Straightening his clothes, Xu Le stepped past the toad demon and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I, Xu Le, am truly fortunate to have witnessed Your Majesty's divine might!"
The scorpion demon was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, grabbed the wine cup on her stomach and drank it all in one gulp, quite satisfied with Xu Le's flattery.
While the scorpion demon was off guard, Xu Le secretly used his divine sense to probe its strength. Although it was quite powerful, it was surrounded by strange energy that Xu Le had never seen before, which should be the so-called demonic energy.
Although the scorpion demon is quite strong, it only possesses the power of a Refining God, and at the lowest level. Its strength is much greater than what is shown in the anime. However, if they were to fight, Xu Le could easily kill it.
Even so, the Scorpion Demon's strength is more than ten times greater than that shown in the anime. No wonder the Gate of All Realms said that these worlds can only be used as a reference and cannot be completely trusted. If Xu Le had thought that the Scorpion Demon's strength was only as shown in the anime when he was of average strength, he would have been in serious trouble.
Aside from the scorpion demon, the snake demon beside him was even stronger. Even with her three treasures, they were only of medium quality. Logically, it was impossible for him to be unable to kill her. Instead, he chose to slowly refine her with a gourd. There must be a secret behind this.
The scorpion demon, oblivious to the lady's expression and unaware that a green hat of forgiveness was already faintly appearing on his head, said to himself, "You humans are quite amusing in your speech, but what reason do you have to convince me not to eat you!"
As the scorpion demon spoke, the barbs behind her continued to extend, and in an instant, she arrived in front of Xu Le and stopped right in front of him.
The poisonous barbs gleamed coldly; if Xu Le advanced even a little further, he would be pierced through and decapitated.
"Your Majesty, why be in such a hurry? Why not listen to what he has to say?" the snake spirit advised kindly, secretly giving Xu Le a flirtatious wink.
Xu Le smiled calmly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. The entire stone chamber instantly turned colder, but it came and went quickly, returning to normal in an instant.
The scorpion demon shuddered. He sensed a life-threatening crisis lurking nearby, but it had vanished without a trace. Naturally, he wouldn't suspect the ordinary person in front of him, so he had no choice but to give up and retract the barb that was outstretched in the air. He asked irritably, "Tell me what you're capable of."
"Speak quickly! If you have any skills, I can get the King to reward you handsomely!" The snake spirit looked at the pretty boy Xu Le and felt the pleasant aura emanating from him. Her tail began to wriggle unconsciously, and a blush appeared on her face.
"I am knowledgeable in astronomy and geography! I can see the changes in people's hearts, I can deploy troops and arrange formations, I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my cooking skills are unparalleled in the world!" Xu Le said "proudly", seemingly a proud and arrogant master. In fact, after his Heavenly Dao consciousness analyzed a large number of books and infused these knowledge into his mind, he was already proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so what he said was not a lie.
The scorpion demon sneered, "Such arrogance! Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
After hearing Xu Le's boastful words, the snake spirit's eyes were filled with doubt, and her impression of Xu Le dropped considerably. She thought to herself: He's just a boastful scholar!
Xu Le smiled calmly, the killing intent in his eyes gradually dissipating. If he weren't so unfamiliar with the situation in this world, and if there weren't so many hidden figures in this place, it would be quite interesting if a powerful figure suddenly appeared...
Just before the scorpion demon asked the question, Xu Le had already decided that if the demon asked a question he didn't know the answer to, he would simply enslave these two clueless creatures and then carry out the rest of his plan.
The scorpion demon was smug, unaware that he had already walked a tightrope between life and death, and that the gates of the underworld were already half-open.
Xu Le took seven steps forward, shaking his head and deep in thought. Under the scorpion demon's amused gaze, Xu Le raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty is troubled by the gourd! And it's the gourd seeds!"
Snap!
The wine goblet in the scorpion demon's hand fell to the ground and shattered into more than a dozen pieces of varying sizes. The wine flowed onto the ground and was slowly absorbed by the earth.
