The Trapped Demonic Creature

Despite the painful lessons learned, Su Zhan did not give up his idea of looting the Treasure Pavilion. As the saying goes, the timid starve while the bold thrive.

To achieve wealth and status, one must take risks and seek victory.

He knew very well that the Drum Tribe would eventually become his enemy.

During his time here, he fully realized how deep the Drum Tribe's faith in that Altar was. If his purpose were exposed, it would mean utter disgrace and mutual destruction. He had to seize every opportunity to improve his combat effectiveness.

Unbeknownst to Su Zhan, the demonic monkey he had condensed with Devil Qi was being studied by several Elders.

They used Spiritual Qi shield to cover the spirit monkey. Because the spirit monkey had lost Su Zhan's control and severed their connection, its eyes were glazed over, and its Devil Qi had begun to dissipate.

However, due to the obstruction of the Spiritual Qi shield, it dissipated very slowly, but it wouldn't last long.

The seven Elders all wore grave expressions and said, "I have never seen anything like this before; it does have a somewhat ancient feel to it."

"Could it be that those vanished old Monster have returned?!"

Their expressions were serious, and they all remained silent, deep in thought, without considering the possibility of Su Zhan.

The reason is simple: this technique is too ancient, unlike something a modern person could use.

Moreover, in their eyes, Su Zhan was still just a greenhorn. Even if he were a genius, how could he possibly obtain such an ancient Inheritance? Su Zhan wasn't Devil Race either, so where would he find Devil Qi?

They were filled with worry. What should they do if those ancient Monster really did return?

They have offended quite a few enemies, and while other tribes may not know their current situation, they certainly do.

While it appears glamorous on the surface, the number of newborns has decreased drastically in recent years, with no Life Element born for a century, and the future outlook is worrying.

The Drum Tribe Clan is a one-in-a-lifetime force, and it's very difficult to replenish their ranks. In recent years, they have become increasingly isolated, somewhat resembling the Devil Race in their tendency to hide away.

They are barely managing to stay afloat, so they are relaxing the conditions for outsiders to join the Drum Tribe in order to strengthen their own power and avoid having no one to rely on when disaster strikes.

The Grand Elder said, "We can't wait any longer! We won't get anywhere by guessing and speculating here; we can't stop the old Monster's return."

"The only way is to immediately increase our strength and distribute all resources to all our people. We must grow our strength as quickly as possible to prepare for any potential disaster."

It's easier said than done; resources aren't so easy to accumulate.

The resources they've accumulated over the years will quickly disappear if they are fully opened up.

If the next generation cannot be raised due to a lack of resources, they will very likely face annihilation in the not-too-distant future.

But there's no other way now; if we don't do this, we might not even survive this generation.

Moreover, they didn't know when the next generation would actually arrive, and everyone looked worried, unable to find a solution, and becoming more and more anxious the more they thought about it.

Su Zhan didn't go out for a stroll tonight because of what happened yesterday, security outside has been greatly increased.

Going out unnecessarily might alert the enemy or arouse suspicion, so he spent a peaceful night in his room without incident.

The next few days were peaceful, but as time went by, Su Zhan began to feel anxious.

This can't go on. In the past few days, he could clearly sense that the Drum Tribe seemed to be about to make a move.

He couldn't Artifact, but he could sense that this was a major change, and it was very likely that it was something he had brought up that day.

If I stay here any longer, the risks will only increase. I can't say anything more without making a mistake, and who knows, one day he might expose everything.

Su Zhan took out the gem given to him by the undercover agent, and unleashed a burst of Demonic Power upon it. The gem lit up briefly, then dimmed again.

Su Zhan confirmed that the message had been delivered and quietly waited for midnight to arrive.

In the middle of the night, I opened the door and quietly went out, rushing towards the place where we last met.

Upon arriving at the destination, the person, just as before, concealed their presence, stood with their back to him, and waited.

She handed him a bag and said, "Here's what you wanted."

Su Zhan nodded and took it. The man couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you need the Haotian Hammer for?"

The Haotian Hammer is not uncommon on any Planet, but Su Zhan wanted one of much higher quality than usual.

He wanted the highest possible level of capability. The former undercover agent received this information and, although he didn't quite understand it, he still found it for him as instructed.

After all, Su Zhan a high chance of success, and this thing isn't hard to find.

Su Zhan replied, "We might need it later, but it's not certain yet. I'll let you know when that happens."

But in my heart I was thinking, how could I possibly tell you? I can't possibly tell you, because one day I might get desperate and smash the Altar with a sledgehammer, dig out everything inside, and run away.

These are things he definitely can't say; he can only remain silent and feign mystery.

Besides the Haotian Hammer, he also wanted many high-level and exquisite Artifact, and even two martial Cultivation Method at the Martial King Rank.

If it weren't for the difficulty in finding Martial Emperor level experts, Su Zhan would have asked him for Martial Emperor level.

The Martial King Rank is also very useful to him; he should give his Cultivation Method a little treat.

It's been so long since I've fed them; it's really unfair to them.

As Su Zhan was heading back, he passed through the woods and saw another figure flash by, but this time the figure moved much slower than the last time they met.

It was obvious that the person was deliberately trying to get his attention and lure him over.

Su Zhan followed, and the two walked together until they reached a secluded spot. The figure stopped and turned around.

It was the same woman he had caught last time.

The woman said, "I've already spoken to our chieftain about what you wanted to say. He said he agrees and wants to meet with you to discuss it further."

Su Zhan smiled as he heard his agreement, "Haha, of course!"

The woman nodded, then turned and led the way.

The moment he turned away, there was a fleeting awkwardness in his expression, but unfortunately Su Zhan didn't see it.

Things have been going too smoothly lately, and I've let my guard down without realizing it.

Based on his usual vigilance, he should have noticed that this woman was acting very strangely.

From these two meetings, it's clear that the woman is a simple-minded, outspoken, and carefree person. This time, her words were far too serious and earnest, as if she were reciting a memorized text.

She walked very fast as she led the way, Su Zhan focused all his attention on keeping up with her and paying attention to the terrain, leaving him no time to think about anything else.
