Chapter 418: Chapter 410: Mysterious Powerhouse_1

Qin Niu did feel a certain interest in that Rat Demon.

Having pets isn’t always about quantity.

But pets that reach the level of demon beasts are always beneficial in greater numbers.

These demon beasts and insect spirits that survived all shared a common trait, and that was caution.

Although they possessed great strength, they were extremely cautious when they traveled.

Take the Scorpion Spirit for example, it never came out during the day, thus reducing the risk of being preyed upon by demon birds.

The survival rules of these demon beasts held many lessons worth learning for him.

The Fire Phoenix was undoubtedly the strongest, and the Rat Demon had eaten many of its kind, causing it to hate the Rat Demon to the bone. However, after discovering that the poisonous gas in the Poisonous Miasma Forest was extremely dangerous, it no longer dared to venture there.

This was a form of concession and endurance that was also the way of survival.

Human powerhouses were sometimes hot-tempered and arrogantly prideful. Faced with such situations, many would directly storm the doors of their enemies and fight a bloody battle.

From the survival rules of the Rat Demon, Qin Niu learned the importance of having a den.

When it comes to strength, the Rat Demon might not be as powerful as the Fire Phoenix.

But it had the Poisonous Miasma Forest as a natural fortress. As long as it hid inside, the Fire Phoenix, no matter how powerful, could do nothing to it.

Qin Niu had this idea quite early on.

He too wanted to build a den he could use as a refuge. No matter how powerful the enemy, once they entered his den, he would have the ability to kill them.

Now, he should be able to realize this idea initially.

With the Fire Phoenix and thirteen Demon Birds, plus a heap of insects and the Ancient Banyan Tree, if an enemy entered this mountain range, their life would be in Qin Niu’s hands.

He was quite interested in that Rat Demon and Scorpion Spirit.

Once he grew a bit stronger and found the opportunity to subdue these two demons, he would immediately have two more dependable subordinates.

The Rat Demon was adept at burrowing.

This ability was extremely practical.

Facing formidable enemies, even if he couldn’t outfight them, just by hiding underground, he could instantly escape with his life.

Not to mention the Scorpion Spirit.

Scorpions belong to the insect category, and Qin Niu was an Insect Master.

His current most formidable insects were the Green Demon Bee and the Shadow Fire Bee, but neither had reached the level of demon insects.

If he could subdue that Scorpion Spirit, he would immediately have a demon insect in his possession.

This was incredibly tempting.

But now, he had no way to subdue them. His spiritual power was still not particularly strong.

Even though he had formed an equal contract with the Fire Phoenix, the strain on his spiritual power was still very serious because the Fire Phoenix’s grade was too high.

If Qin Niu wanted to take on new pets, he would probably have to wait until his cultivation advanced to a higher realm and his spiritual power further increased.

“By the way, Master, do you live in a village outside this mountain range?”

The Fire Phoenix seemed to have thought of something and asked Qin Niu.

“Yes, I live in Shuangfeng Village.”

“There should be a very powerful human powerhouse living in a village outside the mountain range. That person’s strength should be very great.”

The Fire Phoenix wouldn’t talk nonsense.

If it said so, there must be some basis for it.

“The strongest person in our village should be me; even if we broaden the scope, the neighboring villages don’t have especially strong individuals either. Could it be that the Yan Family has a hidden master?”

Qin Niu thought about it and then dismissed this guess.

Although the Yan Family had some heritage, its history of wealth creation was short, only about three to four hundred years.

In such a time span, it was possible to cultivate a formidable powerhouse, but the chances were extremely slim.

Every major human family prioritized family interests first.

Those prominent families might hide one or two top experts, but they would definitely not sacrifice family interests to hide their strong members.
