Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Chapter 17: Capturing the Spirit

"Brother Helan does look shy, Miss Zi Yan, you shouldn't tease him like this. Although Brother Helan looks dashing, he is actually a gentle and shy person inside." Jin Xuan advised calmly.

"No, I really couldn't help it. Such a beautiful face, with a dull expression, and those tattered clothes, I really couldn't help it...hahahaha" Yu Xiaobai said while gesturing, and then laughed out loud while holding his stomach.

"Is this what you are laughing at?" Jin Xuan was confused by Yu Xiaobai's words. He thought she was deliberately trying to make Helan Ruofeng blush, but only now did he realize it was because of his clothes.

"Puchi..." Jin Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought about what he had misunderstood.

"Look, you are laughing yourself, but you don't allow me to laugh...hahaha." Yu Xiaobai had no image at all in front of Jin Xuan.

In the corner, Zi Yan's voice sounded again at this moment: I may never be able to face people in this life, it's all because of this stupid dog, stupid dog...

When Helan Ruofeng calmed down and came back, Jin Xuan and Yu Xiaobai looked at him with strange expressions with clenched teeth.

They tried to suppress their laughter, their lips were tightly closed, but their eyes revealed an amusement that was difficult to conceal.

"Brother Helan, what happened? Why did you come back? And why did you leave me so rudely?" Jin Xuan spoke first, his voice carrying a hint of teasing, but he tried to remain serious.

"Yes, Master Helan, what happened just now that made you leave in such a hurry?" There was curiosity and cunning in her eyes, and Yu Xiaobai also echoed.

"It's nothing serious, I just suddenly remembered that there are some things I need to deal with." He tried to cover up his inner embarrassment with a calm tone. Helan Ruofeng replied calmly.

Jin Xuan and Yu Xiaobai looked at each other, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, obviously not believing his explanation.

"Oh, I see. Let's move on!" Helan Ruofeng deliberately ignored the two people's expressions as they tried to hold back their laughter, and turned around to walk further away.

Seeing how shocked he was, Jin Xuan and Yu Xiaobai knew that if they continued to tease him, he might get angry, so they quickly put away their smiles and quickly followed his pace. Along the way, the three of them fell into silence, with only the sound of footsteps echoing in the silent air.

After crossing the stream, they came to a place full of red stones. Slowly, Helan Ruofeng realized that something was watching them, so he signaled Jin Xuan and Yu Xiaobai to pretend they didn't know and continue moving forward.

When the thing appeared for the second time, he immobilized it with a spell.

"What is this? It's so cute!" Yu Xiaobai excitedly went forward to hug it.

"Wait, don't touch it yet." Jin Xuan reminded immediately.

"This is a demon spirit transformed from a tree. It won't harm people." Helan Ruofeng explained.

"Then can I put it in my bag?" Yu Xiaobai handed the Qiankun bag to Helan Ruofeng with a sly smile on his face.

"Of course you can, but there's a crocodile in your bag, aren't you afraid that he will eat it?" Helan Ruofeng asked with a smile.

"What should we do then?" Yu Xiaobai instantly felt like a deflated ball, losing all his previous excitement.

"How about? How about? Brother Jin Xuan, I'll give the crocodile to you!" She set her sights on Jin Xuan with a smile on her face.

"Sure." Jin Xuan responded readily. They were all monsters anyway, so a crocodile could be considered one.

With the help of Helan Ruofeng, Yu Xiaobai took in the first demon spirit.

They continued to move forward and captured more than a dozen monsters of various kinds.

"How about the three of us have a competition to see who can catch the most?" Yu Xiaobai suggested cheerfully. It would be so boring if the three of them worked together slowly to catch fish.

"Sure, we all know how to use the Qiankun bag and spells now anyway." Jin Xuan agreed immediately.

"Aren't you afraid that the crocodile will eat all your spirits?" Yu Xiaobai asked with a smirk.

"Don't be afraid. Look, like this, like this, like this..." Jin Xuan swung the Qiankun bag in his hand and threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and then picked it up again in a mean manner.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng were both stunned by his sudden rush of attention. This method was indeed feasible.

After locking onto them, the three of them began to separate and compete in catching demons in Red Stone Mountain.

This area was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The red stones shone with strange light in the sun, as if hiding countless secrets. The evil spirits would jump out from time to time, but before they could figure out who they were, they would be put into the bag in a daze.

The three of them each used their own unique skills and strategies, concentrating on capturing the demon spirit.

