Listening to Mu Ziqi's piano sound, the mother flying locust felt that there seemed to be a movement in her abdomen. She pressed her hand on her towering belly, and looked at the mortal's eyes with some surprise.

The other female locusts who originally disdained this could not change their faces at first, but they couldn't stand it halfway, so they couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Stop playing anymore"

Mu Ziqi, who was stopped, shook his hand and ruined the song that was getting better again.

The little monster lay quietly on his lap, staring intently at the trembling strings with his big and sudden eyes. It wasn't until Mu Ziqi stopped in a hurry that it came back to its senses.

Strangely, it turned to look at its mother, only to see the mother locust rolling in the mud with her belly in her arms.

The gray-blue wet soil stained her body, and she picked at the ground with a hideous face, and said quickly: "Quick, dig a pit for me, the child will be born."

The little monster promised to dig a few times into the ground, but its hands and feet were too small for its body to dig a pit for the mother locust to enter.

Mu Ziqi was already so frightened that he didn't know the world, he hugged Jiao Wei Yaoqin tightly, and sat in place at a loss. Seeing that the terrible woman with a big belly was hunched up after the pain of childbirth, he stomped his feet and sighed, so he had to put down the yaoqin and stepped forward to help the little monster dig up the ground.

The wet soil is very easy to dig, and although he does not have much amazing strength, if he grits his teeth and resists, he can easily pick it up.

But the mother locust was really a little unbearable, and she moved over with her rolling, lifted the busy mortal away, and then sat down with her legs bent into the shallow pit that was not up to her waist and hips, and groaned.

Mu Ziqi was already hungry and cold, so he had only been doing physical work for a while, but now he was thrown again, and when he landed, his eyes were full of gold stars, and his head was dizzy and his ears were ringing.

At that moment, he could neither hear the painful cries of the monsters, nor could he see the nightmarish sight, and in a trance, he only heard the sound of the piano whistling through his consciousness like a storm.

The little monster flew back and forth in a hurry. After a few high-pitched screams, the mother locust finally completed her task.

She crawled out of the dirt pit with her body propped up, and several translucent elongated eggs emerged from the shallow bottom of the pit, half-hidden and half-exposed.

She filled the pit with her bare hands, took a deep breath, and lay back on the ground with her big belly, which had not been much flat.

"It's time for us to change places." The other female said weakly, "There is almost no place to bury here." ”

"Yes, yes," the mother locust whispered with her eyes closed, "it's time for us to leave, but now let me lie down a little longer."

The frequent spawning had consumed most of her body, and she really couldn't walk.

The searching brute bull heard the sharp and piercing sound of the piano from a distance, so he hurriedly turned around and said to Hei Saburo: "My lord, there is movement over there. ”

Kurosaburo was tilting his head to look in the direction she was pointing, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just raised his feet and left.

The wind broke through the air, but in the blink of an eye, they were already standing in the place where the locusts were born.

There were breasted and pot-bellied locust mothers, and their bodies lay in the mud, as if they had not yet noticed their arrival.

Kurosaburo frowned in disgust, and the brute bull standing behind him leaned over the ground to inspect it.

There were traces of wet mud churning all over the floor, and she picked a random spot to flick it, and translucent eggs that had not yet appeared like babies were revealed.

So the brute shook his hand, and then whispered to Hei Saburo: "It's right here." ”

Hei Saburo said expressionlessly: "It looks like it's all here, but it saves us trouble." ”

The brute bull realized, when he drew the heavy sword behind his back, and walked steadily towards those flying locusts.

The half-asleep female locusts woke up in an instant when they heard the sound of the heavy sword being unsheathed. Before they could look closely, instinct had already driven them to dodge.

Under the blow of the bull, only one female worm was killed.

The dark green sticky worm's blood splattered, and the mother worm who had no time to dodge was killed instantly.

The brute bull quickly swung his arm back to his sword, and a pair of sharp eyes followed the remnants of those flying away, and he was about to strike again.

The female locusts with huge bellies landed on all fours and made a sharp croaking at the bulls.

