A feeling of insignificance.
Is this a city?
The city wall of Starlight City is at least twenty feet high, towering into the clouds. If it weren't for the huge boulder clearly visible, people would have mistaken it for a natural cliff.
Under the city wall, you can't see the soldiers on the wall at all. You can only judge from the light of the weapons reflected by the sun that there should be soldiers patrolling above.
The city gate is open, and there are dozens of big men wearing armor and holding huge shields standing under the huge city gate like an iron tower standing half-standing. The dazzling sunlight shines on their armor, reflecting a heart-stopping metallic light, and in their hands
The spear was cold to the bone.
Although Zhou Sen and his party were dressed in strange clothes, they did not encounter any difficulties when they entered the city.
After some inquiring, Zhou Sen found out that people from other cities often come to Starlight City to do business. There are dozens of various human races, and strange costumes are not uncommon in Starlight City.
In the Demonic Core Continent, because humans have a common enemy, the human world is unprecedentedly united. The guards mainly prevent corpse demons from sneaking into the city. They basically ignore real humans, and humans have a very free range of activities.
The group of people was taken home by Yao Zhi.
"What are you doing back here?" Yao Zhi asked when he opened the door and saw a cold, burly man cleaning the room.
"I'm here to pay your tuition... Have you participated in the coming-of-age ceremony?" The big man suddenly saw Yao Zhi holding the corpse demon's head in his hand. He was furious, his thick eyebrows raised, and his ferocious momentum was overwhelming and suffocating.
"You don't need to worry about it. I'm an adult and I naturally have to attend the coming-of-age ceremony. Could it be that I'm a waste who only knows how to study?" Yao Zhi snorted coldly.
"Don't get that bullshit medal!"
The big man stepped up to Yao Zhi's side and grabbed the corpse demon's head in Yao Zhi's hand. However, the big man did not succeed because Yao Zhi was not satisfied with his speed. He just dodged the big man with a slight sway.
"Berserker!" The big man stared at Yao Zhi with a dumbfounded expression.
"Of course, I have reached the level of a berserker. As long as I take the assessment, I can get a medal of the berserker level. By then, everyone in Starlight City will respect me, and I will no longer need your care." Yao Zhi.
He said with a proud smile.
"You think the Berserker is great!"
The big man snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly surged. A pair of arms rushed toward Yao Zhi like a big bird. His hands spread out, transforming into countless arms, completely covering the small room.
"There is no need for us to take action."
Seeing the imposing manner of the big man, Shen Huimin pulled out an alchemy talisman and wanted to help, but was pulled back by Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen saw that Yao Zhi and the big man had vaguely similar faces. Judging from their conversation, they should be direct relatives.
.
Everyone watched Yao Zhi and the big man fighting in the room outside the door.
The big man was extremely agile, his speed was lightning fast, and he was extremely precise when moving. In this narrow space, his lightness and agility were in great contrast with his tyrannical body. With just a few pounces, he could catch
After catching Yao Zhi, he grabbed the corpse demon's head, threw it to the ground, and crushed it to pieces under his feet.
"Ah... you... you... you crushed my corpse demon's head... I hate you, I hate you!" Yao Zhi roared hysterically at the big man.
"I can support you!" The big man seemed to be poor in words, so he just said coldly. Then he cast his eyes on Zhou Sen outside the door, "Who are they?"
"They are my friends, I don't want you to worry about them!" Yao Zhi knelt down next to the corpse demon's head that was trampled into meat and howled loudly.
Looking at Yao Zhi's heartbroken look, Zhou Sen realized at this moment that although Yao Zhi was tall, he was actually still a fifteen-year-old child who had just attended his coming-of-age ceremony.
"Friend!" the big man repeated, as if he didn't take the word friend seriously, and even sneered at it.
"Yes, friend." Zhou Sen nodded, with a smile on his stern face. He could feel the violent power in this big man's body. When interacting with such a person, without distinguishing between friend and foe, it is best to
Stay friendly and wait and see.