Yu Xiaobai certainly didn't have any special skills, but fortunately she was agile and as flexible as a fish in the water. She skillfully used her speed and techniques to quickly capture the monsters one by one.

Helan Ruofeng demonstrated great strength and accurate judgment. Every shot he made hit the target accurately and he reaped great rewards.

Jin Xuan relied on his wisdom and patience to carefully observe the movements of the demons and then capture them unexpectedly.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the three of them had caught enough demons. When they gathered together, you looked at me, I looked at you and we all gave each other a thumbs up.

While the monster hunting was in full swing here, Zhou Ze and his group found the cave where Yu Xiaobai and his group had stayed before. They were all stunned by the situation in the cave and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

"What kind of scene did this place go through to be like this?"

"If the Great Elder saw so many crystal stones, he would be so happy. It would be enough for him to refine so many spiritual tools..."

"Crystals, lots of crystals."

Bu Duo and several of his fellow apprentices excitedly rushed forward and frantically picked up the crystal stones on the ground. When they couldn't carry them all, they took out their Qiankun bags to fill them, shouting excitedly as they filled them.

Zhou Ze was so angry at these useless junior brothers that he stood there and rolled his eyes. They were a group of guys who didn't know their priorities.

Judging from the dilapidated state of the cave, it must have been the site of a brutal fight, and there was a strong smell of blood.

"What's that smell? Something stinky?" Bu Bu sniffed and finally saw the still-burning firewood on the grass and something roasting on a wooden stick.

"It smells so good, what is this?" Buduo's eyes widened, and several of his younger fellow apprentices also gathered around him excitedly.

That’s right, this is what was left over from the barbecue by Yu Xiaobai and his friends. They each took a portion with them, and those that couldn’t fit in were left here. Unexpectedly, they were seen by Zhou Ze and his group.

"Master said that there are alligators raised here. So, is this alligator meat?" The youngest disciple Zi Yu poked the piece of barbecue with his hand and sucked his fingers in his mouth.

"How does it taste?" She looked at him without much expectation.

"It's delicious." Zi Yu said and several fellow disciples rushed over.

"Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death by eating like this?" Zhou Ze yelled at his fellow apprentices in dissatisfaction.

"Poisonous? No!" Bu Bu handed a lump to Zhou Ze in a mean manner.

"Big Brother, it's delicious, and it has a salty taste. I've never eaten such delicious meat before. I haven't eaten meat in three years since I became a disciple." Junior brother Zi Yu chewed with relish while gesturing with his fingers, making smacking sounds in his mouth.

"Why don't you think about where the barbecue came from on the isolated island in this secret realm?" Zhou Ze asked angrily.

"Of course it was your majesty and his men. Otherwise, who would have the courage to touch Master's crocodile dragon?" Zi Yu explained foolishly.

"There must have been a fight here. The three of them are not here, and there is a roasted alligator here. This means that although they encountered danger, they have escaped. We must find them as soon as possible and take them out." Zhou Ze analyzed calmly.

He secretly felt lucky that everyone was safe. However, the most important thing now was to find them quickly and ensure their safety. After all, this secret place was full of unknowns and dangers, and they couldn't be allowed to continue to be in danger.

When they left the cave, Bu and a few of his fellow apprentices took away all the barbecue on the rack, eating it with relish as they walked. Only Zhou Ze looked disgusted.

After leaving the cave, they patrolled around the island several times, but still did not see Yu Xiaobai and the others.

"It seems like they are not on the island. Maybe they have already left. Let's look for them somewhere else." Zhou Ze decided to lead his fellow disciples to leave the island first and look for them in the outside areas.

The secret realm at the foot of Danxia Mountain is neither big nor small, at least dozens of kilometers in area. It includes swamp areas, Danxia landform areas, the Butterfly Valley where the most monsters gather, and some other unknown areas, such as the isolated island.

Zhou Ze knew that there were several dangerous places in this secret realm, but they were all restricted by the elders of Yunji Villa, and ordinary disciples could not enter at all.

Now that those people have entered the isolated island, it means that other places may not be able to stop them. So the only way now is to find them as soon as possible and take them out of the secret realm.

The sun rises and sets, and another day has passed. Today is the third day of the challenge. In other words, they must leave the secret realm today no matter what.

"I just estimated and counted them. I think I have caught more than thirty demon spirits." Yu Xiaobai stood in front of Jin Xuan and counted on his fingers excitedly to show off.

Jin Xuan also looked at him with contempt.

