CHAPTER XXXV

In the era when monsters are in power, the living space of human beings is particularly tight.

Even though there are still far more human beings in this world than youkai, the strength and cruelty of youkai have always put humans in a situation where they may be in danger at any time.

This era is very chaotic, between humans and monsters, between humans and humans, between monsters and monsters, between monsters and monsters, and the people are displaced, and the lives are miserable.

Ao Ling sat in a dilapidated tavern with a knife in his hand, listening to the noise of the people around him, trying to sort out the news he wanted.

However, the keyword "Sesshomaru of the Western Kingdom" is too pointed, and the guests in the tavern usually talk about what kind of yokai have appeared near the castle, which village has been attacked, or which castle lord has joined forces with which castle lord and is preparing for the next attack...... and so on.

Ao Ling listened for a while, but did not get any useful information.

After a wistful sigh, Ao Ling set his gaze on the shadowy place under the stairs ahead.

There was a dark shadow staring at him with an unbearable hunger/thirst in his eyes.

- It was a youkai that had been bred by miasma and ferocity.

Ao Ling knocked on the table, reached out and grabbed the boss who passed by him, and looked up at him.

"What's wrong...... boss's gaze fell on the knife Ao Ling was holding, and he paused slightly, "Lord Samurai?" ”

Ao Ling didn't refute his title, he just suddenly remembered that the coins in his pocket didn't know if they could be used here.

He rummaged through his pocket, took out the two copper coins, turned his head and asked the boss, "Can this work?" ”

The boss picked up the coin and looked at it carefully, then shook his head.

Ao Ling was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't done anything about eating the overlord's meal, and he was a little embarrassed, so he whispered: "That...... I'll help you kill that youkai in your shop, and use it as drink. ”

Hearing this, the boss's face twitched, and he looked a little distorted because of the sudden fear, and he also followed Ao Ling and lowered his voice, "You...... Can you see it? ”

Ao Ling nodded, pointing to the darkness under the stairs, "You can't see it?" ”

"It's something that has been discovered, but if there is no spiritual power, unless the monster takes the initiative to appear, otherwise ordinary people like us can't see the monster at all." The boss looked in the direction Ao Ling pointed, and even if he didn't find anything, his eyes still showed disgust.

Ao Ling looked at him, stood up and walked over to the little monster.

As soon as the footsteps stopped, the pitch-black monster let out an excited and sharp howl, stepped out of the shadow of hiding, and without the slightest intention of hiding, it was directly exposed in front of everyone, and threw itself towards Ao Ling with all his might.

- Monsters devour monsters, especially low-level monsters, if you are lucky enough to be able to get the flesh and blood of high-level monsters, the improvement of your body is very great.

It's rare to see a high-level youkai who is still in its infancy, and this youkai who is pitch-black and exudes an unpleasant miasma is so excited that he can't help himself.

"Yes, there's a youkai!!" The tavern was suddenly in chaos.

Ao Ling clearly felt the appetite that this monster showed to him, and he almost didn't freeze in place.

He has been called a ghoul in the universe for so many years, and it is the first time that he has seen an existence that dares to drool at him.

Ao Ling lightly dodged the monster's attack, directly drew his knife and slashed one into two neatly!

The moment the blade pierced into the flesh and blood, it seemed to see a giant beast open its bloody mouth in a trance, and in an instant, it devoured the split body of the monster, except for the blood that splashed out, leaving no trace of the monster's existence.

Ao Ling glanced at the pitch-black blade that absorbed the last trace of flesh and blood of the monster, and retracted the scabbard stupidly, and kicked it in disgust through the scabbard.

I've never seen a knife to grab something to eat with my master.

Shameless!

The tavern owner didn't seem to expect the matter to end so easily, and when Ao Ling walked in front of him, he was still stunned and couldn't react.

"Boss?" Ao Ling stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

The tavern owner opened his mouth sluggishly and asked intermittently, "Martial Warriors, ...... you?" What's your name? ”

Ao Ling was stunned, "You can call me Ling." ”

"Lord Ling." The tavern owner bowed deeply to Ao Ling, "Thank you very much for your help. ”

Ao Ling waved his hand, pursed his lips, and looked at the tavern owner, "It's better than verbal thanks...... Boss, do you know how to get around the West Country? ”

Originally, after listening to Ao Ling's first sentence, the boss who had already reached out and started to take money out of his pocket, paused when he heard the latter sentence, "What do you mean by the Great Western Kingdom, the country ruled by monsters?" ”

Ao Ling, who didn't know what kind of existence the West Kingdom was, had a momentary dazedness on his face, and then quickly covered it up, and nodded with a calm expression.

"It is said that there is no guide in that place, and ordinary people can't get in if they say it......" The boss said, thinking that the black boy in front of him was not an ordinary person, and closed his mouth again, "It's the same as the name of their country, all the way to the west, but there are monsters everywhere along the way." ”

It's best if there are youkai everywhere.

Ao Ling thought, nodded to the boss and left the city directly.

……

Recently, there has been a terrifying rumor among youkai.

There is a powerful and powerful black dog demon wreaking havoc everywhere, and no monster can survive anywhere it goes.

