Chapter 157: Retrieving the Purple Demon (3)
He Ruofei couldn't hold back even more, and shouted: "This purple demon was caught by us, do you say take it away." ”
Ye Zitong ignored He Ruofei, and only said slowly: "Since I said that I will protect them, I must take them away." After speaking, his face was as cold as water, and he stood quietly, the people of the Ye family are not easy to mess with!
Liao Guang has the most straightforward temperament, and he is quite grateful to be the first to strike, but he has no good impression of this person who covers his face with a hood and is difficult to distinguish between men and women, and said coldly at the moment: "Your Excellency said that it is too domineering." ”
After Liao Guang finished speaking, the rest of the people also showed dissatisfaction.
Ye Zitong deliberately lowered her voice, just because she was afraid that everyone would see through her identity, and at this time, everyone would be hostile to her, and under the watchful eye of everyone, she was not only not angry, but had an inexplicable excitement, as if she had returned to the old style of being an enemy in the Heavenless Prison.
Seeing this, I was slightly anxious, but I didn't know what to say. However, Lin Qi sympathized with the encounter between the purple demon and the sand ghost, and whispered to Lu Yueniang: "Senior sister, these two people are so pitiful, you persuade Hall Master Luo and Hall Master Liao to let them go." ”
Lu Yueniang patted Linqi's shoulder lightly, thinking in her heart that these three people had extremely high martial arts, and although they saved everyone, their origin was unknown. And the Broken Sword Sect of the Qingyang Sect is also a faction of Tianhe, and it can be regarded as his own family, so he can't have a dislike with them for the sake of two different races. So he comforted Linqi softly and watched the changes.
Duanmu Bing, who had been standing quietly in the distance, also seemed to sense something abnormal, her body moved slightly sideways, and a faint murderous aura immediately dispersed, like an unsheathed sword, making everyone smell a trace of danger.
Luo Longyang was secretly shocked in his heart, the most terrifying of the three was this cold woman in Tsing Yi. Looking at her situation, it seems that she has reached the realm of the invisible sword qi that the sect master said. The Qingyang Sect is good at swords, and although it is not a big faction, it has a certain understanding of swordsmanship.
Such a person must not be offended, Luo Longyang was shocked in his heart. So he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Ye Zitong: "Your Excellency is compassionate and convincing. A few of us have a helping hand, and the Tianhe faction should repay it, and this purple demon will be left to the three of them. ”
He Ruofei was a little surprised when he saw Luo Longyang's sudden change of attitude. Hurriedly said: "Master, why are you" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Luo Longyang and pressed back the words behind.
Liao Guang also looked wrong, and his face was cold and he didn't speak. His martial arts attainments are no worse than Luo Longyang. Of course, I know the reason for the sudden change in his attitude. Although he has a hot temperament, he will not do stupid things, and the current crisis has not been resolved, and he is not guilty of sending the few remaining disciples to a dead end for the sake of a momentary will.
Ye Zitong sighed secretly in his heart, he made a heroic momentum, but it was not as direct as Duanmu Bing's actual threat. Once upon a time, a young woman overpowered herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd. So Ye Zitong asked the purple demon, "Where do you live?" ”
Probably knowing that he and the Sand Clan were temporarily safe, the purple demon was slightly relieved, but still a little timid. He replied softly: "We used to live in the Black Forest." ”
"Oh." Ye Zitong nodded, and asked again: "Then why did you come here, don't you know that this place is also dangerous?" ”
When the purple demon heard this, a frightened look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said timidly: "That's, that's because"
"I'm here to sue you." The sand ghost, who had never spoken, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said coldly: "That's because, in the Black Forest." There's a bunch of people who are as fierce and evil as you humans. It seems that his hostility towards humanity has been deeply entrenched, even as people spare his life. Nor did he feel the slightest gratitude.
Seeing that the faces of the people around him were angry, Ye Zitong didn't think it was angry, and continued to ask: "Yes, what kind of guys are they, were you driven out by them?" ”
The Sand Tribesman named Ato still spoke in a hostile tone: "It's the Mountain Ghost Clan, those guys used to live at the southern end of the Black Forest, but I don't know why they ran to the place where we live recently, and attacked us like crazy, we had no choice but to migrate to the Red Sand Plain." ”
"Mountain ghosts?"
"Yes, those guys are very stout, they are as strong as mountains, and they are taller than you humans, so they are called mountain ghosts. We Sands couldn't defeat them, so we had to withdraw from the Black Forest. ”
"Have all the Sandlings quit the Black Forest?"
"It's not." Ato shook his head: "At present, only our clan has been attacked, and the other Sand tribes live in the deeper part of the Black Forest, and the mountain ghosts have not yet invaded there. ”
"Then why don't you move deeper into the Black Forest, but instead come to this equally dangerous place?"
"The mountain ghosts cut off our retreat, and besides, these barbarians are just robbing us, and they won't stay long, and we'll go back when they're gone."
After listening to Ato's words, Ye Zitong shook his head slightly, the Sand Clan is a naturally cowardly race, although it has a sense of hatred, it has no ability to resist. When attacked by external forces, they only know how to avoid it, but they do not know how to use force to deter the enemy. But it was a bit difficult for them to fight enemies who were several times stronger than themselves.
