Origin Paradise!

"This level of nourishment should be silver-level life form, which is out of sync with my current strength," Jiang He judged. It was rumored that Long Cheng had escaped with ease right under the nose of the Demonic Sect Leader, but he probably hadn't reached the point where he could completely turn the tables. Otherwise, given Long Cheng's personality, he probably wouldn't mind starting a life-or-death battle to hone himself.

The enhancement is complete.

Jiang He used animal companions to call Lao Hei and Wu He over.

After completing the main quest, the Executor's exclusive shop will be closed. Through the last merit exchange, the number of Cube Dolls will reach 10,000. The biggest advantage of this consumable tool is that it saves food. Normally, it can maintain its operation by relying on solar and wind power.

Soon, the two animal companions arrived at the city lord's mansion.

Wuhe stood on Lao Hei's shoulder, gently pecking at its feathers.

Jiang He glanced at him. Wu He had an unusually clear sense of hierarchy. He usually looked down on Zhuang Ya, who was the youngest.

"There's a player in the inventory, and they're still warm."

In the blink of an eye, a severed-armed human body was thrown out and subjected to a long period of confinement. This player's eyes were vacant, and he had no mental state whatsoever. When he first attacked the princess's caravan, he used the Wind and Cloud Palm technique, and he had some connection with Wind and Cloud Mountain.

"It's worse than death."

Old Black stepped forward and severed the opponent's neck with a single claw.

[Player 93**3 has been killed by a creature from the source area. Player transfer process initiated. New user name: Jiang Danglu. True Spirit authentication process passed.]

Jiang He used the permissions granted by Lao Hei to briefly browse the other party's panel.

Previously, after eating the unknown fruit at the entrance of Yuwang Valley, Lao Hei awakened intelligence no different from ordinary people, transforming from a wolfhound into a mutant. After living and eating with the wolf pack for a period of time, his life level reached the elite of the Bronze Age. Although he was still far from the peak, he had reached the stage of a mid-grade demon awakening its innate talent.

[Name: Wobbly]

[Category: Demon Race Talent]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect ①: Domination, increases affinity with wolf-dog species by 5]

[Effect 2: Strategist, more likely to gain the trust of high-ranking wolfhound species]

[Effect 3: Colluding with each other, Intelligence Rank +1]

"So you're a wolf, Second Brother." Wuhe exclaimed in surprise. A wolf is a hybrid animal born from a wolf and a fox or other canine, but it is usually small in size, which does not match the appearance of the other party.

"I didn't expect to get a DNA test done," Old Hei complained. "But I personally think that a monster's talent might not completely represent its race."

“But you killed the Icefield Wolf,” Wuhe whispered.

Old Black: "..."

That was the other person who jumped into the lake.

"It doesn't matter," Jiang He said casually. To him, it didn't matter whether Lao Hei was a wolfhound or a fox, but they had indeed seen wolf packs and foxes in the vast wilderness border area, so the two sides might be related.

Immediately afterwards, another gaunt figure appeared.

Wuhe stepped forward to check the prisoner's physical condition. The item bag could evolve into a blessed land in the future, or in Western terms, a dimensional sanctuary, but that was at least a thing of the Golden Age. At this stage, it could only be used as a small dark room and could not be used to transport living beings across worlds.

"Boss, it seems that the Deputy Sect Master is practicing the Bigu Gong (a form of fasting), and he is still conscious. It shouldn't be difficult to find out the cultivation method of a Qi cultivator through interrogation."

"I'll leave it to you." Jiang He stood up. He didn't plan to cultivate Qi Refining techniques. His energy was limited, so he could leave the research to Wu He or Lao Hei, depending on who was interested.

Chapter 171 World Settlement

Dangguan City.

Of the ten thousand Rubik's Cube dolls, two thousand remained to guard the city, while the remaining eight thousand were stuffed into the team's inventory in the form of Rubik's Cubes. The Rubik's Cube dolls are props that can be transported across borders. Border development is in its early stages and a large number of laborers are urgently needed.

