Chapter 398: Millennium Snake Demon Bai Sulin

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, the 600-li Kanyuan Mountain is an area shrouded in monstrous demonic energy.

Golden Horn Cave.

“No need to be polite, just get up.”

Xiao Chen sat on the throne and waved his hand gently, signaling the mosquito demon Shu Wen below to stand up.

There was gentleness in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He still admired this old subordinate who had always followed him.

“The king called you here because he has something to send you on.”

Xiao Chen slowly said
“Your Majesty, please speak.”

Upon hearing this, the mosquito demon Shu Wen hurriedly stood up, his posture still respectful, but his eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement.

He knew very well that he had been summoned personally by the king, which meant that he must have something important to discuss.

He, the mosquito demon Shu Wen, was also a demon who conquered the world together with the Golden Horn King. This honor was the most precious wealth in his life.

Thinking back to the time when he and the king fought side by side, slaughtering the Beast Taming Sect together, fighting the Scorpion Demon together, fighting the Three Demons of Lion Camel Ridge together… Those thrilling battles were still vivid in his mind, as if they happened just yesterday.

However, ever since the king went to Uttarakuru, although the mosquito demon Shu Wen has been working hard to practice and improve his skills, he rarely has the opportunity to help the king solve his problems.

He often missed the days when he fought alongside the king and longed to serve him again.

Now, the king finally has something to send him on, so his heart is naturally full of anticipation and excitement, and he vows to go through fire and water for the king without hesitation!

“There is no rush for this matter. I will talk about it in detail later.”

Xiao Chen said with a smile, his eyes moving back and forth over Shu Wen, looking this old subordinate up and down.

Xiao Chen said:

“I see that you have made a lot of progress over the years, and your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. You have done a good job.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen responded modestly, but was secretly proud in his heart.

He knew that his efforts were not in vain, as the king saw it and kept it in mind.

This recognition is more precious to him than any treasure.

“Have you awakened any new abilities in these years?”

Xiao Chen continued to ask, with some anticipation in his tone.

He has always been concerned about Shu Wen’s growth and is looking forward to him bringing new surprises.

“Report to the king.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen answered respectfully, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Mosquito demon Shu Wen took a deep breath and began to tell the story:
“In the past, I could only absorb the essence and blood of all living creatures to nourish my body and enhance my cultivation. This has been my way of cultivation for a long time.”

“Whether it’s the birds flying in the sky, the beasts running through the forest, or the lush flowers and trees, as long as they contain vitality, I can extract the necessary essence and blood from them to help improve my cultivation.”

“Absorb the essence and blood of all living creatures to strengthen myself…”

Xiao Chen nodded to show his understanding.

In the demon world, all kinds of strange cultivation methods emerge one after another.

Mosquitoes mainly feed on nectar, plant sap and blood.

Absorbing the essence and blood of all living things to enhance cultivation is the innate magical power of the mosquito clan.

When it comes to mosquitoes, people often mistakenly believe that only females suck blood, while males feed on nectar and plant sap. However, this concept has long been overturned by science.

The theory of science is like a long rolling river, constantly being washed and reshaped, washed again and reshaped again…over and over again, in an endless cycle.

An astonishing discovery was published in the journal Current Biology: Scientists found two male mosquito fossils in Lebanese amber from the Early Cretaceous period, about 1.3 million years ago, and used scientific instruments to prove that in the early stages of the evolution of the mosquito family, “male mosquitoes also had the ability to suck blood.”

The mouthparts of early male mosquitoes still retained obvious piercing-sucking characteristics. The edge of the lower jaw was triangular and covered with small teeth, and the inner maxilla was also elongated and had small teeth, which was very different from today.

As for why male mosquitoes later lost the ability to suck blood, scientists speculate that this may be closely related to the massive emergence of angiosperms.

Between 1.25 million and 0.88 million years ago, angiosperms gradually emerged on Earth, replacing gymnosperms as the dominant species. These plants provided abundant pollen and nectar, becoming a new food source for mosquitoes.

Compared with sucking blood, sucking plant sap is undoubtedly safer and sufficient to meet the energy needs of mosquitoes. Moreover, male mosquitoes do not need to lay eggs, so their energy needs are naturally lower than those of female mosquitoes. Therefore, they are more likely to adapt to this new diet change.

……

Speaking of it.

The Mosquito Demon’s words were full of pride in his past abilities, but then his voice rose, revealing an excitement that was difficult to conceal:
“But recently, I found that I can actually absorb the power of magic weapons.”

“Oh?”

“Can you absorb the power from the magic weapon now?”

When Xiao Chen heard this, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He knew the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s previous abilities, but now Shu Wen could actually absorb the power from magic weapons, which was undoubtedly a new and unprecedented ability.

Xiao Chen secretly speculated in his heart, could it be that Shu Wen has awakened the hidden abilities of the “Blood-Winged Black Mosquito” clan?

“Shu Wen, please tell me in detail how you absorbed the magic weapon?”

Xiao Chen asked with interest.

