Xie Ning was in the nest, and through the protection of the brass door, he saw the struggle between Echidna and the other three demons.
Previously, he was very angry and fantasized about using a box cutter to stab all these evil things to death without leaving any alive. But it must be said that compared with Echidna's punishment method, the box cutter was too civilized and gentle.
They fought in a shocking manner, the aliens' limbs were entangled and twisted, their muscles were tangled, the snake demon savagely tore off half of the Chimera's face and head, broke off the Hydra's snake head, and grabbed the Sphinx's wings - bones and flesh flew everywhere, and a sea of blood surged, spilling all over the ground miserably.
Xie Ning stared blankly, his ears filled with the dying wails of the demon. He saw Echidna roaring out obscure words and ruthlessly expelling his own kind. The snake's tail bounced in the fishy pool of blood, and the plasma it spurted out was like rain, making the mostly collapsed underground palace even more eerie and terrifying.
After watching the three fools escape from the underground palace, Echidna returned to his lair. In his sight, Dolos was sitting on the ground in a daze, his eyes were red and his cheeks were pale.
He hurriedly shook off the blood on his body, and the scales on his body collided and rang together, leaving a red mark on the ground.
Then, the snake demon flew to Xie Ning's side, coiled into a ball, hugged the human in the middle, and anxiously checked if the other party was injured.
"Doros, please don't blame me," Echidna hugged him tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "It is hard to say whether it was my stupidity that led to your current situation. They begged me with the etiquette of guests and asked me to entertain them with a banquet, so I personally selected the bronze bull and prepared fine wine, but I didn't expect that they would sneak here and humiliate you."
Xie Ning lowered her head, looked at the album in her arms, then looked up at him.
People are really strange. Just now he was still thinking, even if he was surrounded and bullied by a few demons, what's there to cry about? I'm not a child anymore.
But at this moment, he was surrounded by Echidna, pressed against his chest, and listened to him whispering words of heartache—Xie Ning watched him go mad and violent the whole time, and could also smell the bitter smell of demon blood that permeated Echidna's body. He shivered with heat and cold, but he was not very afraid.
Xie Ning grabbed her album and tears suddenly flowed down.
"I'm so mad..." He clenched his teeth, took a long breath, and exhaled it tremblingly, "I'm really mad, mad."
Echidna was at a loss. He wanted to wipe away the tears on the boy's face, and when he stretched out his fingers, he saw that his fingertips were stained scarlet, and there were blood and flesh fragments solidified in his nails. He then bent his fingers and used his knuckles to clumsily wipe the corners of Xie Ning's eyes.
"This is my fault," the snake demon hissed, his voice choking with sobs, "Don't cry, Dolos. Today is the day when the people of Cilicia sacrifice to Apollo. According to tradition, they hold grand athletic competitions and perform singing and dancing. In the past, I always watched these people secretly. Now that you are here, I found the magic mirror given to me by the goddess of night, Nyx, so that you can also see all the lively things happening on earth. Today should have been a very happy day! Don't cry, your crying makes my heart ache."
