Chapter 16: Death
The cold air in the secret room of the Futu Realm was cold, and the huge space made any sound that came from inside echo continuously.
“…… Ahem, hehe, hahahaha! A silver-haired old man with black hair stood in front of a big black circle, and his cough turned from a painful cough to a loud laugh that was filled with boundless pain: "I'm about to succeed, cough cough ......." Hitomi, don't you regret leaving me? ”
"Whether you regret it or not, I'm going to ruin the place that made you leave me, and ruined the people who let you leave me."
Obsidian's originally gray hair was now completely white, he turned around, his eyes were full of fierceness, just to stabilize this door, he had spent almost half of his life's strength, and now was the time to replenish.
dragged his tired body back to the main hall of the Demon Palace. No one knew that he had a shortcut in this hall that could go directly to the secret room. Sitting on that golden throne and tidying up.
Wave your hand: "Someone." ”
A green-skinned little demon wearing the clothes of an attendant, trembling and walking in, their lord has become more and more abnormal after he came back, originally the lord was a domineering but not domineering person, how much can he still be reasonable, now, there is no reason to talk about it at all.
The attendants serving in this temple have recently died, all because they are not thoughtful and have annoyed the lord. Because the guards in this temple are all dead, it is the turn of himself who was originally guarding the side door to come up.
A few days when he was on duty, he was sent out by the lord to serve wine and fruit, in order to please the master, he deliberately ran faster, the green demon didn't know that the fruit was a euphemism for "get out", so he didn't expect that when he came back, the lord had not finished discussing things, and was hesitating whether he should enter the door, when he suddenly heard something terrible.
He heard the Venerable Lord instruct the Demon Guard not to miss the old feelings anymore, and to hurry up and find a way to deal with those retainers who opposed the invasion of the human realm, as well as the young master of Xiguang who had fled.
He was so frightened that he did not know how he had returned to his dwelling with the fruit bowl in his arms.
The Lord has become too much! Although those retainers had some objections at this time, they were old men who had followed the lord all their lives. But this is still unrelated, who is the young master of the light? That's the demon people who grew up, the lord's own son! The pictures of father's kindness and filial piety in the past have not yet dispersed in the hearts of everyone in the Futu Realm, and the old lord is going to kill his own child with his own hands?
Yes, they demon people really don't make sense to do things, but the demon people also fancy the heirs, and for the prosperity of the heirs, this is why they want to invade the human world, right? His confusion about this matter has long diluted the enthusiasm for the imminent invasion of the human world, presumably the people in this Futu Realm, except for those fanatics who are not high in IQ and have not yet lost their animal nature, are also more confused than impulsive at this time, right?
Step by step, he walked towards the crazy lord, and the closer he got to him, the more he had a bad premonition in his heart: I am afraid that today it will be his turn. I didn't expect my short demon life to end like this.
The Obscured Venerable Lord on the other end probably felt that this little demon was walking too slowly, so he directly stretched out his hand, and a whirlwind with a strong suction force in his palm sucked the little goblin who had just cultivated a little human form and had not yet cultivated his gender and flew towards him.
It's too weak, why is the level of the little demon in this hall getting lower and lower, getting weaker and weaker.
But I can't pick anything, so be it. Obsia made up his mind in his heart, and at this time, he gave himself some strength. Later, let the Dark Demon Guard go out to hunt some low-level demons and demon beasts back, he needs a steady stream of replenishment in order to finally complete his hegemony.
Chi Hunt circled around the gate of the Demon Palace, sorting out the wording. Since Xiguang left, he hadn't been to this demon palace for a long time. Feeling that the efficiency of the Demon Guard was still too low, he wanted to ask the Lord to let him go to the human world to find the young master.
The person on duty in this demon palace saw that it was a hunting, and they did not stop him from swaying at the door, until a scream broke his ears from the demon palace. This scream is so terrible, it is obviously the cry of a low-level goblin who has no gender before he is about to die, who killed such a small child in this palace?
Seeing that the guard at the gate was motionless, Chi Hunt stepped forward and grabbed the armor of one of them: "What's going on?" ”
A terrible scream echoed in the guard's ears, and some unbearable words appeared in his eyes: "Maybe the new palace servant has done something wrong again, and the lord is punishing him." ”
Punish?
What kind of punishment is directly fatal? When did such a low-level demon become a palace attendant?
As if knowing the doubts in his heart, the guard said, "The palace attendants have been getting worse and worse lately, and the old lord has already punished many ....... ”
In this way, it is an indiscriminate killing for no reason, some of these demon palace attendants have served in this palace all their lives, and it is impossible to say that they have made mistakes if they make mistakes.
It's not like that, it can't be like this.
"You're lying, the old lord is not such a person."
The old lord has always united the demon people the most, whether it is the demon or the demon monster who came to serve in the temple, they are all selected from their forty-eight demon clans, they are all the people of the demon venerable, and there is no reason to kill indiscriminately.
