Chapter 1126: Chapter 211: Among Demons, There Are Immortals—The Mountain Charm

"Mu Qingge!" Yin Chen looked at Mu Qingge with some concern.

Mu Qingge gathered her thoughts and slowly shook her head. While continuing to run wildly, she said to Yin Chen, "Let’s hope the Demon Puppet can return." Her lips pursed; before leaving, she did alter her plan somewhat.

...

The dozen or so old dragons that chased out transformed into dragon forms, riding the clouds and mists, and arrived at the place where three old dragons were killed, leaving only a bloody scene.

Not only did they return, but over twenty dragons in the Dragon Realm also came; they transformed into human forms, landed on the ground, with fierce killing intent in their eyes, looking at the Demon Puppet squatting on one knee, head lowered, motionless.

"He is the murderer!"

"This is not a monster!"

"No, his cultivation is insufficient; it’s impossible for him to kill those three!"

"This is the Demon Clan!"

"No, this is a Demon Puppet!"

More than forty old dragons tightly surrounded the Demon Puppet, cautiously approaching and identifying him.

Just as they came close, intending to capture the Demon Puppet to find clues, the Demon Puppet suddenly raised his head, stood up from the ground, and in his hands, held several bombs personally refined by Mu Qingge.

This type of bomb was used by her in the Middle Ancient Realm and then further improved upon entering the Divine Demon Continent, named Spirit Burst by her.

The Demon Puppet directly threw the Spirit Bursts in his hand towards those old dragons.

These dragons had never seen such things before, and it did not alert them. By the time they sensed a hint of danger, it was already too late.

Boom—!

Boom boom—!

Boom boom boom!

The ground suddenly released seven or eight explosion sounds, accompanied by miserable screams.

Each explosion of this Spirit Burst is equivalent to the self-detonation of a First Layer of Saint Realm expert. The Demon Puppet stood at the center of the explosion, the first to be affected, but if he weren’t a Demon Puppet, with a strong physique, and further refined with Abnormal Fire by Mu Qingge, he would have been reduced to ashes.

These powerful explosions spared no dragons present, leaving them either dead or injured.

The Demon Puppet was also severely damaged but, being a puppet, he didn’t feel pain. He took the opportunity to jump up and dug out the Dragon Hearts from six dragons killed by the explosion.

"How dare you, thief!"

His actions were seen by some old dragons, and they were instantly filled with burning anger.

An old dragon charged at the Demon Puppet.

The Demon Puppet’s back was severely damaged, with his spine caved in. Yet, he continued his actions, took the chance to dig out two more Dragon Hearts, and fled in the direction Mu Qingge and the others had left.

Once he fled, the remaining dragons prepared to give chase.

However, a dragon stopped them. "Do not pursue the desperate! Hmph, as long as they’re in this Demon Forest, there’s no escape! Dare to harm my clansmen like this, this enmity is irreconcilable!"

"Yes, Dragon Emperor."

It turned out that this dragon was actually the Dragon Clan emperor.

The Dragon Emperor looked painfully at his clansmen, he wished he could tear the murderer apart, but couldn’t disregard the injuries of the dragons present.

"Return to the Dragon Realm, I’ll dispatch the Dragon Scale Army for pursuit! I swear I won’t spare anyone who dares massacre my Dragon Clan!" the Dragon Emperor vowed with hatred.

...

The monster sniffed hard, inhaling deeply. "Huh? There’s no smell of those muddy eels. Could it be they’re not chasing anymore?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a black dot rapidly approaching them in the distance.

The monster was about to strike but was stopped by Mu Qingge raising her hand.

When that black dot grew closer, they saw clearly it was the severely damaged, barely intact Demon Puppet. In his hands, he held eight Dragon Hearts.

Adding these eight to the three old dragons previously sniped, plus the initial five small dragons, excluding the one wasted by Mu Qingge, in just one day, they had collected fifteen Dragon Hearts.

"Tsk tsk, too miserable." The monster clicked his tongue at the Demon Puppet’s appearance.

It wasn’t clear if his mocking tone was directed at the Demon Puppet or the dragons.

Regardless, Yin Chen saw a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Mu Qingge’s face was stern as she recalled the Demon Puppet. She said, "Originally, I planned to use the Demon Puppet as bait; once the Dragon Clan caught up, have the Demon Puppet self-destruct, and trap as many as possible. But eventually, I couldn’t bear to lose my Demon Puppet, and suddenly remembered the Spirit Burst I researched idly. Seems fruitful."

Yin Chen and the monster quietly listened to her finish, couldn’t help but gasp.

After a while, the monster extended his thumb toward Mu Qingge, sighed, "I thought after following you for many years, I’d learned some tricks. Now it seems I’m not even close to matching a single hair of yours!"

...

"Where are we headed now?" After walking all night in the wilderness with the monster, Mu Qingge finally couldn’t help but ask.

The monster led ahead and replied without turning back, "Currently, the Dragon Clan surely has spies at every exit of the Demon Forest. Those muddy eels’ scent, I can smell from a thousand miles away. Likewise, they’re very familiar with my scent."

"Then I can take you into my space and leave." Mu Qingge immediately said.

After all, she’s not exposed yet, so if she isolates the monster, she should be able to exit the Demon Forest, right?

But the monster shook his head, "You think after killing so many dragons, you wouldn’t have any scent upon you?"

Mu Qingge pursed her lips in silence; she indeed overlooked this point.

She had changed her clothes and couldn’t smell any aura now. Could it be that the Dragon Clan’s scent still lingers?

"So, we need to find a relatively safe place to hide temporarily, to help you refine True Dragon Blood and increase your power. The Dragon Clan’s aura will dissipate in forty-nine days, and when it’s gone, we can leave the Demon Forest. Once out of the Demon Forest, they won’t send many dragons to the Divine Land; when they come, we kill them one by one. Heh heh," the monster said, eyes gleaming as he spoke of his plan.

This plan is indeed pretty good.

But Mu Qingge still couldn’t help but say, "Is there any place safer than within my space?"

But the monster suddenly stopped, turned his head to Mu Qingge, grinned, "Girl, do you want to try the third treasure among the Demon Forest’s Three Treasures?"

"What Demon Forest Three Treasures?" Mu Qingge asked with curiosity.

She had only heard of Phoenix Fire, True Dragon Blood, but this was the first she’d heard of the Demon Forest Three Treasures. Even Yin Chen looked curiously at the monster.

The monster laughed, "The world only knows of Phoenix Fire, True Dragon Blood. But actually, within the Demon Forest, the truly precious are the Charm Fruits of the Mountain Charm Clan."

"Mountain Charm Clan!" Mu Qingge became curious.

The monster nodded, "The Mountain Charm, known as forest fairies. Their status in the Demon Forest is akin to guardians. It’s said they were born of the first tree in the Demon Forest, nurtured by its essence and moonlight. So, in a certain sense, generally, people don’t dare disturb them. And the Charm Fruit, bearing every thousand years from that tree, one can eat only one in a lifetime, and after consumption, it can increase ten thousand years of cultivation."
