Chapter 79: My Fleshly Body Was Not Without Its Advantage!

“No, no……”

The bicycle you could not bear to ride, someone else stood up and pedaled.

“You can’t do this……”

The tears you shed at night, someone else sweated at night.

“Don’t devour it, I beg you, Mo Lin, don’t devour it……”

When you cried until you couldn’t breathe, someone else ate until they couldn’t breathe.

The Black Bear wearing the golden circlet trembled as it stepped forward on its own legs, heading toward Mo Lin, who was madly devouring the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore, trying to stop him—

For the Black Bear, the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore was a supreme treasure it had guarded for three years, cautious and careful, almost not daring to touch it excessively.

It could secretly “meet” with the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore in this mountain, and it also possessed the ability to refine the ore’s poison that others did not.

One could say it was the true soulmate of the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore.

Although, due to certain irresistible factors, the secret of the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore was no longer its alone, it still believed that as the first one to discover the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore cave in this mountain, it was the most special.

It believed that once it got through this difficult period, its relationship with the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore could return to what it once was.

“Gudong, gudong, gudong……”

But at this very moment, right now, watching Mo Lin wildly devour the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore, and hearing the beautiful sounds from within Mo Lin’s body that it had never heard before,

The Black Bear, while hating that Mo Lin dared to treat the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore so wantonly, also felt a faint trace of envy:

If Buddha I could also directly devour the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore, would the ore also make such a beautiful “gudong” sound within my body?

At that thought, the Black Bear shamefully felt its saliva frantically secreting.

If it could be like Mo Lin, why would it still need to hide so cautiously in the Mountain God Temple for so many years?

If it could be like Mo Lin, ignoring the degrading effect of ore poison on the fleshly body……

Wait.

The Black Bear froze, snapping back from its envy, jealousy, and hatred toward Mo Lin.

Speaking of which, why did the ore poison not degrade Mo Lin’s body?

Even if Mo Lin was an Earth Anaconda, with resistance to ore poison greater than its own Profound Rank superior grade self, it should not be to the point that after madly devouring two thousand jin of Purple Crystal Dragon Ore, there was still no effect, right?

This simply did not conform to the very definition of ore poison!

“Hey! Mo Lin! How did you do it? Why can you devour the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore without refining it?”

“This is impossible?!”

“The law of ore poison degrading the fleshly body applies even to Earth Demons, even if…… this makes no sense!”

In a moment of anxiety, the Black Bear almost blurted out: “Even the Mountain Lord could not so wantonly devour the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore like you.”

After all, it still intended to rely on the Mountain Lord to deal a blow to Mo Lin. If it let that slip now, how could it trap Mo Lin later?

But just as it nearly said, even the Mountain Lord could not achieve what Mo Lin was doing—

Otherwise, why would the Mountain Lord still guard this treasure mountain? Wouldn’t he have simply devoured the entire Purple Crystal Dragon Ore mountain himself?

It was precisely because even the Mountain Lord, the king over a thousand miles, did not have the power to devour the whole Purple Crystal Dragon Ore mountain in one go.

Yet, looking at Mo Lin before it, still madly devouring the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore stones, the Black Bear faintly felt that this anaconda before its eyes might actually be able to accomplish what even the Mountain Lord could not.

Mo Lin, delighting in his feast, only felt that there was a giant mosquito buzzing endlessly at his side, making his pleasurable eating not so perfect.

Was he supposed to tell the Black Bear that his talent was to devour all things? That ore poison was no threat to him at all?

Mo Lin very unhappily turned his head:

“Bear beast, regarding that Black Wind Stronghold matter back then, I haven’t even settled accounts with you. Now that you offer your fleshly body to me, all grievances between us can be written off.”

The Black Bear instantly couldn’t help but curse aloud:

“Snake demon, what nonsense are you spouting, am I some innate being? Without a fleshly body, how do I live?”

“What all grievances written off, don’t you just want to eat me!”

Mo Lin paused in his eating, glancing at the Black Bear with admiration, signaling that it was quite clever.

