I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 493 Negotiation

The surging vitality poured into Zhang Chen's body. Looking at the withered branch of the Evergreen Tree in his hand, Zhang Chen felt a sense of clarity rising in his heart: "My lifespan has been extended to five years!"

It has to be said that the Evergreen Tree is indeed a supreme material for extending lifespan. A short section of the trunk actually extended Zhang Chen's life by five years.

"I think you should let this section of the trunk grow into a big tree to maximize your benefits. Then, there will be a continuous supply of life, and immortality will not be far away," said the Great自在Heavenly Demon.

Zhang Chen did not agree with the Great自在Heavenly Demon's words: "Just a section of the trunk, how many years do I have to wait for it to grow? I don't have that much time to wait. It's better to extend my lifespan first, and then find the Evergreen Tree Coffin and let it take root and sprout. The Evergreen Tree Coffin is large, and if it takes root and sprouts, with its huge size, there will definitely be many branches, which may be enough to supply my immortality."

Zhang Chen only has one year of life left. How can he wait?

With these five years, as long as he concentrates on accumulating skill points, he will always be able to acquire the magical power of absorbing the vitality of plants and trees to extend his lifespan.

Then, Zhang Chen's eyes turned to the Judgment. He would not rashly move this artifact for the time being. After the old eunuch wakes up, he will find a way to touch it, lest he be accidentally killed by the twelfth-order mystery when he touches the Judgment at this time.

Zhang Chen threw the withered tree trunk on the ground, and then, with a flick of his finger, all the clothes dried instantly. Only then did he dress the old eunuch, pick up the Judgment again, and walk all the way towards his hiding place.

The old eunuch's injuries were too serious, and his origin was too depleted. Even if Zhang Chen fed him a golden pill, he could not expect him to wake up in a short time. After the other party took the golden pill, not only did he not wake up, but he entered a deeper level of repair and slumber. This was a self-repair from biological instinct, unless he encountered a crisis, he would not wake up easily.

Zhang Chen walked in the mud in the mountains. His newly cleaned shoes were now stained with a layer of mud again.

However, Zhang Chen didn't care. He had the authority of the earth, and at this time, when his feet stepped into the silt, he had a deeper understanding of the earth.

Because Zhang Chen was carrying a person, he could not use his magical powers, so he could only walk slowly in the mountains. After walking for a short half day, suddenly a cry came from afar, as well as the miserable cries of countless people.

Hearing the cries, Zhang Chen quickly took a few steps, and then saw a scene that made his eyes split.

On a high mountain in the distance, countless people gathered on the top of the mountain to escape the flood, and luckily escaped the disaster. Now, some powerful demons were sorting out the water veins and receding the flood, and those demons took the opportunity to cross the White Bone Great Wall and came to the human land to wreak havoc. Thousands of demons surrounded the people on the mountain, their mouths stained with blood, devouring the people in the mountain.

The bright red blood flowed down along the wet soil, touching Zhang Chen's heart. A rolling human head slid down and hit Zhang Chen's thigh, and then bounced into the mud not far away.

The face of the head in the mud was no longer clear, and it was covered with mud, but according to the size of the head, it should be the head of an infant.

At this time, screams rang out in the mountains, and the roar of the demons spread among the mountains, making Zhang Chen's eyes split and his eyes full of murderous intent: "These beasts of the demon race deserve to die!"

Unfortunately, although he had magical powers, he could not save the tens of thousands of people on this mountain.

This was the Northern Land. Even if he killed all the demons on this mountain, what about the people in the mountain? Now there were demons everywhere in the mountain. Even if he killed this group of demons, these people would still encounter the next group of demons. The demons were endless and continuous, and could not be killed!

"But I can't do nothing." Zhang Chen stood under a big tree, watching the slaughter in the mountains, countless people were like lambs, being slaughtered and devoured by demons, his heart was extremely sad and angry.

Zhang Chen manipulated the soil to form a hard platform, and placed the old eunuch Dugu Qiu on the platform. The next moment, he stepped towards the mountain, and at the same time, the Beast Controlling Technique broke out. The demons in the mountain were only low-level demons, and faced with Zhang Chen's fifth-level Beast Controlling Technique, they had no resistance at all, and directly aimed their claws at their companions.

Could it be that because this group of people would be slaughtered by demons in the future, he should do nothing at this time?

Along with the outbreak of the Beast Controlling Technique, the beasts in the mountains continued to kill each other, and the human race on the top of the mountain took advantage of the chaos to run down the mountain and disappeared into the mountains.

Before long, the movement in the mountains stopped. With the death of the last demon, the entire mountain range was silent.

Zhang Chen looked at the corpses all over the ground, and the figures running into the mountains, his eyes were full of unbearable. He knew that even if those people ran down the mountain, they would definitely not survive.

"I always have to do something for the people of the Northern Land. It would be good to save one more person." Zhang Chen looked at the corpses that were gnawed to pieces on the ground, his eyes were full of compassion: "I am, after all, a person, and a compassionate cultivator. How can I stand by and watch when I have cultivated a body of magical powers?"

