Chapter 2: Silver-striped Water Snake (Genus Hebius)

  Mo Xin didn't spend much time before entering deep into the Da Ri mountain range.

  With his speed, coupled with intentionally avoiding various magical beasts and focusing on rushing along the road, this speed was naturally incredibly fast.

  In the depths of the Dali Mountains, there are far fewer visible demons. The territories of various high-level demons are clearly demarcated. Generally, the stronger a demon's power, the larger its territory. It seems that demons have divided their territories based on their relative strengths.

  In the depths of the mountain range, there are fewer demonic beasts fighting each other. Generally, high-level demonic beasts in the depths get along with each other and don't easily provoke conflicts.

  In their own territory, monsters rarely have the presence of other monsters. If there are any, they are either recognized as the same kind or have already submitted to them.

  The hierarchy among demons is very strict.

  The deeper you go into the Dali Mountains, the higher the level of the magical beasts.

  After entering deep into the mountain range, one can clearly feel that there are quite a few saint-level magical beasts in the deepest part of the mountain range.

  There was the top of the Darri Mountain Range's Golden Pyramid of Magical Beasts, but he didn't go in.

  It's not that he doesn't dare, nor is it that he can't, but rather he really just doesn't want to.

  Mo Xin didn't want to stir up trouble in the Dali Mountain Range for the time being, as it would be of no benefit and might even bring a lot of trouble. After all, he had to stay there for a while.

  He always felt that this world was absolutely not as simple as the existing classics, and there might be many formidable guys hidden, just like the legendary super-god-level strongmen.

  They like a quiet environment, Mo Xin also likes it, especially when his strength has not recovered much.

  If there was no Mo family, Mo Xin would not care about the situation on the mainland at all. He had absolutely no interest in it and just wanted to hide in a corner and cultivate peacefully, without paying attention to what was happening outside.

  But now that the Mo family is on his shoulders, he can't help but worry about whether the Mo family will be dragged down by the unstable situation on Longshen Continent. If things go wrong, he'll have to follow them down, and trouble will come one after another to find him.

  He doesn't like this point, and he dislikes it quite a bit.

  Mo Xin didn't need to make a mess of the world, it was of no benefit to him, and neither did it bring any benefits to the Mo family.

  Seize the time to cultivate and recover your strength, this is the right way.

  After all, strength decides everything. If Mo Xin had absolute strength, the situation on Longshen Continent would be whatever he wanted it to be with just one word. However, his current strength is not enough, so thinks Mo Xin.

  Mo Xin, who was advancing quickly, stopped in the area where nine-grade magical beasts gathered. In the end, he chose a small valley with a decent view, the territory of a nine-grade water system magical beast.

  The mountain valley is over ten miles in circumference, with a small lake in the middle. The Nine-Headed Water System Magic Beast lives in this small lake.

  Next, Mo Xin took over this territory in a very impolite manner, of course including that ninth-level water system magic beast.

  No matter what, he needs a housekeeper-level demon beast.

  The wisdom of a ninth-level demon is very high. If there isn't too much hatred between two ninth-level demons, they generally won't easily start a dispute.

  It also proved that sentence, the stronger one's strength, the more afraid of death.

  After all, if two powerful demons are to be divided into victory or defeat, the most likely result is that one will die and the other will be seriously injured. In the end, the wounded demon will also be killed by other demons before it has time to recover.

  The ninth-level demon wasn't stupid and understood these things; no high-level demon truly wanted to die.

  If Mo Xin were to kill or drive away that ninth-level water-elemental demon beast, it would only bring about no small amount of trouble.

  A balanced destruction will inevitably lead to a new balance, and this process takes time and trouble, but trouble is what Mo Xin dislikes the most. Moreover, he still hopes to rely on this guy to guard the door for himself, so leaving Silver Horned Water Snake behind is not a bad choice.

  As for why they didn't choose a Sacred Beast to keep watch, it was because the Sacred Beasts in the Dari Mountain Range were too few and far between, and they knew each other too well. Moreover, they were highly intelligent, so if one Sacred Beast was caught, it would be easy for the others to detect.

  But ninth-level magical beasts are different, there are many of them, and missing one or two heads doesn't make a difference.

  The current strength of the Devouring Demon Mouse is still too weak, although it has eaten a lot of elixirs and alchemy potions in a short period of time, but its strength has only increased to a limited extent, after all, the time is too short.

  Small monsters can survive in front of level 6 demons and, if lucky, can hunt down level 4 demons with their own poison, so for now, it's pointless to rely on small monsters for help.

  Of course, Mo Xin thought highly of Xiao Guai and also had confidence in turning him into a true Magic Annihilator.

  The little monster has a lot of room for growth, as long as it has enough time, the little monster can absolutely become a powerful monster.

  Won't magic, small monsters' strength enhancement main direction is the physical strength and physical attack of the mouse, attack speed.

  The nine-level demon in the lake is a silver-horned water snake of the water system.

  The Silver-Horned Water Serpent is several dozen meters long, with a thickness of three to four meters. Its entire body is white, and it has a silver horn on its head. Legend has it that the Silver-Horned Water Serpent possesses the bloodline of a water-element giant dragon, and its strength ranks in the middle among ninth-level magical beasts. After all, the attacking power of water-element magic isn't too strong.

  After entering the small valley, Mo Xin quickly subdued the silver-horned water snake with some violence. The process was a bit brutal and the silver-horned water snake hadn't even reacted before it was beaten to near unconsciousness. Mo Xin didn't want to make too much noise, lest he alert all the magical beasts in the surrounding area, so he had to use his real skills to end the fight quickly.

  Then Mo Xin used the Yu Shou Jue to control the Silver Horn Water Snake with his divine consciousness, and in this way, the Silver Horn Water Snake became Mo Xin's demonic pet in a state of almost no consciousness.

  As long as Mo Xin has a thought in his mind, the Silver Horned Water Snake will die immediately, and its soul will be destroyed, dying to the point where it cannot die again.

  At the same time, the controlled demon beast will only move according to its master's will from then on. Wherever the heart points, the Silver Horned Water Snake will absolutely not go in the opposite direction.

  Of course, this process will still take some time.

  After doing all this, Mo Xin let go of the Silver Horned Water Snake and directly ordered it: "From now on, your name will be called Silver Horn. Now you go to guard the valley, no one and no demon beast is allowed to approach the valley."

  A ninth-level magical beast has very high intelligence, almost equal to that of an adult human.

  Ordinary demons can only speak at level 9, and sacred-level demons can transform into human form. However, there are a few exceptions among demon species, such as the high-ranking dragon species that do not fall under this category.

  Yin Jiao clearly understood the current situation. As long as the person in front of him had a slight change in his mind, he would die. Although he didn't know why he had such a terrifying feeling.

  The silver corner was unclear how the person in front of him controlled himself, but he clearly understood that the strength of the person in front of him was not something he could resist. Moreover, his life was still in the other's hands, so it was better to be honest and obedient. The silver corner thought with some sadness, after finally becoming a ninth-level demon beast, he hadn't even had a few good days before becoming someone else's demonic pet without any resistance.

  Although the nine-level demon beast was very proud, even prouder demon beasts could only lower their heads when faced with an even more powerful existence. The strong are revered, this is the survival rule of all living things in this world, and there's no way around it, so the Silver Horned beast can only honestly serve as Mo Xin's demonic pet.

  "Yes, master." Silverhorn said respectfully.

  "Work hard and follow me, you won't suffer any grievances, and the benefits will be great." Mo Xin said comfortingly to Yin Jiao, who looked a bit listless.

  "Yes, master." Silver Horn's emotions calmed down a bit as he said this.
