The calmness and resoluteness in those eyes proved that this was not Zhang Longqian's impulse, but the answer that was reached after really thinking about it, which made Bai Lu, who subconsciously objected, stunned for a moment, and then sighed and sat back in place.

“…… Forget it, my mind has always been less quick than yours, and if it was your deliberate conclusion, it should be right. ”

Bai Lu's strong trust in Zhang Longqian made the frozen Nangong Piao feel a little unreasonable, and he immediately panicked: "Bai Lu, how can you be so easy...... That's not going to work! How is it possible to join forces with youkai? They won't agree to join forces with humans against their own kind! Right, Zhou Miao? ”

Saying that, Nangong Piao looked at Zhou Miao, who had always been calm, and asked her for approval, but Zhou Miao looked at Zhang Longqian with a thoughtful look.

"No, it might work."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Miao also agreed with Zhang Longqian's idea, Nangong Piao's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Zhou Miao, what are you talking about?" ”

"Facts." Indifferently threw two words at Nangong Piao, Zhou Miao lifted his glasses, "After the war with the demon world, the monsters that still exist in the human world are basically left because they are unwilling to go to the demon world to accept the rule of the demon king, so it is not impossible for them to resist those old departments of the 'wolf king'." ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Zhang Longqian nodded, "So I want to go and 'talk' to the monster boss who has been restraining Zhongkun's monsters, and maybe I can get help from it." ”

Listening to Zhou Miao and Zhang Longqian's words, Nangong Piao felt like listening to a book from heaven, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "What are you talking about?" It's impossible! Right? Saying that, he looked at Cang Yan, who had been silent until now, but Cang Yan just looked at Zhang Longqian and said two words softly.

"Kono."

"What?" Zhang Longqian blinked suspiciously.

"The boss of the Zhongkun monster, named Kono."

The cold voice did not fluctuate, but it provided the necessary information, and there was no doubt that Cang Yan also agreed with Zhang Longqian's idea, which made Zhang Longqian finally have some bottom in his heart, but it also made Nangong Piao shout out with an incomprehensible face.

"Enough! What are you all talking about? It's absolutely impossible to join forces with youkai! ”

"I told you, Nangong, how do you know if you haven't tried it? Anything is possible. ”

Zhang Longqian's firm tone made Nangong Piao anxious, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and said loudly in an almost hard manner: "But it's impossible to join forces with monsters!" We...... We're mages! How can you be in the same league as youkai?! ”

Once a person with a gentle temperament broke out, the state was a little scary, and everyone was silent for a while, just quietly looking at Nangong Piao, who was panting a little because he shouted too hard. Until the clerk who was alarmed by this sound and came to check left under Zhang Longqian's smile, no one made a sound, which made Nangong Piao feel that everyone might finally understand, but when he looked up expectantly, what he saw was Zhang Longqian's somewhat troubled smile.

"What...... It turns out that Nangong, are you worried about this kind of thing? ”

The tone of not taking what he just said seriously made Nangong Piao immediately widen his eyes and retorted: "What is 'this kind of thing'? That's the most important thing, isn't it? If you don't have that pride as a mage......"

"But where did the 'mage' come from?" Calmly interrupting Nangong Piao's words, Zhang Longqian raised his finger and pointed at the four people, and then pointed at himself, "The 'student' who hasn't learned all the four spells, a 'loose cultivator' who hasn't even figured out the edge of the spell, where do you say we got the 'mage' here?" ”

Nangong Piao choked for a moment, and then said, "But we will always become mages!" ”

Hearing Nangong Piao say this, Zhang Longqian's eyes, which were still a little smiling, suddenly became fierce: "It's just a team with the previous enemy, what does it matter?" Nangong, let me ask you, which is more important than the safety of the human world, the safety of Zhong Kun, the safety of five million human beings, or your inexplicable mage pride? ”

This question made Nangong Piao's eyes widen, he looked at the serious Zhang Longqian, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and his gaze slowly moved down until it fell back on the cup in front of him. Everyone looked at him quietly, no one spoke, he just stared at the cup for a long time, and then finally sighed.

“…… It's me who is too stubborn. If you can't even protect mortals, what kind of 'mage' are you talking about? ”

Seeing that Nangong Piao finally figured it out, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but gently hook the corners of his lips: "Very good." So, let's talk about 'talking' with that monster boss, Kono. ”

Bai Lu lay on the table and said with little confidence: "The question is, will Kono really meet us?" He's a big monster that's a lot to deal with! ”

Looking at Cang Yan, who knew the name of this monster boss, Zhang Longqian looked at Bai Lu again: "You all seem to know each other, don't you?" ”

"Of course, because that guy can be regarded as a disgrace to the Dao Law Realm!"

Seeing Bai Lu's emotional look, but not continuing, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiaolu, the situation is very urgent now, and I don't have time to chat with you slowly like before." If you know anything about Kono, tell me quickly, and if I know his situation, I can think about what to do next. ”

"Ahh I'm sorry, it's a habit to ......" stuck out his tongue, and Bai Lu thought about it seriously and said.

Kono is not a local youkai of Nakakun, but suddenly came to Nakakun six years ago.

At that time, the number of Zhongkun's monsters far exceeded that of other cities, and the number of human "missing cases" every day was also a terrifying number, and what was worse was that none of these local monsters obeyed anyone, and they fought endlessly every day, and the whole city was in chaos. However, one day six years ago, Kono suddenly arrived at Nakakun, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately subdued all the monsters here at a jaw-dropping speed, and became the boss of the monsters.

For the first time, Zhongkun's youkai was commanded.

After all, Zhong Kun was not under the jurisdiction of the Dao Law Realm, and there was very little information about Zhong Kun, so the Dharma Hall did not immediately notice that this was caused by an alien monster, so it didn't pay much attention to this kind of power struggle between monsters. By the time he found out that it was an alien monster after nearly a year, Zhongkun had become different from before.

Because of the sudden boss, the behavior of the monsters was restricted, and the number of human "disappearance cases" in Zhongkun plummeted, and the entire city became unusually peaceful. Such a change made the Dharma Hall immediately try to find out, after all, the foreign monsters are in the right place and do not occupy any of them, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to control the local monsters so quickly, let alone organize a new order. But this youkai who became the boss did it, which proves that it must have the absolute strength that local youkai can't resist!

A big monster with the ability to overwhelm the demons will naturally attract the attention of the Law Palace.

When it took some time to finally find out the name of this monster, the Dharma Hall immediately mobilized a large number of people without hesitation and sent it to this Zhongkun, which was not under their jurisdiction.

It's just because the name of that youkai is "Kono".