"I plan to make a secret trip to the capital. I'll leave this to you. Remember to consult with Senior Gun King San if anything happens. Also, with the disappearance of the Jianchi Mountain formation, the pressure on the surrounding mountains has decreased significantly. The two thousand white wolves will establish their territory there, so there's no need to be too nervous."

In the dark tunnel, Jiang He walked down the stairs, with flickering firelight on the walls on both sides, accompanied by his deputy, Du Chang.

"Yes, sir." Vice General Du Chang clasped his hands in a fist salute, then asked, "My lord, what should I do if the Prince's mansion issues a summons?"

"Ignore his orders and proclamations, just leave him alone. Before I die, the Prince of Anbei won't do anything. His excessive prudence can sometimes be a weakness, but in the coming period, it will actually benefit our development."

Jiang He remained expressionless. He had received news from the court that Chief Minister Yan had died exceptionally quickly, something unprecedented in history. He was buried with all his crimes and secrets, which had somehow awakened a sliver of humanity in the emperor. Without the emperor's approval, the rumors of marrying the princess could not have spread.

After the Qilin exploded, the head of the Yan family disappeared and has not yet taken up his post at the Dao Palace. His vigilance is quite astonishing. However, the Yan family's pawns are not so lucky.

Inside the dungeon, Prefect Zhu, dressed in tattered clothes, sat with his head down behind the bars, looking like a dead man.

Deputy General Du Chang's eyes were cold. This guy almost caused his utter ruin. If he hadn't followed the right leader and been rescued from the Northern Barbarian camp by the Marquis, he would undoubtedly be a dead man now.

"The failure of this plan is the will of Heaven."

Prefect Zhu looked up and smiled bitterly. The Yan family started by beating the drum to appeal for justice, used the case of the stolen seal as a cover, and finally ended with the Golden Knife Plan. Theoretically, there was no problem. The betrayal of his trusted general was enough to lead the Duke of Pingluan to his gradual demise. Unfortunately, the other side found one of the few ways to survive. The Northern Barbarian army collapsed, and all the difficulties were solved.

If that were all, Prefect Zhu believed he was still destined to survive. However, the huge upheaval that began with the auspicious beast case had engulfed the Grand Secretary. Now that Grand Secretary Yue was in charge of the cabinet, the pro-war faction was carrying out purges in various places. He, a prefect, was nothing more than an insignificant ripple in the vast tide.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Prefect Zhu sighed, “My lord, those who achieve great things in ancient times must have a broad mind that embraces all rivers. There was once an emperor who swore an oath by pointing to the Jian River and forgave the murderer of his brother, and eventually seized the world. My lord has lofty ambitions. If you can forgive my offense, more talented people will surely flock to you in the future. Besides, I have not caused any real harm to you. The most important thing is that with the death of Chief Minister Yan, the powerful families of Yizhou are leaderless. Take this opportunity to widely invite talented people. When the dragon and snake rise from the land, the Anbei Governor’s Office will change hands in an instant.”

Jiang He stroked his chin. As expected of someone who had been a third-ranked scholar, what he said made some sense. He had a grudge against the Yan family, a fact known to all the prominent families in Yizhou. Forgiving Prefect Zhu was tantamount to sending a signal that he didn't mind that the prominent families had once relied on their mortal enemy, thus easily gaining a lot of support.

"Pity."

Prefect Zhu's face was ashen.

cluster!

Jiang He flicked out a small, withered sword finger. With the support of the spiraling force of light and darkness and the tiger's power, the sword finger was like a sniper bullet, shattering the head of Prefect Zhu.

Du Chang sighed softly. No matter what, Prefect Zhu was indeed talented.

Jiang He turned and left the dungeon, his eyes remaining completely calm throughout. Some paths are the right ones, but he chooses not to take them; some paths are dead ends, but he insists on forging them; and some paths are long and arduous, which is why he is interested in glimpsing the scenery.

"In fact, the talent of half a county is enough to govern a country."

