A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

However, pheasants are, after all, one of the weakest animals here. Feng Jiutian muttered, "Fine, next time I won't catch pheasants, I'll catch rabbits!"

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Feng Jiutian and Jiu Yao lived a life of hardship every day. Feng Jiutian was doing a little better, but Jiu Yao complained about how hard it was every day. This made Feng Jiutian sometimes wonder who was the magical beast between her and Jiu Yao. Shouldn't magical beasts be born to live in nature?

Although Feng Jiutian cannot cultivate here, she has made great progress in speed and agility after this period of training. At least catching rabbits has become very easy for her.

Upon entering the Phoenix Tower, Feng Jiutian learned about it from the inscription at the entrance.

The Phoenix Tower is divided into ten levels, each level smaller than the last, but each level is more dangerous than the last. The higher you go, the stronger the monsters become. However, since each level of the Phoenix Tower is interconnected, this is not absolute. It is possible that some monsters on higher levels might get bored on one level and go down to the next.

In the past two weeks, Feng Jiutian explored the entire first floor of the Phoenix Tower, searching almost every corner carefully. However, she did not find any rare treasures or secret manuals. While disappointed, Feng Jiutian also felt that this was to be expected, as the real treasures should be all up there.

Feng Jiutian felt she had spent enough time on the first floor and decided to head to the second floor. Jiuyao, however, was quite reluctant to do so. Although she had found the first floor rather boring, but...

For the nth time, Feng Jiutian asked Jiuyao, "Jiuyao, what exactly is inside this Phoenix Tower? Why do you hate this place so much?"

Jiuyao pursed her lips and spoke after a long while: "Actually, this first level is just the entrance to the Phoenix Tower. It doesn't even count as entering the Phoenix Tower. The real Phoenix Tower is ten times, even a hundred or a thousand times, more dangerous than this!"

"This isn't considered the Phoenix Tower?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian was quite surprised. The animals and plants here were far superior to those outside. He hadn't expected that this was not even within the Phoenix Tower's range. He wondered what the second floor of the Phoenix Tower would be like!

Thinking it over, Feng Jiutian became determined: "In that case, we must continue to climb higher!"

Jiuyao knew that Feng Jiutian was determined. Although she really disliked this place, she didn't say anything more.

The two arrived together in front of a circle of light. Stepping into the circle of light would teleport them directly to the second floor of the Phoenix Tower.

Feng Jiutian did not hesitate.

After a brief moment of silence, Feng Jiutian felt herself land on the ground. Before she could even open her eyes, she suddenly heard the sound of a gust of wind.

Feng Jiutian felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively flipped backward. However, even though she dodged quickly, a bloody scratch was still left on her face.

Feng Jiutian looked closely and saw a monkey standing not far away, baring its teeth and claws at her, with a lock of her hair in its claws.

Feng Jiutian could tell at a glance that this ape was at least a third-tier magical beast!

Upon seeing Feng Jiutian injured, Xiao Jin flew into a rage. It flew out from Feng Jiutian's sleeve and hurled its massive body at the ape. However, the ape nimbly dodged the attack and continued to glare at Feng Jiutian with bared teeth and claws.

Feng Jiutian was immediately surprised. Although Xiao Jin had not used its full strength in that attack, it was still a sixth-order magical beast. Logically speaking, a third-order ape should not have been able to dodge it. However, this ape not only dodged it, but also dodged it with great ease.

Little Gold was thoroughly enraged by the monkey's actions. It flicked its tongue and lashed out at the monkey with its massive tail as fast as lightning.

"Squeak!"

This time, the ape couldn't dodge and was sent flying by Xiao Jin's tail. It immediately got up from the ground and shouted loudly at Feng Jiutian and Xiao Jin.

Feng Jiutian was even more astonished. A typical third-tier magical beast would be half-dead if it wasn't killed by Xiao Jin's strike, but this ape seemed to be completely unharmed!

As the apes shouted, a rustling sound suddenly came from all around. Soon, dozens more apes appeared, baring their teeth and claws and yelling at Feng Jiutian and Xiao Jin.

Feng Jiutian's expression gradually turned serious. He was already struggling to deal with just one ape, and now there were dozens of them...

As Feng Jiutian was pondering, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. It was Jiuyao who had also teleported over. Jiuyao glared angrily at the surrounding apes and let out a low roar.

At this moment, the monkeys, who had been so arrogant and domineering just moments before, suddenly became panicked and ran away in a panic, as if they had seen some terrible natural enemy.

Feng Jiutian's gaze towards Jiuyao changed slightly. What exactly is this girl's true form? She's so powerful!

Just as Feng Jiutian was about to speak, the fluffy hair clip on her head suddenly flashed, and then the snow fox appeared.

"Master, be careful! There's demonic energy here!"

Demonic energy?

Feng Jiutian's expression changed slightly, but after a moment he understood. This Phoenix Tower had existed for countless years, and demons were formed from natural objects of heaven and earth. Everything could potentially become a demon, so it was not surprising that there were demons here.

Unlike Feng Jiutian, Xuehu's reaction was not calm. For some reason, the demonic energy here always gave him a feeling of suppression, making him unconsciously want to submit.

But he knew that only the Demon King could possess such power. However, the previous Demon King had been dead for a long time, and the new Demon King did not possess the power of the Demon King. Therefore, he could not possibly exert such a deterrent effect on him. Moreover, the Demon King's status was extremely noble. How could he possibly come to a place like the Phoenix Tower?

The snow fox told Feng Jiutian everything. After listening, Feng Jiutian's expression gradually became serious: "So, it's possible that a demon king has also materialized inside?"

The snow fox immediately shook its head: "The Demon King is blessed by heaven and earth, born with the power of nature. However, only those who inherit the power of the Demon King can become the true Demon King. There is only one Demon King in this world, and naturally there is only one Demon King!"

Feng Jiutian didn't know much about demons, and after listening to Xuehu's words, she was left with a blank expression.

However, since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it and find a place to settle down first.

The environment on the second floor looks similar to that on the first floor.

However, to her surprise, just as Feng Jiutian pushed aside a clump of weeds, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared, glaring angrily at her.

Before Feng Jiutian could figure out what was going on, the owner of those eyes was already furious and attacked Feng Jiutian with lightning speed.
