It's a common name. Whether in fairy tales or novels, such characters are not uncommon. And with the widespread knowledge of these two words, the word demon king has changed from a name to a description.

How can such a word disturb the witch's heavenly heart?

What disturbed her heart was not just two words, but it was also not the meaning behind these two words - not even the powerful existence that this name represented.

That's a feeling. It was a feeling that suddenly appeared in the shrine maiden's heart after hearing these two words.

This feeling, or the sixth sense, is what some cultivators call a "whim."

The so-called sixth sense is not unfounded and untrustworthy for cultivators. Even as for the cause of the sixth sense, after years of thinking, there are several theories.

Some people say that a cultivator's five senses are too powerful, so powerful that they receive a lot of information unconsciously. This information will be ignored, but it will not be completely forgotten. And when countless pieces of such information are pieced together, cultivators can subconsciously deduce new information. This inference is the sixth sense.

This argument is the most convincing. Because everybody knows that once sanctified, all things can be regarded as ants.

The so-called saints take all things in the world as chess pieces, and the heavens and stars as the chessboard, count the world, and lay out the world!

Their calculations are because their five senses are so powerful that they ignore the boundaries of heaven and earth, and their ability to process information is also incredibly powerful. They are able to capture all the information in the heavens and the earth and use that information to make inferences.

This inference is to judge the future.

They have all the possibilities of the future, they know all the secrets of the past, and they can control the world with one hand.

Another way of saying this is that cultivators will keep getting closer to the Great Dao in the process of cultivation. And the avenue is horizontal and heavenly, and exists in the world, and nothing in the world can escape the eyes of the avenue. As the cultivator and the Great Dao became more and more compatible, the Great Dao would also give the cultivator some hints at some times.

But there is a key to this statement, that is, whether the Great Dao will take the initiative to give enlightenment to cultivators.

If it will, then the avenue ...... Isn't it a spiritual one?

This argument was very marketable in ancient times. But by the time it came to the shrine maiden's generation, there were fewer people who believed in it. The reason is that people nowadays believe that the Great Dao is just a concept or a rule, and it is not a life with spiritual intelligence.

- After all, the Great Dao hasn't manifested in tens of thousands of years, hasn't it?

But no matter which statement they believe, cultivators all believe in the sixth sense. And the shrine maiden, naturally, also believed.

She was still looking at Leo, but her gaze was not focused. This made her eyes a little hollow, and it also made the shrine maiden look a little dull.

She was thinking.

What was she thinking?

Leo was a little confused, but didn't ask. Because the cold, ruthless, emotionless glance that the witch had cast to the world just now did make him feel a great deal of pressure.

Under this kind of pressure, even if he still had the intention of borrowing the other party's strength, he had already been buried extremely deep at this time. As for interrupting the other person's thinking? For Leo, there was no reason to do such a thing.

The next moment, the shrine maiden's body shook slightly.

Leo interrupted his thoughts and looked at her.

She looked up at the roof.

So Leo looked up as well.

A loud thunderous bang suddenly rang out.

Billowing smoke fills the air.

Subsequently, the house collapsed.

————————————————————

The collapse of a house naturally does not happen for no reason. Either because of disrepair or because of natural disasters such as earthquakes...... Of course, there are many more reasons.

In this world, the most common cause is not natural disasters or tofu scum projects, but man-made disasters.

So, after the smoke and dust cleared, Leo, who was protected by the shrine maiden at the last moment, saw the monster in front of him who was only a few meters away from the two of them.

It looks like an ape, and its body is like a raccoon dog. Its limbs are extremely strong and powerful, like a tiger of the king of beasts. And its tail is like a snake's tail.

This monster looks like it is made up of the limbs of several animals, and it is extremely terrifying. Its eyes were red, as if it were in a state of rage.

It stared at the shrine maiden and Leo in front of it, and did not make any noise, but naturally there was a strange sound like the chirping of birds and beasts.

Seeing the appearance of this monster, Leo's eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously shouted:

"It's—a bulge! It's the beast species of the demon species! ā€

Among the demon species, the more high-ranking beings are, the less like humans. And the beast species is the kind that is relatively powerful even among the high-ranking demons. This situation is not due to any discrimination between the Demon King and humans, but as the original fantasy species, when the Demon King creates the demon species, he will try to be as close to the form of the fantasy species as possible.

The more successful the work, the more it resembles a fantasy. The more failed the work, the more human-like it is. Therefore, in the demon species, the division of classes is as simple as the more like the fantasy species, the higher.

Of course, the shrine maiden didn't know any of this. But she could feel the strength of the monster in front of her.

And the name of the eagle is not unfamiliar to her.

It is a type of yokai in Japanese legend. Legend has it that the eagle would judge good and evil in people. Those who are considered good by it are protected by the eagle, and if judged to be evil, they are killed by the eagle in a very cruel way.

But this demon in front of him ...... It doesn't seem to be a creature that can judge the good and evil of humans.

The shrine maiden thought to herself, and then raised her hand.

The eagle's body seemed to shake a little, but it was as if nothing had happened.

And in the hands of the shrine maiden, who should have been empty, a sword appeared.

The sword body was as clear as autumn water, and it looked extremely sharp.

With the appearance of the sword body, the looming strange sound gradually became louder. It may be the chirping of the owl, or the sound of the heavens and the earth trembling when they are shocked by the power of the owl.

The sound was extremely harsh. If you are an ordinary person, you will be in a trance just by hearing it.

Shrine maidens are certainly not ordinary people.

But Leo beside him is.

As the voice grew louder, Leo suddenly felt dizzy. He subconsciously took a half step back.

The shoe made a dull thud as it stepped on the dry ground.

At the same time, the shrine maiden's sword was already pointed at the monster not far away.

And the owl ...... It's gone.
