AWB Chapter 56 Trials
Chapter 56 Trials
A hint of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the little iron-eating beast. The humans in front of it were very different from those in its inherited memories. Ordinary people would shout for the demon race to be attacked and killed, but the three in front of it did not.
The Iron-Eating Beast whimpered and told the three about its origins, and Cheng Jiu ate another demon melon from the demon realm.
The Iron-Eating Beast Clan and the Tiger Clan have always been at odds, but this year's Iron-Eating Beast Princess and the Tiger Clan's young master have fallen in love.
This was utterly contrary to the will of heaven and earth between the two clans. The eldest princess wanted to elope with the young master, but the young master of the tiger clan had finally ascended to the position of young master. How could he possibly give it up for his lover and instead marry the eldest princess of the peacock clan?
Princess Iron Eater and Princess Peacock were already at odds, so when they found out, they were furious.
The other party was incredibly fierce; he stormed into the couple's wedding banquet and, amidst the Iron-Eating Beast Clan Chief's dark expression, loudly accused the Tiger Clan's young master of deceiving her feelings, and then proceeded to beat him up.
The peacock princess was also very angry. After all, she had many suitors, and it was only because the tiger clan's young master pursued her sincerely that she agreed to the marriage.
Unexpectedly, she, who often went fishing, ended up being caught by a fish.
As a result, a phenomenal scene unfolded at the wedding banquet: the bride and the groom's ex-lover beat up the groom together.
The two princesses had many suitors, and the demon who was interested in the two demons was also angry. In order to show off in front of his beloved demon, he kept blocking the tiger demon who wanted to go on stage to rescue his young master.
In the end, things escalated into a real brawl, with the entire wedding banquet turning into a massive brawl. The Tiger Clan Chief was directly beaten by the Iron-Eating Beast Clan Chief and the Peacock Clan Chief, all because he hadn't properly raised his son.
And so the wedding banquet ended, and the marriage alliance between the Tiger Clan and the Peacock Clan also came to an end.
Later, I heard that the peacock princess turned around and married the young master of the fox clan.
Meanwhile, the eldest princess of the Iron-Eating Beast also discovered that she was pregnant. She did not tell any demons and originally intended to abort the pregnancy, but she could not abort it no matter what she did. After giving birth to her cub, she used a teleportation array to send the cub to the cultivation world.
After all, its actions caused the Iron-Eating Beast clan to lose a great demon. As for killing the cub she had painstakingly given birth to, she couldn't bring herself to do it. So she sent it to the cultivation world so that it could become a carefree spirit beast in the future.
As the story ends, the little iron-eating beast's eyes are filled with tears. It was abandoned by its own mother, but luckily it met a black bear who had just given birth. The black bear was a bear demon, so it was raised by the black bear.
After listening, Yingyue sighed, "It's over, that princess will definitely be beaten to death by her father."
"Eek?" The little cub tilted its head, looking at Yingyue with some confusion.
“The cubs of the demon race are extremely precious, and I’ve heard that this generation of iron-eating beasts hasn’t had a cub in over ten years.”
"In other words, you are their only cub in the past ten years or so. It's already difficult for iron-eating beasts to give birth, and yet your mother actually abandoned her own cub. The clan leader must be furious." Cheng Jiu explained to the adorable little iron-eating beast.
"As for your father, that's no big deal at all. You're not a little tiger, you're a little iron-eating beast! Besides, who among demons doesn't have a few male demons? Isn't that all for reproduction?" Wen Sishu was very open-minded, and his words weren't exactly elegant. Sure enough, the next second, "Bang!"
"Ouch!" Wen Sishu clutched her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"That's enough. Show some scholarly restraint. Don't say these things in front of the cub, lest you offend its ears." Yingyue withdrew her hand.
Knowing that it wouldn't be rejected by its own kind, the little iron-eating beast became cheerful. Compared to its parents, the demon valued its own kind more.
After all, although the demon race has integrated with the human race, their lifestyle is still more like that of the primitive era. Adult demons go out to hunt, while the cubs are usually raised by the clan.
Hearing its cub's joyful voice, the black bear licked its lip. The little iron-eating beast looked at its mother with deep reluctance. It had taken care of it for so many years. The demon was not a heartless creature. Over the years, it had long regarded the black bear as its own mother.
