Chapter 11 – The Fallen Demon

Cheng Zhou opened his hand and the four-leaf clover worm appeared on his palm.

“Master, do you know about this?” Cheng Zhou asked.

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and said: “Of course. It’s a four-leaf clover worm, a weed insect. Totally useless.”

Cheng Zhou frowned and said disapprovingly, “How can it be useless? It should be that its advantages were not discovered yet.”

Ye You shrugged and said: “Feel free to think so. Horned boars like to eat four-leaf clovers. Where there are four-leaf clovers, there will be horned boars. Some big noblemen are able to use alfalfa to attract horned boars to be hunted.”

“However, the villagers in Black Wheat Village are just a group of peasants and not the match of horned boars. Once horned boars descend the mountain, it will be a disaster for them. Therefore, people in Black Wheat Village have been committed to cleaning up the four-leaf clovers but the vitality of this grass is very tenacious. After one batch is eradicated, another batch will emerge.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “So that’s how it is.”

Ye You wrinkled his eyebrows and said: “The attraction of four-leaf clover insects to the horned boars is fatal. You’d better put it away.”

Ye You didn’t need to be afraid of horned boars at all in his heyday, but he had just escaped from death. Although he absorbed Cheng Zhou’s strength and recovered some energy, it was only so little. At this time, if they encounter a herd of horned boars, the situation will be very dire.

Hearing the words, Cheng Zhou immediately said: “Okay.” Cheng Zhou put the four-leaf clover worm into his body.

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and hesitated.

Cheng Zhou was puzzled and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“You keep the four-leaf clover worm in your body?”

Cheng Zhou asked with some doubts: “Is there any problem?”

“No, it’s just that if you keep the four-leaf clover worm in your body, it will absorb your body’s nutrients to grow. You should eat more so to avoid being overdrawn by it.” Ye You said.

Cheng Zhou nodded and said inwardly: I see. No wonder my appetite has increased so much recently and also no wonder that I collapsed after contracting the four-leaf clover worm last time.

Cheng Zhou asked with some curiosity: “How can I raise it if I don’t keep it in my body? I saw that the village head of Black Wheat Village also raises it this way.”

Ye You narrowed his eyes and said: “Peasants do indeed raise them like this, but it is risky. If the peasants do not have enough meat to supplement the frequent use of the ability of the spiritual insects, they can easily be drained of their body’s nutrients and die. Nobles often kept a lot of spiritual insects. These people raise spiritual insects in special jade boxes and usually feed them with jade powder.”

Cheng Zhou: “Jade box, jade powder, it sounds very expensive!”

Ye You nodded and said: “Naturally, most of the jade ore veins are in the hands of the nobles. For most places, if one wants to buy jade boxes and jade powder, they must be of noble status. Even if peasants get spiritual insects, many of them feel that they can’t afford to raise them, so they will offer them to the nobles.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: ” So that’s how it is. Is there any other way?”

“If there are elixirs to support it, that is also possible.” Ye You said.

Cheng Zhou glanced at Ye You and asked: “Elixirs? What kinds of medicines can be considered as elixirs?!”

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou once again with the eyes as if seeing a mentally retarded. Cheng Zhou is a little embarrassed. He has only been here a few times, so it is not surprising that he doesn’t understand!

“Where there are spiritual insects, there are often some mutated spiritual plants. These spiritual plants often have some special effects that can improve the strength of knights. They are known as Seed of Providence. Taking the elixir made of this plant can enhance the level of fighting force of the knight.” Ye You said.

“Is that unexpectedly thriving wheat field in Black Wheat Village spiritual plants?” Cheng Zhou asked.

Ye You glanced at Cheng Zhou and said unhappily: “What are you thinking?! How can spiritual plants be so easy to obtain? That field of wheat in Black Wheat Village is just a little stronger than ordinary wheat. Even if there are spiritual insects, the probability of the Seed of Providence appearing is only one in twenty. If there are fairies, the possibility of the elixir appearing will be greater.”

Cheng Zhou frowned and asked: “Fairies?”

