Those demonic power crystals in the treasury, as long as you give a small bribe to those who are in charge of the treasury, you can secretly leak a lot. And this matter, Yue Yu also entrusted Huang Fan to handle it for him.

However, this method may be able to hide from the clan for a while, but Yue Yu will never believe that with the shrewdness of those old people and Yue Yunjie in the clan, they will not be able to detect any abnormality from beginning to end.

And if nothing else, I was afraid that those people had long been suspicious of what his purpose of collecting fourth-level demon power crystals was—so although he still had a lot of inventory left in his pocket, Yue Yu didn't plan to use it anymore. These demonic power crystals were intended to be used by him to give an explanation to the clan.

He was even ready for the reason - he tried to make the Talisman Arrow himself, and then consumed most of it. This method can even cover up the strange behavior of him building the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array more than a month ago. And the remaining demon crystals in his hand are what he is going to use for pretending.

So the current situation is that even if there is a demon beast that is suitable to trigger the calamity period, he no longer has any extra fourth-order crystals to urge the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array. And in the past few days, the five demon pills that have been harvested in a row have already made Yue Yu extremely satisfied. If he saved a little, the pills he made out would be enough for three months.

-- By this time, everything that had to be done had been done, and the food and materials that had been brought out were about to run out. But just like that, Yue Yu felt a little unwilling in his heart.

"Young Master, are you going to go further south?"

A voice came from his side again. But this time, it was from Lin Zhuo. Yue Yu couldn't help but glance to the side in surprise, thinking that this guy seemed to be indifferent, but his ability to observe words and emotions was not low. He had only curiously glanced at the southwest direction a few times in the past few days, and Lin Zhuo had keenly guessed his thoughts.

He really wanted to go further south now, this area was beyond the control of the Yue family, and more than a thousand miles to the south was where Yunmeng City was located. In addition, there are several medium-sized cities scattered around it that are not below Yuejia City.

According to the map, the area where the lion crocodile was frequenting recently was not far from them.

――Yue Yu was not very interested in those cities in the south. But he was extremely curious about the battle between the mechanic and the fifth-order demon beast. Especially the legendary huge machine beast, he has been admired for a long time.

"South, so you want to see the lion and crocodile?"

Ran Li's mind was also exquisite, and after thinking about it at this time, he guessed Yue Yu's plan in the tenth. And his eyes suddenly shone with a burst of luster, and he changed his attitude in an instant. "Young master, why don't you go and take a look? This is a rare opportunity, after this time, I'm afraid it will be a few months before I come out!"

Looking at Ran Li's face full of excitement, and although Lin Zhuo had no expression, the look of expectation in his eyes was thicker than anyone else's, Yue Yu couldn't help but smile dumbly. He groaned slightly, remembering that he had already informed Yue Zhang's before leaving this time. A few more days in the field shouldn't matter. He simply waved his sleeves at the moment.

"It's a shame not to take a look this time!"

Although it has been finalized, it is necessary to go south to take a look. However, before this, the three of them still had a lot of things to deal with.

Among the most important are the precious materials that have been dissociated from the body of the demon beast. Many of the things in it are worth tens of thousands of gold in the market, and it is a pity to waste them like this. However, if you don't deal with those beast tendons and silk sacs now, they will be corrupted in a few days.

However, Yue Yu had also expected this, and before he came out, he used the dozen or so pack beasts to bring out a lot of materials. It's just that this processing takes some time, and it took the three of them two days to complete all the nitrate. Even the mucus in the silk sac is also smeared with some potion to dry after the silk is formed.

And when they found a proper place to bury it, and when they officially set out, the things that those pack beasts were carrying did not increase but decreased compared to when they came.

The location of the lion and crocodile beast is about 600 miles away from here, in a place called Cangzui Mountain. There were dense mountains, and it was a more dangerous place than the area where Yue Yu was now. Recently, according to the news brought by the caravans from the south, the lion and crocodile beast has been using this as a base to attack the surrounding towns in all directions.

- This fifth-order demon beast can also be regarded as alert and cunning, and every time it attacks, it will always drive away and coerce some third-order and fourth-order demon beasts with good strength as its precursor. Therefore, every attack will always cause some villages and towns to give up the territory they have been operating for decades. or to the south, or to the north, and to scatter and flee.

Now there is no harm to those big cities, but the surrounding small cities are really hurt. Several major forces in the south of the North Horse Plains were weakened to the extreme in their peripheral forces for a while.