"My brother is only fifteen years old. He doesn't need friends." The big man said every word.
"Yao Zhi is your brother?" Zhou Sen was stunned. This big man's age looked more like Yao Zhi's father.
"Yes." The big man's answer was simple.
"Since you are Yao Zhi's brother, it is necessary for me to tell you that Yao Zhi has agreed to let us live here."
"I didn't agree."
"Okay, return the best demon core to me, and we'll leave immediately."
"The best demon core!" The big man's face suddenly changed color.
"right."
"Did you use the best demon core to advance to berserker?" The big man stared at Yao Zhi angrily.
"Yes... yes..." Yao Zhi did not dare to look into the big man's eyes and lowered his head, as if he knew he had made a mistake.
"Don't you know that the best time is for a third-level warrior to use the best demon core?" The big man wanted to slap Yao Zhi hard in the face.
"Know……"
"I know you're still wasting it?"
"I...I'm...afraid...that I can't protect the demon core."
"You... you... okay, okay... it's a done deal. I can only blame me for not being disciplined enough and wasting a top-quality demon core. You can stay here... The big man let out a long sigh.
After some discussion, Zhou Sen and his group came down.
It is no exaggeration to describe this home as having only four walls.
There is a small courtyard built with stones and three small tile houses. The tile houses are in dilapidated condition and the furniture in the rooms is extremely simple. It seems that no cooking has been done in the kitchen for a long time. It is completely covered by dust and there are tangled spider webs everywhere.
Yao Zhi's elder brother is called Yao Meng. Yao Meng has reached the ninth level of berserker. He is a mercenary and travels around all year round. Both brothers' parents died very early, and Yao Zhi was brought up by Yao Meng. However, the two brothers have an inseparable relationship.
Reconcile contradictions.
Yao Zhi hopes to become a respected warrior, while Yao Meng hopes that Yao Zhi will stay on his own terms, get married and have children in Starlight City.
Every year, Yao Meng would go home several times to leave tuition and living expenses for Yao Zhi.
When Yao Meng left last time, Yao Zhi was still studying. But this time when Yao Meng came back, Yao Zhi had already dropped out of school for several months. He was training intensively every day to prepare for hunting the corpse demon after the coming-of-age ceremony. The original book fee was also spent by Yao Meng.
He bought a short sword as a weapon for hunting zombies.
The two brothers have very different personalities. Yao Meng is a man of few words and can go all day without saying a word, but Yao Zhi talks a lot and asks endless questions, which annoys Zhou Sen.
Although Yao Meng was not very friendly to Zhou Sen, he was not very wary.
At this time, Zhou Sen already knew that in this Demon Core Continent where demons are rampant, the biggest enemy of mankind is the corpse demon. Human beings have to fight for survival every day. The relationship between people is not as complicated as that of the Han Empire.
In Starlight City, in addition to defending against corpse demons, people's biggest problem is to fill their stomachs and live a high-quality life. The pursuit of this quality of life has given rise to countless professions.
Three men and five women live under one roof in three tiled houses.
There are definitely not enough beds, they are all made on the spot.
At first, Shen Huimin was unwilling to live in the same room as Yuening and others, but the room could not be allocated. With Zhou Sen doing his work, he had no choice but to squeeze together with the four of them.
Two brothers, Zhou Sen and Yao Meng, live in the same room.
The room in the middle serves as a place for activities.
Yao Zhi is responsible for purchasing some food and drink every day. As for Yao Meng, he sits cross-legged in the room and practices every day, paying no attention to Zhou Sen and others, and has no intention of leaving immediately.
After everyone settled down, they began to discuss how to return to the Han Empire, but after much thought, they could not think of any good solution.