The mosquito demon Shu Wen bowed respectfully and replied:

“My lord, I was practicing recently and accidentally discovered that when I got close to some magic weapons, I could vaguely feel the power fluctuations contained in them.”

“That kind of power seems to have an inexplicable attraction to me.”

“So, I plucked up my courage and tried to insert my mouthparts into the magic weapon, hoping to absorb the essence from it.”

“I didn’t expect that after I tried it, I actually succeeded!”

When Shu Wen said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

“At first I thought it was just my illusion, but after several repeated attempts, I was convinced that I really had the ability to absorb the power of magic weapons.”

“Also, after absorbing the magic weapon, my magic power seems to have been greatly improved.”

At this point, the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s tone suddenly became a little hesitant, as if there was something difficult to say.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said:
“Why are you still keeping me in suspense in front of this great king?”

“If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Mosquito demon Shu Wen scratched his head embarrassedly and said:
“However, I can only absorb ordinary magic weapons now.”

“Moreover, after I absorb the magic weapons, they will all be damaged and turned into scrap metal.”

“It can’t be used anymore.”

“So, I don’t dare to try any more.”

Xiao Chen seemed to understand something after hearing this.

In nature, mosquitoes are generally at the bottom of the food chain, have a short lifespan and weak self-preservation ability.

It is already extremely difficult for a small mosquito to survive in this extremely cruel natural world, let alone transforming into a monster?
Mosquito demon Shu Wen was able to transform from a small mosquito into a demon and then reach where he is today.

There must be extraordinary luck supporting this.

“Luck?”

“Golden Lotus of Twelve Grades of Merit…”

“The fortune of Lingshan Buddhism…”

Xiao Chen murmured softly, his eyes gleaming with thought.

The Twelve-Pearl Golden Lotus of Merit is the treasure of the Western Religion. It suppresses the fortune of the Western Religion, symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity of the sect, and can bring endless blessings and protection.

Recalling the time of Conferred Gods, the blood-winged black mosquito actually ate a part of the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, the object of luck and fortune of the Western Religion.

Close to a quarter.

Even more than that, after all, the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit dropped from a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and directly dropped in grade.

This action was undoubtedly a disguised way of taking away some of the luck of Lingshan Buddhism.

After all, the Golden Lotus of Merit had been devoured by the Blood-winged Black Mosquito, and had merged with the Blood-winged Black Mosquito, becoming a part of it.

Today, Lingshan Buddhism is becoming increasingly powerful and its fortune is becoming more prosperous, so the Golden Lotus of Merit will inevitably become more prosperous as well.

As for the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito, which once devoured the Golden Lotus of Merit, it might be able to return to the Three Realms with the help of the luck of Lingshan Buddhism.

“Mosquito demon…”

“Blood-winged black mosquito…” Xiao Chen looked at the mosquito monster Shu Wen.

This little mosquito demon under his command hides huge potential.

The blood-winged black mosquito is the leader of the evil insects in Hongmeng. It devours everything and has infinite power.

Even a Golden Immortal would find it difficult to escape the bite of a blood-winged black mosquito.

The little mosquito demon in front of him might be the prototype of the next blood-winged black mosquito. As long as it is properly cultivated, it might really be able to awaken and become a legendary existence.

Become an important “high-end combat force” under the command of King Golden Horn.

Although the abilities of the mosquito demon Shu Wen are still relatively immature, they have already shown extraordinary signs.

At present, the abilities of Mosquito Monster Shu Wen are mainly divided into two aspects:
The first one is to suck the “essence and blood” of living things.

The second is to absorb the “essence of magic weapon” from the object.

The magic weapon was refined by practitioners with great efforts, and contained all kinds of magical powers and laws. Shu Wen was actually able to absorb the essence from it, which shows how powerful it is.

but.

Xiao Chen also knew that the ability of the mosquito demon in front of him was still relatively rudimentary. It could only convert blood and energy into magic power, and in this process, the original objects would often be damaged and could no longer be used.

This is undoubtedly a huge waste and greatly reduces the efficiency of resource utilization.

But Xiao Chen was not discouraged by this. He knew very well that in mythological history, the growth and development of the Blood-winged Black Mosquito was a long process, which required a large amount of resources to accumulate in order to gradually become stronger.

That blood-winged black mosquito had existed since the creation of the universe, and was not born until the time of the Conferred God. Its growth path was extremely long and arduous.

but.

He, the King of Golden Horn, controls a huge weapon-refining force and has many weapon-refining masters under him, and can even afford to support a small mosquito demon.

Besides, don’t they still have to go to “Heaven to steal treasures”?

The place of heaven is filled with countless wonderful magic weapons, it is simply rich beyond words.

Xiao Chen secretly planned in his heart that after his King Golden Horn had copied all the magic weapons one by one, he would let the mosquito demon devour them to his heart’s content.

It just happened to help the mosquito demon increase its strength and become a “peerless demon” under the command of the Golden Horn King as soon as possible.

“Shu Wen, Tiegu and I will give some instructions.”

“From now on, I will give you one tenth of the low-grade magic tools from Dongsheng Shenzhou Silizhai for your consumption.”

