I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

No matter how much the Great自在天魔 tried to persuade him, Zhang Chen was determined to dig out the treasure.

Anyway, he couldn't take this treasure with him, and it wasn't realistic to expect the Ape Tribe to travel eight thousand miles to dig it up. So, what was the point of keeping it? It was better to dig it out directly, kill that damned ant, and then buy time for 'Di' to grow.

"Stop nagging, watch me!"

Zhang Chen looked at the black and white light flowing within the cave. The next moment, he extended his palm, and five feathers surrounded by five-colored light emerged from his palm, circulating the divine light of the five elements above the nest, constantly luring the black and white light from the pit.

As expected, as Zhang Chen released the essence of the five elements, the black and white light in the pit flickered, becoming restless, like a small animal emerging from its lair, tentatively flying towards the five feathers.

The Great自在天魔, seeing Zhang Chen's actions, couldn't help but slap his forehead, simply turning away, unable to bear to watch any longer: "What a waste of treasure! Old Peacock guarded this creation for billions of years, and you're just wasting it like this! What a desecration of heaven's gifts!"

In his opinion, this was indeed a waste of treasure.

The two streams of light seemed like spiritual snakes, constantly and cautiously probing back and forth at the cave entrance. Finally, after an hour, seemingly confirming that there was no danger, they emerged from the underground cave and flew towards the five feathers, seemingly wanting to devour their power.

The power of the five elements represented by these five feathers was indeed the nemesis of the treasure beneath the pit. As the two black and white streams of light swirled up and entered the territory of the five-colored light, plunging into its center, the five-colored light rolled up, transforming into a ball of energy, trapping the black and white light.

Heaven and earth and all things are mutually generating and mutually restraining. Even though the black and white light could rival the seventh order, it was unable to resist the five-colored divine light at this moment.

"The five elements are the evolution of yin and yang, specializing in devouring yin and yang to strengthen themselves. Of course, conversely, yin and yang can also devour the five elements. However, the five elements in my hand have been tempered by the peacock for billions of years, and have long been fully mature. Even if they can only exert the power of the first order in my hand, they are naturally able to restrain those two streams of black and white light, which they can never shake." Zhang Chen looked at the black and white light, gradually understanding the principle.

Sometimes, a high level doesn't necessarily mean strong combat power, especially for auxiliary divine powers.

Zhang Chen's five-colored divine light was an auxiliary divine power.

"Now that you've trapped this treasure, the next step is to use your magic power to refine it and make it recognize you as its master. This treasure is still in the incubation stage and doesn't yet possess spirituality. Now is the best time to refine it by suppressing it with the light of the five elements." Seeing that things were irreversible, the Great自在天魔 spoke up, pointing out the way.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen didn't hesitate, directly infusing his magic power, along with his spiritual imprint, into the black and white light.

As Zhang Chen's essence, energy, and spirit were infused into it, a strand of his soul was also infused, lodging within it, replacing its spirituality. The black and white light flickered, transforming into a chaotic membrane, with two streams of black and white light wrapped inside.

Zhang Chen could feel a strange connection between himself and the two streams of black and white light, as if they were his second body.

"Boy, have you thought this through? Taking this treasure away from this land of innate creation will ruin its growth. Unless you nurture it with magic power day and night, but you will eventually have to leave here. When that time comes, this treasure will lose the nourishment of magic power and will definitely stop evolving, wasting its immense potential." The Great自在天魔 kept urging.

"Actually, I have another idea in my heart. Since I will eventually leave the Ape Tribe, I might as well leave it in the Ape Tribe, receiving their offerings. With the offerings of the Ape Tribe's faith, this treasure should still have a chance to survive. If the Ape Tribe grows stronger one day, maybe it can also benefit from it. If I leave this treasure here, who knows when that peacock will recover its strength and come back to kill us, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?" Zhang Chen said plausibly.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great自在天魔's pupils shrank, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, and ultimately said nothing, agreeing with Zhang Chen's approach.

Zhang Chen put the treasure back into his sleeve, then turned to look at the Great自在天魔: "How do we get back next?"

He was concerned about the Ape Tribe's crisis. If that god-level ant launched a surprise attack, then all his efforts would be in vain.

"Wait for the wind to come," the Great自在天魔 said.

"Wait for the wind to come?" Zhang Chen looked surprised.