Zhou Sen also consulted Shi Danling, who was also helpless. However, Shi Danling still put forward his own opinion. He believed that if he wanted to leave this place, he must find the land of the gods. The only way
Only by finding the gods can we find the way back to the Han Empire through the divine consciousness in the gods.
There is no doubt that this is a major issue.
Zhou Sen put the issue on the table and discussed it with everyone. After repeated deliberation, everyone agreed that Master Ye Rong could summon black-armored demons through witchcraft, which means that the ancient god should be the protector of demons, and also
The belief of demons, based on this reasoning, since it is the belief of demons, then the gods and gods should be in the capital of demons.
The capital of demons—the capital of demons.
After coming to this conclusion, Zhou Sen could only smile bitterly. At first, he used the ebony sacred wood sword to barely kill a black-armored demon. According to Yao Zhi, what kind of black-armored demon is there in the demon capital?
There are countless armored demons and golden armored demons. In addition to those demons, there are also some more powerful mysterious beings.
To lead a group of women to the capital of monsters is nothing more than a dream.
"Zhou Sen, Starlight City is so lively, let's go take a look!" Shen Huimin ran in from the door, running and jumping.
"What's so fun?" Yuening looked at Shen Huimin with envy. Among the five women, Yuening and Ruo Xianxian were not allowed to go out because they didn't have any skills.
Naturally, He and Jiuyi didn't go out. In fact, Shen Huimin was free on her own.
"No, I won't tell you if I do!" Shen Huimin rolled her eyes at Yue Ning, completely unaware of Yue Ning's gesture of kindness.
"I'm not in the mood." Zhou Sen was racking his brains now, thinking about how to return to the Han Empire and what kind of mood he would have to play there.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look with Huimin!" Shen Huimin carried forward her usual spirit of hard work and hard work.
"Okay, okay...looks like this, it might be a little difficult for us to leave this bullshit Demon Core Continent these days."
"If you don't leave, don't leave. It's not bad here." Shen Huimin and Zhou Sen finally got together. They didn't think about their parents yet. They were happy as long as they were with Zhou Sen, so they didn't care much.
"..." Zhou Sen was speechless.
…
"Aren't you very good at seducing men? Why didn't you say anything?" As soon as Zhou Sen left, Yue Ning and Ruo Xianxian had an argument. Aunt Six and Aunt Nine saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly walked out to avoid it. They had seen this before.
The horror of two sisters quarreling.
"You also have times when you are weak." Ruo Xianxian, not to be outdone, retorted.
"What's wrong with me being deflated? It's better than you being dumb!" Yue Ning said angrily.
"Shen Huimin and Zhou Sen have known each other for a long time. You have no chance at all. Just give up, you idiot!" Although Ruo Xianxian is taciturn, every time she speaks, she is extremely mean.
"You...you...if you have the ability, you can take care of Zhou Sen!" Yuening suddenly stood up and almost poked Ruo Xianxian's face with her finger.
"Humph, if I want to get rid of him, she will fall under my pomegranate skirt when we are in Wanhua Building." Ruo Xianxian was completely unaware of the finger that was about to poke her face, with a look of determination on Yuening's face.
.
"Just brag, brag! If you don't brag, you will die!" Although Yue Ning was furious at Ruo Xianxian's expression, she still laughed.
"What am I bragging about? Me and him..." Ruo Xianxian's voice stopped suddenly, and a shy blush appeared on her face.
"How are you and him?" Yuening's beautiful eyes stared closely at Ruo Xianxian's bright eyes.
"I...it's nothing..." Ruo Xianxian was about to say but stopped.
"Huh, let's not forget what you are doing, but the past is different from today. If you can make Zhou Sen surrender under your pomegranate skirt in this Demonic Core Continent, I will obey you." Yue Ning snorted to show disdain.
"You want to use me?" Ruo Xianxian sneered.
"Who took advantage of you? How can you be used like this?" Yuening's face turned red when her thoughts were exposed.