"If I let you go, do you have anywhere else to go?" Ye Zitong looked at the two survivors.
"We still have a group of people who have not come to the Red Sand Plain, and when the mountain ghosts rushed in, they were separated from us, and I believe they can be found on the edge of the Black Forest." The Sand replied.
"In that case, I can send you to find them." Ye Zitong said kindly.
"No need, we'll go ourselves." Ato refused, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Oh, really?" Ye Zitong was not reluctant, only smiled slightly: "Okay, you can go." ”
Ah Teng looked at Ye Zitong, as if he was speculating on the truth of her words, and seeing that everyone did not react, he tried to take a step and limped to Ah Zi's side.
Before leaving, the purple demon named Ah Zi leaned forward slightly and gave Ye Zitong a salute: "Thank you." He took a deep look at her, and then left with the sand ghost.
"This purple demon is quite polite." Ye Zitong smiled, and suddenly said again:
"Are you sure you two will be able to reach the Black Forest safely?"
Ato stopped, he turned to look at Ye Zitong, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Ato." The purple demon called softly. There was concern and requigence in his tone.
Ato looked at Ye Zitong, his eyes kept flickering, and after a long time, he finally spoke:
"We Sand people trust our instincts, if you can get Ah Zi safely to the Black Forest. Then, you are our eternal friends of the Sand people, and the Sand tribe will always welcome you. ”
Ji'er pointed to Luo Longyang's group of people: "Don't come with you, the people of the Sand Tribe don't welcome you." ”
Looking at the short stature, bruised face but arrogant expression of the Sand people, He Ruofei was so angry that his face turned pale, and he wanted to pierce the Sand people with a sword. Luo Longyang smiled bitterly in his heart. It is said that the Sand people are the most stupid and reckless race in the Red Sand Plain, but the Sand people in front of them are not like that at all.
"Alright, let's go." Ye Zitong didn't think much of Ato's attitude, in the past, she had seen a guy who was even more unruly than this Sand Clan.
Ato snorted. Immediately took Ah Zi to the southwest, Ye Zitong swept everyone, nodded, said hello, and then followed with Qiu and Bing.
"Sister Bing, I'm going with you." When Lin Qi saw that Duanmu Bing was leaving, she was so anxious that she exhaled.
Duanmu Bing looked back at her, his expression slightly hesitant. Fu turned around again and followed Ye Zitong and the others.
"Hall Master Luo, this" Lu Yueniang didn't expect the three of them to leave, and couldn't help but look at Luo Longyang.
Watch the five people leave. Luo Longyang could only shake his head helplessly: "Let's go." "No matter how thick the skin is, he can't continue to rely on the side of these three people, he still has the basic self-esteem of the martial artist, and now he can only rely on his own strength to rush to Yandu, I hope that nothing will happen on the way.
"Sister Bing." Lin Qi, who was standing beside Lu Yueniang, reluctantly looked at Duanmu Bing's distant figure, and almost cried. Lu Yueniang stroked her little head and sighed slightly.
The Black Forest is located on the edge of the Red Sand Plain. There are big trees with roots and old branches knotted. Beasts are rampant, apes and wolves are infested. However, there are also countless exotic flowers and plants, elixir and spiritual roots, which are not only deep and quiet, inaccessible, but also have many strange and strange things, which is one of the most mysterious places in the past dynasties. An alien race like the Purple Demon, which is regarded as a treasure by humans, has been hidden in it for many years, and has survived with the protection of the Sand Tribe.
On a cold night, a small bonfire burned in a moor near the edge of the Black Forest. Several people gathered around the bonfire, quietly staring at the fire candles jumping in front of them, Ye Zitong and his party walked for three days, and finally came to this endless primitive land.
After three days of getting along, coupled with the fact that Ye Zitong and the others had solved a few gangs of rogues on the road for the Sand Clan and the Purple Demon, Ah Teng's eyes were no longer so hostile, and he had begun to believe that these humans really wanted to help them.
Through the faint smoke, looking at the Sand Clan people who were guarding the Purple Demon tightly, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you Sand Clan people so desperate to protect the Purple Demon?" ”
Among Ye Zitong and his party, his personality is the most casual, and most of the conversations on the road are completed between him and the Sha people.
"You don't know?" Ato looked at it suspiciously, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, you humans only pay attention to the appearance of the purple demon, but you don't know that the purple demon has a natural ability. Almost every Purple Demon has an extremely subtle connection with plants since birth, they can clearly distinguish the properties of various flowers and trees in the forest, and can cure the injuries or diseases of the Sand people according to the medicinal properties of the plants. With them, the chances of death are greatly reduced, so all the Sand people treat them as saints of the clan. The number of purple demons is extremely rare, not all sand tribes have purple demons, in the sand society, only those who have purple demons can be called a department, and the rest can only be regarded as a group of sand people, not a tribe. Therefore, each of the larger Sand tribe groups wants to have a Purple Demon, which is the symbol of the Sand tribe and their glory.
Speaking of this, the Sand Tribesman raised his head with some pride, because there was a purple demon in his tribe, although this purple demon almost brought him the disaster of extermination. (To be continued)
