Chapter 405: The Fallen Demon King
"Old Ancestor, where have you been these days?" Shenqi, who was walking anxiously around Dongting Lake, suddenly found that Dongting Ancestor was standing in front of her, Dongting Ancestor had been nowhere since a few days ago, everyone except Hong Meiling was constantly looking for her, although Dongting Ancestor was a master of the demon king level, but now she has run out of oil, although even if no one deals with her, she will not live long, but it is precisely because of this that Shenqi wants to protect her, compared to Dongting Ancestor is the benefactor of their two mothers and daughters, and now Dongting Ancestor suddenly appeared in front of her It made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, let me worry you, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes, so I've arranged it for the kids these days." Dongting Ancestor said indifferently, "In a short time, something big will happen here, and the old body can't control those things, but I still want to do what I can." ”
"Wait, could it be that all the monsters around Dongting Lake have moved away for various reasons in the past few days?" Shenqi remembered that in the past few days, there have been monsters leaving the territory of the Dongting Ancestor, but because she is focused on finding the Dongting Ancestor, she has not paid too much attention.
"Well, I don't want those children to be involved, but the two girls Xiao Shu and Ling'er are too stubborn, otherwise I would have wanted them to go together." Dongting Ancestor shook his head, "There are only a few of you left in Dongting Lake now, and to be honest, this is not a good thing for you." ”
"Please don't say that, Old Ancestor, if there is anything to help, I will never refuse." Shenqi knew what Dongting Ancestor meant, as the demon king of the southern part of the Central Plains, Dongting Ancestor was about to die, and at the moment of her fall, Dongting Lake would become a battlefield, and it would eventually be divided up by the remaining demon kings.
"You are very talented, but your current ability is not enough to influence this matter." Dongting Ancestor said and looked in the direction of the East China Sea, his sharp gaze seemed to be about to cross the obstacle in front of him and reach the end of the world, "But he must be fine, as a human being, maybe this is the beginning of a new era." ”
"Wu Ming, he can't come back for the time being." Shenqi knew that Dongting Ancestor was referring to Wu Ming, the only person in the world who could fight against a demon king-level master, although he had not seen Wu Ming go all out, but Shenqi also knew that Wu Ming's combat power was by no means below that of Dongting Ancestor.
"You don't have to worry about that kid, but it's better for you to hold this thing he left behind." Dongting Ancestor took out a plain stone and handed it to Shen Qi, the moment Shen Qi touched this stone, he felt the space type technique contained in this stone, which was enough to transfer dozens of people to other places, but he didn't know where the teleportation location set by Wu Ming was, "He said that if he encounters danger, he will activate this technique, so that even the demon king can't help you, I think this thing is the best in your hands, you know when to use it." ”
"But Lord Ancestor, you" Since Dongting Ancestor gave such an important life-saving prop to Shenqi, it means that Dongting Ancestor herself no longer needs it, or that she no longer has the opportunity to use this prop. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Shenqi doesn't want to just watch his benefactor pass away.
"Don't do it anymore, old time is precious." Dongting Ancestor said and disappeared in front of Shenqi's eyes, with Shenqi's ability, let alone chasing, she didn't even know where Dongting Ancestor went, she could only slowly stand by Dongting Lake, looking at the life-saving props left by Wu Ming and crying.
"Master." After leaving Shenqi, Dongting Ancestor appeared in front of a room that was neither simple nor luxurious, Bai Shu and Xingling seemed to have known that Dongting Ancestor would come here, it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time, with their understanding of Dongting Ancestor, it was not difficult to predict her next move.
"You two clever guys." Dongting Ancestor ignored Bai Shu and Xingling, and walked straight to the door of that room, Hong Meiling was retreating inside, and judging from the aura she was exuding now, she was in the process of transformation, and when she came out, her strength would increase explosively, "How many years, it's really good, you didn't disappoint me, Xiao Ling." ”
"Master." Bai Shu pushed an easy chair over, and Xingling took the embroidery that Dongting Ancestor had not finished before, silently placed it in front of Dongting Ancestor, and then turned to leave, Dongting Ancestor didn't see it, when the two of them left, two lines of tears had already flowed down their cheeks.
