Chapter 321 Looking for a place
The three beholders looked at each other.
This big brother is really awesome.
But it’s a little bit asking everyone to use all their resources to build up levels and strength for one’s pet...
"Brother Shan, it's not that we younger brothers don't help. You know that every time we cultivate a pet, we have to spend a lot of soul power."
"Yes, Brother Shan, we don't have enough soul power now."
The beholders cried out in pain.
Wu Xiaode nodded, surprisingly not angry.
When you come out to fool around, you don't even get any benefits from your younger brothers. How can you be the big brother who takes the lead?
Even if you hire people to work, you still have to keep them fed.
Eye demons live off the various emotions produced by living beings.
——Arouse the emotions of living beings, then the beholder can draw soul power from the soul fluctuations of living beings.
The soul power that a single living body can provide to a beholder is very limited.
Hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of living beings must produce emotions, and the soul power escaping from them will be enough for the beholder to eat.
This is a bit like a whale eating. All they eat are small fish and shrimps, but if the amount reaches a certain level, you can still have a full meal.
——It does no harm to all living beings.
Of course, there is a simpler way to eat, which is to directly absorb the power contained in the soul stone.
However, the beholder was obviously ostracized and could not reach any living beings at all.
Even catching a pet has to be sneaky.
With such a weak position, there must be no soul stones in hand.
How can you do this in the devil world?
Wu Xiaode smiled and said, "Who is in charge of the area around here?"
"Brother Shan, this is Huitingsi, the leader of the lizard people. He commands everything in this ruined city." The Fire-Eyed Demon said.
Wu Xiaode waved two tentacles, snapped his fingers, and said:
"Lead the way, I'll go talk to it."
Several beholders looked at each other.
Wu Xiaode smiled again and said: "If you don't even have the courage to follow me to find the lizard people, then stay here."
This sentence suddenly aroused the ferocity of the beholders.
They are all monsters and they have been fighting since birth, so who wouldn’t dare to fight with others?
If it weren't for the fact that their side was really weak, these beholders would have been unwilling to be bullied like this.
"Brother Shan, I'll work with you." The Wind-Eyed Demon gritted his teeth.
"That's right, Brother Shan, I'll take you to find that ugly reptile." Lin Yanmo said.
"It's rare that Brother Shan is willing to give the younger brothers a hand, let's go!" the Fire Eyed Demon also said.
Wu Xiaode nodded secretly.
The beholder clan is still okay, they just need one less person who can hold things together.
A group of four beholders shuttled through the ruined city and soon came to a collapsed bridge.
I saw a camp with a strong stench on the bank of the river. The ground was full of various skeletons and mummies. All kinds of monsters came here with a cautious look.
——The lizardmen are stationed here.
The Wind-Eyed Demon floated to the gate of the camp and sent a telepathic message to the lizard guarding the gate:
"Our boss wants to see Huitingsi, please go and inform him."
The lizard guard was a little surprised.
When did a guy who could be called the boss appear among the beholders?
The leader specifically ordered that the beholder clan is good at spiritual magic and is very dangerous, so they must be watched closely.
"Wait here."
The guard turned and walked toward the camp.
Soon.
It returned to the eyes and said, "Go in."
Wu Xiaode walked inside with a few beholders.
In the center of the camp was a gravel field, with all kinds of rubber and debris piled together, and a blazing fire burning.
Thick smoke rose into the sky.
A large lizard covered in gray and black stood in front of the fire and warmed itself.
——Lizards like to warm themselves by the fire.
They throw everything they can burn into the fire.
If possible, they would like to have a campfire burning forever where they are stationed.
"Let me see, who is the boss among the beholders?"
The gray-black lizard said with great interest.
Its narrow, dark yellow eyes moved left and right, staring at Wu Xiaode.
——This beholder walked in the front and looked the most naughty.
The other three-headed beholders immediately followed him, so he must be the boss among the beholders.
"My name is Shan, are you the boss of this city?"
Wu Xiaode stepped forward and said.
"Mountain? Mountain of Qingshan?" Gray Lizard asked.
"Don't take it for granted - I am a mountain of small mountains." Wu Xiaode said with a smile.
