Passing through the layers of water sleeves, a blue sword engraved with fish scale patterns was waved by an imposing young man in green, constantly resisting the snake-like attacks of the awl twisted into the front end of the water sleeves. The moon-like face of the young man in yellow who controls the colorful sleeves has a trace of sadness. From his lack of concentration, it is easy to see that this is not a life-or-death competition.
The boy in yellow suddenly jumped into the air lightly, turned around and transformed into a long dagger hidden in his water sleeves. When the young man in green also flew into the air, he tried to use his water sleeves as a cover and then used a dagger to carry out a real attack, but he was discovered by the other party. The young man in green suddenly changed direction. First he calmly pushed aside the sleeves that were trying to wrap around him. Then he suddenly accelerated twice and rushed to the young man in yellow. He put his sword horizontally and gently against his neck. .
Then he said expressionlessly: "You lose!"
Unexpectedly, the young man in yellow did not agree and asked: "Who said that?"
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It seems that I underestimated you!" The green-clothed boy frowned, then relaxed it quickly.
"Oh, stupid dragon, I accept it!" The boy in yellow sighed and said.
It turned out that while the boy in green was concentrating on attacking him, the boy in yellow had already changed the direction of the sleeves. The awl-like front end of the sleeves was waiting behind the boy in green, ready to stab him at any time.
"Why do you still call me stupid dragon?! I have a name!" the boy in green said displeasedly.
"Well, how can Qian Qi have the image of a stupid dragon?" The boy in yellow seemed to want to quarrel with him.
But the boy in green had no intention of arguing with him, and just said calmly: "Call me whatever you want!"
In a flash, it has been nearly half a month since Qianqi and Lingyu returned to Dongyao. Although the Amber Dragon King has sent people to inquire around the demon world, there is still no news about Qingyun. The two troubled teenagers stayed in the Amber Dragon Palace all day long, and they could only relieve their depression by practicing magic and martial arts every day.
On this day, the two of them had just competed in the lake bottom courtyard of the Amber Dragon Palace when Sanmu hurried to them. When he saw Qianqi, he saluted and said, "Young Master!"
Sanmu has recently been responsible for tracking down clues about Qingyun, so Qianqi seemed to see hope when he saw him taking the initiative to see her, and hurriedly asked, "Sanmu, how are you? Is there any news?"
"Yes! One of the villain's spies said that someone had seen Yasha in Miancheng recently." Sanmu responded.
"Are you sure it's Mian City?! Hasn't the city been abandoned for a long time?!" Qian Qi asked in disbelief.
He remembered that his father once told him that in the days of the first demon king Hu Li, the lord of Mian City betrayed the royal city and tried to unite with several nearby cities to become independent in the demon world. However, he was eventually captured by the royal city army led by Li. The city collapsed and gradually became deserted.
"In the past ten years, many poor people have moved back there, which has gradually become lively again." Sanmu explained.
"That's it! Lingyu, it seems we have to go to Miancheng right away!" Qianqi turned to Lingyu and said.
"Yeah!" Ling Yu nodded in response to him.
Although he tried his best to defeat the fire bird lava boy transformed by the magma monster that day, he still could not see his sister Xia Qiu for the last time. When Ouyang Xiaoleng told everyone that Xia Qiu was dead, he suddenly felt that his whole body was empty of. In the blink of an eye, the underground city of Chilemir, which he regarded as his hometown, was reduced to a dead city. Leng Ai and the others, who were once sympathizers with his relatives, were also brutally murdered. Xia Qiu was like the last sustenance in his heart, but he did not expect that this sustenance would also be destroyed. Seized by Qingyun's claws. He no longer wanted to sit back and wait for death in Dongyao, but he suffered from the lack of clues. Now when he heard the news from Sanmu, he couldn't help but want to go and find out, regardless of how sure he was.
After bidding farewell to the Amber Dragon King, Qianqi and Lingyu headed straight for Miancheng. Lingyu no longer had the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. He only wanted to travel day and night so that he could confirm the reliability of the news as soon as possible.
In Mian City, only some ruins of the former strong city walls are left. Only the city gate still stands there symbolically, which seems very ironic. The words "Mian City" on the wall gate have become blurred. Since Mian City was captured by Li, many residents in the city were worried that they would be regarded as part of the betrayal of the royal city, so they abandoned the city and fled. The entire city gradually declined and eventually became a hiding place for lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Until ten years ago, a group of wanderers discovered this ghost town. Although the houses here were dilapidated, they could at least provide shelter from wind and rain, so they decided to stay. Later, many poor people and homeless people moved in one after another, and Miancheng became lively again. But on the other hand, because the royal city had no time to take care of this long-abandoned city, some slave traders gathered here, forming a place similar to a slave black market.
