"Ginger...... Jiang Yao......"

Lu Xingyue was stunned, he stared at the black shadow in front of him, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly. But soon, the tremor intensified, and even the consternation in his eyes instantly turned into a monstrous anger.

"Gluttony!!!You, you dare to ——! Jiang Yao"

“…… Wait! Don't get excited!"

Mu Jianyun on the side seemed to sense something, and hurriedly took action to stop Lu Xingyue's rampage, and at this time, the red-haired man who was biting Jiang Yao's neck finally let go. He stretched out his hand to put down Jiang Yao in his arms, stood up staggeringly, and looked up at Lu Xingyue and the two in front of him.

"You, your face ......!" The moment he saw the face of the man in front of him, Lu Xingyue's anger suddenly added a trace of astonishment, only to see that reflected in his gold and silver eyes was the glutton's face full of cyan lines, but expressionless.

"It's ...... The poison of Qiqi!" Mu Jianyun looked at the gluttony with a complicated expression, and then moved his gaze to Jiang Yao on the ground, and found that the lines that originally permeated Jiang Yao's neck had gradually faded, and then he had an epiphany about the current situation.

"Did you suck the poison in Jiang Yao's body into your body?"

"Humph......"

Gluttony snorted softly, noncommittal. Seeing this, Lu Xingyue suddenly didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly rushed forward to help Jiang Yao, and found that the other party's chest was rising and falling slightly, and after being drained of the toxin, his face seemed to have improved a lot.

"He's still very weak, we have to take him for treatment as soon as possible. ”

Mu Jianyun followed forward to help Jiang Yao, looked up at the slightly tired gluttony in front of him, and said seriously:

"The poison of Qiqi is not trivial, even if you are also a fierce beast, you can't resist it so easily, come back to the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' with me! Leader Lu must have a way to cure you. ”

"Hmph, just take care of yourselves, I really don't pay attention to this bit of poison. Tao Tao glanced at Mu Jianyun and the others indifferently, and then turned around and looked at the county town of Xudu in the distance, which was surrounded by red light.

"It's almost midnight...... If you don't leave quickly, even you will be swept up in this 'Soul Sucking Circle'. ”

"Soul Sucking Array!?" Mu Jianyun was startled, and hurriedly followed the gluttonous gaze in the direction of the county seat, and his face suddenly changed.

"Someone is planning to activate the circle at zero o'clock and sacrifice the whole city. It's not something one or two of you can stop this. Gluttony said. "Haven't you cast the Divine Seal before? ”

"We have to quickly unite all the reinforcements that are coming to stop the magic circle from launching!" Mu Jianyun said through gritted teeth. "What about you, aren't you with us?"

"I still have something to do. "The gluttony didn't come back, and he didn't mean to move. "Get out of here. ”

"......" Mu Jianyun frowned, but after all, he didn't say anything, and Lu Xingyue on the side didn't hesitate, after setting up the unconscious Jiang Yao, the two of them hurriedly left in the direction of the outside of the city......

……

"Huh...... In the end, I still can't do it......"

A helpless sigh echoed in the heavy night, and he lowered his head, looked at the cyan lines spreading in his palm, and smiled softly and bitterly.

The distant town was gradually surrounded by the red light, and the whistling demon wind rolled up bursts of ghost crying, lingering in the ears of gluttony. In a trance, he seemed to remember the night he didn't want to think about for more than a hundred years. That bloody night when creatures fell like stars, not only brought him no freedom from now on, but also engraved a scar that could no longer be erased in the depths of his heart.

【…… Promise me that from now on...... No more cannibalism...... This is the last agreement between me and you......]

“…… I can keep the promise I made back then, but what about you......"

Gluttony murmured, and in addition to the gradually thick darkness in his red eyes, there was also a touch of desolation and sadness. He raised his head and looked out at the sky in front of him, which was dyed red by the light of the spell, and the complicated emotions that were surging in his eyes were finally suppressed by the cold, and finally returned to calm.

"Hmph, 'Shift the Enchantment'...... It seems that Tuber guy still did something to help. Gluttony looked at the translucent film of light that gradually gathered in the sky above Yudu, and muttered softly. "But with this kind of construction speed, I'm afraid I can't catch up at all. ”

Gluttony said, looking up and looking at the looming black shadows around the dark clouds. At the moment when the "Ghost Gate" was about to close, the concentration of those gathered "Missing Energy Bodies" also reached a peak at this last moment.

"At this point, there is only one way left......

"Boom-"

The ominous demon wind accompanied by the dark purple flames of the Dao Dao, and suddenly gushed out from the glutton's body! At the same time, a huge beast phantom also slowly appeared behind it, but with the appearance of the phantom, the cyan lines on the glutton's face also began to spread at an accelerated pace.

"After being poisoned by Qiqi, you still have to reluctantly use your demonic power, do you want to die?"

“…… It's you. Gluttony glanced up at the woman who appeared in front of him, and his face didn't show much surprise. "Heh, are you afraid that I will really eat your precious apprentice, so you rushed here?"

"There are five Chiyou souls gathered in his body, and with you now, you can't move him at all. The woman said coldly, slowly coming out of the shadows, revealing the face that originally belonged to the "white pheasant".

"Sure enough...... I'll just say that he has another soul in his body, it seems that you did it. ”

Gluttony stared at the "white pheasant" and sneered.