"Wait for that monster to inhale," the Great自在天魔 said, seeing that Zhang Chen didn't understand.

Zhang Chen's mouth twitched, a hint of helplessness on his face: "When will I be able to travel tens of thousands of miles with a single thought?"

"Keep dreaming," the Great自在天魔 said unceremoniously: "Even many gods don't have the means to fly and escape, let alone you?"

Zhang Chen ignored the Great自在天魔's nagging, and instead stood at the bird's nest, looking at it, feeling a little regretful: "This must be a good treasure, but it's a pity I can't take it with me."

"Don't underestimate this nest. This nest absorbs the peacock's spiritual essence day and night, and it's probably not far from giving birth to intelligence and becoming a spirit," the Great自在天魔 said.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He lowered his head to look at the nest, his eyes full of curiosity: "This first heaven of the spiritual world is truly full of creation. No wonder the human race's ancient books describe this place as the supreme holy land."

"For those with strength and ability, this place is of course full of friendliness. For those with weak strength, like the ants of the human race, this is hell," the Great自在天魔 added from the side.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen fell silent. The people of this world were enslaved by the gods, living a precarious life. It was unlikely that any people would want to live in this world.

Zhang Chen put away the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, and silently stood in front of the cliff waiting. Suddenly, at a certain moment, the wind rose in the sky and earth, and the distant sea of clouds began to churn. Before the Great自在天魔 could remind him, Zhang Chen had already transformed into a vampire bat and soared into the sky, pulled away by the huge suction force.

The coming was hurried, and the going was also hurried.

Zhang Chen once again used the same trick, turning into an ice cube to accelerate in the clouds, and then, with the increase in speed, broke free from the pull of the suction and rushed towards the primitive forest below.

This back and forth was already the dawn of the second day.

When Zhang Chen appeared in the tribe, 'Di' was sitting at the entrance of the village, wiping his weapon.

"Why are you up so early?" Zhang Chen asked, looking at 'Di' shrouded in the morning light.

The young man's face was now full of determination.

“I didn't sleep all night. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that we should migrate the tribe first, and then I will challenge Lou alone. If I succeed in the challenge and kill Lou, the tribe can naturally survive. When that time comes, it won't be too late for everyone to move back. If I fail in the challenge, everyone doesn't have to worry about Lou tribe's revenge. Escaping early can also increase the hope of survival.” The young man 'Di's' eyes were full of determination.

Zhang Chen looked at 'Di' with a teasing look in his eyes, and said calmly: “You plan to challenge Lou alone?”

“That’s right!” The young man 'Di' nodded affirmatively, then looked at Zhang Chen with pleading eyes: “Big brother, can I ask you to take care of the tribe's people and help them escape?”

Zhang Chen didn't answer the young man's words, but instead asked a question: “How confident are you in dealing with that Lou?”

“I have no confidence at all! After becoming a god, I know the gap between me and him even more, and I know how desperate the tribe is. The Ape tribe simply cannot stop the revenge of a seventh-order god. Even if he has been severely injured, he is definitely not someone I can resist. I only hate that there is not enough time. If I had ten years, I would definitely be able to kill him easily!” 'Di's' voice was full of pain.

“There are gods, there are tribes. When the god dies, the tribe disperses. Since you have become a god, as long as you escape, it will be easy for you to form a tribe in the future. Why care about the life and death of the tribe in front of you?” Zhang Chen asked.

“Because I am still human!” 'Di' looked at Zhang Chen, lowered his head and stroked the cold spear: “As long as you are human, you cannot get rid of the shackles of emotions, and you will not be so rational.”

Zhang Chen looked at Di and patted 'Di's' shoulder: “You don't have to worry, I have already found a way to deal with Lou. It's fine if Lou doesn't come, but if Lou comes, then he can forget about going back.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chen patted Di's shoulder: “Instead of worrying about Lou, you might as well think about how to successfully devour Lou tribe and expand the number of your own tribe after Lou dies.”

“Big brother, do you have a way?” The young man's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

Zhang Chen patted the young man's shoulder: “What you have to do now is eat, sleep, and appease people's hearts.”

While talking, Zhang Chen walked towards the village chief's house. Now that Houtu has fallen, it is time for him to fish in troubled waters and look for information about the Ape Tribe Emperor.

