Chapter 409: The Legend of the Swamp Poison Frog
The troll floating in the air, all red, with a pair of long curved horns, covered in thick red hair, a pair of blood-red, and two red lights shining in his eyes like copper bells, this red light illuminated the earth below red.
The strange giant, the Wind Demon, slowly withdrew his gaze, the red light dissipated, and the earth returned to its original color.
"Wind Demon, you, how did you come to be like this? Is this still you? Murong Hong asked.
"Our demon people are originally like this, what, don't you think it's good-looking?" The wind demon shook his huge shoulders, and a gust of wind blew from his body, making Murong Hong a little unsteady on his feet, and almost fell from the air.
"Murong Hong, thank you for giving me Murong Xue's holy blood." Wind Demon said, "Now, with the Holy Blood in my body, I have become the strongest in the Demon Clan. Well, it's time for me to go back to the Demon Capital, and now, it's time for me to reclaim my rightful place! โ
"You, you were lying to me, tricking me into giving you blood?" Murong Hong looked at the Wind Demon in surprise.
"That's right." The Wind Demon nodded, and a smile could still be seen on that terrifying strange face, but it was a very hideous smile.
"Murong Hong, your current body is not yours, but your sister Murong Xue's." The Wind Demon said, "Her real name is Dugu Xue, and her blood has a strange energy. As long as I get her blood and mix it with my demon blood, I can be invincible in the world. โ
"After doing it for a long time, what you want is my sister's blood, so why don't you just kill me with a knife, and go to great lengths to let me cut my fingers with a knife?"
"I killed you? That's useless, all I need is a drop of blood that you give voluntarily, otherwise, the magic won't work. Well, now that I'm going to tell you the truth. Wind Demon said, "I'm not here just to be the messenger of the Demon Kingdom. Yes, it is indeed my job to be the messenger of the Demon Kingdom, but in addition to this, I have a small personal intention to come here. โ
"Your attempt is to obtain Murong Xue's blood and make yourself invincible in the world?" Murong Hong frowned.
"No, I didn't come here for that in the first place." Stormfiend shook his head, "My original Moody, or my own petty selfishness, wasn't this, but something else. โ
"What's that?"
"Immortal Warframe!"
"Immortal armor?"
"Yes, this is a piece of armor belonging to Hades, the king of Hades, and when you wear it, you have the same dark power as the king of Hades. I heard that this treasure is in this netherworld, so I came to find this treasure in the name of this parade. "However, I still haven't found this Hades armor. Not bad, though, I at least found another better thing. โ
"Something better, what's that?"
"It is the blood of the Creator!"
"Holy Blood?"
"Yes, the first drop of the Creator's own blood is to fuse her blood with the dark blood of mine." Wind Demon said, "After drinking this mixed blood, my magic power will increase several times. โ
"You, you're saying my sister is the Creator? Are you sure? โ
"At present, it should be true, otherwise her blood would not be so miraculous, which is also a basis for judging whether she is the creator of the world. In the legend, she will create a new world, but unfortunately, her current soul has long since disappeared, and she can no longer bear the responsibility of creating a new world, it's a pity. โ
"She's not in the Nine Hells, isn't this what you sued me too?"
"Nine hells? Who knows? The Wind Demon sneered, "Will you believe what I say?" โ
"Huh? What the? Murong Hong's shoulders drooped.
"What, you've been hit? I'm just saying: I'm not sure where her soul is, no matter how powerful my wind demon is, it is impossible for me to know the whereabouts of everyone in the world. However, according to my inference, the most likely place for her soul to go is the Nine Hells. The Wind Demon laughed, "There are really a lot of people who want to destroy her, who told her to have such great power?" It's a pity, no matter how powerful she is, she is useless, just a mortal. It's better to give me a little bit of her holy blood, and in the future, I can become the Demon Realm, no, I am the Ming Jun of the whole world, which can be regarded as a little contribution she has made to this world. Oh, by the way, Murong Hong, have you heard of a legend? โ
"What legend?"
"Once upon a time, in a distant land, there was a beautiful princess." The Wind Demon raised his terrible head, his huge, bulb-like eyes, and looked at the sky, "This is a wonderful country, peaceful, tranquil, and full of harmony between people. One day, however, disaster struck the kingdom. A terrible, incurable plague spreads across the country, and youkai are everywhere, and the country is soon plunged into chaos and is dying step by step. โ
Murong Hong looked at the Wind Demon who was telling the story, he couldn't guess why the Wind Demon was telling this story, what did he want to explain?
