In the legends of the Ming Empire, there are not a few related to fox demons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Dior dared to bluntly say that Su Xiang's destination was related to the fox demon, but it was just a bluff. She didn't have any reason to judge like this, but looking at Su Xiang's expression, she wasn't wrong. The resurrected 'Zhu Xia' and the fox demon, and the incident of the rain sword, these are inseparable from Zhu Yuanfang, Dio asked Liao Xueqing and Zi Buyu to contact the emperor, but until now there has been no news back.

"I can see it in front, that building," Su Xiang looked at the tall building with the "Tushan" plaque hanging in front of him, "As you think, the place I am coming to is the famous monster gathering place in Nanjing." However, I'm not here with a revenge mentality or anything like that, if you want to compete with real "monsters", the little girl can help you out. ”

"Tell me about it," Dior said, smoking a cigarette and pacing deliberately slowly, "the more you know, the better." ”

"Actually, it's the first time I've come here," Su Xiang smiled playfully, "I've never seen the fox demon of the Tu Shan clan, I'm just a little scared, and I want to find some powerful people to accompany me." ”

Is that a lie or the truth? We'll soon find out.

Tushan Tower, the largest monster gathering place in Nanjing City of the Ming Empire, is also one of the monster settlements hand-picked by the emperor of the Ming Empire. The traffic here is very difficult, you have to walk for at least half an hour to get here, and it is very difficult to move horse-drawn carriages, horses and cars on the narrow streets. Among the three, only Su Xiang looked more like a monster, and Dioben waited for other monsters to come to find trouble, but in the end, he arrived at Tushan Tower all the way unharmed.

It's weird, Dior frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand how youkai could tell the difference between a human and a human, and she tried to use the breath of blood to tell. Although the composition of the blood is almost the same, it can still smell extremely subtle differences, and Dior closes his eyes slightly, this action is to allow himself to better judge the smell with his sense of smell. She could tell the difference between the smell of Su Xiang's blood and that of a nearby fox demon, and quickly came up with the result. The fox demon's body temperature was close to 40 degrees Celsius, which was too high compared to humans, while Su Xiang's body temperature was close to that of humans, at around 37 degrees Celsius.

And there are extremely subtle differences in smell, although Dio has not smelled the smell of the fox demon's blood, but even if she doesn't look at it, she can clearly distinguish some differences between Su Xiang and the orthodox fox demon. Then, it can be considered that Su Xiang did not lie in this matter. She turned to observe the temperature and smell of Yumijian and the little girl beside her, but frowned.

The body temperature of Yumi Jian and the little girl beside her is no different from that of a normal person, and even the smell of the blood of the two of them tends to be the same, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will recognize the two of them as the same person. This is unusual, and can only occur if there is a close blood relationship, such as an immediate family member within a generation, such as John and Ian. This does not happen even to Old York and Sophia, whose body temperature is slightly lower than Sophia's, because Old York is older and has a slower metabolism.

And there is a more subtle layer, which is individual differences.

"We're here," Su Xiang stopped in front of Tu Shan Tower, "Are you ready? This may be a once-in-a-lifetime challenge." ”

Yokai are not rulers, and at least half of them have no interest in human power and money, and the only thing they desire in their long lives is ups and downs and variables. As a result, they usually do not turn away any stupid human who comes to their own turf, and graciously grant them the right to challenge themselves.

Tushan Tower itself is the headquarters of a club that only youkai can join, and there is nothing special about it compared to a human institution. Most of the forms are omitted, there are no people who greet them, and the hall is full of round tables and yokai talking to each other or playing board games. Most of them didn't even look at anyone, and continued with what they were doing, and some of them looked up at Dior and the others, and buried their heads in disinterest. Dior looked in amazement at the big screen directly above the hall where the game screen was playing. That's right, it's a video game, and it's the first time I've seen it in this world.

On a round table, a white-haired woman with an appearance no different from a human looked at them, fixed her eyes on Su Xiang for a few seconds, and then strode in front of them.

"You're new here, aren't you?" she smiled softly, glancing at the four of them, "I'll see? vampires, half-demons, lillipurs, and... Huh, you're human?"

She looked at Yujian curiously, touched her chin and didn't care about Yumijian's stunned expression, and walked around her, didn't she still put her face close to her and shrugged her nose and sniffed something.

"It's really strange, there are still monsters in this world that I haven't seen before?" she said in surprise, "I'm interested, what's your name, are you interested in playing two?"

Yu Jianjian took half a step back without saying a word, and also looked at the black-haired girl. She looks a little older than Dior and doesn't look like a monster.

"Hehe, it looks like your friends are very shy. ”

She smiled and nodded, then opened her arms and said with the attitude of a master:

"Welcome to Tushan Tower, this is the territory of youkai, whether you are a half-demon or a foreign youkai, there is no difference here, you can use all the facilities here for free, if you are human, you need a simple initiation test to prove that you are qualified to compete with us. ”

"So what the hell is going on here?" Dior narrowed his eyes, "This... Fox Demon?"

"Ahra, is that visible?" the white-haired girl pursed her mouth, "Well, yes, you vampires are sensitive to temperature and blood, and I can't hide that." As for here, as you can see, any form of "game" can be used as a place, and there is also the top technology of the Ming Empire, which can allow you to experience unheard of "games"!"

"Unheard of game?!"

The ears on Su Xiang's head suddenly stood up.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot," the white-haired girl patted her head, stroked her long hair, and said, "Everyone calls me Ah Zi, and you call me the same." ”

"That's an interesting name," Dior turned his pipe in his hand and pointed it at her, "if I'm not mistaken, it's a name that appears in Sou Shen Ji." Even though it's only a few lines, I remember the name vividly. ”

"Ha, do you believe in myths and stories?" she chuckled, "do you know why there is only one word in a name? When I was born, most girls, whether they were ordinary people or princes and nobles, had no names, or even only called them by tribal names, it was really a stupid society, but you humans lived in that kind of society at that time. ”

"Is there anything between this?"

"Of course there is, because I forgot to tell you one thing," Ah Zi suddenly turned cold, "What I hate the most is self-righteous guys, especially those who speculate on other people's pasts without authorization, and proudly show off their guesses." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that," Dio laughed unceremoniously, "I've heard a rumor that a fox demon can turn a human into his own kindred, and the child born of a union with a human will also be a pure-bred fox demon." I wonder if this is a rumor?"

"It's an unpleasant smile," Zi waved his sleeve, "It's okay to tell you, there is indeed that kind of technique, and besides, you humans used to have it." ”

Did there ever be? Dao, magic and the like were real in this world? Dio shook his head, if it was in the past, then no one had that power in her hands now, and it didn't help her.

"I also have a question. Yu Jianjian suddenly spoke.

"Ahla, of course, as long as you are willing to play with me, you can tell you anything?" Ah Zi suddenly changed his face and enthusiastically pasted to the side of Yujian Jian.

"That sword, it's yours, right?" said Amami Sword's cold voice.

As soon as these words came out, Ah Zi's expression froze, and then the smile gradually faded, she took two steps back, and looked at Yujian coldly.

"That's right, it seems that you guys are also here for that thing, so that's easy to say," Ah Zi said with a sneer, "Let's just not talk nonsense and get straight to the point." ”

Dio touched his chin.

"It just so happens that there are three of you, so the three of you will have a game with me separately, and I will order the game method, and win two out of three battles, no problem, right?"

The three of them? Dio raised his eyebrows, and before he could see the sword speak, he immediately stepped forward.

"No problem, this game, we take it. Dio grinned.