"If you let the people of the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' know that Lord Phoenix, the leader of the dignified 'Demon God Mansion', is secretly using humans to collect Chiyou souls, do you think the 'peace agreement' between the two demon clans can continue?"

“…… I don't need to explain so much to you, especially since now is not the time to talk nonsense. ”

"White Pheasant" said, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a huge black shadow flew down from the sky, flying in the direction of the capital city. And the black shadow was the young Teng Snake that had hatched from Jiang Yao's pocket earlier.

"I know you want to stop the activation of the soul sucking circle by eating that 'Thoughts Energy Body', but with your poisoned state, I'm afraid you can't protect yourself. "White Pheasant" looked at Tao Tao's face full of lines, and said calmly.

"Do you know why I deliberately stuffed Jiang Yao's 'Snake Egg' in the first place? In addition to protecting him, it is also to deal with the current situation. ”

"Roaring ——!"

As soon as the words fell, an earth-shattering roar accompanied by a multitude of thunder swept from the sky above the drunken capital! I saw that the huge Teng snake suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and in an instant, a violent storm mixed with strange thunder and light gushed out from its mouth and poured down towards the drunken capital below.

"Whoa—"

The dense torrential rain enveloped the earth in an instant, but in the raindrops, there was a trace of dark purple and scarlet electric light. Such an unexpected scene made the gluttonous eyes vaguely surprised, but it quickly turned away.

"Oh, I see...... It turned out to be a "mutant snake". ”

Gluttony stared at the huge shadow rushing in the sky above Yudu, and finally withdrew the demonic energy around him. And in this moment, the blood-red lines under the city of Xudu gradually faded under the baptism of thunder and lightning, and a crisis that was close at hand disappeared in just a few seconds.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......

The clock struck twelve at midnight to announce the end of the day, and as the storm subsided, the land was left with only the silence after the crisis. The people in the city of Xudu might not have imagined that just a few minutes ago, a bad luck could pass them.

"It is rumored that among the Teng Snake clan, there is a mutant that can copy the demonic power of any attribute and use it once. Gluttony looked at the young Teng snake that flew back to the "white pheasant" from the air and surrounded its side, and finally opened its mouth again.

"Did you deliberately let this 'Mutant Snake' hatch from Jiang Yao's side just to replicate the power of Chiyou in his body?"

"If you want to erode the 'Soul Sucking Array' at one time, you can't do it without a certain amount of domineering power. And the power of Chiyou in his body is the best solution. "White pheasant" said.

"I had already learned about this incident, so I infiltrated the "ghost market" to investigate. That 'Snake Egg' was also laid just in case, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy. ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, the reason why you deliberately sneaked into the 'ghost market' is probably not just for this matter, right?" gluttony stared at the eyes of the "white pheasant", and the cold light flowed in his pupils.

"The fifth Chiyou soul in Jiang Yao's body should have been sent to the door by you, right? I want to start to wonder if the Chiyou souls in his body before were also from your handwriting. ”

"What you think is your business. All I can say is that I will never do anything to hurt Jiang Yao. The "white pheasant" calmly looked back at the gluttonous gaze, and then looked at the western sky with some feeling.

"The troops of the Spirit Terrace are almost here, and I can't stay here any longer. ”

The "white pheasant" said, and jumped onto the body of the snake.

"As for the three-legged black, he is safe now. But if you see him next time, remember to let him be careful, he's already been targeted by 'some guys'. ”

"'Certain guys'...... Oh, you seem to know a lot of things. Gluttony stared at the "white pheasant" above and said meaningfully. "Then I'll ask you again, does this 'Soul Suppression Stone' and the Qiqi incident have anything to do with you?"

"Under no circumstances will I use such an evil thing as the 'Soul Suppressor Stone', nor will I harm innocent beings, I can assure you. The "white pheasant" sighed and shook his head slightly.

"And all of this I'm doing is trying to make up for the mistakes I've made, in a sense...... Maybe I'm no different from you. ”

"......" gluttony was silent, his face darkened in the shadows. He didn't speak again, but watched as the figures of the "white pheasant" and the snake rose higher and higher, and finally melted into the clouds and mist, and disappeared......

-----------------------------

Rolling dark clouds crushed the corner of the uninhabited wilderness, and the diffuse mist was gradually dispersed under the previous hurricane.

"The Soul Sucking Circle has actually been lifted...... Gluttony, gluttony, this shouldn't be your 'masterpiece', right?"

Qi Qi muttered to himself gloomily, and after a while, he finally withdrew his gaze from the red light and moved back to the pale cyan light film that surrounded him.

"'Hunt down the enchantment'? It seems that someone has reported to the God of Clarity before and wants to block us here...... Hey, is there any new instruction for that guy up there?"

Qi Qi turned his head and glanced at the 'puppet undead' beside him whose mask had been shattered, but saw that the other party was still sitting silently on the back of the 'Scourge', his empty brown pupils were emotionless, and he seemed to be indifferent to Qi Qi's inquiry.

"Cut, I almost forgot, this guy is just a puppet. Qi Qi pursed his lips, but suddenly seemed to notice something, and immediately turned his head vigilantly and cast his gaze behind him.

"Smack...... Bang ......

With the sound of footsteps, a pair of jewel-like blue eyes suddenly appeared in the shadows behind the rocks.

"You ......"

Qi Qi stared at the gray-haired figure that slowly came out of the darkness, his eyes narrowing slightly.

I saw that what appeared in front of Qi Qi was the long-missing half-demon - "None".
