Gods: Start with Goblins

"I hope you can forgive me. Although these plants attacked us, it was only out of protective instinct and was not targeting us."

Ye Man nodded.

"I understand, Brother Luo. You seem to be particularly lenient towards these spiritual plants, as if you can't bear to hurt them."

Luo Dan just smiled.

"After all, if I were in their shoes, I would understand them, so this is probably why I don't want to kill them all."

Ye Man seemed to understand, but not quite. Sometimes she felt that this was unnecessary sympathy, and sometimes she admired Luo Dan very much.

It is very rare to be able to maintain a pure heart under multiple temptations. Besides, Ye Man is not a person who kills indiscriminately and does not like to kill innocent people. The two of them hit it off immediately and quickly passed these spiritual plants and walked forward.

The strength of the spiritual plants' fluctuations became stronger, as if they wanted to stop it, but because of the formation, they could not do anything in the end.

Finally, after walking a little further inside, we could already feel that we were getting closer and closer to the spiritual spring.

In addition to the familiar fluctuations of spiritual power, Luo Dan also felt another very strange aura.

If I had to describe it, it was a familiar yet disgusting smell.

"Brother Luo, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop for no reason?"

Luodan did not answer her immediately, but looked down at his feet. There were two plants under his feet that had been contaminated by demonic energy, and some demonic energy still remained on their leaves.

"Shhh."

Luo Dan turned around and made a gesture to her to keep quiet, his brows tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he cared a lot about this matter.

"Oh no, I sense the presence of demons. There are demons nearby. Be careful. Let's find a place to hide first."

Luo Dan's expression was so serious that Ye Man, who was originally immersed in the joy of finding the spiritual spring, couldn't help but become serious.

"Demons."

Ye Man murmured these two words softly, and a trace of fear flashed across her pretty face. She didn't know the demons, but she had almost no chance to fight against them before.

But based on her understanding of the demons, they were a group of people who were evil and brutal.

It’s not that she had really been involved with or fought with many demons, but the powerful elders in her family had described the evil of the demons to them since she was a child.

So when she heard about the demons, she panicked.

"How could the demons appear in the secret realm? How did they know about this place?"

Ye Man asked while thinking quickly in her mind.

Although this secret realm is supposed to be opened five months later, it is inevitable that people like her will be sent in early by the elders. Could it be that the demons are like this, and they were also let in by the demon high-level officials?

"I don't know either. Since we were able to find it, maybe some demons are lucky and it's not impossible that they found it. Anyway, the strength of these two people is far above ours. Let's restrain our aura and don't let them find us for the time being."

If possible, Luodan didn't want to fight the demons head-on. It was not a good thing for them with their current strength. At least a head-on fight would not be pleasing.

Ye Man also realized this, nodded obediently and followed him, and the two hid in a secluded place.

Afterwards, Luodan quietly stuck his head out and looked in that direction. After releasing his spiritual sense, he saw two demons not long after.

The demon stood on the grass, kicked a few vines nearby with an unhappy look on his face, and his voice was full of hostility.

"It's really unlucky that we have to handle these things and leave all the mess to you and me!"

The other demon next to him obviously didn't want to complain about such a topic here, so he just said a few words to smooth things over.

"Don't say that. The Demon Lord thinks highly of us, so he sent us here. Just do your best and don't make the Demon Lord unhappy."

"It would be fine if we were just here to hunt for treasure. I like treasures, but it's boring when I think about coming here on a mission!"

As he spoke, perhaps to vent his hatred, the demon actually used his spiritual power to destroy all the spiritual plants around him.

When he thought about the spiritual plants that they had carefully protected and had never dared to touch, and that the other party wanted to destroy them at will, Luo Dan couldn't help feeling a little depressed. They were indeed a bunch of rude things.

"Okay, put away your temper and don't forget our important things."

"The reason why we entered early is to seize the opportunity and destroy the secret realm. This is the most important thing. Then we can tamper with those artificially created opportunities and let those so-called righteous people practice and become demons. This is a big game played by the Demon Lord. You and I are his generals. Don't ruin his plan."

Although the other demon was somewhat unhappy, he calmed down a little. Obviously, he knew that this was a very important matter and did not dare to lose his temper.

"I know. We two brothers are going to have to contribute again. I think this spiritual spring is pretty good. Why not hide the evil spirit underneath? We must make all those righteous people become evil spirits. Otherwise, I won't be able to vent my anger!"

"Of course, this is what we should do. You don't have to tell us that we should do this too!"

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, their eyes full of malice.

After saying this, the demon who had been complaining threw a dark magic bead into the spiritual spring.

In just a moment, the spiritual spring, which was originally surging with spiritual power and seemed full of vitality, was contaminated by the evil spirit and turned into a pitch-black color.

The demon who was cleaning up the mess beside him sighed helplessly and waved his hand. The black spiritual spring that originally seemed to be surging seemed to be covered by an illusion and became as clear as before, as if everything just now was just their illusion.

Luo Dan didn't expect that they were so bold that they destroyed such a good spiritual spring.

When Ye Man heard this, she couldn't help but frown. She was very angry and lowered her voice to complain to Luo Dan who was standing beside her.

"The demons really have bad intentions. They are just garbage. They are disgusting to look at. Moreover, they polluted the spiritual spring. We found this place with great difficulty."

As she spoke, she subconsciously took half a step forward, but Ye Man didn't notice that there was a dead branch on the path where she moved forward.

That half step just happened to make her step on a dead branch, making a crackling sound.

Because of the slight noise, the two demons instantly realized that there were other people nearby and immediately became alert.

"Who? Who's hiding there? Get out here now!"

Naturally, both of them held their breath, not daring to notice that Luodan did not intend to confront them head-on now, otherwise it would be a very troublesome battle.

