Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Witch's Doubts

The fog is heavy, the dark clouds are rolling, the sun is out of the pass, the sun cannot shine in all the year round, and the deeper you go, the darker it becomes.

The wind was howling, and in the depths of the demon lair, on the jade square, an altar stood.

Thirteen huge stone pillars surrounded the altar, and six demons in black robes were at the top of the altar.

The altar is sacred, and in the shallow blue pool at the top, a young egg of the Demon Emperor is enshrined. This dark yellow translucent Demon Emperor egg has been formed, and from the outside, you can faintly see the organization inside like a meridian, and between breaths, it is like a human placenta, pregnant with life.

This is the place where the demon king was born, and ordinary demons can't approach it at all, and only the noble Yuan Demon among the demons can get here!

The six Yuan Demons are all the top existences in the Demon Race, they are not as good as ordinary Demon Races, and they have wisdom that is not inferior to any living creature in this world.

They will think, reflect, use past experience, observe the trajectory of things between heaven and earth, and inherit the technology passed down by the demons in the past.

However, their innate abilities did not allow them to gain greater strength, but were tightly bound. It was a mark that penetrated deep into the bloodline soul, and this mark made everything they had unfold around the Demon Emperor.

Each of the six primordial demons was divided into a corner, reciting obscure scriptures in their mouths.

The runes engraved on the altar shone brightly, and in the shallow pool, the degree of contraction of the Demon Emperor's young eggs suddenly became faster, and those tissues like meridians pierced the epidermis and stretched into the pool, quickly absorbing the blue liquid, as if a newborn child was greedily taking **.

This is a symbol of the Demon Emperor's young eggs to hatch, and the sound of the six-dimensional demon chanting becomes faster.

However, until the blue liquid in the shallow pool was sucked clean by the Demon Emperor's young eggs, the Demon Emperor still did not come out of his shell. On the contrary, because of the dry pool water, the Demon Emperor's young eggs are rapidly shrinking, and the vitality visible to the naked eye is rapidly disappearing. The tissues that extended out of the epidermis began to wither, like dead tree bark, and turned into dead ashes, floating in the air.

This Demon Emperor's hatchling egg failed, but this is only a microcosm of the countless attempts of the Demon Race over thousands of years.

"We've run out of stored spiritual fluid, let Su Mei transport some more!"

"The spring beast tide has passed, and the road over there should have been opened. This little fox has been in good shape all these years. However, I've heard that there are some changes in the Terrans that may have an impact on our trade. ”

"It doesn't matter. That little fox is just a fake hand, and she doesn't have the ability to make spiritual liquid. The little fox was very alert, and if things changed, he would definitely retreat as soon as possible. ”

"It's a pity that there is no grass outside this Yang Jue Pass, and the materials we need are all from the human race. Otherwise, we can refine it ourselves. ”

Several Yuan Demons discussed, not at all discouraged by the failure just now, nor did they have any boredom because of the failure of this day after day.

The vast majority of demons don't have any good thoughts in their hearts, and the Yuan Demons who stand at the top of the demons don't even have evil thoughts in their hearts.

These meta-demons think, can perceive, and look at the rest of the world from an absolutely rational perspective. It may seem detached, but it has limitations.

That's the Demon Emperor.

All of their needs are centered on the interests of the Demon Emperor, and the more detached they seem, the more paranoid they become.

However, there are always some exceptions.

"Did you fail again?"

This is a female primordial demon. has long knee-length black hair, skin like snow, and is tall and not inferior to a man. Even in the human world, she is an indisputable beauty. It's just that in the eyes that should have been black, there was a blue flame burning in the pupils.

This is the symbol of the Yuan Demons, and it is also the sign that they are different from ordinary demons.

Organisms' genes mutate during the transmission process. Even among the demons whose inheritance process is very strict, there will always be accidents.

Why am I doing this here day in and day out?