The scorpion demon and the snake demon exchanged a glance, and the shock in their eyes was clearly visible. The scorpion demon quickly stood up and asked, "How did you know?"
They had just escaped their predicament, and they had only discovered the existence of the Calabash Brothers yesterday using the magic mirror. How could they not be shocked that this ordinary person could calculate the meaning of the word "Calabash"?
Xu Le chuckled and said, "I have some knowledge of deduction. Is this answer satisfactory, Your Majesty?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Although the scorpion demon had a bad temper, she was not stupid. She knew how precious such a capable person was, so she quickly asked someone to bring a seat for Xu Le to sit down.
After a round of toasts and pleasantries, Xu Le and the Scorpion Demon feigned politeness, cleverly avoiding his questions about his origins, thus creating a mysterious background for himself. While this didn't frighten the Scorpion Demon, it also made him wary of taking him lightly.
As for the snake spirit standing to the side, Xu Le completely ignored her, disregarding her mournful gaze, and got up to say goodbye, returning to the cave that the scorpion spirit had prepared for him.
Xu Le walked through the cave, led by the toad spirit, past one trap after another. After leaving the cave, he walked several hundred meters to a simple cave with a stone bed covered with some dry straw. Although the conditions were not good, Xu Le did not mind, after all, he was not here to enjoy himself.
The toad spirit hesitated, then looked at Xu Le, who had already begun meditating, sighed, and left dejectedly.
After the toad spirit left and he confirmed that there was no danger around, Xu Le used the magic of the sheep talisman to protect his soul and began to travel around the world to explore this mountain forest.
His soul wandered above the azure sky. The seemingly dangerous gale was easily neutralized under the protection of the sheep talisman. After flying for a while, Xu Le saw a house built on the edge of a cliff, and an old man was watering a gourd vine with a bucket.
The seven gourds shook incessantly, cheerfully calling out, "Grandpa!"

Chapter 151: Testing the Waters
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Xu Le floated in the air, quietly watching the seven magical gourds swaying on the vines, but he did not reach out to pick them, because according to his guess, there was likely a powerful force behind this.
Xu Le slowly floated over and quietly came to the old man behind him, who was the most mysterious figure in the animated film.
In the first episode, the pangolin broke through a cave, and the eerie wind blowing out of the cave froze all the birds in the sky into ice blocks in an instant. At this moment, the old man was standing at the cave's vent and was completely unharmed.
In the final episode, the old man said to the snake demon, "You can forget about refining the Seven Star Pill. These seven children have been tormented by you and are now divided. How can they ever be brought together again?"
Then the old man took out the seven-colored lotus seedpod. The problem was that when the mountain god gave the old man the lotus seedpod, he didn't tell him how to use it, but the old man used it very skillfully!
In addition, he faced multiple life-threatening crises in the animation but was not seriously injured. He also possesses superhuman strength and reaction speed. It should be noted that his character is just an ordinary old man in his 70s, not a martial arts practitioner.
Therefore, it can be concluded that this seemingly ordinary old man must be hiding many secrets.
Xu Le's soul slowly floated behind him, an invisible and intangible divine sense attempting to probe his physical condition.
Bang!
Xu Le's divine sense collided with the invisible barrier. Although he knew the barrier wasn't very strong and he could force his way through it, his intuition told him that if he continued to investigate, there would inevitably be a great crisis.
A golden light flashed in Xu Le's eyes, spreading to the area around his pupils. The world in his eyes changed, and everything became blurred. Blue light filled his vision. A sparrow flying through the air became transparent, and its complex and delicate internal organs could be clearly seen. Despite its small size, it had complete internal organs.
At this moment, a faint light, like that of a firefly, flickered in the center of its slender body, appearing and disappearing in the distance. The seven gourds on the gourd vine were like giant lanterns, their light not only flashing within them but also spreading outwards, illuminating an area of hundreds of meters.
The Eye of Heaven!
