This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

After Mu Dazhuang thoroughly enraged Mu Dongmei, he knew he was doomed. So when he saw Mu Dongmei rushing towards him, he stopped running and instead closed his eyes to await his death.

Mu Dazhuang did this intentionally. He knew that Mu Dongmei would not let him go. Rather than being tortured to death, he would rather provoke Mu Dongmei and die a quick death.

This cry of "Wait!" rekindled Mu Dazhuang's hope for survival. He just didn't know who would save him this time, and more importantly, whether they could actually save him.

Hearing this voice, Mu Dongmei was also stunned, and then became even angrier. He really couldn't understand why someone would come to save Mu Dazhuang, a man who deserved to die, so many times, while he himself died mysteriously.

Mu Dongmei was determined that no one could stop her from killing Mu Dazhuang this time!

A huge black shadow gradually emerged from the woods. Upon closer inspection, both Mu Dazhuang and Mu Dongmei were stunned – it was a cow!

Mu Dazhuang only cared about surviving and didn't care who it was. After his experience with the tiger demon, he immediately realized that this ox was also a monster.

He thought to himself that he was really destined to meet these monsters. Before, it was the tiger demon who saved him, and now a bull demon has come.

The tiger demon knew his own secrets, but the bull demon probably didn't, so he could take this opportunity to turn the tables on the bull demon.

"Brother Ox... Brother Ox, please save my life! I've gotten lost in this forest and just happened to run into this evil spirit!"

This bull demon was very robust, with hair all over his body like satin, and a pair of short horns on his forehead. He was none other than the lost bull Daben.

After Niu Daben got separated from Qin Qianqian and the others, he searched everywhere but couldn't find them and was very anxious. Many places in this dense forest were very similar, and he got lost again in less than two days.

Previously, it had unintentionally passed through a dense forest and discovered the presence of Zhengzhuang, which overjoyed it. It immediately began searching the vicinity, only to encounter this scene.

It was originally a domestic animal that had become a spirit, and it had an inexplicable affinity for humans. When it saw a demon trying to kill a mortal, it couldn't stand it and immediately jumped out.

"Don't panic. Now that I've encountered him, I certainly won't let him harm anyone. Also, don't call me 'big brother,' I'm a cow..."

“Uh…” Mu Dazhuang and Mu Dongmei looked Niu Daben over carefully, and then paused for a moment.

Mu Dongmei came to her senses, her eyes flashing red, and black energy rising around her body.

"You monster, are you going to stop me too?"

Niu Daben stepped forward, instantly blocking Mu Dazhuang's path, and said to Mu Dongmei:

"I see that your soul is clear and pure, so you probably haven't caused too much killing. The Lord once said that all things have spirits, and we cannot distinguish between good and evil based on appearances. Considering that your cultivation has not been easy, you may leave. I will not harm you."

Mu Dongmei laughed in anger, too lazy to explain, her eyes glowing even redder.

"In that case, I'll kill you too!"

"Stubborn!"

Niu Daben had been following Zheng Zhuang for a long time. Although he had not learned any specific supernatural powers or magic, he had still gained some benefits.

In addition, it possesses some innate talent, so its cultivation level is naturally far superior to that of Mu Dongmei.

When Mu Dongmei saw that her attacks had no effect on Niu Daben, she was also shocked. This bull demon might be even more powerful than the tiger demon.

After he fused with that magic weapon fragment, he also gained some inherited memories, knowing that it was not easy for demons to cultivate and that they needed great opportunities to refine their transverse bones.

He just wanted revenge, but he kept running into two powerful monsters. But he was too unwilling to give up.

Seeing that Mu Dongmei was completely helpless against Niu Daben, Mu Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief; his life was finally saved.

But that's not enough; it would be best to solve the problem once and for all.

"Great Immortal, please kill this evil spirit! He has already killed two people from our village!"

"Didn't you just say that you got lost in this forest and that's how you met him?"

Niu Daben gave a powerful jolt, and Mu Dongmei was sent flying.

"Ah, well... two people from our village died at the hands of evil spirits before, and now he's appeared in this area. Who else could it be but him?"

Niu Daben pondered for a moment, then said to Mu Dongmei:

"Let me ask you, did you also kill two other people?"

Mu Dongmei snorted coldly and said angrily:

"So what if they are? They deserve to die!"

Mu Dazhuang quickly pointed at Mu Dongmei and said to Niu Daben:

"Look, Master Niu! This evil spirit is indiscriminately killing innocent people and shows no remorse. We must not let him escape, otherwise he will surely take revenge on our village!"

Niu Daben sighed and said to Mu Dongmei:

"He's right. I didn't want to take your life, but now it seems I can't let you live!"

After saying that, Niu Daben leaned back, raised his front leg, and his whole body rose up from the ground, instantly transforming into a bull-headed human, and his aura increased several times over.

Mu Dongmei quickly retreated. He was already no match for her before, and now he was even less of a threat.