It whimpered to the black bear, indicating that it and its two younger brothers could go to the demon realm with him.
The black bear shook its head at it. It had lived here for countless years and had long since become attached to this place.
The iron-eating beast lay there and whimpered twice, indicating that it wasn't going to leave if the black bear didn't, but the black bear grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and placed it in Yingyue's arms.
It picked up the three of them and headed deeper into the forest, finally stopping beside a huge volcano. There was a hole in the middle of the volcano, clearly intended to give the three of them a chance.
It put down the small iron beast, coiled up in front of the cave, and pushed it three times.
"This seems to be the cave of that demonic serpent." The three followed its momentum into the cave, and a foul stench hit them.
This is the life's worth of a demon beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage; there must be some good stuff here.
The cave is located on a volcano. The further you go in, the hotter it gets. Ahead are black iron rocks, a commonly used material for refining weapons. They are not only sturdy but also have a trace of fire attribute.
Further inside, there were crystals formed from fire elemental energy, but they weren't pure. The deeper they went, the purer the crystals became. The three of them could even see fire elemental stones, but they were all low-grade. After walking through a dark and narrow passage for an unknown amount of time, small red flowers gradually began to grow around them. These were extremely tenacious spiritual plants that could bloom even next to lava, but they were not precious.
Gradually, the three saw a red light, and a huge room appeared in front of them. In the center was a nest made of various weeds, which should be the place where the demon snake usually slept. There was nothing precious there. The most precious thing was the snake skin that remained on it. Unexpectedly, the demon snake had the habit of collecting its own snake skin.
Although the species of the demonic serpent is unknown, fire-attribute demonic serpents, the stronger and older they are, the better their molted skin becomes, which can be used to create armor.
Beside the nest was a large expanse of lava. Bubbling and gurgling, the most precious thing was the skeleton floating on it, a reddish-jade crystal, seemingly tempered by lava for many years, a rare and precious jade skeleton.
It was clearly a demonic serpent. After it finished eating, it would throw all the bones it excreted into the magma, which eventually formed this rare material for refining weapons.
However, since the serpent basically swallows its food whole, where do these bones come from?
The three silently looked away. Ah, there might be other treasures in the cave anyway, so let's leave this one for the next generation!
After all, this is the place where a demonic serpent in the Tribulation Transcending stage lives. Putting aside everything else, the fire spiritual energy here is quite abundant. Wen Sishu and Yingyue had already begun preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, so this place was just right for Wen Sishu.
Apart from the snake molts, the cave was quite clean. The three of them only found some fire-attribute snake saliva flowers and nothing else.
All three were somewhat unwilling to accept that such a powerful Transcending Tribulation stage demon beast had only this much wealth. Their gazes slowly fell on the bed where it had built its nest. They cleared away the weeds to reveal a flat surface, where there were some storage rings, but they were all half-damaged and completely unusable.
Cheng Jiu carefully felt around in a groove on the top of the nest and found a piece of crystal: "Is this a secret realm crystal?"
"Yeah, could it be that the secret realm we were looking for was entered by this demonic serpent beforehand, and it took the core, which is why we didn't find it?" Yingyue and Wensishu came over and examined it carefully, confirming their suspicions.
"Then let's go in and explore once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Wen Sishu said.
"What's that?" Cheng Jiu caught a glimpse of a green light out of the corner of his eye and quickly lunged towards it.
Yingyue and Wensishu quickly followed.
They missed, and Yingyue and Wensishu initially thought she was mistaken, but then they saw a green light moving at an extremely fast speed on the ground.
They all rushed over, but the light was too fast. There was no way to stop it. Wen Sishu threw out his alchemy furnace, which slammed hard on the ground and hit the green line in front of it with a "bang," directly blasting out a small green figure.
The little figure is entirely white, with a small bun on top of its head, from which hangs a red fruit.
Cheng Jiu examined it carefully; it looked somewhat similar, quite similar. She clapped her hands: "Ginseng Doll!"
"How did you recognize me?" The little boy, who was a bit confused, got angry when he heard Cheng Jiu's words.