"Sister, I know you don't like me, and I also know that you are a nymphomaniac and like Zhou Sen, but you have to understand the situation clearly. Zhou Sen is now distracted and eager to return to the Han Empire. He has no thought about the relationship between men and women at all.
You have also seen that Shen Huimin was also left out by him. We have no chance to get close to him, so don't waste your efforts." Ruo Xianxian said lightly.
"If there is no opportunity, create an opportunity!" Yuening blurted out.
"What opportunity do you want? To sacrifice yourself? And then let him protect us and get home safely?" Ruo Xianxian snorted coldly.
"I...I...Okay, tell me, should you go up or me?" Yuening gritted her teeth.
"Is there any difference? If you like him, you should go for it. If your sacrifice is successful, he may protect us and return to the Han Empire." Ruo Xianxian said sarcastically.
"But, I don't have confidence..." Yuening's face turned red.
"Ah...you really want to sacrifice yourself?" Ruo Xianxian was startled and looked at Yue Ning in surprise.
"Who wants to sacrifice themselves...Third sister..."
"Don't call me Third Sister, call me Ruo Xianxian!"
"Third sister... okay... Ruo Xianxian, Sixth Aunt and Ninth Aunt are not superpowers and do not know witchcraft. There is no way for them to bring us back to the Han Empire. Therefore, our only way is to rely on Zhou Sen
, and Zhou Sen already has Shen Huimin, who may not have time to take care of us, so we must use ourselves as a bargaining chip."
"You go ahead, I support you." Ruo Xianxian said calmly.
"Old rules, rock, paper, scissors."
"...Okay." Ruo Xianxian looked helpless. She was too familiar with Yue Ning. If she didn't agree, she would continue to pester her.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
The two of them shouted in unison.
"You...you...why are you using cloth? You clearly know that I am using scissors." Ruo Xianxian looked at Yuening blankly.
"I thought you would cast a stone. If you win, you can take care of Zhou Sen. No matter what method you use, even if it means self-sacrifice... I'm tired and need to take a rest."
Yuening walked to the floor and lay down gently, with her back facing outside.
Ruo Xianxian, my sister can only do this. I hope Zhou Sen can bring you back to the Han Empire.
"..."
When Ruo Xianxian saw that Yuening, who had always been active, was sleeping quietly without arguing with her, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she could not find the reason.
…
While Yuening and Ruo Xianxian were arguing, Zhou Sen was shopping in Starlight City with Shen Huimin's catkin in hand.
Starlight City is not only majestic with its city walls, but also very large, much larger than Zhou Sen's imagination.
In fact, Starlight City is not just a city. There are also some two-day lakes in it, where a lot of crops are planted, with a diameter of ten miles. To put it simply, Starlight City is actually a huge farm. The residents here,
Able to maintain a basic level of self-sufficiency.
Of course, the so-called self-sufficiency only means filling the belly. If you want to live a high-quality life, you need a lot of luxuries, and the vast majority of luxuries come from business activities.
Where there is need, there is business.
Every day, countless packhorses enter and leave the city. Goods from Starlight City are continuously shipped out, and goods from outside are also continuously shipped in.
There is no currency in Yaoxin's continent, basically bartering, and Yaoxin is the hard currency.
This situation is very similar to the world of cultivating gods in the Han Empire, because in the world of cultivating gods in the Han Empire, many monster energy stones were exchanged for other items.
The demon core, like the demon beast energy stone, is a consumable item in itself, so its characteristics meet the conditions to become the currency of the demon core continent.
For the residents of Starlight City, the so-called Starlight City mainly refers to the area around the city wall. This part is the residential area, and Yao Zhi's house is in that messy slum area.
After Zhou Sen wandered around the streets for a while, he climbed to the highest point of Starlight City: Jingshan.
Jingshan is a mountain in Starlight City. The foot of the mountain is not big, but the peak is very high and looks very slender. On Jingshan, there are many traces of artificial carvings. In addition to stone steps, there are also iron ropes. At the top, there are also
There is an exquisite pavilion.
