Chapter 1172: Keep Going
He had been sitting on the ground for nearly an hour, his eyes radiating a strange light, and it was obvious that he had a comprehensive understanding of the answer to Xiao Xiaotian's request.
"Hehe, that's what happened, it turns out that the answer is myself, people, actually people. I didn't expect that I would be smarter than a corpse, and I was confused for a while!"
Seeing the other party's appearance, the Blade Demon General couldn't help but say: "People's minds will always be restricted and imprisoned by themselves, and the original obvious truth will also be confused and even lose themselves. If it weren't for us, I don't know how long you'd be here. Okay now, you've found what Xiao Xiaotian wanted, and now you can leave here with us, right?"
"No, not yet, Xiao Xiaotian didn't come, and I won't go anywhere. You're looking for the Demon Destroyer, he's somewhere below this cave, because he can pour the sound directly into my ears without using any magic, which means he's pretty close to here. With your eyesight, if you try a little harder, you should be rewarded!"
After speaking, the corpse of Yubi had already slightly turned his eyes on the matter, meditating and spitting. Over the years, he didn't eat or drink, and lived entirely on the demonic energy in the Xuanji Cave, and now it was time for him to eat and eat.
"You don't have to stay here any longer, Xiao Xiaotian won't come. ”
Hao Bi Corpse said lightly: "Why, in your opinion, with my wisdom, I can't solve this mystery even after spending my whole life?"
"No, I didn't mean that. The reason he came was not because he didn't want to come, but because he couldn't. Because now he has fallen into the netherworld and has become a shadow under the king of Hades. ”
The corpse's eyes suddenly opened, and the look of consternation on his face could be faintly visible even in the dim space.
"What? You said he was dead?"
The Demon Emperor smiled faintly, then raised his hand and touched the tip of his tall nose, and then said: "Speaking of which, his death has something to do with me, if it weren't for the strength of the other four masters to deal with me, and the use of forbidden techniques to defeat him, maybe you would have a chance to see each other again." ”
Extravagant Corpse smiled bitterly: "But he couldn't have imagined that the killing move he had exchanged for his life at the beginning would actually be helpless against you." Demon Emperor, your strength is really a little scary!"
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "I'm not too young, if it weren't for my heir's use of thaumaturgy, and only relying on the wisp of residual thoughts I left in the world at the beginning, so that I would be reincarnated and resurrected again, and I would have this dialogue with today." ”
"There are arrangements in the dark, and it seems that it is no accident that you and I meet. ”
The Demon Emperor nodded and said, "That's right, this is the will of the heavens. He asked me to come here and get you out of here. After all, if a peerless master like you wastes half of your life on such boring things, you can't help but be too sorry for the power that Providence has given you!"
A greedy glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the corpse, and then sneered: "So, there are fun things to do in the world?" "I won't tell you, now there is a life-and-death competition between the two worlds of humans and demons outside, and the winning side has the absolute right to speak, while the loser will be slumped and even become the slave of the other party." If you can get the support of you on the battlefield, you will definitely be strengthened, and your strength and momentum will be unprecedentedly high. How about it, are you willing to dedicate your strength to revive the Demon Realm?
The corpse waved his hand and said: "Don't tell me those big truths, I don't help anyone, I just make do with the excitement like thunder." But when you say that, there seems to be a lot of interest outside, so if that's the case, I'll go first. ”
Without waiting for the Demon Emperor to speak, a narrow crack suddenly slowly cracked above the heads of the three of them, and a large amount of gravel and gravel fell from the top, dyeing the ground gray and white from time to time.
"Haha, the mystery has been solved, and the guise of this mysterious cave can disappear completely. I hope to see you in the world in the future, goodbye!"
As soon as the words fell, the corpse of Haobi turned out to be a black wind, and jumped into the air with a breath, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. And with the appearance of that crack, a rare sunlight appeared in the middle of the originally dark Xuanji Cave, and illuminated everything around it clearly.
"What, I thought this Xuanji Cave could be so big, it turned out to be so in a little projectile land!"
It is said that the land of projectiles is to lift this mysterious hole. At first glance, the place where they were was was nothing more than a labyrinth with a radius of less than an acre. As the so-called ignorance of Lushan, it is only because of being in this mountain. The two of them, who had been swept around by the corpse of Lubi before, now looked at the tightly arranged, but really limited area of the staggered passages as a bystander, and immediately there were aliens in front of them, and they were quite awakened. As the scope continued to increase, the two of them found an inconspicuous but dilapidated small door with a dull and ancient atmosphere under a stone root near the center, which may be the entrance to the real Xuanji Gate. When he arrived, the Demon Emperor reached out and was about to open the small door, but all movements stopped abruptly at this time.
