Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad
Chapter 400: Treasure of Money
Chapter 400: Treasure of Money
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Kanyuan Mountain.
The night is as dark as ink, deep and distant, like a rich and colorful ink painting, spreading between heaven and earth.
The night is long and the stars are hidden behind the thick night sky. Only the hazy moon, like a shy girl, quietly casts a faint silver glow, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to the silent forest.
Inside the Golden Horn Palace, the candlelight flickered and the light and shadows were mottled, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
The hibiscus tent was warm and the fragrance was overwhelming, as if even the air was filled with an intoxicating aroma.
In this long dark night, a big white water python coiled on the side, its body was like silver, and its scales were glittering like a flowing galaxy, shining brightly.
The big white water python at the side has a soft and graceful posture and a slender body, just like a pool of soft water, adding a bit of agility and moisture to the Golden Horn Palace.
Beautiful scenery and a pretty snake spirit.
Xiao Chen had no intention of sleeping, so he swam leisurely in the water.
“Your Majesty…”
The white python called softly, with a hint of awe and affection in its voice.
“Hiss…”
Then, the slender and flexible tongue of the great white water python kept making a hissing sound.
“Hiss…”
The great white water python is constantly teaching the Golden Toad King the secret of snake language. Every syllable and every tone contains the wisdom and power of the snake clan.
These hissing sounds, with a slight tremor, echoed in the air like a melodious nocturne, adding a different kind of ambiguity and warmth.
It didn’t want to go away for a long time.
In the demon world, there has been a saying since ancient times that “beauties come from snakes and scorpions”. In fact, there are also many stunning beauties among the fox clan.
It’s just that vixen are usually more coquettish, with a very coquettish smell.
This is mainly because most foxes have secretory glands on their bodies, especially at the base of the tail, which release a pungent odor.
This smell is vividly called “fishy smell”, which is what people often call body odor.
Moreover, the corners of the fox’s eyes are upturned, like seductive eyes, which makes people think of the charming smile of a beautiful woman, so “fox spirit” is often referred to as “slutty fox”.
The word “sao” not only describes the charm of vixen, but also implies a unique temperament in the bones of vixen:
“Very sexy.”
A woman who is as vicious as a snake is the best of the best, often possessing peerless beauty and charming figure, exactly the kind of woman who is a “femme fatale”.
Toad King used to play with scorpions and knew their habits and toxicity very well.
But for snakes.
He played little and didn’t know much about snakes.
Seeing that the Toad King was very curious about snake language, Bai Sulin offered to teach him snake language.
The Toad King gladly accepted and learned snake language from Bai Sulin.
After some study, the Toad King was deeply impressed by the uniqueness and depth of snake language and could not help but marvel at it.
After in-depth study and exploration, the Toad King gained a deeper understanding of this unique organ of snakes – the “snake tongue”.
He learned that a snake’s tongue is composed of striated muscle fibers interwoven longitudinally, transversely, and vertically. This complex structure makes the tongue both tough and flexible.
The magic of the snake’s tongue does not end there. It can extend and retract 4-5 times per second, which is so fast that it is truly astonishing.
What’s even more amazing is that the two forked tips of the snake’s tongue can actually move independently.
It’s like a snake having two flexible tongues.
It’s so soft and agile…
This design not only allows snakes to perceive their surroundings more accurately and catch prey when hunting, but also provides them with a unique way to communicate in daily life.
The Toad King couldn’t help but sigh:
“Wonderful, very wonderful!”
“The physiological structure of these snake demons is so amazing. No wonder they have such a unique snake language.”
Bai Sulin, a thousand-year-old white water python, is obviously an evolved version of snakes. Its profound skills are unmatched by ordinary snake monsters.
The Toad King knew very well that he had really met a rare “good snake” this time.
He was determined to learn snake language well!
In order to better understand the world of snake demons.
It will be easier to command more snake monsters in the future.
Under Bai Sulin’s careful teaching, Toad King’s understanding of snake language became deeper and deeper.
……
After learning snake language.
Xiao Chen was deeply impressed by the “magic of snake language”.
He had an in-depth and detailed communication with Bai Sulin and was deeply impressed by her talent and potential.
King Golden Horn must learn this snake language well!
