Chapter 31: Kui Li and Xiao Diao

"Kui Li, you sneaked out again." A deep voice slowly came from behind the throne, and out of it came a man as tall as Dawn, his beard reaching to the ground. In his hand was a scepter that was a head taller than him. I remembered the words of the ancient vine servant at the mouth of the cave, and the one holding the scepter should be the king of the earth spirits.

"I'm just going out to breathe, after all, this place is full of the smell of the Fei Clan's nasty body." Xiao Diao's hair, which Kui Li played with, seemed to be very dissatisfied with the king.

"You kid, you are going to fight against the Fei Clan in the future, these prisoners are a test for you, how can you run away?" An equally short woman stepped out of it again, her words full of reproach for Dawn.

"Alright, okay, got it!" Kui Li was impatient, so he simply sat down on the chair next to him. I really couldn't stand such a situation, and I was eager to know the whereabouts of Xifeng, so I couldn't help but speak.

"Dear King, is my friend here?" This is the etiquette I learned from the servants of the ancient vine tree, and it is used on the king.

"What friend? Who are you? I don't know? "The king coped with me irritably. I had to take out the black feather that had fallen from Xifeng and set it in front of him.

"What are you doing? I don't know! The king's eyes widened and he stared at me.

"The stream breeze is clearly captured by the ancient vine monster of your earth spirit, and you still deny it." Dream ran forward and pointed at the king's nose and cursed. Frightened, the king hid behind the queen. Seeing this, I quickly pulled the dream down, and Kui Li on the side snorted and laughed.

"Just tell me your problem, they're just passing by." Kui Li glanced at the king, and it seemed that he had become accustomed to it.

"What?" I don't understand. I didn't expect that the dignified Earth Spirit King would be rejected by the prince like this.

"Okay, old man, rescue the Earth Spirit Princess from the Fei Clan, and I'll let your friend go!" As he spoke, the king took out a black feather from his bosom.

Sure enough, the brook wind is in his hands! I looked at the secretly smug king of the earth spirit, and the prince Kui Li, who disdains the king, what secrets are there between them. This earth spirit is just too strange.

Doubts quietly planted roots in my heart.

The Earth Spirit King sent me away like this. Very polite and unceremonious.

Kui Li found me and Dream a place to stay, and told us that this was the umpteenth time that the king had prevaricated with the matter of saving the princess

"He's always like this, he likes to stump people with this, and you're not the first." Out of the king's cave, Kui Li told me helplessly. I asked him what had happened to the princess of the earth spirit, and he sighed and began to tell the princess about the earth spirit.

"Decades ago, the princess of the Earth Spirit, Viya, who was my sister, disappeared after she had completed the ceremony. The ancient vine servant of the earth spirit said that there was a man with wings waiting for her somewhere, and Via went with him. And that's where the Fei Clan borders. Everyone thought that it was the people of the Fei Clan who kidnapped Veya, so they hated the Fei Clan even more, and the king sent the soldiers of the Earth Spirit to search for a long time, but there was no news of Veya. But I knew that Via, like me, hated the spirits. That's why she ran away. Hide it so we can't find it. ”

"And after that?"

"After that, he began to hunt down the Fei Clan on a large scale, and told the Ancient Vine Tree Spirit that once the Fei Clan people stepped into the realm of the Earth Spirit, they would be arrested."

"So that's the case, the conflict between the Earth Spirit and the Fei Clan will deepen," I said, looking at Kui Li, who seemed dissatisfied with the king's move.

"He never cares what Viya and I think! Just know how to make decisions in your own way. Kui Li lowered his head and looked solemn. I walked over and patted him on the shoulder like a big brother, and after a while, he pointed me and Dream in the direction of the Fei Clan, and left us behind.

"Xiu, this Kui Li is so strange, he looks like he looks in front of the king, but when he leaves the palace, he looks different." The dream is very right, this Kui Li is changing too fast. I really don't know what he went through. I looked at Kui Li's back, as if I was a little lonely, a little lonely.

Until the next day, we didn't see Dawn. Dream and I had no choice but to take the demon and set off in the direction that Kui Li pointed us out. The Flyer? I don't know what to encounter, the Earth Spirit King inexplicably gave this difficult question, but for the sake of Xifeng, I have to accept it.

Along the way, I clenched my dream's hand and walked with mixed feelings. The dream seemed to see through my thoughts, and comforted me by saying that Xifeng would be fine. My grip tightened.

After passing through a large forest of ancient vines, Dream and I came to a cliff, and looking around, I found a strange sight. The ground behind me was much flatter than on the other side of the cliff, and on that side, there were towering rocks and trees, and there were babbling streams everywhere, and occasionally a few birds were seen.

I'm guessing this is where the Flyers live. Just as he was about to step in, a familiar voice sounded in the air, "Hey, just go to the Flying Clan?" ”

"Dawn!" As soon as I turned around, I saw Kui Li standing behind me with Xiao Diao, and his eyes were a little more serious.