"The dignified corpse can only be used as a watchdog, placed in this mysterious palace, which immortal master is there?"
As soon as the wooden door opened, a scorching wave of heat hit him, and even the Demon Emperor and the Blade Demon General, who were demons, couldn't bear it, and a look of boredom appeared on their faces. But even so, the matter has come to this point, and the two have no way back but to continue to move forward. Looking ahead, they were speechless by the sight.
"This ...... What is this, the Demon Lord is hiding in this dark ghost place, is it just to study these things?"
I saw that in the huge open space, some wooden dolls were evenly placed. Judging by the dust on their bodies, it seems that they have been left unused for a long time. However, judging from the workmanship and completion of the key parts in the process, the craftsmanship of the manufacturer has reached the pinnacle of the world, and it is too difficult and almost impossible to find a craftsman who can match it. Earlier, the Demon Emperor had heard that the Demon Lord's research on puppets had reached the realm of transformation, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed not false.
"Depending on the ability of the root puppet and the different manufacturing processes, the time to make a puppet usually varies from a month to several years. There were at least hundreds of puppets here, so he hadn't spent most of his time on them. I can't believe that he is alone to complete such a delicate and heavy work, is his will iron?"
Facing the sigh of the blade demon general, the Demon Emperor immediately said: "Normal people have independent thinking, and the reason why everyone's behavior and pursuit are different is because of the difference in personal heart. Some like to live a life that is exciting, so they go to be killers. Some people like a quiet and quiet life, so they find a piece of farmland and start cultivating crops. The Demon Exorcist is withdrawn by nature and rarely interacts with people. In his opinion, these lifeless puppets may be his best spiritual sustenance and companions! However, his purpose of creating such a considerable 'puppet army' by himself is not so simple. ”
After listening to the Demon Emperor's analysis, the Blade Demon General couldn't help but say: "Then according to what the Demon Emperor said, what kind of conspiracy does he have?" After all, he secretly colluded with the masters of the human world, and no one knew what he wanted to do, could it be that his goal was not just to disrupt the Demon Realm's great plan, but to ......?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the Demon Emperor's body, and the latter immediately understood, so he said: "It's still a little too early to say this, although I don't only know his thoughts, but over the years, the demons who can be promoted to the level of the Demon Lord are all elite leaders in a million, and during this period, the old Demon Lord will definitely consider all aspects of a person in the promotion process, including loyalty to himself, and then go through layers of screening to make him satisfied." So in my opinion, it is unlikely that the Demon Lord will rebel, and he may have a last resort. ”
Faced with the Demon Emperor's statement, the Blade Demon General couldn't agree, but because of the identity of the other party, he could only choose to remain silent. There was still a long way to go, so in order to save time, they decided to walk through the dolls and get a closer look at the refined puppets.
Somehow, as they went deeper, the two were shocked to find that the place was much larger than they had originally thought, and that the total number of puppets had jumped to thousands. And the farther you go, the more complicated the process of making the doll becomes, and the more similar the appearance is to a normal demon. By the last two rows, the faces of the puppets had been glued to a magical material that resembled skin, and they were amazed by the silky smoothness of reaching out to them.
"Demon Emperor, as far as you can see, what is it on the bodies of these puppets, is it pigskin?"
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said: "Although the pigskin is soft, it is extremely difficult to preserve it for a long time, these puppets have been left for so long, but they are still as clean as new, and they must not be made of pigskin." ”
The Demon Emperor stepped forward and sniffed vigorously a few times, his brows furrowed. The Blade Demon General saw the strangeness on the other party's face, and couldn't help but ask again, "What, is there anything wrong?"
"It's actually human skin!"
Although the Demon Emperor's tone was shocked, the horror on the face of the Blade Demon General was even more exaggerated, and his jaw almost dropped.
"What, it's a human skin, not a demon skin?"
The Demon Emperor nodded, "I'm sure these are human skins. After death, humans will emit a unique odor, while demons will only have a faint aroma of grass, and the two are very different and impossible to confuse. ”
"Then it's strange, why are there human things in the good demon world, it doesn't make sense!"
As he spoke, the Blade Demon General took a step back inadvertently, only to hear a "click" under his feet, as if triggering something, and then the dim underground chamber became brightly lit in the middle.
"Oh no, there's danger here, get out of here!"