"The princess's father and mother, the king and queen of the country, died of the plague, and the beautiful princess was also infected with the plague, and her face became ugly, and her body was covered with lumps of flesh that only toads have, and gave off a foul stench. It turned out that the incomparably beautiful princess had turned into a disgusting ugly monster! "The people put her in a cage and sank it under the swamp for fear of infection. They fled the plague-ridden place, and before leaving, set a fire that burned the city to the ground. โ
"It's horrible." Dugu said, "Did that princess die later?" โ
"Surely she's dead, won't she die if she's sunk under the swamp?" Murong Hong frowned.
What is the Wind Demon trying to illustrate by telling this unrelated story?
"The princess didn't die, she sank under the swamp, but she evolved into a monster that could breathe in the swamp. This monster, which looks like a toad, but is bigger and uglier than a toad, can secrete a venom like a poisonous snake, and easily poison people and animals who dare to come to the swamp. It is said that this venom was produced because of the princess's resentment towards people. It can also reproduce itself, one into two, two into four, and soon the swamp is overgrown with this terrible creature, which people call them 'swamp poison frogs'. โ
"Swamp poison baby? What kind of animal is this, haven't you heard of it? Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "Ape Spirit, you have lived for more than a thousand years, you should know this thing, right?" โ
"I don't know." The ape spirit said, not only did it not strangle the wind demon just now, but it was greatly injured, and its voice was much weaker.
"Of course you don't know." Wind Demon said, "Only in the land of Daze, can there be such animals. โ
"The land of Daze? You, are you talking about the swamp on the other side of Zhongyin Mountain? Murong Hong asked.
"No, not here, but in the Nine Hells." The Wind Demon shook his head, "At first, I also thought that this land of Daze was in this bardo country, because this place was originally a swamp. However, the real location of this Daze Land is in the Nine Hells, where there are countless underground monsters. This swamp poison frog is in the land of Daze in the Nine Hells, and there seems to be some special connection between it and Dugu Xue. โ
"What connection?"
"Well, I don't know. This connection is just my own speculation. โ
"Wind Demon, are you still unwilling to tell me something?" Murong Hong was anxious, "You have obtained my sister's holy blood, you have to tell me everything about her!" โ
"Why should I sue you?" Wind Demon Dao, "Dugu Xue's storage zร i is not a good thing for our demon world. She is the creator of the world, and if she wants to create a new world, she will inevitably destroy the old world. Therefore, whether it is for us demons, or for you human race and ghost race, it will be better if she dies. โ
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my sister ruin the old world? This is a bunch of nonsense! Murong Hong shouted.
"You don't believe it? You, you, you're fascinated by this woman! The Wind Demon shook his head, "She has an infinite power, a powerful power that is innate with the sky, and in her primordial spirit, she carries the telekinesis of the swamp poison frog. โ
"You, what do you mean by that? She, what does she have to do with the swamp poison frog? โ
"If I'm not mistaken, in Dugu Xue's primordial spirit, there is the original mental power of the swamp poison frog. In other words, more than a thousand years ago, Dugu Xue's previous life was the princess who turned into a swamp poison frog! โ
"What?" Murong Hong was stunned.
"What are you kidding when you say her sister is the princess?" Dugu said, "Didn't that princess become a monster?" How did you become human again? โ
"Yes, she was a monster at the time, but she was reincarnated after she died. More than a thousand years later, she has become the Duguxue she is today. "Wind Demon Dao," although she has changed in this life, there is still that terrible memory in her primordial spirit, and once she remembers the painful past in the past, all the anger in her heart will rise. โ
"So what?" Murong Hong said.
"She will evoke terrible powers, terrifying powers! Her anger at this world will make her destroy this world and build her own world! โ
"What, you say the Creator will destroy the world?" The ape spirit said, "I think, it should be you, the big devil, who will destroy the miรจ world, right?" Really, you want to do evil yourself, and you have to frame others? The prophecy only says that the creator will end the netherworld and create a new world, but it doesn't say that the whole world will end now? โ
"We demons just want to rule this world, and we don't want to destroy this world." Wind Demon Dao, "Domination and destruction are two completely different concepts, you know? You stupid monkey! โ
"If you demons rule us, I'd rather destroy this world together!" The ape muttered.
"Wind Demon, you, you are clearly sowing discord! I don't believe it, I don't believe that my sister will ruin the miรจ world! Murong Hong shook his head vigorously, "You, you are talking nonsense, it is completely unfounded!" โ
"According to?" The Wind Demon shrugged, "I don't need any basis, I just trust my instincts. My intuition tells me that Dugu Xue's existence will inevitably ruin the world. โ
"Impossible!" Murong Hong clenched his fists, "I don't believe it, I, my sister is a good person, she is a good person!" โ
"Good guys? Do you know what a good guy is and what a bad guy is? The Wind Demon sneered, "I don't talk to you about good or bad, I just tell you that for the sake of our common world, this woman shouldn't be alive!" โ
"So, then why didn't you kill me? My current body is hers, huh? Murong Hong raised his head, "You can kill me too!" โ??????
