Chapter 287: Intermediate Spiritual Stone
The demon at the front was tall and thin, and he could tell at a glance that he was from the Withered Bone Clan. He came to the man in golden armor, took out a purple-red object from his arms and handed it to him.
After looking at the purple thing carefully for a few times, the man in golden armor raised his palm and said, "Qualified, passed, next one!"
Following the sound, the demon from the Withered Bone Clan breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the hall with a happy face. As soon as he entered the hall door, he completely disappeared, as if he had entered another space.
Although this sudden disappearance seemed strange, Nie Yun knew that it was not a teleportation, but just a special defensive formation. Entering the door of this hall was equivalent to entering the formation and being controlled by others.
However, Nie Yun is not afraid of this kind of formation. In his previous life, he was a master of formation. Although he did not have the talent for formation, ordinary formations were not difficult for him.
After the demon from the Withered Bone Clan entered, the second one was a demon from the Iron Arm Clan. However, this guy seemed to be unlucky and was directly judged to be unqualified. Then two men in golden armor appeared in front of him, holding hands and holding it. All the clothes on his body were taken off and placed on the execution platform not far away to be burned by the sun.
The execution platform is a vacuum place, without the unique fog of the Ziqiong Mountains, the sunlight can shine through directly, and it is extremely vicious.
Sizzle!
As soon as this demon from the Iron Arm Clan was hung on the execution platform, foul-smelling green smoke came out of his body, accompanied by screams. After a while, he stopped struggling, and he didn't know whether he was dead or unconscious.
"Next!"
The inspection of the people in golden armor was indeed as strict as those previous demons had said. Seven or eight out of ten failed, and they were all dropped on the execution platform one by one and accepted the punishment, which was unspeakable misery.
"This is the annual payment I have to turn in this year!"
Suddenly, a demon in red came to the front, carefully took out a walnut-sized crystal from his arms, and said proudly.
This crystal is not big, but the spiritual energy on it is extremely rich. Electric sparks are released from time to time in the middle of the transparent crystal. It seems that the spiritual energy is too rich and will be released if it is not suppressed.
"Mid-grade spiritual stone? It's actually a middle-grade spiritual stone?"
"How is this possible? How can there be middle-grade spiritual stones in Qihai Continent? I read that right!"
"Such a good thing is actually used as an annual contribution. This demon field is really ruthless. With such a thing as a foundation, I'm afraid I will get a bigger territory next year!"
"It's too scary. The middle-grade spiritual stone is a supreme treasure that can only be used by the Supreme Peak to attack the secret realm. He is willing to take it out. Isn't he stupid? If I would definitely keep it for myself!"
"This is not stupidity, this is cleverness. If you hand over such a thing, you will definitely get the attention of Emperor Qi, gain a larger territory, more treasures, and you will definitely rise to the top in the future!"
Seeing this spirit stone, all the demons in the square fell silent for a while, and then burst into disbelieving exclamations.
The middle-grade spiritual stone cannot be produced in the Qihai Continent at all. It does not exist. The spiritual energy concentration of one of the same size is at least ten times or a hundred times that of a low-grade spiritual stone!
If you want to break through the secret realm, without the help of the secret realm demon core, you can only rely on middle-grade spiritual stones. Low-grade spiritual stones are simply not qualified!
Even a piece of this kind of treasure is worth a fortune. Even if it is not replaced by ten high-grade royal weapons, this demon named Yaotian actually contributes it as an annual contribution. It is really cruel!
"Mid-grade spiritual stone, medium, qualified, passed!"
Spirit stones of the same quality are not the same, and can be divided into high, medium and low grades. This mid-grade spirit stone is not top-notch, but average. Even so, it is enough to make any strong person's heart beat.
Soon Yao Liao's Yuanjing liquid also passed the inspection. The two people with him were not so lucky. They all failed and were hung on the execution platform to receive the torture of the fierce sun.
"Nǎinǎi, if we come to offer the things we worked so hard for, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will also be punished. I, Yaoyan, will no longer obey the orders of Ziqiong Mountain and will betray Ziqiong Mountain!"
The demon in gray clothes couldn't bear the insult. He let out a long roar, and the demonic aura dissipated all over his body. His supreme peak power surged, breaking the surrounding demonic mist.
Each of these monsters is in charge of a party and is a top figure. When they come to submit annual tributes, they not only receive no reward but also receive punishment. In desperation, their anger burns.
"Rebeled from the Ziqiong Mountains? Okay, okay, then you die!"
The leader of the man in golden armor seemed to have expected that something like this would happen. He snorted coldly, his gloomy eyes shone with an indifferent light, and he raised his skinny fingers forward.
Wow!
A ray of pure white golden light instantly cut through the sky and pointed towards the forehead of the demon in gray.
"It's not that easy to kill me, big demon hand!"
The demon in gray clothes is also a ruthless person. Since the two sides had a falling out, he did not leave any backup plan. The ghost claws were sinister and slashed across the sky. Suddenly, the sky was filled with evil energy and the ghost shadows were burning.
"It's a small trick, die!"
The man in golden armor ignored the ghost claws all over the sky, and the golden light suddenly became strong, like a ray of death piercing the golden stone, coming suddenly.
Crackling!
"ah……"
With a scream, all the attacks of the demon in gray and the ghostly shadows in the sky disappeared. A hole like a football was pierced in the chest by the golden light. His eyes were dim, and his body fell straight to the ground, his breath cut off.
"Yao Feng died with one move?"
"The peak of the Demonic Wind Supreme is ranked high even on the Holy Empire's ranking list, but he didn't even block a single move. It's terrifying!"
"It's better to pay the annual payment obediently. This guy is looking for death. No wonder others..."
"You dare to go against the Ziqiong Mountains, and don't even think about who gave you all your things. You deserve it!"
Seeing the gray-clothed demon being killed in one move, there were all kinds of expressions, some were surprised, some were afraid, some were happy, and some were gloating. Those who had some small thoughts in their hearts before, all suppressed their thoughts at this time and paid the annual tribute obediently.
"Who else is planning to rebel against the Ziqiong Mountains? I'll give you a chance. If you stand up within ten breaths, I can spare your lives. However, it's hard to say whether Emperor Qi can spare you!"
The leading golden armored man killed the gray-clothed demon with one finger. His momentum was complete. Looking around, his voice was like a thunder.
"Don't dare!"
Hearing this naked threat, all the demons lowered their heads.
There was no way. If they didn't come to pay the annual tribute, they would be wanted by the Ziqiong Mountains. If they paid the annual tribute, the treasures they had accumulated with great effort for a year would disappear. Since they couldn't resist, they could only endure it.
"You know what's happening! Okay, next one!"
Seeing that no one was talking nonsense, the man in golden armor sneered and waved his hand, and the crowd continued to line up to pay the annual tribute.
"Why do you two look so unfamiliar?"
Suddenly, a man in golden armor stopped Nie Yun and Xiao Feng.