As Zhang Chen's words fell, the world in front of him turned into black and white. Zhang Chen's soul jumped into the soul-hooking space in the dark, sensed Bai Cang's soul coordinates, and then grabbed the chain belonging to Bai Cang, and with a sudden drag, Bai Cang's soul was pulled out of the void.

"How is it possible! I have already completed reincarnation. How can you hook my soul? What means is this?"

When Bai Cang's soul was hooked to Zhang Chen's face, his eyes were full of bewilderment. He had already completed reincarnation. How could his soul be hooked?

But no matter what means Zhang Chen used, Bai Cang turned around and ran without saying a word. At this moment, running was the right thing to do.

However, as Zhang Chen pulled the chain in his hand, Bai Cang returned again and fell in front of Zhang Chen, and then heard Zhang Chen say faintly: "If I were you, I would first figure out the situation in front of me, instead of rushing to run away. Since I can hook your soul once, then I can hook it a second time."

Bai Cang was dragged to Zhang Chen again, staring at the young man in front of him with his eyes. He didn't run this time, because he knew that running was useless, he had already been caught by this kid's means.

"What means is this?" Bai Cang stared at Zhang Chen opposite with a gloomy expression, his voice full of suppressed anger.

"We have dealt with each other several times. You should know something about me. Why ask such meaningless questions? If I were you, I should ask what I want to do, and then stabilize me first, and then find a way to crack this means after going back and get rid of my shackles," Zhang Chen said to Bai Cang.

"You hooked my soul, what can you say?" Bai Cang was indeed a clever fox, worthy of being the demon clan's military advisor. It was not necessary to bother talking to him.

Zhang Chen pointed to the corpses all over the mountains below and said to Bai Cang: "Guess what I want to do by hooking your soul."

Bai Cang turned his head and looked at the countless incomplete corpses in the mountains, his expression becoming more and more deep: "You don't want me to restrain the demon race and stop the slaughter, do you?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Chen asked back.

"You are simply whimsical. If you make such a request, it is better to kill me! There are thousands of races in the demon race. Why do everyone fight to the death across the White Bone Great Wall? Isn't it for the human race's flesh and blood. If I open my mouth to stop everyone from devouring the human race's flesh and blood, then I will be standing on the opposite side of the entire demon race." Bai Cang's expression was extremely ugly:

"Everyone started an army and crossed the White Bone Great Wall, risking their heads, just for the human race's flesh and blood. It's like your human race's soldiers, fighting is for women, for promotion and wealth. Whoever dares to stop the soldiers from being promoted and getting rich will put themselves in a desperate situation and cut themselves off from the demon race." Bai Cang stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes: "You want me to do this, it is better to kill me with a stick. I can't do this."

Zhang Chen grabbed his palm, and the God-Beating Whip was taken into his hand. As soon as it was activated, a fatal crisis erupted. Especially Bai Cang was in the state of Yin God at this time, and his perception of the horror of the God-Beating Whip was even more profound. As soon as the God-Beating Whip appeared, it made his Yin God tremble, as if a fatal crisis was rising in his heart, constantly urging him to run away quickly.

It's just that Bai Cang knew clearly in his heart that he couldn't escape no matter what, so he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and said to Zhang Chen: "Even if you kill me, I can't do it! I can't do this!"

While Bai Cang was talking, he cautiously observed the expression on Zhang Chen's face. Seeing that Zhang Chen's expression was gloomy and murderous intent had begun to overflow, he quickly said again: "But thinking of a compromise is still no problem."

"Huh? A compromise?" Zhang Chen stared at Bai Cang.

"Selecting a part of the human race to protect, so that the human race in the Northern Land will not be wiped out, can still be done," Bai Cang said.

"That's it? Isn't that equivalent to raising livestock? What kind of bad idea is this?" Zhang Chen scolded.

Although Bai Cang was in the state of Yin God, his forehead was sweating at this time: "I can find an excuse to keep the children of the human race in their infancy."

"That's all I can do. If you want to save all the human race in the Northern Land, I can't do it. You might as well kill me with a whip. The demon race plans to slaughter hundreds of millions of people in the Northern Land after entering the customs, leaving only 100,000 for Chen Sanliang to prove the Tao. The rest will be turned into blood food. This is all I can do. You should know how difficult it is for me to do this!" Bai Cang saw that Zhang Chen was still not satisfied and said with his neck stuck out.

Zhang Chen was silent after hearing the words, looking at Bai Cang with his eyes, and after a long time, he heard Zhang Chen sigh faintly: "Forget it, as you said, the children of the Northern Land must be preserved."

This is also a very helpless thing!

How could he not know that it was unrealistic to keep all the human race in the hands of this group of beasts. It was already a great fortune to save the spark and leave behind a living force.

ps: Happy New Year's Day to all my brothers. I wish you all the best in the new year, all the best, and make a fortune!