Standing in the pavilion, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Starlight City.
At this time, Zhou Sen discovered that Starlight City was actually located on a plateau. The plateau was sunk in the middle, forming a basin with dotted small lakes in the middle. Except for the city gate, which was connected to the plain outside, the other three places were all abysses.
On the edge of the abyss, a towering and steep city wall was built.
It turned out that the majestic city wall, which stood dozens of feet high, was itself a cliff. Later, it was reinforced to form an indestructible city wall.
What a dangerous place!
No wonder Starlight City has been able to exist in this ferocious Demon Core Continent for thousands of years.
"Look over there, it's so beautiful!" Shen Huimin's long skirt fluttered and she held Zhou Sen's strong wrist.
Standing on Jingshan Mountain and looking out to the outside of Xingguang City, everything you see is green, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
"Yes, so beautiful. Huimin, last time, I was at Niejiaqiao Wanhua Building..." Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment, and finally moved forward. He knew the importance of this matter to Shen Huimin, because Shen Huimin had
It was because he went to Wanhua Tower that he went crazy.
"I know you didn't have sex with that Miaolan." Shen Huimin interrupted Zhou Sen with a gentle look on her face.
"But……"
"I also know that if I stay a little longer, you will have sex." Shen Huimin snuggled gently into Zhou Sen's chest.
"I……"
"You don't need to explain, I just know."
"..." Zhou Sen opened his mouth, but in the end he held back his words.
"Zhou Sen, my mother said that it is easy to fall in love with someone, but it is not easy to stick to the promise after it has become dull. Love is never about catering. It is true love when you can't break up or scold them. In fact,
If you really love someone, you will fall into a whirlpool of emotions. He will make you cry and disappoint you. Even so, when he stands there, you will still go over and hold his hand, involuntarily." Shen Huimin looked up at Zhou Sen,
Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes.
"Huimin, I am an unknown person. In your Shen family, I almost brought about the disaster of annihilation for you. Moreover, deep in my bones..."
"I know, uninhibited." Shen Huimin interrupted Zhou Sen again.
"Huimin..."
"Mom said, if your man goes behind your back to find another woman, there are only a few reasons. First, you haven't done a good enough job; second, your man is a bad person. I don't know yet that it's because I haven't done enough.
It’s better that you are a bad person, so don’t raise this issue again.”
"Um."
"I heard that you...you...you were with that Nine Heavens Mystic Girl?" Shen Huimin asked stammering.
"Ahem..." Zhou Sen didn't know any answer to this question and could only cough twice. After all, he couldn't say that he had an affair with Jiutian Xuannv. With Shen Huimin's fierceness, he didn't know what would happen.
, but Zhou Sen didn’t want to lie.
"Yes, I understand. Where are you and that... that... Fan Ni'er?" Shen Huimin's face darkened.
"this……"
Suddenly, Zhou Sen felt that the beautiful scenery had turned into barren mountains and rivers. He felt on pins and needles and wanted to leave here immediately.
Ever since arriving in this demonic continent, Zhou Sen has been avoiding being alone with Shen Huimin, just to avoid Shen Huimin's questioning.
"It seems that the rumors are true."
Shen Huimin slowly walked to the pavilion and sat down, her head lowered, her flowery face becoming dull.
"Huimin."
"Why didn't you lie?" Shen Huimin suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Sen.
"I don't want to lie. Huimin, I, Zhou Sen, wander around the world. Every day when I go to bed, I don't know if I will be able to see the sun rise tomorrow. I can't promise it, just like I can't promise it to Jiutian Xuannv and Fan Ni'er.
, I am not suitable for you, what you need is a man who can accompany you and protect you." Zhou Sen said slowly.
"I went through all the trouble to find you, and this is what you want to tell me?" Listening to Zhou Sen's words, Shen Huimin burst into tears.