"Therefore, I have no worries about entrusting the pass to you."

"You will personally handle the body of Prefect Zhu."

The deputy general, Du Chang, was stunned for a moment before he realized why the marquis had brought him along to execute prisoners.

"I will keep in mind the Marquis's instructions."

"A beating is a beating; there's no need to embellish it."

……

at dusk.

Wuhe and Lao Hei obtained information about the Qi cultivator's techniques through interrogation, and the former decisively sent the deputy sect leader of the Great Ming on his way.

Jiang He chose to end her world travels and return to her present situation.

Chapter 172 Return

The border, a vast and desolate plain.

Yuwang Valley, pioneering camp.

Inside the cabin, the entire animal team returned.

Jiang He took out the dolls and handed them to Wu He for distribution in order to speed up the construction of the camp. One by one, the dolls lined up to go out of the wooden house.

"Old Hei, here's the costume brooch for you. Take a doll to town and buy a set of first-grade textbooks for Zhuang Ya to use."

The little white snake groggily awoke from her neck. As a semi-accessory, her demon race talent, Rejuvenation, played a significant role in the battle against Dragon City.

"Understood." Old Hei picked up the brooch and walked out of the wooden house. Buying things was not difficult for him. The family's money was hidden in the small vegetable garden, and there were still several thousand yuan left, which was enough for daily use.

The two capable generals each performed their duties. Jiang He then took out his main weapon, a long spear, and a golden pendant obtained from Dragon City. After a series of enhancements, the Long Regret Spear had an additional dragon character, which was related to the Tou Tou Pool on the top of Jianchi Mountain.

[Name: Everlasting Regret Dragon Spear (Silkworm)]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect ①: Weighing a hundred pounds, yet feeling as light as nothing]

[Effect 2: Extremely Durable]

[Effect 3: Enduring Strike of Hatred, increases weight by using the user's hatred]

[Effect 4: Blood Wolf Smoke, which uses the holder's own blood essence to form a blood wolf shadow. Each wolf shadow deals damage equal to a full-power spear attack, with 20% of the damage converted into piercing damage. Maximum of three times per day (currently 12 wolf shadows)]

[Effect 5: Dragon's Blood Pain, attacks inflict a medium-level tearing effect, the wound causes persistent excruciating pain, and the spear tip gains medium-level sharpness]

[Effect 6: Dawn, deals 20% additional true damage]

[Effect ⑦: Inflicts a one-second will imprisonment on a designated enemy. The imprisonment effect depends on the willpower levels of both parties. Cooldown time: ten minutes]

[Effect ⑧: The Eternal Dragon Spear gains growth attributes and advances after absorbing five excellent-grade items (0/5)]

[Effect 9: Soldier Soul, deals 30% additional soul damage, gains the passive Soul Execution: When the physical body is completely destroyed, an execution effect is triggered on the spirit (line-of-sight execution)]

[Socketed with +9 Armor Shatter Gem: Increases Armor Shatter effect by 30%]

[Note: The longest spear among spears, the most luxurious of all, its excellence has been redefined. As the exclusive weapon of the great powers who have transformed themselves, it only recognizes the one who killed it.]

Jiang He channeled energy into the golden pendant, and in the blink of an eye, the pendant extended and transformed into the golden staff that Long Cheng had used. During the battle, this item had reduced his energy level several times.

The golden staff and the Long-Hate Dragon Spear fit together perfectly, and a clear rustling sound rang out inside the wooden house, as if silkworms were munching on mulberry leaves.

The process lasted for half an hour until the golden staff completely disappeared, and the Long-Hate Dragon Spear gained effect 10. The description in effect 8 changed to (1/5), and the original weight of 100 jun was increased to 200 jun.

[Effect 10: Soul Devouring, evaporates 300 of the target's energy value with each hit]

The ability to devour spirits is the main power of the golden Buddhist staff, which is inherited by the Everlasting Hatred Spear after it is devoured.

Finally, Jiang He received and used the targeted rare-grade ability scroll from the main quest.