Whether it's a small minion or a tough youkai, as long as they appear in his path, or the youkai he smells, none of them will be spared.

According to the little monster who was lucky enough to see it from afar and ran away from afar, the black dog demon seems to be still in its infancy, but its strength is already very close to the big monster, and the direction in which this dog demon is moving is precisely the Great Western Kingdom where the dog clan is entrenched.

The monsters were in an uproar.

It's not without youkai who are still in their early years of growth but are too strong to be good, but the bloodlines of those who exist can be traced back, and their predecessors must be great demons, but before this black dog demon wreaked havoc, no one had heard of his existence.

A powerful juvenile dog demon is heading to the Westland...... This matter is slightly connected, and the expressions of the monsters become a little subtle, and they vaguely feel that they have glimpsed some truth.

Could it be that the big monster who has died in the Great Western Kingdom, in addition to the half-demon, also left a posthumous child outside?

Think about the last juvenile dog demon whose strength shocked the demon clan, isn't it the son of the dog general, Killing Pill?

Thinking that he might have to face a big monster comparable to Sesshomaru, a group of youkai who wanted to gather to fight down died down, and the monsters who lived in the black dog demon's advance route also took refuge in the burden.

The mind is a little more active, and the news is spread through various channels, just waiting to watch the tearing drama of the two giant dogs in black and white.

Ao Ling looked at the empty woods and felt a little confused.

He didn't quite understand why there were fewer and fewer youkai to be found along the way, and there were no very strong existences around him that could be perceived, and there were no monster lairs in places with thick miasma, this kind of thing was not normal.

Gently patting the three books that he had stuffed into his newly conjured robe, and rubbing his shriveled belly, Ao Ling turned around and prepared to take a few more steps in a different direction and find a few monsters to fill his stomach.

lest you do that kind of humiliating thing that gnaws at the bark of a tree.

As he was following the miasma, there was a sudden cold smell in the wind.

Ao Ling paused, turned his head to look in the direction where the smell came from, his stomach rumbled, he hesitated for two seconds, and simply turned his head neatly and ran in the direction where the aroma came from.

It's night.

The moonlight poured into the green waves of the forest, and the black miasma drifted around, and the wind blew through the silent forest, like someone's whining and whimpering.

Ao Ling followed the smell to the edge of a waterfall and bumped into the owner of the breath.

It was a cold and handsome youkai, with long silver hair hanging down to his waist, and the wind caused by the waterfall gently stirred up a trace of silver hair and fluttered with it.

He was dressed in a soft battle armor dyed with six cherry blossoms, his furry tail was softly resting on his right shoulder, there was a trace of a quarter moon on his forehead, the four demon patterns on his face were extremely gorgeous, surging with powerful demonic power, and his pointed ears were exposed, and he trembled slightly as if he was disturbed.

The golden beast eyes looked at it coldly, like sweeping an ant, and its eyes fluttered over the uninvited guests who came out of the woods.

- Can't beat it.

Ao Ling, who was glanced at, had such a realization in a moment.

Fortunately, the qi around the other party was quite peaceful, and he didn't mean to beat him, Ao Ling took a few steps back cautiously, but heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo from behind, and his heart sank, and he jumped directly onto the branch above his head, and looked down at the little green-skinned monster below who was wearing black clothes and holding a cane and looked up at him.

Ao Ling frowned, condensed the demonic power in his hand, and was about to kill this little monster, but was dispelled by the other party's words.

"Who are you, what do you want to do after Sesshomaru-sama!" The little monster shouted waving his cane.

"Sesshomaru?" The demonic power in Ao Ling's hand gradually dissipated, but he still reached out and held the knife, and moved his gaze to the edge of the waterfall, "The killing pill of the western country?" ”

"Since you know it's Sesshomaru-sama, why don't you step back quickly!" The greenskin raised his cane.

Ao Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the little monster, and probably guessed that this little monster was an existence of the retinue of the Killing Pill.

- It's just ugly.

He turned his head to look in the direction where the cold incense kept wafting, and sighed, "Really...... It's a big monster. ”

It's still a big youkai that doesn't look so easy to talk to.

Ao Ling felt that there was a good chance of borrowing a knife. Nine is to have no play, I knew that it was better to be shameless and take the jade of the four souls and jump into the well to finish.

If you calculate carefully, you've been in this place full of monsters for a few days, and they'll be worried if it's been a long time.

After wasting so many days, I finally found it, and I can't just give up because people don't even try because they can't speak.

Ao Ling thought, jumped off the branch, took a deep breath, his whole body tensed, and walked step by step towards the big monster standing on the edge of the waterfall bathing in the moonlight, and the whole person was shining in the moonlight.

"What are you looking for Sesshomaru-sama!" The little green-skinned monster raised its foot and just wanted to keep up with him, but it was waved by Ao Ling's hand, and a powerful demonic power erupted, and it couldn't move in an instant.

The little monster clenched his cane and looked up at Ao Ling's back, "This crimson demon power, you can't be the black dog demon who has been very fierce recently, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Ao Ling could come back to his senses, he saw a light whip coming towards him from the front, with the sound of whirring wind, flashing a blade-like cold light under the moonlight.