The little demon's scream had weakened, and the hunter no longer cared about the guards, and rushed straight inside.
Another guard on the side wanted to rush up to stop him, but the guard who was originally pinched in armor shook his head gently at him, with sadness in his eyes: let him go, give him a chance, give him a little space, let him save these weak clansmen.
Chi Hunt single-handedly urged the magic skill, summoned his phantom beast blood wolf, rode it to the outside of the hall quickly, got off the mount and broke straight in, and saw that the lord was pinching a thin green goblin, absorbing its demonic power, and said in a hurry: "Lord! ”
Obsidian was disturbed by this, and originally wanted to kill the person who dared to break in, but he didn't expect to see Chi Hunt. Quietly threw the little goblin on the ground, the green goblin escaped from death, and the goblin who had lost most of the demon power could no longer maintain its original state, and twitched twice on the ground, and shrunk into a small sapling wrapped in the root system, which turned out to be a little tree demon.
He lowered his head and took two steps towards Chi Hunting, the fierceness in his eyes changed a few times, and finally brought a touch of reluctant kindness: "Chi Hunt, why did you come?" I heard that your Blood Wolf Clan has been preparing to extinguish the Flame Wolf Clan's internal strife recently, how is it? Are there any major problems? Do you need to find a way to balance mediation? ”
Chi Hunt stared at the dying little tree spirit on the ground, listening to the kind words that were getting closer and closer in his ears. I felt that my mood couldn't calm down so quickly like the old lord. But do you want to question the Venerable Lord, why do you want to absorb the demonic power of a little tree spirit? He had to try to adjust his breathing, and said stiffly, "No." ”
"Oh, it's good if you don't. Then you came today, are you looking for something with me? "Dark Yao tried his best to maintain a kind expression, the blood wolf clan is the leader of the wolf clan, the strongest in the wolf clan, the one with the most god of war, and it is also the demon clan that specializes in the god of war in the entire Futu realm, and Chi Hunt is the child of the patriarch of the blood wolf clan, who has been by the side of the young master Xiguang since he was a child, and trained together, he was cultivated by the blood wolf clan as the first general of the demon clan in the future, and he has a very high prestige among the demons since he was a child.
Darkness endured the violence in his heart and persuaded himself: Keeping this little wolf king, who is quite loved by the demons, will be of great use in the future.
"I'm here today for ......." Chi Hunt rolled his intention in his throat a few times, but for some reason, he couldn't speak, and the little wolf king, who rarely lied once, forced himself to change his words on the spot: "I am on the order of my blood wolf king, and I came to bring a message to the old lord, please don't worry about the small disputes within the wolf clan, the blood wolf clan can deal with it alone." ”
With some scrutiny, Dawn slowly swept over the little wolf king's solemn expression, and said slowly, "Oh, that's really good. ”
Chi Hunt looked at the little goblin who had passed out on the ground, paused and said, "I don't know what mistake this little tree spirit has made, why don't you ...... it, let me take it down for the lord, teach it well, and teach it a lesson." ”
Obsidian raised an eyebrow, then turned and waved.
Chi Hunt understood what he meant, and hurriedly stepped forward, holding the little goblin who was dying with both hands in the palm of his hand, and led it away.
The guard at the door saw from a distance the people who came out of it, tall and mighty, and wearing a big wool shawl, which added a lot of wildness, the hair on his head was tied together at will, his face was resolute and handsome, and his pupils were the brownish-green of wolf eyes, and no prey dared to face such a pair of eyes. And now there was a chill in the look that emanated from those eyes. The Hunter strode out of the door, holding in his hand a small thing, which was still an ugly lump, and looked incongruous and ridiculous.
He walked through the doorway, bringing a cold wind. But after a while, he came back with the lump in his hand, and said to the two guards who had let him in, "Thank you." With that, he left, rode a blood wolf as mighty and tall as him, ran quickly, and disappeared under the distorted canopy of the Futu Realm.
Although the guards were motionless, like sculptures, their eyes revealed reverence for the strong, and they faintly felt that this should be what their demon powerhouses looked like, and the hope for the demons to survive .......
*********
The ancient merchant capital is about to dawn at night.
Ao Suo was in a hurry, he had traveled all over the ancient merchant capital in the past ten days, and naturally knew what streets were here and how to go, but he followed these roads until the sky was white, and he did not find Aqin's mother and son.
"Who are you looking for?" A voice said coldly.
Ao Suo felt a chill behind his back, turned around, and saw a sharp sword, the tip of which was pointed straight at his throat. The person holding the sword, it just so happened that he had also thought about meeting him before: "Miss Hongling." ”
Ao Suo swallowed: "I was looking for my mother and son, they went out with the housekeeper beasts raised at home, but this night, I didn't find them." ”
"Oh? You have been in this city all night. Hong Ling took the sword in his hand and asked in a playful tone.
"Yes." He didn't intend to hide it, and he couldn't hide it, and he didn't know when she started following him.
"So, did you see something?"