The gray lizard pulled out a long burning log from the fire, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said nonchalantly:
"You beholder clan have quite ugly names. One word can represent yourself - how should I put it? You have seen too little of the world."
The long wood made a "chak" sound, and thick smoke rose up, obscuring the gray lizard's expression.
At the same time, distorted ripples appeared in the void around the three-headed beholder.
The race has been insulted, and they can't help but fight.
There is a big boss with me today, and he is here to fight!
As soon as they moved, all the lizardmen around them gathered around, their cold eyes staring at the three-headed beholder's vitals.
——The beholder attacks with long-range spells, while the lizard attacks in close combat.
If a fight breaks out, the three-headed beholder will definitely suffer a big loss.
Wu Xiaode waved his tentacles and tapped Feng, Lin, and Huo to signal them to calm down.
He smiled and said: "Brother Hui is right. We beholders are rummaging through the trash every day. It's true that we haven't seen the world for a long time."
"Well, you know what's going on."
Huitingsi spat, seeming a little disappointed and a little satisfied.
It pulled the long log out of its mouth.
I saw that the long wood had turned into a sharp spear, and the tip of the spear was still burning with fire.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
The gray lizard played with the burning wooden spear without even looking at Wu Xiaode.
"We beholders haven't been on the battlefield for a long time. Please give Brother Hui a chance so that we can do something." Wu Xiaode said.
"How can that work? Absolutely not." Gray Lizard said.
"Why not?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"You are too dangerous, and it is easy to accidentally injure your own people. It is better to just show off from behind. You will not be needed in the war." Gray Lizard said.
"We have to survive, Brother Gray."
Wu Xiaode tied a few tentacles together, tied a beautiful bow, and said easily: "Give us a way. It's okay to separate us from other races. We can find our own direction and go to the battlefield to fight."< br>
The gray lizard grinned and patted Wu Xiaode's face with the hot wooden spear.
——The beholder is covered with tentacles, and only the vertical pupils are surrounded by dense muscle tissue to protect the eyes.
This is its face.
"I have the final say in this city, brother Xiaoshan, I advise you to go back quickly, or I will eat you all and use your flesh and blood for breakfast - bah!"
The gray lizard spat in Wu Xiaode's face.
Invisible things emerged from the void, blocking all the spit.
Wu Xiaode smiled again.
"Brother Gray, I know you are worried about our beholders affecting other races, and I understand your painstaking efforts, but you may have made a mistake."
"What?"
"We really won't hurt anyone accidentally. For example, I can't hurt you." Wu Xiaode said seriously.
Gray Lizard glanced at him.
——My words are so clear, but you still don’t understand?
You must be stupid.
The boss of the beholder turned out to be such a fool. Keeping them would be useless, he might as well eat them!
Hui Tingsi's murderous intent had just begun, but Wu Xiaode over there had already taken action.
The Book of the Dead floating in the air opened automatically.
The bone dog jumped out, got into the fog, bit the hilt of the wild sword at Wu Xiaode's waist, pulled out the sword with a clang, and ran wildly in the camp.
"Lizard Man."
"Weaknesses: The neck bones are too soft and easy to break."
-- from Bone Dog Search.
All the lizardmen in the camp wear various kinds of armor around their necks, but firstly, they cannot see the bone dogs, and secondly, they are completely unable to withstand the edge of the wild sword——
The desolate sword has "unparalleled" sharpness!
The bone dog ran back and forth in the camp, and the wild sword had cut through the necks of all the lizardmen.
The bloody lizard heads rose into the sky one after another, and finally only the big lizard man was left.
Clang!
The Bone Dog tossed his head, put the sword back into its scabbard, rolled up, and jumped onto the Book of the Dead.
The wind howled, carrying a strong bloody smell across the river.
There was silence in the camp.
Wu Xiaode stood in front of the fire, letting the firelight reflect the tentacles dancing randomly on its body.
"Brother Hui, look, I said I won't hurt you."
As he spoke, he patted the gray lizard's face with his tentacles and said warmly:
"——Do you still have any opinions now?" (End of Chapter)