"It?" Dream and I said in unison, what can this guy do except talk a lot.

"Xiao Diao has a keen sense of smell and can take you around the Scouts of the Fei Clan."

I looked at Kui Li, and there was something in his eyes that I couldn't understand why he was carrying his father behind his back to help me.

"Don't think about it, I'm afraid that you will die at the hands of their scouts before you enter the Fei Clan." Kui Li dropped this sentence and turned to leave, leaving Xiao Diao looking at us directly.

"This Kui Li is too strange!" Dream sighed and touched Xiao Diao who came over.

"No, he's just too lonely!" Xiao Diao spoke suddenly, his dark and round eyes kept staring at the direction of Kui Li's departure, and his unique voice sounded in the wind in front of the cliff:

"As the only prince of the earth spirit, Kui Li has to accept the temperament of his father's king since he was a child, that is, the strong country that the earth spirit king has admired for generations, Kui Li has to accept many challenges from the earth spirit warriors every day, until those warriors are defeated, every time he challenges, the earth spirit will keep an eye on Kui Li, not afraid that he will be injured, but afraid that Kui Li will fail. In this way, Kui Li gradually grew up, and he came to life from under the fists of those warriors, and the first time I saw him was at his coming-of-age ceremony, which was the only gift he asked the Earth Spirit King to give him, which Kui Li told me later. I was just a small pet at the king's feet, and it didn't matter to the king, so he generously gave me to Kui Li. ”

Hearing Xiao Diao say this, I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Kui Li, he didn't like the strong royal power to pretend to be so playful in front of the king.

Later, when the princess Via disappeared, the king swore an oath in front of his ministers and the people of the Earth Spirit that he would rescue the princess from the Fei Clan, but Kui Li questioned the king in front of everyone why he thought that it must be the Fei Clan who had kidnapped Via. The king was furious, and threw his scepter at Kui Li, who fell in a pool of blood, and the king looked down at him from above, and said word by word, that no one should question the kingship of the earth spirits. I saw that the king's beard was stained with the blood of Kui Li, and he did not say a word, and his eyes changed from despair to cold ....... "Xiao Diao's breathing became heavier, I understood, it witnessed all this in front of Kui Li, at that moment, it should be the same heartache as Kui Li, "Later, the king imprisoned Kui Li in the dungeon for a year, as a punishment, it was dark and damp, and there was no sunlight all year round, and the king forbade me to accompany Kui Li, I was worried about Kui Li, so I dug out a small hole in the corner of the dungeon and sent him fresh flower dew every day to heal him, and later the king found out, sent me to the mushroom house, accepted punishment, and plucked my fur, Thrown into the dungeon, in the darkness, Kui Li cried and screamed, his hands pounding against the wall hard, blood pouring down ....... ”

Kui Li's story shocked me and Meng, "The Earth Spirit King forced the good prince to look like this, and disguised himself as another in front of his parents," Dream sighed in a low voice.

"No, Kui Li is resisting the royal power!" I remembered Kui Li's frivolity in front of the Earth Spirit King, and corrected the dream.

"Let's go, although you can't find the princess, Kui Li doesn't want your lives to be in danger." After that, Xiao Diao jumped off the cliff one by one.

Dream and I had to keep up.

When I got to the other side of the cliff and looked back, I realized that the Fei Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan were actually separated by this cliff.

Diao walked quickly, leading us several times to avoid the Flying Scout soldiers, they had transparent wings, holding long swords hovering over us, after passing through a large woods, we met a patrol of Flying Clan soldiers, and seeing that they were about to be discovered, Xiao Diao led us into a small jungle. There are a few Fei families there. Xiao Diao knocked on the door, and it was an old woman who opened the door.

I asked Xiao Diao to step back, and I stepped forward and bowed my head respectfully, "Mother-in-law, can you let us go in and rest for a while." ”

"Yes, guests from afar!" The old woman happily invited me to go in with the dream.

The old woman seemed to be the only one in the room, and the simple furnishings and a few little squirrels made the small cottage look poor and lively.

"Mother-in-law, do you live here alone? What about your family? While helping the old woman pull up the bench, she teased the little squirrel.

"Hehehe, yes! My son collected medicine for me, and for a long, long time, he never came back. "The mother-in-law sat on the bench and pounded her knees, looking like she had a leg problem.

"Is your son far away?" I asked.

"Not far away, passing through the woods over there, heard that there was a cure for my ailment at the bottom of the cliff, so he went. He never returned, and then the king's soldiers told me that he had been taken by the Earth Spirit Clan. I don't know what happened to him, and now I don't even have any news. The old woman's voice was full of longing for her son.

"Isn't the relationship between the Earth Spirit Clan and you?" I want to find out from my mother-in-law, I don't know if my mother-in-law knows about the princess of the earth spirit being taken captive by the Fei Clan.

"Well, I don't know what happened, the spirits seem to be very prejudiced against us, they seem to be afraid that we will rob them of their land and food, but our king has not given such an order." The old woman shook her head helplessly.