He was determined to study hard and master this “foreign language”.
In the demon world.
Everyone in the demon world has his or her own strengths, and the most capable one can be the teacher.
Xiao Chen wanted to recruit Bai Sulin into his Golden Horn Song and Dance Troupe, allowing her to display her talent in the troupe, perform unique programs in snake language, and at the same time serve as his “snake language instructor.”
Teach him snake language every day.
In this way, Bai Sulin can not only give full play to her expertise, but also enjoy a comfortable life in the Golden Horn Song and Dance Troupe.
However, Bai Sulin had his own plans.
Bai Sulin was not willing to join his Golden Horn Song and Dance Troupe and enjoy a comfortable life under his protection.
On the contrary, her heart was burning with ambition and aspirations. She hoped to become a demon general under Xiao Chen’s command, continue to work hard and develop, and pursue higher realms and a broader world.
This is a little white snake with some ambitions and aspirations.
She may still have the lofty ambition of becoming a demon king in her heart.
In the demon world, there are not many demon girls with such ambitions.
As the famous saying goes: “A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.”
In the demon world, a little demon who doesn’t want to be the demon king is not a good demon.
This is the normal behavior of monsters.
A monster must always have some wildness and ambition, otherwise it will be a pure bird in a cage and lose its true nature as a monster.
Monsters are different, each has different wants.
For the King of Golden Horn, both the docile domestic snake and the wild snake full of savagery have their own unique charm.
Stealing wild snakes might add a little excitement.
Therefore, when Bai Sulin expressed his ambition.
Xiao Chen didn’t care about Bai Sulin’s choice. He smiled slightly, with approval in his eyes. He agreed to Bai Sulin’s request and said:
“Well, since you have this ambition, I will grant your wish.”
There was some encouragement and affirmation in Xiao Chen’s voice:
“You will serve as a demon general under my command. If you have any confusion in your cultivation or need any help in the future, you can come to me.”
When Bai Sulin heard this, she felt as if a warm current was flowing through her heart, and her gratitude was beyond words.
The guidance and help from a powerful demon king at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal is undoubtedly extremely valuable to a little demon like her.
“oops……”
Bai Sulin was about to get up when she let out a soft cry, as if some unintentional movement had affected her wound or some part of her body was uncomfortable, causing her to unable to help but utter a sound.
“Hiss…”
Then, a “hissing…” sound of snakes came out of her mouth. It was her unique language as a snake demon, mixed with a hint of pain and endurance.
“it hurts……”
Bai Sulin quickly stood up, trying to get rid of this sudden discomfort, but because she stood up too quickly, she staggered, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
However, she managed to keep her footing.
Then, Bai Sulin gently picked up the white skirt on the ground and put it on carefully.
Then, she put on an emerald green hairpin, which made her look more elegant and refined, and more pretty and charming.
“Hiss…”
After being dressed, Bai Sulin spit out his long, forked tongue, hissed a few times, and licked his lips subconsciously.
This is her unique way of expressing respect and gratitude. Although it may seem a little strange to outsiders, it is the most sincere expression of emotion in the demon world.
Afterwards, Bai Sulin bowed gracefully and said respectfully:
“Bai Sulin, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.”
“If the king has any orders, Su Lin will be waiting at any time and will prepare the bed for you!”
“Serve the King!”
After saying this, she bowed deeply again.
But Xiao Chen’s expression was slightly cold.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said calmly:
“Go back.”
……
After Bai Sulin was dismissed.
At this time, the Golden Horn King’s Palace was in a mess, like a ruin after a storm.
Everything was ravaged and shattered.
The air was filled with the afterglow of battle, a unique smell mixed with blood and mana fluctuations, which made people involuntarily recall the fierce battle scene just now. The white snake scales scattered all over the ground, under the dim candlelight, were like stars, flashing a strange and cold light.
And in this piece of snake scale, there is also bright red snake blood.
Snake scales and blood are intertwined together, like a sad and beautiful painting.
It silently tells the story of the fierce and cruel battle between the snake and the toad.
Amid the white snake scales and bright red snake blood.
Xiao Chen stood alone, his figure tall and straight, like a solitary peak, standing tall and unyielding.
