Alex was stunned hearing those people’s anxious yelling.
Other than various secret manuals on cultivation techniques, there were even supreme Fairy Medicine, Nine Immortal Peaches, Eight-flavored Rehmannia Roots, Extreme Yang Bamboo Shoots, and Sun-severing Dragon Fruits. All of them were legendary sacred immortal fruits, rare in the world.
Alex initially wanted to escape right away after getting the relic.
However, he could not bear the temptation for a moment upon hearing about such amazing things now. He glanced sideways at them and asked, “Really?”
The great demons scrambled to assure him, saying that they were absolutely truthful and that lightning would strike them down if they ever lied.
Daya also jumped out and urged Alex, “Alex, hurry up and leave! The old geezer Miller will return soon! We’ll be done for, if we get stuck here!”
Afterward, she coldly snorted at the group of great demons. “You guys, say something more believable even if you want to deceive someone. You’ve been locked up here like this and raised for several millennia as livestock. Even the valuables on you have been taken away, so how can you possibly still possess any Fairy Medicine?”
That dragon shouted, “It’s real! It’s just that the Fairy Medicine is not on me right now, but I can go pluck it as long as I can get out! Believe me. I hail from Yellow Mountain. There’s a secret dragon realm on Yellow Mountain, which is the sanctuary of my tribe. Only I can find it.”
The other great demons also hurriedly started speaking. They claimed that they had Fairy Medicine under similar circumstances.
After all, they were indeed empty-handed now.
Alex and Daya looked at each other, slightly moved. After all, these demon beasts were truly not simple. Each one hailed from an exceptional background and was once a great demon with a lofty position in the world. Unfortunately, Ancestor Miller had captured them all together for unknown reasons, imprisoning them as livestock to provide only flesh for someone else. How miserable!
Alex frowned. He wanted to earn this windfall, but it was too difficult.
Finally, he decided to give up.
“Guys, I’d like to help you too but… Till next time!”
When he suddenly saw Alex and Daya, he froze for a moment before he asked, “Who are you people?”
Daya immediately wanted to attack him and was even prepared to sacrifice herself to let Alex leave alive. To her surprise, Alex suddenly bowed to Ancestor Miller and shouted, “Sir, you have to call the shots for us! Our Miller family is about to be annihilated!”
“Uh..?”
Daya froze for a moment. She blinked and then understood Alex’s intention at once. She also instantly bowed a little and forced out a few drops of tears, revealing sorrow.
Ancestor Miller probably only turned into such a state after Pindola hit his head. Then, as his eyes revealed a slight confusion as if he could not remember, he knocked his head again and asked, “Are you descendants of my Miller family?”
Alex answered, “Yes, sir. I am Alex Miller, and she is Daya Miller. She is my elder sister.”
Ancestor Miller snorted. “Garbage! The legacy of my Miller family is so glorious over ten millennia! Now someone is bullying us at our doorstep! How are you guys my descendants? How useless!”