Mu Ziqi, who was dizzy, struggled to prop up her upper body, and at a glance saw a female monster lying diagonally opposite, her face had been cracked, and her huge and sharp sickle-shaped teeth were supported on both sides of her cheeks like a false mask, and the place where it should have been a mouth had been replaced by a large hole in a black hole.

As she slowly stepped back with a threatening roar, her huge belly dragged a ditch about half an inch deep in the muddy ground.

Mu Ziqi only felt that all the hardships and shocking things in his half life were not as good as what he had seen and heard today, and this nightmare-like illusory and unbelievable horror scene made him numb with fear.

The mud under him suddenly became extremely hot, and the hot heat penetrated through the dry and hard clothes and reached the skin.

Mu Ziqi, who was sweating all over his body, slowly stood up, and Jiaowei Yaoqin fell from his lap and let out a noisy and piercing sound of strings.

The frightened locust mothers flicked their bodies suddenly, and in an instant they collided with the flying bulls.

The brute bull has experienced a hundred battles, and a few insect demons can resist it. With a battle intent in her eyes, she only swung her heavy sword smoothly a few times, and the female insect that had only approached screamed and fell into pieces.

Under the blood of insects in the sky, Mu Ziqi, who was fearless and fearless, subconsciously raised his hand and caught the foreign object that fell from the sky.

The female youkai who sneered and asked the little monster to take him away now only has half of her head left. Her eyes widened, and her gray-blue face was still hideous, as if she would pounce on him and bite him by the neck in the next moment.

When Mu Ziqi looked into those lifeless eyes, he saw his own face that was also hideous because of fear.

In the face of fear, how much difference can there be between humans and demons At that moment, Mu Ziqi felt as if he could no longer feel afraid.

"Run" In the chaos, the scared little monster dragged Mu Ziqi's collar and said in a panic, "Run"

Mu Ran's Mu Ziqi staggered, but fell to his knees heavily. At this moment, he completely lost the ability to escape, and in the urging of the little monster, he even forgot which one to take first.

The little monster's urging became more and more urgent, and he raised his head and stared blankly ahead.

A handsome young man in black clothes and black hair stood there majestically, as if he was watching the battle. When Mu Ziqi looked at him with empty eyes, he turned his head and smiled at him.

He smiled so kindly.

Mu Ziqi thought unconsciously.

Looking at the disdainful or gloating faces of the people around him, Mu Ziqi had not seen such a pleasing smile as this young man for a long time.

But the little monster next to him obviously didn't think like that. When Kurosaburo looked back with a smile, it took a step back as if it were facing a great enemy.

Mu Ziqi, who was pulled by the collar, was dragged over in an instant, and he coughed violently from the sudden suffocation.

"Natural predators" the little monster screamed in a trembling voice, "The natural predators are coming, let's run"

Hei Saburo raised his eyebrows slightly, although the brute bull is powerful, but the locust is extremely fast, but it is not easy to deal with.

It's the middle of the night, and I'll tell you the truth. He thought about it, and finally could only comforted him ambiguously: "Don't be afraid, you will definitely grow bigger and better wings in the future." ”

The little monster was very naïve, and he was happy when he heard this.

"Then do you say that I can sing as well as you in the future" The little monster reached out and grabbed Mu Ziqi's finger expectantly and said, "I was in so much pain just now, so I forgot to help you pick up my wings." You're going to grow it all over again, right?"

Mu Ziqi squeezed out a dry smile with difficulty, and nodded very unwillingly.

But in fact, that Yaoqin must not be recovered. Because the situation was too urgent at that time, Yaoqin and this little monster, he only had time to save one.

He was already a decrepit man with bad luck, and nothing in this life was fulfilled as he wished, and after half a life of honor and disgrace, the only thing he could always be by his side was that Yaoqin. But when the fire attacked Yaoqin and the little monster at the same time, he abandoned the qin and chose it.

Probably deep down in his heart, he regarded this little monster who was always clamoring to hear him play the piano and sincerely thought it was good

It's ridiculous to think about it, he was able to meet thousands of people between the ups and downs, but in the end, only a little monster who didn't know anything about the world and didn't know how to suffer appreciated his piano sound.