Even if they are unwilling, they must stay alive so that they will have a chance to take revenge.

Although he couldn't say for sure whether his current state could be considered as living, God had given him a chance for revenge, so he couldn't die in such an unclear way.

Besides, the person who deserves to die is still alive. Even if my soul is scattered, I will make him die first!

Mu Dongmei glared at Mu Dazhuang with hatred, and two lines of bloody tears streamed from her eyes.

He suddenly felt a slight tremor in his chest, and a strange power instantly filled his entire body, while some unfamiliar yet familiar spells appeared in his mind.

It turned out that after sensing his intense resentment, the fragment of the magical artifact actively accelerated its fusion with him.

Mu Dongmei had become much more sober by this point, realizing that even in her current state, she might not be a match for the bull demon. She decided it was better to retreat first and make further plans after she had become more familiar with the spells.

Thinking of this, he glared at Mu Dazhuang again and then activated one of the spells.

Soul Light Escape!

Niu Daben did not expect Mu Dongmei, whose previous attacks were completely haphazard, to suddenly use this move. In addition, Mu Dongmei's escape light was too fast, and it was too late to chase her.

"Forget it, at least he ran fast. I'll deal with him next time I see him."

Niu Daben sighed and transformed back into his ox form.

"Great Immortal, why did you stop chasing? This evil spirit suffered a loss this time and will definitely come back for revenge. Our village will be in big trouble then!"

When Mu Dazhuang saw Niu Daben stop, he became anxious. He knew very well that as long as Mu Dongmei was alive, she would come back to kill him sooner or later.

Niu Daben also felt a little embarrassed, and after a pause, he said:

“Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll stay in your village for a while. If he dares to come, I’ll kill him to eliminate any future trouble.”

Niu Daben also had his own plans. Since the master's aura had appeared nearby, it was possible that someone in the village had seen him. He might as well go and find out.

Upon hearing this, Mu Dazhuang was overjoyed. He was just about to find a reason to lure the bull demon back to the village to protect him when the demon brought it up first.

This bull demon looks a bit silly, but he's not a bad person. Plus, bulls are vegetarians, so he probably won't eat people.

However, even if they really do eat people, so what? As long as they don't eat themselves, what does it matter to them whether others live or die?

Thinking of this, Mu Dazhuang quickly feigned surprise and flattered:

"Really? That's wonderful! Immortal Niu, you are truly a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. On behalf of the entire village, thank you, Immortal Niu! You are truly..."

Mu Dazhuang's flattery made Niu Daben feel very pleased, and he completely forgot his earlier suspicions.

The man and the ox then headed towards Qingmu Village.

After walking through the forest of green trees, Niu Daben stamped his foot and said:

Have you seen any outsiders in your village recently?

Mu Dazhuang's heart skipped a beat. Could this bull demon also have some connection with that outsider? He cautiously probed:

"Why did the master suddenly ask this?"

Niu Daben sighed softly, somewhat wistfully saying:

“My master has not returned for a long time. Sister Qianqian and I came out to look for him. I accidentally got lost, but I sensed my master’s presence nearby, so I asked this question.”

Mu Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief. This bull demon was so powerful that its master must be a legendary immortal. If that outsider was an immortal, how could he tolerate him and Gouzi treating him like that?

"I see. Recently, the people in our village rescued someone from outside. That person was seriously injured and almost died. He certainly couldn't be the master of the immortal."

“That’s right. My master is such a person. If he doesn’t want you to see him, even if he stands in front of you, you won’t be able to see him.”

Niu Daben nodded. In his mind, Zheng Zhuang was a god-like figure, and no one could hurt him, so he didn't think much of it.

The man and the ox traveled for a while and soon returned to Mu Dazhuang's house.

Mu Dazhuang was in a bit of a predicament. The bull demon had come back with him, but how to settle it was a problem.

When it gets light, how will Dad explain this cow?

He wasn't worried about not being able to explain things clearly to his father, but he was afraid that if his father's temper angered the bull demon and it left, he would be in danger.

Niu Daben seemed to sense Mu Dazhuang's concerns and grinned, saying:

“Your family looks quite well-off; you must have a cowshed. I’ll just stay there and not attract attention. If that evil spirit comes again, I can catch him off guard.”

"Brilliant! This plan is brilliant, but... it's a bit unfair to you, Great Immortal. Don't worry, Great Immortal, I will definitely inform my family and they will absolutely not let you do any work." Mu Dazhuang quickly agreed.

"Work? Tilling the land? No problem, no problem. I haven't tilled the land in a long time and I'm itching to do it. Let me do it. I'm a pro at tilling the land. Back in the day... cough, just don't be too deliberate. Just be casual."

Niu Daben recalled the scene of plowing the fields at a farmer's house and felt a strange sense of nostalgia, but suddenly realized that this was not in line with his identity as a great immortal, so he quickly changed his words.

Do monsters also need to farm?

Mu Dazhuang never dreamed that Niu Daben would say such a thing, and he was stunned and speechless for a long time...
