In a dark and gloomy underwater cave, an enormous centipede crawled along the rocky wall towards the inside of the cave.
In the middle of the cave, there was also an old turtle lying there lazily!
"Great Demon King, Great Demon King, this is bad!" The centipede anxiously shouted, "Just now a human came to steal the Heavenly Heart Stone, and even smashed Lord Hei Yu to death with a shovel. I barely managed to escape, losing two of my legs in the process, to come back and report to the Great Demon King!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, the lazy turtle that was lying there suddenly stood up. The calm water surface was abruptly stirred up into towering, ferocious waves, sending sprays of water dozens of feet high into the air.
"You're saying someone stole my Heavenly Heart Stone? Who was it, who was it exactly?"
"I don't know who it was either, just that it was a human. He's still at the Heavenly Heart Stone right now." The centipede hurriedly explained.
"Let's go, take me to find him. I will definitely kill this damned human."
The turtle radiated boundless fury, swiftly transforming into a streak of light that disappeared in an instant. The centipede quickly followed after him.
...
"It looks like the map shows there's a water cave here. I wonder if there's any Spirit Water Grass inside," Yi Feng came to a creek, and it seemed there was a cavern not too far away that could lead into the underwater cave.
Following the creek upstream, Yi Feng eventually found the entrance to the cave and went inside.
Inside the cave.
It gave off an eerie and sinister feeling. He couldn't see his hand stretched out in front of him, everything was pitch black. He could only feel small droplets of water dripping down from the cave walls above, landing on his shoulders and bringing a chill.
Yi Feng shivered and took out the Flame Pearl from his chest.
As soon as the Flame Pearl came out, it lit up the entire cave while also giving Yi Feng a feeling of warmth.
"Huh?"
After just getting a clear look inside the cave, Yi Feng was surprised to see traces of the Spirit Water Grass.
"I'm really lucky today, but it looks pretty tall. It'll probably take some effort!"
Yi Feng nodded and put down the bamboo basket on his back. Then, holding a small shovel, he started climbing towards the Spirit Water Grass.
...
"A human?"
"Tell me, where is that human?"
At this time, Bo Gu the turtle and the centipede also arrived at the Heavenly Heart Stone. The Heavenly Heart Stone was already gone, and aside from the corpse of the smashed Hei Yu on the cliff wall, nothing else could be seen.
"I, I, Great Demon King, when I left, he was still here!" The centipede anxiously explained.
"Hmph!"
"Damn it, a petty human actually dared to step on my, Bo Gu's, head!"
In his fury, Bo Gu was suddenly enveloped in a flash of light and transformed into an old man carrying a tortoise shell on his back. But his features were hideous, with his facial features squeezed together, giving people a frightening feeling from just his looks alone.
"Where are the Eighteen Demon Kings?"
With another roar from him, demonic winds started swirling around Bo Gu.
After that, a man with a leopard's head leapt out into the air.
Right after the leopard came the Monkey Demon King, the Pig Demon King, the Wolf Demon King, the Eagle Demon King, and the rest of the Eighteen Demon Kings. They all hurried over and knelt before Bo Gu.
"Great Demon King, may we ask why you have summoned us?"
The Eighteen Demon Kings asked in unison.
Bo Gu's expression was gloomy as he heavily commanded, "A human has come to the mountains. Not only did he pick my Heavenly Heart Stone, but he also killed Hei Yu. I want you to find the traces of this human within half an hour and bring him before me. I will feast on his flesh and blood."
"Yes, Great Demon King!"
With an order, the Eighteen Demon Kings transformed into demonic winds and swiftly departed.
"Great Demon King, don't be angry. This is our territory, he can't have gone far," the centipede fawned with a smile. With a flash of demonic energy, he also transformed into a human-headed centipede, though his numerous arms and legs still remained. Obsequiously he said, "Great Demon King, please wait here while I massage your shoulders!"
As he spoke, his countless hands expertly worked together to give Bo Gu a shoulder massage.
"Hmph, you useless thing, this is the only use you have. Otherwise, just for losing the Heavenly Heart Stone, I would have fed you to the Eagle King already," Bo Gu coldly snorted.
"Yes, yes, you're right."
The centipede wiped his sweat and worked even harder.
The half hour passed quickly, and the Eighteen Demon Kings returned to Bo Gu right on time. But their faces all wore grave expressions as they knelt on the ground and quietly reported: "Great Demon King, we have searched the entire mountain range but could not find any traces of that human."
"What did you say?"
Bo Gu abruptly stood up, his immense aura directly blowing the centipede behind him away. His gloomy eyes stared at the Eighteen Demon Kings, rendering them unable to even breathe a word.
"Pass my orders, expand the search area. That damned human must be found." Bo Gu gritted out.
"Yes!"
The Eighteen Demon Kings disappeared again.
"Great Demon King, what should we do now?" The centipede slowly crawled back and cautiously asked.
"That damned human who dared to steal my Heavenly Heart Stone, I will make sure he does not meet a good end," Bo Gu gloomily stated. "However, this king's breakthrough is imminent. No more accidents can happen with the Spirit Water Grass. I will first return to my cave manor and absorb the Spirit Water Grass. After that, I will personally deal with that damned human!"

This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
