Hell-Level Difficulty
The God's Fall Plain are fertile; a single shovelful of soil might unearth wisps of crimson Fire Spring, nourishing all things. Thus, even when this vast plain is shrouded in thick night fog, shrouded in darkness, it remains abundant in vegetation and teeming with diverse species.
"Brother, you're finally back!" When the people of Luo Family Village spotted Qin Ming, a large number of them rushed over to him.
They had been apprehensive at first, but now their faces showed anticipation. "Don't worry, the wolf problem is solved," Qin Ming reassured them.
"Brother, you are truly our great benefactor!" Someone choked up, their eyes reddening, especially the families who had lost their children, young and old alike shed tears.
The New Life Evolver in the village were no match for the wolf monsters of that level, and lately they had been living in tension and fear, each day feeling like an eternity.
Unable to refuse the village chief's hospitality, Qin Ming had lunch there and took the opportunity to inquire about the Silver Wolf King. He felt that if he didn't get rid of this old wolf behind the scenes, it would cause trouble again in the future. "It lives in the Wolf Hall and has more than a hundred wolf monsters under its command." Qin Ming pondered that if the time was right, he would secretly take action to eliminate it.
He suspected that this Silver Wolf King might be the kind of Silver Creature that Zhou Tao mentioned, which had failed to evolve, and the Silver Blood remaining in its body was incredibly valuable.
At midday, when the night was still relatively dark, Qin Ming arrived at Liu Family Village, a neighboring village. A bloody incident had also occurred there, and it had already been reported. The place was brightly lit, and it was Tier-Two Fire Spring, large enough to build a town. "Young man, did you come alone?" The people of Liu Family Village were somewhat disappointed to see Qin Ming so young. Had he offended someone and been sent here to investigate?
Qin Ming took out a string of wolf teeth, and immediately, the old village chief of Liu Family Village perked up, extremely excited, and said, "Young man, you are so capable! You even solved the wolf problem in the next village?"
He didn't mince words and quickly explained the details: a black demon appeared intermittently and had already devoured four people.
"It was too brutal. Liu Dazhuang had already Second New Life, but that Bird Demon flew over, ripped open his skull with one swipe of its claw, and slowly sucked out his brains right at their doorstep, before finally devouring most of his flesh."
The old village chief guessed that this Bird Demon might have committed bloodshed elsewhere, and wasn't specifically targeting their area; otherwise, things would have been even worse. "Do you know where its nest is?" Qin Ming didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to actively search for it; otherwise, every extra day of delay might result in another death.
"It should be in the dense forest a dozen miles away." The old village chief pointed tremblingly to the distant old forest. Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately set off.
Half an hour later, he found the Bird Demon described in the dossier in the dense forest. It was five meters long, with gray-black feathers, a human face, and a bird cry as sharp as a scimitar.
Moreover, these are a pair of Bird Demon who have built a nest in an old tree and laid five eggs with spots. If the chicks hatch, the harm they will cause will be even greater.
A moment later, Qin Ming drew his bow and shot an arrow, blasting one Bird Demon to pieces and severely wounding another. He spared the Bird Demon to learn more from them.
Finally, he learned that the two Bird Demon could no longer survive in the God's Fall Plain, so they came to the outskirts to breed and raise their young, belonging to the weak who had been eliminated.
Qin Ming smashed it to pieces with a slap, and then, with a flash of his fist, the bird's nest exploded, splattering egg liquid everywhere.
This was his first time carrying out a massacre, leaving no one alive, regardless of age or status. Qin Ming worked tirelessly, resolving problems in four villages in a single day.
Of the area he was in charge of, only Stone Fort Village remained, and the bloodshed there was the most troublesome.
This involves an ancient demon with extremely profound cultivation; it is said that he has lived for at least a hundred years. After learning the details, Qin Ming's expression became extremely serious.
The people of Stone Fort Village looked worried and sighed, because this old demon had some connection with their village. "Is there more to this story?" Qin Ming asked earnestly.
