"What's the difference between a demon and a demon beast?"
Qin Ran pondered for a while, then explained to Li Shiyin who asked the question, "Take Zhuifeng as an example. If Zhuifeng grows normally, from a level one demon beast to a level two demon beast, and then to a level seven demon beast, and always maintains the appearance of a demon beast, then it is a demon beast.
“But if one day, he uses his own demon elixir as a price to rebuild his physical body and reshape a human body, then he is a demon.
"Or... take a transformation pill."
"Transformation pill?" Li Shiyin asked.
"It is a high-level elixir that can only be refined by cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage. It can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and make animals and beasts directly transform into humans."
"Which one is more powerful, the demon or the monster?" Li Shiyin asked again.
"This is difficult to judge, because the situation is too complicated, and it would be wrong to list a single subject as one." Qin Ran said.
“But there is a simple way to judge. Generally speaking, the more noble the bloodline, the stronger the monster will be, but monsters with poor bloodlines will have a certain chance of counterattack.
"When a demon beast transforms into a demon, it simply takes on a human form. It can then practice human magic and integrate into human society. However, the magic of top demon beasts is not inferior to that of top humans, so those ancient demons, immortal birds and beasts would not bother to transform into humans."
Li Shiyin nodded. She finally understood the monsters and monster beasts. She pointed at the snake monster Long Qiqi who was riding on the same horse as Qin Ran and sitting in Qin Ran’s arms and asked:
"What about her? What's her situation?"
Long Qiqi was wearing the clothes now. The clothes fit her well. They were begged from that village.
"Whether her bloodline is high or low, I can't tell." Qin Ran's expression was a little strange, and he lowered his head to look at the little girl in his arms.
"But she has no cultivation at this moment, and all her demonic power has been transformed into this body. Judging from this, her bloodline should not be very high. She must be the kind of demonic beast that is desperate and wants to change her fate by taking on a human body."
Knowing that Qin Ran was looking at her, Long Qiqi quickly raised her head and grinned at Qin Ran.
However, because there was a real fool like Li Shiyin who smiled foolishly at him every day, Qin Ran could clearly tell that the snake demon's silly smile was not a real silly smile, but a fake one.
This is a scheming snake demon.
Li Shiyin couldn't stand Long Qiqi, especially when she saw Long Qiqi smiling at her master. She glared at Long Qiqi and asked Qin Ran through gritted teeth:
"She has no cultivation at all! Then why not let her come with me?!"
Qin Ran let Long Qiqi ride with him, not because he was really a perverted uncle, but because he was on guard against Long Qiqi. After all, letting Li Shiyin stay with this treacherous snake demon...
Well, it’s hard to say for Qin Ran.
"Even if she has no cultivation, she is still a poisonous snake!" he explained to Li Shiyin.
, and then asked Long Qiqi, "What kind of snake are you?"
Long Qiqi curled his lips secretly and replied: "According to your human classification, I am a Yinsha Taipan Snake."
Yinsha Taipan Snake? !
Qin Ran was frightened when Long Qiqi said this. His knowledge of snakes was limited to books, and he had never personally identified a snake. So he had no idea that the snake he had been fighting with for most of the day was actually a Yinsha Taipan snake!
What is the Yin Sha Taipan Snake? The Taipan Snake, which was born in the Yin Sha land, is born with a Yin Sha constitution and has Yin Sha poison, which is enough to kill Jindan monks.
Ordinary Taipan snakes are extremely poisonous snakes, and the Yinsha Taipan snake is a fourth-level monster. So how terrifying would a transformed Yinsha Taipan snake be
Not to mention its combat power, just its poison...
Qin Ran didn't think much about it. He raised his hand and tapped all the important acupuncture points on Long Qiqi's body as quickly as possible, causing Long Qiqi's whole body to become stiff and unable to move.
Fortunately, the stupid apprentice was not bitten when he fought with her. Qin Ran felt a little scared.
The purpose of incarnating as a human is to practice human's skills. To practice human's skills, one must have human's meridians and acupoints. With human's meridians and acupoints, one also has human's weaknesses.
That's the gain and loss.
Long Qiqi transformed into a human and was sealed by Qin Ran using human methods. She had expected this situation. After being sealed, she just smiled sarcastically but did not speak.