The Ape Tribe's god has fallen, and the entire tribe's morale is scattered. Some people have even begun to prepare to escape. If it weren't for Lei's timely comfort, saying that he would soon find a new god to protect the tribe, I'm afraid the Ape Tribe would have fallen apart by now.

Although Lei was comforting everyone, he did not reveal the fact that 'Di' had become a god. It would be better to say it when the two were dueling, so that everyone could see 'Di's' magical powers more directly.

Lei is also a smart person. If 'Di' can defeat Lou, he will definitely become the new god of the tribe. If 'Di' is defeated, then the entire tribe will disappear, so what's the point of saying it?

The entire tribe was shrouded in dark clouds. Zhang Chen used an invisibility talisman and came all the way to Lei's room. He saw that Lei's room was decorated similarly to his own, very simple and crude.

Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the entire room, and golden light flashed in his eyes, but he did not find any mysterious traces in the room.

“Thinking about it, if Lei's ancestors escaped with secrets, it would be too conspicuous and they might not be able to escape the hunt of their nemesis.” Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes, retracted the golden light in his eyes, and then moved his gaze to the animal skin pressed on the bed. It was a bear skin.

“If I were Lei, where would I hide things?” Zhang Chen came to the bed and turned over the bear skin, only to find that it was just an ordinary roll of bear skin, without any peculiarities.

He scanned the entire room again, and checked all the nooks and crannies, but still found nothing.

“If you were Lei, where would you hide the inheritance of the Ape Tribe?” Zhang Chen summoned the petals left by the Great自在天魔 and asked.

The Great自在天魔's eyes rolled around: “Is there a possibility that nothing exists at all?”

“Impossible! There can't be such a coincidence in the world.” Zhang Chen shook his head and denied the Great自在天魔's words.

Looking at Zhang Chen's determined face, the Great自在天魔's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Zhang Chen walked out of the room and wandered around the yard. Maybe Lei's ancestors buried the inheritance in the yard, but after Zhang Chen wandered around, he still found nothing.

“Could it be that when the house was built and the foundation was laid, the inheritance was buried under the foundation?” Zhang Chen looked at the foundation of the house again.

Seeing that Zhang Chen had the urge to dig the foundation, the Great自在天魔 helplessly said: “Boy, don't think too much. When you help them kill Lou, and then give the mystery to the entire tribe, then Lei will definitely believe you. Just ask directly if you have anything to ask. Why bother groping around here?”

“What you said makes sense.”

After searching for a long time without finding any clues, Zhang Chen could only nod in agreement, and then turned and left.

The flow of time seemed to slow down, every minute and every second passed so painfully. All the people of the Ape Tribe were wiping the weapons in their hands, and at the same time packing their bags.

If Lei hadn't repeatedly assured them that he could find a way to restrain the other party's god, everyone would have embarked on the road of escape again and looked for new tribes to join.

But even with Lei's guarantee, everyone was still secretly making preparations in private. As long as the Ape Tribe did not have a god to appear to save the situation, and there was the slightest disadvantage, everyone would definitely disperse immediately and escape as early as possible.

And Lou tribe's counterattack came earlier than everyone expected.

In the evening, as the sun set, a divine light flowed in the distance, mightily pressing towards the Ape Tribe. The tall Lou, surrounded by divine light, seemed to be a saint in the world, leading the people of Lou tribe to encircle and kill them.

“Gagagaga! Houtu's divine light has been extinguished, I guess she is already dead. Everyone in the Ape Tribe, listen up, hand over Houtu's body, and this god will demote you to slaves and let you continue to live. If you dare to be stubborn, you will all be killed and swallowed, and become my ancestor's meal.” Lou's voice was full of domineering, condescendingly overlooking all living beings.

At this moment, looking at Lou who had arrived, the young man 'Di' turned around and looked at Zhang Chen's residence. Seeing that Zhang Chen did not move, he slowly stood up, the divine light around his body slowly rising, and the spear in his hand slowly clenched. The young man's voice was like thunder: “Lou, if you want to annex the Ape Tribe, you still need to ask me!”

Although he didn't know why Zhang Chen didn't take action, seeing that the other party had already forced his way to the front, he had to step forward and hold on.

He is the hope of the tribe, the future of the tribe, and he must not retreat in the slightest.