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and said: “It is possible for a spiritual insect to metamorphose into a lower-ranking fairy, a middle-ranking fairy, and a higher-ranking fairy. If it transformed into a fairy, its ability will be greatly upgraded.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “I get it now!”

“Master, are you from Black Wheat Village?” Cheng Zhou asked.

Ye You shook his head and said, “How can I be? A fallen demon has no hometown. I just wandered here.”

Cheng Zhou asked curiously: “What exactly is a fallen demon?”

Ye You eyed Cheng Zhou and said somewhat helplessly: “A fallen demon, in short, is a person with special abilities.”

Ye You retrieved a stone from the previously seized package, “This is an appraisal mana stone. Once a fallen demon uses his ability, he will be sensed by the mana stone.” Previously, Parsons used the appraisal mana stone and pursued him.

Cheng Zhou asked with some curiosity: “Special abilities. What are they specifically?”

Ye You narrowed his eyes and said: “There are too many. Some people can change the color of a wall in an instant.”

Cheng Zhou thought to himself: This is a perfect painter! I bet the paint is even all-natural and pollution-free.

“Some people can make stones and turn stones into powder.”

Cheng Zhou secretly said: A stonemason!

“Some people can condense toxins and kill people with ease.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” A poison master!

“There are also people with restorative abilities that can heal a person’s injuries.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Such a good miracle doctor potential! This world is really bizarre. There are all kinds of people.

Cheng Zhou asked enquiringly: “Before, that man who fought with you, he seemed to be able to exude light waves. Is that not a special ability?”

Ye You stared at Cheng Zhou speechlessly and said, “Where the hell did you come from? That is called fighting force.”

Cheng Zhou asked questioningly, “Fighting force? What’s that?”

Ye You peered at Cheng Zhou and said: “The children of nobles have been healthy since childhood. When they grow up, they can contract fairies, take elixirs, and cultivate fighting force. Fighting force is the light waves you saw earlier.”

Cheng Zhou followed up with another question: “Can the contracted spiritual insect be transferred?”

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and said, “The spiritual insect can recognize its owner twice. It can be transferred for the first time, but if it has been transferred before, it won’t work.”

Cheng Zhou asked probingly: “The one that the village head of Black Wheat Village owns had already been transferred once before?”

Ye You nodded and said: “It should be.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said in his heart: So that was it. No wonder the village head previously gestured to him with two fingers. He wanted to tell him that the rye worm had recognized the owner twice and could not be transferred anymore.

Cheng Zhou thought and asked: “Will there be a four-leaf clover elixir in this territory?”

Ye You gazed at Cheng Zhou and said, “Where there are spiritual insects, there is a possibility of producing an elixir. However, if a person takes the elixir from a four-leaf clover insect, it is easy to have diarrhea. I haven’t heard of any four-leaf clover insect elixir, but strictly speaking, there really is a possibility of a four-leaf clover elixir in this area.”

“Why?” Cheng Zhou asked curiously.

“This mountain is called Horned Boar Ridge. There are a lot of evolved horned boars here. If there is a four-leaf clover elixir here, it can be explained. The horned boars here have such a high evolution rate may be because they ate the four-leaf clover elixirs.”

Cheng Zhou glanced at Ye You and thought: Although it’s a shame to be a slave, it seems good to have such a master who is knowledgeable and tells him everything.

Cheng Zhou asked enquiringly, “Do you know how to cultivate fighting force?”

Ye You snorted lightly, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

Cheng Zhou stared at Ye You, who has his eyes closed, resting, and secretly thought: Why did he suddenly stop talking? Has he heard my inner thoughts again and found out he is an arrogant white prostitute (give resources for free)? Anyway, he is still a little arrogant!

“Do we need to find a place to rest? Should we go to Black Wheat Village?” Cheng Zhou asked.

Ye You shook his head and said: “No, let’s go to where I am living.”

Cheng Zhou said happily, “That’s fine.”

Cheng Zhou thought to himself: Maine’s living conditions are too poor. The place where Ye You live might be slightly better.
