"You ...... What is this doing?"

A slightly sleepy lazy voice sounded, everyone in the tent retracted their heads, and the faces of Charles and Karp, who were facing each other, suddenly froze, and they turned their heads with some difficulty, looking at the girl in the white dress who came out of the waves on the lake, and her magic suddenly converged.

"Shakira, are you awake?"

Glancing at the two who were a little sluggish, Chen Ming got up and walked to the lakeside and came to her, "I'm sorry for the noise." ”

"It's fine. ”

Shakiro shook her head, glanced at the two people next to the campfire, and said, "Isn't it interesting to come here every night?"

When she asked this, Charles didn't show anything, and Karp's face turned a little red.

When they first came to the Eye of Hell, they had a meeting with Shakira, and at that time, Karp and the others just thought that this girl was very beautiful, and nothing else, just as she was an ordinary girl, because Shaqiro did not have the slightest magic in her.

Until the end of the night, the Flame Demon and the Majin Legion had some verbal altercations, and even briefly clashed, and Shakiro slept at the bottom of the lake then, just like now.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, the Flame Demons had just woken up, and they just needed some combat to familiarize themselves with the environment, but the only one they miscalculated was that they accidentally injured Chenming.

In the early days, Charles didn't interfere with anything, just commanded the Flame Demon to fight with the Demon at will, but because of Karp, a Demon who was about to break through the Eighth Order, and the large number of legions, the Flame Demon was quickly suppressed.

How could the competitive Charles tolerate the defeat of the Flame Demon?

After Charles joined, the people on both sides played a trace of real fire, and the violent collision woke up Chenming, who was also at the bottom of the lake at the time, he was worried that the situation would develop in the direction of getting out of control, so he hurriedly went to the surface of the lake, but he didn't expect that as soon as he surfaced, he was instantly injured by two forbidden spells.

And this was the beginning of their nightmare.

While noticing that Chen Ming was injured, they hurriedly withdrew their hands, and just as they were about to rescue Chen Ming ashore, the water on the lake instantly turned red, like a sea of blood.

The moonlight was reflected on the surface of the lake, in a scarlet color, and the girl who usually didn't like to talk and had a cold face also surfaced, and this time, the skirt on her body was red for a moment.

How terrible is that?

Everyone present felt the breath of the end coming, and even Charles was almost beaten back to the prototype.

If it weren't for Chen Ming to stop it in time, they could even feel that without Shaqiluo's action, this desert would be the place where everyone would be buried.

This is the closest they have come to death since they were born, and the fierce force that they can't resist is more terrifying than the pressure brought to them by the Demon King.

From that day on, they could no longer ignore this good-looking girl, and even, they seemed to have forgotten the girl's appearance, although knowing her existence was extremely strange.

So in the next few days, Charles and Karp certainly had some rivalry, and they tried their best to suppress themselves and not let the magic affect their surroundings, but today, they were a little carried away.

"Forehead ......"

Rolling his eyes in embarrassment, Charles didn't dare to look directly at her face, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shakiro, we tried not to disturb you. ”

"Your presence has affected me. ”

Speaking mercilessly, Shakiro turned to Chenming, "Why don't you come down to sleep?"

"Hmm...... I still have some things to discuss with them, so I'll go back later. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they have eaten enough for a lesson, where will there be a next time?"

"Oh. ”

Shaqiro didn't say anything, and stepped on the surface of the lake again, letting her body sink to the bottom of the lake and disappear.

"Hoo ......"

The girl went back to the bottom of the lake, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Charles smiled wryly and said, "I seem to know some of Miss Shakiro's identity, she ......"

"If you don't want to die, don't dwell on her topic. ”

At this time, Chen Ming's voice interrupted him, "Her identity is not something you can mention. ”

Charles's pupils constricted, he opened his mouth, surprisingly did not refute, and then looked at Chen Ming with some curiosity, and said, "It's just that I have some questions, with this identity, how did you intersect?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's fate?"

Sitting back next to the campfire, Chen Ming said with a smile, "Meeting her is the good luck of my life." ”

"Ahem......"

The single dog can't listen to show affection, even if it is the two strong men, there is embarrassment on their faces, but they are helpless, they are frightened by Shaqiluo, but they dare not do anything to Chenming.

The night in the desert was very short, about two-thirds of Hestifo's, and because of the large army eager to find the demons, Chenming, Charles, and Karp could only lead the legion to the other side of the desert early.

The magic army marched very fast, but it was still much slower than advancing alone, in order to save magic power, they used to march on foot, and the one who knew how to enjoy it the most was Chenming.

When he came out of the Eye of Hell, Chen Ming hunted a sixth-order Earth Flame Lizard as a means of transportation, and after understanding, he also learned the origin of the lizard from Charles's mouth.

