"That's all. Jue said very easily after destroying the demons around him.

Ao Ye didn't pay attention, he walked around and observed the corpses of the demons around him.

"That's a lot. ”

"This proves that we made the right decision, or that I made the right decision. Jue walked up to Ao Ye's side, and then kicked the corpse of the demon closest to Ao Ye. "The presence of these demons in large groups proves that their sociality has been formed. ”

"That means there's a powerful demon here, right?"

"That's right, if there is Tiannan, it can accelerate the formation of a demonic society, and if there is a society, there will definitely be Tiannan. And these demons should be located on the fringes of society. When they are persecuted, they leave the herd and then look for new land to survive. Since it was already social, the outliers would establish new races elsewhere, so there had to be a strong guy to form a cohesive force in the race, so ......"

"Will there be a guy like Tiannan among the outliers and demons?" Ao Ye walked down with Jue's meaning.

"It's not like, but it's bound to be Tiannan. Jue said, "People are forced out, and demons are no exception. ”

"Unbelievable, I didn't expect Tiannan's cause to be answered in such a way. Ao Ye exclaimed.

Jue was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Hmm, what are you talking about?

"Ah, the reason for Tiannan's trip has always been an unsolved secret. There is a clear gap between Tiannan and ordinary demons, and so far no one has found Tiannan's cubs, so there is a great deal of controversy about the definition of Tiannan in the academic community. ”

“...... I remember that there were books that recorded the ecology of demons before, but they have not been handed down?"

"No, there is no book on the ecology of demons in detail. Of course, the most reliable reference at present is the fragment of the Book of Beasts, which contains some descriptions of demons and evils. ”

"Aren't there any systematic books?...... Jue thought. He knew that the research of some existing things in later generations was mainly references, and things related to the safety of the nation, such as demons and evil spirits, should be fully studied.

Ao Ye looked at Jue's thinking and said, "The demon itself is very dangerous, so no one dares to risk their lives to observe each other. That's why there have been no books about demons. ”

Ao Ye's words reminded Jue of the hard life before. "Yes, it's good to be alive. ”

The Demon's intelligence is not high, but its rough skin and thick flesh and strong adaptability to combat make it very difficult, and it is not uncommon for a Demon to slaughter a city before. The high-level races are hard enough to deal with them, let alone other races.

Incidentally, the compilation process of the Book of Beasts is also one of the controversies in the academic community. ”

"Huh?"

"It is recorded that the book was written about 200 million years ago, at a time when demons were rampant and Atlantis was on the verge of extinction. It would have been difficult to write such a document about demons in such a turbulent time, so people have not understood how people wrote it at that time. However, the most powerful statement at the moment is the 'Ancient High Theory', that is, the people of the primeval era had a lot of powerful technologies, with which they could completely protect people and allow people to observe demons at that time, and the artifacts unearthed under the Divine World Tree also showed that there was indeed a situation in Atlantis where the rating of magic weapons was generally high. ”

On the way, Ao Ye told Jue about some current things. In the conversation, Ao Ye always felt that Jue didn't seem to be interested in the previous things, and even described some things as if he had experienced them himself. In addition, Jue himself has mastered the ancient spells and the production methods of high-level magic weapons, which makes Ao Ye very suspicious of Jue's true age.

Could it be that this guy is from the time of Atlantis?! But in that case, Jue will be at least 200 million years old...... The current limit lifespan of the dragon clan and the demon race is only 100 million years old, and although there are close to 200 million years old people in the god race, that kind of person only stays at the legendary level of the god race...... Jue, what the hell are you coming from?

However, as soon as he talked about the magic weapon, Ao Ye remembered.

"Jue, what were you doing when you saw me in the Hundred Soldiers Array before?"

"Huh, what?"

"It's not good for you to wander outside at night, I was on a routine patrol to participate in the security of the Hundred Soldiers, but you weren't familiar with Dragon City at the time, right? ”

"I was at the auction. ”

Ao Ye squinted his eyes when he heard this, because he knew what had happened in the auction at that time - the forbidden magic weapon was resold there, and the magic weapon was still missing.

"The auction...... You're not just there for the auction, are you?" asked Ao Ye.

After hearing this, Jue glanced at Ao Ye slightly. This question is too explicit to ask, and it directly exposes Ao Ye's purpose.

What should I do?

Ao Ye also noticed the changes in Jue. Although the method of asking is very clumsy, what Ao Ye wants is Jue's reaction - it is a manifestation of weakness.

"Celestial Sound told me about the auction, and I know about you. What I want is a clearer answer. ”

Ao Ye walked quickly to Jue and stopped him.

