Caught off guard, the seventh gourd brother was thrown into the alchemy furnace. Instantly, the lid was closed, imprisoning him and the other six gourd brothers inside.
The African Calabash Brothers stand out as an oddity among the six chubby, white Calabash Brothers.
"Click-click-click!"
The knuckles cracked. Although they were still in the raging fire, they couldn't be refined yet. So the six gourd brothers rushed up and gave the African chief a good beating, teaching him what it meant to respect his elder brother.
"Ahhhhh..."
Screams echoed continuously from the alchemy furnace, causing the demons to burst into laughter as they waited for the Seven Hearts Pill to be successfully refined.
Xu Le sat to the side, knowing that it was impossible to refine the Calabash Brothers at this time. He quietly waited for the Mountain God to make a move, or perhaps for that great god as well.
Inside the hall, all sorts of people were in different states of mind. The scorpion demon and the green snake demon were all smiles, but although the snake demon had a smile on her lips, the gloom in her eyes was still there.
The little monsters had no hope of obtaining the Seven-Heart Pill. Although they were envious, they wouldn't dare to dream of something so unattainable. Instead, they joined in the fun, cheering, "Burn! Burn! Burn!"
The old man's face was grim as he looked worriedly at the Calabash Brothers being burned in the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, the rope binding him was loosened. At this moment, no demon noticed this old man, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. After all, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't cause any trouble.
The old man touched his chest, feeling the warm breath. Thinking of the pangolin and the mountain god's plan he had mentioned, he calmed down and waited for the right opportunity.
Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly, and Xu Le slowly turned his gaze away, but a monster caught his attention.
It was a purple toad hiding among the monsters. It looked no different from any other, but upon closer inspection, one could see that it showed no emotional fluctuations, as if none of this could arouse its interest.
This is clearly inconsistent with its identity. Who is it? An ordinary toad spirit. Logically speaking, it should be cheering with the other little monsters at this time, but it is frighteningly calm, like an old man who has seen through everything.
At this moment, Xu Le suddenly thought of a poem, "..." (Due to censorship, this poem will not be published for now! I believe clever people will understand and smile.)
At this moment, Xu Le remembered that this toad spirit seemed to have survived from the first book to the second. What did this mean? It was a toad that could prolong its life. Even the snake spirit, scorpion spirit, and a group of minor monsters could not survive, but it was safe and sound and even went to find the green snake spirit.
Moreover, it seems that it first influenced the snake spirit, and then influenced the green snake spirit's actions with words. In this light, this guy may also be a hidden old thing.
Xu Le looked away. At this moment, the snake demon and scorpion demon were leading the charge, attracting the most attention, while he only needed to fish in troubled waters.
The screams grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely. Just as everyone was waiting for the Seven Hearts Pill to be successfully refined, a large amount of water vapor emerged from the furnace, continuously humidifying the air inside the cave.
"Oh no! These seven little children can actually withstand heavenly fire! What should we do?!"
The scorpion spirit howled angrily, pounding the stone table until it was reduced to dust.
"Heh heh, how could you possibly refine the Seven Hearts Pill if you've alienated the Calabash Brothers?" The old man sneered, breaking free of the tampered ropes. "Come, come, let me show you a treasure. I'll use this seven-colored lotus pod to unite the Calabash Brothers and destroy you monsters!"
The old man took out a seven-colored lotus seedpod from his pocket and threw it out. The seedpod grew rapidly in the wind, instantly reaching a size of several tens of centimeters. The seven holes in the center of the seedpod shimmered with the light of its own colors.
"Oh no, stop him quickly!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the snake spirit tried to take out her Ruyi to stop the lotus seedpod, but it was too late. The lotus seedpod had already floated onto the alchemy furnace, and the seven lotus seeds descended, piercing through the furnace and rushing inside.
Xu Le watched all the changes with a cold smile. Looking at the toad demon's smiling face and the approaching, heavy aura, he muttered softly, "You have to shout it out before unleashing your ultimate attack? Do you think this is a turn-based game? Luckily, I was prepared. I wonder if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, otherwise…"
After the seven colorful lotus seeds flew in, the alchemy furnace instantly fell silent, like the calm before a storm, with an unusually heavy atmosphere.

After a while, there was no movement inside the furnace. Seven small holes were punched through the furnace lid, and the rising heavenly fire spewed out through the holes, but it seemed to be restrained by some force and did not rush into the cave.
The old man stared wide-eyed at the unresponsive alchemy furnace, muttering to himself, "Why isn't it reacting? Could it be...?"
Snap!
The scorpion demon's tail hook lashed out in the air like an iron whip, striking the old man hard and sending him flying dozens of meters into the stone wall. A large number of small stones rolled down and buried him.
The scorpion demon's eyes were bloodthirsty. She spat on the ground with a "pui" sound and said disdainfully, "You scum, how dare you scare this king!"
Xu Le sensed that the old man's life force had completely disappeared, and it seemed that he was truly dead.
Was my guess wrong? Or is it that thing between his eyebrows simply won't make a move?
Xu Le turned his gaze to the purple toad spirit and saw a hint of surprise in its eyes. Things had developed beyond its plans, and it no longer had the wisdom it had before.
However, the stares may have made the toad spirit uncomfortable, as it suddenly turned its head away. All that could be seen was that all sorts of monsters, big and small, were staring at the alchemy furnace, including the ones at the head of the table.
The toad spirit casually turned its eyes, but the instant it turned its head, its face darkened, and it stared gloomily at the blazing alchemy furnace.
Rumble!
Outside the mountain palace, the earth shook violently, causing the demons inside to stagger and fall. Cracks of all sizes appeared on the mountain walls above their heads, and dust began to fall in a soft rustling sound.
The scorpion demon took alchemy extremely seriously. Since she had thoroughly inspected the inside and outside of the mountain, the sudden earthquake must have been caused by someone else.
The stone walls of the cave began to crack, and the mountain peak on which it was located slowly collapsed. When the scorpion demon saw that something was wrong, she immediately used her tail hook to grab the alchemy furnace and rushed out. The green snake demon's eyes were cold and unsettling. She was unsure whether this was a real enemy or a good show orchestrated by the scorpion demon and the snake demon. However, she could not stay in the cave any longer, so she transformed into a demonic wind and followed closely behind the scorpion demon.
Since she didn't know the enemy's plan, she would use force to overcome their cleverness. With her treasure pouch, she was naturally not afraid of the snake demon and scorpion demon joining forces against her.
Following Xu Le's instructions, the snake spirit stirred up a demonic wind and took Xu Le away as well. Seeing that their king had run away, the other demons naturally did not stay to fight to the death, and the demons, birds and beasts scattered.
At this moment, the toad demons resented their parents for not giving them one more leg, but how could they know the centipede demon's pain: "You all want more legs, but I want fewer legs."
"Don't push me!"
"Run! If you don't run, we're all doomed!"