The Black Bear nearly spat blood from anger:

“Didn’t we agree, I tell you the location of the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore, and you let me go? Are you going back on your word?!”

Mo Lin nodded, giving the Black Bear another appreciative glance, signaling that it was indeed clever.

Mo Lin easily tied up the Black Bear once again—in the face of his Earth Rank strength, the Profound Rank superior grade Black Bear was simply not worth much.

He was no longer prepared to waste words with the Black Bear.

Why not just devour the noisy Black Bear directly, then continue enjoying his ore feast? Wasn’t that far more fragrant?

Seeing himself about to be sent into Mo Lin’s mouth, the Black Bear, who had just been cursing, now humbled himself once again:

“Brother Snake, Serpent Bodhisattva, Snake Father! Spare me! Please, spare me!”

“I haven’t bathed in three months, I’m stinking and filthy, won’t that dirty our Snake Father’s mouth?”

“You, being magnanimous, just treat me like a stinking fart and let me go.”

Mo Lin remained unmoved, continuing to send the Black Bear toward his mouth.

Seeing that both bargaining and appeals to emotion were useless, the Black Bear cried out again:

“Snake Father, Snake Father, wait, you can’t eat me! Haven’t you noticed the golden circlet on my head?”

Mo Lin paused his eating of the Black Bear, glancing at the dazzling golden circlet on its head.

According to the Black Bear, this golden circlet was placed upon it by a lustful monk of the Child-Giving Temple.

On the surface, it was to show devotees the might of Buddhism, but in truth, it was to try to extract from the Black Bear the location of the Purple Crystal Dragon Ore.

Seeing Mo Lin pause, the Black Bear hurriedly continued:

“Snake Father, don’t underestimate this golden circlet. This golden circlet was stolen by that lustful monk Wuzhen from his master of the White Horse Temple, a treasure of Earth Rank. If wielded by an Earth Rank, even you would be locked down by it just as I am.”

“As far as I know, that Wuzhen left the Child-Giving Temple precisely to seek his master Jingchen, and that Jingchen is a monk of Earth Rank strength!”

“Moreover, this golden circlet was blessed by a high monk of the White Horse Temple. It cannot be controlled by a demonic beast’s demonic power. Even as an Earth Anaconda, don’t think you can eat me and then use this circlet to counter that lustful monk.”

“What do you think your odds are if you face those two bald monks?”

Mo Lin pondered.

If the Black Bear wasn’t lying this time, then against the combination of Jingchen, Wuzhen, and the golden circlet, his odds of victory were perhaps only fifty-fifty.

Seeing he had swayed Mo Lin, the Black Bear pressed on:

“Snake Father, let me go now, and when the time comes, I’ll stand with you. How about that?”

“Our Earth Anaconda–Profound Bear combination could fully contend against those two bald donkeys, even defeat them……”

As the Black Bear was still laying out his “tactical blueprint” for Mo Lin, he failed to notice that a faint fire had risen in Mo Lin’s heart:

Why did it feel like everyone could negotiate with him at critical moments?

Half a year ago, that Xu Jiaren, a mere mortal, dared negotiate with him, a Profound Demon—although he hadn’t actually intended to spare Xu Jiaren, and Xu Jiaren was only saved by the Earth Rank swordsman Shi Yi.

Now that he had become an Earth Demon, even this Profound Rank Black Bear dared to negotiate with him.

Did he really have a face that naturally said, “I’m very friendly, come negotiate with me”?

Back then, when he was weak, it could be excused.

But now that he had already transformed from snake into anaconda, becoming an Earth Demon, gazing across a thousand miles, with only the Mountain Lord as a beast equal to stand beside him, could he still not enjoy acting according to his own will?

Even without allies, even if the enemy were Earth Rank monks, even if the opponent wielded Earth Rank treasures—so what?

His fleshly body was not without its advantage!

A mere Profound Rank Black Bear with a history of betrayal, do not delude yourself into thinking you could be lumped together with the noble Earth Anaconda, yaoya!!!