His golden royal robe was torn to pieces by the battle, but his eyes were unusually calm, as if all the worldly troubles had nothing to do with him.
now.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world could not touch his heart in the slightest.
Xiao Chen looked up at the top of the temple. The towering dome seemed to be connected to the sky. The boundless starry sky seemed to be telling him about the vastness of the universe, causing him to mutter to himself:
“Feel the vastness of the universe, and feel just a drop in the ocean…”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and suddenly felt that everything in the world was dull and he had no interest in anything.
A faint feeling of emptiness quietly came over me.
As usual: “A cigarette afterwards is better than a living god.”
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, picked up a pipe, and took a light puff. As he puffed out smoke, it seemed as if all his worries and distractions could drift away with the smoke.
The soul settles in this tranquility, and after the brain is emptied for a moment, thoughts begin to drift aimlessly, like a fallen leaf floating in the wind, free and casual.
Just then, a long-forgotten memory suddenly came to his mind.
Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that there was a magic weapon in the world of heaven and earth in his stomach, which he had forgotten and had not yet studied.
Exactly: “Nezha’s gold brick.”
Ever since he confiscated Nezha’s gold bricks, he has been suppressing them in the small world of Qiankun in his belly.
In recent days, he has been searching for the Monkey King Sun Wukong in several continents, and he was so focused on the search that he completely forgot about this gold brick.
Mind this.
Xiao Chen’s mind moved, and he took out Nezha’s gold brick from the small world in his stomach.
All I saw was a dazzling golden light flash.
Nezha’s gold brick instantly appeared in his hand.
Xiao Chen took a glance and saw that the gold brick was made of pure gold, shining brightly, and had a regular shape, just like a standard brick.
The bricks are engraved with lifelike flying dragon and cloud patterns, as well as detailed patterns of mountains, rivers and plants.
“Ok?”
Xiao Chen felt the remaining magical restrictions on the gold brick, which were obviously the heavy seals set by Nezha to protect this treasure.
Xiao Chen’s mind moved, and he raised his hand slightly, and a ray of true sun fire burst out from his fingertips.
The flames were so hot that they looked like the blazing sun in the sky, instantly distorting the surrounding air.
The true fire of the sun instantly burned all the magical restrictions on the gold bricks, leaving no trace.
As the magical restrictions disappeared, the gold brick seemed to break free from its restraints, and the golden light it emitted became even more dazzling.
“good……”
Xiao Chen looked at the gold brick in his hand, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
However, he did not stop there. Instead, he thought again and set up a magical seal of his own, firmly taking the gold brick for himself.
at the same time.
The familiar prompt sound also came into Xiao Chen’s mind.
Several lines of large golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind.
“Host, you have touched the B-level long-range attack magic weapon ‘Gold Brick’.”
“This gold brick is called ‘treasure of money’. It is made of pure gold, shining brightly, and is in the shape of a brick. It is specially used for throwing and attacking enemies.”
“It is a ‘wish-fulfilling magic weapon’. Its size and weight can be changed freely according to the owner’s wishes. It can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain.”
“When the gold brick is at its heaviest, it can weigh tens of thousands of kilograms, just like a small gold mountain.”
“In addition, the gold bricks can be controlled by magic, turning into golden light and causing multiple group damages. It is extremely powerful.”
“Copy?”
Xiao Chen looked at the information that appeared in his mind and couldn’t help but sigh:
“What a treasure of money, what a gold brick.”
“Wealth and power are overwhelming.”
“This treasure is indeed destined to be with me, the Golden Toad King.”
at the same time.
“Copy and fuse the poisonous bumps on your body.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze went straight to his original soul, and fell on the poisonous lumps scattered throughout his body that contained extremely poisonous substances.
He carefully selected the “largest and most toxic” poisonous lump and decided to combine it with the gold brick to create an unprecedented and unique hidden weapon.
He secretly thought about it and decided to merge this poisonous lump with the gold brick to create a magic weapon – “Poisonous Lump Gold Brick”.
The magic weapon “Poison Lump Gold Brick” has both the spell attack of poison and the physical damage of gold bricks, dealing double damage at the same time.
When necessary, the Golden Toad King would take out the “Poison Brick Gold Brick” which combined the power of the gold brick with the viciousness of the poisonous lump, and smash it hard at the enemy, leaving them with nowhere to escape from the double damage of poison and physical damage.
