Monster, come to my bowl

Benlang City, the dome hall.

Xiao Hongtu and Xiao Tong looked at the mirror in front of them with complicated expressions.

In the mirror, a stunningly beautiful woman with disheveled hair was shouting to the sky.

Seeing her screaming at the top of her lungs, it seemed that she had suffered a great injustice but had no place to vent.

It was the impotent and furious Western Emperor.

"Hurry! Keep striking it with lightning!" Xiao Tong urged excitedly.

"It's useless." Cai Ji did not meet her request and simply shook his head to refuse.

"Why not chop it?" Xiao Tong raised his head, looking as if he was still unsatisfied.

"The fight is over, why bother chopping?" Cai Ji put away the mirror.

"But the Western Emperor didn't suffer much damage! Seeing how eager it is to fight, it can at least withstand dozens of lightning strikes! How can it hide if you don't cripple it?" Xiao Tong was a little dissatisfied.

"It's not that I don't want to strike it, it's just that I can't afford it now!" Cai Ji shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Long-range spellcasting consumes a lot of energy. The energy it takes to withstand the thunder is at most 20% of my energy. I'm not in the spiritual vein, how can I waste my energy with it?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Xiao Tong then realized that she had overlooked something.

It was she who proposed it before, saying that as long as Cai Ji stayed in the spirit vein, he could fight against the Western Emperor.

But now, Cai Ji is not here.

"You have the guts to attack, but not the courage to show up! You shameless rat, I know you are watching, get out here!" At this moment, the Western Emperor's angry shouts were heard through the telescope again.

Not only did it yell and curse, its sight was also locked onto the telescope's perspective.

When I was fighting with the Black Tiger Demon Emperor just now, I was distracted and couldn't sense anything unusual.

At this time, the enemy had already fled, and with its full concentration, it finally discovered a strange fluctuation of spiritual power in the air!

This wave of spiritual power seems familiar!

It had encountered this once before, when it was returning home after a meeting with the big monsters.

"I won't come out. I'll piss you off to death!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tong couldn't help but yell at the mirror.

Unfortunately, she didn't know the Holy Word, so she couldn't get what she wanted to say into Xidi's mind, otherwise she would definitely make the other party come to hunt her down overnight.

Cai Ji glanced at the childish grassland queen and picked up the telescope.

Want to provoke him to speak?

He won't be fooled!

As long as you don't speak, the Western Emperor will become more suspicious.

Bang!

At this moment, the telescope in his hand suddenly trembled.

The picture above disappeared instantly.

A crack appeared on the mirror!

It turned out that the Western Emperor didn't get a response, so he was so angry that he launched a spiritual attack again.

The bronze mirror could not withstand the backlash of spiritual energy and exploded on the spot.

"What's going on? Does it know we are watching it?" Xiao Tong was shocked and asked nervously.

"It sensed someone was watching it, but it didn't know who it was. The explosion of the magic weapon was caused by the backlash of spiritual power." Cai Ji explained, frowning and said, "Fortunately, I had your suggestion, otherwise I would have been in great danger if I had rashly gone to meet it."

"Ah?" Xiao Tong was delighted at first, then asked in confusion: "You can easily control the Western Emperor, why is it so dangerous?"

"It's just a superficial control." Cai Ji shook his head and said seriously, "Those moves just now can only hurt the skin and fur, and can't hurt the Western Emperor! On the contrary, the black fog magic it cast on the Black Tiger Demon Emperor cannot be dispelled even by the Holy Word. If it had fallen on me, I would probably have died long ago."

When the Western Emperor released the misty black deer just now, he first looked at the use of the black deer, and then cast the Holy Word to dispel it.

Who would have thought that after the Holy Word was finished, the black deer was intact!

After being helpless, he used the tactic of besieging Wei to save Zhao, first attacking the Western Emperor, and then using his own spiritual power as a cost to help the Black Tiger Demon Emperor recover.

"The Holy Word is useless?" Xiao Tong was surprised again when he heard this.

"Isn't the Holy Word omnipotent? Could it be that the sorcery is too powerful and you don't have enough spiritual energy?" Xiao Hongtu on the side also looked shocked.

“It’s not spiritual power!” Cai Ji shook his head and said with a wry smile: “The magic used by the Western Emperor is not from this world, but from another world.”

Another world?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongtu and Xiao Tong looked at each other in confusion.

"Manager Cai, the other world you mentioned is the legendary demon world?" asked the old man.

"That's about right." Cai Ji nodded and told the truth: "I encountered a piece of Demon Moon fragment before. I tried to destroy it by force, but failed. I used the Holy Word to inquire about its origins and got the answer that the fragment came from another world. Not only is it immortal, but even the Holy Word is ineffective against it! The magic that the Western Emperor just cast should be the same."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongtu fell into deep thought.

Xiao Tong reacted quickly and said without hesitation: "That magic seems to harm the soul. If you make your soul more stable, you should be able to withstand it, right?"

"That's a good idea!" Cai Ji's eyes lit up and he praised, "Your Majesty is right. A good ironsmith must be strong himself! As long as my spirit is strong enough, I won't be afraid of it using this trick."

"Hehe!" Xiao Tong smiled complacently and asked, "Do you think that after what happened today, will the Western Emperor give up on coming to Beizhou to kidnap me?"

“No!” Cai Ji shook his head and said seriously, “Capturing you for interrogation was a boast made by the Western Emperor at the Monster Clan Conference. If he gives up halfway, his prestige among the monster clan will be greatly shaken! What’s more, his prestige is not enough to begin with, so in order to achieve his goal, he will definitely try every means to come here.”

"Then don't you have to stay by my side forever?" Xiao Tong said with a strange expression.

"That depends on when the Western Emperor will come." Cai Ji touched his chin and changed the subject: "But I won't be idle either! Since I'm here, I might as well take this opportunity to help you make some magic weapons to deal with the monsters, as well as the things needed for the National Strengthening Plan. Let's do it all together."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Tong nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "The demon-slaying swords used to strengthen magic weapons can be collected at any time. Anyway, our people usually use bows and rarely use demon-slaying swords. But we don't have glutinous rice, we only have naan."

"Ah?" Cai Ji was a little confused.

A long time ago, he asked Wang Tiechui to notify all states to make preparations. However, after all the efforts, Beizhou didn't even prepare glutinous rice cakes.

This is too relaxed!

"Manager Cai, it's not that we don't try our best, it's that we don't have glutinous rice here, not even any rice! You want thousands and thousands of glutinous rice cakes, we can't make them!" Xiao Tong explained.

"Then how do we replenish the spiritual energy of the Demon Suppression Guards after casting the strengthening spell?" Cai Ji was frowning.

"This is easy!" Xiao Tong was well prepared and said confidently, "Beizhou is different from Zhongzhou. Everyone here can ride a horse, and there are not many monsters on the grassland. As long as the order is given, the people of each tribe can ride to Benlang City in two or three days! So I decided to strengthen the location in Benlang City. After the demon guards have used up their spiritual power, they will immediately go to the spiritual veins to practice! This way, there is no need for glutinous rice, as long as there is food to eat."

"Then do as you say!" Cai Ji then remembered that the people of Beizhou could move quickly, unlike the inconvenient transportation in Zhongzhou. He nodded and said, "Her Majesty, please order the collection of demon-slaying swords. I will help you make various magic weapons first, and then go to your spiritual veins to restore your spiritual power."

"Deal!" Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction.