The ancestors of these Earth Flame Lizards were actually brought together by the Flame Demons when they came to the human world three hundred years ago, but their magic power passed much faster than the Flame Demons composed of pure elemental magic, so the first batch of Earth Flame Lizards were already very few left when they found the Esgol Desert.

Therefore, even in the vast desert, the number of ground flame lizards is still extremely rare.

Charles can allow Chenming to capture the Earth Flame Lizard, but he will never allow Karp and these demons to capture it, in this world where the clan is already scarce, this Flame Demon treats the descendants of these Earth Flame Lizards as his clansmen, how can he allow others to ride on their heads? Of course, with the monster of the monster, Charles didn't dare to say anything.

The scope of the Esgol Desert was extremely large, and even if Chen Ming and Shaqiluo were on their way, it would take them three or four days to reach the Eye of Hell in the center, not to mention this demon army of a thousand people, and after walking for nearly ten days, they saw a touch of green.

"At the current rate, it is estimated that in one more day, we will be able to reach the line where General Ed and his team are. ”

After a brief glance at the map, Karp said, "In case of any unexpected incidents, my advice is to rest for the night today and leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, I also need to find out about the strength of the country called Nix. ”

Of course, Chen Ming had no reason to oppose Karp's suggestion, in view of the incident that happened a few days ago, he was still a little afraid, although Shaqiro did not use magic power at that time, but just releasing his breath made Chen Ming a little overwhelmed.

At that moment, it was as if he felt that the whole world was rejecting the girl, as if he wanted to expel her.

Everything is based on Shaqiluo's safety as the first condition, this is An Mixiu's warning to Chenming, and it is also Chenming's own warning to himself, he is not willing to lose the person he loves again.

Jumping off the ground flame lizard, Chen Ming released the lizard, although Charles had no opinion on the surface that he caught the ground flame lizard, but judging from the latter's attitude towards him, he must have an idea in his heart.

Sure enough, after Chen Ming released the Earth Flame Lizard, Charles's face softened a lot, his sleeve robe waved, and dozens of flames with rich spirituality appeared there.

Flame Demons are elemental demons who don't have physical bodies, so when they don't have to, they usually merge into a certain clan's body, so that not only is their safety guaranteed, but their travel speed is also increased.

After the flames appeared, they directly turned into human forms and walked to the side to assist the demon army in building a camp.

After the tent was set up, it was already early night, and next to the bonfire, Chen Ming asked, "I heard that the national strength of Nixis is not inferior to that of Hestifo, even if it is a magic war, it is evenly matched against the demons of Hestifu, this is not something that ordinary resident magicians can do, could it be that Nixus also has a special race similar to the demon race?"

Karp shook his head and said, "I don't know about the other continents, but as far as the western continent is concerned, I can be sure that there are no primordial beings like demons other than the central country of Hestifo. ”

"If that's the case, then how did they do it?"

Chen Ming was puzzled, he who had direct contact with demons knew the power of this kind of life, and even a very few demons were not far behind those demon kings' successors, "Is it because of the quantity?"

"Part of it. ”

Karp nodded and said, "But most of the reason is because of the special nature of those magicians' accommodations. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Normally, no matter how strong an ordinary lodger is, their strength will not be as strong as that of the original demon, and if they want to match a demon in the same rank, they need to have at least four host magicians to do it, but there is a kind of lodge that does not have this restriction." ”

"Another kind of boarding?"

Chen Ming touched his chin, and then let out a voice of surprise, "Life sacrifice?!"

"It seems that Mr. Tatsunato has a wide range of knowledge about magic. ”

Karp smiled approvingly and nodded, " You are right, it is a life sacrifice, whether it is heaven or hell, if you want to stay in the human body, you must trade with humans through a contract, and while getting desire, you must also pay the corresponding magic price, and among them, the highest specification, it is also a unique trading method of hell, that is, to sacrifice your own life, and even your soul, to obtain all the power of the demon, while getting this power, the life of this human being, will only have a few years left, but the more you pay, the more you will return, he will get the demon's physique, as well as all the demon's magic power and ability, in this way, even if it is a demon, and it doesn't take any advantage in front of this kind of magician. ”

"What kind of madness is it to give up one's life for short-lived power?"

Chenming's brow furrowed, he could feel that even if Hestifo came out of the nest, he might not be a match for Nix, because no one could defeat the madman.

"In fact, in the past, this kind of life sacrifice was not uncommon, and in times of war, no one can guarantee whether they will survive until tomorrow, in this case, there is nothing wrong with being able to get a strong force to protect something. ”

Karp's face has not changed, he is a warrior, he has seen more things about life and death than Chenming, so even if Chenming is a demon, in terms of experience, he will not lose a cent, "The kingdom of Nixis is a world infested with demons, and the war with our Hestifo has not been interrupted since ancient times, although I don't agree with their approach, but their courage is beyond our comparison." ”

"But your Emperor is still thinking of annexing this crazy country. ”

Tatsunato sneered in his heart, sending the main force of the demons to the periphery of the border of another country, this is an extremely bad provocation, and Elvika's ambition is obvious.