"If you waste time here, you might not be able to catch Tiannan. ”

"Even if I can do it without you, it's only a matter of time before we destroy Tiannan. ”

Jue saw that Ao Ye was determined and asked him to explain the cause and effect, so he sighed and bypassed Ao Ye and continued walking. He said: "I took the ritual object for auction. I came out of the seal and didn't have the currency of the current era on me, so I needed to get it quickly by other means. ”

"So what is the artifact, and what is the level?"

Jue's eyes began to avoid Ao Ye, and after a while, he said: "It's the magic weapon that made Ji Yun go berserk, and that magic weapon was made by me, but I didn't expect to be bought by her......"

Ao Ye knew about Ji Yun, and he had also heard about other people's analysis of the magic weapon in Ji Yun's hand. It was a magic weapon that had already been tried on, and behind its great power was at the cost of a high probability of rampage, and was often used as a death squad equipment in the primeval period.

"Why take out this dangerous thing and sell it?"

"The money comes quickly, that's all. Jue said, "And I also want to see if the research of the magic weapons of the Three Realms has improved in the years that I have been sealed. Because I saw Ao Li's spell before I entered Dragon City, it was so bad that I couldn't bear to look at it directly, and I couldn't help but want to ask why the level of spells had not advanced but regressed after so many years. ”

Ao Ye didn't care what Jue said, what he cared about was another thing - according to the person in charge of the auction, only a small part of the magic weapons brought by Jue were sold, and the remaining large amount of inventory was still there. But by the time the people arrived, everything in the warehouse was gone.

It was a very dangerous magic weapon, if it was gone, who would it go back to? Could it be that Jue had taken it away? Or was it someone who stole those things in the chaos at the time.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of auction will not be patronized by the royal races except those who are interested in magic weapons, and most of them are low-level races that need to be strengthened by external forces. If this kind of magic weapon fell into the hands of low-level species, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

"When I met you, the auction house happened to be inspected by Tianyin's people, and you came out of there, so I'm curious if you took what you were selling. ”

"You mean what's in stock? I was a merchant at the time, but I'm not a black-hearted merchant. I don't move what I sell, so I didn't take anything with me when I left. ”

Didn't take anything? That is, someone else stole the inventory at the time?...... That's not good, so you really can't rule out the possibility that the low-level species have obtained the magic weapon......

"But we didn't find any artifacts in the warehouse. ”

"Huh? ”

"No, there was no record of your artifact being sold. ”

After hearing this, Jue suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

“...... In other words, someone took advantage of the chaos to steal the magic weapon?"

"Quite possibly. ”

Jue frowned. He himself hated the lower ranks, especially the Terrans. If the low-level species really got Jue's equipment, then they might be able to do something out of the ordinary.

Wait! I made the magic weapon......

Jue suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen someone holding the magic weapon he made somewhere. At that time, it seemed that he was injured, and Ying Ning should be next to him, it was still night......

Jue thought hard, thinking that his meeting would probably help a lot. But Jue's memories were interrupted.

"The trap has a result. Ao Ye walked to the forest in front of him as if he sensed something.

Ao Ye's actions naturally couldn't be left alone, so he stopped thinking and walked over.

The trap already has results there. Many demons were pierced by steel needles that suddenly burst out of the ground, as if they had been tortured.

Ao Ye and Jue both looked at the demons who were pierced by steel needles.

"It's unbelievable that a single bottle of talisman can do this. Ao Ye exclaimed.

"Ah, if you learn well, you can too. Jue said flatly. Then he looked into the depths of the forest. "That Tiannan is looking for defectors, and it knows that sooner or later the defectors will reach his level, and he must eliminate potential threats. ”

Ao Ye raised his head a little when he listened, and then he put his hand on the minions on his waist, he looked at the forest and said, "It seems that the guy is here......"

Jue also felt the movement. "Are you attracted to me again?"

"Then you've brought something terrible here. ”

Ao Ye pulled out his minions, and the sound of crisp knife sharpening was so harsh and blood-gushing.

There were many sharp eyes looking at Jue and Ao Ye from the periphery of the forest, they were a group of beasts grinding their teeth and sucking blood.

"If you fail here, you're going to put the people in this area at risk. Ao Ye said vigilantly.

"Ah, that's pretty bad. Jue didn't think so. To him, the life of the Terran is not a life at all.

The demons in the depths of the forest are approaching step by step, and they can already be seen faintly.

"I can't imagine that one day I'll kill the enemy with you. Ao Ye said.

