Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3980 Divine Bear

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

Upon hearing Imiwu's teasing, Xiaosu bit her lip and produced a brilliant fire-attribute holy spirit rune in her hand. Light flowed between her fingers, surging with intense heat and flames.

The Holy Spirit Runes are something that most magicians in the Demon Realm can only dream of, and even the old professors in Taracuta can only maintain the Holy Spirit state for a few seconds. Xiao Su, on the other hand, can enter it at will and can remain in that mysterious and profound state indefinitely. She can create runes containing elemental mysteries with just one hand.

However, in the realm of "Holy Spirit State" alone, Xiao Su is still somewhat inferior to her monstrous teacher, namely the Eternal Holy Spirit, the Returner, the veteran street hustler, Rizz.

Rizz was able to maintain an eternal holy spirit state at the legendary level and had gained insight into some of the secrets of the elemental realm. When the news spread, the senior professors of Taracuta were all stunned and felt deeply ashamed. Even Hilder was amazed by her talent and cast a scrutinizing glance at her, believing that she also had the potential to become the Blade of Trials and might be able to rival the Apostles in the future.

Then, having mastered the essence of how the former leader of Taracuta, Alice, fled, and having gained the strength to protect herself, Rizz began to wander around, exploring every corner of the Demon Realm, and finally disappeared from the Demon Realm altogether.

The last time Xiao Su saw her master, Ruiz, was a long time ago, when they met by chance in a starry sky and strolled together with the Spectral Enchanter, Niwu.

"Just kidding." Imiwu laughed and waved her hand, pulling a lollipop from her pocket, unwrapping it, and stuffing it into her mouth, mumbling:
"Xiao Su, you have outstanding skills in magical barriers, you are the best. I need you to help me set up a large magic circle. I will give you my ideas when the time comes."

"As for the reward, you and Yuxia can go to the basement of my dark mansion and pick out a brick you like, or maybe some other strange things. Just pick whatever you like."

The basement of the Dark Mansion contains a large number of valuable items, which are the rewards given by the people of the Demon Realm when they sought help from the successive goddesses of the Underworld. For example, there is a broom that looks ordinary and has dim magic, but it is actually an "invisible magic chain" that can temporarily lock the realm of those who have transcended. It has always been used by Crazy Bear as a broom, and only for cleaning the basement, because the floor of the Dark Mansion needs to be cleaned with a more delicate and gentle broom made from threshed sorghum ears.

Xiao Su accepted the conditions offered by Yimi Wu without any polite refusal. As for You Xia, she didn't care and it didn't matter if she didn't get paid.

Long ago, dissatisfied with the cruel and cold-hearted ways of the Moon Sumira, she secretly broke away from the second agreement and wandered aimlessly in the Demon Realm. Later, due to the side effects of using the forbidden Ring of Domination, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, bleeding from all seven orifices and fainting on the roadside. She was taken in by the Dark House of the Witch Imi, who saved her life, and she lived in the Dark House for quite a long time.

She had seen almost everything in the basement of the dark mansion. Of course, at that time, her understanding was still limited, her vision was narrow, and her knowledge was limited, so she was unable to see the truth and may have missed some good things.

Sitting on the shoulders of the Mad Bear, Imiwu pointed ahead and said:

"Our Boronx is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. The south is full of ferocious and bloodthirsty demons. The snake-belly sword that the cool Cyrus uses comes from the southern region."

"In the north, where the Apostle Dirige once lived, a deadly plague was constantly spreading. Within a hundred miles, not a blade of grass grew, and the sky was gloomy and desolate. The filth permeated the earth. Even though it has been gone for many years, few people dare to live there."

Later, Archangel Yuena went to the Boronx region to purify it. A bright sun rose and shone in all directions, clearing away the filth from most of the area and making it habitable. However, because of the deep and far-reaching influence of Dirige's infamous reputation, the area is still deserted.

Xiao Su finished speaking in a calm tone, completing what Yimi Wu hadn't said:
"In the center of Boronx, there is a deep forest of dolls, inhabited by capricious little witches. They can lift all curses, transfer pain, and turn people they don't like into dolls or trees, creating a kind of living dead state."

Bolonx is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the "outstanding people" here refers to the little witch.

Since the lineage of the Moon Goddess now only has one person, Imiwu, in a sense, this outstanding person is Imiwu.

