Hearing his younger brother's words, Brown Bear Xiong Yuan raised the firewood in his hand doubtfully, "Hoooo~ (Duoduo, what are you talking about
)”
Xiong Duoduo wrinkled his nose and tried his best to take a sip of the cold air, confirming that he was not smelling wrong, there was indeed a strong smell of willow branches in the air, "Hu—(It smells like a willow demon.
)”
After Xiong Yuan heard his words, he became vigilant and tried to look around.
But the snow and rain fell, and they didn't find any suspicious monsters.
"Huh... (Is it an illusion
)" The smell of willow branches in the air gradually dissipated, Xiong Duoduo shook the semi-circular ears on his head, a little suspicious that the smell of the willow demon he had just smelled was his own delusion.
"Ow~ (Duoduo, let's pick up the firewood quickly, and then hide, the rain is so cold.
)" Seeing that there was no danger, Xiong Yuan, who was gradually feeling uneasy in the dark night, couldn't help but growl.
Xiong Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward—
"click", "click",
The sound of something shattering abruptly sounded behind him, accompanied by a painful roar from Lu Ziran behind him, Xiong Duoduo turned around in surprise and saw a blood-stained willow branch that had not retracted.
"Roar! (Sure enough, there are bad demons!)" Xiong Duoduo bared his fangs and threw away the firewood in his hand. The strength of the earth element in the late second-order stage was revealed, and he violently lifted the piece of land that Lu Ziran was lying on. Attack the willow demon.
"boom!"
The soil hit the rock wall and made a violent noise, but Xiong Duoduo didn't hit the "Willow Demon" who suddenly appeared and attacked Lu Ziran. Instead, he accidentally injured Lu Ziran, whose right leg bone was crushed by the Willow Demon.
Fortunately, he is now in the form of a lion demon, and his reaction and speed are much more agile than that of a humanoid, and he is more rough and fleshy, otherwise it would be impossible to survive this sudden attack.
who is it
Who attacked him suddenly
Was it the high-level transparent monster that was near Ruan Qiuqiu's cave before catching up
But he should have gotten rid of that monster already!
Because of the severe pain, Lu Ziran's expression was a little grim. He rolled forward twice and fled to Xiong Duoduo's feet with a lame leg.
Although Xiong Duoduo and Xiong Yuan didn't know what happened, since they had promised to protect Lu Ziran's safety for the medicinal herbs, the two upright Xiong Hanhan stood in front of him.
A gentle female voice came from the rock wall with not very good light, which seemed to be far away, but also seemed to be very close to them, "Don't be excited, Bear Clan, I have no ill will towards you."
The dust dissipated, a gentle soft wind blew past, and among the catkins scattered around, stood a soft and gentle little girl.
"call?"
Xiong Duoduo's eyes widened, looking at the little girl who was no more than eleven or twelve years old in front of her, she screamed in shock, "Ow~ (what's the matter with you little female demon? .
)”
The "little girl" still had a smile on her face, "I said, no ill will towards you."
Lu Ziran: "..." There is no ill will towards those two bears, could it be that he has ill intentions towards him
But he didn't know the monster in front of him.
No, not right.
The little girl who looked like a willow demon in front of her was not a complete demon. Although she had the form of a willow demon, the willow branch that just crushed his right leg bone clearly contained a lot of demonic energy.
This "little girl" was disguised by a high-level monster.
A quick judgment was made in his heart, and Lu Ziran's entire lion's mane was about to explode—
What sin did he do to meet two high-level monsters in one day
He has to flee quickly, flee back to the Wind Lion Tribe, and stay far away from the damned Flame Wolf Tribe.
"Don't be afraid."
The gentle child's voice sounded, and the "little girl" looked at Lu Ziran with a smile, as if she could see through all his thoughts. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and let out a small laugh, "I admit the wrong demon, and I have no ill intentions towards you."
Lu Ziran opened his eyes wide and saw the little girl in soft clothes he had never seen sitting on the rock wall like that, with the willow branches hovering above her head, blocking all the rain and snow falling from the sky.
She said slowly, "Little Lion, were you injured in the Yanlang tribe before
Answer me this question and I'll let you go. "
She must have been injured by Yuan Jue, and only those unique demonic energy remained in her body, which she admitted wrong.
Hearing her words, Lu Ziran's lion face was a little distorted. He thought that maybe the high-level monster in front of him happened to have some grudge against the transparent high-level monster near Ruan Qiuqiu's cave.
Although the demonic energy left by the transparent high-level monster in his body has been completely dissolved by him, it is estimated that there is still a little aura left, which is why he is attacked.
Lu Ziran should have been angry, but from the level of willow branches and demonic energy he had just attacked, he knew that the little girl who was disguised as a willow demon in front of him was around the fifth rank, and now he is far from her opponent.
Instead of fighting her in one breath and taking the lives of two bears who don't understand anything, it is better to surrender as soon as possible before her patience runs out, and there may be a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of this, Lu Ziran embarrassedly turned back into a human form and answered the little girl's question, "...Yes, senior, I was indeed injured near the Yanlang tribe."
