Half an hour later, the four Integrated Body Realm Cultivators returned one after another.
The first three had gained nothing.
The last to return was a female cultivator at the Integrated Body Peak Stage, named Xin Qi.
Behind Xin Qi trailed a rat.
The rat was only about a zhang long, with a thin tail even longer than its body. It bared its fangs and snarled, letting out strange "squeak-squeak-chitter" cries from time to time.
Yet Xin Qi had trapped it with her magic power. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.
"Xin Qi, why did you capture a sixth-order rat demon?" Kurong asked.
"Reporting to Elder Kurong, this rat possesses exceptionally high intelligence and understands the human language."
"Is that so?" A sharp gleam flashed through Kurong's eyes.
"How would this subordinate dare deceive you!"
As Xin Qi spoke, she turned to face the rat demon.
She raised her right hand. Black corpse qi coiled around it, and her five fingers transformed into sharp claws as they suddenly stabbed toward the rat demon's face.
"You vile woman, how dare you harm Lord Rat! Release Lord Rat at once, or when the powerful experts of my rat clan arrive, every last one of you will perish here!" The rat demon suddenly opened its mouth and shouted.
Xin Qi had not harmed the rat demon in the slightest. Her claws stopped an inch before its face.
Though the rat demon spoke wildly, fear still flashed uncontrollably through its eyes as it stared at the claws before it.
"Good!" The smile on Kurong's face was undisguised.
In merely half an hour, they had not only found a demon beast of extraordinary intelligence, but one that also understood the human language. This was undoubtedly an unexpected delight.
