9 To the Demon Plains. (1/2)

”Brother Yang, thank you.”

While comforting Liang Xinyi, Liang Zhou turned his head to Li Yang, a grateful expression on his smile. Li Yang had not only saved both Liang Xinyi and Xiao Wei, but he had also pushed Liang Xinyi over to him, giving him the chance of comforting her.

It was just comforting her, but since she was in such a vulnerable state right now, it was very easy for this instant of comforting to be firmly imprinted in her mind. This would make it easier for Liang Zhou to grow closer to her, giving him a greater chance of having her become his wife.

”Don't mention it, we are companions after all.”

Li Yang shrugged his shoulder as he responded, pulling himself out of the half-drunk state he had just been in. He cast a last glance at his sword before sheathing it.

”So that was a plant type Demonic beast?”

Li Yang pointed at the spot where the Reed Vine had been as he spoke. This Reed Vine had been the first Demonic beast they had encountered, so he was rather curious about it.

”Indeed. Not only animals can become Demonic beasts, almost everything can become a Demonic beast if it manages to absorb enough Qi. Even the elements can grow into elementals.”

Liang Zhou had a serious expression as he spoke. Since almost everything could turn into a Demonic beast, it was incredibly hard to know which areas were safe. One could be drinking from a river in one moment, and in the next moment, the river could rise and swallow you.

”You have heard about how a person can unleash the power of their runes into the surrounding world after engraving it, right? If a person with a fire rune unleashes the power of his rune into his surroundings, he will spawn fire in his surroundings.”

Liang Zhou turned away from the river, turning his gaze to Li Yang as he spoke. Li Yang nodded at his words, these were all things that he had heard before.

”Most people have the same type of fire, but there are special exceptions. If a person manages to find an elemental that matches his rune, he can absorb it into his body, permanently changing the power of his element. My father once told me about one such elemental that would imbue a person's stone element with the burning heat of fire.”

Liang Zhou's eyes were alight with a burning desire as he spoke, his words greatly surprising Li Yang. There were such wonderful things in the world? Having such an elemental could easily give someone a massive advantage over others.

”Thank you Big Brother Zhou, Brother Yang. I'm sorry for making you save me.”