"If you go to the mortal world and listen to the harps of those gentlemen, you will no longer think that I can play the harp well." Mu Ziqi, who is still self-aware, sighed, "In the old days, some people said that my piano sound was too aggressive, and there was no such elegance at all, but Yaoqin followed me, but it was ruined."

"But I just think you sing the best" The little monster clasped his hands together and said very seriously, "The autumn cicadas and crickets sing well, but I listen to so much, I still think you sing the most and the best."

The little monster has never been to the mortal world, and it doesn't even understand what a piano is. Mu Ziqi realized that he couldn't make it understand his words at all.

He smiled helplessly, and finally gave up arguing.

The little monster felt that his body hurt badly, and its mother was wheezing in the mud hole, as if she was in production, it didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only pull Mu Ziqi's finger and say, "My body hurts so much, can you sing to me?"

Mu Ziqi did not answer. His piano is gone, and how can he play it without it

"Ah, I forgot that your wings were burned out." The little monster muttered weakly, "Alas, how long can your wings grow back for a day or three days"

The female monster's wheezing grew weaker and weaker, as if she had fallen asleep.

"You want to listen" Mu Ziqi lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of waking up the locust mother worm over there, "this way, if your injury can be better, then I will play the piano for you." ”

The little monster's eyes lit up, and he curled up obediently and said, "Our locust body can grow quickly, so the injury should be healed quickly." I'll be able to find a spouse in two days, and until then, can you sing to me?"

Mu Ziqi's eyes flashed slightly, but she was a little funny. I heard the female monsters say that they are matched by singing, and I feel that the little monster is ignorant and ignorant, and I am unconsciously courting him

Looking up at the barren mudflats, and thinking about those youkai, he felt that it was impossible for him to get out of here alive.

"Okay," he said to the little monster with a blank face, "as long as you can get better." ”

"Then we'll make an appointment." The little monster grabbed his fingers tightly with his small hand, and said happily, "I'll be fine soon."

With that, it tilted its head, but fell asleep.

Mu Ziqi saw that it was sleeping deeply, so he lifted a corner of his coat and wrapped it carefully.

When he was busy, he heard the mother locust on the other side suddenly say out: "The locust needs to molt five times to become an adult, and it has already faded three times, and now it is the fourth time." ”

Mu Ziqi didn't understand what she was talking about, so she could only look at her blankly.

The mother locust looked at him deeply, and then sighed, "Take it to the east, there is a three-way river that can sink evil spirits, as long as you cross the river, you can go back to the mortal world." ”

As soon as she raised her arm, a string of things clanged and fell in front of Mu Ziqi.

Mu Ziqi picked it up and took a closer look, but it was more than a dozen copper coins strung with grass stems.

"This is the ferry money I picked up from passers-by. You should take it as a reward for protecting my son for two nights. When the mother locust had said this, she said no more.

Mu Ziqi saw that her gasping was getting harder, and she knew that she was about to swallow. After hesitating, he gritted his teeth and picked up the little monster, and followed her instructions and headed east.

Looking at the back of the mortal who was fading away, the female locust twitched and finally laid the last egg.

She struggled to crawl out of the pit, the monster soldier was so powerful, although she narrowly escaped the catastrophe, but in the end she was still injured by the blade.

She knew that her life was short, so she could only force her last breath to give birth to all the eggs in her abdomen.

"Whether you can be born safely depends on your own luck." The mother locust carefully filled in the soil pit with wet mud little by little, and then dragged her body back slowly.

She could already feel the mud beach under her vibrating slightly, and the fierce demonic aura of the enemy-like monster was close at hand.

She stopped, lying motionless on the ground like a dead corpse.

The bull lifted his heavy sword and stood still in front of the mother locust. Although her aura was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, the brute bull raised her arm and raised the heavy sword in her hand to protect herself.

The mother locust, which had been stiff, suddenly bounced and bit the bull's neck viciously with her sickle-sharp and terrifying mouth.

As soon as the bull tightened his arm, he saw a flash of silver light, and the female locust flying in the air suddenly stopped moving.

The brute bull snorted coldly, but he put away his heavy sword and walked away.

After a dull cracking sound, the last female locust also turned into scattered pieces of flesh and landed on the barren mudflat
