Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Mo Changning was initially terrified, since the creature that could launch such a silent attack on her must be of a higher cultivation level than hers. However, upon seeing the giant, dark green python in front of her, she calmed down considerably.

People from the Beast Taming Sect naturally look down on demonic beasts. In their hearts, these demonic beasts are resources for their cultivation. When they are alive, they serve as their protectors. After they die, their bodies are treasures that can be used to refine pills or forge weapons. Nothing is wasted. Therefore, even though Gu Yuchuan's aura is very strong, he is not afraid.

She looked at Gu Yuchuan with an arrogant air, her eyes narrowing slightly with intense contempt: "Snake demon, how dare you ambush me! I advise you to immediately give me the antidote and become my demon beast, and I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, your fate will be to be crushed to ashes, with no way out."

Gu Yuchuan's mouth gaped open, and his brows furrowed. He was completely bewildered. What was going on? Was he some kind of weak demon beast? No, that couldn't be right. He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while the other was at the third level. His cultivation was so much higher, so why was the other so confident? Yet, he looked so ordinary. Could this be a human cultivator? An ordinary cultivator?

He wasn't going to tolerate Mo Changning, and used his tail to give her a hard slap. Instantly, a red mark appeared on her face, and she immediately screamed.

"You little snake demon, how dare you lay a hand on me, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect! In our Beast Taming Sect, even a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast that dares to fight a disciple will be punished. You're dead!" She was hysterical, her face contorted with rage.

With a thought, Gu Yuchuan conjured a ring of water that bound her neck. The pressure on her neck rendered her speechless, and the suffocating feeling of death brought her back to her senses. The demonic beast before her was far more powerful than her; she couldn't defeat it.

Gu Yuchuan's voice was also filled with killing intent. Now, this cultivator disgusted him: "I ask, you answer. If you say anything unrelated, you will turn into a puddle of thick water right now, and even your soul will be poisoned to death. If you want to cooperate, nod. If you don't want to cooperate, you don't need to move."

She nodded rapidly, afraid that any of her actions would give Gu Yuchuan the wrong impression. Gu Yuchuan was quite satisfied now and removed the restraints from her neck.

"What's your name? Where are you from, cultivator? What brings you here today?"

Gu Yuchuan stared intently at the other person, whose expression was indeed somewhat unnatural: "My name is Mo Changning, and I am a heretical cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect. I came here today because I was really bored cultivating in the immortal sect and wanted to relax in the mortal world."

As Gu Yuchuan condensed water vapor into a water sword, her left arm fell to the ground in an instant. She wanted to scream, but looking into Gu Yuchuan's cold eyes, she couldn't say anything. She felt death approaching. In that instant, she felt as if she had arrived in the glacier of the far north, lying on the millennia-old ice, feeling utterly helpless.

"If you're lying, I'll continue asking you questions. If you're still lying, you can forget about using your right arm."

This is actually a fairly basic interrogation technique. First, ask someone you know something. If they're lying, make them suffer. Then, ask them what you really want to know. The chances of them telling the truth are much higher. After all, verbal coercion is never quite the same. Only when you've truly been hurt will you know the pain, just like Mo Changning is now. She keeps promising that she will never dare to tell any more lies.

However, Gu Yuchuan's next words still shocked him greatly: "Tell me how many cultivators you have in your beekeeping forest, and what defensive formations you have."

She was no fool to have become a cultivator, so how could she not realize that this demonic beast was after the bee-keeping forest? But she wanted to live. She closed her eyes, and tears fell to the ground.

“Alright, I’ll tell you. Besides me, there are two other senior brothers in the Beekeeping Forest: Senior Brother Song, who is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and Senior Brother Wang, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. The Beekeeping Forest also has a low-level Sandstorm Formation, which is quite defensive.”

Gu Yuchuan's mood soured considerably. The defenses of the bee-keeping forest were much stronger than his intelligence had indicated. There were two cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and an array formation. If he were to rush in directly, there would definitely be danger. Fortunately, he was not a true demon beast and possessed intelligence, so he took a detour. Otherwise, he might have really failed.

He continued, "How can I infiltrate this area?"

Mo Changning remained silent for a while, until Gu Yuchuan couldn't help but take action, before she finally spoke: "My lord, I really can't solve this problem. That flag is in Senior Brother Wang's hands, and even Senior Brother Song can't get it, let alone me. I really can't do this."

However, Gu Yuchuan was just asking. Even if the other party said they could take him in, he wouldn't dare to go. After all, the other party was already disabled, which would be very difficult to explain.

"Alright, then let's leave this matter at that. As for the next thing, if you do it well, I won't kill you and will let you go. But if you don't do it well, then prepare to die."

Although Mo Changning was cooperating with Gu Yuchuan, she knew that she might not have a way out and this was just a last struggle. When she suddenly heard that she could live, she was very excited and her voice was trembling with tears.

"You said it, and I will definitely do my best."

Gu Yuchuan laughed, hoping so: "I'll lure your Senior Brother Wang out, ambush and kill her, and you can live."

She felt as if her heart had fallen into an abyss. If she helped the demon beast kill her senior brother, she would never be able to return to the Beast Taming Sect. But if she didn't do it, she would die now. One side was hell, and the other side was also hell. No matter which one she chose, it would be miserable.

However, people tend to choose to live for what's in front of them, and she was no exception: "Okay, I promise you." Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of melancholy, clearly indicating her distress. After she finished writing on the jade slip, Gu Yuchuan didn't let him send it out immediately. He checked it several times, finding nothing wrong. However, he was still worried. He still had two simulation attempts left, precisely for crucial moments like this. If there was anything wrong with the jade slip, he would be doomed. It absolutely couldn't have any problems.

"Find a place to rest. I'll meditate for a while and then send this jade slip. Don't have any ulterior motives. I'm watching you. If you make any rash moves, I won't hesitate to break my promise and kill you. Think it over yourself."
