It was indeed an earth-escaping supernatural ability!
Mo Fan’s heart surged with joy. Though this ability wasn’t offensive, its value far surpassed attack-based abilities, belonging to the life-preserving category of demon techniques.
However, the earth-escaping ability had its limitations.
The rat demon’s attempt to use it had failed because Mo Fan had frozen the entire area with his frost ability, hardening the soil and countering the escape technique perfectly.
This was a method Mo Fan had devised while chasing the rat demon.
With its earth-escaping ability, capturing it would be nearly impossible without restricting its power, let alone devouring it.
After experiencing the wonders of the earth-escaping ability, Mo Fan opened his mouth and spat out two items.
They were a pair of white jade spiked clubs and a golden rope.
The spiked clubs were demon weapons forged from the rat demon’s front teeth, remarkably powerful and incredibly durable, surpassing ordinary refined iron artefacts due to their demon general tooth origin.
Having been refined into demon weapons, the clubs retained their form even after the rat demon’s death, not reverting to teeth.
As for the golden rope, it was also a demon weapon, tough and elastic. Mo Fan strongly suspected it was made from some demon’s sinew. When infused with demonic power, the rope, originally a few metres long, could extend to ten metres, making it an excellent tool for binding enemies.
After examining the two demon weapons, Mo Fan stored them away. With a wave of his hand, he sent a surge of demonic aura into the cave.
Since the cave was the rat demon’s hideout, there might be treasures hidden within.
Unfortunately, after probing, Mo Fan found nothing of value, only discovering a few female demons who had taken human form.
These female demons were all naked. Without asking, Mo Fan knew they were the rat demon’s consorts.
He didn’t hesitate. Using his power, he dragged them out of the cave and devoured them all without leaving a single one.
In Mo Fan’s view, since these female demons were the rat demon’s consorts, they couldn’t be spared. Otherwise, they might cause trouble later, especially given the rat demon’s significant background.
Mo Fan suspected the so-called Bottomless Cave was the place marked with a rat head on his map.
There were nine such beast-head markers in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he had heard there were nine demon clan saint kings in the region. The coincidence was too striking.
This led him to believe the nine marked locations were the territories of the nine demon clan saint kings.
This made the Bottomless Cave’s background even more astonishing.
Because of these connections, the female demons had to die.
After devouring them, Mo Fan didn’t linger. He rode a cloud of demonic mist and left the area.
Soon, he returned to He Feifei and the other demons.
“Laibao, you’re back so soon?”
“Didn’t you find the rat demon?”
He Feifei asked curiously.
At her words, the other demons turned to look at Mo Fan.
“I found it, but the rat demon was too cunning and escaped!”
Mo Fan smiled and waved his hand, saying, “No matter. After this battle, that rat demon won’t dare cause trouble again. Let’s leave this place!”
Hearing the rat demon had escaped, Three-Inch Ding on Mo Fan’s shoulder widened its eyes but wisely kept silent.
Though it didn’t understand why its master said this, since he did, it wouldn’t speak recklessly to avoid trouble.
Mo Fan was quite satisfied with Three-Inch Ding’s discretion.
He concealed the rat demon’s fate to avoid future complications.
After all, it was a traitor from the Bottomless Cave. Who knew what trouble might arise later? If it did, it would have nothing to do with Mo Fan, since the rat demon had “escaped.”
“You’re right. It’s just a rat demon. If it escaped, so be it!”
He Feifei nodded, not dwelling on it, then frowned and said, “We didn’t find the king or the others in the Demon Spirit Valley. I don’t know where theCHFthe king and the two generals went. Where should we go now?”
In her memory, Black Wind Mountain had been overtaken by human cultivators, making it unsafe to return.
They had come here hoping to find the king and a strong backer, but with no success, she was at a loss for what to do next.
“Where else can we go?”
“We’re demons of Black Wind Mountain. Naturally, we return to Black Wind Mountain!”
Mo Fan’s lips curved slightly. He understood the current situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The two human-controlled mountains in the southern border had been destroyed by the White Tiger Saint King, and the cultivators on Black Wind Mountain had been wiped out, leaving it unclaimed.
Since he couldn’t become a general of Black Wind Mountain after breaking through to demon general, he’d go straight to the top and become the mountain’s king!
“Return to Black Wind Mountain?”
He Feifei was stunned, seeing Mo Fan wasn’t joking. She exclaimed, “Are you mad? Black Wind Mountain is occupied by human cultivators. Going back now is suicide!
Have you forgotten how General Mountain Phoenix died?”
Seeing He Feifei so agitated, Mo Fan gave a wry smile and said, “I’m not mad. While you were unconscious, a lot happened in the Hundred Thousand Mountains…”
To ease her mind, Mo Fan briefly recounted the events during her unconsciousness.
When she heard that Black Wind Mountain had been massacred by human cultivators and that Demon King Zhu Xianfeng, General্র
General Gold, and the two other generals had fallen, He Feifei was left in a daze.
Mo Fan nodded confidently. “Of course it’s true. Let’s head back to Black Wind Mountain and find out!”
