C730 Great Devil
Lin Cheng realized that the Demonic Beast might have been able to tell that he was hiding something from the Demonic Beast formula. Or perhaps it had seen through his intentions, but he did not say anything. Even if this Demonic Beast was a top expert, Lin Cheng would not honestly hand over the pill formula that he had worked so hard to find just because of a few simple words.
If this Demonic Beast was directly asked for, Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't rather die than give it to him. Using the pill formula to exchange for the lives of him, Zhu Ziqiao, and the other two, this was not shameful at all. It was just like when facing a strong enemy whose strength far exceeded his own, escaping wasn't shameful at all. As long as it was not a loss of courage.
However, since this Demonic Beast did not directly ask about the pill formula, Lin Cheng naturally avoided it.
As for whether or not this would anger the Demonic Beast, Lin Cheng had a certain degree of certainty.
If this Demonic Beast really cared about the pill formula this much and only wanted to kill because Lin Cheng did not obediently hand it over with both hands, this pill formula would instead become a protective talisman for Lin Cheng and the other two.
As long as the Demonic Beast did not obtain the pill formula, it would not easily kill them.
And if this Demonic Beast didn't care about the pill formula that much, then it naturally wouldn't start a massacre just because he avoided it.
Lin Cheng admitted that there was a huge gap between his strength and the Demonic Beast. In front of this Demonic Beast, he might even be inferior to an ant. However, this didn't mean that Lin Cheng didn't have the strength to resist. Compared to this Demonic Beast, Lin Cheng was a weakling, not a slave.
Sure enough, although there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the Demonic Beast's eyes, however, it didn't do anything to Lin Cheng because of this. It just said, "You are merely a Divine Ability Stage, but your skill in alchemy is comparable to Pill King's. It seems like those few Red Flame Fruits aren't a waste. "
Lin Cheng was startled when he heard this, although he had a bitter smile on his face.
As expected!
The matter of him stealing the Red Flame Fruit back then had really not been concealed from this Demonic Beast.
"Junior offends..."
Lin Cheng cupped his fists. Just as he was about to apologize, he was interrupted by the Demonic Beast.
The Demonic Beast looked at Lin Cheng with a burning gaze and said, "You, a kid from the Homo Clan, do have some guts. You have already discovered me before you stole the Red Flame Fruit. But you still dare to steal the Red Flame Fruit. You have reached such a realm in such a short period of time. It wasn't a fluke. "
"This is indeed an affront from this junior."
Lin Cheng smiled bitterly. He had stolen someone's Spirit Fruit, but someone had come knocking on his door. No matter how he tried to deny it, it would not make sense. Furthermore, he had no intention of quibbling. Just as he had predicted, everything in this secret realm was under the control of this Demonic Beast. There was nothing that could be hidden from it.
"You don't have to say this. You don't have to worry. I won't cause trouble for you just because of a few Red Flame Fruits. Your Homo Clan has always been such a rascal. I'm already used to it." The Demonic Beast snorted.
Lin Cheng was stunned. From what he heard, it seemed like this Demonic Beast had dealt with other people before. Could it be those experts from the Ancient Times?
Zhu Ziqiao and Green Snake, on the other hand, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Ever since the Demonic Beast appeared, the two girls had been in an extremely tense state. Zhu Ziqiao was still alright. After all, she was also a Peak of Divine Ability Stage, so she could still barely hold on.
However, Green Snake was different.
Although this Demonic Beast did not deliberately display its own pressure, it was still a Top Expert after all. Just that unintentional pressure was enough to make Green Snake tremble in fear. The Spirit Power in his meridians was about to stop circulating.
If it was during normal times when he encountered such a powerhouse, Green Snake would definitely run away at all costs. He wouldn't even be able to raise the thought of resisting. The difference between the two was too great. This was not something that any magical equipment or other factors could make up for.
However, Green Snake forcefully stopped his uncontrollable thoughts. She didn't escape because Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao were still there. She was Lin Cheng's maidservant. No matter what, she couldn't abandon Lin Cheng and escape alone.
Even if she had to die, she would die for Lin Cheng!
Fortunately, this extremely powerful Demonic Beast did not have any intention of attacking them. Furthermore, it directly said that it did not intend to cause them any trouble. This really made Zhu Ziqiao and Green Snake heave a sigh of relief.
Lin Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief. He did not forget to give Zhu Ziqiao and Green Snake a reassuring look.
Strictly speaking, this could absolutely be considered the greatest crisis that Lin Cheng had encountered. All the things that he had experienced before, even when faced with the fierce pursuit of the Unification Sect... Lin Cheng didn't feel so powerless, because no matter what the situation was... He had at least a way to resolve the crisis, even if it was to escape. At least, he had a chance.
However, when facing this Demonic Beast, Lin Cheng knew how wrong he was when he thought that he might still have the strength to protect himself.
The difference between him and this Demonic Beast was too great, especially in the Tianluo Secret Realm. The rules here were all controlled by this Demonic Beast. The three of them didn't even have the chance to escape. Their lives were completely in the hands of this Demonic Beast.0
Whether they were alive or dead, it all depended on this Demonic Beast's will.
This kind of powerless feeling of being unable to control their own life and death was deeply engraved in Lin Cheng's heart.
"Kid from the Homo Clan, your name is Lin Cheng, right?"
The Demonic Beast seemed to have no intention of listening to Lin Cheng's thoughts. Instead, it asked directly, "What is the current situation of the Nine-prefecture Continent that you mentioned?"
Lin Cheng wasn't surprised that the Demonic Beast knew his name. He composed himself and told everything he knew about the Nine-prefecture Continent. He told him everything in detail, including the fact that the Great Devil was suppressed under the Nine Cauldrons. The Great Devil under the Devil-suppressing Cliff of the Dongzhou was restless. It was very likely that it had already broken through the suppression. He explained everything in detail.
Regardless of whether the Demonic Beast would kill him or not, the opponent wasn't an evil devil. There was no doubt about it.
Since it wasn't an evil demon, then it must be an enemy of an evil demon.
If a great demon really came into being, the Demonic Beast wouldn't be indifferent. At the very least, it would attach great importance to it.
Therefore, Lin Cheng explained it in detail.
As expected!
When the Demonic Beast heard that an evil demon was about to break through the Great Tripod's suppression, it suddenly furrowed its brows. Its entire body was trembling! These evil demons shall be killed! Your Homo Clan, on the other hand, is useless. You only know how to scheme against each other and throw away the glory of your ancestors. No wonder that evil devil would rather suffer than commit suicide. It seemed like... It is waiting for the other great demons to come and rescue it!"
Lin Cheng smiled bitterly. He could only barely resist the power of the Demonic Beast. It was really irrefutable, and he didn't know how to refute it, because although what the Demonic Beast said was unpleasant to the ears, it was the truth.
However, what was going on with the tormented evil devil mentioned by the Demonic Beast?
"Forget it. It's your own business how the Homo Clan fights. It's just that this devil is the common mortal enemy of all the races on this continent."
The Demonic Beast said, "Kid, if you have the chance to kill a devil, what will you do?"
"What?"
Lin Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.