Not long ago, this female primordial demon suddenly had this question in her heart. It was like a stone falling into the calm water, and her heart stirred.

Then, one question after another expanded from this most primitive question, and her heart could no longer be as calm as before.

"Nian Xianchen, what's wrong with you?"

The cold face of the partner beside him was still the same, but Nian Xianchen felt very unfamiliar. It's close, but it's far away.

"It's fine!"

Nian Xianchen knew that even if she said the doubts in her heart, no one here could answer them. On the contrary, she would be punished very harshly and cruelly.

Yang is absolutely off.

The room was dim, and there was not a single fire. Xu He returned from outside, tired and ready to go to bed.

As the governor of Liang, Xu He has an independent mansion. He tried his best to persuade Zhu Zi to stop the plan of attacking the demon cave.

"Liang Shu handed over troops, in order to prevent accidents, Liangzhou wanted to send a strong force to garrison Yuting. In this way, no matter Liang Shu, they all have scruples. Liangzhou can also reap the benefits of fishermen. ”

A soft sound made Xu He, who was sitting on the couch, break out in a cold sweat. These words were the reason why Xu He persuaded Zhu Zi not to attack the devil's den. After ten years of getting along, Xu He knows Zhu Zi better than Yang Xian and knows that he is too cautious. Compared with the uncertain wealth of the devil's cave, the Liang army and the Shu army have real gold, silver, grain and grass.

"Who?"

The candle flame was lit in the room, Xu He stood up and looked in the direction of the firelight, Yang Xian was sitting there, still holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

"Zou Yi, what do you want to do when you enter my house at night?"

"Xu Changshi, for a life-saving benefactor, is this how you report it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Changshi probably doesn't know yet! The demon clan under your command has begun to evacuate Liangzhou. And Su Mei also plans to treat you as an outcast. If it weren't for me, the incriminating evidence left by Su Mei would have been in the hands of Zhu Zi, the general of the cavalry. ”

"Impossible!"

Xu He let out a loud shout, without the graceful demeanor of the scribes in the past. He didn't believe that those lowly people would willingly lose their shelter and live a life of eating and sleeping in the open.

What was waiting for Xu He was not the answer to solve the doubts in his heart, but a chuckle.

Xu He looked at the young man in front of him, and his eyes became cold.

"What do you want to do with my handle in your hand?"

"At this moment, Liang Shu is facing each other, and there is no winner in the short term. However, if there is a strong team that fights out of Yuting and goes straight to the rear of the Liang army, then the victory or defeat can be seen in an instant. Xu Changshi is willing to be the first hero to defend the Great Zhou Dynasty to atone for his former sorrows? ”

"Are you Yang Xian's person or the Son of Heaven's person?" Xu He squinted his eyes, tried hard to suppress his killing intent, and approached step by step until he reached a suitable distance, "Do you think that you can blackmail me with my evidence in your hand?" Kill you, kill that slut again, and I can still sit firmly in the position of the governor of Liang. ”

Xu He could see that the kid in front of him was mediocre, and this distance was enough to take his life.

It's just that Xu He just raised his hand, and the bright yellow candle flame beside Yang Xian instantly turned dark green. A fireball the size of a thumb knocked Xu He ten steps away.

Xu He, who was lying on the ground, had blood on the corner of his mouth, and said unwillingly: "What kind of person is Huan Wu, how can he not be wary of his own back road?" ”

Yang Xian smiled, stood up, and slowly walked towards Xu He. In Xu He's eyes, this smile was like a demon.

"Others can't, but Xu Changshi can. Over the years, Xu Changshi has been secretly communicating with Huan Wu. Zhu Zi sent someone else, and Huan Wu would definitely be on guard. However, if Xu Changshi is willing to ask for help, Huan Wu will rest assured and put all his troops into the battle of attacking Shu. ”

At this moment, looking at the young man in front of him, Xu He really felt fear in his heart.