What do you see? I've seen so much, do you want me to say it all? I saw you sitting on the city lord's house blowing the cold wind, I guess you don't want to hear that.
Seeing that in this strange ancient merchant capital, there are only lights and people near the city lord's house, do you mean to see this?
"Take them away." Hong Ling said coldly: "No matter what you see, don't tell them, and don't tell anyone." And, take them away immediately, as soon as possible, and get out of here by any means. Far from here. She picked up his chin with the hilt of her sword, Hong Ling was obviously a few heads shorter than Ao Suo, but this provocative action still forced him to raise his head, this woman's strength is really great.
The pain in my jaw hadn't gone away, and I felt a gust of wind roll past me. Hong Ling's cold voice came from afar: "Let's go out of the city and look for it, maybe somewhere to go around the bend." ”
Out of town? How will you get out of town?
He went out of the city again, and thought of a very bad possibility, and at once he ran as fast as he could to the farthest border.
Rounding the bend, going around the bend, how could he not think of it, maybe something happened at home, or maybe something happened to the people of Xinan, so Aqin went out of the city, not worrying about the two children, she must have taken the child and accidentally went to the border...... As long as you touch the border, you will be delirious and go around the bend, and you will not be able to come back for a certain period of time.
This is the place where those so-called "far away" ancient merchants went. These people are trapped in this roundabout, and they will only go back when they feel that they are done "going far away" and that it is time to go back. But those people are those people, and he even suspects that those people will not die without eating or drinking, and this is not the case with the three of them. The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, Aqin Maomao is fine, Xiaodouding will not lose four meals a day, if it is delayed like this, this child will be hungry.
Yuan Qinqin rode Maomao farther and farther, not even a single person in a town on the way, the more tired she walked, the more thirsty and hungry she became, and Maomao became more and more tired.
But as they walked, they saw a small figure appear in front of the big meadow that seemed to never finish, she was overjoyed, and ran towards the man, the figure was getting closer and closer, more and more familiar, but she hesitated, could it be a hallucination, how did that person look like Ao Suo?
It must have been a hallucination, she went out in a hurry and forgot to leave a message, this place is so far away from the business capital, it must not be Ao Suo's.
However, what Ao Suo saw was that the woman was holding the child and running towards him, running hard, but she didn't move at all, her eyes changed from joy to doubt, and finally she didn't even do the appearance of running over.
How do you wake her up and pull her back?
By the way, he thought about it, this woman is so stupid, she must not have thought that there is such a thing as a boundary in this city, and he didn't have time to remind her of this new discovery, so: the expression on her face can be explained, she must feel that she has walked so many miles but still bumped into herself, and feels that she is an illusion.
Ha, look at her stupid expression again, it must be like this, yes.
Alas.
Ao Suo walked towards the woman: "Why did you run out alone yesterday?" ”
Yuan Qinqin showed a frightened expression, because just now, after thinking that Ao Suo was hallucinating, she turned around and was about to walk towards Maomao behind. But the illusion Ao Suo appeared in front of him again, and he was still talking! Also ask her questions!
"Don't come here!! You are hallucinating!! Don't try to lie to me! Mao Mao, Mao Mao! She hissed and shouted Maomao, and Maomao ran towards her and stood behind her, but she didn't yell at Ao Suo in front of her.
"Do you think I'm hallucinating? I'm not. Ancient merchants have boundaries, you fell into the illusion of the ancient merchant capital, take my hand, I will take you out. ”
He held out his hand to her, "You've believed me so many times, and you should believe me this time." Well? He stretched his hand forward again.
The little fool finally loosened his expression, stretched out a hand, and when it touched his hand, he touched it several times before finally confirming that it was true, and then threw himself into his arms with the child in his arms, crying.
He spread his arms, a little embarrassed and a little happy, and finally slowly put his hand on her back, which was still a little fleshy, patted it gently, and said softly, "Tell me what's wrong?" Why did you come out alone last night? Do you know that I traveled all over the city and searched for you all night? ”
Yuan Qinqin struggled out of his arms, choked up and carried the child to him to show him: "Look at Xiaodouding, he is very hot, he is really not good"
"I was counting money in the bedroom with my baby in my arms yesterday, and he suddenly collapsed and was hot!"
"I cooled him down, but it was useless, I came out to look for it, but I didn't find a hospital, there was no doctor, I had to come out to look for it, but we haven't found anyone until now! What to do? ”
"The child is still having a fever, if this temperature continues to burn, the brain will be bad, what should Ao Suo do?!"
Yuan Qinqin was anxious to speak, wanting to explain things clearly, anxious and wanting to cry, but didn't notice that Ao Suo looked at Xiao Douding, and his expression changed from anxious at the beginning to disbelief and stiffness now.
How could it be ....... Seeing that the hot meridians on this child's body even faintly glowed a lava-like burnt red, he only had these three words in his mind.
He was expressionless, and said slowly: "There is no need to find a doctor, it is useless, there is no doctor who can cure him." ”
