Snow Thousand Shadows, a young girl from the Divine Domain, is on her way to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yesterday, Dr. Bud sent back a message to the headquarters of the First Legion of the Divine Domain, saying that "traces of suspected holy weapons have been found".

This is enough to shock and excite the entire divine domain, after all, it has been many years since the holy artifact has been discovered. Those similar messages that come back from time to time, and finally pass verification, are not true.

Of course, it can be frustrating to look forward to it again and again, but it will not discourage everyone's enthusiasm, because the people of the Divine Domain exist for this reason.

Therefore, after the commander of the First Legion reported to the head overnight, he sent Xue Qianying to investigate.

Through a conversation with Dr. Bumad at the research institute, Xue Qianying learned that the discovery may be the Sacred Covenant of Light, the magic staff, located near Mount Xialan, just outside the imperial capital.

The closer she got, the clearer she felt was that there was a jumble of divine power gathered in front of her, clearly not from the same person or thing.

The only explanation is that people from all walks of life have already gathered here, so it's no wonder that Dr. Madman himself didn't come to find out first.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of Mount Xialan, I met seven or eight people running down the mountain screaming.

None of these people were able-bodied, either missing arms or legs, or having no eyes or ears. In short, they were all seriously wounded remnants of the defeated army.

Xue Qianying hid in the shadows and watched quietly, not using the power in her body for the time being, in case her whereabouts were leaked.

During this time, from time to time, someone will run away from the eyes.

She was wondering who had caused the casualties, when she suddenly felt like she was being stared at. As he turned his head, his body reflexively somersaulted backwards.

It wasn't a human being, it was a demon.

A demon spirit is an evil creature that is controlled by a person who has divine powers. The reason why they are called evil creatures is that when they were created, they were given the ability to cruelly absorb divine power, and those who were sucked away by them often died on the spot.

Moreover, they can attack ordinary people under certain conditions. This is the only method so far to use divine power on ordinary people, and it has also bred many ambitious villains.

The demon spirit in front of him was all black, spherical in shape, covered in long hair, and only exposed two slender white eyeliners.

The demon spirit has a very keen sense of divine power, but Xue Qianying has not yet launched its power, and it was discovered by it, which shows that this demon spirit is extraordinary.

At this time, Xue Qianying had summoned the mask, and her hands were clenched on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this, the demon spirit shook its body, and its originally soft long hair immediately stood up like a hedgehog, and its mouth began to let out a low cry of "woo".

The two sides were already in a state of tension, and a light flute suddenly sounded out of nowhere. The demon spirit heard the sound of the flute, hesitated for a moment, but still put away his fighting stance and flew away without looking back.

Xue Qianying didn't chase after him. Judging by the performance of the demon spirit, the person who played it should be its owner, perhaps the one who repaired those people just now.

When you don't know the identity and purpose of the other party, avoidance is the best option. After all, she was here to investigate the traces of the Hallows, so there was no need to clash with people for the time being.

She remained in her mask and stayed where she was, until she didn't feel the other party's presence at all, and then she lifted her guard and walked up the mountain.

Within the possible existence of the holy artifact provided by Dr. Bud Mad, Snow Thousand Shadows only found a dozen corpses and a dying wounded.

She helped the wounded man up against a tree and examined his injuries roughly. In addition to the messy wounds, there are three small holes in the chest that are of concern, which are supposed to have been left by the demon spirit after absorbing the divine power.

"Cheer up, what just happened?"

Because she knew that this person was hopeless, Xue Qianying was eager to ask him something while he was still conscious.

The injured man still closed his eyes in pain, but he still struggled to squeeze out two words from his mouth: "It's terrible, that person is terrible!"

"Who? Are you talking about the person who played the flute just now? Did he find the 'Sacred Contract'?" Xue Qianying grabbed the man's arm and continued to ask.

The man grabbed his chest with both hands, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out from the side of his head, and the ground immediately became more scarlet.

"I, I don't know the divine...... Holy Covenant, I only know that that person has, there are many demons, many ......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in pain, and then stopped moving.

"Hey, hey......"

Yukikage shook the wounded with some anxiety, but failed to wake him up again, and it seemed that he was already dead. She reluctantly let go of the hand that grabbed his shoulder, got up and looked around, there was no longer the breath of a living person.

Although he didn't find the holy contract as he wished, he was fortunate to know that the holy artifact had not been taken away by others, otherwise there would not have been any trace left. It's also possible that there was another detection error, and there were no artifacts at all.

Either way, she didn't need to worry, albeit a little disappointed.

At this time, it is the owner of the demon spirit that is more concerned.

According to the words of the dead man, a large number of demon spirits appeared here before.

Generally speaking, a person can only domesticate one or two spirits at a time. Because the demon spirit first feeds on divine power, and then obtains energy by converting divine power, it is easy to lose action and even die in the absence of divine power.

Therefore, when the source of divine power cannot be found, the demon spirit owner usually feeds them with his divine power.

As long as the spirit core in the body is still there, the divine power will slowly recover, but it will still take time after all. This is a very unfavorable situation for the owner of the demon spirit, and if he can't keep himself in the best condition at all times, he doesn't know when he will become the bait of others.

What did the person who played the flute rely on to domesticate so many demon spirits? Could it be that his divine power is so sufficient? It's unbelievable to think about it.

Or, there is also the possibility that the demon spirit does not belong to him alone, but belongs to some mysterious organization. If so, it's also quite tricky, and the existence of this organization is undoubtedly a threat to the Divine Domain.

At this time, the mountain wind blew, bringing a strong burst of blood. Looking at the dozen or so corpses scattered on the ground, it really looks like a pile of broken dolls that have been discarded by someone, some are just disheveled, and some are in tatters.

Xue Qianying has long been accustomed to such scenes, and she doesn't know how much blood has been stained on her own sword.

Looking down at his slender and white but blood-stained hands, the fearful eyes of the young man in the morning suddenly flashed in his mind.

I guess I've been regarded as a murderer and hated.

The corners of the mouth are unnaturally upturned in an arc.

Forget it, it's pretty much the same anyway.

I don't know if he's still in the institute or not. Since no holy artifact has been found, the most important thing now is to bring him back to the Divine Domain. Otherwise, he is likely to fall prey to someone else, especially with so many demon spirits suddenly appearing.

Thinking of this, Xue Qianying couldn't help but speed up the pace of rushing back to the research institute.
