Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 182 Little Salamander

"No, I haven't seen it..."

"My great-grandmother said..."

“Everyone in the west of the city knows about it.”

Hearing Cai Ji's questioning, the Demon Suppression Guards who spoke for the Demon King stammered in their answers.

Click!

At this moment, the bricks and stones on the ground near the Demon King suddenly cracked.

This means that it is using its spiritual power to fight against the confining power of the Holy Word.

The spiritual powers collided and the floor tiles suffered.

Cai Ji thought for a moment and then said to the demon king, "Be patient."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King, who had been tense all over, relaxed a lot instantly.

The resentment in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Instead, there is doubt and confusion.

"I will remove the restrictions on you, you can transform into a human form, and then we can have a chat, okay?" Cai Ji said politely.

"Hmm..." The demon king couldn't move his mouth and made a strange nasal sound.

"Return to normal!" Cai Ji didn't care whether it accepted or opposed, and directly lifted the Holy Word spell.

Swish!

As soon as the demon king regained his freedom, he jumped two meters high.

It jumped up and down around the well, asking questions like a string of bullets: "Who are you? Why are you disturbing my sleep? What do you want to do to me? What magic did you just use? Why can't I move?"

When Cai Ji saw the web-like tentacles on both sides of the demon king's face dancing in the wind, his heart suddenly moved!

He suddenly remembered what kind of animal this was!

Not a dragon!

It's a salamander!

A salamander king!

No wonder its body looks like an eel and its eyes are so big.

"You go and be on guard around here, don't let anyone get close to this side." Cai Ji did not answer the Demon King's question, but first gave orders to the demon-suppressing guards around him.

"This... is!" The silly sergeant finally stopped arguing.

Wow!

A team of demon-suppressing guards spread out and guarded the nearby intersections.

Cai Ji saw this and said to the demon king, "If you have any questions, come one by one! You ask one, and I ask one. This is fair enough."

"Okay!" The demon king stepped forward and nodded in agreement immediately.

It stopped jumping and came in front of Cai Ji, and began to perform shapeshifting.

Swish!

In a flash of inspiration, the two-meter-long body suddenly turned into a tiny thing.

Cai Ji took a closer look and felt a little amused.

The human being that the salamander demon king transformed into was actually a child of about ten years old!

The child is chubby, with a bald head, big eyes, and a tail following him.

If it weren't for the horns on his head, he would definitely be a little dragon.

"How old are you?" Cai Ji asked first.

"Three hundred and eighty years old." The little salamander answered, and immediately asked back: "How did you get me out of my home and onto the ground?"

Three hundred and eighty years old?

Shake it!

It’s good that the demon race has a long lifespan!

Three hundred and eighty years old is still a child!

"Magic." Cai Ji answered casually. Just as he was about to ask a question, he was protested by the other party.

"Be more specific! Don't play tricks!" The little salamander has lived for three hundred and eighty years, and he is not so easy to fool.

Although it looks childish, its thoughts are not childish.

Cai Ji thought for a moment and chose to speak frankly: "Specifically, it is the Holy Word Technique."

"What is the Holy Word?" the little salamander asked curiously.

"A kind of magic! You can't blame me if you don't understand it." Cai Ji replied with a smile.

"Okay, then ask!" The little salamander said helplessly.

"Have you ever hurt anyone?" Cai Ji asked.

"Of course not! They serve me so diligently, why would I harm them!" The little salamander answered confidently, and then asked back: "What do you want to do to me?"

"That depends on whether you are a threat to the human race." Cai Ji said solemnly, and then asked directly: "Why do people worship you?"

"Because I can ensure that the well is always full! The climate here is dry and rainfall is scarce. The people in the city rely on well water to survive. As long as they give me food, I can ensure that the well water is always full." The little salamander answered seriously.

That's it!

This demon king actually knows how to have a full meal every time!

No wonder the people of Pingsha City worship it as a god!

Cai Ji suddenly realized.

Before he could ask more, the little salamander spoke first: "My home is nearly a hundred feet away from the wellhead. How did you know I was down there?"

"Use a magic weapon! A magic weapon that can indicate the location of your demon clan." Cai Ji answered frankly.

"I'm not a monster! I'm a god! The god of the well! When you humans came here to build the city, my ancestors already lived here! My family has been the gods you worship for generations, some are river gods, and some are well gods!" The little salamander corrected dissatisfiedly.

When Cai Ji heard this, he laughed on the spot.

Although the other party's words were arrogant, they indirectly proved that the salamander demon tribe in Pingsha City had been living in peace with the locals for a long time.

The two sides not only coexist peacefully, but also benefit each other.

No wonder Grandma Liu said that the monsters in the world are actually the spiritual beasts in mythology.

Ten thousand years ago, the hostility between these spiritual beasts and humans was not that strong, and they even often cooperated with each other.

The little salamander in front of him was proof of that.

Cai Ji thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you have any contact with the demon tribe outside?"

"No! There are only our family and various local creatures in the underground river. As for the birds and beasts on the ground, who would go into the underground river for no reason? Even if a few appeared occasionally, they would have been eaten by us long ago." The little salamander answered without hesitation.

Da da da!

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Pingsha City's lord, Shasa Shui, received Wang Tiechui's order and hurried over.

“I didn’t know the special envoy had arrived! I’m sorry for not welcoming you!” The disheveled Lord of Sand City ran over, saluted Cai Ji first, then turned his gaze to the little salamander: “Ah? This is…”

He saw the little salamander's tail.

"This is the demon king who caused the alarm! He is also the well god of your Pingsha City!" Cai Ji took the initiative to explain and asked directly: "Lord of Sha City, you are not unaware of its existence, are you?"

"Mr. Special Envoy! I... I know the legend of the well god, but I have never seen it in person! I didn't even know it was a... no, a demon king!" Shasa Shui looked at the mysterious man in strange armor, explained with an embarrassed expression, and cautiously glanced at the child with a long tail.

When the little salamander heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

"Nonsense! Who is the demon king? I am God!" It stomped its feet angrily.

“Haha.” Cai Ji couldn’t help laughing when he saw the 380-year-old kid losing his temper. “Okay, okay, you are a god! I admit that you are a god! What happened just now was all a misunderstanding. I apologize to you.”

"Really?" The little lizard's face lit up, and he immediately seized the opportunity to say, "Since you want to apologize, then give me the magic weapon that revealed my location!"

"What's the use of that thing?" Cai Ji refused decisively and changed the subject directly: "Let me ask you first, is there a spiritual vein in the underground river?"

"How did you know?" the little salamander was surprised.

In its view, there is a spiritual vein on its own territory, which is an eternal secret that cannot be passed on to outsiders.

"Do I even need to ask this?" Cai Ji stroked his chin and said with a smile, "The underground river resources are scarce. If there were no spiritual veins, how could your ancestors have such high cultivation levels and be regarded as river gods and well gods by the human race?"

"What do you want?" the little salamander asked nervously.

"Don't worry! I'm not interested in your family's spiritual veins!" Cai Ji put on an air of mastery and said, "How about this! I'll help you widen your meridians and greatly speed up your cultivation. In the future, you'll protect the human race here well. How about that?"