Take the demons as the vanguard to confront Nikos, and there are only two results, one is that both are defeated, and the other is that the demons are all destroyed, and Nikos's large army is seriously damaged, no matter which aspect, the emperor's goal has been achieved.

"Fortunately, after confronting them for so long, Nicos has never started a war. ”

Karp smiled and said, "Otherwise, the Majin will be in even more danger if there are internal and external troubles." ”

"This is indeed the best news of the day. ”

Chen Ming's eyes drooped slightly, he always felt that things would not be as simple as they thought, but he only had ideas, but there was no evidence, which made him a little upset.

As if he saw Chenming's thoughts, Charles said, "Even if Nixos will start a war tomorrow, with me, an eighth-order demon, they won't be able to make any waves, and I also know the national situation of Nikos, they sacrifice the life of a city to summon an eighth-order demon is already the limit, and one more will probably exhaust their resources, this kind of stupid way, even a fool will not choose to continue the war." ”

"That's right, although there are a lot of eighth-order demons in hell, it's not a cabbage that is full of cabbage, and if you want to summon it, the price is too great. ”

Karp nodded in agreement and said, "Summoning an eighth-order demon every fifty years is the limit of Nikos, and the active demons have only been in the human world for ten years, and it is impossible for them to summon a second eighth-order demon. ”

"I hope so. ”

Although he had the words of Charles and Karp, he was still a little worried in his heart, but he didn't show it again, whether the demon army's army was intact or not, it was related to whether Tirestin could successfully achieve his demands, how could Chen Ming not be worried?

However, worry is worry, but the arrow is on the string, and he has to send it, he can only leave aside the distractions in his heart and pray that tomorrow can be spent safely.

When he returned to the camp, Chen Ming saw that Shaqiluo still hadn't fallen asleep, and he was puzzled, so he walked up to her and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"You're worried about tomorrow. ”

Shakiro raised her head, staring at Chen Ming with scarlet eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, "You don't have to worry, I can ......"

"No, you can't. ”

Before Shaqiluo finished speaking, Chen Ming directly shook his head and interrupted, he said, "What happened last time was my responsibility, I can't blame anyone, but, your breath must not be released a second time, if I find out, I will immediately send you back to hell, until the mission is completed, we will not see each other again!"

Obviously, this slightly threatening word was a great blow to the girl, and there was a trace of confusion on her little face, she hurriedly got up, hugged Chen Ming, rubbed it in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I don't need it, don't drive me away......"

A gentle sentence, but it was like a world-class magic that completely broke through Chenming's psychological defense, and a thick guilt permeated his heart.

"It's obvious that you followed out of hell because of my business, why is it ...... You're admitting your mistake to me?"

Chenming's face was full of sadness, he hugged Shaqiluo's small body, he didn't dare to let go, whether as a human or as a demon, he was an extremely selfish existence, in order to stay with the girl longer, he even wiped out all pity for other people, everything, just to prolong this kind of time, even if it was a minute and a second.

Sadness makes people feel tired, and I don't know when, the two of them just snuggled up to each other and fell into a deep sleep, until sometime in the early hours of the morning, Chen Ming and Shaqira opened their eyes almost at the same time.

"What I was worried about still happened......

The two walked out of the tent, only to find that Karp and Charles were already outside the door, but their eyes were always fixed on the distant sky.

The night continued, the sun had not come, but above the starry sky in the distance, there was an endless brilliant light shining on half of the sky.

Chen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that in that distant place, there were terrifying magical power rippling wildly, enough to destroy the city's magic explosions, and even a few, making him feel a trace of oppression.

"Looks like we're here at the right time. ”

A wild smile appeared on Charles's face, he was already belligerent, but at this moment, his whole body seemed to be burning with a raging fire, and there was an extremely strong war intent brewing in his eyes.

In contrast, Chen Ming was much calmer, and he said to Karp with solemn eyes, "The army is moving slowly, Charles and I will go over first to see if there is anything we can help, you take the army, and speed up to keep up!"

"Good!"

Chen Ming's arrangement, of course, Karp has no opinion, among this group of people, except for the weird Shaqiluo, only he and Charles are the strongest, and the two of them together are enough to match an army of 10,000 people without the seventh order, and they rushed over, it was very suitable.

After Karp nodded, Charles took the lead in turning into a flash of fire and rushing into the sky, and Chenming also followed closely with Shaqiro spreading his wings.