Qianqi and Lingyu finally arrived at the gate of Miancheng. After calling away their demon horses, they entered the city. The place was far more lively than they had imagined. The streets were crowded with people, and there were many vendors selling strange and weird gadgets on both sides. Although it is not as prosperous as Dongyao, there is a cheerful atmosphere listening to the shouts of the vendors.
What surprised them was that there were even many things imported from the human world for sale here. Such as candied haws, small-faced figures, and colorful paper lanterns. Ling Yu had never seen these rare things before, so he couldn't help but look at them a few more times. After Qian Qi noticed them, he bought two bunches of candied haws and handed one to him.
Ling Yu took a bite and found that the candied haws was sour and sweet. It was refreshing and refreshing, so he asked Qian Qi, "What kind of strange thing is this? It's so delicious!"
"You haven't eaten it before! This is called candied haws. I ate it once when I went to the human world before, and I thought it was very delicious. I didn't expect that I could buy it here." After Qianqi finished speaking, he took a bite and felt that it was still the original juice. Original flavor.
"Are we just searching the streets aimlessly? Did Sanmu provide any clues?" Lingyu asked impatiently after walking for a while.
"I heard he said it should be related to the slave black market. Let's find out where the slave black market is?" Qianqi looked around and replied.
"Then how to find out?" Ling Yu continued to ask.
"It's easy to do things when you have money, no matter where you are!" Qian Qi looked proud. He was about to reach out to touch the money bag on his waist, but was bumped by someone. He touched it again and found the money bag. There is no trace. He quickly said to Ling Yu, "It's broken. Someone hit me just now and my wallet fell off!"
"Did you see what the person who hit you looks like?" Lingyu asked while looking back for the suspicious person.
"He's a kid, he's probably about this tall!" Qian Qi answered with gestures at his waist.
"It turned out to be a little thief. You are really stupid to say that you are a stupid dragon! What are you waiting for?! Let's chase him!" Ling Yu shook his head and rushed out first.
Qianqi followed closely behind, because the streets were so crowded that they had to fly into the air. All he saw in his dark head was a small figure wearing blue linen clothes, running forward flexibly dodging left and right at an extremely fast speed.
"Is that him?" Ling Yu pointed at the little figure and asked.
"That's right! It's bad luck for him to dare to steal my purse!" Qianqi sped up a few times and flew to the top of the child's head. He rushed down, reached out and picked him up, and then flew with him. Go to an open area and press his back against a wall.
He recognized the child as a cat demon at a glance. The cat ears on the top of his head were not hidden, and the cat's tail was exposed when he was nervous. No wonder he moved so quickly. Looking at his big watery eyes and his innocent look, I didn't expect that he turned out to be a thief.
"Hey, it turned out to be a cat thief!" Ling Yu also came to them and said.
Qianqi's money bag was still tightly clenched in the little cat demon's hand. He struggled angrily for a few times and started crying when he still couldn't break free from the hand that held him. His crying made Qian Qi panic and didn't know what to do.
"Don't be fooled by him. This is a common trick used by thieves. If you can't be tough, just be soft and pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy!" Ling Yu noticed Qian Qi's hesitation and reminded him.
"You still have experience!" Qianqi teased him, remembering that Wang Yue and Ling Yu met because he stole the money bag, and then turned to the little kitten demon and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to do this at such a young age?" A thief?"
"I... I want to save my sister!" The little cat demon saw that the two elder brothers in front of him did not look like bad people. He hesitated to answer, and then cried even harder.
"Save sister? You're lying so readily!" Lingyu said with a crooked mouth.
But Qianqi didn't think he was lying, and asked him: "Tell me what's going on? What happened to your sister?"
"My parents owed them a lot of money, so they captured my sister and sold her to a slave trader. I heard from other people that the slave trader specializes in selling the slaves he bought to a monster at a high price."
"Monster?" Qianqi asked confused.
"Yeah, he will rely on living slaves to increase his demon power." The little cat demon nodded vigorously and said.
"Another Red Ape Demon!" Qianqi said angrily.
"I stole the money just to buy it back for my sister, otherwise... or else my sister will die..." When he thought of being separated from his sister forever, the little cat demon burst into tears, his face blurred with snot and tears.
At this moment, Ling Yu also believed that he was not lying, so he asked Qian Qi: "What should I do?"
"Now that you've met him, just help him!" Qianqi responded, and then continued to ask the little cat demon, "What's your name? Where is your sister now?"
"My name is Yu Xiaoli. My sister is still locked up in the slave black market, but she will be sold to that monster soon!" The little cat demon stopped crying when he heard that they planned to help him, but he still sobbed. .
"The slave black market is exactly where we are going!" Lingyu nodded and said to himself.
"Child, please return the money bag to me first! Then lead the way for us. I want to see who is so lawless and dares to sell a living demon to a monster to practice martial arts!" Qianqi stretched out his hand to the little kitten demon. explain.
"Um!"
The little cat demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned the money bag, and then led them towards the slave black market.