Seeing her master so nervous, Li Shiyin knew that this Yinsha Taipan Snake was very powerful, but she glanced at Long Qiqi and saw that he was just a defeated opponent, so she curled her lips and said disdainfully: "According to what humans say?"
How dare you, a defeated general, speak so arrogantly
Long Qiqi's mouth was not sealed, and she could still speak. She sneered and replied:
"This world is dominated by you humans. The classification of species of other creatures is also made by you humans, so I don't agree with your classification. I can't create a new classification method, but I can disobey your classification method.
"You say I am a snake, a taipan snake, but I don't agree. I say I am a dragon, a red dragon with fine scales and no horns. My name is not Snake Qiqi, my name is Dragon Qiqi."
Oh? After hearing what Long Qiqi said, Qin Ran became a little interested. This turned out to be an interesting snake.
"It's really a lie to mislead the people!" Li Shiyin snorted coldly.
"I'm not a demon. Demons are also defined by you humans..." Long Qiqi continued, "One day I will become an immortal god, and I will transform the entire Lingnan region into my world. At that time, people will no longer be called people, but pigs, snakes will no longer be called snakes, but dragons, and immortals will no longer be called immortals, but maggots..."
This is a middle school snake with ideals.
Qin Ran listened and couldn't help but joked: "But immortals and gods are also defined by humans, and Lingnan Territory is also named by humans. People, pigs, snakes, dragons, and immortals are all defined by humans."
"ah?"
Long Qiqi was speechless.
Qin Ran added: "The words and language you are speaking now are human language."
“Humph!” Long Qiqi’s pink face was full of ferocity. Her black eyeballs turned into golden vertical pupils. She said stubbornly, “Then I will also create a language for the demon race!”
“Come on!” Qin Ran clenched his fist.
Seeing Long Qiqi defeated by his master, Li Shiyin became happy again. She hummed a song, pulled the reins, and went to the front.
We were not able to reach Anlu City today, and we wasted time on the road, so we didn’t even reach the border of Xuan Qin State.
It was still some distance from the border when it got dark, and we couldn't continue on our journey.
Although Qin Ran and Li Shiyin both had good vision, they had never practiced pupil techniques and could not see in a completely dark environment, so they had to stop and adjust.
Stopped in the wilderness.
Forget Anlu or Xuanqin, he couldn't even find a tavern, and ended up spending the night in the wilderness, which was the worst possible situation.
"It is urgent to learn a pupil technique." Qin Ran sighed as he taught Li Shiyin to set up the tent. "It turns out that everything is not going well. I hope things will get better in the future."
Soon, two tents were set up in the wilderness, and a bonfire was lit between the tents. A young couple and a chubby little girl sat in front of the bonfire, talking and roasting spirit beast meat.
There was the sound of crackling bonfires, the cool breeze from the mountains and fields blew up sparks, the grass rustled, and over there were two white horses tied, eating grass with their heads down.
Qin Ran sprinkled seasoning and spread honey on the barbecue. He had anticipated the worst-case scenario of spending the night in a deserted mountain, and had made adequate preparations.
The aroma of barbecue filled the air. The chubby little snake demon Loli hugged her legs, stared at the barbecue on the fire, and kept swallowing her saliva.
"Do you want to eat meat?" Qin Ran asked deliberately when he saw it.
"Meat! Meat!" Long Qiqi said hurriedly, and the little loli drooled all over the floor.
Qin Ran then cut a piece of meat for her.
The snake demon looks like a loli, but she has a big appetite; and Li Shiyin is even more of a heavyweight, who is good at nothing but eating.
So Qin Ran had to work hard for the meal for the three of them, and only got some meat to eat at the end.
They grilled meat, stewed soup, and also had vegetables and fruits. In this respect, Qin Ran had really learned the true teachings of Confucius, who never tired of fine food and never tired of delicate meat. Even though they were in the wild, he still treated Li Shiyin to a delicious open-air barbecue.
After eating and drinking their fill, and feeding the fairy horse some animal-feeding pills, the two men and the demon sat around the campfire, enjoying the night breeze and lying on the grass to look at the stars.
Although there were ghosts howling and wolves howling in the distance, there were also crickets chirping nearby.
The silly apprentice, who was well-fed and satisfied, was talking nonsense happily beside him. Qin Ran thought that it would be nice to go camping once in a while.