Xiao Chen looked at the mosquito demon Shu Wen and spoke with a smile.

First, let’s get some magic weapons and feed them to this little mosquito demon to see how effective they are.

When Shu Wen heard this, he was extremely happy and immediately bowed and said:

“Shu Wen thanks the king!”

“Your Majesty is truly very kind to Shu Wen!”

After all, he is just a little monster, working under the king.

Those magic weapons are the king’s property. Although he wants to eat them, he must get the king’s permission.

“Well, come back, I’ll take you to heaven.”

Xiao Chen patted Shu Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile:
“There are a lot of great meals there.”

“In the Heavenly Palace, there are all kinds of magical instruments from the immortals. You can enjoy a feast to your heart’s content.”

When Shu Wen heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he almost jumped up with excitement:
“At your command, my Lord!”

“The king told Shu Wen to go east, and Shu Wen would never dare to go west!”

……

At this time, the night was deep, and the moonlight was as soft and clear as water, sprinkling all over the earth and covering the quiet night with a layer of light silver gauze.

Xiao Chen returned to the bedroom of the Golden Horn Palace and prepared to rest.

However, his Golden Horn Dance Troupe, which consisted of beautiful female fairies who were good at singing and dancing and had graceful figures, were all transferred to Uttarakuru.

Therefore, there were no charming female fairies sleeping beside him in the bedroom tonight.

There are no brands to turn over.

There are no more laughter and joy as in the past, and no more attentive service from the fairies.

This huge bedroom seemed a little deserted for a moment.

Just as Xiao Chen was sitting on the couch, feeling a little lonely and preparing to close his eyes and meditate, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door:
“Your Majesty, Tiegu requests to see you!”

“come in.”

Xiao Chen gave the order calmly, his voice echoing in the empty bedroom.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a little surprised:
“It’s so late, what’s the matter that Tiegu came here at this time?”

Upon hearing this, General Tiegu gently opened the door and walked into the bedroom with steady steps.

He was a general of the human race during his lifetime, with a burly figure and an extraordinary aura.

Following behind him was a woman dressed in white silk.

Her appearance seemed to bring an indescribable enchanting brightness to this quiet bedroom.

The woman was dressed in a white silk dress that shone with silver light, which fit her curvy and graceful figure tightly and shone brightly, just like the sparkling surface of a lake under the moonlight.

Her face was pure and refined, yet with a hint of seductiveness. Her pupils were as clear as water, flashing with cunning and wisdom, as deep as a pool, inviting endless exploration.

Her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, outlining the charm and cunning unique to a snake demon.

The woman in white has a graceful figure and skin whiter than snow, with a strange lustrous luster, as if she was carved from the finest jade, with a hint of delicate snake-scale texture, adding a bit of enchanting beauty.

When General Tiegu saw Xiao Chen, he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully:

“My lord, this female demon is the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Sulin.”

“She came here from Southern Continent.”

“Bai Sulin is extremely intelligent and will definitely be able to help the king solve his problems.”

“In the service of the King.”

He Tiegu was once a strong and capable general of the Donglai Kingdom. He fought for the King of Donglai in many battles throughout his life and made great military achievements.

His father and brothers both died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country, and his family is full of loyal heroes.

However, the treacherous ministers in the court were jealous of his achievements and had evil intentions.

With just a simple “false” charge, he was thrown into a dark and damp prison.

In prison, he suffered endless torture and poisoning, and hundreds of members of his family were executed, cutting off his bloodline and leaving no one alive.

He himself was abandoned in the wilderness without even a place to be buried. He eventually became a corpse demon, wandering the world.

The general’s loyalty, bravery, and great military achievements were no match for a few words from court officials.

After experiencing this great change, General Tiegu finally understood.

He understood that loyalty and military achievements alone were not enough.

Those who are too rigid are easily broken, while those who are gentle are invincible.

As a subordinate, you cannot just focus on performance, you also have to please the king.

You have to know how to handle things, how to make things happen, and how to flatter.

Fuck that iron-clad man!

He wants to be a favorite!
He is a man of steel and wants to improve himself!
“Oh?”

“The thousand-year-old white snake demon ‘Bai Sulin’?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity and interest flashed in his eyes. His gaze then fell on Bai Sulin and began to look at her carefully.

Her skin was whiter than snow and as delicate as silk, as if reflecting the soft luster under the moonlight; her slender waist swayed gracefully like a willow in the wind in spring.

Those snake eyes were as clear and bright as autumn water, with a bit of enchantment and charm as they moved, as if they could capture people’s souls.

Bai Sulin’s appearance is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, but what is even more moving is the unique temperament she exudes. She has the cunning and mystery of a snake demon, as well as an indescribable elegance and nobility.

Xiao Chen had seen countless female fairies, but when he saw Bai Sulin, he couldn’t help but secretly praise her:
“Very smooth!”

The word “run” is not only a compliment to the appearance of the white snake fairy, but also a high recognition of her overall temperament, which is as clear as spring water and as gentle as jade.
