After speaking, Wang Ba spat out a bead emitting green energy from his mouth.
Looking at the bead spat out by their boss, the demons were all dumbfounded.
What is this?
Is this the boss's inner core?
No, the boss's inner core couldn't be this small, nor could it emit the smell of rotten eggs.
Wang Ba looked at the bead on the ground and said with some reluctance, "Alas, this is this king's life-saving elixir. Give it to this kid."
Upon hearing this, all the demons looked at the green bead on the ground in disbelief.
This was actually their boss's life-saving elixir.
Turtle demons, unlike other demons, do not possess powerful magic.
Their innate magic is weaker than that of other demons.
A turtle demon with five hundred years of cultivation might not be able to defeat a wolf demon with four hundred years.
Not every turtle demon is like this Wang Ba.
But their turtle demon clan has a heaven-defying spell.
From the moment they gained sentience, they could cultivate a life-saving elixir within their bodies using their vital blood.
Each life-saving elixir could only be cultivated once in a lifetime.
However, its effect was terrifying. As long as one did not die, any severe injury could be healed.
Even if your heart was torn out, you could still grow another heart by consuming this life-saving elixir.
This was the second life of the turtle demon clan.
Legend had it that a life-saving elixir cultivated for over five thousand years could even bring the dead back to life.
Of course, this was just a legend.
What made these demons even more incredulous was that their boss was actually going to give the life-saving elixir to this human kid.
This was equivalent to their boss's second life.
However, they were a bit confused as to why the life-saving elixir smelled like rotten eggs.
Rumor had it that the life-saving elixir emitted a herbal fragrance that could bring joy.
But why was this one so incredibly foul-smelling?
It was rumored that turtle demons usually kept this life-saving elixir under their tongues, just in case.
Could it be that this life-saving elixir had also been kept under their boss's tongue all along?
Damn, soaked in saliva for a thousand years, just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.
This smell... tsk tsk.
This kid was truly fortunate.
Wang Ba, seeing that the snake couldn't bite, asked, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and give it to this kid."
Looking at the life-saving elixir on the ground, the snake demon felt a bit disgusted.
At first, it didn't think it was that smelly, but the more it smelled, the worse it got.
Now, it was so foul that it wanted to vomit.
The snake demon panted, looking at the life-saving elixir, unable to bring itself to feed it.
The smell was too overwhelming.
But if it didn't move, it would surely be slapped to death by their boss in the next second.
It decided to go for it, even if it meant losing its mouth.
The snake demon took the life-saving elixir into its mouth, quickly crawled in front of Yu Daochen, and fed it to him mouth-to-mouth.
The moment Yu Daochen consumed the life-saving elixir, the wound on his shoulder healed at a visible speed, and the torn flesh and blood quickly regrew.
A moment later, all the injuries on Yu Daochen's body had fully recovered.
His lifeless face also began to regain its color.
Seeing Yu Daochen restored to his former state, Wang Ba murmured, "I have fulfilled my promise to you. From now on, we are even."
He also understood that Xu Feng was interested in his life-saving elixir, which was why he promised him the position of River God.
The snake demon looked at Wang Ba and asked, "Boss, what should we do with this kid now?"
Wang Ba thought for a moment and said, "Find any small boat, put him in it, and let him drift down the river. Someone will see him and save him, but we still need to have two demons keep an eye on him."
"Your subordinate understands."
The snake demon acknowledged and went to prepare.
"Wait a moment!"
Wang Ba suddenly thought of something. He glanced at the corpse of the Flood Dragon, then at the unconscious Yu Daochen, and said, "Give this kid a piece of the Flood Dragon's meat."
After eating a piece of Flood Dragon meat, Yu Daochen was placed in a small boat, escorted by two carp demons, and began to drift downstream.
Watching Yu Daochen leave, Wang Ba muttered to himself, "How much of a storm will you stir up in this life? I will wait and see."
The snake demon approached Wang Ba and flattered him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the position of River God."
The demons behind them all offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the position of River God."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the position of River God."
"..."
Looking at the scene before him, Wang Ba could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, a thousand years, I have finally ascended to the position of River God!"
A moment later, Wang Ba recovered from his joy and asked, "Were those two carp demons the offspring of this Flood Dragon?"
The snake demon shook its head and replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, no, replying to His River God, those two carp demons are not the offspring of the Flood Dragon."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba's eyes narrowed, and he stared at the snake demon, "Are you sure?"
The snake demon swallowed and nodded affirmatively, "Your subordinate is sure."
Wang Ba nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, kill them."
Hearing this, the snake demon was stunned, feeling perplexed, but did not dare to say anything. It nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as they return, your subordinate will kill them immediately."
Wang Ba grunted, a sinister smile appearing on his face, "I don't want to see a second Flood Dragon appear. Do you understand what I mean?"
As soon as he said this, the snake demon felt a chill down its spine and replied with some difficulty, "Replying to His River God, there are too many offspring of this Flood Dragon. Some have the same aptitude as ordinary carp demons, and it's impossible to distinguish them."
Wang Ba chuckled, "Then isn't that simple? Just kill them all."
"All of them!"
The snake demon could not believe its ears.
What was the difference between this and genocide!
It had known long ago that this Wang Ba was ruthless in his actions.
But it had never expected him to be so insane.
This was genocide, and who knew how many carp demons would be implicated.
This Wang Ba was several times more ruthless than that Flood Dragon.
Wang Ba saw that the snake demon did not reply and smiled, "Do you have any other questions?"
Although Wang Ba's tone was gentle, his smile was clearly a naked threat.
"Your subordinate understands. I will lead people to handle it now," the snake demon quickly replied.
At this time, survival was paramount.
In this world, whoever had the stronger fist had the right to speak.
If it refused, would the consequences be the same as those carp demons?
The answer was yes.
Wang Ba nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Alright, all of you withdraw. I am going to begin my cultivation (devouring the Flood Dragon's body)."
All the demons submerged themselves and swam away.
In the Yellow River, a brutal massacre was quietly beginning.
Wang Ba looked at the Flood Dragon's corpse and slowly said, "Boss, you can't blame me. I know the Dragon Gate is closed now, and becoming a dragon is impossible. But if you don't cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, they will grow back with the spring breeze. As long as your offspring are alive, I cannot rest easy."
Over the past thousand years, he had realized a truth.
It was better to live a miserable life than to die well. Once a decision was made, one could not be soft-hearted; one must eradicate the roots and leave no future trouble.
If you don't act, so be it. If you act, you must kill.