However, in Ye Man's opinion, the two of them would definitely die if they faced these two demons.

If the demons take it seriously, they will not be their match.

Although Ye Man had been praying in her heart that the demons would not discover them, the demons still quickly discovered their traces after a slight sense.

"Hmph, I found you, two little mice. You dare to hide right under our noses? You are simply overestimating yourselves!" As he said that, he waved his hand in the direction of Luodan and the other man. A huge spiritual power rushed towards them and directly shattered their hiding place. Fortunately, the two of them escaped in time, otherwise it would have been more than just a small trouble.

However, because the two of them jumped out, they were completely exposed to the demons.

The demon looked at them, especially when he saw that the two men's cultivation was not as good as theirs, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of malice and murderous intent.

"Heh, it seems you have heard what we said. In that case, just leave your heads here and be quiet. Maybe I can leave you with an intact body!"

After saying that, he released another skill, and a ball of fire shot towards them. Luodan was not stupid, so how could he just not move when someone told him not to?

He jumped away in an instant, taking Ye Man with him, helping her to jump away. At the same time, he cast his own magic circle and started fighting with these demons.

"It's actually a formation master, how interesting, but it's a pity that the formation master only plays a supporting role. It's really overestimating oneself to want to deal with us two brothers!"

"Humph, even if you two combined your levels, you still can't do anything to us. You actually dared to resist us. It seems like you are really courting death!"

"That little girl, I think you are quite pretty. If you are willing to obey us and practice the magic skills in the future, we can spare your life!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Man with a lustful look.

This made Ye Man feel humiliated and insulted. Her face turned red instantly and her eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Don't even think about it, you demon scum. I won't let you succeed even if I die!"

The two demons laughed, seemingly just finding it a little ridiculous.

"Oh, forget it. Even though a forced melon is not sweet, it doesn't matter to us. If you don't want to, just force it!"

When Ye Man heard this, she felt a chill running down her back. She could already sense that the other party was serious.

Luo Dan didn't expect that these two people would act as if he wasn't there. He clenched his fists and couldn't help but speak.

"Don't even think about touching her. If you want to touch her, you have to get past me first!"

The two then looked at Luo Dan, but at the beginning, they didn't actually take this man seriously.

After all, the third level of the Holy See, although at this kid’s age, his ability is already pretty good, he can even be considered a genius.

But, so what?

Even if he is a genius, he will eventually fall. After all, they are at the seventh and eighth levels of the Holy See, and their strength is far above this kid.

This kid was really unlucky to face them today.

"Boy, do you think you can do anything to us with your ability at the third level of the Holy Throne? Haha, so what if you are a genius? We love to destroy geniuses the most. It is really satisfying to see those of you who claim to be geniuses die in our hands one by one!"

Luodan didn't say anything, he just defended and attacked at the same time.

He kept his eyes on the two of them, trying to find any flaws.

Two other demons discovered that this boy was indeed quite capable. They had been attacking him for such a long time but had not been able to completely attack him. However, that was just a delay. Over time, he would eventually be defeated.

Seeing this, Ye Man decided not to be afraid and to fight them to the end no matter what.

The two sides started fighting, and the fierce fight destroyed all the nearby plants.

Many plants and animals sensed the fluctuations of spiritual power in this area, and those with low abilities fled immediately. No one dared to approach this area.

"Brother Luo, what should we do? We are no match for them. I feel like I can't hold on any longer!"

Luo Dan looked towards Ye Man with a strange look in his eyes. Up to now, he had only consumed his physical strength and nothing had happened. Similarly, he was also trying his best to find the flaws of the two demons.

"He is just a small formation master, whose strength is lower than ours. I didn't expect that we can't defeat him now. Boy, you are really capable and we look up to you. You are really something. However, we don't have the patience anymore. You'd better just die!"

As they spoke, the two demons spun around and flew into the air.

Afterwards, the two of them launched an attack together, with a powerful momentum pressing over.

"Be careful, Brother Luo!"

As Ye Man spoke, her slender body suddenly pounced forward and blocked the attack for him.

"what!"

But he fell heavily to the ground and spit out blood.

"Ye Man!"

Seeing her injured, Luo Dan was shocked that she was willing to pay such a huge price for him.

He originally wanted to keep his trump card, but seeing this, he didn't plan to hide it anymore.

"Stop it, I remember I told you before that if you dare to touch her, I will definitely not be polite to you!"

After he finished speaking, spiritual energy gathered around him, and the ground was instantly outlined with spiritual energy to form a formation, revealing a huge formation.

Seeing this, the two demons were stunned for a moment.

But soon, his disdainful and mocking attitude returned.

"Haha, you are really good at bragging. You are only on the third floor of the Holy Throne. Do you think you can do something to us on the seventh and eighth floors?"

Luodan didn't say anything more to them. In fact, the more arrogant these demons were, the better it was for him.

He did not release the spirit stone, but let it burn wildly in the space bag.

Spiritual energy gushed out from his side. If Ye Man didn't know that Luodan was the center of the spiritual energy, she would even think that it was the life force gushing out from a spiritual spring.

A hint of uneasiness appeared on the faces of the two demons.

Although they didn't know what secret method this kid used, the two of them knew that sometimes they still couldn't underestimate the enemy.

So the two of them immediately gathered their magic power and threw an attack at Luodan.

The corrupting power of the evil spirit itself caused all the surrounding flowers and plants to wither. The two attacks came towards Luo Danxi with devastating force.

That was because he burned 500 million spirit stones and added a 5-fold amplification to this attack, which was enough to deal with these two defenseless seventh and eighth level demons of the Holy Throne. (End of this chapter)