"I...not..."
"Zhou Sen, I hate you, I hate you!"
Shen Huimin slowly stood up, slowly walked out of the pavilion, and walked to the iron rope on the edge of the cliff.
"Huimin, what are you doing?" Zhou Sen knew that Shen Huimin had a strong personality. When he saw Shen Huimin walking to the edge of the cliff, he suddenly felt a sense of ominousness.
"I hate you!"
Shen Huimin stared blankly at Zhou Sen, then suddenly jumped over the iron rope and jumped down the cliff.
"Huimin!"
Zhou Sen was horrified, and rushed after Shen Huimin, but his grasp was empty, and he watched helplessly as Shen Huimin jumped off the cliff.
"Huimin!"
Zhou Sen suddenly roared, turned over and jumped off the cliff, activating the "power" state, his body suddenly fell, and chased after Shen Huimin who was falling at high speed.
The wind howled in my ears, and the sharp cold wind made my cheeks hurt.
Under the urging of the "power" realm, Zhou Sen quickly caught up with Shen Huimin and held Shen Huimin in his arms.
After hugging Shen Huimin, Zhou Sen suddenly exerted force with his arms and threw Shen Huimin onto the cliff. At this time, the state of "power" was brought to its extreme. The surging power surged towards his arms, and the huge force threw Shen Huimin abruptly.
Up in the sky...
Under the huge reaction force, Zhou Sen fell at high speed like a cannonball.
Time and space seemed to have stopped at that moment.
The sky-high flames, screams, pools of blood, and Monk Hua’s sinister smile, the long river of memory seemed to be awakened in an instant, like a flood...
There was a wry smile on Zhou Sen's face. He was a person who cherished life and he was also a rational person. However, he could not watch Shen Huimin die in front of him.
Shi Danling once said that the legendary Flower of the Other Shore, also known as Manzhu Shahua, blooms on the road to Huangquan. The flowers are as bright and bright as blood and cover the road to hell. Through these flowers, everything in the past is left on the other side.
This kind of flower blooms without leaves. It has leaves but no flowers. Although they grow from the same root, they will never meet each other. According to Buddhist sayings, the tea plant is the last flower to bloom in the flower season. When the tea plant blooms, all that is left is to bloom in oblivion.
Flowers from the other side of the previous life.
Will I be able to meet a woman like Shen Huimin in my next reincarnation?
Perhaps we will never see each other again in the next life.
Looking at Zhou Sen falling at high speed, Shen Huimin looked confused at first. Suddenly, she saw the serenity on Zhou Sen's face, which was the serenity of being on the verge of death. She suddenly realized that Zhou Sen could not fly with a sword.
"Zhou Sen, you big fool!"
Shen Huimin burst into tears, activated her super power at high speed, the Ice Soul Sword appeared at her feet, and her whole body turned into a stream of light, chasing Zhou Sen who was falling at high speed...
…
Zhou Sen had closed his eyes. He didn't know whether the dragon armor could save his life, but he felt the shadow of death. He had never felt it so clearly before.
Perhaps, death is also a kind of relief.
"Hey!" Zhou Sen sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?" A sobbing voice sounded in Zhou Sen's ears.
"ah!"
Zhou Sen suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shen Huimin with tears streaming down her face. At the same time, he found that the speed of his descent was slowing down, getting slower and slower, so slow that he couldn't detect it.
"Why are you so stupid?" Shen Huimin looked at Zhou Sen.
"I just don't want you to die." Zhou Sen looked at Shen Huimin with his deep eyes.
"Who said I'm going to die? I just don't want to see you, I want to fly away with my sword." Shen Huimin wiped away her tears.
"Ah... you... you... aren't you seeking death?" Zhou Sen was stunned.
"Who is seeking death? I still have parents, so I won't commit suicide for such a wolf-hearted man like you." Looking at Zhou Sen's surprised expression, Shen Huimin burst into laughter and wiped her red eyes.
