A good old demon?
Did that mean a good old person?
Bai Sha glanced subtly at Mo Hen, then immediately averted her gaze.
Although Mo Hen’s current demeanor seemed very amiable, recalling the events of the first and second lives, Bai Sha remained wary of him deep down.
“This time, we’re going to mine a Water Jade deposit,” Yin Sha explained the situation in greater detail to Bai Sha as they moved through the seawater.
Water Jade Stone, extracted from Water Jade Mines, was a mineral with a wide range of uses. However, because it was difficult to mine and not abundant in quantity, its price was slightly higher than other minerals of the same tier, which also made the related commissions more valuable.
At this moment, Mo Hen asked curiously, “The location of the Water Jade Mine this time was provided by the client, but will that place really have Water Jade Stones? I’ve been there before, and I remember it being a rather barren place.”
“It should be fine, right?” Hong Xing said carelessly. “The commissions in the Demon Alliance don’t allow for any problems. Otherwise, the client won’t be able to continue operating in the Alliance and will earn a spot on the wanted board.”
“Clack, clack.” Hong Gang rapped his two pincers together twice and then agreed, “The Law Enforcement Squad of the Demon Alliance is by no means just for show.”
Seeing this, Mo Hen smiled and said, “Perhaps I’m overthinking it. Let’s just get to the location and assess the situation.”
“Swoosh…”
The five demon cultivators darted swiftly through the seawater.
Seabed rocks, aquatic plants, coral reefs… all kinds of scenery rapidly receding in their vision.
Along the way, they naturally encountered quite a few fish and shrimp. However, these ordinary, unenlightened animals, upon merely seeing them, would be frightened away by the powerful aura emanating from their bodies. None dared to approach.
Before long, they arrived at their destination.
‘It really is somewhat desolate here.’
Bai Sha’s gaze slowly swept across the surroundings.
This was a seabed area filled with a chaotic pile of boulders. No seaweed grew here, and it was the kind of place ordinary fish and shrimp wouldn’t want to go near.
“According to the route the client provided, it should be over here.”
As Yin Sha spoke, she opened her mouth and spat out a stream of water.
“Boom!”
The water stream blasted out, directly impacting the boulder pile. Accompanied by a series of rumbling sounds, it sent large rocks flying outward with astonishing destructive power.
Seeing this, Bai Sha’s eyes lit up slightly.
Could this be a spell?
As the boulder pile was blasted open by Yin Sha, a pitch-black cave entrance was revealed beneath it.
“Let’s head in.”
Hong Xing took the lead without hesitation, swimming over and entering first.
Hong Gang and Mo Hen filed in after him.
“Sister Yin Sha,” Bai Sha came to Yin Sha’s side at that moment. “What spell was Sister Yin Sha using just now?”
Yin Sha was very accommodating towards Bai Sha, a fellow member of her race. She smiled and answered, “Water Dragon Burst. That’s the name of the spell I just used. The power’s not bad, right?”
“What do I need to offer if I want to learn this spell?” Bai Sha asked very directly.
Demon society is different from that of humans. Demons gain sentience and struggle to survive in a state of ignorance, then stumble onto the path of cultivation. They don’t grow up through enlightenment and structured education like humans do.
As a result, the vast majority of low-cultivation demons aren’t very scheming and often speak in a very direct manner.
Although Bai Sha had many private thoughts of her own, she felt it was more suitable to be direct when dealing with other demon cultivators.