"Really, can't you let me stop for a while?" Dongting Ancestor shook his head and sat on the easy chair, picking up the embroidery that had not been completed before, in fact, this embroidery was almost finished, only the last little bit was missing, but Dongting Ancestor kept dragging it, because this was a gift she used to congratulate Hongmei Linghualong on his success, so she wanted to complete it when Hongmei Linghualong succeeded.
When Dongting Ancestor sat down to embroider, the energy growth of Hongmeiling in the room began to become gentle, and it was no longer growing explosively as just now, seeing this situation, Dongting Ancestor showed a smile, but he didn't delve into it and continued to do her embroidery.
"I have always believed and believed in you, maybe you always feel that you are not good enough, maybe you always feel inferior because of the comparison with the two senior sisters, in fact, there is no need for this." Dongting Old Ancestor said to himself while completing the embroidery quickly, "Xiao Shu and Ling'er actually just want you to see a higher level of power, so they always have to show that they are stronger than you in front of you, because only in this way will you progress faster." ”
"You have a talent that is stronger than mine, as long as you have enough time to accumulate it, it will not be difficult for you to surpass me in the future." The embroidery gradually took shape, and it was already clear that it was a very beautiful dragon, mighty but not domineering, and the embroidery looked very gentle on a green cheongsam.
"I'm really glad that our people are here again, the dragon that symbolizes our meaning. In my lifetime, I finally saw the embroidery of the Dongting Ancestor because it was completed, and it was gently placed next to the easy chair, as if relieved, and the Dongting Ancestor closed his eyes peacefully.
With the words of the Dongting Ancestor, the energy growth of the red Meiling in the room completely stopped, and the Dongting Ancestor did not react to this, as if he was asleep, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and the last little by little disappeared, this demon king who stood at the top of this world disappeared into history like this, there was no luxurious funeral, and there was no vigorous ending, just like an ordinary old man dying at the end of his life.
Maybe this is the best for Dongting Ancestor, she has been pursuing a quiet life all her life, even if she has the power of the demon king, she rarely fights, and other monsters do not dare to attack because of her strong strength, so she spends an ordinary and peaceful life, and there may be many people mourning for her after her death, in her peaceful life, she has helped countless monsters and humans, Bai Shu and Xingling and Kanzaki outside the house are crying at the moment, There are also many monsters who are also mourning silently when they feel the demonic energy of the Dongting Ancestor disappearing.
Maybe Dongting Ancestor is the only monster among the demon kings who will be mourned because of her death, and the reason why there is the concept of a demon king is entirely because other characters with the strength of the demon king keep plundering, causing an indelible shadow in the hearts of the world, so there is the concept of the demon king.
In this world, the demon king is synonymous with fear and despair, as long as the demon king makes a move, then there will be no grass everywhere they go, no one, no monster has a chance to survive, leaving only the ruins that have been destroyed so that they can no longer find the original shadow.
Dongting Ancestor is an incompetent demon king, she has unparalleled strength but chooses to live in seclusion in Dongting Lake, never asked for anything, she can become a demon king only because the monsters near Dongting Lake have come to seek her refuge, and over time she has become the most prestigious monster in this area.
Even if he has known this result for a long time, it is still difficult for Shenqi to accept the death of Dongting Ancestor, although birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of this world, as long as you are not beyond the shackles of this world, then you must face these troubles, even if you are the demon king standing at the top of this world.
"There must be just a few of us left around here." Shenqi wiped her eyes and asked Bai Shu and Xingling beside her, although the death of Dongting Ancestor made her very uncomfortable, but she knew that there were more important things to do now, and she had to fade her emotional factors and make the most reasonable judgment.
"Well, counting Misuzu and Alice, there are only 5 of us left here." Xingling nodded, as soon as the Dongting Ancestor died, this place would become a battlefield, so the Dongting Ancestor would dismiss the surrounding monsters a few days ago, otherwise it was very likely to be affected by the next battle.
"Actually, you should have run away a long time ago." Shen Qi sighed, and looked sternly in the direction of the north, a fierce demonic aura was rapidly approaching, and it would reach Dongting Lake in a while, "According to the information of the Old Ancestor, the first one to come should be the monster from Daji's side." ”