"Yes, yes, a man like me is really not worthy of Huimin's death." Zhou Sen nodded quickly.
"My mother said..."
"It seems like your mother talks a lot?"
"Yes, she is afraid that I will be stupid again, afraid that I will turn myself into a fool for a man who is not worthy of love. She said, if no one believes in you, then believe in yourself; if no one appreciates you, then appreciate yourself.
; If no one bless you, then bless yourself. Self-confidence is the source of success, self-improvement is the prelude to progress, and pride is the prelude to the future! Touch your own sunshine with your heart, and create your own world with love!"
"It's too profound."
"Let's break up." Shen Huimin said calmly.
Zhou Sen's body trembled and he didn't answer.
"Stand still, it's on the ground."
"Yeah." Zhou Sen looked down and saw that he was still hanging in the air in a very funny posture, and his feet were less than half a foot off the ground, so he quickly jumped down and stood up.
"Let's go home."
"Um."
On the way, Shen Huimin stopped talking and remained silent from beginning to end. Even if Zhou Sen took the initiative to speak, she would only respond with "uh huh".
Looking at Shen Huimin's cold expression, Zhou Sen felt inexplicably disappointed.
The sun sets in the west, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.
The two returned to Yao Zhi's home.
The atmosphere was a bit strange. Yuening, who was usually active and liked to talk, didn't speak when she saw Zhou Sen, as if she didn't see him.
The nymphomaniac Yuening suddenly became quiet, which made Zhou Sen a little uncomfortable.
Yao Zhi was in the kitchen, helping Aunt Six and Aunt Ninth cook.
Yao Meng went out early in the morning and has not returned yet.
Ruo Xianxian was practicing calligraphy in the hall with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she got from Zhou Sen. She looked very focused and was completely unaware of the return of Shen Huimin and Zhou Sen.
When it got completely dark, Yao Meng came back with a gloomy look.
At this time, the food for Aunt Six and Aunt Ninth had been prepared and placed on the square table in the hall, ready for dinner.
Five women, three men, just two people to one side.
Originally, Zhou Sen was with Shen Huimin, but before Zhou Sen could sit down, Shen Huimin was already sitting with Yao Zhi.
Seeing that Shen Huimin was not sitting with Zhou Sen, Yue Ning immediately pulled Ruo Xianxian to sit next to Zhou Sen, and sat down next to Yao Meng.
Aunt Six and Aunt Ninth looked at each other and sat down respectively. After Yuening and Ruo Xianxian moved their chopsticks, they began to eat.
"Yao Meng, are you a mercenary?"
"Yes." Yao Meng was preoccupied, burying his head in his meal, and spoke as concisely as ever.
"I want to go to the capital of demons. Can I hire a master? The demon core is not a problem."
"Nobody."
"Why?" Zhou Sen was a little confused. You must know that in the Han Empire, no matter how dangerous the place was, as long as there was money, there would be people there.
"The season is wrong."
"Is there still time to hire mercenaries?" Zhou Sen looked at Yao Meng blankly.
"Yes."
Yao Meng didn't even explain. He gulped down a bowl of rice and returned to his room, worried.
"Yao Zhi, why is there still a season for hiring mercenaries?" Zhou Sen turned to ask Yao Zhi.
"It is now the end of September. At this time of year, the original residents of major cities must return to their birthplace to serve the city."
"Tell me more details."
Compared with the taciturn Yao Meng, Yao Zhi was still easier to communicate with. Like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, Zhou Sen quickly figured out the ins and outs.
In this continent, every October is the time when corpse demons are most active. At this time, some corpse demons who are lurking and practicing will come out of the caves.
Against this background, the number of corpse monsters is extremely alarming, with large gatherings of tens or even hundreds of thousands often gathering.
A large number of corpse monsters will attack human settlements.