The only thing that was strange was why the lion and crocodile had to stay in that place. As far as Yue Yu knew, when the average demon beast reached this period, even if it was an insect or the like, it had almost the IQ of a human being about six years old. Knowing the power of the innate powerhouse of human beings, it is easy not to provoke. Unless they are completely enraged to the point of losing their minds, it is rare for such a high-frequency attack on a human town to happen. And the means used by this lion crocodile beast, in Yue Yu's opinion, were not so much an attack, but rather a purpose to drive away.

However, these have nothing to do with the three of them for the time being, and the distance of six hundred miles, with the distance of the dragon scale horse carried by the three of them, can only be reached in four hours. And even with the drag of the beast of pack. It only took two more hours to reach the outer edge of Cangzui Mountain.

――By the time we got here, I could already see some towns. Judging from the traces, it should have been an extremely prosperous place before this. But now those fertile fields are large areas of barrenness, and there are no people around, leaving only a piece of ruins and broken tiles and white bones covered with demon beast tooth marks.

And when he came here, Yue Yu didn't dare to be careless at all. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he released the third year of junior high school into the air. With this 'eye' hovering above them, at least it wouldn't collide with that lion crocodile beast and the other fourth-order demon beasts.

On the first day, the three of them chose to go around the mountain, but they found nothing. The only discovery was through the instructions of the third year of junior high school, and at the top of the nearby mountains, several buildings similar to beacon towers were found. Yue Yu guessed that this should be the sentinel of the people from the southern cities to warn the lion and crocodile beasts. Only now, like the ruins of those towns, they are empty.

And the next day, the three of them rested all night in one of the beacon towers, just ready to go deep into Cangzui Mountain. Yue Yu's complexion suddenly became extremely strange. Even Ran Li and Lin Zhuo were also stunned.

――At this moment, on the mountain where they chose to rest, you can see that below, countless demon beasts are galloping in the direction of the southwest. The thunderous sound of tens of millions of pairs of beast hooves trampling on the ground was clearly audible even from more than ten miles away. Even the three of them could vaguely feel that the ground under their feet was shaking.

And behind this herd, there was a large demon beast covered in blue-blue armor and its eyes full of dark blue glow. The body shape is like a crocodile but not a crocodile, like a lion but not a lion. It has a crocodile-like head, but is extremely majestic and has long limbs. But at its tail, it has a tail that is very similar to a crocodile tail.

- Although in terms of size, it is only about the same as the two hundred and forty-year-old lion-faced antelope. However, none of the three of them would have thought that this fifth-order demon beast was nothing more than that—the lion and crocodile beast was constantly roaming around in a large area behind those beasts, in order to intimidate some of these demon beasts that had left the team and returned to the team. And it was clear that within that group of beasts, some fourth-order peak demon beasts were already extremely struggling. A lion and crocodile whose activity is far above them. But it's still a leisurely attitude, as if it's a walk after dinner. In particular, when one of the fourth-order demon beasts tried to resist, and was quickly killed and torn apart by it in one blow, the three people on the mountain ridge were all chilled.

"This is the lion crocodile?

It wasn't until the herd of beasts gradually moved away that Ran Li stood up from the grass where he was hiding and took a big breath of fresh air. Before, he was forced by the beasts and the power and pressure, he didn't dare to take a breath, but until this moment, the tense mind was relieved.

Yue Yu was silent, quietly looking at the direction of the smoke and dust, his eyes full of haze. Just now, he felt that the spiritual power of his earth-based and gold-based spiritual power in Shenzhou had actually begun to stir. Even the Five Elements True Qi circulation in his body was affected, and there were some signs of instability.

- And all of this is due to that lion crocodile!

This demon beast's affinity for the earth and gold caste spirits of heaven and earth has reached an extremely terrifying level. Yue Yu himself estimated that even a person who cultivated these two caste martial arts and reached the peak of the earth rank would probably be difficult to use these two secret methods in front of it, and it was precisely because he understood its true strength that Yue Yu's feelings were much stronger than Zhi Ran Li.

"I don't know what the power of this lion crocodile beast is?"

Recalling in his mind, the first time he saw the tusked demon elephant and the stone spear and stone armor technique, Yue Yu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and at the same time, the talent of the two should be about the same. However, its weather must be completely different, and at this moment, Lin Zhuo had already come back to his senses.

"Look in this direction, that beast should be going to Cloud Valley-"
