The Centipede in the Night

Yi Feng poked at the centipede with his shovel.

"How did such a huge centipede suddenly die like this?"

Yi Feng was full of puzzlement. He had wanted to finish it off with a shovel at first, but thinking it was too disgusting, he didn't bother with it anymore.

After that, Yi Feng walked closer to the old turtle.

Hearing Yi Feng's footsteps, Bo Gu's heart thumped nervously, but remembering how the Night Wind Centipede had barely escaped by pretending to be dead, he relaxed a little.

"Is this old turtle dead too?"

Yi Feng kicked it with his foot, thinking it must have been smashed to death after falling down.

Upon hearing this, Bo Gu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn't revealed anything, and would likely be able to escape soon.

But just as he was relaxing, Yi Feng's excited voice rang out:

"Such a big old turtle is a great tonic! I'll take it back and cook it into soup, which will be perfect for my disciples to supplement themselves with!"

These words struck Bo Gu's mind like a thunderclap!

He, the great demon king, was actually going to be turned into soup?

Unable to withstand this blow, and still furious from the heavy fall, Bo Gu's eyes went dark and he immediately fainted.

Using the light from his fire pearl, Yi Feng grabbed some water plants from the nearby water and tied them into a grass rope. He then tied up the old turtle tightly and picked it up in his hand.

Weighing it in his hand, Yi Feng nodded satisfactorily. "This turtle must weigh several jin. My disciple can't finish it alone, I'll have to call Old Man Wu, Qingshan Old Man and the others to supplement themselves together another day."

Having said that, Yi Feng took out his map again.

"Cloud Road Flower!"

"This medicine won't be easy to find, I can only rely on luck everywhere."

After speaking, Yi Feng put the bamboo basket on his back, and holding the turtle in one hand, walked out of the water cave.

Not long after Yi Feng left, the Night Wind Centipede crawled up with a flip, his face full of lingering fear, his eyes filled with thick terror.

Recalling the sorry state of the demon king, he didn't dare stay any longer. Panicking, he crawled out of the cave, and perhaps in his haste, two more of his legs broke off. But he still didn't dare stop, crawling towards the mountain range.

"Come quick, we're in big trouble!"

"Everyone get out here, Bo Gu the Demon King is going to be cooked into soup!"

As he frantically yelled, he notified the nearby demons.

This massive incident instantly alarmed all the big and small demons in the mountain range, and upon hearing the news, the Eighteen Demon Kings also rushed back, gathering in a dark valley.

"Night Wind Centipede, what exactly happened?"

The Eagle King's sharp eyes flashed as he stared at the Night Wind Centipede and asked.

"Eighteen Demon Kings, you must think of a way! That human is simply too vicious."

The Night Wind Centipede cried pitifully, "That human directly broke into the Demon King's cave, not only uprooting his Spirit Water Grass, but also capturing the Demon King saying he would take him back to make soup! And I fought him for three hundred rounds, at the cost of two of my legs, and knowing I was powerless to save the Demon King, I had no choice but to run out to inform you!"

"Hmph, boastful nonsense!"

The powerful form of the Leopard King strode out, staring at the Night Wind Centipede and said heavily, "Even the Demon King was captured by that human, you are just a little centipede, how could you have fought him for three hundred rounds?"

With the Leopard King's skepticism, the other demon kings' suspicious gazes immediately turned to the Night Wind Centipede.

"It's absolutely true!"

The Night Wind Centipede quickly explained, "The only reason I could fight him for three hundred rounds was because after the Demon King fought him, his inner strength was greatly depleted and barely anything remained."

Speaking to this point, tears welled up in the Night Wind Centipede's eyes. His face full of shame, he said, "I originally thought I could save the Demon King, but I'm just a centipede with limited strength in the end. It's my fault, all my fault, I'm so useless!"

Seeing this, the Eagle King and the others felt uneasy.

Knowing they had wronged the Night Wind Centipede, they quickly walked over and patted his shoulder, gently comforting: "Night Wind Demon Spirit, just now we were too harsh with our words, don't take it to heart. We all know you did your best."

"That's right, we can all see the effort you made to save the Demon King." The Leopard King also comforted: "You should focus on recovering from your injuries. Leave saving the Demon King to us!"

"How, how could I..."

The Night Wind Centipede blinked his eyes, embarrassedly saying, "I've already done what I could. Just rest well from now on."

"You've already put in the effort you should have. Now focus on recovering well." said the Monkey King.

Hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Demon Kings, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll go back to recover for a few days first. When my injuries are healed, I'll come help you all."

The Night Wind Centipede said emotionally, then transformed into his original form and slowly crawled out of the valley.

Just after crawling out of the valley, he immediately ran to a dirt mound, dug out a pile of treasures, and quickly crawled away from the mountain range without looking back!