"Hmph, who's to say it's not. Jue said and drew his dagger.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

Finally, the demon side couldn't help it. With a roar, the demons rushed from all directions.

A large number of demons poured in from all directions, like a tidal wave.

"You brutes calm down first!" Jue said and cast a spell to surround Ao Ye with a circle of flames. "This thing can wipe out some unqualified guys. ”

"You're so strict. As he spoke, Ao Ye turned his body and directly beheaded one of the demons who hit the flame circle.

Jue used a spell to destroy another group of demons who rushed into the flame circle and said, "Normal, this itself is a world of the jungle. ”

Demons rushed in in large numbers, but Ao Ye and Jue were not ordinary people. Those demons who finally broke through the flame circle were finally eliminated by Jue and Ao Ye in turn.

Jue looked at Ao Ye, and he admired Ao Ye's strength from the bottom of his heart.

It was so calm, and he quickly slashed the demon with two blades, and even the sharp tip of the spear was difficult to pierce the fur like tissue paper in front of Ao Ye.

The visual impact of those tiger-type demons with the same physique as cattle when they broke through the flame ring was enough to make people fearful, but Ao Ye did not. He attacked the tigers who stood with flames and wind, and although his attack was not too eye-catching, it was so deadly and crisp. Just the basic skills of some martial arts practitioners can cause immeasurable damage to demons.

If this guy shows his real skills...... Do I have what it takes to fight it?

Jue looked at Ao Ye and thought so.

Although Jue had fought with Ao Ye when he fell off the cliff, he could feel that Ao Ye seemed to have retained his strength, after all, as a karmic dragon, he didn't even put a spell. And Jue can clearly feel that his strength is getting worse day by day, like magma bursting out of the earth's crust, and the heat is constantly dissipating.

This is what Jue wants, because if he becomes weaker, he will be more likely to be killed. But this also made Jue a little uneasy-if he didn't have the strength, then whose strength would the evil heaven in the demon evil rely on to suppress it? It's not that an evil heaven like Mu Yong doesn't know its power, after all, even the high-ranking dragon clan like Xia Ni is difficult to parry, let alone the ordinary royal race. A person like Xiang Ao Ye may have the ability to wipe out the evil heavens, but how many Ao Ye can there be in the world? Even if it is a rebellious monitor, it is not a long-term solution—the primary purpose of the rebellious watcher at the moment or in the eternal future is to monitor the every move of the rebels who have been sealed in the soul realm.

Speaking of the rebellious watcher, it seems that Xuan Ming has met me...... But why isn't she seen now?

Jue vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met Xuan Ming, but he couldn't remember what Xuan Ming said or did after meeting him—it was like a conversation in a dream.

"Hey!Jue!" Ao Ye's voice pulled Jue's thoughts back.

Jue's consciousness returned again, and what he saw was the corpses of demons everywhere.

"Did something happen?" Jue asked.

Ao Ye shook the bloodied knife in his hand, and then said, "It seems that a big guy is coming." ”

Jue listened and looked around. He originally thought that Tiannan was coming, but he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a few crazy demons.

"Hmph, this thing is more dangerous than Tiannan in some sense. ”

Those crazy demons rushed towards Ao Ye and Jue like mad dogs.

"I can't imagine that Nan would give such a face that day, it's unbelievable. As he spoke, Jue rushed into the demon's body with a jump, and then stabbed the demon's head directly with a dagger, and pierced the demon's brain stem with the impact.

Just when Jue had just solved a demon, another demon rushed directly over.

Hmph, come on.

Jue thought so, and then planned to pull out his dagger to fight it. But what Ling Jue didn't expect was that the demon who had just died lost the strength support of his head, causing the bones in his neck to squeeze each other, and finally the dagger was stuck and could not be pulled out.

It's over! I'm going to be bitten!

Thinking so, Jue's heart couldn't help but tighten.

The mad demon opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Jue. Jue's body was exposed to the demon's attack.

How could I have been killed by something as inferior as you!

Jue thought in his heart, so he planned to release the dagger and directly attack the demon with a spell. However, since the dagger failed to stab the main artery of the previous demon and shattered it, a large amount of blood accumulated in the demon's neck. And coupled with the mutual squeezing of the demonic neck bones, the pressure there was particularly great, and finally broke out at the moment Jue let go.

This sudden scene caught Jue off guard, he directly lost his balance, and this person was unsuspectingly exposed to the demon.

The demonic sharp fangs are very similar to the fangs used by Jue when he was still a silver-white plague. A dangerous and deadly aura spread through the demon's body.

Is...... A hundred secrets......