"Hehe~" The little witch put her fist next to her head and blinked cutely.

Xiao Su lowered the broom's flight height and landed on the other shoulder of the crazy bear. After settling into a stable position, she asked:
“Imiwu, I’ve always had a question: you’re the only one left in the lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld. If, and I mean if, you were gone too, would the lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld be severed?”

Her World Tree Staff wasn't padded with any soft material, so even when sitting sideways, her buttocks would hurt after a while.

After thinking for a while, Yimi Wu said, "No, it will."

She told us that there were other creations similar to the Mad Bear in the Dark Mansion, but they were not as versatile and intelligent as the Mad Bear. They were more like puppets with wisdom. If the lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld Moon disappeared, those puppets would automatically look for children who were suitable to become "little witches," bring them to the Dark Mansion, teach them relevant knowledge, and then hopefully restart the spark of this lineage.

If even this step fails, then the lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld is practically extinct.

The reason she said no is because the Dark Mansion is surrounded by the Puppet Forest, which requires her to inspect and maintain it regularly. If she is not there, the magic of the Puppet Forest will gradually lose its power, and the secrets of the Dark Mansion will be exposed to the eyes of the gods from all sides.

At that time, naturally some people would risk breaking into the dark mansion, taking away the collections inside and the secret techniques of the Underworld Goddess lineage, which would then be learned and used by those who were interested.

The lineage of the Moon Goddess will be reborn in another way, but it will be more loosely organized. Advanced secret techniques may be collected or lost, and it will not become a lineage of professions like it is now.

Yu Xia said, "Then when will you consider raising a little witch?"

Unexpectedly, Yimi immediately shook her head and complained angrily, "Who wants to have a child with him? Besides, if someone with my youthful appearance were to have a little witch, that sugarcane would be doomed."

Then, Youxia and Xiaosu gave her speechless and disgusted looks, deliberately glancing at her out of the corner of their eyes. I'm asking when you're going to take on new disciples, not when you're going to have a little witch.

The lineage of the Moon Goddess has a small peculiar characteristic: they like to select successors and place great importance on fate. They rarely go to big cities or crowded places to select talented young women.

Weren't you supposed to have a love-hate relationship with Yuena? How did you end up hanging out with the shrine maiden Xiaoyu?

"Whatever happens, happens." The little witch's face flushed slightly as she slowly uttered the two words.

Mad Bear was almost out of southern Boronx. Its size was imposing in appearance, and it quickly avoided the occasional furtive glances from furtive creatures along the way, then quietly left.

The Demon Realm has eight regions. Currently, only the Earth Rail Center, Central Park, Brooklyn, and Harlem have relatively stable order and a good living environment. The other four regions are still somewhat chaotic. However, due to the harmony in the four regions, the agreement among the top powers not to wage war, and the destruction of the evil organization Kashu, the overall environment of the Demon Realm is much better than before.

In the distance, the outline of a village can be seen, surrounded by a wall. There are mountains nearby, but they are not high, only about a hundred meters high. Outside the village, farmland is scattered in an orderly manner, covered with a layer of light green seedlings. A man-made reservoir stores precious water.

"It's beautiful, it would be even more perfect with a bit of sunset." Xiao Su's lips curled up slightly, but as soon as she finished speaking, something unexpected happened.

An irregular tremor came from the ground, the trees next to them shook violently, and the stones on the road bounced slightly. Then they saw a wave of earth tens of meters high suddenly rise outside the village, and something terrifying suddenly burst out of the ground.

They were three enormous serpentine creatures, their bodies a deep, almost blackish-red, crimson. They were tens of meters long, covered in blade-like scales that gleamed with a sharp light. One could imagine that the places they crawled through would be shattered. Their heads were terrifying triangular, with dizzying patterns. When they stood up, they exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, like serpentine demons, monsters that had emerged from the dimension of hell.

Three serpentine monsters circled the village from different directions, their bodies arched, necks flattened, and forked tongues flicking from their mouths, as if about to hunt.

The villagers quickly sounded the alarm and closed the gates of the wall. A few people with cultivation levels climbed the wall to defend themselves, but they were so frightened by the three serpentine monsters that their legs went weak, their bodies trembled, and their faces turned pale. They could hardly muster any fighting spirit.