"...You little lion is quite knowledgeable about current affairs."
Lu Ziran said that the senior made Qing Ruyi happy.
She didn't intend to take action against demons or people other than Yuan Jue and Ruan Qiuqiu, she didn't plan to continue to make things difficult for them, but she didn't plan to apologize for admitting the wrong demon, she just covered her mouth and smiled, "You guys The two bears are quite cute, goodbye."
After she finished speaking, the two thin legs under the cotton and linen skirt turned into willow branches and disappeared into the night.
"Senior, do you have a grudge against the monster near the Yanlang tribe?"
Lu Ziran asked her back a little unwillingly, but she didn't get any response, "Senior please help me to avenge me."
Lu Ziran clutched his injured right leg, nearly fainted from the pain, and slumped in the rain.
"Help me."
He gritted his teeth and said to Xiong Yuan, who had also changed back into a human form.
But Xiong Yuan, who was stupid, dumb and good at talking before, didn't help him up this time.
Lu Ziran raised his head in confusion and heard Xiong Yuan's very angry voice, "Lu Ziran, didn't you say that your injury was beaten by the former leader of the Yanlang tribe
How did it become a monster near the Yanlang tribe? "
Oops.
Only then did Lu Ziran realize that he had just accidentally said something.
Xiong Duoduo sat down next to him, and angrily patted Yuan Yoo's head, "The deal is cancelled, we won't protect you anymore."
Lu Ziran panicked, "Don't you want to change the herbs from the Wind Lion tribe
What about the wounded bears of your tribe? "
Xiong Duoduo sighed, took it out of his pocket, grabbed two leaves from a herb left by the big eagle before and stuffed it into his hand, "You're already injured like this, so I guess there's no excess. The herbs were given to us."
"You lied to us, we don't care, this herb is for you, brother, let's go to the elephant tribe and take a look."
Xiong Duoduo was a little uneasy about going to the Wind Lion Tribe, but now that he found out that Lu Ziran was really lying again, he didn't want to go even more.
It's true that they're not very smart, but they're not really stupid either.
Xiong Yuan was not dissatisfied with his younger brother's decision. After thinking about it, he kindly helped Lu Ziran to the bottom of the rock wall and set him on fire again.
The two bears ignored Lu Ziran's furious abuse and temptation, turned around and left neatly.
…
And Qing Ruyi, a middle-level fifth-order monster disguised as a little girl willow demon, also slowly supported the "umbrella" made of willow branches, and gradually rushed towards the Yanlang tribe.
The Lord was busy dealing with several monsters who disagreed with him becoming the new Demon King, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the hidden delicious food that he finally found after more than 20 years of searching.
"Qing Ruyi, go to the Yanlang tribe, monitor Yuanjue, and when the time is right, kill his little human wife and take him back to the abyss alive."
"Didn't you always want to become a pure-blooded demon, and still want to resurrect your dead human companion
It's very simple, when this plan is completed, I will make your wish come true. "
"Come here, I will give you a new body."
The words of the monster who was only one step away from the Demon King echoed in his ears, Qing Ruyi touched her smooth and young cheeks, but there was an inescapable sadness in her light brown eyes.
After more than 20 years, she finally changed from the irrational, terrifying and ugly monster to the one she first saw with him.
However, the human boy who met her in the cat tribe on the other side of the continent and was willing to feed demons with his body is no longer there.
It was she who killed him.
As a half-demon mixed with Liumu and a monster, in the first 20 years of her life, Qing Ruyi didn't even know that there was still the blood of dirty monsters hidden in her body.
When she came back to her senses, the demonic energy ran out of her body uncontrollably.
She began to become ugly little by little, and the killing intent in her body became stronger and stronger.
That person would endure severe pain with her, but he still smiled and said that her demonic energy was sweet.
However, she has become so ugly, and she can't maintain her human form gradually.
At the beginning, he was the same as usual, he had gradually lost control of her drinking blood, who wanted to kill, but she lost her mind and couldn't control her demonic energy.
Qing Ruyi can't remember what happened after that.
When she woke up, she was brought back to the abyss by the Lord.
The Lord did not eat her, but cultivated her with all his heart.
It's just that her talent is limited, and she has practiced for so many years, but it is only the strength of the fifth-order early stage.
Probably because she is the weakest and unable to help the Lord in the abyss, she was assigned to monitor.
The Lord is kind to her, no matter what, she must complete this task.
Although she knew that even if the lord became a demon king, it would not be possible to bring people back to life.
But so what, as long as this task is completed, she can be back with him as a demon again.
Although I'm sorry for Yuanjue, who is also a mixed race of demon and demon, but as long as her brother Mo can come back, she won't care how much innocent blood is on her hands.
Qing Ruyi, who looked like a little girl, gently hummed the song he liked to listen to before, and slowly paced towards the Yanlang tribe—
She has been waiting for more than 20 years, and she has enough patience.