"It's an Old Donkey that came from our village. They say that old dogs return to the mountains, and this donkey got more and more monstrous with age. In the end, it ran into the depths of the God's Fall Plain." A hundred years ago, the Old Donkey was "enslaved" in Stone Fort Village, toiling away every day. Eventually, it mutated and made a name for itself in the God's Fall Plain, returning to seek revenge. Two years ago, it had already tormented more than a dozen people to death, all descendants of its former master. Now it doesn't come to the village much, but it has taken away many people to serve it in Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
Qin Ming listened intently. An Old Donkey seeking revenge? A hundred years have passed, and it still remembers.
Most importantly, it actually has three sworn brothers, one of whom is the Silver Wolf King, along with a giant beast and a terrifying Black Peng.
Qin Ming's expression was solemn. The century-old demon was already a cause for concern, and the Silver Wolf King also made him wary. To make matters worse, it had even involved two other monsters.
Killing any one of them might provoke the revenge of the other three old demons.
Qin Ming, who always overestimates his opponents, felt that this time the difficulty was Hell! He seriously assessed that even if a top-tier Otherworlder who had undergone nine New Life came here to solve the problem, he estimated that the outcome would be more likely to be disastrous.
Unless you disregard the lives of those people in Stone Fort Village, find a way to kill the Old Donkey, and immediately flee far away to leave this place completely.
But this wouldn't solve the problem; it would only lead to an even greater bloody disaster. The other three old demons would definitely retaliate fiercely, possibly even massacring villages and towns.
"Are the bloodbaths that Cui Chongxuan, Zhuo Ya, and Cao Wuji have to face really this difficult?" Qin Ming suddenly realized that entering the Six Sovereigns ' mountain gate wasn't so easy after all.
He didn't dare to act rashly because there was still plenty of time. Elder Zhou Tao of the Six Royals Ancestral Court told them to go back in Moon Queen.
Over the next two days, Qin Ming quietly entered the God's Fall Plain to learn about the four old demons, cautiously approaching their territory and looking for an opportunity. On Accumulated Thunder Mountain, a dozen or so young men and women, dressed in rags, were washing clothes, cooking, and preparing food for some Donkey Demon, Dog Demon, Rat Demon, and others.
This old Old Donkey has dozens of subordinates. When it travels, it is carried in a sedan chair by people. It sits inside with a serious expression, its donkey face long and dignified. The Wolf Hall is not small in scale, but rather magnificent. It is made of Red Crystal Stone from the God's Fall Plain as the main material. The whole thing is bright red, and under the reflection of the Fire Spring, it looks as if it is smeared with blood.
Although they were far apart and Qin Ming only caught a fleeting glimpse, he felt that the Silver Wolf King was even more powerful than Master Huang and was definitely a formidable enemy.
Most importantly, it has over a hundred subordinates, all of whom are tall and ruthless monsters.
Qin Ming most wanted to deal with it because, among the four old demons, it was actually the weakest, while the two strongest were naturally the giant beast and the Black Peng.
Furthermore, if the Silver Wolf King is Silver Creature that failed to evolve, then the residual Silver Blood in its body can help Qin Ming Seventh New Life!
If he breaks through to the next level and his strength reaches a new level, he might be able to take down all four old demons!
Qin Ming stared intently in the direction of the Wolf Hall, his eyes filled with envy. However, he knew very well that unless he could succeed in one strike, he would be in considerable danger.
After all, the territories of the four old demons were not far apart.
Qin Ming roamed the God's Fall Plain, where he encountered many monsters and human adventurers. He tried to invite others to join him in exterminating demons, but they immediately refused as soon as they heard who he was going to fight.
"This monster probably has some kind of Strange Blood on it!"
Qin Ming had observed the giant beast many times. Its body was covered in fiery red scales, and it was not the kind of enormous beast that resembled a mountain in legends.