"Miss Zi Yan, please don't underestimate me. I just did a rough calculation and found that I have more than you."

Jin Xuan said this with certainty, and Yu Xiaobai looked at him doubtfully.

In the distance, Helan Ruofeng was holding the hilt of a sword, walking forward, and casually using the hilt of the sword to pull at the trees on both sides of the road.

At this moment, the three of them had come to a dense forest. The environment here seemed a bit strange and mysterious. The slender and strange bushes grew very densely, and there were blood-red vines entwined on them, which made people feel that this place was unfathomable at first glance.

"Brother Helan, wait for me!" Jin Xuan's anxious voice came from behind.

"Ruofeng, wait for me!" Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaobai also made the same call.

Listen to these different names. Jin Xuan affectionately calls Helan Ruofeng "Brother Helan", while Yu Xiaobai more intimately calls him "Ruofeng". It can be seen that after a day and a night together, the relationship between the three of them has further deepened and become more intimate.

Jin Xuan and Yu Xiaobai rushed to the front of Helan Ruofeng, and they did not forget to make faces at each other.

"There's something weird here, you two should be careful." Helan Ruofeng suddenly reminded.

"Danger?"

Yu Xiaobai and Jin Xuan looked at each other, and they were so scared that they dared not go any further.

"I said there was something strange and asked you to be careful. I didn't say there was danger and asked you not to move." Helan Ruofeng looked at these two funny guys with a helpless look.

"Ruofeng, your words are golden. If you say be careful, it means there must be danger. So I decided to just walk behind you." After saying this, Yu Xiaobai quickly retreated behind Helan Ruofeng, and shamelessly grabbed his sleeve with his hand, or to be more precise, a piece of rag on the sleeve.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a huge monster suddenly emerged from the vines. The monster was ferocious and terrifying, with long arms all over its body.

"Oh my god, I'm so scared!" Yu Xiaobai shrank directly behind Helan Ruofeng, and Jin Xuan also retreated to Yu Xiaobai's side in fear.

"Is it a demon?" Yu Xiaobai asked boldly.

"You've been catching spirits all day. Do you think it looks like a spirit?" Jin Xuan looked at Yu Xiaobai as if he was an idiot.

"I've already said it's a demon spirit, there must be all kinds of them. How do you know he's not one?" Yu Xiaobai replied unyieldingly.

"Can you two stop arguing for now?" Helan Ruofeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In front of them was a giant spider over ten feet tall, staring at the three of them without blinking, and they actually had time to argue.

"Ruofeng, is he a demon spirit?" Yu Xiaobai asked with a pale face and trembling lips.

"Brother Helan, this is a monster, right? The kind that eats people." Jin Xuan also said with a face as pale as paper and his body trembling.

"Brother Jin Xuan, you are right this time. This is a monster, the kind that eats people. Run away quickly..." Helan Ruofeng said helplessly, his voice trembling.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, pushed them both hard, and then dragged them back desperately.

Thinking of the battle with the red snake demon in the cave, he still had lingering fears. At that time, he was already seriously injured and could hardly move. Although he seemed to be fine after regulating his breathing, he was worried that if there was another such battle, he would really lose his life.

Suddenly, Helan Ruofeng felt his collar tighten, and something lifted him up high.

He obviously didn't want to fight, but he had no choice at the moment. He had no choice but to summon Sermon. However, as soon as his hand touched the hilt of the sword, a powerful force wrapped around his body, making him unable to move at all.

"Eh? Brother Helan?" Jin Xuan turned around and saw a white thing coming towards him, instantly wrapping him up completely.

Yu Xiaobai was attacked the moment he turned around.

"Help! Wuuuu! Help me, I can't breathe!"

She tried to scream, but no words came out.

Yu Xiaobai and Jin Xuan were both wrapped tightly from head to toe by the spider's silk. Only Helan Ruofeng was tightly entangled in the upper body. His legs could still move, but they were still outside.

"Brother Jin Xuan, Miss Zi Yan, how are you? Are you okay?" Helan Ruofeng called out anxiously.

"Little brother, you are quite loyal. Don't worry, I will eat you after I have eaten your Mr. Jin and Miss Zi Yan. Then the three of you can go to hell together and continue your deep friendship."

A triumphant voice came from the spider spirit, and in an instant the huge spider transformed into a beautiful young woman in black clothes with a graceful figure.

"Monster, quickly release Brother Jin Xuan and Miss Zi Yan, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." Helan Ruofeng threatened in a serious tone.