Not long after.
Following Xiao Chen’s order.
“Gold brick, the fusion of the poisonous lump has been completed.”
“At the same time, the host’s cultivation level increases by 500 years.”
A familiar prompt sounded in Xiao Chen’s mind.
Xiao Chen only felt a warm current passing through his poisonous lump.
He closed his eyes and began to look inward at his own soul.
The true form of the golden toad was seen. Under the fusion of the gold bricks, the poisonous spots on its body became more golden, as if it was coated with a layer of sacred and dazzling golden light.
These poisonous lumps were no longer a sign of ugliness and danger on his body, but had become the most dazzling and wealthy symbol of him, the Golden Toad King.
These poisonous lumps sparkled with brilliant golden light, which complemented the true form of the golden toad, making the true form of the Golden Toad King look even more majestic and powerful.
This is the golden toad that brings wealth and prosperity!
He, the Golden Toad King, possesses both endless wealth and deadly force!
“What should we do with Nezha’s gold brick?”
Xiao Chen stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Xiao Chen had an idea in mind. He planned to ask the Great Immortal Huli to refine the gold brick again and change its appearance to make it more suitable for He Sanniang to use.
Husband and wife are one.
When you get something good, the first choice is naturally to give it to your wife. This is the right thing to do.
Scorpions are melee creatures, and so is the Scorpion Queen, a natural close combatant.
He Sanniang is the top close combat expert in the Three Realms, relying on her extraordinary martial arts and her unbreakable horse-falling poison stake.
Within a space of seven feet, she is practically invincible.
No one else but him, the King of the Golden Horn, can “enter the Scorpion Demon’s body” at will.
No one else, no matter if it was the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, or Sun Wukong and other masters, could get close to He Sanniang.
However, the scorpion itself naturally lacks effective long-range attack and defense means, which makes He Sanniang easily kite-ed by the enemy in battle and difficult to exert her full strength.
Xiao Chen knew this very well, so he had been looking for a treasure that could make up for He Sanniang’s weakness in long-range combat.
This “gold brick” not only has powerful physical attack power, but can also freely change its size and weight according to the owner’s wishes, making it very suitable for He Sanniang to use in long-range combat.
He gave this gold brick to He Sanniang, apparently it could make up for some of He Sanniang’s weaknesses in long-range combat and make her more invulnerable.
As the saying goes: “A woman three years older than you is rich!”
He Sanniang is indeed older than King Jinjiao, and she deserves to hold such a “gold brick”.
at the same time.
Xiao Chen’s thoughts were like wandering silk threads, inadvertently touching another hidden corner of the small world in his abdomen.
There, a magical weapon that was deeply suppressed by numerous restrictions lay quietly. It was the “Sun-Eye Embroidery Needle”.
This Sun-Eye Embroidery Needle is also a magic weapon that cannot be seen in the light. It is the magic weapon of the Pleiades star official. It has a strong yang attribute and can suppress some poisons.
For example, when the Hundred-Eyed Demon King encountered the Sun-Eye Embroidery Needle, it was like he had met his nemesis and he couldn’t resist it at all.
Xiao Chen secretly thought that this “Sun-Eye Embroidery Needle” might also pose a considerable threat to the Scorpion Spirit He Sanniang.
After all, the Scorpion Demon is one of the most vicious creatures. If someone is touched by this embroidery needle with a strong yang attribute, they may get directly hurt.
Therefore, this item is not suitable to be given to He Sanniang, lest good intentions lead to bad consequences.
But the cause and effect behind this “Sun Eye Embroidery Needle” is too huge, so Xiao Chen has been suppressing it in the small world of Qiankun in his abdomen to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, today he suddenly had an idea.
“It’s just right for Shu Wen to eat.”
“Let’s see if he can digest this acquired spiritual treasure-level magic weapon.”
Xiao Chen thought so.
In line with the principle of not wasting, we should still make use of waste.
Shu Wen, the mosquito demon, has recently awakened some unique devouring abilities, which allow it to devour the essence of magic weapons and transform them into its own power.
Letting Shu Wen eat this Japanese-eye embroidery needle can not only “get rid of the stolen goods”, but also “recycle waste”.
Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