In despair, some villagers cried out in trembling voices, "Puno! It's the snake-like demon Puno! Why are they here?"

The entire demon realm knows about Puno, a powerful being from the southern part of Bolonx. This creature is cunning and cruel, and more importantly, it possesses considerable intelligence. It is a terrifying existence in the demon realm, and ordinary powerful beings are unwilling to provoke these guys.

Fortunately, the demon Puno is territorial and generally does not leave its territory. As long as you do not provoke or pass through its territory, Puno will not attack people outside its territory.

Puno also knew that the Demon Realm was dangerous in every direction, and that every region had very powerful characters. In the Boronx region alone, there were beings no less powerful than them.

Of course, if they happen to pass by Puno's territory, they will not give up the opportunity to hunt.

Such a situation, with three Puno acting together, is extremely rare in the entire Demon Realm.

Three serpentine monsters, Puno, surrounded the village, their blood-red bodies raised, their blade-like scales slowly rising and gleaming with a sharp light, clearly indicating that they were already in an attack stance.

Their forked tongues vibrated at a certain frequency, as if they were exchanging some kind of signal with each other.

boom!
The next instant, the three Puno moved simultaneously. Their massive bodies, like earth dragons, ripped deep cracks into the ground as they crawled rapidly, kicking up huge amounts of dust. Three blood-red lights swam in the dust, their forms ghostly. The village walls and simple magical defenses shattered in an instant, and the watchtower at the entrance was smashed into pieces as the blades sliced ​​through it, collapsing directly.

The village wasn't small, with about a thousand people, but the most powerful person there was only a half-step Awakener, stuck around the threshold. He was more than capable of dealing with ordinary bandits and outlaws, but he was no match for Puno.

In the distance, Imiwu flew into the air, observing the scene ahead, and muttered, "Puno rarely goes out to cause trouble, especially not three of them together. Is there something wrong with that?"

"Crazy Bear!"

First, we need to stop the demon Puno from going berserk. Otherwise, if these three Punos cause chaos in the village, the entire village will be razed to the ground and everyone will die in just two minutes.

Upon receiving the command, Mad Bear nodded, magical light enveloping its body. Its body, already over ten meters tall, expanded once more, until it reached a height of a hundred meters, comparable to the giants of Greenblad. Then it began to run, striding towards the village.

Moreover, with the blessing of magical power, the Mad Bear made almost no sound and caused no earthquakes when it ran, as if it were a bear filled with air.

The Mad Bear ran outside the village, its powerful aura startling the demon Puno. All three turned around, their eyes flashing with ferocity, uttering wary sounds, and their blade-like scales all stood on end.

However, Mad Bear stretched out its huge paw and grabbed one of the demons' bodies. Its hand, which looked like it was made of cloth, now showed a tortoise shell-like substance, and it was unharmed even when it gripped the blade.

The other Puno slightly bent its body, then suddenly sprang out with the speed of a blood-red lightning bolt. It wrapped its blade-covered body around the Mad Bear's head, its scales gleaming coldly, and its serpentine body began to tighten and coil.

Crack~!

The scales of the serpentine monster Puno rubbed violently against the head of the mad bear, producing a series of tiny red sparks.

However, despite Crazy Bear's usual routine of sweeping the floor, wiping windows, taking out the trash, and even washing clothes while wearing leather gloves, like a diligent servant bear, this bear is actually very powerful. He has been to heaven, the underworld, and the land of wisdom, and by chance, he has also received some powerful inheritances.

Crazy Bear completely ignored the Puno wrapped around its neck, reached out its other hand and grabbed the last Puno's tail. No matter how much the Puno struggled, it was to no avail. Then it backed away from the village.

At this moment, in the eyes of the villagers who were almost scared out of their wits, the Mad Bear who easily captured the three snake-like monsters Puno was simply a god walking among mortals, with an incomparably majestic figure.

Crazy Bear trampled the two Puno under its feet, then grabbed the one by the neck and yanked it off. Then, with its huge and hard paws, it ran its paws straight from head to tail, forcing all the scales to adhere to its body, making the Puno taut and straight.

If it wanted to, it could simply turn it upside down and scrape off all of Puno's scales like scraping fish scales.

The three shamans approached and asked, "Why did you attack the village?"

The three Puno were still struggling, one of them even tried to bite the crazy bear, sending sparks flying from its mouth.