It was already more robust than an elephant, but to ordinary humans, especially in the outer regions of the God's Fall Plain, it was definitely a behemoth.
The next day, Qin Ming saw the most terrifying Black Peng, its body shimmering with Dark Light, fly away from the mountain it occupied and head towards the depths of the God's Fall Plain.
Suddenly, he perked up; his chance seemed to have arrived. At this time of day, the giant beast should be feeding, right? He traversed the forest, approaching the beast's habitat.
The behemoth resembled a fiery lion covered in crimson scales, its mouth and nostrils blazing with fire. Its diet consisted of various strange creatures, including mutated elephants.
The scene of it eating was quite bloody; it sat there, gnawing on an elephant's leg with its large paws, the ground stained red with blood. "It ate half an elephant. According to its habits, it will probably sleep for half a day. This is a golden opportunity!" Qin Ming disappeared from there and quickly arrived at the Ruthless Palace!
This time, he will go all out, preparing for a decisive blow.
In the darkness, Qin Ming drew his Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
The Wolf Hall, made primarily of Red Crystal Stone, is magnificent, towering, and its blood-red color is incredibly imposing.
Half an hour later, after eating fresh flesh and blood, the Silver Wolf Jade came out for some fresh air. It walked upright, reaching a height of four meters, and was extremely strong, its silver fur gleaming in the night.
It shimmered with a brilliant light, making it very eye-catching.
After Qin Ming fired four Jade-Iron Arrow, he didn't care whether they hit or not. Holding his Jade Iron Saber, he charged forward at top speed, creating a whirlwind. The Silver Ferocious King grunted. It had been hit by two arrows, but they had avoided its vitals. Blood stained its silver fur. Enraged, it looked up at the sky and was about to howl.
Qin Ming flicked his wrist, sending out a Jade-Iron Arrow aimed at its gaping maw. The Silver Wolf King quickly shut its mouth and turned its head to dodge.
With a deafening roar, a dazzling burst of blade light erupted as Qin Ming charged in and engaged the Silver Wolf King in a life-or-death battle.
In that brief moment, the two clashed fiercely. The Silver Wolf King's large claws were as if they had been clipped, leaving them bald and covered in blood. But it also managed to pull out its Wolf Fang Club, its claws glowing, and wielded the heavy weapon to fight back, continuously smashing it at its opponent.
Qin Ming's expression was serious. This was indeed a formidable opponent, extremely powerful. He did his utmost to fight against him, and his Heavenly Light Force seemed to burn fiercely.
But the silver wolf king, despite being struck only once, did not fall, displaying remarkable resilience. Thud!
Qin Ming held nothing back, using his strongest techniques to leave Dao Injury on the Silver Wolf King, almost severing its neck. This time, the Silver Wolf King was terrified, roaring repeatedly, its entire body surging with Silver Light as it began to fight desperately.
Many wolf monsters rushed forward to help, but none could withstand Qin Ming's terrifying blade light.
"Get out of the way!" A cold voice rang out from mid-air, and all the wolf monsters retreated like a tide.
"Big brother, you've finally arrived! I never thought someone would actually come to deal with us!" The Silver Wolf King shouted as soon as he saw his savior.
Qin Ming's heart sank. Looking up, he saw a raptor like a black Solar Yang, radiating Dark Light, fierce and terrifying, its wings flapping and emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The ground trembled, and a colossal beast covered in crimson scales appeared in the distance. It resembled a lion, with elephant blood dripping from its mouth, protruding fangs, and was ferocious and savage.
On the other side, Old Donkey with gleaming fur appeared, carried in a sedan chair. It lifted the curtain and looked over coldly.
Qin Ming sighed, never expecting the worst to happen. The four Demon One more ferocious than the last, had all come and surrounded him in the Wolf Hall.
This was the most dangerous situation Qin Ming had encountered since embarking on his New Life Path; it was Hell challenge!
(There's more to come!)
